Assalamu’alaikum…

Pheeeewff… finally I have my time to updating my blog.

For a couple of weeks ago, I try to had a photo hunt at my environment living. I do it every morning at once a walk with my son. He likes to walk around and running around to every where, and looks happy to do that walking activity like he never being tired of it. He’s almost 20 months old now.

I try to capturing any kinds of plant as my object. And then I found something beautiful and they have PURPLE!!! Well it’s a wild flowers anyway but WoW Subhanallah they all pretty for me.. So I try to capturing them all, and you know?.. I realized now that to make some photograph is need a lot of patience..

And here they are…

Actually I’ve never saw them before.. they just grow every where and lots of them are sooo small, so I should used a macro to get a detail images of them. Some of them are bloom on a hiding place and also I found them grew in the gutter… So I put my self on the gutter to captured it (I know… it’s quite silly hee hee.. ).

And here I also want to show you one by one (unframed). Maybe some of you recognized those flowers and maybe knows their names… I hope you can tell me someday…

Between Duty & Indulging my Self

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:56:00 +0000

As an ordinary housewife I surely do everything task on my whole 24 hours everyday around the house. Cleaning, cooking, taking care of my son, then cleaning again, washing, ironing, bla..bla..bla..and so..and so.. and so.. and it’s all repeat it again in circle on the same pattern with the same rhythm.. Wow.. I don’t wanna say that I’m bored on that monotone situation.. but I should be greatfull of everything that I’ve got until rightnow.. Alhamdulillahirabbil’alamin..

I know its not easy things to do but it’s a must to try.. Sometimes I have to remind my self that I had enough fun times!!! And I had it all when I was a single. Like go to any place that I want, do many activities that I like, hangout with my friends anytime.. anywhere, have a job and I have my own income so I could buy anything that I like without any guilty, pampering my self with any kind of relaxation things every weekend, etc… That’s a totally pleasure. But everything is change after marriage.. My life is not just for my own, but also dedicate to others, a Husband, and now I also have a Son.

I always try to receive it my new condition.. be grateful, and be sure that marriage is a Gift.. It’s mean that God already gave His Bless and Trust to me to have an opportunity to become a life time partner for my Husband as his Wife, a Mother for my Son, and become a Super Woman for every situation for my little family. And from that day.. I surely do and give my whole dedication to become a housewife.

Actually I always feel worried about it, but Alhamdulillah my husband is help me and make me sure that being a housewife is not stopping me to keep working, or learning something, or maybe do everything that I like. Alhamdulillah he gave me all the facilities that I need, then I can do it all without have to leave the house, and also I still can do my duty as a housewife.

And I still can do relaxation things with my own relaxation kit… so I can do it my self at home. With just a simple instant body scrub product (I choose one with an aroma therapy oil + red alga on it) that I can find it easy on a mini market, and a very nice warm water.. That’s enough for me to relaxing my body and mind.

Scrubbing in Indonesia is “Luluran”. Actually the word it self is taking from a *Javanese language. Every Indonesian woman do this lovely things to keep our skin soft, brightening, and look young (^___^) hee..hee..

Back to the problems... First start is seems so hard.. I know.. but I keep fight for my self until I got the right rhythm. Well seems like everyday I almost do the same things around the house so I can used to it. And finally I can use my time to full fill everything between my duty as a housewife and also my pleasure things for my own personal.

The point is.. how to managing our TIME in efficient.. Make an everyday activity schedule or something simple like make a list of every task that we want to do on that day with a check list things on it (that’s what I like… checking!). Many of ways…. So, don’t stop to bloom our self to become more beautiful flowers…

I like to describe it we (a woman) as a beautiful flowers…. (^_^)v.

Here it is, I also share you a link for some explenation about *Javanese language for more completely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javanese_language

Me @ Masjid Al-Irsyad
Kota Baru Parahyangan_Padalarang

I’m in love with art, design, and photograph.. when I really have a leisure time, I always try to utilize every second that I have in maximum. I do some digital artwork that I've learned since a college on Faculty of Art & Design. I’ve learn Photoshop, Corel Draw, Autocad, and 3D Max as my basic computer skills. I used to work before married as a graphic designer on some advertising company in Bandung. Well… I don’t wanna waste or maybe loosing my abilitys because I just stay at home as a housewife.. Then I keep practicing and learning everything. Make some artwork, and now I do some photograph things for fun. Owh.. and blogging of course…

All that kind of right brain activities can keep my mood in balance.. You might be know how it feel when we have a very bad mood situation.. well.. it ruins everything. Be carefull... Better not to force yourself till you drop because you are getting super exhausted.

When A child asked God….

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:59:00 +0000

"God why my mother like to cry?"

God said…

“Because your mother is a woman, I Create her as a very special creature”

“I strengthened her shoulders to keeping her sons and daughters”

“I soften her heart to giving a sense of security”

“I Strengthen her womb for storing seed of man”

“I make her tough to keep her struggle when the others give up”

“I gave her a sensitivity to love her son and daughter in any kind of situation”

“I Strengthen her heart to keep loving despite being hurt by her son or daughter even by her husband”

“I gave her a power for encouraging her husband to learn from his mistakes”

“I gave her an inner beauty for her husband”

“Your mother is a very powerful creature”

“If any time you see her cry, it's because I gave her tears that can be used at any time to wash her wounds as well as to give her a new strength ....”

For every mother in all over the world… keep loving, keep strong, keep fight, and always beauty…

inside and outside…

Tranquilizing the Brain with making some Artwork

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:05:00 +0000

Actually I’m graduated from a college as a product designer, but in my daily life I rather much do some graphic designer things… so,.. am I put my self on a wrong major that day??? Hee hee.. I don't know....???

Now a days, instead of being a busy beautiful house wife, I like to make some digital artwork on my leisure time… And I think I have to... Because, sometimes I suddenly get an inspiration for my artwork. If I dont making it realized, than my head feels dizzy and it was making me so uncomfortable ... and even make it difficult for me to sleep.

By the way.. I would like to say apologize first to all of you whom see my artwork here… I was one of the indonesian dark digital artist (maybe it's still), almost of my artwork it look so creepy or maybe scary for you to see.. If it is, you don’t have to see it.. but if you still want to see it.. pleas enjoy it all …

(^_^)V

Thank you soo much…

Sleep in Beauty

I've got the inspiration from a Sleeping Beauty Princess story and I make my own princess with a gothic style .

DesolatedFlower

Well it's about a beautiful girl standing behind the window, looking to the outside with a sad eyes..
wishing for a friends and freedom..

The Fates

Actually I took these from a Greek mythology

About The Fates :
These three sisters share one eye, which they use to see the future. They also determine the deaths of mortals, cutting a mortal’s Thread of Life to send them to the Well of Souls in the Underworld. They know everything that has happened and will happen, and are an authority above the gods in this respect though they cannot kill a God, which they share among them. They are Clotho : The Fate who spins the Thread of Life. Lachesis : The Fate who decides how long your lifeline is and Atropos : The Fate who cuts your life-thread.
Their usualy look ugly and old, but I try to made them look young and pretty here..

Meet The Lady Bat

Here is my own fiction characters... I try again to put some gothic ornament on this artwork.. hmm.. and I try to make a little bit vampiric look on her.. hope it's work..

The 1st Doll

My very old past artwork on my very fist account on DA (I was Galadhesmonath and it has deleted)

Here is my very 1st X-periment with a doll things... I made this after I watch a Death Silence movie & Memoir of Geisha .. it's very inspired and I mix it here haha..

Ease

just to remind..
there's nothing last forever..
our younger look, our strength, our vision, our glorys..
our everything.. will fall in slowly

Little World I (The art of Fungus..)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:25:00 +0000

Starting on a freezy breezy day .. I'm in the kitchen, not for cooking but do anything else.. Washing the dishes. Like most people (maybe), when doing some task I just totally focused in there.. Then suddenly, I was a little deterred because there are lizards darted in front of me.. I automatically jump and was shocked.. I look around, look down, then look to the left & right as it is still cautious.. And... WOW .. I found something amazing.. A bunch of fungus!!!

With the growth of fungus in my kitchen, and the lizard, I hope you all not misunderstand about the condition of my kitchen.. My home kitchen is not completely closed, but it’s semi-outdoor.. we try to put that concept on it.. Hee hee.. So there's still a piece of area that purposely we save it on it’s natural. We hope it succeed with the concept to be come one with nature... (^ _ ^) v. And the fungus grow in peace there.

This is the first time I saw fungus growing in groups like that.. Subhanallah..

Finally, after I finished my dishes, I take a minute to be able to capture the fungus that lives in my kitchen with a camera…

While it was the first time I practiced this application "macro" on the camera.. I think it’s quite succeed while studying photography also.. And this is my amateur shots...

I had been looking from the Internet about this type of fungus.. Based from the info that I’ve got, these fungus are included in to the Genus of: Mycena sp. But I still don’t know about the specific of this fungus. Actually, I’m not sure about the Species... Many of them are similar. I was hoping that this is a species of Bioluminescent fungus (glow in the dark). If so, I want to try to take a picture again in the evening. But it was not.. Hee hee..

I am the type of person who loves to fantasize.. While enjoying the beauty of these fungus, I also imagined that this bunch of fungus is part of the little fairy world, just like I read and look in fairytale books... And for me it was so magical ...

For some people maybe the fungus are disgusting.. But for me it's one of God's Miraculous Creation.. I prefer to look at something in aesthetically.. So I said it’s magical.

Except for skin fungus ya .. It's called disease. (^ _ ^) v

Fungus... Oo Fungus...

Grows in a special place in a special time...

Short-lived with full of meaning, but not vain in prime...

What about you, Human???... Hope you're not blind...

To see every beauty of these fungus rhime...
