Can you tell which one I am?
Some friends said I am not cute anymore. Sigh. Are they serious? I don’t think people could lose their kiddo-cuteness once they grow older, couldn’t they? Let me ponder then, why did some FIVE people just tell me that I look completely different today, compare to that “cute little” girl, they said. Are they serious? Sigh.
I was singing for a radio show with some friends [in the picture]. I was 5 and looked fine 
“I’m addressing you
Are you going to let our emotional life be run by Newsweek Magazine?
I’m obsessed by Newsweek Magazine
I read it every week.”
Oops, did I just mess Ginsberg’s America up? I am sorry, Allen, that’s just how I feel about Newsweek, I have been reading it for years. When I went to a bookstore, I mostly checked Newsweek and Time. I don’t know, despite what some people might say about Newsweek that it’s being a bit sensational, I always got reasons to buy it.
It is obvious that I am a fan of Fareed Zakaria. Remembering that he’s one of the International editors sitting in Newsweek’s newsroom, editing stuff and writing columns, making me trust Newsweek. Of course, the credits did not go to Zakaria alone, just mostly.
Hence, it’s very sad to read Zakaria is leaving Newsweek for Time. I’ve been a loyal reader to Newsweek because of him. It was him that making me screened each page of both Newsweek and Time, before deciding, “still Newsweek, this week!” There were times when I ended up buying Time, but that was because they really got totally different and better stuff.
I SORT of felt like a hero two days ago, after, literally, revealing truth and saving the face of Indonesian glorious media. Well, not to a big audience tho, just to a taxi driver who was a hundred percent sure that the Indonesian National Police Chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri has just committed suicide.
What? You ask did the National Police Chief actually commit suicide? Of course not. He just went missing somewhere nobody knows healing his gastro problem as claimed by his spokesman [finally today he showed up, tho!]. And there, what I meant by revealing truth. Plus, yes, saving the face of Indonesian glorious media!
A bit blur this one. Not a good pic I took. Try to see one below!
A clearer one, but accidentally cut one word: DIRI.

I FEEL so small reading Philip Shenon’s reportage on the moves took by the Obama administration to crack down on WikiLeaks, related to some 70,000 documents on Afghan war they released recently.
It’s not Shenon’s piece that impressed me [although, of course, I still give him my highest respect for securing an exclusive headline], it’s the ‘actor’ in the Shenon’s article.
He is Julian Assange, an Australian-born journalist/programmer, editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks who is now believed to be in a big trouble because of the leaks he spread. Assange has been described as someone who doesn’t actually have a real home and that he travels and stays at friends or supporters’ houses around the globe.
MY DEAREST friend Irene once told me that she would never give birth to “another monster to this world.”
What she meant by another monster is: a baby, a child, girl or boy, who consumes water, air, electricity, uses tissues, chops tress, pollutes air and drinks gas from its tanks. “If I really want one, someday, I think I will just adopt him/her. Earth cannot bear for another monster,” she said.
By any reasons, environmental, psychological, or financial, women such as Irene — a 29 year-old single lady who doesn’t really think of kids, marriage, and family — is growing in this developing country of Indonesia. Intelligent women today [raised with good education], mostly those in big cities, do not want to surrender their twenties to some husbands. They want to pursue careers, enjoy lives, and explore the world.
This is the official blog of Anita Rachman [the glasses girl — not the famous former Indonesian anchor]. She writes mostly her personal thoughts on either the 2000-and-late or 3000-and-eight issues, and she surely welcomes discussions and arguments from readers. She hopes you enjoy reading her stories.
