June 2021

 I know I wrote this in July, but so many things happened in June, so yeah...

COVID-19 is still here. It is older than my son, Bhaga who just turned 1 this June. I am so happy about how he has grown. How he is able to show his needs, wants, or dislikes. They are all crystal clear for me, as his mother. Isn't it funny how God leads the path made only for you? No matter how hard you try to walk oppositely, God will always lead you to the right one, chosen for you. 

It's been 13 months old being a mother, I feel like I need to stock up a lot of patience. A toddler can be tricky to live with. Not to mention the fact that toddlers now try to do everything independently, all we can do as mothers are constantly paying attention and taking extra care, nonstop. Luckily I made the right decision to leave my full-time job this April, cause leaving my son at his grandma's house is worrisome. My mother is getting older, she isn't as fit as she used to so it is always hard to chase Bhaga around the house. But you know I made the right decision...

The COVID outbreak, Delta variant is right at your doorstep. I thank God for the decision I made. The decision that is so hard to make mentally and financially. I don't think I ever take any rest from work since graduation. And today to have freelance jobs during my full-time job as a mother is also a blessing. I can cook real and genuine food every day for my little family, while also adding funds for Bhaga's future little by little. 

My resolution for this year is to have a healthy body. For all of my family to stay healthy and protected from COVID-19. I don't think I want anything in my life right now, but to be able to survive and stay healthy. My postpartum was not a nice experience. And I realized to be healthy is much more important than being rich.

My Star by Robert Browning  Poem Analysis Today, I'd like to present my poem analysis; My Star by Robert Browning . This poem analysis would be divided into three parts, namely: introduction which will tell a brief background life of the poet, then to the content where there will be summary and intrinsic elements of this poem, and then move to the conclusion as the finish line. But more importantly, you need to know why I choose this poem, which belongs to Men and Women (1885)  poems collections of Browning. It is because this dainty love lyric is just beautiful and simple, in words-chosen and easy to understand too. More importantly, this poem shows us how the beauty of a person is different depending on its beholder. Yet, we should respect the differences.

The reign of the Puritans also produce a large amount of literature (poetry, prose), but drama could not thrive because it is prohibited by the authorities.

Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie . I analyzed this movie in order to complete the assignment given in Children literature class. But it turned out interesting! I focused only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. Check out the analysis from my paper! The writer analyzes Frozen movie by focusing only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. In order to not broaden it into some theories that may be found in the plot, the writer thinks the misconstrued-performances of the main characters, Anna and Elsa are easily seen and become vast majority start from the beginning until the very end of the movie. But it doesn’t mean other theories are forgotten. Something that the writer immediately thought about when finishing the movie was that Frozen is perhaps the queerest animated film ever produced by Disney–queer as being a theoretical practic
