TWO is better than ONE

97485-13-two-become-one

As we grow in our RELATIONSHIP, we are indelibly marked by experiences - both GOOD and BAD - that happen to us. Continuing the journey to a marriage can be sources of Great Joy or sources of Deep Pain.

As beginning of a discovery of God's wonderful plan for our life now, we are sharing these lessons from what we've experience and what we've learned.

Hope it will always remind us that 'Two is better than one'

Our Love Verse

love-heart-cloud


The love we share today shines 

from sunrise to sunrise, 

growing brighter year to year 

as we share our lives.

 

The Five Love Languages

1. Words of Affirmation

This is the giving of verbal compliments and words of appreciation. We all need this, but to someone whose love language is words of affirmation, it is especially vital. Without these spoken words, such a person will feel unappreciated, isolated, and distant. When affirming words are regularly given, however, he feels loved, appreciated, and connected.

Our favourites: 
Say 'I Love You' when Yuli wakes up in the morning
Text Agus 'I Miss You' when he is working



2. Quality Time

This is the giving of totally undistracted conversation that centers not only on the news/weather level, but also on the feelings/symphaty level. It means focusing your undivided attention on your spouse, hearing what he is saying, and understanding the meaning behind the words. It means sharing hopes, dreams, fears and concerns. Quality time tells a person that he is important, and during that time, nothing matters as much as he does.

Our favourites:
Jogging with Yuli at evening after office and chatting about everthing had happenned in office today
Walking home-nearby with Agus at night to get fresh air and listening about his feeling


3. Receiving Gift

Gifts are tangible expressions of love that a person can hold in his hand that convey the message that someone was thinking about him. These do not have to be expensive, store-bought gifts. In fact, sometimes the simplest gifts have the most meaning (roadside flowers, a humorous card, a special treat). To the person who craves this love language, the gift says that he is special, thought of, and appreciated.

Our favourites:
Suprise Yuli by buying favourite food, e.g. Sushi
Suprise Agus by treating a new t-shirt
 

4. Acts of Serving

This love language include the practical serving of another family member's needs and problems. To some peoples, acts such as mowing the grass, taking out the garbage, vacuuming, or bathing the children speak volumes of concern to them. They are thrilled beyond measure when their spouse or children pitch in and help them, serving them through practical demonstrations of love.

Our favourites:
Cook some food while Yuli or Agus has nap during weekend


5. Physical Touch

Physical thouch implies caring and affection and can sometimes communicate more effectivelly than words. We all need it to varying degrees, but it is especially important to someone who grew up in a 'touching' family. Physical touch can includes the sexual relationship, but is by no means restriced to it.

Cooking is one of the moment of us together

Chef Yuli

Yuli is the chef at our kitchen who always creates and prepares the recipe. Every single ingredient is in her mind. She even know the taste of her cooking so unnecessary to taste the food before it's served - unbelieveble ability. 

Beside that, she also buys the food supplies and cooking equipment also keeps records of the supplies. She has taken care the kitchen and Agus very well.

Amazing what she has done with Agus's weight which has increased 15 Kgs in five months only. This has also made Agus more falling in love to her - sarang e o yuli. 

Without going to culinary school, she is adept at cooking indonesian and chinese food. By looking at her skills now, she has become a potential serial killer in cooking and could be the next apprentice of Hell's Kitchen when she has the opportunity.


Her cooking is talent but... cooking with LOVE is her passion.

Ass. Chef Agus

1

Agus is Yuli's assistant who cooks the ingredients based on chef's instructions. As a cooking-every-day-assistant, he always be ready and fast enough to prepare the kitchen utensils such as: plate, knife, flame, fryingpan, pot, etc. Apparently, the kitchen is hot, dangerous, competitive, loud and masochist. But because of his strong musle (look at left picture) to stir any cooking, he has become a match and capable chef's partner.

Since join Yuli's kitchen, he has enjoyed a lot of things from learning how to cook until fatting himself. Look at his size now! But he is considered a fast learner which in the end, Yuli has trusted him to make the cooking interesting by arranging and garnishing the food for serving.

Agus's other skills are cleaning the mess, throwing the garbage, washing the dishes, and making up the kitchen.

His speed of managing kitchen stuff is needed to help making Yuli comfort so creating Yuli's delicious cooking.

Facebook Farm Town is Harvesting Most of Our Time

Farm Town

Farm Town is a very exciting game in the Facebook. It is for you to build your own farm with your own design. It was introduced by Yuli alias Lala who had started this game and spent it during her leisure time. When I saw this game, I had no interest at all as the graphic was not 3D objects. But when I tried to suprise Lala by playing this game, it turned me to be addicted and kept playing until now.

When I decided to design my farm, it was an idea to put my name together with my wife's name. With the hay bales, I was patiently adding each of it and finally it was formed to our name 'LALA' and 'AGUS'.

So excited when the guests were saying that this farm it's so cool or nice. It is not only a game but also a great feeling to have own farm with our name and perhaps one day it might be true.

Thank to Facebook Farm Town

Great game...
