| it's a bit early to do a closing entry, but i figured it probably be another semester until i write an entry which would be about the welcoming of a special member in the family... may, to be exact, is the due date predicted for the birth of a special someone, a new addition to me and dut!
the year has been great, with several changes happening, some are good, others not so pleasant.. personally, i just feel that it's part of the challenges that i need to face so that i can grow up into a bigger and better person.. and i do thank God that i don't get stressed easily,... work has been more challenging, not because of a demanding job, but rather, a totally negative and unreasonable boss whose way of thinking is beyond my wildest imagination... but then again, it's part of life! i suppose i could just quit but i guess i will face the same thing should i move on to a new job, and to find a new job will be another risk to take with the current economy situation...
ok can't think of anything else, grey's anatomy is getting more concentration than this blog...

| perhaps i shouldn't have jinxed my state of orderliness by complaining and asking for excitement... now my peace at work has been shaken.. the (local) management for the brand that i've been working for has been merged with several other brands so now i've got a new boss... and like all other change in management, it comes with a few new rules that we will have to follow... there's a major restructuring and i'll just say that it's not gonna be pleasant for some of us... while some has been promoted, others will be demoted (or maybe get discharged) and it stirred a bit of emotion in the office.... i've heard rumors flying around regarding the new management and it's quite hard to keep my mind open due to the notoriety, but we'll wait and see if it's true.. i'll make my own judgment.

| the week's been rather slow with 2 of my colleagues and my manager off to hong kong for paid vacation/training... but it was the discovery made at home which makes my week highlight-able... due to the fact that my carpool mates weren't available, i had to drive on my own to work... +ves: can get up later, can come home earlier, flexible schedule, independent, can go to the stores or anytime i want... -ves: the parking and gasoline alone cost me rp 200k/ week  ! enough to override all the good points and convince me not to drive on my own!!!
well, the few days that i was able to come home by 6.30 have relight the chef spirit in my heart again... it was a long long time ago since i last made an extensive proper dinner (fried rice and instant noodles don't count!) the last time i cooked from scratch was when i was preparing dinner for my caregroup back in lafayette or when i was trying up a new recipe in kokomo... and that was like 2003! in the 5 years between 2003 and the premarital condition, i am hardly in the kitchen for more than 10 minutes, and even if i was supposed to cook, in the end, the maid took over all the things i planned to do, and i was just there with my arms folded only to give instructions.... but the last few days were different... since i am unable to stop by my parents house, and dut's parents are away, it is crucial for our survival that i prepare dinner, otherwise we'd die of starvation (ok, that's a bit exaggerated)... so i was there in MY kitchen, 0 maid present, reliving the joy of cooking again, and it was fun... i admit that it's not always cheaper to cook on my own coz rp 10k can get your stomach full, but home cooking is a luxury nowadays! and i'm not talking about all the sharks fin or lobsters here... dut's taste buds aren't severely challenged and i dun have a recipe book to follow, but as long as i can whip up a decent meal (his decent meals consist of soup or a vegie and meat dish, no exquisite aesthetics required) he's satisfied... and there is nothing better for a wife than for her husband to enjoy her cooking! and believe it or not, i'm pretty happy if this becomes my lifestyle...
so there's the third post, actually there's still more stuffs running through my head, but 3 posts a day should be enough.... will do burst posts again soon...

|  i first read the news from susie bubble, with her peanut butter and olives metaphore, in fact i was quite surprised how in the world that marks & spencer could get patricia field (hello, stylist to the devil wears prada, sex and the city!! winner of emmy award and owner to her own namesake brand) to design for them... from what i noticed, they've been trying to revamp their image from this unfashionable gross retail store to a trendier boutique-y brand... starting with twiggy, noemi, erin o'connor, and mylene klass, and then with lily cole as the latest limited brand campaign, and now pat field!
existing in quite a number of countries (can't exactly remember how many, but the folks in US won't be happy!), m&s is not exactly a match made in heaven with pat fields... i know the brand is thought of old fashioned and conservative by many ppl in indonesia, with the customer base of older women (due to the higher dispensable income) but it's getting better! now more younger customers have started to patronize the shops....
i don't know how the 24 pieces (35 total, but only 24 will be available to the indonesian market) of the collection "destination style new york" will be received by the people here in october with the film scheduled to be released in july (the kate moss for topshop was a blah here!).. it's something to look forward too... yes it's a publicity stunt! how else would you find the opportunity to be dressed by the red haired lady? unless of course you can get on a plane and drop by her boutique in new york.... it will be fun to see if there will be people waiting in line on the day the clothes are released!

|  the victoria's secret annual sale is here... it's been a week or so in fact and me being the bargain hunter that i am have ordered some "christmas presents" for myself.... why christmas? coz i ain't paying the shipping fee to indonesia just for it to get lost in customs! so the solution: ask my dear friend renny who's coming home for christmas to bring it back for me... hehehe a bit too early for christmas shopping but a good deal never hurts and by then its a good time to update my lingerie wardrobe... anyways, if you plan to order some, rather than using the semisale offer code for the free shipping, it's more cost savvy to use the offer code for the 3 tier discount... just google "victoria's secret offer code" and you can find the code... for those of you who has the vs credit card can even stack the discount with free shipping.. ok, happy shopping!! | | |
