Wish You the Most Magical 2013!

Have a very happy new year and even happier in times ahead, people!

For me, 2012 was good. Specially for my pregnancy and Pijar's birth. Life changing, absolutely.
Terima kasih tiada habisnya pada yang memberi kehidupan.

Anyway, sesungguhnya, saya bisa dibilang salah satu penikmat pesta kembang api setiap tahun baru. I just love fireworks. Dua tahun terakhir, waktu tinggal di apartment, kalo mau menikmati kembang api, entah itu tahun baru atau natal, atau lebaran, atau tahun baru cina, biasaya saya cuma buka jendela atau kalo mau lebih puas naik ke roof top. Dan kebetulan di mall yang jaraknya selemparan kolor dari apartemen, pesta kembang apinya selalu dahsyat. So it was easy and fun.

As taken 2 years ago, marking the 2011

So how was it yesterday? Kita tentu saja sudah pindah ke rumah di daerah suburban, tipikal keluarga muda (dari kelas menengah tentunya :D). Jauh dari mana2, di kompleks (hampir) penuh sama keluarga muda. Kembang apinya tetep ada. Petasan juga. Bedanya, kali ini saya malah stand by deket Pijar yang bobo ganteng, siap2 tutup telinganya tiap kembang api atau petasan tetangga nyala. Wishing if only these fireworks have a silent mode, as it woke my baby up, every time! Hahaha.

Looking back, here's a big recap what had happened last year
- me, already married for 1 month, yes to my almost-8-year-boyfriend :)
- me, got pregnant, yeay!
- best friend Meita got pregnant too with her second child, cuma beda seminggu sama sayah! kompak sekalih manih.
- me, and with help from my team, managed to get my team to get into North Korea. Sesuatu sekali ini, as I'm sure we're the first Indonesian TV who did it. Kecuali kalo jaman TVRI dulu kali ya ada. Guenya tinggal duduk manis, di Jakarta. Kan hamilllll. Haha.
- best friend Desy got scholarship and then moved to study in UK on September
- best friend Galuh got back after finishing her study in UK (on scholar too!), see they come and go, guenyaaa kapaaannn.

Prosesi penjemputan Galuh, seminggu kemudian tim pemberangkatan haji kembali berkumpul di bandara mengantarkan Desy

- me, gave birth to my awesome Pijar.

He's just simply adorable from the first time :)

- Pijar, he grows up. I can mark his first week after birth, a month, 40 days, and so on....
- celebrity, our Princess Kate is pregnant too. (seriously, i just think everybody got pregnant this year. malah susah nyari yang nggak hamil deh kayaknya. terutama di kantor saya, hahaha)
- celebrity (yes he is), Andi Mallarangeng mengundurkan diri dari jabatan Menpora karena resmi menajdi tersangka kasus Hambalang. Catet ya, kita tidak mengagumi kasus korupsi yang menimpa dia, tapi perilaku mengundurkan diri ketika tersangkut kasus ini baru pertama kali terjadi deh di Indonesia.
- best friend Metalipoa, got promoted and I just very happy for her. She's always excellent in her job, and did I tell you that she managed to get into Al-Houthi base, interviewed one of the leader, when she was covering the revolution in Yemen. Tell you, this is not an easy job for a foreign journalist, a female, and even she's not a journo from a big-mainstream-international-media. Trus, gue harus bilang wow gitu? IYA harus! :))
- me, became fan of Dexter and The Newsroom, woohoo!
-me, didn't travel as much as before *yawning*, mengingat tahun sebelumnya sempat mengelana bekerja sampai ke Libya, Mesir, Iraq, even Israel!
- best friend Hadi resigned from office dan berkarir menjadi TKI (ilegal) di Singgapoh. Hadeuh, kapan gue bisa mengikuti jejak ini. Meeting him before leaving was a closure of this year. I was sad, almost as sad as when Desy left. Ihik.

Really, mata yang berkaca-kaca tidak membantu kegendatan dan kekusutan gue. Hadiiiiii

As in this January, Pijar is already 3 months old! Yeay! He's been great, healthy and handsome :) And we love each other more and more everyday. 2013 will even better for us. So, bring it on!
