5th month anniversary…

Gileeee…lama bener kagak ngeblog.

Well, i’m back now…hopefully this one will make me stick in to my pledge to update the blog ehm…regularly…amen…

Gak krasa, udah 5 bulan aja ganti status. Hahahahaa, you people out there, pasti ngetawain kaaan, 5 bulan mah blom ada apa-apanya. Memang sih, kalo bayi aja, mungkin baru maunya maem makanan padat ya, hahaha, but i prefer to write down all the things i feel, biarin, meski pada ngetawain hahahaha…

Well, for me, sbenernya ngejalanin the relationship itself nya gampang-gampang susah.Pasti ada masa-masa up and down nya, pasteeee… (hmhmhmm, i think ga usah diperinci detil ttg the ups and downs nya ya). So far kita bisa kerjasama sih, as a team, hope it will last forever, amen.

Nah,yang rada-rada bikin hati berat (cieeeh) sih, sebenernya, lokasi neh. Far far away from the family, ga jauh buanget ampe pisah benua sih, cuman pisah pulau. They are all in Java, whereas we are here in Celebes.  Padahal, sbenernya aku juga bukan anak mami banget, malah cenderung anak “jalanan” diriku ini (lebih suka di  jalan…huehehehe).  But,again, thank God, so far semuanya baik-baik sajahh, thanks for the invention of blackberry messenger juga sih, ^^v.

Nah, today, sbenernya kita ga nyadar kalo today anniversary bulanan ke-5 (jelek banget ya istilah nya, anniversary bulanan). Pas tadi sore abis si hubby pulang dari rumah sakit n kita baca koran bareng, baru nyadar deh, tanggalnya 21. Langsung deh, komat-kamit sambil ngitung jari, we’re official in our 5th month anniversary,dahhling…hihihi…

Mmmhmmm, no photo for this anniversary. Tau ga, entah knapa, aku lagi ngalamin radang jerawat nih. Seumur idup ampe sekarang,baru kali ini ngalamin yang namanya jerawat sejagung-jagung nongkring di skitar dagu n pipi bagian bawah. Seeediiihhh bangeeeddd. So, narcis mode:off dulu yaa…

Sebagai gantinya, aku uplot foto hal-hal yang aku temuin on the way to Poigar ya. Well, Poigar itu nama kecamatan sebenernya. Si hubby ada perlu ngedatengin pasien yang sesuai ama kasusnya, so kita bela-belain ke sana. Awalnya, kita pikir Poigar ini masih termasuk daerah kota Amurang, skitar 2 jam lebih dari Manado. Masih masuk daerah Minahasa Utara (Amurangnya). Sampe di daerah Poigar, gilee, ternyata yang namanya Poigar itu dibagi 3, nah yang tujuan kita, orang-orang nyebutnya Poigar Budidaya, n ternyata eh ternyata, si Poigar Budidaya ini masuk daerah Bolaang Mongondow.

Yah,mayan deh,jauhnya. Tapi buat seseorang yang udah biasa perjalanan Jember-Malang and vice versa (kira-kira 4-5 jam), perjalanan kemaren ga ada apa-apanya sih. Cuman, yang bikin beda, pemandangannya itu lho. Bener-bener jaws dropping dibikinnya. Ntar kalo ada kesempatan lagi, bakal takes more photos. Sepanjang jalanan, pantai, gunung, pantai, gunung lagi.  Beneran mantabsss. Cuman, bagi yang gampang mabok, ya harap sedia kantong plastik hihihihi. Rada berkelok-kelok sih medannya.

Oke deh, ini 2 hal dari beberapa hal yang aku temuin waktu on the way from Manado to Poigar and vice versa…

abaikan bayangan kotak tissue, perhatikan tulisan kreatip under the truck....

bukti kalau orang Indonesia, orang Minahasa khususnya, bener-bener menjunjung tinggi gotong-royong

Okay dah, sekian buat posting kali ini.

Oiya, buat menyambut konser Kelly Clarkson and commemorated my 5th month anniversary, mau quote mbak Kelly dikit…

‘Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

taken from the song My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson

Huhuhu.

I’ve just finished my labelling duty. Labelling here can be best described as putting the self adhesive label in front of the invitation card. Ehmmm, yes, they are my wedding invitation (background music: original classical wedding hymne). Since it will be held in Jakarta, I do not invite many people to come. Just some closest friends (the circle of series of sisterhood…^^) and some relatives n friends of the family who happened to be in Jakarta and surroundings.

things i've been dealing with for the last an hour...

things i've been dealing with for the last an hour...

I have a bad habit to procrastinate duty or errand that i thought would be difficult in the process. It happened this afternoon. Before I started to begin the labelling thingy (well, u know, u should print the name and address on the self  adhesive label, which is not have regular pattern. You should do the trial-and-error method to have it finished), i have a visual in my mind that it will be such an annoying activity that should not be done in the middle of a cozy sunday afternoon. Sounds toooo lazy, aren’t I?.

Then, i realize that i don’t have a printer back in Jember (i am currently in Malang) and it will draw more times to have my invitation cards sent, if  i did the duty in Jember. So, i put my lazy ass on the chair in front of the computer n starting to type a few names. I tried to print them on the back of the self adhesive labels. Of course I did not get the best result on the first shot. After I saw the first printing result, i managed to calculate how much row or column should i move or add. On the second trial, I got the bigger picture about how to put them right. Finally, on the third trial, I decided to print them directly to the blank white  self  adhesive label.

Silly me, i felt a little bit PROUD about my small success…(i do really embarass in admitting the proud feeling). I finished the duty not more than half  an hour. I’m very thankful that i made a best decision to do it right here right now in Malang.

Sometimes, in real life, i face some real problem that actually smaller than i have them in mind. But, it’s really the mind that has it set, so that it looks bigger than the actual. So, i have to start think the problem as big as the real one, and stop making my ability to solve them smaller than the actual.

Kesiyan, tapi mau numpahin marah ke siapa?

sakitBeberapa hari yang lalu, dengan amat sangat terpaksa, aku balik ke dokter buat kontrol perut yang ga segera beres dari masalah diare ini. Entah apa yang terjadi di dalam sono, masih ada suara-suara air bergemericik, sesekali diiringi suara gemuruh gitu hahaha, eh tapi ini beneran lho. Kata orang-orang sih, mungkin terlalu nervous mau merit. Hmmmh, masa sih?tapi ga tau juga ya..^^

Kurang beberapa jam mau berangkat, eh eh eh, ternyata si bibik di rumah bilang tenggorokannya serik n batuk. So, mamih nyuruh si dia ikutan periksa ke dokter juga. Berangkatlah kita ke dokter langganan (hehe, nadanya kayak “tukang sayur langganan” gitu ya,sori dok)

Sebelomnya aku rewind dulu, si bibik ini punya kebiasaan minum satu jenis obat yang sebenernya termasuk jenis obat alergi, namanya L*n*d*x*n, sebenernya udah dari kapan ari si mamih nyuruh si bibik ini berhenti, cuman menurut pengakuannya, dia udah minum sejak pertama kali nglahirin anaknya (fyi, anaknya 2, n udah punya 2 cucu juga dia). Pertama kali dia minum, “Dikasih sama ibu (=emaknya)sehabis nglahirkan”,gitu katanya.  Seluruh orang dewasa di desa dia minum, karna dianggap vitamin, yup, i repeat V-I-T-A-M-I-N…

Selidik punya selidik, menurut google efek samping dari obat ini peningkatan rangsangan getah bening, berkeringat, sakit kepala, luka yang tidak sembuh-sembuh, gangguan siklus haid, dan mempengaruhi pertumbuhan anak. Di kolom PERINGATAN & PERHATIAN tertulis:

  • Harus diberikan secara hati-hati pada penderita jantung, diabetes militus, kerusakan ginjal kronis, dan penderita usia lanjut.
  • Menekan gejala khusus penyakit infeksi.
  • Pemakaian jangka panjang harus dihentikan secara berkala

Gila juga si bibik ini, dibilangin kagak percaya, malah bilang,”Kalo saya ga minum, saya langsung lemes, ga bisa kerja, non”. So, sampe sebelum ke dokter itu, dia tiap hari tetep minum obat ini.

Akhirnya, karena aku pikir skalian lah, mungkin si bibik ga mau denger, karna yang bilang kita-kita, bukan dokter, sewaktu pak dokter nulisin resep, aku nyeletuk,”ini dok, dia punya kebiasaan minum L*n*d*x*n, sejak lama”. Pak dokter yang tadinya tenang sambil nulis resep, tiba-tiba berhenti nulis sambil agak melotot ke si bibik,”lho, jangan lho, obat itu selain menimbulkan efek ketagihan, juga pemakaian jangka panjang bikin tulang keropos, ngehantam maag, ginjal, dll”. Pak dokter nyuruh si bibik ngurangin pelan-pelan dosis tablet yang diminum. Terakhir sebelum balik lagi nulis resep, pak dokter ngadep ke aku sambil bilang,”Memang banyak orang yang seperti dia. Biasanya orang-orang yang cuman mau untung banyak. Padal obat jenis ini di Amerika gak bisa sembarangan beli”. Si bibik cuman manggut-manggut n senyum-senyum agak malu ke aku.

Waktu perjalanan pulang, aku nanya si bibik…

emang siapa yang jualan obat itu di desa?

ada orang, dateng naik mobil gitu

sampe sekarang orang-orang desa masih tetep minum obat ini?

iya,soalnya kalo ga lemes, non…

Sebegitu kejemnya dunia ya, sampai keselamatan orang juga dikorbankan, hanya demi kantong sendiri. Kesiyan bener mereka. Mungkin karena pernah ngeliat betapa tersiksanya my beloved grandma karna gangguan ginjalnya. Sakit ginjal itu ga murah lho, n belom lagi sakitnya yang macem-macem. Cuman bisa krasa miris, n berdoa supaya Tuhan beri kesehatan lebih untuk orang-orang yang sudah terbohongi.

Dan buat yang udah dengan tega ngebohongin, well, uang memang penting, tapi bukan yang terpenting, guys. Satu lagi, ada hukum tabur tuai lho, ato kalo sulit dimengerti, ada lho yang namanya karma. So, siap-siap aja deh…^^

Wahai teroris, mengacaunya jangan di Indonesia (lagi!!) yaa…dimanapun JANGAN!!!

Post Meta Posted by at 9:20 PM under queen's thought post a comment  3 Comments »

Kali ini udah bener-bener empet n ga habis pikir, apa guna, visi, misi dari menyakiti dan ngebunuh sesama manusia, sesama ciptaan Tuhan, yang sama-sama makan nasi, makan sayur, minum air, ngehirup udara, bahkan waktu lahir juga sama-sama telanjang. Apapun alasannya, well, sama sekali ga bisa diterima!!!

So, mohon pengampunan Tuhan Yang Maha Esa atas apa yang dilakukan mereka, dan segeralah bertobat, mumpung masih ada waktu…

Indonesia, jangan takut, mari kita bersatu…

mari bersatu...

mari bersatu...

First day of not having steady job…

“Segala sesuatu pasti ada awalnya…”,

gitu kata nyokap waktu sore-sore sebelum hari pertama masuk SD kelas satu…waktu itu perut udah mules,takut ga punya temen (pemikiran imut waktu kecil dulu yaa)…

Nah, ini juga yang aku rasain sekarang. Hari pertama tanpa pekerjaan tetapss… Sementara ada kakak salon (wuiiidiih) doing something on my hair, I can feel that I can’t make my mind to stop thinking about any kind of business yang bisa menghasilkan kkkkk demi keberlangsungan gaya hidup. Sbenernya sih sayang yah,udah resign skarang, Padal hari “H” masiiii…5 bulan lage. Apa daya, hal-hal yang harus diurus banyak pula (mengingat jarak Jember-Manado)…surat ini itu,foto prewed,ntar buat resepsi inih ituh…whuuuaahh…

Yah,kalo buka jadwal,memang 2-3 bulan ini udah packed ama schedule,apalagi bulan agustus ntar…cuman, kayaknya kegiatan-kegiatan yang meng”hasil”kan itu masih rada minim…hihihi…*plakplak*. But,I’ll do my best deh, mumpung masih belom diboyong (aiihh…)ke sono. Take more quality times with family n friends, especially with mom n aunties…can’t imagine away in Sulawesi without their laughs hahhahaa…

Well, me sooo likey, baca-baca biografi orang-orang terkenal,ato just “orang” ajah,tanpa embel-embel terkenal. Nowadays, di koran ato majalah, kan sering banget ada cerita sukses orang-orang yang kena phk,korban bom bali,ato lumpur lapindo,gimana mereka bangkit dari keterpurukan. Kayaknya, kayaknya neh, dirikuw lagi pada fase jatuh-n-mau-bangkit neh…kkkk…or, sbenernya I just have to be more relax a little,then ideas will come more n more???

*taken from: flickr.com

I’ve just come to a conclusion that the day, not the “w” day,it’s the engangement day. It has come closer, closer…

Kerasanya gini, this evening, around 3 o’clock p.m. I chatted with him.  It’ s different from our yesterday’s chattings. It was  about buying the airtickets. Airtickets for his family.also for himself. Which flight should he take and which time should he booked the tickets for the families members who will come to our engagement (which only a month and several days ahead…help help…)

Today, our discussion involved the vendors also.  Mostly I did the telephones and texting them.  Well, the end of the chatting thingy which was around 5 o’clock in the evening, we have made several appointments with the vendors. Starting from 1st August 2009 till almost the end of August 2009, there will be hard to find times to meet me (vendors, suppliers, please note this kkkkk…).

I never imagined that conducting an engagement and a wedding party from two places distracted by mountains and seas (Manado and Malang, Jember eventually after June 2009) will be this hard. Not easy, but yup, we’re survived. Please help us in prays.

And I think I should wrote all of the engagement I’ve made,so that I won’t miss some things.

Meanwhile, I have not packing all of my stuff since I have to move out from Malang base to Jember in the early of July, 2009. H-E-L-P!!!
p.s:do you guys notice that I use “I” to mention myself and will use “thequeenherself” or just simply “queen” in a quite relaxing moments. Which one do you like best?

Cannot sleep…

Post Meta Posted by at 12:22 AM under bukanpunyamana, queen's thought, the queen's bubbly words post a comment  4 Comments »

While I cannot sleep, some of my random thoughts burst out from my mind. They are the mixture of feelings,people,events,etc… campuraduk, kalo misal lagi bikin bubur gitu, kebablas udah jadi dodol deh…(apa hubungannya coba???). Fyi, the queen is having 80% bad flu…so, please dimaafin kalo ada salahsalah kata…

tentang SENANG

Senang tuh banyak macemnya, and entah baca darimana, kalo ga salah dari forward-an email jaman dulu n entah kenapa slalu ke-inget di benak, gini nih bunyinya (rada-rada queen ubah pake daily words ya..),“…sebelom seorang cewe enter the marriage world, dia harus bisa mengalahkan satu hal yang namanya LONELINESS…”…well, waktu itu I still cannot digest the sentence. Now, maybe I could a lil bit understand the meaning. That’s why I try to be more sensitive in taking event a small amount of happiness in my life…so, here are the lists for the things which make me happy lately…

  1. There will be 2 (two, yep, two) happy events in my big family, in the context of “engagement” ^^
  2. Senyum sepanjang hari kalo ada yang bilang,”eh, aku baca blog mu lho…entertaining” ato tiba-tiba ada sms ato message  yang nanyain,”kapan update, blog?” ^__________________^
  3. Banyak yang musti dipelajarin, makes me excited…
  4. Ketemu temen-temen baru gara-gara blog…
  5. Lately, kalo butuh something, eh, tiba-tiba ada yang ngasih, pengen something, tiba-tiba ada. Beberapa hari yang lalu, pengen banget denger lagu western jadul WE COULD BE IN LOVE-Lea Salonga n cowok itu…eeehhh, tiba-tiba begitu klik radio, terdengar tuh lagu…sampe ikutan nyanyi n nyuekin si sopir yang terbengong-bengong…

Sbenernya, kalo kita ga berusaha sensitip ama kebahagiaan-kebahagiaan kecil di skitar kita, ga mungkin juga kita ngerasainnya. Bener buangedh itu. So, dengan berusaha sensitip atas happiness-happiness kecil itu, menurut pengalamanku sih, bakal bikin pondasi yang kuat buat ngadepin masyalah-masyalah yang lebiii besaaarrrr…(jadi inget guru matematika waktu SMA, pak Manurung…^^)…and in my math’s formula form:

  • small hepiness+small hepiness+small hepiness = HAPPINESS
  • HAPPINESS > LONELINESS

fyi, the cold medicine is working…is working…

tentang WEDPREP

Dulu, sering baca kalo orang mau merit, banyak banget cobaannya, kalo ga yang ini dapet musibah yah pasangannya, ato malah lebih sering tengkar. Well, in my case, kayaknya justru karna too focus on the wedding nya, jadinya kedua belah pihak lebih sensi (dalam konteks negatip) terhadap segala hal. Jadi lupa kalo esensi dari wedding itchu ya, marriage nya sendiri. Thank God kita udah agak nyadar di awal-awal…hehehe..wish us luck and happiness yaaa guyss…

okey now, is really my sleeping time…

c ya all…

be careful of what u wish for…(so sad,but true…)

Post Meta Posted by at 10:27 PM under family, queen's thought post a comment  5 Comments »

After reading Livia’s post on Tentang Mertua , I recalled some thought that I’ve been keeping it in my mind (only!) for this long. Mungkin juga karna lagi sibuk-sibuknye mempersiapin hari “H” kali ye…

Hmhmhm, mungkin jaman-jaman kita masih imut dulu, kita keseringan dapet cerita-cerita miring tentang ibu tiri, disebarluaskan oleh perusahaan multinasional Disney, dengan Cinderella nya, trus heboh-heboh kasus Arie Hanggara taon 80-an (aku masih imuttt banget wkt itu hihihhi)…jadilah stereotype ibu tiri itu jahat, tukang siksa, tukang ga kasih makan, de-el-el…well, tapi, waktu mami re-married, kagak pernah sih terlintas kalo my stepfather bakal hajar sono-sini tanpa pandang bulu (kkkk…amit-amit), jadi, propaganda Disney kurang mempan buat dirikuw (ato karna ga dibikin cerita ttg bapak tiri ya…), singkat kata singkat cerita…mamih, papih, adik, n aku idup bahagia ever after…ceilleeee…

Nah…yang aneh, padal tanpa dipropaganda oleh siapa-siapa, cuman keseringan doang ngedengerin curhat para ibu-ibu, dari waktu kecil ampe udah waktunya (bukan maunya lho, tapi, i repeat, waktunya) punya anak gini, kalo mertua mreka bla-bla-bla…n of course lebih banyak negatif daripada positif nya, kayaknya want it or not here we come, jadi terpateri deh kalo mertua (apalagi mertua cewe) itu bisa dipastikan bawel, tukang cela (bukan tukang hajar lho..hehehe),de-el-el,…jadi deh, somehow, deep inside my mind bikin “permintaan” yang sayangnya,…terwujud…he had no parents anymore…

Then, ternyata, jaman udah berubah, n watak para mertua (terutama yang cewe) juga banyak berubah. Contohnya, ya mertua si Livia ini, trus ada lagi mamer (=mama mertua) my bestest friend yang meski idup di seberang lautan, tapi tak lupa kirim-kirim makanan, majalah, baju, tas, aksesori buat my lucky bestest friend ini. Belom lagi kapan ari waktu kita lagi runding ini itu, pokoknye tete-a-tete na pernikahan, dengan pelan he said, “i wish my parents were still alive…”…jadi ikutan sedih juga…

Well, we should ALWAYS see the bright side of every things happen in our life, but I think, we also have to be careful of what we wish for…u never know whether your wish is right for you…^^

Easier said, than done…

As i mentioned in my ABOUT page that i have lots of bestfriends, I have 3 bestfriends who i met when i was still  working in Surabaya around year 2000 to 2003. We unofficially called ourselves as dkny’s (ding, khat,n yuce, sofi). Then, one day, Yuce, Ding, and me went to Tunjungan Plaza, Surabaya (TP 3). After having lunch, 3 of us unintentionally went to the games area in which there was a huge boat namely Columbus (if i’m not mistaken, coz it’s been a while since the last time I went to Tunjungan Plaza 3). The boat was swinging and the passangers, who were mostly teenage girls, were screaming out loud, especially when the boat seemed would crack the mall’s ceiling.

Three of us were waiting in line (for the riding) and I said to Yuce (well, i think i should write in Indonesian, to make it understandable and get the “humourous” taste…^^)…

Khat (K): Halah, gitu ae jerat-jerit, ya memang mesti njerit seh, biarno asik, tapi yo gak usah segitune lah njerit e…(halah, gitu aja ngejerit-jerit, ya emang musti ngejerit sih biar asik, tapi ya ga usah segitunya lah yao—->in case you don’t understand the Suroboyoan hehehe)…

Yuce (Y): Iyo, mosok sampe kayak gitu yo…(iya, masak sampe segitunya—->I made this conversation with Yuce since I knew that she had been on that kind of riding)

Ding (D): (dengan lirikan tajam…)Iyo, pancene carik-carik perhatian kok arek-arek abg itu (= Iya, emang cari perhatian aja anak-anak abg itu…)

Y: Ding, emange kamu pernah tah naek ? (= emang kamu pernah naik?)

D: Gak

K&Y:????!!!??? (we looked at each other’s eyes)

Yup, and when we had our seat up in the Columbus and the boat started to swing, it was our beloved and cutest friend Ding whose screaming was the loudest one. Yuce and I could not hold our laugh and our stomach was sooooooo hurt because of that.

I think there are lots of things happen in our lives and also people around us. The good or the bad ones. Some of the things, especially the bad ones, sometimes come to us with some warnings or at the worst part, there are no warning at all. Most of the time, it is not that we do not know the result from the action we will do or have done. Sometimes it is the X factor that made us do some particular action.

Some of my bestfriends (or people who really care about me, especially my future)have given me some warnings about what I have been chosen lately. And it is not that i do not know the consequences if i choose it. Yes, I clearly know about it. But guys, I have confirmed it all with my Boss. So, don’t you all worry about it. I just have to strengthen myself. Maybe i should take more hours in excersizing. But, thank you all for the warnings.

I remember some years a go, I have been in the place of the “warning-givers”. Believe me!. It’s easier said than done.

That’s why the thing happened on me lately had reminisced me about Ding and the boat. (ehm,…fyi, my friend Ding now is expecting her second son…^^)…

Well, c’est la vie…
