gue aja buka2 penasaran aja abis nicknya so simple just matt gitu. Eh ternyata bener you're "ABC-esque"

so far on this forum gue cuman pernah liat loe and timide who actually grew up away from indo. Too bad I haven't heard from him fro years now dulu hampir gue undang ke ultah 21st bday gue pas gue di jakarta, but something came up jadi ngga pernah ketemuan deh....

that's probably the case, but then again you're the one who can choose you're own audience by setting the tone.
there are other ways to get more responses as well such as posting your sexy pic here

uhm, posting secara teratur, jadi pembaca tetap berdatangan ^^ yup posting foto2 matt yang seksi juga dah cukup menarik pengunjung, soal ngasih feedback.. humm implied ke hino ndiri, gua pikir matt udah dewasa. dan permasalahan yang matt tuangkan, kebanyakan akan matt jawab ndiri. isinya bernada pernyataan gitu ^^ misalnya soal bertahan dan bekerja di kota kecil gitu.. hehe dipikir2 matt sendiri udah ada pilihan ndiri menimbang untuk jangka panjangnya ^^

tetep posting aja, segment blog pasti gua ikutin kok, tapi emank jarang posting..

terus memantau ... hehehe

Ah, yea mungkin juga... ga terlalu terpikir oleh gw, apalagi kesannya sekarang di Indonesia orang2 sudah sangat percaya diri dengan bahasa Inggris: iklan bahasa Inggris di mana2, siaran Tv bahasa Inggris, majalah bahasa Inggris, section buku Inggris di toko buku makin besar, etc.

Gw kayaknya bukan ABC lah (atau CBC kalau di sini), pola pikir gw masih belum white washed, walaupun mungkin ga se-rigid pola pikir Timur.

Yea, I exchanged a few messages and emails with him many years ago, and the he just disappeared, not sure where he is right now.
How are things with you and Andrew?

Oi Om, kampungnya bukan di Toronto, Tapi di Jakarta, hehe...

Gw ga tinggal di Toronto; kalo gw di sana mungkin gw ga bakalan komplain kali ya, gw pernah kerja di sana hampir 1 tahun and gw cukup happy di sana. Musim dinginnay lumayan dingin tapi ga sedingin di sini, di Northern Ontario =(

Haha, Spadina ama Queen, naik dikit lagi sampe China town donk ya...
Sayang banget tempat lo udah lo jual, coba lo tahan sampai beberapa tahun terakhir, bisa untung gede tuh.

Gw merasa lebih di-appreciate, lebih dihargai, jauh lebih diinginkan di sana, daripada di kota kecil yang dinginnya udah lebih dingin daripada freezer tempat simpan daging (kadang gw bingung kok orang (termasuk gw) GOBLOKKK sekali mau menyiksa diri tinggal dalam peti es).
Gw juga merasa lebih mendapatkan kemudahan di Jakarta, and merasa potensi gw bisa lebih berkembang di sana daripada di sini.

Kapok gue ... gue dah jual .... Gue di spadina dan queen .. ngga jauh jau amat dr kampus .... pojokan nya Mac D ... hehehehehehe

Matt

hm...ttg knp threadnya bnyk yg liat tapi dikit yg post...
(mikir lebih dari 5 mnt dengan tangan di atas keyboard, tapi gk nemu jawabnya juga...) mgkn kurang sering diupdate jg matt? just maybe?[/b]

Matt

Ah yea, I guess, but then what's the point of changing myself simply just to get more responses, especially if the responses are just plain no brainers?? I'm sure there are plenty of people out here with tons of experiences, knowledge, and I just simply hope to tap some of their wisdom. Or perhaps, sometime support and encouragement.
Oh well, perhaps someday when I;m desperate enough for some responses I'll upload few of my scandalous pics, hahaha...
