Tak terasa, seminggu lagi Kenzo akan mencapai usia genap 15 bulan. Di usia ini dia sudah bisa melakukan banyak hal yang membuat jadi lebih menyenangkan bila bermain bersamanya. Kenzo sifatnya ramah, suka tertawa dan tidak takut terhadap orang baru. I feel blessed, happy and proud to be his dad. Other than I am his dad, these are the things that make me proud.

Facts About Kenzo :

Maybe if it’s not because of Effi’s best friend, Novi has a wedding day, I would never think that I want to go to Jakarta, spend few days there for a vacation. The weeding was fine and I had a lot of fun meeting people and also got opportunity to go to Sea World and going to malls at Jakarta which is so entertaining. Believe it or not I like going to the malls.

Well, trying new restaurants and window shopping at the malls are fun things to do.
But there is more inspiring thing for me as an internet marketer than just going to the mall; meeting with my fellows IM-ers.

Gong Xi Fat Cai! Selamat tahun baru imlek 2561 semuanya…!!! Percaya atau tidak tradisi memberi/menerima angpau yang biasa dilakukan di tahun baru imlek, tidak biasa dilakukan di keluarga saya. Meskipun kami juga diajarkan memberi selamat tahun baru kepada saudara-saudara, tetapi angpau bagi saya adalah hal yang tidak menjadi ‘target’ yang diinginkan pada setiap tahun baru imlek. Sebenarnya tradisi memberi selamat dan mendapatkan angpau bagi saya adalah hal yang baik. Bukan berfokus untuk ‘berburu’ angpao-nya, melainkan lebih bertujuan untuk memberikan hormat kepada mereka yang lebih tua.

Surprisingly, we are already in the tenth day of the year 2010. I know, New Year resolution should be made before or at least at the beginning of the year. Maybe it’s because right now I’m still in a ’sleep mode’ and not ready to go back to work yet.

Today is my last day in Semarang and Kudus. Tomorrow I will be headed east, back to Surabaya (yay!), and I will be switch back to my ‘normal mode’. It’s not that I don’t like my holiday, it was great, but because I have many things in my mind, a lot of plans for 2010, I am enthusiastic to start them soon.

Survey says the success rate is higher when you made your goals public, and got support from others. So, here are my commitments in 2010:

This is the second part of Hello World! A story of the birth of Kenzo, our first baby.
Hello again, everybody. Finally I went home from the hospital. I only be there for two days. This is the first time I’m home. It’s nice and comfortable and at least it gives a better environment, privacy and flexible time for my mom to nurse me. That’s what my parents say.

Hello everybody, if you see the title of this post “Hello World!”, it doesn’t mean that this is the first post of this blog like the common WordPress blog. This is me Kenzo, saying hello to you all. Well, at least that was my parents did for me. My full name is Kenzo Gratia, and this is my story.

Tgl 24 Maret 2009 adalah hari pertama Kenzo melihat dunia. Bagaimana tidak? Mungkin beda dengan kebanyakan bayi yang lain, sejak hari pertama Kenzo lahir matanya sudah melek. Setelah penantian selama satu hari di rumah sakit, dari tanggal 23 Maret jam 11 siang akhirnya besoknya lahirlah Kenzo pada jam 4.45 dini hari.

Hello guys, long time no see Yes, I have been absence for a long time I guess. I have to admit that it is hard to be consistent writing and keeping this blog updated. My apology to all my fans.

Me and my wife Effi, we both like Pizza so much. We often celebrate our moments together at Pizza Hut. Like what we did on my birthday, we had a good time together there. As you see in this picture, my wife Effi is pregnant, and the delivery is gonna be soon! It has been 9 months.

My apology to start the story with sad thing here. I’ve lost something valuable when I ended my career as a part time art & craft / drawing teacher. From that day I realized that I was a fully entrepreneur who works by my self and not depending on monthly salary at all.

Fortunately that is not the end of the story. Actually it was only the beginning. God already prepared something else for me. Something far better.

On the same day that I spoke with the principal, I found TNX, a site that allows us to buy or sell links on their marketplace. Within a month since I’ve joined TNX, I already get more than I expected

On June 22nd 2008, I had the opportunity to bring a presentation in a group of Internet marketers in Surabaya. The material of my presentation basically can be found in this blog. It’s about Installing WordPress and some SEO setting on it, and also a brief introduction about paid blogging.

The event was really meant for beginners even though some pros were there too. Related to WordPress for beginners, these are WordPress plug-ins that basically you need. I use these plug-ins everytime I install WordPress for the first time.

Ini adalah 3 plug-in basic yang selalu saya pakai. 1 plugin untuk penangkal spam, 2 untuk SEO. Mari kita bahas satu per satu.
