Transjakarta Oh Transjakarta...

Mungkin memang telat banget kalau g bilang g baru suka sama transjakarta sekarang. Tapi memang itu yang terjadi. Akhir-akhir ini g seneng banget jalan2x naik busway... dan moga2x ada waktu luang untuk keliling gak di rute BlokM - Harmony doank... walau keliatannya... bus rute ini memang paling nyaman dan bersih dibandingin rute lain. Iya gak sih?

Apa sih fun nya? Gini, dengan 3500 kita bisa pegi cukup jauh... dengan cukup nyaman. Dari pada naik si blue bird... huahaha.. tapi ... memang agak repot ke blok-m nya kudu naik metro mini yang katanya banyak copet.

Sex & The City

Yesterday, I watched this movie. It was good; nice look & good philososphy, wished I saw it with my best friends in Bandung. The most fun was how we got the seat! It had been 2 days went to XXI and the tickets were already sold out! However, the girls were really want to watch sex and the city. So, yesterday, from PIM we ran to Plaza Senayan, and finally we got the tickets! It was worth it!

Paulo Coelho

I have started read his book "alchemist" since years ago and now I am still struggling to finish it. My mistake was buy the Bahasa version which's difficult to be understood.

2 days ago I bought a book about his quotes collection and it is very inspired. I has not finished reading it yet... but there are some staying on my mind.

"Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?" - Eleven Minutes

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

That is really true... based on what I have been trough...

"In his or her life, each person can take one of two attitudes: to build or to plant. Builders may take years over their tasks, but one day they will finish what they are doing. Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls. Life becomes meaningless once the building is finished. Those who plant suffer the storms and the seasons and rarely rest. Unlike a building, a garden never stops growing. And by its constant demands on the gardner's attentions, it makes of the gardener's life a great adventure." - Brida

It's hard huh?

But, for me, one of the best is :

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

How great the universe will conspire to help us! I am keeping that as a faith on my mind.


There are still a lots of his inspiring quotations... you can see it on the link I give or you can read the book...

I should finish reading his book(s)...

What I used to love...

Motret... motret... motret... photgraphy! That what I used to enjoy and love! I miss those time... walked around as a stranger, took my Nikon ... met new people... sometimes they just very welcome... sometimes not.

The greatest part doing it was when I met children... just ordinary children... who never fake their emotion and look great on pictures!

Now, I asked my self, do you still love photgraphy. The answer is I don't know. I have lost some part of my life. Left it away....

But, this is just one of them.

I really like this picture. The little girl just an ordinary girl... lived with her parents in kampung near Sungai Cikapundung... I used B&W film... just perfect!

i miss my guitar

Di Jakarta gak ada gitar... I miss my guitar...! Apalagi sejak kemarin makrab dan dengerin lagu2xnya Colbie Cailat.

cara praktis minum kopi tubruk

G lagi cari dimana belinya ya? Yang g tau ada di Starbuck dan Metro. Tapi mahal banget...

A good cup of coffee...

What is a good cup of coffee?
Hmm... kayanya tergantung kapan minumnya.

Pagi-pagi enaknya minum kopi tubruk Aroma (50% Arabika dan 50% Robusta). Begitu juga kalau lagi hectic harus lembur. Kopi tubruk itu gak terlalu keras dan terasa lebih nikmat dibandingin kopi buatan mesin expresso.

Nah, kalau mau yang lebih keras, minum aja expresso. I don't really like it actually! Gue sih lebih prefer cappucino atau latte. Terus ditambahin caramel juga enak (misal caramel machiato starbuck) atau butterscotch (butter scotch nya Mr. Bean). Enaknya diminum saat santai nongkrong atau sambil belajar.

Ritual gue setiap hari adalah minum kopi tubruk atau susu kopi (pagi) lalu minum lagi sekitar jam 3an. Kadang minum kopi tubruk, kadang beli di cafe, kadang kopi instant.

I know that instant coffee is not good for my stomach! I know it!!! My dad always told me! Tapi, kadang kalau lagi sibuk gimana donk? Selama maag gak dibikin kambuh kadang gue minum Indocafe Capucino (campur susu biar lebih enak) atau nescafe ice.

Terus, kalau mau bikin sendiri, g seneng pakai susu greenfield - susunya gak berbau. Jadi gak ngeganggu rasa kopinya. Terus, biar manisnya gak nyegrak, g minum pake brown sugar. Kalau di rumah, g seringnya bikin kopi pake expresso machine besar. G juga punya mesin yang lebih kecil, tapi tetep aja listriknya besar. G lagi berandai-andai untuk punya coffee machine untuk bikin regular coffee... nabung dulu lah ya?

Jadi, minum kopi yang enak tergantung situasinya... dan tentunya tetap harus pake kopi yang berkualitas bagus.

Kalau mau ke cafe, harus pilih2x deh. Cafe yang okay so far adalah Starbuck, Ngopi Doeloe (Bandung). Cafe yang g blacklist adalah Oh La La. Berapa kali ke sana, makanannya gak enak, kopinya gak enak sama sekali, dan servicenya payah. Serta mahal... terus excelso juga udah mulai diragukan nih. Di Bandung enak.. tapi di citos kopinya juga gak enak.. makanannya juga kurang... dan mahal. Ngomong tentang mahal... artinya jika g bandingin sama cafe lain, yang harganya mirip.. tapi rasa dan servisnya lebih baik.

Oya, kalau lagi gak ada kerjaan, g juga suka bikin expresso pake ice cream (es krimnya beli di PT Rasa Bandung atau Baskin Robbins). Beli yang vanila ya! Terus, dicampur sedikit rhum... hmm.. enak banget.

G gak suka minum kopi bareng dengan makanan lain. Gak cocok aja rasanya.

Kalau makan produk dari kopi... yang enak itu Tiramissu nya Pak Kamal di Istana Dago Bandung, Wienner Melange-nya Braga Permai ....

Apa yang bagus dan yang jelek dari kopi?
Jeleknya dulu ya... kopi bisa menyebabkan ketagihan dan deg-degan (nervous). Jangan minum kopi pekat kalau mau presentasi...
Bagusnya... kopi bisa membuat gue semangat, bertenaga, dan sehat untuk melancarkan peredaran darah. Percaya gak percaya... juga bikin awet muda dan kurus.

Gila neh... I really love coffee... can't leave without it!
