Gaptek Twitter, Mas, Mba?

Sebel banget! Kenapa sih orang Indonesia kalau ngereply Twitter itu bukannya pakai Reply to, tapi malah pakai RT, yang notabenenya singkatan dari ReTweet? Kenapa gua tekanin orang Indonesia di sini? Karena dari sekian orang 'luar' yang gua follow, nggak ada tuh yang menjengkolkan kayak gini.

Jangan gaptek dong! Kalau alesannya biar ngga bingung lo ngereply tweet yang mana, coba baca bawahnya, "about 2 minutes ago from web in reply to xxxxx". Nah, lo klik yang gua underscore-dan-bold-in, itu adalah direct link ke tweet yang lo reply.

Puh-leeeze.. dengan nge-RT itu tweet lo jadi masuk ke home orang lain dan sumpah ganggu banget! Beda kalo lo pake Reply to, di awal tweet lo akan ada "@xxxxx", dan tweet itu hanya akan masuk ke user yang bersangkutan. Dan bukannya pake RT lo malah akan ngebuang-buang 140 karakter itu untuk karakter R, T, titik dua, dan space ya? Menurut gua sih RT digunakan kalau lo ingin meng-tweet kembali tweet user lain yang lo anggap bagus atau layak untuk dire-tweet ke khalayak ramai, misalnya.

Asli, gua keganggu luar biasa sama yang kayak ginian. Dan gua bukan tipe orang yang pengen tau apa yang lo omongin sama orang lain. Terus terang gua udah nge-unfollow beberapa orang yang tadinya gua follow gara-gara RT ini. Merasa ngga enak hati, ya. Tapi hak gua toh? Demi kesehatan gua juga, karena tiap ngeliat home gua jadi chatting windows orang dengan orang lain yang tidak gua kenal, lebih baik gua unfollow yang bersangkutan.

Untuk Twitter user, setuju ngga setuju sama omongan gua, merasa tersindir atau tidak, silahkan vomitting dicomment. Gua ngga puasa. Boleh dong dongkol di siang hari?

"OMG She's Alive!!"

Yeaaaaahhhh go ahead and say it. I've been a bad...... BAD blogger lately.

People, if you want a deep dark secret and drama, I have a double dose for you today. This shameless exposure of my life is my attempt at dealing with it.

So, I went to Sg last week. I spent my days with family and met my other half there. And then something happened. Something not good. Here, I announce, I'm no longer Igor's girlfriend anymore. It didn't happen because there was someone else. It happened because we simply can't relate to each other anymore - we have grown up in a lot of ways and there are a lot of things that I don't get about him anymore *and vice versa*. We had a talk about this earlier in the year and we said we would work on things. We tried, but realized that we did not care enough anymore to keep trying. Sooo.. we need to stop calling our relationship something that it's not.

Our main concern is our friendship. It hurts like hell to think we will inevitably cause issues in our lives with this, but if it weren't this, we'd probably end up hurting/hating each other. We want to prevent more severe pain.

Let's be positive though.. we've learned many things together. And if we can openly accept this break up for what it is, then I think the pressure will be off.. there won't be as many expectations and it won't hurt so much :)
