Fun Theory

It’s been a long time since my last post. Well, since this blog has no meaningful progress, I’ve lose my interest to write in it.

But today I found interesting thing on the net, and I think it’s good to be shared with anybody.

I just come across to a site named thefuntheory.com that provided the ways to change people behavior with a fun method.

First time I saw the video was once in my facebook account, about people who make more people using a conventional stairs, instead of an escalator. The team work modified the stairs into a piano, so when somebody step on it, the stairs will produce a sound like a piano. It is very interesting. They make the project in a subway station. During the day, there are more people that using the stairs instead of escalator.

I especially like their slogan, ‘fun obviously changes people behavior for the better’… ‘We call it fun theory’.

I think it is true, that there are still many people do not have concern about their people around them, or their environments. Like throw away rubbish in any place instead of in a dust bin. I think it’s a good idea to make a fun method to change behavior for the better, don’t you agree?

But, there are some of people enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from Adsense ads on their websites. What makes they different is that they are different and they think out of the box.

There are some tips you could use that have boosted quite a lot of earnings in the past, and is continously doing so.

Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (335 X 280). This format have the tendency to result in higher CTR (click-through rates). It is basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking in them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. And then, this will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring.

I Don't Know

I am wondering on my self sometimes, and this makes me think to check if there any body feel the same ways..
Like these ones
Feels like you're not belong to any place you have related to..
Sometimes I feel like Im trapped in between places that Im not belong to. Like, when Im in Semarang, and then I feel like I miss home, but when Im home, I just wanna get going soon..

Or like when you're not match with other people around you.
I often have clash with somebody. Parents, friends, even close friends. Like they never understand me. Or maybe I don't understand them? I don't know.


Well, when I read The Twilight Series, I think I will be glad when I know that there is a place in where I can be like what I should be, like Bella that at last know she was born to be a vampire, and feels like her place is being with the vampires. I don't know..

Right, this is silly. But I red The Secret too, and I think, somehow, far before I red it, I know that I believe in the words that written there. That when we believe in something, then we could make it true. The more specific we think about what we want, the more close we can get it in a real life.

It's like when I have some dreams about going aboard, and then I really going aboard. Singapore. Well, not really in vacation, but it was close. So close.

I don't know, but hey.. I'll keep do the best. That's what we all need to do, right?

A good communication is one way to building a good relationship, for your family life, or even business. Being an effective speaker can give you more chance to make a good lobbying, getting a better deal, or even just making friend with great people.

I my self often having difficulty when I have to stand in front of a crowd and say something meaningful, or even something silly. But hey, we have to keep learning to improve ourself, right.

When you feel the same way, here are some tips I found to empowering your communication. It’s pretty simple and easy to do.

Share what you know
If you want to be an effective speaker, you must able to share what you know and that means you always have to keep learning, even when we know that we all have our limitations.

Listening
It’s not just listening to other people, but also trying to understand, and give them your attention. When you be a good listener you will gain somethings new to share with other.

Humility
When speaking in a group, don’t be afraid to ask when there’s something that you don’t understand.

Eye Contact
It’s an important to making eye contact with your audience, so you can show your listener that you give them a full attention. In a large group, try to keep focus when you talking.

Kidding around
When your listeners starting to get bored, try to add a little bit of humor, so you will get their attention back, and your listener will feel that you’re just as approachable.

Be like the rest of them
Interaction is all about mingling with other people. You'll get a lot of ideas, as well as knowing what people make them as they are.

Me, Myself, and I
It’s as important as listening to other, you also need to listen to your own voice. Practicing your speech in front of a mirror can help you to improve your speaking.

With a smile
Expressing what you mean to say better with a smile. Just like an eye contact, people are much easier to listen when you use a friendly gesture, like smile.

A Role Model
Surely there are some people that you consider as a good speaker. Even when they read their lines, you still can taking a mental note on how they emphasize what they say and how they gain the public attention.

Preparation
A good preparation is a half way to success. Remember to not make it to be just scribbing notes in a hurried panic, write your points or lines orderly, so you can always keep up with what you say.

These tips are amateurish, I realize, but I think it can help us when it comes the time to public or private speaking. Don’t forget to be with people and listen how they make conversation.

Questions For You

After my 23 years of living, still I am looking for something that can makes me think to stop looking, but seems like I have some difficulties to do that.

It's like when people around me told me to be the best of you, but I just having problem to get out of my save circle. I like to try to do something new, but I don't like to be unstable and unusual.

And I always wondering on somethings that keep come in my heads when I feel like I am trapped in an unstable situation. Maybe we all ask the same question, but then I found these theories to catch up my mind, even I need more practice to do that like in the theories....

What do I really want?

I often get drowned on this. Like so many things I wanna do, but doh, there are only 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, and I am wasting too much time...

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

Should I really change?
For many times I promise to my self to change, in a good way, but it's not always easy, right....?

If history has taught us one thing, it's the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.

What's the bright side in all of this?
It looks like positive thinking, like the wise man said, 'when you wearing a green glasses, you will see greens everywhere...'


With so much is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it's a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!

Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?
This is pretty easy, except when it's including meet someone new, and must start the conversation, or standing in the front of people and make silly...

There's always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.

Have I done enough for myself?
I only have one answer for this, not....

Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you'll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.

Am I happy at where I am today?
I am happy all days, even I still dreaming on being somewhere else... is that wrong?

It's an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!

Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
I prefer... inside beauty...

So maybe I don't have an answer to that, but that doesn't mean I can't try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.

How much could I have?

I suppose in this case there is no such things on having things too much or too little, but it's more on how badly you really need it. I'd like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?

What motivates me?

What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the hardest part. It's not like you can't have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just try it piece by piece.

What Really Makes You Tick?

So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it's something that you really want.

Borobudur

I visited Borobudur Temple in last long weekend (July 19th 2009). Actually, it was my first visit time. And I've come in the right time, since there were Borobudur International Festival (BIF) held there for 3 days.

I spent 3 hours on my bike to reach Borobudur, and whalaaa... it was a very very crowded day, since it was a long weekend, so I don't have many chance to take a good picture cause there were too many people around.

Actually, there were many event held in BIF, and I really hope that I can watch the dance performance from other countries, but the dances were performed in the evening, started from 7 pm till 10pm, and I couldn't stay there that long, since I had limited budget (:">), but I am glad enough that I can visit Borobudur temple. I was so amaze to see the glory and detail of the temple's relief, and still wondering on how did the people can build such a great building, since in that time, they were only use a traditional methods and techniques.

Save The Earth With Responsible Travel

Hey... the vacation season is over - least in my country here. But I just read about Responsible Travel. I think it's a good idea to enjoy travel while giving a contribution to help to save our earth.

One point I read is about visiting blue flag beaches and marines. Blue flag beaches and marines have some criteria relating about requirements and standards for water and safety qualities.

So by visiting these beaches or marines, there will be more beaches or marines that try to reach that requirements by rising their qualities, so it can be a support to save our earth.

However, when I read further information in the web, I can't find the beaches in my country in the list. I don't know why... is it because of our beaches and marines are too polluted? If it's right, well, that's not too wrong I think, that when I visit some beaches, in some region here, there are many litters spread around.

Well, I think that means we have to rise our tourism standards, right? Read More...

After some days of thinking, I decided to visit Solo first. Since it will be my first backpacking adventure, so I choose the easy place first. Besides, I have some relatives there, so when things go too wrong, I have somebody to cry for help....hahaha...

But till now I still collect as much as information I need to go there safely and nicely.

So please, if there's somebody have some or many suggestion, ideas, or whatever to help... bring it on... Read More...

But Im enjoying this job, beside since that I don't have another jobs and Im starting running out money, I find many interesting things too in here... I just know that scab in our skin is produced from red cells blood. It makes me going back to when I was in junior high school.

Well, it makes me remember, like a wise man said... don't give up, do your best...... because nothing precious comes easy, right? Read More...

JOBLESS

Wednesday, April 29th 2009. That was my graduation ceremony day. Finally, after this 4,5 years, I finished my study. And Im now an unemployment.... but, actually, I don’t think that Im a jobless. I have a job, I make money, even in a small amount. Too bad that people around me don’t think so. Even though they can see that I do make money, but they keep thinking that Iam jobless, and take a pity on me.

That makes me think that there is something wrong in the way we think. And the truth is, it is how most of our people way of think. Even my parents said that I have to get a job in a bank, or a firm, or something like that, when I told them that I want to be an entrepreneur. Most of our people think that people who have finished their education, they have to be an employee.

In fact, after this global crisis that attack most of countries in the world, the number of unemployment is rising dramatically. When getting a job become difficult, then why don’t we create our own job? Being entrepreneur is one way out. There’s nothing better than become a boss of yourself. You can work, you can play, you can have more spare time, and you can decide how much income you desire.

Here are some points you gotta check when you stuck in a jobless live:

Create a chance

Start from a small things in your neighbourhood. Keep on eye for a change happens around you. Learn what other people need, and fulfill it. Find out if there is a problem around your society, give them the solution.

Building network

Building network is a very important thing to do. The more relations you have, the bigger chance you will get. Help your friends as long as you can, and create a solid network so when you need help, your network will help you kindly.

Taking a risk

Just like a phrase in a movie – which I can’t remember the title – ‘no risk, no glory’. In bussiness, there will always a risk. You can get profit sometimes, and in other times, you lose.

Working harder

A success person always work two times harder than other people. So keep your hard work till the end and never give up.

Be creative

Keep learning, keep smart and creative. Always come up with new innovation so people will always waiting for you.

Be patience

Like old man said, ‘what come easy, will gone easily’. It perhabs will take days, weeks, months, or years before you finally get success.

Believe in you

It maybe take a long way to your success, but if you believe, there’s nothing impossible. Just believe in yourself.

LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP

A friend of mine, has a boyfriend staying out of town. They have this relationship form some years. Then sometimes ago, she met this guy, who treat her nicely, and soon, their relationship go beyond friendship. So now she is having two boyfriend in a sametime.

Sometimes, it makes me laugh to see how she handle them. She tell him that she miss him, and tell the other him that ‘I hardly can’t live without you here, baby’....

I know I can’t trust people easily – some of friends said that Im a suspicious – that’s why I choose not to have a long distance relationship. I feel that I can’t live here while he is far out there doing something with someone I don’t know, driving me nutts I guess.... (lol)

But, there is also a friend of mine that has a succesfull long distance relationship. They trust each other, she told me. They talking in phone for hours, chatting, emailing each other. They almost never having a dispute indeed.

So if you’re boyfriend or girlfriend is going to go to far far away, here are some comparison between long distance relation ship and close distance relationship.

· In close distance relation, your chance to know what he is doing, who he see or meet, is bigger than a long distance one. Of course its not that easy when your partner is having a job. You can’t always stick on him can you?

· If you are a kind of person that easy to fall in love, just dont take a long distance. The same way if you are a suspicious. It’s going to be too hard to take.

· Having limited gadget or budget is an obstacle for a long distance relation. You will need to phone her or him like three or four times a day, or just one time, but for hours. Your phone bill will make you collapse at the end.

· It may be vary, but long distance make you miss each other so when you talk, you don’t want to having a debate. It can work the other way. You won’t stop to argue each other because of a missunderstood or misscommunication. But, as my boyfriend said, the more we argue, the more romantic we are when we made up.

There you go. And I still choose a close distance relationship. I hardly can’t live.... Read More...

EARTH DAY

Some days ago i received email from Greenpeace. I know I’ve signed up to be a member of Greenpeace website, but since Im not an active member, I’ve forgotten my username and password to enter into my account in that website. I do feel guilty, truly, but I still can receive some routine emails from them, and I usually forward it to some of my friends.

There are some email that interesting for me, especially about wood that be used to make paper. It is too bad for us to lose big parts of our forests to make paper. Of course they said that they only fell the old enough trees to make paper. But, is it better to lose an ancient forest? I think it looks like a dilemma for us. Of course we can’t stay out of paper, tissue, paper bag, or anything that made from paper. The best thing we can do is to reduce the use of it, I guess, and recycling, of course. I do make recycle paper that made of unused papers, and coloured it with spices, grass, or flowers. And you know, the result is an unique papers with some sweet smells.

Here is the technique I use to make recycled paper

First, I cut some unused paper become small parts. The smaller it is, the easier it to shattered and blend. Then I put the shattered paper in a bucket of water for some days, usually I left it for two days. After two days, I just blend it in a blender – I’ve broken one of my mother’s blender to make this paper. The paper become a pulp in blender. Then I cast it using a strainer and spread it in the sun to dry. Usually I use these papers to make a birthday card, photo frame, or gift box.

There also some other ways we can do to keep this planet green.

Reduce the use of plastic bag

Plastic is an undissolvable elements that has been accumulate in our land for years. It can close the water way and create floods. Use the recycleable paper bag instead, or reuse the plastic bag. Bring your own paper bag or plastic bag when you go to the market.

Reduce the use of gasoline

Crude oil below our land has been mined for centuries. We should start to use it wisely from now. If you’d like to go to a near place, please, choose to take a walk. Not only you reduce the emission that released by your motorbike that creat a greenhouse effect, take a walk is good for your health also. Sometimes I think, it will be much better when the invention of solar cell can be more developed. Imagine you ride a comfortable car using a solar cell instead of gasoline.

Switch off your lamp

In the morning, or noon, when the weather is bright, and the sun is shining, switch off your lamp. And also other stuff in your house that you don’t use. Open wide the window to get some fresh air instead using a fan or AC. Switch off television that you don’t watch.

Plant some greens

There is nothing better than when you open your window in the morning, you can see the color of beautiful flower in your garden. Looking at the green out there, will make your mind relax. Smelling the sweet of flowers will make you more happy and reduce your stress. Trees also can shield your house from air pollution. Plant some fruit trees is even better. You can get your own mangoes, apples, or orange from your garden.

You see, there are many easy ways we can do for Mother Earth. I know that it’s not a big contribution, but I’ll do what I can do. And if we all do, we can save it before it’s too late.

CLOTHING INVENTION

Clothes were originally invented to protect people against the elements. As civilizations developed, people made clothes for more spesific purposes and devised ways to improve their clothes, by making them warmer, more waterproof or simply easier to get on and off.

Zipping up

In 1893 American Whitcomb Judson invented a sliding device with interlocking teeth that he used for fastening boots. Unfortunately, his device tended to jam or burst open. In 1914, Gideon Sundback made the first zip fastener to be used in clothing.

Foot wear

Early people devised various kinds of footwear to protect their feet from hard and stony ground. Many shoes, like an Aztec sandal, were made from plant fibres.

Waterproof fabric

Collapsible umbrellas were in use before 1800, but were very heavy. In 1848 Samuel Fox introduced steel frames, which were much lighter.

Jeans

Jeans were first made in 1874 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. They were designed for gold miners, who complained that their ordinary trousers wore out too quickly.

Lycra

Lycra introduced in 1959. Lycra was originally intended for underwear. Its figure-hugging qualities make it ideal for all kinds of clothing from swimwear to socks. Read More...

TELUK PENYU BEACH, CILACAP

It is probably not as famous as Kuta Beach in Bali or some other beaches in Indonesia, but, it’s famous enough in Cilacap, Purbalingga, West Java, Indonesia.

I went here last weekend. Actually, it is not in our schedule to visit the beach. We went to Cilacap to visit our family in Karang Talun, Cilacap.

We left Tegal at 5.30 in the morning, and arrived in Cilacap at 8.00. On the way to my family’s house, we suddenly had thought that it’s been a long time since the last time we had picnic together. So we decided to go to Teluk Penyu. Unfortunately, the beach is not too easy to find. There are some signs in the street that shows you the direction of the beach, but when we follow it, we get lost, so we have to asked some people around. And after about an hour, we finally found the beach.

After paid tickets for Rp 5000,- per each person, and the car has parked, we took a walk around the beach. But soon, it’s not the beach that attracked us most, but it was the souvenir shops that stand along the beach. There are so many of them. Most of them sold souvenirs and crafts made from shells, and other sea creatures. They sold, lamp caps, curtain, brittle, and some other kind of crafts. The price is ranged between Rp 10.000,- to more then Rp 100.000,-.

From the beach, we can see Nusakambangan, an island that famous for the prison that located there. But, Nusakambangan also interesting to visit because of its beauty.

Lets Start The Green Life

The sound of Beware of Global Warming has been screamed out loud these last years, but the real act to stop the global warming has not been optimized, I think.

Some days ago my friend said that she just watch the video in You Tube and told me that there are some people saying that human are not responsible for global warming. It really makes me wondering on how could they said that. So who will take the responsible?

I think we all now that we, human being, are the most mindful creature in the world. We're the one who build that building above the forest land, who dig that mines, who drop the litter and chemical poison in the sea.

Even now, we already can see the bad effects of global warming. The floods, fire in forests, there are many people died already.

I think it's about the time we start the green life. Because we only have one home like Earth. Read More...
