Be A Traveller in Your Own Country!

16:39



gue lagi merencanakan untuk terbang keluar pulau, sendirian. ada 3 tempat yang pengen banget gue kunjungin:
1. Semarang. ketemu satu sahabat gue disana. dan mungkin akan nyebrang ke Bali,naik kapal.



2. Gorontalo. kampung halaman yang terakhir gue kunjungin waktu masih kecil :/



3. Palembang. pengen banget makan pempek asli Palembang, dan liat liputan di TV tentang kota yang satu ini. mama gue juga bilang "keren yaa, kayak diluar negeri"

  


semua tempat tujuan gue ini, panasnya minta ampun. ngalahin jakarta. jadi harus siap item. haha
gue akan bahas tentang salah satu dari kota ini nanti. setelah rencana gue berjalan pastinya. rencananya nanti 1 atau 2 minggu lagi. tapi mana enak travelling pas puasa. ga bisa wisata kuliner :/

gue mau kasih tips tentang  "10 hal untuk jadi backpacker yang asik"

1. bawa barang secukupnya.
pakaian, sendal/sepatu, alat untuk ibadah, handuk, payung/topi (antisipasi tiba2 hujan atau cuaca sangat panas), obat2an pribadi/umum (termasuk obat nyamuk), peralatan mandi, kamera, MP3 Player, charger/power bank, tas yang ukurannya lebih kecil (untuk cewek-cewek yang nggak mau ribet), isi dompet juga harus lengkap (KTP, ATM/kartu kredit).  kalian juga pasti ga mau jalan dari satu tempat ke tempat lain bawa tas segede gaban di punggung kalian.

2. Hemat!
makan makanan di pinggir jalan biasanya bisa lebih khas sekaligus bisa nikmatin keindahan pemandangan sekitar. pasti beda deh feel nya walaupun yang kalian liat itu cuma jalanan yg dilaluin sama kendaraan bermotor.

3. Belajar bahasa lokal
acara travelling lo juga bakal lebih seru kalau kalian bisa belajar bahasa lokal. yang simple dan bakal sering digunain aja, misalnya bahasa lokal kalau mau nawar harga barang atau semacamnya :p

4. Jangan terlalu banyak planning
 karena biasanya sesuatu yang terplanning dengan amat sangat baik bakalan gagal. setuju? :)

5. Buang rasa takut
kalo belum jalan udah parno duluan, "duh, gimana nih kalo gue nyasar?", "kalo tiba-tiba gue dicopet gimana?". palingan bakalan ended up di hotel. diem doang gitu ga ada kegiatan. ngebosenin banget kan? jadi buang pikiran parno kalian. di kota sendiri berani kenapa harus takut di kota orang lain?

6. Cari teman penduduk asli
lumayan buat tour guide kalian selama kalian berlibur. nggak perlu kayak Dora lagi apa-apa liat peta :p

7. Istirahat yang cukup
jangan maksain pergi ke banyak tempat dalam satu hari. selain kalian ga bisa nikmatin pemandangan yang ada, kalian bisa sakit. ga enak loh kalo sakit dan kita jauh dari orang-orang yang kita kenal.

8. Abadikan momen kamu, tapi jangan berlebihan.
mungkin agak aneh denger statement gue diatas. mungkin kalian akan mengabadikan hal-hal disekitar dengan kamera kalian tiap menitnya. tapi kalian lupa untuk benar-benar menikmati trip kalian di kota tsb. 

9. Malu bertanya sesat dijalan
jangan akut untuk minta bantuan atau sekedar tanya jalan ke penduduk lokal. ga sedikit orang yang akan dengan senang hati bantu atau sekedar jawab pertanyaan kalian kok :)

10. Sendiri/sama temen? ga masalah
masing2 punya keuntungan masing-masing kok. kalau sendiri, kalian akan punya lebih banyak waktu untuk introspeksi, lebih kenal sama diri kamu sendiri dan mau nggak mau kalian akan cari teman baru untuk nemenin kalian paling enggak jadi tour guide kalian.
kalau sama temen, kalian bisa membuat lebih banyak kenangan berdua, dan mungkin bisa lebih hemat karena satu kamar hihi

Keep Your Dream Alive

12:20



paling ga suka denger kata2 "kalo mimpi jangan ketinggian". lohh untuk apa pelit bermimpi? mimpi adalah doa dan bisa menjadi motivasi. jangan jadi orang yang pesimis dan takut untuk bermimpi!

 

really don't like to hear the words "do not dream too high". huh? why do you afraid to dream? dream is a wish your heart makes and could be a motivation. do not be a pessimist and be afraid to dream!

If your dream is big enough, the facts don't count." -Don Ward

Habiskan Saja Gajimu!!

17:40

lagi kerja tiba2 ngidam spicy wings nya Richeese Factory. alhasil, pulang kantor mampir dulu ke mall yang lokasinya kebetulan kepleset dikit langsung sampe dari kantor hehe
ini perdana makan disitu sebenernya. dan ternyata spicy wings nya bener-bener nampol banget. saya pesen yang level 3 aja udah hampir nyerah untuk ngabisin sayap-sayap pedas itu. kepedesan tapi bikin penasaran. :D

cukup segitu aja review soal richeese factorynya karena postingan saya kali ini bukan mau ngebahas soal Richeese karena batre saya low saat itu jadi ga bisa foto-foto makanan yang saya pesan :p

setelah perut kenyang, saya mampir ke TGA, iseng2 liat buku2 baru. iseng aja, gak niat beli karena novel dirumah banyak banget yang belum dibaca. beli nya sering tapi bacanya ga sempet -.-"
it's okay if you wanted to call me a "bookworm". I love books. I do really love books. kayak punya passion tersendiri kalo berada ditengah-tengah buku. orang-orang mungkin lebih pilih ke mall kalau lagi bete walaupun cuma sekedar window shopping. nah kalo saya lebih memilih ke toko buku :D

tiba2 mata saya tertuju sama satu buku. cover yang benar-benar simple dengan judul yang cukup bikin penasaran: Habiskan Saja Gajimu!!



setelah baca review singkat dibelakangnya, tanpa pikir panjang saya membeli buku tersebut. niat yang awalnya hanya ingin melihat-lihat pun hancur seketika.
"kalau saja penghasilan saya lebih besar, tentunya masalah keuangan ini akan cepat selesai."
dan
"kalau gaji saya sudah naik, baru deh saya bisa nabung dengan rutin"
dua kata diatas pasti sering sekali kalian ucapkan kalau keinginan kalian untuk menabung nggak terpenuhi.
buku ini sebenarnya simple dan mungkin hanya akan membutuhkan beberapa halaman untuk bisa mengerti apa inti dari buku ini. isi buku menurut saya terlalu berbelit-belit hingga jadi 174 halaman.
 
dua kata yang saya kutip diatas belum tentu akan terpenuhi apabila menjadi kenyataan. berapapun jumlahnya gaji pasti akan habis jika kita tidak me-manage-nya dengan baik.
daripada menyisihkan, lebih baik menghabiskan. toh walaupun niat awal kita menyisihkan, uang yang serahusnya kita sisihkan pasti akan habis juga. entah jelas atau tidak.

yang perlu dirubah sebenarnya hanya urutan cashflow nya saja.
beberapa dari kalian mungkin punya cashflow seperti ini:

Penghasilan                                                                                        100%
Sosial (zakat, derma, santunan, perpuluhan)                              2,5%
Shopping (belanja konsumsi, transportasi, listrik, telp)          57,5%
Cicilan hutang (kredit rumah, kendaraan, kartu kredit)              30%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saving (tabungan cadangan, Premi Asuransi, Investasi)           10%

berani bertaruh kalau uang yang seharusnya dipakai buat saving itu akhirnya terpakai dengan percuma.

nah, makanya urutannya harus diubah:


Penghasilan                                                                                        100%
Sosial (zakat, derma, santunan, perpuluhan)                              2,5%
Cicilan hutang (kredit rumah, kendaraan, kartu kredit)              30%
Saving (tabungan cadangan, Premi Asuransi, Investasi)           10%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shopping (belanja konsumsi, transportasi, listrik, telp)          57,5%

cuma urutannya aja kok yang diubah. angkanya belum ada yang dirubah.
pengeluaran akan tetap habis, tapi lebih terkontrol karena uang untuk saving pasti diamankan duluan.

mau tau alasannya kenapa?
beli bukunya dong biar lebih jelas info nya ;)

lagi-lagi menghiraukan blog ini.
kasian sampe berdebu saking lamanya ga disentuh. lagi libur kerja dan gak tau mau ngapain, akhirnya terdampar di blog ini.
agak bingung mau nulis apa di post kali ini. dan mungkin  akan bernasib sama seperti post aku setahun lalu yang agak trashy :p
tampilan blog ini ga akan diubah, masih sama dengan 3 tahun lalu, setia sama warna hijau yang menentramkan jiwa ini *apasih

well, banyak banget perubahan yang terjadi setelah post terakhir aku di 2010.

aku udah ga sama Ben lagi, pria asal New Zealand yang pernah beberapa kali aku ceritain di blog ini.
bisa dibilang kapok sama yang namanya Long Distance Relationship.enough is enough. hehe

oh, waktu itu aku pernah ngepost tentang hedgehog kan? iyaa, yang binatang impian aku itu. masih inget ga? nih postingannya kalo pada lupa hihi
oke, di postingan ini mendingan aku bahas hedgehog lagi aja yaaa..

tahun lalu akhirnya aku punya hedgehog yang aku beli pake gaji pertama aku :D
imut banget. jenisnya Salt and Pepper. I named him Casper. I took his name from Casper The Friendly Ghost. people might be scared if they see Casper because they probably think that his prickle is dangerous and he bites.
I can say they're all wrong if they think that way. he's really tame and cute. he never bites, just roll his body if he think something dangerous will happen. his spine is just like a new brush. it won't hurt your hand if you touch it. trust me.

here's few pictures of my Casper :)

 me and Casper. look how tiny he is! :D


I laid him down on my lap :)

took this picture after I took him a bath :D
yes, there's catfood :)

Geek On The Gig

13:55

Thursday noon..

woke up late and didn't know is there any class for today or not. zzz so i decided to skip the class for today. errrggh lazy me!
aaand the first thing I do when I woke up is : checking YM! (I was falling asleep again while chatting with my bf -__-) and then twitter.
got some mentions from my friends, asked bot the plan to hangout tomorrow. so I asked them is there any class for today and they say NO! hahahaha I forgot that Thursday and Friday is days off -.-"
I was watching TV for a while then here I am! sitting in front of PC, doing some shits with volume max music aaand home alone. lol HEAVEN! :p cleaning up my super messy files storage then I found some old pics and made me remember about the thing that I didnt do for a very long time, watching GIGS!

okay, lemme show ya..

#1st pict
(stand, left to right: Onad, ii, Jamal, Ezhat, Josaphat, Me, Rylo, Davi and -forgot his name-)
(sit, left to right: -frgot his name, Agung and Tebe)

this pic took @ BUGS Cafe, Pondok Indah on 19 Juni 09. Hemodialisis, A Charity For Brutz. (click here, I've ever been writing about this gig)
went there with Rylo, My brother. geez its been more than a year ago *smh*



#2nd pict
(left pic: Davi with My Brother :::: right pic: Josaphat with me)

and this pics took @ Spazzio, PIM on Saturday, 4 April 09. The Old Curse Of Death Launcing Album.
went there with my brother again. lol yea, he's also my mate to watch that :p my dad wont allow me to watch those gigs without him.


aaand the last one is,

lol its me!

its took while I was waiting for my brother to find the key. yea! our vehicle key! geez he's so careless at that time. I can't imagine how if we couldn't find the key.

lemme share you about my experience..
he realized that he lost the key while we've queuing up to get in the venue and we're almost in! he looks so damn panic. then I decided to get out of that queue and go back to parking lot. we've been looking for the key to the entire corner of the parking lot but we can't find it.

so, we go back to the venue and enjoy the gig until break time then go back to the parking lot (again). thats kinda made me exhausted cause the distance between the venue and the parking lot is soooo damn far. uugghh.. tried to find the key (again) but we got no result. then my brother asked to security at the parking lot to help us find our key. kinda relieving cause that security will help us.

so we go back to the venue aaand the show is getting rawks! lol they're really break our legs! hell yeah! good job, dudes!

after the show, we went back to parking lot. super exhausted and a bit mad with my brother cause his reckless. my brother met the security and asked bout the key. he coming closer to our vehicle then asked Vehicle Registration Certificate to him. my brother gave that then he checked that and also the licence plate. then he grobe his pocket ........ *drumrolls* TADAAA!!!! he show the key!! yea, the k e y ! thanks God! we said lotta BIG thanks to that security who saved our life!

we're so ready to go back home with big smile on our face (k, thats too much). awh, my brother start to panic again! oh, God! what else?

Rylo: "where's the parking card?"
Me: "WHAT?!! i dont know.. uhmm dont tell me that you lost the parking card again!"
Rylo: "uhhmm
*nod slowly*"
Me: "Dummy! *gettin out and searching again*"

10mins later, I found the ticket card on the ground, dirty parking card. then we went back home! whatta unforgetable random days!

enough for today, guys!
keep reading xD

HEDGEHOG!
whats on your mind when you read that?

this one? ===>


-----------------------------


or this one? ===>


-----------------------------

both are hedgehog. Sonic The Hedgehog in cartoon world and hedgehog in real world.


okay, lets straight to the point. im not gonna talk about cartoon here. so yea, lets talk about hedgehog for pet. have you ever imagine to have that pet in your house? YES for me. but poor me, my mom doesnt allow me to have that kinda pet :(

maybe some of you thought that hedgehog = porcupine. thats wrong, totally wrong.
they're really different and unrelated. porcupine's fur is really pointed, prickly and so damn dangerous whereas hedgehog's fur coarse but isnt prickly.


nahh, look at that one, thats Porcupine. really different with hedgehog, right? geez that soo damn scary x(


isnt hard to taking care for hedgehog, they eat foods for hedgehog or you just can give them dry cat foods. but feed them just in 15mins then take the food countainer out for too fat hedgehog.
and about their 'home', just put that on comfortable place, warm and clean.

simple, right?


thats why i wanna have them soooooo baaaad!
at least one of them! geez anybody wanna buy me one, maybe??

and awh you should see this pict,


her name is Akeara

looks at her innocent face.
also her fur color.
superb cute!!
for god sake, i want hedgehog for my pet!

extremely hanker for that since year ago!


anyway, my bf allow me to have that one someday.. awwh xD i love him ♥♥♥

okaay, enough to share about my dream pet.. lol


see ya on my next post, blogwatchers!

Long Distance Relationship

18:24

im getting bored (again) so I decided to post something (again, yea its my 2nd post for today). now im gonna post about Long Distance Relationship. that's aint a new thing in everyone love life. maybe everyone have to tried LDR.

Long distance relationship, that sounds hard but its worth to try. Well, its love. Ok,u can choose someone u want to love but u also cant help it if u fall in love with someone out there,livin in the different countries. Buuuuuttt, we’re livin in a modern life now.n thnx God for tht.Now u can use alotta things jst to get to them,such as Twitter, Ym, MSN, FB, nethin u want jst to keep contact with the person u love. Sounds cool, right? Well,it is cool xD
-Emily Jones (my friend from NZ)-

thats what my friend said about LDR thingy. agree? yea, im totally agree! that doesnt mean you're loser if you're on this relationship.

awh cme on,dude.its not tht i cnt hve a real gf hre.smetms smeone out thre n livin far awy frm me,attrack me.n its not bot physical interactions.in the end its all bot heart n love n thts all tht matters.u shud try to b open-minded n blieve tht nothin is impossible
-Ryan Reeves (my friend from NZ)-

dont choose to be in this relationship if you:

1. cant spare your time although just for one hour for your bf/gf to talk. moreover if you 're be able to not talk to her/him for days! geez thats terrible. you should TALK although you're terribly busy

2. oftenly get jealous. cause thats just gonna hurt you everytime he/she hangout with the opposite sex. thats gonna be so damn BLAH if you're forbid her/him to hangout. hey, you wont him/her to be antisocial, right?

3. oftenly have bad prejudice. try to be positive and trust him/her

4. aren't really fallin for her/him. A long distance relationship is difficult under even the best circumstances, let alone if you aren’t 100 percent committed to the person.



so, do you d a r e to be in a Long Distance Relationship? :p

#1 = Your Awesome Past Time

something that maybe you can't forget.
but it shouldn't be something that you could bring it back to your present nor your future.
yea, you know about "just forget your past" right? well, actually it's not that "forget".. it refers to "dont ever look back".


♥ ♥ ♥

7 Things That You Should Do About Your Past

1. just keep it on your best box, you could make that box as beautiful as you want.
2. lock it and throw away the key or you could keep the key on your secret place. once again, secret place
3. if you wanna open that box, make sure that someone on your present isnt around you.
4. open it carefully. recall your past, remember it, but dont let that past out of your beautiful box!
5. dont take sooo long to remember it. you just need your little time.
6. if you done, close your box then.
7. lock it!

♥ ♥ ♥

so, hows your feeling now?
better? :)
