Blogging Is For Sharing And Caring

When I first knew about blogging, I thought I should write a full story of my life. Then I thought I should write all of my thoughts. After a years, I know that my orientation about blogging was changed!

Blogging is about keeping my working portfolio. I become a blogger since 2009, and now when I read my old posts, they make an "aha" moment. From the old posts I know when I mastering certain knowledge and how I learned.

My baby photos, wedding photos, and some old photos of my parent, my house, my pets with stories that explained, that I put on my blog several years ago, kept my eyes wet when I read them! I kind of a woman that easily cry when something from my memories recalled. And that feeling is beautiful, I like to memorizing my past, that's why I like to become a blogger.

10 Things You Should Know If Homeschool In Indonesia

I’ve been eleven years homeschooling, and I never live in other country. So here are my experience, I want to share with other homeschool fellow, to let you know about how we, Indonesian homeschool family, live in our days of learning.

My son in his scouting activity

1. Your neighbour and family will continue asking about your child socialization

Even if you already told them, they won’t believe in you, until your child have his good friends playing at your house.

2. You should have your own library, most of all libraries will ask about your child’s school student ID when apply membership.

And as a homeschool child, they do not have school ID, and therefore can’t apply for library membership.

Levemir VS Lantus, The Effects On My Diabetic

Yesterday i was so disappointed with the fact that my effort and pain at the whole month was useless. It is about my blood glucose that is getting higher than last month. Before March, my doctor prescribed Lantus Solostar as my diabetic treatment. I injected every night, 12 units. And my test showed result about 160-190 mg/dL, that was good, I used to be 400 mg/dL before insulin treatment.

On March, I got Levemir as replacement of Lantus, my doctor said that Lantus is out of stock. OK, I thought they are just the same. If certain brand medicine is out of stock, doctor will prescribe the replacement that have the same effect. So I injected my Levemir the whole March. And guess what I got on April test? My blood sugar was 322 mg/dL! I was very shocked!
