Spouses’ Privacy Setting
At that particular beautiful morning, I was sipping coffee and going through the newsfeed on my facebook. Luckily I didn’t spill my coffee after reading a friend’s and her husband’s statuses. They just celebrated their anniversary, and felt it was necessary to share it to the world. I don’t mind all that, because overshare and [...]

A dog who smiles whenever his owner is around has become an Internet superstar, as apparently more than 300,000 people have watched [...]
Hard To Say Goodbye
….. To our mobile provider. I have been Mrs. Maciphone since last year, and having so much fun using it. The first time I had it I didn’t really like it because it failed on basic mobile phone function, namely texting. It didn’t have a function to forward the message, let alone to copy and [...]
Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning: thorough cleaning, especially of a residence when winter is over. The first time I heard spring cleaning term was when I was working back in Indonesia.
