words and thoughts

First of all, I want to stress to the fact that this isn't a hate speech at all. Saya merupakan salah satu pengguna jasa Go-Jek walaupun termasuk konsumen baru; hanya untuk 1-2 bulan terakhir ini. Menurut saya kemunculan Go-Jek amatlah membantu baik itu dari kacamata customers maupun drivers nya, terlepas dari kontroversi antara Go-Jek dan ojek konvensional, berbagai keluhan aplikasi Go-Jek terutama di awal-awal peluncuran aplikasi Go-Jek, dan masih banyak kasus lagi. Jadi, dari segi pemanfaatan jasa, saya sepenuhnya mendukung ojek dan moda sarana transportasi berbasis online. Pada tanggal 18 Desember 2015 Kemenhub melarang Go-Jek dan startup ojek online lainnya untuk beroperasi karena alasan keselamatan penumpang, namun tak lama kemudian Presiden Jokowi sendiri lah yang turun tangan meminta Kemenhub mencabut larangan dikarenakan moda transportasi ojek telah diterima dan telah menjadi bagian dari opsi transportasi yang dibutuhkan oleh rakyat Indonesia. Permintaan Presiden Jok...

These days, the sharing economy phenomenon is escalating across the globe. Feel unfamiliar with the term? What about Uber, Airbnb, Etsy, or perhaps the infamous Indonesia based startup GO-JEK? Those are the well-known examples of sharing economy practice. This article will not be able to accommodate a comprehensive explanation about sharing economy; however, I hope readers will be able to conclude the essential points from my page. Benita Matofska, a worldwide expert on the sharing economy, defined the sharing economy as a socio-economic ecosystem built around the sharing of human and physical resources which includes the shared creation, production, distribution, trade and consumption of goods and services by different people and organizations. Sharing economy is also known as collaborative consumption which can be categorized into three types of systems as stated by Rachel Bostman, a collaborative economy expert.  First, Product Service Systems.  Share or rent goods which ...

You know that feeling when you found out an eye opening fact about commonly accepted thing for a very long time such as ‘right-brained and left-brained individual is just a myth’? Crazy, huh? I used to struggle over the fact that I cannot categorize myself as a right or left brained individual. Part of me wants to be an artsy musical person meanwhile I also fancy languages but I hate math etc etc.  For those people who in disbelief about that brain myth perhaps I will catch up writing a post about that. However, this current post will elaborate about detox life. Yes, it’s a myth, too. To avoid any vague argument I will stressed to the point that by detox, what I mean is the cleansing juice diet program that only limiting food consumption only into raw fruits and veggies, or fancy supplements, or certain treatments, and so on. You know, the diet that has been promoted by many celebrities, lifestyle advertising, commercial diet products and programs, and so on. To make it c...

Needless to say, in this cyber - culture era there are massive wave of virtual transactions. Borders are slightly vague, but the foreign-exchange rate difference still can be a barrier , not forget to mention the financial crisis possibility that would affect the exchange rate. What if we have our own universal currency for solely digital transactions? No dollar, no euro, etc -- just one kind of virtual cash. Digital currency is similar with conventional currency yet it is involving electronic or virtual money that endorsed by non-government central banks as alternative currency. The concept is simple, virtual economies supported by virtual money however the transactions are all real. Cryptocurrency will be down as our main focus. Cryptocurrency is one of digital currency types that using cryptographic algorithms in order to avoid counterfeiting, to keep it as secure and reliable as possible. Cryptocurrency has the same function as fiat money; it can be used as a medium of ex...

What is procrastination? For instance, it’s the temptation to check your email, your social media accounts, or simply just to check the latest viral video in YouTube in the middle of your work or tight deadline. Of course we are all familiar to this circumstance, right? We let our work target slipped but you convince yourself that you will start again tomorrow, and if it slip again you’ll decide to start again on the next Monday, and so on, and so on until you freaked out because you are so close to the deadline. Procrastination is not always about work, it can be your new year resolutions, such as losing weight, read more books, or simply just to clean up your messy room. From its origin, the word procrastination itself can be defined as ‘putting off till tomorrow’. It is a complex psychological behavior where the procrastinators usually know what they should be doing but they keep on delaying instead. But procrastination isn’t solely about a poor time ma...

200 US Marines had just arrived in the port city of Darwin, Northern Australia on Tuesday (03/04/2012). The first 200 marines is the first batch, which will be followed by another 2,500 Marines and US Military Aircraft on November through the northern city of Darwin. The US military deployment aimed to protect its national interest in Asia Pacific from China’s military rise. It is not a surprising report even though US will not explicitly state that they feel threatened because of China’s maneuver. Since China has become the world’s largest military spender in 20 years, which followed by its ambitious military objectives, subsequently US must be sensed a deterrence concern. China investing in such military capabilities like thousands of accurate land-based ballistic and cruise missiles, modern jets with anti-ship missiles, a fleet of submarines (both conventionally and nuclear-powered), long-range radars and surveillance satellites, and cyber and space weapons technology that ...
