<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Masih tentang pencarian laptop impian saya, tulisan ini merupakan lanjutan dari artikel saya sebelumnya :</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Di zaman
sekarang ini rasanya brainwash entrepreneurship kian menjamur di berbagai
kalangan. Kini banyak anak muda yang ingin menjadi seorang pengusaha, at least
meskipun baru impian tapi dikepala sudah merencanakan berbagai hal. Termasuk
kemungkinan adanya kendala-kendala yang harus dihadapi..</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"> Oh ya, seorang pebisnis agar bekerja dengan prima juga harus
memiliki perangkat-perangkat yang mendukung kinerjanya dengan baik. Misalnya
transportasi, alat komunikasi, internet dan laptop. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Memilih
jenis laptop yang sesuai untuk pebisnis saya kira cukup penting. Karena dengan
performa yang prima diharapkan bisnis yang dijalankan pun ikut berkembang
dengan baik.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Bicara
tentang memilih laptop. Asus mengeluarkan ultrabook yang sangat cocok untuk
kalangan pebisnis maupun pekerja pemerintahan, yakni </span><span lang="IN" style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: IN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-no-proof: yes;">notebook ASUSPRO Advanced BU401LA</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-no-proof: yes;">. </span><span lang="IN" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Dari sisi desain, meski ultra tipis dan ultra ringan,
ultrabook kelas professional ini juga memiliki konektivitas input-output yang
lengkap</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"> sehingga sesuai bagi pebisnis yang sering presentasi dengan
client. </span><span lang="IN" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Selain itu,
keyboard ASUSPRO Advanced BU401LA juga didesain agar lebih nyaman digunakan
untuk bekerja. Touchpad lebar yang tersedia juga menawarkan tingkat presisi
yang tinggi terhadap sentuhan</span></div>

saya yang nangkring di atas kasur. Notebook ini meskipun super lelet, tapi
tetap harus disyukuri karena apa daya Laptop yang biasa saya pakai sudah saya
balikin ke kantor lama. Hmm… Apa yang hilang memang tidak perlu diingat-ingat
kembali. Tapii… rasanya pengen deh punya laptop yang tahan banting dan
produktif kayak gitu lagi, habis udah kebiasaan.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Waktu masih di ‘The Blue’ sih
laptopnya super duper deh. Mau nyala kepanasan sampe sebulan, mau ditekuk sampe
datar, atau mau jatuh-jatuh pun amaan. Secara sering dibawa ke lapangan gituh.<br />
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 150%;">Denger-denger ASUS mengeluarkan ultrabook
yang berstandard militer semacam ini. Ultrabook yang didesain untuk kalangan

<span style="line-height: 150%;">Ultrabook ini memiliki
material </span><i style="line-height: 150%;">UD Carbon Fiber</i><span style="line-height: 150%;"> memberikan
keamanan ekstra pada bodi ultrabook ini. Kemudian yang penting, performa dan

berbagai pengujian ekstrim standar militer US MIL-STD 810G. Wih, keren juga ya.
Seperti apa tes nya?</span></div>

tambahan 20,000 kali pengujian engsel yang ketat dibandingkan pada notebook

Oh ya, katanya ultrabook ini juga dilengkapi dengan teknologi anti guncangan.
Termasuk perangkat lunak berupa <i>Sensor
Accelerometer Digital 3D </i>yang secara cerdas dapat memprediksi dampak
tiba-tiba dan secara otomatis mengambil tindakan yang dapat meminimalisir
resiko kerusakan pada hard disk. <o:p></o:p></div>

notebook ini juga dilengkapi dengan logam khusus berupa kumpulan pengganjal di
sekitar hard disk yang berfungsi untuk memperkuat perlindungan terhadap hard

Sebelum masuk Daarut Tauhid, saya tidak pernah benar-benar menyukai ceramah Aa Gym. Di Masjid Daarut Tauhid inilah baru saya mendengarkan dan ternyata ceramahnya penting sekali untuk fondasi hidup.<br />

Pict: Pada kertas tsb terdapat Gambar Kuburan dengan nama kami diatasnya. Kami diminta menuliskan ketika meninggal siapa yang akan datang ke pemakaman dan amal apa yang sudah kita perbuat. Tak ada yang benar-benar bisa saya tulis...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ketika mengesakan Allah, tak boleh ada sesuatu yang terlalu mendominasi hati selain Allah. Baik itu harta, pasangan, hobi, atau apapun itu. Semua hanya ujian.<br />
<br />
Sibuk dengan dunia tanpa mengingat Allah dalam hati, pasti ketenangannya berkurang. Padahal setiap saat Allah ingat kepada kita. Sepantasnya kita setiap saat juga selalu mengingat Allah (dengan dzikir).<br />
<br />
Tak perlu kita terlihat hebat dan istimewa di mata manusia, cukup di mata Allah. Tak perlu terkenal di mata manusia, lebih baik terkenal diantara malaikat penduduk langit. Tak perlu mengharap balasan dari manusia, cukup balasan dari Allah. Semua urusan mudah karena dibuat mudah oleh Allah. Ridhla Allah yang harus dikejar. Lakukan hanya hal-hal yang disukai Allah.<br />
<br />
Hati pun harus dijaga. Karena akan diminta pertanggungjawabannya. Sekecilnya penyakit hati akan membuat hidup tidak tenang dan menghalangi ke surga. Kami sering dibuat menangis oleh ustadz-ustadz disini. Membersihkan hati memang harus diawali dengan mengingat dosa dan tangis adalah buktinya.<br />

Itulah sekelumit pelajaran yang saya petik dari Daarut Tauhid, materi tauhid saya dapatkan berulang-ulang selama 30 hari hingga seperti me-brainwashed saya dan teman-teman. Semuanya menancap kuat dan mengakar di Qolbu kami. Namun, Tauhid harus di re-charge terus, karena ketika kembali ke kehidupan riil tidak semudah itu untuk selalu mengingatnya.. .<br />

Tulisan ini merupakan lanjutan dari artikel saya sebelumnya: <a href="http://lunchbreaker.blogspot.co.id/2015/08/finding-god-3-waterfall.html" target="_blank">Finding The God #3: The Waterfall</a><br />
<br />
Mulailah kami pada keseharian menjadi seorang santri. Kami mendapatkan banyak pelajaran mulai dari fiqih, akidah, tauhid, tadjwid, dll. Setiap hari kami bangun jam 3 untuk sholat tahajud. Kami pun diwajibkan sholat 5 waktu di masjid, untuk melatih kebiasaan. Oh ya, tak lupa setiap hari kami jajan karena buanyaknya jajanan lezat di Daarut Tauhid. hehee<br />
<br />
Di kelas, terdapat hijab yang memisahkan antara ikhwan dan akhwat. Salah satu yang saya acungi jempol dari Daarut Tauhid adalah kemampuannya membuat para santri menjadi Gadhul Bashar atau menjaga pandangan. Entah kenapa nasehat yang diberikan oleh ustad seperti terserap benar dalam kepala kami. Di lingkungan Daarut Tauhid yang sebesar itu belum pernah saya melihat ada akhwat dan ikhwan berduaan, ngobrol berdua pun jarang sekali. Berpapasan pasti nunduk. Kalau ada yang penting bicara seperlunya. Di kalangan rohis SMA atau di aktivis dakwah kampus teralim sekalipun tidak se high-class ini gadhul basharnya saya kira. Luar biasa.<br />

Teman-teman seangkatan memiliki kisah tersendiri mengapa mereka bisa sampai ke program DQ ini. Mulai dari yang baru mualaf hingga yang hijrah dari dunia entertainment negatif pun <br />
ada. Inti dari semuanya sama. Ingin berhijrah, ingin menemukan sesuatu yang terasa hilang dalam qolbu.<br />
<br />
Orang kota sering mencari hiburan dengan karaokean atau hangout di mall-mall. Seketika itu memang terasa menyenangkan. Tapi sesudah hiburan itu selesai ya sudah, nanti butuh hiburan lagi. Itu wajar sih. Tapi ternyata bukan begitu caranya menghibur qolbu. Ustad-ustad di sini penghasilannya biasa saja dan tidak pernah karaokean, tapi lihatlah wajah-wajah mereka. Tak perlu hiburan pun jiwanya sudah penuh dengan kebahagiaan.<br />
<br />
Itu semua dikarenakan tauhid mereka sudah tinggi....Mereka tahu betul untuk apa hidup didunia ini. seperti apa tauhid yang diajarkan disini??<br />

Melanjutkan tulisan sebelumnya pada artikel: <a href="http://lunchbreaker.blogspot.co.id/2015/07/finding-god-2-surprise.html" target="_blank">Finding The God #2: Surprise</a><br />
<br />
Akhirnya saya bertemu dengan teman-teman seangkatan pada program Dauroh Qolbiyah. Usianya antara 20 sampai 34 tahun. Total ikhwan dan akhwat berjumlah 32 orang. Dan sampailah kami pada orientasi lapangan.<br />
<br />
Awalnya saya heran, untuk apa sih pesantren pakai orientasi segala. Itu kan kuno sekali dan sedikit manfaatnya. Tapi ternyata ospek disini berbeda. Saya masih ingat kami berjalan menuju daerah berbukit. Sepanjang jalan kami disuruh dzikir setiap saat dalam hati. Karena semesta alam pun berdzikir bagaimana kita sebagai ciptaan Allah yang paling sempurna tidak melakukanya?<br />
<br />
Akhirnya rombongan tiba di sungai. Kami disuruh rapling menuruni sungai. Saya takjub melihat mbak-mbak akhwat pemandu walaupun berbaju besar pada lincah bergerak di bebatuan yang licin dan rapling dengan gesitnya.<br />
<br />
Kemudian kami tiba di air terjun yang cukup tinggi dan deras sekali airnya. Berderum keras suaranya. Masing-masing dari kami menjadi ciut. Kami disuruh melalui (melingkari) air terjun itu dengan bantuan tali (bagi yang akhwat). Ini tidak semudah kelihatannya.<br />
<br />
Biasanya yang ditakutkan dari ospek adalah ketika dibentak-bentak dan dihukum karena kesalahan. Disini berbeda, disini kami dibuat takut dan hilang nyali, takut nyawa melayang atau kenapa-kenapa. Namun mau tidak mau kami harus melakukannya. Disitulah kalimat ALLAHUAKBAR yang membahana keluar dari setiap mulut hingga bergetar kerongkongan. Cuma Allah yang bisa kita mintai pertolongan disetiap kesulitan. Itu inti yang ditekankan disini. Hati ini benar-benar mencari Allah.<br />
<br />
Awalnya saya kira mudah. Toh ada tali ini. Kesombongan hati kecil saya terbaca oleh Allah. Air terjun yang mengucur dari atas terasa sakit mengenai kepala dan karena banyaknya air saya kesulitan menemukan udara untuk bernafas. Baru beberapa langkah saya merasakan sungai semakin dalam dan air semakin menikam dari atas. Saya terus menarik tali tambang agar cepat sampai ke tengah putaran pertama. Semakin lama saya benar-benar tenggelam. Saya ketakutan. Arus yang deras dan berarah memutar menyebabkan orang yang bisa berenang sekalipun tak akan berkutik. Akhirnya saya berhasil sampai ke setengah putaran pertama walaupun dengan terengah-engah. Setengah putaran selanjutnya berhasil saya lalui juga. Banyak teman-teman akhwat yang awalnya menangis tidak mau ikut tapi dipaksa, "Kamu yakin punya Allah??KENAPA TAKUT?!"<br />

Ini hanya melatih keyakinan kita bahwa kita manusia yang kerdil. Kita tak mempunyai kekuatan apa-apa kalau bukan Allah yang berkehendak memberikannya.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Malam semakin larut, seorang mudaritsah (seperti kakak pemandu) mengantar saya ke dalam muslimah center. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Nanti tidurnya disini ya, bareng - bareng" katanya. Ruangan itu cukup besar, beralaskan karpet hijau dan terdapat lemari-lemari kecil berjajar. Ternyata kami harus tidur disatu ruangan berisikan sekitar 30 orang. Wow, saya belum pernah berbagi kamar dengan segitu banyaknya orang. Terbayang nanti pasti nggak nyaman. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lalu beliau membuka koper saya untuk memilah-milah baju. </div>
<div>
"Wah, baju kamu semuanya nggak lolos" </div>
<div>
Apa? lolos apa?? saya pun sedikit bingung. Ternyata selama di pesantren kami harus memakai baju yang benar-benar syar'i. Gamis hitam panjang, jilbab putih besar, lengkap dengan kaos tangan, kaos kaki, daleman jilbab dll. Jadi terpaksa saya beli hampir semua baju-baju saya on the spot. Sedih juga melihat dompet, tapi nggak apa lah. Ikhlas. Karena memang sebelumnya saya nggak punya gamis, cuma punya rok sedikit. Sisanya celana jeans. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lalu kakak mudaritsah bertanya kepada saya,</div>
<div>
"Nomer pentingnya sudah dicatat? hapenya saya sita ya" Jederr. Saya nggak tau kalau hp bakal disita. Saya datang ke sini memang dadakan dan nggak tau banyak info. Alhasil saya pun mencatat dan menghubungi orang-orang dekat bahwa saya tidak akan bisa dihubungi selama sebulan kedepan.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Program Dauroh Qolbiyah (DQ) yang saya ikuti sebenarnya sudah dimulai. Saya telat 2 hari. Santri DQ lain sedang menjalankan program orientasi katanya. Asiknya saya hanya akan kebagian 2 hari orientasi ke depan hihii.. Itu pun juga surprise, Pesantren ospeknya seperti apa ya? ahh.. tapi di geologi saya sudah makan asam garam per ospekan, kayaknya nggak akan ada yang lebih dari itu. Dulu di geologi ospeknya saja 9 bulan. Kurang apa coba? Tahun pertama kuliah teman angkatan pada rata-rata semua perutnya saking seringnya sit up. Eh tahun-tahun akhir malah pada membuncit lagi.haha Jadi saya pun santai menghadapi orientasi ini....namun ternyata...</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Pesantren Daarut Tauhid Bandung... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tempat ini menakjubkan buat saya. Awalnya saya kesini cuma karena ingin memperbaiki sholat saya yang buruk. Ternyata saya mendapatkan lebih dari itu. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sore hari menjelang buka puasa di hari kamis, saya sampai di pesantren itu. Tukang ojek yang mengantar saya pun pamit. Firasat saya tempat ini pasti menarik, karena sepanjang jalan saja yang diobrolkan tukang ojeknya adalah: Tauhid!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Coba deh teteh jam dua bangun, sunyi.. dunia lagi tertidur teh.. tapi coba bangun dan sholat.. beuh itu rasanya teh, seperti dekat gitu dengan Allah!" begitu masih ingat saya kata - kata tukang ojek tersebut. Cukup kaget juga saya mendengarnya. Saya pun tersenyum dan merasa ini bukan jalan yang salah.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ketika sampai di pesantren, ternyata pesantrennya berada di lingkungan masyarakat dan terbuka (bukan berpagar tinggi seperti bayangan saya). Waktu itu menjelang adzan magrib, saya melihat ratusan santri duduk berjajar berhadap - hadapan di bahu jalan membentuk barisan panjang. Di depan mereka terhidang banyak makanan dan cemilan untuk berbuka. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mereka memakai syal warna - warni. Masing - masing warna menunjukkan program yang sedang mereka ikuti. Takjub saya ketika melihat barisan syal biru tua yang bertuliskan "Santri Tahfidz Daarut Tauhid". Saya belum pernah melihat sekumpulan penghafal Al-Qur'an sebanyak itu. Jangan kira santrinya hanya usia remaja, dari anak kecil hingga tua renta ada. Jujur saya menitikkan air mata, namun masih sambil tersenyum.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Di Muslimah Center, sendirian saya menunggu admin untuk mendaftar dan membayar program yang akan saya ikuti. Terlihat berlalu lalang para santri, dimana - mana membawa Al-Qur'an. Mereka berjalan sambil menghafal, duduk di genteng sambil menghafal, di balkon sambil baca Qur'an. Sungguh, dimana - mana terdengar lantunan ayat suci Al-Qur'an. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Aneh, sepanjang hidup dibumi manapun saya tidak pernah merasakan suasana seperti itu. Lingkungannya benar - benar damai. Wajah - wajah disana berbeda sekali dengan wajah yang biasa saya temui di kota besar seperti jakarta. Disini orang - orangnya auranya beda, tenang, senyum, damai, terlihat sekali bahagianya. Benar sekali firman Allah di surat Ar-Ra'd ayat 28 ".. Orang - orang yang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingat Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingat Allah-lah hati menjadi tenteram". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pada hari itulah perjalanan saya di pesantren asuhan Aa Gym tersebut dimulai. To be continued...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
topping:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Serve each component (vegetable, sauce, condiment, and topping) separately on the dining table.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How to eat is: take a half cup of rice, put each vegetable and a little condiment nicely on top,</div>

This is basicaly what soto is, but usually Indonesian people eat soto with any side dish (lauk) as desire.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example with fried tempe, or fried chicken.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soto is a very common Indonesian dish, especially in Java, even for the poorest one. We eat soto usualy for lunch, but it's dependent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many school canteens provide soto as their menu for school break. I ate soto almost every first break at junior high school.</div>

How fun to be a female. When we're kid we play cook with fake ingridient.<br />
Now, we know how enjoyable cooking can be. The famous American cooking book "The Joy of Cooking" really figure it out.<br />
Eventhough a lot of chefs are male, but million other male don't care about cooking.<br />
Females born with hormon that makes them love this kind of thing. So, thank's God.<br />
<br />
My mother teach me to cook the dishes I'll post in this blog. Mostly are Indonesian daily traditional food. Old recipes, but that's okay.<br />
A simple dish could be amazing, depend on how the cook. Remember Ratatouille?<br />
<br />
My ability is average, but I'm eager to learn.<br />
<br />
So, let's start the class:<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think, in the game of life, Childhood is a bonus stage from God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At kindergarten, I rarely watched our old colourless television.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I often played arround at my aunt's house, watched everything she watched like some dangdut tv program and adult sinetron though I didn't get it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Japanese cartoon hadn't enter my favorite list yet. So, my brain was still original, with no foreign cartoon intrusion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At that time, every night my father told me bedtime stories, kind of old local fairytales. So, we sleep together in one long room (now the room's almost collapse caused by earthquake).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There're two big bed for 5 of us. Sleep time was the time we had waited all day long, as if we wait to watch favorite tv drama.</div>

My father was really good in telling stories. It's flowing. No tv, but it felt like I watched a big cinema screen on my mind, every sceen was up to me, I mean about the setting, the faces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The title were: Kidang Talung, Bawang Merah Bawang Putih, Timun Mas (Golden Cucumber?), tens stories of Kancil Nyolong Timun (Mouse deer the Cucumber thief), Kancil Ngapusi Buaya, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Popok Beruk Keli, Belang Telon, Malin Kundang, Roro Jonggrang, wayang, and a lot more. Yes, I know all that stories before I fell asleep, created amusing dreams.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My favorite story besides fairytales were stories about the world outside, for example about pasar malam, country abroad, or story when my father wandering for job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Me and my young brother would cry like a baby if my father wouldn't tell stories. Besides stories, my father had plenty of riddle and magic trick collection, and also story telling with finger siluet on the wall when the electricity off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We always failed to answer the riddle or magic trick. What a kind father he is, He bought bunch of little toys for us when he get back from work by his bycycle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, my mother only knows one story titled The origin of "Tinggi" (tinggi is kind of bed louse). We weren't bored even she had repeated it for many night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yeah, all of those thing triggered me to had a better childhood imagination. Deepest thank's to my parent. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
.........After that period, tv played great role on my childhood world with american and japanese cartoon.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi there,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe I'll give a little short post, in this new year... How was my 2011? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the periode of my duty to be a secretary at HMTG FT UGM (student organization in my departement). I took that position though I'm not really confident in being a secretary, something that really not me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why was it so? First, I'm not an industrious and careful person, both are the basic needed requirement to a position which the job desks are concerning the meticulous administrative problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, I did learnt a lot. Anyway, HMTG is a good place to learn. For me, it's more look like a life miniatur of someone who tried to reach succeed. Many of enthusiastic and hardworker friends created many amazing programs. They all did and thought their best.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And what else?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, KKN. Two months from july - August, together with 19 other UGM's students, we did an obligatory task to dedicate our knowledge for the good of society. It could be a good idea, perhaps they wanted us to make change or bring solution to the community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, in reality, it was no really use. Plenty of uneffetive and useless time, with no great result. Or maybe it was just the case in my KKN.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05AbjNDbM3aUqEUrll94-_OYFeDsXJjdhC0GeNDK7dYTlwvFuVu7dmVNXmwG0Fwe-HHK6o6wD6AnG5fwYVvS73q1Eq0dmH71gUWDLdOqygHpnb_6xHqqW2qVaFWEMXT0MJL8Cv6L2QBO3/s1600/voli.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05AbjNDbM3aUqEUrll94-_OYFeDsXJjdhC0GeNDK7dYTlwvFuVu7dmVNXmwG0Fwe-HHK6o6wD6AnG5fwYVvS73q1Eq0dmH71gUWDLdOqygHpnb_6xHqqW2qVaFWEMXT0MJL8Cv6L2QBO3/s320/voli.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On top of everything, I do love the volley ball game in my KKN society. I call it: Great game, Great players! Okay, however chalenging the society is, for me KKN is over after 2 month and nothing really attach in my attention besides the volley game. It was a lot of bored.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I'm at the very very beginner level. I admit that it's a difficult language especially to hear! How fast and how unclear!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I'm allowed to wish, I wish someday I could understand and able to hear the french thoroughly. I'll be thrilled and delightful. If only I could take a course. But, a million thank to the internet. For me, internet is the "new" window to the wide world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tens of language websites with hundred of pages are available free to learn, by hearing mp3s, watching videos, pictures, games, flashes, softwares, books, and more!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We can do almost everything through the internet.</div>

At june 2011, I lost my Dell laptop and smart modem. Both are perfect and quite productive for me. Until one day at monday morning, when I got back from campus, I found my room's door was opened harshly, a lot of wood cutting on the floor. I was unbelievably saw no laptop above the table. Soon I realized what happened.</div>

I hate to loose something expensive and important, I searched it with every effort I could. Well, it's clear that I'm neither spy nor detective. Later, I understand that I shouldn't regret the incident. If you loose one, then just get a better one someday! Now? I'm using a 10" netbook, less responsive, less productive, too slow and not suit me. But, I'm grateful for this little help.</div>

This when was at 4th - 5th grade of
elementary. My drawing not really good, but not bad either. The reason is
becaused of my favorite magazine 'Bobo' often gave a bonus for several edition
such a set of mini town called 'Kota Kelinci'. The set comprise of
one base ground of the city made from glossy carton, then the houses, bridge,
restourant, school, and trees made from cork which we should arrange by our
self. Other building-like bonus was 'market bobo'. It
made from carton, comprise of one shopping trolley, then many different goods
was available. Me and my brother loved to play those sets. Then this dream
was getting bigger. I created a small two floor terraced house from carton. The
house complete with the interior design. There was a curtained window, a little
photo frame, a set of soft sofa made from cotton. The second floor was for
bedroom. My creativity seems raised again. The next I had an idea to
create a map of my village. I didn't know if that kind of work belong to
architectural work or not. That planitary map consist of every small roads and
houses in my village with the name of my buddies on each house, I didn't forget
to plot the mosque and the school on the map.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

neighbour brought a notebook contain a story the adventure of a kid and a bee. It's

admire his sister a lot. I always thought she's a genius. Her drawing was
excellent . I often imitated her japanese comic girl drawing. She schooled in
best school in Klaten. She's the one who introduced me with hollywood movie when
I was at 3rd grade.

make some short story. But I never finished any storry well. I wasn't a
good writer. Then I started other hobby, create comic book on my notebook. My
friend told me that it was good, but it never finished too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to had a lot of barbie cards collection. The cards size was 4 x 5 cm. I bought
them from the school yard. Then I created a barbie album. One page
for one barbie and I also gave the name & comment for each barbie. In
my 6th grade, inspired by Bobo I created my own magazine. I forgot the name.
The size was only 7 x 15 cm. The content is : a fairy tale, a short story, a
crossed riddle, general knowledge, a short fact, and an 'imagination test' quiz
plus a coupon inside to join the quiz. What a funny. The only one who read my
magazine was my young brother. And that was the last time I show my
desire to be a writer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

loved to read. The first novel I read titled 'Nabi Muhammad'. It's 300 pages. I
read it when I was at the 3rd grade, then continued with Harry Potter and the
soccerer's stone. I always curious with my father's book shelves. There was a
lot of bussiness book, though my father was one of the worst bussinessman ever.
I read those kind of book too without knowing the actual meaning. It just
because there's no other book. But my father sometimes bought story book from
his office (elementary school).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The word 'adventure' was my favorite. I imagined
using advanced technology to fight the crime. Using the weapon,
armed with the multifunction wacth and glasses, operate jet plane,
decoding, fight with kung fu. This was inspired by Spy Kid movie released in
2001, at my 5th grade. I like the role of Carmen on that movie. She's smart and
cool. Carmen also had a young brother like me. My other imaginary
job was to be a </span><span style="color: red; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IN; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">hero</span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IN; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> like in the

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;">Almost one year I didn't write for this blog. Now am I changing or what? Sure I
do, I believe that every person must change in every second of their step, not to be another person but a better person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's check about my condition now :</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I feel now is a
huge boredom. A super duper boredom, caused by my own choice to have a lot of
extra spare time. Never in my mind I thought that studying in geology could
have this kind of situation. In this 7th
semester, I only take one subject - Petroleum geochemistry - I interested in
petroleum basically, and also the nice lecturer. Beside that one subject, I also
take my mini thesis to accomplish my undergraduate degree study. My topic is
rather unusual. It's about the origin of lithology used in Borobudur temple. I
fight against my self to decide whether this topic is right or wrong for me,
maybe I'll tell about it later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The point of all of
it, is that formally I only go to campus one day in a week! It's my beautiful
Tuesday which I will meet my friends and my awesome lecturer, hearing stunning
explanation about petroleum system and it's geochemistry. Beside Tuesday, I
have no persist schedule. With the natural behaviour of mine that actually I'm a lazy girl, I almost doing nothing in my
daily, except watch movies and read novels. Plus, this semester stupidly I'm not
taking any opportunity to be assistant in
laboratory like I did last semester.
What was I thinking? Tired of learning...? I never tired of learning ,
but the burden in learning environment sometime
heavier than the learning it self.
Studying should be just light and fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Than I want to
take an English course to help me learn conversation formally. But I still need
other activity. One different that I realize on my psychology is, that now I
feel like I want to meet as many people as I can, talk and smile to more person.
I hate doing nothing in my room. It's different if I remember that usually I
always deny on people rather than come to them gladly and smile. By the way I
learnt this from someone, a dancer I watch in American 'so you think you can dance'. She
always smiling sincerely with her heart, and her smile is so loud that it
spread fast to the room and then everyone
also smiling too. Her smile is
affecting. She said she is a positive person, who always laugh and smile, think
positive on anything. For me it's a damn inspiration. I try to learn from everything I met in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, that's why this
course is not enough, but I have no other idea how to spent my lot-of-spare
time. Other choice, is the library. Of course I have to go there
many times looking for references. But who will I meet in there? a little of
other students and thousands of books.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My head could have
explode by now, if I'm not considering poring this to my blog. Explode of
boredom. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used to want to
immediately graduate or go away from this campus. I still want to, but.. There's something I have to do first before
someday I leave. Something is missing and I have to find it soon. Something I
have to take away on my ride.</div>

If you don't know the song, simply read the lyric is enough to show the power of these song. Well, the first titled, " Right to be wrong". Coincidently I found this song after my KL (Kuliah Lapangan) lecturer check out my KL poster for first consultation before the poster be displayed in about the next 2 weeks. And he found too many mistakes on my work, althoughI think I had already done it as good as I can. He detailly check it and scratched many part of it with his pen to correct it. Almost in all sections had something wrong on it. Yes, I look awfully stupid that time. But this is very important since KL is 4 SKS (credits) and cost 5 million in average. I wont give a damn or too puzzled if it isn't cost that expensive. I realized I had a willing to be an expert, but the way I am now is too far from that hope.

What a lucky person to have such great ability. Such person won’t often feel sad and embarased for too long. One way to do it is forgetting suck thing that had happened although it’s never easy. My treatment of forgetting things is by drowning my self into busy day. Doing business we like makes everythings seems okay.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Bo_3m3RoqQWv6AbzIk_ZVeS1gt9yV2JjMIiRp8DZ_ei7Zv5EfLeN4hrmyEaPI8pcHzo7bepCKohSu4YjtSM4klmgdBDpWxKTm43wEVlNwZEhg8Qb78ZtnXXGGdit06RRAv7kj9sgtsQR/s1600/Depress_by_Ishi_puccu.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Bo_3m3RoqQWv6AbzIk_ZVeS1gt9yV2JjMIiRp8DZ_ei7Zv5EfLeN4hrmyEaPI8pcHzo7bepCKohSu4YjtSM4klmgdBDpWxKTm43wEVlNwZEhg8Qb78ZtnXXGGdit06RRAv7kj9sgtsQR/s400/Depress_by_Ishi_puccu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531079878752804866" border="0" /></a><br />Well, this semester we learn 8 interesting subject. Analitic Stratigraphy; Geologic Research Methode; Religion; Geology of Indonesia; Philosophy of Knowledge; Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology; Geo Gomputation; and Geo Chemistry. This 5th smester is kind of a free half year. Yes we are busy of maintaining our KL data analysis, interpretation and of course data visualization, but in the other hand our lecturing schedule’s containing many spare time. And I take anvantage of it by being an asistant in Dynamic Geology Laboratory for Basic Geology subject. This new hit likely taking over my time badly. I ‘m assist about 120 new student to help them recognize the basic principle of geology. Wondering how apparently I really enjoy explaining everything I’m capable of. Explaining’s fun. Looking at those innocent face, recall me back into my early year of struggling in geology. They get everything easier now, how could they still busy of beefing this and that too. If only they knew what happened to my first semester. But these days, I realize something that perhaps very related to comfortable feeling. That is, to be appreciated, to be respected. I love to share my knowledge to them, my ability being appreciated. I never perceive being appreciated like this before. Really never.<br /><br />Then, I’ve a plan to make my days even busier by learning spain. I thought spain’s the best choice considering it’s the easiest foreign language to learn for a zero newbie. I realize perhaps Franc or Deuch is more popular and widely used here, but remembering the difficulty of those two language I think it’s really hard to master. Anyway, Spain’s more beautiful to hear, and simple to learn, that my target is to master at least 2/3 of it in less than 2 year. I wonder if my plan will going right or the opposite. I know this is good for me, and the point is I want to get busier than now.<br /><br />Actually, I’ve one more responsibility to be a guide or asistant for islamic sharing group in my campus. It’s okay for me to talk or speech in front of those new students, but to talk about Islam? Despite of it could be a positive business, but, I don’t think I could. My position now is currently farther from God, if I compare with when I was in senior high where I was so excited to learn holy Quran everyday. I’m not reading Quran everyday now. Also I completely aware that my sholat’s not as good as in my past which I was being so humble and khusyuk in communicating with God. This is awfuly bad degradation, I know. And if I stay like this, sure will be very dangerous for my afterlife. I’m feeling emptiness. In my deepest, I do really want to change, yet I perceive dont know where to start. I’ve to wake up from this first. Thats why I reject the invitation to be the guide, and nevertheless I want more time to handle my KL data.<br /><br />By far, after more than two year studying here, finally I understand how this world could strictly turn us up and down in a certain period of time. Because, this is the world of chalenge, where demand is everywhere. We can’t just acting like a kid with no responsibility to be completed, which our duty is just to play outside the house with our friends and then laugh. The world outside the house now could killing us softly by it’s hardness. When the world seems unfair and I feel uneasy of everything, I’ll just remember that the terrible won’t last forever. God won’t ever let us feel sad for to long. That’s what I believe now. All I got to do is find a way to cure my self when something bad happened. Like what I’ve told before. I really need the ability.Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-85082827797980193092010-09-17T10:06:00.005+07:002010-09-17T11:14:30.526+07:00Hammer on My Left Waist<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span xmlns=""><p>I see my self this time. I'm a geological engineering student and I got to deal with the hardness of field work, though honestly I feel I'm not really own a high sensitivity on anything related to the field. So how could I survive on this kind of work? Let's see how time would help me, as I see it needs a long experiences and filedtrips on many more geologically challenging places. Anywhere in Indonesia seems like incredible places to learn geology . Thankfully we have a complete packet already containing vulcanoes, mountainering , valleys, streams & rivers, cliffs, lake, beach with dunes or coral, caves and outcrops, that available and waiting unpatiently to be observed.</p></span><br /><span xmlns=""><p>This mind bother me after I undergo Kuliah Lapangan Program which include 12 days KL Bayat, 3 days regional geology excursion on at least passing accros two basin (Yogyakarta Basin and East Java Basin), and the last was Individual Geological Mapping located in 65 <span style="font-size:85%;"> <span style="font-size:78%;"> </span></span>different kavlings for each student. My kavling was at Padas Subdistrict, Ngawi, East Java. In this program we taught how to work as a real geologist, and definitelly it much harder than theories we used to learn at class. Some lessons I captured were that geology's an expensive work so that we must have a strong dicipline and hard work, no beefing, not afraid of hot or rainy weather or even extreme field, and pay attention on field data accuracy. How important the data is like keep the data as keep our soul! Hah..</p></span><br /><span xmlns=""><p>Many lecturers involved in this program, they taught us how to use compass for measuring the strike and dip of rock bedding also for determining our exact location by shooting two possitions of points in front of us that recognizable on topographic map; then how to use hammer for rock sampling; noting and plotting datas we got from the field including morphology, petrology and structural geology datas; next was doing measured stratigraphic for detail analysis and interpretation of depositional environment, the age of rock and also integrated historical geologi.</p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span xmlns=""><p> </p></span></div><span xmlns=""></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span xmlns=""><p> </p></span></div><span xmlns=""><p> </p><p> </p></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span xmlns=""><p> </p></span></div> <span xmlns=""></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span xmlns=""><p> <span><span xmlns=""><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI131svSwsCxWSg5oBbGwx6wM1RlA0WuoaJucjn5JAgELEBHgpsRwjpKQ2ulM5FXYobwG9NvN00b-SvFKK9L7Kpdb_Z4E54zBQJrtWPa6qQbSZACCfRNlvS8XjEgQY1g7XZyZIVGi2BRa4/s1600/3345015970_2833b2ffa2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 361px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI131svSwsCxWSg5oBbGwx6wM1RlA0WuoaJucjn5JAgELEBHgpsRwjpKQ2ulM5FXYobwG9NvN00b-SvFKK9L7Kpdb_Z4E54zBQJrtWPa6qQbSZACCfRNlvS8XjEgQY1g7XZyZIVGi2BRa4/s400/3345015970_2833b2ffa2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517714652036499074" border="0" /></a></span></span></p></span></div><span xmlns=""><p><br /></p><p><br /><span><span xmlns=""><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" > <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span></span></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span><span xmlns=""><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span></span></span></span></p></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span xmlns=""><p> </p><p></p><div style="text-align: right;">Geo Hammer: One Weapon for Geologist<p></p><br/><br/><br/><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">In Bayat we once again introduced about "tired" as one of geologist bestfriend. We walked all day long on our mapping area with the widht of 2 x 2 km from 7 am until 5 pm for about 10 days. My legs was felt like going to broken. My back was never as painful as it was. Yeah, mostly Bayat felt like a hell for me, especially the earlier days. As usual, I didn't feel comfort with such a thing, that's why I always got to bed earlier compared to other girls. But, a lot of memories I can remember from that 12 days. </div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The following program was regional geologic excursion . We had trips around Yogyakarta, Wonosari, Kendeng Zone, Rembang Zone and the surrounding. It was quite relaxing, not as heavy as in Bayat. We just came into one stop site, doing a little observation and then hearing explanations from lecturer, and moved to another stop sites. I prefer to record the explanation than to made notes, as I mentioned before that I was very easy to get tired or get sleepy when the day hot, and then my concentration and focus were gone, my mind think slower and bla bla, especially when I worked in group, things are different when I worked individualy that I could only depend on my self, it push me to stay awake and focus.... huft, yeah I don't know that Geology could be this difficult. Anyhow, I'm really proud to bring hammer on left waist, and say, I'm a field worker!.... :D<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span xmlns=""><p>And finally we had arrived to the most important part, that is individual geologic mapping. I'm so lucky to had my own porter to help me doing my mapping. He gots everything easier, starting from driving me during the proccess, help me memorize the strange little paths wandering the forest, until sampling many rocks to be observed more precissely on campus laboratories (Optical Geology & Paleontology Labs). My group comprise of five people. We're living for about 12 days in a comfortable basecamp in Bringin Subsdistrict. I love to be together with them, basically we're all some sort of lazy people (but we all had high intention to be smarter <span style="font-family:Wingdings;">J</span>) that lined up in one appropriate group. I really feel comfort with that fact, because I hate to be pressed, I want to get free and relax in a while too. But it's still long long way to go until this mapping fully done. Data processing is my next challenge to comprehends all that I got from the field. The presentation will be held at Desember or January next year if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully everything will going right for me.</p></span><br /><span xmlns=""><p>Here in this mapping , I'm helped and guided by one of my lecturer that I think He's awesome and great regarding his fantastic life experience. I always love hearing stories like that. It felt like fairytales to me, but could give me inspiration and more power to confidently moving foward better reaching what I deserve to. Questions often bugging my head, something like," will I be like him", or, "look at your self now, what's on earth to make you feel like you are going to enter one of that Big Fishes? Or even the small one!!". To be honnest I feel like having nothing to be sell to them. Yes I have, I meant, I now how my self is, but it's hard to show my energy up. Reading in many geologist blogs, it seems that entering geology is very promissing decision, but for me it also frightening and fearing. Or probably I just hate the demand. Anyway, life's full of demand, isn't it? Eventhough underpressure life is something that definitely being a burden to my shoulder, but sometimes I have an excited time enjoying adrenaline rush living under that burden. I'll going crazy if I think negatively all the time, right? Push and push positive mind to stay survive.. :)</p></span><br /><span xmlns=""><p> </p></span><br /></div><br /><span xmlns=""><p><br /></p></span></span></div>Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-43121847247459037032010-06-11T12:36:00.003+07:002010-06-11T12:39:56.540+07:00The Morning of 27th May<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS1Ed3R3m-ZB5CQBnMHyhIQS9yRawnF4YoDx-rN4CU7rnPGv49zI86ZxElaKjbMPSCOoSSY-zMUxq5LlsfO5jSpUL1O3Q6J43de4mb-RBCIk0Kyczuw7KipMqMVY8miTziy_ZA-O11Pc7p/s1600/earthquake.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS1Ed3R3m-ZB5CQBnMHyhIQS9yRawnF4YoDx-rN4CU7rnPGv49zI86ZxElaKjbMPSCOoSSY-zMUxq5LlsfO5jSpUL1O3Q6J43de4mb-RBCIk0Kyczuw7KipMqMVY8miTziy_ZA-O11Pc7p/s320/earthquake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481386117286933314" /></a><br />Four years ago, I still on my sweet dream sleeping - even it was already 6 am - when I finally woken up by huge trill felt like tens of giant elephants running through my side yard. I didn’t realize what happened yet until I felt dusts falling me from the upstairs, when I looked up I saw clearly the high wall of my room was terribly shakes forward and backward. My eyes suddenly wide open and my body forced to moving fast, jump from my bed, I run and run as fast as I could like crazy. Like something going to kill me. My house is typical large old fashioned Javanese house, and with the condition of such urgent situation it felt really took long time for me to reach the door to get outside. I swear. When I run on the hall, I saw all goods were messed up and mussy so I jump over the goods. The hall was very bright and full of sun light since it no longer had roof attached. The roof was fly over everywhere due to the shake of the earthquacke. Then, I got to pass the kitchen to get outside. When I was there I found no one, and stupidly I thought “Where’s everyone? Am I actually the only one who live on earth?”, hah, I was so insane. I don’t know how to explain but the situation in the house was very very silence eventhough the sound of the trill was like a trucks parade. Then, finally I could get out after hearthstopping minutes of struggle to stay survive. Apparently everyone has got out before me, my family forgot that I was still inside when everybody already outside. My nighbours especially the mothers were crying and hugging each other and said “Allahuakbar” many times. They put their worth goods like electronics outside the house. <br /><br />In that point, I still unrealize how big the earthquacke was. I thought it was just the same as before. Until I decide to went inside again to find some drink or maybe continue my sleep because I really felt tired. Afterwards, when I open the door to get inside I felt really shocked! like the earth was no longer rotating on it axis! I saw my living room no longer had a separator wall between living room and family room. I swear the wall was very long and it all collapse, just leaving behind thousand of clay bricks and dust. Then I understood something, fortunatelly the wall collapse to the right direction. If it collapse to the left, it supposed to hit me when I run along the hall. Thank’s God. But, I couldn’t believe. My place to live since I was a baby was broke down. It miserably messed up! All the cupboard and the table, chairs and everything were fall down and collapse. I never saw my house that horrible before. At that point, I realize that it was real disaster!<br />I canceled to get into the house. Instead, apparently my father was nowhere! Everyone panic and worry if my father was in the collapse wall. But Alhamdulillah he saved, resting in the back yard because he couldn’t walk, his asthma relapse. <br /><br />Very soon, in the unstable condition sudddenly people heard news that the earthquacke will create a tsunami and the wave was on it’s way heading our local position! Then my mind was fullfilled by the photograph of the chilling Aceh’s tsunami disaster. I couldn’t think clearly anymore. It was the most horrible situation that I ever had. Everyone’s looked pale and speechless like receiving a real death message. Honestly, I really scared at that moment. The headmaster of our villlage shouting and asking everyone to leave the house and quickly move to the higher place – Gunung Mudjil – using motorcycle or averything available. I know this seems ridiculous, but if you at the same position you will understand how real and scary it was. Later, I was ready with my motorcylcle and helmet. I asked my father to join me, together find higher place, but he kept on his decicion not to leave the house. He worried about the safety of our goods, hah, my father! How could he thought about saving goods? Saving life is the first importance for sure! Several minutes I persuaded him to leave, but he persistent “ I’ll hold on the branch if the wave come”, he said. What? Didn’t he think that the speed of tsunami could reach km? Then what a branch was for?<br /><br />And finally I leave him. My mother together with other mother prefer to walk to the big mosque of ours, because we know a mosque in Aceh could stand still until the wave over. She brought only blanket and pillow. My old brother ride motorcycle too. Then I realize my young brother was gone. I searched for him in the crowded but no result. Nobody knows where he was. All I could do was pray for his safety. My eyes was staring forward, curious and wondering if it would end up alright or the opposite. Right before we were ready to leave, a police truck came along and stop us with a speaker. He said that the tsunami was only rubbish issue. The 5, 6 richter scale “Yogyakarta earthquacke” was unable to create a tsunami to our position which located at the valley with mountainering all around which could hold on the wave. Even the magnitude was big enough, but the depth also great so we could neglected tsunami threat. Afterward, We all could breath relievely.<br /> <br />Earthquacke is a pulsation or vibration that caused by subduction plate (in case between Australian oceanic plate and Eurasia continental plate ) which wedging each other, so the energy accumulated at the wedging area. And eventually when the energy release, will create a sudden movement of the plate that cause pulsation. The vibration magnitude will spreads as circle wave reaching as far as it can until the energy of the wave become slower and slower. How big the earthquacke felt extremely depend on how far and deep the hiposentrum and also kind of basement lithology under our house. It will feels more shaky if the basement lithology is loose sediment, not hard rock. Just observe at google earth, clearly we live above subduction zone, be aware that earthquacke can happen anytime with any unpredictable magnitude. There’s no invention today can explain precisely where and what time an earthquacke will happend. It’s difficult to learn the tention of tectonic plate activities. But, nothing is imposible, someday who knows?<br /><br />The earthquacke responsible for many failure houses and several injured people in my village. Starting from that day, everything was never be the same again. The continuation earthquacke keep happening. At evening my brother and I take some trip arround, nobody brave enough to stay inside the house even until several days after. Each family slept and cooked on the veranda, with no light at all. No longer after, many help came from other area bringing us blanket, instant noodles, tents, and other food. I never imagine before that I would receive such help in term of disaster. We also got money from government to recover the houses. <br />Well....that’s my story, about one horrible incident. Eventhough, I really gratefull for the safety of my family.Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-26019818284343364552010-05-15T12:37:00.004+07:002010-05-15T13:10:47.634+07:00About Mind and LifeI just, currently feeling uncomfort when I write this post. I often recall my past, and then worried about the future and everything. I hate the words “what if...”. Hah, apparently I’m already out of my mind. You know when I feel desperate, I often write it down, then I'll sit alone on my corner and cry sometimes, or just go to bed and try to sleep and wish it all over when I wake up. These days, I more realize that I must not behave like this, must change. Sometimes I feel tired of dreams, I’m tired of life. Yeah of course, nothing perfect, people say. Life supposed to be flowing like water, let it find it’s own way to flow, not forced to be like this or that. Because life is only once, and what a miserable if the one oportunity is full of stress and fear.

<br />
<br />But the last day I know something reflecting fact that actually I’m not alone. In facebook, I ever added a hypnotherapist to become my friend. I didn’t acquainted with him, I just interest when I saw his ability in “reading” the mind of terorists. A unique talent, isn’t it? Yet it’s not a talent at all, it could be learned. And he’s not reading mind exactly, but he is a master concerning thing about psycology, mind, and I bet he is one of Indonesian best hypnoterapist, I see him so profesional. And the point is, he knows why people become happy and sad, or why some people are very confident and some other are mousy.
<br />
<br /></br>
<br />One day on his status, he invited people to follow his hearth therapy program , “ You must be very tired to keep your hidden problem, don’t you? Why it’s hard for you to change your bad nature, your bad fate?” it said on the first line advertisement. There, I thought wether actually averybody has a secrete hiden problem, like the advertisement said. If you ever watch remarkable movie ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’, at the begining scene on a crowded road Christ saw everyones faces, which looks so damn happy to him. And he wondering why couldn’t he looks like that. Now, I think Christ was wrong, because maybe behind those happy faces they actually save a heavy hidden problems for long period, who knows. I mean, I can’t imagine a life without problems. Allah said that the problems overburdened to us is appropriate with our ability to handle it. So what to worry?
<br /></br>
<br />On another facebook status, the hypnotherapist asked about how well we understand our mind. He explained that mind devided into several part, they are visual, logic, spatial, rhyme or tone, language, colour, habit, imagination, feel, drive (push): anger, fear, love, paradigm, intuition, belief system, self concept, self image, self esteem, and memory. The most important is ‘memory’ which located at neo cortex and mostly control our life next. Life experience, including everything happened in daily, what we see and what we hear, all are included into ‘memory’. And all that factors would affect to someone’s basic character, wether somebody is a confidence, a denial, a playboy, a matrialist, a safety player, an away from (dodge), a drunkard, a mousy, an achievement pursuer, a thinker, a detail, a creator, a people person, a system person, and many other kind of mind pattern. Totally, are exist 81 main pattern from 17 basic pattern. Well, I’m
<br />quite curious what kind of meta mind profile do I have. What kind of person I am?
<br /></br>
<br />Knowing this pattern will let us know how the paradigm of an individu, a community, the step of a company, a terorist, the aim of a nation, and much more. And for sure we can change everything we want to change in our way of life by understanding that pattern. That’s what offered by the ‘hearth theraphy program’. From here, the theraphy program can help those who broken hearth, reveal somebody’s talent, sub modalities, intention, tendency, etc. Because perhaps actually many people want to change or solve ‘something’ lying beneath his hearth. I got all about this just from the hypnotherapist’s facebook status. Before, I never thought that in this world are exist such detail knowledge about mind and it’s real application. Wow, I really amazed. Now, I understand that my bad nature or characteristic that I really want to remove is affected especially by my past environment and my family. But I already grow up, I musn’t blaming anything.
<br />Just moving forward even it’s hard.
<br /></br>
<br />So what is lying beneath my hearth? Need I share it here? I’m not that type of person. Sometimes I thought, how dare the destiny, other day I thought how lucky I am. Then, I only share my problem with God after pray sholat, only with God, really. These days my communication with Him not always run smooth, I’m being bad or something like that, I don’t know. Too much worldly thing in my brain, o my...But He always granted my prayer, almost all of my prayer, really. Thank’s God. Need a guide. Please stay beside me, always.

This Iranian movie included to 'my Best' folder and impressed me some much with the unusuality. I do recommend this movie to watch, I guarantee you won't regret spending your time scanning it's every part. I loves it's every part. Last holiday, at Video Ezy I rent the CD with not any single guess of wether exist an incredible thing inside the unatractive cover. Eventhough the main story is not clear and ended with unclear resolution too, I wasn't dissapointed at all. You may hard to find out what this film trying to say, or ask "Is really there a plot in this movie?". But in my point of view, the basic concept of Turtle can Fly is very simple, that is to let the world know the daily life of childrens in war or conflict area. Nevertheles, you're totally wrong to think that the movie only provides sorrow, I was startled to saw a lot of cheerfullnes on their orphane faces. Their parent's died at war, some of the kids even lose their organ. But children is children, they need to laugh, or perhaps they already accustome with pain until they got numb to feel it again. All the main character are VERY CUTE kids with the age ranging from about 1 until 13 years old. What surprising me was that almost all the player wasn't artists, instead they're really revugees of Iraq – America war victims. One of them got only one leg (Pashoow), the other one even really loose both of his arms (Hengove), and there're also a blind baby (Riga). With their inadequacy they still could laugh happily!. I couldn't believe at first that they're only amateurs due to their enchanting acting ability and performance!! I swear, they all must get award on their piece of work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I haven't mention the best part of it yet. The one who made the movie so valuable is the outstanding character of Satellite (Soran Ebrahim). He is so Amazing, I'm his fan now. Satellite showed me the most honest leader I ever saw. He's only 13 years old but he aware with conflict happened in his surrounding and able to manage the whole Kanibo revugees village with his idea. Yes, he is a spiritfull children who seems played the most important role in the village. That's because his ability in installing the satellite; translate the english war news for the Kanibo's inhabitant; organized about 30 childrens to work by collecting dangerous boobytraps around the valley then sold them to fulfill daily needs and weapons; then he also order the childrens to made a place to saved waeapons and to spy on enemies when the war come. Everything under his command. Satellite's a very sharp and firm leader, but he really loves his followers with honest and the followers also love him. Especially Pashoow and Shirkoov. Shirkoov also great in acting, he often cry for Satellite.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually the story begin when Satellite met Agrin and fell in love with her at first sight. Agrin was the sister of fortune teller boy Hengove. I think she rather psycho after what happened to her at the previous war. A soldier killed her parent then raped her. She got a child from the incident, a blind baby named Riga. She loves but hates Riga, because Riga was her children from the man who killed her parent. That's weird posisition made me called her a psycho. Several times she tried to killed that cute baby, by hitting him or bind his feet to a tree alone. But satellite and his follower always saved him from death. It's breathtaking when Satellite trying to saved Riga out from the boobytraps area, but the rescue was over when Satellite stepped over a boobytraps!! It's explode heavily but fortunatelly the wound not too serious as what happened to Pashoow until he had to amputated his leg. Satelite never knows what Agrin had done until that time. The story tragically ended when Agrin finally could kiiled riga by bind Riga's feet to big stone then throw the stone into the deep lake.! What a horrible girl she is! Poor Riga was drowning 'till death. The next, Agrin decide to suicided. The sad part of the movie always in Agrin side. The opposite, Satellite side always shows spirit and cheerfullness.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For me, watching this movie is similiar to watching a potography exhibition. The geology scenery was awesome with many of valleys and high cliff, the dry condition showed that the region mostly controled by wind blow. The angle of shooting very appropriate to leave dramatic impression on the picture. All looks dramatic. How couldn't? I believe that childrens of America, Japan or Indonesia or other safe country never live under the fear of some rudals could get down into their roof anytime. They also never dealing with collecting boobytrap to get money , learning to use mask to prepare for chemical attack, loosing an organ because of bomb attack, or learing how to use weapon. Childrens learn how to use weapon....My God.. This movie will open our eyes of what really happen in other side of our hemisphere.<br /></p></span>Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-46806462816692675262010-02-13T14:44:00.002+07:002010-03-10T21:44:28.610+07:00Stories From The List<span xmlns=""><p>I've found new way to enhance my english fluency, that is by read as much as I could. Though perhaps it could turn me into quieter person. Yes, I'm a quiet person already. But this methode is resolutive. Why? Because this is the very first time I read novels in english and I enjoy it. Really. I wonder why I could did it. Before, when I used to blogwalking in My Musings, not a second I ever thought I will do such thing like her – collecting bunch of english novels and read it-. But I did. Eventhough it's so confusing at the beginning concerning there were TOO MANY difficult words that I had never met before. But that's what exactly I looked for, improving my vocabularies. And it's okay, by understanding each points I could get the whole story easily. It surprising how easy it was.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also got a way to make sure I only read the qualified one, not a boring story which wasted my time, tired my eyes and ended with dissapointment. So to decide which would be my next target to read, I asked Mr. Google first about "the best novels all time". And there come the results of 100 best novel from the year of 1700ers until now. The list of masterpiece all time. It was fantastic to see the lists, the tittles very appealing like I couldn't be patient to open the book. The e-book I meant. I won't capable of buying books of course, or even rent it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've read the some on that list, <em>like Harry potter I</em>; <em>Angel and Demon</em>; <em>Da vinci Code</em>; and <em>Narnia II</em>. They all pretty good, but I had read them in indonesian. The three first english novel I've read were <em>Anne of green gable</em>; <em>The Memoirs of a Geisha</em>, and <em>The Kite Runner</em>. The two first is somemuch worthwhile. I love it a lot. Highly recommended. Really, It could affecting me in some way. I'll be very pleased to tell the plot here. And I would.<br /></p><p><br /> </p><p>The anne of Green Gable. Published in 1900s, this novel become fenomenal in Canada, and very affecting the national thought concerning education, especially for woman. In that period, this novel brought into hot issue disscussions in some University . Even the charming story last until today. Maybe some people called Anne of Green Gable as children tale, but besides the chilhood part, I assure you this is a wonderfull motivation story for student all ages. I totally admire the strong character of fussy Anne which bring colorfull life into it's surrounding. I think is hard to be like her, at least for me. Before the age of 12, Anne was a very miserable little skinny kid. The red headed girl looked so poor and pity. She have never saw her parents, then she lived with a mean family who pushed her to worked too hard with no single love and peace. She also had to looked after that family three twins kids. Anne didn't went to school, She didn't had a friend exept her imaginary friend. She only had one dirty clothes, never going to picnic, never eat gums, moreover ice cream. Some day the family sent her to an orphanage. No happiness ever happened to her. And finally a family accidentally adopted her.</p><p><br /></p><p>Due to her life experience, you must think that Anne must always feel gloomy and mourning her bad fate in a sad daydreaming everyday all day long. But not at all. She's not that type of person at all. This is what surprised me, I called it a rare unique character. I even bet she never really felt sad nevertheless her days was never as other kids fun days. This is because she had a specialization something called "imagination". Yes, her extraordinary imagination which sometimes exceed the limit always tickling me with funny, cheerfull and unusual way that difficult to be told here. She lived her life with imaginations, that's what kept her happy whatever happened to her.</p><p><br /></p><p>When Anne adopted by the kind family of Matthew Culberth and Marilla Culberth, they both surprised by the cheerfullness and fussyness of the kid. Anne is the most fussy character I've ever read. She can't stop of talking. It's usual for her to talked with loonngg centences and big words even she's a child. The way Anne talked wondered the surrounding of Avonlea. It definitely shows her Intelegent, although as a kid she also the naughty one too. The big words abundance pushed me to open my pocket dictionary often. The cleverness then would lead Anne into the smartes woman not only in Avonlea but also in Prince Edward Island. She never down with her life history. Never feel ashamed even the neighbourhood saw her unique attitude as strange at the first time. She moves with her own way to reach her dream. The story is fully entertaining and motivating. Two thumbs up!</p><p><br /></p><p>The next post I will retell the next amazing story!</p></span>Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-22480216522206483832009-11-28T22:28:00.000+07:002009-11-28T22:29:52.185+07:00Amazing Energy Saving with Brown’s GasToday, world need a solution of environmentally friendly and cheap energy. The restriction of oil reservoir, oil production & government subsidy of oil & gas raise the curiosity for other energy resource besides fossil fuel. Many scientists both national & international have enhanced the observation of alternative energy. There are many selection of it, for example the controversial nuclear energy; biogas, geothermal or other. Yet I think the best alternative energy is brown's gas, which actually has already been researched hundred years ago. Perhaps for some people it's rare to hear this kind of energy, but it clearly has a big potential to overcome energy crisis in Indonesia.<br />The term Brown's gas initially comes from an Australian named Yull Brown who dedicates his whole life to make Brown's gas commercially. Long before, Browns gas has observed by Nicola Tesla. Other researcher who observed is Stanley Meyer from US which got a patent on his method for the production of Oxygen - Hydrogen fuel gas in 1990. Firstly, Brown was inspired by Jules Verne's vision "There is fire in water". The basic principle, Browns gas is a non explosive of hydrogen and oxygen mixture that produced by water electrolysis process in a electrolyze tube which contain magnetic coiling to break the distillation water and baking soda mixture into a mixture of Hydrogen – Hydrogen - Oxygen (HHO) with very precise ratio of 2:1. Nevertheless this is 'still' not yet can be called a water fuel because the ready HHO gas must be flown into the hydrocarbon fuel space in order to mix the fuel and the Browns gas. This will extremely enhanced the fosil fuel burning energy. The electrolyze process it self will create a hydrogen explosion which boosted by fire flame from the busy. We can save more fuel from 30% until 90%.<br />The result is difference for variation of vehicle either motorcycle or car. Brief example, for Toyota Avanza 1 liter of fuel could reach 18km or save 40%, for Mitsubishi L300 1 liter of fuel could reach approximately 23,3 km or save about 90%. It’s remarkably thrift.<br />This incredible invention actually could be made by everybody in home since the equipment needed is simple. The manual books also available in the store and internet. Nowadays, there are several people in Indonesia who already practice and use Browns gas in their daily. Most of them share their experienced in the forum discussion and said that this kit works really well on their ride. The effect using Browns gas relative positive, the machine stay long lasting, smooth machine sound, and definitely clean residual gas. That's what make this kit environmentally friendly also contribute to global warming maintenance, moreover we know that the main factor of air pollutions come from vehicle gas emissions. The other impacts of using Browns gas are, mechanically sound design that will withstand daily use of the vehicle. As what I’ve said before it’s an increased gas mileage and money savings and also Very inexpensive and easy for a beginner. Produce the maximum amount of HHO or sometime called as oxyhydrogen or "Brown's gas". The Browns gas work with 99% of new and used vehicles on the market today whether it use fuel/carb injection, petrol, gas, or hybrids. It has been successfully proven can be used on vehicles around the world using petrol, diesel, or gasoline with faster vehicle acceleration and stronger torque or engine power. One of the unique is, it could works in freezing temperatures. It also able to eliminates engine "nock" or "ping". The important thing is it doesn’t damage the vehicle warranty. One of the practice is it can be removed or installed in minutes from our car's engine compartment. It will eliminate carbon deposits from unused fuel, the system can be build and distribute the kits for personal use or profit. <br />Comparing with different kind of energy, Browns gas could be considered as simpler since it do not need any abstraction like subsurface energy; self made (with manual); cheap (besides the kit we only need water & baking soda); cleaner and the most important this method has proved and adviced by many side especially by saving energy i. In abroad Browns gas largely produced by B.E.S.T Korea and B.E.S.T Norinco, China. In the future researchers plan to make it possible for Browns gas use not only for vehicle but also for more complicated machine such as injection machine, farming machine and miscellaneous industrial machine. It really possible to produces in Indonesia too, if we have a will and intention.<br />But it's too bad, the publication of Browns gas is very lack in Indonesia. Maybe the problem is, our people not really confident & disbelieve of the successfulness of such new technology or reluctant to taste something new. That negative thinking must be erased from our brain if we want to moving forward fast. At least we try, it's better than doing nothing. The government role is important here to let the whole public know about this invention by giving such elucidation from those who expert, of course governments need to support the development of this saving energy method. Imagine if the Browns gas is well developed in our public society. There will no more moaning about the expensive gasoline & solar, no more demonstration to force the government to reduce the oil price or increasing the subsidy. So the subsidy could be allocated to other field like education or better public serving. Public of Indonesia will gain prosperous, stop suffering from poverty and starvation. It’s no longer a dream.<br />In every discreet goal, there's always a sacrifice. The quintillion dollar value oil industry will undergo very big negative impact as Browns gas developed, although fossil fuel still needed to run the system perfectly. But, probably someday the invention raise toward the magic pure water fuel. Oil & gas will be neglected. Some people indicate this is the reason of the death of some alternative energy discoverer. If this work well, some people will disappointed, yet million other will thankful a lot. Actually this will be a challenge to oil industry to stay exist creatively even the situation's totally different, for example find other advantages of oil which can’t be substitute by other energy resource. Because nothing impossible. We must support everything which good for this country’s prosperity. Remember the elementary school lesson, the group importance is first, the personal importance is last.

How amazing her stability is at preserving the show exist for tens of year. One episode I watch something likely related to me. Education fee matter. This is what I'm about to tell.<br /><br />I won't critics anything here, just pouring my heart out maybe, about a very classic problem. Money.<br /><br />The Oprah's guest star that seri namely Suze Oman, a financial consultant & writer. She explained many about strategy in investation, money saving, how to solve home financial problem & how to make us feel whealthy (is it important??). She also give real solution to a mother who had broken her family financial up to 50% bankcrupty & has no enough to college her son. Then, why I feet the same matter? Hmm... Fortunately<br />nowadays, USA has special financial help programs that are the student loan, parent loan & parent loan plus. That such a great help!<br />In Britain, almost persist which government provide student dept for those who qualifide, that can be returned later when we already get a proper job.<br /><br />I totally have a willing to understand fact that Indonesia can't be compared to such giant countries. How many million more year 'till I'd given such huge fee help. No matter how often SBY told about our economic increase these year, at least for me, Indonesia's still badly poor. Low salary standart for civilan worker impressing that goverment really unapreciate civilan worker -esp teacher- competency. I swear I could feel it, goverment likely consider them as not important part. What a hurt...<br />Even nowadays certification program dropping a new hope for doubling teacher salary whose pass the requirement. But again, the difficult & complicated birocration seems playing around that new hope. My mother's certification support hasn't payed yet, although it's been 10 month late. I said to my father,<br />" Indonesia haven't enough money to inflate the salary, not that easy for a country to earn more & fullfill all the people willingness". And he countered, " this country has so much money......to be corrupted, by those who actually have already reach".Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-40391653279320911332009-10-17T15:05:00.001+07:002009-10-17T15:05:47.117+07:00Just a Classic ProblemEttyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-24936863958098162952009-08-29T11:48:00.001+07:002009-08-29T11:48:49.146+07:00Bus DynamicsEverything can be enjoyed.<br /><br />That's what stuck in my head everytime I'm on my ride back home, by bus of course. <br />I enjoyed to learn "the real indonesia's citizenry potrait" on the bus.<br />As long as I see, I'm the only one of my class who go home weekly by that kinda public transportation, everyone's ride their motorcycle home on weekend.<br />There's time it made me feel so unlucky & jealous. But I knew if we think positive actually all that scene has other atracting point of view to look at. The diversity.<br /><br />In my opinion, <br />big part of bus passenger is in medium-low economically which varies from employee, labour, student, traditional market seller, and just traveller who wanna visit someone. Those face generally looked 'poorer' than people outside the window who ride their motorcycle & car.<br />Other time my eyes touched looking too many of dirty-slovenly street childs along the road begging for a cent, sometime they just in while the bus stop on red lamp & start singing a moment with no instrument, just clapping their hand. Their inncocent voice heard so pity. It's weird to see they're quite happy. Maybe they think it's a game, or maybe they don't ever know other world besides street life. Hmm...<br /> <br />That hot-smelly-nasty city & intercity bus always succeed to made my head dizzy & spinning around. Another weird, it can be cured everytime I heard the singing beggar plays their guitar or drum. The singing beggar's not that bad mucician as what most people guess. They play it nicely, sing honestly, create a song creatively & uniqely 'bout their real hard life. Sometime I just vivify their own song. I bet they got some singing beggar training before due to their sistematic way & sentence to say hello to us. Uneducated made most of them behave out of the path, I'm understand that. I mean, I saw the woman smoking, the man tattooing, and many of them not fasting in ramadhan. The nature build their behaviour like that. What can we do?<br /><br />Another sadness is to see the bus retaillers sell their candy or book, and nobody buys it.<br />Ow, that face so pity & tired. Why they just don't search another better job? huft.<br /><br />Then about the bus crew. The competitiveness. Every bus try to pass & not to be passed by other bus. The eye ability to spy the bus ahead & behind, also the driving skill, is the main key. They often break the traffic rule & drive like racing on circuit!<br />'O my god, o my god, o my god, watch your step please!!', I said on my hearth sometime.Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092544846907406553.post-46448630639878070892009-08-19T07:15:00.001+07:002009-08-19T07:15:01.171+07:00August of IndependentI love my village. I just, really love it. What a very quiet, lonely, little village. The youth, boys & girls, not to everyone I got really involved & in touched with, but generally I pretty much like them all. They always be my nice friends since I was a baby & will always be. <br />It's different compared to my school mate which always come & go, or sometimes being forgotten (sorry!). <br /><br />Last couple days we held so many contest, as usual, to celebrate our nation 17th august independent day, Many of funny, silly & foolish contest were held for every grade from children to mothers & fathers. Some are just so common like cooking, some sports, 'menek jambe' and much others, yet it's not that important to think that way, it's throughtout about laugh & cheerness. All the dumb. Just feel the once a year hullaballoo situation.<br />Lucky me, many of my buddies stucked & 'trapped' in Jogja so they can't joining the throng in their own far away home. August in the dormitory? What's the essence about that?<br /><br />One day I got very sick that stop me stepped to the contest field, I badly contaged influenza virus from my brother & father. Hmm, is this what they call 'together in pain'? Aarrgh! <br />Quite realize it was real flu epidemic. It seems everyone's sick including half of my family. God!<br /><br />Well,<br />yesterday was the formidable 17th august! It's is our beloved nation's independent day! What a day! I always love august. I realize from tens to hundreds year ago thousands of brave soldier forced to sacrifice their precious red blood to reach Indonesia's Freedom! Perhaps they had a wife, childrens & family whom they left behind. Can't imagine how sad it was. Dear, they die for the nation, for justice, for a better life! my God.. Then what I'm doing now? What can I do anyway..<br />My Indonesia,<br />I just wanna wish you the best. I do really really love you so much, muah muah..! If only I could I will do anything for you, I will. Thank's a bunch for being my motherland, my heaven to live, my place to grow up, thank you. I hope in your every single bone, you'll get better, keep fighting & keep being an amazing country. I see you can do it, I see.<br />I just love to eat your food, I'm glad to hear your national songs, I'm happy to know your nice people.<br />Yes you have already gave me a lot of nice things, but I haven't do anything..feels so ashamed.<br />Anyway, for INDONESIA,<br />Happy 64th anniversary,<br />You are everything for us!Ettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06536073116840595955noreply@blogger.com0
