Count of blessing

There are some pressures at my office these days, but there's no reason not to thank God. Somebody said that it will be great if you can thank God when things are going bad in your life....

So, I will start to count the blessing I got from God...
1. I thank God for giving me a nice husband...he is not romantic but he is a good guy.
I just heard today that one of my friend was just divorced and it made me really shock...

2. I thank God for giving me a nice boy and he is adorable

3. I thank God for giving me so many blessings so far....

The maid

After being confused for many months, I prayed to God to help me solve this problem, and God sent me someone who actually I still don't know...but she is a colleague at my office.
I got a lot of information from her which is really useful for me.
The problem is how to deal with house working in Jakarta without a maid.

But then me and my husband decided to live in Jakarta without a maid!
Yes....we don't wanna depend on any maid.
The solution is that Jerome will stay in a daycare in Jakarta. I will do house working as usual, just like what I have done here. I will cook, do laundry, clean up and so on and so forth.
Maybe it will be difficult in the beginning. But I believe I can make it. People is easy to be adapted to a new situation. And I believe that I am a kind of that person.
I feel so excited every time I think about it.
I just feel comfortable because we live here just the three of us. No other people. It's so convenient for us.
Therefore, I couldn't imagine if there is someone else in our place that we don't know exactly.
So I will try my best to live without a maid. I hope it will work. At least until Jerome is going on 5.

Upcoming graduation!

I can't believe that I will graduate next month!

Yes, time flies so fast.....Next month, on December 19, 2009, I will wear my cap and gown, get my certificate and gather with family and friends....oh God....I'm so excited!!!
After those tears and bloody things, after the hard work, after those sleepless nights....I made it!!!!
Thanks God for everything....I do thank you for all your graces and glory!

Now, I should start preparing all things before heading back to Indonesia....
There are so many things to do...
And then, prepare my self for the reverse culture shock! haha......

Friends

I have so many friends on my facebook. I get along well with most of them. Some are just so so. They are my childhood friends, my high school friends, my colleague friends, and so on and so forth. Some are my relatives or sibling.
I just realized that the more friends I have on facebook, the more complicated it is.
Well, it's because now I should take care more about my facebook, I should figure out any single thing. I mean, I couldn't write anything on my mind now. Since everybody can read it and think differently with me. It will be a problem.

I have an old buddy. I knew her since almost 20 years ago. It's not a short time, isn't it?
I didn't know why somebody really wanna separate us. Somebody told her about bad things and it came from me. How come? I just wonder what kind of advantage that the damn guy will get from that situation, by telling bed things to my friend? She became so upset and she suddenly decided to remove me from her mind.
I beg her to think about our good memories during our childhood to calm her down. It worked just for a while, but then she still reminded those bad news and cheap gossip. She wrote something about that on her facebook.
Ok then. It's time to quit now. I made up my mind to remove her from my friends list. It's enough. I still have my own dignity. Goodbye my friend....
I'm tired of you. Sayonara!

The itchiness

Well, after trying many soaps and lotions, the itchiness is still there :(
I even tried to apply baby oil to my body after taking shower. Still didn't work. Oh gosh....
I called my friend, and she suggested me to reveal the itchiness first. Then I took a skin medicine that I bought from Walgreen. Well, it helped though but still the itchiness stays on my body..oh God....

Itchy skin

During this fall, I felt my skin was sooooo itchy! Even I couldn't stop my self from scratching it. It's not good though. It will worsen my skin. Then I asked my friends on my facebook the solution. Then I got it. So easy.
Why I couldn't think about it before. I just had to change the soap.

Actually, I've been thinking about it but I was not sure and thought that I should finish the soap that currently I used. Then I changed my mind. So last night, we went to Walmart and I bought a moisturizer soap. It's so soft and tender. I also bought a bath therapy. It smells lavender. After arriving at home, I took a bath and I tried the bath therapy. Oh my....it's soooo nice! It didn't heal my pain directly but it made me feel so fresh! I like it!

After using the moisturizer soap, I also feel that my skin improves! Still feel the itchiness but not as much as before!
Hope it will be better....

Annoyed

These days, there are so many problems in my big family. Someone came into our life. At first, she was welcome. Later, everybody but me hates her. I don't understand why. And the more confusing is, when everybody seems hating her, they also force me to hate her. It's ridiculous. I don't know why I should hate her for no reason?
The most annoying thing is when one of my relative asked me to prevent her. I said I don't need to do that since I don't have any problem with her. Then she told my family about that with different version which totally unfair. It made my family angry and I also got angry. It's like burning a barrel of oil. I hate that.

Those problems make me couldn't concentrate in class. I couldn't catch what my professor said in class. It's definitely annoying. Damn it. What the hell. Hope this problems solved soon. May God be with me.

Fall Pictures!

Today, as I mentioned last night, I really wanna have pictures with those colorful leaves, and there you go! I got it!!!
I'm sooooo happy!!!!!

Finally, my husband didn't mind to take my pictures....

We were looking at the marching band which was practicing in front of the Assembly Hall. Then we discovered that the trees are already yellowing....it's so wonderful! I couldn't hold my self from taking pictures and then I got it!!! YAY!!!!

I discovered that my camera is pretty old and the colors are not bright anymore, so I'm considering to buy a new one..
That's why I asked my husband to take my pictures because his camera is much much better than mine...

my prayer

Dear Lord,

I really wanna have pictures in a place around Orchard Down during this Fall because my friends took pictures there last year. I couldn't make it last year because it was too cold and I was lazy. But now I do regret it. That's why I really wanna go there and take as many pictures as possible before it's too late....

My friend said that the red leaves will just hang in there for several days...oh nooo....
I should do that before the leaves fall to the ground and nothing is left on the branches...

Please Lord, listen to my prayer....

I have begged my husband to take pictures there but he refused me because he also doesn't like the cold weather. But he said that this Sunday, the weather will be nice and warm. So he promised me to take pictures on this Sunday...
I hope the red leaves will be still on the branches and it will be a very nice day to take pictures....

Thank you Lord
