Facebook

There is a word built of one f, one a, one c, one e, one b, two os and one k. It is facebook.

Who doesn’t know it anyway? I’m sure all of you reading this writing must know it.

Well, the idea of writing about the very well known social network just came out accidentally. Is it important to talk about it? I guess you’ll say, “No”. Yet, here I just wanna share my brief thought about it.

In my opinion, the site I’ve known for more than 3 years is a kind of addict such as coffee. If you love coffee so much that you can’t leave it every morning, that’s fb I say. Well, just like coffee, fb brings both positive and negative effects. If coffee can make you stay alive longer, brighten your view and even increase your blood pressure, and so can the famous social network.

For some people, fb can be a breakthrough. Through fb they can share their ideas and even develop their career more easily. They can post their new ideas and post any newest information just in a second. However,the site can also make you frustated; it’ll draw you into different “world”. Unconsciously, most of your precious times will be taken if you don’t have good time management; thus, deadlines may stand in line afterwards. NOT even a single day without facebook? Pheww…, you totally get addicted then. In addition, it may change you into a suspicious person. Beware of this impact! ;).

Another definition of facebook, according to me, is something with high curiosity degree. How can I conclude it? See, it never gets tired of asking about your mind everytime it meets you; hence, It doesn’t stop asking, “What’s on your mind?”. ^^

On school days you open handbook,
then you write on your notebook.
Yet, everytime you open your eyes,
the one you open can be facebook.

UI Central Library

What place do you often visit recently? For me, it is UI central library. Well, it doesn’t mean that I’m a kind of diligent person who likes reading books so much in a library :D. Yet, my friends and I choose it as a meeting point for the comfort offered and its stragic location. At the library, not only reading, but also discussion, meeting and seminar can we do.

The library is located near the largest lake of UI, Balairung, UI main mosque and Rektorat building. It can be reached using campus bikes “spekun”, campus bus “bikun”, ojek, private transportation and even on foot.

One of interesting points of the building can be its postmodern architecture. The abstract construction of the building, both its exterior and interior design, makes it different from other buildings nearby. Its interior design is unique. Carvings of “read” term in some languages can be found.

Compared with the previous central library, it is exactly larger with more modern facilities. For its size and facilities, it is said that UI central library is the biggest one in Asia. The details of the building are described as follow:

1st floor: General Facilities, including;
– Library Adminstration Room
– Building Control Room
– Computer Room
– BNI
– Cafetaria
– Book Store
– Cinema
– Fitness Center
– Music Studio
– Television/Radio Studio
2nd floor: Library (text books, novels, etc)
3rd floor: Library (thesis, dissertations, research reports, etc)
4th floor: Library (dictionaries, encyclopedia, etc)
5th floor: Conference Room
6th floor: Auditorium
7th floor: Computer Laboratory
8th floor: Computer Laboratory

In short, the comfort and facilities offered make UI central library interesting to visit so far.
