			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suddenly, everybody is using blackberry and expect outsider to join the club A.S.A.P. When meeting new people, new clients, new acquaintances or friends you haven&#8217;t seen in a while, the first thing they asked is &#8220;What&#8217;s your BB pin?&#8221; Sounds familiar?</p>
<p>From my job point of view, i kind of &#8220;get it&#8221;. It&#8217;s always good to have more options connecting with your clients right? but still, i can not imagine what is so important that can not wait until i&#8217;m back in front of computer to replay the email properly, not on that crazy small bb keyboard. If it is really super important needed something to be checked right away, they can simply text me or pick up the phone and call, no?</p>
<p>From social point of view, this is how it goes&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Friend:</strong> &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you get yourself a blackberry already?<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> Why should I?<br />
<strong>Friend:</strong> &#8220;It&#8217;s not that easy to reach you&#8221;<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> How come? I&#8217;m online on YM, Gtalk, MSN on working hours, and when i&#8217;m not online, you can reach me on my phone. What&#8217;s &#8220;not easy&#8221; about it?<br />
<strong>Friend:</strong> &#8220;Well, sometimes you don&#8217;t pick up your phone&#8221;<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> You can always text me or I&#8217;ll call back when i see your miscall<br />
<strong>Friend:</strong> &#8220;We can do group chat on BB&#8221;<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> We can do group chat on YM<br />
<strong>Friend:</strong> &#8220;BBM!&#8221;<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> Isn&#8217;t that just like chat?<strong><br />
</strong><strong>Friend:</strong> &#8220;True, but so much more!&#8221;<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> Yeah? Like What?<br />
<strong>Friend: </strong>&#8220;Like pictures! on BB you can post pic to the group&#8221;<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> Like what kind of pictures? your dinners?<br />
<strong>Friend:</strong> &#8220;Are you being sarcastic now?&#8221;<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> *kabur*</p>
<p>After having many similar conversations, i want to clear up once and for all that blackberry simply represent everything I&#8217;m not interested in, it&#8217;s just a personal opinion, no offense to people who actually love it. The design of the phone is so Yucky Corporate, and  the &#8220;connecting people&#8221; 24/7 on every level thingy is making me itchy. Nobody need to be connected THAT Much. Nobody! Or&#8230;.is it just me?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kosmetik - kata yang remeh, kalo istilah orang bule <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficial" target="_blank">superficial</a>! tapi sangat exist di kehidupan sehari-hari kita. Bukan hanya make-up, kosmetik juga termasuk skin care, haircare, dll yang digunakan untuk membersihkan, mempercantik atau merubah penampilan tanpa merubah struktur atau fungsi tubuh.</p>
<p>Sehari-hari saya menggunakan pensil alis, eyeliner &amp; maskara untuk membuat mata sipit saya terlihat lebih belok. Sedangkan bedak, lipstik, blush-on apalagi alas bedak rasanya a little bit too much for me - mungkin karena saya kurang ahli makenya.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-604" title="skin-care1" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/skin-care1.jpg" alt="skin-care1" width="350" height="524" /></p>
<p>Untuk varian skin care seperti cleanser, krim mata, dan terutama krim pelembab, bisa dibilang sudah merupakan ritual setiap pagi dan malam. Mengingat kita cuma punya selapis kulit for a lifetime, saya cenderung menganggap produk skin care sebagai sebuah investasi *halah*</p>
<p>Dengan embel2 &#8220;investasi&#8221;, pengeluaran yang menjurus ke boros pun dibenarkan dengan lapang dada hehhe. Apalagi, kalau kulit sudah terlanjur bermasalah pasti bakal repot tujuh keliling, dan uang yang dikeluarkan untuk treatment ini itu malah jauh lebih besar. Jadi lebih baik &#8220;main aman&#8221; dengan hanya menggunakan produk yang sudah terkenal dan biasanya otomatis lumayan mahal.</p>
<p>Namun, beberapa bulan yang lalu dikarenakan keterbatasan budget mendadak, saya sempat bingung ketika hendak berbelanja produk skin care. Brand yang biasa saya beli, sekali belanja 2-3 produk habis minimal sejuta. Iseng ngecek harga brand lain sejenis yang lebih murah, ternyata enga beda banyak dengan yang saya gunakan sekarang.<br />
Akhirnya saya pun memutuskan mencoba merk yang mudah ditemukan di berbagai apotek &amp; hypermarket, yang belum lama ini melakukan product re-branding dengan cukup apik. Harganya sih jelas jauh lebih murah.</p>
<p>Setelah menggunakan produk tersebut kira-kira 2 bulan, kulitku memang tidak berubah menjadi <em>flawless white</em> seperti iklannya, namun juga tidak retak, iritasi, tidak jadi kering atau berminyak dengan ekstreem &amp; tidak mledug seperti yang dikhawatirkan. In fact, kulitku sama aja seperti sebelumnya. Keren juga punya kulit yang pengertian^^</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lagi iseng browsing, ketemu aplikasi lucu &#8220;<a href="http://www.instyle.com/instyle/makeover/" target="_blank">hollywood makeover</a>&#8221; di websitenya in style. Disini, org iseng kayak saya bisa mengupload foto diri sendiri (tampak depan, angkat semua rambut ke belakang ala model), lalu pilih model rambut hingga aplikasi makeup yang diinginkan. Seru!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-589" title="hollywood-makeover" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/hollywood-makeover.jpg" alt="hollywood-makeover" width="350" height="800" /></p>
<p>Di beberapa foto diatas, saya &#8220;mencoba&#8221; model rambut ala Katie Holmes, Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theeron, Jessica Biel etc. Dari simulasi tersebut, saya menarik kesimpulan bahwa model rambut panjang tidak setuju dengan wajahku.</p>
<p>Aplikasi ini layak dijajal terlebih dahulu sebelum ganti model rambut, terutama kalo lagi patah hati atau depresi. Loh apa hubungannya?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people who were on Lemon Detox program claims it can effectively cleanses your body, strengthens your immune system, makes you feel energized, gives you a positive, happier outlook on life while also clearing your skin, making your hair shinier and, most importantly to a lot of people, helps you lose weight.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-580" title="lemon" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/lemon.jpg" alt="lemon" width="350" height="336" /></p>
<p>All these benefits is by replacing <strong>ALL solid foods</strong> with up to 10 glasses of the lemon mix a day (mix of lemons, maple syrup or honey and cayenne pepper) between 5 to 14 days.</p>
<p>A little bit extreme don&#8217;t you think? And although many Hollywood celebs &amp; models claims that the drink provided enough nutrients to satisfy one’s hunger cravings, i decided it won&#8217;t work for me - any starvation program is simply insane.</p>
<p>So for 5 days,  I drink 1 glass of lemon detox every morning before i eat anything and  still consume low calorie/ low fat solid food + more fruits. Apart from the 1 kg i lost, i did notice the improvement of my skin. So i guess it works?</p>
<p><strong>How to make a lemon detox drink:</strong></p>
<ul class="BulletList">
<li> <span>half glass of ice cold Water.</span></li>
<li> <span>1/2 of a medium to large sized Lemon freshly squeezed.</span></li>
<li> <span>2 tablespoons of honey or 100% Pure Maple Syrup.</span></li>
<li> <span>A pinch of ground Cayenne Pepper or ground Ginger</span></li>
<li><span>stir well<br />
</span></li>
</ul>

<p>It&#8217;s such a traumatize experience, writing book is&#8230; all those deadlines! *shiver* And it&#8217;s also a huge commitment, i mean you can start feeling all excited about starting a new book, and then somewhere along the way you may lose interest, or distracted with other job/activities and it&#8217;s so hard to get back on track.</p>
<p>But it does feel kinda great when you did finish writing the book and it get published. So i must say it&#8217;s worth all the pain^^</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Belum lagi kesampain beli iPhone, Apple sudah duluan meluncurkan produk tablet terbarunya yang bisa bikin para geek &amp; gadget freak ileran. Say hello to <strong>iPad</strong> !</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-563" title="ipad-3g" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ipad-3g.jpg" alt="ipad-3g" width="350" height="227" /></p>
<p>Jadi apa sebenarnya iPad ini bisa buat ngapain aja? Well, iPad pada dasarnya adalah penggabungan / upgrade dari fitur-fitur yang sudah ada di iPhone dan Ipod Touch tapi dengan media yang lebih besar, seukuran laptop kecil alias netbook dan menggunakan teknologi touch screen. Dengan iPad, kamu bisa:</p>
<ul>
<li>Browsing Internet, Email &amp; Peta (ada Wi-Fi)</li>
<li>Nonton Movie in HD</li>
<li>Main Game - menggunakan aplikasi game iphone</li>
<li>Bisnis - menggunakan aplikasi iwork yang bisa touch screen</li>
<li>Baca &amp; Beli E-Book lewat iBook</li>
</ul>
<p>Dari semua fitur-fitur iPad, tidak diragukan lagi yang paling appealing bagiku yang kutubuku ini adalah baca &amp; beli buku lewat iBook (toko buku digital milik apple).</p>
<p>Here’s how Apple describes iBooks:</p>
<blockquote><p>“The iBooks app is a great, new way to read and buy books. Just download the app for free from the App Store, and you’ll be able to buy everything from classics to bestsellers from the built-in iBookstore. Once you’ve bought a book, it’s displayed on your Bookshelf. To read it, all you have to do is tap on it and it opens up. The high-resolution, LED-backlit screen displays everything in sharp, rich, color, so it’s very easy to read, even in low light.”</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stuck in the city blocks of Jakarta with all it&#8217;s traffic &amp; pollution can be so&#8230;depressing sometimes. I live in a small apartment, work in a small office space in a commercial building, and hangout in malls. I do feel like have to &#8216;get out&#8217; every now and then to escape the walls, the outlets, the same old thing.</p>
<p>But Where? Of course i can simply go to some spa destination, or to other city or even overseas, but it will cost too much and not doable in weekly basis. So this is where i went last weekend</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-556" title="kebunrayabogor4" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/kebunrayabogor4.jpg" alt="kebunrayabogor4" width="350" height="263" /></p>
<p><strong>Kebun Raya Bogor!</strong> Yap it&#8217;s located in Bogor (around 1 - 1,5 hour drive from Jakarta) and i love every minute of my time there! the weather was perfect, it&#8217;s so peacefull, serene &amp; pretty well maintained. I&#8217;m surprised there aren&#8217;t many people around enjoying the glorious garden!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-557" title="kebunrayabogor3" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/kebunrayabogor3.jpg" alt="kebunrayabogor3" width="350" height="429" /></p>
<p>Located in 85-hectare area with more than 15.ooo collection of trees &amp; plants, it can be a very long walk as you can imagine. Every plant &amp; tree we walked by has a name tag, but without further explanation.</p>
<p>Too bad i didn&#8217;t get to finished the track because it&#8217;s started to rain a little (don&#8217;t forget umbrella next time, it rains a lot around here). Walking around the garden with a red umbrella while it&#8217;s rain is a pretty romantic thought^^</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-558" title="kebunrayabogor1" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/kebunrayabogor1.jpg" alt="kebunrayabogor1" width="350" height="263" /></p>
<p>After tired walking around, we went to cafe deDaun (inside the complex), to have some drinks &amp; snack while enjoying the sunset from the cafe&#8217;s porch. Overall, it&#8217;s a perfect way to spend sunday afternoon away from home.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-559" title="kebunrayabogor2" src="http://yellowteacup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/kebunrayabogor2.jpg" alt="kebunrayabogor2" width="350" height="263" /></p>
<p>can we have one of these garden in jakarta please?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>30 Desember 2009, Indonesia kehilangan Gus Dur, Presiden RI ke-4. Terus terang, saya tidak pernah melihat sosok Gus Dur sebagai politisi karena sebagai pemimpin, ia selalu tampak tanpa embel-embel, tanpa agenda, tanpa muslihat tersembunyi, bicara, mengkritik &amp; bertindak apa adanya, sesuai yang ia yakini benar. So politically wrong?</p>
<p>Pada masa jabatannya sebagai Presiden RI, Gus Dur yang dikenal sebagai &#8220;pejuang kaum minoritas&#8221;, meninggalkan kesan yang mendalam kepada IBC (<em>Indonesian Born Chinese</em>) dengan menjadikan Imlek sebagai hari libur nasional. Sebelum disahkan sebagai hari libur, kami para anak-anak IBC selalu bolos sekolah untuk merayakan Imlek, yang sebenarnya bukan masalah bagi saya (saya bersedia bolos kapan saja ^^&#8221;). Setelah dewasa, saya bisa menyadari bahwa apa yang dilakukan Gus Dur itu bukan hanya sekedar memberi tambahan hari libur di kalender, namun lebih merupakan suatu gesture <strong>ACCEPTANCE</strong>, <em>an open hand</em> bagi para IBC, sesuatu yang tidak terasa dalam pemerintahan sebelumnya.</p>
<p>Gus Dur juga dikenal sebagai seoarang <em>Visionary pluralist</em>, senantiasa memperjuangkan Agama &amp; Perdamaian, baca salah satu artikelnya <a href="http://www.wahidinstitute.org/Programs/Detail/?id=122/hl=id/Agama_Dan_Perdamaian_Hentikan_Kekerasan_Atas_Nama_Agama" target="_blank">disini</a> . Sayang, jadinya ia malah sering mendapat <strong>TUDUHAN MIRING,</strong> coba aja cek link2 popular di google tentang Gus Dur: gus dur masuk kristen - 44.300 hasil, gus dur yahudi - 102.000 hasil, gus dur selingkuh - 63.000 hasil, gus dur murtad - 24.500 hasil, gus dur dibaptis - 13.100 hasil.</p>
<p>Hmm? Apakah memang sebegitu sulitnya untuk mempercayai seorang pemimpin / pemuka agama yang menunjukkan secara publik bahwa ia menghormati agama lain dan senantiasa memperjuangkan kedamaian antar umat beragama?</p>
<p>Anyway, yang jelas saya prihatin dengan siapapun yang menjadi panitia public relation nya Gus Dur. I can totally imagine this conversation between them. <strong>PR guy:</strong> <em>&#8220;Pak, saya menyarankan bapak untuk tidak terlalu kontroversial soal agama-agama ini pak. Entar popularitas bapak menurun, ga ada yang vote!&#8221;</em> <strong>Gus Dur:</strong> <em>&#8220;I&#8217;ll say what i want, gitu aja kok repot&#8221;</em>. <strong>PR guy:</strong> <em>&#8220;omaigat&#8221; </em>*tarik-tarik rambut*</p>
<p>Ya, Gus Dur mungkin memang bukan sosok politisi ideal, tapi ia jelas adalah sosok manusia idealis yang memperjuangan apa yang ia percayai. So, farewell Gus Dur, i believe you are going to the place reserved for the good souls.</p>
