Rave parties at Goa, India.

Goa adalah negara bagian terkecil dalam wilayah di India. Goa juga termasuk tujuan utama yg paling popular untuk turis diseluruh dunia yg gila party. The nightlife of Goa is really rocking and vibrant. Banyak banget acara rave trance parties yg diadain di Goa dan jadi favorite para turis diseluruh dunia.

Pertama kali rave party di Goa dimulai sekitar tahun 1960’an oleh para hippies. Semenjak itu makin lama popularitasnya meningkat hingga sekarang. The scene of rave party yg ada di Goa adalah kombinasi dari live dj atau band yg mainin psy-trance. Kebanyakan rave party diadain di outdoor pinggir pantai, tapi ada juga yg diadain di bar beach, hotel beach ataupun di dalam hutan. Rave party besar biasanya diadain waktu christmas dan new year. Tapi other raves juga selalu diadain kapan aja. All you need is money and mood for partying. Rave parties di Goa identik dengan drugs and alcohol. Goa adalah transit point untuk narkoba di India. Turis bisa mendapatkan drugs dengan mudah. Mungkin itu juga yg menjadi daya tarik para turis untuk mengunjungi Goa. Tapi tanpa rave party dan drugs pun kita bisa tetap menikmati indahnya pantai di Goa kok. So, tertarik buat masukin Goa di holiday list 2012 kamu? :)

Full moon party at Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand

Full moon party adalah all-night beach party yg diadain di pulau Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand dimalam sebelum atau sesudah setiap full moon. Acara ini dipenuhi oleh 10.000-30.000 orang dari seluruh dunia tiap bulannya. There is something for everyone there, dari mulai trance, techno, drum and bass, commercial dance sampai reggae. Juggler, fire eaters dan fireworks juga bakal entertain crowds dan bikin suasana party makin keren. Suasana di Pulau Koh Pha Ngan sendiri looks like heaven. Pastinya full moon party bakal jd hot destination gw di tahun 2012. Wanna join?

Quarter life crisis

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:11:00 -0500

Quarter life crisis. Pasti kalian sering banget mendengar kata-kata ini. Gw bahkan ga pernah tau kalo sebutan ini exist sampe gw ngerasain sendiri gimana pressurenya hidup bagi orang-orang yg berumur 20-something. Quarter life crisis sendiri means saat-saat dimana seseorang setelah lulus sekolah mulai ready to take on the world and expected to know what they want in order to do so. Some of them ngerasa depressed karena pressure dari outsiders, society, family and friends.

Pressure untuk memilih step awal yg menurut kita tepat sambil terus membandingkan diri kita dengan orang lain. Di saat-saat inilah biasanya kita juga sering kali merasa regret dengan pilihan-pilihan yg kita ambil semasa SMU atau kuliah. Berangan-angan andaikan bisa balik lagi ke jaman itu. Kita merasakan hal ini setelah kita mulai menyadari perbedaan pola pikir kita dengan pola pikir para remaja. Cara pandang kita juga ternyata udah sangat berbeda. Lalu kita juga jadi mulai sedikit iri melihat temen-temen yg udah lebih dulu married, punya anak, udah bisa beli rumah sendiri atau udah punya karir yg bagus.

Kebanyakan orang akan mulai terburu-buru untuk segera menikah, dikarenakan kita hidup di Indonesia dengan budaya yg setelah bekerja, umur 25 tahun, udah pasti dikejer-kejer orang tua untuk segera menikah. But as long as you’re happy dan lw emang pengen menikah, then good. I mean after all kita cuma pengen kebahagiaan kan. Menurut gw carilah apa yg benar-benar kita inginkan. Seperti kerjaan yg benar-benar kita enjoy buat ngejalaninnya. Daripada berkutat di kantor yg kita ga suka dengan segala tekanan dan tetap bertahan disana karena alasan secure. Unless ‘climbing the corporate ladder’ pada akhirnya bisa bikin kita happy itu lain cerita. That’s your choice.. once again, as long as you’re happy. Apapun yg kita kerjakan selama kita enjoy ngejalaninnya, gw yakin eventually akan membuahkan hasil yg bikin kita puas. Semua orang memang punya target-target penting dalam hidup. Tapi target-target tersebut ga harus dicapai dengan perasaan suffers juga kan. Kuncinya kenalilah diri kita sendiri dulu. Bentuklah diri kita menjadi apa yg kita mau. Hidup ini adalah proses pembelajaran dari pengalaman. “Always questioning, investigating, and wondering will serve you well.” (Kashdan).

Be ready to facing your quarter life crisis. Good luck.

BOOK REVIEW: ANTOLOGI RASA by: Ika Natassa

Tiga sahabat. Satu pertanyaan. What if in the person that you love, you find a best friend instead of a lover?

I borrowed this book from my friend about few weeks ago. She told me that she loves the author’s style of writing. Well, mungkin gw agak ketinggalan tentang pengarang lokal kita yg satu ini. Gw pecinta buku. Banget! Entah buku apa-apa yg ga penting pun asal nganggur pasti gw baca. But i’m not really a fan of our local author. Pengarang novel fav gw tetep Lauren Weisberger, yg bikin buku “The devil wears prada” dan “Everyone worth knowing”. It’s not because i don’t appreciate our local author, tapi lebih kepada preference gw aja yg merasa lebih seru untuk baca life style kehidupan diluar sana.

Akhirnya gw coba untuk membaca novel ini. Novel ini agak sedikit berbeda dari novel-novel lain yg pernah gw baca. Kita bener-bener bisa memahami isi dari novel ini karena kita membaca dari sudut pandang masing2 dari tiga karakter yg berbeda. Gw jadi tau banget perasaan kesel, sedih, seneng dari tiga karakter tersebut. Juga cara berinteraksi dengan masing-masing karakter. Semua yg ada disini jg real banget ngikutin gaya hidup jaman sekarang. Gak ada yg berlebihan atau dibuat-buat ala dongeng percintaan. Ada beberapa karakter yg bisa terlibat hubungan dengan lebih dari satu orang. I mean this is so real, right?! Manusiawi banget, kadang-kadang kita galau bingung milih antara si A dan si B :D Gaya bahasa yg dipake juga bener-bener ringan, menghibur sekaligus smart! Background tempat-tempat di dalam cerita juga real. Over all gw suka banget sama buku ini. I’m a new fan of Ika Natassa books! The book is simply fun, interesting and smart at the same time. I just love it! You girls should buy it!

Egisa’s comment: My fav movie of all time!! Buat kalian yg grew up di tahun 90an pasti familiar banget sama film yg satu ini. If you like a weird funny movie but also disturbing, then you will like Trainspotting. But the accents in it are kind of thick so you might have to watch some sections over a few times to get what they are saying. Ewan McGregor was super hot in this movie! C’mon it’s a Danny Boyle movie. There is must be a kool thing in it! ;)

MOD Style

Mod dari kata Modernist adalah trend, gaya hidup, style yg terkenal di London diakhir tahun 50’s sampai mid of 60’s. Elements dari mod include fashion (often tailor-made suits); music, including African American soul, Jamaican ska, British beat music, and R&B; and motor scooters. Anak-anak muda mods identik dengan party goers yg menghabiskan waktu mereka all night at clubs. Tapi yg mau gw bahas sekarang lebih focus ke mod fashion.

Male mods adopted a smooth, sophisticated look that emphasized tailor-made Italian suits (sometimes white) with narrow lapels, mohair clothes, thin ties, button-down collar shirts, wool or cashmere jumpers (crewneck or V-neck), and pointed-toe leather shoes.

They also wearing Fred Perry and Ben Sherman shirts, Sta-Prest trousers and Levi’s jeans. Some of them even not much, mixed with working class oriented such as suspenders and Dr. Martin boots. Yea, emang mirip sama skinheads style, but mereka tetep lebih prefer pointed-toe leather shoes.

Female mods always with short haircuts, men’s trousers or shirts (sometimes their boyfriend’s), flat shoes, and little makeup — often just pale foundation, brown eye shadow, white or pale lipstick and false eyelashes. Female mods love their miniskirts, which got progressively shorter between the early and mid-1960s.

Gw suka banget sama mod fashion for men. Karena terkesan bersih, dandy, unique, and vintage! Love it!

‘Jeigermeifter Photoworks’ is actually my own photoworks name. I’ll tell u next time where did i get the name.

Me. Who? Me?

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 12:49:00 -0400

Me. My name is Egi, tapi seringnya penulisannya gw rubah jadi Egy atau Eghie biar kerenan dikit. Walaupun sebenernya sama sekali ga ngaruh. Either Egee, Eghiey, Egiee or whatever, whatsoever and what… Okay… Okay… Enough mumbling…

Here is the thing, sebenarnya ini blog kedua or ketiga gw, i can’t remember. Gw harap blog ini ga gagal di tengah jalan seperti yg terdahulu. Alesan kerennya sih ‘internal problem’. Biar kedengerannya intelek dan bonafit-an dikit haha… agak ga penting emang, okay.. skip! Awal nulis blog ini gw nyari beberapa blog keren buat jadi bahan referensi gw sendiri, tapi akhirnya gw memutuskan untuk sama sekali ga membaca blog-blog tsb. Alasannya adalah karena gw takut ga sengaja jd ter-influence gaya tulisan orang lain, gw pengen punya gaya tulisan sendiri.

Gw suka nulis, dari SD gw selalu berusaha untuk membuat novel, yg ga pernah selesai pada akhirnya :D Gw suka bikin artikel-artikel tentang psychology dan asmara, and you know what, that was when i was 8 years old. Can you guys believe it? Betapa ketu-nya gw :)) I love drawing too. English and art are my fav subjects of all time.

Tiba-tiba mood gw berubah jd happy, coz i’m listening to one of my fav songs. ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ by: The Verve. Kalo gw dengerin lagu ini gw langsung berasa kayak di video clip atau di film-film :D which is seru karena tiba-tiba gw bisa berimajinasi macem-macem. Yep, cuma gara-gara sebuah lagu, kreatifitas alam bawah sadar gw bisa tiba-tiba muncul. I’m a Pisces anyway, full of creativity, imagination and hallucination. Yea i know, the last one it’s a bit scary. Anyway, sorry for a random paragraph.. it’s just so me! :D

Back to topic! Me. About me. Gw lahir di Jakarta 26 tahun yg lalu tepatnya 14th of March 1985. Yes, i hate being a pisces. I found myself too weird, random and super moody. Yes, I believe in horoscope thing and i do following a horoscope account on my twitter. I’m the only one child in my family and happy of it :D 4 yrs ago my mom married to a Swedish guy. He is really-really kool and i love him so much. Mom is kool too, she’s the best mom i’ve ever known. She’s smart, ambitious, and the one and only person that i can share almost about everything in my life. I’m very grateful for what i have. :)

I love traveling, i love party. Few years back lw ga akan pernah tau bisa nemuin gw dimana. Today lw bisa nemuin gw di negara ini, and the next day gw bisa ada di negara lain. But it was fun! Well, tapi seiring bertambahnya umur, dan gw berasa makin udzur, gw ngerasa harus focus sama one thing which is work. Tapi bukan berarti gw ga fun lagi. Gw masih bisa kok diajak traveling dadakan atau party after midnight ;)

What else about me? Ummm, i love cooking because i love to eat! Gw bener-bener pemuja makanan enak. Masakan andalan, segala jenis balado, dari mulai balado daging, udang, sampe balado teri. Intinya apapun yg berhubungan sama makanan lw tau harus ngajak siapa. Sampe waktu kecil gw bercita-cita punya suami Rudy Choirudin. Yg grew up di taun 90’an pasti tau who he is :D He was an Indonesian super chef at that time.

Well, because of i have so many random things in my head, so blog gw pun isinya bakal random. Gw bakal ceritain apa aja, dari mulai my traveling experiences, love story (teteup) and things that i like and don’t like. Anything! You guys just have to check my Tumblr regularly, and you will find some interesting posts to read. Thanks for reading ;)
