Hanging there... (Holy Land Trips 28 Feb 2019)

Finally the day we have awaited for has come.
There are two news, good and not so good news.

Good news is my parents were finally in Singapore and minded the children, I felt more comfortable having two adults taking care the children instead of just one.

Not so good news is my dad was not feeling well since the night he arrived in Singapore.
He's coughing badly and running a fever. He told me he seldom sick so he's surprised that out of sudden he's feeling sick.
I thought perhaps he's too tired from the unplanned journey but he should be okay.

My husband asked me to go to adoration room an hour before our departure to airport.
There, I asked Mother Mary, all the angels and saints to pray and take care my family when we were gone.

We finally said good bye to our parents while the kids were in school.
We arrived in Jakarta in the afternoon and went straight to the hospital to visit his mom who's diagnosed with typhus.

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...
