Hello, Jakarta Writer! **Are you a member of [Jakarta Friends](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊 JakWri (former Jakarta Creatives) and JakFri is **the** biggest, first, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us for this **Fun Writing Challenge #7** Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself. **ABOUT THE EVENT** This event is a fun, communal event to train your creative writing muscle. **It's easy and fun, and writers with every level of expertise and every kind of experience are welcome to join!** This is how it works: Everyone will receive a prompt, and they will need to write a short piece based on that for about \~1h. After that, everyone will read or listen to what the others have written, and we will comment and discuss. We don't aim at criticizing, but at helping and elevating each other. **Writing should be fun; writing together is even funnier!** Sharing what you have written is optional. You can just join to unleash your creativity and follow the conversation on other's creative journeys. We meet for a circa 3 hour session at Bali Coffee House in Lebak Bulus for our creative writing challenges. We have \~30 minutes to set up and get into the mood, \~1 hour of quiet and individual writing, and \~1,5h to discuss our writings. The writing challenge is as follows: 1. Prepare your writing kit (pen and paper, notebook, laptop, phone … take your pick) 2. The theme for each writing challenge session will be different. (For example: “Fools". You can refer to anything you like, from April Fool’s Day to simply feeling silly for doing something.) 3. You have only \~1 hour to write anything based on that theme, whether it’s a poem, a flash fiction, a short story, or just a rant. 4. After that time, gather and start sharing what you have just written. (This is, of course, **optional** for those willing to do it.) 5. At the end we will discuss our writing process, and what we liked in other's pieces. We don't want to criticize, but to help and support each others as writers! 6. Just show up and dive into the challenge. Everyone will be working on their stuff, and we won't discuss it during writing. You’ll surprise yourself with what you can do in such a short time. **Be on time.** After the sharing session, you’re welcome to resume your writing mode or simply hang out and chat about writing or anything related. We can also share each other's texts and give feedback, if that's something someone would like to do. We have organised this event before!

🎉🔥**Road to Unconference 2026!**🔥🎉 **Event terbesar [My First Bitcoin](https://myfirstbitcoin.org/) di Asia akan segera hadir 🚀** **Kita akan mengadakan Bitcoin Unconference pertama kami—** **mengumpulkan pemula, alumni, hingga Bitcoiner dari berbagai penjuru dunia.** **📍 Surabaya — 22 Agustus 2026** **🚨Tempat terbatas.** **Kalau kamu mau jadi bagian dari ruang diskusi yang beda…** **👉 amankan tiketmu sekarang:** **[unconference.bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://unconference.bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)** Halo Bitcoiner Bintaro! 👋 Selama ini, kita mungkin lebih sering melihat Bitcoin sebagai sesuatu yang dibeli, disimpan, lalu… ditunggu. Tapi pernah nggak kepikiran kalau Bitcoin juga bisa *diputar* dalam kehidupan sehari-hari? 🤔 Di meetup kali ini, kita bakal ngobrol santai tentang *Sirkular Ekonomi*—sebuah konsep di mana Bitcoin nggak cuma jadi aset, tapi juga digunakan langsung dalam aktivitas sehari-hari. Dari beli, jual, sampai transaksi antar individu, semuanya jadi bagian dari ekosistem yang hidup. 🔄⚡ Kita akan bahas bagaimana sirkular ekonomi bisa terbentuk, kenapa ini penting untuk adopsi jangka panjang, dan bagaimana peran komunitas jadi kunci dalam menjalankannya. Karena tanpa penggunaan nyata, Bitcoin akan selalu terasa “jauh” dari keseharian kita. 💬 Menariknya, dari sini kita bisa melihat Bitcoin bukan cuma soal harga atau investasi, tapi tentang bagaimana nilai itu benar-benar bergerak dan digunakan. Dari situ, pemahaman kita biasanya jadi lebih grounded dan realistis. 💡 Nggak perlu langsung kebayang besar—justru kita mulai dari hal-hal kecil yang mungkin bisa dilakukan di sekitar kita. Karena sirkular ekonomi itu tumbuh pelan-pelan, dari kebiasaan sederhana yang dilakukan bersama. 🌱 Meetup ini cocok buat kamu yang penasaran bagaimana Bitcoin bisa lebih “hidup” dalam keseharian, atau yang ingin melihat sisi lain dari penggunaan Bitcoin di luar sekadar simpan. ✨ Seperti biasa, suasananya santai dan terbuka. Kamu bisa tanya, sharing, atau sekadar ikut menyimak juga nggak masalah. 🤝 Yuk gabung dan mulai bayangkan bagaimana Bitcoin bisa jadi bagian dari aktivitas sehari-hari, bukan cuma sesuatu yang disimpan. Sampai ketemu di meetup! 🚀⚡ 📌 Info Penting:🔸 **Tiket GRATIS**! Tapi peserta diwajibkan membeli makan/minum sendiri selama acara🔸 Tidak ada promosi **altcoin**, **NFT**, atau **token kripto** lainnya🔸 Hanya membahas **Bitcoin** — teknologi, nilai, dan dampaknya bagi dunia 🔗 **Tentang Kami**🟠 [Bitcoin Indonesia](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21) adalah inisiatif nirlaba yang bertujuan untuk:🕊️ Menyebarkan pemahaman tentang **Bitcoin** sebagai alat pembebasan individu⚖️ Mendorong **kedaulatan finansial** melalui edukasi netral📚 Menyediakan konten **open-source** yang bisa digunakan siapa pun, gratis 📲 **Telegram**:[ ](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)**[t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)** 📸 **Instagram**:[ ](https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinindo21)**[@bitcoinforindonesia](https://instagram.com/bitcoinforindonesia)🌐 Website**:[ www.bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Join us as we get together for a CAPA Summer Movie event to see the romantic, funny, heartwarming, feel-good classic, PRETTY WOMAN! Julia Roberts and Richard Gere star in this modern-day fairy-tale romance! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: A wealthy corporate raider hires a Hollywood escort as his date for a week of high-society business events. But what starts as a business transaction blossoms into genuine love, challenging both of their lives and leading to an unexpected romance. The film is directed by Garry Marshall and stars Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Héctor Elizondo, Ralph Bellamy (in his final performance), Laura San Giacomo and Jason Alexander.

Critics praise Julia Roberts’ star-making performance, the undeniable chemistry between her and Richard Gere, and its warm, funny feel-good story about kindness, self-worth and transformation! The film’s “intelligence and wit,” “first-class performances” and “sharp, funny script” have made Pretty Woman a classic and truly “something special!” THE OHIO THEATRE: The Ohio Theatre is located at 39 E.

Come join us for lunch together at Bendi Wok, one of my favorites!

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.

Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, joins forces with an unlikely companion on an interstellar journey of vengeance and justice when an unexpected adversary strikes too close to home. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Ana Nogueira, and stars Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet and Jason Momoa.
