It is heartbreaking to see the chaos on Jakarta main streets today. A group of mass transportation drivers, especially conventional taxis, are united to protest against application-based services such as Uber, Grab, and Gojek. As if blocking the roads is not enough, they also do vandalism. They attacked not only Uber and Gojek drivers, but even worse: fellow taxi drivers that were still serving customers . Many evidence recorded in photos and amateur videos that has gone viral all over social media channels.  My heart sank especially for Blue Bird Group. The only taxi company that I used to trust and rely on. The only taxi company that my husband allows me to ride. The only taxi company that returned my sister’s IDR 2 million that was left on the back seat. The only taxi company that saved a bag full of souvenirs that my niece’s left on the luggage. The only taxi company that covered not only cost of treatment, but also send people to accompany patient in hopsital who get h...

Baru saja kemarin sore saya bertanya kepada dosen saya Bu Riani Josaphine Suhardja dalam kelas Personal Healing: “Bagaimana mengatasi rasa marah pada diri sendiri akibat marah pada anak?” Sebab seringkali saya merasa marah pada diri sendiri karena tidak dapat menguasai emosi saat marah pada anak padahal tahu itu tidak benar. Beliau menjawab dengan pengalaman pribadinya mengalami hal tersebut dan apa yang dilakukannya. Selain ilmu personal healing, kami dapat bonus ilmu parenting.

Dengan lembut saya membangunkannya, dan dengan penuh kesabaran membujuknya untuk segera bersiap-siap sekolah, tapi luar biasa susah. Bukannya mendengarkan perkataan saya untuk masuk kam...

Marina Bay Sands Treat for My Mom and My Sister (click the title above to see 80 photos of the trip) I have no regrets when I lost my late dad 3 years ago , as I know we’ve done our best to take care of him and believe that he has rest peacefully in heaven. But if there’s one thing I wish I could do better is: to take him travel more to see the bigger world. Too bad his health condition prevented us to do that. My parents are real hardworkers. They earn money and save every penny to make sure that their children get better education for a better life. As they both are senior high school graduates, they simply wished that at least we get diploma so that we don’t have to work in a restaurant for the rest of our lives (like my dad did). And we made their dream come true. Their first daughter Rina Kusuma is now taking scholarship for master degree in UK. Their middle daughter, i.e. myself Nuniek Tirta Sari is now taking master degree in Jakarta. And their last daugher L...
