nothing is what is seems

i met an old friend the other day.. and she said, "you know what? you're one of the luckiest woman i know. you're not working yet you live a comfortable life. drop the kids to school then go breakfast with your friends. have a loving husband and family, smart kids. really, you seem so happy with your life."

i was like, 
WHAT

.

here's the thing about social media. while its intention to connect people all around the world, for example: instagram makes everyone "closer". we would know for instant who's getting married, who's having a baby, etc without having an exact conversation with the person.. just a scroll through instagram and you think you know their lives. but the truth is, you don't. 
we tend to show what the world wants to see... a happy moment, a cute moment with our kids, a birthday celebration, and so on. i mean, it's only a brief aspect of our lives. and people often misinterpret it, compare it with their lives, and feel miserable about their "already perfect" life. 

i told my friend, i never go brunch hopping after school droptime. usually i'll go home to work and, or run errands. really, i don't have social life outside school. i keep my inner circle very small, and i like it that way. i stay away from toxic people, toxic friendship, and stay true to myself. i know a bunch of so called "friends" who gather around just for: 90% take a picture, 5% eating, and 5% chatting. that's so common nowadays. doin it all for the gram.
i don't want to trap in those kind of friendship. 

it's funny how i have to convince my friend to believe in my story. cos she said that my instagram tell the otherwise. lol. my life is not all cupcakes and rainbows. in fact, it is a constant struggle.. between my work, family, and myself as a mom. trust me, my brain never stop working.

so don't fall on a slippery slope called social media.. it is fun while it last, just take it with a grain of salt. 

because
nothing's ever what it seems.

anger & depression

Have you ever feel that you're the dumbest, stupidest person on earth? I did some terrible mistakes most of my life, feel like I can do nothing right.. I always wrong. Although I always tell everyone my slogan " absolutely no regrets ". But actually, there are several things that I wish I didn't do. I wish I can study more, I wish I exercise more, I wish I'm not a forgetful girl and can remember every single thing that ever happened in my life, I wish I wish I wish.. Many things I've missed in my whole life. I've messed it up and now I regret it. FFS, please forget those trashy feeling!!! back to reality.......... I've two new best-friends right now. It called "Anger" and "Depression". This "anger" and "depression" always track me down nowadays. Especially when I near my deadline, whether it's essay or Pre-Order on my OL shop. It's just... Frustrating. Sometimes I thought, can I do this alone? But than my...

our day has come

I choose you for life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my tenderest care through the pressures of the present and the uncertainties of the future. I promise to be faithful to you  I promise to love you, to commit to you, and support you. I pledge to respect your unique talents and abilities,  to lend you strength for all of your dreams. You have shown me what love feels like and for that I thank you. You are everything I need and at this moment I know all of my prayers have been answered and that all of my dreams have come true. I praise God for you, for all your love and constant friendship. I know that our love is heaven sent  and I promise to be here for ever and always. From this day forward, you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. As I have given you my hand to hold, I give you my life to keep.  Intan Juliana 17112012

tied the knot

The Groom with all the best-men Happy boy happy couple current mood : *sigh* Finally, after the very long waiting and preparation since LAST YE AR week, my brother tied the knot with girl of his dream. They held a morning ceremony at Cathedral Church and then thrown a party later that night at Grand Eastern. I was having a blast, yet exhausted, and starved and weary and all! Since I didn't catch enough time to eat something, and were busy buzzing around the ballroom, cos my friends were all there and I've some duties to do. Well, now the party's over and it's time to "renew" the life. Cos life will never be the same. Brother, sister, I hope your love will last forever, no more assault, no more violence, just PEACE. Don't ever lean on to someone else, cos since yesterday, two became ONE. Just like the priest said, you both have to received each other the way they are, and blend each personality as one. Married life isn't going to be easy (LIKE I KNOW.L...
