Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

BERDIKARI

Kau tahu kawan kepanjangan dari Berdikari?? Aku rasa, kebanyakan dari kita pasti tau itu kan??!! Yah, BERDIKARI adalah berdiri di kaki sendiri. Artinya??? Mandiri, tangguh, tidak bergantung pada orang lain. Itu yang sejak dulu di gaung-gaungkan kepada kita.

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yg berkembang. Kita emang sih belum menjadi negara maju seperti Eropa atau Amerika atau negara manapun lah itu. Tapi jika sedikit ditelisik nih ya, kita merdeka adalah hasil perjuangan atau hasil pemberian?! Pasti kita dengan kepala tegak akan mengatakan "Perjuangan sendiri, kerja keras kami selama ratusan tahun". Iya! Benar. Kita merdeka atas keringat dan darah seluruh warga negara. Kita berdiri di tanah merdeka ini dengan kerja keras. Patut bangga? Patut!!!

Karena merdeka dengan hasil sendiri, tidak ada negara lain yg menopang hidup kita. Kita berdiri, berjalan, dan berlari atas kemauan kita sendiri. Akibatnya apa? Akibatnya tidak akan ada negara lain yg mengurus kepentingan intern negara kita. Semuanya terserah kita bagaimana caranya menjalankan roda negara ini. Ada jatuhnya negara A misal, ya tidak akan mempengaruhi kita secara apapun. Karena kita mandiri.

Nah sekarang masalahnya, bagaimana caranya menjalankan roda negara ini? Mau dibawa kemana negara ini? Sampai saat ini, negara kita masih negara berkembang, bukan negara maju. Eitss jangan salah, negara kita termasuk salah satu anggota G20 lho. Berarti perekonomian kita udah mulai diperhitungkan tuh. Tinggal tunggu aja, kapan macan kita bangun dan mengaum bebas.

Sudah siap menjadi negara maju?? Hayoo siapkan dirimu, jangan lupa tetap junjung tinggi nilai-nilai Indonesia kita ya..

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet
