Day 18. Being friendly is really a must!

Today, I went to the dinas perhubungan DKI Jakarta, that made me complaining everytime since they considered every visitor must be noticed about the map, and me - disoriented of place. Suck!

But, I keep my anger for myself and tried always to be nice until I finally arrived at the venue and everyone there very friendly to me. Because, I always smiled up. I can’’t imagine if I ended up with my anger and complain, and see them as enemy. It was impossible to tread me well. 

When I was back to home, I found Dega and Nabilla were so closed! Nabilla took care of hime while his mom worked. I love them!

Day 17. Take a break!

Long holiday doesn’t guarantee you to take a rest more. As contrary it made you exhausted since many events you have to come but lil time for me time or even, family time to sleep haha.

I actually indeed planned to come office lately but while I took shower Dega, I modified my plan. I want to full time rest at home, nobody can disturb me even the call came from office, I ignored it :P

Then, I and Dega only slept and slept. Blessed it didn’t bother the sleep cycle time. 

Yeay! and my super busy week will be tinier!

Day 16. Life is alike sunglasses. Yes, life is alike sunglasses, framing what you think but also mirroring for what you do. Since my mun wanted me to visit her, we went to hers and actually, plan to survey the new home. However, we don't predict things already happened within my family's home. The greatest conflict came up with the solution: finding the new job for my bro. While the story has been told from one side, I interpreted from another side since I used to be in his shoes as well. It made me hurt so much. Mirroring and throwing back what happen with me 4 years ago. Trauma? Yes! But I'm moving on and forgiving what they did to me. Allah shows the right path. Slowly but sure. In the same side, I am blessed that I don't live nearby them. Peacefully and too busy to do my daily bussiness. Haha. This reason keeps us to still being independent, not expect what my dad said; helping to buy the new home. Though it's burden, we are still seeking the new alternatives to get for. I know my dad, and this analyse comes from being kids for 26 years in the same roof. I don't want to be blame. My choice doesn't depend anyone else. My family is my responsibility... Thanks for making me in self intropection, God!

Day 15. New people, new perspective. Today, we all are invited to visit Ulil's aunt's home. Do I know Ulil? Yes, just now. Do I know the family? Even worse, I don't know them all. But because I promise to come if Ulil invites me. I make it true! Dega, Papa Boki, and Mom in law came and visited them. And they are sooooooo nice and accepted us very friendly. We tasted so many kind of foods there. Local and delicious food. Kapurung, Sinole, and Lawa were sooooo mouth watering. In fact, Ulil is actually the nephew and his parent are at Sengkang, small city at South Sulawesi, my hometown as well. But the aunt treats him kindly! Comparing with my family treated our cousins very bad just because they feel their class is step a head. It is unforgettable when my cousin wore the shirt which is unused and my mom said that he dared to wear it. I hated it!!!! They are so cocky! What the value to learn, don't ever value others by the class but the heart. Thank you!!! To letting know other bugisnese family in this town which has different perspective with me!

Day 14. Think Less, Live More. Today we had so much fun! Since today is our long holiday so I told you before that spending a luxurious hotel if it is line with the comfortable that they offer, why not. So that, we go here. Dega feels nothing but comfort, less cranky, and smiling always. I remembered when he for the first time stat at hotel, bandung, he slept all the time. What he always did is only sleep, could be because the laundry smell from the bed sheet. He does. Arriving here, only 30 minutes playing and breastfeeding, he fell in sleep until he woke up and we take him to the pool. Then, he swam with me and firstly, he seemed surprised because the water was cold and this is his first experiment to go larger swimming pool, his amateur experience only went to Mom and Jo, and having baby spa. But today, happy go lucky! He liked it much! Totally paid off! He enjoyed so much and we promised him to bring again to the swimming pool. Then, while we posted into social media, we got many likes! Haha! Satisfied? Yes! The happiness always comes in fact, not by thinking it lot! But feeling alive within the life. Yeay! Super happy for today! Thank you! Another pics will be posted soon ya!

Day 13. Happiness depends on yourself, not others. 

You can share happiness but this thing to be noted, don’t expect that anyone will follow you or even share their happiness with you. This is my lesson learn today. I started the day by being busy to work domestic before I went to office. I took Dega as my house will be fogged and it will stay 30 minutes at least. Too dangerous for Dega still play around home. With this announcement which was already told me by Pak RT, I plan to bring Dega to office and wait for the fogging getting loose and make me no worries. 

But my husband was not ready since he was too ashamed to go my office without taking a shower. Okay, I decided to still go. I was feeling okay but my husband didn’t feeling right and told me that it will make me difficult but I said, difficult situation is my daily life. I just went by myself taking Dega and he’s really OKAY. I even had time to have breakfast mean while Dega’s handled by my friend. until he slept. Wow!

Then, I had meeting with the network and this is my lesson learn. If you attend the meeting, prepare the things that you make the key message and campaign idea to make easier to be campaign design. Then, I had lunch and I thought my friends will be waiting for me but none of them waited for me, but it was okay! I had dinner at office together with my other friend and telling story until they came and felt guilty hahahaha...and we back to make all the office laughing!

Surprisingly! I got the hotel discount for the weekend, I booked by myself and thought that it was pretty cheaper than how much we spend for bringing Dega to the spa only. With 900,000 IDR, we can spend one night at 4 stars hotel, enjoyed at their fancy restaurant, and taking Dega to the swimming pool. My husband disagreed but he didn’t want to argue more. 

Then, when I came back home. My mom in law stays and told me that tomorrow my dad in law will go to out of town. I said no problem because we will go to the heart of Jakarta and having one night there! Enjoyable weekend is waited for us. See? I can share my happiness even the happiness was made by myself and other disagreed but if you thought it was what you need. Stay strong! hahahah

Can’t wait!

Day 12. Be creative rather than only talk!

I was invited to be attending the meeting with the partners with the issue that actually sensitive enough and no wonder if they’re talking with negative tones and very heavy. Very heavy until my head got dumped (seriously, I took the medicine since my headache hit me). In the same time, while I also listened them, I was trying to make it possible and visible as well. Work! work! rather than only talk! 

The design is cute really! I really love it and can;t wait to make it become public attention. Other thing, I already messaged my husband to not have dinner outside as I cooked for him. That’s why I shopped at Nenek’s stall and bought for the meals. Then, deng deng...I had idea to make fried tempeh, stew tuna with green chills, sayer asam, and chill sauce/sambal. Stew tuna was the creative one because I took from the refrigerator to use the remaining tunas so I don’t waste the food. This is the core message of the right to foods. Many people hunger all the time meanwhile you waste the food. It is ridiculous. 

And because the tuna still remained, I re-cooked for the fried rice anddddd SOLD OUT. 

Don’t stop to be creative. Being creative is a gift. Seriously!

Day 11. Positive thinking.

I can’t write as many as I used to. I am sick today. I am sorry…but the rejection doesn't mean reject you personally but the professionally. When it comes to work, prepare for your heart to meet various people with different character. My boss especially, she is fun but bit assertive if it is related to work. This afternoon, my dad asked me to encourage my young bro to eager sending the apps to my hub's office. I want! But my hub denied that. He doesn't involve to the conflict area which mostly brought by my family :( but it is okay I will tell him slowly to do it since I think It is nothing to lose. If you want to be nice, don't expect people can do the same isn't it? Be positive all the time. Hope me will recover soon!

Day 10. never ending to be patient = the key of happiness

I must confess. Today is the suckest day as long as 2016. Started this morning by waking late, and went to office, even it’s on time still, but from my track record to go office, today’s latest one. I usually come 08 am or even 08.30. Then, I went to Mandiri Bank to complain what happened with my new debt card. It didn’t work at all. Meanwhile, they said (wide spoke), you don’t need to queue and go directly to Widi, the customer service who handle my case. But in fact, I still waited for ages (it was too much, not long - only 15 minutes but dealing with the promises, it made me hurt :P). Then, one of them came to me and asked my complain. Well, they asked what they didn’t notice me before and apologised. I directly went to PIN person and made the new pin. She said I need to wait 30 minutes to use the card. 

The cs person said: you can use it directly. Different? Hmmm...

I doubted!

Until I ate my fave chicken noodle (Gosh thank you finally I have a thing to be grated for haha) and back to ATM. and IT DIDN’T WORK! Angry? Absolutely! I hold my anger, controlled, took a deep breath and called the mandiri call centre. She said? aha! you can use directly Miss, it is already active?

The reality bites me more! Back to ATM, and the change’s not there. I planned to go Mandiri Bank, but the office mates said that the bank already closed. Okay, I called again the mandiri. She said that my case’s needed to be investigate since it is the special case. What’s her suggestion?

I have to go the BANK tomorrow!

Okay. Okay. My head’s heated up! How come the best bank that I know so far can be so reckless? Hmm....I went to kitchen and ate my chico cake that Mbak Heni kept it for me. Delicious. I forgot my case and suddenly, my mom in law called me that the refrigerator would be exchanged today and ensured that Dega’s nanny already prepared for it; get out of my things inside the old one. Okay. But the problem showed more!

Dega’s nanny called me and worried so much because my breastmilks were almost melting! Huffffffffff.....deng dong deng dong! I was so emotional! but I tried to be patient and thought the solution. What is it? going home and bring all the breastmilks to office’s refrigerator. God, why did’t she even ask me and direct to decide it? you can do it in weekend, isn’t it? I had to cooling down, I guessed and trying to chit chat with my peers in the pantry! It was so FUN! and made today’s problem seems so forgettable. 

I only complained to my husband and he knows me so well. and voila! I got the new refrigerator from my mom in law? It means I can keep my milk until 3 months away! yeah! super happy! The present for being patient along a day :P

Day 9. The beautiful of sharing. Monday like other day, I set the planning up to do the check list to do and 80% already done, particularly the heaviest one; the concept note. Today, my office mate comes from her 9 months maternity leave and her breastpump was left and I offered mine to be borrowed and she was happy. Sharing is also about how to make other people comfy with your enjoyable feeling such as I requested to office girls to clean up the nursery room so we can breastpumping with full of joy! It is serious because I hold my feeling until my mate is coming and I finally spoke up. My package that I ordered onlinely came today. It was late actually because I plan to wear dega with the new jumper for the family gathering but it is totally paid off. As the jumper is too cute to be true with the drawing of two elephants of daddy and son highlighted by the words: daddy loves me. In line with our image of our family: elephant as our body is fat and as nice as elephant! 😁😁😁😁 It makes me to order the similar jumper for this long weekend. Arriving home, Dega slept and only 30 minutes, he woke up and playing fun with me. He also exercised himself to sit! My smart baby!

Day 8. Enjoyable Coincidence. Morning like other day, I cooked the sei balado for breakfast and then showered Dega. After that, prepared for family gathering. We were ready for back up plan, driving by my self and dega's taken care by my mom in law, then, Mas Yoyo called and will pick us up. Because it was at Petrol, I can take my money from ATM. Arrived, I ate many menus and packed to bring home. Ahay! And coincidentally, Boki's friends coming and they eat the meals I took away. Can you imagine if I had no meals to prepare, when they are getting closer. Could be hanging out for meals but time's out, they already knocked. Luckily, meals're there and I just heated it up!

[cewekposmo]

Day 7. Family Vacation! As your habit already changes, the lazy weekend cant make you be real lazy. Dega woke up followed up by us, and we finally decided to have breakfast outside and going to the zoo. I checked the opening time, worry it is still closed and voila, the gate is already opened and we can make the plan worked. We had delicious ketupat sayur, the rendang was so tasty! And cheap! After that, we entered the zoo and hang around. Firstly Dega seemed antusiast but later on, he was bored and cried on! Hahahaha...but we were still fighting to make him fun and ended up... He slept away! We laughed lot and went to my office to print the poster. And what's the reaction of my boss? She said that the poster is super cute. All the things you sacrifice are never useless! Thank you!

Day 6. The good karma. This morning I woke up lately since my foots were in pain last night and Deg's hungry all the time, made me not sleep well. At least, I had enough time to rest my eyes prior to start the day. I brought the car and let people notice that yenny's birthday should be celebrated. Lunch, we jumped to japanese restaurant and luckily, they really like and satisfied. Such as Dita said that she never tried the good curry as delicious as her dish before and mine? I have spicy ramen that I love! In mid of eating time, I went to outlet to buy the pants that she adored so much. And indeed, she's amazed with our gift and said thank you so many times. We're treated by her. Yeay! Then, I bought the crepe for Nabilla, hoping she'll like it and back to office, to continue the awaiting tasks. Yenny asked me that she will be in meeting and asking for a help to contact the delivery. I wanted to say no. But, I remember the key message for changing your self: never say no! So, I did it. Everybody's happy with pizza timey and finally went home up and got Nabilla's too happy to get the burger crepe! Yeay, I also bought her ice cream, which she's crazy about. After that, my online delivery'a arrived and there was the beautiful shirt for sunday's family gathering. Hoping dega's jumper will arrive tomorrow yaa!

Day 5. Listen and present.

Today’s the day of hectic, back to back meeting with many people. To start day, I intended to bring the headphone back with chocolate. This was the last interaction in office before I ran and spent at least 5 hours at coffee shop to listen many ideas and stories. Sisterhood was there and able to hear someone’s deeply! Crying each other is not painkiller but at least, it indicates that you are not alone. Then, I got notice that my healthcare reimbursement is paid. Back to office, had to meeting to talk hand over note and end up with….

I GOT THE MACINTOSH! Yeay!!!

After that, I went down to the pantry and got THE TWO CHEESES inside the freezer from collegue. Back to home, I got the dinner box from my mom in law. In 1 hour, my niece in law came and bought my bag, and I got the money cash. Afterward she’s gone, my hubby arrived and brought me dinner!

Thank GOD! Thank GOD! Thank GOD! I am blessed today!

Day 4. On time! As planned, I woke up by 6.19 and had time to cook my husband's breakfast and went to office to deliver Sei for Mas Taufiq and got the taxi voucher. Eventhough, the trip almost 2 hours, I had space for take a rest for a while and dropped at seven eleven for having fresh sandwich. Yuhuu! And I was not late! Then, I joined the FGD and asked one question that made everybody respond on it! Seemed smart right? Wkwwkwk....*faking* it was my opportunity to have more knowledge on climate change adaptation within many perspetive, not only by food security, but also by marine, forestry, and the urban farming idea as one of solution to make sure the supply chain in urban taking place inside the urban. i also had lunch with new friends and sharing the matherhood experience and it was so lovely! The more lovelier was the hotel staff helped me to use the HR room for nursery and called the restaurant staff for taking my milk bottles. What a nice! The on time happened as well when I called the taxi to pick me up. I finished pumping and keepin into the bottle and after all, i returned home! Dega's cranky since he got the cold. He felt fever and the liquid felt down from his nose, I help him out and made him fall a sleep and I relieved so much. What's the good news for tomorrow? Free lunch from the boss! Yes!

Day 4. Dega’s daycare will be covered by my office!

Hufff! What other things make you so blessed. I was afraid since the airfare is so high but because of promise, I am brave to pay it. For today, I got one invitation from Regional to attend the workshop on digital media in end March, it means that Dega soon will be flying to BKK.  80% my task already done, and suddenly Mbak Dini asked to discuss about the poster and I remember I’ve request consultant to make the poster about the inequality of carbon trace in two different context, urban area and rural area...makes me inspiring to do more creative in term of text or something. Lunch time was so fun and we spent by creating the sisterhood atmosphere to sharing what we’ve been struggling! It is much empowered. What kind of advice out of our mouth for young girl: start appreciating and valueing your self, if not by you, then who? This circle makes me much enjoy in the office. Love!

From them, I got many stories and Mbak Susi who Has impession being cocky. She is not! She is very nice and funny. Jogja minded and told that she is difficult seeking home in Jakarta and will be kontrak forever. Hahaaha. Then I was home and found Dega still awaked.
