When destiny meets choice
Hi there ladies!
It has been over a year since I post anything on this blog. Well, today is a special day so I do need to post it here as well.
Let me take you back in time. In the very first posting on my main blog dated 27 September 2005, I said,"... being a model, for me is a temporary thing. I ultimately want to be a mother. I want the simple things like having a family and kids... lots of them."
I continued, "In life, sometimes you have to make a choice. I do not believe it is possible for me to be an international model and be a good mother at the same time....I will take this modeling career as far as it can get me, before I say 'I do' to man I love. When that day comes.. I will be the most loving wife any man can have. By choice... modeling will ceased being a priority in my life."
Well guys, one year ago today -April 1st 2006- I have made my choice and I said "I do" to man that is now my husband. I have found him. The one I can love and hate at the same time. The one that can make me laugh and cry with the same breath. The one that is going to be the father of my children. Most of all, I have found the man that is my imam. In short, I have found my destiny.
His name is Andy.
I have come full circle and there is certain irony to this whole process. I went away to a far away land to find existence within an industry just to find an existence in life and not career or any industry for that matter. The existence I was looking for was here all along. Not in career, but in life itself.
I have traveled the world and seeing it with a pair of hungry eyes. But I could not FEEL the world until I closed my eyes. I found the answer when I was actually not looking. It's a process.
So dear bloggers, everything I went through in life is now captured in a book called Tiara Lestari: Uncut Stories. I worked together with a writer named Windy. She is not just nice, but also very good in transforming my blog, thoughts and my writing into a book with a different style.
Today, the same day as my one year wedding anniversary, I am launching this book. For those who live in Jakarta, I would like to invite you to come to Brake Cafe, Citos, 3pm, today (Sunday, April 1st 2007)
This world is full of surprises. Including my decision to get married last year. In the process of writing this book with me, Windy asked Andy about his definition of marriage. Andy answered, "Marriage is when destiny meets choice."
When destiny meets choice. I could not agree more.
