Adore Anne Hathaway !

I adore Anna Hathaway so much. Especially when she's on the red carpet. She never chooses wrong dress I think. Also I like her acting in Princess Diaries, Devil Wears Prada, Get Smart, Ella Enchanted, and Alice in Wonderland. She's an amazing actress and I believe she'll have a very good career in Hollywood.

 

 

See? She's amazing the way she is. One of my favorite actress of all time.

Perjalanan belajar bisnis (2006-2010)

Postingan ini saya posting di kaskus untuk sharing sesama kaskuser

Saya sudah berkenalan dengan dunia internet sejak 4 tahun lalu, waktu masih kelas 3 SMP. Tapi waktu itu internet hanya untuk sekedar nyari tugas atau buka friendster (pas belum jamannya Facebook). Waktu SMA kelas 1, baru tau tentang blog, akhirnya nyoba2 buat blog tapi ga keurus. Setelah itu, gara-gara sering browsing di internet jadi tau kalo di internet bisa mendatangkan uang dengan Google Adsense. Diiming-imingi iklan di internet yang katanya Google Adsense tinggal pasang iklan dapat uang banyak akhirnya saya mencoba. Ternyata, nggak semudah itu bermain Google Adsense. Kita juga harus ngerti HTML, tips dan trik supaya traffik meningkat, keywords, dan penempatan iklan yang sesuai. Singkatnya, saya jadi malas untuk melanjutkan Google Adsense ini. Google Adsense saya kurang menghasilkan, jadi saya merasa ini bukan bidang saya.

Pada Juli 2009, saya mencoba untuk berjualan online via ebay. Pertamanya saya tau tentang ebay dari blog seseorang yang bilang kalo dia dapat uang banyak dari ebay. Akhirnya saya memberanikan diri untuk mendaftar di eBay dan Paypal. Bisa dibilang, mendaftar di Paypal ini penuh resiko, karena harus memakai kartu kredit orang tua, di mana kartu kredit itu sangat mudah dibobol oleh hacker dan orang tua masih tidak percaya tentang jual beli via internet.

Akhirnya, Account Paypal saya jadi. Saya mulai mencoba berjualan di ebay. Dan ternyata entah karena keberuntungan atau apa barang dagangan saya laku lumayan banyak. Keuntungannya lumayan lah, meskipun belum bisa untuk biaya hidup sehari-hari, tapi dari hasil jualan di ebay selama beberapa bulan akhirnya bisa beli Blackberry Javelin.

Di September 2009, saya baru mengenal kaskus. Agak telat memang. Sebenarnya daridulu saya sudah tau tentang kaskus, cuma pada saat itu memang tidak ada keinginan untuk bergabung. Baru setelah teman saya memberi tahu kalau di kaskus merupakan forum jual beli terbesar di Indonesia akhirnya saya ikut-ikutan join. Pertama saya cuma jualan barang bekas seperti cartridge printer di kaskus. Ternyata laku juga. Setelah itu jualan novel-novel bekas ternyata juga laku. Akhirnya saya berani untuk membuka lapak yang benar-benar jualan, yaitu jasa order ebay dan ternyata cukup laku.

Di sekitar Februari-April 2009, saya menghentikan jasa ebay saya. Alasannya karena waktu itu mau Ujian Nasional. Saya takut nggak bisa fokus belajar. Meskipun jasa ebay di kaskus berhenti, tapi saya sesekali tetap berjualan di ebay. Akhirnya setelah UNAS selesai, saya kembali aktif berjualan di ebay, sambil baca-baca tips ebay dari para kaskuser lainnya. Dari sini saya mulai mencoba serius di ebay.

Pada Juni 2009, saya mencoba membuka online tees store, Dynasty TEES. Meskipun sistem pre-order, tapi saya coba untuk menjalaninya dengan serius. Sebelumnya saya juga telah meriset dulu mengenai vendor mana yang bisa dipercaya, bagaimana membuat sistem pre-order yang baik, dan lain-lain. Ternyata, hasilnya juga cukup memuaskan. meskipun sekarang masih ada stok kaos yang tersisa, tapi bisa dibilang jualan saya lumayan laku. Untungnya nggak terlalu banyak, tapi di sini saya bisa lebih berlatih membangun bisnis yang sebenarnya.

Pada September 2009, akhirnya saya membuka jasa ebay lagi. Kenapa? Karena saya melihat peluang di sini. Banyak orang Indonesia yang ingin beli barang di luar negeri tapi kesulitan order dan sebagainya. Akhirnya saya buka lagi jasa ebay dengan lebih terperinci dan terstruktur. Hasilnya sekarang baru ada 6 orang yang pakai jasa saya, tapi menurut saya ini lumayan untuk sebuah awal.

Terhitung dari sekarang, berarti ada 3 bisnis yang saya jalankan. Jasa ebay, jualan di ebay, dan Dynasty TEES. Memang, kalo saat ini untungnya nggak seberapa, masih belum bisa buat beli macam-macam. Jadi uangnya saya tabung dulu untuk membuat sesuatu yang lebih besar, meskipun saya sendiri juga masih bingung caranya. Tapi paling nggak dari pengalaman jual beli di internet ini banyak yang bisa dipelajari seperti ilmu bisnis, marketing, riset pasar, dan ilmu tentang internet sendiri. Memang nggak selamanya saya untung, bahkan saya barusan ini mengalami kerugian yang bisa dibilang cukup besar karena barang ternyata tidak sampai di tempatnya, mungkin karena pos atau hal lainnya. Tapi, ya memang ini namanya jualan. Harus siap untung dan rugi. Beda sama jadi pegawai, gajinya udah pasti tiap bulan ada. Tapi di sini banyak pelajaran yang bisa saya dapat. Saya belajar kalau nyari uang ternyata susah. Jadi saya sekarang lebih menghargai uang. Nggak seenaknya boros dan belanja-belanja barang-barang yang nggak perlu.

Singkatnya, nggak ada yang nggak mungkin kalo kita memang mau berusaha dan kerja keras. Sekarang saya sedang kuliah jurusan arsitektur semester 1. Tapi, saya juga tertarik di bidang bisnis online ini. Kalau misalkan bisa sukses di usia muda, kenapa nggak? Thanks to kaskus dan para kaskuser yang sudah sharing ilmu-ilmunya yang bermanfaat di sini. Semoga ke depannya kita bisa sama-sama maju.

It's all new episodes!

Do you know what's amazing on September besides my birthday? LOL.

It's all new episodes, starting from Vampire Diaries season 2, Gossip Girl season 4, Hannah Montana forever, and the last but not least, Glee season 2.

I love all these TV series. And it's so exciting to have them back. Enjoy some promotional photo shoots of these TV series!

Vampire Diaries!!! Do you know the tagline for season 2? It's The Year of Kathrine or something like that. Yes! Kathrine is back! She makes this new season amazing! I admire Nina Dobrev a lot! She's really a talented actress. Two different characters in the same film isn't easy to do. But she did it great! Also not to mention about Damon, who looks very good in this series. Love him!!! The story is more complicated in this season. There are more problems, more tragedy, and there will be werewolves here. This series is really different with Twilight. If I have to choose, I'll pick Vampire Diaries of course. I love Twilight too, but I'm really addicted to Vampire Diaries.

Glee!!! This phenomenal TV series is back! There will be new character. It's Charice, an amazing Philippines' singer. I can't wait for the Glee album. Anyway, I think they should sing more new pop songs, not classic 90s. And in the first episode, I think they did it great. The songs that I like are Empire State of Mind, Telephone, Billionaire. It was an amazing episode! And The Britney episode was great too!! That's what I meant when I said they should do pop songs more. I can feel the whole season 2 would be great!

Gossip Girl!!!  Paris!! So, what could be more exciting than combination of Gossip Girl and city of fashion, Paris?? Yeah I really can't wait for Gossip Girl. Especially for the handsome Nate Archibald, the Serena-Blair friendship-catfight, and also Chuck & Blair relationship.

Hannah Montana Forever. Not to mention how much I love Miley Cyrus, I've been waiting this season for a long time. Especially, this will be the last season of Hannah Montana. A part of me feels this is so sad, but another part of me thinks it would be great for Miley to step up to her next career. Not related to Disney anymore so she can be whoever she wanna be. I know she would be great and she always will.

University Artworks

Wow! I haven't taken care this blog for a while. Yep, I'm so busy with so many assignments in university so I can't blog a lot. There are so many things to do since I am majoring architecture. And I want to show you some of my artwork in university. It's not so good I think. There are so many students that had better artwork than me but I'm pretty satisfied with mine. 

Got B+ for this.

Actually there is no the yellow line on the right top. It's because of the scanner I think.

Haven't got the result yet. But I don't think this one is good.

However, these assignments is killing me. Today the lecturer gave an assignment that must be done by tomorrow. Then the next day they gave assignment again, again, and again. So, I think this is architecture. So many homeworks. Some of my friends didn't sleep at night because of these assignments. Lucky me, I still could sleep on normal time because my assignments have finished on time.

Anyway I found a very great book about business. Maybe it's an old book, but I love it. It is Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. If you want to learn more about business and investment, you should read this. It really changes my mindset about business. There are a lot of explanation what we should do and what we shouldn't so in business. This book motivates me a lot. 

I think I'm gonna read another Robert Kiyosaki's book, but I'm still confused where to buy it because I want them in Indonesian language. So it's pretty hard to find.

Manage my life

If you can manage your life, what will you do from now until death? I like to manage my life. It's not about being organized, but it's more like how to chase the dream. It may be come true and it may be not, but as long as I could, I will try to make this happen. And this is what I want if I can manage my life.

Age 19 : having my own successful business. maybe in online business.
Age 21 : finish university, get a job as architecture in a someone's company for a year.
Age 22 : go to USA for more education, whether it's about architecture or not. Then started building a life there.
Age 26 : get a very good job in USA, start making money.
Age 27 : bring my family to USA, and we all move there.
Age 30 : become a famous architecture, or if it's not I want to be a film producer / creative designer in a movie.
Age 35 : having my own company, small or big, whatever.
Age 36-die : working, enjoying life, working, enjoying life.


That's my life would be if I can arrange it. But the truth is, I can't do it. Sometimes there are some events that makes our plan doesn't work out. It's okay, because I don't have to live my life as what I wrote above. And why didn't I write about relationship or marriage or something about it? That's because I don't think that it's something that I should chase, but it's something that we have as a gift, to love and to be loved. It can't be managed, it can come and go anytime. So, the thing is I still don't have idea about it and I'm not gonna write about it. It's still a new thing for me and I just don't want to talk about it.

@ Bali

Posted from Bali.. Yayyy!!!

Actually, It's not to "Yay" because last time I went there is three months ago. It means that I go to Bali too often until I get bored and feel nothing special about going to Bali this time. But, of course, it's still better than at home. One thing that makes me unhappy is I have to bring my homework to Bali. Yes, it's not good to do homework in holiday, but it is a must. So, what can I do???

I can't say that I'm not happy going to Bali. Bali is always be my favorite destination in Indonesia. One thing that I like about Bali is the situation. It feels like I'm not in Indonesia, but in another country, because there are so many foreign tourists here.

Anyway, I have to make a good article. At least one. I've been busy with assignment and stuff until I couldn't take care a lot for my blog. And now its time for me to make a new article.
