My name is Haryo Bagus Handoko, S.P (undergraduate degree in Agribusiness, alumni of Brawijaya University - Malang, Indonesia). I was born in Malang, East Java Province - Indonesia, in 10 June 1975, as a first son of Hardjono,S.H. and Soelistijanti, BSc. Was born as traditional Javanese Indonesian moslem male, I found myself enjoying reading very much ever since I was a child and that inspiring me to write just about everything. In fact, I like to learn everything as well as trying something new. So I write many things : fiction, humor, science, cuisine, gardening, as well as computer information technology. My specialty is writing articles, but I am progressing in learning how to write a book. That's why I am joining Malang Writers Community Forum Organization, named : "Forum Penulis Kota Malang", a local writers community in Malang, a small town 90 km's away from Surabaya, which is the capital city of East Java Province. In this organization, I participate and get involved as a webmaster as well as general information voluntary care taker. I help to promote this writers community organization to develop and gain more knowledge, writing skills and get connected with many publishing companies in Indonesia as well as many media in Indonesia.I like to read many things, from books to any source from the internet. That's why I also learn many things. I like to read as much as writing. I also like to eat, and that's why I determent to try and put much effort to learn about how to cook and make cookies, sweets and cakes. I also try to write many recipes and try to send them to many cooking magazines in Indonesia. Even though sometimes they rejected my recipes, but I never giving up. I still writes more recipes as well as many fictions, love stories, science fictions, kids stories, fairy tales and some computer tutorials which fortunately has been published in some computer magazines as well as computer tabloids. I speak bahasa Indonesia, as well as English, French, Javanese and Maduranese. Well, I must admitted that my French language and my Maduranese language rather terrible, but at least I am still learning and never give up. "The more you speak languages, the more you could see the world from many angles", that's what my father said. So, ever since I was in elementary school, I determent to learn English as my first foreign language. Even though I am not the best in speaking in English, but at least I could read, learn and communicate with people. Well, I still want to learn as many as foreign language, but still I do not have resources and do not have enough money to take language course. Well, if someday I would be given the opportunity to learn foreign language, the I wish to learn Spanish, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Japanese, and Chinese language. I am so thirst, thirst of science and knowledge ! But unfortunately, I am not rich enough to take some lessons or courses . . . Well of course in this life you could never get everything you want . . .I like traveling, bicycling, picnics, sunbathing, reading, cooking, internet surfing, watching TV and videos. Well, there are not much to tell about my activities, but in my spare time, I would so busy write about many things and try to send many articles to many Indonesian magazines, tabloids, and newspaper through e-mail, just to get small sum of money. As you know, it's not easy to get a job nor get some money in Indonesia, that's why you should keep your hands busy in writing many articles just to struggle for living and get small sum of money from writings. But I think writing is my life, and I like it a lot, because it is a hobby as well as a career. Until today, I still learn how to be a better and professional writer. I hope someday my writings will make more money, fortune and could take me travel around the globe. Everybody of course have the right to have his own dreams, right ?
