AXIOO

We just had a baby shower for one of our dearest friends, Shelvia & Doni last weekend. After a year of marriage, the happy couple decided to venture into the next level of their relationship into parenthood. They are expecting a little baby girl this summer.

Somewhere towards the end of the shower, as our expecting friends opened the baby gifts, we got to talking about our hopes and wishes for the little one as well as some noteworthy advices from friends who have already jumped into the parenting wagon before them.

The month of April is a roller coaster ride for me. Moments of waiting and expecting.

I'm in Jakarta for the last month of our second baby pregnancy, not scheduling any photo shoots or trips. It's a precious time I had with my uber cute preggie wife, Helen and with Zoe. We are expecting for Lilo. Lilo is one of the beautiful surprise gift from God. We didn't think or plan of having our second baby this fast. But we are glad that we did. Now we're blessed with two beautiful princesses, and I am very excited with what God is doing in our family.

I am writing on my tenth-row-seat on a flight from Jakarta to Bali, the last trip to Bali before my wedding, to meet with the local vendors.

Because officially 37 days from now, I will no longer be listed as single, but as wife of Mr. Joe Sentoso.

Let me share a little bit about myself.

Currently, I live with my mom. Dad works in Palembang, and my younger siblings are studying in Sydney. We have Kitkat and Hiro, these two lazy-spoiled-shih-tzus are my mom’s gems and they keep us company at home.

“Life is like a box of chocolates…” I heard this the first time in the evergreen movie “Forrest Gump”. I said “Amen” to that statement not because I am a chocolate lover, but I do believe that life is truly like a box of chocolates.

Opening a box of chocolates, you will find various tempting choices: white, dark, sweet, bittersweet. Aren’t they the colors and flavors of life?

A picture is worth a thousand words, there goes the saying. And so does a home. As an interior and product designer, I have a passion for good design. I love functional and modern design. Design is my life and that’s exactly how I see Axioo with photography. The thing we have in common is that both of us work in the creative world, surrounded by beautiful things. I love what I do as in I don’t really feel like I am working when I am working :) That’s one hell of a blessing!

One of the little things that draw our attention when we travel overseas are the electrical outlets in our hotels. If you were to bring a cellphone charger, a hair dryer, a laptop computer or other electronic equipment, you’d have a bit of trouble using them because in different countries such as Singapore, Australia, United States of America and England, all have different types of electrical plugs and different voltages. That is why it is important for you to carry a suitable adaptor that is compatible with the electrical outlets of the country you visit.

I was en route to what felt like the thousandth meeting I had that day, stuck in traffic, sleepy beyond control. My mind drifted off to a cool air-conditioned room and a toddler bed with a handsome little love and a mini ballerina tucked inside. How I wanted to give up everything I had at that moment to snuggle in with them.

DECISION//DECISION
Life is made of countless little decisions. But of course there 3 major decisions, in my opinion, that really defines how our life will become
1. What do you want to be?
2. What do you want to do?
3. Who is the one person you want to spend the rest of your life with?

Happy Sunday everyone :) Here's a little sweet moments captured of Axel playing with David. Looking at these images reminded me of this poem, hope it will warm your heart .....

God Made Dads

God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree
The warmth of a summer sun
The calm of a quiet sea
The generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagle's flight
The joy of a morning in spring
The faith of a mustard seed
The patience of eternity
The depth of a family need
Then God combined these qualities
