tomorrow

{ one endless loop-track for the last oh so many months. }

a fine fine fine day

Last month's twenty-first was the first time I see a red-cheeked glowing slow-moving Yola with a fat tummy. Yola the killer is seven months knocked-up!

Last month's twenty-first was full with omelets and pastas and pastries and fries and Ipit's mom's famous bacang and mohyang and never-ending sweets more than we thought we could finish.

Last month's twenty-first was kinda officially a reunion for our gang since we were all there, the five of us, after a long long long time.

Last month's twenty-first was spent with my beautiful pregnant best friend who used to sleep over with her disco night-lamp watching Friends after our Indomie dinner with her favorite Teh Botol in her hands. { ...and now with baby stuff in her hands...unbelievable! }

Last month's twenty-first was surely a fine fine fine day!


{ Yola is madly in love with Emily The Strange. Yasser and I ordered these cupcakes from Hernov. }



{ the Pa and Ma to be, trying out our present, the baby monitor with music player and image projector. }



{ messages from all the aunties while the Ma is busy chocolating her teeth with a cupcake. }



{ bookmark set I designed for the guests' souvenir, with three of Yola's drawings, and two of mine. }


Pictures from Yola and Iyan's documentation.

It's December already near Christmas already where I miss you the most Papi!
Always a milky delight to look at these old pictures that you took, that reminds me of how I am your beloved daughter, and how you are my first best friend, and how proud I'll always be to be a part of someone as kind as you. <3
