indonesia unite via twitter

(Written on LiveJournal on 17 July 2009 at 10.55 PM)

Twitter has always been my first source of news. Of Indonesia, of the world, of anything.
Twitter has beaten the media in delivering firsthand news of this morning's bombs in Ritz Carlton & JW Marriott at Mega Kuningan, Jakarta.
And because I had been following the news closely via Twitter (I didn't even see MetroTV for once! Coz I got all the updates from Twitter!), I didn't sleep at all last night. I finally collapsed to bed this afternoon and I've become a true batgirl *lol*

News about Jakarta bombings today, July 17th:


Manchester United was supposed to come to Jakarta for a match on Monday, July 20th and was booked to stay at Ritz Carlton, but they obviously cancelled their plan (read the BBC news) and the Indonesian President regretted their cancellation.

Aulia said here: "Rather sad to see it needed a terrorist attack to move thousands of Indonesians to unite on Twitter #indonesiaunite"
I agree with him.

So, see for yourself in Twitter... #IndonesiaUnite

WE ARE NOT AFRAID!

ratatouille

Le Festin, from the soundtrack of Ratatouille.
This song makes me think of Paris and its stylistic sidewalk cafes.

pretending to be japanese :P

This is taken by my mom inside a Tokyo Metro train.
I'm the one with the pearl jacket, pretending to be asleep (with a smile :D).
Did I blend well with the Japanese? :P

My brother said that the girl sleeping beside me is really beautiful although she's not young anymore.
The Japanese women sure are pretty *nods nods*
I miss Tokyo!
