Coffee and Contemplation - 1

on
  It was a pleasant evening, and I always order a Japanese iced filter whenever I spend time at this particular slow bar in Jakarta. As I sipped my 50k-something coffee, my mind began to contemplate the passage of time. Ten years ago, I only paid 18k for the same menu item, the same beans. I understand how inflation works, and I know that coffee crops depend heavily on nature to thrive. Yet, as I sat there, I realized how drastically prices have skyrocketed over the last decade—not just for coffee, but for everything. Even though my salary has increased fourfold in that time, I still feel as though my buying power has weakened. It wasn't just the price of the beans that bothered me; it was the realization that the cost of living is quietly eroding everything I’ve worked for. I won't go into the weeds of government mismanagement, but it reminded me of a scene in The Trial of the Chicago 7 , where Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character asks Sacha Baron Cohen’s about his contempt for hi...

Morning Blog

on
Kalau orang-orang baca koran saban pagi, gue lebih memilih bacain blog orang-orang. Walaupun dengan resiko pengetahuan gue ngga bertambah. Hahaha. Here's some of them:

Wanderbites, food blog milik Fellexandro Ruby ini udah gue tongkrongin dari pertengahan 2010. Once I tweet about this awesome guy: I fall in love with the way u write. It's so captivated. Mercy heaven, walau gue adalah makhluk imaginer, Ruby berhasil tau eksistensi gue (halah).

Bon! Pictorial, sort of portfolio blog like mine, penulisnya Arman Yonathan adalah pemuda terunik yang gue sukai. Dia suka artis Thailand dibanding Korea, dia mendengarkan bossanova, swing dan lainnya yang gue nggak ngerti. Dia kebetulan kerja bareng gue di Gogirl! Jujur, dalam beberapa photoshoot gue suka nggak sependapat dengan dia. Dan dia suka nggak mau dengerin pendapat gue sebelum gue ngambek, hahaha.

My Kind of Person, gue mengetahui pemilik blog ini bernama Sadie. Gue suka bagaimana ia dengan lancar bercerita tentang segalanya. Semua mengalir sampai-sampai gue ngerasa ikut berada di dalam keseharian dia. Blog unik yang berfokus pada alas kaki dan memberi judul postingannya dengan angka.

Random Soliloquy, awalnya gue nemu blog milik Chekka ini pas terpaksa jadi fashion stylist di tempat kerja gue yang sebelumnya. Akhirnya Chekka punya fashion blog sendiri, misah dengan personal blognya. Tapi favorite gue tetep personal blognya ini. She writes about anything, dan gaya nulisnya yang konyol, lugas, kejam, sadis dll bikin gue menyeringai saat membacanya. Kami berbagi selera sarkas yang sama.

Gue baru banget men-deactive-kan Twitter gue. Sebagai gantinya, gue membuat ini. Dan walau gue tau itu adalah Tumblr, gue memperlakukannya layaknya ia adalah Twitter.

So, I just spent my every morning reading those blogs, wondering when will they have new posting. But, never bored scroll down to their oldest post. Keep Inspiring, guys.
