Berkat Ngeblog: Pintu Kesuksesan

Berkat Ngeblog: Pintu Kesuksesan

To get your dreams, you must start somewhere. Saya ngeblog sejak tahun 2003, maka pantas jika saya disebut ‘tante’ dalam dunia blog. Awalnya sederhana saja. Saya sangat suka membaca cerita orang biasa seperti saya sehari-hari dan akhirnya saya juga jadi ingin sharing jurnal kehidupan saya. Salah satu orang yang sering saya ‘stalk’ dulu adalah @nuniek...
Using Internet to Decide What to Wear

Using Internet to Decide What to Wear

Most girls have trouble getting dress every morning. Even though they have a lot of clothes, they always say: “I have nothing on my closet!” – I said things like this too and my home assistant will say: “What do you mean? You have a lot of clothes!” :)) I realized that the trouble is...
Reflecting on ON | OFF Chat 2011

Reflecting on ON | OFF Chat 2011

I honestly believe ON | OFF Chat 2011 is one of the best ideas that come from ON | OFF 2011 team. We used to do pre-event roadshow to 10 cities with the name Blogshop. That’s where people are taught how to create a blog. We think, with 38 million people on Facebook, and more...
Cyber Bullying

Cyber Bullying

On Sunday one of my best friends, a well-known author, Mbak Alberthiene Endah (AE)  decided that she’s deactivating her twitter account @alberthieneE – you can read the well written chronology in @alderina ‘s blog. I really wanted to express something about this, but 140 characters can’t contain it and I find myself wordless. So now,...
On Regional Workshop - the Dynamics of Women in ICT sector in ASEAN member states

On Regional Workshop – the Dynamics of Women in ICT sector in ASEAN member states

I was invited by Ibu Betty Alisjahbana from Mastel to a regional event held in Jakarta about women and technology – or the right phrase is: Women in ICT, along with other delegations from all over ASEAN countries. It’s of course something that has been on my area of interest. Ibu Mari Elka, Indonesia’s Minister...
The Signs

The Signs

I believe in life signs and nothing in this world is a coincidence. Sometimes I believe it too much that my friend @b4nch4 would say, “You’re the only person I know that would buy gadgets by seeing signs!” :)) By believing in that, I become a calmer individual. Bad things that happened won’t pissed me...
Success = Less Sleep?

Success = Less Sleep?

I was introduced to someone at an event. My friend would introduced me as writer and entrepreneur. And I got this comment about my sleep. “Wow! You must have less sleep!” I thought it was true. But then I make a fun research on how much sleep I have per day. (Not much research, only...
Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire

Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire

Eid Holiday is officially over! Now, we’re preparing for the busy routine and I think this book by Mireille Guiliano: Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire (you can buy this book from Amazon via Kutukutubuku.com by emailing admin at kutukutubuku.com) is one of the best to read in these times. It’s like a...
Entrepreneur Story

Entrepreneur Story

So what is your definition of success? It’s really hard to measure. A lot of journalists would ask me about how much my companies make. And of course I’m not comfortable in answering that. But they need numbers to sell in their media. Apparently people still need that to be motivated. So they’d keep pushing...

The Dancing Leader

2 people in the photo above are working for me. In my company, they usually do admin tasks, routine stuff every single day. But I understand that they also have their own  passions. One love singing & music – want to become a star, and the other has passion in movie making. So, yesterday I...

ONline Movement OFFline Impact

I’ve been blogging since 2003. I really think that it’s one of my ‘lucky’ moment when I decided to ‘move forward’ with blog writing. It’s been a long way from 2003, my blogging style has evolved. From a diary type of writing to journal of reactions and now to expertise blogging, where I focus on...
