pembayaran lewat sms

Daripada hanya memilih artis, kenapa tidak banyak pembayaran dilakukan lewat sms? Aku baru saja membeli voucher internet lewat sms, dan rasanya banyak sekali peluang yang dapat dilakukan fungsi kecil itu daripada berlangganan ringtone atau ramalan.

Depkeu and trains

Aku tadinya mau menulis betapa sebelnya aku dengan proses pendaftaran dan ujian Depkeu yang kunilai tidak efisien, dan proses pemesanan tiket kereta api yang masih bisa jauh lebih efisien dan tidak memakan waktu, tapi terlalu banyak emosi di beberapa draft pertamaku. Setelah menghapus yang kesekian kali, aku resolve dengan ini saja:
1. Daftar Depkeu: Isi form yang mengisi usia dan pendidikan terakhir (IPK juga, kalau harus). Yang memenuhi diberi akses untuk ujian online, logika, numerikal dan pengetahuan umum. Ambil secara normatif saja, sesuai kebutuhan (2%, 1%, 0,5%). Panggil yang itu, temui orangnya, focus group/group dynamics, tes presentasi dan wawancara dengan user. Terima yang perlu.
2. Pesan tiket kereta api: Pesan lewat sms. Untuk memesan satu tiket kereta api akan menghabiskan 2000 rupiah. Potong pulsa, dapat kursi. Pesan lewat telpon, lewat bank masing-masing. Pesat lewat internet, perlakukan seperti membeli pesawat terbang atau seperti membayar listrik.

Mengejar mas-mas dan Coyote Ugly

Tokoh wanita di kedua film harus melakukan pengorbanan untuk mendapatkan apa yang mereka perjuangkan. Be it hanya membayar hutang atau mengejar mimpi. Tapi mereka melakukan apa yang harus dilakukan, dan mereka berusaha terus. Aku tidak akan menilai apa yang mereka lakukan (melacur dan menjadi sensual bar tender), tapi aku kagum pada kegigihan mereka.

Memutihkan gigi dg strawberry

Lagi iseng, dekat lift, ada saran membersihkan/memutihkan gigi dg strawberry. Gosokkan strawberry yg sdh dihancurkan, tunggu 2 menit. Trus sikat gigi seperti biasa.

About cough

Stumbled upon these while looking around cough in Wiki.

"Coughing may also be used for social reasons, such as the coughing before giving a speech."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cough

"Recent studies have found that theobromine, a compound found in cacao, is more effective as a cough suppressant than prescription codeine. This compound suppresses the "itch" signal from the nerve in the back of the throat that causes the cough reflex. It is possible to get an effective dose (1 g, though 0.5 g may be sufficient, according to PMID 15548587) from 50g of dark chocolate, which contains 2 to 10 times more cacao than milk chocolate. Cocoa powder contains roughly 0.1 g per tablespoon (5g).[3] Theobromine was also free from side effects in the blind tests.[4]"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cough_medicine

Some lyrics "Not one night"

I used to dream of only you, now I don't do that
I used to miss talking to you, now I don't do that

Kalimat itu kok rasanya menohok ya? Ah well.. ^_^

Book of your life

Imagine reading a book about your life. What would you want it to be filled with, things that you regret you did, things that you regret you didn't do, things that you're glad you didn't do or things that you're glad you did?

Living with children

I found myself, 4 days after living with a child, questioning my time allocation. A friend had to part with his newborn after seeing him only less than an hour, another had to do so for some months. How do one part with his young?

Our Sunday

Close to five in the afternoon, Bang Al came. Then Mom and Dad came, witu Ibu. Kakak, Universal and their family gathered and we ate on the floor, on a Persian rug incapable of holding twenty people. It's okay, neither could the family room. Everybody came, including the little ones, all the small kids of Kakak. We joked about Little Indira who still refused to "pop out" even when everybody is already present. Everybody congratulated the mother on her birthday. Then, with a full stomach, everybody said goodbye, preparing themselves for a bright and early Monday. We said goodbye and finished cleaning up just before nine. I said to my love, this is wonderful. A full dinner and still time to kick back before going to bed early. Taking a late shower, I thought about my friends I didn't get to see these few months and wished them all a good weekend. I wish, in any way, they all feel as blessed as I am right now.
