Summertime

[Joe:]
Jones Beach 1988. Come on!

Do you remember,
Or should I rewind,
To that summer when you caught my eye,
I played it cool,
The weather was hot,
You had the beauty and the beach on lock.

With your flip flops, half shirt, short shorts, mini skirt,
Walkin’ on the beach, so pretty,
You wasn’t lookin’ for a man,
When you saw me in the sand,
But you fell for the boy from the city.

I was like, “hey, girl, can I get your number”
I remember what you told me too,
“Don’t call after ten”
But you know that I did,
‘Cause I couldn’t stop thinkin’ ’bout you.

I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
And all the good times we had, baby,
Been a few years and I can’t deny,
(Oh oh)
The thought of you still makes me crazy,
I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
I’m sittin’ here in the sun with you on my mind.
You’re my, my summertime.

Do you remember,
I’ll never forget,
Touchin’ your body all soakin’ wet,
The water was cool,
The feelin’ was hot,
Kissin’ on you while the ocean rocked.

In your strapless sundress,
Kickin’ back, no stress,
As long as we was together,
‘Cause we were feelin’ young love,
And we couldn’t get enough.
Baby, I could reminisce forever.

And now I’m like,
Hey, girl, don’t you know I miss it,
And I wonder if you miss it too,
Never thought it would end ’til it did,
Now, I’m here and I can’t stop thinkin’ ’bout you.

I think about you in the summertime,
(Oh oh)
And all the good times we had, baby,
Been a few years and I can’t deny,
(Oh oh)
The thought of you still makes me crazy,
I think about you in the summertime,
I’m sittin’ here in the sun with you on my mind.
You’re my, my summertime.

[Donnie:] Break it down.

Summer ended,
Winter started,
It got colder,
When we parted ways,
(Donnie : I like this part.)
As the seasons change.
(Donnie : Bring it forward, bring it back)
Winter melted,
Spring I felt it,
Summertime will never be the same,
(Without you. My summertime.)
My summertime.

I think about you in the summertime,
I think about you
(Oh oh)
And all the good times we had, baby,
We had baby
It’s been a few years and I can’t deny,
I can’t deny
(Oh oh)
The thought of you still makes me crazy,
Makes me crazy
I think about you in the summertime,
I’m sittin’ here in the sun with you on my mind.
On my mind,
My summertime.

A Thousand Years

I dont know since when i love to listen to Christina Perri’s songs

This is one of my fave. Too bad i cant see her concert in Jakarta yesterday.

(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

(Verse 2)
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday

Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

One Night, One Stage – After Party

I love taking random shot of people around me.

Capturing their expression in their natural condition.

And these are some pictures i’ve made from my Sony NEX-5n

anytime, anywhere... never missed the precious moments
real sample for my presentation at SMK Telkom Sandhy Putra Malang last January 🙂
fans from different generation, different place, are gathering here
different profession also, i guest..
i dont know what they're fighting for? Is it for Nick? Jordan?
but they fought happily 🙂 and the lady in green strikes back 😛
we're tired but we're happy, it was exhausted but so much fun

Ahhh, my mistakes. Not everybody happy, I guest 😛

"Bro, my girl left me to chase Nick :(" .. sent
"Ok girls, pose, smile. It will be the photos worth to remember forever"
there's always hope, till the end ^_^

Spammed by rezkytravel.com

spam by +62 853 18310309

Yeah to the point

rezkytravel.com is a fucking spammer. I never gave my number to them nor subscribe to any services related to them.

But these last couple of days, my cellphone is and still being spammed by that bastard travel agent. Today was from +62 853 18310309 and +62 853 18229062

So these are some screenshot I’ve made and also the suspicious website of rezkytravel.com. A kind of website that typically made by scammer who intend to trap their victim by ‘online’ transaction.

The address said to be in

“REZKY Tour & Travel. Kantor: Jl Tapas X Kav DKI Bl D-8/3 JAKARTA. CALL CENTER: 0853-12934333. 0852-15777765″

But after do some simple googling, that address is registered to PT. Antasena … yea, another travel agent.

So I suggest you guys to be careful with this kind of company, who spammed people cellphone which is a private area for doing their  business.

  1. It’s so f****** anoying
  2. Well you see the way they do business by sending spam SMS and look at their website, suspicious. You can make simple comparison with the real well known travel agents like indo.com, vayatour.com, avia-tour.com, smailingtour.co.id

Hello World, Nikon D800

Finally, the long-awaited moment is arrived.
Nikon D800 telah resmi diumumkan oleh Nikon. Yayyyyyy

Nikon D800 (depan - pcworld)

Dimulai dengan berita-berita dari nikonroumours.com sejak tengah tahun 2011 kemarin, pertanyaan mengenai pengganti kamera Nikon D3s/D300s/D700 sudah banyak merebak.
Contohnya link berikut ini:
August 24th: Nikon D700 and D3s successors (nikonrumours.com)

dan masih banyak lagi, tinggal ikutin saja tag d800 di nikonrumours.com yah

Nah, penerus keluarga full frame D3 sudah muncul bulan kemarin, Nikon D4 setelah sebelumnya Canon memperkenalkan Canon EOS 1Dx.
Penerus D300s, which is supposed to be D400? Masih velum ada kabar.
Nah, 7 Februari kemarin Nikon merilis berita mengenai flasgship kamera full frame dia yang kedua untuk tahun ini yaitu Nikon D800/D800E yang nota bene adalah penerus Nikon D700.

Nikon D800 (atas, pcworld)

Saya sendiri sebenarnya berminat dengan D700, sayang di Jakarta sudah susah nyarinya (terutama yang garansi Alta Nikindo). Padahal budget sudah disiapkan dan D90 tersayang juga sudah berpindah tangan. Karena saya sudah punya Sony NEX-5n untuk yang APS-C, target berikutnya emang full frame.

Yah apa daya D700 termasuk jajaran seri yang tidak diprosuksi lagi oleh Nikon (discontinue) termasuk D90. Ga heran sih, karena di Amerika sendiri D700 sudah out of stock sejak Q4 2001.

Dan sesuai dengan rumor, spek D800 inipun cukup wow. Mulai dari 36.3 megapixel (RAW Fx), 15.4 megapixel kalo mode DX. ISO 100 – 6400 yang bisa extend hingga 25,600. Saya sendiri sangat puas dengan kemampuan high ISO D700 yang saya gunakan waktu memotret Java Rocking Land 2001 (dan tentunya The Cranberries) kemarin.

Fitur-fitur yang ditawarkan D800 antara lain:

  • 36.3-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor
  • 91,000-pixel RGB Matrix Metering System
  • Advanced scene recognition system
  • 51-point AF system (15 cross-type sensors)
  • Multiple AF modes (e.g., normal, wide area, face tracking, and subject tracking)
  • Full HD 1080p video, with full manual control and uncompressed HDMI output
  • ISO 100 to 6400 (50 to 25600 expanded)
  • Shooting in different aspect ratios (e.g., 5:4)
  • In-camera High Dynamic Range (HDR) image capture
  • 3.2-inch, 921,000-dot LCD monitor with automatic brightness control
  • HDMI port (8 bit, 4:2:2)
  • Dedicated headphone jack
  • Audio output level adjustment (30 steps)
  • High-fidelity audio recording control (levels set and monitored on LCD)
  • Stereo microphone jack
  • 4 fps continuous shooting (6 fps in DX mode using the optional battery pack)
  • USB 3.0 support

Nikon D800 bakal mask pasar sekitar bulan Maret dengan harga kisaran $2,999.95 (body only), sedangkan D800E akan meluncur pertengahan April dengan harga $3,300 (body only).

Duh, sepertinya saya harus berpikir ulang nih. Yang jelas mesti nabung tambahan lagi $1000 kalo pingin D800 ini. Dan begitu masuk Indonesia nanti ga tahu deh harganya jadi IDR berapa. Biyuh …. *pegangin akal*

Arrrghhhhhhh

Notes from Wikufest 2012 – part 1

Tanggal 19 Januari kemarin saya berkesempatan mudik ke kota tercinta Malang.
Yah, walau tak sedingin dulu yang jelas macetnya mau saingan dengan Jakarta 🙂 Mudik kali ini tidak hanya karena long weekend karena ada libur Imlek hari Seninnya, tapi saya dan beberapa rekan membawa misi khusus.

Misi tersebut mempunyai nama WikuFest 2012 atau Wikusama Festival yang di adakan di sekolah kampus STM SMK Telkom Sandhy Putra Malang pada tanggal 20-21 Januari 2012. Wah, Sawojajar telah berubah … drastis.

Wikufest ini adalah sebuah acara yang digagas oleh dan juga merupakan sumbangsing dari para alumni STM (ok, SMK) Telkom Sandhy Putra Malang untuk almamater tercintanya. Wikufest ini lebih semacam festival knowledge sharing yang membahas tentang dunia ICT, berbagi pengalaman hidup para alumni dan juga tren bisnis.

Saya ga akan bertele-tele, rilis resmi latar belakang acara ini bisa baca di sini 🙂

Harapan kami sederhana. Sekedar ingin berbagi wawasan kepada adik-adik kelas akan apa yang ada di dunia luar dinding kampus tercinta ini. Implikasinya semoga jadi dopping penambah semangat, membakar motivasi dan menumbuhkan kreativitas terpendam yang selama ini tidur atau bahkan malu untuk dimunculkan. At the end, these young guns can set their goal of life earlier, so they will have enough to prepare anything for that.

Selain menambah erat rasa kekeluargaan dan saling memiliki antara alumni dan siswa, ini juga jadi ajang latihan bagi kami (well, most of us) untuk publik speaking heheheheh, untuk lebih banyak berbagi. Seperti donor darah lah. Sekian mili yang kita donorkan akan membantu orang lain, sebagai gantinya tubuh kita akan memproduksi darah segar penggantinya *berasa narasi film vampir gini*

Anyway,
Soal skill, adik-adik angkatan 18-19 ini cukup membuat kami terpukau. Awalnya saya pribadi juga Cak Adi Wahyu yang ketum ingin lebih membahas mengenai potensi mobile services. Karena hal ini sepertinya barang baru. Melihat kurikulum kok kayanya berat ke web programing. PHP lagi PHP lagi, saya dah bosen.

Yah dugaan itu benar. Lomba bikin mobile apps untuk printing dari ponsel ke portabel printer gagal karena ga ada yang submit. Tapi … ada tapinya nih. Some of them actually in the process of making the apps. But timeline is too short.
Saat closing acara, ada demo 2 aplikasi mobile yang itu semuanya membuat saya terpukau. Wow!!! Bravo.

Yah, sip lah. Bisa ngomporin adik-adik buat mulai iseng2 bikin sesuatu di ponsel mereka masing. Kalau susah native programming, bisa bikin versi mobile web atau yg hybrid pakai phonegap, sencha atau appcelerator 🙂

Well, animo adik-adik ternyata sangat menggembirakan. Insya Allah ini akan dijadikan acara tahunan. Kita akan coba di 2013 nanti. Terima kasih untuk para panitia, teman-teman alumni. Mohon maaf juga untuk teman seangkatan yang masih saya ledekin. Farisy n Ahot, asline aku ngiri ama kebesaran kalian. Tingkat ketebalan saya ga segitu nambah dibanding jaman sekolah dulu. Hehehehe
Eh iya, ada juga alumni junior yang kena ‘bully’ juga n ternyata taunya dah jadi guru di almamater tercinta ini. Maaf lho, Pak Mas eh Pak YouKnowWho *rofl*

Ulasan yang lebih mendalam bisa baca tulisan-tulisan dari Cak Usma berikut ini
http://edukasi.kompasiana.com/2012/01/23/selamat-dan-sukses-wikufest-2012/
http://cakusma.blogdetik.com/

Hmm, adik-adik ternyata banyak yang blogging. Tapi kok ga nemu yah postingan yang membahas before-and-after wikusama. Ayo dong pada nulis. Buat masukan untuk kami juga guna mempersiapkan acara berikutnya 🙂

Happy New Year 2012

This is it.
Happy New Year 2012
Let’s see whether the Mayan Calendar prophecy about year 2012 is going to happen or not ^_^
