Hi, Im back!

Wow! It’s been a long time.

There are so much story unwritten. I don’t know where to start, but i just wanna say that “when your real life are getting better and better, you forgot a toxic called the internet. Wait, I mean blog”

Shortly, I went through incredible things and it changes who i was into who i am today. A better person with a better life. So much better until i couldn’t ask for more.

I guess i might start to write again soon. Spreding good stories with positivity and a brand new me!

So, see ya! :)

Privacy is an Illusion

The title was just coming whilst searching several things of my personal interest. I’ve been looking this social phenomenon since i was teenager. I was.. I think I still am the part of this social behavior changes. Change is not a necessity, it’s not also a thing to deny, BUT change is a need. Everything remain to grow, and change makes you growing. Either to be worse or better, it depends on how you react on it.

So what have been changed for the past 10 years? Im not going to talk something heavy like US roles in ISIS threats or How SEO can be the ultimate key in achieving digital marketing targets. NO. Not my expertise. Thanks.

Im just going to talk about privacy. In this abusively social media invasion era, do we still have any? I think we all agree to say yes because there is always a an option for private account mode. We might also say yes because you need to sign the agreement privacy policy to sign up.

But really?

If you think you have no privacy because your slutty enemy can see what’s on your mind on twitter, or your annoying ex-boyfriend can stalk on your facebook, or anyone can see all bragging pic you post on instagram even if you locked em.  It’s not!

I knew it for long ago, but it doesn’t really matter because ain’t no actress, politician, or billionaire. I am just an ordinary civilian. Considering that we are all being spied by the unknown sights is really harmful.

Let’s take a look on some facts i found

social networks, smartphones, clouds etc. Things we thought were helping us with communication are actually a dangerous device that make us lack of privacy.

Who doesn’t love social media? We need to be wise while using it. But we can’t control it. We never know that our information is being sold for digital marketing or government needs.

Do you feel of being used? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! We can just switch off our locations feature but unfortunately we need the google maps or social transportation application. Congratulation we are all being systematically addicted and depends on it

So what now?

IT engineers will probably say encryption. But for an ordinary civilian, it’s not that work. Hard to understand yet costly. Because reclaiming ownership our data and demand transparency of every service we use become a luxury.

But that’s the best thing to defend your privacy right in this digital invasion. Or simply accept it or leave it?

You decide. You act.

Tentang Pertanyaan

Ada banyak hal yang terlintas di benak saya belakangan ini. Ada yang hanya sekelebatan lalu hilang. Ada yang datang dan tak mau menghilang. Terjebak dalam relativitas ruang. Mengawang.. Tidak tenang. Ingin pulang tapi enggan. Ingin tinggal tapi takut dikecewakan. Tuhan, apakah saya masih pantas diberi bala bantuan? Ike 12.12.15 06:48 pm

GLAMPING

Spontaneous idea does real!

Berawal dari iseng pamer foto di sebuah tempat wisata yang menyediakan area perkemahan di Bandung, akhirnya cewek-cewek rempong latah ingin pergi kesana. Punya teman yang sumbunya pendek emang lumayan seru buat diisengin, sekali sulut apinya nyala. Hihihi.

Ngobrol ngalor ngidul di group membuahkan hasil yang lumayan gak mungkin. Yaitu: Ayok Kita Camping!

Well, mengingat 4 tahun lalu rencana liburan bareng ke Jogja gak semulus yang direncanakan. Ada aja 1 orang yang gak ikut. Benar aja, kali ini juga minus 1 orang. But the show must go on

Tujuan kita adalah Bumi Perkemahan Ranca Upas. Letaknya kurang lebih 1 jam 30 menit berkendara dari Bandung. Tepatnya di daerah Ciwidey, gak jauh dari Kawah Putih. Kalau naik mobil, masuk tol dan keluar di pintu tol Kopo. Setelah itu, ikuti jalan menuju Soreang - Ciwidey.

Setelah rencana singkat kurang lebih 2 minggu. Akhirnya kita tiba di Bandung. Lumayan banyak drama yang terjadi, mulai dari batal konvoi, capek dan kesel tunggu-tungguan, ada aja lah.

And finally we’re here!

Our white tent

Setelah sampai kita semua langsung ketawa. Aku nyeletuk “Yah ini mah glamping (glamorous camping) bukan camping. Masa sampingnya ada colokan buat nge charge hahaha”

But anyway, kita menikmati sore hari disana dengan ngobrol dan bercanda tentunya gak lupa foto-foto. Glamping banget deh, pacar saya masih sempet-sempetnya bawa modem portable, jadi semua bisa wifian. Camping macam apa ini -___-

Sementarara para perempuan menyiapkan makanan untuk dimasak nanti malam. Para pasangan sibuk nyiapin api unggun dan masang gas untuk kompor portable. What a precious moment! Padahal masaknya cuma sosis bakar sama mie rebus tapi rasanya enak aja.

Ini pemandangan kita di malam hari, sayang bintangnya gak keliatan karena mendung tertutup kabut.

camp fire and its reflection from the artificial lake at night. What a wonderful night!

Sunrise, Haze, Mountain and Fresh air, perfect morning!

I wish we could repeat it 10 years from now. When we become wifes and the boys become husbands <3

23:23

People say that 23 is a crucial age. That moment when you graduated from a fancy degree (mine is 21), or while you already settle for your first job (mine is 22), and while you step your feet out into a first level of adultery circle.

I found out that people at my age, and... Probably on my peer group realize that we are too old for those overnight chit chat at bars, dancing like silly Miley, randomly drive to nowhere for killing time, etc. But we are also too young for marriage life, buying first property, and redundantly think about future. I felt like in between. Either to stay reckless or ummm.. Responsible of my maturity.

So, these are things that happened at my 23 last year:

1. I don't care what others think of me anymore 2. I enjoyed myself so much 3. I spent much money to travel 4. Solo Trip is a new addiction 5. I had my first Investment 6. I accepted bad things easily 7. I gained better things in return unexpectedly 8. I traveled around my country alone 9. My first abroad trip is Singapore (alone) 10. I knew myself better 11. Joined a new social community 12. Master Degree scholarship had driven me insane 13. I obsessively learned German 14. Family is everything 15. Randomly kissed a stranger at club 16. Dating out with 3 different guys in 3 different days in a row 17. I've finally found my mr.right.. Wait! No. I dont like that terms. He's my other half 18. I dare myself to do certain things 19. Books keep my sanity 20. I learned that "to grow is to let go" 21. I knew who my real friends are 22. Sometimes it’s important to be bad 23. “Go on a trip to know someone’s truly self” is not just a sentence, IT’S EFFIN REAL!

Bye Bye Comfort Zone!

“Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you. Does that make any sense?” If I Stay – Gayle Forman.

Of course it does! As well said by one of a book that can burst me in to tears, ada kalanya kita yang membuat pilihan dalam hidup kita, tapi ada kalanya pilihan-pilihan dalam hidup yang justru memilih kita. It’s like we have no other choices except being chosen.

Seperti beberapa hal yang terjadi dalam hidup gue belakangan ini. Khusunya pekerjaan. Tadinya gue merasa ada di sebuah titik jenuh. Dimana gue dihadapkan pada sebuah retorika “mau apalagi sih gue?” Karena dulu waktu masih remaja gue punya banyak mimpi. Satu persatu Alhamdulillah Haleluya Puji Tuhan bisa terwujud. It wasn’t easy for sure. But I made it.

Lalu gue bingung mencari-cari jawaban dari apa yang gue mau. Gue namakan ini proses pencarian mimpi baru. Karena buat gue ngejalanin hidup gitu aja tanpa punya target itu membosankan, kayak nggak punya tujuan. Tentunya mimpi baru gue bukan sekedar ketemu pasangan yang pas nikah lalu punya anak. Too common, dan tujuan gue nyari mimpi baru gak sesederhana itu.

I feel like I need something more! I shouldn’t feel comfort too long. Karena pada saat itu rasanya segala macam pekerjaan gue jadi membosankan dan gak menantang lagi. Sampailah gue di tahap berhadapan dengan pilihan yang tidak menyenangkan. Bertahan di tempat yang aman dan nyaman atau keluar dan berspekulasi, siapa tau diluar sana ada yang lebih baik lagi?

Sebagian orang mungkin memilih untuk bertahan, tapi karena gue lumayan sinting dan nekat akhirnya pilihan kedua lebih menggoda. Seriously jangan dicoba kalau belum punya perhitungan matang dan otak yang cukup gesrek kayak gue.

Then I took that risk. I switched my career. Did I survive? I don’t know yet but obviously I will.
