Unforgettable Moments - A Review of 2012

We will meet the end of 2012 very soon. Wohaaa, time does fly so fast. But, well, before it is end, let's make what-so-called-annual-review in details, like I always do on the previous years. It's always so nice for me to look over what have happened on this whole year. If it refers to my wish list for this year, I could say almost of them come true. Thanks to Allah for being so generous to me.

Pregnant

In this year my pregnancy was in the second and third trimester. On February, we had Tingkeban or Tujuh Bulanan (a-tradional-javanese-baby shower) for the baby inside.

Gave a birth

It was a very blessing-amazing-unforgettable-moment that I could give a birth normally, in short time without feel extra pain. Thanks to my husband who accompanied me during the process. Thanks a lot for your patience to help me do anything while I was still on recovery time.

Breastfeeding

I love this moment a lot. Whenever I breastfeed my baby, I feel I'm loved and needed. Thanks to Allah for giving me so much breastmilk for my baby. It's more than enough. And it's beyond my imagination that I could share my breastmilk to four other babies. I'm proud to be a breastfeeding mom. I'm proud that I'm could still breastfeed till this time. I'm proud that I could get my baby exclusively breastfed. I'm indeed thanks to my stubborn to fight for this. You know, I live in the middle of people who often underestimate and make me down. They act like they're an expert on breastfeeding and parenting despite the fact that their arguments are sometime totally wrong. Without it, everything wouldn't be like this.

Having a super baby boy

How blessed I am to have Bintang in my life. He makes my life and our family more complete. He's so cute and smart. He often makes me surprise, that a little baby boy likes him could do something and understand what I said and told to him.

Enjoy motherhood

Being pregnant, gave a birth and breastfeeding are progress of events that make me feel complete as a woman. Yes, I'm so damn blessed. I'm now enjoying my motherhood although it is never easy. But, don't you worry, you will find a lot of unpredictable things. Yes, being a mother is about discovering strengths you didn't know you had and dealing with fears you never knew exsisted (Sherene Simon)

Took an English Class at IALF

Finally, my dream to to have a class here came true. To good to be true that I got it for free. Yes, it because my office have paid all of the fees :)

Took Maternity Shoot

The pictures taken maybe were not really good, but the most important thing is the memory that last. *cheer myself up :p

Trip to Bali
It was my business trip actually, but I still could did some things fun there. Enjoy the food, the beach and the traditional culture.

New (smart) phone

Thanks to my beloved husband who has bought it for me. Aaah, although he's not romantic, he's very kind, he knows me show well and who to treat me right. Love you so much yangkuw :* :*

These are my stories, what about you?? :D

Nasi Pupuk

Nasi Pupuk adalah Nasi Campur khas Madiun. Biasa ada di resepsi perkawinan dengan konsep tradisional, bukan prasmanan. Makanya biasa juga disebut Nasi Manten. Isinya adalah sambal goreng (bisa sambel goreng kentang, krecek, ati, daging, atau printil), opor ayam (bisa juga diganti opor telur), acar mentah dan krupuk udang. Berhubung sudah lama tidak ke mantenan tradisional, jadi aku sudah lama banget tidak menikmatinya. So, membuat sendirilah pilihannya. Soalnya tidak ada mantenan dalam waktu dekat juga. Hehehe. Alhamdulillah bisa makan dengan puas :) Happy cooking, happy eating.

[Review] Urban Wagyu: Makan Steak di Rumah

tenderloin steak rib eye steak Sejak kapan itu pengen makan steak, cuma suami keluar kota terus. Lalu, lihat feed IG kok nemu steak yang bisa delivery. Tergodalah aku untuk ikut beli di @urbanwagyu . Mereka adalah steak house yang melayani delivery order saja, karena untuk sementara belum ada restonya. "Wah, seru nih bisa makan steak di rumah", pikirku. Pesananku: rib eye well done, mashed potato, mixed vegies, extra grilled baby potato dg mushroom sauce. Sedangkan pesanan suami: tenderloin well done, french fries, mix vegies dengan black pepper sauce. Pesanan kami datang dengan kemasan box cokelat ala pizza dengan keterangan tentang detail pesanan di salah satu sisinya. Dagingnya dibungkus alumunium foil, saus dibungkus cup plastik dan diberikan peralatan makan dari plastik dan dilengkapi dengan saus tomat dan sambal sachet. Reviewnya sebagai berikut: Dagingnya empuk banget, bisa dipotong dengan peralatan makan plastik. Lembut ...

Cerita Tentang Pesawat Terbang

To invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something. But to fly is everything. (Otto Lilienthal) Naik pesawat terbang buat sebagian orang adalah makanan sehari-hari. Surabaya - Jakarta bisa PP dalam sehari, lalu esoknya terbang ke kota lainnya lagi. Tapi, bagi sebagian orang naik pesawat terbang adalah kemewahan, atau malah masih sekedar harapan. Aku ingat betul, ketika aku masih kecil, sumuran anak taman kanak-kanak, aku punya cita-cita naik pesawat. Setiap kali ada pesawat terbang melintas, aku mendongakkan kepala dan melambaikan tangan. Seusai ritual itu, aku akan bertanya "Bu, kapan aku bisa naik pesawat". "Nanti kalau kamu sudah besar, belajar yang rajin ya", jawab Ibu. Pada saat itu aku cuma mengangguk, tidak menanyakan lebih lanjut apa hubungan antara naik pesawat dengan rajin belajar. Yang pasti, mimpi itu tetap terpatri. Ketika usiaku semakin bertambah, aku menjadi lebih paham bahwa sebenarnya naik pesawat tidak masuk...
