Being In Love

C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity wrote,

“Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all....In fact, the state of being in love usually does not last....But of course ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love...is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask and receive from God....They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be ‘in love’ with someone else. ‘Being in love’ first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enable them to keep their promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it.”

MY THOUGHT

For me being in love means bring myself under the commitment.. so even feeling can be easily fade away, the essence of love remain forever..

I'm Back after almost 2 years

Just couldn't believe it..its almost 2 years since the last time i post in here.. Ethan has a brother already !!! YEAAAhhh.. and his name is CALVIN BENJAMIN SUKAMTO..and guess what .. he is 1 year old already :) Having 2 boys is making my life so much full of joy and energy. No wonder i lost my extra weight very fast without go on diet ..so good. Ethan already going to preschool near home. He's progressing fast on being independent. But still very slow on speaking properly but its okay..he still my beloved naughty little ethan. He likes to tease his brother his own way.But since i gave him time out several time after got his brother cry, now everytime Calvin cry near him, he suddenly run away of hide behind the couch or wall..afraid i might get angry eventhough its not his fault.. hahaha.. Now he has another trick, when i'm about to get mad he put his hand through my head and say *sayang mommy..sayang mommy* ...and it works.. sigh.. Calvin is another little on...
