James Blunt was amazingly talented, super cute and full of energy !!!
He opened the concert with ‘Give Me Some Love’ ... all of us were dancing the night away totally entertained by him. Between each song he changed his guitar or move to the piano, jamming with the band member .. even climbed up to one set of speakers and jump down ... pheewww, crazy guy !!!
I'm sooooo HAPPY that I could watch him performing live here in Jakarta,thanks to my Hubby & Ariel. Thoughtful idea for Mother's Day gift, it was an hour and a half pure indulgence (^_^)
PS. Brought only pocket Olympus Mju to the concert, can't produce good quality photos, sorry guys.
PPS. A tiny version of video that posted here were recorded with the aforementioned Olympus, the result was actually not bad at all but I don't want to spend hours downloading it on a Saturday night so I have to compressed it, enjoy.
Cupcake is individual size cake that good looking and yummy at the same time, its been my passion since my daughter 2nd b'day (my first cupcakes making debut) and now its available for you to order.
Had a FANTASTIC time in Singapore, was great to go to a familiar place and introducing lots of 'new' experience to Ariel. She was an angel during the flights, a great sport during our endless outdoor walking (and shopping) eat very well (tried Indian food too) and social bubbly girl with our friends and their children, she had a BLAST *smile*
Above pictures are some of our 'favorites' during this short weekend trip, from the clear blue sky (picture taken at Changi airport, 15 minutes after we landed) fast Mono Rail Train (Ariel's favourite part obviously), yummy Food (Chicken Rice, roasted & steamed) and the best CALAMANSI juice in can !!!
More pictures to follow later, must run and do my errands now, I'm sorry if I miss all your wonderful posting on MP but I will catch- up for sure, take care everyone (^_^)
How fast the time goes, 9 days past sooooo quickly (snif).
We sent Ani & Dani first thing in the morning to the airport yesterday (Jan 29th) and I've been dreading myself to uploading all these pictures here since I know I'm gonna be sad (snif). Anyway, hope to see them again in Summer (oh, sooo looking forward to it !!!) and these are some pictures from hundreds that Miguel & I took during the time they are here, like the quotes that we saw in Cimory
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.
Miguel told me couple weeks ago that he has a surprise for me for my upcoming B'day and this is IT. Ater hearing his endless story about Argentina (his close knitted family, beautiful places and the GOOD food) I will be breathing the FINE AIR (Buenos Aires) soon :)
Our Arielita will have to endure the long haul flight (Jakarta - KL- Johannesburg - Capetown - Buenos Aires) and return, she is soooo lucky to travel the world at such a young age.
A month ago he told me that he will run the *Terry Fox Run 10K this year, the last time we joined this charity event was 4 years ago when Miguel and I walked the 10K Terry Fox Run in Bali (it was a tough one, the first 2K was on the beach !!).
He was committed and start going to the gym 3 times a week, this morning we met up with some friends there, 7 AM on the dot the run started, off they all go wih smile in their faces. Maureen & I went to the 5K point with the car, got there in time to see Carlos (first) & Miguel,pretty much 20 mins after they went off from the Start line, impressive !
Then we went back to Finish line, waiting for them to arrive, Carlo hit the finish line first (45 mins, cool isn't it) then Miguel followed 15 minutes later. He's in pain (his right knee hurting him a lot) but in a very good spirit, HE MADE IT !!!
PS. *Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox, CC (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer treatment activist. He became famous for the Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run to raise money for cancer research, running with one prosthetic leg. He is considered one of Canada's greatest heroes of the 20th century and is celebrated internationally every September as people participate in the Terry Fox Run, the world's largest one-day fund raiser for cancer research.
My friend Ana yeberkoben is expecting her first baby girl next week,Doctor prediction is the 26th of July. The last couple of weeks (or more) she's been suferring carpal tunnel syndrome (conditions that I also suferred when I was pregnant with Ariel) also swollen hand and feet, she has to go for therapy almost every day to ease the pain even getting low dose of steroid injection once a week, poor girl. Can't see her since she's in S'pore (to give birth) since June and won't be back to Jakarta until the baby couple weeks old... we all missed you terribly,Ana.... wondering how you looks like by now ;-)
Stay strong, my friend.. a couple more days to go. When you held your babygirl in your arms you will experience the true meaning of love - unconditional, total, complete surrender to her every need. My suggestion, make the most of every moment of those first months - they will never come again.
Below pictures are taken 2 days before she left Jkt, she was 31 weeks preggy, her face is glowing !!! May God bless you with painless & easy delivery,our thoughts and prayer for you. We are looking forward to meeting Baby Abbey in person soon.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, by chance or nature's changing course untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
