Thirty-Four, Apparently

Helow again!

Yesterday was my birthday, and I'm kinda happy because I'm officially getting older. 34 years old. Oh, should I say getting more mature instead? Hehe..

Thank God, I made it this far. Not because I'm strong, not because I'm great, but because Jesus has given me the strength to go through life and make it to 34. And I hope He'll keep carrying me through all the years ahead.

I'm actually curious about what the future will look like. I'm curious about what my son will be like when he grows up. And I'm also curious about who will be the next president of Indonesia in 2029 hehe.

I don't really have any special birthday wishes this year. My wishes are pretty much the same as they were in previous years.

Today, I'm still on leave. I decided to take some time for myself. Just being alone for a while.

This morning, I went to the Puskesmas for CKG (Cek Kesehatan Gratis). I honestly expected something more like a full medical check-up at a hospital hehe. Turns out they only checked my blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure. But hey, that's still pretty worth it. At least now I know my numbers, and thank God, everything came back normal.

After that, I went on a little food adventure in Pamulang, following a recommendation from the TikTok locals. The place is called Mie Aceh 46. It was pretty good! I ordered two things: Mie Aceh and Roti Cane. I couldn't finish the cane though, so I had the rest packed up to take home.

And now I'm sitting at a coffee shop somewhere in Pamulang, just scrolling, playing games, watching YouTube, basically making the most of my screen time, because I probably wouldn't get this much uninterrupted screen time if I were at home hehe.

My plan after this is to hit the gym, then stop by a salon to get a haircut and treatment. After that, I'll nyeblak and do some grocery shopping before heading home.

Sometimes, I really enjoy spending time alone like this. It's something that doesn't happen very often anymore since I have a husband and a child. I absolutely love having them in my life. But I also enjoy having some time just for myself. So I guess my solution is to take a day off on a weekday, without feeling guilty about leaving my husband and son at home.

Sometimes on weekends, I also ask my husband if I can have some me-time, whether it's hanging out or meeting up with friends. But I don't do it that often. Even though my husband is supportive, I still want my son to spend his weekends with his mom too.

Well, I guess that's enough of an update for today. I'll tell you more stories another time.

Luv luv ♡

A little life update

Hello again! Long time no see, no talk, and no blogging. 
It’s been a really, really long time since I last wrote anything on this blog. I suddenly remembered that I actually have a blog. Haha. Sorry for abandoning you for so long.

A lot has happened over the years.
With technology getting fancier and social media taking over our lives, I eventually found other places to be dramatic and alay on the internet. So, naturally, I forgot about this blog. But... I think I want to come back here. Somehow, this still feels like the safest place. I can be as alay as I want and nobody probably cares. Or maybe nobody even remembers that this blog ever existed. Which is honestly even better. 

So, here we are. Here’s a little life update.

I started this blog when I was in high school. I was pretty active here during college, and there were still a few random posts hanging around when I first started working.

And now, here we are in 2026, and life has changed quite a bit.

I’m almost 34 now.
I’m married. My husband is a good man, although he can be annoying sometimes.
I have one child, a little boy who is ridiculously cute and adorable. (sayang Bebirom banyak banyak).
I also have two cats, Mengdud and Boyen. Those are their nicknames, by the way. I adopted them back in 2022, and somehow they are still here, running the household like they own the place.

I don’t live in Tangerang anymore. I’ve moved around Jaktim, then moved to Jaksel, and eventually ended up settling somewhere around perbatasan South Tangerang - Bogor hehe.

These days, I work in Lebak Bulus, Jaksel. It takes about an hour from home if I ride my motorcycle. By car, it can take 2–3 hours. Oh, and there was one time when it took FOUR HOURS just to get office from home because I was completely stuck in the Cirendeu traffic. And yes, that was one way. Multiply that by two and you can imagine how much of my life I spend on the road. Such a horror yah kehidupan dewasa ini.

For the past month or so, I’ve also been really into going to the gym. Well, “into” might be a strong word. I’m actually kind of forced to. After having a baby, becoming a mom, and getting older (whether I like it or not), I started feeling like my body needs a little more attention.

There are also so many things I used to love doing that I barely do anymore. 
Going to concerts.
Taking trips out of town.
Kulineran.
Randomly going places just because I feel like it.
I don’t really do those things much anymore. But that’s okay. I’m slowly learning that everything has its own season.

There was a time when I could stay up late, go anywhere, do anything, and somehow still function the next morning. But life is different now, and I guess I’m different too.

Well, I think that’s enough of a life update for now. There are probably a lot more things I could talk about, but maybe I’ll save them for another post. 

I think I want to start journaling here again.
Maybe not regularly. Maybe sometimes.
But whenever I feel like writing something down, I’ll come back here.

So, see you around, little blog.

Luv luv ♡
