PPM Management College Celebrates Pancasila Day with ‘LIMA’

“He’s unclean” “It is alright. Our family will bear the sin.”

The scene that immediately caught my attention not long after we rushed in quietly and got our seat at the cinema. We were a little late. When we were in, we were at the scene where the mother of the three siblings from one family had just passed away and they are preparing for her burial. The eldest son has a different belief from his…

How Contact Centers Keeping Up With Gen C

“Hello, how may I assist you?”

A warm welcome greeting with a question that is already familiar in our ears whenever we call the helpline or customer service of one company or business organization. But little did we know that to be able to deliver such welcoming greeting over the phone, it involves a lot of training.

When I was still a kid, I don’t remember this kind of service was even exist…

Things to do in Bandung: Enjoy the Walk to Tebing Keraton

Tebing Keraton or Keraton Cliff is one of the popular places for sunrise viewing in Bandung. It is located about one hour away from Bandung city, uphill, near to Dago and Taman Hutan Raya Juanda.

When I went there for the first time, I was late and missed the moment I was aiming for. Then the next day, I went back again to the same spot with my friends, much earlier – we reached around 6.15 am,…

Dive & Conserve with Livingseas

I can’t remember exactly since when I started to think and search for more information about the diving school. That time, I only had two places in my mind for that – Jakarta or Bali. The first one is because it is closer to where I stay. The latter because I think it might offer much better underwater condition compared to the first one. So, If I were to choose, Bali sounds a better place to go…

Stay Connected in Overseas with XL Pass

First thing when we reach there is to get a local SIM card!

How often we were worried whether the city or the country we will be visiting is wi-fi friendly so we can be connected whenever necessary. Or how much time we have wasted just to find where to get the local SIM card.

Or probably this is the most common scenario:

Before boarding, our parents or our loved ones will send us a message:“Remem…

JAConnexion: A Shuttle Bus Service between Soekarno-Hatta Airport and Major Shopping Malls and Hotels in Jakarta

As we may notice, the number of people taking flight in and out from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is much higher nowadays compared to the past. Whether it is for business purpose or leisure only, plus, the variety of airlines with airfare that is also getting more affordable, has made taking flight as the preferred way to travel for most people. We have not yet mentioned travelers that…

Chena Hot Spring Resort & Aurora Ice Museum in Fairbanks

It is as if we didn’t feel cool enough outside there in Anchorage. But we were told that the best place to view the northern light is in Fairbanks. So, after few days stayed in Anchorage, my sister and I flew there and spent a night just for that purpose. As there was only two of us, we chose to stay in a place where we could see the northern light without a need to travel too far and Chena Hot…

Gula Semut: Get Me Ant Sugar, please!

How if I tell you that you can drink ants?

Euy….luckily that is only IF. 

While I was in Pohuwato, one of the regencies in Gorontalo, I visited one place where I could see the making process of ant sugar. Obviously, it wasn’t made from tons of blended ants. I called it ant sugar, literally, because it is so if I do a direct translation from the local language, Gula Semut. ‘Gula’ means sugar and…

Torosiaje: Walking in the Bajo Village of Gorontalo

Early of this month, Pohuwato, one of the Gorontalo regencies in northern Sulawesi, just celebrated its 14th Anniversary. I was there with few of my friends to attend the Pesona Pulau Pohon Cinta Festival which was part of the celebration. We also explored few potential areas for tourism around Pohuwato and one of the places we went was the Bajo Tribe Village in Torosiaje.

First time I…

One day, I received an unusual travel blogger gathering event invitation.

I said unusual because the event was organized by Purbasari, a local brand for beauty and skin care products in Indonesia. The event target was to introduce the benefits of Purbasari green tea body scrubfor active travellers like us, travel bloggers. I was delighted and showed the invitation to my friend and jokingly said…

Derawan Islands: Up Close & Personal with the Whale Shark

After I failed at my first attempt to see them, I was back again to Derawan Islands few months later with my other group of friends. After being told that the best time to go to Derawan Islands is when there is no full moon, so with some helps from online moon calendar, I chose the date that so-called not a full moon period. Not so sure that time, but yeah, I decided the date.
