RE: the trick to dealing with hate

Hi Johnny.
Sorry I am going to hijack this blog of yours to say ..

Hi LouLou!
It's nice to see you again. Hope you're well and every other thing goes great there.

What An Adorable Man..

What An Adorable Man..

My Giant and I always travel every weekend, Sat and Sun. It’s kinda like a weekend getaway after we both have hard works from Mon to Fri. Ofcourse, it’s virtual tours. Because of the pandemic, the travel bans, and everything, we can not do in real life. Only can presidents and other vvvip of a country do that.

So yesterday, Saturday morning my time, we decided to go to Greece. This time we chose Santorini as our weekend getaway destination. He then started sharing the screen on Skype video, showed our routes on Google maps.

Him : Are we flying to Athens from the US or from Indonesia?
Me : From the US laaaahhh..
Him : Ok. So we fly to the Netherlands first, spend a day in Amsterdam having bicycle tour, enjoying some street foods, taking a rest and then we continue flying to the Airport in Athens. We spend a day in Athens for a brief sightseeing before heading to the Airport in Santorini.

Again he showed the interesting places we went to and hotels we stayed at in Amsterdam, in Athens and in Santorini.. We really enjoyed the great landscapes, the architectures, the histories, and ofcourse the foods. Surfing all those on internet with good pictures we felt the journey was real.. even the kissing. And we laughed most of the time.

Ok, there was this place in Athens that connected to Plato and Socrates.

Me : Do you know Plato? Do you know Socrates?
Him : Yeah.
Me : Morons.
Him : What?
Me : Mor..

I hadn’t finished saying the word when he suddenly burst into laughter. Yes, he laughed very very out loud. Then we both laughed out loud. (I am sure bloggers find the laughter confusing. )

Hmm.. I am glad I could make him laugh that way. I still can hear it and still can see his expression which still makes me smile. He looks more and more handsome and attractive especially when he smiles and laughs.

Ooohh.. I love my Giant and I want him in my life.. I really do so very muuaach.

What An Adorable Man..

He did it.. he did it!
Yes my Giant did it.
The City Event went pretty well. I am so proud of him.



And this morning I told him how I don't know much about his culture. So in order to not make him embarrassed when I live there, I asked him to teach me about all those. He said:

"We will learn all those together, Kal!"

You see, that's a very simple statement, but the word "together" has made a huge difference. He really makes me feel that I am part of his life.

Hmm.. I love you, my Giant. I really do with all my heart very very much..

What An Adorable Man..

For the last couple weeks my Giant has been busy doing things that are necessary for an important City Event. How can he not be when he is the chairman of that Event. That he still spends time to talk with me is really highly appreciated, although I keep on telling him that he can take his time as much as he needs. Our Skype-date can wait. I will not go anywhere anyway.

And this morning, my time when we talked..

Me : “Honey, thank you very much!”
Him : “For what?”
Me : “For always making time for me”
Him : “You are my woman!”

Ooohhhh.. he never stops making me blushed.

Good luck with the City Event, my Giant!
Please do remember that my prayers are always flowing in your veins

Hi JohnnyS

PS
Hey, how have you been doing?

RE: I can always tell when...

Well then Chatillion, obviously that some of us haven't grown up, if not never..

What An Adorable Man..

My Giant is feeling much better now. He is Up North with his Dad having moments they both always love in their life pretty much.

Enjoy your togetherness, ok.. I love you, Cintaaaa..

What An Adorable Man..

Get well soon, my Giant.. my love.

RE: Something is fishy here...

You don't really know what you missed, Chatillion!








I will take my Giant to a Beach City when he visit me here, so he can enjoy as many kinds of fish and seafoods as possible. And that fish is on the list.

At Last..

And yesterday morning, July 30th, my time, my Giant introduced me to his Dad. It was "a sudden" meeting. I mean.. I asked my Giant to inform me earlier if I was to introduce to his Dad, so I could wear a decent dress plus hijab. I didn't want to just wear T-Shirt (which I mostly did when video calling with my Giant) when meeting his Dad.

Anyway, his Dad was there.. ready to talk to me and so I couldn't refuse, neither could I ask for some time to change my clothes.

Well, I talked to his Dad on Skype video longer than I did to his son. He was so very friendly and from the way he spoke, I am sure he's a gentleman, a man with "class". I like him. He didn't make me feel like a stranger when we're talking, even though my English wasn't good enough to make our conversation flow without me saying "pardon me Sir, could you please say it again".

But over all it was a short but great introduction. I love my Giant more and more for what he did for me..

What An Adorable Man..

“I am going up North this weekend. I gotta check my Cabin. I might not spend the night there though,” my Giant told me.

Me : Oh ok.. wish I could go there too Hmm.. please take some pictures, ok.
Him : Ok I will.

Me : Hey remember when I told you that on this coming Sunday we will have a family gathering (health protocol will be applied ofcourse)? Do you mind if I let my big family see you on the screen when we Video Call and introduce you to them?
Him : No, I don’t mind.

Me : But that’s only if you have come back from the Cabin and have the time, ok.
Him : Guess what? I think I just make up my mind. I will not go to the Cabin.
Me : Why?

Him : So I can meet you big family..

And I was like..

What An Adorable Man..

“I Can’t Wait to see You,” I Said.

“Eventhough when you’re here, I don’t know what I will do nor what will happen. I don’t have any idea if I can be a good tour guide who can take you to the best places you want to visit. I am not sure if I can be a friend for you to be around and have fun with.. I have no clue if I can be a lover whom you expect to share romantic moments with.. I don't know if your stay here will be worthwhile.. Still I really do look forward to meeting you.”

And he said : “If you’re smiling and I am gonna be smiling, and we will be good.”

Oohh.. I love my Giant more and much more.

RE: No need to be alarmed

Once (or twice ) I posted a photo of my frog legs in my blog.. Kinda like this one:

RE: President Trump, The Pope, Dr. Fauci, Nancy Pelosi and a Ten Year Old Girl Are On A Plane ... And...

Bump!

RE: Prediction: The First Indictments Related To The 2016 Presidential Election Are On The Way

Bump!

What An Adorable Man..

Today is Friday, 22th of May 2020. At around 8AM my time, my Giant showed me two photos of mine and then told me something that has made me the happiest woman on Earth.

Him : "My mom stopped by to my house today. She was in a good mood."
Me : "Wow! That's good."

Him : "I showed the first photo to her."
Me : "What did she say?"

Him : "She asked " a Muslim?" and I said Yes. Then I showed her the second photo."
Me. : "Aaannd?"

Him : "She said "Hmm quite pretty." "
Me : "Really? She really said that?"

Him : "Yes. And then I told her your name. And she said " Oh I like that name!" Well, the introduction went great. And that's the most highlighted thing i wanted to tell you."


Oh dear.. oh dear... If my Giant were here, he would not be able to breathe as his lips would be sealed with mine.

What An Adorable Man..

He: Kal, which of your photo you want me to show her?
Me: Whichever, as long as the one with hijab.

Hmm..
Sunday is the Mother's day in his part of the universe. My Giant is taking his Mom out to have a good time. And he would "introduce" me to her.

Although I am keeping my fingers crossed since his Saturday.. I am getting more and more nervous as the clock tick tock tick tock

I need miracles now than ever before..

RE: The New Normal

At least all the above mentioned.

Hi Lee..

RE: Evidence that Covid 19 was around in November?

I think that what a President does or thinks should matter especially when it's publicly . That's one of so many that makes a President is different from us. And that's why a President should watch his mouth or action/reaction. Once his words or doings don't matter, it's time for a President to step down. (JMO)

Anyway, hope you and your love ones stay safe, JohnnyS.

"Kaaaalll... while I am cutting a piece of Magnesium for the chair, you can make fritters, ok. And add the Crab meat into the batter as well," he said.

So I said: "Aye aye Captain!"

Carrots

Cabbage

Chilies, garlic and scallions.

and the Crab meat.

Then I showed him how I did it, including how I added slices of ginger and garlic to the Crab meat to neutralize the smell of the Crab and how I added a love shaped of sauce.




"Honeeeey.. It's ready!"

The taste was perfecto..

PS
He and I know that the shape of the heart is not perfect, but he said he wouldn't mind taking care of the heart.

What An Adorable Man..

He knows that I am a Muslim woman wearing hijab, and so does his youngest son.

BUT..

Does his Mom know about our “relationship”?
What is his Mom’s opinion about a Muslim?
What would his Mom say about him visiting a Muslim woman in a faraway land?

You see, as much as I want to meet him and take our relationship to a further step, I don’t want to create any conflict between him and his Mom. If his Mom is strictly against our relationship, then he better not to spend his dollars to fly to my city. We both can move on, take a different path, but still remain friends.

And he said : “Ok then, I will start asking my Mom. Don’t worry, you and I will be ok”

Hmm.. every time he said “we will be ok!”,
I felt like getting a pat on my back.. so very calming.
I really do love this Giant of mine..

He Is A Republican..

@Ami
@Merc
@Lou

Thanks for all the luck. Love you all.

He Is A Republican..

Hi Chatilion

Thanks for the thumb.
Guess what?
I often showed him what I cooked. He really loved it. Every food was kinda new to him. He always said: "I would try that food with you when I am there!"

And ofcourse I would be glad to cook it for him and also take him around for culinary tours. And I will make sure he would never even think about McD nor KFC..

RE: Traditional Chinese Medicine and COVID-19...

Hi Chatilion

As popular as Covid-19 is what we call it "Empon-empon". It's Indonesian Traditional Medicine. Although I never took it before the Pandemic, I started taking it. It's not bad.

I thought there is similar traditional medicine in the USA. Indian Americans are popular for their natural medicine, no? And my Jay, a CS man whom I had relationship with, is an ND.

RE: My Covid-19 Blog

Hi Crazyh, long time no see. Glad you're ok.

Hmm.. I love this Work From Home thingy. Sure sometimes I still gotta go to the office for a meeting. But not everyday so I don't have to always travel back and forth.. home-office-home which had always been exhausting. Besides I still could buy our needs online or asked my neighbor who sometimes went to traditional market to buy me something I needed, so I am more than ok with the lockdown.

My City Govt has applied what it's called PSBB (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar). In general, it's still the "Stay-at-Home" thingy just in a higher scale. Our City is considered a "Red Zone".

Anyway, you stay safe, ok!

RE: Flip-Flops...

Like UnFayzed, inside my house, I too am barefoot.

RE: I've Not Seen Merc Here Lately - (aka "A Prior Chatting Blog")

RE: Not a pretty sight
