Being 28 in pics

Semakin dekat dengan the big 3-0, mari embrace my final years of being in my 20s.

Hari ini diawali dengan ingin menjadikan hari ini lebih produktif dibandingkan dengan hari-hari Minggu biasanya. Haha. Bangun jam 8-an pagi, lalu jam 9 pergi ke Borma Dago untuk belanja Maizena pesenan mama. Seperti biasa selalu tertarik untuk beli hal-hal baru, dan tadi nemu Yakult warna biru less sugar, jadi aku beli deh. Nggak lupa beli bleach Miranda yang ingin aku pake untuk memutihkan kembali sol-sol sepatuku yang sudah mulai menguning. Karena 30ml ternyata banyak banget jadilah sekalian aja nge-bleach 4 sepatu. Hasilnya tidak mengecewakan hehe:

Jam 12 siang berangkat ke Siliwangi untuk jemput aki-nini, lalu kami berlima (aku, mama, bapa, aki, nini) pergi ke PvJ untuk makan di Justus. Leika udah mulai kerja di Jakarta dan Arka seperti biasa lagi melanglangbuana. Makan tenderloin steak entree yang kok kayaknya agak mengecil. Tapi tetap enak. White mushroom sauce + balsamic salad + wedges will never go wrong:

Terus dari PvJ minta mampir dulu ke Periplus Setiabud karena biar sekalian aja - mumpung ulang tahun lagi ada diskon 15% dan minta mama beliin buku aja untuk kado:

Milih bukunya juga agak yaudah bismillah wg - semoga seru deh. Ingin jadi kembali lebih rajin membaca seperti diriku yang dulu. Huhu. Makin tua entah kenapa attention span makin buruk dan makin susah ngeberesin baca buku :< Ini Crying at H Mart sama Quran versi translasi-nya Oxford aja gak beres-beres aku baca. Terus karena kemarin abis nonton video-nya Joram van Kleveren, aku minta minjem buku Muhammad-nya Martin Lings sama Karen Armstrong supaya bisa aku baca sekalian.

Abis itu pas nyampe lagi di rumah akhirnya aku nge-dye atasanku yang warna putih nya putih banget udah kayak baju seragam sekolah. Gak suka. Nonton video youtube aja how to dye clothes with tea leaves. Hasil before afternya kayak gini, pasti luntur sih tapi semoga nanti akan berakhir menjadi warna broken white yang cakep:

Abis nulis ini mau ngecat rambut sama beresin The Nakano Thrift Shop - baru beres seperlima jadi belum tau akan seru atau ngga, tapi lumayan lah a break from Murakami’s weird (but somehow comforting) plot.

Makin tua makin mencari contentment aja di hal-hal kecil yang mundane. Today was perfect.

Vika #1

Virku dagarnir eru flestir mjög svipaðir hjá mér til að byrja með. Ég og Alfreð erum með krökkunum heima. Borðum saman kvöldmat og síðan fer ég inn í herbergi til að gera það sem eg þarf og langar til að gera eins og horfa á þætti eða myndir, skrifa niður fyrir bloggið, lesa bók eða annað.

Mánudagur 7. Janúar 2019. Dagur 1 í Svíþjóð.

Stillti vekjaraklkkuna mína á 08:00 og fór svo á fætur stuttu eftir það. Við Alfreð vorum heima með krakkana saman í dag og verðum með þau þessa vikuna og mánudaginn næstu viku því leikskólinn byrjar ekki fyrr en á þriðjudaginn. Alfreð eldaði hafragraut fyrir okkur og eftir morgunmatinn fór ég í sturtu. Fram að hádesgismat vorum við að perla, klippa, lita og fleira. Í hadegismat fengum við egg og ristað brauð. Eftir matinn klæddum við okkur í útiföt og fórum í göngutúr út á róló, lékum okkur í fótbolta og svo út í búð. Þegar við komum heim fengu krakkarnir heitt kakó og við Alfreð kaffi. Síðan bjuggum við krakkarnir til origami skjaldböku og froska. Krakkarnir voru rosa ágægð með froskana sína og voru að keppast um hver hoppaði lengst og hæðst. Síðan var horft á bíómynd, myndin var um litlar stuttmyndir með bílnum Krók úr Cars. Krakkarnir og ég lékum okkur saman fram að mat og í matinn í dag var fiskur og hrísgrjón. Ég kláraði að koma mér fyrir og ákvað að slaka aðeins á eftir daginn og horfa á friends þangað til ég varð þreytt og fór að sofa. Þriðjudagur 8. Jaúar 2019 Dagur 2 í Svíþjóð.

Vaknaði 08:00 og stuttu eftir það kom Kristján inn til mín og lagðist hjá mér í rúmið. Við láum þar og spjölluðum aðeins saman áður en við fórum á fætur. Krakkarnir borða morgunmat, ekki ég þar sem ég er að reyna að fara aftur í sömu rútínu og fyrir jól. Eftir morgunmatin var farið í föt, burstað þennur og leikið inni. Alfreð var að vinni aðeins í dag þannig ég var meira ein með krakkana. Í hádegismat fengu krakkarnir núðlur en ég fekk mér egg og brauð. Ég fór svo út á róló og í göngutúr með krakkana eftir matinn. Við spiluðum smá fótbolta og bjuggum til nokkra sandkastala. Þegar við komum til baka heim fengu við okkur restina af núðlunum og brauð með banana. Krakkarnir perluðu aðeins og lituðu. Við horfðum síðan öll á mynd saman áður en kvöldmaturinn var tilbúinn. Alfreð eldað fyrir okkur tortillur með hakki og grænmeti. Ég fór svo eftir mat inn í herbergi að setja upp yfirlit yfir árið 2019 í bullet dagbókina mína, þar sem eg var ekki búin að því. Edda Karen hringdi í mig á meðan ég var að því og við sjöllum aðeins saman í gegnum video chat a Facebook. Ég endaði daginn á að spila Ticket To Ride með Hönnu.

Miðvikudagur 9. Janúar 2019. Dagur 3 í Svíþjóð.

Vaknaði 06:00 í morgun við vekjaraklukku sem var að hringja frammi og svo stuttu seinna þá vöknuðu stelpurnar. Ég var upp í rúmi hálf vakandi til half 8 og fór þá fram úr. Dagurinn var voða svipaður hinum dögunum, borðuðum lasagne í hádegismat og eftir hann fórum við í göngutúr á leikvöll sem heitir Justin Beaver og eftir það kíktum við á bókasafnið í smá og út í búð. Tókum svo strætó til baka heim. Við lékum okkur aðeins og svo var komið að kvöldmat, það var kjúklingur með hrísgrjónum og kasjúhnetum. Ég eyddi restini af kvöldinu á netflix og fór snemma að sofa.

Fimmtudagur 10. Janúar 2019. Dagur 4 í Svíþjóð.

Sama morgun rútína og hina dagana. Um morguninn voru -6 gráður úti og nánast alveg fram að hádegi. Í hádegismat fengum við egg og beikon og eftir matinn lékum við okkur inni en fórum síðan út þegar það var aðeins farið að hlýna. Alfreð þurfti líka að vinna aðeins þannig það hentaði vel. Alfreð kom síðan út til okkar þegar hann var búinn. Þegar við vorum búin að vera dálítið úti fórum við inn og fengum mjög góða súkkulaðiköku sem Alfreð bjó til. Þetta var svona ‘‘hollustu‘‘ kaka þar sem hún var úr sætrikartöflu, banana, súkkulaði og einhverju fleira ekkert hveiti í henni né hvítur sykur. Krakkarnir fengu síðan að horfa smá á sjónvarpið áður en maturinn kæmi. Í kvöldmatinn var burger og eftir matinn fór ég að skrifa smá innkaupalista fyrir nýja húsið og horfði síðan á netflix áður en ég fór að sofa.

Föstudagur 11. Janúar 2019. Dagur 5 í Svíþjóð.

Vaknaði 07:30 í morgun. Kristján og Birta voru enn upp í rúmi og Katrín var sofandi. Morgunrútinan var sú sama nema Alfreð fór með Katrínu til tannlæknis kl 10 á meðan vorum við hin heima. Við spiluðum mastermind og svo fengu krakkarnir að velja sitthvorn þáttinn á Netflix. Við borðuðum hádegismat þegar Alfreð og Katrín komu frá tannlækninum. Leikum okkur aðeins inni og fórum svo út að leika. Krakkarnir hittu stelpu úti á róló sem var á sama aldri og Birta og voru að leika við hana þangað til við fórum heim. Þegar heim var komið var litað, perlað og leikið fram að kvöldmat. Alfreð bjó til blókmálsbotns pizzu, mig hefur alltaf langað til að smakka þannig og það var eins gott og ég hafði ímyndað mér. Hanna kom heim þegar við vorum rétt að klára að borða. Við horfðum öll saman á mynd eftir matinn. Myndin sem varð fyrir valinu var Gerge Of The Jungle.

Laugardagur 12. Janúar 2019. Dagur 6 í Svíþjóð.

Ég ákvað að nýta daginn að labba um og skoða bæinn aðeins. Vaknaði kl 9:00 og fór á fætur ca 9:20. Burstaði tennurnar, klæddi mig í föt og málaði mig. Þegar ég var tilbúin fór ég af stað niður í bæ. Það tók mig um 30 mínútur að labba í Allum shopping center hér í Partille. Ég labbaði þar um og fór inn í nokkrar búðir, fékk mér svo að borða kjklingaborgara á MAX. Hélt svo áfram að rölta um mollið og endaði að fara i ICA maxi sem er risastór matvörubúð. Ég keypti mér ekkert sérstakt þar aðallega nammi og drykki. Ég varð fyrir smá vonbrigðum af nammibarnum þar sem það var ekki mikið úrval af súkkulaði þar og þeir sem þekkja mig vita að ég elska gott súkkulaði. Mig langar ótrúlega mikið í djúpur at the moment og get ekki hætt að hugsa um þær. Ég keypti líka nokkra nocco og hér úti eru til fleiri tegundir heldur en út í búð heima eins og t.d. vatnsmelónu, hann er einn af mínum uppáhalds. Benjamin hringdi í mig meðan ég var í ICA og við töluðum saman í smá tíma. Eftir það fór ég að borga og hélt leið minni út á bókasafn þar sem Hanna og Alfreð voru með krakkana. Ég ákvað að fara heim með pokana og slaka aðeins á eftir daginn og svo var ég líka með verki í bakinu. Ég fékk lyklana hjá þeim og tók strætó til baka. Kom heim gekk frá dótinu sem ég var að kaupa og fór að horfa á How I Met Your Mother og éta nammi. Ég sofnaði í smá og þegar ég vaknaði var alveg að koma matur. Við fengum fisk í kvöldmatinn og fullt af ávöxtum og grænmeti. Eftir matinn spiluðum við nokkur spil áður en krakkarnir fóru upp í rúm. Ég fór svo inn í herbergi að horfa á H.I.M.Y.M.

Sunnudagur 13.janúar 2019. Dagur 7 í Svíþjóð.

Í dag vaknaði ég 09:00 en fór ekki á fætur fyrr en 10:00, fór í sturtu og fékk mér svo egg og beikon í morgunmat sem Alfreð gerði. Eftir matinn bjó ég til janúarmánuð í bullet journal bókina mína (betra er seint en aldrei). Krakkarnir voru að mála og lita á meðan. Ákveðið var að fara í bíó í dag að sjá Mary Poppins, við gerðum okkur til og röltum siðan af stað í strætóskýlið. Tókum strætó áleiðis og síðan sporvagn eftir það. Þegar við komum í bíóið keyptum við okkur popp, gos og nammi og fórum síðan inní sal. Eftir myndina borðuðum við á veitingastað sem var í sama húsi og bíóið. Ég fékk með pasta með spínati og týgrisrækjum, Hanna hamborgara, Alfreð steik og krakkarnir spaghetti. Maturinn smakkaðist bara nokkuð vel og allir sáttir. Það hefði samt mátt vera sósa með mínu pasta frekar en einhver sítrónu chili olía, ég vil hafa sósu með öllu þar sem ég elska sósu og sérstaklega elska ég hvítlaukssósuna frá Shake and Pizza. Mamma þekkir það vel, nota sósuna með gjörsamlega öllu þegar ég er heima, hahah. Við héldum síðan heim á leið eftir matinn og vorum komin heim rétt um 20:00. Þá fór ég inn í herbergi og skrifaði vikubloggið og ég ætla síðan að enda daginn á að horfa á nokkra þætti eða mynd á Netflix það er nefnilega fullt af skemmtilegu inná Sænska Netflix sem er ekki heima.

Ég segi þetta gott þessa vikuna, takk fyrir mig og góða nótt. Ást og friður xx

Rescuers search for survivors after Japan floods kill at least 126

KURASHIKI, Japan (Reuters) – Rescuers in western Japan dug through mud and rubble early on Tuesday, racing to find survivors after torrential rain that began last week unleashed floods and landslides that killed up to 130 people, with dozens missing.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe canceled an overseas trip to deal with Japan’s worst flood disaster since 1982, with several million people forced from their homes.

Officials said the overall economic impact was not clear.

Rain tapered off across the western region on Monday to reveal blue skies and a scorching sun that pushed temperatures well above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), fuelling fears of heat-stroke in areas cut off from power or water.

“We cannot take baths, the toilet doesn’t work and our food stockpile is running low,” said Yumeko Matsui, whose home in the city of Mihara, in Hiroshima prefecture, has been without water since Saturday.

“Bottled water and bottled tea are all gone from convenience stores and other shops,” the 23-year-old nursery school worker said at an emergency water supply station.

Some 11,200 households had no electricity, power companies said on Monday, while hundreds of thousands had no water.

According to NHK public television, the death toll stood at 126 by Tuesday morning, with another six people in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest – a term Japanese authorities often use to describe those who have not been officially pronounced dead by a doctor. It said 63 were missing.

While persistent rain had ended, officials warned of sudden showers and thunderstorms as well as more landslides on steep mountainsides saturated over the weekend.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Abe had canceled his trip to Belgium, France, Saudi Arabia and Egypt because of the disaster. He had been due to leave on Wednesday.

Industry operations have also been hit, with Mazda Motor Corp saying it was forced to close its head office in Hiroshima on Monday.

The automaker, which suspended operations at several plants last week, said the halt would continue at two plants until Tuesday because it could not receive components, although both units were undamaged.

Daihatsu, which suspended production on Friday at up to four plants, said it would run the second evening shift on Monday.

Electronics maker Panasonic said operations at one plant remained suspended after the first floor was flooded.

GRIM RECOVERY

Refineries and oil terminals were not affected but blockages in roads leading to one Showa Shell oil terminal in Hiroshima caused gas and diesel shortages nearby.

Shares in some companies fell but losses were modest, with Mazda even gaining as investors bet damage was limited.

“If the rainfall affects supply chains, there will be selling of the affected stocks,” said Norihiro Fujito, chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.

“Otherwise, the impact will be limited.”

Elsewhere, people soldiered on with the grim recovery task.

The floodwaters slowly receded in Kurashiki city’s Mabi district, one of the hardest hit areas, leaving a thick coat of brown mud and cars turned over or half-submerged, as residents returned to tackle the mess.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this is my life, and I’ve lived for more than 70 years,” said Hitoko Asano, 71.

“The washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, PC – they’re all destroyed,” she said as she cleaned her two-story house.

“Clothes in the drawers were all damaged by muddy water, we won’t even bother to wash them. I can’t help wondering how much it’ll cost to repair this.”

At one landslide in Hiroshima, shattered piles of lumber marked the sites of former homes, television images showed. Other homes had been tossed upside down.

Although evacuation orders were scaled back sharply from the weekend, some 1.7 million people still face orders or advice to keep away from homes, fire and disaster officials said.

The economic impact was being assessed.

“I’m worried there could be a significant impact on production, consumption and tourism,” Toshiro Miyashita, Bank of Japan’s Fukuoka branch manager, who oversees the Kyushu region, told a news conference.

Japan monitors weather conditions and issues warnings early, but its dense population means every bit of usable land is built on in the mostly mountainous country, leaving it prone to disasters.

Japan monitors weather conditions and issues warnings early, but its dense population means every bit of usable land is built on in the mostly mountainous country, leaving it prone to disasters.

Rescuers search for survivors after Japan floods kill at least 126

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe canceled an overseas trip to deal with Japan’s worst flood disaster since 1982, with several million people forced from their homes.

Officials said the overall economic impact was not clear.

“Bottled water and bottled tea are all gone from convenience stores and other shops,” the 23-year-old nursery school worker said at an emergency water supply station.

Some 11,200 households had no electricity, power companies said on Monday, while hundreds of thousands had no water.

While persistent rain had ended, officials warned of sudden showers and thunderstorms as well as more landslides on steep mountainsides saturated over the weekend.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Abe had canceled his trip to Belgium, France, Saudi Arabia and Egypt because of the disaster. He had been due to leave on Wednesday.

Industry operations have also been hit, with Mazda Motor Corp saying it was forced to close its head office in Hiroshima on Monday.

Daihatsu, which suspended production on Friday at up to four plants, said it would run the second evening shift on Monday.

Electronics maker Panasonic said operations at one plant remained suspended after the first floor was flooded.

GRIM RECOVERY

Refineries and oil terminals were not affected but blockages in roads leading to one Showa Shell oil terminal in Hiroshima caused gas and diesel shortages nearby.

Shares in some companies fell but losses were modest, with Mazda even gaining as investors bet damage was limited.

“If the rainfall affects supply chains, there will be selling of the affected stocks,” said Norihiro Fujito, chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.

“Otherwise, the impact will be limited.”

Elsewhere, people soldiered on with the grim recovery task.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this is my life, and I’ve lived for more than 70 years,” said Hitoko Asano, 71.

“The washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, PC – they’re all destroyed,” she said as she cleaned her two-story house.

“Clothes in the drawers were all damaged by muddy water, we won’t even bother to wash them. I can’t help wondering how much it’ll cost to repair this.”

At one landslide in Hiroshima, shattered piles of lumber marked the sites of former homes, television images showed. Other homes had been tossed upside down.

Although evacuation orders were scaled back sharply from the weekend, some 1.7 million people still face orders or advice to keep away from homes, fire and disaster officials said.

Rescuers race to find survivors after Japan floods kill at least 114

KURASHIKI, Japan (Reuters) – Rescuers in Japan dug through mud and rubble on Monday, racing to find survivors after torrential rain unleashed floods and landslides that killed at least 114 people, with dozens missing.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe canceled an overseas trip to deal with Japan’s worst flood disaster since 1983, with several million people forced from their homes.

Officials said the overall economic impact was not clear.

Rain tapered off across the western region on Monday to reveal blue skies and a scorching sun that pushed temperatures well above 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit), fuelling fears of heat-stroke in areas cut off from power or water.

“Bottled water and bottled tea are all gone from convenience stores and other shops,” the 23-year-old nursery school worker said at an emergency water supply station.

Some 11,200 households had no electricity, power companies said on Monday, while hundreds of thousands had no water.

The death toll reached at least 114, NHK public television said, with 61 people missing.

Though the persistent rain had ended, officials warned of sudden showers and thunderstorms as well as of more landslides on steep mountainsides saturated over the weekend.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Prime Minister Abe had canceled his trip to Belgium, France, Saudi Arabia and Egypt because of the disaster. He had been due to leave on Wednesday.

Industry operations have also been hit, with Mazda Motor Corp saying it was forced to close its head office in Hiroshima on Monday.

“I’m worried there could be a significant impact on production, consumption and tourism,” Toshiro Miyashita, Bank of Japan’s Fukuoka branch manager, who oversees Kyushu region, told a news conference.

Low world inflation dogs central bankers, even as economies grow

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. (Reuters) – The world’s top central bankers gather in Jackson Hole, their confidence bolstered by a sustained return to economic growth that may eventually allow the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan to follow the Federal Reserve in winding down their crisis-era policies.

Yet in one key area, none of the world’s central banks has found the answer. Inflation remains well below their two percent targets, stoking a debate about whether they are missing signals of a less than healthy economy and the need for a slower path of “rate normalization”, or that they simply don’t understand how inflation works in a globalized world.

In Japan, officials have researched behavioral causes, wondering whether businesses and families are just slower to react to economic signals than thought. European officials have blamed slow-moving union wage contracts and online shopping, while U.S. policymakers have cited a lengthy sequence of “one-offs” in pricing from oil to cellphones to prescription drugs.

In each case the response of policymakers has been the same: wait it out and talk confidently about inflation’s return, as the Fed has put it since 2013, over “the medium term”.

“Yes, our models aren’t perfect… Certainly the fact that we have had some low inflation readings is something that we take very seriously,” said Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester.

Yet Mester is convinced the problem is not a weakening economy, but changes in how businesses set prices – a supply side issue she says leaves her comfortable pressing ahead with slow but steady interest rate increases.

Not everyone is convinced by Mester’s approach. Concerns over the significance of a recent slide in inflation have renewed questions about whether a global tightening of monetary policy can proceed, with U.S. investors betting the Fed will have to hold off on more rate changes until later next year.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen will have a chance to address the issue on Friday, as does European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who is laying plans to scale back some of the bank’s crisis-era programs even as expected progress on inflation has receded into 2018 and 2019.

The Bank of Japan’s horizon for meeting its inflation target is around 2020.

Fed officials have not yet caved on inflation even though pricing in financial markets has shifted expectations of the next rate hike back to the middle of 2018 versus Fed forecasts of another increase this year.

“But the debate has grown more active of late and uncertainty is elevated,” TD Securities said of the outlook for inflation in a report ahead of Jackson Hole. “The risks are for a slower pace.”

WHAT TARGET?

The use of inflation targeting has been an important innovation in central banking, rooted in theories of how public expectations, central bank communication and other factors shape economic behavior. It was a recognition that how policymakers talked about inflation, and what households believed, would in part determine the outcome.

But the developed world’s alignment around a two percent target has become a headache as much as a policy guide, with central banks trying to estimate and regulate something they acknowledge they don’t fully understand.

Bank of Japan consultants have puzzled over whether people shop and save as if they fully see the future, or whether they look at the past and only slowly adapt to change. If the latter, then what central banks say is less important.

Have a globalized supply chain, globalized wage rates, and frictionless markets anchored inflation for good? If so, then Fed officials relying on tight labor markets to lift wages and prices through resource competition will be disappointed.

Failure to meet inflation targets has prompted calls for an overhaul of policy, with suggestions of a new goal linked to growth in gross domestic product, for example. Fed researchers recently conjectured that the central bank should convince the public it was shooting for 3 percent in order to get two percent. Others like San Francisco Fed President John Williams have suggested just raising the target.

For the moment, though, the current target looks likely to stick — and the global waiting game to continue.

“Look, inflation is hard to forecast,” Mester said in an interview with Reuters, noting that the most elaborate models don’t do much better than simply saying inflation will be two percent and leaving it at that.
