Cerita Sita

Well, not really that bad. But 2013 starts with (from my perspective) bad financial management in my little family. Di penghujung minggu sebelum gajian ini dompet udah mulai bernapas pendek-pendek alias sesek, hehehe. Why? I feel like I don't manage my family cash flow really well this month because there have been various expenses and some of them are in a good amount of number (without being too specific). We are not in an emergency situation though (thank God), our savings are safe but more like a status of Mount Merapi at the time it gave a sign of activation: STATUS SIAGA, belum AWAS, alias tabungan kas yang mulai menipis. But I always believe things happen for a good reason :) From here I learned to list down types of savings that I have so far and marked them with my financial objective, just to make sure that the saving is really worthed. More or less, I break down my financial plan into these following points: 1) Education for my children. Ini gw bagi berdasarkan ti...

I watched you cry, bathe in sunlight by the bathroom door You said you wish you did not love me anymore You left your flowers in the backseat of my car The things we said may have left permanent scars Obsessed, depressed at the same time I can't even walk in a straight line I'm a light in the dark, no sunshine No sunshine, no sunshine She cries, "This is more than goodbye When I look into your eyes You're not even there" It's just a feeling, just a feeling, just a feeling that I have Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have 'Cause it's just a feeling, just a feeling, just a feeling (I can't believe that it's over) You've hit your low You've lost control, you want him back You may not believe me but I gave you all I had Undressed, confessed that you're still mine I rolled around in a bed full of tears and I I'm still laying in the dark, no sunshine No sunshine, no sunshine She cries, "This is more than goodbye When I look ...

If somebody has an addition with smoke or alcohol, at the moment I have addiction of Adam Levine . Like any other ordinary girl (yes, I consider myself young :-P), I love Adam's voice, it makes me constantly addicted listening to Maroon 5 's songs. I can repeat one song all over again, like, more than 5 times, before moving on to another song track. Kalau dalam bahasa Indonesia, suaranya bikin meleleh :) Apart from him being a hearthrob, I can see that he works hard to climb the music ladder and gets his position now as one of the top music bands in the world. I bought his album Hands All Over and love all the songs, literally! Now I am planning to buy his new album, Over Exposed. A bit late, yes, but better late than never. Much success for you Adam, may you be healthy and happy like never before! :) Photos: www.berry.com usmagazine.com ibtimes.com

My colleagues in office are talking about Gua Jomblang . Since I am totally unaware of "hip" holiday destinations I Googled the name (Google is definitely the best innovation ever found on planet Earth!), and I was totally in awe when I looked at the photos. Aaak!! This place should definitely be put on my top list of places to go. And definitely with my hubby bubby @omjambul :) Other interesting sources to read about this cave: http://koran-jakarta.com/index.php/detail/view01/75701

Setelah dua kali kejadian kecolongan di kantor dengan jumlah materi yang hilang yang tidak sedikit (lumayan bok yang dijebol kantor finance) kantor saya sekarang mulai memperketat aturan (iyaaa baru mulai!). Kenapa gw bilang baru mulai? Karena sebelumnya kantor gw itu bebas jaya.. no cctv ,no security access, no absence dll. Ruangan2 ga berpintu jadi bisa kebayang mudahnya orang yg lewat depan ruangan lu dgn santainya nyamber BB di atas meja lu. Padahal lu cuma pergi ke WC sebentar. Yup, that dangerous. Makanya sekarang untuk ruang Finance dan HR ,kantor pasang yg namanya security access dengan cara pakai kartu akses atau pakai cek sidik jari. Sial di gw, gw ga inget tadi. Jadi dengan pedenya sambil melenggang n liat HP, gw buka pintu ke Finance. Doeeng! Ga bisa kebuka! Jadilah gw hampir mencium si pintu kaca. Oh no, sungguh katro. Untung ada Dolly to the rescue.. bukan, ini bukan domba kloning tapi rekan banknya kantor gw. Dia dengan sigap membukakan pintu. Ternyata peningkatan kea...

Sometimes the best moment in life comes from a simple thing. This gift happens to be one of them. Thank u Tari!

This is one of my favorite photos of @omjambul. I took this picture during our trip (or so-called honeymoon trip) in Ubud, Bali. We stayed in a very nice cottage surrounded by paddy fields. It was near the road but we can hardly hear any noise.

I found this cool restaurant from Femina magazine, it is called Umbra  and located in Kemang, Jakarta. I instantly imagine myself visit this restaurant for dinner with @omjambul. This place only opens in the evening and have unique rules: age requirement: 21+ no slippers no weapons/bodyguards no outside food & beverages no pets no drugs I don't know if going there is feasible this year as I find it really hard to leave the kids at home without one of us accompanying them. But I want to put this in my list of places to go with my husband :) Photos: http://www.umbrajakarta.com

gara-gara seorang teman minta tolong dicarikan gambar dress selutut untuk bahan yang mau dia jahit, saya (seperti biasa) terdistraksi dan jadi malah semangat mencari-cari gambar dress yang cantik. Here are what I found so far.  Just Google "bridesmaid dresses" and look in the Image section. Aren't they pretty? :)

why i work so lazy today? I feel like a snail.. so slow and sleepy... is it because of holiday leftover? Hmmm....

Chakra Kan. Harus terpisah. Suaranya bikin meleleh....

After two weeks holiday I am ready to go to back to work! (menyemangati diri sendiri) Welcome 2013! I sure want to be kind with you so please be kind with me too *smooch*
