Cara Memilih Bacaan

Pulang - Leila Chudori Pengalaman gw mulai menyukai membaca karena bukunya yang bagus. Kata orang jangan judge buku dari sampulnya. Gw termasuk orang yang suka judge buku dari sampul. Tapi itu bukan hal yang utama dong tentunya. Itu hanya ekstra poin aja.  Pertama kali gw baca buku dan tiba-tiba suka adalah saat papa yang waktu itu pulang, bawain gw buku ensiklopedia yang isinya sejarah dan astronomi. Itu yang bikin gw langsung suka baca, karena materinya bikin gw berbinar. Itu juga awal mula gw suka astronomi.  Perjalanan sebagai pembaca tentu saja lama sekali. Beberapa genre gw coba baca, kadang suka, kadang nggak suka. Hingga akhirnya gw tau apa yang bikin gw akan baca buku itu.  "Halaman pertama tulisannya" Gaya menulis orang itu pasti selalu berbeda. Meskipun mirip dengan yang lain, pasti akan ada karakter pembedanya. Itu biasanya terlihat dari halaman pertama tulisannya. Bayangkan, meski materinya bagus tapi penyampainya nggak bagus juga nggak akan nyangkut di pemb...

Write your heart

Writing is all about heart. Nobody can force you to write, unless your proffesor who always force you to write your thesis and make it done on time. Really, nobody can force you, even when you feel you dont want to write, then you cant write.

Writing is a process. Process of thinking and the realization of that process. That process never be that simple. I realise that my writings isnt as good as others. But I also realise one thing that I love to write and show people. Like I write here that this blog may be ordinary for others but extraordinary for me. What that means? My writings might be a rubbish for others, but this is a part of my life. Part of my life that seems like a rubbish for others is something precious for me.

Yes of course this is better if you have theme for your blog. Maybe concern about politics, education or else, but mine is gado-gado. You know what gado-gado is??? That means I can write what I want. This is mine and I have fully my own right to make it as I want. If somebody says "Why dont you make money from your blog?". I can make it if I want. But this blog is my journal. A journal of my life. A journal about everything I see and I feel.

I dont expect mine have thousand of viewers in each article. I dont expect that. I just write something I see, I know, I feel, that might be informative and when people blog walking on mine they can find something they want. Sometimes there are no information about some important thing unless you experienced it (like Korean test, limit of information), and people passing by there, that already make me happy that something I write could help people. If they need further information, they can leave me email of course. But if not, then I think that what I write would be enough for them.

I wrote something and it published in local newspaper few years ago. And what I got as a feedback? I got money from university, yes because I make it. It doesnt much. But the most important feedback is people write me email and says what I wrote inspire them. I cant stop smiling that time because I know people got insipired by my writing. That makes me happy. Its not all about money, but heart and you know that what you write is useful for others.

I dont expect mine to be a trusted source for your thesis, since I dont write this to be a trusted source for thesis. I could make money from my blog, but not for this blog. This blog is pure my journal. Unless someone wanna pay me to write this blog, but still under my control.

Writing isnt that easy. If you are in the mood, then you can write 6 article in a day. But if not, you only write an article in 6 days.

You responsible for what you write. If you write something wrong and people share it, then you have to be responsible for that wrong thing. Thats why I always say writing never that easy. In this crazy world, people can sue you even you dont mean to offend but they feel offended for what you write.

Just... Write what you feel, what you see, and what you think. That is yours and you have your own control for it!

Have a nice day... it is raining in Surabaya

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...

Integrity and Honesty

Lembongan dan Ceningan Few days ago I picked up my husband from the airport. It was raining a lot so I had to go by taxi. We went through airport toll which I paid with my card. Then when we arrived, I gave him 20K for parking that cost actually 12k. Doesn't matter I give it with tip. So I didnt ask for change.  A few mins later I noticed a notification that said I got charged for 14K, the price for toll. I usually never notice any notification but that day was different. So I chatted him asking why am I being charged for toll that I paid myself. He said, and I quote, “oh that is automatically done by the app.” I checked on the app website it said that the app will automatically charge you toll price when the route it takes show that you’re going through a toll. Then I thought, “ah yea maybe he couldn’t change it.” So I told him, “alright sir then I will report it to the app so they can easily help me to refund the money.” You know what he said, “no please don’t mam. I will refund ...

Dapet Visa UAE (Dubai) Gampang Banget

Dubai creek Beberapa waktu yang lalu, kita pusing berat karena H dapet libur kali ini cuman 10 hari. 10 hari dari yang biasanya 14 hari. Akhrinya diputuskan untuk tetap mengambil libur tapi nggak ke Indonesia.  Ternyata, beberapa hari kemudian, dia bilang, kalau liburnya malah jadi 7-8 hari aja. Mau ga mau saya yang harus kesana. Maksudnya terbang mendekatinya. Udah milih-milih negara mana yang harganya rasional, yang ga banyak makan waktu buat terbangnya H, dan tentunya ga ribet urus visa buat pemegang paspor hijau yang ga sesakti paspornya H.  Btw warna paspor Indonesia jadi biru ya sekarang?? Pilihan jatuh ke Dubai. Pemegang paspor hijau harus bikin visa, ya pusing lagi deh cara bikin visa Dubai nih gimana. Apa iya sesusah bikin visa schengen, visa US, visa lainnya. dari persyaratan sih standar ya, termasuk  record  bank account selama 3 bulan. Emang nggak pernah bikin visa Dubai sebelumnya ya, apalagi H yang paspornya super sakti kemana-mana (hampir) ga perlu vis...
