Gaya Hidup Hijau

Gaya hidup hijau atau green living, dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mulai banyak dikampanyekan dan dilakukan. Saya sendiri, dalam upaya ikutan kampanye gaya hidup hijau, sudah lama tidak menerima kantong plastik untuk membungkus belanjaan seperti buku, DVD, baju, dll. Lebih baik langsung menaruh belanjaan di dalam tas yang sudah kita siapkan dari rumah. Maka sewaktu Tupperware...

Jakarta Street Kids

In one fine afternoon, me & my friend @adhisaputra  walk across the Cikini street. We talked about writing, human interest, and everything in between.

The Amazing February

So I wrote about my progress in January 2011. Now I want to share what’s happened in February 2011. February has been fabulous for me! Not because it’s a month of love (they say), but because I (and friends) hosted 5 events in a month! For me, who was once a painfully shy girl and...

Children education in Indonesia

When you create excitement, education happened! That’s what I learn from watching one of TED videos about a professor who put PCs in slum areas in India and just let it there without doing any mentoring to the kids around. In days, even hours, a lot of them could create things using the computer. No...
