When Everything Fits Into Place in Just One Day

Sometimes, life throws you a day so filled with good news and quiet wins that you can’t help but pause, take a deep breath, and say a massive "Thank God!" Today is exactly one of those days. My heart is overflowing, so I wanted to capture all these sweet moments here before the whirlwind of life moves on.

Here are 10 incredible blessings that all landed in just one day:

1. One of Our Apartments is Finally Rented Out! 🔑

After sitting vacant for quite a while, we finally closed a rental deal for our 2-bedroom unit apartment! It’s such a massive relief to finally have a nice tenant moving in.

2. Another Year at One of Our Villas 🏡

Speaking of property wins, we also agreed on a 1-year lease extension for one of our villas! A huge shoutout to P & Y for being such fantastic, responsible tenants. Having good people take care of your space is a true blessing.

3. An Exciting Collaboration Waiting for Us 🎙️

A client is willing to hold off trainings and wait until we get back in November to wrap things up! That kind of enthusiasm and patience for working together means so much.

4. UK Visas Approved! 🇬🇧✈️

Yay! We got our UK visas back, and I honestly couldn't believe how fast it was: just one week after our Biometrics appointment! We are officially one giant step closer to our trip.

5. Birthday Celebrations on the Horizon 🎂

It was a double birthday celebration day! My big sis turned 48 and lil sis turned 38. We’re planning a fun family get-together this Sunday morning to celebrate them both properly with good food and lots of laughs.

6. Sashimi & Family Time 🍣

Our eldest went home and grabbed some foods including sashimi. Later in the evening, the whole family gathered upstairs, hanging out and catching up until midnight, including taking visa photos, bday videos, and giggles too.

7. A Big Win for Daddy 💼

Daddy had a meeting with the payment gateway company regarding the Startuplokal website and company project, to get a special rate.

8. Meal Prep for a Week 🍲

I spent a good chunk of the morning cooking up a storm to stock up homemade food for the upcoming week, so that my daughter won't have to worry about cooking while being busy with uni homeworks.

9. Cleansheet did the Cleaning 🧹

Cleansheet team did a fantastic job sprucing up the apartment. We made sure to send him off with martabak, t-shirt, and a tip.

10. Grateful for Helpful Hands 🙏

Thankful for team at one of our apartments for being extraordinarily helpful today, and make the key handover went smoothly.

Days like this remind me that when blessings flow, they really pour! Looking back at this list makes me realize how much love, support, and light surrounds us every day. And of course, all the glory to our God.

Now, question to ponder:

What’s one small or big thing you’re feeling grateful for today?

Catatan penting: untuk mencapai pemahaman penuh, mohon klik dan baca setiap tautan. Awalnya adalah pertanyaan . Membuahkan suatu jawaban . Diposting di akun pribadi, seperti yang biasa saya lakukan sejak hampir 15 tahun lalu , bahkan sebelum Mark Zuckerberg membuat Facebook. Jawaban yang juga autopost ke facebook itu menjadi viral, ketika direshare oleh lebih dari 20ribu orang, dengan emoticon lebih dari 38ribu, dan mengundang 700++ komentar. Kemudian menjalar liar, ketika portal-portal media online mengcopas ditambah clickbaits. Tidak ada media yang mewawancara saya terlebih dahulu ke saya kecuali satu media yang menghasilkan tulisan berkelas dengan data komprehensif ini . Well, ada juga yang sempat email ke saya untuk meminta wawancara, tapi belum sempat saya jawab, sudah menurunkan berita duluan selang sejam setelah saya posting foto di bustrans Jakarta .

Perawatan wajah dan cerita masa muda

Andaikata blog dan social media saya punya semacam FAQ (Frequently Asked Question, alias pertanyaan yang paling sering ditanyakan), sudah pasti di urutan pertama akan bertengger pertanyaan: "Pakai produk perawatan wajah apa?" Banyaaaakkk banget follower instagram / facebook / twitter saya yang nanya gitu, dan minta saya mengulasnya. Saya bilang sabar, tunggu tanggal mainnya. Tapi sebelum saya jawab pertanyaan itu, saya mau mengenang masa muda dulu ah.. Jadi begini cucuku... Waktu pertama kali ngeblog 15 tahun lalu , usia saya masih 21 (yak silakan dihitung usia saya sekarang berapa, pinterrrr). Jadi jangan heran kalo gaya bahasanya masih 4I_aY 4b3zzz.. (eh ga separah itu juga sih, hehe). Tapi ekspresi nulisku di masa-masa itu masih pure banget, nyaris tanpa filter. Jadi kalo dibaca lagi sampai sekarang pun masih berasa seru sendiri. Kayak lagi nonton film dokumenter pribadi. Kadang bikin ketawa ketiwi sendiri, kadang bikin mikir, kadang bi...

Family Holiday at Club Med Bintan - Premium All Inclusive Resort

I just had family holiday at Club Med Bintan, on 14-17 December 2017. To be frankly honest, it was way more fun than I expected as a short weekday getaway. Definitely one of the best vacation that we ever had! Photo of us in Club Med Bintan by Sweet Escape Transportation from Jakarta to Bintan Island We flew on Thursday morning, 14 December by Garuda Indonesia from Terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Tanjung Pinang Raja Haji Fisabillah International Airport. It was scheduled to be boarding at 10:30 but unfortunately got delayed for about an hour, so we arrived at around 1pm. Transportation from Bintan airport to Bintan resort At Bintan airport, a driver was already waiting with a sign board "Club Med". We then continued the journey by car, an hour long road without traffic jam at all. Not much to see along the way, most of it was some kind of deserted areas. But when we entered Lagoi area, it is green everywhere I see. Arrival at ...

Merayakan Cinta di Pulo Cinta (Review, Biaya, Giveaway!)

Prolog Teman-teman mungkin sudah tau ya, seharusnya saya dan suami merayakan wedding anniversary kami bulan ini di Santorini, seperti yang sudah saya impikan selama bertahun-tahun. Tapi terpaksa batal karena suami ada urusan yang tidak bisa diwakilkan, yang dapat mempengaruhi masa depan serta hajat hidup orang banyak. Cerita lengkapnya sudah saya tulis di sini: Santorini Dream . Tapi Tuhan Maha Baik, Ia memberikan kami penghiburan yang sangat indah: merayakan cinta di Indonesia rasa Maladewa : Pulo Cinta 😍 Sebuah eco-resort berbentuk hati/cinta (heart/love) yang keindahannya belakangan ini tengah melegenda terutama di kalangan blogger dan penggiat sosial media.

2026, Let's Go Easy

It’s 1 a.m. as I write this, tucked inside a hotel room in Blitar , freshly back from a New Year’s Eve celebration at Aloon-Aloon Kota Blitar . Yes, that is the actual name. I didn’t make it up. The photos will prove it. 😀 We left the hotel at 10 p.m. sharp with intentionally empty stomachs. Strategic hunger. Because where else should one welcome a new year if not in the middle of a giant field filled with food stalls selling everything edible, drinkable, and probably regrettable in large quantities. Skipping snacks would have been morally wrong. After circling the bazaar in our best food-hunter mode, we finally docked at a humble tent stall with carpets spread out for lesehan seating . Dinner was rawon rice and chicken soto rice , both at the very comforting price of ten thousand rupiah per portion. The flavor, however, was elevated by a surprise plot twist: salted eggs pulled dramatically out of my mom’s bag. Emotional support telur asin , clearly. We had forgotten to bring UNO...

Roadtrip With No Deadline and Plenty of Snacks

Road trip day! We hit the road at 8 a.m., thirty minutes later than planned. But honestly, who cares? There was no deadline, no race to win. As long as everyone was accounted for and nothing important was left behind, we were good. Bonus point: I actually slept well the night before, which meant as the navigator of this journey, wasn’t half-asleep behind the wheel feels like small but crucial victory. Our first stop was at 9:30 a.m. at KM 57 rest area . The reason was simple and non-negotiable: coffee. My husband also needed to stop to do some office transfers, because work apparently travels with you now. While he was busy, I took Coffee Kenangan promo : buy two Toffee Nut Lattes , get one Americano free. Perfect timing, because my mom had specifically requested an Americano. Total damage: 50k. Cheap joy is still joy. While my husband was still glued to his phone, I dragged my mom to participate at Jasa Marga survey . The prize? An umbrella. She was ridiculously happy because, surpri...

Year End Reflection Ritual : 2025 - 2026

I came across Mel Robbins’ year end reflection ritual, six questions she has been answering for the past twenty two years. Six questions sound harmless, almost cute. Like a magazine quiz that ends with “you are a sunflower.” But once I started answering them honestly, I realized this was not a personality test. This was an emotional audit. Let’s start with the hardest one. The low points of the year. There were some. Actually, quite plenty. I can say this without drama now, but 2025 has been my lowest year since 2013. That year taught me survival. This year tested endurance. One of the heaviest moments came quietly, from a place I never expected to reach our home. It felt like standing in the middle of a storm that wasn’t ours to begin with, yet somehow found us anyway. My husband chose to stay when it would have been easier to leave, to keep holding the bridge together so others could cross safely. Opportunities passed by, shiny and tempting, but he remained where he believed responsi...

A Rainy Day That Refused to Be Quiet

I slept at 2 a.m. and woke up at 8, not because my body was ready, but because my best friend Detha was already in the apartment lobby. She had told me several days before that she might come by. Might, in best-friend language, usually means definitely. The plan was wholesome and optimistic. A morning walk around the botanical garden, chasing sweat and pretending we’re disciplined adults. Reality had other plans. Rain. Endless rain. The kind of rain that makes your bed whisper, come back, don’t be a hero. Honestly, rainy mornings like that are made for sleeping in, not cardio. So since the entire household was still asleep, I went down alone and we talked in the lobby instead. Life updates flowed easily. Surgery stories, health check-ins, holiday plans, and then heavier things, like the bullying her teenager has been facing at school. The kind of conversation that reminds you how friendship isn’t about constant laughter, but about being able to say hard things without rehearsing. At 10...

Light Sleeper vs Heavy Sleeper

How are you, my geek widow? my husband asked over lunch, holding my hand with a playful smirk. For context, a “geek widow” is a married woman who feels functionally single at night because her husband is off “dating” his computer screen until 3 AM, lost in a world of coding. In response, I proudly pulled up my phone to show him my sleep statistics from last night. I had achieved a gloriously high sleep score with zero wake-ups! The secret? We didn't sleep in the same bed. We have an unwritten rule: if I’m already fast asleep and he’s still coding late into the night, he doesn't come upstairs; he sleeps on the mattress below so he won't disturb me. Not to be outdone, he pulled up his own stats. Sky-high deep sleep, practically zero awake time; a typical night for him. He is a naturally heavy sleeper, and honestly, I envy him. He won't wake up even there's loud noise, I have to touch him directly to wake him up. But then came the unwanted advice: he started listing of...
