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...

Merah putih sampai mati

Tanah airku Indonesia. Negeri elok amat kucinta. Tanah tumpah darahku yg mulia. Yang kupuja spanjang masa.

Indonesia tanah air beta. Pusaka abadi nan jaya. Indonesia sejak dulu kala. Tetap dipuja puja bangsa. Disana tempat lahir beta. Dibuai dibesarkan bunda. Tenpat berlindung dihari tua. Sampai akhir menutup mata.

Dirgahayu Indonesiaku yang ke 70 tahun. 17 8 45. 70 tahun sudah. Sudahkah kita merdeka sepenuhnya? Merdeka dari penjajahan tak terlihat dari negeri orang, merdeka dari kemiskinan, merdeka dari kebodohan, merdeka dari semua hal buruk yang mengikat kita? Bisakah kita?

Indonesia adalah negara besar. Negara yang benar2 besar secara penampakan dan seharusnya besar disegala sisi. Kita pernah sangat disegani dunia luar. Dunia luarpun takut kepada kita. Kita seharusnya bisa menjadi negara hebat, bahkan lebih hebat dari yang pernah kita alami.

Membangun negeri ini, bukan berarti menutup pintu dari dunia internasional. Berjaya dikancah internasional adalah salah satu bentuk majunya negeri ini. Menginternasionalkan diri bukan berarti kita tak cinta negeri.

Aku, hanyalah seorang pemudi yg sedang membangun bangsa. Aku cinta Indonesia. Sudah suatu keharusan aku mencintai negeriku. Merah putih sampai mati. perjuangan pahlawan Indonesia bukanlah hal yg mudah. Sudah sepantasnya kita menjaga buah karya para pahlawan yg sudah berjuang demi negeri. Secinta-cintanya aku kepada negeriku, takkan pernah berarti jika kau tak mencintai negerimu jua. Bahu membahu membangun negeri, adalah suatu keharusan. Tunjukkan rasa terima kasihmu dan rasa syukurmu kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

Aku cinta negeriku, Indonesia. Merah putih sampai mati. NKRI harga mati.
Jayalah Indonesiaku, merdekalah negeriku dari semua bentuk penjajahan.

Cara Memilih Bacaan

Pulang - Leila Chudori Pengalaman gw mulai menyukai membaca karena bukunya yang bagus. Kata orang jangan judge buku dari sampulnya. Gw termasuk orang yang suka judge buku dari sampul. Tapi itu bukan hal yang utama dong tentunya. Itu hanya ekstra poin aja.  Pertama kali gw baca buku dan tiba-tiba suka adalah saat papa yang waktu itu pulang, bawain gw buku ensiklopedia yang isinya sejarah dan astronomi. Itu yang bikin gw langsung suka baca, karena materinya bikin gw berbinar. Itu juga awal mula gw suka astronomi.  Perjalanan sebagai pembaca tentu saja lama sekali. Beberapa genre gw coba baca, kadang suka, kadang nggak suka. Hingga akhirnya gw tau apa yang bikin gw akan baca buku itu.  "Halaman pertama tulisannya" Gaya menulis orang itu pasti selalu berbeda. Meskipun mirip dengan yang lain, pasti akan ada karakter pembedanya. Itu biasanya terlihat dari halaman pertama tulisannya. Bayangkan, meski materinya bagus tapi penyampainya nggak bagus juga nggak akan nyangkut di pemb...

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...
