How to celebrate Birthday?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 21:02:00 +0700

Today is my birthday!! I am so happy ^^
Thank you for those who wish me a happy birthday. Thanks to God.. I can still alive and celebrate my birthday with dearest people in my world :)

Let's get back to the point.. Birthday is something special. Lots of pranks and surprises, also many gifts. But some probably bored with that birthday party, want to try something new, out of box, extraordinary..

So in this post, I will write down several things you can do in your birthday. Relax guys, I've already done all of this thing ;) (at my bday or my friends bday)

Birthday lunch/dinner either with your loves one or family. You can try new restaurant with a great view. Because you want a different scenery. Maybe on the hill, or amazing view of the cities. Anyway, it's the more common way to celebrate your birthday.
Double or triple dates ;) I've tried this and it's fun! you can hang out at pizza restaurant and just chill. It's relaxing and you can make a new friend :)
Go to fashion show. Seriously, this is AWESOME! I've just tried this with my boyfriend. He's adorable, he doesn't know that much about fashion but that's okay. That's why woman exist :)
Go to exhibition. Well, the fashion show also had exhibition too. So it's a plus plus ;) You can buy things even you cannot buy the fashion piece.
Karaoke is one fun way to spend your time. Shouting your frustration or just hang out and get a sore throat. LOL
Get punk'd!! Your lovely friends probably set an evil thing, all you have to do just go with a flow. Seriously, they make the event, plan ahead, just do it for that day only. Simple.

Sometimes you think, well my bday isn't so bad at all. Dude! It's an awesome thing, because you can live another year/day. You must thank God that you can spend a little time with your precious people,, Birthday is special because people can gather again for one occasion and celebrate another year.

Edan...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 02:00:00 +0700

It's been a long time since I wrote in this blog. I was active in my other blog Tumblr. There were so many events, the big one was One Ok Rock latest album, 35xxxv. You can see about the album and my review in Tumblr. Right now I want to post something different. It's a joke.. If you are Indonesian, you probably wondering what this article about.

It's completely random and if you read about this.. You will learn

Edan is a word in Indonesia
Edan is a singer in Korea

Yep.. totally random. Edan in Indonesia is kinda like "Damn?!". I guess it's the closest meaning I could get. While in Korea, Edan is a singer..

Yep, true.. I done some research and guess what I've found...
Edan sang another track, 13. Begin Again (feat. 한나, Edan) – 최인희, 장경진 from My Secret Hotel OST.

It's not that I disrespect Edan. But I want to highlight that Even though the words are similar but they held a different meaning.

That's all my random post. See you ^^

She went quietly...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 21:14:00 +0700

I heard this one song by Charlie Winston, the tittle's "She Went Quietly". It's a nice song and for me, I can reflect to this song really well. Although she's surrounding by her friends and family, she cannot help feeling depressed, sad. Is it about work, study or just life.. We tend to face some problems and maybe it ended not so great. And when things started to pile up, we just need to do something to let it out. In this song, the women choose to go away without telling her family or friends. You can said she's running away, but for her that's what she needs to do, run.

I had the same phase too.. Depressed over things in life that I cannot control. I have some thought about running away. Maybe get a new life away from here. But my family won't let me alone, won't let me go. At first I hate it, but I know if they don't do that maybe now I'm in a wrong path, destroy myself.

Because life is unpredictable, at first it's sweet but then it'll turn sour..

We cannot predict what comes next, all we can do is live our life...

What is Happiness??

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 1 Oct 2014 07:03:00 +0700

Yesterday, I wondered what is happiness? What makes you feel happy? In what form happiness come?

As I thought about it, I started to questioning myself about my happiness. Am I truly happy right now? The naive-me probably would say "No, I'm not. I'm not happy." But now, I can say, "I am happy. Truly happy and I wouldn't replace it with anything in this world."

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. (source: Wikipedia)

For me, happiness is a warm feeling that makes me want to dance, sing, and shout to the world. Sometimes, I just want to see the sky and drown with this feeling. Whenever I see people happiness, I feel it too. And when I feel dejected, I miss those happy moments. That's why we must treasure those beautiful moments because it may not come again.

Bagaimana Cara Belanja di Amazon?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 16:26:00 +0700

Kadang kalau mencari barang yang emang ga diproduksi atau diimpor ke Indonesia pasti salah satu cara ya beli online. Situs yang paling sering digunakan ya Amazon.com

Amazon tuh udah didirikan sejak 1994 dan sampai sekarang mereka masih eksis (bahasa gaulnya). Berarti mereka trustworthy kan. Pertamanya mereka emang dibikin ya di US jadi yang paling besar Amazon US. Tapi mereka punya Amazon untuk UK, France, Canada, German, Italia, Spanyol, Australia, Brazil, Jepang, China, India dan Mexico, dan situs untuk Sri Lanka dan negara Asia Tenggara segera menyusul.

Artikel ini bukan menceritakan pengalaman belanja saya. Sebenarnya saya lagi mencari CD Guardians of the Galaxy - Soundtrack dan secara kebetulan (ga juga sih) saya menemukannya di situs Amazon.com. Senang? Gembira? Eitss, jangan dulu. Mari saya beberkan cerita saya.

Di Amazon ada keterangan barang yang dijual apakah baru atau bekas. Kalau di Indonesia mungkin udah aja bisa diakalin tuh info. Tapi kalau untuk situs ini, saya percaya kalau barang baru adalah benar barang baru. Harga untuk barang baru terkadang berbeda-beda setiap seller-nya. Untuk mencoba pertama saya pilih barang yang dijual Amazon.com LLC.

Menariknya untuk soundtrack film ini ada yang tipenya berupa Audio CD ada pula berupa Vinyl alias piringan hitam. Weeww.. keren ya.. Karena saya tidak punya pemutar Vinyl, otomatis Audio CD aja ya.

Harga untuk CD tersebut sebesar $14.67. Saya coba ubah ke rupiah. Jadi..

$14,67 * 11690 (kurs lewat cek di Internet) = Rp 171492,3

Saya cuma pikir.. okay, no problem. Berikutnya saya cari-cari panduan untuk beli di Amazon. Saya menemukan artikel ini (link). Cuma dibaca aja sih, mau liat-liat pendapat orang dan pengalaman mereka. Ternyata benar dugaan saya, ada biaya tambahan seperti membayar biaya bungkus kembali sebesar Rp7.500 per paket. Kenapa? Karena barang yang datang ke Indonesia di cek Bea dan Cukai dengan cara dibongkar bungkusannya. Otomatis perlu biaya tambahan untuk membungkus kembali. Biasanya akan dikasih berita dari perusahaan jasa pengiriman. Abis dibayar baru deh dikirim ke kita. (kata orang-orang)

Okay, langkah selanjutnya Proceed Checkout. Membuat akun Amazon, menulis nama dan lain-lain, terus menulis alamat kita. Eittss jangan lupa, ga semua barang bisa dikirim ke Indonesia. Saya coba-coba nih tulisannya International shipping eehh pas checkout tidak ada opsi pengiriman, itu artinya barang tidak bisa dikirim ke Indonesia. Saya tidak tahu ya kalau negara lain gimana. Alhamdulillah CD yang dijual Amazon.com LLC bisa dikirim ke Indonesia.

Setelah loading sana sini, akhirnya masuk ke halaman mau dikirim pake apa mba/mas?

Standard International Shipping - No tracking (rata-rata 18-32 hari)
AmazonGlobal Expedited Shipping (rata-rata 5-10 hari kerja)
AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping (rata-rata 2-4 hari)

Saya bingung memilih yang mana, akhirnya saya coba satu-satu. Pilih yang pertama harga pengirimannya sebesar $8,98. Bagaimana saya tahu? Karena harga total menjadi $23,65. Wah ternyata lumayan lah kira-kira 250 ribu rupiah nih. Tapi saya rada takut soalnya kita tidak bisa melacak keberadaan barang kita alias no tracking. Was was kan. Gimana kalau nyasar?

Oke, kita coba yang kedua yang rada cepet nyampe 5-10 hari kerja. Harganya ternyata $23,37. Wuih beda banget harganya sama yang opsi pertama. Harga ini juga setara harga CDnya, malah lebih. Tapi kalian ga was was kan plus ini termasuk cepet. Iseng-iseng saya coba yang terakhir. Saya kaget harganya sampe $42,01 dua kali lipat dari harga kedua

Dari situ saya mikir-mikir apa jadi beli barang ini? Akhirnya saya ga beli. Kenapa? Harga ongkosnya udah lumayan murah (kalau opsi pertama walaupun was-was) tapi saya mikir kalau beli di Amazon mending belinya banyakan. Antara anda pengen beli banyak barang sekaligus atau anda dan teman-teman beli barang di Amazon sama-sama dan bisa membagi ongkos kirim. Sepertinya itu pilihan bagus dibanding hanya beli satu CD saja.

Saya tetap berfikiran kalau Amazon merupakan salah satu situs e-commerce yang tepercaya dan merupakan senior dibanding situs-situs e-commerce yang lain. Mungkin sebagian dari kalian kecewa dengan artikel yang ternyata akhirnya tidak terlaksana (ga jadi beli). Tapi yah saya cuma membagikan pengalaman saya. Mungkin kedepannya saya akan benar-benar belanja di Amazon. ^^

It feels unusual for me to write an article in Bahasa. Since almost 90% article in this blog is written in English.

How to handle menstruation pain??

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:00:00 +0700

What is menstruation?

Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus. It passes out of the body through the vagina. (source)

It usually happens 3-8 days. It's normal. You don't have to panic when it's happened :)

For the first year, it doesn't come regularly.

Any complaints during menstruation?

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 22:17:00 +0700

it's funny!!

i know there's a lot of comments about this song but please guys, just hear the lyrics and the video. it's funny. she's showing us that she cannot dance like a pro but she can move and groove! some said singing bring us happiness and i think dance express those feelings.

the point in this video is..

she cannot dance!

she's a normal person like us. she enjoy the music and dance through it, even it's not like a pro..

i think it's a great complement for the singer that people enjoy their song ^^

and for this video, i dance!!

it means "GREAT JOB MS. SWIFT!!"

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Aug 2014 12:33:00 +0700

Breaking up is hard. That's what this song tell me. You thought that they were your true love and suddenly they left you. You just want to go back time and pretend it's not happening. But they don't come back. And you're still waiting. Even though your friends and people told you to forget him/her. You don't have heart to do that. You're thinking "maybe he/she will come back when they knew I still love him/her".

But that never happened and it's breaking you.

Sometimes I wonder, why The Script always make songs about the pain after break up. The song is sad but beautiful at the same time. I guess you can say I am their fans after this song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved"

Great song, great band -> The Script..

I recommended this song. ^^

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Aug 2014 12:24:00 +0700

I love this song. I heard this when I was in senior high. The simple melodies, his voice, the lyric, and the video just struck me.

If I lay here, If I just lay here.. Would you lie with me and just forget the world..??

This song has so many meanings, it could be about love. The three words, "I love you" describe it all but it's sometimes it's not enough. You're feeling for someone, you just cannot describe it in just three words. Well, it's one interpretation.

It could be about you want to cherish those moments with someone you love, someone special. You just want to stay with them forever. You just want to "lay with them" and "just forget the world".

Maybe it's about growing up. You feel that time pass so fast. You want to just stop the time and enjoy your life. Waste your time "chasing car", maybe it's about dreams. Thinking about our dreams and forget the life we have.

There're so many interpretations. One can be different with others. And I feel that too. The "me" in senior high listened to this song and "me" now has different thought. "Me" in the past felt that maybe it's about love, enjoy your time with someone you love. But I think maybe it's about growing up, cherish your moments now, and start chasing your dreams.

The conclusion is this is a great song, in the past and now..

Thanks for reading this.. see you ^^

How to Cope with Grief and Loss (of your loved ones)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 4 Aug 2014 14:21:00 +0700

You cannot prepared for what's coming to you or to your loved ones. Death is not something you can get away from it. Maybe you have toughen your heart, but when it happened, you just cry. Because when there's life, there's also death. You can celebrate life and grief for death.

You will blank for some reason, you cannot think what to do or say. Because some grief may come harder than the others. Grief for your dad or mom, your granny or your friend. You just have to deal with it.

First, it's okay to cry. Don't act your the tough ones. When someone dies, of course it's sad. Maybe you don't wanna cry in front of people. Then find some place to cry. Maybe the place you have memories of the person who die.

Second, pray for the person who die. It's relaxing to pray and knowing that even after death you can still care for her/him.

Third, get closer to friends or family. Because when the person who die is family member, it's soothing to have your family around you. It's the same if it's your friends. You can share memories, have a good laugh, and remember that you're not alone.

Fourth, focus on what's important. Like me, my dad had passed away just recently. It feels like a dream. After his death, I organized my life better. I see what is important in my life, what I need to do.

Fifth, get busy. It works every time I had bad things happened in my life. It's not good thing to do but it can ease my pain. Still you have to talk to somebody.

I hope that you can deal with your grief, your loss. I know it's hard when you see their picture, when you suddenly remember a memory about them. It's sad. You can be helped to feel sad at that time like that. But please don't feel that your life is over. There's people who deal with grief too. Like in my case, my mom, my sister, my aunts, and my uncles. We get together for 2-3 days, deal with our grief. We talked, laughed, and spent time together. It helps alot.

I know I am not a saint or someone that wise. But I have felt grief too. I hope you don't push people who love you and care about you. Because maybe you don't know that they deal with grief too. So take care of yourself and people around you. Thank you for reading this. It means alot. Thank you :)

John Venn birthday - Google's doodle!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 4 Aug 2014 08:02:00 +0700

It's been a long time since I posted here. Many things happened during that short period. Election has passed and they already announced the result. Also, my father recently passed away. It's shocking for me, because that week I have seminar on my final project.

My dad passed away on July 7th, 2014. On July 12th, I had my seminar and a week after on July 19th, I had session for the final project. It done pretty well. I almost cried there, it's just picturing me on the final year of my study in Bogor Agricultural Institute (BAU) without my dad there, it's not what I had in my mind.

Anyway, this day is the first day after a short holiday and it's Monday. Right on this day, John Vann was born. He's the person who made that Vann's diagram. At first, I didn't notice but the name, the last name was familiar.

It's an interactive Google's doodle. You can click the play button and it'll go directly to (look the picture below). You have to choose one of the options.

After the options have been choose. You can see the result. Like what I chose are, sea life and have a shell. The result is (look below)

It's a turtle. Quite impressive aren't they? You can reset it and done it many times. If you want to know more about him, you can see it here John Vann's biography.

Okay, that's a wrap. Thank you for reading this post. I am sorry if there's misspells or my English's horrible. Again thank you. :)

Indonesian Election Day

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 9 Jul 2014 02:00:00 +0700

Today is the most important day for Indonesian. They will vote between Prabowo and Jokowi to rule Indonesia as a president. It’s crucial, because the winner will be a president for 5 years. It’s not a short time, in 5 years Indonesia can developed or stuck. They have some incidents in their campaign. I think it’s never this exciting, well since the first time I vote. In quick count, Jokowi wins the election. But we never know till the KPU announce the next president.

First, let’s talk about Jokowi. From my point of view, it’s not right for a governor who still govern Jakarta to participate as presidential candidate. I don't know about the regulation about it. But don’t you have responsibility to Jakarta’s people?

Second, Prabowo with the issue about his job in military, Human Rights issue. They (media) said he’s the one who give instruction about the kidnapping. I think there is a news about he said about the issue is true.

Anyway, you can see that they plan to take their enemy down and it’s all about the people’s perspective about them. What people think is the only important thing here. Of course it is. I won't tell you which one I vote for. But right now, it’s rely on people hands. Hope for better and greater Indonesia!!

Thanks for reading this. ^^

I will also post when the result is out.

Brazillll - Google's doodle for FIFA World Cup 2014

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 10:00:00 +0700

I kind of forget to post this. Anyway how is the World Cup? It's such an unpredictable this year. You can see some great teams have a bad match. It's a shame. But if the World Cup can be predictable is not fun anymore. We need 'WOW' factor. Hehehehe..

Even though I'm not a football maniac, but I hope your favourite team can be in finals :)

Google doodle's - Again FIFA World Cup 2014

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 13:34:00 +0700

I hate it. I mean I love Google. But seriously, is it only me who is confused by this doodles? It don't make a sense. What is it means? I have tried to click it, but it only link to another match. Not what I need. It's like a miscommunication between me and Google. Bad guy Google!! :(

But I got to say, I like the animation. Not to much but enough. Anyway, see you next post. Bye bye ^^

Plan your travel - TripAdvisor

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 13:34:00 +0700

If you haven't read previous article, you can read that first or just read this article. Umm.. I am rambling again. So back again, this article's about traveling. It's more like planning.

Have you all visit TurisLokal? There're some differences between this travel site. First, TurisLokal is about the travel destinations in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the TripAdvisor's more like planning your travel, accommodations and of course the destinations too.

Second, TripAdvisor you can plan your entire trip, flight, hotel, restaurant in your destination. You can manage your budget with this site. At least you don't have to wander around and lost in new place. But TurisLokal you just read some articles that probably mention "how to get there" or "where's the restaurant".

Third, TurisLokal only comes in Bahasa Indonesia. On the other hand, TripAdvisor is in many language, more than 30 countries.

Forth, TripAdvisor has come with Mobile Application in iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. While TurisLokal only comes in website. The apps also free!!

Fifth, there's GreenLeaders Programme in TripAdvisor, so it identifies hotels and B&Bs that are committed to green practices like recycling, water efficiency and alternative energy. But there's no such thing in TurisLokal.

If you read it, you probably thinking that TripAdvisor has a lot to offer for traveler. I also think that way. But what I like about TurisLokal, it's made by Indonesian people. It maybe cannot compete with TripAdvisor, but hopefully it can reach Indonesian people.

Anyway, which one would you prefer TripAdvisor or TurisLokal?

RE.MU - Share your fashion style and your closet

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 14 Jun 2014 12:56:00 +0700

I stumbled to this website around last year. I almost forgot that I have an account in this website. It's cute website. You can share about your fashion style and closet. You can also buy product from each other. It's a brilliant idea. I love the design too. You can choose what type of product to showcase.

It's founded in 2013 by 4 people. Imagine that, what a creative idea they have. It's simple and clean. Nice layout. Very good. Well, I don't know any website like this, if you see similar website please let me know. I love try new websites and applications.

If you have very strong sense in fashion. Just share it to the world, with RE.MU. :)

in love with SwiftKey ^^

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 11:37:00 +0700

I have Samsung smartphone, and sometimes it's so slow that I want to throw it. It's not only Samsung, I bet when your smartphone done so many application in one time, it become slow too. So when I heard the news about SwiftKey became free, I am so ecstatic. I just installed it on Saturday and so far I love it.

What is SwiftKey? Here's the description from Google Play.

SwiftKey Keyboard is an intelligent app for Android that upgrades your device's on-screen keyboard, making it faster and easier for you to type. This free, award-winning app delivers smarter autocorrect and next-word prediction in over 60 languages. It’s packed full of customization features, including over 30 colorful themes, layouts for all screen sizes and devices, support for over 800 emoji, emoji prediction and much more!

Amazing that it include Javanese and Sundanese for their language library. But why there's no Japanese thou? To make it more confusing, it's including Korean. Anyway, I love it because it's a lot faster than Samsung Keyboard. Sorry Samsung.

You can also split the keyboard and drag the keyboard. It's easy, simple and fast. What more can I say? But if you don't like a plain theme, you can change it but of course not all of them are free. Yup, you have to buy it. Still, I love it.

In the article, it said that maybe SwiftKey will be in iOS. Well, we see.. If you want to get this apps in your Android devices just go to SwiftKey in Google Play

Thanks for reading this. Bye guys :)

World Cupppppppppp!!!!!!

I am not a big fans of football/soccer but I like watching football match time to time. The big event is always World Cup. Watching it with your family and friends, this event can bring people together. I think this is a good event. With all the supporters who watch in stadium or at home. The spirit is so high and you can feel the atmosphere even you only watch it on tv.

Of course this big event didn't go unnoticed by Google. Nope. They make a doodle of it. I got to say, it's a cute one. :3

You can see all the matches and the teams who compete here -> FIFA WORLD CUP 2014

Have fun watching it! If you're watching it live, please be careful and take care :)

Materials. Make sure you have all materials you need.
Get foods!! You need to think? Get foods on your table now.
Breathe. You're start to panic and it's no good. Come on!! You can do it.
Relax. Get into comfortable position. If you're working in front laptop, take a nice seat.

TurisLokal is new face for traveling in Indonesia. It has simple web design and nice articles. I'm rarely go to trip. Well, my life is always like that. But still I like searching about new place, new restaurant. For my experience with searching about traveling..

Nice website, but maybe they need some modification. :)

Anyway, thanks for read this article. See you ^^

Foxit or Adobe?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 9 Jun 2014 15:37:00 +0700

Do you get many assignments and they all have to be in pdf? People said "get me the pdf" or "do you have the pdf?". PDF is document type like doc. But why people talk more about pdf?

First, Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. (source: Wikipedia)

So we cannot change anything in pdf. That's why people use it. When we open doc in our laptop, it could be that the software version of ours is lower than the person who gave the document. That could lead, several problems with layout, some graphic won't come out, and etc.

Now, I will get to the software. There're many software to read pdf, such as Foxit and Adobe. This are 2 software which widely used by people.

Foxit Reader

As I read in their website, Foxit Reader is small, fast, and feature rich PDF viewer which allows you to open, view, and print any PDF file. Unlike other free PDF readers, Foxit Reader also includes easy to use collaboration features like the ability to add annotations, fill out forms, and share content with social networks. It is designed to meet the PDF viewing needs of enterprise and government organizations, making it easy to deploy and manage in large enterprise environments. Foxit Reader can also be customized to specific product features and branding.

+ Open multiple PDF files in one window. If you open many files, it'll be in different tabs.

+ Add and manage comments in line, as note, highlight text, strikeout text or underline the text.

+ Convert a file into a PDF.

+ Create PDF from scanned documents, from content on the clipboard, or create a blank PDF.

+ Create and manage signature.

+ Create a new link in PDF.

+ Select viewed area in bookmark.

+ Attach file and insert image, audio and video.

+ Add stamps.

+ Send through email, Evernote or Facebook.

Adobe Reader

Adobe Reader is a free software from Adobe to open, view and print PDF files.

- Only open one PDF in one window.

+ Add text and placed signature.

+ Add comment in sticky notes or highlight text.

+ Export PDF files online.

+ Create PDF files

+ Send files in attachment or using Adobe Send.

+ Page Thumbnails. Go to specific pages using thumbnails image.

+ Attachments. View file attachments.

Foxit Reader (left) and Adobe Reader (right)

From my experience with both software, I prefer Foxit Reader. It's simple with many function and it can open multiple files. That is very important to college student like me and also to people who open PDF very often.

Anyway, thanks for read my articles. Bye bye ^^

Share Your Secret (w/ Mobile Apps)

Recently, I became so busy and forgot to post in this blog. Well, I have another in Tumblr. But it has a lot of post about One Ok Rock. I tend to go back and forth with this blog and the other. Anyway, I opened DailySocial for some news. Guess what it's about social media where we can post as anonymous. Hmm..

I found that is interesting. It's new concept. You can post to stranger without giving in your identity. You can freely post your mind. Freedom. Without the others to judge. They can judge but hey they don't know who you ar, pre say.

As in the article, there're 3 mobile apps with that concept.

Rahasiaku - Berbagi Rahasia (Android) It was made by Polatic in Android platform. The language is Indonesia. But I confused because the category is entertainment. Since the other apps category is social. But the function pretty much the same. The rating is 5 by 7 people. I guess because it's new only 10-50 download. If you want to post here, you must register weather with email or facebook account. And the Pesan fitur or message fitur is not complete. Too bad..

The main page. Looks simple.

Pesan

Be yourself. There're 100.000 - 500.000 people who had download this app. You have to register if you want to use it.
Whisper (Android and iOS) There're 1.000.000 - 5.000.000 people who downloaded this app. It's bigger number than Rahasiaku and Secret. Whisper is an anonymous social network that allows people to express themselves, connect with like-minded individuals, and discover the unseen world around us.

In my opinion, I rather use Whisper that Secret and Rahasiaku. Since in Whisper you don't have to sign up to post. But over all they offer same thing, anonymous post. Some with advantage over the others. Thanks for read this. Bye
