A Week After

>> Mar 11, 2014



It’s just a short personal post for updating this blog. I feel much better after having a cold for almost a week. We had rainy weekend here and spent it in my BIL’s home.

 

My BIL, SIL and youngest nephew has just arrived from a religious journey to Mecca. My nephew seemed very excited with the whole experience and journey. It was so nice to hear every story said from a three years of age boy.  His parents still looked tired of long flight, but he’s still very active.

My SIL gave me two presents, a watch and bracelet. Yeeei, I love presents :)

My husband was given a piece of perfume. She purchased them during the flight transit in Dubai. Thanks a lot, my lovely sister!

At a Fish Market

>> Mar 9, 2014



Besides our cats, I have no other recent critter shots. Fortunately I still have photos that captured on New Year's eve -when we had dinner at a seaside restaurant.

The fish market is a part of the seafood restaurant in the Ancol Park (Jakarta, Indonesia).  I only took a few shots there. Most of offered seafood is still alive. I saw a variety of fish, shrimps, shellfish, squids, and crabs. Do you like seafood dishes?

The Best Love Advices You Can Get This International Women's Day -Wish you all the lovely ladies a very Happy International Women's Day! There is every reason for today’s young and independent women to celebrate! They are not anymore dependent on their partners and experience the freedom in every aspect of their lives, be it their professional lives or their relationships. Here are some of the important love and relationship advices that some inspirational women in our society share, which they gained through the years.


There are times when the relationships go through a phase, which is full of confusions, and the life looks tough, then whom do you turn to? Usually, people look to the women who know them the best, from their grandmas to their childhood friends. Sometimes, you just need to share your situation with them and surprisingly, they will offer you some invaluable solutions to keep get the relationship back on track. Look at their confidence, they know us so well that they never take any time to come up with the solution and their words always sound accurate for the situation! 

Women close to us have undoubtedly been our role models when it comes to relationships and they keep us reminding that women are not weaker gender and also the importance of giving respect to our partners. Just have a look at the following article and see what you have learned about love and relationship from that special woman in your life.

1. Never Forget Your Existence
When people have fights with their spouses or partners, it is usually a hard time to come up with a viable solution, which does not harm anyone. You can easily share this experience with your mom or your close friend, who will obviously give you the best advice over this super sensitive issue.  Although people usually suggest that these are personal preferences and not to share this with others, but the case is different if you have been fighting this issue with longs and want to share your feelings with someone you trust! Do not forget that you exist as an individual and yes, your life has a lot to do with how you feel and how well you tackle the issues prevailing!

2. Keep Some Power to Yourself As Well
The experienced grannies always suggest that “Never allow a man to hurt you or give him the power to make you cry”. This is a mantra for a successful life for you as a woman.  Be responsible for all your deeds and always try your best to maintain your self respect.

3. Be Happy & Make Everyone Happier
If you are happy, everyone related to you will be happy. My grandmother has always quoted this line, and the principle does wonders for the relationships!   

4. Be Important
The moms always suggest being the most important person in your partner’s life. Being indispensable is very important, and always tries to keep each aspect of your life in mind.

5. Seek Help from Those Who Are Close To You
At certain point of time, you need someone who understands your situation and acts as a mirror to show you the reality of the life without hurting you. Having clarity about the relationship is very important, and someone who doesn’t know you absolutely well can never bring this about. Expect this only from your childhood friend, your mother or your grandmother. You will be amazed to see how well they understand your feelings and your position, so it is high time you should dump a counselor, and find solace in the company of your most loved woman! Trust me, it works!

To Reduce Your Cold and Flu Symptoms Naturally

>> Mar 3, 2014



I’ve got common cold symptoms since the last two days. I experience a sore throat at first and later runny nose, stuffy nose, plus slight headache and cough.  I don’t feel fever and any muscle pain, so I guess it’s not flu.

 

We should know the difference between flu and cold symptoms. Compared with the flu, a cold is a milder respiratory sickness that can affect you for a few days. While flu has more severe symptoms that can make you feel bad for a few days to weeks. This flu may lead to more serious health problems like pneumonia. Experts said that several hundred different viruses may cause cold symptoms.

 

Common cold symptoms usually last for about a week. If I’m not getting better in a week, I should go to the doctor as I may need antibiotics.

 

Do you prefer to natural remedies? Anyway, there are no instant and miracle remedies for your cold or flu. Here are some recommended options from experts that will help you –and me- get better sooner (source: webmd.com).

1. Zinc gluconate lozenges (no longer than 5 days)

2.Nasal irrigation with sterile water like the neti pot (several times per week)

3.Pelargonium sidoides (supplement made from South African geranium)

4.Hot ginger and lemon tea.

 
My lemon tea. It can soothe my throat and refresh my body.

Other popular remedies : Echinacea, vitamin C, chicken soup, garlic, steam, saline drops, menthol ointment, salt water gargle, nasal strips. You are also suggested to drink a lot of water, take a bed rest and let your fever works. Fever is a sign of your working body immune system.
