Win the CHIP photo contest

Awesome!!! My friend baskoro has an IT (Information Technology) community, More precisely is community of IT Magazine. The magazines called CHIP. This Indonesian IT magazine made a photo contest about the magazine. The theme is "my unique photo with CHIP". He ask me and another friends to be his model. So, me, Johan and Alex help him. We made unique styles with CHIP magazine.

I arrived at campus and wear a green T-shirt and yellow hoodie. I saw Alex wear a red T-shirt, and Jo wear a black T-Shirt. Finally, Jo wear my green T-shirt. We felt it'll be unique because we looks like a traffic light. Alex is so over dramatic.

Took pictures on toilet, 6th floor, basement, parking lot in my campus. No tripod and no flash. He just used his default DSLR (alpha) camera with default lens too. It happen suddenly, no long plan before did it, but the result is.....

Baskoro win the contest, he became one of 10 photo contest winners. That's the photo that win the contest. What we got from it? He got Original Microsoft Office 2007 Single User. Not bad. Judges from CHIP said "Unique photo because CHIP Foto Video Magazine is competed to read it". In fact, it's not true concept. Our concept is a boy that forget everything because of read the magazine until he will fall down from 6th floor. Whatever, he still the winner.

After photo session, we ate steak together. YEAH!!!

Campus Gathering 2010

This is an annual event organized by the university pastor. It called "Campus Gathering". It was happening at October 20th 2010 in the afternoon. Located in atrium of my campus, the atmosphere was very hot. The invitation is dedicated for all peoples in my campus. From the students, lecturers and officers.

Honestly, I forgot about this event. More and more crowded in atrium made me felt weird. 'What's going on???', then I went to my work table and I just saw the invitation. I remembered it and in my heart I said, "yeah!!! free lunch for today". This event started from 12.15 PM. Suddenly, I called my campus friends to participated. Finally, we flocked together and got ready for the (FREE) lunch!!! My friends that ate together with me are Tee, Welly, Roy, Nadhia, Ari Momo. What we ate? We ate nasi liwet and drunk cocktail. Slurrrrrrpp!!!

The portion is small, not as big as I imagined. Something that made me happy and laugh loudly is I ate together with them. My partner in crime is Welly haha. I knew him since 1st semester. We ate more foods and clucked together...haha so disgusted. I hope it's the last campus gathering, because next year is my last year in this campus. I must graduate from this campus next year...FIGHTING!!!

I just had no idea about '11'

PHOTOGRAPHY! lately, a lot peoples learn about that. peoples show off their self picture that captured from their (D)SLR camera. They took pictures with DSLR or SLR camera, but they did it in auto setting mode. OMG! why not just use a pocket camera or phone camera? Learn more about the functions of DSLR, the characteristics, why use it for photographs. And also about photography knowledges. From 100 photos taken, (PRO) photographers maybe only got 1 decent photo impressions. Photography is unique, unlimited.

I'm not joining on photography community, especially in my campus. DWPh. That's photography community in my campus. Last month, DWPh made an event, yeah!!! photography competition to celebrate the 11th anniversary of DWPh. Theme of competition is '11 (eleven)'. Knew about that, me and my friend (Baskoro) was hunting in every place in Jogja that inspiring me to take a picture according to the theme.

I'm not using my SLR camera. My cellphone camera is enough, still with my favourite (macro) lens. I had no idea. Traffic light, food court, plaza, street, parking lot, we was there. Still no idea. Till now, I have no idea about 11. Whereas, I was born on March 11st. Nonsense. Finally, I didn't collect a photograph at all.

that's my friend photograph that he submitted for this event
title:'waiting time'

and that's the photograph that win the competition
title:'daily use and see'
yeah!!! that's macro, dude
he get Rp 111k

I'm a tour guide

Now about 1,5 semesters I'm not playing skateboard with GP crew, but I still connected with them. I met many talented and funny people who's enjoy skateboarding. Scream, "Skate all day", "Exist or Dead". hohoho . Yesterday (9th October), some people from GP crew came to Magetan attended the Magetan skateboarding competition. They're Jerry, Andi (and girlfriend), Krista, Zul, Bobby. And what the relationship with me? hohoho

I was born in Jember, but since I was in kindergaten, I live in Magetan. Provincially, Jember and Magetan is same, east java. And after graduated from High School, I continue my study in Jogjakarta, play skateboard and meet GP crew. I meet and play with them since 2007. So, yesterday I came to the event and watched their show. At 07.00 PM, I guide them to the border of east java and center java, because they didn't know the way out to Jogja. Became tour guide suddenly. Having fun in the 2nd Saturday night in October 2010 with skateboard's friends.

The first Saturday night in October 2010

Finally, I spent my time on Saturday night together with my friends. It was happening suddenly. First plan is visit my friend's father, but we had new plans because at the same time, there was a computer exhibition. My friends who's spent the time with me are BB, Noel, Momo. OMG!!! I just realize that they're from different communities in my campus. BB from kine club (movie club), Noel from DWPh (photography club), Momo from KSL (Linux and open source software club). And what about me? talk about communities in my campus, I join in SI Mix (tabloid), Koran Kampus (campus newspaper), digitalbrainz. (design community), JUCY (Java programming language community).

Forget about the communities. We arrived in the computer show in the evening and the atmosphere was cloudy and waited a rainy. A minute after we entered JEC (Jogja Expo Center), the rain came. What's on the computer show? Absolutely about computer stuffs. I loved the atmosphere there, a lot of technology update from a lot of IT (Information Technology) brands. Like every year, this event stuffed by a lot of computer brands and counters. SO... what's different? This event was happening start from 2nd - 6th October and in the 2nd day (3rd July), there are 2 photography competitions organized by blueprint and CHIP magazine.

My friends and I came in the 1st day, it's so crowded and we took a picture with WD (Western Digital) icons hohoho. Not just that, My friends and I jazz up the event to get a new Indonesian record for 100.000 couples thumbs. We were enjoying the time. After went to computer exhibition, we ate fried rice near Kridosono stadium at Jogja. What a nice Saturday night, because long time no spent Saturday night with friends.

After came in this event I bought a HP Mini (3014) netbook for my elder sister. I like the design and its newest hardware. I hope she love it. YAY!!!

Hoping to get a big miracle

In this moment my friends (Anggi, Roy, ALex, Yosi) and I look religious. We went to the Regina Pacis (cathedral) near my house. It's huge and it located in the middle of rice & bamboo field. It looks like walt disney castle hohoho. Take a picture in front of the church and Marias cave. No pants, no shoes, just wear everyday clothes.

What's next? we're became mountain peoples. We walked around stones, rice & bamboo fields, trees, heard a lot of bird sound, etc. Our brain refreshed before start this new semester (4th year and it'll become the last year). Graduate as soon as possible and get better life with great job and hoping to become lucky and get a lot of miracles from GOD. And the important is get married with a very nice girl. Say what?? AMEN!!

Trip to East Java ...2nd

After stayed about 3 days in Sarangan, we went to my house. In here are not many places to visit and maybe our time is still running. We just visited GOR (basketball stadium or sport building) near my house. Just took a picture and felt the fast wind and seen sunset there.

Next day, we went to Surabaya, let's RIDE!!! the journey is about 5-6 hours, we took a rest in the middle of journey... so tired. In Surabaya, we had not go anywhere, because we spent our energies in journey. The best moment and the great experience is when in the road. We became aware with this hard life. Friendship forever.

First landing in Magelang

Magelang is a city near Jogja, still in central Java. I never go here before. Stayed in my friends house (Lo Johan). Just take a rest in the 1st day, because the journey to Jo house is very crowded. At night, my friends and me only seen memorable photos in my laptop and sometime we laughed out loud like morons.

In the morning on next day, we take a tour in the tourism place near Jo house. Jogging, take a picture and eat a lot of delicious foods. Honestly, we went here is persuaded Jo's mom, in order that Jo can join with us in our trip. But it did not works. So, we still continue our trip without him.

Trip to East Java ...1st

It's about my last trip with my same major friends in my campus. This group's called SI Trip. SI is 'Sistem Informasi' or 'Information System', that's my major. Mostly, my friends origins is from center of java, because the location of my campus is in center java and my hometown is in east java. So, I invited my friends to made a trip to east Java. Not drive a car, but ride a motorcycle. My friends and I start this trip from Jogjakarta. Owhhh ... differences of motorcycle maybe became problem, but it's not a problem. I was ride a scooter matic hohoho. My friends who's join this trip are Anggi, Yosi, Alex, Roy. We're classmate.

First destination is to my hometown in Magetan. It located 15 kilometres under the Lawu mountain. So, the atmosphere is (very) cold and also the water hohoho. But, we weren't live at my house, we were live in vila in Sarangan lake. Sarangan lake is tourism place in Magetan City. Why we stayed there? because this trip is coincided with my sister's engagement ceremony. we were join in the celebration. Owwwh the way to Magetan, I passed the road that climbed and dropped sharply. My friends are not familiar with the roads like that. So, sometime we took a rest in the middle of our trip.


The atmosphere, air, forest are very clean and fresh. You can visit this place, just for fun or stayed in a few days. Horses, boats, monkeys, sate, meatball, hotel, vila, you can find them here. Recommended place to take a rest from hectic activities.
