Happy new year everyone!! How did you spend your new year eve? Me? I fell asleep at 9 pm. You know, preggo mama couldnt handle constant drowsiness and tiredness. But i hope you had a blissful new year. Today is the third day on January and i'm counting weeks to labor. Like seriously we will become parent in the end of the month. I already took my maternity leave since last month, because my husband hate the idea i was alone in Jakarta, so he told me to take maternity leave early. So it's my third week almost 4th week stay in Bandung. I have no idea why Bandung become too hot like this. It feels like stay in my hometown, Surabaya. 

Preparing home and baby stuff is the main program while i'm here. 90% everything already packed in my hospital bag (again, it was my husband idea to prepare early). My family will come here in the middle of the month, because i dont want them being bored waiting when the baby is arrived. The baby still actively move around. The doctor said everything looks good so far. I already register in hospital for labor. So, now we're just waiting and try to prepare ourselves for the baby.

Hopefully this year everything become better and clearer for everyone. New job as parent looks scary but challenging also. Dont forget anything from last year, because it whats make us today. But once again, see you never 2016, welcome 2017!

Love,

Szasa

This is slightly embarrassing for me, our wedding was being featured on Weddingku Magazine. A little back story, after the wedding i sent few of our photos to Weddingku website and couple of weeks later i got email that they need some of information about me and the wedding and ask me to send another photos. I replied them right away and couple of days later they replied again and ask 10 more photos during the reception. Because i was busy at work and too lazy to pick photos one by one, i didnt reply their email until now (sorry). But later then, i got called from my office mailroom that someone send me package, he said it was magazines. I was puzzled, what magazine? because i never order any magazine in that time. When i open the package there were three magazines from Weddingku. I thought it must be because i gave them my address when they asked about my information. Because i didnt need wedding magazine, i ask my friends if they want the magazines. Unfortunately, we didnt have time to meet up, so the magazines still at my office desk un-open.

Last month, someone i dont know contact me through Instagram message that she wanted to ask about my wedding. She said that she saw my wedding on Weddingku magazine, and she have the same idea about wedding like mine. I was surprised because i never read any magazine which featured my wedding. I remember the Weddingku magazines which i abandoned. I start to open the magazine and search myself in it, and there was I and my husband! I was laughing so hard and immediately showed that to my office mates and i texted my husband to tell him too. It was weird to see yourself on magazine hahahaha. I didnt realize that they really featured us, that's why they sent me the magazine. Really, it takes more that 3 months before i open the magazine, really really i feel bad. Never said thank you to Weddingku for writing nicest words about our wedding. 

Thank you so much Weddingku for featured my wedding on your magazine. It was an honor being featured with some other weddings which prettier and grander than mine. My husband said it'll become evident to our children that their parent ever been on magazine.

Couple of days a go, while i was scrolling my Instagram Explore, i found this picture that really interesting. It said that we need to reduce of using the word "VERY". Because language is not made for the lazy (i've read about this on Pinterest). Because language is rich and has beautiful meaning. Oh and if i'm not mistaken, the movie starred by Robin Williams also discuss about this. This is a good reminder for me who still learning English words. Reading English language book helps a lot, watching Downton Abbey also helps.
