Happy Halloween

Hair Loss Vs Pregnancy

Starting four months ago my hairs fall so badly. I was so depressed until I didn’t want to brush my hair again. And it was like a nightmare every time I was shampooing my hair. I asked my problem to my on-line friends at the woman’s forums and they asked me whether I have a baby or not and they said that it is normal to have your hairs fall after delivery. The answer relieved my feeling because that time I had a 4-month-old baby.
I also searched other information regarding hair fall and pregnancy. They said that the hairs fall out because of the hormonal changes during pregnancy, and it usually occurs 4-6 months after delivering the baby. When you are pregnant, hormones pushed the hair to grow at the same time and hold them to shed. After delivering the baby, those pregnancy hormones are gone. Many hairs stop growing and they progress to fall out at the same time.

Now I know the reason why my hairs fall out so badly and besides wait until my hormone is normal, I get my hair cut to get a fresher look, do Hair Loss Treatments to help them grow faster and better and also not forget to consume healthy food and vitamin every day. Although now my hairs are still fall out but it much better than before.

Before - After Become A Mother

Become a mother is really change my entire life.

General
Before : Free as a bird, can fly where ever I want
After : Like a bird in the cage

In the house
Before : Cleaning the house whenever I want
After : Every day – Every minute is cleaning time

Before : Only cooking when hungry
After : Never absent in the kitchen at every hour

In the bed
Before : Free style sleeping in a wide bed
After : Like dry fish in the box, 1 bed 4 People, the children always sneak in between me and hubby.

Before : Wake up when the alarm clock is ringing in the morning
After : No more alarm, baby’s crying is waking me up every hour

Answering the phone call
Before : “Hello, Sorry can you call me again? I’m on the meeting”
After : “Hello, Sorry can you call me again? My child is crying!”

At the party
Before : I can’t hear you, the music is too loud!” --> club
After : I can’t hear you, the children are screaming!” --> children’s party

Entertainment
Before : Never missed the newest movie at the theaters
After : Never go to the theaters again

After an hour shopping
Before : “Ooo.. I want some more!”
After : “mommy, I want to go home!”

And the “Before-After” list is never end.

But anyway, in process of time I start to enjoy the motherhood and like other mommies the most enjoyable moment is when hunting or buying babies and toddler’s product. I often buy stuff for my babies at the online store, Oh My God! they are all cute and so tempting. I can’t stand to buy it all. Ha.ha..ha..
Like now, I’m searching for a stylish diaper bag that big enough to carry not only my two children’s stuff but also mine. I hope I can find it soon because it’s really bugging me to carry 3 bags at one time.

Well anyway, trust me that become a mother is something that cannot describe with words. Just enjoy it and always be grateful of what you have today.

For Ivel..

Don't worry, mommy bought something for you too, Ivel..

New Clothes For Zoya

I was shopping at the outlets and found these cute outfits for my little girl. It would be match with her “missing” shoe..

No More Reason For Students

When I browsed Friendster site a few days ago suddenly I found a photo of a man with familiar face but I forgot his name. So, I sent a message to him and in fact, he was my classmate at the senior high school. I’m so happy to find another old friend to add to. And the conversation is continued. He told me that right now he is taking master degree at Japan. Talking about Japan, I still remember when I applied for scholarship in Japan years ago. I think the hardest steps besides the interview section was writing an admission essay.

What about you, have you written an admission essay before? For me, it surely made me dizzy and if I had known about admissionsessays.com site that time, I would not have spent weeks to write it. Have you heard about their service? Well, their educated editors and writers will help you in writing your admission essay and personal statement, such as college application essay, law school personal statement or MBA admission essay. And the best thing is they also provide free sample essays in their site that you can use as inspiration in drafting your own essays. What do you think, interesting, isn’t it?
So for all students, now this “admission essay” thing is not the reason to stop your dream in getting higher education in your favorite school or university.

Bus Charter NYC

This post is to continue my previous post about Things To Do List, yes it is about New York City again. A friend gave me great information for traveler in New York. She suggested that if you and family or friends come to New York City, it’s better to use Bus Charter NYC for your transportation around the city. Although New York is very famous with its mass transportation, using Bus Charter NYC is more efficient and effective for tourist like us who do not familiar with the area. They offer variety of charter transportation; from 9 to 57 passenger vehicles. So it will be suitable for any size of group. They will take you to everywhere you want to go in New York City. My friend also told me according to her experience, their service is very professional, experience and off course safety.

Their key to a successful trip such as: on time service, well maintained and high quality vehicles, courteous and experienced drivers and also friendly staff made them as a leader in transportation for over 20 years.
Well, if my dream to go to New York comes true, I will remember about this advice and use the Bus Charter NYC for my transportation around the city.

Transformation

Finally, Ivel had his hair cut. We spent almost 2 hours in the barbershop, because he refused to get it cut. He screamed and cried loudly. The last time he went there about 6 months ago, he enjoyed the moment. The hairdresser cut his hair while he was playing some toys or sitting on the small car watching cartoon video. But I don’t know what happened on that day, why he was so angry?
Anyway, now he looked like a boy, no more “she” if people see him.

2008 Honda Fit

These days, buying a compact car is a smart choice for economical reason and Honda Fit is one of the great options for you to buy. Honda fit or also known as Honda Jazz in some countries is a five-door hatchback that designed to be small on the outside, but big on the inside. With price around US $ 15,000, Honda Fit is the lowest-priced car from Honda. Although it has awkward looking design, Honda Fit has a very cozy interior and it is up near the top of its class in safety, even The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives Honda Fit five stars rating for front crashes and front seat occupants’ protection in side crashes. But only three stars in rear seat occupants’ protection in side crashes. Honda Fit is capable of returning 34 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg in city driving. Its high fuel-efficiency is one of the reasons that made this car best seller in some countries.

In the United State, they are only two types offered: the Base type and Honda Fit Sport. Both are available in five-speed manual or automatic transmission. Honda Fit with the best seat and cargo configuration of any small car and also its various color selections make it very comfortable and fun to drive.

Lost Her Shoe

She lost her shoe again. It’s the second time. These shoes were bought 2 weeks ago and it only had been used twice. I love this little shoe because it matched with almost all of her suits. When we were walking at the mall, suddenly I realized that the shoe on her right feet was gone. Hmm.. now I just need to buy another pair…

Eyeglasses

A year ago, we intensively taught my niece to read because she would enter the elementary school that year. Every time we went by car, she always read the advertisement on the big billboard loudly just to show off. But sometimes if we asked her to read a book, she just stared at the page and refused to read. The reason was the words are too complicated. We accepted her reason for the first time but it always happened. A big question came on our mind:”Is that true that she can’t read or she just can’t see clearly?” Moreover we remember her habit that always watches too close to the TV.
We took her to the ophthalmologist, and the result is as we have been worried about and she must use eyeglasses. That explained everything, why she could read words on the big billboard but not from the book with smaller fonts.

After she used glasses, everything is going smooth. She can read well and even she can watch the TV from the couch again. But now another problem comes, my brother needs to buy her new eyeglasses many times because she often lose or break it accidentally. He said that it will make him broke..ha..ha..
Luckily a friend suggests him to search $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses for stylish prescription glasses with truly reasonable and affordable prices. Now his eyes won’t pop open every time he needs to buy her new eyeglasses again..ha..ha..

Dan Neumeister

For some people, to read other’s people success story can motivate them to work better. No wonder that many of autobiography books from success people are best seller in every book stores. That is what I want to share with you just to inspire my blog’s readers to do better in their own life or job life. And starting right now, I’ll share info about the best man in a certain field.

Right now there is Dan Neumeister, a former Chief Executive Officer and System Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Enloe Health System. His career is one of the best examples of success in the healthcare industry. And from his experiences, he is really an expert in healthcare mergers and acquisitions, organizational change, sales and marketing, physician and hospital board development and financial management for medical centers and community hospitals. He also an inspirational leader and a creative thinker who always made decisions with the best interests of the patients, hospital and community at heart.

Built Your Career

For you who just graduated from college, now it’s the time to find a job and built your career. What kind of job that you are looking for? Is it Banker, designer or sales? And what company are you intent to work with? Is it Citibank, Amerisave or Microsoft?

Well, everybody must have their own dream job. But not all of them get what they want. These days, to find your perfect job is very difficult and most of companies only recruit high quality people. It because lack of job demand while many fresh graduates come every year. Sometimes one position is filled by a person with different background. In this case, they don’t think about their dream job again, what they think is to find a job, any job is the most important right now. Well, it happened to me and friends who graduated from agricultural technology department but worked at the advertising company or at the bank. It’s obvious that by holding only your college degree certificate would not give guarantee to get your dream job. To avoid this, I suggest you to get empowered, take course and certification that suitable with your desire job. Well anyway, good luck for you fresh graduates!

Recruit Only The Best Man

My husband told me that recently his office have to face a big problem, most of the best employees have resign and move to other companies, and sometimes they’re taking other employees to move with them, I see it’s an ordinary things in business, specially on lower level, but that’s not the big problem. The big problem is when the other company hijacks the upper management too, from manager to the Vice President. Maybe this is the time for the company to find someone that suitable and congruent with company’s mission and vision, because I see this is a critical for business success.
The company should be able to find the leader that has competencies, strength and capabilities. The company must learn from Mr. Carey to find the best people to be replaced in the best places, because Mr Carey is an expert corporate recruiter. He has conducted searches the best CEO for the best companies such as 3M and American Standard.

Air Purifier

Last week, I accompanied my friend to buy an air purifier at the electronic store, she said it can help us to reduce indoor air pollution such as pollen, dust, cigarette smoke and animal dander. The salesman also said that nowadays air purifier is a must have item to maintain healthy indoor air and it is recommended not only for allergy and asthma sufferers but also for people with baby at home.

I’ve been using air conditioner for years but now I am thinking to use air purifier too. I’ve told about this to my husband and he agrees with me, especially because we have babies at home. Before we buy an air purifier, we should determine the size of the unit we will need and what features we would like. For help choosing the right air purifier for my space, I read EcoQuest intl fresh air quickstart guide. I hope I’ll get the right air purifier soon. I’ll tell you the result later on my next post.
