My car won't start?!

I'm 21 years old woman, who is studying computer science. I love watching Moto GP, Formula 1, and even Top Gear. But seriously I don't know that much about otomotive. Today happens to be one of my not so lucky day. My car won't start, well I'm busy and I'm still use public transportation to go to college. So I don't use the car that much. I hate traffic and it's my sister's car.

I will give you some tips, like 101 tips when you have problems with your car (especially if it won't start).

When your car won't start, check the car battery. 
If it looks dry or empty, then just call nearest workshop or you can call your insurance workshop.
If it's still full and liquid, then there's something wrong with your car battery. You can jumper the car battery and there're several ways to do that. First, push the car. You can start the car when your friend or someone push it.

Push the car

Second, use another car battery. You can use jumper cables to connect another car battery with our car battery. Then you can start the working car and after a while you can start the disable car. Hopefully it works.

Use another car battery

Third, car battery backup. Connect the cable from backup to the car and start the backup. After that try to start the car.

After the jumper, the car stops again
If it stops again, you probably have to call workshop and have a technician to check on your car. But in my case, my car battery have to be replaced. :(

I just crash another car
Ohh boy, calm and be rational. Don't give them your certificate of vehicle ownership/ STNK in Indonesia and your driving license. Apologize to them and talk about solution. If you know a workshop, you can offer to take them there. And if there's injuries, call ambulance and police.

I know we usually panic if some problems happen. But remember just calm cause panic won't help. So anyway there're some (useful) tips from me ^^ Ciao

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 ^^

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 :)
