Ode To

Hi, Bro. I started playing this again. My old account was gone. It was wiped somewhere in the Google Play account sync. I don't know in which phone.  Now I'm on a new account using the same name. However,  You are no longer in my friend list like everyone else. I don't remember my last rank. I don't even remember my build for this hero. I remember your last message was asking me to play this game again. At that time, I was engrossed with that new game, Genshin Impact.  Sorry. Should've abandoned that RPG earlier and went back to MLBB with you. And now.... I don't know how to call you again. How to get you to play in my team again. My roster is empty, and I can only play solo.  I know that a welcome will ends with goodbye.  Yours is too fast. Just sayin'.... Hi Franco player, here's an ode to you from an Aurora player. Regards.

Redemption is upon you

  Generated from https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/jcdkoa7nueexO4YwyC3x A man found out accidentally that his lover is cheating. He's been married with her, a stunning woman who kept him 6 years without playing around.  He himself is an attractive man. In his past, he slept with many women. His co-workers even loved him. Because of that sus, he started playing around with them. According to a case result in Japan, in the event they get divorced, the man potentially wins the case. He is fooling around with many women thus not having a real heart into it. The spouse is dedicated to her swimming instructor.  I just read until the chapter the husband chokes the wife. She was accidentally let a moan while on the phone. No, she wasn't accidentally moaning. She was on the bed and already stopped the deeds when the husband called. However, the partner seemed getting jealous and poked his thing deep while the wife was on the phone, ready to close the call. Just a split sec...

VTuber

  Generated from https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/2KR1yHqvqHwxXSo3kTbA Currently I'm amazed by a trend to make a podcast with an anime-styled avatar. The phenomenon referred as VTuber  is using a 2.5D style. The avatar is 3D glued on 2D background. Their content usually around singing, playing games, and chat with their viewers. As they do that live, they would connect to live payment method that will display something when people donate. In Indonesia, this culture is called "sawer". A culture that would tip the performer live. That's why, for Indonesian, this Japanese imported scene is not really alien. After I dig deeper, I found out that there are two types of affiliation. The first is a company setup that is called Vtuber Agency. The example of such agency is Maha5 and Hololive. And, to my surprise, there is also the guerilla type that called themselves independent. Personally, I'm not into these Vtubers because their design is not really original. I ...

A Changing World

Debian now changing its Debian Social Contract. It includes non-free firmware starting with Debian 12 installer. The compromise is taken because modern hardware including WiFi devices are using binary blob inside their driver to enable the hardware. General Resolution: non-free firmware (debian.org) I have a lot to say for this, but this is part of the changing world. Nowadays people chasing pragmatism rather than idealism. No matter what my thought about this, they are the one that know what's best for them. Such as sad stare game and the idealists are now blinking.

This is because our brain selective memory. This drug created by our brain to remedy stress so that our emotion can handle the suffering. Life is suffering. Sometimes we think of why not God gives us iOS instead of E16 desktop . Too many choices with many consequences. We don't know how to run. Life is altering. My friend often said that people who stay at their job are often people who don't think themselves highly. They eat of what their boss spit on them. They don't innovate, just work to have money on the table. Making big decision is scary. That big jump takes a lot of faith. It is intangible. But... Who knows about your company tomorrow? Who knows the fuel and the economy tomorrow? Yes...

Illogical

The sound choice when you are in the midst of a pandemic is you barricade yourself. You don't know how the person around you behave. Nor you don't want an irresponsible person germinate your surroundings. Just like an episode in Left 4 Dead video game. Only take a person bitten to turn the whole community. That person who thinks covid-19 is okay. However

An Ode to

We are now going to start a new era. After two years of isolation against COVID-19 pandemic, we are now allowed to go outside. The vaccine shots effectively take the pandemic away.  However, this pandemic leaves scars to the whole world.  Many people struggling with their economy. Trying to have their fill. Businesses fall.  Many people have shortages on things because of the disruption in the supply chain.  For me, my grief is to lose people dear to me and I wasn't there sending them off. My brother in-law, my uncles and aunties. They were gone and I haven't been there in the funeral.  I also could not be there when my cousins were getting married. I was too scared to go outside before the second shot.  I wonder if my extended families think I have changed. I wonder if they think I am now an arrogant selfish person.  If I were alone, I would be dare to be everywhere. But, I have a wife. I have children that were  outside of vaccinated age. I can'...

Happy

What is happiness?  A feeling of content.  Can be found on having and not having.  On smile or on pressured.  A state of mind of being grateful. 

Glory

I also thought to myself, “It is   for the sake of people,   so God can clearly   show   them that they are like animals.  For the fate of humans   and the fate of animals are the same: As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath. There is no advantage for humans over animals, for both are fleeting. Both go to the same place, both come from the dust, and to dust both return. -- Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 We know Hammurabi as a king who formulated ancient codex of law. However, did we found out those whom helping him, inspire him?  We know Alexander The Great conquered the land. Did it ever found out who put the sword into the heart of the enemy's general? Who was the one that landed first time on enemy's fort safely? Nobody knows. Even the kings can only be figures vaguely remembered by their history and myth, not one is their true. A child is a jewel to the parents. Blessed with love, growing up well. Once becomes married, Mom and Dad is now p...

Bus Mania

https://www.facebook.com/groups/457620199352897/permalink/468882948226622/ There is a trend in Indonesia where people love to follow and take video of bus traveling. Those people often get called as maniac by other people. The reason is because their dangerous behavior driving motorcycle without honoring the law.  They will spot a bus and will take convoy to video the bus. The dangerous thing is they often drive on the blind spot. Also, they can take all the road making all other vehicles can't get through them.  There is also a trend in Indonesia that loves to listen buses and trucks horn. They will wait on the side of the road where buses or trucks usually passing through. They will call out to any bus/truck, "Om! telolet, Om!"  which translate to, "Mister! Honk your horn, Mister." Strange addiction. 

Don't Look Up (2021)

Don't Look Up is a Netflix movie full of Oscar-winning actors. A Professor and his student found out about a comet that would hit the earth in 6 months. They begin their quest to inform the authority including the US president and all of the world. It's a fun dark comedy that poke at current post-COVID situation. Although, to be fair, the movie was supposed to be a commentary about climate change. But, this also applied to the COVID saga that's being going on in the world. In the era of Internet, we are bombarded by unlimited information that we build ourselves filters to guard around that. Misinformation, however, is a great commodity right now because even with the interconnected world, still live in the bubbles. We are as what the kid from sixth sense said about ghost: "only want to see and hear what we want to see and hear". Yeah, it's a good movie showcased how science, even confirmed one, can be annulled by ignorance and political gains. Btw, I notice th...
