Criteria of The Best Husband on Earth!

Ps. Inspired by Lucy Wiryono's writings.

Hari ini tanggal 25 Februari 2013. Berarti... It’s about 1,5 months after I got married with my husband #yaiyalah #samasiapalagi.
1,5 months is a very very very short period to judge, but so far, everything goes smoothly, if not very very very smooth #lebaynyamulaimuncul
I just remember what happened to the “little tyas” while at elementary school, I was asked by my friends about “how your future husband will be?” Woooow, siap-siap narik nafas buat liat list-nya yaaa..
  • Yang ganteng
  • Yang putih
  • Yang rambutnya lurus
  • Yang pake kacamata
  • Yang tinggi
  • Yang mapan
  • Yang soleh
  • Yang pinter ngaji
  • Yang setia
  • Yang halus kayak orang jawa
  • Yang pinter masak
  • Yang sayang ibunya
  • Yang dewasa
Pengennya buanyak buanget, kalau di-list mah ga bakal kelar sampai besok bacanya. Yang namanya kriteria ideal, widiiih... Segede gabanlah.. (Btw, gaban itu apa sih? Terus emang segede apaaa..)
Tapi kalau sekarang ditanya apakah suamiku memenuhi kriteria itu 100%? Meeennnn, siapa sih yang bisa menemukan suami cucok 100% with their needs? Almost none! Even if they believe that the criteria is met, it's either they are on denial or, realized it or not, their criteria might be shifted.
Yang gue sadari adalah bahwa kriteria yang gw sebutin itu adalah kriteria pas saya masih timik timik sekecil anak ayam. Kalau sekarang saya ditanya, waduh, kriterianya udah jauh bedaaa.. Saya yakin, kamu pasti juga begitu. Bisa jadi lebih details, bisa jadi makin simpel, bisa jadi makin abstrak (for the latest ini mungkin yang sudah tidak bisa melihat light at the end of the tunnel because of the never ending searching of their jodoh ;p)
Kalau aku, makin lama kiterianya makin bersahaja: Yang punya komitmen. Dan jujur.
Buat apa orangnya super brilian kalau ga pernah ngajak nikah?
Buat apa dia udah mapan dan siap menikah tapi orangnya suka main serong?
At the end, with certain set of criteria yang muluk-muluk, itu jadi hambatan lo untuk membuka hati. For me, be relax-lah... Jangan sok kepedean; jangan sok ke-laku-an! Haha.. masak gara-gara mobil bukan honda jazz, atau gara-gara muka ga kayak lukman sardi, atau gara-gara masakannya ga seenak Bara Patirajawane terus dicoret, ya ga gitu juga ya bok!
Lagian mana tau kalau lo emang se-attractive itu? Kalau kata mbak Lucy Wiryono yang punya Holycow steak, she said:
“Sebetulnya yang paling penting dari soal kriteria ini juga diri kita sendiri sih. Apa kita udah jadi orang yang cukup baik sehingga merasa berhak menilai orang lain? Jangan2 kita ngarep dapet orang yang on paper nya bagus, tapi kita sendiri ternyata bukan catch material...”

“Gue sih percaya banget, energi yang sefrekuensi akan saling berdekatan. Jadi kalo lo pengen dapet pasangan dengan kriteria tertentu (yg masuk akal tentunya ya) ya kita dulu lah yang jadi orang itu. Simpelnya gini, kalo lo tukang ngeluh..ya biasanya gak akan akan jauh2 tuh..akan dapet yang tukang ngeluh juga. Kalo lo orang yang menyenangkan..ya InsyaAllah akan didekatkan juga dengan orang yang menyenangkan..”
You have to think beyond, you need someone yang ga cuma enak dilihat satu-dua tahun; tapi for the rest of your life this person will accompany you at your best, and most importantly, at your worst...
Hmm...
Back to the counting days,
After 1,5 months together...
For me,
My husband is the most perfect one.
I simply can’t ask for more.

My criteria are all in him #cieeeh #adayangGR #inidenialbukanya :p

Well,
Thanks Allah for giving me the chance to know, and be together with him.

Why Write?

Some people say that I am an open book ’cause I write about my personal life to the whole world.
Some might  even think I have no privacy.
The thing they sometimes forget, each and every person has their own unique way in coping with life.
And being an open book that they think I am, it’s only the surface they see, for there are so many hidden chapters I chose to keep it to myself.
I chose to write about happy stuff, some things that people can laugh at, or laugh together with.
‘Cause in this shitty, shitty world, if you don’t help yourself to be happy, you will lose your sanity.

This blog, is 5% sneak peek of my life.
My happy part.
My gratitude for every blessing that despite my problems, in some small, unimportant events or things, the Man above still gives me the privilege to laugh, smile, and feel fulfilled.

So if you ask, why write?
Because I’m helping myself.
Because I need to survive the shittiness.
Because I need to keep my sanity.

Some people have their own way in dealing with life and problems.
And I choose to write :)

There’s no REGRET: Myrza Photo, my favourite vendor!

The moment will last… forever in our heart.
I can’t describe my feeling while going through my wedding. The akad nikah, the panggih, the wedding reception, all of them. Every single second means a lot. It surely does. If I can, I will absorb them, put it on my Pensieve and rewind alllllll the memory, every day… It gives me hope. It gives me smiles, a lot.
I don’t have any Pensieve, and btw, the idea of having “those-white-lines-going-out-from-your-head” are simple scary –and remind me of having stretched upil, well… my wild thought..
Anyway, there’s no Pensieve. Yes. But the moments should be recorded. Documentation, photography, they are very important. They way I will tell my kids about how cute and pretty the moment were; will be through this channel. That’s why si Mas and I are very meticulous on choosing the vendor.
Our choice goes to Myrza Photography. We basically just put all of our hope to have memorable moments on this vendor. All of them. From pre wedding photos, pre wedding videos (it’s so cute! I will explained and broadcast it alter on shortly), akad nikah photos, akad nikah videos, wedding reception photos, wedding reception videos, and the clip; all of them are provided by Myrza.
And what we’re saying is.
There’s no REGRET.
Not. At. All.
I’m happy with their work. Period!
Why? Some of the reason stated below:
1. Quality of work
Pictures tells you everything J  here’s some of the examples of their work J I love the whole theme, cute and funny!!!
What do I like about Myrza is their concept.
They know what I want, and how to make it happened.


(removed karena sekarang saya pakai hijab ๐Ÿ˜‰) 


They do helped us in defining the theme, giving us the to-do-list, providing the makeup artist, helping us in “acting”, telling good stories, throwing stupid jokes during photo shoot sessions so we’re not being awkward dan maksa J ah… I love the team, so helpful!

2. Friendliness
Mas Rizkya s the marketing helps me a lot in channeling and translating my demand towards their capability. They worked so hard to find good place so our photos are not pasaran. They went so faaaar to find beautiful venue so we can have that “romantic feeling” on the videos.
Giving the tight timeline, secara kita baru foto prewed sekitar sebulan sebelum hari H yaaa.. they can meet the deadline on time and gives bunch of good pictures in hand. Hundreds, or Thousands, of pictures we should pick. And every single pictures tells different stories, all of them are cute, all of them makes me pretty, makes si Mas ganteng (emang udah ganteng sih J haha..)
We cant act. And mas Evan just makes me act easily. Some stupid pose, some crazy scenes, some uncommon style are all out. Mas Myrza was running under the rain. Mas-mas lighting (I forgot the name) were just laying back in the ground, manjat pohon, guling-guling di rumput demi menghasilkan Cahaya yang keren. Ah, they are very dedicated. It’s like their  own photos too. I’m touched J this is something that money can’t buy.
Bahkan after married, foto gw mau dianter ke rumah loh, dianter sampe literally teras rumah. What a service J
3. Price
After seeing the result, the package, and all… I though the price will choke our neck. But IT DOESN’T! ohhhh… We only spend very little for those package, dear dear dear.. If you need photographer, just go to Myrza photography and they’ll serve you like a king and queen J I have 2 edited video, 1 video liputan panjang, THOUSANDS of pictures (mentah dan edited), 3 albums with hundreds of photos on it, half dozens of photos on frame, 4 freaking big photo on frame (yang ditempatkan sepanjang lorong dan dekor), ah… that’s A LOT of bonus. I have standing frame being lend as well, terus all of the photo shoot sessions and the video shooting are provided by real professional make up artist J
Overall, this is my score!
  • Quality of work: 9,0
  • Friendliness/Services: 9,0
  • Price: 9.5
  • Overall: 9,1 --> HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Sooooo...
I just love it.
Si mas loves it too!
Ya kan mas? ;)

Reason Why My Solat becomes more Joyful :)

Guys,
 Do you have a reason why you can be high-spirited to do “Praying” a little bit more diligent than usual?
For me the reason behind is:
#5. New mukena (with pretty model) :p
#4. Newly washed mukena with fresh fragrance J
#3. Wide and air-conditioned mushola with soft and smooth sajadah
#2. Having your parachute mukena as tidy as silk because it’s being ironed by your husband J
#1. Being a makmum to an imam with calm, deep, and melodious tone voices; and the assurance that I can do “salim” to THE guy and be kissed on the forehead without being forbidden  by “YOU ARE NOT HIS MUHRIM” rule J
Ps. this is not exactly the reason why I do pray, it’s just very nice (and joyous) to have this thing around ;)
