How About MyTVOptions.com?

Watching television is my favorite. However, sometime the monotony broadcast from any channel make me bored. Some channel often broadcast the same program on the same time. And I just shut down the television and watching video.

But one of my friends suggested me to try direct TV. I am interesting, and try to search that provider in internet. And then, I find one cable and satellite TV provider, the name is MyTVOptions.com.

When I read the information about that provider, not only on my state, Los Angeles, I also see that these providers also provide direct TV to all states of USA. Direct TV NY and Direct TV FL are just two examples of the services provided, we only need to choose a location and we will get satellite TV service quality. Not only local channel, but also channel from other country.

Perhaps many people do not know how about the profit of DirecTV. Compared to other television, direct-TV has its own advantages. We are free to choose what program that we want to watch. The program also has high quality and gives much information. All excess are comparable to the fees that we pay each month.

Therefore I want to subscribe. But I still do not make a choice. I still need a advice about the television provider, maybe some of you have tried MyTVOptions.com and is there something that make you disappointed to this provider.

Thanks

Menyiasati Kesalahan Nama Pada Paypal

Kalau mau jadi blogger matre, hal pertama yang harus dimiliki adalah penampungan kekayaan. Bisa dengan Paypal, yah sampai saat ini baru tahu itu saja sih. Istilahnya seperti akun rekening bank online di internet. Jadi ilustrasinya seperti mengambil air, kita harus punya sedikitnya gelas untuk menampungnya, jadi ketika dolar bermuncratan, mereka akan tahu kemana akan mendarat *bahasanya*

Bikin paypal mudah, cuma perlu alamat email dan nama. Untuk akun personal, kita hanya perlu mengisi data diri dan alamat lengkap serta nomer telepon. Namun di beberapa kasus kadang ada yang format nomer telponnya bermasalah. Format nomer telpon untuk Negara Indonesia yang benar itu diawali dengan +62, namun kadang jika kita masukin nomer 081 bisa diterima.



Beberapa data seperti nomer telpon, alamat, pasword bisa kita ubah. Tetapi ingat, bagi yang mau bikin paypal, satu hal yang tidak boleh salah. Itu adalah nama, terutamanya nama belakang. Bahkan kelebihan nulis hurup "N" saja ga boleh. Nama ini penting, karena saat kita mecahin isi paypal ke rekening bank, nama penerima akan dicocokan dengan nama paypal. Kalau ada perbedaan maka akan kena biaya 50rebu. lumayan mah 50 rebu, bisa beli es batu sekulkas. hahah...

cuman mau sharing aja, kalau sudah ada yang tahu jangan mencela *awas tak jitak.
Kalau kalian salah nama, kalian mending buat akun paypal dengan email baru karena nama tidak bisa diedit *sudah aku cuba. Namun seperti si Ny jelek, membuat account dengan email baru kadang tidak menyenangkan. Kita sudah punya satu alamat email yang selalu kita pakai, membuat account dengan email baru bisa jadi seperti mengurus suami dua *satu aja ga punya :P

Nah, jika kalian ingin tetap memakai email yang sebelumnya sudah salah nama, kalian bisa menyiasatinya. caranya, kalian bisa menambahkan acount email lain di profile, add/edit email. Add email dan verifikasi alamat email akan dikirim ke email yang baru. Klik linknya, jika ada suruhan login lagi ke paypal kalian tinggal masukin pasword.

Setelah proses verifikasi email berhasil, setelah itu balik lagi ke paypal, ke add/edit email. Akan ada list daftar email kalian, pindahkan primary ke email yang baru dimasukan tadi, lalu email kita yang sebenarnya diremove.

Nah, setelah itu email kita yang sebenarnya sudah bisa didaftarkan untuk account paypal baru.

Become A Smart Online Shopper

Shopping is a fun activity. Every day we spend our money with buy anything that we need, and for these things we work and get money.

I like shopping, but never try to online shopping. Many people say if online shopping is safety, of course trusted. So it's not bad if I try.

But to choose an online shop is not an easy think. There are many things to consider. Besides on pricing, other criteria to judge is the online shop must be placed on the professional’s site hosting service provider, not in service - a free hosting service that we often met on the internet. By placing the site on a professional hosting service, at least we can assess the seriousness of the site manager for an online business. That is a trusted online shop.

And now I find one of new online shop. One big site that provides much stuff that I need. More than 10 categories of products are provided, with completely various items and affordable prices. I rarely can find Jessica Simpson Clancey Boots in the online shop which also sells samsung lcd tv. Usually, I just find television, electronic goods and accessories.

That is one enjoy of shopping at a big shop. All the stuff available on one place, and practically we can also save money on postage. For example, if we buy a large size of bedroom vanity, a timex ironman watch will not add shipping costs for us, different if we buy that watch in other shop.

This online shop also provides buyers guide and product reviews, would not that indicate if the store wanted to tell you what kind of products that would you buy? Sellers rarely provide complete information about the goods that they sell, and if they do it, that means the seller can be trusted. If you want to prove it, you can visit and also choose your own stuff in Become.com.

happy shopping and lets become a smart online shopper

Akkadia - Review

Okeh, setelah prareview tempo hari, sesuai janji yang ditagihin, tadi malam baru sempat nulis review untuk buku ini. Bacanya sendiri lama, hampir dua mingguan. Review ini tidak diikutkan pada sayembara review yang berakhir pada 14 februari nanti, namun sebagai ungkapan terimakasih karena sudah diberikan tanda tangan gratis.

Akkadia, membaca buku ini harus dilakukan saat kepala sedang lowong dan kondisi rileks, karena novel fantasy ini lebih berat daripada buku fantasy local yang pernah aku baca. Pembukaan bab, kita akan diberikan semacam resume singkat mengenai sejarah peperangan serta latar belakang terjadinya sebuah alur cerita yang sedang terjadi saat itu, yang disisipkan penulisnya lewat dialog antara salah satu tokoh utama dengan karakter makhluk kegelapan.

Padat dan sarat info, kalau bagian ini tidak dibaca dan diingat, maka selamat berbingung-bingung ria. Menurutku pribadi, cara Villam mengawali bab pertama sangat berat, meletakan informasi latar belakang di bab awal bisa mengurangi efek misterisasi sebuah novel, dan iyah, karena informasi disajikan di awal sangat lengkap, untuk kebelakang pembaca hanya perlu mengikuti saja.

Sebagai ahli fantasy medieval atau Fantasy perang-perangan (Urgh.. aku ga suka cerita perang-perangan), villam tahu bagaimana teknik bertempur. Pertempuran satu lawan satu dihadirkan dengan detail yang lengkap, yang secara pribadi banyak aku lewatkan karena pertama aku tidak suka perang, kedua, bagiku adegan berperang baru akan menegangkan jika dihadirkan dalam bentuk film dan aku tidak terlalu suka perang-perangan. Jika membaca, otak terlalu sibuk mencerna setiap gerakan dalam pertempuran.

Berbicara mengenai alur, aku salut sama Villam. Pelajaran outline dan perencanaan kerangka tulisan, benar-benar diterapkannya dalam buku ini. Alurnya rapi, teratur dan menjadi satu kesatuan. Seakan kita menghanyutkan baju di satu sudut sungai, lalu kita pergi ke muara sungai dekat laut dan kita ketemu lagi baju itu. Apa yang dihadirkan di awal, benar-benar ada hubungannya dengan adegan yang akan muncul selanjutnya. Tidak ada adegan yang tidak bertujuan, semuanya punya peran di ending cerita. Dan walaupun tidak begitu terkejut dengan baju yang bertemu di muara sungai itu, namun kepastian bahwa baju itu sampai disana, cepat atau lambat benar-benar aku acungi jempol. Semua complicated namun terstruktur. Kira-kira kerangka tulisan ini disusun selama berapa tahun ya?

Karakter. Yah, mahap kalau menurutku bagian ini masih kurang kuat. Kebanyakan karakter-karakter tokohnya disebut secara explicit, padahal menurutku penunjukan karakter dengan cara seperti ini membuat tulisan jadi menjemukan. Tidak terlalu konsisten jadi karakternya tidak hidup dan tidak membekas di ingatan. (untuk pembangunan karakter aku masih salut sama clara). Tambahan, ada beberapa karakter yang tidak logis, seperti sosok Naia yang seorang raja sebuah Negara yang dihancurkan lalu menjadi buronan tokoh natagonis selama tiga bulan. Karakter seperti itu harusnya kuat dan kokoh, tidak mungkin membiarkan dirinya terlihat menangis dan cengeng didepan pengawal pribadinya.

Sudut pandang. Orang ketiga, namun unlimited karena penulis banyak menjelaskan tentang pikiran karakternya. Aku lebih suka POV yang limited, terbatas, walaupun penulis tahu tetapi tidak gembar gembor, biar misterius gituh. Selain itu penjabaran yang berlebihan bisa menimbulkan resiko ketidakkosistendian sebuah karakter *buset, bahasanya boo*

Tapi intinya, aku salut sama Villam karena sudah mampu menulis cerita ‘sependek’ ini, dengan beribu-ribu kali revisi dan penolakan. Ini untuk pertama kalinya aku baca buku dan kaget karena ternyata halaman yang terbaca baru seperempatnya. Penerbit benar-benar mensiasati biar buku ini muat dengan harga dibawah lima puluh ribu, padahal buku-buku fantasy semacam ini harganya relative mahal karena tebal dan panjang.

Aku sudah sebut diatas, aku tidak terlalu suka fantasy medieval, tapi aku cukup menikmati saat membaca buku ini terutama di seperempat bagian belakangnya. Semua pendapat diatas pribadi, berasal dari pemikiran kolotku yang murni seorang pembaca dengan teori penulis *halah*. Semoga penggemar Villam di FFDN tidak memberondongiku dengan sanggahan ini itu, karena aku juga ga akan bisa jawab.

And at least, aku akan sangat senang jika Hikayat Orang Utara, forgotten heroes, atau Batu Delima Terakhir juga ada versi cetaknya *spoiler* Jadi… hahaha… salamm buat ramir

Perubahan dan Kehilangan

Kata orang, sesuatu yang kekal di dunia ini hanyalah satu, yaitu perubahan. Setiap orang pasti akan mengalami perubahan dalam hidupnya, besar atau kecil, ke arah baik atau ke arah yang lebih buruk. Memang, Perubahan itu perlu

Walaupun sudah akrab dengan hal yang satu ini, namun jujur, aku paling takut dengan perubahan. Karakter monoton dan default custom seperti yang ada di kepalaku ini, biasanya akan memberi notice yang mengerikan sebelum terjadi perubahan itu. Jenis noticenya biasanya berupa alarm akan kondisi yang asing, orang-orang baru dengan unknown carakter, ansietas tidak berdasar dan kadang di-lebay-kan, dan tentunya lost of habit surrounding.

Perubahan juga membuatku seringkali merasa kehilangan, yang acapkali semakin terasa ketika mendengar sebuah lagu yang sering didengar pada saat sebelum perubahan. Iyah, perubahan menyebabkan kehilangan, satu hal yang juga aku takutkan dalam hidup.



Ada pepatah mengatakan "Keledai tidak akan jatuh dua kali di lubang yang sama" tetapi manusia akan jatuh berkali-kali pada lubang yang sama. Manusia itu lebih bodoh daripda keledai, dan jyahaa... aku manusia. Berkali-kali merasa kehilangan tetapi tetap saja tidak punya daya resistentsi akan hal itu. Parah...

Duh belibet amat nulisnya *nengok ke atas*
yang jelas, mulai tanggal 1 februari ini aku sudah memulai sesuatu yang baru. Efeknya besar, salah satunya, beli modem dan modal inet ngematre sendiri, MySpace huh... padahal gratisan itu kan enakkkkk
