Chasing Intan

Hi everyone!!!  I think this is the longest I've been MIA.  Life's been crazy......GOOD.  My sis in law once said that "someday when you have a child, you'll put everything behind." Damn she's right! But you know what, it feels good just to sit here and start blogging again. Little prince is sleeping right next to me. I bought myself an ipad mini a week ago, hoping I can get some "me time" again. Writing and writing and writing. Besides replying customer's questions. Yes. I'm still a personal beauty shopper. In fact, I'm enjoying every second of it.  First thing first.  Vale turns 8 months today! I mean, where time flies? His baby phase passed in a blink of an eye. Oh how I miss those snuggly nap on my chest. He's a big boy now, weighing almost 11kgs. And I'm the one who shrinking. Yay!! He started solid on 6mos and it's been up and down ever since. Big boy hates gadget. When other babies can be distracted with gadgets, he pre...

Excuse me, whose blog is this? Oh heck, it's mine.  I've been away for too long, waaaaay too long. I've missed new year post, another (chinese) new year post! And little did I know, my son is now 5 months.  It's Sunday morning, Vale woke up at 6. He pooped, and then I was preparing his bathtub. I bathed him and minutes later he slowly dozed off.. Hallelujah! He went back to sleep.  "Me time" calling! :D  I had myself a long good bath, breakfast, filled Sunday's crosswords, and now sitting in front of my laptop stringing along these words.. Realizing how much time flies so fast.  Little updates from me, right now I'm still (and forever will be) a housewife. That's my prime, and ultimate job. Whoever said being a housewife = jobless, have to do it by themselves. In fact, it's ENDless, rather than JOBless (if you know what I mean).  Another job, my online make up business grew bigger each day. When we started months ago, w...

Pregnancy turned out not as scary as I imagined it would be. If previously I thought that it's gonna be the end of an era (well it is, partly, yeah). But I managed to get back in shape in less than two months.  How so?  I think bellefit really help me to get rid of those flabby postpartum belly. I thanked whoever create it!! Amazeballs! I recommended it to everyone I know.  I started to wear it on fifth day after gave birth. And I slowly saw the positive result less than a week! However I haven't get back to my pre pregnancy weight, it's only three kilos to go. But everyone was like, you have boobies now and you're looking healthier than ever. Well yeah, I must had been so skinny last year. Now I have fuller cheek and boobs. LOL.  I'm dying to go back to my yoga mat.. I actually had back to my class, but only for a month. Because my darling Vale always cries when I left him. So I decided to quit and practice at home....

27 Agustus 2013 1:45 Tiba-tiba kebangun karena kebelet pipis. Dalam hati, "ah dasar bumil pipis mulu.." Bolak-balik kamar mandi emang bukan hal yang aneh, apalagi ni perut udah guede banget. Setengah ngantuk, gue jalan ke kamar mandi yang untungnya cuma beberapa langkah aja dari kasur. Ketika duduk di monoblok, kok kerasa ada yg "tumpah" yah di bawah sana. Hmm apa gue pecah ketuban? Tapi kok ga berasa mules sama sekali? Akhirnya abis pipis ya melengos tidur lagi.  1:55 Errr tapi ga bisa tidur lagi, malah jadi gelisah.. Yang tadi apaan ya? Bangunin Mr.D jangan ya? Akhirnya gue bangunin juga hubby yang lagi ngorok di sebelah. Dengan polosnya gue bilang, "say kayanya aku pecah ketuban." Trus Mr.D yang masih di alam mimpi, sambil merem ngejawab, "ah yang bener? Mau ke rumah sakit? Besok pagi aja ya.." Grrrr... Ini suami gak siaga deh -_-  Akhirnya gue bangunin lagi, "say aku pecah ketuban!!" Setengah ngebentak....

For once (yes I mean for ONCE) in a lifetime, 24 hours is never enough.  Between my new activities as a mother (well well well, what's new?), I'm still doing my homework to finish all Mr. D 's paperwork and also, started a business with my sister. Why not? I do enjoy myself being a mom to the most * precious, handsome, funny, cutest, chubby * baby in the world, but I also need something to do beside breastfeeding and change diapers. Otherwise, my brain cells will slowly cut into pieces. LOL.  That's why I need more than 24 a day. It would be a lot easier if I hire a nanny, so I can do whatever I want without Vale in tow. BUT. Valentino is my first priority no matter what, so anything else comes secondary. In this case, blogging comes in.... fifteenth? Or lower. It's so hard to find time to write a good post. Take a look at my draft, and everything was like, "I'm such a terrible mother!" or "my baby poo poo a lot" or "my brea...

I'm just... Juggling with my new-found motherhood life.  WAIT.  I haven't announce the birth of my son in this blog?!  Where all the time flies? He's five weeks now.  Honestly, I've been pretty much preoccupied that I can't differentiate between day and night OR Monday and Wednesday! It's so consuming that I was this close before becoming "the walking dead" due to lack of sleep, lack of eat, and lack of everything.  The first two weeks was the easiest. As he sleeps at all times, excluding breastfeeding time. So I can eat, shower, serve our guests, and clean the house between his sleeping time. I sounded so super right? Considering I just had a major c-section days before. Thank God I didn't suffer from post-op nightmares. (FYI: Yes I finally went thru an emergency C-Section, story to follow)  Feeling super myself, I was like, "is that all? I can easily have 3 children!" LOL. Then tough time came. The horrible th...

newsflash I'm officially 9 months pregnant.  Entering this 9th month of pregnancy, I think it's finally taken its toll.  I never sleep well during the night, cos I have to go back and forth to the toilet. As well as troubled breathing and I can't seem find the right sleep position. Worst of all, I'm sweating all the time. FYI: I've chopped my hair. I might turn on the AC, but it makes my throat uncomfortable to sleep all night with AC on. And oh, the itchiness haunted me again, which makes me think about those horrible stretch marks. I hope I don't get one in the end. finger crossed. On the other hand, I'm excited too.. To finally reach "its time" to meet him, the center of my universe. Though it can be weeks away. I even thinking about going under the knife. But the intention to have a normal delivery is still strong. Although C-section is now an option, IF I overdue and the ob/gyn tell me to have an induction, then I will choose...
