When in front of CAMERA...

This is what we did when in front of camera...

Wishlist - Gadget. IPAD!!!!!!?????

Yes! This is a promise how I get my wishlist.
Weird but so true!
IPAD that's what I get for gadget wishlist hehehehe.
We put a big smiling face and do you know how I get it? It's FREE!!!!!!!

OMG! Thank you so much Lordie :)

So I got it from a bank where we must put some money in some time then you got the Gadget you choose. We choose IPAD. And the money is not ours, "someone" having idle money and put the money there and not want the gadget.

This is what is weird, so that day the banker call and tell me that I can't have the gadget since it no longer sold (IPAD3), we have to choose between money or other gadget. So We choose the money and asking relative to buy the IPAD4. Then I start to thinking about tithe. I calculate it and inside my thought I say "hmm there is no leftover to spend, sigh" then suddenly the banker call and said we can have the IPAD3, their branch been sent one IPAD3. OHHHHH... I feel sad... I tell hubby and he said "God ever be in debt"

I say "sorry Lord, but thanks :)"

I hope you got my point.

My Dearest Mikaela 1st Birthday

It's been so long since I blog again. Been busy preparing my little one first birthday.
It's not a big one since We invite families only and simple party.

I ordered a cake, food (since I don't want a mess at home so we decide to celebrate in a restaurant that got VIP room). My husband the one who create the decorations and decorate
the rooms. We borrow the mat so she can play on the floor.

These are some pictures of it.

I love her dress, she looks cute and pretty wearing it.

Not a little girl party but we try hard to make it looks like a little girl party.

Hope you like it my angel...

Saturday Night at Surabaya

This is one of many Saturday night we spend together. Since I get bored with mall and mall, we spend it by go to "the Loop" (its an open place and many stall or restaurant), before that we buy things to cook for my baby at "Hokky" market (many foreigner love to buy things here since so many import stuff)

My cute baby

We found a tiger doll

its outdoor

Thanks God it's not rain! Yippie!

My baby got so much fun since she can walk around and around. She found a friend around her age name Orlando. Cute and cool boy. He got this "Justin Timberlake style" (I forgot to picture it)

This is my family saturday nite. What about yours?

HAVE A BLAST!

Homey Indonesian food

Tada! Tahu goreng (fried tofu), ikan goreng (fried fish), sambal, and cah kacang panjang (long bean ? Dunt know the English) were served on the table which all made by me.

Its a simple food that many Indonesian people eat. The most important thing on the table is sambal terasi!!!

I love Indonesian food! 😊

Life that You See And that You Live on...

Life that you see and that you live on sometimes different .

This is a thought that I found in my journey of life.

We live on a big house, two-story house, got 3 rooms and 1 maid room (which now is a warehouse since we got no maid). For my little family this is a really BIG house... 

Sometimes I found it trouble to clean and maintenance the house.

This house isn't ours. I borrowed from my father until we got Our house. 

Sometimes it's not easy for me to live on this hood.

It's a expensive hood for our little family.

We drive an expensive car, not a cheap one.. (Honda Stream is expensive isn't it, I found it when my friend talking about cars and tease me when I didn't know the car that I drive is worth 200million *shocked* ).

If you can see, I am a rich woman (Hahahaha)

But what I know that's all isn't mine

I don't have maid and a babysitter (which usually rich people can afford it)

I don't have a house YET! (This is our FAITH this year! AMEN!)

I can't buy things easily (since I must count money on my pocket and arrange things for a month)

And I still try to save money for kid (it's hard to do)

We still choose things that low-budget on everything.

And sometimes I must think many times to buy things.

But as you can see, no one will believe that sometimes money is a hard thing for me.

And now what I know, 

GOD want me to see that I am rich,

GOD want me to know that I am rich,

GOD want me to believe that I am rich,

And I promise to myself to be grateful for everything that I have and that I haven't.

(choose this words since sometimes as human I fail)

It's ME!

Life starts when she comes to my life.
This words are true...
Before, I was a girl who can do anything by myself, goes to everywhere i want either alone or with someone and at anytime...
I can be lazy in one day and  do things on the other day...
I have my own money, since i work..

Its Me a long long time ago

When I'm pregnat

On Last Chinese New Year

Now ...
I can't go anywhere and anytime I like .. haha!
NO Vacation allowed! Since MOM is not a job title.
And now I know how tough is it to become a housewife without any maid or help..
Must arrange all things and do things for others either...
And I am not working anymore means no MY money..

But this is life that i choose, eventhough i become uglier.. (that's what i feel)
I am a mom! Blessed isn't it ..(try to convince myself)
