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?

Pancasila, Nasionalisme, dan Eyangkung

Mungkin Eyangkung (Eyang Kakung, Kakek dalam bahasa Jawa) benci disebut-sebut sebagai pahlawan. Tapi, memang kenyataannya begitu. Tidak akan ada Indonesia tanpa Eyangkung dan para pahlawan yang lain. Eyangkung saya bernama Eyang Toegijo Kartosandjojo, beliau lahir di Solo pada 17 Agustus 1919. Eyangkung bersekolah di Neutrale H. I. S Solo dan beliau berprestasi di sekolahnya. Karena prestasi itulah beliau dibebaskan dari les persiapab masuk M. U. L. O. dan pada akhirnya beliau berhasil masuk tanpa melalui tes ujian masuk. Sebagai cucu kesekian, saya sangat bangga mempunyai sosok Eyangkung. Karena beliau, saya selalu bersumpah akan membawa nama baik keluarga. Saya nggak mau menjelekkan nama baik keluarga besar, saya nggak mau dibilang, "cucu pahlawan kok seperti itu?" (Walaupun saya ini memang tergolong bandel sih, cuma bandelnya masih sebatas wajar). Walaupun beliau wafat setahun sebelum saya lahir, banyak cerita yang sudah saya dengar maupun foto-foto beliau yang saya l...

True Colors

Lagu ini udah ada sejak gue kecil. Gue lupa siapa penyanyi aslinya, tapi yang jelas lagu ini udah di cover banyak orang. Sejak kecil gue seriiiiing banget dengerin lagu ini dimana-mana. Dan gue suka sama lagu ini. Sejak gue masih belom bisa A - B - C, Bahasa Indonesia aja masih ngaco apalagi ngerti Bahasa Inggris, gue suka lagu ini. Lagu ini tuh sesuatu. Dan gue pun akhirnya udah download lagu ini, tapi versi yang dinyanyiin Glee Cast. Terus finally juga udah tau maksud dari lagu ini. Here's the Lyric... You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh, I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness inside you Can make you feel so small But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors Are beautiful like a rainbow Show me a smile then Don't be unhappy Can't remember when I last saw...

The Fangirling Moment When They Talk About F1

I'd never talk about this though I should!! So I've watched F1 since in the 9th grade, and I only knew about Sebastian Vettel back then. My chairmate, Salsa, has a HUGE crush on him so I was her victim everytime she was fangirling. Like it or not, I listened to those craps. Then... I was feeling "What's so good with Vettel" and I started to watch F1. At the moment, BOOM, HE IS GOOD. I was starting to be his fan back then. Up until now, I'm still his fans and now I know some of racers which is COOL! Salsa may loves Vettel to death, but I ship Hamilton more than Vettel. Lol. But seriously, Hamilton is really cute! He's a total pro! He was the 1st racer ever that won in such young age (before Vettel broke his record). But... Hamilton is always be my... imaginary brother? Hamilton looks like he's a rapper instead of racer, though. He has this swag that makes him more adorable and cute. Then then then, I've heard about Rio Haryanto joins F1 for Ma...

She's Chloe Moretz

Haiiii!!!! Ini namanya Chloe Grace Moretz atau yang biasa dikenal sebagai Chloe Moretz. Chloe lahir di Atlanta, Georgia, 10 Februari 1997. Chloe adalah seorang actress rangkap seorang model yang emang kariernya lagi naik banget sekarang. I'm totally in love with her. Acting -nya itu terlalu bagus untuk anak sebaya kita. Waktu casting Hugo, Chloe malah pake logat Inggris gituuu... Sutradaranya ngira dia adalah orang Inggris. She fooled him! :p Terus, karena dia itu model...... Her styles, kiblat fashion nya itu emang terlalu enak untuk dijadiin contoh. Gayanya unik, anggun, elegant, edgy, tapi tetep casual. Two thumbs up for her. Bajunya, sepatunya, clutchnya... *.* Her eyes is too pretty Liat gayanya deh. SO kewl. She loves wearing sun glasses Her dress is too chic. Combine it with those shoes! Photoshoot untuk apa gitu..... 0.0 Her dress! Her headband! Di acaranya Calvin Klein Another things yang gue suka dari Chloe...
