?

Sometimes I wonder, how some people tend to be so hard appreciating what have given to them. I know givers shouldn't expect to get something back when they give, but is it that hard just to say the word 'thank you'?
I don't expect anyone to do the same thing as I did either, but I just need some appreciation (and that is just as simple as saying thank you) to what I have did.
I find it somehow inpolite, when people do something good and give something somewhat is meaningful to you, and you say nothing.
How could you not appreciate what you've got?
Just as simply as saying thank you.
I seriously don't expect much from you, really. But I felt it's just so rude, getting no appreciation at all.
I don't want to make this a biggie.
But from what you've done, it just changed my mind about what I thought about you before.
Or maybe you're just not used being in the 'well-mannered' environment. I don't know.

Well, oh well, maybe I've had enough of all this, being in a world of people like you who are very seldomly say 'the magic words' and understand the importance of manner and being polite.
I don't want to sound harsh really, but it keeps friggin bothering me, and I don't like it.

So for those of you who felt you're somehow like 'that', please do try to say 'the magic words'!
And for those of you who DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT ARE THE MAGIC WORDS ARE...
MAN, DON'T YOUR PARENTS EVEN TEACH YOU THAT? (sorry, no offence)

FYI: MAGIC WORDS ARE=
1. THANK YOU (when you say it, it means you are appreciating to what other people have done/given to you)
2. PLEASE
3. SORRY



Thank you

"Bakrie No Longer A Billionaire" (dan cerita lainnya)

Itulah judul artikel dari Forbes.com, yang dimuat Desember 2008 lalu. Ya, keluarga Bakrie tak lagi menjadi keluarga bilioner. Karena perusahaan-perusahaan mereka sedang dalam tekanan untuk melunasi segala utang-utang yang dimiliki. Meskipun begitu, masih ada beberapa orang Indonesia yang masuk ke jajaran 701 bilioner dunia tahun 2009. Mereka adalah(dari urutan paling bawah)......

#701 Peter Sondakh
Net Worth: $1.0 bil
Pemilik Rajawali Group ini meliputi perusahaan Express Group (taksi), dan Semen Gresik.
Ia menjual Excelcomindo Pratama dengan harga lebih dari $400 mil di tahun 2007.

#522 Martua Sitorus
Net Worth: $1.4 bil
Co-founder Wilmar International.

#450 Sukanto Tanoto
Net Worth: $1.6 bil
Pemilik RGM International.

#430 R. Budi Hartono
Net Worth: $1.7 bil
Pewaris Djarum, aset meliputi Grand Indonesia dan Bank Central Asia (BCA).

#430 Michael Hartono
Net Worth: $1.7 bil
Pewaris Djarum, aset meliputi Grand Indonesia dan Bank Central Asia (BCA).

Hampir semua dari mereka dan juga bilioner-bilioner dunia lainnya, mengalami penurunan kekayaan tahun ini, dibanding dengan tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Mengapa? Ya, you-know-why lah ;p

*FYI, meskipun Islandia (Iceland) adalah negara dengan HDI (Human Development Index) tertinggi di dunia, selama 2 tahun berturut-turut. Tetapi mereka hanya memiliki satu orang bilioner di negaranya yaitu Bjorgolfur Thor Bjorgolfsson. Sementara negara kita, Indonesia, dengan 5 orang bilioner menempati posisi ke 109 dalam list HDI 2008. Artinya, negara kita (tentunya) masih harus berusaha lagi untuk mencapai kemakmuran yang kurang-lebih merata di seantero negeri. Meskipun begitu ada satu hal yang patut dibanggakan, HDI Indonesia naik +0.007 dari tahun sebelumnya :-)

Ironiskah?

Mengapa bisa-bisanya di tengah musibah yang melanda saudara-saudara kita, sebagian dari kita malah mengambil keuntungan dari peristiwa itu? Lokasi musibah Situ Gintung, yang semestinya dipenuhi relawan dan segala pihak yang terkait. Sejak kemarin jadi ramai akan 'pengunjung' yang tujuannya ingin melihat situasi Situ Gintung pasca-musibah. Bukannya menolong atau paling tidak bersimpati, malah banyak yang berfoto-foto ria seakan-akan tempat tersebut bukanlah sebuah lokasi musibah yang memakan puluhan korban.
Ironis memang, dari radio terdengar suara-suara relawan yang sangat 'repot' menghimbau para 'pengunjung' tersebut untuk pindah dari lokasi yang seharusnya menjadi akses untuk menyalurkan bantuan-bantuan.
Ironis karena di kala saudara-saudara kita sedang dalam masa sulit, sebagian dari kita malah bertindak seperti itu...

"Mereka ingin merasakan sensasinya. Merasakan sensasi saudara-saudaranya yang sedang susah. Merasakan sensasi kengerian melihat kiamat di satu tempat."

"I love you so much it's retarded"

HA.
FINALLY after those years of finding anyone who shares the same taste in music. I finally got it, it's crazy. And everything is included in the movie of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Yeah, that's probably going to be my new friend with benefit: my pirated DVD of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist lol.
You should go watch that movie, the soundtrack is just SSSSMAZING :-D (amazing, I mean)

(I never thought I would be this random)

Before

I get you into anything, I just erased my last post. I don't know why, but I thought it kinda sucked. I don't even think that I was posting what I wanted to post that time, so yeaaaah...

Mungkin, because I haven't write a long time in English (ga lama-lama banget juga sih, but still). So that is why my last post was somehow ridiculous, but anyways...

Karena kejenuhan (mostly because of school) yang gua rasa belakangan ini, jadi I thought it's better to post photos which I currently like! Haha, so here it is... *jeng-jeng*

Oasis (I wish I could watch their concert in HK :'))

Santorini, Greece (I would love to spend some time there, melepaskan segala kejenuhan sekolah hee)

Gaspard Ulliel (...speechless :s)

I apologize for all the mixed-up language yaaa :-)
