already got the freedom?

for me, that is a difficult question to be answered.

first, we have to know what kind of freedom we mean.

then, try to answer it one by one after you can find the whole definition of freedom.

well, I think that's in my own moron opinion :p

I just wanna say happy birthday for my country, Indonesia.

so many things happened from centuries to centuries here.

hopefully, the real pure and responsible government will exist and lead the people to the true freedom.

I love my country, for sure.

but the government, I still can't give my love for you.

even for a cent of my love.

P.S. even GOOGLE "celebrates" Indonesia's independence day!! :p

Museum?Why not?

 

Banyak orang mengerutkan kening ketika mendengar kata "museum". Beberapa mungkin akan berkomantar bahwa museum adalah tempat kuno dan nggak banget untuk dikunjungi sebagai tujuan untuk hanging out bersama teman-teman atau keluarga. Akan tetapi, sebenarnya banyak hal yang dapat didapat dari museum, selain spot yang bagus untuk berfoto bersama.

Seperti semua orang tahu, museum adalah tempat dimana benda-benda bersejarah disimpan sehingga semua orang yang ingin mengetahui seluk beluk peristiwa pada masa lalu dapat dengan mudah mendapatkan informasi. Selain itu kecintaan seseorang terhadap seni maupun sejarah bangsanya akan muncul dengan sendirinya karena museum merupakan tempat yang digunakan sebagai bentuk penghargaan terhadap karya-karya yang luar biasa dan peristiwa yang terjadi di sebuah daerah atau negara. Di negara Belanda ada suatu event khusus selama satu minggu penuh yang bertujuan untuk mempromosikan museum kepada khalayak umum. National Museum Weekend merupakan acara yang diselenggarakan serentak oleh seluruh museum yang ada di Belanda untuk memanjakan masyakarat yang ingin menonton berbagai koleksi benda-benda seni maupun benda-benda bersejarah se-antero Belanda (National Museum Weekend in Netherland). Dan acara tersebut dapat dinikmati oleh seluruh masyarakat, mulai dari anak-anak sampai orang dewasa. Menarik bukan?

Menurut sumber diatas, kurang lebih 500 museum memamerkan koleksi-koleksi yang ada dan semua dapat menikmati karya seni dan sejarah bangsa yang masih terawat dengan baik. Museum di Belanda pun terbagi menjadi beberapa bidang dengan baik, sehingga masyarakat dapat mengunjungi museum-museum yang sesuai dengan minat mereka (Museum Category). Apa yang membuat museum-museum yang jumlahnya tidak bisa dibilang sedikit itu masih bisa berdiri dan menjadi salah satu tempat yang wajib dikunjungi bila sedang berada di Belanda? Selain merupakan bentuk penghargaan terhadap karya-karya seniman bangsa dan hasil budaya bangsa itu sendiri, museum-museum di Belanda memiliki perawatan yang baik. Pemerintah memberikan anggaran tersendiri untuk perawatan museum-museum tersebut untuk keperluan penilitian, belajar, dan rekreasi. Maka bagi para pelajar dan peneliti tidak perlu pusing-pusing mencari sumber belajar dan penelitian karena di museum pun menyediakan semua hal tersebut, baik realia (bendanya itu sendiri) maupun berbagai naskah informasi yang mendukung serta museum guide nya itu sendiri (dana museum).

Tidak berhenti sampai di pendanaan untuk perawatan museum saja, promosi pun dilakukan dengan planning yang matang sehingga masyarakat tertarik untuk berkunjung ke museum dan menikmati benda-benda yang dipamerkan. Jadi tidak hanya pengetahuan masyarakat saja yang kaya, tetapi pola pikir pengelola museum dan pemerintah Belanda sendiri pun bertambah kaya. Tidak banyak negara-negara di dunia dan pengelola museum memikirkan hal sedetail itu (museum and the treatment). Biasanya museum hanya dikelola secara biasa-biasa saja tanpa memperhatikan dana khusus untuk perawatan serta promosi yang terencana dengan baik. Ide pengelolaan museum tersebut dapat menjadi contoh bagi Indonesia untuk melakukan hal yang sama dengan museum-museum yang kita miliki. Rata-rata orang Indonesia malas berkunjung ke museum karena tempatnya yang tidak nyaman untuk dikunjungi atau bahkan tidak tahu akan adanya museum tersebut. Perawatan yang baik dan promosi unik yang dilakukan di negara Belanda sepertinya dapat menjadi contoh bagaimana menghargai karya seni dan hasil budaya bangsa dengan semestinya.

I wish....

a little talk with my friends today reminded me about my true dreams, about what I really want to be for real...

I wish I could turn back time and convinced my parents that I could be a successful person if I followed my heart....
but it seems that it's already late....
hmmm just,finish 'em all then....
no matter what they say,I'll prove to them that I can do that!!!
get up ya girl!!!! ;)

be more patience

I wonder why I meet some, ummm, unexpected things/events recently.
what makes me easily annoyed is that those things/events are testing my patience A LOT!
well, life is about tests, I know that. but I expect some other stuff beside patience test.
really, you can give me any tests but not that one. 
by the way, the positive side of having patience test is the maturity.haha!
seriously, the function of test (duh,looks like I'm doing my thesis and so on lolz) is to enhance test taker's competence. in this case is the ability to be a mature person.
and I HOPE by having those patience tests, I can be more mature (well,you may laugh louder :p).

I think it isn't only about practice but also patience to be perfect.
that's why patience still becomes the most expensive "thing" (ever!!),doesn't it?
:)

well,

sometimes it's difficult to differentiate between confident and exaggerated

and it's also difficult to distinguish between optimistic and disparaging

what should we do?

how come to be humble in good way is extremely difficult?

how can we be confident without being exaggerated?

and how can we be optimistic without disparaging others?

hmmmm......

life is (still)fair

there is a time when someone can get something that he or she wants
and there is a time when someone can't get what he or she wants
meanwhile, no one can get everything what they want
there is only one choice for a lot of choices in our life
IF you can get everything that you want, well, congratulation
but if not, that's the truth....

sometimes we think that life isn't fair for us
but, how can you say that?
what about those who can't eat in a day?
what about those who can't drink fresh water?
what about those who can't have place to be with their family or friends?
what about those who can't have place to have a rest?
what about those who are'nt sure they can see tomorrow, take a breathe, see the sunlight, hear the birds' chirp, feel the wind blows, and walk in the land?
what about those who can be honest with them selves?

at the end, life is fair...
if you think that you're poor, take a look at the people who can't eat
if you think you aren't happy, take a look at the people who lost their family/are separated from their relatives/are discriminated
if you think that you're not pretty/handsome enough, take a look at the people who have disability in their body
if you think that your life isn't worthy, take a look at the people who are dying
if you think you are useles, learn from somebody who can survive and struggle although they aren't rich/smart enough
if you think that you aren't perfect and too complicated, take a look at the people who can live their life simply and humbly

the fairness of life depends on how you can see it closer
use your eyes, heart, ears and mind thoroughly
then do something with your hands, legs, and body sincerely
be "a useful" person for others is more than just be a perfect creature in this world
and always be greateful for everything that you have right now, even it's the bitter one

marvelous of Asia

hello hey hoooo...I've just joined a univ program called Global Leadership Program which was held in Sophia Univ, Japan. the program's participants were from 5 Jesuit universities in East Asia. I was so lucky to be participated in that program since I didn't know anything about that kind of program, lolz, and that was my first time to go abroad.wohoo!! :D
the program was held on August, 5th - 11th 2012 and although it had ended still it gave me a lot of experiences and challenges to improve myself better in the future. well, I don't want to brag a lot about that program but that's true, the program was soooo challenging because it asked serious thinking in the middle of my mixed up mind. haha,I was thinking about my thesis and at the same time I HAD TO think about the presentation in that program and so on. at least I had done my best, well not really my best too, but it still needed lots of improvements though.
the important part of the program was broadened the friendship with people in somewhere out there :DD,,it was fun so far. although the bitter was also occurred, still some sweets happened through it. rock on!! :D

Passengers

we sail everyday to see

different seas of different continent

when the journey is complete

we say goodbye for a moment

but someday we will see each other

sail and go to the eternal sea

together

thank you so much guys for the good time in marvelous country, sharing, laughing, and so on. see you around someday :),, \m/
