Media oh Media...

Kadang-kadang aku heran, kenapa semakin hari, pemberitaan di koran semakin "tidak beretika" (but maybe that's only my opinion!), dan bahkan cenderung membesar-besarkan berita yang sebenarnya. Mulai dari kasus sampah di Bandung, sampai penanganan tragedi gempa tektonik di Yogyakarta. Of course, kita gak bisa menutup mata dengan kenyataan bahwa sampah di Bandung memang tidak ditangani secara benar, atau penanganan korban bencana gempa di Yogya berjalan lambat. Tapi pemberitaan yang mengesankan seolah-olah seluruh kota Bandung penuh dengan sampah (yang mana sampah sebenarnya terkonsentrasi dalam jumlah besar di titik-titik tertentu), atau seolah-olah pemerintah tidak mengambil tindakan apa pun dalam menangani korban bencana gempa Yogya (tentunya penanganan bencana sebesar ini harus direncanakan dan di-manage dengan seksama, supaya bantuan betul-betul sampai kepada yang membutuhkan), terkadang disampaikan terlalu berlebihan (belum lagi wawancara dengan orang-orang yang hanya bisa NATO : no action talk only). I wonder, betulkah jurnalistik sudah tidak punya etika lagi?

Bandung oh Bandung...

This afternoon I've returned from Bandung to Jakarta. Yesterday I made a trip to Pasar Baru and Alun-Alun Bandung, to visit my favorite handicraft supply stores.

First stop is at Dunia Baru, which I used to buy cute buttons and cords. Sad to say, the buttons sold there are not as cute as they used to sell couple of years ago. I saw some beads, hmmm.. that's give me inspiration to try some new craft in beads jewelry! So I bought some, and as soon as I finish the jewelry, I'll publish it. :)

Next stop was handicraft store in front of Toko Jopankar. I think it's the most complete handicraft store in Bandung, but unfortunately, I didn't need anything at the moment, so I just bought a bunch of acrylic wool. One of the shopkeepers still recognized me (although I haven't been there for 3 years!). If you have a handicraft hobby, and you stay in Bandung, you better take a look at this store.

Alun-Alun Bandung is a nice place for "economic" shopping. You just need one stop shopping there and you can get all the things you need!

Fire Drill!!!!

Today me and my friends went to Pelita Air Services headquarter to discuss about training program to be. While waiting in their office, the alarm is start to sound. Oh my God, are we on fire?! The person whom we met said it just a fire drill. Fyuh.... But after few minutes, he requested us to participate the drill, and run through the stair! So, as good visitors, we participated the drill, and follow the employees to assembly area. Hehehe.... I think it's a good drill, because they used real fire, real fire engine, real firemen, and all the employees and visitor should follow the drill. Thanks God it's only a drill...

New Craft Workshop

I just start my (commercial) craft publication, find it on L'atelier d'Arin. Oh, and please meet Arthur, one of my favorite craft model. :)

Recent Project

Finally, I've finished (another) ready-to-stitch with Bearylinn Monroe. She's a cute lady bear, isn't she? Actually I plan to make this bag as a gift to a friend, but unfortunately the zipper is not working appropriately, so I decide to give my friend another gift, and this bag become one of my properties. :)
