Balinese Hindu oferring on my daughter birthday ceremony
Taken with Olympus on August 2007
PS. Religion as it is practiced in Bali is a composite belief system that embraces not only theology, philosophy, and mythology, but ancestor worship, animism and magic. It is supposed to pervade every aspect of traditional life.

 Jakarta, January 23rd 2008
Its Daniel's Birthday today .... we are so honored that he's celebrating his special day here in Jakarta with us.
Knocked-on their door at 8 am in this morning, Ariel brought the noise maker (baby tin shaker), I brought the cup-cakes with candles and Miguel in-charge of the video, a little morning surprise for Dani .. he blow his B'day candles with Ariel, open presents and cup-cakes was our breakfast *grin* Unfortunately I deleted all the pictures from my camera, small accident from my side but Ani took some pictures too .. will get the copy from her tomorrow, the cup-cakes picture here were taken last night after I made them. Afterwards Miguel goes to work and we went to Ariel's school.
Lunch was at FJ'L .. Ani & Dani love the food & the ambience while Ariel fast asleep on my lap ... tired after school day. For dinner we took them to a nice Indonesian Restaurant, Lara Djonggrang in Menteng area, one of our favorite in town. They enjoyed it too (lucky us) Miguel has a little surprise during dinner, the staff of the restaurant were approaching our table with a loud Gong singing Happy Birthday and brought the cake, for a moment Ani & Dani was wondering what's going on *smile*
Such a precious moments for all of us (still upset that I don't have the pictures of Dani & Ariel blowing the candles from this morning) not every year we can celebrate his birthday together like this, mostly done via long distance telephone call .. Feliz Cumpleaños, Abu, wishing you all the best.
  
 We are soooooo HAPPY, after counting our sleeps for so many nights, the big day is finally on .. Miguel's parents arriving here safe and sound yesterday afternoon. We're thrill to see how fast Ariel getting close to them and excitedly calling them all the time "Abue, look !!! Abu, look !!!" she play, dance and play some more with them,
such a wonderful moments.
Looking forward for 7 more days of togetherness, filled with joy and happiness.
To all our family in Buenos Aires, Vancouver, New Jersey and Bali,
wish you were here, miss you all sooo very much.
Saludos desde Jakarta, muchos besos y hablamos pronto.
