CC: Who’s the BOSS in Our Marriage?

I believe that my hubby is my leader. But it doesn’t mean that he is the only one who makes all decision in our marriage. I’m so grateful that we always think as one, as a team.

If my hubby faces some difficulties at work or other problems, he always asks my opinion. Then we discuss it to solve the problem or at least to decide what he should do to handle it. And it happens vice versa.

As a team, we always make every big decision together. Only in big decisions. When it comes to daily matters at home that I can do it by my self, I make decisions without asking his opinion first.

He’s talkative, and I’m quieter. Perhaps other people think that he’s the Boss. But he’s never said and thought that he’s the Boss, and I feel that we both have equal authority and support each other. We are the BOSS!

Penjalin Dam

I visited the dam during my vacation to my husband’s home town. Penjalin Dam is located at the centre of Winduaji Village (Bumiayu, Central Java, Indonesia). Built in 1930 by Netherland colonial government, Penjalin Dam is prepared for irrigation supplying to the Pemali River down below and rice field area.

Local people around use this dam to add their earnings. Some people are catching fish, taking care of floated fish stalls and renting boats while Eid ul-fitr holiday. On my last visit, I saw lots of visitors and activities there, as every Eid ul-fitr celebration; it’s always held the Recreation Week. I have no chance to ride a boat at that time, as then, the rain was falling hard.

4. Your child starts crying easily when you discipline him.

Playing on a Tree

Why are cats better at climbing up trees than climbing down?
When it comes to climbing down, a cat's physical design goes against it. The claws curve in the wrong direction and it has to rely on its weaker, front legs to hold its weight.

Cimu belongs to my neighbor. After several times she needed help to take her down from a tree; now she can climb up and down trees by herself. Her favorite tree is located across our home.

Cats climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Kittens frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to your leg, hehehe. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill. To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture, however, you may wish to purchase a carpeted cat tree for climbing.

CC: What do We Want from Each Other?

We have realized that our partners aren’t perfect ones; as there’s no perfect person. NOBODY’S PERFECT, right? I believe that accepting your partner’s imperfection will make your marriage happier. Too much expectation can annoy your relationship. If your minds are full of thinking on your expectations about how is your partner should be; you’ll often feel disappointed.

So, if you have expectations, don’t hide it in your mind; say it to your partner. But don’t force him to change immediately. It needs process and many times to change one’s habits and personalities. Moreover, you should be ready if in fact, your partner is hard to change or can’t change at all!

Well, here are a little bit of our wants:

What do I want from my hubby?Keeping what we already have had: our strong love; for forever!
I want that in his mind: I’m the one and only woman for him.
I really want him to stop smoking; but it doesn’t happen until now.
Always becomes a loving hubby for me.
Always becomes a funny, smart and full-of-spirit man.
Lessen his jealousy -hehehe.

What does he want from me?Of course, he also wants me to keep our love.
He wants me less stubborn.
He wants me not to leave far from home alone.
Always becomes a supporting and caring wife for him.

A Fish Pond

On our journey back home from visiting uncle’s house in Bandung (West Java, Indonesia), we took a rest to have dinner at a restaurant. There’s a fish pond inside the restaurant. When I was nearing the pond to take pictures, the fish were also nearing me. What a nice view!
