In Bali when a per­son meets some­one he knows somewhere..

In Bali when a per­son sees some­one he knows some­where, he tends to (try to) let the per­son know where he’s going and that per­son would just try to look as if he cares. Tweet

ESPA Yeh Panes in Tabanan

Me and Gunsou's group @ Yeh Panes

I’ve been tak­ing things for granted about liv­ing in Bali up until a few months back. Ever since I trav­eled around I real­ize that other cities I visit in Indone­sia don’t really have the gems I have here in Bali. One of it is this hot spring (onsen) located 30 min­utes north of my house, ESPA Yeh Panes. Yeh Panes […]

How Nyepi REALLY is in Bali

A lot of friends in Twit­ter asked me stuffs about Nyepi today, mostly the dos and donts. I’ve lived in Bali my whole life, so although I am not a local I get a pretty good sight of what’s going on in Nyepi days. In the­ory there are four rules Hindu peo­ple must obey in Nyepi, this set of rules […]

The saltwater-soaked Black­berry and Black­berry City’s repair service

Me and the Blackberry

So my Black­berry had been hos­pi­tal­ized in Black­berry City Den­pasar since begin­ning of Jan­u­ary. And since I am a man of one phone, I had no backup phone and I was reduced to my old phone when it was hos­pi­tal­ized. The day the berry got admit­ted, the staff said that “The repairman’s not in, so we can’t process this […]

Bal­i­Blog­ger Com­mu­nity, happy birthday!

Bal­i­Blog­ger Community’s 2 years old now, I’ve been with them from the very begin­ning. Appar­ently 2 years isn’t enough to make a bond between me and the com­mu­nity, I keep pass­ing on the their events. Yeah I’m bad at com­mu­ni­ties, I suck at gath­er­ings and on events like Kuta Car­ni­val and the such I’m unus­able. But hey, happy birth­day! Photo […]

Kite Retards episode 2

You know what day today is? It’s the kite com­pe­ti­tion day in the vil­lage where I live in. You know what that means? Yep, hun­dreds of peo­ple com­ing swarm­ing the street, arro­gantly block­ing the street both sides to walk and carry their kite. I wrote once about how arro­gant Bali­nese can be. I bet there’s an eas­ier way […]

Den­pasar: where to hang out?

That, my friend, is a tough ques­tion if you ask me. I hardly hang out in Den­pasar any­more since I pre­fer just go get the hell home and come online. Let’s stop there before I sound like a guy in despair. If you’re a guy like me (read: don’t like crowd, can’t stand heat and can’t stand to live with­out the […]

Rein­tro­duc­ing: Lunatic Notes

If you’ve been won­der­ing why I haven’t posted reg­u­larly here, it’s because I’ve been los­ing momen­tum and partly because I’ve a new play­ground to rant in. Rein­tro­duc­ing Lunatic Notes. It’s a new rant­ground for me and the boys to talk about tech and design. Mostly about mak­ing things work the way you want it to work. Noth­ing new, […]
