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?

Building Relationship with Empowering Your Communication

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.


There were some exhibitions too, like fashion, art, and paint. Read More...

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...

BACKPACKING

Im interest with backpacking since I red the 'Laskar Pelangi'. But that interest seems didn't grow for long time. And then, I went to Singapore, which I've told to the world in my other blog, and that interest start to rise again.

And now, since I became a productive jobless, I have plenty of leasure time, and I started to collect some things in my mind to realizing my dream.

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...
