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! She who, happy and self-reliant, lightly and alertly steps on her way through life, full of enthusiasm and warm feeling; working not only for her own well-being and happiness, but for the greater good of [...]
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.
On my Discover Bahrain trip, I was one of 20 delegates from 20 different countries around the world. So it was a very dynamic group. As soon as we met as a group, it is clear that I become more quiet. In contrary to my usually cheerful & chatty blog posts and tweets, it has [...]

Like a soulmate, it’s so easy to fall in love with Bahrain. I never thought my 12 days trip to Bahrain would left me with, not only high quality networks, but also a lot of insights, true friendship and deep thoughtful memories. At first, I didn’t know much about Bahrain. The only thing I know, [...]

So, I assumed we all survived the Mayan Apocalypse :P Let’s continue living. It’s the time of the year to review my 2012 life. The highlight of 2012 was when I open my hijab fashion boutique SalsabeelaShop.com – learn a lot in the process about fashion business and having fun cultivating my creative fashion side. [...]
Tidak ada nyamuk yang terlalu kecil untuk membuat kita gatal kalau tergigit. Suara dan tindakan kita, sekecil apapun, matters. Beberapa minggu yang lalu, wanita yang saya kagumi, Ny. Kardinah Soepardjo Roestam, yang biasa saya panggil Tante Dien, meninggal dunia. Saya merasa sangat kehilangan. Beliau adalah wanita yang sangat inspiring bagi saya. Ibu Kardinah dikenal sebagai [...]
Indonesia is the home to world’s fourth largest population of young people, according to the World Bank. I think at least 40% of Indonesia population is under 30 years old (by Indonesian law, ‘young’ means under 30 years old, by the way, that could be different in other countries, for example in Brunei, young people [...]
