Away from Crowd #6 : Sepedaan Bareng

Hari senin bagi sebagian orang mungkin adalah hari yang melelahkan. Kembali beraktifitas setelah weekend itu stressing yang lumayan, apalagi mereka yang harinya dipenuhi deadline, #eh #nomensyen.

Well, not for me then, sore itu saya dengan teman memutuskan untuk sepedaan di lapangan merdeka (pusat kota).

Berhubung saya belum memiliki sepeda, jadi ini yah nebeng dulu. Intinya mah 'visualisasikan', semakin real semakin cepet terwujud, insyaALLAH :)

Monumen perjuangan yang saya foto dari sepeda

Jalan balikpapan yang bebas kemacetan :)

Suasana lapangan merdeka senin sore, begitu lenggang :)

Kota ini emang selalu bersih, salute dah !

Talent foto diatas adalah...*jeng jeng jeng

Itu dulu untuk sesi Away from Crowd kali ini, hope you enjoy the view of my beautiful city. Makasih juga udah mbaca dan see you on the next post.

New Year's Gift from Distance Friend

"AlhamduliLLAH, Praise to ALLAH". 

That was the first word I said when I read a message in facebook. It was from distance friend, Oliver Villar, founder of blendtuts.com in Spain.

He wrote  :
" Hi there, Aditia! Your name didn't show up in the random selection for the free copies of the hologram project...

Anyway! You've been there for a long time, and this is my way of saying thank you. Contact me please, and tell me your email, so I can send you a free copy tomorrow

Thanks, and keep blending! "

The story was, Oliver held a giveaway and discount for his latest product in social media. It's tutorial for creating awesome hologram animation using blender. Below is the trailer for tutorial.



Actually, my name didn't appear as a winner in his website. But because he was so kind, he sent me a message and give me the tutorial for free. Awesome isn't it?

Oliver, if you read this, then I thank you so deeply. Thanks a billion.

Last year I also got a gift from web design ledger for premium wordpress theme. I've been using that for my site, fossgrafis.com since then.

And my mom also give me a gift.  Yesterday when I went home from office, I just a bit surprised that my chair has been replaced by a new one. Thanks mom..love you so much.

So, how about you? What is you new year's gift? Share your experience in comment below, I want to congratulate you too.

Thanks for reading.

Critiques Make You Move On

So long not post in here, I'm bit busy making tutorial and preparing surprise for 2012. Well, lately I found someone just following my tutorial in my site, FOSSgrafis.com. Below is the screenshot of the tutorial that I make long ago.

That person also leave a link in my site to his photo collection (completed result) in facebook. I just check them and bit surprised to found commentary like this.

Finally, I found critique for what I was doing so far. For me critique is very important, it..somehow give me strength to prove that I can do better next time.

No hard feeling, just keep moving on and prove that you can do better.

So, how about you? How'd you react with some critique that was addressed to you?
