Bathroom Quote

Bathroom is often being a place where lots of thinking happened.

This morning, some random circumstances in the family make me come up with this thinking :

When your skills aren’t even half-good as the talented one, the only thing that left is double your stubborness and work ten times harder. That way you might catch them up. Yes, might. Some people are born with those pure luck who couldn’t be beaten even by the hardest work.

But, one thing to be sure, no talent shows good results without any hard work.”

Happy Sunday!

Shocking stats

Something unusual happened last nite. Out of nothing, I had notifications telling me that this blog stats were booming. The last time I checked, there were 147 visitors and 300 views. In one nite.

I have been keeping this blog since 2010, when the internet at home was established. I wrote on diary before for a very long time. Long time means from my elementary years-2010. And I keep all those diaries till now.

I decided to make a blog merely to replace those diaries. I like to re-read them. But, I can do that only at home to keep it safe from others. So, this blog actually only means for my personal record. No one knows until last nite.

A friend from twitter suddenly told me that she just read my blog. It was pretty,well, shocking. I didn’t realize I put the address on my twitter bio. It feels weird to know that people reading my diary -_-

Every social media such blog,twitter,instagram that I have, its purpose is only for my personal record and to enjoy other’s. That is why I don’t follow many people on twitter, instagram, or blog. I also don’t really concern about being followed. I selectively follow certain people whose tweets I enjoy reading and whose pictures I enjoy looking at.

I tweet quite often, post a picture on instagram several times and write whenever I feel like to write on blog. I have no worries that people would read,comment,or judge about my tweets,pictures, or writing.

So, last nite was quite funny for me to know that there were people who viewed and read those ordinary writing.

In spite of what happened last nite, I prefer keep flying low.

Current state

Honest or dishonest?

Dishonest : so so. I am fine.

Honest : unhappy. Like much.

Maybe due to exhaustion, boredom, loneliness, dissapointment, and several things lost recently, such as works and me time routine. Meanwhile, endless house works only make it worse.

Sometimes, I feel like trapped here with all those stuff I have to do. I just can ignore it actually, but I can’t.

Update :
It is getting sucker and sucker. If only my mum were still here and healthy, I would not stay here at all.

Never mind the houseworks, I don’t really mind doing all those with very little help. What bothers is that everyone think that I am such a housekeeper.

Won’t go any details. I just want to escape from here. I am tired of everyone’s selfishness.

Old text

Having Langit is truly one of the greatest things happen in my life. Several times when I am looking at her, it is a bit hard to believe that this little funny girl, yes, she has many funny faces:)), is truly my daughter.

Few years back then, I had no idea of me having a child, let alone a child, even a marriage was sound too scary. I enjoyed my comfort zone with my family.

The term family now has been altered since I have my own. It reminds me how things really change, or really have to change one day. I never imagine living without my mum before. Having a child without her guiding me. I thought my life will be as I predicted. My world had been turning around since 2 years ago. Life truly happens.

The journey with le husband so far has been fine. Quarel is surely unavoidable. It is impossible not to quarel when he marries me. It has been a tough 2 years with him. Facing all the difficulties here and there, but we made it so far. Tomorrow he will be leaving for Ruteng,NTT for a month. It is the first time we have another LDR after the marriage. Not too pleasant, hoping it will end sooner and well. Amin.

It’s 5 pm and I suddenly remember one of le husband’s old text :

” Is there any slightest chance that you would be the mother of my children?”

My answer was I didn’t know.

4 years later, here I am, writing this before preparing his daughter for afternoon bath..

Mood Swing

Pengen nulis pake bahasa Indonesia lagi.

Bulan ini piano udah cuti jadi tinggal sekolah. Minggu ini masuk minggu 36 insya Allah. Semakin deket,semakin deg2an dan.. bosan. Dan itu kayanya buat sumbu makin pendek. Dasarnya emang galak, makin kesini makin galak ternyata. Beberapa hari terakhir kesel terus dan emang ada aja yang ngebuat kesel. Pembenaran? Emang.

Kalo udah agak tenang biasanya browsing lagi. Selama hamil ini, semua keluhan yang dirasain PASTI langsung search di internet. Dan semua ada. Literally semua. Dari yang fisik sampe psikologis, yang artinya ibu-ibu hamil di luar sana juga ngalamin hal yang sama.

Pagi ini abis baca satu posting di blog ibu2 yang nulis betapa beratnya jadi ibu itu. Anaknya dua. Sebenernya banyak baca ada untung ruginya. Di satu sisi bisa belajar mungkin dari orang dan mungkin jadi lebih siap2 lagi atau di sisi lain malah jadi makin parno.

Kaya belakangan ini karena udah sebagian besar di rumah, rajin baca-baca tanda-tanda persalinan, cerita melahirkan orang-orang,dan yang sejenisnya. Selalu meringis tiap baca atau denger cerita orang tentang sakitnya melahirkan. Terus terang sampai hari ini belum bisa men-set pikiran yang bisa sedikit ngurangin rasa takut. Jadi, sementara cuma berdoa tiap solat semoga dikasih kemudahan,kelancaran, kelapangan, dan kesehatan kalo waktunya dateng. Berdoa sih bukan cuma kali ya.

Hal lain adalah sering elus-elus perut sambil ajak ngomong si baby,
” sehat terus ya, kepala udah di bawah aja, biar ibu lebih mudah keluarinnya, ibu sehat, papa sehat, semoga nanti dikasih kuat dan sabar yang banyak untuk nahan sakitnya”

Terus terang, dibanding minta ga sakit, lebih milih minta dikasih kuat dan sabar untuk nghadepin itu. Kayanya lebih realistis aja.

Melahirkan itu satu hal, hari-hari setelahnya itu lain lagi. Udah coba kerjain dan siapin apa yang bisa dikerjain sekarang. Berusaha ngerjain sebisanya dengan sumber daya yang dipunya since I don’t have the luxuries like my mum had 30 years ago.

Luxuries disini maksudnya support system dan bala bantuan. Dulu ibu punya nenek, tante susan, semua om-om, papa, tetangga yang sama2 punya anak kecil dan.bisa diandelin, dan lain lain.

Sekarang, ibu ngga ada, mamanya bintang pun jauh, tante susan jauh, tetangga deket pun bisa dibilang ngga ada yang bisa diminta tolong, uang ada dan cukup meskipun dibilang leluasa pun ngga karena pak dokter sekolah dan sekarang udah cuti di piano yang artinya berkurang pemasukan sementara pengeluaran bertambah.

Ini ngeluh apa bukan sih maksudnya? Ya apapun itu deh namanya, cuma perlu cerita aja. Biar nanti-nanti kalo dibaca lagi kapan-kapan bisa inget semua yang udah dilaluin.

Jadi, siap-siap ya buat petualangan selanjutnya. Semoga dimudahkan, dilancarkan dan selalu sehat. Amin!

November Rain

Not a song title. But it is literally rain a lot in this month. This also the month when my mum left 2 years ago.

Have been gloomy these days. Either it is pregnancy hormonal or others, I become quite teary. Lack of sleep might cause this too. Some days, it really frustrates me for not being able to sleep, while still have to wake up early and prepare everything.

My mum, she often said long time ago that everything will be much harder when it is my turn to live my life. She meant a real life. And it turns out to be true. It is truly a hard work and tough. I wont bragging about things that I should be grateful for. I want to point out that it is truly not easy.

When your life is not only about you. When you have to put others’ needs above yours, when you have to take care almost everything while at the same time you have your work too. It has been not easy at all, especially to make everyone is happy.

My life after my mum left so far has been spent to take care others’ stuff. Sometimes it is so tiring and ngeselin. While everyone in the house can just do their own bussiness outside, go home, have some rest and repeat the same thing everyday.

I miss my selfish years..

Pre-motherhood journey,so far..

People say that being a mother can turn your world ups and downs. For these (almost) 30 years of my life, there are certain things that I have never experienced before, but on this journey, I finally have.

I have never been hospitalized during these 30 years. Not even once. Alhamdulillah. Last Friday was the very first time I had been admitted to the hospital. It was when I found fresh blood on the tissue I used after took a pee. It was after teaching on my school’s bathroom.

I have been experiencing few moments that could make my heart stop beating. But, last Friday, it was the very first time I felt my heart and my brain stopped working at the same time when I saw those bloody tissue in my hand. For some time, I think I was going insane.

I couldn’t help calling le husband in an instant. It made me crazier when he didn’t pick it up at first. When he finally made it, I told him abruptly. He told me to go to hospital in an instant.

I didn’t go,instead, I sat for some times in my car. Trying to figure out what really happened. Still not clear. Then when I finally made up my mind, I left the car in school and took a cab to hospital.

Along the way, I couldn’t think of any single thing. Even when I arrived at the hospital,walking by myself,telling the nurse what my problem was, I felt surreal.

When the doctor finished with his examination and told me that it was ok. But,we couldn’t take this lightly and he was strongly recommended that I had to be hospitalized right here right now. Then I realized how big it was, i felt so scare.

The thought that I might do something that harm this little creature inside my womb was very scary. I insisted not to be hospitalized at first, since it scared me to death also. I hate hospital,yet I married to a doctor.

But, I finally gave it up. I ended up not only being hospitalized for the first time in my life, but also other several things beyond my imagination. Having my hand with ‘infus’, being given a medecine from my buttocks, not enough, I had had to pee on the bed using ‘pispot’ and having the nurses to cleaned up that bottom part and my pee. I even had my whole body cleaned by others on the bed.

So far, motherhood has been quite tough. But, in spite of all those things I have been through and will be going through, I think it worths all the sacrifices in the world.

How I Met The Doctor VIII : “Him and Them part II”

The writing mood is here. Keep going!

My first Umra was on October 2003. It was the time when I finally decided to wear jilbab. It had some impacts on few things, including this problem.

I did not know how it worked, but right after I returned, I started receiving few unknown texts from I didn’t know who, some guys asked to be introduced to me from my roommates, and so on. But, there was a distinguish newcomer on my second semester.

Having written these, I don’t intend to remember those men but more to explain where I and the doctor were during these college years and what happened to us. So, after telling about them, I will continue about him.

2nd semester
This man was from other major but often had same class with my major. During first and second semester we had about more than 2 same classes in a week. I did not notice him at all till my roommate which happened to be his classmate, told me there was someone who had been asking her about me.

I didn’t really remember how we finally get introduced. What I remembered most that he was very straight forward.  After the doctor, he was the next one who slipped out a marriage idea to me. It was even weirder for me since he didn’t even know me, at all. Just few months after we knew each other, he suddenly talked about the marriage which I found it quite annoying.

Facing this person, I had been even more to the point. Told him I didn’t have any interest to have close relationship till I finished my study, so he could not expect more.

I refused this one for the same reason like I had with my senior. I was pretty sure, I would never return the feeling to him. There were quite lots of things that I didn’t really keen of him. I disliked some his ways in persuading me. It was pushy. Not good at all. I remembered quarelling with him over some matters. Like one day he insisted to accompany me to fetch the textbooks for my teaching class in other faculty. I refused it and spent almost half an hour to argue with him. I wouldn’t give up since I knew that once I said yes to him, he would ask for another thing. And I won the fought;))

He was there all the time during college, and still tried enough even after we graduated. Had been continously trying to change my answer for 4-5 years, but, I just could not.

Him
We were still fine in early of second semester, but I really didn’t know what happened after that. I believed it must had been something big since I stopped writing on my diary for 5 months. I really can’t tell what was going on since I didn’t write anything. But, I believed it was not good. Maybe that was our biggest first cold war:(

If I was not mistaken, it was April 2004 when I stopped writing and we just resumed our usual conversation near Ramadhan on November. Pretty much,right?

Eventough I didn’t really know what happened back then, I clearly remembered how uneasy it was to be in that state with him.

A bit depressing and frustrating..

Heyho,Baby! “Third Meeting”

So we finally met again last Wednesday. And you know what, the doctor said it is probably a girl!:D

I have thought for these months that you are a boy,eventough there’s a tiny little part of me that want it to be a girl. I think every woman wants herself a tiny little version of her and so is a man.

The doctor said that you are healthy there, and hopefully happy too;) but, I had an injection since my d dimer result was not so good. Hopefully it will be ok by now. Amin.

Please keep being healthy,good,and happy yaa,little one:*

Btw, we,me and dad have agreed on a name for you. It took a very looonggg discussion and debate until we finally agreed. I really hope you will like it and the name brings you all the good in life. Amin.

I’ll see you later:*

Heyho,baby!

I have been wondering what kind of mother I would be later. I haven’t been talk about you a lot during these months while other moms must have been writing almost every thing about their baby once they knew their pregnancy.

But, it doesn’t mean that I am less happier than those moms. I am beyond happy that you are here. Especially last few months, I have sensed your presence well since you have been kicking here and there for couple of times. It has been funny, you know;))

You have been verrryyy good to me. You allow me to work well enough, do the houseworks, did my sunnah and Ramadhan fasting, even you help with Syawal fasting. I really hope we can continue to work together nicely like this:D

Me and dad have not been meeting you since last June, and I am really looking forward to meeting you hopefully next week insya Allah. I have done the blood test since the doctor said that I have to do that before meeting him again. You know I am extremely afraid of doctor,hospital,and all the things related to it. Oh, your father is a doctor I know, but to me, he is nothing about a doctor. He is my husband,hehe.
But,since I really want to know how you are doing there, I did the blood test yesterday. Hope everything is fine. Amin.

So, please keep healthy,be good, and see you soon:*♥
