Mcdodo vs Ugreen

Beberapa waktu lalu saya membuat video unboxing dan review charger Mcdodo untuk iPhone (MFi) dan membandingkannya dengan Ugreen. Hasilnya, secara kualitas material saya lebih suka Ugreen dan pengecharge-an lebih cepat 1%, dengan harga 100 ribu lebih mahal. Sedangkan Mcdodo, dari kualitas bahan nya, minus di kabel yang terasa kurang lentur, tapi keuntungannya, bisa lebih hemat 100rb dibandingkan membeli Ugreen.

my electric guitar since 2009

MY FIRST ELECTRIC GUITAR

i dedicated this story for my missing guitar which i got from my dad about 13 years ago. it was a replica or a copy of Ibanez. the headstock logo was even misspelled "Ibanas", but i still love it. my dad bought me when i was in senior high school. i used it several times to do some covers on facebook and it was appear in my youtube channel too. 

i usually play it at my bedroom with Vox AD30VT (a gift from my music course teacher) along with Boss metalzone pedal, but sadly i have to sell it a few years later because of something happened to me and i need more money. and my dad also got me a pedal. if i'm not mistaken, it was Nux overdrive pedal. 

QUIT PLAYING GUITAR

in 2014 or earlier, i decided to quit playing electric guitar because i thought that wouldn't fit with my appearance yk like i will be a rock girl if i play electric guitar but then after my dad's gone.. we moved to another house, we are splitting and we left that guitar at our previous house, left it to someone else who rent that house maybe for 2 years. i was starting to realize, that guitar is a legacy, i will play it no matter what. but when i ask for help, my mom went there to check and take that guitar, it wasn't there anymore. i believe someone has threw it away or sell it, idk. i pass the hard time to let go of it and started to find my ideal guitar to replace a gift from my dad in 2021.

but before it happened, in 2016 i ordered the custom guitar, the baby pink strato guitar from Sidoarjo. i love it, until i wrote my first song in 2017 with it, called "don't let dreams just be dreams". i am hoping i can publish that song in a full version before i turn 29 next year. 

MY ELECTRIC GUITARS, SO FAR :

1. A copy of Ibanez. "Ibanas" electric guitar, a gift from my dad in 2009.
2. 2016 custom of Stratocaster pink shell (@nandagitar)
3. 2017 custom Telecaster cabronita (@nandagitar)
4. 2018, Squier telecaster affinity black (i forgot the built year)
5. 2021, Fender stratocaster standard mexico 2007

i finally got my dream guitar to replace my missing guitar, the Ibanas one. i planned to buy the Ibanez RG but i cancelled it. During my finding, i learned a lot about the basics. The model, specs, colour, and anything in basic. Archguitars owner helped me a lot to find my ideal guitar. As a newbie, i've always want to have an ordinary guitar. I mean, i won't look up at the brand. The important thing for me, i can play guitar and replace my dad's gift and i can play all of my favorite songs with the guitar. But Mas Arif (Archguitars) recommend me to buy a better one for now and future. So it doesn't matter if you're a newbie but you can save your money to buy it, it'll never be wrong. It's a chance. "Use what pros use", he said. 

Now i only have my Fender strat with me, one 7/8 acoustic guitar, and another one is my birthday gift, a mahogany guitarlele. I will review them all later. bold, earth and calm, i named them.

'sup?

notes:

saya mulai lagi, mengandalkan menulis menjadi salah satu pengalihan dari diri yang sudah mulai lelah merespon permasalahan yang ada di kehidupan sendiri. Mind and The City sudah jadi topik utama di blog saya, sejak Agustus 2016. sebenarnya sebagian besar adalah tentang apapun yang saya alami, pikirkan, semua dari sudut pandang saya pribadi.

15/09/22

cutting my nails on my lyric paper is not the dirtiest thing i've ever done. like tonight, i think it's the first time i'm doing it. it's too bad to use tissue or directly into the trash bin. idk, will i still use it as my lyric paper? of course no. 

but hey, 'sup?

i'm watching my favourite TV series now, High Fidelity with Zoë Kravitz at it. do you know her? she's the cat woman on batman movie. idk, i ust love the vibes. Rob's messy love life, Newyork city, nice! i'll watch the movie version later.

20/09/22

what a cold and windy evening. now i'm sitting outside. after a long day of my maddest day. i feel guilty for it. but it's my rights to share and think that way. i won't do it anymore, i'm telling myself. idk, it's a weird feeling yet beautiful to sit here with my laptop, my phone, and all of the noises outside. this is what exactly i've been dreaming of when i was younger. that time before i own what i owned right now. 

this laptop

this dream phone

the windy road

the stable internet

and with my messy mind

i feel guilty because of what i've shared this morning

it only contained with anger

on the other place, my friend's waiting for her mom

i can feel her

i wish everything's gets better

wish i can help

at least to be more grateful for my life

"nothing last forever, so enjoy it"

there's always one person in my life who reminds me to be grateful

and do not focus on sad stuff

but also my happiness

and my anger today..

change my point of view

it be more wider than before

bad or good, thanks people and the city

My Favorite Book

MIND & THE CITY LAGI

Akhirnya Mind & The City ada lagi. Kemauan untuk mengoleksi buku-buku Dessen juga muncul lagi. Beberapa tahun terakhir memang berasa kurang baca buku, jadi sama kayak baca Al-Qur'an, setelah atau pas baca kita dapat ketenangan, kalau baca buku, kita dapat POV baru soal apapun itu. Tapi kali ini soal novel terjemahan, aku paling suka dan cuma baca karya Sarah Dessen. Entah sejak kapan baca buku kayak keberenti. Mungkin sejak android makin berkembang, game-game di HP yang menarik untuk di coba. Dan akhirnya pun sampai beralih ke iOS untuk experience hardware dan software yang baik dan simple. 

KURANGIN SCROLL LAYAR DAN BACA BUKU FISIK LAGI

Jujur aja, jadi kangen dan berasa butuh baca buku fisik lagi karena makin sekarang, tidur makin nggak nyenyak mikirin harus kerjain ini dan itu. It's like too many things to do. Jadi kepikiran untuk lanjutin beli dan baca buku Dessen. Ngurangin scroll layar, nightmare nggak sih ?! Tergantung. Nggak ada yang salah sih sebenernya, malah justru aku suka banget sejak ecommerce bermunculan lebih banyak. Mempermudah, itu pasti. I think it's all about controlling ourselves. So this entry is like a calling for my previous version in life. 'Cause whenever i read a book, i feel alive and i feel 'enough'. Nggak kayak sekarang yang berasa dikejar dan diburu waktu. So many things to do, so many things i can do before this and that.. but ended up with do nothing. Because of overthinking.

STILL, I THINK WRITING IS HEALING FOR ME

Like the old days, writing down dreams.. sekarang satu-persatu impian-impian ku terwujud. Jadi, apa yang aku tunggu ? It's like i've always waiting for something. but what is it ? Again, i need to control myself more, facing all things in modern life. Now i just want a simple life. Not that overthinking. I think it's more about self development, anger controlling, and feel enough. Jadi, bukan barang atau apapun yang bisa dibeli tapi experience and explore more, happily and calm. More like that. 

to the past me, life never will be the same, and i'll always changing for the future me. to the present me, keep going and do it better at your max level, don't forget to workout and sleep enough. dan jangan jadi pemarah.

i bought Fender guitar!

i'm proudly share this cover, that i've always waiting for.  it is to play electric guitar again. long short story, i bought Fender Stratocaster Standard Mexico 2007, it's secondhand and gorgeous! i planned to replace my missing guitar (a gift from my dad). i felt guilty i lost it at my previous house. idk who threw it away after me and my family moved. all i knew is when my mom came there, it gone. i wanted to buy the same brand as before (Ibanez) but can't find the ideal one. so i ended with the best choice, sekalian yang bagus aja gitu. awalnya mau Squier, terus Yamaha, but yeah.. thought i never be able to buy Fender guitar but i did it by hard saving in 2021. so i replaced my missing guitar, a gift from my dad with a gift back for my dad, i bought us the Fender! i am proud MasyaAllah, i can get my dream guitar. Alhamdulillah. so, enjoy the video cover of me playing Easier Than Lying - Halsey.

Gibson LG Alternative ?

If someone ask me what's my ideal guitar (body shape) i would say it's Gibson LG model. I never tried one before but i just y'know like, kinda feel it. I can't affort the price now and sometimes, i'm wondering is there any alternative for it, cheaper but still good one too. Here's my opinion which can be the good alternative that i found in the internet. Maybe there's someone like me who like LG series too ;)

1. Epiphone Caballero (Laminated top, back and sides)

2. Yamaha CSF3M (All solidwood guitar with passive pickup)

3. Enya T-05B (All solidwood guitar with electronics)

Harry Styles - As It Was Chord

[Intro]

Come on, Harry, we wanna say goodnight to you

D Bm E A

[Verse 1]

D

Holdin' me back

                       Bm

Gravity's holdin' me back

                                 E

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand

                            A

Why don't we leave it at that?

D

Nothin' to say

                                  Bm

When everything gets in the way

                               E

Seems you cannot be replaced

                         A

And I'm the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

D                  Bm          E

In this world, it's just us

A

You know it's not the same as it was

D                  Bm          E

In this world, it's just us

A                                                     D

You know it's not the same as it was

            Bm             E

As it was, as it was

       A

You know it's not the same

[Verse 2]

Answer the phone

"Harry, you're no good alone

Why are you sitting at home on the floor?

What kind of pills are you on?"

Ringin' the bell

And nobody's coming to help

Your daddy lives by himself

He just wants to know that you're well, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

In this world, it's just us

You know it's not the same as it was

In this world, it's just us

You know it's not the same as it was

As it was, as it was

You know it's not the same

[Bridge]

Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet

I don't wanna talk about the way that it was

Leave America, two kids follow her

I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first

[Outro]

(Hey)

As it was

You know it's not the same as it was

As it was, as it was

Connector / Converter Audio Xiaomi 11T

Kali ini, akan dibahas seputar connector yang cukup meresahkan, karna di dalam paket penjualan Xiaomi 11T aku nggak dapat connector atau converter 3.5 mm to C. Karena pembeliannya pun terkesan tergesa-tergesa dan meleset dalam perhitungan, jadi sama sekali nggak kepikiran nyari connector yang menjanjikan/bermerk. Aku iseng search di marketplace di balikpapan dan mampir ke beberapa konter, tapi harganya bervariasi. Jadinya beli yang kebanyakan di jual di konter dengan harga yang masuk akal. Untuk kualitas bahan dan desain yang seperti ini :

Aku dapat harganya Rp 10.000, nggak ada merknya, karna ku pikir "ah cuma converter ini", oke, datang kesana, coba test, worked! Cabut, bawa pulang. Untuk desainnya, sepertinya ini KW nya punya mi, mirip banget dengan kabel agak panjang dan tipis.

Quick test memang nggak pernah menjamin, pas nyampe rumah dicobain, panningnya kacau, suaranya agak ke kanan beberapa persen. Kualitas audionya juga sepertinya berubah walau nggak banyak, tapi masalah panning itu cukup mengganggu. 

Kesimpulan converter 3.5 mm to c, 10k :

- Umur hanya sebulan, padahal owner cukup hati hati memakainya

- Panning jadi tidak center, malah agak ke kanan

- Ada harga, ada kualitas

Tapi lumayan lah untuk menemani selama satu bulan. But, thank you,n ext. 

Akhirnya, niatan mencari converter lagi di tokped, dapet ugreen. Namanya UGREEN USB-C Male to 3.5mm Alu Case Adapter harganya Rp 29.000 . Setelah survei harga yang bervariasi di toko-toko lain (karna di officialnya kosong), akhirnya nemu yang cukup rame reviewnya. Sekalian beli splitternya juga dan hasilnya memuaskan. Btw, sengaja cari yang modelnya gini supaya nggak gampang ketarik-tarik. Dan ini type non DAC.

Ugreen Usb-C Male to 3.5 mm TOKOPEDIA

Kesimpulan converter ugreen usb-c male to 3.5mm :

- Kualitas audio tetap sama, tidak berubah

- Panning kanan kiri dan tengah, aman

- Desain simple dan gak khawatir bakalan ketarik tarik

- Material worth it

Alternatif lain ada Baseus L41 yang ada jack type c nya juga untuk ngecharge, tapi berhubung tidak membutuhkan itu, jadi aku tetap pilih Ugreen aja. Sekian, semoga membantu.

Videonya sudah ada guys :
