Desember 2011

Sepertinya jadi saat terberat buat gue...
Semua ujian muncul dari awal bulan ini
Kejadian yang di luar dugaan pun ada
Terpukul? Sangat...
But maybe I do deserve this...
I'm staying because God stays with me 'til the end..

D-3

Ha! I've never felt this nervous for an interview before ;p well maybe not nervous, but I just really want to know the result, that's all...
No no, it's not cheating... But it seems that getting this job may lead to a better and organize life, our life ;)
God knows better of what I need so I should actually enjoy the process of waiting :D don't u think so?

Which one?

What u want is not always what u need..
What u'll get is your need
So hopefully what I want is what I (we) need...
Pengeeeeeeen.... :p
I miss working...

Apple

Makin mudah aja ni akses... Tp waktu utk blogging jg semakin berkurang *nguap* Arka sudah tidur, saatnya tidur juga.... Mudah2an bisa bangun pagi utk berenang ;p (doubt it! Haha...)

journey with Arka

hohoho...
it's been a very long time that I've not written anything here...
in short, the baby was born on his 37th week through a caesarian sectional procedure. A healthy baby boy!
We had some  problem during our first months because we found out a bit late that he has tounge-tied problem.
Anyway, those stressful days had passed :) we made it through!
He's 6.5 months now. Healthy, cute (if I'm allowed to say it because all babies are cute!), and gaining weight more each day.. I love him! We love him :)
I've spent all those months with him and I was lucky that I didn't have to work (blessing in disguise that the company I worked for was having an internal restructuring and I was released for that reason...)
Now, I'm ready to get busy with the business again ;) we'll see where I'll work next...

week 36 to 37

This is my 36th going to 37th weeks of pregnancy.
It's getting closer and closer... and in my case it's very close because I'm having this so called Placenta Previa, in which the placenta is blocking the birth path. So, the way to deliver the baby is to have a surgery, a caesarian section procedure. The procedure is quite common nowadays and it's not as scary as it used to be as the doctor will only make a small cut to get the baby out

Thing that really needs to be taking care of is that I shouldn't experience severe contraction prior to the operation because it will harm the placenta. This is what's difficult. Why? Of course! Because I won't know when the contraction will happen and how. With the baby getting bigger now and with the age of pregnancy getting older, it's natural that I get some contractions as a result of the baby is reaching toward the birth path and the womb's getting ready to get him out :) but I can't have too much of it... :(

So now, I'm monitoring the move of the baby (he can't move too much as this may also harm the placenta, but he shouldn't move too little as well - so confusing! :D), the contraction that happen, and anything else that I experience. Luckily, I'm already starting my maternity leave so it'll be easier for me to do that because if I'm still working, I tend to forget that I need to monitor the baby - doesn't mean that I don't love you when I'm working baby... ;)

Anyway, I'm enjoying it... and we'll see what happen...
Wish me well!! ;)

mencari nama --- finding ne(a)mo(e)

finding a name for a child is not easy... I knew it already...
but knowing it and actually going through it, is actually give you different sense
all parents wants to give their children good names, of course...
so the search begun...
some start by determining the language... some by origin...
some people look around themselves to see a figure with good personality, heart, etc, and use the name - basically in a hope that the child will follow the footsteps of that good person
some use the internet...
some use the announcement of the "UMPTN" -- this is quite a story itself :)
some ask for their parents advices - or even ask their parents to name their future grandchild

me and my husband? what do we do? what happen to our process?? :p

I didn't really think of a name before last month, but time surely passed by so fast!! so we need to find a name soon...
my husband had already suggested some names, but I still had not given any at that time...
what I don't want is to give the same name as the name of my friend's children - if I obviously know their name, then I prefer other names. It's just that many varieties are better than just one variety, don't you think so? :D
also, I try to avoid that the name can be used as a joke - although, joke can come in many ways, so this is just a prevention that may not succeed... :p
what else, I want to give him a last name -- got it! :p

and I've suggested a middle name now!!! :D he likes the name, so I think we'll keep it
the homework is for the first name... any suggestion?? ;)

with no intention of joking about this process, we do laugh a lot when looking for a name... not because the names that came up are ugly or anything, but if we look at it, it's a fun process despite of its difficulties!

So... let's hope we'll get a good, proper name... that reflects our hopes and wishes for our child :)

For anyone reading this who's also looking for names... Good Luck!!

ngeblog berbobot?

sudah lama saya tidak menulis sesuatu yg "agak" berbobot di sini :p
lack of time.. lack of energy... you named it.. all the reason is available for it :)

kali ini.. sambil menunggu download yang tak kunjung  selesai - belum lagi install dan mengerjakan pekerjaan dari hasil download-an itu, rasanya perlu juga nge-blog :p

so let's get to the next title now.....
"mencari nama"

just found out

that blogrolling is no longger available?!!
well... I guess that will be alright :)

hey it works!

I tried to blog some days ago and did not manage to post anything..
Either there was something wrong with  blogger or my laptop is getting old :p (it is!)
Anyway... it's my 28th week this week... :) time flies... ;)

pitbull

Watched a film about 2 dogs and a cat this morning...
One of the dog is a pitbull and looked like Melan...
I miss her... :)

Goodbye Melan

Just two days ago I lost my dear dog.... Melan...
She was trying to jump over the fences, as she always did... but the leash was too short so it took her to her final resting place...

She's my only dog that I took care of from a puppy...
She almost died when she was 2 months old...
her siblings died, running out of blood because those Necator worms sucked up their blood... She was dying too...
I had her everyday on hand for medicine and food, and promised myself that I will take good care of her if she survive... and she did...

She became a healthy dog of no fear (except of me :p), full of energy and no trace of feeling any pain what so ever... This last one of course because she's a pitbull which is known as dog who understand no pain.
She had a several bloody fight with her big sister, but she didn't feel a thing... And it was just left me screaming seeing all those blood from both dogs...

She's not easy to handle sometimes, but she understood me or any other member of my family when we were sad or not in the good mood...
She seems to try to cheer everyone up every time she has the chance... even my little niece who's not yet 2 years old... Anyone would see it as frightening scene to see a small child with a big dog like her... but she won't ever harm her... it's a proven fact...
I won't cover the fact that she's quite stubborn as well.. especially when it comes to cat... -wonder if this cat vs dog will keep on going forever-
She's also quite naughty and is able to destroy many many things at home... :p
BUT... she's also afraid of the thunder... :)

She'd be 5 years old next year... A grown up at the human age...

I was supposed to take her from my parents home to my own house after the marriage, but there were several reason why we're not able to do it... One of them is that I was not in a good shape to handle an energetic pitbull during my first trimester...
I believe that everything happens for a reason.... even this incident...
I believe that there was reason why she survived the Necators and was there by my side for almost 5 years...
I believe that her presence in my family has given each one of us a memory to remember... a good one... and that we also learn a lot from it...
I believe that it's her time to leave us now...

Farewell Melan... Be in peace....
You know I'll love you always...
And I shouldn't shed a tears again now because I did that on the day you died... endlessly...
I know that you can understand why I'm not supposed to be sad anymore
I'll tell him the story about you when he's born later... I'm pretty sure he'll love you as much as I do...

week by week

Wow!! It's October already... I have left September empty... just like that.. :p

Baby news...
Everything seems to be fine... still copping with the vomiting, although it's getting much better now
Although there are still some days when I just have to vomit so hard that it feels like I'm emptying my stomach, and then collapse the next day - not literally :p, but just feel very weak. The good side is.. it's manageable now... I don't feel weak all day like before because I can always eat better in the afternoon after those bad days..

The doctor said that the baby is moving actively inside.. well, no wonder I feel quite sick.. someone is jumping around inside my stomach and you don't expect yourself to get sick?! please... :D *kiss baby kiss*
I've always been a sleeper... sleeping anywhere and anytime...
but with the baby, it's just getting worse... more and more!! haha... so fun!! :))

Work update...
I can work from home and come to the office twice a week, or more if needed :D this is nice, considering my condition last month ;) I have to admit that I'm a bit slow with work now... but I'm trying hard here...
Not so easy to work and to vomit at the same time :p but I get a lot of support from my husband... (love you!)
He drives me to work and pick me up again if I need to be at the office, and if you may not know, but his office and my office is very far apart... an hour drive if you're lucky... - since my office've just moved to another building which is located in the center of traffic jam!

Gossip update...
hmm... I'm a bit isolated from this one :p
we'll see if I can write anything this October and if anything is interesting enough to be written :p

strong baby

Wow... this is new to me!!
I'm getting myself weak for a baby!
Never thought that I'll be this weak when I have one, but this surely drains up all my energy... So I guess the baby is a strong one... ;)
Please stay healthy dear baby and help me keep up with your needs... :-*

B'day

hey! I missed my B'day on my blog. That rarely happens... :p
I'm 31 years and 5 days old now ;) haha...
With all the things happen lately, I forgive myself for not writing anything on my blog :p
Lack of time, lack of sleep, lack of many things... but on top of those things, I'm very happy :D

If you remember my post about resolution here, it all comes in stages... eventually...
A house, a dog (coming soon), and next one... :p
Let's hope everything is going to work well for me, that I'll always be healthy and strong to take this next one ;)
May God bless us always.. amen...

ps. Chris, I may not able to visit you on April if this one comes through, but wish all the best for me please :)

one by one

this resolution is truly realised..
step by step...
with all the hard works and all the efforts ...

We are now officially married... :) 26 June was our day.....
We now live in a small house, near a water channel (not in front of it though like what I've drawn before :p), and I'll bring Melan soon to our little house... And who knows what will be next... ;)

Let's hope our day and our way will always be blessed by the Owner of the Universe...
