Batik
2008-03-11 11:23:00 Monday, March 10, 2008Taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThis article is about the textile dyeing technique. For other uses see Batik (disambiguation).Batik (pronunciation: [?ba.te?], but often, in English, is [?bateek] or [b??ti?k]) is an Indonesian word that refers to a generic wax-resist dyeing technique used on textile. The word originates from Javanese word "amba", meaning ?to write? and the Javanese word for dot or point, "titik."It is known to be more than a millennium old,probably originating in ancient Egypt or Sumeria. There is evidence that cloth decorated through some form of resist technique was in use in the early centuries AD.[citation needed] It is found in several countries later in West Africa such as Nigeria, Cameroon and Mali, or in Asia, such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh , Iran, Malaysia and Thailand, but the most popular are in Indonesia.CultureBatik has been both an art and a craft for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradi...
How to Handle Jealousy
2008-03-10 14:00:00 Sunday, March 9, 2008Everyone feels jealous from time to time. Jealousy is easy to deal with, once you understand what it's teaching you. Here are some pointers on working through your emotions and feelings of jealousy.Steps1. Understand the emotion. Jealousy is usually a combination of fear and anger; a fear of losing something, and anger that someone is "moving in on" something that you feel belongs only to you. Be aware of the distinction between jealousy and envy: Jealousy involves wanting to keep something which you already have, whereas envy involves wanting something that you don't have.2. If envy: do not envy. You have control over envy, so stop looking at what is not yours. Some people find it helpful to count their blessings or ask for help (see end section). If jealousy: Allow yourself to actually 'feel' the emotion in a healthy way. When you start feeling jealous, ask yourself: is it more fear based, or more anger based? Recognize which part of your body is being aff... More About: Handle
Irish Pub Sausage

Between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro.Murphy said 'Hang on, I have an idea.'He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage.Shamus said 'Are you crazy? Now we don't have any money left at all!'Murphy replied, 'Don't worry - just follow me.'He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson Whisky.Shamus said 'Now you've lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven't got any money!!'Murphy replied, with a smile. 'Don't ! worry, I have a plan, Cheers!'They downed their drinks. Murphy said, 'OK, I'll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth.'The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them out.They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk, all for free.At the tenth pub Shamus said 'Mu...

Eleven Minutes
2008-03-07 06:19:00 Just finished read Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelcho.A young girl from a Brazilian village, Maria's first innocent brushes with love leave her heart-broken, convincing her at a tender age that "love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer." When a chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, she dreams of finding fame and fortune. Instead, she ends up working as a prostitute. Drifting farther and farther away from love, she develops a fascination with sex. But her despairing view of love will be put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter and must choose between pursuing a path of darkness - sexual pleasure for its own sake or risking everything to find her own "inner light" and the possibility of a "sacred" sex in the context of love.At first, it's a cliché story on how an innocent girl become a prostitute to earn money, just for the sake of survival, in their mind they can get fame and fortune easily in big city. But, Paulo told us story on how the character choos...

Have your say
2008-03-04 11:38:00 YM conversation yesterday with a dear friend inspired me to pop up this concept, well actually it's hers but she says I can post it to my blog, so here is the concept that we discussed:Could you fall in love with someone you never met?Would love to hear what you say about this, as I believe my dear friend is experiencing it now, my guts feeling says that she's the object of the love eventough the other person hasn't met her in person and the other person express it with strange way, the evidence is that this other person is obsessed with her in more way or another.The weird situation lead to another question/concept:Could you be broken hearted with someone you never met?Have your say about that concept.
Top Ten Unexplained Phenomena
2008-03-03 09:07:00 10. The Body/Mind ConnectionMedical science is only beginning to understand the ways in which the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effective - whether they actually are or not. Using processes only poorly understood, the body's ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create.9. Psychic powers and ESPPsychic powers and extra-sensory perception (ESP) rank among the top ten unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so widespread. Many people believe that intuition (see #3) is a form of psychic power, a way of accessing arcane or special knowledge about the world or the future. Researchers have tested people who claim to have psychic powers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic powers canno...
Lazy Sunday
2008-03-03 07:31:00 Sunday, March 2, 2008I like being lazy, just stay at home, watching DVD, cooking (this is special case because we're too lazy to walk to Setiabudi One).The Star Wars trilogy education has begun, so starting today and every weekend or if we have times to watch we will watch Star Wars. And after Star Wars finished, Sam wants to educate me with Indiana Jones trilogy :)Next time maybe my turn to educate Sam to watch Grey's Anatomy or Brothers & Sisters, but I guess I should tie him up to the chair otherwise he will run away.

He is, he is not...
2008-02-29 04:07:00 There is one new Aussie man in our office, and all of my colleagues are very eager to know his sexual orientation... whether he likes woman or he prefer to be with man.I know, we're not supposed to act like that but we can't help it as we spotted some of evidences:1) He's too decent for Aussie, sorry Aussie folk but it's true.. My colleague who studied in Melbourne thought the same way. I've met Sam's mates and my previous boss was Aussie too, and they all look... Aussie :))2) The office manager found big sophisticated hair dryer at his place. Note, he has short hair, not long nor curly. Why would he need that kind of hair dryer to set his hair?3) He likes to wear pink shirt. Asked some of Sam's male friends last night about pink shirt, and they said they wouldn't wear pink shirt, but then again they are working in government section not in advertising. Coz I know that some of my male's colleague from the previous office wore pink T-shirt and shirt. So, maybe this pink thin...
Top 10 most controversial ads
2008-02-28 07:17:00 AD BREAKDOWNThe Magazine's review of advertisingA record number of adverts were complained about in 2006, the Advertising Standards Authority has said. The subjects which annoyed people, including the portrayal of same-sex kisses, religion and knives, reveals something of modern day concerns.Advertising complaints can be an interesting barometer of public sensibilities. In the 1970s, an ASA report from the time said, it was "sex depravity, pornography and general sleaziness" which offended. Nowadays, even with advertising which is often far more explicit than 1970s standards, the range of subjects which offends people has changed somewhat.Here are the top 10 adverts of 2006 by volume of complaints and the ASA's decision on them.1. GAY POLICE ASSOCIATION - 553 COMPLAINTSThis advert was the most complained about in 2006. It was a national press ad which pictured a Bible and a claim from the Gay Police Association of a link between homophobic attacks and religious motivation. Several... More About: Controversial

So we have to cover this person in front of client.We were in the same meeting, but our output can be different. Sometimes I wanna yell at this person "what the hell were you doing in there, don't you listen to what the client said, that's not what they mean?!" Geez....I briefed A, but this person came up with Z... oh dear....I briefed B, this person brief the team M... sigh...I say, "the product rationale is...... so you have to think based on that" and that person reply to me say "but i don't know how....".

Taxi TV
2008-02-21 12:44:00 Took a taxi after work last night, this was not the usual taxi I & my company use.This taxi pretty new in town, they currently only have 50 cars to cover Jakarta area. How do I know this? Because I asked the taxi driver, I asked many questions last night :))The best thing with this taxi is the Satellite TV!Oh yeah... They have satellite TV in every car, not only local channel but they also have cable channels. How cool is that? It's pretty damn cool for a taxi.So for the first time during this rainy season (traffic jam in rainy season is the worst) I don't feel irritated stuck in traffic jam, because I still can enjoy American Idol while stuck in the traffic jam.I think all taxi companies should provide satellite TV in each of their car. I bet Jakartans will be very happy because we have something else to distract from the traffic jam.

The Differences
2008-02-20 07:16:00 I learn something new everyday, particularly the Ozzy/ Australians culture. Not something big though but kinda noticeable (for me).Birthday PartyIndonesian way, the birthday person usually treats her/his closest friends and all expenses will be paid by the birthday person. And the best part is the birthday person will get present/s from her/his friends.Ozzy way, the bill will be divided to the number of people there but exclude the birthday person so everybody will pay the same amount. The birthday person won't have to pay for all expenses, instead friends will pay for the birthday person, uhm... it's cool isn't it?But the birthday person won't get any present either.If I have to choose I will choose to get birthday present though, cos it's always excite me to open presents and see what's inside the box.

My dreams
2008-02-20 06:13:00 Tuesday, February 19, 2008I have dreams that one day when I retire I want to have these two things:First is Flower plantationI love seeing blossom flowers, colorful and smell nice. Although, I have no clue about the flower's type and name. Yeah I suck...There is 1 particular house in Puncak (mountain area with full of tea plantations and 2 hours drive from Jakarta) area down to Cianjur that I love so much. It's like farmer house surrounded by flowers and small pond. It's beautiful. Every time pass that street I will look out through the car window and admiring it.So I would be very happy if one day I can have flowers plantation around my house. Yeah dream on... I must be very rich to own one.The second thing is Bakery ShopNot a fancy and big bakery shop, just small and cozy one but provides damn good breads & pastries. I love the smell of fresh bread.

Bedtime Snacks that Help You Sleep
2008-02-19 12:14:00 Monday, February 18, 2008One of the best natural sedatives is tryptophan, an amino acid component of many plant and animal proteins.Tryptophan is one of the ingredients necessary for the body to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter best known for creating feelings of calm, and for making you sleepy.However, the trick is to combine foods that have some tryptophan with ample carbohydrate. That?s because in order for insomnia-busting tryptophan to work, it has to make its way to the brain.Unfortunately, all amino acids compete for transport to the brain. When you add carbs, they cause the release of insulin, which takes the competing amino acids and incorporates them into muscle?but leaves tryptophan alone, so it can make its way to the brain, be converted to serotonin, and cause sleepiness.Serotonin-producing bedtime snacks should be no more than 200 calories and should be eaten at least 30 minutes prior to bed.Here are a few great ideas:Bedtime Snacks for Adults- 6-8 oz container of ...

5 Foods for Healthier Skin
2008-02-13 07:24:00 Monday, February 12, 2008Combination of being lazy to post and caught up with works made me want to share what I found when I surf the net.I guess this tips would be useful for the upcoming Valentine's Day ;)You can invest half your paycheck in serums and creams - even splurge on dermal fillers and pricey facials - but none of it will get you far without a skin-friendly diet.Of course, your skin (and the rest of you, for that matter) is best served by a well-rounded diet, including healthy fats, sufficient protein, and lots of fruits and vegetables. But there are a few nutritional standouts that make particularly important contributions to strong, glowing skin:1. Fish: Fatty fish like salmon, tilapia, and cod are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. And that's a good thing, because our bodies cannot produce those essential lipids naturally. By adding omega-3s to your diet, though, you can bolster your skin barrier - that is, the layer of lipids that holds onto moisture and keeps irritants... More About: Skin , Foods

Movie Ratings
2008-02-11 08:46:00 Sunday, February 10, 2008What is the purpose of movie ratings?I believe the purpose is to filter the audiences. Correct me if I'm wrong.What criteria do they use to make the ratings?The rating board uses the criteria you as a parent use when deciding what is suitable viewing for your child. Theme, language, violence, nudity, sex and drug use are among those content areas considered in the decision-making process. Also assessed is how each of these elements is employed in the context of each individual film. The rating board places no special emphasis on any of these elements; all are considered and examined before a rating is given.What do the ratings symbols mean:G:"General Audiences-All Ages Admitted."This is a film which contains nothing in theme, language, nudity and sex, violence, etc. which would, in the view of the Rating Board, be offensive to parents whose younger children view the film. The G rating is not a "certificate of approval," n... More About: Movie , Ratings
