My Favourite Feeling

I was cleaning my photos when Mr.Odd suddenly mentioned some places where we could stay in Bali next year. I was surprised that he thought about it already, since it is still a long time for me lol. But I know he is an advance planner.

Last year, before our long stay in Bali, he read lots of books about living nomad and outdoor living. He prepared the outdoor tools, he changed his clothes to hikers' outfits with lighter weight, higher quality and better durability. He even weighed the clothes and all of our backpacks (learning from the climbers), to make sure that we only bring the necessities and that our baggage won't slow us or weighed us down.

And it made me smile, noticing how he pays attention and prioritize what's comfortable for me.

Love is weird and marriage could be tough, sometimes. If you ask me like few months ago, I would rather go alone cause we were arguing a lot about small things. Both of us are first-born, and although we are a good team, we are also very competitive individuals. When we argue, we don't blame each other, but we do compete on providing the best way and the most advanced arguments to back up our opinions lol. So it's like; it wasn't 'your fault', it's just 'your solution lame' or 'I'm smarter / cooler than you, follow my way' - while doing a winning dance. Lol. And trust me, that's a hell lot annoying when done in real. 🤣

Fast forward few months, and here we are; enjoying each others companion more than ever. We laughed hard a lot lately. We keep joking and teasing each other in a funny but slightly annoying ways. Well, in my defense, smart minds understand the sexiness of sarcasm. Lol.

And yes, I think one of my favourite feelings is when I laughed with him and realizing half way through how much I enjoy his existence, and how blessed we actually are. But try to ask me again in few month, maybe I'll change my answer again 🤣.

Oh btw, while cleaning my photos, we both got nostalgic when we saw the old photos, and we decided to make highlights of the years lol. My story might will be busy in the near future with some old memories that we wanna keep lol.

Cleaning old photos is a good way to evoke great memories.

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?"

Freedom

Freedom is never cheap, but just like everything else in the world; there is always a price to pay to have it. The question is never about "How much?". Instead, it is always a matter of "Are you willing to pay the price for it?" --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. - ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting my intention through owning my artworks , reading my writings , and following my Instagram .

Bento Box

So, the last two weeks was actually a test and trial period for me. I've eliminated fried food almost half year, but intrigued to know whether there is a difference between fried food at home VS fried food at good restaurant chain VS fried food at street hawkers, on my cholesterol level. The result on me was; yes there is a HUGE difference between them. My cholesterol level was barely affected when I do pan fry (not deep fry) at home with olive oil (146/200) VS raised a little when I ate fried food at a good restaurant chain (165/200) VS a huge spike when I ate fried food at street hawkers (211/200). So, clearly the oil that we use, how many times it was being used, and how we cook, matters. I also got insights on my uric acid level. While my cholesterol level wasn't affected much, my uric acid level is a completely different story. My uric acid raised almost 0.5 - 0.8 points every time I dine out, even when I didn't eat red meat/ high purine food. My guess was; either the ...
