INTERNET! It's Always Been Internet. It's still internet!

Image
It's kind of a frustrating part of my life. I can't get an internet connection lately so I can't use my laptop, and my smart home system is in trouble. I want my internet back to normal just like the first time I use this internet provider. The due date for a payment is on the 10th of every month so I always do a due date of payment and never be late.   Something happen to my router.   Or maybe it's my DSL.   Or something...   whatttt???   I'm demented.   I learn something about myself when I can't get online. I have an addiction. I think this addiction is still normal and maybe people do the same. When I can't log on, I start overbreathing, freaking out that I miss something... I don't even know what I miss, but I'm sure I miss SOMETHING! Something big and important and terribly exciting! My heart's beating a million times in a minute and I always twitch. I, the person who use to say that laptop is evil because I can'...

Time ... Time ... Time ... I need moreee time!

Nowadays I c an't write. No time. Must prepare, pack... (move my butt in a quick way just like a splash lightning blinding eyes) ANYTIME. Nothing to wear because I can't control weight since I love eating is exactly the same as a jaguar eats meat harshly. Have to do report cards. Need to start cooking. Have to finish laundry. Must start a new business. Have to make some ideas in engaging my kids so we have precious time together. Need to finish my students pas. Must clean bathrooms. Positively have to pay bills. Have to take one daughter and the other one to different school, music courses and many places. Sometimes they ask something different that I can't handle at once. Need to call and communicate le hubby who works in Tanjungpinang (Thanks Mark Z. you have already made my life worthwhile since you created Meta Platforms). Sometimes le hubby and I talk in particular on the phone and most of them we do a sleep call and make the phone's died by itself. Need to make ar...

A Truth of Myself

I was born in Surabaya (according to my kids, a long, long, loooong time ago.) I was a perfectly normal kid who collected coins, invented imaginary friends, ate junk food, and wrote stories about people and places that were far more interesting than real life. In grade school I often heard the phrase, “Reyza spends a lot of time talking and daydreaming instead of doing her work.” It wasn’t until the 5 th  grade that teachers started saying, “Reyza spends a lot of time talking instead of doing her work, but she comes up with creative stories.” I took that as a green light to continue talking and telling stories. It sure beat the heck out of learning my times tables. In January 2013 I got married and started having kids. Arsya was born in the last month in 2013, followed by Arsy. Yes, I know their names sounds like twin girls. Yes, I did it on purpose. Yes, they’re all mine. Yes, they have the same father. Yes, I know what causes that.  With 2 kids, I considered myself a parenti...

Celebrating Indonesia's Independence Day At Home

Image
  Independence Day at home was a memorable one! Tried to ensemble all the festivity around the neighborhood right into our living room (well we have enough squad members for all the hype anyways) Thank goodness my mother iş here so we set up everything night long. We did all the possibly baby proof games like cracker eating rice and putting pencil in the bottle. YES we thought about Balap Karung and Panjat Pinang but my mom and I came with 1001 hazards that could came along with it so we finally decided to leave them at rest. Alhamdulillah Ya Allah for this simple happiness. May this Independence Day build our pride further as an Indonesian and May our country be blessed by the Almighty forever, Aamiin 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Mama... You're the One Forever!

Image
Mama loves everybody. And we love her too. She is so non judgmental about people. I mean, whoever walk through the door, my mom is there to greet them and she is so warm and loving with everybody, no matter what walk of life they come from. She is so gracious ♥ So instead I thought I’d take a moment to say thank you to my mama for some of the ways she has enriched my life. Thank you mama for teaching me manners, and helping me understand that the feelings of others are important. Thank you for teaching me to be considerate and compassionate. Thank you for letting me follow you around the kitchen, for fostering my love of cooking, and for letting me make breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks for letting us spend so much time with our friends. I am only now appreciating what a gift that is in my life. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made to make sure we got a good education. Thank you mama for everything  ♥

"Happy Heart Day" every day, Lovers!

Image
 Valentine’s Day or I call it "Heart Day" has a wonderful sentiment – that we should celebrate love and lovers, that we should name the emotions that often sit silent in our heart. But why have just one day for the celebration of love on February 14th? Why not live with that sense of appreciation and joy every day! And of course it’s not just for the young, for couples, and for romantic love. Love is an emotion that is available to us all. Sending you all lots of love lovers ♥
