The Diary of a CEO's Wife

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...

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...

How to find “the right one”? How do we know that he/she is the one? First,  no one  in this world  is perfect for you . Even when you think you found one, be prepared to find the fact that he/she is not that perfect. The good news is, there is actually  someone  who  is just right for you . But bear in mind that  you cant find Mr./Ms. Right. You make one.   First time I met this guy for real was in July 2002, at Indonesian blogger community gathering (Blogbugs). We’ve been knowing each other for several months only via blog. I read his blog & he read mine, give comments & exchange link, as simple as that. Being smart, firstborn, famous-geek, calm & shy,  he got my attention in the first place as a perfect guy . Unfortunately, he already got a girlfriend. So I simply forget him and continue my journey in finding Mr. Right. A year later we met again, in the first national blogger gathering - Blogbugs Anniversary (May 2003). Under...

Dan Tuhan memberikan pada Nie keajaiban itu sekali lagi… Senin, 17 Maret 2008. Usia kandungan 36 minggu 4 hari. Mama mertua main ke rumah, kita ngobrol di kamar Nie 1,5 jam. Pas mo pulang, beliau nyaranin Nie ke dokter ditemenin salah satu asisten rumah tangga. Karena banyak urusan beliau nggak bisa nemenin. Nie bilang gpp pergi sendirian, toh perginya ke RS sakit, kalo kandungannya kenapa2 ya aman di sana. Lagipula RSnya juga deket banget. Jam 12 siang, taksi Blue Bird pesanan datang. Dokter agak bingung, jadwal kontrol Nie harusnya Rabu. Nie bilang, sejak Sabtu pagi rasanya udah ada kontraksi dan perut bagian bawah nyeri. Lagipula Nie pengen cepet2 tentuin tanggal operasi caesarnya, karena mama mau ke Bangka. Setelah di USG dokter langsung periksa dalam, ternyata… udah ada pembukaan! Sementara posisi bayinya masih melintang: kepala di perut kanan atas, kaki di perut kiri bawah. Jelas sangat beresiko kalo dipaksain melahirkan normal. Mana kelilit tali pusat pula. Dari bahan2 ...
