Debriefing Edition: Quarter Life Crisis dan Kelas Inspirasi
[definition - The quarterlife crisis is a period of life following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the late teens to the early thirties, in which a person begins to feel doubtful about their own lives, brought on by the stress of becoming an adult.]
Ada masanya, ketika saya mendengar istilah yang didefinisikan di atas dan saya merasa tidak peduli, ada masanya ketika 'menjadi dewasa' adalah hanya satu bagian kalimat dari lagu yang dinyanyikan Sherina, dan ada masanya ketika saya menonton How I Met Your Mother dan berkomentar "naon sih?!". Ada masanya semua itu terjadi, dan sayangnya saat ini semua momen itu sudah lewat.
Dulu saat menonton HIMYM dan melihat adegan mereka duduk di kursi yang sama di bar yang sama selama bertahun-tahun, mengobrolkan pekerjaan, relationship, liburan, dan hal lainnya, saya akan berkomentar, "orang-orang ini kurang kerjaan banget deh nongkrong di tempat yang sama terus-terusan dan mengobrolkan hal yang kurang lebih sama" (hanya beda pelaku). Saat saya bilang 'dulu', itu maksudnya sekitar 5 tahun yang lalu. Sekarang, 5 tahun kemudian saya dan kawan-kawan, kurang lebih melakukan hal yang sama seperti Ted Mosby cs.

My Phone!
I am a reader of Vanity Fair online and one of the feature that I always read is My Phone. It shows a trivia Q&A from some technology and culture figure about their phone and how they use it, accompanied by a snapshot of their phone's home page. It's quite interesting to read and quite shocking to know what apps they're using.
Well, in You've Got Mail, Frank Navasky said about '20th century most profound truth': You are what you read!
Maybe, the 21st century version of that quote is: You are what your phone do. :P
So, here's my version of My Phone
Your phone?
Samsung Galaxy SII. Subsidized phone from office, buy it with half price and with flat installment :D
Ringtone?
Minion's version of Beach Boy's Barbara Ann: Banana Song!
Case?
No case, getting tired of case.
Background image?
A cup of my favourite black coffee (Toraja Kalosi) and paper napkin with sketch from Djournal Coffee Bar.
Last text?
To my landlady, telling her I forgot to put her catalog in my laundry bag.
Most used apps?
1. Twitter -- twit is the best!
2. Mail -- since I've transferred to my current division, checking email via phone is absolutely necessary.
3. Chrome -- because default android browser is sucks, and it has inter device access.
Most useful apps?
Evernote! From meeting minutes to list-to-do, from blogpost draft to song's lyrics. I'm taking notes everywhere with any device I own, eventhough I don't need to.
Total apps?
81 apps, but maybe just using 1/3 of it :P
Currently obsessed with?
Path, join it recently, and Nike+ apps because I'm in training for Bali Marathon 2013.
Last downloaded apps?
Nike+ running.
Text or call?
Call, I'm not the one paying my phone bill anyway :P
Twitter, facebook or path?
Twitter, the simplest the best!
Remaining battery at the time you finish answer it?
On charging, 18%. Charging it twice a day.
