Oh my...it's been so long since my last post. I've been so busy with work that I have no time to really blog, share stories, pictures, and interesting events in my life--yeah, like you need them that badly.

But, I really do miss it. Not only posting but also visiting your blogs, commenting here and there, watching your kids grow. Yeah, DO miss it.

My life? How do I picture it now?

It's good. It's sometimes even so great that I thank Allah every single second. And, BTW, I feel like I'm more religious now. It's good. I think it could be because of my job--I work for a family tv channel with Islamic content--or it could be the monthly gathering in a Mosque near my house. Or, both.

My daughter is 4 now. She has graduated from the playgroup. She will be going to kindergarten next month. We have chosen Al-Hidayah, an Islamic school. We would like her to understand Islam well. Besides, it's nearby and it's not expensive.

My husband shaved his mustache last week and I almost didn't recognize him. I screamed, "You're not the one I fell in love with!"

Now, at least, I know why I fell in love with--no, no, I haven't been asking myself about it all these years (I've known him for almost 7 years now).

I think that's it for now. I hope I'll have the chance to visit your blogs, my dear fellow bloggers.

Things might change a little in the next future. I might go back to work, 9 to 5 (in my country, Indonesia, it's 8 to 5 or 8.30 to 5.30...we tend to wake up earlier so the companies want us to come earlier than those living in the west). It's not for sure yet. I haven't signed any papers but the boss said, "Welcome aboard," already. We'll see.

The job might be kinda demanding, so, I don't think I'll have a chance to blog at the office. But, there is no way I'm gonna cut this hobby off. I definitely will still be writing blogging at home.

Writing/blogging is a great therapy, I have to admit. I feel much better after posting. I feel happier, more contented.

I know, these days I don't blog as often as before. Actually, because things run so fast in my life. First this and then that...than go back to this and next thing I know this turns out to be that again. Life has been like riding a roller coaster. So, getting time to blog here is hard.

But, know what, I managed to watch a TV series, Traveler. One of the TV stations in my country has just aired it and many people seemed to love it. But, the end was only like that? So disappointing. Why wouldn't ABC bring it back?

Well, at least, I could find an explanation HERE.

Now, I only have American and Indonesian Idol to watch!

what you say type.

This weekend, I've just learned a good lesson in the world of blogging and commenting.

It seems like I have hurt some people with my words. I didn't mean it that way. I said it for being concern on something else. Shortly, they hated what I said and asked me to be more polite.

I did apologize in their blog (by commenting there), in my own blog, and by e-mail.

They have accepted my apology by e-mail. Yet, before knowing that--as their reply went to spam box--I saw someone saying bad things about my daughter. ANONYMOUS person.

I thought it had something to do with what I said. It might have not been those persons that I accidentally hurt before. But, I made a comment again on their blog saying that I have forgiven whoever saying those bad things about my daughter.

Everything happening this weekend wouldn't have to happen if I watched my words better. I have to be more careful in saying things. I might not mean bad but others might see it differently.

This happened once before. I had a friend ho said something in my blog that hurt other people and I tried to be in between by explaining something. But, that friend thought that I offended her although it wasn't like that. Then, I apologized. But she preferred not to be my friend anymore. That was her right to do so.

At least, if I have hurt someone (or someone thought that I hurt them although I didn't mean it), I do apologize. I am not a coward.

In the blogging world, people can only see who you really are by words--and pictures you post. Well, written language sometimes offers too many meanings. And, you just have to be careful in expressing them.

Previously, the blog title was WideImagination. It was something I wished for to help me write. Seems like I've got it now in me.

But now, I'd like to turn this blog into the real me, who and what I really am, now. I am now a Write at Home Mom. I work as a writer, I do it at home, and I'm a mom. So, the new title: Write at Home Mom suits me best.

So far, I enjoy working at home. Yet, we never know what will happen in the future. I might be working at an office again, one day. Who knows? But, for now...I like being a Write at Home Mom! I can take Hana to school, can see her whenever I want, can be the first to hear her funny new words, can be the one to answer her hilarious questions. And, many other things.

Now, if you happen to see "Write at Home Mom" somewhere...that's me!

:D

Let's just admit it. Sometimes, we need an extra amount of sex days and days before our payday. At least I do. Sometimes, money becomes so tight yet there are lots of things to buy. This gives me headache. And well, it gets me stressed out too!

Luckily, sometimes, I can borrow some from my Mom or my brothers. But, you just can't do it all the time, can you?

Where else can you go for a little help? Not everybody can happily lend you money other than your family, right?

Well, actually, there are lots of cash advance and payday loans website to visit. You can get that little help you need and get you out of stress. However, you just don't know which gives you the best offer, right? You need more information on the products. Are they reliable? Would they give you as much benefit?

Before deciding to take a cash advance or payday loan, you need to make sure about every single thing they offer. This has to help you not cause you any other problems. You have to figure out which offer flexible payment options, which provides you with quick and easy process, and which have good reputations.

You have to choose one of the best ones only, remember that. You are looking for a help, not for another problem!

What could be better than an insurance portal where you can get all the tips and information? An insurance portal that covers most major lines of insurance?

I have been getting insurance proposals yet I haven't applied to any of them. It just feels annoying to have people come to you and offer things. I prefer to apply for one only when I need it.

That is why I believe that such an insurance online portal would make a great thing for me. I go look for the type of insurance I need, then apply myself without having anyone pushing me to get an insurance I might not really need.

What about you? What do you think about an insurance portal like http://www.ez-insuranceportal.com/, for example?

Some bloggers are addicted to traffic. They are curious about who is visiting their blog or have headache if nobody comes.

Well, now, they don't have to worry that much. Of all the many ways out there, they can choose one that is simple and able to help them make some money!

Isn't it fun?

What is it?

I'm happily revealing this to you: Buzzfuse!

If you're not only a blogger, but also a photographer or a musician, it's even more useful. You can market your blog as well as your photos and music! Let people out there know your work of art...let them enjoy it and appreciate it.

This is something you need if you wish to build your own online store. You can have all the help you need and all the tools required, such as the ecommerce software.

All you have to do is simply sign up here, get your shopping cart set up, get a domain name, and promote your store.

Oh yes, it is that easy.

And, why Ashop?

Why not? It gives the clients test drive / free trial, smart packages with interesting pricing, great features, free store design, live chat support tool, search engine friendly...and...it won the category award for “best technology in small business”!

Isn't it great?

I am building my online bookstore for the time being. I plan to turn it into a big and reliable online shop one day. I believe that I can use Ashop service should I be ready to run the business properly.

A reliable program is required if you wish to run a serious online business. It seems like many people are taking their online business not seriously. This needs to change. Online business is a big business as long as you handle it the right way.

There are many online businessmen and women who leave their job just because they get enough from their online business. It would be fun working from home and be the boss of your own.

Name it...Concert Tickets, Sports Tickets, Arts and Theatre Tickets, or other exclusive tickets. You have it there. At Viagogo.

I remember when I wanted to watch Diana Krall who came to my country back then when my hubby and I was boyfriend and girlfriend--it's funny saying it, isn't it? We were not fast enough in getting the tickets for the seats that we could afford. So, we had to miss it.

But, you don't have to experience the silliness we did. You have the right place to go to. Especially if you live in Europe.

Viagogo will give you all the details on the concerts, from the schedule to the ticket price.

It would make a lovely gift. Your wife or girlfriend would be excited to know that you have reserved tickets for her on Celine Dion's Concert next May. Or, Bon Jovi's next June.

And, your boyfriend would be definitely pleased if you reserved him his favorite Football league tickets.

For the concert, it would be a very sweet gift if your wedding anniversary is exactly on the D-day. It would be an unforgettable memory for the rest of your life and his/her life.

So, what's the waiting for? Get them now and enjoy lovely experiences with your loved one!

Yeah, I wonder where. I'm not that ready to apply for the Small Business Loans yet. However, if I were ready, I believe that AFS (Accommodative Financial Solutions) would make a great choice.

From what I learn at its website, AFS would be the one. Why?

It won't cost me any upfront fees, set up charges or hidden amount owing. Just perfect for such Small Business Loans.

With AFS, your loans are being processed quite quickly. You might even see the result of your loan application within 24 hours--as long as you meet the lender's requirements.

What can you do with the Small Business Loans anyway?

There are many things--the useful ones of course. Such as to start a SOHO (Small Office Home Office) by turning one of the rooms in your house into a small office. Or, if you have already run a small business, the money can be used for an expansion--such as to get another set of computer or tractor, to hire a staff, or simply add it to your capital.

The best thing about this loan is that you don't have to repay it very soon. You may enjoy loan terms from 24-84 months.

Yet, I suggest that you be careful about it and use it only for your company's development or expansion.

Tell me, what have you been getting and what have you been giving for Valentine's Day? And, what is your favorite gift ever?

Mine would be valentine gift baskets with lovely decorations. But do men really care about those details? No, they don't. I have to admit. So, what should we do to get the valentines day gift baskets that we have been dreaming of?

No, don't tell them that we want the lovely designed st valentines day gift baskets. It's not that they won't get us. They will. But, won't you love it if the gift comes from their heart?

How to do that?

It's a tricky stuff. When you go out together to some shopping centers or any stores, just stand long enough in front of those kinds of gifts. Long enough to make them notice the cute stuff. Or, if you're with him at home or in some internet cafes, browse sites that show valentine gift baskets. Not only once. You have to do it several times before.

It is better for you to do it now. I mean, 3 weeks before the pinky day would be perfect.

Oops...you're a man? Reading this? Well, isn't it great? You don't need to have your girlfriend or wife to do any of the things above. You can simply order those valentines day gift baskets now and be the most romantic man ever in the special Valentine's Day. It is ok great if you bring along some flowers. Perfect!

About 6 years ago, I was single. I had no boyfriend. Yet, I knew that it was time for me to get one--I had finished my study and had been working for quite some time. But, men that my friends proposed to me were either beyond my reach or didn't fit my standard.

So, I thought I wasn't the kind of person who can use the help of a matchmaker. I decided to find the man myself. I was used to the internet and had been using a program that could help me find new friends. And, I tried to look for the one that I would be spending my whole life with there.

And, I found it. And, we've been married for 4,5 years.

It is not always 'dangerous' or heartbreaking finding a soul mate on the net. I did it quite successfully. So can you.

Now, the technology is even better. Not only can you use your pc but also your cell phone to get the right man to love you. Crush or Flush seems to be one your helpers.

There you can meet new people, get to know them better and select those that meet your standards, and finally choose one.

Don't hold on into your fear. Just try to get to know the system and decide whether it fits you or not. Well, at least, you've tried. Don't just sit there waiting. Even love requires some efforts.

I would smile all day if I get the chance to save lots of my money. Imagine...you are dying to try a product of this specific brand yet you don't know whether it suits you or not. And, the price might be quite high if you simply want it for a try. So, you just leave it behind, not knowing whether it does well on you or not--especially beauty products or makeups.

And, know what? You have just missed an opportunity to have a prettier face! What a loss!

I have the solution. A solution that YOU would love so much. It's not only about your beauty...but also every other thing in your house.

Who wants Free Stuff? I bet everyone is raising a hand.

And, now...what about Free Online Coupons? Or...better...Printable Grocery Coupons?

Oh yeah, you definitely can SAVE A LOT with those free stuff and coupons! No need to worry about the bill. No need to have headaches while choosing stuff in the grocery store.

Everything is there for you for free.

All you have to do is simply Signing up to become a member of the MySavings community. No need to frown. No, you are NOT obliged to PAY. Not a dime. Nothing.

Just be one of those thousands of new members who have the opportunity to receive free grocery coupons and product samples which are updated daily.

And, do you know what? This is not only for your own benefits. Have you seen a lady in the Oprah Show who managed to help her community with all the coupons and free samples that she collected? Don't you feel like helping others the way she did?

If you can lend a hand, why don't you do it? And, better, you don't have to spend lots of money to do so. All you need is getting yourself registered and get the coupons! And, the next thing you know...you help others--if you can't help others, at least you can help yourself.

I work at home. Yet, I have my own working space. It contains a desk, an office chair, a laptop and a calendar. I insisted to my husband that an office chair is obligatory.

Why?

Office chairs are designed for comfort. You sit there all day long, work hard--on writings, numbers, reports, etc--and you won't feel tired at all.

That is why I need one. I have tried with ordinary chairs and I felt uncomfortable at all and couldn't finish any of my tasks.

What about real offices? Of course, they need real office furniture! Comfortable ones so that the employers finish the job with ease and don't feel grumpy over an uncomfortable chair!

The ones I love most is the leather computer chairs. I used to work as a secretary and know what? When my boss wasn't around, I tried his comfy leather office chair. And, it felt soooo good it took me minutes to get out of it.

They might cost a lot. But not always. There are some credible manufacturers that offer affordable prices. Inter County is one of them. It offers some with an 8-year guarantee and high-quality. Yet, the price is reasonable and you can order online.

So, whether it is for your office or your SOHO, get one (or some) for it might influence your business future!

I was amazed when I found Furniture from Home. There I saw how I wanted my house to look like. The sofa, the bed, everything. They just look perfect.

And, it seems like the owner knows how to create a great website. The design is not complicated, yet it covers everything people like me--potential buyers--wish to see.

I happen to have this pretty bed queen size my husband and I bought for our wedding bedroom about four and a half years ago. And, it might be the best time to get a king size one since we seem to enlarge after this almost 5 years of marriage. The Dark Wood Sleigh Bed would look great in my bedroom!

And, the Youth Painted Doll House Bed...I bet my daughter would love it more than anything!

Now, tell me, what do you have in mind when you see the above picture of the Creamy Corduroy Couch Love Seat And Accent Chair Furniture Sets? Don't you just love it? I imagine myself having a great time with the whole family there.

It's always nice to redecorate your home. And, Furniture from Home will surely be able to help you through the wonderful journey of redecorating...and turning your home into an endless beauty as they also provide you with useful tips!
