Lalu lintas Indonsia (src: asmarantaka.wordpress)

In my opinion safety riding contains two elements. There are physics and mental side. We can easily applied the physics side by using safety gear to protect ourselves but different on mental side. On mental side, I more likely to said attitude related to our emotion. It's bit hard to control. There always something that came up in the road makes our emotions unstable. For example sometimes we ignited to follow other motorist while they go fast passing on us. It seems like a challenge but absolutely not. We can harm others by our bad attitude. There also other factors like lack of concentration caused by thinking something while riding. Over confidence is one of the trigger. Include false calculation either in taking over or in a braking. Really maturity and respects to other fellow in the road totally needed.

We have to realize that life is priceless. We need to control our emotion while riding. It's not easy but possible. First just make yourself comfortable when begin to ride. Pray, then talk to yourself to stay patient whatever happen to you. Stop thinking other things then concentrate. It will need a process so don’t give up because actually good attitude is just a habit.

Believe that safe and comfort traffic is not a dream. That's possibility. Let's begin from ourselves then start to infect others to follow this proper attitude/safe attitude for a better traffic. Big things come from small beginning. Go! :D

Gamers which I’ve told above are just lost the essential of playing a video game. Video game is created to fulfill people’s need of entertainment. A video game should be fun even if there is a competition like in a soccer game and not to be opposed. You play video game to refresh your mind after all boring daily activities.  Moreover some gamer play for their passion means they’ll happy in playing.

It is fine we choose easy level in difficulties if we feel difficult in playing a video game. That’s why every video game completed with difficulty level you can choose. Games are present to entertain. Then if you feel bored cause can easily finish the game you may choose next level of difficulties like normal, hard or very hard.  The level increase is to challenge you in playing. But remember this challenge is purposed still to make you fun. Believe that the game is to have fun with you not to beat each other. Also if you’re in competition with your fellow, don’t be frustrated if lost. Just enjoy the time, enjoy the time while you play. Win and lost is usual. They’re the part of the game.



video game is fun :D

So from now stop play video game if you stress during play. Then begin to enjoy the time while playing. That’s a video game, comes to you to play together. It should be fun.

The bad condition of public transportation has made bike as the first choice of Indonesian to support their daily activities. Bike is easy and simple to ride. It can easily go through road congestion. Unfortunately some motorist forget to check their bike whereas a continually use will affect to the performance. A routine check is needed to make sure the bike is in a good condition and safe to ride. 

Here they are we have to consider before start riding. Daily bike checkpoint: 

check in these points before riding

Check out the basic equipment for a road bike such as rearview mirrors, headlamp as well as taillamp, and also the turn signals. Those parts are essentially required to help you while you’re not alone in the road. There are also companion such as cars, buses, or trucks. Then look into brake part, make sure the function is good. Brake is one of the important parts in the bike. This part will help you handle the bike and control your speed. Still in a handling area, we continue to the tires, check the pressure make sure it’s good, no more or less. If it’s less you’ll difficult to control as the bike will be heavier and be tricky to handle cause doesn’t have the right position for the tire and if it’s over your tire will be very hard and affect to your comfort. Don’t forget to check also the chain tension. It’s related to the acceleration and deceleration. Good tension will give smooth acceleration. And the last is the most crucial part, check your fuel. Go to a fuel pump if it’s indicated in a lower stage. You don’t want to run out of gas in the middle of your journey don’t you? 

Are you finished in check out your bike? Don’t forget to give yourself best protection by using safety gear. Last words enjoy your ride and happy riding! :D

Medal of Honor - The best FPS I've ever played


One thing that you'll get from MOH (Medal of Honor) series is the atmosphere of war. This FPS (First person shooter) game offers great environment. Sounds of blast, guns, voices of the soldiers, then nice graphics which shown hows cruel a battlefield is all just awesome. I really feel the atmosphere of war, while my adrenaline increased, feel afraid of the enemies, then to be very cautious. So exciting. This is include MOH series on the PSX/PsOne platform, the first time I played FPS genre.


I've also played others FPS, like Black and Counter Strike but the atmosphere is less. Actually I more like modern warfare rather than WWII storyline but the moderns are more stealth and silence. Unfortunately I've never played recent MOH series which is in a modern storyline. I bet that must be great.

This nutritious fruit can pause my hunger at least for 2 hours, from 12.00 to 14.00. That could be more cause actually my hunger still gone. But later on I decided to lunch cause my meal is ready then I don't want to take a risk for stomach ulcer.

According to facebook page of Graha Minerva this new bike called EX ROOD 150 and to be priced at IDR 14.9 million.

Looked on the machine, as we can see on the picture, EX ROOD 150 is used the same basis with R 150 vx machine just like been rumored before. From the design, headlamp, fuel tank, rear side, I say futuristic. Basically this design is characterized as a street bike/street fighter, interesting.

Street Fighter X Tekken -The euphoria


What will happen if the guy in Street Fighter meet up with Tekken fighter? that must be awesome!  


Since announced at Tokyo Game Show 2011 this game has become hot topic among fighting game fans. The attractive side of this game which will released on March 6, 2012 is not only for the crossover fighting scene with every single new contents but also located on the storyline both SF and Tekken of course. Both of the game are have a great background story among the characters. That's why either SF or Tekken has their own fans. Storyline is like a soul in a game. In this game both Tekken and SF are trapped in a world with pandora, a cubical object that crash-landed to Earth.
Now let's see the preview


Glad to know the fight scene is followed a Tekken, 3D. But how if we look deeply? the cartoon side is still there. I think this is from SF characteristic which is famous as great 2D fighting game. I would be more likely to say when Tekken trapped in SF world. We can see the environment, like graphics, letter like Fight and K.O, they're all SF style.

After graphic let move to the gameplay. According to the video I think the fighting scene is more adapted from Street Fighter. When there is sereval rounds and the both side has several characters fighting. They can also do a combination move by calling a friend like Ryu called Chun-li or Kazuya called Nina to finish showed in the video.

It's really a worth game to wait.

Naked bike will be a trend in 2012?

After KTM duke 200 and Pulsar 200 NS, others naked bike just wait to launch on 2012. One of them is a naked bike 150cc from Honda which rumored with a trellis frame. The rumor of this bike is already come up since the end of 2011. Some enthusiast thought this bike is produced to head with Yamaha V-ixion which has a great popularity last year. Seems like having preparation to face 2012 rivalries Minerva which characterized by build a faired sportbike has also rumored to launch a brand new naked bike for 250cc or 150cc. This rumor supported by a spy shoot on tmcblog

Honda VTR 250 supposed to be a model for new Honda 150cc sportbike

Look back at 2011 naked bike in Indonesia seems have a better place rather than faired bike. Looked on the practical side naked bike has a benefit to ride in a crowded traffic like Indonesia as well as the maintenance which is more easier. Just see on the market of New Mega Pro and Byson those bike have a place on two-wheels lovers. If Byson didn't have problem with the production I think that bike will give a nice strike to the competitor New Mega Pro. Moreover before those bike there are a lot of naked bike which has a great popularity both in performance and design. Those are Honda Tiger series, Yamaha Scorpio, V-ixion and Suzuki Thunder.We also still waiting for the release of brand new 250cc bike from Suzuki, GW250.

Suzuki GW250


As we can see in 2012, will be a lot of naked bike comes up. It seems like a trends or what? or maybe others manufacturers will follow to release another naked bike? let's see

adult black marsh turtle

Following the discussion on reptile forum some enthusiast said that a hybrid between RES and black marsh turtle is impossible. A requirements for a hybrid is on the same family at least.  
more about hybrid or cross breeding go to http://www.turtleforum.com/forum/upload/index.php?showtopic=108069

So, the case is almost done. If a hybrid is impossible, the egg by Anna's RES is something like empty fertilization.
