Blogwalking (Chapter: 2)


Everyday we start a day with some news. Either via twitter, chit chat, morning news broadcast, or newspaper. Since 2010, I was giving up on newspaper because I rarely read the whole news and its difficult to store obsolete newspaper. I switched to website and blog for some news.
Unlike Indonesian newspapers which loaded with political news and its owner agenda (and interest), some site and blog still offer fresh and helpful view for a better world. Well, I can still read newspapers at local library,so I stopped my daily newspaper subscription. Besides, twitter and Google+ could give me faster stream of news at seconds.
So here’s my daily dose of news which I embedded at feedly and opera mini”
  1. Lifehack (www.Lifehack.org)
Lifehack give some “how to” tips for us to sail through our life. Either funny, inspirational or soothing, they have it all. 

  1. College Fashion (www.collegefashion.net)
I admit that I love reading about fashion or beauty although I’m reluctant to give them some shot. I’ve tried some and turn out that I didn’t like wearing jewellery, intricate hijab or knotty vest. But CollegeFashion throw ideas for simple and wearable fashion. She gain her inspiration from people she met or from TV series. Her idea is refreshing, so I keep on reading her blog every morning

  1. New York Times (www.nytimes.com )
Shift to serious news, New York Times give neutral news about everything happen around the world. Unlike Kompas or Detik that lack of investigation journalism, New York Times give me different point of view for news. 

  1. Kontan (www.Kontan.co.id)
The one and only Bahasa news that I read everyday. Kontan offer business and economy news from Indonesia and World. Kontan news are better written, delicately giving report to its subscribers than its sibling, Kompas. When reading Kontan, everything about Indonesia looks very prosperous and bright.

  1. Chictopia (Chictopia.com)
This one similar to CollegeFashion or Lookbook.nu. Both Chictopia and Lookbook let people share their outfit with themself as the model 

  1. Zerohedge (http://zerohedge.com)
The most serious and deep blog I’ve ever read and still going on until today. Zerohedge offer deep thoughts and analysis about every business and economy event and affair. Most of its news come from USA’s business blogger. Its very worth to read because by connecting event past and present I can forecast (or at least imagine the big picture) what will happen in the future and how to face it

  1. Careerealism (www.careerealism.com)
Must to read for every fresh graduates or whoever looking for a job and wanna accomplish something in their life. Similar to Lifehack, Careerealism give some tips too. But more niche, like how to face interview or how to talk properly to colleague or supervisor.

Bagus Serap Air

    Konsekuensi dari tinggal di kamar kos dekat pohon besar adalah kamar yang lembab. Begitu pula dengan kamar saya. Tepat di depan kamar menjulang pohon mangga. Kaum tetumbuhan setiap malam rajin mengeluarkan karbon dioksida dan uap air sepanjang hari. Tidak heran kamar saya menjadi lembab, rentan jamur, baju dan buku terancam lapuk.     Untuk itulah saya memerlukan desiccants alias penyerap lembab yang dapat menyerap uap air dengan kuat. Saya pun mencoba Bagus Serap Air varian 450 ml sekali pakai. Bahan Aktif yang digunakan ialah butiran kalsium klorida (CaCl). Hasilnya? Dalam waktu 30 hari satu wadah penuh terisi cairan air dan garam yang berasal dari kelembaban di kamar saya.

Teh Tarik

Bagi sebagian besar masyarakat Indonesia, minuman bernama teh tarik ini bisa dibilang barang baru. Minuman yang berasal dari campuran teh hitam dengan susu ini baru dikenal awal tahun 200an, saat beberapa restoran menawarkan menu-menu ala negeri jiran, terutama Malaysia dan Singapura. Teh tarik biasa disajikan bersama roti bakar dan wafel di restoran-restoran ini.     Teh tarik sering rancu diartikan sebagai teh susu. Walau benar sebagian, ada perbedaan kecil antara teh tarik dan teh susu. Teh tarik adalah teh susu yang dituang bolak-balik di antara dua gelas besar sehingga menghasilkan cita rasa yang khas. Teh susu yang biasa disajikan di booth-booth berbagai merek teh biasanya hanya teh hitam dicampur susu yang dikocok beberapa saat dengan es batu.

The Last Ship

Sebuah virus yang lebih mematikan dari Ebola dan lebih menular dari SARS menyerang penduduk bumi. Belum ada vaksinnya. Penduduk dunia yang tewas karena virus bertambah dengan cepat dari hari ke hari. Harapan terakhir ada di pundak virolog Dr. Rachel Scott dan awak kapal USS Nathan James. Mereka berjuang mencari vaksin virus tersebut agar dapat segera diberikan kepada orang-orang yang terinfeksi. The Last Ship adalah tontonan yang tepat bagi wanita pencandu ketegangan tapi tidak ingin kehilangan hiburan wajah-wajah tampan. Marinir-marini kapal USS Nathan James adalah gambaran ideal pasukan angkatan laut. Taktis, kuat, gesit, lincah, serba bisa, dan lumayan punya rasa humor. Bagi para wanita, inilah salah satu serial yang memanjakan mata.
