Tips : Merawat Cinta Pasangan Kamu



CAUTION !!!

Ehmm..coba2 buat tulisan aaah....
Buat yang umurnya masih di bawah 17 tahun di larang kasih kritik tapi kalo mo ngasih pujian gpp hehehe.


Setiap manusia diciptakan memiliki banyak perasaan kalo bahasa jawa nya "Feeling" ^^
Seperti perasaan Takut, perasaan Gembira, perasaan Sedih dll deh termasuk didalamnya perasaan Cinta. Nah perasaan yang satu ini bukan rada2 lagi tapi bener2 unik. Kenapa unik? Karena perasaan yang satu ini bisa jadi penyebab perasaan2 yang lain. Coba aja kalo kamu diputusin ma pasangan kamu...pasti timbul perasaan Sedih, perasaan sakit. Yang lebih parah lagi mpe raga kita ikut2an sakit. Kalo dah gitu bawaannya jadi sensi, pemarah, ga pede, terlalu lebai ga kalo jadi sakit jiwa huhuhu.


Kalo udah pada tau bahayanya tu perasaan, sedini mungkin kita persiapkan obatnya. Nih aku kasih tau obatnya kalo dah terlanjur di putusin ma pasangan, coba deh kamu lakuin cara2 dibawah ini :

1. Bangun pagi2 trus langsung lakukan gerakan pemanasan seperti vicky burket
(bubur ketan : red) lagi meragain di TV.

2. Jangan mpe bengong mikir yang ngga2 tar malah "ngelonjor" lagi. Maksudnya jangan mpe kita ga ada aktivitas, semakin kita banyak aktivitas makin kita lupa kalo kita lagi sedih. Bener ga? Kan ga mungkin banget main basket sambil nangis. Ya kaaaaan beneeeer ?????


3. Jangan menyalahkan diri sendiri. Uhmm...kalo cara ini belum pernah aku coba biz kebanyakan aktivitasnya, jadi kalo mau tau coba ndiri aja hehehhe.


4. Nah ini cara yang paling pas dan mantap....CARI LAGI PASANGAN YANG LEBIH OK.
Kayanya cara yang terakhir cara yang paling praktis ya.


Tapi ada satu cara lagi yang di jamin aman dan tidak membutuhkan biaya sedikitpun. Mau?? Tau?? Gampang aja ko....GA USAH PUNYA PASANGAN !!!

Oaaahhhem...aku dah ngantuk niy...kalo suka ma tulisan aku kasih komentar, kalo ga suka yaa ga usah di baca hehhee. Ini tulisan aku yang pertama...di maklumin kalo banyak cacatnya yang aku tau banget pasti cacat semua.

O iya tulisan ini hanya fiktif, bila ada kesamaan judul, dan ide itu bukan suatu kesengajaan tapi suatu keterbukaan hehehehe.

Thank you...matur nuwun...terima kasih...hatur nuhun...dll...dll...dll

Shopping in Thailand

Mah Boon Khrong
Also known as MBK, this massive shopping complex consists of the Tokyu department store and more than 1,000 specialised shops -- most of them owner operated -- with stuff ranging from mobile phones, electronic gadgetry, local designer clothing, endless quality knockoffs, old and new camera gear (the best place in the city to get your cameras repaired or to pick up rare equipment) and countless other consumer delights. The complex also houses movie theatres, a bowling alley, and as with most of Bangkok loads of places to eat. At the smaller stalls, be prepared to bargain.

Siam Square
This is Bangkok's pre-mall shopping haven and nearly forty years on, remains popular, especially among young and trendy Thai teens. It is outdoors, a sort of shopping village, consisting of about a dozen narrow streets (some of them pedestrianised) and lined with small shops and restaurants. Many of these are name-brand boutiques (usually with better prices than you would pay at home) and independent clothing and curio designers. This is probably the trendiest spot in town to shop if you want to pick up cutting-edge stuff from America, Europe and Japan.

It is a popular hangout for Thai teens. In any case, it is a great place for a bit of people watching. The place also has loads of ice creams parlours, fast food, Thai treats, a Hard Rock Cafe and three old-style movie theatres -- much more pleasant and grand than modern ciniplexes. A good way to satisfy your consumer desires and take in a little modern-day Thai culture.

Siam Center and Siam Discovery
Across the road from Siam Square, and in some ways an extension of it, this air-conditioned mall has scores of shops in the upper end fashion, including clothes and other trendy youth pursuits like rollerblading and other sporting shops. Alongside this are electronics shops, (genuine) watches, sunglasses, furniture, music shops, and most other things you'd expect to find -- most of it top drawer stuff. Be sure to cross the pedestrian bridge to the attached Siam Discovery Center, a six floor building with a different shopping theme on each floor plus plenty of western and Thai restaurants.

Siam Paragon
Occupying more than 20 acres of land, Siam Paragon is one of the biggest and most elegant shopping centers in Asia. Dubbed as "the Pride of Bangkok", it is the largest upscale shopping mall in Thailand. Historically, the shopping mall is located on the former site of the Siam Intercontinental Hotel whose lease ended in 2002. Open in late 2005, it features a vast range of retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, luxury car showrooms, an opera house, a supermarket and an aquarium.

Bangkok's Open Markets:

Khaosan Road, Banglamphu
Backpacker central has a lot of market-style stalls selling all sorts from beaded necklaces to wooden elephants, to weapons that would frighten a Ninja. In spite of this being the budget traveller's haven, the prices are not necessarily the cheapest in town. Trok Mayom, a small alleyway running parallel to Khaosan is a great place for custom leather crafts for a personalised wallet embossed with your name, or saddlebags for your Harley back home, or anything else your fertile imagination can dream up.

Chatuchak Weekend Market
This massive market, at the end of the northern Skytrain line of Morchit Station, has everything you ever imagined. The creativity of the whole country is distilled here. Leatherwork, lamps, curios, sculptures, furniture, Japanese action figurines - name it and you'll find it here. Such is its fame that you have to bargain hard to get a good price.

Chatuchak is only open on Saturday and Sunday (many of the vendors have regular jobs during the week), it can get pretty hot and crowded here, so pace yourself and don't expect to cover the whole place. To make the most of it, pick up a copy of the Nancy Chandler Shopping Map to Bangkok, which lists off all the sections of the market and what you can expect to find there.

Suan Lum Night Bazaar
This market is similar to Chatuchak (see above), but with less variety as it is still quite new. Nonetheless, it has a wide range of stuff, is conveniently located near the Sala Daeng Skytrain Station, and has a more open and comfortable design, plus a big beer and food garden with entertainment. Opens in the late afternoon, and closes at about 11 pm.



Patpong
Tucked in on the main road of the city's most famous red-light district, this market has mostly handicrafts and knockoffs in the way of t-shirts, watches, binoculars (not that you need them on this road), luggage, DVDs and more. A novel place to shop and very popular with tourists, but the vendors pitch their prices very high here, so bargain hard -- though the vendors are pretty hard to bend here. If you can't get what you want, clear the way for some other mug -- there are plenty behind you.

Sukhumvit Road
Along the main hotel strip of Sukhumvit Road from soi 11 to soi 21 are countless street stalls (more sparse in the daytime). On sale here are similar items to Patpong (see above), and the prices tend to be a bit more reasonable. A good place to get T-shirts with funny slogans on them.



Chinatown
Around the intersections of Siphon Han and Phahurat roads in Chinatown you'll find a bizarre range of shopping opportunities. It's a joy to poke around in the daytime and see what you can find. Guns, musical equipment, bicycle shops, and just about anything else that can be sold appear in groups of three to ten shops carrying the same items, ensuring you can get the best price going. Nearby are of course loads of Chinese restaurants (most with excellent and cheap seafood). A great way to spend an idle day of discovery.

SHOPPING DI BALI

Shopping adalah suatu kegiatan yang menyenangkan. Apalagi bagi yg gila shopping, ada kepuasan tersendiri katanya. Bali banyak memiliki lokasi2 shopping yg menggiurkan.


CELUK
Celuk adalah nama sebuah desa di kabupaten Gianyar yang menjadi pusat dari kerajinan perak & emas di Bali. 99% penduduknya bekerja sebagai pande perak. Berbagai model dan design perhiasan ada disini. Mulai dari gelang, kalung, anting, bros, dampai dengan pernik2 yang dibuat dari perak komplit tersedia. Kualitas peraknya tidak usah diragukan dengan menggunakan tingkat karat 95%. Semua jenis hasil kerajinan perak ini adalah buatan tangan atau handmade. Harga untuk turis lokal biasanya adalah 50% discount dari harga publish. Kalau anda jago nawar, anda bisa dapat lebih banyak discount lagi.


BATUAN/UBUD
Bagi yg hobby dengan lukisan, desa ini adalah rumahnya para pelukis2 Bali. Berbagai jenis lukisan tersedia, mulai dari yg bergaya tradisional Bali sampai modern. Lukisan disini memiliki kualitas tinggi seperti bahan cat yg dipakai, kanvas, dll. Berbeda halnya dengan lukisan yg dijual di pasar2 seni seperti Sukawati, yang bahan catnya adalah kurang bagus dan yang melukispun adalah orang2 sekolahan yg baru belajar melukis. Harga lukisan bervariasi, tapi untuk wisatawan lokal masih dalam hitungan ratusan ribu rupiah bergantung pada jenis dan besar lukisan tsb. Untuk discount..tergantung kepiawaian anda menawar.


PASAR SENI SUKAWATI
Kalau anda ke Bali pasti tidak akan melewatkan Pasar Seni Sukawati. Ya, tempat ini seolah menjadi ikon belanja souvenir termurah di Bali. Terletak di desa Sukawati kira2 40 menit drive dari Kuta. Disini akan dijumpai beraneka ragam souvenir khas Bali spt kaos, handicraft dari kayu, sandal payet, tas2, bed cover, dll. Namanya juga pasar, so anda harus pintar2 menawar. Jangan ragu2 untuk menawar dari harga terendah spt celana2 pendek model hawaii, langsung saja ke Rp.10.000.-. Jika dalam proses tawar menawar ini tidak terjadi kesepakatan harga, jangan khawatir untuk meninggalkan pedagang tersebut. Mereka tidak akan marah ataupun mengumpat. Tapi kalau mereka pikir harga penawaran anda masih masuk dalam kalkulasi mereka, anda pun akan dipanggilnya.
Hati-hati dalam memilih barang. Kualitas barang disini agak kurang. Kadang size-nya pun tidak sesuai dengan stempel yg tertera. Saran saya, kalau anda membeli, yakinkan untuk melihat dan meneliti barang tsb terlebih dahulu. Syukur2 kalau dapat yg bagus. Tapi kalau dapatnya yg kurang bagus, wah gak mungkin untuk dikembalikan.


SEMINYAK
Masih berada diseputar Kuta area. Disini berjejer toko2 yg menjual berbagai macam barang2 menarik dan berkualitas tinggi. Maklum, daerah ini adalah daerah bisnis yg fokusnya adalah untuk ekspor. Perhiasan dan pernik2 dari bahan payet atau bahan plastik bisa dijumpai disini. Begitu juga dengan sandal2 dan sepatu yg unik. Bagi anda yg menyenangi fashion berkelas, para designer menjadikan Seminyak sebagai tempat mereka memajang kreasinya. Lampu2 kristal dan barang2 untuk interior rumah yg modern dan menarik bisa anda dapatkan juga disini. Intinya, kalau anda menyenangi shopping barang berkualitas tinggi, datanglah ke Seminyak.


KUTA & LEGIAN
Kuta Square adalah satu tempat dimana anda bisa mengunjungi toko2 yg menjual produk2 branded. Disini juga ada pertokoan Matahari dan pasar seni Kuta. Banyak sekali pilihan yg tersedia disini.
Sepanjang jalan di daerah Kuta dan Legian, toko2 berderet sepanjang jalan. Pemandangan ini cukup menarik untuk dinikmati walaupun hanya sekedar buat windows shopping saja. Kalau anda berminat, jangan lupa untuk menawar dulu sebelum beli, kecuali produk2 branded yg memang sudah ada tag price-nya.

DaGaDu : CINDERAMATA ALTERNATIF


CINDERAMATA ALTERNATIF


Sejak awal kelahirannya, Dagadu Djokdja telah memposisikan diri sebagai produk cinderamata alternatif dari Djokdja dengan mengusung tema utama: Everything about Djokdja. Ya artefaknya, bahasanya, kultur kehidupannya, maupun remeh-temeh keseharian yang terjadi di dalamnya. Terminologi “alternatif” digunakan untuk membedakan produk Dagadu Djokdja dengan cinderamata lain dengan karakteristik : memberi bingkai estetika pada hal-hal keseharian yang dianggap sederhana dan remeh; mengungkapkan gagasan dengan gaya bermain-main yang mudah dipahami; memberi penekanan pada asfek keatraktifan melalui bentuk-bentuk sederhana yang mencolok; memilih citra fabrikan ketimbang craft atau kerajinan, baik melalui material yang digunakan maupun unsur-unsur desain dari pemilihan warna hingga finishing.

KREATIFITAS KOLEKTIF
Penciptaan desain Dagadu Djokdja tidak dipandang sebagai ekspresi individual, melainkan justru muncul dan berkembang sebagai hasil karya kolektif berdasarkan kerja kolektif pula. Kolektifitas ini menyangkut pemunculan gagasan, pengembangan rancangan awal, hingga pengembangan rancangan lanjut, dan penyelesaian akhir yang dilandasi oleh semangat kreatifitas di semua lini. Kinarya dan kinerja kolektif inilah yang membuat Dagadu Djokja semakin kuat dan bulat menghasilkan desain-desain cinderamata bercitra smart, smile, djokdja.
