It was such a great opportunity for me to be able to join the ASEAN Blogger Festival (ABFI) 2013 in Solo, Indonesia. I was fortunate to attend such event in Kuala Lumpur and Bali, few years back, so I can be able to say that now I’m part of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian [...]
Now that most of my gadgets are touchscreen, it’s natural to wanting a touchscreen Ultrabook for my daily use. And finally I got to experience it with my new Acer Aspire S7. It’s using the powerful Intel Core i7 and Windows 8. Hottest things combined in an already stylish, ultra-thin Ultrabook. The first difference I [...]
Saya merasa di Indonesia, menulis belum mendapat ruang yang cukup di sekolah. Padahal saat ini semua dilakukan dengan menulis. Mulai dari menulis email, menulis pesan via whatsapp/bbm, ngetwit sampai update status. Semua membutuhkan keahlian menulis. Jika tidak biasa menulis, bisa-bisa yang ditulis akan menimbulkan kebingungan dan salah kaprah banyak orang, pesan dalam tulisan tidak akan [...]

“I have longed to make the acquaintance of a “modern girl,” that proud, independent girl who has all my sympathy!

I was in a movie when @AlexisBrille chat me, showing her new blog, new videos, new tutorials, and I remember my own blog. The last time I change the theme was a year ago and I think it's time for a little bit of 'redecoration'. So, even though I was enjoying the movie, at the back of my mind, I can't wait to go home. I've been wanting to do a single column blog and I've found a suitable Theme for that. I tweak a little bit, making my new logo, choosing slim web font as I like, fix menus, widgets and all the details. And I'm done. It is important for me to make a progress in my life, that would give a positive impact for my next plan. After completing a book of 80 poetry with Hanny @beradadisini for 5 hours on Saturday, as silly as it might sound, this new blog look, is how productivity looks like to me.
I was interviewed by Marie, a student at the French university “Sciences Po” in Paris who’s been very interested in SouthEast Asia.

Ternyata banyak kesempatan tak terduga datang saat kita ‘berani kotor’. Itu lah kesan dari buku ‘Cerita di Balik Noda‘ by @FiraBasuki yang saya baca tadi malam. Buku ini berisi kumpulan cerita pendek yang inspiratif yang dikumpulkan oleh Rinso, beberapa di antaranya adalah karya penulis idola saya mbak Fira Basuki. Membacanya, saya jadi teringat teman saya Lenore [...]
