Surat Terbuka Untuk Motorbikers

Dari lubuk hati yang paling dalam, Dear Motorbikers, The idea of naik motor memang cepat, efisien, irit dan reliable, I get it. Tapi kadang kalian lupa (atau sengaja) dan mengabaikan hak pengguna jalan lainnya. Bahkan gak jarang juga kalian membahayakan diri sendiri dan orang lain. You like to nyelip dan nyalip, which menurut gue nggak masalah, that's the essence of naik motor, asal kalian paham, empati dan bisa menyikapi hak pengguna jalan lainnya; pejalan kaki, pengendara mobil, pesepeda, dan sebagainya. Kalian sering melakukan pelanggaran di bawah ini (unranked): - gak pake helm - boncengan melebihi kapasitas - nerobos lampu merah - ngambil jalur busway dan trotoar pedestrian - jalan di lajur lawan arah - motong jalan atau masuk ke verbodden area - nyikut atau nyerempet body mobil atau lengan pejalan kaki saat nyelip - ngelewatin garis putih saat berhenti lampu merah dan berbagai pelanggaran lainnya yang bikin gue ngelus dada dan banyak istighfar, sambil terus...

On Being Famous

It is important to be famous. I'll tell you why. 1. You're inspiring many people . There are these people who retweet your posts, quote your stupid sentences, use your theory, put your pictures or posters in their room, even a die-hard-fan who will always makes time see you, and also those who go fight for you when haters come, it's because they (even though they don't know you personally, but they) adore you so much. For you who do care about how improved and inspired their life might be, it must be a great pleasure to be such "idol", then you get all the credits, love, gifts, gratitude, etc etc. So fun! Sir Isaac Newton; 3 Laws of Motion 2.  That "oh, you are....." moment when you suddenly appear or show up in any place anywhere. They gasp! In front of you, behind you, anywhere. You imagine all the "oh, she/he is....." whispers and talk, and when it comes to the right moment... ta-daaa~ all access, VIP seats, priority, first cla...

i'll tell you why

embedding instagram code was one of the most challenging and irritating to me all day today. i was whining and struggling with a code i got from instagram website to put such badge into my blog here. but i failed. it was not a url, i could not copy-paste it. it was a html code and i did not find any template nor a space to copy-paste it anywhere in blogger. my friend, ifi, and i were cursing the format of blogger. blogger is not as easy as wordpress (or something ifi mentioned) or other blog providers. sigh. why does this matter? i'll tell you why. i've been living in a stupidity of technology for 12 years. i was the least active person in technology, internet and computer development. fortunately, my environment encouraged (and forced) me to at least understand and getting an up-to-date technology and gadget news.  there, with my apple gadgets, my (a little bit) decent  not so bad internet access and connection, in fact, got me into a sophisticated materia...

Ten things I really really really miss about England.

You see? I wrote the word "really" three times for missing England sooooo much. 10. Free medication and health service. From flu, twisted ankle, fever and even justified and legal abortion. all for free as long as you're holding the righteous visa or residence permit. 9. Pollution-free jogging track. Either park, jogging track, or main street; there's no reason to not run in England. Everywhere. 8. Fantastic education facilities. I've seen a little part of British Education Boards; libraries, campuses, classrooms, lecture theaters, laboratories, driving simulator, name it! England's one of the best cities for students to learn! 7. Primark. This is the inspiration:   I LOVE PRIMARK! 6. Reliable public transport. Okay the price is sometimes tricky and over-expensive, but then again if you're smart and patient enough, you'll get the most reasonable prices for a reliable, on-time and fast transportation facilities. 5. Quick and help...
