The Tales of Infinity

Your Love Style is Agape

You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner. Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare. You are willing to sacrfice your world for your sweetie. Except it doesn’t really feel like sacrifice to you. For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love.

What’s Your Love Style?

current mood: swing

current time: 1.32am

i’ve been waiting waiting waiting for my hun to come online.. he’s in bali for hpm tour and will be back next week. i’ve told him not to fall in love with the island, which i believe he is already since he has forgotten about his gurlfren who has been waiting for him for two days by now.

ah my luv, if you happen to read my blog, yessss i have waited in despairs for ya!! i stayed up til 3.30 last nite and woke up at 7 am cos i was worried that you’d be online.. kamu kemana sihhh?? ayyyy, sometimes it’s really hard ya buat ngga nagging and being rese.. hehehe. but i guess for the sake of your relaxing moment, i’ll try to understand kali yahh. just promise that you’ll bring just too many oleh oleh for me, will ya?

anyhow, if you wonder why i pasang my pic here it’s becos i just re-installed my web cam and try to snap some pics, talking about narcissism yah, here’s one of pic that shows my current mood. =) you know what, back then i used to say “out of 365 days, 360 would be delightful, 5 would be bad days”, but now that im getting older , more mature yah people say =), these delightful days has seemed to decrease in number, and the bad days has taken more places now, huh. thus, my niu resolution for the month of august is to get my 360 days back in place since i’ve just learned that to be/not to be happy is a self-choice. therefore, every grumpy people outhere, be happy, and count your blessing!!!

I’ve been counting days for the past two weeks to celebrate our 3 years anniversary on august 17. today, as i logged in to msn and changed my msn screen shout out to “2 days to 3 yrs”, i realize that i have never written anything about my cerita cinta on my blog entry. hahaha. i have tried to write about him, but true, Love is indeed: indescribable!! in fact, all of these trials akhirnya mentok cuma jadi unfinished drafts. so, today is my tenth attempt to translate a state of mind, compassion, affection, and feeling into words (read: published blog). =) and you, wish me luck.

let’s start with creating a nick name for him.. what name will suit a man who is so rough, mysterious, and cold from the outside, but yet very romantic, tender, and loving inside. A man who is so gifted with infinity talents, is a music producer, arranger, song writer, composer, teacher, pianist, is very tall, tanned skin, and for the foremost: love God so much. im thinking of calling him: mr. incredible. how does that sound?

the encounter: Atlanta, Georgia — October 11, 2003

that night, william picked me up from my working place.. as soon as i opened his car’s door, he said “you just missed one very cool event: hpm music training.” i was smiling. he continued, “i think they’re still practicing for tomorrow’s concert. you wanna see?” it was eleven pm, “i think i’ll pass” i said. “you sure? i think everybody is still at church, watching them practicing.”

“hmm, sure then.”

and i never know that my subtle whisper “sure” would change my life..

as i entered the church, 5 girls were running towards me.. “ci etephhhh, you miss it!! whyy?” i was curious, “was it really that good?” they giggled, no answer to my question but, “koko yang maen keyboard ciiii!!!cakep yah??” hahaha..

“yang mana?”
i saw a man standing, playing keyboard, my heart beat faster.. and i heard someone whispered, “He is for you.” i was smiling, “ada ada aja.” ignored the voice within.. “i dont even know him.”

i was chatting with the girls, when the pastor and musicians greeted me, “hallo, namanya siapa?”

i didn’t see the guy on the keyboard, i looked up, he was still on the stage.. playing keyboard. The pastor called him down, as if he was able to read my thought. “kamu uda kenalan?”

he walked towards me, i saw him closer.. he handed his hand, shook my hand, and said his name without even looking at my eyes. he left before i said my name. “keterlaluan banget yah? sombong abis. nge bete in amat!! beda sama the rest of the team yang super friendly.”

the day of the concert:

i was not able to concentrate. i didn’t know why. there’s something about mr. incredible that made me want to look at him over and over again. “jaim donkkk!!” i shouted to my self. i looked at him again, and this time, he was looking at me. i tried so hard not to look at him again, but i failed. In one minute, i felt the need to look at him again, mr. incredible was smiling at me. i was head over heels.. my heart beat uncontrollable.

after the concert, i was sitting on the chair at the church, viewing pictures that i took during the concert when i heard someone called my name, “stefannie?”

i looked back, mr. incredible was standing behind me. “HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME????” yes, i was too GR. “your badge tuh.” dooooooh!!! i was wearing “event coordinator” badge segede buta with my name on it. [moral of the story: jangan GR dulu sebelom liat liat!] hehehe.

the story continued from the day onward.. we exchanged each other’s e-mail, text messaging, phone calls, jakarta – atlanta. it seemed so close.

the second encounter:

Jakarta, May 16 2004

you wont believe how nervous i was as soon as my plane touched down in jakarta. we were planning to meet for lunch at Taman Anggrek Mall with my family, sisca, and my bible study teacher. abis gimana donk, my parents juga wanted to see the daughter after a year, and insisted buat jemput di airport. so, lunch di barengin semuanya, it is!!

i didn’t touch the food at all, and so did mr. incredible. we were in this incredible situation, with a strong aura that pulled each other like a magnet.

before i went home he said, “minta permission sama mami kamu yah, i want to talk to you sebentar.”

so we went to a cafe, sat down. out of the blue, he handed something to my hand. it was a ring holder.. i opened it slowly, and found it empty. mr. incredible took my hand and slipped a diamond ring to my fourth finger.

sleepless in bandung:

august 17th 2004

it was three days upon my departure to atlanta.. my parents were off to singapore, and he was there with me at the living room at 2 am. he went downstair and came back with this huge bag.. and said,

“do you know one thing? you’re the most beautiful bidadari i know.”

hahahaha. pinter gombal yahh? sejak kapan?

he smiled. “i have given you everything, but there is something that i have not give to you. do you know what that is?”

i think.. think.. think, and i said.. “your heart.”

he smiled and pulled this pink heart pillow from the bag, “this is my heart. aku mau kasih buat kamu.”

and i cried.

today:

san francisco — august 15, 2007

thinking of the good things that happened in the past, in the present day, and in the future. we’ve been through so much ups and downs, uncountable laughs and tears, and so many precious moments. ahhh, it’s just two more days.. and we will be three years together.

Dedicated to my mr. incredible: happy early 3 yrs anniversary, my luv!!

i’m just too far from where you are..

I wanna go home..

[Buble - Home]

the concept of “home” is compared to the human need for peaceful sanctuary and the absence of it thus leading to restlessness. [wikipedia]

lately I’ve been wondering.. sebenernya where is my home? well, actually.. my definition of home is not merely “where you were born”, my definition of home is a place where you always want to come back anytime, a place that you miss days and nights, a place where the memories that were left keep on pulling you back, where you just simply love it, where you feel belong, where i feel comfortable being. truly, if that is a definition of home.. Atlanta is my home.. yes, i definitely left my peaceful heart in Atlanta.

super super super kangennnn deh sama atlanta. It is truly the best place to live, to eat, to study, to hang out, especially: to have fun!!!

I miss every single moment i had, i miss the city, i miss my church, and especially my beloved friends!!!

atlanta, the city:

orang orang suka nanya, “is it the capital city of Greece?” Dohhhh!! that’s athens!! hahaha. atlanta is one of the biggest city in the US.. it’s the capital and the most populous city of the state of Georgia. Atlanta is somewhat similar to LA in terms of jalan nya yang guedeeee” abisss.. the differences are atlanta ngga semacet LA, veryyyyyy clean, and surrounded by hutan pinus. Atlanta is considered “the most heavily forested urban area in the country” (forest service). To me, the weather is great, you have a sunny summer, perfect weather on spring and fall, a cold winter with snow about once a month (fyi, they close the schools and offices klo snow!!). One great thing about atlanta is the food. I gained 12 kilosss in three months! Atlanta offers thousands of sushi places, thousands of bennihanna style restaurants, fine dining places, to the infamous waffle house, and not to forget — batavia (they have the best rendang and gepukkk!!!) True, the city isnt as packed as SF, ngga se-banyak SF hang out places nya, but believe me, once you live there you will never want to move anywhere. The houses and apartments are beautifully designed, masih baru baru bangettt and super big, and the best thing is the price rate for the apt is about half price of SF’s apt!

Atlanta, My beloved friends:
