  • the good and the bad news regarding this little blog o’ mine

    Check out the address bar in your browser!

    Yes, my friend! sincerelyputdar.blogspot.com is now simply putdar.net 😀

    However, I still find an error when opening http://putdar.net (without the ‘www’) in Chrome, but the address works perfectly fine in Firefox. The old address still works, though. If you open this blog via the old url, you will be redirected to the new one.

    That, my friend, is the good news.

    The bad news is… well, yesterday I googled ‘the nerdy elephant’ (like I always do whenever I’m bored). This blog was still dominating the first page, but there was a Facebook fanpage which had a different description than mine. So I checked it out. Turned out someone had a website called The Nerdy Elephant. The site is brand new and still has nothing in it. My heart is broken. Completely broken.

    So I might change the name of this blog. Again. Very soon.

    I’m still thinking a new name, the one that (hopefully) could be a permanent name for this blog. I don’t want to confuse my readers and followers, but since that person who has The Nerdy Elephant website seems serious about it (they even bought a .com), I think I should be the one who takes a step back.

    I’m so sad. I got the name by thinking about it very carefully with Entin. I had done some research first by googling various names (like ‘the dancing elephant’, ‘the jumping elephant’, etc.) before settling down on ‘the nerdy elephant’. Why didn’t that person do some research before deciding to use it? 🙁

    Now, do you have any suggestion as to what I should name this blog? (Or if you have any suggestion regarding The Nerdy Elephant)

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.


    PS. NATION was a huge success! Gonna post about is as soon as I get the pictures from Richo (I was so busy that I didn’t get the chance to take pictures). In the meantime, you can see some pictures over at Dini’s blog or at NATION’s official Tumblr 🙂

  • is this for real???

    I just logged in to my account and this is what I found. IS THIS THE REAL LIFE??? (Or is this just fantasy?)

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • so this is goodbye

    Whoa! 56 followers? Really? I haven’t checked my dashboard for the last few days and now I find out that I have 56 followers now. Yay! Oh and hello, by the way… My name’s Putdar. Thanks for following my blog 🙂

    In this post, I’d like to tell y’all that I’m leaving for Lampung tonight. I’ll stay there for 6 days. I’ll be back next Tuesday. See you! 😉

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    PS. I’m going to reply to your comments as soon as possible.
    PPS. I got an award! 😀

  • guess what day it is!

    Yesss, baby… It’s my blog’s birhtday. Yaaay!!! 😀

    Exactly two years ago, I created my very first post. I started this blog to fulfill the requirement in Bahasa Indonesia class so at first I wrote it in Bahasa. I abandoned it as soon as I got my A on the subject (circa January 2010). But, I resurrected it from its death in September 2010, so the hiatus was approximately eight months. Its name has changed from “Putdar di Sini” to “Sincerely, Putdar.” and finally to “The Nerdy Elephant”.

    Some of my headers during the two years (I love headers!)

    Unfortunately, I can’t throw a party for you, little blog. But of course this calls for a toast:

    So, once again:

    Happy birthday, love!

    Thanks for being a place to share my silly everyday life. You are wonderful. I am working on making you even more wonderful. I love you! <3

    Sincerely,

  • oh hi!

    Hello! I realised I haven’t posted anything since Saturday. I know, I know. I’m having that blogger block moment again. I can’t really say that I’m busy. The semester just started last week, so I don’t have real homework yet. I’m just… still a little bit frustated because of something which happened last week. It’s still bothering me, littering my thought. I really wish I could just write it here, pour my thoughts and feelings about it, but that’s not my intention when I first created this blog. No, that’s what my Tumblr is for. Haha!

    Talkin’ bout Tumblr… I wonder why it’s so easy for me to get more followers in Tumblr than in Blogger. I have, like, 60-ish followers there (not a big number, but still…) but only 50 followers here. So, if you’re reading this but not a follower yet, could you please click that little “Follow” button? It only takes several clicks. You won’t be sorry, I promise. Haha… ;p

    Anyway, right now I’m in KFC, downloading some things via the WiFi connection (KFC has the best WiFi connection in town. Woohoo!). And… I have Entin here with me. She’s reading Madre.

    Le chill in KFC

    Kay. Nuff rambling. See you! 😀

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.
