Key to Learning

Whoa!

*tiup-tiup blog yang berdebu*

Udah lama banget ga update blog!

Maklumlah jadi kacung kampret kan ga bisa seenaknya buka blog di jam kerja :p

9 Februari gw diundang untuk mewakili The Urban Mama untuk menghadiri seminar "Key to Learning" yang dibawakan oleh Galina Dolya.

Galina mengadopsi metode Vigotsky yang memperhatikan 12 aspek dalam proses belajar anak seperti:

1. Sensory Mathematics
2. Visual Spatial
3. Logic
4. Creative Modelling
5. Mathematics
6. Construction
7. Story Grammar
8. Exploration
9. Developmental Games
10. Exprssive Movement
11. Artographics
12. You-Me-World

Beberapa hal yang gw dapatkan dari seminar ini:

BERMAIN merupakan aktivitas BELAJAR, jadi bebaskan anak untuk bermain bukan belajar di sekolah sejak usia dini.

KUALITAS lebih penting daripada KUANTITAS!

Penting untuk gunakan hal sederhana di sekitar kita untuk membantu anak memahami maksud orangtua.

Gw selalu suka diundang ke seminar-seminar kayak begini karena menjadi orangtua artinya belajar :)

Dan gw mau terus belajar supaya gw bisa menjadi tempat untuk Darren bertanya segala hal :)

a learning mama,

Happy Blessday, Papih :)

My dad, turning 65 years old today :)

Yes, we share same birthday :D

I think this is the way of universe to save my mom's money on celebrate our birthday :)))))

I dedicate this post for my dad, a person that I called papih :)

I remember him as a honest and sincere person I have ever met in my whole life :)

Dad, I proud of you :)

You refused all the facilities from your job when you are young just to stick with your family.

For some people now, what you do is stupidipity but for you, you just want to be closed to mom, Pran and I :)

Family should stick together no matter what, no matter how..... that's what you've been teaching us :)

I pray for you on your birthday, may God always grant you happiness, healthyness and wealthyness!

Happy Blessday, Papih :)

What a nice problem!

Today, I turn 31 years old!

Thank God that he gave me another year to life, love and laugh :)

Two days before my birthday, I feel uneasy..... specially at work.

It just to complicated to tell and I suppossed to stand still, shut my mouth and respect the one who employed me.

It is hard, I can tell!

But again, my heart tell me to see the other side of this problem I'm facing.

And I can say now, "What a NICE problem!" instead of grumpy :D

God teach me through every people that I met.

Couple days ago, my besties Ligwina Hananto is tweeting this:

Setiap ketemu Business Problem yg gw blm tau mau beresinnya gmn... Selalu ingat pesan @ReneCC "what a nice problem!" :) #bisniskecilku

Universe is full of surprises!

and I willing to learn every single little thing that matters to me everyday!

Recently, I have been juggling with home, work, and social community without housemaid :D

We have survived more than 6 months without housemaid, and all of us are overwhelmed....

I catch up running again after on and off back in 2012 :D

I hope that I can gain more benefit through running, will update you more in other post!

Well, only God knows my struggles and I believe that he is my provider!

He will make ways to all problems that I had!

He is forever faithful and I am forever grateful :)

Thank you Jesus for everything, for every NICE problem in my life!

Let's face it together ;)

the birthday girl,
@HoneyJT

He had risen!

It is always a great moment to reflect on life during Good Friday and Easter...

First quarter in 2013, life has given me too much surprises!

But hey, once again I kept grateful (and always will) that with God... I can handle it :)

This year, we celebrate Good Friday totally different :)

Early in the morning, Darren and I accompany my husband to delivered fertilizer, our business.

Yeah, self employed... you just can't rest :p

After that, we picked up my parent to go to swimming pool near their house.

We had a great swimming session, even Darren doesn't want to go home '-_-

The journey continue... we had Good Friday Service at church and Darren fell asleep.

On Sunday, God kept remind me to forgive some people that I have ignored for a while.

Well, slow but sure I try to forgive them.

Jesus had died for my sin and he forgive my violation....

Why should I hold forgiveness? Even God himself give forgiveness to us, sinful person...

Thank you Jesus for remind me that I must reflect your love!

I am forever grateful,
@HoneyJT

New Year Trip day 2

Do you still remember my first day on New Year's trip?

Kindly check it here

Today, we prepared to go back to Jakarta but we decided to visit Candi Borobudur first :)

And again, it is a gloomy afternoon when we arrived at Candi Borobudur.

Something interesting is mom and I rent bicycle when we at Candi Prambanan.

We had so much fun unfortunately we didn't take any picture while we rod the bike ;)

Finally the rain is start to pouring and we cannot enjoy Candi Borobudur longer :(

After that we decided to went home to Jakarta.

Thank you God for allowing me to bring my parents to Jogjakarta.

I am forever grateful!

Cheers,
@HoneyJT

New Year Trip day 1

Hallo pembaca setia,

seharusnya saya membuat blog perjalanan melalui darat dengan menggunakan mobil menuju liburan awal tahun kami sekeluarga pada bulan Januari lalu namun baru sempat saat ini :D

Tujuan liburan kami awal tahun ini adalah kota gudeg yang istimewa, Yogyakarta.

Saya sudah beberapa kali datang ke kota ini namun tidak pernah bosan! Selalu ada yang istimewa :)

Istimewa-nya karena kali ini:

• dilakukan melalui jalan darat dengan menggunakan kendaraan pribadi
• membawa serta anak dan orangtua saya
• dalam rangka Jambore Nasional Maxxio (GranMax dan Luxio) Club 

Awalnya perjalanan akan dimulai pada Kamis malam secara beriringan namun karena lain hal maka kami memutuskan menyusul pada Jumat pagi.

It was a long way to go from Jakarta to Jogjakarta!

Finally we arrived at midnite in Gowongan Inn, a good place to stay :)

Sabtu pagi, kami memutuskan untuk ke Taman Pintar Yogyakarta agar Darren juga bisa bermain di sana ketimbang ikut dengan rombongan Maxxio menuju pantai :D

Saat Darren bermain di Taman Pintar Yogyakarta, saya dan mamih (panggilan kepada ibu) menuju pasar Beringharjo untuk berburu batik :)

Pilihan kami jatuh pada toko Bu Yati di Los 3.

Selesai dari Taman Pintar, kami memutuskan makan siang dengan menu gudeg sebelum menuju Candi Prambanan :)

Beberapa kali liburan di Yogyakarta, saya belum berkesempatan mengunjungi Candi Prambanan.

Baru kali ini kami, tepatnya saya berhasil ke Candi Prambanan and the view was awesome!

Awalnya hujan turun di kawasan candi namun karena keteguhan hati seorang Darren maka saya beserta mamih menemaninya :)

And his little faith had stop the rain!

We enjoyed the rest of evening  at Candi Prambanan, here are some pictures 

Well, that's our first day in Yogyakarta....

More to come on next post ;)

Cheers,

@HoneyJT

1.3.13 Can I survived March?

Hi there!

Been a while for me not to write any post since New Year 2013 :)

Well, life is quite busy these days :)

I wanna give thank to Thy for allowing me to enter March 2013.

1.3.13 is an unique number :)

So many things happened in Februari 2013!

I think the one that hit me very hard that my mom suddenly suffer painfully, she had this spinal stenosis :(

She can't stand up, she can't sleep well because it hurts badly!

I don't know what to do... I brought mom for MRI and her first physioteraphy.

I only pray to God that she will be able to stand up and walk again.

I don't ask much, please make her to be able to walk again!

Operation is the last choice that we will went through if this physiotherapy didn't give any solution.

God, please help her to go through this situation!

She probably frustrated because she can't doing things that she loves....

I beg Your mercy God, please grant her healthyness...

All I want is healthyness among my family...

I don't ask for gold, money or fame...

Hear my prayer o Lord.... help me, help her... help us....

Your daughter,
-Honey-
