Some New Feature for the Blog

News & Announcements No Comments »

I’ve just added some feature to the blog, namely Adsense (a little ads won’t hurt) and Subscribe to Comment. That’s right, now you can subscribe to comments on certain post, and so, you will be notified through e-mail if there’s a new comment posted on that post. Pretty handy? Agreed.

Anyway, it seems that my pictures are missing while I was messing with the code. I was wondering whether this just affect me, or whether it affects you too. Please let me know through comments.

Anybody know what should I setup my permission for the files in the theme folder? Help would be appreciated.

Because you are entitled to have a rest

Personal 7 Comments »

Chinese people are known for their extreme hard working. They work pretty much 24/7, that’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is said that because of this habit, they succeed, well, so told. Good principal it seems, but only up to a certain point.

Here in Indonesia, we don’t normally have the luxury of having both Saturday and Sunday off. With the exception of big, global companies, and some companies in bigger cities like Jakarta and Surabaya, most business open 6 days a week. Of course, shopping mall is a whole different case.

Having my own (well, technically speaking) company, of course, I can’t simply work like some office worker. Some of them could just let their mind off work when the clock shows 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I need to plan, tryout, testing products, and some more, way after the working hours. Of course, this does not happen every day, there are days when I could just rest my mind off after business hours. More on this later.

For the past few weeks though, I’ve noticed that I’m running out of time to manage my life and pleasure. My life is getting rather messy. Bad time management? Maybe. Too much work load? Maybe. I found that it’s hard to divide my time properly. I often feel that there are too many things going on my head at the same time. Things like planning for what’s going to happen tomorrow, setting my client’s priorities, planning client’s maintenance, invoices, providing and looking for solutions to my client’s problem, designing promotional items, product testing and knowledge, and some more. As on the personal side, I read blogs on day to day basis (I’ve got heaps), I search forums for new knowledge and discussions, my paid-per-post blogging jobs (2 of them now), my own personal blog, and another commercial blog (that I’ve been having no time to set up yet), and of course, once in awhile, relaxing my sanity by playing games once in awhile.

Back to the main topic, I believe that everyone is entitled for a day off, and for us Indonesian, that would be Sunday. One day where I don’t have to think about work, and catch up with my own, personal activities. I believe that work with no rest is suicidal. I believe that everyone is entitled to their day off. Even a business owner.

Tell me what you think in comments. If you got any time management tips, do tell.

Magical moments

Personal, Relationship 5 Comments »

Turns out it’s finished sooner than I thought. Why magical moments? I guess because no matter how many fights we had, how many arguments we had, how many times we disagree with each other, in the end, I’ll still fall for her once again.

So here’s my first tribute ever (as well as my hopefully-to-be-a-comeback-to-the-world-of-design) to the one girl who I adore and love.

Have a wonderful weekend peeps.
