One of those activities that a blogger like me do is blogwalking. Visiting new blogs, read them or just to say hello. Naturally I went to many blogs and *ehm* written by Indonesian female bloggers. Well it’s like a second nature to click on “girlish” blog links

But anyway, these what I can say so far about those blogs:

• a lot of them are talking about their kids and family.
• a lot of them are talking about love, life, and cooking.
• a lot of them are talking about how they feel.
• a lot of them are talking about their travels.

I have no objection toward those blogs. I just think that we can actually draw a small picture from my finding. A lot of Indonesian female bloggers see blogs as their public personal journals and they continue to treat it as such. Very little I found blogs that try to offer more, such as selling stuff or offer analysis on events and news.

I realize that I can’t draw a complete conclusion just by blogwalking alone, and it is of course doesn’t apply to all of them.

Nevertheless, is it possible that the use of blogs mainly to talk about the topics I mentioned above, represents how women are perceived in this country? Is it also possible to say that this is how Indonesian women positioned themselves in the society?

Kebetulan hari itu lagi kumpul bareng temen-temen. Setelah beberapa lama berasa laper juga. Mau makan tapi jangan yang jauh-jauh dari rumah. Maunya di kisaran tebet aja. Akhirnya memutuskan untuk makan di rumah makan Senjaya (ngga berapa jauh dari Ayam Bakar Mas Mono).

Anyway, tempatnya sendiri sih ngga terlalu menarik. Tapi yah masih bisa ditolerir lah. Kalau soal harga sih relatif sama dengan restoran-restoran cina lainnya.
