Mommy: Pregnancy Story 1

I have a few friends who are trying to get a lean body after they saw my fitness progress. Most of them are very surprised to know that I have a kid. Some of them asked me what types of workout that suit them especially when trying to get their pre-natal weight. I must say that different people have their own different 'style' and 'preference' to do workout. Some of us would go for Zumba, or Insanity workout. But as for me, I'd stick to something that's more on building muscles, and burning some fats (i.e. HIIT, TaeBo, etc).

Rants: Eat, Sleep and Breathe the Internet

When Abraham Maslow published a paper on the hierarchy of basic human needs in 1943, the theory only states four (4) needs that must be met before self-actualization can be achieved, i.e. psychological, safety, belonging, and self-esteem. However, considering with the current trends and technology advancement, Maslow's theory needs to be modified by including WiFi as part of human needs to complete the whole self-actualization.

Community: Help Pitas to Build Road

When there is a scarcity in the infrastructure, it means nearly all the rural population are forced to depend on their own subsistence farming for their own food and monetary income. Investment in development and maintenance road infrastructure would contribute towards trade development because road infrastructure opens up unconnected regions to trade and investment. Not only it would improve access to goods, services and employment opportunities, but also leads to sustainable growth and development of the economy which arises due to the multiplier effects of government spending on infrastructure in the economy.

I Wish I'd Said That!

Sometimes I get frustrated as I look at my Facebook timeline. People complaining, insulting, arguing, and keep on re-posting sensitive issues over the Facebook. I would love to see a positive one - with encouraging, and inspiring ones - Enough to make me think that the day is just another challenging phase of life. Rather than wasting my time on Facebook, I'd rather read blogs written by people who share beautiful pictures, sayings, stories, or even ideas with anyone who's willing to look. I believe that they wanted to keep an archive of everything that is important to them - What they believe in, who they believe in, and basically the things that make them feel alive.

5 Things I Hate Being Pregnant

Photo by Schwangerschaft

Pregnancy is beautiful, and can be full of excitement. However, it can be irritating (sometimes...).

Small to Large

I always remind myself not to think about Kim K's baby bump as I always get goosebumps whenever I see her baby bump photos over the Internet. I even remind myself to eat moderately, beat all the cravings, and control my blood pressure and sugar level. I have to 'sacrifice' all my sexy dresses because of the baby bump. I cut off my spending on dresses and jeans due to the fact that 'I-am-getting-larger-than-before'. It's a good thing too as I can save more in my banks. Frankly speaking, I hate when some people say that I look like a pig when having a baby bump. Never insult a pregnant woman. That's a taboo.

Let Me Get My Girly Shit: Handbag

A woman cannot live without her handbag. It's part of trophy of femininity - We put almost everything inside there (you can say we even have spare tampons or G-string inside there). Like the kangaroo’s pouch, it seems part of all we are. You can be sure that a woman has been kidnapped or murdered if the handbag is left behind and the woman is nowhere to be found. If you ask me what's one thing that I cannot live without, besides chocolate of course, my answer would be "It’s a fabulous handbag!"

Scary Mommy

I must say that life is kicking great lately (even though I stumble once in a while). Yet, I still feel grateful for the blessings and people around me - both good and bad ones. I usually skip the bad ones, why should I have them on my list, then? Ambil yang jernih, buang yang keruh. Life must go on, anyway. Let those people do the talks. If they believe in karma, then they should be aware that whatever they spit might come back to them, sooner or later.
