sambung cerita semalam: babyhood

assalamualaikum!

yesterday's post sebenarnya tak siap sepenuhnya.
got too sleepy, tapi lawan mata punya pasal, cite pun brief je.


the reason why i made that video, was because i wanted to show people that having a baby isn't as easy as it looks.

and why do i care anyway kan?
sebab, i've read several comments, not just on my instagram, but on others as well, like the famous Opi and her mom Atita Haris, or Medina and her mom Irine Nadia, or the cute Hana and her mom Yana from Cala Qisya, and many more - that people just wanna have babies. coz they're cute.

i cannot deny that babies are cute.
they are!
they're tiny lil' human with tiny everything!!
how adorable is that!?!?

one ngap and gone is the hand.
coz the hand is so tiny!

tiutttttnyaaaaa!

but reality is, babies are hard work!
they require loads of attention and energy. i hardly had more than 2hours of sleep in the first few months.
and "Me Time"? what, what is that??

hahaha!
pampering myself isn't in my to-do list anymore since i had Nadrah.
not that i'm blaming her. it's my choice. and i choose to pamper myself differently than before. like taking a long nap, and leave nadrah with her grandma or great-grandma. TEEHEEE! =p

so anyway, back to babies-

having a child is a HUGE responsibility.
we're moulding them every second (coz apparently babies like to sponge things they see, hear and stuff. ummi dah pressure!!) and if we want them to be successful in this life and the Hereafter, then it's a lot of monitoring to do, isn't it?
i'm not saying i'm doing it well.
even i check out my instagram while playing with nadrah.
guilty as charged! booooo!

i just don't want people to think that the whole point of having a baby is just to "share" them to the whole world and that's it.
it's really more than that.

anak itu amanah.

we have to protect them, nurture them, change their diapers, feed them, teach them how to crawl, how to chew, how to do their businesses in the potty, how to walk, teach them how to talk, how to identify things, etc.

ingat baby keluar je dah terus pandai kencing dalam toilet bowl?
ingat baby keluar terus pandai jaga diri and then kita boleh gi tengok wayang?


you know, now i came into a conclusion:
your parents are good parents, because you are potty trained. let's thank them for that! and be grateful that you can do your businesses in a toilet, not in diapers.
alhamdulillah!


kihkihkih!

so, moral of the story is, sabar.

you'll have your time. but make sure when your time has come, be prepared.

my advise is have your family close to you as possible.
they're the best help ever.
if you don't have that option, then perhaps have a really good friend or hire a maid whom you can trust your baby with.

because sometimes, you need to poo on your own.
=p


here's the video in case.
of what?
i dunno. saje.
bahaha!





ps: i think topic baby kat my blog ni dah macam banyak ek.
perhaps you can suggest what topic i should blog about next. since i'm 24-7 with nadrah, that's why i'm more inclined towards sharing about her. tapi kalau selalu bosan gak kan. heheee..

secara tiba tiba

assalamualaikum!


semalam pergi forum kat UIA pasal #selfie.
ada sentuh sikit pasal video youtube.

harini cakap ngan kawan pasal video youtube.

tetibe.

terbuat video.
kat youtube.

'-___-




ingatkan dua tahun tak buat video, rupanya baru setahun.
ceit.

pastu sangat random.
quality webcam je.
bahahahaha!

should i continue making videos?
let me know.
kalau takmo bagitau pun takde hal. haha!

selamat pagi!
(sleeping really late these days. huhuuuu! nanes)

just a thought, if it helps =)

assalamualaikum wonderbears!

wonder because we alls likes to wonders innit.
bears coz we alls likes bears innit.

i tells yewhhh!

ok mars, dah.

ehems.

so this is a bit awkward. posted a video few days ago and completely forgotten about it.
now that i remember it, kena la explain sedikit sejarah pembikinan video ini.

alkisah.

seorang wanita berumur 25 tahun, mempunyai bakat dalam menyejukkan hati teddy bear. ok dah stop!

ehemmmmmm!

so benda ni is something that i've been thinking about for the longest time. it's about us taking pride on being a muslim.
not that it's wrong, but we could always do it in a better manner.

Surah Al-Ma'idah, ayat 3:

This day, i have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.

perfect.
straightforward, and understandable.

Allah chose Islam as our religion.
you and i, whether we're born into the religion or brought into it, Allah chosen for us this path.

patutkah kita kata "aku bangga doh aku muslim."?
tak.

patutkah kita kata "aku beragama islam sebab aku nak."?
tak.

Allah berikan kita hidayah, nikmat, rezeki, ilmu, keupayaan, kekuatan, semuanya! Dia beri apa yang kita perlukan, pada masa yang Dia tahu adalah the best time, and the best amount of it!
kita je as humans with brains that can think and consider, contemplate, wonder, think and analyse, we're the ones who will in the end make the choice whether to accept His Gifts, or ignore it.

it's like how my mom hints me about stuff.
masa nak prepare for the wedding, she'll give me options.
option A and option B, let's say. and she will jeling jeling at the option she thinks best, eventhough it is up to me to choose.
and because i trust her, i just ikut je la mana dia jeling tu =p

makes her happy, and of course made us all happy in the end =)

it's like that with life.
we're given choices because maybe, just maybe, that's how Allah wants to see how taat we are to Him.

back to being proud of being a muslim.

i've read so much stuff about how pride will turn into ego. and ego turns to riya', as we must remember, makes all of our efforts of gaining pahala hilang.
pride -> ego -> riya'

The Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "He who has in his heart the weight of an atom of pride shall not enter Paradise." 
-Muslim

oh sedihnya!!
nauzubillah min zalik.

so that's why i suggested to just make a change at the words we choose to describe ourselves, not just religiously.
even if it's a good thing, we always have a choice of something better.
does that make sense? hehee..

in sha Allah Taala.

Allah knows our intention, Allah knows we meant well. but with abundance of knowledge just waiting for us to grab it, it would be ignorant if we said "oh i've heard of that, tapi tak nak buat pape about it sebab takde orang kata i should."
or something like that =p

syukur is the best feeling anyway right! so lebihkan perasaan syukur! 
Alhamdulillah!

alhamdulillah i am a muslim. =')

and because i love you all so much, and i want us all to be in Paradise (amiin!), that's why i wanna share about this!

let's be neighbours in Syurga Firdaus =D

hehe!

ok so here's the video!



and i'm awkward liddat.
sorry video tak seberapa tapi just amik apa yang patut =)

kalau ada kesalahan, that's all due to my own kekhilafan, kalau ada yang baik dan betul, alhamdulillah syukur, itu semua dari Allah Taala.

salam!

ps: awat ni ramai dok salah paham niiii.
simple je. 
just be thankful. 
as a muslim ke, as a girl ke, for getting straight A's in SPM ke, for having the fanciest car in the world ke, for having PS3 ke, for having Coco Chanel as your best friend ke, whatever in the world!
if we can be thankful so something as simple as religion, then it'll be easier for us to be thankful for other things.

itu je my suggestion.

wallahualam.

less motip, please?

assalamualaikum!

wassap homie?

when i'm home with my family, i'm always like in a different world. i'll be distracted almost everytime. and it's not because i'm always on the phone ke apa, but i just like to khayal.
thinking about things i want to do, places i want to go, even thinking about ideas to make videos. haha!
i've mentioned many times too that i want to make videos, it's just that it's kinda hard when my days and hours are mostly wrapped around things that are more important. so making videos is not on top of my priority list. plus, recording myself, editing them myself, lari sana, lari sini, penat wo..

eh lari cite lak.
ahak!

so anyway, my mom always got angry with me coz i haven't been doing well on tasks she wants me to do (and they're small tasks lak tu!), and i thought, "I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE LIKE THIS!"
kan kan kannn?!
thus i made this video. AHAK!
in hopes that i (and sape2 la ada masalah macam ni) can get more focused at small stuff as well as the big stuff.
know what i'm sayin' homie?




less "MOTIP?!?!", more "OHHHH YEAHHH!"

motto of the day. hahahaha!

oh btw, if you're wondering where to get the blazer i vas vearing, get it from EDZ coz they're awesome liddat.
haha!

peace out yaw. imma be less motips.

ps: pendek gila video, but i hope it's good enough. *nebes*

ada apa dengan SQS?

have you heard of SQS?
no?

ok. SQS is "Silly Question Syndrome". (calling it silly instead of stupid coz stupid is too harsh. ihik!)
bet you never heard of that kan? well, me neither. i just created that now.
buahahahahaha!!! (buah + hahaha? interesting combo if i might say so. ok stop kerepek)

so recently, i went to watch a movie with my friend, Lynoy. imagine, we were in the cinema tu kan, kat luar toilet, when a lady called out my name. i turned to look at her, and i asked her "tengok movie ke?" sambil senyum.

we were in the cinema kot.. tengok apa lagi kan.. takkan gi shopping kot. takkan gi buat facial kot. takkan gi amik anak yang dah habis kelas tadika. kan kan kan!?!?!
i felt like giving myself the biggest facepalm in the world. nak borrow palm gorilla mana pastu tepuk muka i ni yang noob gila!! arrrgghhhh!!
faham tak itu feeling??!

pastu i jalan laju laju nak masuk our cinema hall coz i was too embarrassed.

nice one mars, nice one.

before this i pernah cite ngan my mom about how a friend of mine asked me where i was going when my hand was already on the doorknob of a toilet. i was annoyed and amused la masa tu. =p padan muka kan. Allah SWT tu memang Maha Adil. bagi satu lesson kat i. hehehe!!

so lately i've been wondering why we ask silly questions sometimes. and the thing about SQS, is that you tend to ask the most obvious questions!
think about it! =p

for example, in my cinema case, i asked "tengok movie ke?" because i wanted to ask something out of courtesy and the first thing that popped in my mind was the fact that i wanted to watch a movie.
hence, SQS.

i have already witnessed several people with SQS; asking the most obvious questions only to find themselves being embarrassed for asking them. and now, i am proud to announce that, I, Maria Elena Sharapova Mercedes Mariana Mim Alif Waw Ya, is down with Silly Question Syndrome.
sekian terima kasih! where's my certificate or letter of acceptance?
=p

anyway, i think it's common to be asking questions which you already know the answers to. sometimes we all do that because we just want to appear friendly, sopan santun, ramah tamah, comel lote, awesome shmawesome. maybe you think it's fake, but i think it's an effort.
an effort to be courteous (despite not being able to form a proper question before our mouth vomit it out..) ahak ahak ahak!

therefore, to those with SQS, don't feel bad or unintelligent! we're considered good because we put an effort, at least!
those who are victims of SQS's questions, don't think less of the former =) they're just trying! and probably overwhelmed by you sampai terSQS. patut rasa terharu kot! hehe!

eventhough i rasa malu and stuff, tapi syukur. i've learnt my lesson!
thank you Allah SWT for never stop giving us lessons in life =D

ps: lunch hour post!!

pps: can't wait for next week!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

i sat directly behind afiq and i was nervous for him! alhamdulillah, he only had one go =D

alamak, ni picture taken from my phone.. but you can't deny, SHE LOOKED GORGEOUS!!

i forgot what they were looking at. but i know Afiq was stealing glances at his beautiful wife =)

before the akad nikah, the ustaz described all the 'needs', 'do's' and 'don'ts' between a husband and wife. and when it was akad nikah time, after afiq lafazkan flawlessly, i cried macam baby okayhh!! sampai hingus meleleh leleh! bukan apa.. i was so touched!! =') 

to Rina and Afiq,
may Allah SWT bless your marriage and sends his barakah to you and your family. may your union brings more rezeki and happiness, may you both bring the best out of each other, may your children be blessed with your best attributes, and may your love will be till Jannah. =D

and lastly and most recent activity, i went to UIA for the Productive Muslim seminar =D it was a 2-day seminar, fyi. it's amazing being in this dewan with people who basically have the same problem. we all want to balance our life for dunia and akhirat =)

sebab the seminar starts at 9am til 5pm, of course i have to have my comfy clothes on!

it's only early of the year 2012 and thus my second time going to melaka. i just love it there coz it's just different and fun! different in a sense that it's not as busy as KL, not congested, so cultural and colourful, never boring, and cendol dia best. hehe! though, i miss ipoh's cendol very much.. and nasi vanggey.. roti bakar telur manis.. dengggg!! rasa macam nak gi ipoh lak!! and maybe pay a visit to my darling universiti di toronto. ahakk!!

anyway, this time i went with these awesome girls, my sisters whom i work with. =)

Maria Elena | Peliks | Shortnap | Greek Helen

Assalamualaikum,

my name is Maria Elena. today, i shall be talking about myself because.. i don't know. i just feel like it.
MAHAABAHAHAA! gelak terabur please. AMARAN! ini post panjang gila. kalau anda ada awesome, anda baca sampai habis. hahaha! =p kidding!

first things first.
"maria, apahat lu pakai itu nama peliks untuk lu punyat bloggerisme?" tanya beberapa orang. 

peliks just came to me when i created this blog (2008, ehem) sebab masa tu 'mariaelena', 'mariaelenaisawesome', 'mariasharapova', 'marsupilami', 'batumarmar' dan sewaktu dengannya dah taken. sedih bangat itu masa, maka i thought, apa satu word yang paling senang mau diingat, senang nak recognise and unique?
OUGGHHH! BEBEH! tapi tu pun taken.
so i thought.... peliks la ini macam. dengan selambanya i typed it out, tengok tengok available! wahhh! manyak how liau!! so that's how my peliks got it's name. brahammaaahahaha! gelak terabur again please.

second things second.
"mariah carey, vhy iz your vizeo chanel (yes, i'm talking about the brand) iz shortnap?"

shortnap was easyyyyy. i ni the kind of person who can take naps easily anytime, anywhere. i can sleep standing up, sitting, in awkward positions, and i sleep comfortably. terror kan? not scary, but hebat. jahaujaahaaa! gelak terabur again lahai.
so masa i nak create my youtube account, again all the names i wanted to use all taken, so i thought...stress la ini macam. i vant to take a short nap la.
OUGHHH!!!! SHORTNAPITIS!!
but that sounded very odd. so i pendekkan to shortnap. myeheuheuhiaaaaauuuuuu! gelak gelak terabur tutup mulut please.

third things third.
"maria, ko nye pesbuk page pahal name maria elena is greek helen?"

ahhh~ itu a bit the long story wannn.
masa tu (2008, and i was 21years old) i tengah kemaruk tengok anime and i masa tu tengah adore gila Belldandy. kenal tak beliau? barangsiapa yang kenal, meh high five sket sebab kita goddess wannabe. hahahahha!!
belldandy is a character in an anime called Oh My Goddess! so yeah.. i wanted to be like her: cantik, lemah lembut, penyabar, and kuat. and so i googled for some greek-ish character i can use for myself and i found Helen, daughter of Zeus. so bajet-ing goddess macam Belldandy punya pasal, i pun guna lah Maria Elena is Greek Helen. coz i bajet-isme. know what i'm sayin' dawg?
namun, hakikatnya i memang takde sifat macam greek goddesses. kasar, gangsta, flying-kickable, and so much more. mostly, i am only human. =')
but oh well, a girl can hope and change is permitted. mana tau one day i'll be in the best form i can be? insyAllah~ =D

fourth things fourth.
i am Maria Elena, the only girl among siblings of 4 and my brothers have implanted in me to be as gangsta as i could for safety reasons. one time, masa taekwondo dulu, Sir pernah buat adegan rogol, and since then i memang PHOBIAAAAAA dengan being too soft. takut men would take advantage of that and i'd be too helpless to defend myself. scary isn't it? and my bros helped me to be gangsta-ish by bullying me and fist-fighting with me as if i was one of them. =\
i am currently working as an engineer di kilang sebelah sana. malas nak pingpongpingpong (normally people would say pumpangpumpang kan? tapi that sounds like kompang to me. haha!) pasal kerja saya sebab nanti nampak macam boasting lak. a lot of people have been asking:
1. engineer apa?
2. kat mana?
3. senang ke?
4. best ke?
5. belajar utp camane? senang ke?
6. kena result camane nak masuk utp?

please see below for the answers:
1. process engineer
2. kat kilang
3. biasa je. keje pape pun ada time senang, ada time tak senang. kalau nak berjaya, kena lah tabah face kesusahan.
4. biasa je. keje pape pun ada best and tak best. kalau nak berjaya, kena lah tabah face it all.
5. belajar utp sama je macam belajar mana mana. cuma it's environment is very conducive and it's terletak kat tempat yang tak senang nak get entertainments. which is good in a way =)
6. i pun not sure sekarang camane. i got my scholarship masa kat matrix on 2nd semester. so i tak gi educamp. after matrix straight masuk utp. sorry... tak dapat nak tolong.. please google it yourself k? jangan malas.

a lot of people have been pressing me about videos too, and to that saya jawab "saya keje dek. kalau saya takde keje, memang saya buat la. kot. sebab kalau ada free time, saya nak belajar masak sebenarnya." means to say, making videos is not my main priority. blogging, to me tak susah sebab i just typeeee je. videos kena edit edit and sebab i sorang je feature in my own videos, it takes double the time to shoot. sadderisme. sometimes i just wish someone can just do all those editting and holding camera stuff for me. myeheeehebeeleheee! gelak terabur keluar hingus please.

i love my family and i try to spend time with them whenever i can. my mom and i sangat close and some weekends, we'll try to go out and do something. mother daughter bonding la =) my family lak memang suka chill ramai ramai. that's why i am close with my cousins, aunt and uncles and grandmothers. love them long timeee! when it comes to friends lak, i ni memang tak reti nak keep in touch through social networking ni. i prefer jumpa lepak. sebab online lepaking is not real enough for me. =p but i do keep my close friends in mind and heart. i may not contact them always, but i always think about them. sweet kan? hahaa! =p

on life matters, i have my principles and disciplines which i stick to. and i definitely realise now that i have no problem admitting my weaknesses to the public. partly because i know i'm not the only going through......life. =) i love traveling (sampai i kena take up part time jobs to support this love of mine) because i get to see Allah SWT's amazing creations and how i always find similarities in some things. i started wearing the hijab after i got back from my first ever eurotrip with my friends! hehe! =)
i saw His Mightiness and i saw His fairness. i fell in love with other countries, but my love for my country and religion deepens and i'm grateful for the experiences.
sometimes we need to compare ourselves with those who have lesser so that we truly appreciate what we have. syukur.. =)

on public attention, fame, popularity, whatever you wanna call it, i honestly don't want to care about it. i do appreciate the many supports and all of you who have been encouraging me, sharing with me, teguring me and being really really cool with me!
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! 
but i'm still a pemalu and muka sombong kalau jumpa orang tak kenal. =p

pasal all this modelling and stuff, i admit that i still do it. but only for fun and as a side income. told you i want to travel =p i do try not to go overboard with it. i'd rather be a good role model than a model. know what i mean? haha! i'll try my best la k adik adik =)

from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for supporting me all this while! 
my friends, my family, my readers, my viewers, may Allah swt bless you =)
kalau ada salah silap, buat you terasa ke tercirit ke, buat you rasa nak menampar muka haku ni, buat you termuntah hijau ada sayur sikit ke, sorry sangat sangat..

kalau ada you terserempak ngan i, pastu you thought "eh, maria shmaria ke tu?" pastu bila nak tegur takut sebab muka i macam gangsta, sorry ek.. muka i memang macam tu sebab kata dah.. my bros dah cukup train i baek punya. hahahaa! just tegur je. =)


peace =)

ps: this was a lunch hour post. so excuse my grammatical errors and loss for words moments. and extremely sorry for much poyoness here. just wanna clear things up.

pps: for your information, Asfirdaus Asri (tunang saya) is not a Dato' and not a son of a Dato'. i saje je bagi dia that nickname sebab dulu, dia selalu ada this laugh when talking to his customers (dia buat business dong) which was, to me, very Dato'-ish. kalau korang tengok malay drama yang ada character dato' yang gatal ngan dia punya secretary pastu dia gelak "ehek ehek ehek" konon macam macho la kan, that was the laugh. but now dia dah tak buat dah. hahaha! but still he's a dato' to me. =p <---another thing i have to clear up. so excusez moi ah!
