Blogging for Passion

My main profession is as a full time mother and housewife; taking care of my son, husband, and our house. I also teach English to the elementary children, but no longer in the institution. The focus of my career is working from home, then I opened a small English class for private lessons at home. Writing is part of my additional job as a content writer and blogger as well. 

Alhamdulillah, I never feel bored with my routine activities. Maybe if my mood is not okay, I would read books or play some musical instruments. Besides taking care of the household and teaching, I usually do blogging activities in my spare time, all the blogging stuff is run as fun as possible.


Around 2006, I created a blog as a "bucket" to convey my feeling, write poetry or some kind of random thoughts. My previous blog link was www.zia-blog.blogspot.com. Now the blogosphere is growing and developing so fast. My husband is an IT enthusiast and he's engaged also in the cyber world, he changed my blog to private domain. He created www.zeelhouette.com (English post) in 2013 and www.ruangbacadantulis.com in 2014. What does zeelhouette mean? It is a combination of two words Zee (my nick name) and silhouette (the image of a person or object represented as a solid shape of a single color with its edges that matches the outline of the subject). So, zeelhouette has kind of personal philosophy, by the name, it gives meaning that my blog represents my self, my image, my life, my world. In other hand, ruangbacadantulis.com is in Bahasa Indonesia, ruang baca dan tulis means a room/place to read and write, it has no deep philosophy but has a common meaning that will be understood easily. Aside, my blog's theme is about fall, it's because I'm really in love with autumn.

My husband really supports me to thrive in the blog world. Now, I'm trying to be consistent in blogging, at least making one or two posts in a month. I'm really grateful with my supportive husband who always responds me positively. In 2014, I joined some blogger's communities, there I got so many blogging tips and experiences. I've been learning about blog monetizing and improving my blog too. Now, I can say that blogging is one of my passions.

The Surprising Benefits of Online Video Games for Children

Some children play video games for recreational and they still can maintain excellent performance in school. There's a research shows benefit of playing video games.

MY BERRY FARM: Fresh Premium Strawberry Bandung

Strawberry is a sub-tropical fruit. It turns out that strawberry is actually not a berry family, but the genus is from the rose family (Rosaceae). Strawberry was first cultivated in the United States around 1835 and has become a widely grown plant in home gardens and widespread in agriculture. All cultivated strawberries are developed from four main species. The first, the wood strawberry (Fragaria vesca), is a fragile woodland species native to the mountains of Mexico, South America, and the West Indies. Meadow strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) in eastern North America was introduced to Europe during the 17th century. The beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is native to the mountainous regions of the Western Hemisphere, and a fourth cultivated strawberry species developed classified as Fragaria moschata is common in Central Europe. Most of the strawberry varieties cultivated today were developed from the North American varieties, known as Wilson, Crescent, Sharpless, and Longworth.
