UniTed State President ElecTion

Well, i feel blessed for being one of million people in the world for phenomenal election in US. Since one of the candidates - Senator Barack Obama is black man - if he win this election he will be the first black man who become the President of United State. I feel confident that he will win this time, first time I know about this man is when I saw Oprah show and he was the guest. He has what we called charisma, down earth personality and since he was lived in Indonesia long time ago, I am sure that he has good consideration and perspective about Indonesia as a country and also to Indonesian people.
I have wrote a review about Senator Obama in April 2007 here is the complete review
In pre-election reported that Obama is lead to McCain, well let see in the next few days on Nov 4, there will be National Election - hopefully Obama will win.....

Put Your Hands Around Me

by Natasha Bedingfield

That original feeling never went away
That's why I'm standing here today
Whoa Whoa
So many up and downs
And nothing has changed
That's why you know I'm here to stay
Whoa Whoa

So put your arms around me
And then stay there forever
Let it always be this way
You and me together

So put you arms around me
And I'll never let go
I know they're easy words to say
But I mean it more then ever

Yours is the kind of love
Makes nothing else feel good enough
And I'm never gonna give you up, Oh no, Oh no.

That original feeling never went away
That's why I'm standing here today.
Whoa Whoa
(Ain't nobody gonna take your place
Only you made me feel this way)

So many up and downs
And nothing has changed
That's why you know I'm here to stay
Whoa Whoa
Ain't nobody gonna replace
Only you make me feel this saved

So put your arms around me
And then stay there forever
Let it always be this way

You and me together

So put you arms around me
And I'll never let go
I know they're easy words to say
But I mean it more then ever

Yours is the kind of love
Makes nothing else feel good enough
And I'm never gonna give you up (Oh no, oh no)
[x2]

It can't explain what's the glue that holds us in.
Whoa Whoa
I can't refrain if I had a chance to do it over again.
Whoa Whoa

So put your arms around me
And then stay there forever
Let it always be this way
You and me together
So put you arms around me
And I'll never let go
I know they're easy words to say
But I mean it more than ever
[x2]

Yours is the kind of love
Makes nothing else feel good enough
And I'm never gonna give you up (Oh no, oh no)
[x2]

[Outro:]
Yours is the kind of love
Makes nothing else feel good enough
And I'm never gonna give you up (Oh no, oh no, no no no)

WikiPeDia

Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia. It was formally launched on 15 January 2001. Wikipedia is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites) and encyclopedia
First time when I found this site, I was so excited because its contain lot of information and available in various languages. You can read and get many kinds of information such as entertainment, science, history, math, etc. Based on my experience, so far Wiki is so help to answer my curiosity about many things.
For example, when my college asked me how to measure a triangle by using Pythagoras and to make sure that I have gave him the right formula then I just go to Wiki to check it.
Further, beside you can gain information in other hand you can also add any information as well. You are allow to write any kinds of theme as long as it has not contain of negative things :D well I am sure you are understand what I mean right...
As Wikipedia is available in many languages, it becomes worldwide and growing fast. Do you have the same opinion ? :)

MoZiLLa FiRefox

In may last posting, I was talked about Google. Let's continue with Mozilla Firefox. It is one browser engine beside Explorer, Safari or Opera. In my opinion, I guess that Mozilla Firefox is the best one for some reasons.
First, its features are easy to understand or in short way it is simple. I mean for internet user like me, I need something simple and not taking to much time to access. Previously I was used IE in my PC but it did not perform optimally, also Safari - I forgot about the edition and its applied in my office...guess so far in conclusion Firefox still perform perfect among others.
Further, inside the official sites of Firefox, there are some top features and you can read them here
What is your best browsing engine? well everyone could has different opinion....happy browsing :)

Google Page Rank

I think everyone knows about Google. Yes, it is one of the best search engine in Internet. I always us it to look for many information related to my job, hobbies and etc. Google's result mostly compatible and updated.
Google also has another thing, which is give Page Rank to websites whether its owned by personal or business. For blogger, Page Rank is very familiar because as for me PR is very important. I am using internet not only for browsing information but also to get dollar or people said Paid for Review.
If a blog or site has good PR it will effected to how much an advertiser will pay
you per review...sound interesting right!
What is PR, well so far that PR range is between 0-10 so at least if your blog has PR3 and your blog is one of paid review member then you can gain dollar anytime :D
Further about Page Rank you can read it here (in Bahasa Indonesia)
Google PR will updated every three months, I have read some articles that if you want to have good PR you should update your blog frequently - posting about many things, or backlink to another sites. Well, but sometime PR does not too important to for some bloggers since their blog's purpose is not for commercial but just for having fun - I mean they only want to share their opinion, experiences and etc.
and how about you guys? do you think Google PR is important? :D

RamadHan

Moslem is believe that Ramadhan is a holy month. During this month, all moslem around the world are fasting, which is no drinking and eating for about +/- 8 hours per day for one month. The main purpose why moslem fasting is to control their emotion so that we can be a better person inside and outside.
I am waiting for this month, because Allah SWT is promising thousands bless in this holy month. I know that basically, fasting is not an easy thing but as long as we start it with a good willing and did it for Allah than I hope everything will run smoothly as well.
I hope that all moslems around the world will get and received all the good things during ramadhan and at the and we can celebrate Idul Fitri together. Amin

Yoga

Nowadays I think Yoga is very common exercise. I am interesting to share about this in my today posting. According to wiki Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. Outside India, yoga is mostly associated with the practice of asanas (postures) of Hatha Yoga or as a form of exercise. A practitioner of Yoga is called a Yogi (male) or Yogini (female). At swamij stated that there are Traditional Yoga and Modern Yoga.
Traditional view: To the ancients, Yoga is a complete system, of which the postures are a small, though quite useful part. The word "Yoga" referred to the whole, not merely one part, which is the postures, or Asanas. The entire purpose of Yoga is spiritual in nature, according to the ancient sages.
Modern view: In modern times, the relative position of the postures has been elevated, so as to lead people to believe that the word "Yoga" refers to physical postures or Asanas, and that the goal of these is physical fitness. The whole and the part have been reversed, terribly misleading and confusing people about the true nature of authentic Yoga.
Further, there is a question 'Is Yoga a Religion?' - for this question Swami has the answer - Yoga is not a religion and religion is not contained within Yoga. Yoga means union. It is the joining together the aspects of ourselves which were never divided in the first place.
I have been joining Yoga class for the past two weeks, well only once a week actually and so far I have learned that it is all about how to harmonize your mind and body. I've decided to join this Yoga is to feel new experience and take the positive impact by doing this.

CeleBrating Independence DaY

To celebrate our Independence Day, our office was held a gathering party. Every member of Tripper was being part of it. It was held on 10 August 2008, some games were held and I was joined one them – it is called ‘lomba makan krupuk’.

Celebrating Independent Day with gathering party is very common in Indonesia, in every corner of this country you can see that many people are held traditional games that perhaps you will never find it in the world such as ‘lomba panjat pinang’.

In this game, a group of man or women will try to get present that hang at the top of pinang’s tree. Ups, the process is not so easy because along the pinang’s tree is full with oil, it is so fun to watch it.

I am truly blessed being an Indonesian, no matter how long it will take - I believe that someday we will be a great country. I know that is not easy and we will meet many obstacles from inside and outside, but I guess that anything can happen, coz I am sure that in every single beat of Indonesian people, they are love their country as much as I did. Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka, and Long Life Indonesia

WhY JaPanese?

It is been almost 9 months I have learned new language which is Japanese aka Nihon-go. When I share this experience to my friends, their first question will be, why you've learn this language? second question, you must be look for Japanese man, aren't you?
Well actually, my basic reason is that I want to learn another language so that I can speak not only english but also other foreign language.
Further, another reason is that I like to watch Japanese dorama and I thought it would be great if I can understand the story without translation. About Japanese man? for sure I hope my future man is an Indonesian, but who knows - who is gonna be our destiny, just let God decided for me ;)
Learning Nihon-go is very excited, the way our sensei (teacher) teach us is good, I mean he never give us so much pressure but he make the learning time comfortable and everybody can enjoy it.
But of course I have face problems too, which is as I am an employee and quite difficult for me to spare time to study when I get back at home coz I feel tired sometime. And when the test time come, all I can do is recap all the material at once :D
One more thing, if I able to speak another language beside english it could help me to have more chance to work in hospitality field since there are lots of Japanese come to visit Bali every year ;)
