Jakarta Ramai

Jakarta. A crowded city in Indonesia, a hometown of mine, traffic issues everywhere, surrounded by skyscrapers, night life, urban life, crimes everywhere, and also... poverty. So ironic.

As the capital city of this developing country, I think the people of Jakarta should have more discipline in their activities.

1. Respect time because it has the same value as money as well.

No one can't resist that our simple excuse for coming late such as, "macet."

And also.. many people love wasting their valuable time for unnecessary things, hanging around places without any goal.

I used to live like those examples (coming late, and wasting time) but the more I grow.. I'm always trying to respect time. By doing that, I can be more productive without feeling overwhelmed and I can save my expenses.

So, I suggest you to have a monthly / weekly / daily planner to control your life and you can live to the fullest by doing necessary things that you love, or that you responsible of.

2. Try to use public transportation.

Well, I know our public transportation is so alarming so we'd rather use personal transportation. Well, I also know that tingkat kejaiman dan ego orang Jakarta itu besar, jadinya malu untuk naik angkutan umum. Orang Jakarta yang mempunyai mobil / motor lebih memilih untuk bepergian dengan kendaraan mereka sendiri karena tidak mau berdesakan, berkeringat, dan kepanasan. The folks are also too lazy to walk from one place to another one.

The ironic thing is, traffic issues highlighted this city caused by the using of personal transportation, and people coming late, and eventually we breathe more carbon monoxide than oxygen.

How can we awake the folks to realize this situation? Tidak semua angkutan umum itu keadaannya memprihatinkan, kok.

3. Budayakan antri.

Well, the serious problem among all. Menyela antrian orang lain adalah hal primitif dan tidak beretika sama sekali. Why can't people be more patient, huh?

***

Still, living in this crowded city is not a guarantee to be happy. A crowded place usually makes us feel alone, am I right?

Girls Run The World

Cewek mana sih yang sering merasa kalau dirinya itu jelek, gendut, pendek, ngga pinter, aneh, sampai ke nerd? Cewek mana sih yang sering terintimidasi oleh dirinya sendiri? Cewek mana sih yang pengen punya badan bagus kaya si A tapi ngga kesampean? Cewek mana coba..... Jawabannya cuma satu. Kita semua. Kita semua para cewek. Hmm, menurut pendapat gue... Cantik itu variatif kok. Manusia itu ngga ada yang sempurna. Kekurangan kita itu hanya sebagian kecil dari kesempurnaan yang kita miliki. Gue itu tinggi, berat gue 60 Kg (Damn... Sejak puasa sampe sekarang malah naik), dan gue sering merasa aneh dengan diri gue sendiri. Gue rakus, sering nyicip makanan ini-itu. Hehe -_- Tapiiiii, gue juga tahu untuk tetap menjaga badan ini supaya staminanya pas dan ngga berlebihan. Sebisa mungkin hampir setiap hari Minggu gue selalu berolahraga. Dari mulai yang paling simple, jogging, sampe bersepeda dengan rute yang kadang-kadang akan membuat orang-orang takjub untuk ukuran cewek seperti g...

Bookaholic

My name is Nita. I'm a bookaholic. I can read thousands of books in a day. My eyes would be so green if I see lots of books. My imagination is in high level. And I live with an optimistic because I hope... I'll find my Happy Ending one day. I love reading novels. Horror, Sleuth-ish, Romantic, everything as long as the book is good. Beside that, I wanna be a writer. A bright future novelist. A famous author. Suatu hari di Gramedia Grand Indonesia, dengan berbagai macam buku yang pengen dibeli... Tapi cuma dibolehin ambil 2 sama Mama. T-T Dari sekian banyak novel yang dibaca, gue itu suka dengan karya-karyanya Trenton Lee Stewart di seri Mr. Benedict Society yang tebal bukunya bisa 500-an. Ceritanya TOP banget, seru, buat gregetan, dan sktech nya juga bagus..... -_- Terus ada juga Meg Cabot, an author who made Princess Diaries. Cerita buatan beliau memang 'terlalu' Barat, tapi karyanya tetap jadi andalan untuk gue. Sedangkan dari negara kita sendiri juga ada ...

Worthy Soul

I like deep hugs. I like holding hands. I like unexpected kisses. I like to be clingy. I want it everyday. I want to be loved, seen, heard, wanted, and needed. I want intimacy, connection, feeling warm and safe. I want a bond, soul to soul. A real love. Not a lust. I was kissed and hugged by love, several times, years ago in juvenile times. I was kissed and hugged by lust, several times in adult times. They longed for more hugs and kisses, they craved me. Some came from the intimacy and connection built in trust and affection, the rest... came from lust. As a lover woman, I know the difference, I could feel it... and I hate how lust could tainted the intimacy, connection, and the bond of souls. I hate how lust could made it as if an assault where I was only an object, not a subject. I hate how intimacy and connection eventually could became a lust. I miss to feel the sacred of love, where it overflows with intimacy and connection. Where eyes could speak to another eyes, without needing...

Sebagaimana layaknya gue pengen dimengerti tanpa gue perlu selalu mengatakannya, semesta memperkenalkan gue dengan pria ini. Lucu... ketika gue kira hati gue sudah tertutup rapat dan sulit menerima kehadiran orang baru. Pria ini membaca pikiran gue, sangat penyabar, dan somehow... dia bisa menjadi lebih dominan daripada gue. Jika diibaratkan nilai, gue mendapatkan A+ dan dia bisa meraih A++++. Poin lainnya, ketika gue merasa kecewa dan menarik diri, dia mencari gue. Bukan ikutan diam atau mundur. Selama ini, ketika gue menarik diri, nggak ada pria yang justru mencari dan menghampiri. Mungkin sesuai doa gue: kalo gue tau kapasitas diri gue dalam mencintai seseorang, maka akan ada juga orang seperti gue untuk gue. We will see about his consistency. With love, Nita

Autumn in Paris

I already read Autumn in Paris like a MILLION time, but I never get bored. Ilana Tan is such a great author. She makes this story so perfect. Everyone will cry (seriously). Now I wonder... what happen with Tara Dupont? Whoever get wondered by this book, HARUS BACA.
