Champion League Final and Regional Leader Election 2010

Yesterday, three districts in Yogyakarta held local elections. In Bantul district, there are three potential candidates for regional heads. Although the regional campaign is not as busy as the national election campaign, the enthusiasm of residents to welcome the regional elections is quite high. This can be seen on the eve of election day atmosphere.

On Saturday night, residents gathered. In addition to preparing the ballot, residents also gather while waiting for the champion league final. Champion League 2010 was quite unexpected. The finalists are not team that has been predicted. For inter milan, this year was the first year in the final after years of failure in the previous round. Bayern Munich also had to work hard to reach the final, even they have lost playmaker mainstay after exposure to a suspension at the time of the semi-finals. Time went by quickly because people were chatting to wait for the game started.

The game began. I really hope Bayern Munich will be the winner on champion league 2010. German's club controls the match. However, the strategy made by Mourinho really effective in dampening the Munich attack. Although controlling the game, they were unable to penetrate the defense of Inter Milan. Catastrophe for Bayern Munich came in the 40th minute. Milito scored the first goal and Inter Milan lead 1-0. The score stood until the first half. In the second half, Van Gaal trained troops increasingly aggressive in attacking. They control 60% of the game. However, Mourinho's tactics are very bright. Again Inter Milan has counter-attacked very fast. Milito scored one goal again. Inter Milan were winning 2-0. Viewing 2-0 Inter already, I was pessimistic that Munich can catch up. Munich is famous as a team that often changed circumstances. They are often fail on first half and then turned superior. However, seeing the inter milan game, I thought Munich would be very difficult to produce a goal. Until the 93rd minute, a score of 2-0 did not change. I also went to sleep.

In the midst of sleep, I thought I heard the sound megaphone. The voice warned residents to immediately come to a vote. However, I feel very lazy to get up. I fell asleep again. When I awoke, my sister told me that candidates for the head area "Sukadarma" win in my area. Apparently, "my hero" lost again. I think "my hero" both in local elections and in the Champions League final in 2010 was not lucky.

My first experience in choosing web hosting

During two years of writing blogs, I still do not understand about web hosting. At that time, I just simply write a personal experience in a free blog from blogspot. One time, I met a jogja blogger in a gym. After chatting for a while, he introduced me to the business through blogs. He taught me how to earn money from blogging activities. One suggestion he gives is that we should have some blogs to optimize income from online business. I also made some blog on some free blog provider.

There are a few flaws if we use free blogs. If we are using blogspot, we need the business harder to compete with the blog using wordpress as CMS. In addition, our website address would be too long if we use these free blogs. My friend had advised me to learn wordpress and hosting with domain purchase.

Initially, I was confused in choosing a place to buy hosting. I also tried to find articles about how to choose web hosting. There are some web hosting from abroad that provides hosting with large capacity with a fairly cheap price. Apart from a fairly competitive price, the features provided is also quite comprehensive. We can arrange hosting with ease. In addition to some convenience, some hosting provider from abroad also very often give domain name coupons so that we can buy domains with very cheap price. However, I have not dared to buy hosting from web hosting providers from abroad because I am afraid will have difficulty when applying for customer service assistance.

I also asked my friends who already have a website. He told some of the best web hosting provider in Indonesia. To check whether a web hosting is SEO friendly enough, my friend told me to check the web which has the highest ranking in google with the keyword "best webhosting in Indonesia." The first rank is held by one of the web hosting provider based in yogyakarta. I was looking for information about these web hosting. It turned out that several large sites in Indonesia are also utilizing the services from this hosting provider. I also chose to buy hosting from this hosting provider which based in Sleman district, Yogyakarta. Besides having some pretty good services, this web hosting provider also near from my house.

Speedy, Speed that you can trust?

Jargon tersebut sering kita dengar dan lihat di setiap promosi speedy. Namun, saya bukan akan promosi speedy, saya hanya akan berbagi pengalaman saya menggunakan layanan dari provider internet yang satu ini. Saya menggunakan layanan paket family dari speedy sejak oktober 2009. Saya cukup merogoh sekitar 150ribu tiap bulan untuk mendapatkan layanan koneksi internet unlimited dengan kecepatan 384 kbps untuk 3 GB pertama dan 128 kbps untuk selanjutnya. Loh, kok bisa cuma 150ribuan, kan paket family sekitar 200ribuan? Yap, saya mendapat informasi dari teman saya bahwa ada promo speedy community. Jika saya mendaftar speedy bersama 4 orang lainnya, kita bisa mendapatkan diskon (maaf saya lupa berapa persen) sehingga kita cukup membayar sekitar 150ribu tiap bulannya. Setelah tanya sana-sini, akhirnya saya meyakinkan diri untuk memilih layanan ini.

Layanan pendaftaran speedy memang sangat memuaskan. Kita tidak wajib mencari 4 orang teman untuk mendaftar paket ini. Petugas promosi dari speedy membantu kita mencari 4 orang. Bahkan, jika kita dapat mengajak teman, kita malah dapat komisi. Yap, tanpa prosedur yang berlibet, akhirnya speedy sudah terpasang di rumah. Lebih topnya lagi, saat itu ada promo bebas biaya instalasi sehingga kita hanya perlu membayar untuk membeli modem. Lebih beruntungnya lagi, kita dapat diskon untuk modem tersebut.

Boleh dibilang slogan speed that you can trust tersebut benar-benar dapat dipercaya. Speedy memberikan kepada kita layanan internet dengan kecepatan koneksi yang dapat dipercaya. Dibanding beberapa provider internet yang saya gunakan sebelumnya, kecepatan speedy saat saya tes di speedtest.net tidak jauh dari kecepatan yang dijanjikan. Saat 3GB pertama, biasanya saya mendapatkan kecepatan koneksi sekitar 0,32 hingga 0,35 Mbps. Jarang sekali (bahkan tidak pernah) saya mendapatkan kecepatan di bawah 0,3 Mbps. Saat quota melebihi 3GB, kecepatan juga tidak jauh dari 128 kbps,yaitu sekitar 0,12 Mbps, jarang sekali mendapatka kecepatan di bawah 0,1 Mbps. Untuk masalah kecepatan, speedy patut diacungi jempol.

Apakah layanan speedy sebaik dengan kecepatannya? Yap,pergantian tahun 2009 menjadi tahun 2010 menjadi titik di saat layanan speedy mulai rewel. Untuk masalah kecepatan, bisa dibilang tidak ada komplain. Namun, entah kenapa speedy seakan-akan mengikuti jejak salah satu penyedia layanan listrik di negeri ini. Sering sekali byar pet tanpa pemberitahuan. 1 Januari 2010, tiba-tiba speedy sama sekali tidak bisa konek. Dalam benak saya, saya masih berpikir positif mungkin jaringan sedang sangat sibuk di hari pergantian tahun seperti ini. Saya pun mencoba menelpon 147. Yap, kita akan dilayani dengan sangat ramah saat melaporkan adanya gangguan. Sehari kemudian, speedy sudah bisa digunakan untuk berselancar di dunia maya dengan kecepatan yang selalu dapat dipercaya. Sekitar seminggu hingga dua minggu kemudian, speedy tidak bisa konek lagi. Saya pun telpon 147 lagi. Hal itu berulang-ulang setiap satu hingga dua minggu sampai saat ini. Saya pun harus rutin menghubungi 147 tiap satu hingga dua minggu (Semoga saja petugas 147 tidak bosan mendengar suara saya). Yap, laptopku pun beristirahat sekitar 1-2 hari setiap satu hingga dua minggu.

Kejadian aneh muncul pada siang hari ini. Sore kemarin, earth days ala speedy kembali kumat. Adik saya pun telpon 147. Jawaban klasik pun muncul, "laporan akan kami proses paling lambar 3x24 jam. Jika lebih dari itu, Anda akan mendapat diskon 2%. Baik banget ya speedy itu, liburnya 3/30 hari (10%) tapi diskonnya cuma dapet 2%. Seminggu yang lalu saya hampir saja mendapatkan diskon tersebut namun baru sekitar 2,5 x 24 jam dari jam laporan (maaf tepatnya saya g ingat) speedy kembali bisa digunakan. Nah, siang tadi saya berharap saya bisa berselancar kembali untuk melihat hasil ujian komprehensif jilid 2. Namun, harapan saya hanyalah harapan yang belum menjadi kenyataan. Speedy belum bisa konek. Akhirnya, lagi-lagi saya menghubungi 147. Entah kenapa kali ini petugas 147 tidak menjawab seperti biasanya. Kali ini, saya diminta untuk menghubungi teknisi secara langsung. Well, saya diberi nomor telpon teknisi. Saya pun menelpon teknisi. Okay, saat itu sekitar pukul 11.30, teknisi menjanjikan akan segera datang dan memberi tahu bahwa akan dikenakan biaya sekitar 30ribu untuk setting modem. Saya merasa ada yang aneh karena saya mendapat gangguan tapi kok malah disuruh bayar. Saya pun menanyakan perihal biaya tersebut kepada teknisi tersebut beberapa kali untuk meyakinkan. Baiklah, saya pun menunggu bapak teknisi datang ke rumah saya. Detik demi detik hingga rasa mengantuk menyerang pun belum ada tanda-tanda teknisi akan datang. Hingga pukul 14.00, teknisi belum datang. Saya pun kembali menelpon 147. Selain menanyakan kapan teknisi akan datang, saya juga menanyakan biaya yang sedari tadi penuh tanda tanya. Ternyata, pelanggan tidak dikenai biaya untuk perbaikan gangguan, tidak ada biaya setting modem. Baiklah, saya pun meminta agar petugas telkom saja yang menghubungi teknisi agar segera datang dan masalah biaya tersebut tidak ikut menjadi polemik yang mendorong DPR untuk membentuk panja. hehehe... Mungkin biaya tersebut memang tidak seberapa, tapi jika ditumpuk-tumpuk maka tidak heran akan banyak lahir gayus kecil di negeri indonesia tercinta ini.

Baiklah, waktu sudah menunjukkan pukul 3:09, sudah satu jam saya menunggu teknisi menghubungi saya. Seperti yang sudah dijanjikan oleh petugas 147, jika dalam 1 jam teknisi tidak menghubungi, silakan hubungi kami kembali. Okay kawan, saya akan menghubungi 147 kembali.

Takoyaki Balls, Tasty Japanese Snack

I first found out Takoyaki in food exhibition at the university center, Gadjah Mada University. At that time, I was very surprised with the ball-shaped food from Japan's. Food counter selling Takoyaki ball was filled with octopus pictures. I thought the octopus meat balls are very fishy. I did not dare to taste the Takoyaki balls.

At one point, coming home from swimming in Depok sports center, I accidentally saw the food counter selling Takoyaki, Takoyakiku. The smell of tasty food from the counter made me even more hungry. I also stopped to try the Japanese food.

Takoyaki balls presented with some kind of topping on takoyakiku. There are original Takoyaki, Takoyaki ue keju, Takoyaki Sakana menari, and Takoyaki naka tepu. From the fourth menu, I just had to try three menus.

Takoyaki original must be tried when we were very hungry because we will get five balls. Three other menus contain only four Takoyaki balls. Although without toppings, original Takoyaki is already very tasty because it was covered with teriyaki sauce tastes very delicious, combination of sweet, salty, and savory, and the smell of typical Japanese food.

For seafood lovers, You must try Takoyaki Sakana Menari. The smell of tuna fish are felt. This menu is called Sakana Menari because we can see the dried tuna fish dancing on Takoyaki balls. Dried tuna is also known as katsuobushi. However, if you do not really like seafood, better choose another menu because the smell of tuna in Takoyaki Sakana dancing quite sharp.

Well, the menu that's worth a try by all people is Takoyaki ue keju. Cheese topping on Takoyaki ball are so fits. Taste the cheese was very tasty. It turned out the delicious taste of cheese because the cheese is cheese kraft use. If you Takoyaki freaks, you must try this menu. Typical Japanese food but the flavor is perfect for us. Oya, although tako means octopus, but the Jogja Takoyaki mostly still using squid meat. : D

I followed the cheese kraft photo contest. Please support me, my friends! Give comments and votes on this photo:

Helping My Sister in learning Math

I have sister who was still in high school. Soon, he will undergo a national examination. National exam is a test that determines a student's high school graduation. However, this test does not determine whether he can be accepted at certain universities. From several subjects in the national exam, math is one subject that is most feared by most high school students. Therefore, many students need math tutoring.

Toward the national exam, my sister got a lot of math homework. He often asked for help to me in working through these math problems. As I have not started working on thesis, I was able to guide my brother in doing math. However, I got busy when I started doing research and thesis about brain injury marker. I also took the initiative to find a math tutoring. I think there are many sites that provide free math tutoring.

In working on math, my sister often had difficulty in working on calculus problems. When there is spare time, I teach my sister about calculus. Sometimes, I just find calculus help which is available on the internet. Internet world is very useful, including useful in helping to learn mathematics.

Touching The G-spot

GMU has a free blog facility. This facility is much simpler than the web hosting facilities. Blog is already equipped with the wordpress engine, so we do not need to install first. However, unfortunately this facility is less publicized. I know the facility when I join "Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009" Seo Contest. At that time, there is a blog that uses this facility and made it into the top 10.

I register a blog with a name "bowspot not a g-spot". LoL. This name is a little weird. Because I forgot my email password, I have to remember that I can open the email for verification. On this cold night, I was only able to open the email and touch the G-spot. It was delicious when writing in blogs that are still virgins. LoL

Features available on this blog are very complete. Besides using the latest Worpress machine, this blog also includes some very useful plugins, such as All in one seo pack.

To use the facilities of the GMU blog, you must have a webmail email from UGM. To get these emails, you can come to PPTIK. Bring a copy of KTM. There, you will be asked to fill out a form. After that, you will get an email facilities, web hosting, and GMU proxy username. Have you already used this facility? Let's use it!

Minor Surgical Exam has been passed?

minor surgery exam picture
One semester ago, I took the minor surgery exams. Actually, now that my group is a group of lucky because we have observed by one of the scary teacher but he did not come. We were guarded by a resident teacher selection. Fortunately, the residents are kind and one of them has a name like mine. LoL.

However, destiny line somehow requires me to deepen the minor surgery. I had to deepen the learning minor surgery and allowed to take exams this semester. At that time, I did make some fatal mistake that is ripping the gloves and do not give anesthesia on a mannequin. If it happens in real patient, he'll really feel pain.

At other times, there is a group that was not lucky. They were guarded by scary lecturer. In addition, the professor was disappointed in the residents who accompanied him. The teacher became bad mood. Only two of the 10 people who graduated. One person is the person who got the first turn when a lecturer has not come, one more person is a person who got the last turn where the professor is back in a good mood.

I got back on the exam schedule today. Two days ago, I studied with some friends who also take the exam again. Last night, I also spend an hour to learn to wear gloves. LoL. I think my fear too much. I do not have time to learn histology whereas today there histology examination.

I intend to get into the group's first turn histology examinations. It is certainly intended that I have enough time to prepare mentally before a minor surgical examinations. I also left home at 06.00. Half an hour later, I arrived at the building's histology and saw there were about a dozen people who queued. My class was a little excessive in such cases, the same as the queue event when choosing elective block. The seconds running and the queue were growing. I was not feeling good because it was very chaotic queue. When the queue is opened, I felt was right. Apparently there are 32 queue numbers. I should be able to get a queue number around 10-20, if these queue regularly. Maybe, chaotic queue culture has become Indonesian icon that has not been claimed by Malaysia. I really wonder why the room was full of ego to self-absorbed. I continue to be patient in waiting for the queue number. Until the remaining approximately 5 numbers, I still do not get a queue number. Enough patience to get there. I lunged forward. There are two numbers in the hands of guards. I let my girlfriend take a number. Suddenly there was the hand that almost took one number remaining. Luckily, her hand is not faster than my hands being in the effects of adrenaline. I told the owner of the hand, "Sorry, I had come earlier than you, right? Today I also have surgical exams." She fell silent. Histology exam passed. Hopefully a good result.

Histology exam finished at 08.30. There is still enough time to prepare for exams minor surgery. Around 10:30, the test begins. I got the third turn. When I entered the exam room, I was nervous. In addition to the sense of a little scary exam, there is also a surgical resident who is quite beautiful. One thing that is rarely seen. LoL. All went well but there was one mistake I did, that is my lack of caution in closing the needle until the needle cap was thrown into the betadine. LoL. Hopefully I can pass exams with good grades. Or do I need to deepen the surgery again until one day I would become a surgeon? For some reason, I still do not match with the surgeon, because I was too afraid to see blood. LoL

Crippling terrorist

tiny terrorist the ratsToday I managed to stifle terrorist which every night disturbing the peace. This incident started because of an incident that happened last night. How chronological occurrence of the arrest this terrorist?

Last night, I woke up at midnight. My laptop is still on. I remembered that at about 20:00 I was writing in my blog about the toenail fungus cure. Since it was a day of sightseeing, I was still tired. I lay down for a while. Warm blanket made me dissolve into a dream.

Middle of the night I just woke up. I went back to writing blogs. Half-hour in front of my laptop, suddenly there was sound, "duump!" All the lights in my house went out. The atmosphere was very dark. Since I was chatting with a friend, I still turn on the laptop about half an hour. With the glow of the phone, I headed to my room at 01.00.

When I was about to enjoy a dream, I heard a noise. I heard some small objects moving. The sound is very noisy. Sometimes I hear the sound of a falling object. I'm really annoyed. Tiny terrorist is really disturbing peace in the middle of the night. Genesis of the most annoying is hairy and tailless creature suddenly touched my hand. I was really surprised. I can not do anything because it was very dark. After that, I'm cool. I let the little terrorist bother me.

Who was the tiny terrorist who broke the silence of the night? Of course he was not Noordin M Top. He is a rat. I decided that I would catch it when the atmosphere was light again.

The hunt began after my breakfast. I was locked my room. Armed with broom, I and my father were hunting the tiny terrorist. Within 15 minutes, the rat was successfully disabled. A broom becomes the victim in the hunt. A broom is now split into three parts. Here are some photos of my room atmosphere after the hunt.




Oops, turns out it's almost 10:00. I had to shower because there syawalan at 11 o'clock in jogloabang.
