My friend was really upset today. I didn’t say anything at first and let him talk, hoping that soon he’d feel better. But he just became more and more antsy and bothered so I said, “Want to go out for some coffee?” without thinking because coffee fixes my problems most of the time. He quickly agreed and we left his house.
We passed his neighbour, an old woman who has...

Anonymous asked: Did you own these two: http://realmadriddaily.tumblr.com/ and http://manchesteruniteddaily.tumblr.com/
I thought I saw the link to your personal blog here, but now they're gone. Love them both by the way.

Buried
I had expected to see a lot of darkness in Buried, and I was right. Starting a movie with a completely black screen for more than a minute is very unusual and yet at the same time I think is a great way to build the audience’s mood because seeing darkness makes us feel uneasy. We are almost desperate to see a hint of light but and then there are heavy, too heavy, breathing sounds, and we...

I spent half an hour trying to translate this paradox “veiled hints that revealed in half concealing” to Indonesian.
Very well said, Kate Chopin!

पारमिता
My middle name is Paramita, a Sanskrit word used to make my name sounds “more Indonesian”. I love it more than my first name despite the fact that I’ve always had at least one classmate with the same middle name every year.
I tried several times to look for its meaning because my beloved mother, the one who picked the name can’t recall its original meaning, her Sanskrit...

Lunar eclipse 2010: Moon goes dark red for rare... →
This was the first time a total lunar eclipse occurred on the winter solstice since 1638. As a result, the moon appeared “very high in the night sky, as the solstice marks the time when Earth’s axial tilt is farthest away from the sun,” NASA said.
It won’t fall on this day again until 2094, according to U.S. Naval Observatory spokesman Geoff Chester.
Only those in...

My Morning Playlist
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Light passed through the closed window blinds, failed any attempt I made to lengthen my rest. I could hear the neighbor’s dog’s loud complaints and someone’s eating downstairs, their spoon and forks clanging against the plate. They echoed and woke other things inside my head. But I still didn’t want to wake up. The bedsheet was...

Do you know when you buy an office chair and the caster wheels are bubble wrapped? Don’t unwrap them.
I wish you very fun next few days.

Instead of working on my papers, I use most of my time refreshing my Tumblr Dashboard page, checking La Liga fixtures, laughing at baby panda videos, basically anything but doing my work.
When it’s already late I realize that time is running out but then I start yawning and my eyes water so I go to sleep.
I have no self control and zero motivation.

Al Jazeera is currently showing a program about street children in Indonesia, showing picture of them licking rusty iron pole on the street, telling us how some of them fry rotten food to eat everyday.
This afternoon a friend of mine told me how an American found it weird when my friend visited her boyfriend in LA and said something like “Your country is very beautiful and it has...

Have you ever listened to a song you already knew somewhere, maybe in a movie, and then it made you look for that particular song again on your iPod, you realized you haven’t played it in a year, and now you’re playing it again and again anytime anywhere?

Here are some taglines I love:
National Geographic channels: Live Curious
The Awl: Be Less Stupid
Perez Hilton, “Celebrity Juice, Not from Concentrate” is very witty, but it’s you. There’s no way anything you-related is going to make it to any of my lists.

For Your Brain Only
I decided to pull a random article from Wikipedia to make you smarter today.
Aulacopris is a genus of Scarabaeidae or scarab beetles in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea.
Because maybe there will be millionaire on the street that’s going to say, “I will give you ten million dollars if you could tell me what an aulacopris is.” You never know.
Don’t forget to mention...
