Online gaming

When I am talking about casino, that doesn’t mean I am a gambler, nor suggesting anybody to be one. Actually, I’m just amazed on how people nowadays can just do almost everything they like to do without having to leave their house. All they need to do is connecting their computer set to the Internet, and everything would be just a click away from their mouse. And that includes playing online casino.

Even now there is a site reviewing the list of online casino games. The site has a team comprising of 20 editors who would review the best online casinos and rate them in various terms, such as security, speed, graphics, bonuses offered, payout time and many more.

Not only the editors could make the list of the best online gaming, players also have the opportunity to determine top online casinos by casting their votes for any casino they consider good. Regardless the good or bad votes, the most voted online casinos basically just a list to show that they have been around a long time and have many players.

Rebuilding financial future

Who wouldn’t know the financial crisis starting to attack the U.S caused, among others, by subprime mortgages? But you don’t have to worry, because that doesn’t mean the end of the world. You still have the opportunity to rebuild your financial strength presently and even for the future.

This opportunity is offered online via bad credit loans site. The site can be one of the great resources that could help consumers to financially get back on their feet again. The expert staffs would continuously monitor the credit marketplace so that consumers could get the best offers available. By doing so, it is expected that consumers would have necessary knowledge and resources to help them find the best credit offer to fit their needs, despite a bad credit history.

There are several categories offered to fit consumer’s financial needs, i.e. credit cards, home loans, credit repair, auto loans, credit report & score and personal loans. All you have to do is visit the bad credit loans page and search for the fittest offer that would help you rebuild your financial condition.

What is love?

What is love, if I may ask? It’s just a simple 4-letter word, but when you’re attacked by love, it can turn your life upside down. It could embrace you like a warm sunny day in the summer and, on the contrary, it might thrust your heart like a sharp wind in the winter.

Then again, what is love, actually? Quoting Mark Twain, I would say that love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. It’s interesting, innit? It may sound a little bit confusing, but it’s not as puzzling as the following quote from Woody Allen:

“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.”

So, am I still trying to understand what love is? Now I prefer not to. I don’t need to know the literal meaning of love. I just want to experience it, to feel the excitement of fancying and being fancied by someone, to have flushed cheeks when meet my special one, or even to suffer from missing or being missed by someone.

I want to experience all the chemistry of love, as being described by a neighbouring blog, and embraced like a warm sunny day in the summer.

The romantic and charming Aquitaine

I believe France would be the capital city of the world when it comes to romantic atmosphere. You will find such ambiance in most of the places in the country. And one of the places having the quality of being romantic and charming is the region of Aquitaine.

The region could be spotted in southwestern France and it is featured with rolling hills, forests, lakes, farms and vineyards. I can imagine spending a few days there, in the peaceful countryside, would give me unforgettable experiences. There are plenty of things to do and to see.

More than 175 prehistoric sites are found in Aquitaine region. One of the most well-known attractions is Caves at Lascaux, home to some of the most famous cave paintings in the world. Other highlights include viewing the rarest birds of Europe and enjoying fabulous art collections. It is also possible to rent an apartment and relax in medieval Agen.

Further, it is interesting to know that the region also covers the area of Gironde, which includes Bordeaux, the famous wine-producing area in France. Having that advantage, I’m sure I don’t want to miss the experience of wine testing in Girone and Bordeaux. I also heard that we could book a wine testing holiday from a private villa.

My, oh, my, now I can’t really wait to have a memorable holiday in Aquitaine.

kangen juga...

yup, yup, ternyata kangen juga menulis di blog tentang hal2 yang sifatnya lebih pribadi. maksudnya bukan curhat2 banget sih, tapi lebih personal dibanding tulisan2 iklan yang bisa dibilang cukup marak terlihat di sini sebulan belakangan ini.

yaah, namanya juga usaha. toh belakangan ini saya memang sedang tidak ada mood untuk menuliskan cerita2 seperti biasa. kalaupun sempat terlintas ide di kepala, itu akan menetap di sana, karena otak sedang enggan mengolahnya lebih jauh.

tapi ya itu tadi, ternyata ngangeni juga. dan kebetulan saat ini saya sedang punya stok mood yang cukup banyak untuk menulis di blog, tapi sayangnya tidak dibarengi dengan stok ide tulisan :D

dan jadilah saya meracau tidak jelas seperti ini. padahal ini sangat berbahaya. saat kita punya keinginan besar untuk menulis di blog, apalagi di jam2 rawan curhat seperti sekarang ini, tanpa didukung oleh fokus yang jelas tentang tulisan yang ingin dituangkan, maka besar kecendurangannya kita akan terperosok ke lembah nista percurhatan. dan itu sangat tidak baik bagi saya. atau tepatnya, paling saya hindari :D

untuk amannya, mungkin lebih baik saya sudahi saja tulisan ini hingga saya benar2 tahu apa yang akan saya tulis.

How does the idea sound? It sounds good, eh? So, what are you waiting now? Order your Valentine’s cookies now before it’s too late.

para anggota dewan yang ter...

... bodoh?
... kurang kerjaan?
... mata duitan?

agak takjub juga saya ketika membaca sebuah berita di milis tentang rencana memasukkan sebuah pasal dalam uu lalu lintas dan angkutan jalan yang akan mengharuskan pengendara sepeda untuk memiliki SIM. komentar pertama yang terlintas dalam otak saya hanyalah: whatthefuck??!!! (pardon my french, please)

tadinya saya sempat berpikir, mungkin yang diharuskan memiliki SIM adalah pengendara becak, kendaraan umum tidak bermotor yang notabene sudah dilarang beredar di jalan2 besar. tapi setelah membaca kutipan berikut ini, saya jadi ragu (meskipun tetap berharap semoga saya hanya salah menginterpretasikan kalimat itu):

"Aturan baru berlalu lintas sedang digodok Komisi V (Bidang Perhubungan) DPR. Salah satunya aturan kepemilikan surat izin mengemudi (SIM) bagi pengguna sepeda, kusir delman, dan pengayuh becak. Jika semua fraksi partai politik setuju, aturan itu akan diberlakukan secara nasional. "Saat ini dalam tahap mencari masukan dari berbagai pihak," ujar anggota Komisi V Abdullah Azwar Anas kemarin (10/2)...

Selama ini UU Nomor 14 Tahun 1992 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan belum mengatur pengguna sepeda dan becak secara spesifik. "Naskah revisinya dari pemerintah. SIM untuk sepeda itu hanya salah satu pasal baru," ujar Anas. Aturan hukum bagi pengayuh becak selama ini diberlakukan secara lokal oleh sebagian pemerintah daerah.

...

Anggota Komisi V Abdul Hakim menambahkan, di Indonesia SIM hanya sebagai alat legitimasi secara ekonomis. Yakni, pemasukan pajak sebesar-besarnya. "Harus ada aturan baru yang menjamin keamanan setiap pemilik SIM, baik pengguna kendaraan bermotor maupun tidak bermotor," katanya.

...."

mungkin pengetahuan saya masih sangat terbatas, tidak seperti para anggota dewan yang sudah berkeliling dunia mengadakan studi banding, tapi dari yang saya lihat selama ini belum ada negara yang mewajibkan pengendara sepeda untuk memiliki SIM. tapi bukan berarti tidak ada ketentuan yang mengatur cara berlalu lintas bagi para pengemudi sepeda. juga bukan berarti para pesepeda itu dapat bebas melanggar aturan lalu lintas tanpa bisa dikenakan denda. semua tetap ada aturan dan hukuman bagi pelanggarnya. tapi ya bukan berarti mengharuskan pengendara sepeda untuk memiliki SIM kan?

hmmm, saya jadi penasaran, apa lagi yang sedang dipikirkan pecundang2 terhormat yang berkantor di senayan itu.

Dial a phone

In this era of mobility, who wouldn’t need a mobile phone? Nowadays, people tend to go crazy when they forget to bring their phone with them. Apparently, mobile phone has become a sort of life-supporting device for everyone. As a mobile person, I must say that the statement is quite true.

And these days, as there are so many products launched, I find it even more confusing to choose what kind of mobile phone I actually need. Do I need the big one? A small, stylish, smart, simple or sophisticated one? All I know, I just need a phone that would facilitate me in communicating with my friends wherever I am. So, I am looking for good mobile phone deals, which I believe I could find in dial a phone website.

Bettercaring

I just read a page on the Internet about nursing homes, special places where elderly people are taken care decently. And bettercaring is one of the nursing homes that would take care of the elderly so they don’t have to stay at home alone.

There three categories of the care options offered by Bettercaring. They are care at home, residential care and finance. Apparently they are offering the elderly several options that would suit them better and make their life more comfortable.

Of course it is important for the elderly to have a comfortable life and have suitable activities so they can enjoy their days. And I believe that’s what nursing home is all about. It’s not a place to alienate our beloved elderly relatives. Instead, it is a place for them to find a happy life together with their friends from the same age. And I also believe many of them prefer to move to a care home than to stay at home alone.

Grado headphones

I need to find myself headphones. It will help me through my days full of music. But then several questions come up. What kind of headphones do I need? Which type? What brand? What specification? And so on and so forth.

I try to browse the Internet to find the answer and I come across the page of Grado headphones. It seems like there are various types of Grado headphones with a wide range of price. I read comments from Grado headphones users and apparently they are satisfied with the quality of the headphones. Hmmm, that's interesting. I might consider to have one of them.

Tilana for a secure backup

As a person who lives and works mostly in front of a computer, I must say that half of my life-supporting files are stored in my laptop. My important documents, pictures, movies, music and everything are kept there. I can’t imagine having my laptop crashed before I make a backup of all my files.

Yes, having all the files in my laptop backed up is the most important thing for me. I couldn’t afford losing them all just because of my carelessness. That’s why I manage to do continuous data protection on weekly basis. And to make it more secure, I also have remote file access and remote storage access for my backup files. By doing so, I hope I won’t face any difficulty when something happens with my laptop or with the files itself.

Online casino website

Actually, I am not the kind of person who likes to gamble. I don’t know why, maybe it’s just because my luck isn’t so good in that department. But every time I come across some online casino websites, it reminds me of a friend of mine who once worked in a betting place.

I know that what she did is not completely the same as the things in online casino website, but I believe the idea is more or less the same. I still can remember how excited she was every time she saw one of her favourite players won the bet.

And now, when I unexpectedly find this page of online casino, I remember her advice regarding playing the games online. Don’t just play in any online casino, you have to make sure that you’re playing in a trusty place with good game experiences and bonuses. Wow, what an advice! I am wondering where she is working now.

Furniture for the house

Having a house of our own is everybody's dream. And that includes me, of course. I can envision me living in my very own house, a neat and comfortable place.

I'm not dreaming about having a super huge house, though I wouldn't mind having one, but it must be completed with a cozy dining room furniture, where I can enjoy having good meals or even a get together party with friends and family. And that reminds me, it would be cool if I can also manage to have a small corner of bar furniture in the dining room.

And as sleeping is an important activity to restore my energy, I want my bedroom furniture to satisfy the needs. It doesn't have to be big and fancy, but it must be comfortable and providing good ambiance for a relaxing time. Further, considering I'd like to invite friends and relatives to spend the nights in my place, I think I also need to furnish my house with convertible furniture.

menerima kos2an

ibaratnya sebuah rumah, saya merasa blog saya ini bagaikan sebuah rumah yang mulai menjalankan bisnis sampingan untuk sekedar menambah uang belanja. ya, rumah saya di sini mulai menerima kos2an.

dan sebagaimana layaknya rumah pribadi yang menerima beberapa anak kos yang lalu lalang, tentunya saya harus rela kehilangan privasi penuh atas rumah saya. saya harus rela jika ada orang2 yang keluar masuk rumah pribadi saya, sepanjang saya memberi izin dan mengetahui siapa dia.

hal itulah yang terjadi dengan blog saya saat ini. postingannya tidak lagi sepenuhnya berisi hal2 seputar saya dan lingkungan saya, tapi kadang dipenuhi postingan iklan numpang lewat, seperti halnya anak kos yang sering mondar-mandir.

yaah, demi biaya hidup yang semakin mahal, saya harus rela menyewakan lahan rumah saya untuk mendapat sedikit pemasukan. hingga saat ini saya belum ada rencana untuk pindah. saya masih bisa hidup bersama anak2 kos itu.

tapi tidak tertutup kemungkinan suatu saat nanti saya pindah karena memutuskan untuk menyewakan seluruh lahan di rumah ini untuk kos. mungkin saya bisa kembali ke rumah lama yang lebih sepi. tapi itu baru kemungkinan, karena sebisa mungkin saya akan bertahan di rumah ini.

I want refrigerator

Can you imagine living without having any refrigerators in your house? I can't. First, I cannot stand the idea of having no cold drinks anytime I want to quench my thirst. Then, I need a place where I can keep my frozen foods for days.

Who wouldn't know refrigerator, a big, cool box in which food can be stored at low temperatures? And since it's like a must have box in every house, it is of course easy to buy it at good price.

In fact, you can buy refrigerators from online store. For example, you can buy it from www.wize.com/refrigerators, where you can choose various brand of fridge at a wide range of price and type.
