Additional Income

Even by blogging you could gain additional income. Let us see this blogger. His name is Raditya Dika. He won the Best Indonesian Blog 2003 from Flyingchair. Guess what, he managed to create his blog into a book.

I should tell you that his blog is extremely funny but it's only for someone who understand Indonesian.

I recommended you to at least read his book (though myself haven't had one yet, :p)

You can try to log into his blog, but apparently he is smart enough (read: has definite idea in business) to not archieve his previous published blog.

So, you can gain income by blogging, just be good and be creative. Well, now I have to lament when will someone offer me something like this.

Envious

What is an envy? Is it dangerous? Is it contagious? Sometimes I felt it also, well many times if u must say honestly. It dwelled in your heart. You want to get rid of it, but you can't. It's just a small feeling which u let to grow time after time. When it's getting bigger you can't do anything about it.

Do you think it's bad or not? Like envy of your successful friend, but it could motivate yourself to be a better one. Or you envy someone who had partner in their life which you couldn't do, and do nothing about it?

Well, bottomline for me is you have to look into each case of your envy. If you can take the positive of them, take it, but if you can, get rid of it right away before it consumes you.

Second one is a charm

Last Sunday, I got free tickets from Cinemags, indonesian movie magazine, to watch Batman Begins. Well I think I still like the film. I was trying to find a bloopers in that movie, and still hard to figure it out.

Internship

I think it's nice to be able to learn a work environment before you actually graduated. You can know the schedule hour and will have to learn to adapt with new environment. Luckily when u get the intern maybe u might be able to continue working there.

However since it's only the second week of my intern, so I still feel eager about it, maybe when u check me a month later, I will be bored.

True Love

translated from song by Franky Sihombing

When I contemplate, my life with You
In many times I abandon You
I walk alone as if I could do that by myself
When my burden gets bigger, it makes me further from You

But there is love which never fade away
A love that I acquire from You
It has been proved to conquer the spread of time
You died for me and scarifice for my soul.

Harsh Judgement

I've been wondered cause there's lot of people who judge others from their point of view and it's not even right. When they were wrong, they wouldn't admit their mistake and let things goes with time. It's even not solving the problem. How can one's do that? Evenmore they might be little harsh for me.

Graduation, Two Weddings, and A Midnite

Saturday is always the busiest day in Bandung. Not just because the new highway from Jakarta was opened, but there's lot things to be done.

First event was my cousins graduation. He was ahead of me. Congratulation bro. You are the sweetest and nicest cousin one ever had.

Second event were two weddings. First one was a great one. I mean the food. Zuppa soup was delicious. There was an unique ceremony while the bride and the groom were singing in front of the people right when the ceremony began. The groom in the stage and the bride at the door. They sang while walking to the middle. It's a new concept to me, at least. Second wedding was my 2nd degree cousin. She had a nice wedding, too bad the place was too small.

Last event was a midnite of Batman Begins. Damn it was good. You even won't realize that almost half the film there still not in the Gotham yet. It's really great voice of Batman. Christian Bale is rock dude!!!! I can't believe he could produce that kind of voice. Deep and really meaningful. Well, too bad I have heard some spoilers before. Anyway the actors were brilliant. Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine. How could Christopher Nolan collect them all? Just can't wait to see the sequel movie. Another film are ready to premier.

Am I being warned?

Last Saturday, I was hit by a public transportation. I got out from that car and wanted to cross the street. I thought the car still stopped while waiting for passengers to come in. Then it hit me and I fell down in a mud. It's not big deal, just a little scratch. But I was shocked. Until then I haven't thought about it, but my mother said that God warned me. I kept thinking, was she right? Maybe I have abandon You or neglect You. I'm not sure. I just hope I'm still there and doing what I believe and has my faith on.

Pseudonym

I just heard a conversation when I took a public transportation. They were talking about someone who make lots of cash.

(not in the right conversation, but sort of)

Man A: Well, I think Sultan Halsanah Bolkiah also in that list.
Man B: How about Indonesian? Nothing in there?
Man A: No, there's also someone named William Gates.
Man B: What is his connection with Bill Gates?
Man A: I'm not sure. I think they are still relatives or it's his nephew.

Well, all I can do is smile a little.
