Positive wishes

today I have heard the information that made me so disappointed.
many people in the organization behaved inappropriate.

lack of professionalism
leaders lack of leadership
lack of sense of responsibilities
lack of decision making
lack of team player
selfish and self-oriented
no bravery and wisdom
no sense of belonging

absolute disappointing

for that matter, what can i do?

suddenly i realize, all i can ever do is praying, wishing and hoping for the goodness and kindness to come to and touch those people.

i wish for the love, kindness, truly happiness, goodness, wisdom and everything good to come among us all.

whenever we think of positive things, there will be no room for the opposite.

let's share the goodness
share the kindness
share the wisdom
share the professionalism
share the love

then we will all be able to live with the true happiness

in God's blessings

Voshan enters a playgroup

It has been twice visit of my Voshan to join his class of playgroup. Actually he had been into the same class three times, but the first time was a free trial.

I was not surprised though that he still could not really stand still when we were supposed to gather around. Voshan is still enjoying himself and likes to do things on his own. It's not that he can't share at all. It's just he is not ready or not comfortable yet among a lot of people or even small groups of strangers.

And when you want him to attend or watch anything new, do not expect it to last more than a minute. But when he gets familiar and used to and even grow to like it, then you can be sure that he can stand all night watching the show. Well, at this moment, to draw his attention, we can get him to watch Diego, Dora, Teletubbies or Baby TV shows.

Even I enrolled him to a playgroup, I don't expect too much, I just want him to be able to play and meet other kids in his similar ages..and certainly so that he can have a great times of his early life.

Voshan's 2nd Birthday

Wow...almost hard to believe that my son has reached his second year of age..
Yes, on last August 30th, 2008, he celebrated his 2nd birthday..well, actually he still did not understand completely about the day...then who actually celebrated the day are me and his father, and also his grandparents, cousin, aunts and uncles..:p

Oh yes, quite extraordinary it was, that on the day, it rained almost all day..from mid day to the night...hmm...i wonder what that meant, let's just hope that it was the sign of happiness and prosperity...amien..:D

Voshan's New Haircut

This one I promise it's going to be short..:)Actually, I have written this post for a while, but I did not get any chance to publish it.
Now here it goes...:)

I'd like to show you the new haircut of my son, Voshan.

On that Saturday, I took him to Snippets to have his hair cut. And now you can see his new look. Somehow I think he's become more adorable but look naughty as well.

Well, what do you think??

Speaking about naughty, Voshan was being very naughty on the Monday after and that he was succeeded in making me skip work that day.

Since waking up in the morning, he just could not let me go, and he did not want to be with anyone but me. How naughty he was! Do you think it's because his new haircut?? Well, we just can't tell precisely..is it related anyway?? you tell me..hahaha..:D

Thankful to the Existence

today i checked the blog of my good friend, http://mybabyaurel.blogspot.com/, and saw how cute the mommy n the baby having fun on the swimming pool..just reminded me how fun it was to swim with my voshan..

and then i checked my own blog, and found that it had been a month since my last posting. how could that be? was i really that busy? or just lazy to write anything? :)

so here i am beginning to write again a new post.

I remember that July is almost over. Well it's a very special month for me, since it is the month where I had been born.
Actually it's my first birthday that i didn't celebrate with my parents.
It's the first one i celebrate at my home.
It's my first birthday that i didn't buy any birthday cake.
It's not that i don't afford to buy one..just thought that next month i'll be celebrating my son's birthday, so i think i will buy a big cake for both of us on voshan's birthday.
however, speaking of cakes, it reminds me of the blueberry cheese cake that we bought for our boss birthday, yummy...i think i will buy a cake today...(hmm, so impulsive..).

whatever..:)

actually i remember that i was pretty sad and mad that saturday, on my 31st birthday.
yes, on that day, my husband left me for his project.
and he did not come back until late afternoon.
and we did not buy any cake.
and we did not go out for birthday lunch.
and my parents did not come over.
and i did not get any birthday present.
and i just get through my ordinary saturday, i bought the vegetables from the seller who passed by, i cooked, i looked after my son, played the computer games,
and so on, and so on, pretty usual stuffs.
i felt 'wow, it's a pretty lame birthday'..

and then that night, finally we went out (didn't remember where), somewhere close by i guess..
my husband left me with my son in the car, and i received an sms from one of my best college friend,.."hi, have you had a great time on this birthday of yours?"
at that moment, i still felt not very good..but of course, i cannot tell that to her..not that way..
and then i took a deep breath and began to reply the sms,
"i'm just thankful that God still let me to have this beautiful life".....
wow, i who felt quite sad and mad, could actually type that sms??
and then all of a sudden, i can really feel thankful and very happy and gracious
and i can feel again how beautiful my life is now, and has been, and will be..

i am healthy, itchy sometimes, but i still can live..
i can live in my own home with my family
i have a family of my own
i have a great husband
i have the most beautiful child
all my close family are healthy, my hubby n son, my parents, my niece, my sis, my inlaws
i have a good job, sucks sometimes, but it's still ok
i have started my own business
my husband business going well
i have many good friends
i have a good boss
i have a maid
i have a car
my stomache is full
i can sleep well
i can laugh with all my heart

i am just so very happy for this beautiful life
and i am so very thankful and gratefull to God, the Existence, who still let me have this all :) :D

Thank God
Praise the Lord
Puji Tuhan

with the most humble and happiest heart and soul..

Shocking News for me

I read an email from one of the mailing list, and I just shocked to hear the news. It said that there had been an 18 month-old baby killed by a Rottweiler dog. I am sure it was really devastating to the parents.

It was quite an old dog, 7 years old. How could that be??

Being a dog lover, I tried to analyse the case..:p and I came up with some reasons why the dog could harm and kill the baby.

1. The dog was starving

2. The dog had missed his regular vaccination

3. The dog somehow felt threatened by the baby

Actually I am not really know about Rottweiler dogs. I have never had one. So I do not know if it is one of the dogs that can be played with children, since I know some are clicked with children but some other cannot stand near children. Some dogs are like children and very childish. Therefore they do not like when there are other children who are close to their master. They felt jealous and threatened that his place will be taken place by the children.

In spite of my adoration for dogs, please be careful with your baby or children when you have dogs at home, especially if you do not know for sure how your dog is. Don't ever let your dogs starved. Don't miss their regular vaccination. Love them both by keeping your children save from your dog.

Speech Delay in Children

This topic was very much talked about in one of the mailist I join. Well, I guess somehow the fact has been tickling me, since my son which now is in his almost second year of age, has not been able to speak clearly. And I am not sure how many words he has learnt to speak.

One of the article I found from http://www.helium.com/ just now could be used as one of the guidances to recognise any speech delay in children. You can read the article via this link http://www.helium.com/items/1021528-recognizing-the-signs-of-speech-delay-in-children
Hopefully it can be useful to anyone who reads this blog.

A New Maid for Voshan

Finally, she had arrived at my home with her uncle. She is a new maid for my family, well especially for my son, Voshan.
Turned out she is still very young. She just finished her elementary school, that makes her around 12. Very young indeed.
She is also inexperienced with the job. Ok then, so I gave her some training of course. First I introduced her to the house and the room. And then I trained her how to wash clothes with the washing machine. Then she washed the dishes, and finished the laundry.
Relief I was that I have a new maid again finally. But there're also some tasks for me to train her to do the job well. Oh yes, I even trained her to use the gas stove..:)

Despite all that, I am still thanking God for giving us some assistance in taking care our home and child. Hopefully, she can do very well with all the jobs and chores, including taking care of my son, and she can remain here with my family for as long as required.

Also, wish her be kind and honest, since I think it is the most important in hiring anyone.

Wish me luck, my friends..:D

Online Business

Since end of last year, I had begun involved with online business or so called internet marketing.

I guess the background was that I really needed more income besides my regular salary. Furthermore, the business tends to build a network that eventually I can get passive income without me have to work hard for it..that is when your network has grown into a gigantic web..:)

The first one that I was interested in is being an Oriflame consultant via d'BC network, which is the network that makes the business done by online. It is a real business that actually can be done well also offline. That is why it's quite flexible. You can do it online as well as offline. Great opportunity!
To learn some details on the business, we can go to http://www.dbc-bisnisku.info/

The second one was electric cellular pulse--DYNASIS. One thing that interested me most at that time is the registration is free! So I thought I just had nothing to lose. It is very convenient actually. Can top up by myself. Do not have to find it outside. It is a very easy way to start a business.

I have my replica web that can be accessed here http://www.klikdynasis.net/?id=wi1324

The other one that could get my attention was an e-book about building your own website. It is actually a very easy way to learn about html and how to prepare a basic website. We can also offer the e-book to someone else and we can get 50% of the profit.:)

Everyone can get the e-book through my affiliate link http://www.PanduanDasarMembuatWebsite.com/?id=betterlifetimes

Most recent network that I joined is the internet marketing school called Asian Brain IMC. The teacher is Anne Ahira who had been very successful in the online business. She's actually one of the greatest internet marketer in the world and she comes from Indonesia!
I want to be like her someday, so I think I need to know how she can get to be what she is right now. That is why I join Asian Brain.
You can also join the internet marketing school. It's fully online. Register the school through below link.

Once you have some online businesses to run to, you need to advertise. And I have found quite effective way to advertise by joining this website http://Iklan.CaraSukses.Com/?id=widyaviernanda

I can also advertise my husband architect business through above site. It is really great and easy.

Least but not least, the primary business for my family is the business run by my husband. The architectural design service, Vision To Live - Visi Cipta Tata Lestari.
We have a new website on http://www.vision2live.com/
However, the previous website is also still active http://www.vision2live.net/
We receive e-mail on info@vision2live.com
We can always be reached on these numbers: +62 21 33070199 (studio), +62 818844319, +62 8888417199 (mobiles).

Quite some businesses huh?!
Wish we can have good and successful result from them all! :)

Good luck everybody!

Last Night I Lost a Maid

Yes...happened just last night. When I was already asleep with my baby..at about 10.30 pm, my maid who had been taking 2 days off, called and said that she was coming back that night.

Well, ok, I thought she would be back for good..but alas, I was wrong, turned out that she'd be gone for good..:(

She came with her mother at about 11pm and then her mother sort of begged me to let her go so she could be home for good. Told that she was sick and should be resting at home or just going to the market where their family has a stall.

haaah.....didn't know what to do (just waking up, my mind was not clearly placed)..and so all I said was, "ok, verywell, you can pack your things and go home to your mommy.." (actually I only said it in my mind).

almost could not believe that we will be on our own again..:) looking some mess at home that we won't be able to clean or clear up as good as my maid would.

I just could not object or hold on to her so she did not go. Later on I sort of felt sorry why I didn't offer her more salary, or I should have said something to make her stay. But then, my husband brought his used coffee cup to the pantry and said, "I am washing the dishes, ok".

Wow, his sentence just made me relief and feel much better. He never washed the dishes when my maid was around! Yes, we will be able to make it on our own. We can share the cores again. We can cook, wash dishes, mop the floor, do the laundry and take care Voshan. Yes, no problem at all! We had been worse, and right now it's just not a problem. Everything will turn out right if we hold on together..:)

And then I started do the laundry and completely feel in control again. This is my home, and I can do everything my way! :D

Unprofessional People

Unprofessional people... Just realised that so many of them right now! and they are everywhere...in my office, in streets, and worse..in the government!

They are not just unprofessional, but they also opportunists who are able to do dirty jobs just to maintain their positions. in other words, they only care for the sake of themselves. So selfish aren't they?

Why can't they do the job in a much simple and proportional way? So everyone else can be happy. And when everyone is happy, of course they should be happy too right??

How can anyone be happy when their happiness or luxurious is resulted from the pain of someone else??

They might say that they need money for their family...but don't we all?!

Wouldn't it be much more long lasting if we can get money in a good way?

Please, can anyone enlighten me, why there are still so many unprofessional around us??
