Kadang untuk bisa sekadar makan mi instan & baca novel saja aku harus nunggu tengah malam setelah Kinas (yang hobi banget begadang) akhirnya tidur nyenyak. Ini adalah salah satu perubahan dalam hidupku semenjak punya anak. (more…)

Buat Adik Semata Wayang
Aku dan adik semata wayangku, Dewi, punya perbedaan usia cukup jauh. Aku umur 9 tahun waktu Dewi lahir. Ibuku sempat keguguran dua kali sebelum akhirnya hamil Dewi. Waktu hamil Dewi itu pun ibuku sempat menginap di rumah sakit selama hampir seminggu karena morning sickness parah. Tapi alhamdulillah kandungan Ibu kuat dan beberapa bulan kemudian, tepatnya di pertengahan bulan Maret tahun 2000, Dewi lahir. (more…)

We’re Having a Baby!
We are so excited to announce that Ramadhana Kecil is due in early June 2018!
I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant and finally back on my feet after being miserable for weeks of being nauseated 24/7. The first trimester was not fun at all, but at least the baby and I are both healthy + thriving and that’s what really matters now.
Talk to you later, friends! xoxo

Eid Mubarak!
Whoa. Look at that. Two weeks without a single post.
I had planned to write a post before leaving for the holiday and another one to be scheduled to appear on last Tuesday, but I couldn’t find any spare time in between all the Eid shopping. And then we suddenly hit the road, with Miss Molly caged between my sister and me. It was Miss Molly’s first road trip ever. It took about 15 hours to get to my granny’s house in Lampung, and poor Miss Molly was stressed. She could adjust in just one night, though. The next morning she became herself again. She took long nap all the time.
By the way, Eid Mubarak!

Spontaneous Family Trip to Jogjakarta
My dad has always been full of surprises. One Saturday morning when I was in eleventh grade, he woke me up and said “Get up, dear. We’re going to Pangandaran.” I packed my bag, took a bath, and we left our house an hour later. That was the very first time I went to Pangandaran.
Last Sunday morning, he did that again. He told the whole family that he was going to Jogja to attend a meeting and asked us if we would like to go too. My mum had never been to Jogja, so she was in. But since I had a meeting on Sunday afternoon, the trip was postponed until the next morning. On Monday afternoon, the four of us arrived in Jogja.
Dad’s meeting was on Tuesday. While he was away, the rest of us stayed in our hotel room all day. It was sunny out there and we couldn’t stand the heat, so we decided to go shopping after dusk. We took a stroll around Malioboro and bought some stuffs that night. The next day, we checked out from our hotel early in the morning and left to Mendut and Borobudur. We didn’t stay very long there as it was so very super hot! We left at around 10 AM and went straight home. Twelve hours of driving and then we were finally home. The cats were super stoked to see us back (A fed them and took care of them while we were away. He’s the best cat daddy, ever!).
That was perhaps the only thing I like about this whole unemployment thing. It could possibly be the last spontaneous trip I could join, though, since I just got a job in an educational institution. I’ll start on Monday. It feels so fast but I really hope I can do it. Here’s to being a (real) adult!
