Almost everywhere on the side of the street in every town has it, a parking meter. Basically the same with everywhere in the world, you rent a place to park your vehicle to the landlord (usually government), and you pay for the rent fee.
I have to put coin(s) and the timer will shows up indicated how long I can park my car there. 25 cents is for twenty minutes; and honestly.. I don’t like this thing -_-” Continue »

Sometimes, they could amazed and deeply touched your heart, while in the other times they just trying to tutored your ears. Street Musician, is how they were called in English; people who are trying to expose their talent in music, and hoping for someone to appreciates them in any ways.
When I went to New York City last year, I met with an African-American people, who played Sax. It was around 8 PM. He did looked shining under the colorful light decorations from that window displays. He played “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “Fly Me To The Moon.” I watched over him from the other side of the city street that night. It was beautiful. I tried to get a snapshot but it was too dark, and too far for my compact camera that time xD; and I was too shy to take a shot of him from closer distance (*runs*). Continue »

I forgot where I read it, but in Indonesia, someone did took a survey, and it said that just 9 out of 100 people there who will hold the door for the next person behind them. Do you?
Right here, it’s already a part from the habit. Everywhere, when you walk behind the person who’s opening the door, he/she will hold it for you until you catch the door. For some people, they will do even if you’re still about 10 feet away from them.
“Thank you” and “You’re welcome” always take a place in within. It took a while for me to getting used to it. When I came here earlier, for few times I almost slammed the door to other’s faces, and when someone hold it for me, I was just passed through the door, and didn’t catch it lol. People stared at me like: “What planet did you come from?” Continue »

Finally, I made my own template. Took about 5 hours to play with the colors, and I came up with this one; and then somehow it looks similar with Cinila’s theme o.O;
Then, since I don’t know how to build a table less website, there’s nothing much I could do with this template. Basically it’s still the same with previous one, divided into two columns, nothing else. I hope I can learn a little bit more about table less commands, to make up this template.
Some people said if this template isn’t as “usual” as mine. Well, I’ve made plenty of “dark themes” in the past, and seems like I’m getting tired of it; I just fall in love with bright pastel colors lately (even for my desktop), so this how it looks like :-)
That’s all for now.

One of my skills is to write fast… Pathetic isn’t it? ;-)
But no, I really thankful for this ability that I mastered many years ago before I realized it. Not just fast, but also blind-typing. I wonder what I suppose to do with this talent (if you can call it as talent). I once tried to apply for a data-entry job (at government office) which has good salary, but I was rejected because I’m not a permanent residence, ha..ha..ha.. *sweats* Continue »
