This Little Four-Square-Thing Called : Gadget!

It’s been a while since the last time i wrote posts in my blog(s) – yes, i actually have 9 (American accent). But this time, since this topic has been running around in my head, i thought to write it instead. I want to share with you guys on what has been going on with…

34: Living Inspired and Inspiring…

Being a leader was not something I have in mind in life. I always love to be a follower rather than to be a leader, probably because I grew up as the youngest and always led by my older siblings. But then again I realise that when you are destined to be a leader, then…

Photo Blog: Simply Different

This photo is actually an old one, but whenever I see this photo, I’m actually reminding myself that I’m a uniquely made; shouldn’t die as a copy. That’s why I named this picture as ‘Simply Different’.

Luang Prabang: Euphoria of Tourism or Respecting a Ritual?

Traveling to other places, especially those unusual, will definitely open up your eyes; seeing everything from different point of view. This year, me and my friends decided to travel to Lao. Some people would definitely raised one of their eyebrows, as Lao is not really a usual place for people to go, I reckon. It’s…

Climate Change Adaptation: Is It Real or Simply a Jargon?

One thing that i like about having discussions with various people, is the art of having different heads on one particular issue. It doesn’t matter really about the ‘title’ of the issue, or the name, or whatever. As long as you can catch the essence of the issues, then basically you’re in the right path….

Sustainability: Aren’t We Have the Right to Grow?

Many people are talking about sustainability. But trust me, if you ask them, what sustainability is, most of them will trap into definition, but they couldn’t really explain it in practical ways. For me, it is simple; sustainability is simply an ability to sustain. Ability means you can do things. The word sustain itself, could…

TEDx Jakarta: A New Experience of Ordinary Living

I have never heard about TED actually (to be honest), but i surely believe that there’s no such thing as coincidence. I still remember some time ago when i was reading my twitter-timeline, and suddenly bumped into an id called @TEDxJakarta . Visited their website attracted me to register to the event. What i didn’t…

Energy Poverty: Do We Need a Magic?

Economy has always becoming something that we blame on, in regards to poverty, or something related with the term of ‘poor’. Interestingly, i have learned that the term ‘poor’ is not always about money; the term poor can also related to your knowledge, creativity, networks (friends and relations), and other things, be that intangible or…

Climate Change Adaptation: Is It Sidelined?

I guess, several years after the first United Nations Framework on Climate Change Convention Conference of Parties (UNFCCC COP) has enrolled, the issue of adaptation became more vague than ever. In the international level, several initiatives were offered, yet it has not been yet implemented. The issue of Adaptation Fund under the Kyoto Protocol, still…

Bira: A Silent Beauty of An Island

As Thousand Island has around 397 small islands, on of my dreams is to visit all islands, someday. The fact is there are some islands to which boats services are not exist. Therefore, you need to hire your own boat, or sail with your own yacht. Realizing that i’m more into a low-budget-traveler, i chose…

Energy Efficiency: Something We Tend to (ALWAYS) Forget

Energy security has becoming one issues that grows nowadays. While it is actually a very old issue, yet, wehave to admit that prediction, estimation, projection, has turn into reality. Scenarios for energy security start to emerging; the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies, renewable energy development, and many others. But not so many studies emphasizing…

Rio+20: Grasping the Ideas

The Rio+20 fever seems to be more spreading than before. Though not so many people could really grasp on what kind of topics that would be discussed in the next June’s Rio Summit, yet everybody is starting to think about what kind of calls that they would pursue in the Summit. From lots of ‘conversations’…
