Hi! It's been a while, yes? How are you? I hope you doin okay. I've just read so many gloomy stories and listen too many gloomy songs today, well mostly i would blame it because of the weather. Jakarta's weather is crazy. So bright at noon and then suddenly a storm appears from the corner of the sky. Never forget to bring umbrella and take your vitamin. It helps a lot. 

Yesterday i had major throw up, it was the worst headache i've ever been on. It was like my head being bumped on the wall thousand times. I threw up three time, and it included everything i eat since lunch. So worry about the baby inside me, is he okay? I barely eat anything last night, every time i put something in my mouth (including water) i threw up again. But i force myself to do laundry instead tho my head banging all the time. I ended up sleeping after text my husband "awkay", because he told me to get some rest and stay away from the phone. But thankfully the headache slowly gone when i woke up for Subuh. But still, my head still heavy. I think there's something with blood circulation or blood pressure i dont know. Cant wait to go doctor this Saturday, and have a visit the baby as well.

Take care and be healthy.

Hello!

I want to spread a good news, yep i'm officially have bun in the oven, or pregnant you might say. We (me and the baby and the husband not to forget to be included) had survive the first trimester. Which for some people sound scary and horrifying because there will be so many pain (on your tits, tummy and all over your body), nonstop nausea and vomiting, change hormonal issue, or gain weight (i gain 2 kg after 2 months married on my 4 weeks pregnancy zzz) and there's more if you want a big list.

Thankfully i experienced few of those pregnancy symptoms. Which are :

- I gained weight (duh!), not too surprise about this things because i usually so easy to gain weight.

- I easily exhausted. From walking too far and too long or taking stairs on my office. Man, it was like i need to slow down my pace. No more jumping to one tile to another while walking.

- I sleep a lot, i mean A LOT! Before knowing that i'm pregnant, my husband felt weird of me because suddenly after 8 PM i said good night to him. And then after that i feel sleepy every time anywhere. I sleep during office hour on my chair which i rarely to do.

- I start eat healthy. This one thanks to dear husband who always remind me to NOT USING ANY MICIN IN EVERY MEAL I TAKE. I dont know, i dont really mind at all if there's just a lil bit vetsin on my meals hahaha. But yes, i care about my baby so i start eat more green and healthy food. But after two months my appetite decreasing, i dont know if i dont want it i just cant eat it.

- I rarely feel nauseous and never vomiting at first. I felt a lil bit sick whenever i eat too many so my tummy feels too full. But it was one or two nauseous and then it's gone. Thankfully the most scary story about pregnancy is during their nausea and vomiting problems. I have friend who also pregnant, she could come to office because the vomiting was too harsh on her. Alhamdulilah Mance (we called the baby Mance) knows that the mother need to stay fit.

- I do experience "ngidam" or too craving on something, and mostly meal from my hometown Surabaya. But i never wanted something in the middle of the night which will make me and my husband crazy haha. I think Mance knows that the father cant always be around so the baby wont ask anything silly or crazy. Just something I could get by my self. 

- I feel like a urinal machine and the bathroom is my bestfriend.

- My husband become more protective of my self and the baby. He wouldnt let me bring or lift anything. He would give me killer look whenever i tried to bring my own bag or tried to lift something he thought it was heavy. He would reminded me to walk slower or take the stairs more careful. He would ask me "are you okay?" thousands time hahaha. He always drag me to nearest chair just make sure i have proper "break time" during our grocery shopping with family. Sure he will become the best papah in the whole world. We love you paaaaaah!

- My bestfriend is pregnant too!!!

- I had bad flu and cough during pregnancy. Sooooo stressful.

They said the second trimester is the best time to travel. Because the less body ache, the baby is already strong enough, the mama also already accustomed with the pregnancy. I wonder if my husband will read this and remember what he said during our waaaaay past conversation if it in the second trimester that we will go somewhere.

Please wish us a healthy and fun pregnancy!

Hello again! First of all i would like to say Happy fasting to all Moslem in the world. Ramadhan Kareem everyone. May you're fasting will go smoothly and you always be healthy throughout this month. Thankfully Jakarta isnt too hot, in fact the rain always pouring hard in the afternoon.

Last Saturday (two weeks ago) i was join workshop held by duo behind Living Loving, Miranti and Nike. They held two workshop in Bandung which rarely because they usually held in Jakarta. The workshops are weaving session and second one is brush lettering. The weaving session was sold out so fast haha but i was more attracted to the brush lettering session with Miranti. Go check their page to find out more about classes.

Located in Parc.C Cafe and Co-working space, i love this place. It's quite and very very good place for reading or working with your laptop. The meal and beverage is not too bad, and the price was good. With the dim light and chill music accompany while you working.

Back to brush lettering, the two sessions start at once but in different area. At first, the owner of Living Loving, Miranti and Nike gave speech about Living Loving and why they held two workshop in Bandung. They said that they came to Bandung because they need to shoot two artist's house which located in Bandung for their blog. So they decided to make workshops too.
For Brush lettering, Miranti told us about the brush and ink she usually use. She teach us how to make various strokes and then we started to learn how to make the alphabet. It was so hard at first because it was my first time using brush so my hand still can not do the hard stroke. You need to relax your wrist, because it 's the main thing about brush lettering, only your wrist that need to do "dancing" with brush.

After reach Z, she told us to make simple greeting card or simple typography art. I made these two, i know one of them was kinda fail haha but still, i was proud of myself.


After finishing it Parc.C gave us yumm lunch, i tried carbonara spaghetti which really delicious. And they gave traditional drinks from Rahsa Nusantara.

Because my husband already waited me too long haha so i ask leaving early. It was a good day and experience. I will definitely join if there's another session like this.

Love,
