F.A.Q - Any Questions?

      Hello Everyone. I just realized: there are soo many questions (similar and different) submitted by all of you in the comment form, cbox, e-mail and SMS. And I also realized that I never answered (except via email and SMS). Gosh! How arrogant I am...

     I didn't mean to be arrogant. Seriously. I just confused to answer all of questions, coz some questions were private and I could not answer them, of course. hehehe. But finally, I decided to create a special post (or page) to answer many similar questions / Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

     Prepare a cup of tea or some snacks. Coz It's gonna be a very loooooong post!

Here we go!

Q:  You often write posts in english. why?

      Saya tidak bermaksud sok atau songong atau tidak cinta bahasa indonesia atau yang lain-lain lho. TIDAK SAMA SEKALI. Tapi yah, dengan menggunakan bahasa inggris, akan lebih banyak orang yang membaca blog ini (Maksudnya tidak sebatas orang indonesia saja). Walaupun sejauh ini teman-teman blogger saya yang berasal dari luar negri memang belum sampai ratusan (baru belasan blogger sih).

     Selain itu, saya sering menulis post dalam bahasa inggris karena saya suka pelajaran bahasa inggris dari SD, dan ingin menguasainya untuk suatu tujuan (masih rahasia). Jadi, dengan banyak2 menulis dalam bahasa inggris (walaupun kadang-kadang berantakan) saya berharap bahasa inggris saya semakin bagus. begitu...

Q: Why do you love owl?

     I don't know. I ever saw the owl character in Winnie The Pooh series, and Disney's comiks when I was in elementary school age and since that moment, I like it. Some years later, when I was in junior high school age, I randomly used "Owl_or_Aul" word in my friendster email/id (just because Owl=Awl=Aul sounds similar). Then, one of my classmate, Anne, called me owl. And until now, many friends often call me owl. And I thought, "Why don't I pick owl as my image?". That's why you see so many owl picsin this blog. Silly? :p

Q: How do you manage your blog?

     First, I'm not a full time blogger. I have many daily activities in the real life. So, I could not update this blog everyday. I try as often as possible. I use Toshibii-kun (my laptop) for blogging. sometimes on ICT in my campus, sometimes in internet cafe, etc.

     About the appearance, I try to design it by my self. Eventhough it's not too good, but I'm sure it's not bad too. hehehe. I don't want to buy domain coz I think my domain now is enough.The last one: I try to write all post originally by my hand. No copy paste. except some picture which I couldn't take by my self (I put the source, of course).

Q: How do you keep active on your blog during a long time?

     No. I'm not active on my blog sometimes (example: when I have examinations/tests, when I'm spending holiday somewhere, etc). But I see, some years in blogging (since September 2008) and still active ,was not easy. You know, many bloggers deleted their blogs because they were boring. And I tried hard  --seriously-- to not delete my blog because of the same reason. I hope I will never stop blogging. yay! #Spirit
