Wedding Anniversary and Bad News

Last Saturday (July 14^th) is our 10^th wedding anniversary. We didn’t make any celebration; even in the night we visited an obstetrician to evaluate my latest condition. Until our ten years marriage, it’s still hard for me to get pregnant. Please don’t laugh at me, but actually I never like visiting an obstetrician. I had USG twice that night; the doctor said that she didn’t see any cyst in my ovarium anymore, but unfortunately she suspected a tumor in my uterus. Since she couldn’t yet make an accurate diagnosis, I must undergo further examination. It’s surely not good news in our wedding anniversary day. We postpone the next doctor consultation until next week, as I get my period (sorry) this week.

Anyway, for Blue Monday, I want to share our blue wedding dress. Blue and golden yellow was our wedding theme. 

I also found a perfect poem:

When You Found Each Other

When you two found each other,
you gained the finest prize:
a companion to share life’s joys,
a friend who lightens burdens,
whose company is always a comfort.
When you found each other,
you embraced the love you had dreamed of,
the source of endless pleasure
and memories to treasure.
May your anniversary remind you
of how precious that day was,
when you found each other.

Ring-tailed Lemur (Lemur Catta)

They are the most familiar lemur that caused by their long, black and white ringed tails. Like all lemurs; they are endemic to the island of Madagascar. The critter is diurnal, being active exclusively in daylight hours. Lemurs like to sit facing the sun to warm themselves in the mornings. It’s a pity I don’t have a sun bathing shot (source:Wikipedia).

Aren’t they cute? Captured at the Ragunan Zoo (Jakarta, Indonesia), they looked healthy and lazy :)

A Traditional Ceremony

My brother who lives in another town came last Friday night.  I’m so happy for him; he has job promotion yet should be moved to the capital city (Jakarta, Indonesia). He doesn’t plan to ask his children and wife to move along, as his office gives him a week off after three weeks work.

On Saturday afternoon, we (my brother, hubby and I) visited my father’s and mother’s graves. On Sunday, we attended a family occasion that threw by an aunt. You may call it a baby shower celebration that held one to two months before the baby is born.

My brother, hubby and cousins

Last Sunday, my aunt and uncle had their daughter’s nujuh bulanan, a traditional prenatal ceremony held during the seventh month of a woman’s first pregnancy. The mother-to-be is wrapped in seven layers of batik fabric or dress and doused with water –by her parents and other senior relatives- to wish her good tidings. Every one prayed for the safety of her pregnancy and babybirth.

Waste Not, Want Not - Changing Your Family's Food Waste Habits, One Generation at a Time

/image:paystolivegreen.com/

In 2010, approximately 13 percent of the world’s population was hungry—and by hungry, I don’t mean, “I can’t wait for dinner, I’m starving!” No, these 925 million people across the world were without food and may not have had a meal for several days. At the same time, over 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year, globally. While not wasting food in your home probably won’t help to feed a hungry family across the globe tonight, a little perspective certainly gets the point across. Awareness and efforts to stop food waste can help to conserve our resources and improve our environment. One big step toward a less wasteful future is to teach our children to not waste food. When people are raised a certain way, they generally maintain those practices for the rest of their lives and pass the same habits to their children. Your efforts with your children could help to conserve food and waste for generations to come.

Education
If you tell your child they can’t do something, they generally don’t understand why. They end up thinking you’re just being mean because you can be. Take the time to explain to your children the value of food. Tell them about the families who go to bed with nothing to eat. Explain to them that wasting our food is harmful to the environment. Not only does food waste go to the landfill, but the excess packaging is tossed as well. Giving your child a reason for your actions will go a long way toward earning their cooperation.

Meal Time

Children are often picky eaters. If you son or daughter absolutely hates green beans, don’t expect that to change. Serve them an alternate vegetable that they will eat instead. Don’t expect a miracle. Some compromise will need to be made. When filling their plate, serve small portions. If they want seconds, that’s fine, but smaller portions will cut down on leftovers at the end of a meal.

Yep, You Too

Lead by example. Your children can be hard to convince sometimes; however, explaining the reasoning behind your decision and holding yourself to the same standards will earn points towards full cooperation. Children will always follow your example, especially when you don’t want them to.

Nobody’s Perfect

No matter how hard you try, there will be leftovers. Whether there’s a hunk of meatloaf on your plate that you simply can’t finish or an entire bowl of pasta that no one touched, waste is waste. Teach your children the importance of storing and reusing leftovers. Try having leftovers for dinner, one night a week.

Your family’s efforts might not make a very large dent in the big picture. However, teaching your children the value of food and the consequences of waste will help ensure a better future. Several generations down the road, your descendants will know the importance of limiting their waste and protecting the environment. Think of the impact if even a small percentage of the population changed the waste habits of their future generations.
