Celebrating its 7th year birthday, starbucks’ giving half price for its drinks everytime you bring your own tumbler or mug.

You all must know what mug looks like. But tumbler is a term I rarely used myself. But I found out it’s actually the thing I usually brought daily to school as a child, probably during elementary school days. So if you’re wondering the shape of a tumbler, you could just see my picture drinking from it.

When the waiter handed out my order last night, he asked me, “May I know where you bought this tumbler?” I thought he asked because mine is cute and he wanted to buy one. But then he said, “I was just wondering ’cause so many people got this kind of tumbler.” Hahaha.. it’s very ordinary instead and everybody has it.

I’ve always been starbucks’ customer, but since the price is getting higher and higher each day, the frequency of enjoying ones a little bit less often. My favorites are Caramel Macchiato and Blended Green Tea, the cold ones of course. But last night I preferred to get Dark Berry Mocha with whipped cream, just because it was purple!

Anyway, what are you waiting for? You should be hurry bringing your own tumbler or mug now and straight into the nearest outlet, because today is the last offer.

It’s their statement I like: “For seven years, we have poured our heart into it.”

Wonder what they are planning for next year to come.

We went to the first gate we spotted and parked nearby. We found out later that it’s actually the Mother and Baby Hospital. So we had to walk slightly far to the next building where the cardio division located.

By the time we got there it’s already 7 PM and the polyclinic was already closed. The only one open was the ER (emergency room). We were finally allowed to enter and greeted by a green-dressed young lady, in her 30’s of age.

She asked what was wrong and everything. At first, she suggested my hubby to go to the polyclinic in the next morning. She went on explaining to us that in the ER only procedure for emergency cases can be done, and any acts performed only to remove the emergency concern only. In order to have comprehensive result, polyclinic with specialized doctors is where people should go. Besides, the procedure and tests performed in the ER could last for about 6 hours.

My hubby then asked whether he could meet a doctor on duty to have his or her opinion about his case. The lady then said, “I’m the doctor.”

We were surprised and embarrassed ‘cause we’ve addressed her as a nurse! Thank God she’s fine with that. Just remember at RS Harapan Kita, not only the nurses wear the green dresses.

Even though her full name is Omnia.. (but still..)

A new handphone it is! Great phone actually, I was amazed to see her changed direction right away when you just rotate her upside-down, it was just like iphone. Also when you wanted to activate or deactive any application, you could just wipe it off to the side.

When I said about ‘new phone’ I not only mean for my hubby, but I finally changed my five-year old phone. After a long time waiting ’cause the stock always ran out, I finally got one. Not a new one though. I’ve had an eye on the phone my hubby’s been using, Samsung SGH-i780, ’cause with features it holds, the price is very much reasonable. But it’s so rare now.

I then offered my hubby to look for other phone he preferred, so I could buy his. He apparently fell in love with Nia and decided to buy her yesterday. And like I said before, he paid more attention to her rather than me ever since then..

oh well, at least he didn’t bring her to bed.

It was the tenth April. The one that you made my heart melted, then my lips smiled and my eyes brightened. The one that you make me feel so grateful for being a wife of a wonderful husband like you.

I remember one night when we were in bed trying to sleep, he then said, “I couldn’t sleep..”

Right after he said it, I was thinking that we could talk all night long about everything that we haven’t got a chance to talked about, to share our dreams and to laugh at our memories together or else. But by the time I said, “then let’s talk!”, he said “but we have to sleep…”

We laughed. It was really funny how we thought that we have known each other so well, but we even contradict in just about a simple case.

Building a relationship is a never-ending task in life. When you thought you know him inside-out, you’re actually far from it.

A relationship is just like faith. First, the feeling must occur in the deepest heart. If you love him, you would feel the love in your heart. This means when you see him, or even when you are only picturing his face or his smile or his laugh or his smell or even his silhouette, you would feel something pleasant in your chest. You just feel it. Loving him.

However, simply to feel is not enough. Like faith, after the presence of the feeling of love, it must be declared sincerely with your lips, and definitely a must to have it revealed through your gesture and act.

Throw your ego of wanted to be loved and cared away, give yours unconditionally instead. Believe me. It works. At least for us.

Ten years it is. I love him even more each year.
