Benvenuto Italy ( March 2011 )

Our last destination was Italy. We took a train from Interlaken to Venice.
When we arrived at Venice, the look was different from the rest of the city we have visited.
A lot of canals and old buildings. It had a different vibe.

All the small streets and bridge looked the same and we kept getting lost eventhough we had the map.
We tried gondola cruising around the city and it was not cheap but for once in our life, it was worth it.

After that, we moved to Florence.
It was a nice city with "tan" vibes. Most of the buildings and rivers were brown theme.
We also stopped by at Pisa Tower for taking a tourist style picture.

Our last city was Rome.
The first impression was the city's traffic was such a mess. With traffic jam here and there, people honking...it looked like third world country, hence with a lot of pickpockets made us more vigilant and unable to enjoy in the fullness when we were strolling the city.

We visited Tourist landmarks like Colloseum, Vatican City,  Church of St Peter and Paul, Fontana De Trevi, Pantheon etc.

One thing that we loved about Italy was the food. The pasta was so delicious, even we just bought at the street food stall, it was so fresh and delish.
The pizza and gelato were other winners. You won't able to get these taste anywhere else.

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a  Year of Hope  by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
