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...

The DNA

  
funkyjunk.com

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, papa mertua saya mengirim sebuah video berjudul The DNA Journey by Momondo. Videonya singkat, hanya 5 menit, tapi meninggalkan pesan yang mendalam. Setiap orang yang hadir diberi pertanyaan tentang asal usul mereka. Kebanyakan orang tentunya hanya mengetahui mungkin mentok 3-4 generasi diatasnya. Sudah bisa 4 generasi ke atas aja udah bagus ya. Kalaupun saya ditanya seperti itu, saya mungkin bisa menjawab pure Jawa, plus Belanda dari kakek buyut, plus mungkin sedikit manado dari nenek buyut, that's it. 

Nah di video tersebut ada pertanyaan, negara mana atau suku mana yang paling dibenci. Ah saya kalo ditanya begini, saya bisa bilang hemm itu tuh negeri seberang yang barusan 'nggak sengaja' ngebalik bendera kita. Dari dulu sampe sekarang jawabnya begitu kok. Ah udah ah nggak usah bahas itu yaa. Oke balik lagi ke mereka, seseorang ditanyai hal itu dan dia menjawab 'Germany'. Ada juga seorang kulit hitam bilang kalo dia ya dari benua yang rasnya hitam. Beberapa juga mengutarakan ketidaksukaannya akan agama tertentu.

2 minggu kemudian mereka mengetahui hasilnya. Surprisingly, seorang yang benci banget sama Jerman tadi memiliki DNA dari orang Jerman. Seorang berkulit hitam tadi ternyata memiliki DNA dari Eastern Europe. Jawaban dari tes DNA tersebut benar-benar diluar dugaan.

Dua hal yang menjadi poin penting bagi saya. Pertama, Jangan pernah benci siapapun dari suku ras agama apapun karena bisa jadi mereka adalah leluhur kita (jadi gw ga boleh benci negeri seberang yak? I'll try!). Kedua, karena kita bisa jadi berasal dari ras yang mungkin tidak pernah kita pikirkan sebelumnya, jadi we are one in humanity. Kita itu ternyata sama. Jadi, kita nggak punya alasan untuk nggak damai dengan orang dari negeri lain kan?

Jadi penasaran DNA ku dari mana aja ya asalnya.....hmmmm

 check out this video

 Tes seperti ini bisa jadi adalah pembuktian dari teori bahwa kita adalah satu saudara dari Nabi Adam. Who knows kan...

  1. 1. Assalamualaikum wr, wb
    2. Eh apik videonya
    3. Klo gak salah org jawa malah seharusnya ngerti urutan ke atas, di pepak ada kan buyut, canggah, wareng, dst. Dulu kata embah paling enggak satu tingkat di atasnya wareng masih paham dan klo lebaran mesti silaturrahmi, berhubung semakin lama ya begitulah, satu putu aja kadang gak kenal, heuheu
    4. klo negara yg dibenci sih relatif ya, cuma klo gak salah AS sama Israel yg paling banyak. Jerman mungkin masih trauma NAZI ya. Rusia jg banyak yg ga suka,
    5. wassalamualaikum

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

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...
