Ever since he started standing and walking (with help) last month, K has been constantly on the move. He rarely stays still and already has a few favorite spots around the house: the makeup table, ou…
I have to admit that keeping up with writing about K’s milestones has felt a little harder this month. Time seems to be moving incredibly fast, work has been getting busier, and I’ve been trying my b…
For the first time in my traveling life, I’ve never felt as nervous as I did traveling with a baby. I think it’s almost the same as when I used to travel solo (in a completely different way, of cours…
Lately, I’ve been noticing how much you’ve changed, almost without me realizing it. Except for your first word, "Baba", which is obviously not me. But since your face looks so much like min…
You are six months today, and somehow I can't remember life before you. Just like the months before, there are things to celebrate. Your first two teeth, the ones on the bottom, appeared. You had…
K just turned five months, and I never related to the saying “It takes a village to raise a child” as deeply as I did this past month. It was both the hardest and the most heartwarming month for me t…
K is officially 4 months old today. Some people say that when babies reach 3 months, life gets easier for parents. But we can’t fully agree with that. For us, the past month has been the second most …
You are three months old today, and I’ve lost track of the days and weekends because everything went by so fast. Maybe that’s why I’ve started to feel conflicted; torn between I'm excited to see …

Today is the day K turns one month old.
I won’t say, “Time flies so fast,” but instead, “It feels like it’s already been three months”— and I really mean that, without exaggeration. It’s strange, thou…

I think it started back in college when I developed the habit of reflecting on everything I experienced throughout the year and writing it down as an end-of-year self-note. It wasn’t something I did …
A while ago, a reader of my blog reached out and asked for permission to replicate my series, "Reproduction of Happiness (ROH)," on her own blog. She mentioned how much she loved the posts …
Recently, I came across a post from one of my friends that resonated with me: Being the people who have common sense is not a gift but a punishment because they need to deal with those who don't …
Just as there is good chemistry between one person and another, there is also bad chemistry. It's okay to acknowledge that certain people may not resonate with us, without delving into the detail…
Do you think Jakarta has gotten any better over the past ten years?, suddenly the question popped into my mind when we were on our way to get lunch somewhere in Blok M. He then answered 'yes'…
