It Ends With Us

Watched this movie earlier and I am baffled! The movie is beautiful on so many levels and I cry my heart out at how great it is 😭 So the book has been on best seller list since forever yet I never have the chance to read it but the movie is so good. All of the actors & actresses are top notch but best of all, the message that it delivered. It Ends With Us is a movie based on Colleen Hoover’s novel with the same title that talks about domestic violence. There was this denial part that they won’t acknowledge they had been in one, then it reoccured ‘till our lead actress realize that she had to stop it from happening again. For her daughter’s sake. “Either we break the pattern or the pattern break us.” Colleen Hoover says on her book and I couldn’t agree more. But it takes tremendous strength to break the pattern and that’s what this book/movie is about. It’s about strength. Strength and courage to do the right thing, no matter how hard. Domestic violence is not okay and it never wil

All we need

Sometimes all we need is just a pat in the back or hugs on a cold days. Someone to talk to, things to remembered us to. Happiness often lays in the simplest of things, I suppose. Human connection. It never was and never will be in some big, grandeur moments of gift givings or money showering. Surely there’s so much more to life than just that, right? Time & presence are on the essence and it will never be out of essence.   So I hope, oh I really hope you choose right. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 3 September 2024. Hari Selasa, pukul 3 sore.

Little

You kind of wish they would stay little forever, right? But sadly, it is not possible. My baby will start to walk & talk anytime now 🥹 So facebook has been reminding me about this month last year’s event for a while now, and I couldn’t teared up more.  My baby is growing. From the moment when he can’t even focus  his sight ‘till he become so focused when  something interest him is in sight. I feel like I’ve been in this journey forever,  you know? Together with my husband.  Interacting with baby is literally my most  favorite human interactions ever. He’s my whole life, through and through. Baby is my reason to live. He gave me purpose & contentment & love  & everything that you could ever think  of. He’s the air to my breath. Not even once since he arrived I’ve had  feelings & thoughts like I did before his arrival.  You saved me, baby. Literally. Mama loves you with all her heart, with every inch of her body and every fiber of her being 🤍 Ananda Khaira Azizah, P

You

Can I glimpse into the future To see how will you be? Are you well, healthy & kind? Are you considerate, compassionate and brave? Do you live according to your heart, following its one and only God? Do not fear the world, child. For it should fear you for standing tall and giving your all. For it should fear you for being you. With your wits, your guts & your bravery to speak up. It should fear you For being you. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 14 Agustus 2024. Hari Rabu, pukul 9 malam.

The day

For you Who dance before you could walk, and sing before you could talk. Today is the day When everyone says hurray Because finally it’s your birthday! Happy birthday, Tondi-Tondiku. One year around the sun and I’m already so proud of you.  So many wonderful memories formed between us two makes it hard for me to only name a few.  Oh how the days are fleeting & weekend passed in a blur. Oh baby, my dear baby Suddenly you are 1! Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 3 Agustus 2024. Hari Sabtu, pukul 1 malam.

Down Time

I love, love, love our routines now. That daytime is playtime & night time is reading time. A really good down time. Baby will sit down with me, pick his books then we read together ‘till he yawns  so big then ask for a sleep. This is so rewarding to me as someone who loves reading and finally, my baby starts to enjoy it too! He didn’t even glance when I read him his first book, you know 😅  So interesting watching his interest grow.  How he learn to operates the books, flipping through it by his own & watching his smile got so wide when mama make a funny face or sound / gestures. His eyes literally twinkles when he really likes what he sees. I watched his attention span got longer and longer each time (as long as you can get him interested) so it’s clearly a challenge but a do-able one.  So I guess for anyone who’s confused “What am I doing reading for a baby, do they even understand it.” phase please just keep reading to him/her! The result will reward you in its own time.  C

My ray of sunshine will play ‘till he gets very tired and so sleepy Then come up to me & ask for a huggy My ray of sunshine is so chippery, And my favorite part is now.  When he starts babbling about anything & singing about everything. My ray of sunshine is very, very lovely. He’s so curious; so adventurous and have lots of bravery in his little body. And he’ll be one in less than thirty. Oh what a journey indeed,  A beautiful journey it has been. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 23 Juli 2024. Hari Selasa, pukul 12 siang.
