The Girlfriend’s Guide to Baby Gear by Vicki Iovine w/ Peg Rosen

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

I give four stars for this book. It’s like the Holy Book for every mom-to-be. Funny, with many helpful advices (Top 10 Reasons Why We Spend Too Much on Baby Stuff: Nothing looks good on us at this point, so who else is there to shop for? And anything, even a nail clipper, is absolutely irresistible adorable in miniature). She was soooooo damn right! I mean, look at those tiny shirts with cute designs at Mothercare! A tiny pair of Osh Kosh B’ Gosh overall no longer than your forearm! A pair of three inches long Air Jordans! How unbearably cute!

Don’t forget The Master Shopping List section which proved out to be very helpful, and the Top 10 Signs of a First Time Mom will make you blushed and laughed at the same time. The only thing that I regret when I read this book is why I didn’t buy it earlier when I was pregnant, hiks.. but it still fun to read, though :) Now I’m indulging myself with Girlfriend’s Guide to Toddler and Girlfriend’s Guide to getting Your Groove Back :-p

Celebrating the broadband

Long time no write, huh? It’s been nearly three months since I left Rolling Stone (the magz, not the band, silly) and I’m enjoying my life even more… I’m a free worker! I have the privilege to arrange my time! I’m the boss! Huh.. wait.. Pasha IS my boss… LoL. Manusia kecil itu-lah yang jadi bos gue saat ini *grin*. Selain rektor di lspr tentunya. Sama bbrp bos waktu ngerjain majalah pita pink kemaren. Wah, itu baru asyik! Baru kali itu bisa ngerjain majalah dengan content terserah gue.. and the result is quite good.. thanks a lot to my team… terutama oomfai, okeh banget deh.

Sekarang ini betul-betul menyenangkan. Gak usah diburu2 waktu, gak perlu cemas dan feeling guilty karena gak bisa bareng Pasha, dan GAK USAH MASUK SABTU!!!!!!!!! weeekss… yang satu itu betul2 keterlaluan. Kayak gak ada kerjaan laen aja! Terus pas pembokat balik lebaran, tetep bisa ngurus rumah sekalian ngurusin badan kerja bakti tanpa diganggu dan ribet oleh urusan kantor. Yippeeee!!! Life is sooo much fun!!!! Dan tetep digaji karena masih punya kerjaan! Senangnya…

Dan masih bisa nulis, malah punya kesempatan buat ngeluarin ide-ide sendiri sesukanya *very b. grin* Terus sekarang dah pasang koneksi broadband jadi bisa online 24 hours non-stop. Which means I can write on this blog without fearing our phone bill will explode! Ayayayay! *quoting BJ* Berhubung Pasha lagi doyan berat sama Barney (tetep masih gemar Dora, Blues Clues dan Maisy juga) dan tiap hari minta diputerin, sekarang yang nempel di otak adalah lagu2 Barney plus seruan khas Barney and the gang- BJ, Baby Bop plus the kids. Gawaaat… itu satu2nya kerugian cabut dari RS, perbendaharaan lagu jadi miskin. Abis bagimana, tiap hari yang diputer lagu-lagunya Barney melulu…

Hickory, dickory, dock.. one mouse ran up the clock, the clock struck one! the mouse ran down! And hickory, dickory, dock!

(Bodohnya, kalo nonton yang versi teks indonesianya, diterjemahin jadi Hickory, dickory, BEBEK. STUPID! Perhatian! For all those toddler’s parents out there!Saran gw: belilah yang versi Inggris aja, jangan yang sulih suara. Maap, bukannya mau sok bule, bukannya mau sok Inggris, bukannya gak menjunjung sumpah pemuda, tapi daripada dibego2in sama yang nerjemahin.)
