Do You Celebrate Thanksgiving? Uhm, No!

Fyyuuhh....this one is going to be tricky for me. And you know why. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. Gosh, you guys have many holidays in a row, huh? LoL

1. Tell us about you very favorite (yes we know that's redundant) Thanksgiving.
It's kinda boring LoL since my answer will be just simple: nothing. I enjoy watching movie about how people celebrate Thanksgiving by sitting together around a table and have a feast. If Halloween is famous with the pumpkin stuff, then Thanksgiving is well known for the turkey. Am I right?

2. What are you doing for Turkey Day this year?
Guess what? Nothing! (Grin)

3. If you were to go to somebody else’s house, what would be your favorite dish to bring?
Well, in our culture way, the most general kind of dish you usually bring is cake. Well, some may choose to bring fruits instead. But, we also bring something more special if the house we're about to visit is a close family member. We usually bring dishes cooked by my mom at home as a gift.

4. Tell us about the funniest person that you'll be with this Thanksgiving.
See #2!

5. What would surprise us to know about your Thanksgivings?
Uhm..Uhm..Nothing..

6. Does your usual mix of guests result in drama, or is it a group you’re happy to see?
I think everyone will have a bit of everything when talking about mix of guests. Right?

7. What did your family do for Thanksgiving when you were a kid? Do you still do it?
See #4!

8. We know you've been asked this probably 15 times this week. But share with us in 2010, what are you most thankful for?
I will always be thankful for everything we have right now. Especially for my second pregnancy right now. I think God bless us so much that I can't think to ask for anything for now. But, I will always pray that our family will be in His protection and never ending love.

9. Okay, the big question: are you going to 'attend' any of the "Black Friday" sales? ...and if you are, are you hard core serious like the 5 am "be there" crowd?
See #7!

PS: May I make the conclusion for you? All my answers above are totally boring LoL. Believe it or not, I think I'm going to cancel this post or delete it after couples of hours. Hahahaha..
But don't let this ruin your Thanksgiving celebration there. Have a great one, for sure! Xoxo

Boredom, Go Away!

1. When pigs fly I think we will see the sky turns pink once a week, assume those pigs will choose particular day to fly together. You better watch out when this day comes, cover your entire roof with something which absolutely water resistant, to prevent you from having pigs poop all over your roof. Just in case they have nasty feeling to poop while flying. This is a silly imagination LoL

2. What? Are you thinking about my silly imagination above seriously?!

3. Call me a dreamer. But I think it's okay to be a dreamer sometimes, especially when you get stuck with your daily activities which makes you become so numb and unable to feel anything anymore. I think once at a time you may find life we live is a bit boring and we need something to refresh our mind and make us smile. Dreaming or daydreaming is one of the fastest, cheapest and healthiest way for it. As long as you can control yourself from getting deeper and deeper with your dream until you forget about your real life responsibility, then it's okay to make a silly imagination sometimes.

4. Yes life can be boring sometimes,  if you know what I mean.

5. The most entertaining person in my life are my hubby and 3 years old daughter in their own different ways because hubby knows what kind of entertainment I want when I feel boring and help me get out of that situation. While my 3 years old daughter always entertains me with her simple and innocent saying and look. I love my life.

6. Well, I told you much about how to handle boredom in my own perspective. I definitely want to know your side of the story. So, who's next?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to do nothing, I will stay at home and spend more time to sleep. It rains a lot here and I don't feel like want to going anywhere now tomorrow my plans include nothing but staying at home also. And maybe on Sunday I want to visit my MIL's house and spend time with the in-laws.

The Hunt Of The Last Nazis

Have you ever watched a program on History Channel about The Last Nazis? I watched this program since last month and become a fan ever since. It’s about the hunt of war criminals that used to join NAZI and become part of Holocaust. At WW2, they’re all young soldiers with muscularly steady body and ready to do anything. But now, they’re just old men and almost senile. If you saw them without knowing any of their dark past as human slaughterers, you would have considered them as kind old men with big smile who greet everyone they met in the street with smile. But it will soon change after you know that they used to take part of killing thousand of Jewish people in Holocaust.
These war criminals are hunted for trial. They must pay for what they’ve done in their young age. And guess what, almost every one of them confesses that they’re innocent and blame all of it to other soldier or their superiors. How they couldn’t take responsibility for thing they didn’t do and they feel terribly humiliated by the media about this. But, don’t get tricked by all those wrinkles and their weakness of old age. They were sentenced guilty in court and were sent to jail for the rest of their lives. But the hunt is not over yet. There are many of these war criminals who appeared as untouchable. Some of them are incredibly rich and able to hide in different countries or bribe everyone to help them doing so. Including the “Doctor Death” who used to do some horrific and needles experiments using Jewish detainee to fulfill his need of slaughtering people, Aribert Heim. His experiments killed hundreds of people that time. What an evil monster. So, the hunt of the last Nazis is still going on.

Donald Trump

1. “A little more moderation would be good. Of course, my life hasn't exactly been one of moderation.”
Do you live your life by moderation or extremes?
I tend to live my life by moderation. I'm a kind of boring girl, you may say LoL. But I want to live in peacefully and know exactly what I'm going to do next. Just a simple me :)

2. “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.”
Have you ever thought someone was flirting with you in a work environment? What happened?
Yeah (wink) I've been through this many years ago. But I don't want to flirt in work environment. I met my hubby in totally different circumstance.

3. “As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.”
Have you ever “thought big” and you wound up crashing and burning?
LoL Yes! But I think I will keep it for my own LoL

4. “Everything in life is luck.”
Do you believe in luck? If not, do you feel it all happens to us for a reason?
I don't believe in luck. Every thing is this world happens for a reason. So, whatever I have right now will have a significant effect for my future.

5. “Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.”
Have you ever benefited big time because you declined an offer, investment, job (Well you get the idea.)?
I'm not sure about this. If I truly have, then it's completely out of my memory.

6. “I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.”
Tell us about someone that you know that has all the money they need.
I think no one will ever say "enough" when talking about money. No matter how much money you have, you will feel the urge to find more and more. Just like Uncle Scrooge LoL. So, I've never met one who ever say "I have all the money I need already" so far.

7. “I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.”
Do you think running your country like a business would be a good thing?
I think there's a significant difference between running a business and running a country. When you're running a business, all you think is about making profits. But you need to think deeper when you're running a country. You must pay attention to things such as social responsibility, patriotism, and stuff like that.

8. “I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.”
Do you live in the past in any way?
No.. Leave the past behind and seek for the future.

9. “If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.”
How are you at balancing work and pleasure?
Spare the weekends for my family. That's also a chance for you to recharge your battery while having some fun. And when you must deal with Monday again, you will smile and say: Bring it to me!

10.“Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.”
Tell us about a time that you won the battle but lost the war.
There so many times in my life when I have to deal with this situation. Trust me, it's not something that you want to hear nor read :)

Two Things I Thankful For

Two things I thankful for

1. My loving husband who’s been kind enough to buy me a new Blackberry to replace my old one which almost broken. I found that my old Blackberry doesn’t work as good as it was and it’s irritating me. I need to pull out the battery every time the screen starts to freeze for a long time. I know that it needs to be replaced with a new one. I can’t do anything to fix it anymore. And my hubby bought me a new one yesterday. Yay!

2. A friend of mine who kindly enough to accompany me contend my nervous when I need to drive my car again after four months absence. It gets me nervous especially when I sat in the driver’s seat for the first time (again) I hope I still remember everything. She directs me in a good way and brings my self esteem back. I can get over my nervous and manage to drive my car safely. LoL
Silly me

Happy Tuesday for you all out there

Wild Monkeys Near Danau Toba

Last week, we had a chance to visit the famous lake in Sumatera Utara (North Sumatra) Indonesia, Danau Toba (Toba Lake). I can't visit my hometown every month so every time we go there, we will always visit Danau Toba for sure. Since it's only less then 1 hour from my hometown.
We enjoy the beautiful scenery that time and my brother took his chance to swim. The weather was just perfect. When we arrived, it's been raining. But luckily it stopped several minutes later then replaced by the bright sunshine.
After a couple of hours in relaxing time, we decided to go home. We got a chance to stop by a few minutes to feed wild monkeys from the side of the road. Yes, so many monkeys were waiting there for visitors to stop by and gave them something to eat, such as banana or peanuts. We're lucky to find some of them came towards our car and stay right beside the car. We gave them peanuts and soon more monkeys were approaching. That's how I got this pictures.

 

But suddenly, they're all gone. Disappear! What's happening? It turns out that those monkeys run for their lives after they saw a monkey hunter carrying his gun approaching. Oh my God. How can people shoot and kill those adorable animals whatsoever? This bad man walks slowly and passes by our car. I hate him! I wish one day he will pay for what he did! Hunters are really bad persons! :(
And those cute monkeys never show up again even after the ugly hunter disappears from our sight. Something needs to be done to protect this wild monkeys soon!

It's About Me

1. If you could have any talent and turn it into an occupation, what would it be?
I really want to be a professional writer. I admire those people who loves to write and earn money from that. It's not easy to be a writer, though it may seem that all you need is just pen and paper. But I think imagination and thought are the most important yet difficult part.

2. Would you rather have a house at the beach or a cabin in the woods?
I love woods but I don't like to spend too much time in an quiet, gloomy and monotone place like that. I prefer the beach, where I can enjoy sun shine and hear the waves outside my house. Sounds tempting.

3. Is there any meaning or reasoning for the names you chose for your child/children?
Yes, for us a name is such a pray. We gave the best name for our child so that she will carry our pray with her for the rest of her life. Our daughter name, Agasha, taken from old Greek language which means kind or good. We hope life will treat her kindly and good and she will treat everyone kindly and good either.

4. What is your guilty pleasure? (I know we've done this one before, but I'm guessing people's "guilty pleasures" change frequently. At least, mine do!)
Once, I've been thinking about what's the worst thing is going to happen if the three of us (mu, hubby, daughter) just use all our savings and have an ultra fancy vacation in Eastern Europe. It will be great for us, but guess what will happen after the fun time over. LoL

5. Do you live in a house that is deep cleaned or straightened?
 I love to see my house clean and tidy in a normal way. But, my little daughter won't let me. So, the change my definition of clean and tidy quite a bit since we have her :)

Stephen King

As a fan of horror movies, I adore him and his fantasy about horror. And when October comes and Halloween in peeking from the front door, I think people will think about him more over. I think about him more too, especially when many of his famous horror movie were shown in TV these month.
Today's meme will quote some of his statements and see if you can connect yourself with him. Here is Stephen King.



1. “I tend to scare myself…”
When was the last time you scared yourself?
I can't remember if I never get scared of my own self. 

2. “Time heals all wounds…”
What was the longest it took you to recover from an illness, injury or surgery?
I think it will be Illness. I have allergic of seafood since I was a little girl. And doctor said that I was never going to be completely cured since it's in my blood. All I can do is make peace of it and avoid anything that could call my allergic back. That's why I don't eat seafood much.

3. “Your first impulse is to share good news. Your second is to club someone over the head with it…”
What was the last good news you had to share?
The newest one is we will fly to my hometown with the first flight tomorrow to attend my younger sister's wedding. I miss my hometown and all my family there. I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

4. “When it comes to the past, we all stack the deck…”
Is there something in your past you speak highly of that was not so great while you were going through it?
I think I have some of them which I can't share with you all here :)

5. “Do you drink? Of course! I just said I was a writer!..”
What do you need to drink to do?
I don't drink and I never had any pressure to drink before doing anything ever.

6. “If you liked being a teenager, then there’s something really wrong with you…”
What did you like about being a teenager?
Well, my teenager was fun enough, we still didn't familiar with bully or that stuff and we enjoy every moment we have spending time together without having to face the adults problem. Just fun and fun. In fact, we always love to share stories to each other about how we want to have the fun of teenage life back. I don't know about you guys LoL Is there something wrong with me then?

7. “Nobody likes a clown at midnight…”
What do you like at midnight?
Uninterrupted sleeping. That's what I need at midnight. Everything else can wait till the morning comes.

8. “It is the tale, not he who told it…”
Who is your favorite teller of tales or jokes?
I don't have a special one. I enjoy every jokes that I consider to be worth to hear.

9. “The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool…”
Were you ever conned or fooled into a scam?
Not yet. I hope I can prevent myself from getting anything like that.

10. “If fear cannot be articulated, then it can’t be conquered…”
What do you fear?
My fear is Cockroaches! I know, silly me. But I always jump like a crazy people every time I saw that nasty critter around me. I hate it's color and I hate it's bad smell the most.

Our Five Basic Freedoms

Just in case we forgot about our Five Basic Freedoms. There are so many violation to our rights in so many parts of this world. The authorities should able to guarantee these five freedoms to their citizens, otherwise we will only see chaos every where. I don't know whether you noticed or not, that the chaos is getting worse...everywhere...

Another Tainted Milk Scandal In China

I know that reality of our instant noodles scandal we had just few days a go is insane enough to make us all angry. How can there be people who able to produce kind of foods which consumed national (and international) wide with “garbage” inside. Such an irresponsible people! But, there is newest horrible news about tainted food which able to make you very mad also.
Recently, the authority of China (once again) must deal with tainted milk in infant formulas. It said that this tainted infant formula had caused a very bad effect to few infant girls in China. What kind of bad effect? These infant girl show signs of premature development which means they don’t grow as well as they supposed to be, including weight gain and height. I wonder what kind of poison was inside those tainted infant formula milk.
Infants are the most vulnerable persons in this world and they can’t even tell their parents if they feel sick or pain. Adults should protect them and help them to grow instead of feeding them with "poison" like this. Remember, those infants are the future leaders and if something bad happens to them, you can imagine what is going to happen in the next 50 years.
I hope this disaster will never happen in this country. Poisoning adult people is scandalous enough and disappointing millions of people already. Do not aim your evil mind to our precious future leaders by poisoning their infant formula milk whatsoever. Have mercy for God sake!

I'm so Proud of You All

1. What are you proud of?

I was addicted to Facebook's games almost this entire year. I manage to quit last month and remove all those application from my account. I finally realize that those games were really wasting my time :(
Thank God I can free myself from that addiction now.

4. How old were you when life changed the most for you? How did it change?
When I was 19 years old. I must move to a different town to enter university. It was hard to leave your hometown at the first time, especially when you realized that you must learn to be independent and able to manage your own self since your parents will be far away. That's the time when my life really changed :)

5. Tell us about a place you that you've been that you considered to be very tranquil.

Books and books and books. They always help me. I love books.

That's my entry fro this weekend, fellas.. Have a great weekend there.

Could Facebook Possibly Sell My Information?

For serious Facebookers like me (grin) I think there was time when we at least read one the ads on the side bar once. What do you say? Yes, I’m a serious Facebookers, I must admit. But not only for the social networking stuff for sure. My Facebook account is also seriously correlated with my three blogs. Theoretically, I use my Facebook account to spread my thoughts on blogs so that I will be able to expand my readers including my friends on Facebook. Surprisingly, my friends love my posts and that’s all I need to keep writing LoL.
Anyway, back to the ads topic above then. Please do an observation about what kind of ads do you have on your sidebar when you’re logged into your Facebook account. Well, I can tell you about mine. My sidebar ads are always about how homemakers like me could earn money from home (you must know what I mean; most of them are dbc network ads). Then I also often see ads about wonder bras, online boutiques, and medicinal herbs for women. I also see ads about parenting so many times. Then I realized that those ads are actually targeted to me as a stay at home mother.
According to some researches held by independent institutions, they conclude that there is a possibility that Facebook may sell their users information to advertisers so that they could make targeted ads. They found out that the sidebar ads offers may vary depends on information you gave on your account.
Theoretically, the reason why I keep seeing those dbc network ads along with the online shopping stuff, it’s because I describe myself as a stay at home mother on my account. When I was so addicted with games, I saw so many online games ads on my sidebar. But after I quit from those games, I never saw those ads again. That’s why I think that somehow I believe about the possibility that Facebook may sell my identity for this commercial purpose.
FYI, I locked all my information tightly so they're only available for my friends. So, if you’re not in my friends list, you won’t be able to collect information about me except reading my blogs and notes part. Not even my networks or friends of friends. And the third part which stores my every information would be Facebook itself. I never sell my information whatsoever, I’m sure none of my friends did. Then my finger is pointing on Facebook right now. They may share my information to the advertisers who obviously pay them for that commercial stuff, that’s why I got those targeted ads on my sidebar.
Facebook deny the fact that has been revealed through these researches and insists that they always keep their users information as secrets and forbid advertisers from trying to collect any information from users. And all I can say is: “Ya..ya..ya..I believe you did..” (GRIN) That's fine, I don't write any crucial information in my account, dear.
So, what kind of ads do you see in your sidebar now? Are they suitable to your information you gave to Facebook? ;)

My Friday Fill In

1. One of my strongest beliefs is Family. Hubby and kids are the center of my life right now. No one can ever mess with my family.

2. I saw a newborn baby on TV. His weight is 4 kilos. Wow, that's huge!

3. The sky is cloudy with a threat of rain and wind and cold, so I better close all my open windows and doors then sit in front of TV while playing with my daughter .

4. A chance to have spa and get massage this week is comforting to me.

5. I always thought I'd be a great mom for my kids in the future. And believe me, I try my best in every seconds of my life

6. I feel so lonely these past few days since hubby went out of town for business trips and then I went outside to look at the full moon.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to continue to read my newest novel, tomorrow my plans include cleaning the house and Sunday, I want to have extra sleep and going no where. What weird weekend! LoL

Our Local Instant Noodles Aren't Safe!

We must admit that people in Indonesia are so familiar with instant noodles whether you like it or not. Do you see how these instant noodles even become the most popular kind of food to send to certain disaster-stricken regions? I guess it’s all because this kind of noodles can be used for a long time without having to worry about them being rotten or damage and not to mention about the cheap price either. No wonder instant noodles can be found easily everywhere and preferred by most people here. Even the rich people love these noodles. They also love the various kinds of favors and the great taste as well. That’s why I told you that in this country, instant noodle has been so popular for so many years.
After reading news about how imported instant noodles from Indonesia have been banned and forbidden to sell in different countries, I felt so shocked. The most popular kind of food in my country which eaten by millions of people here were claimed as dangerous food and were banned! So what kind of food that we actually eat these years then? Have we consumed all those dangerous ingredients this whole time then?
I think the authority should take responsibility of this shame. There are so many food experts or institutes which able to investigate this problem right away. It’s not easy to forget something that has been last for so many years such as consuming these instant noodles. But I believe, if somehow the related experts or institutes claimed that certain instant noodles in Indonesia are hazardous and not worth to eat, people will voluntarily stop consuming it. Don’t make us all eat that garbage while people in different countries have found out about it and throw the noodles to the garbage can.
If it turns out that there’s nothing wrong with our local instant noodles, then fix that banned issue as soon as possible. Show them that we produce a safe and healthy kind of food which also prescribes by the international standard regulation.
All we need is you making an official statement whether local instant noodles safe or not and people will follow. Don’t just sit there and pretend that everything will get better real soon.We're still waiting!

Anyway, I want to display the latest award I got from a blogger friend, Jen in ~Ever After~ I'm sorry it took me so long to post is. But I want to thank you for your kindness, Jen. I really appreciate it :)

To My Dear And Loving Husband

Today is our 4th Anniversary. It's been four years since our wedding vow and we are still in love. Some said marriage sucks. But for us, marriage has been a huge blessing especially when we have our beautiful Asha with us. I pray that The Almighty God who put us together will teach us more about wisdom, respect, responsibilities and love. May God bless our family abundantly for the rest of our life.

***

If ever two were one, then surely we.

If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;

If ever wife was happy in a man,

Compare with me, ye women, if you can.

I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold

Or all the riches that the East doth hold.

       My love is such that rivers connot quench,

                                                         Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.

                                                         Thy love is such I can no way repay,

                                                            The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.

                                                           Then while we live, in love let's so persevere

                                                           That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Absolutely No Styrofoam For My Yoghurt!

I’m a big fan of frozen yoghurt from certain famous brand in Indonesia. I will stop by in the store at least once a week to buy my favorite yoghurt with fruit topping. As usual, I always buy the biggest package just to get more yoghurt inside LoL. The last time I checked, the biggest package call as “Share package” with three different toppings and served in a medium paper box. Last Saturday, I went there to buy my weekly frozen yoghurt and ordered the Share one.
The waitress offered me their new package called “Take Away” which apparently was bigger (yay!!) with four kinds of toppings for just small amount of extra money. I agreed instantly. I was going to get plenty of frozen yoghurt inside my paper box. Hmmm..... Well, they gave me good news and bad news at the same time and I was really disappointed with this Take Away package. Indeed, I got the yoghurt twice as much than I usually got, that’s the good news. And the bad news is that they also changed the container from a medium size paper box into a bigger size STYROFOAM BOX!! Oh…My…God!!!!
Though this new box is bigger than the old one, but it’s a Styrofoam for goodness sake! I wonder whether these people ever heard about Global Warming or not! I seldom find any stores which still use Styrofoam as container for their foods nowadays. But here, I found a big and famous company uses this poison thing as food container. I was SOO disappointed.
I sent email recently through their website and describe how disappointed I am with this new package. Though I love the frozen yoghurt but I will definitely endanger my own health by consuming food from Styrofoam box! That’s for sure. And the other thing is that I don’t want to buy food which also endangers my environment like this one. I do care about Global Warming and I don’t want to be a part of those who consciously refuse to pay more attention about how complicated is the situation we have right now.
I will absolutely stop buying their frozen yoghurt until they replace the poisonous Styrofoam box with another healthy and environmentally friendly container! I wrote this post to help spread the awareness about this Global Warming issue, my friends. Stop using any kind of garbage containers such as Styrofoam which can be very dangerous to your own health and your environment. Those big companies out there should find safer ways to sell their products. They must show their support to overcome this environmental issue instead of thinking about money..money..and money only!

They Have A Modern-Advanced Yet Empty School!

When I visit a blog from other country blogger yesterday, I found an interesting post about school. The blog itself contains many great photographs taken by the blog owner. In this post, he captured a big-modern building which looks empty and abandoned. Later I found out that the building is a school which temporarily closed due the strike initiated by the students of the school themselves. I found this school picture post as ironic.
In such a developed country like that, a modern and advanced school building has been neglected by the students. While here in Indonesia, students must struggle with dilapidated-plain building which we called as school. Can you see the ironic part?
In here, you need to pay plenty of money if you want to go to school for better education. If you can’t afford it, then you must satisfy yourself with the low quality kind of school where most of the teachers attend the class for just five or less days in a week. It’s a kind of school where you need to share one book with three or even four other students, because book is expensive and the school can’t afford it. It’s also a kind of school where you steadfastly accept the condition that your classroom’s roof is leak so that when the rain comes you must study in a wet-broken table. But from what I saw on TV, those students still put a big smile on their faces and listen to their teacher with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, in a far away country, the students indeed equipped with a modern and advanced building. With that kind of school, I don’t think that they need to share a book together in class just like students in Indonesia. They certainly use comfortable tables and chairs and never saw raindrops from their classroom’s leak roof. Every thing is completely equipped and well managed. But guess what happened! The students choose to strike and close their own school for unlimited time with various kinds of stupid reasons such as missing books or not enough holidays. Ironic!
