Getting Married and Staying Happy in a Long Term Relationship

As you see, my husband had an amazing opportunity to pursue a Master Degree and he get to do his thesis for free which is pretty unbelievable. I also had a career in journalism for 3 years. We are currently living 170 miles away from each other as a best friend.


Like most people, I regularly asked some of my friend to share their advice from their own marriage on how they feel after entering into marriage and what happens the day after. Surprising me ! Some of their experience was scared me. They say don't expecting the marriage to solve of your problem but the marriage actually creating a new problem for your life. It's sound so complicated and annoyed me, huh !


Under these circumstance, we decided to get married between the two years of his master program. Some people supporting us and some people doubt our ability to survive. But we were not to concerned with that. Because my dad and my close friends completely supportive of my decision. And I truly believe that God doesn't charge someone more than its capacity. With pressure from those around, both of us continued to struggle with Bismillah...

You know, me and my husband very different in a lot of ways. More than that, we had whole different cultural background, different character, different habit, and different perspective for life. When we started make a new life and living together, the change takes place at so many levels. From a change in behavior, change in speech, change of thinking, a change in lifestyle, until our body shape changes, lol. Even sometimes we had different opinions and still maintain our arguments, but it's okey :)

After marriage, my husband and my family were becoming on my first priority. I want to dedicate full of my time for them. He always support me for taking the risk when I left my job. This is probably the most difficult. But he gave me understanding that instead of wasting my time obsessing over something beyond my control, more better if I would prefer to take care of my family and educating our children in the future. Manage all they necessity most of the time and whatever their primary needs are always comes first before mine.

Now we are happy live in the same home and sleep in the same bed, hihiiii. Love each other by Allah's sake. Grateful by each other. Everyday, we constantly keep waking up before Fajr Adhan and going to the mosque together. After we have prayed, he always make time to recite The Qur'an while I takes time to home duties. But if I don't read my Qur'an after Fajr, I read it after Dhuha. Yeah... we always spending a quality time together to be communicated for what we had done on a daily.


After my dad, my husband will be the first one to believe me that I could have done better. He always told me to be the bigger person no matter how they will treat me poorly, when they are trying to bring me down. By tell me to never revenge, he has shaped me into the woman that I'm today. He merely pointed the way without talk too much. All I can say that we've been very happily married for almost 2 years and forever Insya Allah. I'm so grateful how God returned him to me.


Now he has completed his master program and I find a "new" job in home. Enjoy blogging as great place where I could see how I am, write something big that I truly believe. God will not let go waste the reward of our effort.


So... Finding the right person who help you to get closer to God and always remind you to God. Be together for the right reason. Surround yourself with good people and focus on something good in life. Yeay !

Ambivert Personality, So What ??!!

From I started my blog in 2012 until now, maybe you know that I've been shared so much about who I am. About my my daily life, my culinary adventure, my passion and lifestyle. That's why I called my site The Lifeline. 

But as much as I like to publish more story of my life on public, you may be surprised to know that in real life I'm an ambivert. I never call myself an extrovert or introvert. I truly feel somewhere in the middle between them, yes I'm identifies as an ambivert.

• I usually prefer alone in my free time, but I'm also sociable for some reasons, lol.
• At some moment I like more talking but I'm also comfortable more listening
• I need some friend around me, but sometimes I'm happy being alone and I'm not feeling lonely.
• I'm interest meet with new people, but I'm selective for making new friendship and it's okey if I don't have many friends.
• People often see me as completely and extroverted because they see it gets the most in me, but from the other side of me I love stay at my room alone for reading and writing all day long. 

I'm the kind of person who love hanging out one on one, or only twos, or threes with my close friend better than in groups. It makes me more intimate with her/him/them. I get a chance to care and listening each other than a group can contribute. Like this, just a little bit friend, they are really know me well, we have a best time when we go out, and I have tons of happines with them :)

We always meet and eat together :)

Review : The Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash

Basically I have dry skin combined with oh oily skin at t-zone areas on my face, covered in oil especially around my nose. It's complicated, that means I must caring different part of my face differently. Less oily on the oily area and smoothed the dry area on my face.


I use Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash every morning, shortly after 'wudhu', and every night before I go to sleep. It is the suitable facial care product for my skin type and works too well. For oil control, it has cleared up my skin from those nasty oil on my nose and keep the oil under control. It helps lock in moisture to make my dry area on my face extra soft and smooth.

Review : The Body Shop Moringa Shower Gel

Hello Everyone...


Today I would love to share with all of you about a bath & body product Moringa Shower Gel from The Body Shop.

I've been using Moringa Shower Gel approximately 2 years and I've got to say I love it. Moringa has a tropical white floral appeal. It also has an orange blossom and jasmine fragrance. The shower gel comes in a transparent mid size bottle and travel friendly, and it's looks golden yellow like a lemon. The first thing attracted me to this product was the smell. I absolutely adore with the smell. The moment when I smelled it at the store, my impression was of smell refresh and I feel it will be a pleasant shower experience.

Tempo Gelato Jogjakarta

Last Saturday after paying taxes, we made our way to the gelataria, it's name Tempo Gelato. Popular with locals and tourist, Tempo Gelato has been perfecting their gelato since opening their shop in Jogjakarta. This gelataria serves the freshest and high quality gelato with so many appealing flavors. It was very different in taste and texture from the normal ice cream, because gelato uses more milk than cream and has a smooth texture.

I'm pleased to announce that I recently had a cone of gelato in Tempo Gelato. Two flavors of Gelato came in impressive round shaped on cone. The marriage between dragon fruit and avocado is particularly fabulous. But I was a fan of their caramel gelato. Oooh well... no need to worry about water, if you're thirsty they provide mineral water for free !
