Have you watched Glee? I have and I totally LOVE IT! Glee is a musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States, and has been a phenomenon since its first season in 2009. During its first season, Glee received generally favorable reviews from critics and won several awards, including the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy (source: wiki).

Why Laughter is Important and 7 Simple Ways to Do it More

Do you remember the last time you laugh out loud? A real hearty laugh that made your body shake, your tummy felt tight, and your eyes water. Was it this morning, yesterday, or has it been a while? I was grateful to have that experience this morning. My friend shared a link to a very funny video which made headline in Indonesian news recently, and it made me laugh so hard. It felt awesome!

Find Happiness in Simple Things

This is an old post of mine.. I re-publish it as a reminder for my self and my readers to take those small steps..  little by little build happiness from doing good deeds to others, however insignificant it may seems. And also, don’t forget to say thank you to anyone who lend a helping hand or give you help when you least expect it. From my observation, many people (especially in Jakarta) are ignorant to both acts..doing good deeds and saying “thank you” for receiving one. Let’s start a new movement in this area, starting from ourselves!  Enjoy doing those [ ... ]

Euforia Tim Nasional Indonesia

Baru aja nonton acara Metro TV tentang “Nasionalisme 2×45 Menit”. Di situ ada dianalisa tentang Euforia Timnas yang terjadi di Indonesia, pasca turnamen sepakbola AFF Cup 2010. Bagi yang belum tau (red:kemane aje? ), performa tim sepakbola Indonesia yg mengesankan di AFF Cup 2010 benar-benar membangkitkan nasionalisme bangsa dan popularitas sepakbola Indonesia di mata masyarakat, bahkan dinilai menimbulkan semacam euphoria dimana Timnas Indonesia diperlakukan bak superstar oleh rakyat dan media. Bagi saya hal ini pun sangat membanggakan. Untuk pertama kali setelah sekian lama, rakyat Indonesia bersatu padu mendukung Timnas Indonesia atas nama Nasionalisme. Luar Biasa! Ada analisa yang cukup menggelitik [ ... ]

Is it wrong in my age to just live in the moment and not think much about my future.. Coz I kinda enjoy it.. *wink  It’s not like I plan this to happen, I don’t program my self to be like this..

I Love You Full Mom!

My Mom just visited me in Bandung.. I don’t know why, but even in my age of 20-something, I still get homesick.. especially with my mother.. I miss her a lot.. Like right now.. I miss her already.. It’s not that I am a spoiled kid.. I don’t think I am.. It’s just that, beside the constant love and affection, there are little things that she always do that is funny and amusing, and like what Javanese people say: “Ngangenin” (making you miss somebody).

Chillin’

I finally get my dream.. Laying down on the quiet beach.. Looking up to the sky.. Breathing the warm sea breeze.. Listening to the sound of the waves crashing to the shore..

Surrounded by friends, half of them are previously strangers that I met at the beginning of this trip. Yet, here we are, just 18 hours after, already developing a friendship, bonded by mutual passion in traveling and enjoying all the beauty the nature has [ ... ]
