You Might Need Brand New Eyes

In this post I will complain about something... Because I am sort of good at it HAHA. (Okay, that capitalised laugh is a lame) Okay, so have you ever argued with people who always thinks that they're always right without even giving the slightest assumption that the opposition maybe, just maybe, is in fact the right side? Those people deserve high-fives. In the face. With a chair. Twice. From Hulk. HAHA (I'm sure you've heard that joke before) (lame). But anyway, what I'm trying to say is that these people are really slowing down the advancement of the human race in a way. Why? Because I guess two of the things that a 21st century human must have is respect and an open-mind. If you don't have even one of these then by all means I have the right to call you an "utter prick" or a "douche" the Americans might say. These people tend to think that no matter what, they're always right. And that is indeed stupid. You're lucky if this pers...

Indonesia's 70th Independence Day!

Today is the August 17 yeayy! It marks 70 years of Indonesia's independence and it is indeed a day to celebrate. Today is obviously a national holiday but students and civil workers are required to attend the flag ceremony in their respective work places. The ceremony usually lasts for like a little less than an hour. It's not necessarily a fun thing to do but when you consider the historical vibe that's going on around then it's really something you'd do without having anything in return. Oh, and I definitely have to tell you about the ongoing tradition we have when it's nearing this exact day. Usually each and every neighbourhoods would sort of host various "competitions". I wouldn't really call them competitions because they're too not serious to be considered so but technically they're still a competition so, yeah. I don't really know how to explain or give examples about the competitions we have because if you're somebody not...

Blogging is Hard

Bloggers are amazing people. Because blogging is like really really really hard. To have something to write everyday and actually write it so that you can eventually post it is insanely hard. That's why I really do appreciate all the daily bloggers out there. They are indeed a prime example.  The weird thing is that most people think it's so easy. I mean at first it is because when you just had the thought to make a blog you're mind is literally filled with tons of idea and you feel an irresistible urge to post it online. But after that phase, you literally have nothing. Nothing. Well to be honest you actually do still have one thing you still have a choice. Whether you want to continue making something and push yourself so that you can continue finding new limits, or whether you want to just leave that sudden urge to make a blog just a sudden urge to make a blog. I say that as if I know a lot though hahaha. Well the thing is that I don't. But I know these things fr...

Friends & Trust

I only have a few friends. I mean at my school there's about 320 people in my year alone and I do know most of them. But I wouldn't say that I have a lot of friends. I have a lot of acquaintance, yes. But not a lot of friends. And the very reason for this is trust. I'm just that kind of guy who doesn't like to be disappointed by the people that I trust. Especially if I trust them a lot. And my preventive action to that is sort of qualifying the people that I know so I'm sure I'm being friends with the people that I can actually trust. In Indonesia, having a a few friends is not really good in the social point of view. In fact if I were to say so myself, being an introvert or showing too many acts of introversion is like a social crime. My teacher once called me arrogant and selfish because I don't have a lot of friends. And that same exact teacher would probably still say the same now. The thing is that those people don't understand how it feels to b...

Anarchists? Tell Them to F Off.

Have you ever met people who just don't like to settle problems? If there's a problem they just want to prove that they're the best compared to the other party. And the thing is they don't really care if they're right or wrong. I mean even if you are the right side at a certain matter then you still don't have the right to actually punch someone in the face or shove them off your way. Let alone if you're wrong. Especially if you're wrong. And the fact that these anarchists don't think just annoys me like hell. I have encountered an anarchist before. And they all lack intelligence if not simply brainless. So I've had a certain problem with this anarchist. Let's just call him "Rodney" cause that name seems appropriate. So once upon a time this Rodney guy appeared in my life and tried to make some mess in it which he accomplished doing. I tried to talk with this guy. Figure out what he wants and maybe find a solution to our case. But...

The XXI Cinema Has No Concept of Queuing

So a few days ago I went to watch a movie with my lads. I watched in the XXI Cinema (read: Twenty One Cinema) in a nearby mall. So I went there early to get the tickets (I don't usually do that). I knew that by the time I got there the cinema (let alone ticket counters) aren't even open yet and I plan to queue in front of the cinema entrance with the FEW early queuers. I got there at around 10.30 and I was mistaken. The few early queuers aren't few at all. There are LOADS of them. But anyway I decided to join the queue anyway because I needed to get the tickets whatsoever. Besides, I wouldn't expect to experience such a long delay. http://www.21cineplex.com/data/gallery/pictures/141836677474355_1000x667.jpg I expected the cinema to open at 11. But it opened somewhere on 11.15 which is already a let down. But the biggest let down that day was when the cinema actually opened. So here's the situation. The cinema entrance and the ticket counters are a few metr...

What I Think About Zedd's New Album

So I actually got the True Colors album quite a while ago. And I have listened to it several times. It simply is awesome. I'm not like a really really super committed EDM fanboy. But the kind of music that Anton Zaslavski makes is simply different. I know that EDM is a actually a large music genre and there are a lot of sub-genres in it but that's about what I know. My knowledge isn't really that deep when it comes to EDM and I don't know what EDM sub-genre that Zedd specialises in. But I can definitely tell that it's different. When I say "different", I'm not only talking about the tunes and the beats and the drops or whatever. I'm also talking about the lyrics. Every song that Zedd makes always tells a story and I find that awesome. It's not like AronChupa's Albatraos that tells about a mouse named Lorry and suddenly it had something to do with the word "albatraos" which I thought was a name of a bird but in the end turned out...
