K-pop Beauty? It's not difficult!!

K-pop (an abbreviation of Korean pop; Korean: 가요 kayo) is a musical genre originating in South Korea that is characterized by a wide variety of audiovisual elements. Although it comprises all genres of "popular music" within South Korea, the term is more often used in a narrower sense to describe a modern form of South Korean pop music covering mostly dance-pop, pop ballad, electronic, rock, hip-hop, R&B, etc. (source: Wikipedia)

The point is, now K-pop wave or Hallyu wave has affected the world. From Western World, Europe, and of course Asia. You can see some K-pop artist in Channel V - VCD. We cannot ignore the fact which shows that some K-pop artist done surgery for double eyelids or anything to make them like a perfect being. I sometimes see them like perfect Asian Barbie and I love Barbie, I want to be like them. But I am not sure I want to done a surgery. That's why I like to see Beauty tutorial for K-pop make up. 

There're some tv shows like Get It Beauty or Pony's Beauty Diary. I love to watch them if I have time. But if I'm busy, I just search them in YouTube. Guess what? I found them!!

Watch Get It Beauty [link]

What I like about Get It Beauty is they have blind test. So every week they have different category of beauty product. Like lip tint, eyeliner, and etc. in different brands. It's so interesting. I love the Make Up For Job Applicant. Love it!!

How to choose safe and clean food from street food vendor?

Do you know what is roadside hawker? Usually they are street food vendor, but sometimes they also sell clothes and tools. Sometimes they disturb the traffic and cause traffic jam. But they are very common in some Asians countries, like Indonesia, India, and others. What we love about them, they sell some good food and in some areas they are like traditional hawkers. It really shows the culture side of the country. Maybe they sell good food, but you must be careful with the health issue. Here I am gonna give you some tips to choose the street food vendor.

1. Buy food from clean street food vendor. Because the environment where food is made affecting food hygiene.
2. Don't buy it, if it don't have container and not placed on the table. 
3. Make sure the canteen, or any place where the hawkers is, are clean. Don't buy food near the garbage/ trash can.
4. Buy food from healthy hawkers. We don't want to get sick right?
5. Make sure the hawkers hold the food with tools or containers. It's not hygiene when the hawkers hold the food with their bare hands.
6. Choose cooked food. Make sure it cooked perfectly, not raw.
7. Buy food which is displayed, stored, and placed good and take notice if it's hygiene or not.
8. If we buy food with broth, make sure the broth placed separately.
9. The food consumption must be right.
10. Buy food which is safe from biological harm, chemicals, also secure from hair, glass shard, and also pebbles and dust.

VINCCI - Malaysia Footwear Brand

About a year ago, I went to Spore (Singapore) and KL Malaysia. It's a short trip. When we shopped there, we saw this VINCCI store. Of course we went in and bought some shoes. There're so many people because it's on sale. Figured.

VINCCI is the most prominent brand of the Padini family. A footwear brand that focuses on chic and affordability, most of its shoes are made from synthetic material. It also sells watches, sunglasses, PVC handbags and bead accessories. VINCCI was established to market ladies shoes, bags, belts and other accessories in 1986. (source: Wikipedia)

If you want to see the collection, just go to this link. Since 2005, the first VINCCI store in Indonesia was opened at Mal Taman Anggrek. In Indonesia, they used VNC for shoes from VINCCI.

I bought this shoes because, I don't know. I like it, I guess :)

And then I saw Justin Timberlake - Mirror Music Video. I just, woow, It looks like the same, from afar.

Anyway, bye bye. See you ^^

Who doesn't love cereal???

I love cereal!! Since I was a child, I ate cereal every morning. But when I was in college, it's kind of hard because I have to stay at dorm. Now, I have this love for Kellogg's Froot Loops..

It's delicious, and not so sweet, which I love about. Colorful and fun :3

I don't now, I have soft spot for Kellogg's.. I like Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes!! Who doesn't love Corn Flakes? It sound silly. But I know there're certain people who don't like eating cereal. I'm not gonna judge or something. Because I have some foods or fruits that I don't like. Like I don't really like pineapple, watermelon, durian, and raisins. 

A Kellogg's cereal and milk breakfast is nutritious at its most delicious. With every spoonful, it has protein to help rebuild and grains to help recharge your body. So go ahead, get reacquainted with your favorite bowl of crunchy goodness. It just fuels right. (source: Kellogg's)

Eating cereal is linked to a higher consumption of micronutrients as well as a lower fat and cholesterol intake. (source: link)

The point is "cereal is good for breakfast". It's lower fat and cholesterol. Also, if you want some more nutrients, just add fruits to it. Like berries, apple, banana. It's like a win win. You get nutrients from cereal and fruits.

So don't be afraid to go and try eat cereals. ^^ see you..

Uber @ Jakarta guys!!

Yeyy.. I got news yesterday, that Uber will be operated @ Jakarta this year. Hopefully this year. Are you guys excited? I am!! Wooo... Urg too much exictement... sorry.. let's get down to it..

What is Uber? 

Uber is an American venture-funded start-up and transportation network company based in San Francisco, California that makes mobile application software ("app") that connects passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire and ride-sharing services.The company arranges pickups in dozens of cities around the world.
Initially, Uber drivers had cars such as Lincoln Town Cars, Cadillac Escalades, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes-Benz S550 sedans.After 2012, Uber added a wider selection of cars to market to a broader cross-section of the market, called UberX. Cars are reserved by sending a text message or by using a mobile app. Using the apps, customers can track their reserved car's location.

Uber is evolving the way the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, we make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. From our founding in 2009 to our launches in over 70 cities today, Uber's rapidly expanding global presence continues to bring people and their cities closer. 

It's a great mobile apps!! we don't need to say where we going, how to get there, and for money, the charge comes to our credit card. Ride-sharing concept? Brilliant! You can asked for private drivers. Of course it's not taxi. But the drivers already had a background check so you can relax. I got to say, it must be interesting to be a driver ^^ (check this article)

But I don't know if they will be succeed in Indonesia. According to DailySocial, there're some regulation in Indonesia. Because Uber doesn't have commercial license like taxi, so they can be called "illegal taxi". Well, I am from Indonesia and I wonder what if there're crimes when passages ride with partner car (ride-sharing drivers). Anyway, Uber can faced some lawsuit if they don't handle the situation with the governor here (Indonesia). I just hope they have handled the problems before opening at Jakarta.

Psstt..

Uber_JKT is looking for interns for this summer. But you have to be fluent in Indonesia and English of course. You can send your CV to andrewkim@uber.com. If you want to know what jobs are offered, just go to this link.

That's it and have a nice day..

We need more storage!!

Yes, deep down inside, I know we all think, we need more storage. We have enough but not enough for our hobbies (maybe photography, movie, anything) or for someone with so much document. At some point, you begin to search for storage.

That's when cloud storage began to shine. Do you know what is cloud storage?

Cloud storage is a model of networked enterprise storage where data is stored in virtualized pools of storage which are generally hosted by third parties.

So basically you can store data virtually, not in your hard-disk. But to access it you need network, internet. It's an unlimited storage online!!

Personally I used so many cloud storage. Some for my college project and materials, some just my pictures because I tend to shot a lot of pictures back when I was in senior high. For now, I will write down some of cloud storage that I used ^^

1. Dropbox - Start from 2 GB (you can get more from invite people). I am quiet happy with it. Nahh, I just majorly happy!! I got 6 GB because.. ohh I don't know maybe because I sync it with my phone. LOL lame excuses.. sorry guys, i don't know the reason why..
2. Box - Start from 10 GB for free (according to their web). I put all my college materials and projects here. It's interface looks the same with Dropbox.
3. MediaFire - Start from 10 GB. People used it mostly to share their files with others because I think it's a lot easier. Thou I don't open it anymore.
4. Google Drive - Start from 15 GB. What make people use it, because it's synchronized with Google Mail. Google and their empire =___=;;;

So far? I like Dropbox because it can sync our photos from smartphone to the cloud storage. It's simple and easy. I hope this article can helped you :)

That's all from me. I hope I can see you tomorrow ^^

Public Speaking? Frightening?

I have been there. Where I had to conquer my fear of speak in front of audience. I took a class about the basic communication. It had a task, frightening task, public speaking. I was freaking out. I like talking, but not when all the attention is on you. I'm sure there're some who think the same. Now, I will write down about this particular activity.

According to Wikipedia,

Public speaking is the process and act of speaking or giving a lecture to a group of people in a structured, deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain a listening audience. Public speaking is commonly understood as face-to-face speaking between individuals and an audience for the purpose of communication. It is closely allied to "presenting", although the latter is more often associated with commercial activity. Most of the time, public speaking is to persuade the audience.

So, we can say that public speaking = speaking in front of people. It doesn't matter if it's a meeting, a campaign, a lecture, every kind of activity that make people speak in front of public, it's public speaking. (The way I said it, it's kind of confusing ^^;;)

Is it frightening? Yes. It is nerve-wreaking!!

In this article, I will give you some tips to help.. (I hope it helps)

1. you have prepare topic or ideas (sometimes you have to give a speech so suddenly. just make sure you have a clear idea) make sure you know what type audience you're dealing with.
2. master the topic. it helps if you master it, so you don't get nervous on stage.
3. practice in front of your friends and make them criticize you. because criticize make your performance better.
4. focus during the speech. if you start to think they stare to much, remember it's because you're the one who speak. it's not bad, it's good. you have their attention. well, to entertain the audience, you can pick a well-known topic, funny one, or interesting.
5. BREATH!! if you start getting nervous, just pause a second, take a deep breath and continuing your speech again.
6. It's okay to fail. Even though it's a bad speech, remember what you have done wrong, so you can fix it for the next time you try public speaking again. After all, practice makes perfect!!

That's what I think summarize my personal experience. If you have some tips, please just comment below. Thank you and see you ^^

What I Learned in College (Part 2)

This is the continuation from the last article, What I Learned in College (Part 1). I already give 7 things I learned in college. But that's not all!! Here's some things to complete the list :)

1. Exercise. If you think you can be slim, healthy and fit in college without some exercise. Boy, you're so wrong. I don't care if you are busy, just do 30 minutes exercise for 3-4 times a week. It helps you fit in college :)
2. Learning. If you have things to say, just say it. It's your own view and opinion. And everybody can speak out. It's not a crime. If you're wrong, take it as a personal learning. It's college, it's preparation before going to work life/ real life. It's ok to be wrong. 
3. You are not perfect, but you're unique. When you go to college, you can find some interesting people. They are from all around the countries even from other countries. That doesn't make you plain and not unique. Don't be shy and try to be friend with some amazing people. Don't forget, you're not perfect. If you get down, and look at your friends happy with their success. Remember, you're time to shine will come sooner or later. :)
4. Success will come. Just prepare for it..
5. YOLO. Enjoy your life. Take some risk. Look at some hobby. Do everything. Don't leave any regret.. You cannot turn back time. So just enjoy and have some fun. If you fall, just back up and keep moving forward.
6. Happy and grateful. Be happy in your college year. So when you graduate, you can look back and smile to the fun, happy, amazing adventure in college. Also try to be grateful for what you have. You don't know when your time is up. But you have to be grateful for each breath that you take, that you are still alive and be successful
7. Spend you time wisely. You can have fun and do crazy stuff but you have to be responsible because you're a student with projects and tasks. That's why you need to organize better..

Ahh.. I am so sleepy. Thanks for reading this article. Thank :)

What I Learned in College (Part 1)

I just read The 16 Most Important Lessons I Learned In College and I start thinking, within this past 4 years what did I learn in my College, Bogor Agricultural University. I'm still a computer science student and now working hard to graduate this year. Wish me luck. ^^

Anyway, I learned so much during my 4 years in college. Met some interesting friend and lecturer. It's all fun and exciting. In the article, she said that often we get a job in something totally unrelated with our study. It's true. Sometimes what we study is not what we love, it's just because our parents kinda force us (but it's for our own good) We only have to work hard and survive the college.

Now I will write down what I think based on the article..

1. Food!! We need so much food and snacks. After a long day, you go back to dorm or apartment, the only thing keep you sane is food. Believe me, when you're exhausted, you probably too lazy to go out. That's why you need food in your room :)
2. Fast food delivery. When you run out food, just dial for delivery. You don't have to cook, that's the best part. It's great if it's 24 hours. Right? hahahhaha..
3. Appearance. The article is right, appearance is important in certain time. You don't have to worry about it all the time. Example, for class just look presentable and clean. You don't need dress to impress for class, thou it's different if you have crush on someone :)
4. Keep in touch is hard. I fear that when I graduate, I won't be friend again with some of my friend in college. But I know it'll be the same as senior high to college, and junior high to senior high. You cannot be perfect all the time. It's the same as friendship, maybe you cannot be as close as before but you are still friend. Just need some work to keep the friendship but it's worth it.
5. Internet is entertaining. In my mayor, we love internet. When we stuck in some project, some homework, you can find the solution on internet. Boys love online game too. Not all of them. ^^
6. He/she always having fun. Maybe you are wondering, my friend is in different mayor and he/she looks like having fun all the time. He/she hang out every night. Not true guys!! Even it look like that, you probably don't know that they have a ton of homework, full schedule all week. The different is your schedule, maybe he/she have test when you have day off. It's college not senior high. You don't get the same schedule guys..
7. Google Translate and spell-checked are awesome. True, it saves me all the time. I'm an Indonesian. My main language is not English so I truly saved by Google Translate and spell-checked too ^^

Well, I will continue the article tomorrow. I have work to do. See you guys :)

you're on your own in the real world :3

Do you guys know? The title comes from a song. Paramore - Ain't It Fun !!

Even the Music Video is so much fun!! You should check this out,

Paramore - Ain't It Fun

Ain’t It Fun is the sixth track on Paramore’s fourth, self-titled, album. Hayley wrote on the band’s LiveJournal that the song is a message to anyone who sometimes forgets that he or she isn't the center of the universe, including herself. The song includes a gospel choir and some seriously funky bass. Hayley has said this song is the closest any Paramore track has been to her work with The Factory, a funk cover band she and Jeremy Davis were in prior to the formation of Paramore. (source: RapGenius)

Yeah, sometimes we feel that we are matters, while others don't. We are so big in our head, we forget that what we think and what actually happen can be different. You cannot predict future. You cannot undo the past. We can only pray to God  that everything will be fine and what will happen, it just happen.

You cannot be the center of the universe. Sometimes I do feel, what I want, my idea, is all that matter. It's wrong. But that us, human. We do feel like that. It's okay until it's hurting your friends and family, even yourself. When it happens just take a deep breath and relax. Try to put yourself in someone shoes.

It's okay until it's unbearable... and it ain't fun!!

Is that a dinosaur fossil? - Google celebrates Mary Anning birthday

It's fossil!!
I just notice the rocks form "Google" without the L. hahaha..
It's cute :3
Too bad it doesn't move..

Today, Google celebrates Mary Ann birthday, she's a fossil hunter. That's why the doodle is a fossil. You probably wondering, who is Mary Ann? What makes her special?

In IBN article,

Mary Anning was a fossil-collecting woman in the 19th century whose discoveries challenged the predominant thinking of her era. She was working class and didn't start out as a scientist but she was collecting fossils to sell them to make a living and fell into this scientific discovery. 

Anning was credited with the discovery of several dinosaur specimens that helped in the early development of palaeontology. It is said that Anning spent a year extracting the dinosaur fossil from 205 million-year-old Blue Lias cliffs on the beach.

What? She is amazing!!

She's not a scientist but she discovered fossil. In Wikipedia, they said she couldn't participate in scientist community. Well, it's probably hard for a woman. In the past, they couldn't have a bright career, had to be at home. Mary Ann wasn't from a rich family. She struggle financially and she did not always receive full credit for her scientific contributions. Indeed, she wrote in a letter: "The world has used me so unkindly, I fear it has made me suspicious of everyone."

She's born in 21 May 1799 and died at age 47. The cause of death was breast cancer. It had to be hard and painful. I imagined live on 18th - 19th century and have a breast cancer without a cure. Maybe there's some medical treatment. But it probably not as advance as today.

Her work and dedication make realize, you can do everything, even you're a woman.

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. 

   

   left [link] and right [link]

   
   
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.

   

   [link]
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.

After 4 years (more/less), you eventually will face a graduation. It's exciting but sad at the same time. Because you finally grown up now, face the work life.

What you can do is make as many sweet and great memories before graduation. Here it is my list, what I want to do..

Things I want to do before graduation:

1. Exploring my campus
2. Enjoy all the cafeterias in campus (we have 8 faculty)
3. Take picture of my faculty (because things gonna be changed but pictures stay)
4. Enjoy a day in SC (Student Corner)
5. Go to campus gym
6. Spend my time with my friends
7. Hangout more in campus (see your junior and friends)
8. Make a good relationship with the lecturers

This list will be added more..

Because actually, I'm gonna face graduation soon..

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 :)

Mobile Messaging App?

In the past, we communicated with text message (SMS) or phone call from our mobile. Nowadays, we use mobile apps on our smart phones. Why people love it? It's because we can send as many texts as you want, stickers, free call, and even video call.

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

MIKU EXPO 2014 in Indonesia - MIKU is not an anime chara

I got this news since May 9th. There's an email about MIKU EXPO 2014 in Indonesia. I am super ecstatic. But I don't know if I will go there, since I'm still busy with my final project. I have my goal, I want to graduate this year. Wish me luck :)

Some of you probably wonder, who's MIKU? Well, I have a friend who assume that MIKU is an anime character. Well, she is not an anime character, guys!! She is a character, true, but for singing voice synthesizer products. That's why there're so many characters but MIKU is probably the most famous one.

Another celebration by Google - Happy Birthday Dorothy Hodgkin

Google doodle to celebrates Dorothy Hodgkin's birthday

Today, Google celebrates the birthday of Dorothy Hodgkin, a British chemistry. Do you wonder who is Dorothy? If you look on Wikipedia,

Dorothy Mary Hodgkin, (12 May 1910 – 29 July 1994), was a British chemist, credited with the development of protein crystallography. She advanced the technique of X-ray crystallography, a method used to determine the three-dimensional structures of bio-molecules. Among her most influential discoveries are the confirmation of the structure of penicillin that Ernst Boris Chain and Edward Abrahamhad previously surmised, and then the structure of vitamin B12, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She was the third woman to win the prestigious Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

 When I searched more, I found this,

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1964 was awarded to Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin "for her determinations by X-ray techniques of the structures of important biochemical substances".

Every past discoveries and researches were the foundation of our life now. The science and technology grow because we constantly questioning things. Like a child, a curious child who wants to learn. And that is what Dorothy did. She said,

I became captivated by the edifices chemists had raised through experiment and imagination — but still I had a lurking question. Would it not be better if one could really 'see' whether molecules as complicated as the sterols, or strychnine were just as experiment suggested?

That's it for today. Thanks for reading this. See you  :)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro Movie Review (with Inspiring Quotes)

This is my first movie/film review.. if my review is BLEH (not good) please leave a comment/critics. I am still practicing my writing skill.. ^^

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro picture from IMBd

I just noticed when I was searching the poster of it, it's upside-down angle right.. hahaha
Okay let's move on..
I watched the film on Wed, May 7th at some local theater. There's a 3D movie for this but I chose the usual one. It's amazing well, it's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN after all.

Oh what should I speak first
First, lets talked about Gwen and Parker relationship. Since Gwen's dad died in the first movie, Parker felt so guilty because Gwen's dad told him to stay away from Gwen. But Gwen didn't like that idea at all (troublesome woman). And up until almost the end of the movie, he kinda see "the ghost" of Gwen's dad. It's creepy =__=
They broke up sometimes in the movie, but when Gwen got a scholarship in England. It's clear that they still love each other. As you can guess, they're back together just before the Electro strike again.

The villain in this movie's Max, the invincible man that has love-hate feelings for Spider-man. At first he loved Spider-man and when he became Electro, he angry a lot. Now I see the pattern -> angry -> angrier -> dangerous. Just like Hulk or Thor or Torch Man or Ghost Rider.

Finally Harry, Parker former best friend who was dying. He's the Green Goblin. His depression over the disease made him mad, now he looked like maniac. He felt betray by his best friend. After his best friend convince him it'll be impossible. (well, because the DNA for that spidey was Parker's dad DNA)

There're some humor and some "whoa" moments. Like when Parker found out his dad labs, super awesome. Time Square attack was funny. I didn't read the comic and I didn't know about the villains in Spider-man. But this villain, Electro, was so cool. It's like electricity become his blood and his body became electrical circuit. The CGI can be seen in those moment. Two thumbs up for that.

I know that we all think we're immortal, we're supposed to feel that way, we're graduating. The future is and should be bright, but, like our brief four years in high school, what makes life valuable is that it doesn't last forever, what makes it precious is that it ends. I know that now more than ever. And I say it today of all days to remind us that time is luck. So don't waste it living someone else's life, make yours count for something. Fight for what matters to you, no matter what. Because even if you fall short, what better way is there to live?

It's easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too, and there'll be days where you feel all alone, and that's when hope is needed most. Keep it alive.

I know it feels like we’re saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next, to remind us of who we are, and of who we’re meant to be. I've had a great four years with you, and I’ll miss you all very much.

Those lines're from the movie. (source: Movie Quote)

The Gwen's speech described the whole movie. And it's perfect. Thanks for reading this review. See you ^^

What's Happy Mother's Day?

According to Wikipedia

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in spring. (e.g., April–May in the northern hemisphere, October in Argentina, but northern hemisphere spring, May, in Australia).

So we don't celebrate mothers day together in the same time. In US, they celebrate it on second Sunday in May, which is today.

Happy Mother's Day for beautiful and awesome mothers all over the world..

I don't know that today is Mother's Day, well Google has been kind and kind of remind me..

In the logo there're a woman and her children. (source: Google)

This is the search result after I clicked the logo. (source: Google)

Well, that's it for me. Just to remind you, say "I love you" to your mom, at least in Mother's Day.

The song for today, Always Love Me by Tori Kelly. (source: Youtube) This is a great song, I love the lyrics.

Note:
It seems not only Google but Yahoo also celebrate this Mother's Day even though it's Yahoo Indonesia
Watch the Yahoo logo on up-left-corner of the page. You will find this,

Cute huh.. ^^
