wooowww blog ini ternyata masih bisa bernafass… hehehehe
banyaak bgt yg berubah setelah terakhir gw menulis di blog ini (really, this sounds familiar. that means i often neglect my blogs or diaries)
emre, for instance is turning 1 year and 9 mos!!!! nearly 2!!
and my accessories line, btw, alhamdulillah is doing great, and the best part is, i really really really love what im doin now, it’s like my all time dream.
when i was a teenager, i always dream of having a craft-store where i can put all my crafty work. i love being crafty all my life. and since then, i kinda tryin to find what kind of craft that suits me best.
up until i have Emre in my life. dont know what gets into me, i tried to make necklaces and it feels good! so after some trial and errors, i managed to open my online-shop!
and the best part is, i now have sisters around the world who love my works and order some of it 
alhamdulillaah..
have a good day and i hope to see u soon !!
I’d like to have :
- Smaller house, bigger backyards
Small and understated but clean n bright house would be good for me. But bring the big backyard for me, please…
- Tropical swimming pool
With its organic form, surrounded by river stones and trees in the midst. The blue water would surely do me heaven
- Open plan and loaded with sunlight
No aisles for me please… make the room as big n flexible as possible, and we’re all set to hold gatherings
- Windy and lush terrace
Where I can put rattan benches to have morning tea, and where Abi can put his treadmill and stuff…
- I Want My Studio!
Or craft room, or working room, or whatever it is, bring it! Just small space to put my craft things, and where i can work at the desk or on the floor and making a mess without having to be worried someone will be mad at me! Ha ha …. And sunlight are most welcome… and don’t forget the air con….
- Study or Playing Room for Emre
Like what I’ve already have in the corner of our room.
I want the room to be filled with sunlight, bright colors on the wall,
stacks of small boxes where Emre can put his toys at the exact place ( I will name each box with the toys criteria ) to teach him responsibility since beginning,
Wall of fame where Emre can display his work (artwork etc)
A big whiteboard to learn n play
And last but not least, a bookcase that can be easily reached by him, and colorful play-mat with fluffy pillow as his reading corner

How i love psychological quizzes….
Ask Nina my bestie and my former house-mate… She knows my habits too well…
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend – you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren’t interested in wasting time with people you don’t really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You’re a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don’t succeed. Don’t give up when you haven’t yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It’s time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
Tulisan ini dibuat atas permintaan salah satu sahabat saya yg lagi hamil 
hai dek, gw gak tau mau share apa nih, but i’ll try
—
My first (and only, so far) Pregnancy
—
Being pregnant is to me : dealing with mood swings!
You can feel happy, safe and warm, and then you’d become weak and vulnerable… like no one care, like no one understands
and then you cry, and you cry.. and then you’d worry about how would your baby be if you keep on crying
and then you fell asleep. when you’re awake, hey! it’s sunshine again and you feel happy
hahaha.. maybe that sounds exaggerating, but once in a while i felt that way…
*
But pregnancy also means many things for me…
you’re preparing your little one to be the best person alive
you talk to him, cuddle him..and you recite holy qur’an to him…
hoping that he’s become familiar with the sound, and somehow would affect his mind and soul
*
Every word you say may become a prayer for your little one..
Remembering that pregnant women always be surrounded by angels praying for her goodness every second,
somehow made you strong and alive…
Remembering that being pregnant is equal with fighting in Allah’s way,
somehow made you feel blessed and content
*
Being pregnant is surely one of the greatest gift that Allah has given me!
Be grateful and make the most of your pregnancy time
i really do concern about us, as a human, and interaction between us.
era Internet benar2 telah membawa proses interaksi antar manusia ke level yang sangat berbeda.
semua bisa dikomunikasikan dengan tanpa komunikasi. tanpa suara. tanpa tatap mata.
proses pertukaran informasi sangatlah mudah dan terus dipermudah hingga tanpa beranjak dari tempat tidurpun seseorang bisa menyelesaikan pekerjaannya.
sosialisasi dan interaksi pun makin mudah dan luas. percakapan *virtual* dengan beberapa kelompok sosial dapat dilakukan dengan tanpa menguras energi dan waktu.
sungguh suatu era yang memanjakan para manusianya…
entah berapa waktu yang bisa dihemat karna adanya internet? sangatlah banyak… informasi diujung jari…
Berapa teman yang bisa kita jaring dalam situs sosial? sangatlah banyak.. hanya tinggal add or follow saja..
saya acungkan jempol sampai disini
pertanyaan selanjutnya…
berapa banyak waktu yang kita buang untuk berkumpul dengan keluarga?
mungkin banyak yang bilang.. tidak banyak..
tapi waktu adalah KUALITAS, bukan KUANTITAS
mau apa jika kita berkumpul dengan keluarga tapi pikiran dan jiwa kita tidak disana?
kita asik menyelesaikan tugas ini itu, sosialisasi sana sini, tanpa kenal waktu
YOU’RE HERE BUT YOU’RE NOT PRESENT
berapa banyak kesempatan yg kita buang dengan tidak mengacuhkan orang disebelah kita?
akhirnya kita memilih berinteraksi secara virtual daripada melakukan kontak mata dan jabat tangan
akhirnya kita tenggelam dalam kemudahan dan mengabaikan kesempatan didepan mata
*
semoga apa yang saya tulis tidak menjadi kondisi yang mayoritas.
semoga masih banyak orang yang sadar akan pentingnya HADIR dengan segenap ketulusan jiwa dan pikiran
IT’S NOT THE FLESH THAT MATTERS… IT’S YOUR SOUL AND YOUR THOUGHT THAT WE COUNT

wait for the launching okay
barusan gue browsing dan terpana ngebaca artikel ttg judul diatas di sini
are you an exaggerating mom?
The Exaggerator
This is the mom who will never admit to anything that may be slightly askew in the household. She paints a beautiful rosy picture, when we all know it’s never that perfect. “Angel is doing great! She’s such an easy baby. She has been sleeping through the night, every night, since she was two months old, and she has met or exceeded all of her milestones at this age. She’s such a good eater, too. She never whines, she cries only when she’s hungry or needs to be changed, and she loves to go out for long periods of time and just smile away at strangers!” Be aware that this does differ from a proud mom who brags about her babies. To me, bragging is a wonderful perk of motherhood. However, as any sane mom can attest, when the conversation only revolves around how great things are, bragging becomes exaggerating.
HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID…
i used to be a reckless worrier mother back then (maklum anak pertama) … semua semua serba di browsing, serba dibaca2, sampe akhirnya pusing sendiri dan makin stressss..
apalagi kalo nemu blog ttg mom n baby yg ceritanya.. OOH SUPER SWEET
they could make me go ‘why is my baby like this and like that?’ ‘ and compared my baby to theirs, only what i didn’t realize was… it was actually their VIRTUAL baby..
life can seem so perfect in written in ur blog, but hey… what about reality? now im sure you’ve got something to hide, don’t ya don’t yaa???
so… THE EXAGGERATOR… i wont be fooled by your writing anymore (^^,)
‘ Emre mau sekolaah? ‘
“ya ya ya ya ya”
itu sepenggal percakapan umi dan emre sebelum akhirnya umi nganterin emre utk trial ke beberapa sekolah bayi atau playgroup..
entah darimana dia bisa jawab iya atas ajakan sekolah..
mungkin karna setiap ngelewatin sekolahan abang sepupunya, gw selalu bilang.. ‘ itu sekolah uda aii, emre mau sekolah juga?’ hahahaha
hari pertama, gw bawa ke Bee Preschool di Pos Pengumben
sekolahnya bagus, gurunya baik, pengantarnya bhs inggris… dan ada kelas utk anak 1 tahun
emre seneng banget di bee ini, mungkin karna banyak muridnya jadi seru
gw pikir cukup okelah… apalagi bisa bayar per kedatangan, jadi kan gak terikat mengingat umur emre yg baru 13 bulan
hari kedua, dicoba ke tumbletots di bintaro
seharusnya dia lebih seneng ya.. tapi pas kesana emre lagi ngantuk alhasil rewel!
dan kynya gw gak terlalu sreg bgt sih
disini fokus bgt ke motorik kasar. beda dgn bee yang pilihan aktivitasnya bisa lebih beragam, ada pelajaran menulis, berenang, etc
dan tumbletots gak bisa bayar per kedatangan (bisa, tapi harus jadi member dulu, dan itu mahal bow)
jadi…kynya ngga dulu deh..
dipikir2, kynya tetep ada yg kurang dari 2 sekolah itu…
apa ya?
ternyata setelah ditelaah, kurangnya nuansa islamilah sebabnya
akhirnya hari ketiga gw bawa ke playgroup islam deket rumah…
alhamdulillah mendekati pengharapan gw
tapi… minimal umur 2 tahun, hahaha
sabar ya emre sayang..,,,
sementara emre dateng2 aja dulu ke bee yah, main2…
love you baby
now i understand the meaning of savage garden’s song:
”i knew i loved you before i met you”
at 1st i thought… how come??
but now i know..
i knew i loved my husband before i even met him
i love the idea of him
i always believed he’s somewhere out there
i always believed that when i see him, i know that he’s the one
and when i see the idea is coming true, that he actually exist, there.. i love him that instant
i thought that i was a hopeless romantic,
but it turned out that i’m not
i’m just a believer..
and i belief that believer gets what believer beliefs..
so choose carefully what you belief, cos it’s coming right to you
thank U Allah for Ur priceless gift for me….
