Wisdom Beyond His Years

He is your son…he can sense your feelings…

That’s what my mother told me some months ago and I believe her.

How can a boy who is not even 4 years old, who depends on me to get him his juice, to give him his bath, to feed him, to clothe him and to cuddle him before bed find the wisdom beyond his years? It is truly astonishing.

Our children picked up on our vibes, I’ve read and heard about it but nothing prepare me for what this boy had given me. They will know if you’re troubled. They can sense these things although they may not fully comprehend the truth or the extends of what ever weighing you down.

So when this little boy wiped my tears and said “Smile Mommy…don’t cry” he grinned showing me how to smile then proceed to gave a hug that engulfed me with so much love, I feel like it is me who depends on him.

As much as I try to stay strong for his sake he just knows it…he is part of me, my blood runs inside him.

Don’t cry Mommy…” he said with a smile

And why did it only made me cry even more?

Holding him there I tried to pick myself up, tried to absorb the strength from a little boy. It doesn’t seem fair! I should be his Mommy…it is my duty to wipe his tears, kiss his boo-boo not the other way around.

Yet he does…he kissed my boo-boo. He wiped my tears. He made it all worthwhile.

Thank you, pumpkin! You really are a God’s sent.

If only I’m not such a crybaby Mommy.

With this post I’m letting you know that I had decided to take a short break from blogging so please do excuse my absences on your blogs. Won’t take too long but right now I just need to sort some things. See you when I get back! :)

Photography From A Mom’s Point of View

Growing up I don’t remember our family taking lots of pictures. At least not to the extent that I’ve been snapping pictures of Lil’ A  – which reminds me I have to do something with these mountain of digital pictures. Yes, maybe a few clicks on birthdays or Christmas but nothing that really stood out in my memory. My parents just wasn’t big on taking pictures. So when I was given my Oma (Grandmother) collection of pictures went back as far as 1920s, I instantly knew where this love of photography came from. She took some amazing pictures in her young age. Then in 1992, we lost our house in a fire. At the time we were living in a .....

To kick things up a bit on Tatter Scoops. Please welcome Trias. She’s a friend of mine, a beautiful Indonesian girl living in Los Angeles, California. This how she described herself:  “To me, it’s all about taking chances, it’s about trusting that people were put in life for me to capitalize on the opportunity. I work hard, party harder but study the hardest cuz life is short yet moves so fast. ♥” Don’t you just love that? Please give her some warm love. “Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty, sexy, and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.” (Sex .....

photo credit: mscaprikell In today’s very social world I think I’m not that social after all… Did I catch your attention? If you nod then that’s good! Why don’t you take a sit, while I pour coffee, or tea or whatever you like to drink. Yes, I have enjoyed and savoring the online world a lot in the past decade. Have met and make great friendships along the way too. For the past 10 years I had my share of fantastic meet-ups with people that used to be just pictures and names on the screen. The not-so-cool meet-ups were also part of the trade. Maybe it’s yin and yang…maybe it was just my luck, who knew for sure. But since .....

August almost come to an end, how crazy is that? I haven’t been online much since last week thanks to the nasty cold Lil’ A is having that caused a scary spiking fever for two days in a row. Not only that I think the darn cold made a hit on me too. With a sick toddler and a pounding headache, staying unplugged was the way to go. Anyway here are some updates of our lives besides the darn cold. If you happen to be at one of the 5 stars hotels in Jakarta – you might be seeing this picture. Yep, that’s Lil’ A picture on a banner. His uncle who has been abusing his nephew’s pictures ‘borrowed’ some .....

How Eat, Pray, Love Will Not Ruined Bali

With all the hype of Gilbert’s book turned into movie starring Julia Roberts, I came to read one article on why the book will ruined Bali. As some of you who had read the book or had catches a glimpse of the movie’s trailer, Gilbert did take the Love part to Bali. Personally, I wasn’t very impressed with the book when I first read it 2 years ago. I skipped most part to read the last chapter simply because it have Bali on it. I was biased when I read the book – somewhat turned off after finding out Gilbert already had the book deal under her belt prior to do all these ‘life-changing’ journeys. Alas, it could be one .....
