Wow, it’s
been more than 5 MONTHS since the last time I post on this blog?
*hush hush
dust*
Ok, I’m not
gonna give some lame excuses like busy and such.
But lately,
writing in Instagram story feels more fun than in blog because I can interact
directly with the readers. And more rewarding too, because statistic shows that
my Instagram story reader number for a day equals to my blog reader number for a year!
Anyway, it
still feels good tho to re-read my blog post.
I just
reminded about it when I shared about our superwoman domestic helper,
#MbakTransformer in Instagram story. I looked up my blog archive about
housemaid and glad I once wrote down my past experiences so not only I can
learn from it, but my readers too.
My life is such an open book, anyone can read and learn from it.
So I told
myself, hey, why not keep writing and documenting my life, no matter how
trivial it is, no matter how short or long it is, no matter how few the blog
reader compared to the Instagram story viewer is.
Because I supposed
to write not to impress, but to capture memories, thoughts, and everything that
comes to my attention, so I can revisit it anytime, just like old times.
Collect memories, not things? Yes, please.
Well here
are some memory collections from January to June 2019:
January
- Got ankle injury after fell down at
home’s toilet and it brought a blessing a disguise: during bedrest I have
plenty of time to share on my Instagram story, started from a follower’s
question about financial. One thing to another, came to a topic about our
struggle in the first years of marriage. I gave it a title: The
Real Marriage Life. Since so many people dm me about their marriage and struggles
too, I made an additional account @therealmarriagelife to
answer similar questions.
February

Workshop in KawanMain where we shared about our lessons learned in marriage
life about understanding family tree, managing expectation & reality, assertive
communication, and MBTI. What supposed to be only 2 hours turned out to be 4
hours :)

MBTI Assessment based on request of my follower from Sumatera with an
instant preparation in a sudden. Thank God it turned out very well :)

June
- Right after our 14 Days Greece Trip
to Santorini, Naxos, Mykonos, Piraeus and Athens, we went straight to my mom’s
hometown Bangka Island in Sumatera for celebrating
Idul Fitri with my family.
- I lost count on how many happiness I’ve
got during this month because I enjoyed it so much in real life that I didn’t
care to share it much on social media. PLUS, I have a tendency to keep our beautiful pics for myself quite some time before I finally post it, just like the pic on this blog header, hehe.
Ok I think
that’s pretty much sum up my memories during the first semester of 2019. This post has been on my draft for a couple of weeks, and just now I got the time to
finish it in the middle of dizziness of studying Masoretic in class, LOL.
How was your
first semester of 2019? Hope it was great too!
