Homemaker isn't a good talent?

Last night, I took a quiz through my Facebook account. It's supposed to let us know what talent hidden inside each of us. Based on the questioners, my secret talent is a PERFECT HOMEMAKER. Wow, I thought, isn't it nice? Then I read the comment below my result that made me: "Huh?????"

The creator advised me to do the quiz all over again, because it seemed I wasn't interested in anything. I was advised to, for example, concentrate in my cooking skills, so I could be a famous chef and have my own TV program.

The comment above made me wonder whether I mistook the meaning of HOMEMAKER. So, I consulted my dictionary and wikipedia. And I was right. According to wikipedia, a homemaker works full-time to maintain the home environment. If the person is female and part of the family, then she's called HOUSEWIFE. So, the BIG question is: what's wrong in becoming a fully housewife? Isn't a housewife considered as a special talent? Is it wrong to choose working behind a screen, supporting the husband in his career, raising the children, creating a comfortable home for the family?

Yes, my big dream is becoming a fully housewife. I'm not interested in becoming a career woman, nor a working wife/mom. One thing I understand of myself is I couldn't concentrate in doing more than one task at a time. I value very high women who could building her career and still doing her shares at home altogether. Working full-time has drained me at the end of the day. I couldn't imagine how high my emotion would run if arriving at home, I still have to prepare dinner for the family, checking the children's homework and smile sweetly at my husband....hahaha... I think I would explode very easily each day....hahaha... not a good situation for my loved ones.

The BIG problem in realising my dream is that I'm also rather materialistic....hahaha....see how honest I am? So, what am I looking for? Hmmmm...a rich man who prefers a quiet life and doesn't mind that his wife isn't a model-look at all, that she loves to talk, discuss and sometimes debate, that she would go berserk if he go all day without send her a short message just to say hi, that she still learns how to cook properly, that sometimes she just want to escape and do window shopping for a day alone.....uh, better stop now...otherwise, it would be going and going and going.....hahaha...and no man alive could fulfill that requirements.....hahaha..

So, any man out there dare to take the challenge and apply for the post?

Tag from a friend

This morning, only a couple of days after I informed my blog to a dear friend now live abroad, I found this list of questionnaires in my email box. After spending some time trying to figure out how to copy and paste her tag (hey....I am a newcomer in blogging! sort of.....hehehe!) into my new post, finally I succeeded. Sorry, Mbak Fida, if you'd think that I make a jest in answering some questions, but maybe it's too close to my comfort...hehehe.... Anyway, here it is:

1. At what age do you wish to marry? Next year....if [one of] the ma[e]n in question is really and truly what he says he is...............hehehe, otherwise, I'm content to try hard to become a millioner before reaching my pension age.


2. If you can turn into anything, what do you wish you can turn into? I don't want to turn into anything, not because I love my present-self, but because I agree with relativity theory. Maybe there's something I am hard to accept in this condition, but there's no guarantee that I would be happier in another form.


3. If you were stranded on an desert island, who are the 3 blog buddies you would take with you? Why? Anyone who : a) could make a delicious food out of nothing, b) never run out of conversation materials, c) have a good sense of humour, d) an optimist, e) bring a satellite telephone with full battery and some back up, so we could contact someone and get a help and out of there as soon as possible before I lost too many series of Naruto....hehehe...


4. Where is the place that you want to go most? Europe, the classical places. I'd like to visit the old churches with all of their beautiful, artistic decorations.


5. If you have one dream to come true, what would it be? Only one??? I have to choose between love and money?? Not fair!!!


6. Who is in your mind right now? A certain someone whom I want very much to be able sure of his integrity and motives, before it's too late to back out. Any idea how is the best way to accomplish it?


7. What are you afraid to lose the most right now? My highly logical, calm and cool mind. These last years I've felt more and more trapped in one long darkness way. There's no other way than just continue on walking, hoping that tomorrow maybe is the day when I'll reach the end of this long, tiring road, hoping that any minute now God will be generous towards me and light up my way so I could see.
   
8. Do you want your first born child to be a girl or boy? Why? A boy, I think. I was raised in a family dominated by females, I am the second child and daughter. I just want to see any girl born in my own family have an older brother to protect and guard her.


9. If you meet someone you love, would you confess to him/her? NO WAY!! Not until I'm sure about my position in his heart, and certainly until I'm sure about my own feeling. LOVE is such a big, serious word to me.


10. List out three good things of the person who tagged you! Mbak Fida is such an artistic person, a very organized person in works, and a very positive person. She could do anything and make a success out of it! Wait, did that make it three or four things?


11. What colour do you like? Why? I like most of basic colors, especially blue and green. Those colours is such cool and calm. But not white....it's a childish colour for me, due to the universal school uniform. Hmmm...make it difficult for the traditional white wedding gown, isn't it? hehehehe.....


12. What type of person do you hate the most? Someone who using nice, sweet words to take advantages from me.


13. What would you do if you won a million dollars? Starting business in building and renting economical apartments and restoration of old antique houses.


14. What is your ambition? I haven't any ambition right now, just try and keep myself float and follow where water flows.
    
15. What would you wanna be after you're dead? Haven't thinking that far, still trying to fulfill my life.
    
16. If you have a chance, which part of your character would you like to change? My hesitant to leap at the first good chance offered to me, but then the person wouldn't be me at all....hehehe....it become somebody else.
    
17. What would you most want to achieve right now? Ability to upgrade my ancient laptop to a newer system so I could get benefit from those new high-techs advertised recently.
    
18. What do you think is the most important thing in your life? My beloved ones, family and friends around me.


19. If there’s one thing in your life you want to do but yet unable to, what would it be? Taking higher degree in education abroad.


20. Among all the questions asked, which one do u like most? Why? None, these all force me to think hard and make me more tired.....hehehe...but it's good for my soul, anyway!

So, could anyone who read those of my answers above see the truly me more deeply? Hehehe.....
