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-

Happy New Year 2013

Happy New Year 2013!

We never know our future but in God's hands everything will be okay!

He is good and his loves endures forever :)

Have a blessing year!

Merry Christmas!

I do not know where to start!

Couple weeks before Christmas, I felt very angry and sad in same time!

I was bullied by several people on non profit project.

Due to concerned of that birthday project, I kept asking about time run down for the event, an exact time run down minutes per minutes.

All because, we need to arrange the time management so all the performer can perform on schedule without any delay and hoping that  they still want to help us for next event!

But then, I was bullied for weeks!

They tell me to have some test about multiple intelligence, I wanna Roll On The Floor Laughing!

Do you think you are smart enough? Fact that you are being pregnant before marriage makes you smarter than I am? If you are smart enough, you will be fucking with that person and not getting pregnant before marriage :p

Oh, well... I have throwed myself because I choose it and I should not complained about it :D

If I was mad or sad, I choose to walk away from what cause me mad.

I have been thinking hard to leave it all but again, I have choose and promises will be kept!

After the event, I still struggling with this heart's wound.

I still angry and comes in mind to revenge! But, thanks to God.... He still loves me that much and I do not dirty my hands with that!

Near Christmas, I kept thinking about my life .....

Christmas is about love, about forgiveness, about grace!

Then, this Christmas will be a moment that I receiving Jesus' love and grace again...

Here I am asking for forgiveness if I have done wrong to you, my friends and relatives....

And, let me be the light that shines :)

Thank you Jesus!

Merry Christmas and have a wonderful season :)

#MG2012

#MG2012 is Marriage Gateway that was held at Conrad Hotel, Bali with speakers @PhilipWagnerLA @HollyWagnerLA

Here some tweets from Ps. Alvi Radjagukguk

Real love has very little to do with what we feel. Love is a verb! • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Love is caring about the interest of your spouse, even we are not interested in it • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

We can win the arguments yet hurt the relationship. Win the Marriage, not the argument! • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

The couples that support a growth of each individual bring strength to the marriage • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

1/2 + 1/2 is not 1. 1 + 1 = a strong 1. Wholesomeness matters! •@HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Sometimes marriage can be boring and becomes a routine. Grown ups decide to stick with it! • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Once we get through seasons, we become stronger, a more wholesome we become, a stronger a marriage gets •@HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Our spouse is an imperfect person who will do -mostly unintentional- things that will hurt us

Forgiveness is as important as our digestive system, for it's the only way to remove our wastes • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Forgiveness is the highest expression of love, exemplified by GOD Himself to mankind • @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

Marriage is a union of two forgiven and forgivers. Let's be eternally forgiving!

We need to work out our marriage so tension can transform to trust, frustration to intimacy, boredom to passion • @PhilipWagnerLA#MG2012

Marriage is God's way of killing our ego • @PhilipWagnerLA#MG2012

Develop a marriage-centered marriage, not a children-centered marriage • @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

A flourishing marriage is a great gift to our children, big family and city •@PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

If we do what others are not willing to do, we will have what other marriages do not have • @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

Wives, husbands do not speak hints. Make it easier for us to meet your needs • @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

In great marriages, great words exist. In bad marriages, bad or no words are being uttered • @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing • Proverbs 12:18

Learn to listen to understand, not to reply. It is honoring our spouse •@PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

Men can actually think of nothing, women do not think that is possible •@PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012 // And the men sayyyyy..

Unwholesome persons use unwholesome words. Wholesome ones say wholesome words. #MG2012

Men, figure out how to romance our wife periodically •@PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012 // Do not let other men do that instead!

Marriage was created to have GOD involved. Three-cord rope "Adam+Eve+God" since a beginning! • @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

We cannot ever love our spouse unconditionally without GOD's involvement • @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

Be lavish with encouragements and be stingy with critics to your spouse. Encouragements are powerful! @PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

Encourage our spouse's Strengths and Attempts for improvements! •@PhilipWagnerLA #MG2012

A couple's ability to deal with their differences is a sign of their maturity •@HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

A couple's differences aren't there to separate, instead to strengthen us. Deal with them forever! • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Making children the center of our family universe is not the best interest of marriage • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

If children are at the center of our family, they will eventually grow up to be selfish kids • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

We are to honor our parents' position in life, but they cannot have bigger influence or power than our spouse • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

When dads treat their girls with respect, they will only choose a life partner who do the same • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

When our work life hurts our marriage, we may need to change job •@HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

If we want our marriage to flourish, we need to stay planted and rooted in GOD's house (local church) • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Wisely choose friends who always encourage us to grow and mature our marriage • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012

Couples who pray together stay together • @HollyWagnerLA#MG2012

To get a divorce as we run out of love is like selling a car when it runs out of gas. Keep refueling our love! • @HollyWagnerLA #MG2012
