Filosofinya hanya menyimpan barang yang membawa kegembiraan dan singkirkan yang tidak dari pandangan.

Secara garis besar kamu bisa mulai untuk memilah Pakaian, Buku, Kertas, Barang Kecil, Barang Sentimentil.

Kita mulai dari lemari yuk, coba tengok pakaian kamu di lemari!

Pakaian

Bagaimana? Berantakan? Berhamburan? Ayo mulai memilah! Jangan pikir ini akan memakan waktu yang sebentar. Begini urutannya biarku permudah;

Keluarkan semua isi lemarimu (boleh di atas kasur) sampai kosong melompong. Kemudian mulai memilah dengan menyimpan kembali baju yang menyenangkan untuk di pakai dan memasukkan yang tidak disukai ke dalam kantong plastik atau apa saja untuk menampungnya.

Buku

Berapa banyak koleksi bukumu tergantung dari suka atau tidak kamu membaca. Apa kamu sudah baca semua buku yang kamu miliki? Kamu yakin punya waktu untuk membacanya? Jika menurut kamu itu tidak penting untuk dibaca lebih baik segera singkirkan dari pandangan. Cari dan simpan buku yang berkualitas untuk kamu konsumsi.

Jika bukumu ada satu lemari penuh, sama halnya dengan pakaian. Mulailah mengeluarkan semuanya dari lemari dan hanya simpan buku yang bernilai tinggi untuk mendukungmu mencapai tujuan hidupmu.

Kertas

Surat, fotokopi berkas, struk belanja, struk atm dan lain-lain. Jika sudah habis masa pakainya sebaiknya dikumpulkan di satu tempat. Kertas terbuat dari bahan organik jadi kamu bisa membuangnya dengan menguburnya di tanah jika memungkinkan. Jika kamu mengerti bangaimana cara mendaur ulangnya maka akan sangat bermanfaat untukmu dan lingkungan.

Barang Kecil

Tanpa sadar barang-barang kecil ini terselip atau berhamburan di setiap sudut rumah. Ada jarum mungkin terselip di sela-sela sofa atau baterai bekas pakai tergeletak begitu saja di bawah meja. Inspeksi lebih detail diperlukan. Inilah mengapa orang Jepang membersihkan rumah mereka secara menyeluruh setahun sekali. Karena mengetahui seisi rumah itu bersih dan rapi memberikan kenyamanan untuk tinggal lebih lama. Rumah yang nyaman tentu saja membawa kebahagian dan berujung pada kedamaian bagi penghuninya.

Barang Sentimentil

Aduh yang ini mungkin agak sulit untuk ditentukan. Barangnya sama sekali tidak memiliki fungsi berarti tapi dibalik itu ada orang penting yang memberikannya untukmu. Kamu harus bagaimana? Tetap menyimpannya atau memutuskan untuk merelakannya? Kembali kepadamu, jika itu benar-benar bermakna yang dalam bagimu maka jangan ragu untuk menyimpannya di tempat yang aman.

Suatu saat barang itu akan mengingatkan Kembali dengan kenangan lama yang terjadi melaluinya.

Jadi bagaimana? Apa barang-barangmu sudah tersusun dan tertata rapi? Ingat untuk selalu menemukan tempat untuk barangmu agar tidak berantakan dan segera mengembalikannya setelah selesai dipakai ke tempatnya semula.

Clodi VS Pospak ?

Cloth diaper (clodi)/popok kain VS popok sekali pakai ? Jawabannya tergantung bunda sekalian. Baik clodi maupun pospak memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing.

Untuk bunda yang idealis paham betil tentang dampak buruknya sampah. Clodi menjadi pilihan nomor 1. Tidak tanggung-tanggung, keinginan dalam pikiran semasa hamil yaitu memakaikan baby clodi 24/7.

Oke, so lets we check out kelebihan dan kekurangan dari masing-masing jenis popok tersebut.

Kelebihan Clodi

1. Anti ruam. Bayi yang menggunakan clodi lebih terhindar dari ruam karena kain alas ompol yang tidak mengandung bahan kimia.
2. No sampah. Hal ini menjadi faktor utama bagi bunda pencinta lingkungan dan sangat aware dengan masalah yang akan ditimbulkan sampah jika menggunakan pospak.
3. Bisa dipakai berkali-kali. Satu clodi bisa dipakai berkali-kali bahkan bisa dipakai turun temurun.

Kekurangan Clodi 

1. Mudah bocor. Clodi tidak memiliki indikator sudah seberapa banyak tampungan yang dikandungnya. Sehingga tanpa sadar ompol dedek bayi sudah merembes saja.
2. Harga mahal diawal. Harga clodi per satuan bisa mencapai ratus ribu rupiah. Jadi siap-siap merogoh kocek besar pada awalnya.
3. Butuh tenaga ekstra. Setelah memakai clodi tentu saja clodi tidak dibuang begitu saja. Bunda harus punya tenaga ekstra untuk mencuci agar bisa digunakan kembali. Selain itu bunda juga perlu mengetahui cara perawatannya agar clodi tetap awet untuk jangka waktu yang lama.

Kelebihan Pospak

1. Praktis. Pospak sangat memudahkan. Sehabis pakai tinggal buang. Tidak perlu cuci mencuci. Aman dan nyaman untuk dibawa kemana-mana.
2. Pernukaan kering. Hal ini menjaga bayi tidak merasakan basah yang bagi sebagian bayi bisa membuatnya gusar.
3. Jarang bocor. Dibandingkan clodi pospak lebih jarang bocor.
4. Harga murah. Harganya murah per satuan.

Kekurangan Pospak

1. Bisa menyebabkan ruam. Kondisi yang pengap dapat menyebabkan bagian pribadi dedek yang basah lebih mudah ruam.
2. Karet berbekas. Kulit bayi masih lembut dan halus jadi ketika dipakaikan pospak maka lebih sering berbekas. 

Begitulah review clodi VS pospak yang saya alami. Saya memakai kedua jenis popok tersebut. Saya ingin menggunakan clodi 24/7. Namun malam hari saya ingin beristirahat dengan tenang sehingga dedek saya pakaikan pospak.

Pregnancy -Baby Myth from Bangka, Indonesia

When it comes to pregnancy, you will heard lots of people's opinion. Some may makes you happy to hear that but some may put you down while hormones makes you emotionally unbalance. It makes happy when they said 'congrats' or other positive things but some word may scared you. For more when you heard something insane like a myth. You'll probably said 'oh really?'

More than half of Indonesian live by myth. Believe on something which has no correlation acts could be danger to your womb. I don't know the entire pregnancy myth in Indonesia. But here some myth I have heard while stay in Bangka Island, Indonesia.

1. Don't twist your towel over your head after bath. It could makes the umbilical cord twisted you baby.
2. Don't start in the middle of door. It could makes your baby's head stuck while labor. In fact, standing in the middle of door could harm you if someone in rush and crash you or because door is the biggest airflow hole in the house, you could inhale outside viruses.
3. Corset will make your postpartum belly small faster. In fact, exercise are needed to make your separated abdominal muscle come together again. It has nothing to do with the corset.
4. Wear 'gurita bayi' for your baby so she/he had no big/gassy belly. In fact 'gurita bayi' is not recommended to use because infant breath by their abdomen. Gassy belly could reduced by burping the baby often, especially after feeding.
5. Straightening infant leg while swaddling will avoid clubbing foot. In fact, thight swaddling in leg area may caused hyp dysplasia.
6. Rubbing some honey in the lips will makes his lips shiny. In fact, infant may swallowed bacteria called clostridium botulinum which is dangerous.
7. Giving water is good. In fact, under six months old baby who swallowed water could interfere their body to absorb the nutrients in breast milk.

This myths bothering me a lot in the fast. But now I can deal with it. Myth is exist in our daily life. But as long as I knew the truth I have no dare to at least implement them to my life. I have no regret to share my experiences. I will believe what makes sense to me and stand for the right.

Hiro Birth Story

I walk every morning to stay healthy.Waiting on due date was so mixing feels. Anxious, frightened, worried, excited, become in one package. There are a lot different good ad bad pregnancy story but I keep the positive mind and think everything's gonna be alright.

36 weeks is my last ultrasound appointment and I can't see my baby's face because he already moves toward me. Sadly an umbilical cord has seen on Obgyn's screen. Obgyn said everything's okay and asked me to come back next month.

38 weeks is age of maturity of my fetus and my heart start to pump higher whether labor sign would come soon or later. My husband only have 2 weeks permission from his job. We should decide the perfect time so he could be my side when our love born. 39 weeks he's home but I've no sign for labor. I continuing my workout likewise and start other new things to induce my labor such as harvesting palm coconut tree so i do a lot of squats.

I woke up while due date has reached out but I feel nothing. Riski already a week with me and he only have another a week to go. If I'm not deliver between 7 day or so I will give birth without him. So, I search on internet how to induce labor that told me that massage could induce it then I go for it.

11:30, Friday I finished massage. 18.30 my water broke while riding motorcycle with my husband. We want to go to night market and directly meet our midwife. I try to walk but I think that's not a good idea because the water flew out. I wait my husband to bought me a cup of cane water then we go straight to midwife place. No contraction. She checked me and it's just half opening. So, she send us to hospital.

I got infusion as obgyn said so and wait until 24 hours. If contraction has no progress they'll take action. 10 o'clock of the next day, I checked and it only 1 opening. So, they put induction in my infusion water. After that I can't remember anything what time and how's my progress. The induction pain me more especially in my lower back. I remember I was give up in the middle of it's way but a midwife supporting me well so I could passed it and keep my mind to have a normal labor.

18.30 They checked me again and I was on 8, ready to deliver. A baby inside me want to get out that time. I can't handle that. Thanks God time to push come. This is my first labor experience an I'm suck with pushing. I have no idea how to push so better for first time mother wanna be to learn how to push before the real time coming. I was push with noise and wrong breathing technique. So, the midwife do episiotomy to help my little one because his head at the door.

There he is! Healthy young boy 2,7 kg, 47 cm named Hiro arrived. He's so cute and looks like me. The new path as parent just start right after midwife sew my private area to fix it up. Its such a big calm inside my heart. After 40 weeks I cant take my deep breath, lay and rest awhile. Ready for the next rock!

Compare

There are a lot of differences from developed country and developing country. Every society has their own life. They have their own way to do something stuff but different way. Let say for example, when you live in Canada, people who cook in Canada most of them are man but when you are in Indonesia most of man never cooking.

What we going to do just let the perspective goes by it way. Appreciate anything that people had for their own thing. When you have different perspective so just try to open your mind for what people trying to tell you about. never underestimate something than what you expected. Because sometime we do something worse that than people done.

Be kindness is the important thing because you can have more time to observe what are you doing alright or wrong. It's help a lot when you let the life flow but do not over flowing that it situation more. No matter it, just keep it balance and never do highest or shortest but what we can do only do higher or shorter.

One thing that must we knowing are process is more important that it look like as people.

Daily Activity

Okay, so I'll will write what usually i do everyday. Five O'clock I wake up and then take ablution. When I feel fresh I start my subuh pray. After that I take my book and read them until i feel it's enough for me because in the morning is a really good time for my brain to think and almost all of the thing that I read i can catch them 70%.

I drop out from my school because i didn't have enough money. So I work at goverment office as a cleaning service. Usually I use their computer to learn about anything that I want to know like health, economy, sport, science etcetera. I really love to learn by this way because i didn't need money to having some knowledge for my self.

When I back home, I feel so tired so I take a nap and after that I'm cooking for my self for dinner. I'll probably do something that i love. Like singing, playing guitar, or reading and writing. Finnaly I'm going to bed and sleep.

I feel that god care enough with my life because I still found the way to reach the knowledge that I wanna learn. I'm lucky everysecond of my breath. :D

Reactive Myself

Ought, I defence my self from lazy thing like lying on the bed about 12hours a day. It's just wasting my time as a human on the earth. Nothing much that I can do except let it flow. I create my character based on my mood although I already know that to become an opposite than it I must press my self onto automatic movement. When it created I'll found that it easier than I thought.

So, today i have my spirit on to do something like this, you know. I write what was on my brain and i pour it as a writing thing. I really love when i can read and write because i feel that i still an empty glass and i need more water. Read when I'm empty and write when i feel that i need space to use another water.

I do believe what I've done are what will i get in the future. No mater it bad or good. No matter it small or big. Just flowing the process that i already write before to become my ideology. Although it always wrong but i believe it worth it after.

For anyone who read this don't be afraid about problem that you get today because it already written by you before you come in this earth. Always be cool when you try to resolve it.
