Gerakan Bawah Tanah - Mr. GBT

In my other blog, I wrote something about my time management which is based on urgency. Not the best approach, but the most appropriate for me. One of the reasons I picked that one is because I have too many things to do. Many people would not believe me if I tell them that I am a multi-tasking person. I love doing many things at once. People will say that this is bad. I know. But, this is me. If I do one thing only, I would get bored. Then what? I am not productive. (Although this is debatable.) I realize that I have too many things to do. I am not complaining. I am just acknowledging that fact. It is bad. I am trying to make it better, but in my own way. In ways that I enjoy doing it. Now, that's something that I have to learn myself. (Although I am trying to learn by reading many books.)

Some of you may know that I have a YouTube channel. It's here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3S4LLQIPK1TT5S2LmieCYg When I started the channel, it was like starting this blog. To share what I know and to challenge myself to be creative. I still do it in two ways; with writing (this blog) and with video (YouTube channel). Before, it was difficult to do the video part because technology was not there yet. Now, it is simple and inexpensive. It was like creating a "homepage" - that was the web site called long time ago - using HTML and blogging using tools that were provide. Now, the challenge is the content. I love numbers, so I like watching how my YouTube channel grows. It was like watching this blog grew. I don't like doing artificial growth. I just watch them grow. Here is what the status of my YouTube channel right now. It is going to hit 5000. A new milestone.   When I said I love numbers, I mean it. When I was a kid, I would watch cars passed on the street in ...

Pusing juga kalau punya singkatan yang sekarang digunakan untuk singkatan lain yang konotasinya negatif. Saya berbicara tentang "GBT", yang jadi nama blog ini. Selain nama blog ini, saya juga menggunakan GBT sebagai "Mr. GBT" dalam proyek musik yang saya lakukan. GBT berasal dari singkatan "Gerakan Bawah Tanah". Kalau diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris adalah "underground movement". Serem dengernya ya. Cerita dari nama ini cukup panjang. Lain kalai ceritanya. Yang ingin saya angkat adalah penggunaan singkatan "GBT" yang konotasinya negatif dalam "LGBT". Saat ini LGBT adalah singkat untuk "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender". Waaa. Jauh berbeda dengan singkatan yang saya gunakan. Jadi bagaimana ya? hi hi hi

If you want to know, gemstone currently is very popular in Indonesia. I repeat, VERY POPULAR . There, I shouted. At least, this is true in Bandung. Everywhere you see, there's gemstone. Even on the sidewalk, people just open their own gemstone "store" or "boot". ("Lapak", in Bahasa Indonesia.) I believe, now the gift from Indonesia is "batu akik", the Indonesian's name for gemstone. To be frankly, I have no idea why gemstone is this popular right now. I've seen people wearing rings with gemstone from as far as I can remember. But, those days, they were not this popular. What causes this popularity?

There is a classic reason why I have not updated this blog, busy. Yes, I've been too busy with many things. No, really, I am not trying to make excuses. I am truly, really, busy. Sometimes, I wonder why other people seem to be relaxed. Nothing to do. But, then again I could be wrong. They might be busier than I am. Although, I doubt that. I know that there are people who are as busy as I am, and some are busier, but most people have simple things to do. Being busy is a choice. I cannot blame others but myself for being too busy. So, I guess, I should enjoy being busy. This is a good problem. Meanwhile, I should find time to blog again.

Tried to open gplus. Few minutes passed by. Items were shown on the screen, but I couldn't type anything. Another minutes passed by. More items. Still couldn't type. Finally, I gave up. The above story is not an isolated event. I just happen to me almost all the time. Why would I post anything to gplus? I could do that on Facebook or Twitter. -- diary of a " fakirbandwidth "  (Indonesian: meaning, a person lack of bandwidth)
