bagaimana pendapat para lelaki ya tentang pekerjaan rumah tangga? di Indonesia... dan dimanalah!!! Apa yang Ibas pikir tentang kerjaan2 rumah tangga gue n Mama? gue pikir sih dia bener2 appreciate gue n Mama, dia mau nungguin Bella sementara gue tadi pagi setengah histeris ngeliat Bebe eek di kasur (gak pake celana, soalnya baru ngompol) dan langsung berniat beres2 kamar dan nyedot debu yang tebelnya mungkin 1cman. untungnya Bebe dibawah, karna gak lama sirkuit kabelnya kebakar (!!!!!) gara2 beban listrik vakum kliner. oh shit. PMS,, semuanya harus bersih...

Hal hal yang HARUS dilakukan
beli brokoli buat bebe. periksa + timbang bebe ke dokter (ada bintik2 merah di muka n badan). bikin jus stroberi + apel kayak kemaren sore demi pencernaan. beli kacamata buat ibas. cari tau harga kanvas + yang bisa nyablon kanvas. Hubungin ivana tentang cermin n bikin sepatu. bikin artikel buat ibu (+gambar!). bikin maket studio (jangan sampe numpuk tiga). bikin tugas MK. bikin tugas SK5. bikin alternatif buat studio internasional. selesein translate 5 bagan lagi. CUCI BAJU! servis + cuci motor. creambath sendiri. kontak nissa, venus, dan pasukan cewek lainnya (or either you won't have any gf anymore). beli kado buat ara. coba resep kue! beli cetakan cupcake. hari jumat ambil kartu mandiri n pindah akun. ambil/tanyain gordyn. bikin list undangan buat bidston tanggal 17. print flash tattoo. cari majalah tatonya. cari kancing buat kemeja ibas. jaitin celana ibas. siapin expo tanggal 19. bikin blog carpe diem.

oh my god.
kapan shopping? cil?

indonesian mother: undomestic or domestic goddess??

gue baru membaca cerminan hidup gue.. hehe, gak cerminan amat sih, tapi rada mirip. Judulnya I dont know how she does it. gue gak tau ini termasuk chicklit ato bukan, tapi ga ada tandanya (biasanya ada tulisannya chicklit kan?) dan lagian ini bukan tentang perempuan single metropolitan yang biasanya ada di chicklit2 itu.

Ceritanya tentang ibu dua anak, yang juga punya karir sebagai manajer investasi gitu. singkatnya - she's just too busy. yang ada di kepalanya cuman tentang anak-anak, suaminya n gawean. buat dirinya sendiri? menurutnya gak ada waktu untuk itu. ya kira2 hampir sama kejadiannya ama yang gue alamin beberapa bulan terakhir ini. bangun pagi2, ngerjain semua hal sebelum ninggalin Bella
(nyiapin makanan, mandiin, dll sementara nyiapin barang2 kuliah gue juga), dan kadang2 bangun subuh2 buat nyuci baju. jam 8an ato paling siang jam 9 gue berangkat kuliah, paling sore gue pulang jam 3, trus langsung nyiapin makanan berikutnya buat Bebe (ato buah), trus mandiin n nidurin. Jam 5 langsung cbut lagi ke tempat kerjaan ampe jam 9. pulang ke rumah, Bebe udah tidur n gue juga masih harus ngerjain tugas2 kuliah n lembur kerja kalo gue bawa kerjaan ke rumah. dammit.

di buku yang gue baca, si Kate malah harus beli Barbie tiap pulang dari dinasnya ke mana aja (di seluruh dunia) buat sogokan anaknya yang umur 5 tahun. Sementara dia juga berusaha biar anaknya itu gak kepengaruh sama asuhan si pengasuhnya yang gajinya gede banget. mm satu hal yang juga kepikiran buat gue, si Kate ini juga ngasih gaji yang cukup gede dan gak bisa protes ngeliat kelakuan pengasuhnya yang suka seenaknya (minta bonus, liburan sesukanya, pake mobil pribadi sementara Kate jalan kaki (!) dan suka telat dateng) karena rasa nggak enaknya karena si pengaruh ini udah ngelakuin hal yang seharusnya dia lakuin. huh, the same feeling here. gue ngerasa si embak berjasa banget karna udah mau nemenin Bebe (padahal kerjaannya juga ga bener2 amat) dan rasanya susah untuk bersikap tegas.

untung aja, dalam hal urusan sama suami dan sejenisnya... gak ada masalah :)
ada sesuatu yang cukup lucu dan menarik: kalo lo masih lajang, lo pengen tidur berdua, tapi kalo udah nikah, rasanya lo pengen tidur sendirian. kalo bisa 12 jam.
ini bukan karna masalah sama suami ato apa, tapi karna capeknya itu loh.

apa lagi ya,, gue baru baca sepertiganya. cukup seru. ada tentang situasi perempuan dan kaum minoritas di kantor2 yang umumnya sangat 'laki-laki', dan Kate nunjukin beberapa contoh buat ngadepin hal ini. ada beberapa hal juga yang berhubungan dengan teori 'glass ceiling' yang baru gue baca, huhu. lumayan, bekel buat ngantor nanti. tapi sejauh ini blom ada penyelesaiannya soalnya bacanya blom kelar.

intinya tentang kebingungan antara jadi ibu rumah tangga ato jadi wanita karir. jadi wanita karir yang domestic goddess? mungkin aja sih kalo didukung ama keluarga. n gue bersyukur punya Ibas yang bisa ngertiin dan ngedukung gue 300 persen. yang jelas, i won't give up being a working mother. huhu. cheers :D

our guilty pleasure

Nyams. another guilty pleasure for me and Clownie is to enjoying the sophisticated Plaza Ambarrukmo. haha! tadinya cuma mau beli kursi untuk ruang tattoo dan beberapa equipment lainnya, tapi malah jadi jalan2 dan ada yang ngeborong muscle car Hotwheels sementara gue sendiri liat2 sepatu n tas (women...). anyway, ada satu hal yang gue sadari tentang enaknya jadi perempuan. You don't need to feel sorry or awkward of shopping even if you're shopping alone! shopping gak harus selalu ngeluarin duit lho. We're idea shopping. ngeliat beberapa outlet yang dari nama sama produk n interiornya gak nyambung, sampe liat2 rak pajang (raknya doang, maap ya mbak2 outlet jam yang cuman kita liatin raknya, soalnya stiker akrilik ente blom dilepas, kita kan pengen tau). ngiterin the what so called Amplaz sampe ke pojok2 kamar mandinya, gak sadar udah jalan2 empat jam lebih, sampe ada sms dari temennya Clownie, katanya udah di Amplaz, mau nraktir. Yaudah kita panggilin di informasi... (gara2 gak punya pulsa) dan ternyata mereka masih di Kinoki.. yeks..

anyway, after finding a piece of metropolitan touch in this homy city, i've found that an idea shopping (or REAL shopping, maybe, someday...) is rather relaxing for me and Clownie. yet a guilty pleasure.. duh x(

World's Vegetarian Day

It was yesterday. Clownie's Mom is outta town, so it's my chance to make the family vegetarian. hehe! I made vegetarian fried rice but with fish meatballs for Clownie's sister and brother. For Bebe I made carrot and bean soup with tofu. I don't think I celebrate the day becoz I myself was so busy all day I can't hardly eat anything all day. I went to campus with Clownie at 9 AM and back home at 3, while I had to work at 5 PM. sheeshh... And I forgot to count on the flyover project in front of our house. (OK, this is not related with world's vegetarian day, i'm simply just telling bout my day yesterday) Me and Bebe can't barely sleep!! they worked overtime until about 4.30 in the morning until I yelled to them. I don't even know if they stop because of my trash words or simply they're just tired. I think I should tell someone in charge about this. We don't pay taxes for this horrifying noise. 

Anyway, about the day I don't eat anything. The World's Vegetarian Day. I realized this morning when I scaled my weight, it's now 64 kgs. wow, it was still 67 last week x( I dunno if I have to feel happy or worry about this. I feel very exhausted and overworked. While I still want to spend my times with Clownie and Bebe, take Bebe to the swimming pool, etc. I won't feel like a super mama/wife without spending my time with family.  fuh, enough said, I'm very tired.

anyway... continuing my previous photo posting.. 'Pemotongan Ayam Barokah'.
I pass this place everytime I go to my training project in Maguwoharjo. And today (few days after I took the picture) I saw the chickens delivery. About 10 chickens are smashed (smashed, not put) into a small container. And every trucks is full with about 64 containers or more (not large trucks, but small pick ups). can you imagine that? 640 chickens, or maybe more, was abused til death. and it's not stopped yet. After this delivery process, and before they're slaughtered, they're removed into a 6x4 storage room (Remember, 640 chicks! this means their moving spaces is only 0.315 m2 each). aaAAahh!! this is just a very tiny example, from a very small place in Maguwoharjo, Jogjakarta.


this is just another picture for battery chickens. they raised in total darkness, with rough and crowded transportation, during various weather conditions. Another concern is the use of selective breeding to create heavy, large-breasted birds, which can lead to crippling leg disorders and heart failure for some of the birds. Remember that companies growing single varieties of birds for eggs or meat are increasing their susceptiblity to disease.
Do you think you're intelligent? EAT THAT!!

it's killing time!!!

for those who don't understand what's that read,
that is : "Barokah" Chicken Butcher (barokah = gift)
sejak kapan pembunuhan dapet barokah? -
no gift for murderers
I found this in Maguwoharjo, Jogjakarta just when passing by

young age architecture?

It is hardly noticed.. but children has learned architecture since their life begun. They know light and dark, smooth and rough, color and details, to the connection of spaces.

Last Saturday, me, Clownie and Bebe went to Milas. Bebe got a new friend named Koichi (is the spelling right? my bad, sorry). When we're got there, he's playing Lego and answered "i'm so busy at the time, would you be patient? i am building a big house," when Bebe wants to play with him. Few minutes then he finished his 'big house' and showed it to his parents. His presentation is very amusing, he can beat his father's arguments (haha!). this view is so attracting, yet giving me a new point of view.

why should we shy for our designs? why should we shy to show it? a very bad stereotypical attitude for Indonesians. There's nothing wrong with the design, it will just show your point of view, your objectives, your favorite: music, colors, forms, etc. it will show you! Koichi is a good example for a self motivation. Thank you, Koichi, good night :)
