Doing Small Business, and Get more lucky!

My God...almost 3 months I left this blog! Actually I have another blog also, so I am pretty busy to care my all blogs. Beside that, lately I am busy with my small business.

What’s kind of that business? Last month I decided to join the dbc-network. What's that? I’m sure almost all people knows it! Well, it's a multi-level marketing (MLM) for body care products from SWEDEN which’s very well known in this country: ORIFLAME. Haha .. I know people must have been antipathy to hear word “MLM”! 

Honestly, in the beginning me too! And you know? I decided to join in this business after going through  along-long... consideration, really! I've often read on the blog about this business, and already many ads everywhere. But my heart has not been reacted. Well, because of doubts over the promises of MLM was that!

But then, one day in mid-May 2012, suddenly I read a blog of sweet and simple housewife – Mbak nidya- who currently can achieve Gold Qualifier Director ... and get income reached 11 million / month *** slurrrrppp * **. 

Like me, she also was skeptical of this business at first, does it really make someone succeed? and initially well ... full of challenges: rejected friends / relatives, etc.  Very underestimated.  

After reading her blog, I changed my mind! I thought: why don’t try anyway?  Whether it’s success or not that's up later! (I am a person who does something relax but still a lot of praying! Hehe).

Thus finally, ... I join the dbc-network around the date of May 10, 2012.  When I joined, Oriflame was celebrating their 45th Anniversary! so I only paid registration Rp9.900 (normally Rp39.900) Do I really lucky? Yes! Beside I get free product in the same time!

After I joined their FB, I really was a lot of supports from the leader and other fellow consultants. Bottom line: We'll never be left alone! In the dbc-network we are one, in happiness and sadness!

Besides the support of fellow leaders and consultants, there are many interesting from this business! we are given a free product! – ofcourse terms and condition do exist!   But it’s not as hard as you think! That terms and conditions would spur us to get  the spirit of doing business!. Like yesterday, when I seems being lazy, my leader knew it! (Note: our activity can be monitored automatically through the website Oriflame!)  then, just to get my spirit up, my leader promised to give me a free product and a person as my downline! As a result ..my spirit was back, got free product and downline!  

Honestly, I used to be not a connoisseur of Oriflame products. Sometimes I just buy a lipstick! But since I joined this business and got a lot of free product, now I think I love it !  Yesterday I tried to buy a body lotion this is:

Get it Free!!

after using it, my feet which before dry and scaly, become so soft again! (It’s true! not just a promotion or advertisement!).  

So ... I can say that I am not sorry to join the dbc-network!  I can enjoy the products, and someday, if I work harder than now- Insyalloh - I will get a millions salary like Mbak Nidya!

Note:

GOOD NEWS! For those who join the dbc-network, will get one of the above products, namely: Body Lotion with Green Tea Extract 400ml .... Special from ME!!

Mommy, don't cage me!

Wohoo.... seems I look like a horrible mommy!
No, ofcourse not ! this is my daughter's way to have fun. She likes to try something new.
My sista' , a couple months ago gave me a cage for her ex-cat.
I originally wanted to use this cage for next rabbits. But since my hubby said  rabbits which we bought got lost twice, and we always did'n't care about them, my hubby said 'no' to buy it again!
So...finally, that cage become a place for Jasmine playing 'hide and seek' with me!

Horaay..I got giveaway!

Finally..i got giveaway, after so many times I joined some blog's giveaway. Thank Maya..you gave me a novel title "drunken mama".  that novel seems have funny story! I really like it!

This is a picture that I took ..

Health is the most precious gift !!

What is the most precious gift in your life? for me, 'Health' !! Some people generally will have just realized it after they got sick! Nothing can compares it! You can buy a car, a house, or maybe hundreds hectare land...but those are nothing compared to Health ! And I have just agreed last week when my whole family got sick in the same time! Specially Jasmine! She got Typus scale 4. She had to stay for 5 days in hospital. While I was also getting flu! But  in order to care my baby, I forgot my pain, I tried to be healthy! 

Now, Alhamdulilah...everyone is being healthy! Seems Pain is just shock therapy from God. He asked me to do the best as human! Not only wealth, but also pains!

God has given us health body, use your healthy time for something usefull: studying, worship, helping each other. Use your healthy time before pain coming!

first day in hospital. Look at her eyes! really sick and not bright! 

before going home , she could smile again and enjoyed her meals!

Karimata Resto (Part I)

Me and my husband is liking to have lunch in a resto located at Sentul area: Karimata Resto. This resto is exactly in front of exit toll Sentul Selatan. Their special menu is Ikan bakar Patin dalam bambu. Very delicious, spicy, packaged in banana leaf which put into bamboo. Smell is good: Grill fish in bamboo!

If we wanna have a lunch over there, better we have reservation first. Because of so many visitors  in the lunch time, and you have to wait untill there is available place for lunch. I had ever come without booking. We should have waited around a half hour. Be patient! said my sista'. My worm stomach was singing along waiting time. I was so hungry! I had imagined that I would eat grill fish in bamboo. Yummy..

Next time, I will tell you more detail about this resto and show you a picture of Fish in bamboo...(or you can visit their sites HERE ).

waiting untill a place is available

Happy Birthday Jasmine..

I has just realized that you have stepped on the age of 2 years old
Like Yasser, you become active
Like Yassin, you become talkative
But someday you will find your style 


Dear Jasmine, my little girl
Grow up and don't stop your activity!
Till you know life is the great adventures
And you walk on your way for sure

Imlek in Royal Safari Garden Hotel

As I ever told you that the Royal Safari hotel is our favorite place for staying in Puncak Bogor. And that happened in Imlek Vacation last week. Me and my big family stayed 2 nights at Royal Safari hotel. Starting from Saturday on 21 January  untill Monday on 23 January 2012. We know that this was an umpteenth time we stayed here. But We never feel bored. Because of having comfortable place and complete facility (you can find all place for any kinds of sports). Only one which doesn't like there: their food is not delicious! Well, we don't bother about that, cause we can find another resto around hotel. Across there is Sate H. Kadir. This Sate is very famous in Puncak area. Taste of this food is very delicious, whether it is sate or soup kambing! But If you don't like sate or soup kambing, you can walk into besides hotel and find Pecel Lele, Ayam bakar and so on. I'll bet you will not being a bum, just because you can't eat anything! hehe..

The most I like in this hotel is: every morning we can walk around, playing badminton or basket ball or table tennis, swimming in water splash, and riding bicycle. Or maybe you will try riding camel or elephant? welcome!! For who has children or baby, you can take them to playground. This area is behind the main restaurant and lobby. Another playground is located near the birds park in backyard of hotel.

The Thousand Island with a thousand charms

I planned this journey since a couple years ago, but It could have implemented in the end of last year, exactly on 25 to 26 December 2011. What a surprise that finally we could go to the Thousand Island. My kids were so happy that they would be a vacation with their cousins. They didn’t stop asking who would be going? how long would we stay? Where islands would we visit? Etc. Silent kids! so many questions and I couldn’t answer all of its, coz I was busy with my stuffs! 

We went on Sunday morning at 08.30 a.m from Marina Ancol.  The fact was not only me and my family were going to the Thousand Island, but there were many groups also. Whether they were a family or friends or a couple.  When I looked around, I realized that my group had lots of luggage. Hehe…as if we would go for a week!  Kids, specially girls didn’t wanna standing beside the luggage! They felt a shame! Haha.. me? I didn’t care! As usual, I took it easy. I opened my luggage and took some meals. Waiting was a boring time, and it made me hungry!

We chartered a medium speed boat which has capacity for 25 passengers. My family was 22 persons, so it was enough, right? It had taken time for 40 minutes into Pulau TIdung. This was the first island we visited. This island is enough crowded. The island have lots of water sports, such as banana boat, cano, and sailing. There was a bridge into Pulau Tidung Kecil. The bridge is made from woods. Some has fragile and holes. We should be careful, because under this bridge was many ‘Bulu Babi’. Owh..It was not be danger or deathly, but it could make us scratchy! Yak..

There's something about Tomohon

I have never thought that finally I went to Manado, North Sulawesi. A place where people knows so many beautiful woman. I travelled to Manado with my friends. We visited our branch office. We had 3 days 2 nights over there. Leave on Thursday morning (15 December 2011) and return on Saturday morning (17 December 2011). Meanwhile, our schedule meeting with the Head of branch office was on Friday afternoon.

When we arrived in Sam Ratulangi Airport, many taxi drivers surrounded us. We just gave smile and said 'no, thanks!'. We had to make sure that we would choose a good driver with a good car. We didn't want what  happened in Palembang would happen in Manado! (hei..Did I ever tell you that we found a reckless driver in Palembang? yeah, we hired a young reckless driver. He is a college student who seeking additional income with being a driver of his friend's rental car. Basically, he is a good boy, familiar and polite. But when he brought a car, he changed to be a reckless! ups! ).

Finally, we choose one of driver who -by our feeling- he would be a good driver, not reckless driver! And I thought we choose a right person!. He is from Makasar who working in Manado. His wife is from Tomohon. Talking about Tomohon, there was something interesting over there. As people knows that Manado has many beautiful women. But in our view, no! not in Manado! Manado's girl looked same with others big city. But in Tomohon, this is it:  Not only woman, man also looks charming! wow! They have a good skin! We guessed because of Tomohon has a cold weather! Tomohon is as cold as Bandung. This city is surrounded by mountains and hills. That's why it's cold!

During in Manado, we visited to Bukit Kasih and Danau Tondano, enjoying Gunung Lokon, Gunung Manado Tua, Bunaken from the distance! We never felt bored to have dinner with Ikan bakar and Sambal dabu-dabu! One that I will never forget : eating fried banana with sambal!! can you imagine? sweet banana dipped into sambal?? waw......very delicious! and it was more perpect because we ate while enjoying the beauty of ocean, Gunung Manado Tua, and Bunaken far away.

Hm...what else? almost forgot to say that we stayed 2 nights at Swiss Bell Hotel. This hotel located at Jalan Jend Sudirman. It's strategic hotel! surrounded by minimart, restaurant, not far from ocean, beach, and shopping centre. We just walked into the beach around 15 minutes!! how far? around 1 kilometre..hehe! not far hugh? enough for your exercising in the afternoon! your tired will be less when you look at the beauty of ocean. In the beach you will find McDonald with its cozy place or maybe you wanna have dinner Ikan bakar? please feel free !

Unfortunately, we just had 2 days in Manado! 2 days were not enough for us traveling in Manado! We didn't yet visit Danau Linau or diving in Bunaken. Someday, I will be back to Manado!
