Repost? Is it okay?

Today, I had my thought filled with this question. Is reposting okay?

Internet is so much advance and people all around the world can communicate even we are far from each other. You can share info and download this and that from the internet. Are you too lazy to shop? Or you cannot find the things you're looking from? Just surf the internet and shop online. So many things we could do online..

As I mentioned, you can share info to everyone all around the world. What I am doing right now, it's sharing info to you guys :)

Today is about REPOSTING!! Okay let's gooooo....

Do you know what "repost" means?
I google it and come to definition of "repost" from this link

Repost
  1. Post (a letter or parcel) for a second or further time.
  2. Post (a message, link, image, etc.) to an online location, such as a blog or social media website, for a second or further time
Yes, that is correct. "Repost" is basically you post again someones previous posts. In the world of blog (sound like a fantasy land), people tends to just post back someones posts. If you just read the definition, you probably said "ohh it's okay, isn't it?"

For me, it's not. Because there're people who spend more time just to make sure what he/she post's perfect. I know them and I appreciate them. Because I own another blog in Tumblr, if you have time or curious just click this link. 

The repost-er just post an article or picture or anything and called it their own. I know there're no rules over them. It's internet and it's wild. You cannot control people who read your post. You cannot control people to not repost. Even though there's no rules, at least, you can appreciate them by linking their original post, write down the source, or in Tumblr just REBLOG it :)

Well, is it harsh? to write it in CAPS LOCK and Bold? But it's the reality, you can just click the reblog in Tumblr. write down the source. I think if you just repost it, it's like cheating. And you don't write the source of your answers right?

The bottom line is..
Please do not repost, just reblog or you can write down the source. If you want to be appreciate by others, start by respect and value people work and effort.

I cannot change what people think. They might hate this article and consider it boring, waste of time. Well, sorry guys, you can stop reading when you see the title. Why you read it, if you don't want to. That's silly.

To end this article, there're few words from one of my friend in Tumblr, elsie. Her posts got a lot of repost (not reblog).
What you are doing is reposting when you should be reblogging. When you repost, you are uploading someone else’s work onto your tumblr as your own, and this is wrong. So please take down all the reposts and just reblog from the original source. Thanks, it would be much appreciated. Also, changing your user name doesn’t mean it’s okay.

 Thank you and enjoy the rest of the day. See you ^^

I L-O-V-E Wattpad!!

The title too much isn't it. But it's describe a little of what I'm feeling now. It's like the holy grail for people like me who like reading (a lot!!). Well, yeah I'm not the smartest people but I like reading. It's comforting. You can lose yourself in the story. But don't lose your mind (not yet hehehe)

Okay let's introduce wattpad first..
Pretty simple logo. According to Wikipedia, Wattpad is a writing community in which users are able to post articles, stories, and poems about anything either online or through the Wattpad app. The content includes work by undiscovered and published writers. Users are able to comment and like stories or join groups associated with the website. Around half of the users are U.S. based; most users also come from the U.K., Canada, the Philippines, Australia, and more.

And boy, it's a lot of writers with amazing stories. Duh!! I discover them this year around last month. It's amazing. I have read a lot and there're so many. If you have time, bored, just click Wattpad. Search for romance, snobby, humor, anything!! 

The writers also so dedicated. They want to be better, and I love see their passion on writing. I am not good at writing. That's why I start to write blog more. To overcome my dead brain which cannot function when it comes on writing. (hehehehehe)

If you guys want to start making your own stories in Wattpad and please let me know. I will be delighted to read your stories :) 

See you guys ^^

Note:
Pssstt.. They have mobile apps for it too ^^
And I like it. Simple and practical.

Houndstooth popularity

houndstooth

Houndstooth, hounds tooth check or hound's tooth (and similar spellings), also known as dogstooth, dogtooth or dog's tooth, is a duotone textile pattern characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes, often in black and white, although other colours are used. The classic houndstooth pattern is an example of a tessellation. (source: Wikipedia)

Why I am writing about houndstooth? I love fashion and see what's new in fashion. There're some trend but what I want to try is this houndstooth trend. 

A little history explanation, Houndstooth checks originated in woven wool cloth of the Scottish Lowlands, but are now used in many other materials. In an early reference to houndstooth, De Pinna, a New York City–based men's and women's high-end clothier founded in 1885, included houndstooth checks along with gun club checks and Scotch plaids as part of its 1933 spring men's suits collection. (source: Wikipedia)

So it's has been 80 years and we can still rock it!! What a timeless piece..
I will highlight some favourite pieces with houndstooth pattern..
  1. Shoes!! I love shoes. Every woman at least have 4 pairs of shoes.

  2. Houndstooth bag? If you are afraid wearing big trench coat or dress with houndstooth, you can rock it with a nice bag with this pattern. You can be trendy and casual at the same time, not over the top.

  3. Blazer, dress, shorts, skirt.. houndstooth can be everything!! All you need to do is paired it. You can paired it with white shirt, some accessories, nice shoes.

    Other things. Like a hat or even a phone case or nail art!!

Studying in Senior High and College

Whether you're in senior high or college, the most important thing is studying. But every students have their own style in studying.  For me, my style in studying doesn't changed so much. As usual, I take important note in every classes and do the tasks. When it's near tests week, I just review them and do some exercises.
Even though my style doesn't changed so much, the difficulties of the tasks is getting bigger in college. Sometimes I have to put an extra effort in getting the tasks done. In my major, computer science, you have to present a final project at the end of the lecture. So I have to organize my time very carefully.
If you're still high school student, you have a lot of free time. But when you go to college, make sure to organize your time very wisely and carefully. Make sure you have enough time to enjoy college life ^^

Todoist for College Student ^^

I am not super busy or something. I don't join dozens organizations or student council. I am just a regular college student.  But I am clumsy and sometimes forget the simple job. That's why I always write my tasks in my notebook. Since I am lazy to bring it around. I search for a perfect mobile application. I stumbled an article in the past (I forgot the link) but one of the best application for a student is Todoist

Todoist: To-Do List, Task List


What make it perfect for me is the projects thing. Because I am computer science student, I always make final project at the end of the course. It's perfect for me. Of course, I don't know about you guys. The labels cannot be used for free. Hahahaha..
It cannot be denied I love free things, since that function is not free, I guess I have no choice. Beside I love this application for the free useful functions. One function cannot make some big difference, right?

Pros
+ nice task list
+ clean look
+ simple function (not complicated)
Cons
- the reminder a little bit lack for me
- maybe some push message for reminder

If you're interesting just check this.

So for me it's perfect for student. Even you're not that busy, it's good to be organized ^^

See you :)

In The 10 Most Popular Mobile Messaging Apps In The World we can see some of the applications that is used around the world.


In the picture, the app that got most user is Whatsapp, follow by Line and WeChat.

Well, what mobile apps that I used for messaging are Line, Whatsapp and Blackberry Messenger. What I like about Line is that they got some cute sticker characters. Like Cony, Brown, James, and Moon.


They all look soo adorable :3

In Indonesia, there're some who still use Blackberry Messenger. So I still use it too. And who don't like Whatsapp? I mean, almost everyone I know, they're use Whatsapp. :)
There're still so many apps for messaging. But I hate to open so many apps, I am lazy... :p
