A Happy Family

My Brother’s Family

>> Jan 16, 2012

When my father passed away on Friday, Jan 6^th, my brother and the whole family who live in Pontianak (West Kalimantan, Indonesia) arrived in the night -in the same day. They spent six days here. Before they came back home, they visited some interesting places.

I share here some pictures when we’re at Kampung Cina (Chinese Village), a shopping place with Chinese culture theme at Cibubur (West Java, Indonesia). It’s a pity that the rain fell very hard at that time. We’re too late as well, as many stores are already closed. My brother has two daughters and one son. I forgot to take picture of the youngest, Ais. Forgive Tante Lina, Ais!

Now, there are only two of us, my husband and I, at home. Though I feel that my father is still at home, I miss him so much. Too many daily routine that we must end suddenly.

Insects around Us

>> Jan 15, 2012

There are too many insects around. If I sit a while in our front yard, I can see various insects live there. Glad that they are in small sizes :)

I’m just fine but I still have no time to reply your visits. We’ve just held a praying together in the 7^th day of my father’s passing away. All brothers and SILs have come back and there are only two of us (my husband and I) at home now. When our loved ones has left us for good, then we realize more how much we love them and we miss them deeply.

The Best Source of Formal Gowns

>> Jan 14, 2012

There’s no doubt that fashion is one of women’s most interests. My friend’s teenager daughter is a big fan of Gossip Girl and she loves to watch the dresses worn by the characters in every episode. Since her 18^th birthday will be celebrated in a few months ahead, she already told her mother that she wanted to wear a stunning dress similar with one evening dress that she saw in one episode of Gossip Girl.

My friend craved to look for romantic dresses for her daughter’s special occasion. She contacted me and asked my opinion on how to get beautiful gowns in affordable prices.

I’m glad that I can help. I invited my friend to navigate all collections at Rissy Roo’s. As a leading formal gowns seller, their collections provide lots of stunning dresses from top designers. Once you visit the official website, you’ll be amazed to know that you can buy lovely dresses at best prices there!

My friend was really excited. She said that rissyroos.com is the right place to search for her daughter’s dream evening dress. She’ll inform her daughter right away and then they will do the search together. I’m so sure that they will find the perfect gown as Rissy Roo’s has become the right source of women’s fashion for over 35 years.

Tips to Save Money during Holidays

>> Jan 13, 2012

Did you shop too much during your post-Thanksgiving shopping spree? You are not too late to create a budget for New Year holidays. Do not let money be your sole reason of stress these holidays. Proper planning and allotting a budget keeps you from overspending. People that you care enough to buy presents for, should care enough back to not want you to undergo any financial stress via credit card, when the festive season is over.

People will soon start crowding malls and stores all around the world, as the Christmas season is approaching. But if you have not been saving throughout the year for holiday gifts you’ll end up using credit to make the purchases. You may end up burdened under a huge debt in the first month of the new year. Here are a few ideas to save money during holidays:

Buy useful gifts:

You must not become a total Scrooge, in this festive season, or else your family members will start hating you for this. Do not behave like a miser when it comes to giving New Year gifts. But try to think while buying gifts for your family, like "What would make them smile?" Make a budget for buying holiday decorations and short trips to your family and friends. Paying attention to the wants and needs of your loved important is more important than a pricey gift that is not of much use for them.

Do not buy on impulse:

For fools, the easier way to save a dollar is- do not spend it. But for wise, it is shopping wisely. Shop wisely is not an oxymoron. Women usually buy on impulse which leads to over-spending. As an ideal consumer (and also if we go by economics), must look for the right deals on the products they want. Look for discounts in the local newspaper or on the hoardings on street walls. Browsing online for best deals is the perfect way to indulge in a budget shopping this festival season.

Look for online discounts:

Book early if you are planning holiday trips overseas. Air transport charges heavily before Thanksgiving and Christmas, as these are the biggest travel days of the year. You’re going to find some of the biggest sales of the season, on the world wide web. What can you expect more; these online shopping carts ship gifts at your door step. You need not move out of your home in the cold weather for Christmas shopping.

If you have decided to travel overseas during holiday season, you better book furnished apartments, as it would keep you from over-spending.

The Best Care Home in Essex

>> Jan 10, 2012

I’ve an old friend who lives in Essex, UK. We chatted yesterday and talked about various things. She contacted me once she knew about my father’s passing away last Friday to convey her condolences. When I asked about his mother’s latest condition, she said that actually she’s in confused. Her mother has got affected severe dementia symptoms. She wants to take care of her mother by herself at her home but she has no time left. She’s a working mom and single mother; I can comprehend all her difficulties.

After our conversation ended, I tried to find out more about Essex. Fortunately, I found a local news website called This is Essex. It’s the right and reliable source for you to get the latest information, reviews and news about Essex. Various local matters are discussed there. I also read one article at this local news website that conveying about hallmark care homes that have opened a new Hallmark care home, Anisha Grange care home, in Billericay, Essex in September last year.

The article attracted my attention to search more information about Hallmark care homes. I’m interested after I knew that the care homes are focusing on building a community and establishing a sympathetic relationship with all residents in person.

Every Hallmark care home like Anisha Grange provides the best service and facilities. Anisha Grange has also different dementia care and especially designed dementia garden. Moreover, this care home has been awarded lately as ‘The UK’s Most Outstanding New Care Home’ at the UK over 50s Housing Awards. I’ll recommend this home care to my friend.

I think Anisha Grange can be a perfect home for my friend’s mother. She’ll receive the best medical care and live in a friendly and warm environment. I hope my friend will visit the home care soon and then make the right decision for her mother.
