HOW TO FIGHT PROCRASTINATION

For procrastinators, there’s always today in another day. Raise your hands if you’re with me.

__

So, here are my ultimate few tips for fighting it. Hope it helps J

[] Plan your activities

Having a planner helps me a lot. And also, I do decorate mine. Plus, making a key color really helps you to organize which activities/plans that has to be prioritized. The point is, when you know what you have to do each days, you’ll be get ready to do it. E.g. on Wednesday, I need to deep clean my bathroom, so on Tuesday, you’ll buy some things you need for cleaning up, or sleep earlier. Tips from me, plan every the end of the week.

[] We don’t know what will happens tomorrow

THIS.IS.IMPORTANT. We don’t know what will happen next. It might be there’s important event we need to attend or any force majeur we can’t avoid even sudden bad situations. If your plans really really important, please do it now, do it that day. E.g. Today you have to booked a flight for next week, but you ended up booked it the next day and it was already sold.

[] Mom’s yelling

THIS.IS.THE.SECOND.IMPORTANT who wants to hear Mom’s grumblings? No one wants. Count me in!

[] Do it today!

“Just do it”

BIG BAD WOLF #2 JAKARTA 2017

Biblichor took me back to 1 year ago as I experienced the first great book sale. As for me, books are lifetime adventures. You can re-visit your most favorite places in a second, or run into your favorite persons forever. Because they kept all of our dreams inside. They kept all the distance near, they offer you great explorations all around the world, and they brought surreal and imaginary world right upon your eyes.

I'm so happy that I got a chance to be their VIP customer. This year, they gave VIP tickets for new members (you can register yourself through their website on their pre-sale date) or by sending your blog/vlog account to their email and they sort you. So, I took option 2 as I can't re-regist to their web :( too bad. But it's okay.

BBW held from April, 21st 2017 'til May, 2nd 2017 with total 280 hours non-stop! WOW! What a great offer, rite? They really serves bookworms well. They had Mrs. Susi, Indonesia's Marine Minister for the opening speech. 

Because I came too early here, I can't pass the main door until the ceremony end, so I took the side one. As I walked in, they surprised me with a lot of food trucks and grand kid's play area! I thought, "What an amazing improvement!" yes, they got it all to calm down your hunger and supply your kids boredom. This year's BBW took about 3-4 halls to support your demands.

Then, I headed towards the heaven! Booooks! I welcomed with the "sorting area" where people can sort out their books, or just take a rest for a while. Tho, BBW facilitate sorting area, but I don't know why people likes to sort their books here and there (oops, including me), maybe it's because of well, to save their time.

and, there was a lot of books.... boooks.... books....

Cheap imported books of course. Start from IDR 30k to about IDR 400k and also there's a lot of kids activity stuffs too!

Plus, you can find all your favorite genres of books! They have it all, ganks!

 This section is JOURNAL SECTION. Ultra cute journals! 

All genres of books got different color sections and tags. There's non fiction, fiction, romance, general, Young Adults, with sub-genre from References, Cookery, Design, Architecture, Science, Graphic Novels, Kids, and so on. The main genre hanged upon the ceiling, so people can find 'em easily. And the sub one, was on the 'table'. 

You can find various visitors from kids to adults.

One thing that disappoints me the most, was it's such a packed VIP PREVIEW SALE. We supposed to experienced the privilege to be the VIP holder. I thought, they should've distribute the limited tickets. Not everyone who registered could be the vip holder. I queued along the line to the cashier for 3 hours. Tho they got fast track, but it's only for Mandiri's customer or you can sign up for the credit card and get the facility. But I appreciated their fast action to apologies and covered up all the cashier queue mess the next day. So, we don't need to queue for hours. Yes, they still need to learn and discover customers demands and needs. But this year's improvement was highly appreciated.

GOOD JOB BBW TEAM! Can't wait to see you next year! Looking forward to it.

What Can Be Seen in NYC

NEW YORK! The big city where everyone dreams come true they said. Yes, I want to visit NYC too. I believe, one day I could!

Flatiron Building

Yeah, this iconic building in NYC :D I wonder how is it inside the building?
Because it’s seems so narrow from the outside.

Central Park

The biggest park in NYC! I could feel the breeze, the sound of birds chirping,
dogs barking, music on my iPod while I jog, or the traffic outside ;)

Times Square

The most photogenic street of NYC! And “after rains effect” make it perfecto!
I could imagined Iscreamed “Taxi!”.

Manhattan Harbour / Bridge

Best spot to take the Empire Building shot.

5^th Avenue

Let's shop shop shop til you drop drop drop!

Park Avenue

Just a nice street photography photo spot.

Bleecker Street

Uh oh! I remembered all those scenes in the movie. Where every house has
their own small stairs in front. Those pretty colorful plants and saying hello every morning.
