[gallery] The only reason why I dont like to wear my wedding ring is because it doesn’t fit my finger anymore as I gained more weights (baca: gendutan :p). While I put it off everytime I take a bath and go to sleep, and often forget to wear it again and even lost it several times due to misplace. I asked hubby to change the size and he showed his wedding ring print on his finger. It’s definitely more bold than mine, as he gained way more weights than me. But never I saw him put off the ring, not even once. I asked him why, he said: “I keep it this way so I can’t lie to anyone that I’m married. Even if I hide the ring, the print of it will stay visible.”
[gallery] When the time to marry my kids has come one day, I would respectfully let them decide how they want it to be. I would not push or suggest them to have a grande wedding ceremony in a spacious ballroom, invite hundreds or thousands people that only a few they really know, shake their hands one by one with a template smile for hours.. unless if they want it that way. I would be more than happy if they wish to have an intimate garden party, inviting only a few close friends & relatives, mingle with them and make sincere laughters.. Or if they simply want to have a travel wedding: travelling anywhere n put the announcement in newspaper/magz that they’re happily married..
[gallery] Diundang ke event Paddle Pop di Dufan sekeluarga. Sejak datang nongkrong di Starbucks sama panitia sampai saat nonton di teater, selalu bareng2 sama bintang tamu. Belakangan baru tau kalau bintang tamunya itu adalah Coboy Junior, group vokal anak yg beranjak remaja, yang ternyata punya fans bejibun! Pantes aja pada histeris lihat penampilan mereka di panggung, sementara kita daritadi kalem2 aja bareng mereka terus (kecuali si mbak yang heboh sendiri). Ya habis, kita nggak kenal, karena jarang nonton tv… :D
Kemarin di ruang tunggu dokter, saya membaca cerita tentang anak yg kecanduan game online separah kecanduan narkoba, sampai bolos sekolah 3 bulan hanya demi main game, hingga harus diterapi segala. Orangtua sang anak saling menyalahkan, karena tidak ada kesepakatan dalam hal pengasuhan. Sang ibu melarang anaknya main game di warnet, sementara ayahnya justru mengantar jemput ke warnet. Sang ibu tidak mau anaknya diberi uang jajan sejak awal, sementara ayahnya memberikannya uang jajan, yg kemudian dipakai untuk main game online seharian. Tadi pagi ibu mertua cerita tentang seorang anak yg nakalnya minta ampun, karena kedua orangtuanya tidak kompak dalam pengasuhan, bagaikan musuh dalam selimut. Si ayah sering menjelek2kan ibunya kepada anaknya, sedangkan ibunya juga tidak mengajarkan respek kepada ayahnya. Si ayah terlalu toleran, sementara si ibu terlalu tangan besi. Maka anak itu menjadi tidak hormat pada orangtuanya, pembangkang dan liar. Benang merahnya adalah, jika orangtua tidak ko...
[gallery] Pernah memperhatikan sarang burung di atas dahan? Biasanya sarang itu bertengger di batang yg bersimpangan, karena memang itulah posisi paling aman. Saya merasa disitulah posisi saya sekarang ini dalam kehidupan. Mulai menikmati zona nyaman, meski sadar bahwa kenyamanan itu menghanyutkan… But heck, currently I just wanna enjoy my life, with all I got, coz nothing is immortal in this world =)
The philosophy of cleaning up.
I spent this sunny Sunday with my family: cooking, playing, learning, watching movie, cabinet building, balcony picnic, and cleaning storage room. I love rearranging & cleaning up. It soothes my mind, and gives myself time to contemplate as well. When in doubt, I clean up. When I’m sad/down, I clean up. Though today I wasn’t in doubt nor feeling sad/down at all, I do still enjoy it, as always. When I think of why I love rearranging things and cleaning up, the only thing I can find is the fact that the activity gives real time result, and a good teraphy for letting go. Yes, to let go things we dont need (anymore) so we can have enough space for things we (still) need. Sometimes in life, we just have to loose so we dont get lost.
[gallery] The place where I said, “If u’re not happy with our relationship, I’m ok if u leave. With all potentials u got, I believe u can find someone better than me.” And he answered, “But no one can change me the way u do. Not even my mom.” It was 8 years ago… And we’re still together up to now :)
[gallery] Feel honored that I had the opportunity to present about #Startuplokal and Indonesia startup scene in general, in front of 45 Google managers from all around the world that came to visit Project Eden. And to my surprise, Marissa Mayer was also with them. Had nice chit chat with her about life being a career woman and also support from husband, while I was having my lunch. UPDATED: That was just a couple of months before she left Google for being Yahoo CEO. And j ust later I found out that she was 4 months pregnant. I feel bad to let her went up and down through emergency stairs!
Marriage Tips
Today is our wedding anniversary and I feel like sharing my tips about how to maintain a marriage, as I promised 1,5 years ago :) Insecurity is the root of jealousy. When you feel insecure, you easily get jealous. And jealousy leads to dispute. Learned it the hard way. Daripada terus2an menuntut dan bernegatif-thinking yg menghabiskan energi, kenapa nggak diputarbalikkan jadi motivasi untuk memperbaiki kualitas diri dan mencari kesibukan dengan kegiatan positif? Always keep up with your spouse. Keeping up with spouse and shifting to the same level will help you stay away from insecurity. Banyak yg mengeluh ketika pasangan berubah, padahal perubahan adalah satu2nya hal yg abadi di dunia ini. Perubahan tak bisa dilawan, tapi bisa diarahkan. Jangan curhat sembarangan . Jika sedang menghadapi masalah, ceritalah hanya dengan orang yang benar benar kamu percaya bisa bantu mengatasi masalahmu. Kalau mau sekedar berbagi perasaan, tunggu sampai masalahnya selesai. Contro...
Women Are Like Cars?
Stumbled upon this and triggers me to write this post : Women are like cars As they get more mileage on them they become less reliable and attractive. So when one gets old and used you trade up to a newer model, just like a car. Actor Ryan Phillippe shows a prime example. He started dating Reese Witherspoon when she was young and attractive. She popped out a few kids and got older so he traded up to Abbie Cornish, 6 years younger than Reese Witherspoon and a lot hotter.After a few years he traded up again to Alexis Knapp, 7 years younger than Abbie Cornish. Men get more attractive and desirable with age where women become less desirable. That is a good reason why men should never marry. Sadly, how debatable it is, I found this partly true. BUT, there’s a but, it mostly applies if women are not willing to upgrade themselves, both inner & outer. And I, as far as I’m concerned, wouldn’t be one of them. At least, not anymore. At the beginning of our dating days almost a dec...
