NoW It WorkS AgaiN!

I am a beginner as a blogger and for the past few months I had a problem with blog but now it is already solved.
The problem was that I couldn’t work with my layout in dashboard. The page elements tab wasn’t worked as usual. And all I can do in my blog was only posted and edited in some areas. I have asked my friend who is capable with blog problems and he gives several suggestions for my problem, then he finally asked me to change my blog’s template and it did not work either.
Then I’ve tried to go to Blogger Help Center and I found this explanation..

“Drag-and-drop customization of the new Blogger’s new template system (layouts) does not work in Safari, nor does fonts and colors customization. You must use either Firefox or Internet Explorer 6+ to use these features of the new Blogger.
(They also work mostly with Opera 9, though with some visual glitches.)”

So I’ve got an idea why I’ve problem with my layout. As information I have use Internet Explorer 6.0 version as browser. Then yesterday I have installed Firefox browser and what happen next was fantastic, I can work with my layout without any problems anymore.
I am so happy and finally got the answer for the problem that it is about the browser type. While I am using IE as a browser the Blogger page is not working optimally then when I am using Firefox, it’s working optimal.

Miss YoU ALwayS

Sometime I’ve feel jealous to those who still has grandpa or grandma, because I don’t have them all now.
My grandma from my father’s side had passed away when I was 23 years old, and she was the last one who left us after all my grandpa and grandma from my mother’s side.
My grandma, we used to call her Mbah Marmo. A strong woman,that I’ve met in my life. She always becomes our inspiration to do our best in study and now I realized that every times me and my sista have achieved something in our life, she is the one that we want to share first by phone call coz she lives in different place (she lives in Java and my family in Bali).
When the day she’s died, I felt that she said good-bye to me and all I can say that I’ve promise her to always be a good person.
A flash back, a few months before she died, she had visited us in Bali for attending my sister’s graduation ceremony. She and me had a conversation and we talked about how proud she will be if one of her grandchild can be well have good position in life, then I said to her that basically what we should be is to be a good person, coz when you are a good person all good moments will follow you, then I think that is the best thing I can promise her which is always trying to be a good person even I know this is truly hard to do.
She is also a good mother in law for my mother, and my mother loves her like she loves her own mother. She is just difficult to describe coz I miss her so much…as much I miss Mbah Kakung and Mbah Putri…. remembering them make me cannot breath and tears in my eyes because their all gone before I can do something for them… gonna always miss you forever and I hope Allah SWT placed all of you in Heaven. Amin

AddicTed to KoReaN’s DRamA

Recently I have watched several of Korean’s dramas frequently and I’ve realized that I become addicted to this kind of serial movie.
Some good ones are; Save the Last Dance for Me (the OST is cool), Endless Love, Only You, Wonderful Life, Stairway to Heaven, Hotelier, Winter Sonata, All About Eve, Love Story in Harvard and Full House.
I like to watch Korean drama is for several reasons such as, the storyline is easy to follow, and also the way they shows passion between couples that fall in love is polite, well not in a rush compares with western movies.
I don’t mean that I don’t like western movies style, I’ve also enjoy to watch some of them but if someone ask me to choose then I will definitely choose Korean’s drama :D.
Then last but not least those Korean’s dramas commonly have short episodes that make them reasonable to watch. Coz they assure you to find ending of the story so we don’t have to spend so much time for final episode.
Oh I think I missed one other reason, of course it is because of the good looking actors too :D
In addition, beside Korean’s drama, Taiwanese and Japanese are also good. In my conclusion because all of them gives a simple story and near to reality so you can feel the chemistry.
And for those who are now fall in love, I guess by watching one of the drama perhaps it can make your relationship stronger...hehehe well nothing to lose to try right...

GooD ByE ChRisYE


Chrisye is one of outstanding male singers in Indonesia, and today morning he passed away. Now through the radio I’ve listening one of his song and make me wanna cry. His voice is simple and his songs are easy to listen with deep meaning. His phenomenal album is Badai Pasti Berlalu and also an Original Soundtrack for a great movie too with the same title, its Badai Pasti Berlalu. And I am sure it will always remind us to Chrismansyah Rahardi (Chrisye). Hopefully Allah SWT will accept him and gives strengthen to his family.
So long Chrisye, and thank you for your dedication…

FLaSh DiSc

Few days ago my sista gave me a flash disc with 1GB capacity. First time I know about this gadget was on last December 2003. My Singaporean employer introduced it to me, he bought it in Singapore and if we convert it in Rupiah its around 1 million if I am not wrong, coz it was on year 2003.
Nowadays, flash disc is very common among us. It’s really useful because it can save lots of files with its capacity. And the price is also reachable even it also depend on the flash disc capacity, we can say that there are many brands that offer you several of flash disc.
The other advantage of flash disc is it has small size and easy to carry so you can put it on your pocket.
Perhaps it little bit too late for me to have it, and since I have it now I fell bit happy coz easier for me to share or save my files from my office’s computer to my own at home.

ReYNaLDi

Come on guys, that is not my boyfriend name :D
It is an alias of Tukul Arwana, who is he?
Tukul is a comedian, who is very famous lately, he is a host for a talk show in one of our local television channel.
He is sometime introduce him self as Reynaldi, because if you read or heard the name you might think that the man who has the name is handsome. But the fact is the opposite, Tukul or Reynaldi is far from good-looking =)).
The show name is Empat Mata, you can watch it every Monday-Friday on 9.30 PM (Trans 7). He is success to make this show become a favorite for everyone, because that he is very down to earth person even people make a joke about his ugly face.
I think this is the point why the show can become outstanding like now, well even Tukul’s face is pointless and the central of all jokes but Tukul is always response with open heart. And also He is always respect to his entire guest in that show no matter where they are come from and backgrounds.
Tukul it self was started everything from zero and that is why even now he becomes popular he still try to keep down to earth person and live like a normal and far from glamour style.
The magic hint that I can learn from Mr. Reynaldi is that don’t ever change your self no matter how rich you are or what kind of your status now and always remember your past so its can keep you humble.

SiLeNce

Today is Hindu’s New Year; it is called Hari Raya Nyepi. In this year turn to Year Caka 1929. Nyepi is unique, in this day we cannot do three main things. They are; we cannot do anything (working), we cannot turn on the light and the last is that we cannot turn on fire (cooking).
Before Nyepi big day, Balinese are doing several rituals, started with Melasti and then the day after that they have made another ceremony names Tawur Agung Kesanga. Usually in Bali, in the night before Nyepi there is a tradition called Ogoh-Ogoh parade. Ogoh-Ogoh is a kind of statue made from papers. The Ogoh-ogoh type is various as long as they represent a power to scare and get rid off the devils. It can be like Buta Kalla (Giant) or in modern one sometimes they made like a Ghost Riders :D.
I have been experienced Nyepi for 24th times, so I get use to with it. For several people who are not originally Balinese but living in Bali sometime they cannot stand to live with the Nyepi’s roles. And they decided to stay in hotel along the Nyepi holidays. In big hotels there is an exception which is everyone who stay in the hotel may do daily activities and turn on the light but all done only around the hotel, they cannot go out from hotel’s area.
Nyepi moment is only for 24 hours/one day, start on 6 am and it will end at the same time on the next day.
Are you curious to have this experience? Welcoming you to Bali then, and we are not only have Nyepi as traditional culture but also many things that you can find when you visit this Island of Goddess.

++KaRMa++

This morning I have watched a Television program and at end of the show it’s gave a short description about what we called Karma.
If there are people who misunderstood about Karma, I think I am one of them. Karma, always identically describe as a bad impact of our behavior. Karma means an impact or a result that comes next after we do something and related to our behavior. Karma can be divided into Good Karma and Bad Karma.
If we are doing something that is not against the role of life I mean just try to do good things in our life it will automatically follow by Good Karma. And as the opposite if we do something that cross the roles, then it might be follow by Bad Karma.
The word Karma is popular in Bali. Because of Balinese are believed that everything that you do will be follow by Karma whether it’s a Good one or a Bad one.
Karma philosophy, I think is one way to limit mankind behavior so that they will always remember to do their best thing in this very short life.

8 To 12

I believe that women have always concern about their bodies and I have realized this lately. Body shape describes a flat stomach and also with balance weight, well this is my own opinion. And now its becomes my problem, when I was graduated from university and three years after that I still confidence with my body weight, and wearing clothes in size 8 is not a problem at all.
So far I know that there are two kinds of ways for clothes measurement. Some brands use numbers such us 8,10,12 and some others use letters like S, M, L (Small, Medium, Large).
Now can you guess what is the size that suitable for me?
When I look at the scales, I saw that I’ve 2 kg overweight. Then the fact made me to switch the size from 8 TO 12.
For a bit tomboy gal like me, thinking about performance sound ridiculous sometime, but now I understand this is important. Why I said so?
First, now some of my clothes are not fit anymore and I feel uncomfortable to wear them then it will cost you a lot to buy new ones.
And I’ve also feel very big, even some my friends said that I am not that big :D (they just want to please me I think).
So what should I do then, it’s a classic question for those who have overweight problem. Well my plan is that I will back to do sport again, it means go to swim :D , its only sport that I like to do ;) coz in the same I can play with water.
My conclusion is that, the problem is not about the way I look if I am fat but to find a way so I can feel comfortable again with my self especially when I am wearing any kind of clothes. Gals are you agree?

Casino Royal Party

Last night I was attended to my company’s party. It’s held at Ritz Carlton Hotel Bali. The theme for this year is Casino Royal, so you can imagine that we do have a cabaret show as one of few performances on the stage. It was start on 6.30 PM local time and ended around 12.00 PM. The atmosphere was quite good, and I think everybody was enjoyed it.
Our company is run a hospitality business we have several resorts in India, Thailand and Indonesia. We also have a Villa, its name Karma Villa located in Jimbaran and next to the Four Season Villa.
Our chairman was also gave a long speech as usual and it was bored actually :D. Anyway I really like the cuisine last night, except the appetizer coz its tasted weird in my tongue and perhaps the others is also felt the same with me. My favorite one was the main menu, it’s a combination of tuna fillet with wasabi sauce, carrot bean (in pieces) and also fried potatoes, and gosh … so yummy…
When the cabaret was performed, all the eyes focused to the stage and the dancers were succeeded to cheer up everyone in the ballroom last night and mostly the boys.
Overall I did enjoy the party last night becoz I can share happy moment with my friends, and that is the most important.
