Let's (Not) Confuse The Kids Nowadays

Let's (Not) Confuse The Kids Nowadays

Memes popularity in the world wide web is astronomical particularly in social media. You can't even miss them every time you check your newsfeed (probably they are flooded with the dankest to the most hilarious meme created by the craziest meme lord surfing the net). Later in 2018, the meme "Let's Confuse The Kids Nowadays" become the newest trend and true to its name, it does confuse a lot of generation z kids. Whatever the connection of those picture and what did they mean is only answerable by those who experience the "golden years" of early 90s, 80s up to 70s. But perhaps instead of making them wondering what the heck is with those picture, why not try enlighten them? This...

FOOD #1 ❤️ 

FOOD #1 ❤️ 

Hello, it’s me again 😁 So as I said before, I’m gonna share many things related to Indonesia. And here it is, about my favorite thing, F-O-O-D! First, I’m sorry if the quality of the food is not really good in this picture. I made it by myself haha. Anyway, does anyone know what name of the food is? Well, for you who don’t know what it is, lemme tell ya. It’s called tempe. Tempe was made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form. It has many great nutritions for your body, aaannnddd, it’s really cheap people. You will always find it when you come to Indonesia (especially in Java), in the restaurants or even in...

What is it about Bali’s Culture that keeps bringing People in?

What is it about Bali’s Culture that keeps bringing People in?

Travellers began arriving in Bali around 100 years ago, making the journey by sea on a weekly steamship service from Java. Most were Dutch and English package tourists eager for an exotic cultural adventure and a tantalising glimpse of local women, all of whom were too modest – and too clever – to be ogled by a bunch of gawking Europeans. Fortunately, these voyeuristic visitors were replaced by independent travellers who came to Bali to revel in the island’s natural beauty, heritage and spirituality. Many were artists who stayed in thatched huts and ate with the villagers, immersing themselves in the local way of life. While few modern-day tourists would be willing to forgo...

Are We Addicted to Social Media?

Are We Addicted to Social Media?

Let’s take a poll. Who has Liked a video of puppies or retweeted an article without even reading it just because the title sounded interesting? No need to be ashamed, we’ve all done it. As rational as we are, there is something stronger than us that determines our actions on social networks – a je ne sais quoi that makes us connect daily or even hourly, to check what’s going on. But what is it exactly? A digital hypnosis? You might be thinking of certain acronyms like FOMO, FOBO, or NoMo. Even though it might feel like it at times, these acronyms don’t give us the full picture. This strange phenomenon of addiction is rooted in our brains. Several basic psychological processes...

💫INSPIRING QUOTE💫

💫INSPIRING QUOTE💫

We know – it has been measured in many experiments – that children with strong impulse control grow to be better adjusted, more dependable, achieve higher grades in school and college and have more success in their careers than others. Success depends on the ability to delay gratification, which is precisely what a consumerist culture undermines. At every stage, the emphasis is on the instant gratification of instinct. In the words of the pop group Queen, “I want it all and I want it now.” A whole culture is being infantilised.

Self surveillance in a Panoptic society 

Self surveillance in a Panoptic society 

If you were unfortunate enough to have been incarcerated in England at the end of the 18th Century, you may have found yourself inside a ghoulish structure called the Panopticon.  This unique architectural structure was the brainchild of philosopher named Jeremy Bentham who, in 1791, theorised this glass-roofed, circular structure featuring prison cells facing inwards along its external wall, which faced a central guard tower. This ingenious structure allowed guards, stationed within the rotund tower, to keep all inmates in the surrounding cells operating under the assumption that they were under constant surveillance. Its ingenuity lay in the fact that the...

Who We Are Meant To Be 

Who We Are Meant To Be 

           Will there become a day where anyone is stripped off with the dread of “not being good enough,” the fear of not fitting in and just live the life we have always wanted?       We live in a world where our worth are measured with the things we possess and stuff we can do; our souls, measured by the number of likes and shares we receive, the quantity of friends and followers we have online. Our world has taught us that the things that are valuable are things that are tangible which led almost every one of us to show what we deliberately want to reveal in order to be accepted by the society; forgetting the true value of our self worth. Our world has taught us...

The One Who Really Cared.

The One Who Really Cared.

"I care" many people are saying this, specially when you are troubled. Yes, I know, what now? I mean am I the only one that really gets annoyed by this? Bitter me, what I mean is I'm annoyed because I know for a fact that they really did not. Warning this is not a rant, I think this is the truth (well, at least for me). Maybe a lot of you reading this thinks that they are appreciating you yet why think like that. Okay, so the point is... If someone really cares, he/she makes a way. That person will do something for your situation, even though if it means he has to sacrifice something, needless to say time, money, hangouts, whatever. I'm not saying that I want people to focus on me, what...
