Click of The Week #34: A Word from Okky

Nice “Batik” design and neat layout are my first impressions about “A Word from Okky”. Okky Puspa Madasari, a female journalist and the owner of the blog. She uses it as a medium to express her opinion on the many things that happen in her life.

Her interests are basically things that are familiar for us – about poverty, peace, nature, culture, and human being. However, the way she frames her views gives the reader a different approach to the subject.

Goodbye Simon Jones…

Our deepest condolences go out to the families and friends of Simon Jones, one of Metro TV’s English editors. As a colleague, Simon was well known to be extremely helpful. As a friend, he was always very funny and a nice person to talk to.

May you rest in peace, Simon Jones. You’ll be greatly missed.

Maverick went cooking in Jak TV

Cooking live on TV? why not! It’s even more fun…

Last week, five Mavericks: Shilla, Nancy, Riri, D and I were invited to be the guest (stars ) in Jak TV cooking program, Sendok Garpu. A one-hour cooking program hosted by Rinrin*, a newcomer host in Sendok Garpu, turned out to be a great experience for Mavericks. Aside from late schedule that was first set up at 9 pm to 10 pm, it could only end at 11 pm, fortunately, the rest of the taping process was full with big laughter, jokes and great chat.

Rinrin led the show in casual, communicative and fun way, and the born talented Mavericks, acted so natural, as if it wasn’t a show at all. Rinrin prepared for us breakfast set which consist of bruschetta, apple truffle, and magenta juice… all yummy!!

After the show, Jak TV handed us goodie bags and a parcel of food & beverages as a token of appreciation. Surely, we want to do it again. Jak TV, we look forward to your other invitation…as guest star The show will be aired sometime in the next three weeks after the taping, hopefully by then it will be accessible in Youtube.
