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...

Hargai hak cipta

Dulu saat mengambil data dari internet, saya tidak pernah mencantumkan sumbernya. Tidak pernah saya kutip karena memang saya malas menuliskan kutipannya. Sampai pada akhirnya seorang guru terkesan dengan presentasi kelompok saya dan menanyakan “dapat dari mana kamu Pris ini?”, saya jawab dengan gampang, “Internet bu”. Ehh ibunya nyolot “Ya internet itu kan banyak, yg spesifik dong. Lain kali tulis sumbernya, kalau orang lain pengen cari kan gampang. Jadi bisa dapat sumber yg bagus juga”.

Nahh.. yang selanjutnya adalah menuliskan kutipan di skripsi. Menulis kutipan di skripsi itu benar-benar menyebalkan. Karena harus mecicili  sampai detail terkecil. Mengingat kampusku dulu adalah kampus yang super teliti dengan hak cipta, jadilah setiap kali dapat di internet tidak bisa serta merta asal ambil saja. harus ditelisik hingga akar-akarnya. Alhasil saya berbulan-bulan cuman melototi sumber referensi *lupa isi skripsi*.

Dan itupun terjadi ketika saya menulis blog ini. Dulunya saat saya mengambil tulisan orang lain, atau gambar orang lain, jarang saya cantumkan sumbernya. Tapi untung saja kebanyakan foto disini adalah sumber pribadi. Jadi nggak perlu mencicili lagi untuk mengedit tulisan lama.

Tapi sejak itu saya jadi terbiasa untuk mencantumkan sumber referensi. Karena referensi itu sangat menolong kita untuk membuktikan bahwa omongan kita bukan bualan semata. Dan orang tidak akan bisa membantah perkataan kita yang ada buktinya. Jadilah kita aman.

Selain itu, kita menghargai hak cipta orang lain. Saya juga pernah merasa “Gimana kalau tulisan kita yang diambil orang lain tanpa mencantumkan sumber aslinya?”. Agak sedih ya. Karena jika orang lain membaca karya kita yang ada di laman orang lain, dan dilain kesempatan pembaca tersebut menemukan tulisan kita, ujung-ujungnya mereka mikir “Ah ni orang jiplak tulisan orang itu”. Padahal tulisan kita yang original.

Oleh karena itu seyogyanya kita harus mencantumkan sumber asli jika kita memang merefer pada karya tersebut. Hargai hak cipta karya anak negeri. Dengan menghargai hak cipta orang lain, kita tidak akan kehilangan apapun kok. Jangan jadi maling lah ya yang suka ambil punya orang lain tanpa ijin. Malah kita menjadi orang yang spesial karena menghargai orang lain adalah sama dengan menghargai diri sendiri.

Have a nice day :)

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
