Judul Foto  : “Masih Butuh Wartel ?”
Foto oleh  : Maxwell Budi Dharma
Kategori  : Umum
Foto ini menceritakan seorang wanita yang sedang melakukan komunikasi selular di depan sebuah wartel. Entah apakah di zaman sekarang ini wartel masih dibutuhkan atau tidak, tapi sepertinya berkomunikasi dengan teknologi selular telah menjadi solusi yang lebih cepat, praktis, mudah dan mungkin lebih murah (dengan adanya fitur SMS) dibandingkan berkomunikasi melalui wartel.

Almost there...

I never realize that it has been over a year since I started to do regular exercise to "fix" my weight. I manage to "recycle" about 20 kilos improve my fitness level.

It feels much lighter when to jump during my badminton session and much faster and more agile when to dive-save during my goalkeeping exercise.

I still have about 5 kilos more to reach the apropriate balance. It's getting tough to go down the weight but full of spirit and joy as I almost there...

Target : End of September 2006.

Love Review

For a while, i feel low as low as the ground. I feel sad, because a life needs to change, a heart needs to mend, a mind needs to flash.
I hate I must go back to where I had started.
The time has been wasted, energy has been wasted, money has been wasted. I am sure there are other things that I have wasted.
Somehow, I then realize that those tough time, are something that I have prepared of. I know this thing must happen if not the other side would.
I feel glad and happy because I had the chance to love and be loved, once. I am happy, that I can experience how love can change the way you act, the way you speak, the way you think. It feels really fantastic when love is answered, and all you have to do is to share. When you have nothing to share, then it probably means you have stopped answering to that love.
Well, that have become the past now and that have to pass by and so have life. Those bad memories, I will forget. Those good ones, I will surely remember, for once, love truly happen in my life.
Tomorrow, I will jump to the ground again and enjoy the sun as usual, hopefully, if sooner rather than later, another great love can be found....

Remembering Where I Come From

For whatever things achieved and proud of today, I realize it all happens not because of my single ability. There were times so far that I can remember, where people came on a very defining moment, offered big hands and gave me a breath where I start to lose the air. Now, the air have been great. Those hard times, I will always remember, as one of memorable moments to appreciate and give thanks.
I wish to thank you for everybody who help me in the past. I wouldn't be what I am now if you weren't there to lift me up.

The Meaning Of Names

I was directed into this website incidently when browsing thru photography sites.
If you have any chance pls check out this link http://baby-names.adoption.com/
Pls forget the "baby" word for a while. In that website you can check the meaning of your name. The meaning of name ???  Yes, the meaning of name.
For example, the name George, means "farmer" or "to work the earth"
The name Audrey, means "noble heart".
My name (Maxwell) itself means "great well".
The other information listed in the website are the nation origin of the name as well as the similar name.
You know, having read that information, makes me feel more grateful to my parents for giving such beautiful and meaningful name.
So what is yours ?

Daiso

Last Sunday, I went to a new established mall in the downtown. The design is quite amazing with lots of big statue and traditional ornament. There are some with Greek art, Chinese, and Persian.
Suddenly something caught my attention when I heard a man shouting very loudly. You know, it is unusual shouting inside a big mall. As I look closer at the man, he is an Indonesian, I can see from his name tag. But he was shouting in Japanesse which I could not write down here because I don't understand Japanesse. But I think he tried to say, "Hello everyone, pls come to Daiso shop, everything is sold in the same price".
Yes, the name of the shop is Daiso, it sales any kind of household appliances, office stationary and also snacks, all are originally imported from Japan, written on the shop banner. Inside the shop, I can see that the Japanesse seems to love "small" stuff. I see a lot of household appliances which is relatively smaller than those made by Indonesians. I see small fork, small broom, small plate, almost everything sold is in small size. The design is also quite simple and straight, not too much art here and there. I guess Japanesse are minimalist and love simple things....who knows, that's just a five minutes impression.
The promotional staff inside the shop also shouting in Japanesse, but the funny things is they are all shouting the same sentence, over and over. I guess that is the only Japanesse sentence they know. I bet if a real Japanesse do come over and ask for assistance, they will probably don't know what to say and look like a fool.....huahahahaha.....

Video Games Evolution

First of all, i wanna tell to any adults in the world, pls don't be shy that you love video games. Today's video games can no longer be associated with kids or teens. There are so much video games today which is quite serious and not supposed to be played by kids.
Personally, I love video games because I can pretend myself as the boss, the king, the owner, the strongest, the tycoon or whatever the games is all about. I can shoot people between the eye without feel bad, I can command a troops to do an ambush, I can drive my car to 400mph, I can fly a F117 stealth bomber !!!
On the other part, you can start to admire the graphics, animation, and even feel the environment with the surround sound audio clarity. Today's video games is an amazing piece of art. For my reference check out this
Half Life 2 and this Age Of Empires III and you perhaps will get the idea.
And this enjoyment somehow is disturbed when I look on the net, the coverage of E3 (the biggest video games international expo, i think). A lot of video games booth showed their products and technology. But somehow i was wondering of why they were so much bother to provide lots of "teasing" inviduals as their promotional staff. Of course I am a man and still normal and understand the intention to attract as much audience as possible to their booth. I mean, most people probably came by here with their son and daughter. Do people take their kids to watch this? I think the show management needs to put PG-13 in the tickets lobby......:)
Can't they just provide a nice decent lady who speak good and decent english, who understand and knowlegable about the games, which can impress the audience to buy the video games? 
Anyway, if you don't get what i am talking, checkout this link : E3 Girls
