Pink For October is a campaign where websites change the colour scheme of their layouts into PINK during the month of October. They do this for the sake of supporting the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Well, count me in.
How well do I know about breast cancer? I can’t give you qualified answer for that. But what I do know is that it’s one of the scariest thing in this world which could take away someone whom I loved so very much. I had to watch my grandma slowly dying because of that stupid breast cancer thing, she passed away after several years struggling and suffering.
Since then, my mom has always been aware of breast cancer… of course we realize that we have bigger chance to get affected. She’s been taking me and herself for medical check up once every year to have our breasts examined.
I lost my grandma years ago when I was in middle school. At that time I didn’t know many women who had breast cancer other than her. But today… I see more and more of them have it. My friend’s moms and grandmoms, my friends’ aunts, relatives… and even my own friend at campus (ET Ayu). She had a surgery to remove the cancer, but then she said it started growing again. She needs to have another surgery, but guess what… she doesn’t have enough money to afford it so she can’t have it anytime soon, yet.
By supporting the campaign it will help women to realize how important it is to get to know about breast cancer and how to prevent it. It’s even way cooler if you had some $$$ and wanted to donate it to your local organizations which take care of this stuff, to help people like my friend ET Ayu.

I came across a blog site and read this article.
I know that it is very hard to create some ideas and then translate it into some designs. Most of the time ideas don’t pop like magic in your head. Inspirations don’t come while you’re smoking and wandering in the toilet like they wrote in Lupus novels. Inspirations come from seeing, watching, hearing, experiencing… and sometimes you get inspired by other people’s work. No one has the right to say that it is wrong. Even famous artists and designers get inspired by each other and other people’s work.
But inspiration is different from imitation. When you imitate other people’s work, you copy the same exact thing. Basically what you do is just re-producing. Not only ripping their whole concept and ideas but also copying the colors, pictures, copy pasting / a little editing on the CSS file, erasing credits to the original creator. Like it ain’t enough, you claim it that it’s all yours, taking all the praises and glory for yourself… and then calling yourself an artist. LOL.
Despite from if imitating is against the rules or not, if it is a sin or not… Definitely it is not recommended for someone to do such things… If you insist means that you’re ready for the risk of getting humiliated. Cus when public finds it out, usually you’re just gonna make yourself look like a complete loser.

Shocking? Yes. No one expected that at all. I’ve got so many friends living in that city, esp. my friends from middle school. One of them is Marchel. Thank God, he’s very lucky cus it’s a long holiday and he’s spending his holiday in Jakarta. But I haven’t heard from my other friends Nanuk and Lely…
