Multimedia and My Best Friend

2009-11-12T19:35:00.002+07:00

My best friend works in multimedia. She is the best student of 2008. She is working as a designer now. Few of you might know her but some of you don’t. Anyway, working as a designer sometimes forces her to make a new website for her client. For example, few months ago, a client asked her to make publication for their new international club. They asked her to make the website too. She must search for the domain name and many other else. I helped her to find it. I suddenly remember about this since I read article about finding domain name for your client. I remember how tough we struggled to get the best suitable name for this company. But we did it! So now, it becomes a great memory which I really want to do it for more. I miss her so much. I want to hang out with her like we used to. I am just wondering when the moment will come.

I plan to go home next month and take the laptop. Lol. So I can be online everyday. Yay!!

New Way To Advertise

2009-11-11T18:21:00.001+07:00

I am curious about one article that describe about advertisement on brai n. Well, we all know that advertisement now has become the most popular things in this world. Let’s see from every new style of billboard and also new form of publication tools. New shapes from many new products and concept increase the willing to improve one’s ability.

Anyway, the duration of the advertisement on television are also increased. While the advertisement used to be last about 5 minutes, they started from 10 minutes now. They have another message which they tried to deliver through the advertisement. Okay then, let’s forget about television advertisement. Let’s talk about online advertisement, specifically, internet.

Wikipedia said online advertising inventory comes in many different forms. There are websites, banner ads, rss, blogs (like what I do - advertise on blogs), instant messaging, text links and emails. I am sure that there are another ways to advertise. There are other ways which we still try to figure out. While people used to listen to the radio or television to catch up with the latest news, people tend to stay online and get the updated news as fast as they can. The prices to be online are cheaper and cheaper day by day. It supports people to use it as a tool to promote many things.

Now, how about you? Have you use online advertising?

Public Transportation

2009-10-27T18:30:00.000+07:00

18.20, public transportation

I have been using oplet and damri for 5 months now, since I moved to this island. Frankly, I never imagine myself using this kind of transportation because I have my own motorcycle in my hometown. But everything's changing.

I - actually - really enjoy all the trip. I meet many kind of people everyday. I learn how to stand in balance when I have to stand at the damri. You know, sometimes there is no more seat when it's a high season. I learn how to say 'stop here' or 'left please'. Is it so difficult that I have to learn it? Yes! I can feel my sweat in all over my body when I have to stop the car. Now, I rule.

Learning takes time but the result is also worth it. I can't imagine what will happen to me if Oscar didn't ask me to be independent. I would not go anywhere but my boarding house.
Now I can go to the market by myself. As long as I know which car should I take, I will not lost in town.

So how about you? Do you use public transportation?

HRD and Shopping

2009-07-27T20:21:00.001+07:00

Hiya! Today is my first day working as a human resource development a.k.a. HRD. I enjoy it so much! I know that I am really tired but I am happy.
Anyway, I spend $50 today to buy clothes and shoe and hairnet. This is about the regulation in the company. I must wear formal shirt and black skirt. I must use hairnet. So the generous Mr. Sexy lend me his $50 so that I can buy those things. Shop till I drop!

Draw Us Near

2009-07-20T19:23:00.003+07:00

This morning, my 3 boarding house friends and I went to the plaza. Mr. Sexy joined us too. We had lunch together and we played together. Suddenly, Mr. Sexy had a pain on his left foot. So, after having a short discussion, Mr. Sexy sat in one the sofa in that mall and I spent the rest time with my boarding house friends. Feeling pity and worry, I called Mr. Sexy every 5 minutes to make sure that he is okay.

My friends and I played Dance - Dance Revolutions one time and then we went to the department store. I helped one of my friends to choose the best outfit for her. She wanted to buy a new dress. Soon after we finished shopping, Mr. Sexy called me and told me that he could not bear the pain anymore. So, we went home.

I was very disappointed at the first place because we could not having fun with my friends. After arriving home, I cleaned up my room and I took a shower. I washed my hair and I changed my clothes. Then I opened my opera mini on my cellphone.

I read several devotional and I am really blessed by those words. I read and read again. I read more and more and I am refreshed by those devotional. I know that the author did not write it for me, but it seems they did. God frankly says to me, "Hi dear, how are you today", and soon I know that God wants me to talk to Him. Thank you Lord.

Let us pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for every condition that draws us near to You. Thank you for every situation which shows us that You are working for us. Thank you for every reminder You give so that we could always rejoice You no matter what happens. Thank you Father for never leaving us and always being with us. Amen!

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon,

and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae;of David also, and Samuel, and

of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,

obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire,

escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong,

waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured,

not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings,

yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned,

they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword:

they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted,

tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts,

and inmountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all,

having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us

should not be made perfect.
(King James Version)

Job: The progress

2009-07-18T16:52:00.004+07:00

So, I had another test today and I had finished it this afternoon. They said that they will contact us less than one week. I applied for the position supervisor assistant. I could do the tests well (at least that's what I think). I didn't cheat and so the tests are done.

Soon after I left the building, they called me. They said the result of my test shows that I am suitable more in Human Resources Development. So they offered me the position as Human Resource Administrator. I agree. Then they asked me to meet them again to have another interview for that position. I will go there again for the interview next Tuesday.

Let's hope for the best and keep on praying.

Explosion at JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton

2009-07-18T13:42:00.003+07:00

I was informed by my mother yesterday that the television are busy reporting the news about the explosion in Jakarta. The bomber is in action again. This time,they exploded JW Marriott, the famous five stars hotel in Indonesia and also Ritz Carlton, the high end hotel in Jakarta.

This is the second time they explode JW Marriott. The first explosion happened on 5 august 2003. Here is the news as reported on CNN:

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Indonesian authorities
believe two suicide bomberschecked into the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta and carried out coordinatedbombings Friday morning, killing themselves and at least six victims andwounding more than 50 others.
A body is removed following the blasts at the Ritz-Carlton and the nearby J.W. Marriott hotels in Jakarta on Friday.
It is unclear what group is behind the attacks on the Marriott and the adjacent Ritz-Carlton hotel, Indonesia's National Police Chief Gen. BambangHendarso said at a news conference. He warned that the death toll could rise.In addition to their victims, the two bombers also died in the attacks.Eight American nationals were among the wounded, according to the U.S. StateDepartment.
Investigators are also analyzing closed-circuit televisionfootage from the Marriott that shows a man, sporting a baseball cap and pullinga wheeled suitcase, heading toward the JW Marriott Hotel's lobby-levelrestaurant seconds before the deadly blast.
Five victims and one suicide bomber were killed at the Marriott, according to police spokesman Inspector General Nanan Soekarna.
Minutes later, another suicide bomber struck the adjacent Ritz-Carlton,
killing one person and the bomber. Indonesian national police confirmed that the man seen in
the CCTV video, distributed by Indonesian television, is being investigated in connection
with the blast.
"We are suspecting the man in the footage because the time frame
matches with the timeof the bombing," national police spokesman Nanan Soekarma said. "It is obviouslypremature to confirm it right now as we will have to wait for the lab resultsand the investigation to conclude."Indonesian authorities have detainedseveral witnesses and others for questioning, and have sent forensic evidencefrom the scene for testing, a spokesman for Indonesian President Susilo BambangYudhoyono said."It's all being studied now," Dino Patti Djalal told CNN.
Yudhoyono warned that it is still too early to determine who was behindthe attacks."This terrorist action is thought to be the work of a terrorist group, even though it is not certain whether this is the terrorism which we arefamiliar with up until now," the recently reelected president said.Thebombings at the two luxury hotels -- which are connected by an undergroundtunnel -- happened shortly before 8 a.m. (9 p.m. Thursday ET), first at theMarriott and then 10 minutes later at the Ritz-Carlton, police officials said.
Both blasts struck the hotels' restaurants and several prominentinternational business leaders were among the casualties. Anunexploded bomb was found on the Marriott Hotel's 18th floor where severalsuspects believed to be linked to the bombings were staying, Hendarsosaid.Indonesian investigators believe the bombers checked into the Marriott on Wednesday and were scheduled to check out on Friday, he added.It isunclear how they got around the "robust security" at the hotels, according toAlan Orlob, security chief for Marriott Hotels. Ritz-Carlton is a subsidiary of Marriott. Orlob said there had been no indication of any "immediate threat inJakarta."
Security has been extremely high at the Marriott hotel inJakarta since it was struck by a car bombing in August 2003 that killed 12people.Suspicion immediately fell on Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), the Islamistterrorist network with ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network thatwas tied to the 2003 Marriott attack and the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings thatkilled more than 200 people, mostly foreign tourists.
Hendarso said the typeof explosives found were similar to those found in a recent raid on a home inWest Java that was linked to Noordin Top, a suspected leader of a small JIsplinter group that espouses the use of large-scale terror attacks to push forthe establishment of Islamic states in the region. So far, there has been noclaim of responsibility for the latest attack. Al Jazeera English reported that it was in touch with a JI member who denied any involvement in Friday's hotel bombings. The fatalities include New Zealand national Timothy DavidMcKay, 60, according to Indonesia's state-run Antara New Agency.
McKay -- theCEO of Holcim Indonesia, a cement company -- was at the hotel for a breakfast meeting with fellow prominent business leaders, the Jakarta Postreported.Indonesian media also reported that two directors of FreeportIndonesia, the largest copper and gold mining company in Indonesia, were woundedin the attacks on the two hotels.English soccer team Manchester United canceled its trip to Indonesia after the bombing. It had been scheduled to checkinto the Ritz-Carlton on Sunday.
Hotel guests said the first blast at theMarriott shook the building. The second blast at the Ritz-Carlton apparently struck the hotel restaurant on the second floor, according to witnesses. Theforce of the blast blew out the windows on the Ritz-Carlton's secondfloor."The shocking part was entering the lobby, where the glass at thefront of the hotel was all blown out and blood was spattered across the floor,but most people were leaving calmly," hotel guest Don Hammer said.
Greg Woolstencroft said he had just walked past the hotels to his nearby apartmentwhen he heard an explosion."I looked out my window and I saw a huge cloud ofbrownish smoke go up," he told CNN in a telephone interview. "I grabbed myiPhone to go downstairs ... and then the second bomb went off at theRitz-Carlton, so I then ran around to the Ritz-Carlton and I was able to findthat there had been a massive bomb that went off in this ... restaurant area andthe explosion had blown out both sides of the hotel."
Woolstencroft said he saw a body that "looked like someone who had been a suicide bomber or someone who had been very, very close to the explosion."The chief technology officer for a television station said he had lived at the Ritz for a year beforemoving to his nearby apartment, and had been impressed by the facility's security."I just don't know how someone could get in there with a bomb, given the level of security and screening that people have to go through," hesaid, citing armed guards at checkpoints and thorough searches of people, bagsand vehicles

I have resigned

2009-07-17T13:06:00.002+07:00

Thank you for all your support but I have resigned. Yes I know this is a bad news. I am so sorry for myself too. They has just told me that I should not teach. So I will assist them and I will not get paid. They ask me to learn but they don't know how long would it be. So I should work from 6.30 a.m. in the morning to 6.00 p.m. from Monday to Saturday and they pay me for $20 this month. The next month they will only pay me $40. So, since my boarding house cost $45 each month and I normally have to spend minimum $95 for foods per month, I think I should skip this job.

This morning, I had another interview and I passed. They asked me to come tomorrow to have a test. Wish me luck.

Love you all.

New Job

2009-07-15T13:45:00.003+07:00

Hi all!!

I have just finished performing myself as a teacher. many mistakes, yes. But I learn how to be a good teacher. So, starting from tomorrow, I will be working as a teacher and administrator. I should work from 7 to 6. Weird? Crazy?? That's what I think too. But the salary of a new unexperienced teacher is really low. I will get only $25 per month, that is why I should be an administrator too to get more $50. The standard salary here is really low. I am so sad that I regret the day when I decided to move. But after thinking and thinking again, I should take this job because I need a job. I hope that this will be my stepping stone to the better future. I am looking for another job too, because I need to shop. lol.

Anyway, I am thankful that I finally can work. Even though I am new in this field, I want to learn to do the best I can do. I probably will have difficulty to online since I work until night and this public internet is far away from my boarding house. I can't go out at night because Mr. Sexy says that it is dangerous. I want to keep in touch with you and I want to inform the progress. So, please pray for me. lol

Mr. Sexy's mom is getting better I think. Thank you for your prayers. I really appreciate it. The latest news I knew is they canceled the surgery because the Diagnostic Sonography shows no water in her lung. So, keep on praying.

Loving is Forgiving

2009-07-06T20:03:00.004+07:00

The first time we met them, we were happy. The first time we communicated with them, everything seemed good. We showered them with gentleness. We kissed them. We hugged them. We shared times with them. We understood them. We forgave them. We made a joke with them. Years after years gone by and everything become clear. They are not as perfect as we think. How do you feel?

Commonly, after we know deeper about someone, we find it difficult to show our care and love. It is difficult to say, "I love you". It is also difficult to say, "I forgive you". It is easier to say, "You used not to be like this!" or "I hate you" or just simply "Huh!!" We feel right and they are all wrong.

What does God teach us when we pray?

And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. Matthew 6:12 (KJV)

When we can not forgive ourselves, we can not forgive others. When we can not forgive others, we can not love them. This is true! If you say you love someone but you do not forgive them, that's fake!

For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." Luke 6:38 (KJV)

I am learning to forgive and forget. Yes, this is difficult for me but if I do not learn to forgive, how can I love others? If God forgive me, I should forgive others.

Now, I try to control my emotions. Yes, I am weak and I can't do it myself, but I am trying to make a good relationship with them around me. I am learning day by day and hope that I will be better than yesterday. I love my parents and I try to contact them whenever I have spare time. I ask them what they are doing and how they are. I ask my brother too about his study. I am far away from them but I keep my love. I do not want it to be fade away. I try to discuss many things with them and listen to them.

When something happened and I feel like they hurt me, I try to hold the emotion and after I close the phone, I pray. I ask God to control my emotion. I do not want to keep the anger. I do not want to keep the disappointment. I ask God to erase it. I say to God that I want to love them. I said "God, please help me. I do not want to hurt them. Please help me. Control my emotion."

It takes time but I am enjoying the process. I believe that sooner or later, I will have better relationship with my family and friends. I will grow up in Him and I will enjoy Him more.
