Halo para pemirsa blog sekalian (kayak ada aja yg baca blog ini :D)..

Maklumin ya,, blog ini sepiiii banget,, berhubung salah satu yang empunya sibuk travel,, huehehehe.. Pulang travel panjang,, eh sakit,, jadi lah belum sempet2 ngapdet2.. (alessssaaan deh)..

Ceritanya begini,, misoaku ditinggal selama 4 bulan,, karena istri dan anaknya melanglang buana keliling dunia,, asli dah bener2 ngitarin bola dunia,, sampe puyeng yeng yeeeeng..  mulai dari Amrik ke Indo lewat pantai barat, dari Indo ke Eropa ke arah barat juga,, dan dari Eropa balik ke Amrik juga ke arah barat,, ngeeeeng ngeeeng ngeeeng (loh,, kok kayak maen mobil2an yak hehehe)..

Dimulai dari awal Juli 2008,, dari Houston-LA-Taipei-Jakarta,, total perjalanan 36 jam (sajah!!!),, dan berdua dengan Amira (sajah!!) dan bagasi hanya 100 pounds plus satu carry on (sajah!!).. Coba dibayangkan sodara2.. betapa badan ini rasanya diremuk2,,  Tapi alhamdulillah suami tersayang sudah memesan hotel di Jakarta, jadi nyampe Jakarta langsung bleg,, eh gak ding,, Amira gitu nyampe kamar hotel langsung bouncing2 di tpt tidur,, kasian,, abis selama di perjalanan gak bisa maen2,, sempit di pesawat terus.. Yang dari Houston ke LA sih alhamdulillah ok ok aja,, cuman 3 jam.. yang dari LA-Taipei juga,, walaupun (cuman) 13 jam,, tapi karena take offnya jam 1 malem,, jadi Amiranya kebanyakan tidur di pesawat.. Naaaah,, yang dari Taipei ke Jakarta dooooooongg.. take offnya jam 8 pagi waktu Taipei,, dan Amira udah kenyang tidur,, jadilah dia minta maen,, sementara pesawat rada penuh,, dia gak mau makan, gak mau digendong, gak mau tidur, gak mau ngapa2in,, mau keluar dari pesawat coba,, Naak,, emang mak mu ini The Incridible atau Superwoman?

Yah itu baru cerita sebagian dari perjalanan paaaaaanjang kami berdua,, ntar deh kalo sempet ditulis cerita2 Amira selama di Indo,, Yang jelas,, kami alhamdulilah sudah berkumpul lagi bertiga.. dan hmm ya.. ada update2 terbaru setelah ini..

Ok deh,, stay tune yaaaa..

Amira hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days. It happened after we brought her to a park at Clear Lake. I think it might have something to do with those birds that were flying around. That and the cold weather.

Almy is still amazed by how the health system works here in the US. She is baffled about why we still need to make copayments even after paying really expensive insurance premiums. In Germany, when you have health insurance, 99% of the time you’re not paying anything. I personally think it’s going to get worse in the US, especially with the recession tightening its grip on everybody (Milk is 4 dollars a gallon now?!?!?)

So I finally jumped on the bandwagon and picked a Blackberry. Here are some straightforward benefits from having one:

-I’m able to take notes at work (or when shopping at walmart) quickly, without needing a pen or paper

-My tasks and calendar are nicely setup and prioritized

-Every so often I sync the calendar, notes and contacts up with Outlook at home so I can further organize my work life at home.

-I’m able to use facebook, IM and twitter anytime, anywhere.

-GPS + GoogleMaps + Blackberry = no need to ask for directions anymore.

Things I don’t like:

-I can’t believe you can’t sync data using Bluetooth — same goes to YOU, IPhone !

-I haven’t been able to find a mobile Quran that works on the BBerry — unbelievable!
I wonder how these smartphones have transformed other people’s lives?
