Social Media: Now and Then

Whadup wif Social Media??

After some time, akhirnya Oma mulai 'eksis' lagi di dunia maya.

Ternyata bener-bener ketinggalan buanyaaaaaaaaaak ya. Oma pikir cuma ada Friendster, Facebook, Myspace, Multiply, and that's it!

Ternyata ada yang namanya LinkedIn, Reunion, Hyves, dan masiiiih buanyak lagi. Can you imagine how fast this world moves forward? Unbelievable! Itu hanya social networking sites.

Social Media tuh ternyata buanyaaak macemnya. Ada yang namanya Social News Sites, Micro blogs (kayak Twitter, Plurk), Social Bookmarking, Multimedia sharing, Wikis,.. en you name it deh!

Mpe sekarang Oma uda punya:
1. Facebook
2. Friendster
3. Multiply
4. Twitter
5. Plurk

Yang laennya ya cuma liat-liat doang. Not ready for commitment yet :P

Tapi beneran ya, Oma ngga habis pikir, this world is changing rapidly. Jaman 10-15 taun lalu, Internet di Indo masih pake telkomnet yang lambreta bambang. Jaman chatting-chatting di mIRC. Gila ya!

Ngga usa ngeliat jauh-jauh banget, coba bandingin dengan jaman pas Oma kuliah, 6 taun lalu. Di Belanda aja internet masih belum se-booming ini.

Pas itu Oma masih PJJ (pacaran jarak jauh). Dan bayangkan betapa susahnya. Messenger yang paling IN pada saat itu ya cuma MSN. YM masih belum se-booming sekarang. Skype masih belum ada! Kalo mo webcam-an. waktu itu Oma pake NetMeeting. Blog masih belum ada, so, Oma masih punya beberapa buku diary. Youtube atau Last.fm masih belum se-update sekarang (dan of course pas itu internet connection masih lambat), atau malah belum ada ya? So,.. dulu dengerin musiknya pake Discman atau MP3 player (yang harganya masih mahal), dan harus beli yang anti-shock, karena kalo dibawa jalan-jalan

Unbelievable!

Jadi ngga berani bayangin apa yang akan terjadi taun depan. Atau, akhir taun ini.

Weleh, weleh,....

So, Social Media, Welcome to my life! ^^

emang ni. kebayang gak sih beberapa taon lalu kita masih nggak mengenal yang namanya internet, dan bisa idup baek2 aja. sekarang, sehari nggak pegang internet, gak buka FB, or gak posting di plurk, rasanya ada yang kurang. teknologi...teknologi... membuat orang semakin dekat, namun juga berjauhan pada saat yang bersamaan...

God's Plan for My Slippers

Look at my cute slippers! Lucu banget, kan! Slippers ini diberikan sebagai oleh-oleh, dari seorang sahabat yang pada saat itu baru pindah ke New Zealand . Kalau saya tidak salah, 4 atau 5 tahun lalu slippers ini diberikan. Saya adalah orang yang practical . Boro-boro pakai slippers di rumah, sandal jepit biasa pun tidak! Di dalam rumah, kami biasa nyeker alias tidak pernah pakai sandal. Jadi si slippers domba Selandia Baru yang baru ini resmi menjadi penunggu lemari baju. Setelah Axl lahir dan beranjak sedikit dewasa, slippers ini ditemukan tanpa sengaja. Axl suka sekali dan kerap memainkan slippers ini. Namun lagi-lagi, setelah beberapa minggu, si domba kembali menjadi penunggu lemari. Anak balita itu sangat gampang bosan! Sampai 1 bulan yang lalu. Di salah satu tempat ngantor saya yang baru, saya harus bekerja di ruangan yang super dingin! Tiba-tiba, saya teringat akan slippers domba ini! Ternyata benar, slippers ini bisa menghangatkan kaki saya dengan sempurna. D...

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The Bright Side

Always look at the bright side of life - Monty Phyton This song has been sung during the Olympics closing ceremony last year; and this has been my cheer up song ever since. Thus, referring to my earlier blog about how I was not happy with the way we got married, well, I tried to look back and to see the bright side of that circumstance. So if I could share a few things, which might be helpful to you, who are in the middle of preparing a wedding, here they are: 1. Wedding dress I was really happy with my wedding dress. I love the designer, Fifi Firianty , which was very helpful and very professional, and of course her work is stunning. From the first time I met her, I knew there was a click. So, if you look for a designer, who has a European style, please do consider her. But just some tips, make sure you ask to have you dress fitted one day before the wedding. I had it measure 3 days before the wedding, but in the last 3 days, I ate almost nothing. So this dress...
