Book: The Midnight Library

It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves.  So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them.  This contains spoiler of course.  Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born.    The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to.

Short Visit to Bentoel Museum

  This is part of improving my photography skill. So my friend, Sunan, will be included here.   It was a sudden decision. So we decided to visit Bentoel Museum in Malang. It's like House of Sampoerna (which I never visit and only plan to visit but no action). Why did we want to visit this museum? Because the museum is actually the house of Bentoel's founder.

Hoax Yang Makin Menggila

  Kabar burung atau yang sering dikenal sekarang dengan sebutan HOAX mencapai level yang sangat melelahkan. Hoax memang sudah ada sejak dahulu kala, sejak dari awal ku mengenal HP. Hoax yang sering terjadi adalah SMS yang tersebar menggunakan nama nabi atau tuhan atau agama dan mewajibkan orang yang menerima SMS tersebut untuk menyebarkannya sebanyak puluhan kali. Jika tidak disebarkan dalam hari yang sama maka penerima pesan akan mengalami nasib buruk, bahkan meninggal dan tidak akan pernah bahagia. Serem kan? Jadilah diriku yang masih SMP kala itu bingung sekali apa yang akan terjadi padaku dan juga orang yang kukenal jika ku tak segera broadcast pesan biadab tersebut dalam hari itu. Jikalau pulsa sedang cukup, maka sesegera mungkin kusebar. Jika tidak, yaaa segera ku berangkat beli pulsa. Bodohnya aku. Nah, masuk SMA, ku mulai bertanya-tanya apa iya kalau pesan itu nggak disebarkan kita bisa celaka? Karena penasaran akhirnya ku tantang diriku. Tapi doa dulu dong, "Ya tuh...
