It's Five Days Left!

Packing-Packing-Packing Five-Days-Left

We will visit my hometown this Thursday to attend my sister’s wedding. I’m a very well organized mom (almost like a freak! LoL) and I prefer to pack our belongings a few days earlier before the departure. Then I hope I won’t forget anything and spend more time relaxing on Wednesday night. Yes, that’s me LoL. I will be busy packaging from this day until Tuesday then I’ll be free on Wednesday. We usually use that day to buy gifts for our family members in my hometown.
Our trip will be quite long since we need to stop and change the plane in our capital city first. It would be just fine for two adults like hubby and me. But I think it would be an exhausting trip for our 3y old daughter. We must keep her as comfortable as we can. We already bought her favorite candies to accompany her in the plane, so that she can forget about the buzzing she got during take off or landing. It’s sad to see her rubbing her ears to ease the uncomfortable feeling. These candies usually work to make her busy LoL
But the most important thing is I hope we will arrive safely in my hometown. I can’t wait to see my parents and siblings there. Well, I'll see them in the next five days :)
Have a nice weekend everyone..

Welcome Back, Saturday

Welcome back, Saturday! We’ve missed you.. I hope you enjoy your Saturday there my friends and this is my entry for Saturday Nine.
1. Where were you the last time that someone welcomed you back?
Last year, we stayed in a different town for at least five month. It was the first time for me to leave my hometown for that long. It was so sad but we had to go because my hubby was placed in that new town from his office. We decided to come along with him since we don’t want to be left “alone” in my hometown. Fortunately, that placement was only for five months and we had a chance to be back to my hometown. My family welcomed us back happily. And right now, we are staying in a different town since two months a go and we’ll stay here for further notice from hubby’s office. I’m sure when we go back to my hometown one day, my family will welcome us back once again (lol)

2. Tell us who is you favorite non-family member to hang out with?
Never hang out again with anyone other than my family members after got married. All my friends live in different town and far away from me. When I had a chance to hang out it would be with hubby and my daughter usually on the weekend. I hate to go outside by myself. It’s not fun. Sometimes, when hubby’s not around I can hang out with my sister in law couples of time.

3. What was the last thing that happened to anger you?
I asked someone to do the grocery shopping for me last week. I didn’t do it for free as I pay her properly and she already agrees to deliver my groceries the day after. I can’t manage to shop on my own since I had something I need to do urgently. Meanwhile I was running out of stock that’s why I asked her to shop for me. Somehow, for uncertain reason, she didn’t come to deliver my groceries that day. I called her but she didn’t pick up. I was so angry. I’m not sure whether she already did that shopping or not. If only she called me to say that she has something important to do at that time I can easily find someone else to replace her. Not just vanished without a trace and left me with uncertainty.

4. What was the last thing that you saw that was shocking to see?
A friend of mine sent me a video few days a go. It’s about a doctor who is having a recorded forensic surgery. I’ve never seen such a thing like that before. It was so horrible and I decided to delete that video right away. I sent a furious email to him and told him to stop sending me email like that. I really hate it.

5. What is your favorite thing to do on Saturday besides Saturday 9?
Saturday has always been my favorite thing. We usually spend time together the entire day and have some fun. Forget about lying in couch and have a relaxing time. Saturday is about going outside and do everything that you can’t usually do on weekdays.

6. Have you had your summer vacation yet? If yes tell us about it.
We don’t have summer here, my friends. The sun is shining along the year and we can have our ‘summer vacation’ anytime we like. Well, as long as it doesn’t rain of course. My favorite one is visiting Lake Toba back in my hometown. I always love that place and grab every chance I have to go there for a vacation.

7. Pick out one of your cousins and tell us about them.
My cousins? Well, I don’t know my cousins well enough to share story for you. We only see each other about twice in a year when we were kid. We never meet as adults until now. Sorry :)

8. Do you have any special plans for next week?
As a matter of fact I have a special plan. But it’s not for next week. We are planning to go to Bali for a family vacation in the next two weeks. Yaayy… Have you ever been to Bali before? Then have a vacation there. It is a paradise!

Kuta, Bali

9. At what age will you consider yourself old and why?
I don’t know. I don’t want to think that I’m going to be an old lady one day for now. I think I’ll find out about it when I get there (lol)

Words From Lyrics

I love songs. So if somehow I got a “job” to find a particular song using certain words, I’ll be happy to do it. Below are some words which provided by The Queen and I must find a song that contain those words on the lyric. I will definitely choose the songs I’m familiar with. So, if somehow you don’t recognize the songs I’m really sorry.

Want

“I Want To Spend My Life Time Loving You” by Marc Anthony and Tina Arena
This is an Original Sound Track (OST) of Zorro. I love to see Catherine Zeta Jones in this movie. Gorgeous!

Hell

*I would do anything for love, I’d run right into hell and back* “I’d Do Anything For Love” by Meatloaf.
This is a 12 minutes song. That’s the reason I remember it (lol)

Smack

*Flows smack you wit the rubber grip* “It’s Your Life” by Ja Rule
I love the lyrics and How Ja Rule sings this song.

Ugly

*Even when I'm ugly he still better love me* “Any Man of Mine” by Shania Twain.
This was my favorite song back in college few 10 years ago

Beast

*Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried* “Lady Marmalade” by Christina Aguilera.
I looooveeee this song. Never gonna get bored of it (lol)

Romeo

*This romeo is bleeding, but you can’t see his blood”* “Always” by Bonjovi
Bonjovi was my favorite band when I was a teenager. I miss their songs.

God

*Thank God I found you, I was lost without you* “Thank God I Found You” by Mariah Carey feat 98 Degrees. I love Mariah. That’s the main reason I pick this song.
Enjoy then

Friday Random Questions

Mama M helped me provide a topic for my blog this bright and shiny Friday. She actually doesn’t have a particular theme for her meme, but I enjoy it so far. Now, here comes the Friday meme.

1. What were your school colors?
In Indonesia, students must wear uniforms from Kindergarten u/t Senior High School. You will be freed from this rule when you graduated from Senior High School and enter the college/university.
These are my school colors then:
Kindergarten: white shirt and light blue overall

Primary School: white shirt and short dark red skirt

Junior High School: white shirt and short dark blue skirt

Senior High School: white shirt and short gray skirt

Apparently, student’s uniforms nowadays may vary. There days, you can easily find students wearing different color from what we wore many years ago. I guess time has changed and there is no particular specification anymore about this.

2. What's the best compliment you ever received?
When someone says: "Your daughter is smart and beautiful" or "Looks like you have a happy marriage life"
Those words can take me to the sky instantly (lol)

3. Do you buy cheap or expensive toilet paper?
The cheap one of course! I don’t want to spend extra money to buy something that I certainly will throw away into the garbage can right after used (lol). I can spend extra money for scented candles for my bathroom instead.

4. Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? Or have you had one for someone else?
Not yet *crying* I really want somebody to make a surprise party for me one day. Could you arrange one for me please? *grin* And to be honest I never had one for someone else either.

5. What is one material possession that you "can't live without"?
There is more than one thing actually. But if I have to make a choice, then I’ll choose “My Glasses” I can not live without it. How can I recognize you someday if I can only see blur in your face, right? Hahaha...

None of Your Business

1. What is the most common question that you are asked (in life) that is none of the questioner's business?

“When will you have your second child? Your first daughter is big enough to meet a little brother or sister”
Oh, please. Mind your own business. My husband and I have our own plan.

2. Who makes you happiest right now?
My daughter, Asha. She’s celebrating her 3rd birthday right now. I’m so happy for her.

3. Would you consider yourself to be spoiled?
Nope. And I don’t want to be a spoiled one ever!

4. Do you want to be famous one day?
Nope. I’m a kind of person who respects privacy. I don’t want to thrust my nose into someone else’s privacy just like I don’t want anyone else to interfere in my business.

5. Could you handle being in the military?
Absolutely not!

6. Do you believe in Karma?
Yes, I do. What you give, you get back.

7. What’s the stupidest thing you ever did with your cell phone?
I installed too many application into my Blackberry (lol) Guess what I got! Malfunction!

8. Who knows a secret or two about you?
My hubby knows everything about me.

9. Who is the most experimental person you know?
I am an experimental person myself (lol). Sometimes I got good results but sometimes I got the worse ones.

10. Last thing you did that ticked off your S/O (or if not in a relationship) most recent S/O?
See my answer to number 1 up there. Very annoying person.

11. Have you ever purposely been irritating to someone? If yes, explain.
I try not to. If I found a person is being irritating, I always get myself out of there and find something else to do. So that I can refrain from trying to irritate them back (lol)

12. What's crazy to you?
Parents who torture their own children. Absolutely crazy!

13. Who (other than the three of us TT writers) writes the most interesting blog?
Every blog I’ve visited is interesting. And the three of you are some of them (lol)

I dedicate this post to Thursday Thunks.

Status Shuffle

Tonight, I just want to make a short post here, ladies. I want to find out your opinions about my Facebook’s status here. Well, actually it’s just a quotation from Status Shuffle that I like. I seldom use my own words recently, since I always find suitable quotation from this Status Shuffle. Especially about topics that I really want to share my friends about.

Today, I picked one of the “marriage quotations” there that I really love. If you can’t read them in the picture above, I will rewrite them for you.

Sometimes I wonder why I have such an awesome husband...then today I realized it's because I am such an awesome wife

Well, I got few responses for this status. One MOM, one WIFE, and two other FEMALES like this. Meanwhile, one female friend gave a funny yet belittled comment and one husband thought that I was some kind of narciss wife.

So, I want to read your opinion, especially WIVES out there. What do you have in mind about that statement? Can wait to see ya…xoxo

Anyway, for you who still wondering about what is Status Shuffle, its a kind of widget who provides you thousands of statuses to pick. You know, sometimes you just run out of idea and want to find other source to help you. This can be useful too when you have something in mind that you want to share on your Facebook or Twitter, but you can't pick the right words to write on. Status Shuffle may help you by providing thousands of choices based on the theme you like. You can find a lots of themes in there such as marriage, hate, weekend, friendship, etc.

For me, its a fun way to show my feeling and emotion. Sometimes, you can also find funny status that can make you laugh and willing to share it to your friends. So, enjoy it

Red-White-Blue Monday

a sprocket found in the backseat. Hello my friends. How’s your weekend? I hope it’s as fun as mine. We didn’t go to a special place yesterday; just use our blue CAR to buy some foods for lunch. Actually, we planed to buy a large red pepperoni PIZZA but we changed our mind after seeing so many people were on the line. Queuing. No..no..no..we must find other place to go.

Finally we went to a shopping mall and have lunch in one of few restaurants there. What I like about shopping mall is that you may see many peculiar things happen around you. Yesterday, I saw a beautiful red hair WOMAN walked together with a white hair MAN. In this case, I’m talking about the literal meaning, people. The woman was so young (I bet she’s a teenager) but the man was so damn old. I think they’re absolutely not father and daughter since they’re busy kissing each other in a public area. Mouth to mouth! Oh my God, what is happening with this world we’re live in?

We walked away from the "red-flag" STUPID event as fast as we can and left a lot of people watching those love birds in motion. We have our little daughter with us, for God sake! We hurried into the kids section. I need to buy some stuff for my daughter, Asha. I bought her few blue UNDERWEARS and white SOCKS. There we meet TWIN sisters whose mother’s busy choosing suitable blue shoes for each of them. I love twins. It’s amazing to be able to see two people with almost the same shape of face, hair, eyes, and etc. While I only got me. (lol) Sometimes I hardly put some imagination inside my head about having a twin sister walking beside me. I think it would be fun. We will use exactly the same outfits so people couldn’t see the differences between us. Hahaha..

Anyway, I actually write this post to join HARRIET’s RED-WHITE-BLUE meme. She actually asked everyone to write a sentence about certain words using those three colors inside. But, somehow it reminds me of my English class when I was in primary school (lol) so I choose to write them on just like a story. I think this RED-BLUE-WHITE meme is a SMART idea to start this blue MONDAY. As you know, not everyone loves Monday. SERIOUSLY! And feel free to join, my dear friends, if you find this interesting.

Enjoy the rest of your day there. I’m sure most of you are busy doing your routine activities right now. So where ever you go, using train or red BUS, at work or at school, Have a great MONDAY. Stay SMART and SEXY! Hahaha…

Finally, I got all those 15 words inside this post. Thanks, Harriet  

Answer The Questions

Its Friday and I want to join a Friday meme today, my friends. A Friday meme by Mama M.
I got five questions to answers and here they are..

1. Do you know how to play a musical instrument?

Yeah.. I can play guitar and piano. But I love guitar the most since I can play it alone and quietly anytime I like.

2. What is your pet peeve while driving?

People who drive too slow or two fast. I hate them both. Why don't you drive your car in a normal speed anyway?

3. Would you rather have a housekeeper or unlimited spa services?

Well, I think I'd rather have a housekeeper, ladies. Thus, I can go to have spa in a real spa center and still have somebody take care of my house when I'm enjoying my spa at that time (lol).

4. Is there a song that you hear that will take you back to the moment, like a junior high or high school dance?

Gee.. I've just post one of my old favorite song on my Facebook status yesterday, complete with the video link. Then this question suddenly comes up today. What a surprise! Lol
The tittle is "Kemesraan" by Chrisye. It's an Indonesian song that could take me back to my junior and senior high school time. I think the perfect translation for this "Kemesraan" will be "Togetherness" although you can also interprete this word as "intimacy"

5. What song best represents your life right now?

I have a few songs that precisely represent my life right now. But I think I'm going to choose:
"I FEEL GOOD"
by: James Brown

Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got you


Whoa! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you

When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm


and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you


Whoa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would
So good, so good, I got you
So good, so good, I got you
So good, so good, I got you
HEY!!

(Hahahaha... I love this song very much. And I really want to feel good all the time also)

Monetizing your Twitter Account

Call me a stay at home mother, but I earn money from my living room, fellas...(lol)..
Monetizing my blogs? Checked!
Monetizing my Twitter account? Checked!

I'm not kidding. Somebody has just bought my twitter account to display their ads for a month.
They will pay me $4.80 for this. And what should I do then? Absolutely nothing! Just sit and leave the tweets thing to them. That's all.

Do you have a Twitter account? If you do, have you monetizing it already?
I have this Twitter account for almost one year, but I don't use it much. I'm not a real twitter. I choose Facebook better because on Facebook I can play many online games. That's all.

I know an application called Twitterfeed that can be used to show your latest post directly from your blog using rss feed. And I use the application to make my blogs more popular and well known. But, that's all. I don't tweet much either. I just thought that this account will have its own uses one day. And I finally got it. It can be monetized. So, this account can help me earn money also. What do you think?

If you have a Twitter account, you better monetize it too, folks. All you need to do is just have an account on Twittad.com. If you don't mind, you can be my referral and help me earn more money by registering here...(lol)

And they will find advertisers that will suit to your profile. You just wait for the notification email they will send to you. After that, just follow the simple step and woaallaahhh...your account is ready for the advertiser tweets. How about it? Interesting? Register now....

By the way, how is your weekend? I hope it's as fun as mine. God bless and have a nice day...

The Two Things

I got two things to share today, my friends. The first one is my waiting is finally over. The day after I post my article a few days ago, I got a reply telling me that they already fixed the problem. My new link has been updated correctly from the system so I can continue my job. Actually, I already wrote the complete article three days ago. The only problem was I couldn’t submit the complete review to the system to complete the whole process. That’s all. If I don’t submit it, my job will be useless. Right after the link fixed, I submit the link successfully as you may see it on my site.

Thanks to Support Team.

The next thing I want to share is I won the giveaway, fellas!

This is my first time and I can’t believe I’m the winner. I got $15 certificate. You know, the hilarious part of this is that I only need to leave a comment on that page and follow the blog they asked me to. That’s all. After that, all I need is waiting. If I’m lucky enough, I’ll be the winner. And I’m the luckiest one, this time (lol)

This giveaway stuff is commonly found on American blogs. I visit many blogs from there and I found out about the same kind of giveaway articles so many times. At first, I’m not so interested since I realize I came from a very far away country (lol). There’s no way I can win a giveaway like that. But, when I saw this Five Mom and A Blog Giveaway, I just want to try my luck. I follow the roll play and walaaahhh….I won. Isn’t that fabulous? I think I’m going to follow every giveaway I found in the next time (lol)

This two things are the perfect reason to spend the rest of this week. I feel great!! I hope you have a great week too there. Have Fun...
