Turned out this kind of time of the year is always emotional. After reading last year's Catatan Akhir Tahun, it became emotional again. I guess it's the reason why it's called Catatan Akhir Tahun. I had three major phases this 2018. Here we go! JANUARY 2018 Running a gym was a huge thing. Literally a huge thing. I got to spend less time with my husband, as well as him with our daughter. But somehow we believe it was for a greater good. His uncle helped out so much with the opening and we were grateful people are very supportive. I had a Singapore trip with Skylar while I was only 4 months pregnant. It was very challenging yet fun. Sky was very kind and cheerful, it was really a baby moon worth remembered! FEBRUARY 2018 Pregnancy is getting funnier and funner. I'm helping Nash with building Luxuvere team and interviewed some interesting people. Campus was also fun as I got to teach one last time before I had my maternity leave. Guess what? I had International ...

Mirip sama acara TV ya judul post ini? Sengaja, biar catchphrase aja sama kontennya. Seperti hasil polling dari I nstagram aku beberapa waktu lalu bahwa aku pengen konsisten nulis lagi. Yhaa setelah vakum sewindu dari dunia blogger, bisalah dicoba-coba lagi ngejar tayang menjelang akhir tahun, biar nggak garing isinya sampe ke Catatan Akhir Tahun lagi, lol. Nah, kali ini aku mau sharing soal dunia kerja dan start up company . Sebenernya sotoy aja sih, karena yang dishare adalah pengalaman pribadi yang super.... cetek alias shallow, alias biasa aja, alias nggak umum dan nggak bisa digeneralisasi. Tapi ya blog blog gue, ya suka suka gue! Anyway, a couple of years back, I have been involved with this digital/online magazine called Eat Vacation and Luxuvere . Basically, these 2 are in the same group, Luxuvere, but containing different types of contents. I used to be the Editor/Writer back then at Eat Vacation, and now moving (up?) to the HR for both brands. It's quite interesti...

Barusan habis riset via chat WA sama beberapa temen cowok (dan cewek) tentang "if I ask you "majalah cowok" what crosses your mind?" You know what majority answer is? PLAYBOY. That's number one most answers. Nggak kaget, sama sekali nggak kaget. Habis buka Google pun yang keluar entry sejenis kok: Tentunya nama nama di atas muncul juga kok di jawaban temen-temenku, baik yang cowok maupun cewek. Kata lain yang keluar adalah "popular" "men's health" "Music & Guitar" "atletis" "cewek seksi" dan beberapa nama majalah tua yang hanya dia yang jawab (re: mas Arya) lol. But seriously, many answers came back and they are all quite reasonable and interesting.. like this one: ANYWAY It's safe to say that men have literature to read too, lol, nope joking. I mean, men have things to read too, even I think more categories compared to ladies': 1. Fashion, 2. Horoscope, 3. Lifestyle, 4. Bea...

So hi! Perhaps you arrived at this page because you clicked my bio on Instagram, that's okay! I have just a few updates of what I am and I do and I have now. Rivero Karim Alhakim was born on June 5th 2018. He was almost 3.9kg and it was an incredible experience for me giving birth to a baby boy. He has been very cooperative throughout the trimesters I had since 2017 and the timing he picked was fantastic, 12:50 AM (I think). I breastfeed him just okay although he's a bit demanding. He grows UP SO FAST I can feel him getting heavier each day minute. My husband was so amazing and very supportive, I don't know how he turned into a wise gentleman in only 2 years after Sky's birth. Totally worth the wait! Skylar Erka Putri (or I'd rather call her Skylar Shabrina Kurniawan) , well she is 2 and a half just 4 days ago, and she has been a cool and fun sister to hang out with. I can tell she had some phases and tantrum during her siblinghood since the arrival of her l...

WATCH THIS!!! I am still not sure if 'women' have to be celebrated. I don't know if I am a feminist, or a non-feminist, or a neutral one if there's such thing. I used to agree to equality and respect for male and female because humans are not to be divided by their sex, biological differences, and gender. I think what makes a human human is how much they mean to themselves, their society, their future. As simple as that. But that simple thing gets more complicated when I break down the phrase 'how much they mean'. What does that even mean? Let's discuss the popular one, #metoo and #timesUp issues, which are honestly a tip of the iceberg of women's problem. Only because the 'victims' are within Hollywood parameter, they become an explosion in the world. In the past, I have read and heard so much worse problems women had to face; discrimination, pressure, harassment, human-rights violation, planned marriage, political marriage, affairs, abort...

Belakangan ini, trend berkunjung dan update status lagi di museum sedang hits, baik di dalam maupun luar negeri, baik kalangan pelajar maupun masyarakat umum. Selain karena alasan mau belajar sejarah, ternyata ke museum juga memperkaya pengetahuan kita tentang hal baru yang belum kita dengar sebelumnya. Di Ibukota Jakarta, tentunya banyak nama museum yang terlintas di pikiran kamu, tapi coba cek tiga museum berikut ini, dijamin banyak yang bahkan tidak tau keberadaan museum ini. 1.      Museum Jendral Abdul Harris Nasution. Gerakan Pemberontakan 30 September 1965 pastinya bukan hal yang asing buat kita semua; pasti pernah dengar atau bahkan belajar di bangku sekolah saat pelajaran sejarah. Peristiwa pemberontakan terhadap ideologi Pancasila ini terjadi dengan sangat keji di sebagian besar wilayah Indonesia terutama pulau Jawa. Prasasti, nama dan peninggalan juga banyak terangkum di Museum Lubang Buaya atau yang juga dikenal sebagai Museum P...

Jarang-jarang nih gue posting soal hal yang agak bener, padahal isinya juga tetep sampahan, tapi kayaknya this one has to be documented at some point other than my Twitter dashing. So these days I've been slightly tuning into the telly again just because my dad loves telly so much that each time we hang out in the dining room or anywhere, he always turns the telly on. From what I slightly saw, of course other than the rubbish sinetron and other contents, I realised the raised of Youtube and Twitter and other social media contents from citizens becoming the contents of the telly. For instance, news programme who displays 'people's opinion' by showing their tweets (whether they mention the telly account or not). Well, kalo framing sudah jelas lah ya tidak terelakkan twitnya siapa ngomongin apa yang dicapture dan dibacakan oleh newsanchor, tapi yang menarik adalah: secara keseluruhan, ini program berita ngga punya konten coy! cuma punya headline yang disebutin di ...
