DJournal Cafe at Grand Indonesia

I was meeting someone there and he suggested Djournal. I went there for the first time and I fell in love with it. So I brought G there after Church yesterday. I love the rustic blend of contemporary and vintage. Mint Mojito Coffee. Very interesting flavour and the blend of coffee is fragrant.  I just love, love, love all the little details they put into the decor. G had a chicken wrap. I had the Aglio Olio. G is an avid Starbucks fan and he agreed that this cafe is indeed very nice in many ways. Coffee is quite fabulous and I like the Lychee Tea (I'm not a coffee drinker). What I like about the place is that it is kind of hidden; not too busy and have a wide selection of drinks as well as some cafe food.  It is a great place to have some alone me-time and also a lovely hang out place with friends. It is a self service place so you don't get interrupted by rude waitresses or feel any pressure to not linger too long. Overall 9/1...

Maintaining Your Relationship during Pregnancy

Worried That Your Husband Might Cheat During Your Pregnancy? Fret Not..Your Relationship Can Emerge Stronger During Your Pregnancy. Asians have couple of weird perceptions, one of which is that a woman's pregnancy usually put a toll on the relationship or drive partners to "cheat" outside.

For most pregnant women, especially for those who suffer severe pregnancy symptoms like myself, will find a dip in your libido and also discomfort with certain intimacy. That is perfectly normal and will fluctuate along the pregnancy. The physical aspect of the relationship is nevertheless important but the emotional aspect i...

Pregnancy Push Gift

And a big thank you and hug to hubby for a very sweet push gift:) I wonder how many women(who actually went through pregnancy and childbirth) would say that it is an easy task. Now that I am going through pregnancy the very first time, and passing through all the different stages of discomfort from morning sickness, merlioning (puking), backaches, migraine, leg swelling, you name it...  I would say every pregnant woman or mom deserves a gift especially from their husbands or partners ! It is not bribery. The gift does not need to be extravagant. It is the thought behind that counts. It is letting the female know that "hey I appreciate you bringing this life to earth and going through all the hardwork!"  It is all about appreciation and the benefit of receiving a physical gift is that you get to keep it as a sentimental token. You know like showing your children and grandchildren in the future...beaming as you tell them,  " Grandpapa gave this to me when...
