Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Smartphone and our lives

Android based - Smartphone or tablet are familiar in our lives now. People still keep in touch although thousands miles away apart. Many kind of applications that can connect us with other people, such as Line, WhatsApp, Kakao Talk, and many more. I know those applications offered by smartphone make us feel easy to do many things with our smartphone. The first time when I got my smartphone, I said “Sophisticated”.  Yeah that’s right! Sophisticated. I can do many things with my smartphone, I have all my teaching materials in it, I can surfing easily and faster, I can talk to other people by free phone using application, I can share my pictures easily using Instagram (since I like photography), if come to new places I can’t get lost or deceived by taxi driver because I have my GPS hehe. One day I got problem with my smartphone, it can not be turned on and it makes me frustrated. Why? Because I have class and my all materials teaching in smartphone.Ohh,, really I can’t live without my smartphone. My mom said that my smartphone and Sammy (my laptop) are half of myself haha. That’s true mom.

See, there are many things that smartphone can do, and of course help us. Give us many things that we can’t imagine before. the newest type will increase the capabilities. Of course, the developer will make it more and more sophisticated.

But there is something that maybe we forget. Maybe we’re getting excited with smartphone and forget that we are a human too. We’re human being, need to say “hi” to other people too. The real “hi”, not just say “hi” by phone. Maybe we can say hi by phone if we are living far each other. But what if we live in same place? I mean if we go to somewhere  together, we often play with smartphone rather than talking with friends. Sometimes we play on facebook, twitter, or others while going out with friend. Ok, let say, friend still have other things to do, but it’s pathetic when see family going out to eat and dad, mom, even kids play on their own smartphone. They weren't talk each other. They just talk with their own smartphone. So if I see those, I just see mom dad and kids out together, order foods, and play with smartphone while waiting. Doesn't look like family, just look like a man, a woman, and kids eat together in same table without knowing each other, or maybe "who are you?".  I mean, if family going out together, just make it become quality time with family. Maybe parents busy at work and kids busy at school, so they out and make a good time. But unfortunately, the gadget make them far away. They stay close, but far. If you know what I mean.

Smartphone hmmm something that we can’t avoid for now (actually for me hehe), but don’t forget that we are human being and we need to communicate with human and living being. It’s ok having smartphone that help us, just don’t let our smartphone take control our real life. Our lives too precious to taken over by technology.

*haha bahasa gueh*

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Pakai Debit Jenius di Luar Negeri

Amsterdam Central Station  Ini pertama kalinya pakai debit Jenius di luar negeri. Pemakaian ini menggunakan sumber dana EUR yang ada di aplikasi. Jadi uang yang keluar adalah uang EUR, bukan IDR.  Untuk buka rekening valas di Jenius, tinggal ditambahkan saja bagian buka akun valas lalu pilih kurs yang diinginkan. Di kasus ini gw punya rekening EUR di Jenius yang ditujukan untuk transaksi di Eropa.  Karena kemarin lagi di Belanda, akhirnya pengen coba pakai debit card Jenius karena EDC di Belanda belum tentu bisa untuk kartu kredit saja. Sebelum digunakan tentunya jangan lupa untuk menyambungkan kartu debit ke rekening mata uang asingnya biar sumber pengeluaran juga langsung dari tabungan valas itu. Tinggal klik klik aja kok. Tibalah saatnya menggunakan mata uang EUR yang sudah kubeli dari Jenius. Waktu itu gw pakainya di Schipol, di dua toko berbeda, dan keduanya nggak bisa tap langsung. Jadi harus insert kartu, tentu bukan masalah.  Karena terbiasa dengan transaksi...
