Sharing, pleaseee

Pfffh... this is the feeling of "just in time" kind of thing when I looked in to the calendar, my brain straight away tells me to "quick! post something on your blog, today is the last day of febuary!".

Wondering why? Yes I'm committed trying to at least write something once a month.

Luckily I have something to share to all of you :)

It's all about sharing, probably sharing should be one of the most beautiful word in the world, as so many people use it for a good cause like share the love, share what you have with less fortunate people as donation, and many other nice thing.

Without any anticipation, as a parent I also started to introduce this concept to my 2,5 years daughter a while ago, but something amazing surprisingly came up :D left Arie and I with speechless and freeze moment for a minute.

2 days ago, while drying my hair, I overheard a conversation between Nicole (N) and Arie (A):

A: No Nicole, this is mama's eye-glasses, it's not a toy, okay? Give it to daddy.

N: Nicole borrow pleaseeee (good manner #1)

A: No Nicole, let's play with your toy instead

N: No daddy, i want this

A: This is mama's stuff and it's not for you to play with

...... silent....

N: No daddy! stop! (Arie was trying to grab the thing from Nicole's hand) SHARING daddy! SHARING! wait for daddy's turn! Now Nicole's turn! SHARE, okay! (good manner #2)

***speechless daddy*** then he laughed, realizing how clever his daughter is.

Adult associate sharing as a positive word or a positive attitude, let's see what can we find on google while searching for "sharing definition for kids", my finding resuts is not much different from the adult concept, here's the definition according to kids.net.au

The next question is, what should we do to encounter this kind of situation?

Highlight:

1. she does nothing wrong

2. she shows good manner

3. she's only 2.5 y.o.

... oh well it's not an easy job being a parent...

Location Location Location!

Hahaha it sounds like headline on the property agent's advertisement. Well I've been browsing around some blogs on the net and I always get annoyed when I couldn't find the writer's location.

I don't know why it's always comes as the first question on my mind when reading someone's blog. Maybe location says lots of story of the writer's background? Like I could be more connected with the writing because I can imagine the setting of the story and I can even learn something about culture in the other side of the world.

Maybe.

Or maybe I'm just kepo (busybody). :p <-- this is more likely :D

Tonight I just realised that I also "forget" to put my location on this blog, guilty as charged, I am now let it open to public. To make it even easier and clearer, yes, I live in Sydney, Australia.

oi oi oi mate!

New Year, New Blog

Of course there's a big difference between people who likes to write and people who can actually write. Well I'm probably none of those two categories, I could be considered as "people who wants to write" then.

I remember when I was in elementary school and was always find trouble whenever my literature teacher give us task to write. I simply don't know where to start, but today I'm gonna write. It may sound lame in the beginning, but trust me, I have a point to be addressed.

Do you think people change?

I do.

A wise friend of mine once wrote this on his Facebook status [quoted from Mulyadi Tery FB status]

~ When a man is trying to win the heart of a woman, he studies her. He learns her likes, dislikes, habits and hobbies. But after he wins her heart and marries her, he often stops learning about her. If the amount he studied her before marriage was equal to a high school degree, he should continue to learn about her until he gains a college degree, a master's degree and ultimately a doctorate degree. It is a lifelong journey that draws his heart ever closer to hers - Caleb Holt (Fireproof) ~

Nice huh?!

I believe that is true, and it also works vice versa to the woman.

When we share our life with someone and married him/her for years, we started to think that we know everything about our partner, that could be right, but we shall not forget that people do change, when we stop to learn about the person, we may loose them.

One day, when it's too late, we will look them in the eye and ask "who are you?"

Life is short, yet so fragile, let's fill it with love and no regrets.
