don't judge, please

sometimes, i let my brain put itself into silent mode
no matter how hard the problem or how things are hard to handle
keeping my brain in silence is my own version to solve the problem
it'll give my brain space to think quickly to deal with the problem
i'm not the kind of a rapid recovery person, i think a lot
i mean, in some cases my head felt like want to explode
that's why i give my brain a break sometimes
i know, you might imagine that i take my brain out of my head
and put it on the table while i sat in a place without it. haha NO!
i'm a kind of forgive-but-hard-to-forget person
no hard feelings or anything like that,
my brain just needs some extra-and-long-time to forget the memories perfectly
especially bad memories (no good for health, really)
every problem looks like a puzzle in my head,
which i have put my thoughts together correctly to find the right solution,
yes just like one, by one, by one (and repeat)
but at the end of every problem, i thank God that my heart usually (always) wins
that's why (as i said) it's okay to left my brain on my desk or somewhere and take a walk
because i know, the feeling never lie while logic sometimes do

well people i do not know exactly what i'm talking about right now
so, do not judge. please :')

hungry? eat pasta!

a few days ago i made pasta carbonara for my lunch and post the pictures on instagram
then some of my friends text me, asking for the recipe
so today let me share the recipe here, simple and very easy to make
and sure not take hours to cook and serve 'em
let's see what you need

 you will need:
    200gr spaghetti (or fettucini if you like)
    1 tbs olive oil
    4 smoked beef (you can use bacon)
    2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    2 eggs, plus 1 extra yolk
    50ml thickened cream (optional)
    100ml fresh milk (ultra milk, plain)
    50gr cheedar cheese, grated (it's better with parmesan)
    1/2 tsp pepper
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 tbs chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves (optional, you can also sprinkle some oregano)

method:
Cook pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, heat oil in a frypan over medium heat. Cook smoked beef, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until beginning to crisp. cut lengthwise, then set aside. Place eggs, yolk, cream, milk and cheedar in a bowl, add salt and pepper, then mix gently with a fork. Drain your pasta. And set both aside.

Now heat your pan with olive oil, add garlic wait until golden brown, add your egg mix until boil slightly and until the eggs are cooked. Add the smoked beef strips and cooked pasta for 1 minute stir until well blended. Serve quickly with chopped parsley or oregano. i add some broccoli as garnish.
and LOOK! you are done :D

recommended for lunch or quick dinner. you also can find another carbonara recipe here and here.
Good food and Happy tummy :D

welcomeback bibi~

been a few days after Eid
few days of our busy morning, washing dishes, shofi's clothes, etc
and today (oh finally!) i had enough time to pick a few photos that i took few days before until after Eid
i was waiting sooooo long for this day, today 'bibi' has started to work!! *dance*
i feel my life is back to normal, which is have more time to play together with my babygilr (she's grown so fast, really)
but my hubby also had to go back to work today :(

so. as i wrote on previous post, we spent a lot of time together, to find a new place, shopping, and of course FOOD! i'll share a few photos, not so much because we had to take turns carrying or pushing the stroller (plus) some blur photos because i was using a manual fixed lens (i think i need a new one, hahaha)

yes, today is a fun monday, for me today is a Monday that feels like saturday
wohoo~
wish you had a nice monday too
and for those of you who work, maybe this will help you to beat your first monday after a long holiday: PAYDAY! :)))))

it's not a freeday friday

what comes on your mind when i say Friday?
yes. maybe we're thinking the same thing
which is a short fun day, and a few more hours to meet weekend
but not for this Friday (zzz)
my 'bibi' seems like (still) enjoying her Eid holidays
so my hubby and i formed a teamwork (sounds genius, no?) for household chores and taking care of shofi
as you might know (well, nobody know), the last few days we spent time together, shopping, finding new places or just driving around the city (a lotta fun!)
and today, we have a plan to take some time together at somewhere (haven't decided yet)

welllll, after this crazy busy morning, i deserve this kind of huge breakfast
hope y'all enjoy your breakfast ok i mean lunch at this time
happy fridaaaay!

Eid Mubarak

i celebrated Eid with my husband and daughter
an incredible happiness, really
although was little grief that we couldn't come together with our whole family in hometown
we spend the Eid with food, food, and more food
as i promised, i made pallubasa, sambal goreng ati, and opor ayam
it was good to have quality time with your loved ones
especially on the (long-awaited) victory day

and for you, who have read my blog until this post
i'd like to apologize for all the words and actions that might hurt
:)

Ramadan, i want to meet you again
don't come too late, we missed you already
