Helen Keller is Watching Over Us

Oprah said that the key to a succesful relationship is communication.

But how do you communicate, when you can't hear and you can't see?
Helen Keller had passed the test. But can they?

A young journalist who loved drawing got a new assignment today from her new boss. That was, to interview a trumpetist from a local jazz band. She didn't know him, she had no interest in music, actually.

What the new boss didn't know was that the young journalist's ears hadn't been responsive ever since she'd been born. But the young journalist was not in the mood to argue the new boss, indeed she wasn't so open about her disability, she didn't like people to worry more than they should be.

So she decided to just take the plunge, and she strolled to the café where the band usually played. Just a few words, she thought, and all done. She had called her coworker to help too, for, you know, the musical part.

But as God and Keller watched over her, the twist of fate smiled. She couldn't interview the man by herself, well, at least for the first time. The trumpetist was young, and blind.

But they would both develop an interest of each other, in a very different way.

A music-lover man who couldn't see. An art-lover woman who couldn't hear.
They were taking the test to prove that this cliché quote was once again correct :
That love knows no barriers.

Shin Layout!

Well I know it's not even a month since I first created this blog, but surely the old layout needed a little bit of tune up~

So, here I am with a shin (new) layout, more like what I've imagined it to be!

I hope you like it as much as I do, though there are few things that I'd like to edit later, like the font color in the archive section (not the archive title), I think it's too bright. I gotta find out how to edit it!

Enjoy~! New posts coming ^o^

Trivia : Press F11 and scroll down, see more of the beautiful image I got from my dear Google :)

Tipe-tipe Suporter Bola

Berdasarkan observasi selama World Cup kemarin dan selama menjadi penikmat bola, rasanya suporter bola bisa dikategorikan menjadi berbagai golongan :

1. Suporter Terlalu Setia
Terlalu setia alias..... fanatik. Sangat fanatik mendukung salah satu negara atau klub bola. Pokoknya tim gw yang paling keren! Mau timnya sedang bagus atau jelek, di mata sang suporter permainannya selalu bagus. Mau orang-orangnya bersih atau bermasalah, di lidah sang suporter selalu saja ada pembenaran tersendiri.

2. Suporter Terlalu Realistis
Suporter tipe ini bisa berbalik membenci tim yang awalnya dia dukung sendiri gara-gara permainan yang jelek atau orang-orangnya yang bermasalah. Bisa juga sampai agak ekstrem, yaitu justru mendukung tim lawan atau mem-blackmail anggota tim yang dianggap biang kerok kekalahan. Contohnya adalah pendukung Perancis yang malah mendukung Afrika Selatan
saat laga Perancis vs Afrika Selatan.

Finally : A Blog!

Well, just as it says in the title, finally a blog for me!
It's late, I know people have been making blog since the megalitkhum age (exaggeration), but as the saying goes, "Better late than never", I guess it's never too late to start a blog.

Some of you may or may not know that I'm really fond of writings, either reading them or imagining me writing them. Now, I guess, it's time for me to take a step further than just imagining them :3

I'll write about everything (almost, maybe), because I simply adore everything. To those who thinks you've known me well, beware!
Sometimes I'll write in English, sometimes in Indonesian. Why? Because I believe that some things are better said in English, some are better in Indonesian, and some are better not to be said at all ^^

As for the layout.... Not too fond with it, but bear with me. I'm still figuring out a lot of things at blogger!

So well, keep up with me if you like :)
(I'd appreciate it if you do so!)
I hope you enjoy reading my writings like I enjoy writing them!
