"never explain yourself to anyone, because persons who like you don't need it, and persons who don't like you won't believe it."
i know that quote. but it won't stop me. gasp.
i firstly made this blog for 'semi' commercial purpose. i could imagine me giving house design advices or some architectural notes to some random readers who need it. something with value and a little bit of theoretical substances, that come in a light and simple package, making it easier to be understood.
i was an architecture student. yes, maybe i wasn't so bright, but i have basics. i was an architecture journalist. yes, maybe it wasn't so impressive, but there i've seen some more. i have an architect husband. well, at least i'll always have his back, or just back home, that's ultimate. and so anyway, i have resources. and mostly, i like, i love, to resurfacing these topics i'm in, always.
so maybe, i thought, if i do make a comeback, splurge on whatever resources i had, i thought, well... i maybe can sell some designs, one or two :D
but then again it hit me. knowing those scientifically artsy creatures and spaces developing each day, watching the designer younglings arise, catching their seniors who grown good and settled somewhere in their design realms... it keeps me itchy, first in my thumb. online updates never more than just glimpse of corners and captions. and on magazines, updates seems never more than just cliche breakdowns or sometimes that typical sort-out presentations. it keeps me haunted.
second, it's itchy in my head. the thing is, i exactly know persons who can splurge things in that matter whole a lot better. and i feel like i can do that even better, to deliver. more than giving advices or selling things. i might not the best writer or whatsoever, but i would like to give a shot. and i might not have nothing to offer, except my personal instagram account where i would post no person but me and my close family only. there i could make us my exception. maybe i can post our photos, one or two :D
and so what do i want again? just an interview. or a chat does sounds better, for a start :)
then it'll be delightful if i can have photos, of you, your works and else. moreover if i can come myself to take photos. but that we can discuss later :D
.....
.....
that my friend, was something i could gain to propose those architect for a personal interview. yes, those cool arrogant selfish mastermind figures.
i feel so wrecked.
that's good enough for a first draft anyway, right?!
....and in a time like this i'm so relieved i don't publish this blog to anyone.
:D

a bit. kinda. desperately. want to work out.
:D
waiting the right moment (coughing $$$) to get back my yoga time.
while am counting days and considering the efficiency if i want to get back to my preggy time.
several blogpost topics floating in my mind already; about this 1st home, the mothers, life quotes.
but no wifi connection at home lately, and iphone hotspot costs quite a lot (coughing $$$).
our cool new house (surely) doesn't take too long to be home.
need no more pics update because its already a lot.
and even there are 2 media person contact us already, to publish us (our house),
hopefully we can work the undone parts.... which are about 50% i guess xD
....i don't know, can't predict well, but well... i have my finger crossed.
just thinking like it almost time to bring the work, our kind of works, to the next level :)
while still i spend days staring at my dearly living room, snuggling dudes in my left and right above our dearly white sheeted bed, insignificantly lying on the sofa below the breezy air from the fan.
a bless that will forever be my pleasure i can't get bored of. that it will felt so wrong for stop working and not gaining any more goodness from it. so wait wait :) hopefully wait, i'll figure something out.

shaka, age 6
Saturday, December 12, 2015
loves Octonauts, Peppa Pig, and Ben and Holly.
but always says that he's fan of Ninjago and Ben 10, for the sake of coolness.
has Mixel lego creature in his wishlist for a year.
but when its time to buy, always falling for Korean cute-tech savvy vehicle-robot like Superwings.
loves Transformers literally because it can transform.
then he creates anything that transform while in imaginary-playing.
having his first robot toy and so happy about it.
dislike minions.
doc mcstuffin is a guilty pleasure.
his girlfriends say he is cute.
he says back grumpily, "no i'm cool!"
then the girl will even go crazier.
has cried watching a movie for the first time, A Good Dinosaur.
cry like a river, and the gloomy thought remaining for days.
got over Sammie ToysRUs channel.
big fan of Evantube HD channel.
cant get enough of VAT19.com
......imaginarily having his page at shaka/vat19.com
.......that's how he put his mark on some papers or walls
don't want monotonous order in a restaurant
"nanti aja liat dulu dong di restorannya ada apa"
and he keeps end up in good old chicken steak, chicken rice, nasi lele, or mi ayam.
demanding for his own adult-style, no, man-style wallet.
he got it, so happy about it, very possesive about it.
waiting his tooth falling out.
means he's growing up and its so cool.
means tooth fairy can exchange it for some money for his wallet.
like to keep his hair long.
want to have pimples.
keep losing his flipflops.
like to have his tops tucked in his pants.
loves subject science, PE, IT
always get challenged by math quizzes.
desperately wanna grow up.
but want to stay with mommy forever.
willing to buy a land near this home of ours
so when he has to move out he will live near still
believe that papi can do everything.
i'm still failing to explain that it's not true.
keep drawing anything with rainbow.
all titled with "Its A Beautiful Day"
he always put the color in correct order.
start to mention about finding treasure in the end of the rainbow.
value his go-to-bed prayer so much.
when im not around, he yells
"mama, bismika-nya berapa kali? 1 apa 3 apa 5?"
"...3 aja deh kayak biasa ya"
"kalo kata Allah bilangnya apa?"
"........."
when half asleep already, he whispers
"mama, shaka di-bismillah-in..."
well.......i always do, kid.
i always do.

when december comes
time to update milestones :)
firstly first about the house, i finally decided to put it only in tumblr. too lazy to put here in a blog post. the progress mainly are at the backyard ...or at least that is how the kid call it, some small open space at the back part of the house. then the lightings, kitchen table and backsplash, drainage, ...well a lot of little random here and there waiting to be finalized actually. cant imagine what progress could be done in 2 weeks, but... we actually planned an open house by the end of this year XD HA!
that was around time and when that little kid of mine hit 6. i said there will be no 'party', like some diy decors or goody bag, but insyaallah we will still invite friends and families. the schedule will be more like 'selametan' :) berdoa. slash housewarming (party). double slash open house, because actually i still have no idea about partying at this kind of tight schedule time. some papi's deadline also in this month, and i am too preparing mid-year class party at school... preparing like, responsible for the decor wholly. semacam kurang kerjaan, tapi gimana lagi, kalo udh dapet job desc anaknya all-out. hahahah,... so again just like another december, i am busy with diy-project and printable design XD wish me luck. no, wish us luck. not yet new year but so many target already for 3 of us. alhamdulillah...
as for the kid, he is too definitely actually has target. cheap one, but pretty real actually. specially at catching up english score to excel the passing grade XD just got back from parent-teacher conference a.k.a rapotan this morning. just like figured, his reading-writing skill still become his obstacle. hmmm welll... he can read, but not really. words just don't come easily yet. so of course it will be hard to comprehend still. and he can write, but still on invented writing, aka phonic based only, that surely will fail his english subject. figuratively i know, its normal. i already checked his milestones, and read articles about his age and those skills. He's basicly doing just fine, and anyhow he's the youngest in the class. december born, remember. but, without any intention to comparing to his friends and excusing his age, it just feels not right to just say, "ah it's ok" :)
that's just not what some best efforts can do. and giving best efforts is one of what we value in the family. i've been delaying reading course for a year by now by the way. his progress anyhow is very good. right about last year he cannot read, and can write his name only. now he can read mini books with companion (just to keep him steady and consistent), and start to comprehend slowly. now too, he can write stories, like about 5 sentences long, although still in invented spelling.
"he hes 20 appl s. he its 8. he kennot it sum more"
cute ya :) im so glad i still able to see cuteness in it anyway. but well, gotta move on baby. we've chosen the educational track, we have to adapt, and we have to give our best efforts. hello integrity and content ! to be honest, there's a bit of me says hooray knowing that he's still lack of appraisal sense. hahaa yes i am actually still trying to put efforts carefully regarding those value and age milestones. we always are. so the thrilling scores are actually part of the struggle. i always say, wait until he's 6. wait until term 4. ala ala tes ombak. HA! XD fingercrossed sampe naik kelas.
by the end of this month he will be 6. im so glad seeing him still as brilliant as he used to be. may he will always have those sparkly eyes of spirits and curiosity ....errr sama bolehlah, kalo reading readyness nya dateng cepetan XD sekarang udah mulai ngasih prolog tentang phonics extra classes nih, alias les baca. hahahahahh soalnya assesmentnya sekarang banyakan paper nak... kalo ujiannya presentasi semua, gak usah belajar juga masi optimis deh dapet full score, kan rugi bandarrrr. stay strong baby, your readyness will catch up! and for the rest... as usual i have faith in you undoubtedly :) i always do.
be always happy and never forget that you are awesome already.
stay curious and always remember Allah, the ultimate one.
never give up to be all out and sincere.
and one more... be kind and believe me, it's cool :D
i read in an article, sometimes soon not only his first tooth will fall out, he's imagination dreamland will start to fade out too in this age. and yes things do get more realistic as he entered elementary. he was at the highest level of baby last year. now he's like in the first new phase of big kid :) not that it was scary, but good luck kid, my forever baby. may you have your journey safe and sound.
XOXO

we moved! we moved!
Wednesday, September 30, 2015
everyday is such brand new day, like literally.
hari ini temboknya putih, besok khaki. besoknya lagi pintu dipasang. terus hooknya. terus sofa masuk. terus dispenser. terus karpet. terus cermin. dst dst. yang pasti hari ini giliran pohon, yeiy! more life to come! told ya, now we're in the camping ground phase =D
this is somehow unusual, subconsciously i know, i think.
karena kemarin sempet mimpi yg agak kontekstual. tentang aliens, refugees, nomaden, rumbles xD bless us and keep us all safe and sound ya Allah ya... its just, this is like irresistibly fascinating. yea i admit it, we gotta drag some extra brave (not to mention shameless xD) guts to move in this soon. but, BUT, someway somehow, we chose this than any other options. we can only stand our homeless phase in a week. just right after we installed the bed, toilet, shower, and aircon, we decided to stay overnight. and it didnt take so long for us to call this site as home. like whenever the kid got sleepy, even if we're in some cozy place or relatives's house, he will ask to go back home.
here home. alhamdulillah...
out of being grumpy for not finishing the house right away, the other most lovable fact is that it really is not only me (and probably si papi yg ga tau deh sebenernya merasa gimana xD) who get the excitement every time any single thing in this house done installed. the kid does too! i dont know if its just becoming some habbits or reflects or whatever... but i feel like we can really share the perks of living here together. here at our very own house. here at this camping ground. i really really am cant fool myself. out of this and that, among what society would normally say, i am so happy. that i want to put some giggling emoticon.

hihihi... yep some perky eyes like that could sorta do. soon i will post some snapshot from our daily life here. and soon, hopefully sooon, the house will be done. at least theoritically, so that our happines could become even more legit xD amen.
