I really had a great time in Bali :) and I really need to thank my parents for this vacation. It's a great time that I can spend time not only with my family, but also with Paul. I don't believe in traveling only with boyfriend, so I'm very happy that I can travel with him AND my family :)
My mom is the first person who woke up in the morning even during vacation.
Yes, there's no holiday for mothers, and I experienced it again during my vacation. I felt a biit guilty that I don't think I help my mom a lot (well, the most I did was washing dishes and cooking Indomie). My mom was the one preparing tea and bread for Paul!
After the trip, while everyone can take shower peacefully and sleep, my mom needed to handle all the laundry because we would leave for another road trip for our pilgrimage the following day after Bali trip.Well, now I understand why the mommies blogs keep talking about laundry. My mom only has me, my dad, and my brother, but that night she needed to handle the laundry of 5 day-trip. My job was to hang all the clothes up there and as I was hanging them one by one, I was like, "wew...this is a lot!'
During the road trip, sometimes my mom needed to keep awake even though she's very sleepy too because she needed to keep my dad, who took turn driving with my brother, awake. While me? Urgh, I dozed off very fast once the engine started.
Thanks, Mom!
There are lots of things that I need to start learning now. I only need to care about my own laundry now and my own room. Recently, my boyfriend and I have been having discussion about 'appearance'. My default hairstyle is messy hair and my fashion is 'Monday to Friday just be normal, then dress up on weekends'. I find it very difficult to take care of myself (even though it's firstly for myself!!), so now that I look at what my mom has been doing, I am kinda reminded that I really need to wake up. This is my responsibility now, this is a step of practicing the faithfulness to my vocation, not only to run here and there organizing events or meeting friends to talk about God bla bla bla, but also taking care of the little things that will make myself better and make my boyfriend feel loved too at the same time.
My mom, even long before I am attached, had reminded me that I need to take care of myself. Every girl needs to take care of herself. She has to take care of herself too even though she's married my dad for almost 25 years. Citing my friend, wife or girlfriend's ability to look beautiful and well-groomed is the guy's self-esteem too. =P
I guess love is really in the little things :)
