Ha-hi-hu

Phew..even though I already promised that I'll write regularly, still it's hard to do -_- Mostly because the position of my desk in new office is not good. Anyone who pass the room can see what I'm doing in my laptop. I really..really don't like it! That's why my blogging and facebook-ing activities are reduced significantly.

And I forget to tell you that I'm now pregnant! Yay!! Me and hubby quite happy with this news. Me really expecting this beacuse I plan to have a baby before I pursue my master degree (Amienn). Although than we have to prepare so many things. Of course there's an extra expenditure for this pregnancy: for monthly doctor check, maternal milk that is quite far more expensive than regular milk, vitamins, and also for more fresh fruits and vegetables. Yeaa, it's again our new task to manage everything. Save more money and also make more money ;)

For that reason, I also just started new online business with Oriflame and D'BC Network. It sounds not new right? Yeahh..I've read about it since quite a long time, maybe since 2 years ago. I just decided to join after my facebook friend who previously studied in UI and work in quite a good NGO offered me to join. Well..well..well..I got lots of things to do then: office work, business work, and also scholarship preparation. I really don't want to ruin one of them.

Hubby is now more more patient with me :) He cooks almost everyday. Yuhuu..luv you so mas :*

New office

Pheww..I have been so busy in my new office :D I started officially on March 7, 2012. My previous office promised to give me a month salary, but, they're not give it yet *as usual* :p

The people in my new office is almost all are good. They are warm-hearted, hard workers, and very familiar like a family :) My colleague in the same division, 2 years younger than me, but has a lot of experience in advocacy *need to learn a lot from her*. People are really working hard here, seriously working hard. Very different from my old office :p

This new office is also has a shortage: it is very far far away from home :( It takes 1,5-2 hours ride on the motorcycle or bus&angkot. I also a bit don't like the location. It is located in East Jakarta, near a bus terminal, which is the air around is more polluted than in the South Jakarta. But this is a new challenge for me..how to learn to manage my life and family, how to manage our time as a newly-wed couple more qualified, how to stay healthy and still get enough time to rest, and also opportunity for me to learn to manage money better than before, with a better salary ;)

Cheers,

Positive

Hey..let's be positive about life
I just got a new job, with better salary, better facilities, better work environment
I just want to get out of this situation in office
Office politics's sucks
I learn a lot from my experience
That people could have two faces at the same time
I hope I'll never find that kind again :)
Semangaaaaatttt!!!

Bergerak

Janganlah mereka dimusuhi, jangan inisiatif mereka dibunuh oleh
orang-orang yang bermental birokratik yang bisanya cuma bicara
di dalam rapat dan cuma membuat peraturan saja.
Makanya tranformasi harus bersifat kultural, tidak cukup sekedar struktural.

Ia harus bisa menyentuh manusia, yaitu manusia-manusia yang aktif, berinisiatif dan berani maju.
Manusia pemenang adalah manusia yang responsif.
Seperti kata Jack Canfield, yang menulis buku Chicken Soup for the Soul, yang membedakan antara winners dengan losers adalah

“Winners take action, they simply get up and do what has to be done”.

-sepenggal dari tulisan Rhenald Kasali "Bergerak"-

Today my life begins :)

Pas lagi mumet-mumetnya otak, saya nemu lagu ini, diposting oleh salah satu temen fesbuk. Quite good for me :) Buat yang mau liat video+lyrics nya ada di sini.

"Today My Life Begins"

Bruno Mars

I've been working hard so long
Seems like pain has been my only friend
My fragile heart's been done so wrong
I wondered if I'd ever heal again

Oh just like all the seasons never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (oh)

I will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me, today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting its mine for the taking
I know I can make it today my life begins

Yesterday has come and gone
And I've learn how to leave it where it is
And I see that I was wrong
For ever doubting I could win

Oh just like all the seasons never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (oh)

I will break these chains that bind me happiness will find me
Leave that past behind me today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting its mine for the taking
I know I can make it today my life begins

Life's too short to have regrets
So I'm learning now to leave it in the past and try to forget
Only have one life to live
So you better make the best of it

I will break these chains that bind me happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting its mine for the taking
I know I can make it today my life begins

I will break these chains that bind me happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting its mine for the taking
I know I can make it today my life begins

 

I miss travelling

I miss going around to see new things, meet new people..
I miss exploring new places..
I miss winter some where..
I miss the spirit of other travelers..

South Korea, Nov 2009, one day in a winter

Hope to see you soon, my next trip! :)

Capeek

Capeeknya kami...
Sabtu malem jam 19.00, kami berangkat naik travel ke Kuningan. Sampai di Kuningan hari Minggu jam 6 pagi! (karena si travel puter-puter kesana kemari jemput dan antar penumpang lain dulu). Setelah seharian di rumah, jam 4.30 sore kami berangkat lagi ke Jakarta naik bis Luragung Jaya (I'll never travel with you again!!), sampai di pintu tol Cikopo Cikampek jam 21.00. Di situ kami menunggu bis jurusan Lebak Bulus datang. Sayangnya, setelah ditunggu lebih dari 30 menit, bis tak kunjung datang. Hingga akhirnya ada satu mobil omprengan yang menawarkan untuk membawa kami dan beberapa orang lain ke Kampung Rambutan. Dari Kampung Rambutan, kami naik bis 3/4 ke Lebak Bulus. Sampai Lebak Bulus jam 23.10. Dari Lebak Bulus naik taksi menuju Pondok Cabe, sampai sana jam 23.36. Dari Pondok Cabe lanjut naik motor ke rumah kami di Sawangan, tiba sekitar jam 00.15. Dan hari ini, Senin, saya sedang di depan PC di kantor. Wuihh...what a trip..badan berasa remuk ringsek. But that's fine..for the sake of my mommy. Get well soon mamah, we love you :)
