Beasiswa PBB!
Beberapa bulan belakangan saya sangat berbahagia karena telah mendapatkan beasiswa program PBB baru bernama IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services). IPBES (http://www.ipbes.net/) bertujuan untuk mendukung kolaborasi para ahli dan pemerintah pada kebijakan-kebijakan yang berkaitan dengan bidang keanekaragaman hayati dan jasa lingkungan. Seperti halnya dengan IPCC untuk isu perubahan iklim, IPBES nantinya akan menyediakan laporan terkini mengenai status, perkembangan dan penggerak perubahan biodiversitas dan jasa lingkungan. Sebagai Young Fellow, saya akan berkontribusi dalam proses review dan penulisan di kawasan Asia Pasifik selama tiga tahun kedepan!!Continue reading “Beasiswa PBB!”
Blogging in Bilingual
This post starts when I had discussion with travelbloggersindonesia.com friends especially Rijal Fahmi. There is some polemic of bilingual or even multi-language blogs as not many blogs in Bahasa Indonesia. It is also more effective building your blog audience by using one language (NOT bilingual or even multi language!). Plus, there are so many blog contexts that may only relevant to your Indonesian audiences. Continue reading “Blogging in Bilingual”

Bogor: Mountain Biking in Gunung Mas
Places around Bogor
Adrenaline junkie, come to Bogor!
Where you go adventurous just in your backyard!
This city itself has been known famous among conservationist, biologist and people working in forestry and agriculture sectors because many international or national organisation and institution in Bogor.
Bogor Botanical Garden and Bogor Palace might be the ultimate reason why people will go to Bogor. Second, it would be hiking Mount Gede Pangrango in Cisarua. Third, visiting Cibodas Botanical Garden at the slope of Mount Gede Pangrago, which worldwide famous with its lichens collection. However, there is other option than that if you want to go wandering around Bogor. Combining bicycling and culinary experience might be your next option.
Sounds like great combination, right? Besides what is the best thing to switch off from normal routine? For me it should be doing something new! That is why mountain biking in Gunung Mas, Puncak would be one of my new micro-adventure this year.
A Month Without Smartphone
Life with ups and down.
Life with good and bad.
All in one package
After no MacBook Air (someone stole it last August!) and then accidentally broke my smartphone, for very few days I was a bit lost without them. However, it was not for long. Instead worry and unable to work, I tend to see it as life experiment.
This is a post of “A month without smartphone”, which not a trial but an experience (OK I have spare laptop from office which is nice, an Asus Zenbook UX303LA). After all, I see this month as new opportunity toContinue reading “A Month Without Smartphone”
[Review] Vila La Lita, Gunung Bunder – Bogor
Pada saat Travel Blogger Indonesia akhirnya mengadakan gathering pertamanya saya langsung mengatakan YA! Setelah menempuh perjalanan yang cukup panjang berawal dari Stasiun Bogor akhirnya kami tiba juga di sebuah rumah bertingkat dua dengan dominasi ukiran kayu dan susunan batu serta batu bata. Pandangan pertama saya ketika melihat rumah ini adalah pemiliknya pasti seseorang yang unik. Tidak jarang dalam satu ruangan, terdapat barang seni atau souvenir yang konsepnya bertolakbelakang namun dengan anehnya tetap enak dipandang mata.Continue reading “[Review] Vila La Lita, Gunung Bunder – Bogor”
NIKON Coolpix P900, Sang Teman Pejalan Baru
Setelah memiliki Fujifilm X10 selama kurang lebih 3 tahun lamanya sejak 2011 maka saya sudah mulai berburu model kamera baru di awal tahun ini. Performa kamera Fuji memang dapat dibilang telah saya maksimalkan selama ini dan saya cukup puas dengan hasilnya. Fuji dengan beragam fitur dan warna khasnya telah membius banyak orang termasuk saya sendiri hingga kini. Tapi tulisan ini bukanlah mengenai Fujifilm melainkan Nikon Coolpix P900.Continue reading “NIKON Coolpix P900, Sang Teman Pejalan Baru”
Myanmar: Mandalay in my mind | Mandalay dalam pandanganku
Mandalay Palace in the distance
Istana Mandalay dari kejauhan
Recently few friends travel to Myanmar either for vacation or work. After a couple of time to Yangon I promised to myself either going to Bagan and Mandalay. Afterwards I chose Mandalay for my trip before leaving to Bangkok and then Jakarta. What I can remember from this city is the Mandalay Hill, Kuthodaw Pagoda, and Mandalay Palace.

Make you days count everyday
We all want to do so much: take on every request that people email us, complete our neverending list of tasks and projects, help everyone, travel everywhere, learn a ton of new skills, read every book and watch every good film, be the perfect partner and parent and friend …
And yet, we can’t possibly do it all.
There isn’t enough time in the day, nor do we have the attention bandwidth to devote to everything. Even if we were perfectly disciplined, we couldn’t possibly get to even half of what we want to do. Just as with eating, where our eyes are bigger than our stomachs … our hopes are bigger than our actual bandwidths.
So I say, give up on trying to do it all. Simplify. Don’t try to be perfect. Don’t try to have the most perfect life you can create.
Instead, make your days count.
