fengshui. bedroom. romance. not having so much luck in love? or your relationship is falling apart? i made my time to browse around and check out what's the big no no. your bedroom reflects it. here's some of the advice from fengshui expert :
big no-no: - don't put any mirror in your bedroom. it'll bring bad luck. mirrors on the wall or ceilings are really a big no no. they symbolize infedility. you don't want to bring a third party onto your relationship. fenghsui master don't like voyeurism either :)) - southwest corner in your bedroom is very important spot for your romance fengshui. so, don't clutter it with so many stuff. not good for your relationship. you don't wanna mess it, aight? - make sure your bed does not face the door in your bedroom. otherwise, you and ur partner may never have a good health. - clutter and messiness is surely making your love life messed up. do get rid of unnecessary things and give it a good spring clean. - if possible, don't put any distractions in your bedroom (like TV, work related items, computer, exercise equipment, piles of laundry u need to do). this can be a love life killer. - throw out any ex relationship energy from your bedroom (those old photos of your ex, love letters, photos of ur ex and you, gifts from ur ex, or anything that reminds u of love gone bad). if you don't wanna throw it away, at least just move 'em to another room, don't put it in ur bedroom. - a toilet or a closet in bedroom is actully not recommended by fengshui master. coz the toilet can flush ur romance. and closet can trap your romance vibe. however, modern house now usually has its enclosed bathroom/closet in their bedroom now. just make sure that your bathroom is closed all the time and kept clean. other than that, do not worry if your head is facing the bathroom's wall. ur luck may not be affected at all. - do not sleep with your feet facing towards a door. this is known as "coffin position" and it speaks for itself.
please do : - put a vase in southwest corner of your bedroom. it will greatly enhance your chances of attracting a suitable partner. or if you're allergic to flowers, put a painting of peonies there (just make sure it's not a painting of prickly flower, like cactus). oh yea, when u put ur flower there, put the fresh one. the chinese hate dead or dried flowers, it'll decay your love life :) - putting a pair of wooden ducks/duck painting, will bring luck to your romance. or you cant put a lava lamp there, to send out a sensous vibe in your romance. well, putting anything in pairs in the bedroom shows that u're willing to work in a partnership. so, just put two nightstands or two candlesticks. but not three :P (three is a crowd :)) - if you want your passion to flow, place a beaded curtain at ur bedroom door as this encourages new energy and deflects infidelity. - perfect scent for romance is vanilla. when burned in southwest corner can attract a physical relationship. - position ur bed so that you can see the door from where you sleep. this gives you a deep sense of inner security. howevery, try to position ur bed as far away from the door as possible. - pastel colors are ideal.
believe it? well, it's your call, dude...some people would just do anything to make it right not matter what :))

btw, inget donk gue juga pernah posting jaman2 keemasan 80s di blog gue? hehehe...*ndak mo kalah*...kalo mo reminiscing my old 80s' posting, ini dieee....
DORRR....!!!!kaget ya?? gue juga kaget, kok tiba2 gatel pengen nulis di blog. padahal gue barusan bilang ama one of my blog friend the other days, duh kayaknya sekarang blog n me, gak banget deh hehehe...kesatu, gue rasanya mo ngeblog udah gak mood lagi. dan mood itu terjadi karena reason kedua, gue gak punya banyak waktu utk mikirin nulis apa gitu di blog. yang pasti isi blog adalah makin tidak bermakna, dan gak jelas maksudnya.....maksuddd looooo??? huahuahua *gila gue lagi demen bener nih ama phrase ini. ABG bener gak sih? bukannya cewe2 ABG sini lagi demen ya gaya ngomongnya kyk gini? hihihi....coba deh liat di sinetron2 or cewe2 ABG di sekitar elo...sampe sekarang---and gue juga masih bingung kenapa ini masih terus berlangsung---gaya ngomongnya masih tuetep seperti cewe2 yg ada di AADC.*tau dong apaan AADC? kalo gak tau..uh cupu banget sih lo* hehe...kok gue in the mood of cursing bgt yaks.
eniwey, let me warn you before i go further yaks. kayaknya tulisan gue selanjutnya akan semakin nyerocos tidak jelas dan gila. karena emang gue lagi pengen tumplekin apa aja yg lagi going on in my brain neh. plus ya itu. jari2 lagi gatel kali ya hehe...
tau gak? bulan2 kemaren ini gue lagi seneng2nya nonton film tv series. pertama2nya gara2 gue addicted ama "24". itu loh tv series yg bintang utamanya kiefer sutherland. saking addictednya, gue selama 5 hari berturut2 kaga tidur cukup. all the way from season 1 to 4, gue kebut sampe selesei. punggung gue udah sampe rentek, mata melek udah kyk kurang tidur. gosh....blame it on 24, this tv series really glued my eyes to the screen. segitunya banget...sampe2 tiga hari terakhir gue nonton, gue termimpi2 ama jack bauer. uhahahah....gue mimpi ada skenario sendiri, dealing with terrorists. ihahiahia....gillllaaa buenerrr. well...all i can say, 24 is the best tv series ever lah...besides sex n the cities n CSI. trus dari nonton 24 ini, lanjut deh yg jadi nonton lost, desperate housewives, 4400, the pretenders, alias, aduh banyak deh, sampe gue kagak inget semua...day by day. i was like potato couch. hehehe....udah nempel deh tuh ama tipi trus. unbelievable. glad that those moments were over about a month ago. but eits...tunggu dulu. itu karena lanjutan seasonnya skrg semua lagi ongoing semua, which is...gue gak mo nonton nungguin tiap minggu di tv!! gila, bisa gue gatel2 nungguin what's next what's next....hehehe...jadi mendingan gue tungguin aja deh sampe next year, spy nontonnya gak setop2. i wish they have Tivo here. hahaha....gak kebayang deh kalo ada Tivo disini, gue yg ada abandoning myself from outside world :P
how's my marriage life? so far okay. yang udah pasti sama aja kayak kita masa pacaran yg ampir 7 taon. ada ups and downs nya. yang pasti sih kita udah banyak plan2 baru utk di future. mudah2an resolutionsnya bisa dicapai by the end of the year. amien. *eh sbnrnya yg tercapai baru 10% doang kali hahaha...mudah2an by next year, plan2 primer bisa tercapai* doain dong yaks..
kerjaan? so far still good. taon ini ada anak2 baru yg join my camp. ada juga yg udah leave the camp hehe...but that's okay. kerja kan cocok2an. kalo gak cocok yah apa boleh buat. trus, banyak achieve account2 baru. so i'm so excited. have lots of new project coming up. mudah2an taon depan, account2 baru semakin byk bermunculan. and when that happens, i will need more crew nih. soalnya yg ada entar gue bisa gedebak gedebuk, trying to multitask melulu. it's time for me to delegate most of the stuff i've handled to somebody else. trus trus...inget gak dulu gue pernah rencana revamp my office look again? so far sih udah bertambah sana sini yg diupgrade. rencananya bkln mo gue upgrade lebih better lagi. mudah2an bisa terlaksa by kira2 awal taon depan deh.
social life? well...since kerjaan gue juga gak abis2ya, social life gue juga yg sempet stuck gitu. temen2 deket gue juga yg super sibuk gitu ama kerjaan. so jadi ketemuannya jadi lebih jarang. tapi kalo makan2 sih masih tuetepp dong. ohiya, one of my gf finally got pregnant. it's going 4 months now. i'm happy for them. soalnya mrk yg udah really trying banget dr kemaren2 tp blon dikasih2 gitu. mudah2an kehamilannya lancar trus sampe pas waktunya ngelahirin.
aduh aduh, membosankan kan omongan gue? mo ngomong apa coba? see...that's the thing. gue drpd ngobrol ngalur ngidul gak jelas gini, mendingan gak usah ngeblog bukan? hehe...so, buat yg nanya2 ama gue kemaren ini kenapa gak ngeblog lagi....i dont know the answer yet.
should i or shouldn't i blog again? apa gue tutup ajah ya selamanya blog ini? time to close the chapter, dont you think? :p give me a reason why i shouldn't :))

Avez-Vous Un Resolution?
- try to live a more healthier lifestyle. eat right and hopefully start doing sport (i'm a lazy cow when it comes to sports)
- do what all women should do to better herself in terms of appearance (better looking teeth, healthy hair, nourishing skin more, glowing face, etc.) but not fakey kind of apperance (such as makeup tebel, rambut setinggi2nya & diset muluw kyk ibu2 yg mo ke pesta muluw hihihi, sparkly/showy clothing, yah yg gitu2 deh). i just want to present better in a natural way and of course healthy way :)
- try to start a new opportunity in business besides improving the current business i have (this probably needs more thinking and effort. should be a long term goal to achieve)
- gain more money since expecting more 'family expense' to come
- travel to some places i've never been to
- be more patient and understanding person (it's kinda hard here...coz kyknya banyak deh yg bikin gue gak patient disini, and bikin hati gondok mulu ngadepin hal-hal yg bertele2 or so what gitu loh kinda thing hehe..)
- revamp my office look, and do a different kind of management
- last but not least, ehem....should i say...plan the lil one? hehe...:P
let's see if any of these will come true. after reading it over and over, kok jadi sounds very serious banget yah resolutions kali ini. hehe..

new year, new beginning first of all, happy new year to all of you people all over the world. how's everyone's new year? celebrating hard or staying low at home? hehe...it's been a while since i released my 'single' status two months ago. so many things going on afterwards. for the last two weeks i flew to the States, yes...states again! after 2.5 yrs going back to indonesia. so it was a fun ride, althou i felt very tired coz most of the time is nonstop sitting in the car or flight, and of course cruising at the stores hehehehe...
year 2006 has come. i feel that last year i've been blessed with so many things. i do feel that year 2005 is one of the best year for me, in terms of love, career, and opportunities. i don't quite recall what i've been doing in details last year (since i've not been blogging as frequently as before). but i tried to do my recap since it's been a good year for me.
january - celebrating new year at home. it's a "prihatin" month i guess. remember the tsunami? i dont think everyone feels like partying after that sad event.- regain our loyal past account. it's really a good news, coz afterwards, we keep getting many projects.
february - bestest birthday gift ever: got my diamond engagement ring from ste. yesss...after 6 yrs of relationship :)) hehe...
march - ozzie gets a new baby sister. a naughty but smartie mini pinscher.
april - it's my two years anniversary going back home (to indonesia). - ste's parents officially proposed my parents today. - busy looking for the auspicious day for wedding. first plan was to have it either on dec'05 or jan'06
may - our sixth relationship anniversary (i think we're in singapore, starting to prepare the wedding). the first plan was to have our wedding in singapore, that's why i did custom made on my wedding gown there.
june - hectic months. lots of projects. mom n dad flew to US for a month. quite crazy times. coz i have to handle all by myself. no socializing i think from this month till three months afterwards since i've been very very busy.
july - stressful months too, coz lots of things going on besides the works. the wedding plan keeps changing. from singapore to US to jakarta to Bali. i was totally confused at that time.
august - flying back n forth to singapore. but the wedding plan was changed. we thought of having it earlier now. - workload is getting lighter since most of the projects had been done in july. it's good thou coz i have to prepare and pay more attention to my wedding plan. - ms. cookie got pregant by neighbor's dog. how stupid is that. ergghh...should have neutered her earlier!!
september - good news about ste's parents. it's good news for us too. - we decide to change the wedding venue to bali now n to have it on november. gosh...that was only about 2 months before the day!
october - pretty crazy with all the wedding preps. i cried a lot too. it's so hard to please everybody but i bear them all. the wedding is all prepared solely by me. i want it done personally. from booking venue, gown, accesories, invitation design, making the souvenirs' box, buy souvenirs, arranging the wedding itinerary, choose the F&B, preparing the wedding program, design the evening gown, find clothes for everyone, wedding music, the videography, the photography, the band, the florists, the idea of decoration, the flower girls, bride's maid gowns, etc, etc, OMG....it's totally outrageous at that time. luckily, i have two good friends of mine helping me side by side. thanks to vidi n vanda who've been helping me a lot with all the preps. - ms cookie (my crazy tiny min-pin) had a labor. four puppies (three baby girls, and one baby boy). i named them : mocha, chino, chocolate, n peanut.
november - it's the wedding day (nov 12 @ ritz carlton, bali) ! i'm so happy that finally it's over hehe...the weather was perfect. the ceremony n the rest of the rundown went so well. everybody seems to enjoy it very much. it is indeed a very intimate and personal wedding. i don't really like bizarre wedding, so this is totally perfect. this is what we've ever wanted for our wedding. - moved to a new house. i'm officially a Mrs now. so i can start playing housewive now hahaha...well, as long as it's not desperate housewive :P
december - had another post-wedding party with friends only @ lara djonggrang. thanks to whoever coming to my party to celebrate it. it was fun. - get my US visa and directly flew to los angeles a week after that. - spent xmas in las vegas. flew back to my old town, lawrence, kansas. stayed at my best friend's house, tiwi. she just got her first baby boy. met danny n mary (they're expecting their first baby too). drove together with markus n lynn to denver, colorado. skiing, then flew back to LA, celebrating new year with family @white house resto in anaheim. - other than spending time with families n friends, i did my shopping spree of course hehehe..... - we gave up mocha to my aunt, chocolate to my uncle, and peanut to my mom's friend. only chino left now. we may keep her thou. now, there're three musketeers @my parents' home. ozzie, cookie, n chino. the black musketeers huauhahha...:))
well, i guess that'd be all. i need to work on this year's resolution thou. i do have some. a lot actually hehe...and most of them are really serious one. hopefully, it'll come true. so...HAPPY NEW YEAR again everyone!!!
