…Phoenix is breaking another tooth

Other news from Phoenix is she is breaking another tooth.

Now, it’s the molar’s turn which is located at the left rear above.

Thanks God, everytime she is breaking her teeth, she never gets fever.

So it is the ninth tooth now.

…Phoenix eats chili!

6 days ago was another historical milestone for Phoenix. She started to add chili to her meal and she finished her meal quicker than the usual. Wooowwww…

So this is the complete story. One day, I ate my own fried rice. A bit spicy. Then Phoenix insisted to try it. I gave her and she liked it. Her eyes were blinking as it was spicy but she kept chewing and swallowing the rice.

So then, I made some spices for her. With chili, tomato and a bit sugar, fried on an extra light olive oil. I put it on her meal which was meat soup. And tadaaaaaa…. She finished her meal so quick!

Wonderful!

...It's all about Phoenix

Continuing my story about Phoenix.

Phoenix is almost 17 months now. Currently, we live in Siantar, together with Daddy who has been here for more than a year ;(

When Phoenix was 14 months, I decided to resign from the company. The reason was simply because of Phoenix. I want to put Phoenix as my priority before I missed her golden age period.

For the purpose of keeping all of the records that may become history here *so Phoenix can also read this someday* *halahh*, I copied and pasted my resignation proposal here:

…..

***censored***

.....

So again, with the nature of the work I had, it is difficult to prioritize Phoenix, meanwhile I have a very huge dream on what I want to invest on her early life. I believe that –as my sister said in her blog- baby is just like a white paper. We can draw whatever we want on them and that’s how they will be. If you show them smile, they will smile. If you show them anger, they will also do the same. So for me, it’s just like an investment for someone’s life.

Hopefully, whatever she will be in the future, will not be something that we –as the parent- will regret of. We can never turn back times. It will be so pity if we look back behind and say that I wish bla bla bla. So decision should be made as soon as possible, just before I regret it.

But seeing from my own selfish perspective, don’t ask me how hard I was making this decision. Considering the career, the position that I had so far, the title, especially the salary *winkwink*, believe me, it was so tough. Acting as a working mother, in the high position with the big salary is such a self accomplishment. And that’s what every mother’s dream, I believe.

But again, life is about a choice. Everyone has their own unique circumstances. So decision should be made without comparing it to others. Agree?

...I'm back!

Just visiting my own blog and realize that I’ve been hiatus for more than a year.. Whatttt?!?!

The last post was in 2010. I really didn’t realize this. Sorry blogy.. I was too busy for my new little thing, the Little Phoenix ;)

So let’s start it again!

Back to the early year of 2011, on Wed, 19 Jan 2011, I was giving a birth for a cute baby girl, named Phoenix Ileana Adhitya.

She was born at RS. Asri at Jalan Duren Tiga, Jaksel. We chose this hospital because when I moved from Aek Kanopan, I really confused on which doctor I should go to. Choosing a doctor who will help you giving a birth is almost like choosing a husband *hyperbolic ;p*. I have several considerations for the doctor to be chosen. First, I prefer a male. Why? Because female tends to be arrogant and cruel. For me, there is also a logic behind that circumstance. Female usually has ever gone to give a birth, she can do it so that if it is hurt, she will easily say that it is common, don’t be too ‘cengeng’, etc, etc. if it is a male, he will usually be more careful, speak politely, communicate nicely if something is going to be hurt, etc, etc.

Second, he really needs to be communicative and it should be comfort to talk to him. He doesn’t talk in rush as if he gets too many patients outside and he wants to finish it soon, he shows patience when he listen to any explanation, etc.

Third, the hospital should be reachable for a single parent like me ;) since the husband is 1,000+ km away from Jakarta and cannot accompany me all the time I need to do routine check up.

Now, about the name.

Phoenix is the name of a bird from the Greek myth. Or in Indian, it is known as Garuda. But since she is a girl and we cannot name her Garudi *winkwink*, so we named her Phoenix. We picked this name not because at that time Garuda song was sung everywhere *Garuda di dadaku, Garuda kebanggaanku* *LOL*, but more because the meaning of the name.

Taken from Wikipedia, Phoenix is:

‘The phoenix, or phenix (Greek: Φοίνιξ Greek pronunciation: [ˈfiniks], Persian: ققنوس, Arabic: العنقاء أو طائر الفينيق, Chinese: 鳳凰 or 不死鳥,Hebrew: פניקס), is a mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Arabian, Persians, Greeks, Romans,Egyptians, Chinese, Indians and (according to Sanchuniathon) Phoenicians.

It is described as a bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends^[which?]). It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (literally "sun-city" in Greek). It is said that the bird's cry is that of a beautiful song. The Phoenix's ability to be reborn from its own ashes implies that it is immortal, though in some stories the new Phoenix is merely the offspring of the older one. In very few stories they are able to change into people.’

Ileana is taken from Greek/Romanian name. It means the brightest one, the shining one. We want her to be bright, to shine in her life.

Adhitya is her daddy’s name. Daddy really wants to start his clan, his family name. And it will be started from Phoenix ;)

Ups, Phoenix wake up already.

Need to attend her call now!!
