Get Up, Survive, Go Back To The Bed

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

Tahun baru adalah waktu yang tepat untuk beres-beres. Karena biasanya ada energi berlebih di setiap awal tahun untuk melakukan hal-hal baik. hehe. Udah lama banget aku pengen declutter barang-barang yang aku punya di kos. Sekarang tuh aku tinggal di kamar kos-kosan 3x4 tapi kok barang-barang aku kayaknya bisa buat serumah. *Sigh

So, tahun ini aku berencana untuk melakukan declutter secara bertahap. Oh iya, declutter itu maksudnya menyingkirkan barang-barang atau item-item yang tidak penting dari suatu tempat yang sudah terlalu ramai atau berantakan. Rencananya aku pengen bisa  selesai beres-beres 12 kategori besar dari barang-barang yang aku punya dalam tiga bulan ke depan. 

Here is the plan:

Januari 

Minggu 1 : Pakaian (Semua jenis pakaian)

Minggu 2 : Buku dan majalah

Minggu 3 : Dokumen

Minggu 4 : Laptop files

February

Minggu 1 : Beauty products and toiletries

Minggu 2 : Food Storage

Minggu 3 : Aksesoris

Minggu 4 : Tas dan sepatu

March

Minggu 1 : Stationary

Minggu 2 : Miscellaneous (Toys, etc)

Minggu 3 : Fridge

Minggu 4 : Mobile phone

Additional:

April - Desember

Declutter hati 

:p

Kalau misalnya aku bisa menyelesaikan semuanya sebelum bulan Maret justru bagus banget. Karena semakin cepat ya semakin bagus. Nanti aku akan update dan share proses declutternya juga.

Yang jelas aku pengennya dikelilingi sama barang-barang yang bikin aku seneng bukan justru ngerasa kayak ada beban. Kalian pernah nggak sih ngerasa kalau punya banyak barang tapi nggak happy gitu? Nah aku nggak pengen kayak gitu. Pengennya barang-barang yang aku simpan ya yang bisa bikin aku semangat buat memakai dan ngeliatnya.

Semangat!

MALAM

So happy that now I'm typing this blog post from my home sweet home bedroom at my hometown, Jambi. Really love the atmosphere here because I am surrounding by lovely fams, mommy, daddy, my sister - Mei, and  granny. Nice to see all the faces that I love so much.

I was surprised by the appearance of my Mom's kindergarten.  Such a more lovely place for children I think. I'm going to take tons of outfit pictures there. Please do wait for my outfit post. Hehe.

Following my heart,

Yulia Rahmawati

Oh I'm so sleepy today.
While there are so many things to do.

And...

Tomorrow I'm going to visit my hometown for holiday, 

Yeaaaaaaay!

Following my heart,

This is a super special blog post, 
I prefer to write it in Bahasa Indonesia, 
but the English version still written 
at the end of this blog post.
Don't worry :)



(Int.)

Sepertinya yulia harus berhenti memelihara kaktus, dalam waktu dua bulan 2 kaktus mati sudah di kamar kosnya.

Kaktus pertama. Kaktus pertama mati dalam waktu seminggu saja setelah kebersamaan mereka dan meninggalkan luka menganga lebar tersodok pegangan kuas pemerah pipinya ketika mbak Nem, sebut saja begitu, membantunya merapikan kamar. Menyedihkan memang karena kaktusnya mati di tangan orang lain, tapi toh itu kuas pemerah pipinya, oh la la apa mau dikata.

Kaktus kedua. Seminggu kemudian Yulia bertemu kaktus baru namun sayang seribu sayang kaktus kedua mati sendiri beberapa hari setelah yulia tak sengaja menjatuhkannya dari atas meja. Kebersamaan mereka lumayan lama, lebih dari sebulan tapi mungkin memang belum berjodoh, yulia harus rela menyaksikan kaktusnya sekarat dari hari ke hari semenjak terjatuh dari meja.

Tapi kesempatan akan selalu ada kalau Yulia mau, meskipun bukan lagi kaktus-kaktus yang sama. Yulia harus percaya kesempatan untuknya masih ada asalkan Yulia lebih berhati-hati dan berjanji tidak akan berhenti mencintai kaktus, semoga kaktus berikutnya bisa bertahan hingga berbunga untuk Yulia.

Dan ....

ya, kemarin yulia bertemu kaktus yang lain di sebuah pasar ketika ia hendak membeli mawar. Yang membuat yulia senang bukan kepalang adalah kaktusnya akan segera berbunga. Yes, berbunga! Karena yang yulia tahu, kaktus biasanya baru bisa berbunga dalam hitungan tahun, dan kaktus yang berdiri di hadapannya akan segera berbunga, tentu saja kaktus itu super mega berhasil membuat yulia merogoh kantong uangnya. Meskipun sebenarnya ia masih takut, takut kalau-kalau tidak bisa menjaga kaktus barunya. Yah, semacam semacam orang yang belum move on tapi sudah pacaran lagi. ehm.




Benar saja beberapa hari kemudian si kaktus berbunga, warnanya pink keunguan, cantik sekali, yulia membayangkan bunga kaktus itu seperti pita di kepala anak perempuan. Cantik. Imajinya tidak berhenti sampai di sana, kemudian yulia menaruh kepala seorang wanita cantik di atas kaktusnya (lihat foto di bagian bawah setelah menyelesaikan membaca paragraf ini), whooaaah, sekarang kaktusnya terlihat seperti a super mega fashionable haute couture yang dikenakan oleh seorang beautiful lady, a cacti lady :D

Ohhhh, klimaks!

English description:

I killed two cacti during 2 months of our togetherness. The first one died right after someone hit my cactus with my blush on brush, while my second cactus which I bought a week after dying day by day after I dropped them from the table. Actually I would like to stop taking care of cacti because I am affraid I am going to do something wrong and killed another cactus but oh I just I can't help myself to have another one if I find the right one later :D

And yesterday I found a new cactus, I was so lucky that the cactus has flowers on it and about to bloom. And then not waiting for so long my new cactus bloomed. Alhamdulillah. Really love to see the super mini pink mixed purple flower on my cactus since I ever read that usually cactus can produce a flower after years. Gotta take care of my new cactus more carefully.

And look at the last picture, my cactus looks like a super mega awesome haute couture wore by a beautiful lady, a cacti lady :)

I think I would love to make this blog more personal, like some random posting about my personal daily activities, lets say my self portrait when washing my clothes, for example. Yeah that kind of things, or maybe just a line of wise words I found in a day, more of my thoughts, everything,,, 

"about me." 

Happy birthday best mom in the world.  Barakallah for you ya Mommy, may Allah always be with you. We love you. 

Tanggal 3 Juli kemarin salah seorang kesayangan saya yang saya panggil dengan banyak panggilan, mama, ibu, emak, bunda, mami, mom, mommy berulangtahun. Yeaaayyy, selamat ulang tahun bunda. Semoga bunda semakin disayang Allah dan umurnya selalu diberkahi Allah SWT. Amin ya rabbal 'alamin. By the way wanita cantik yang duduk di tengah itu emak saya, kalau yang di sebelah kiri adalah adik saya satu-satunya, dia seorang penggila Korea yang baik :D. Semoga saya bisa segera pulang ke rumah biar bisa menciumi pipi wanita-wanita kesayangan saya. 

Selain itu, salah satu rencana saya ketika pulang nanti adalah saya mau membuat foto portrait ayah, emak, adik, dan nenek saya di rumah. Foto portrait yang bagus. Sebenarnya saya sudah sering sekali memotret bunda, tapi tidak terlalu diseriusi. Saya juga terinspirasi oleh salah satu pengajar favorit saya di Kelas Pagi Jakarta, mas Yogi, yang pagi-pagi sekali sudah mengingatkan kelas hari itu untuk memotret orang tua kita. Ada benarnya juga, bayangkan saja, kita sudah punya segala macam foto, kecuali foto orang tua kita. Mungkin kalian juga bisa coba memotret orang-orang terdekat, orang-orang kesayangan :D 

Selamat memotret dan mencinta :D

I MISS YOU, I REALLY DO

Hello, sorry for being absence from blogging this past week. Hell yeah the weather and so many things to do plus I have to go back home late everyday from my IELTS course and oh also the queue at Trans Jakarta shelter combined with traffic. Normally it takes one hour to go to my course place, but at night it takes two hours, even more than double. At the end my body gave up and got sick for almost one week and skipped three IELTS class because I was busy lied down on my bed :p

Yesterday I feel better, thank God, and cooked something for myself and then took pictures of it. A very simple recipe, corn soup filled in with spinach and tofu, and because I love something spicy I put more white pepper and onion into the soup. Really nice to sip one bowl of hot complete corn soup when you are getting sick or when the weather is cold. I never getting bored eating corn soup, even it is a cup of corn soup in one of fast food restaurant where actually there is nothing inside the soup they served to the customer, but I still love to order one cup, hehe, weird I know.

Do you know, when I took the pictures I felt like I got energy injection somewhere inside my body. And got sweats is something nice because that means you are getting better soon. You can also drink hot green tea to complete your green day if you want. So, here is the result from one of my green days and wish me get a better health soon and never get sick anymore :D

Time flies fastly, even faster than what I can remember. Thanks God I have this blog, at least this blog reminds me some of memories left behind. Now, the first day of 2013 almost change, and I just don't wanna miss it. So that I decided to write even just a little here, just to reminds me that I still believe in hopes and dreams in every walk I step into the days after.

2012 taught me so many things, poured me so many taste of life. I wish I can learn more, share more, and feel more in 2013. 

As time goes fastly, I know I grow and grow and grow up fastly as well. Not only literally grow up but I have to grow up where most people called it mature. We can't change our surroundings, the one who have to change is someone we called "ourselves". Then trust me, the world will change with us.

I have some resolution to be realized in 2013, some of them is become closer to Allah SWT, read some certain books, blogging regularly, continuing my master degree at Ohio State University or finish my master degree at Jakarta State University, drink more, seeing different view of Indonesia, and expanding my businesses.

May Allah give me strength, healthiness and His mercy to me in every step I take. Amin.

This time I decided to share my drawing and my poetry taken from my visual diary at October 3rd and 4th, 2012. The tittle of the poetry is "Mencintai Hujan" (in love with the rain). I prefer not to translate the whole poetry to English, because I think my poetry sounds much more beautiful in Bahasa than when I translate it to English. But if I have much time, I will try to make the translation to my "Mencintai Hujan" poetry. And I also did not colouring my drawing, I just love to see my black and white picture. So, enjoy people!
