i love hugging you from behind,
in the rain.

:)

"If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before,
But it never felt this strong.
You oughta know by now how much I love you.
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll never ask for more than your love.
The world may change my whole life through
but nothing’s gonna change my love for you.
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us like a guiding star
I’ll be there for you if you should need me
You don’t have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are."

George Benson - Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You

"Life and love I dwell upon, so beautiful and true;
to learn the meaning of forever,
and spending it with you."

dear all my loyal blog readers,
if you dont like my posts' topic that have been so monotonous,
feel free to leave.
i'm just spilling out what's on my mind
according to my current condition and mood.
and this is my current condition:
head over heels in love.

:)

too naive?
nuh'uh.
♥

oftentimes, i find that my mouth is very useless.

i rarely succeed in uttering what's on my mind.
i speak through my mind, with myself.
but what i'm feeling or how i'm feeling i cant speak it out.

whenever i talk to God,
hundreds of words conveyed to Him through this mind and heart.
but when i try to speak or spill out what's on my mind - with this mouth of mine,
it's barely worked out.
:(

Especially when i'm with you.
lots of things, feelings, words i want to tell you so bad,
but in the end it is all left unsaid.
i want you to know how i really feel, verbally.
however, i show my feelings to you through how i act.
how i caress your hair or cheek.
how i hug you tightly.
how i hold your hands and play with your fingers.
how i tuck you to sleep.
how i accompany you and just be at your side.
how i search for you whenever your with your friends.
how i wait for your class to finish just to see your face.
how i wanna make you smile.
how i cry whenever you're hurt.
how i look into your eyes and tell you silently, "I'm always here for you"

but at times, i understand that you're tired with my silence.
i want to change.
i need to change.
i have to change.

i've taken some choices.
i've chosen the choices.
i understand the risks.
i have to bravely work through it all.

An assignment had just been done with Astro
In today's Communication Technology Development Class,
we tried to use twitpic

We had to interview one of the lecturers in our beloved university.
At first, we tried to find our own department's lecturers to be interviewed
but unfortunately, we got preceded by other students
so then, we decided to find the lecturer from our neighbor's department,
English Department.

We went to ILC's room and met Ma'am Flo.
We interviewed her for around 5 minutes.
and the bonus is, we had to speak in english.

From our interview, we found out that Ma'am Flo uses Nokia E63.
She's not the kind of person who follows trends.
That's why, she believes that Blackberry is no longer branded.
She agrees that Media Convergence brings simplicity to life,
especially in her work and social life.

She uses social networking, particularly Facebook,
to communicate with her friends and also her students,
it includes giving announcements, giving assignments, etc.
Sometimes, she uses her cellphone for updating her Facebook,
sending or receiving emails, and browsing.

Besides basic tools, like texting or calling,
she really utilizes the facilities in her cellphone.
She told us that her cellphone is really useful for her job as a lecturer.

After talking with her, we took her picture
and went back to media laboratory to upload her picture via twitpic.
We found some difficulties for sending the picture from Astro's email.
But a few minutes later, we succeeded!!!
We were so happy and relieved that the picture got uploaded in Astro's twitpic.
Here's the link.

today at communication technology development class
i learned about QR Code.

according to wikipedia,
QR code is a matrix barcode readable by QR scanners,
mobile phones with camera, and smartphones.

It consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on white background.
The information encoded can be text, URL, or other data.
it looks like this:
Then,
Our lecturer told us to download and install the inigma code reader
to our mobile phones.
Luckily, my sweet not-so-smart Blackberry
installed the application in a few minutes only.

after installing the inigma application,
i was told to scan a QR barcode on Kompas newspaper.
That application scanned the barcode and went online.
The browser automatically opened Kompas' site
that contained the news which its barcode was the one i scanned before.

fun!

flickr.
The one site that compiles aesthetics with online connection.
Flickr is a photo-sharing site, owned by Yahoo,
where users can share full-resolution images
with friends, family and the open Internet,
in a snazzy, graphically rich setting.

a screen shot of flickr's site

Caterina Fake knew she was onto something
when one of the engineers at her Vancouver, British Columbia-based online game
start-up created a cool tool to share photos and save them to a Web page while playing.

She and her programmer husband, Stewart Butterfield,
transformed the project into Flickr.
In less than two years, the photo-sharing site
— now owned by Internet giant Yahoo —
has turned into one of the Web's fastest-growing properties.

ahoo bought the company in March
for an undisclosed sum and moved the 11-person team
to Yahoo headquarters in Sunnyvale.

Since then, Flickr has been on a roll,

riding the wave of consumer fascination with digital cameras.

Shutterbugs are less likely to make many prints these days

but still want an outlet to show off their work.

How much?
The ad-supported version lets users upload 20 megabytes of photos a month free.
That's about 10 to 25 pictures, depending on the resolution.
For $24.95 a year, you get an ad-free version,
and can upload 2 gigabytes a month.

Flickr also offers Calendars, posters and DVDs of photos.
Plus, members can upload pictures and post them on their blogs.

In 2009,
Flickr announced a partnership with Getty Images
in which specially selected users could submit photographs
for stock photography usage and receive payment.
In 2010,
this was changed so that users could label images
as suitable for stock use themselves.
