What’s on Earth? What’s on Social Media? – Indonesia?

So, surely my observation area would be Indonesia. But, first thing first – what is Social Media?

Based on my own description, Social Media is: Any kind of online media to keep our social life.

I write this, in English, because I wanted to get involved – sharing to the whole wide world (yes, a.k.a www – LOL). What kind of sharing? Well, let’s make the limit for this one. First limit is, country coverage: Indonesia.

Next limit? Second is, popular Social Media. Third will be, habit. And the last as the fourth, will be, the impact.

Indonesia is – after all the sh*t it’s been through – a third world country, even though we won’t find Indonesia listed as third world country on the table. What table? A table, which gave me this sentence: The term Third World was originally coined in times of the Cold War to distinguish those nations that are neither aligned with the West (NATO) nor with the East, the Communist bloc. Today the term is often used to describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. Many poorer nations adopted the term to describe themselves.

I took it from a part of Nations Online web.

Popular social media here, are currently: Facebook and Twitter. In my own analogy of news-media, Facebook is sort of weekly (or even monthly) magazine. Meanwhile Twitter, is sort of daily newspaper. But, i recently learned the term of analyzing and buzzing – which gave a conclusion of, blogging activity is analyzing (yes, for you write something more than 420 characters on Facebook, and 140 on Twitter) and facebooking or twitting is buzzing.

Yes, i claimed myself as a lazy blogger – it’s so clear that, I like buzzing now (rather than analyzing). Here is another but. I read a few articles of Indonesian Blogger. Then I realized that, I write on a few places. Or even, I do that Photo Blog. Reasons of my first photo-blog was my first cellphone camera. So actually, I just have too many places to handle – LOL.

Hold on a sec, what was the purpose of the passage above? Habit. How could writing become a habit, when reading is not a popular habit. How could that happen? Indonesia people (wow, did I put myself as part oh ‘em? hahaha) likes passive activity: it’s better when the activities don’t require analyzing which could be meant – thinking is such a lot energy to use. First: Watching TV is preferable than reading – meanwhile Our National Channels are surely stupid in most programs. Second: Popular trash-reading-material are easy to find. What a good combination for us, Indonesia, to be more and more – stupid. This, could explain, the reason, why so many people here: are so reactive!

The passage above explain the habit, still happening – here, in Indonesia. That would continue to the: impact.

What impact? Let me try to explain. We used gadgets to communicate most, than to have a face-to-face communication. After all, it’s still a great thing to do: having a cup of coffee (or some beer) and a face-to-face-chat. Here, I have my last writing about it – especially when you wanted to differ the joy between Social Chat and Business Chat. Please welcome: Social Networking Sites to The Online Business.

A little more for the habit part. It is so, silly that you registered for an email account then it’s just gone away. I found out this from the accidental survey: my current (oh-a-little-bit-professional-paid-but-stupid-system)work on a restaurant brand on Fans Page (yeah, it’s that damn facebook guys). But good news is, I used my skill for Terminal Kopi (Coffee Terminal) – on that two-Indonesia-popular-social-media. Nope, I’m not promoting it – it’s in Bahasa Indonesia anyway guys. LOL.

Back to the impact session. Actually, on the other side, I’ve been thinking that Social Media is a good-enough way to filter: “to have interesting friend to keep in touch with” – and since that may sound oh-so-evil-I-am, let me add with, “to shorten the distance on communication”.

That’s all. This is, a real opinion for public. Feel free to response. Or send me an email for further communication: terminalkopi@gmail.com

Bye for now.

Enlightenment – To Enlighten and To Be Enlightened

To lighten and to be lightened – it’s just like when we say, “it takes two to tango”. Well, has been so long since I got lazy to write-up on my own blog. Before I bubble too much, let’s check a “enlighten-and-be-enlightened” image below.

Quite a funny uh? You ain’t no enlighten nothin’ when you think you did enlighten. Make it real. This thing can’t be bubbled-up.

So please let me show you the circle of My Enlightenment World:

What’s Life? It’s Creep to the Radio Head

I was quite tired with the life until I quit getting tired and star getting bored. Whatever.

Somehow I wished that I was special. But, what is special *get back again with this egg-and-chicken-two-way-monologue*?

So here we go with the lyrics (taken from here):

What Else, but Love?

“Shower this Earth, with Our Love” – (No-3-B-Princess, 2011)

(Image was taken from here, which I got after do that googling thing using Universal Love as the key-word)

Someone said by the text, “if it comes from love, how can it be wrong?”

To Do A Kid-Sitting and Learn Something In Return

I was browsing for nothing, until I got interested in Au Pair. Well, I already insert the link, just in case you’d like to check or join.

One of my friends did this about 2 years ago. Her name is Livana Pumadri, from Lampung, Sumatra, Indonesia.

Christmas – and Africa

Christmas is in December, and it’s so common to have snow around it.

Just like the gift below, I took it from Free Christmas Wallpaper.

I wish for A Snowy December

What do I do? To human, to country?

Well, suddenly I remember this Quote of Kennedy. As he was one of the President of America. I want to ask myself, what I can do to my own country, to Indonesia, to my birth land Cirebon.

another friends, another love, another life path

Bandung, 26 October 2010

What to say? Dunno. As always. Well, so many things happened as (another) always.

What am I? I am just one whom nationality is Indonesan. I was born in Cirebon, a little town in West Java.

Indonesian Proverb : Rumput Tetangga

Here is that Indonesian Proverb :

Rumput di halaman tetangga selalu lebih hijau daripada rumput di halaman sendiri.

Let’s describe the meaning behind.

Rumput means grass. But, the grass is on the yard halaman, and the yard belongs to someone. Grass of other’s yard is more green than own’s yard. What might grass mean?

The point of the meaning is, that we always see other’s life better than our own. And there are reasons bad effect for it.

To The Other Side

Many things happened. Well, that’s how life works I guess. Life goes on.

Anyway… The title of this post was taken from Red Hot Chili Pepper, Otherside. Dunno why. Just like there’s things i miss and need to do. What for? Just for myself. Sounds like selfish way to go, but that is good-enough-choice for the time being.
