SUPER SHOW

2008-02-15T03:03:00.000-08:00

Nona Ivan, Teh Het, and Artul, are the nicknames given to Ivan Gunawan, Hetty Koes Endang, and Ari Tulang, in Indosiar recent celebrity talent show, Superstar. This show format is to have celebrities and their close relatives, like bestfriend, wife, or brother, as contestants. They will compete in a singing competition until final, and most of them aren't singers. This show has the same commentators and same hosts, just like the Supermama Celeb show, so the atmosphere and the fun is nearly the same.

Supermama itself is a developed show from Mamamia, which was conducted also by Indosiar and will be continued for next season. The origin idea of the Mamamia Show is from the Mamamia in Italy. Where the contestants bring their mommy as manager. Then the celebrity version was made by Indosiar, named Supermama. The situation of Supermama isn't as serious as other talent show. Jokes, pranks, and funny insults are often going on and on, mostly made by the hosts, Eko Patrio and Ruben, and the judges and contestants. The contestants who are celebrity brought their mommy as their managers to perform in a stage from Tuesday until Friday. From comedian, soap actors, and even an athlete, followed this show. And many of their mommas acted so funny too. This has been my favorite show so far.

Since 1st February 2008, Supermama Celeb Show has ended with the winning contestant, Mytha . And 6th February ago, the show is replaced with new show, different format but same hosts and judges. The differences are the show format. And that Madam Ivan and Bunda Hetty nicks, are changed into Nona and Teh. Both mean "Miss". Ivan Gunawan is a famous designer here, and he is commenting on fashion department. He often shocks the viewer with fashionable looks and unique hairstyle. Hetty is a legendary singer in Indonesia. Her strong beautiful voice and her skill made her chosen to carry on the music/voice department. While the performance department was using different judges each day, but in the newest Superstar show they use Ari Tulang as a performance commentator. He is a famous choreographer here.

The pranks and fun of the show looks similar to Supermama. And that what makes me like it. Moments often go outrageously funny. Ruben the host is called boncel simply for being short. Ivan is always compared to big things because his posture. Eko Patrio, who's a comedian, makes fun of almost everything that happens.

For sure, for this term or moment, this show will just replace the Supermama show, and takes the old show's fans. Therefore, will this show be boring later? Hope not. But you know trend will fade away, and sometimes in entertainment world, something that became a trend and rated, is worked to be as sporadic as it can be. But then it could cause a saturation in the society. But I think, it's still far from that. Now, people can still enjoy the show. Another laughmaker in this turning-crazy world.

OUTDOOR STUDY

2008-02-15T02:51:00.000-08:00

I had an outdoor study, on 10th of February 2008. It was an outdoor study for Padmanaba students, grade 10th. well, it could have been exciting, if my bus weren't having troubles. We had flat tire and machine problem and I was feeling a superstitious moment... Hmmm... Leave that.

We went to Kaliadem in Kaliurang, Yogyakarta, but we also we went to Ketep Pass in Magelang. We had toasted corn and hot milk. It was great, because it was very cold in that place. Kaliadem is the bottom of Merapi Mountain, and Ketep Pass is a high plate in Magelang where you can see Merapi completely. It was raining and fogging so i couldn't take its pic. =)

The Express

2008-02-15T02:22:00.000-08:00

well, these are pics i took from the locomotive car of Prambanan Express. I went to Solo/Surakarta to visit my new cousin. With my mom and sister, I travelled with this train. And with a lil curiosity I walked to the room with my sister and we were allowed, so we spent like 20 minutes inside. The journey itself took about an hour. I love this train, I always travel with this train to my grandma's city. =)

AN EMPTY BOTTLE

2008-02-02T07:03:00.000-08:00

Tonight I drank from an empty bottle
It gave me another empty space
I'm like a rusty bullet in a rifle
Was shot and lost in a maze

Wordless, clueless, and careless
Can't speak my mind when there's a barrier
I try to lay my head on a restlessness
Like if it's a pillow and the world is a bed to me

Come race the firework
To the sky, I will climb the stars I see around my head
I'll wipe the raindrops the sky poured to you
While we stand in the dark and far deep inside in the rain

1/Feb/2008

That I knew my friend was drunk, she said she drank eight bottles. My other friend said: maybe you drank from an empty bottle. I was kinda low and I wanted to drunk, but it was just a "want to drunk" .. Don't think I'll drink at the moment =P

* a story of an inner voice *

2008-01-30T04:54:00.000-08:00

Magical voice hypnotization
Your white noise radiation
Inside you I creep I weep I sleep so deep
You don't trust me Your inner voice
You stopped believe me
But that's your choice
And you won't get what you've lost
You'll regret it someday what has lost
Open up your eyes wide
Showing those eager sharp sight
But close your receiving heart
Act deaf to dull my spoken squad
Decising brutally, smiling sweetly, killing easily
Blood poignancy, rose scenery, audience staring deathly
Waiting for a clap,
You stand up proudly,
Leaving me craving for blood in the middle of the stage,
Like a deer out of a lion cage, I'm lusting the life
And you stand up on my tears
You don't know
That you are running to a deathly spear
I tried to tell you
But as always,
You killed me, dear
Here

SAME SHOES...

2008-01-30T04:34:00.000-08:00

What if the bell never rings
Will we ever miss the sound
No, no, sometimes when the morning bird sings
It's a sign that I run out of time
My eyes closed as brush meets my teeth
And I ride thru traffic with devil speed

Same shoes another socks
Same people with me here
Waiting by watching their clocks
What am I doing here?
And when is time to go home?
When is time to go home?

It was written days ago... I dunno if you can understand the meaning, but maybe you'll understand the place i mean here...Sometimes I feel like I have no will to go there..But somehow I revive, almost all the time..That's just a little share =P danke schon

=) =) =)

In Memoriam Soeharto

2008-01-27T03:45:00.000-08:00

Inalillahi wa'inailahi rojiun..
Telah berpulang pada Rahmatullah, mantan presiden Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia, H. Muhammad Soeharto..

After 24 days of treatments in RSPP Jakarta, on 27th January 2008, the man of leadership, father of Indonesia development, Soeharto, passed away. After being reported became healthy days ago, and stopped using ventilator, he underwent a critical situation on Sunday morning. At 11.00 PM, the headline news in Metro TV said that Soeharto was in a critical situation then. Never ever passed in my mind that it was the last news i heard bout him when he was alive.
Soeharto closed his life in the age of 86 at 1.30 PM (GMT +7) this morning (27th January 2008). He died because of multiorgans failure.

His eldest daughter, Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana, known as Mbak Tutut, was giving a press conference in tears. She said "Astafirullagh aladin" three times first. Dr. Mardjo Soebiandono, the head of presidential doctors, announced this saddening news before her.

ONE DECADE OF ILLNESS

Since he resigned, this 2nd president of RI had a rollercoaster health history, until his death in 2008.

He was brought to RSPP early this year because of too much liquid filled his body. Until this time 2PM, it's reported in RCTI that former President Soeharto was flied to Solo, Central Java, to the family cemetery in Astana Giri Bangun.

From Istana Kepresidenan, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ask Indonesia to give respect to Soeharto who had given contributions to the country.

--------------------

Hope that God will open His arms for him, and soon all the sins will be forgiven. Amen.

Kuta Beach

It's Kuta Beach in Bali Island, Indonesia. Beautiful, isn't it?The photo was shot when I went there with my jr high study tour =)

Suharto's 25 Amulets

2008-01-13T21:38:00.000-08:00

A paper article I read days ago said that Suharto, former president of Indonesia, has 25 amulets, which culturally quite normal in Indonesia, especially for big people like him. It reminds me to stories i heard, bout old men who was on his deathbed but couldn't pass away, because he has amulets or bequest that held his live. And finally they called a paranormal to take his amulet so he could he pass away. It happened to be one of my neighbor's grandpa. And my teacher's grandpa. My teacher said that his lower body was already cold, but his throat up to head was still alive, and his breath was very heavy and sound so scary..

Is it possible that Suharto could survive in so many critical situations he had, because of those amulets/bequests. No one knows for sure except himself or his relatives. It just makes me questioning this.

SUHARTO ON SPOTLIGHT

2008-01-13T21:23:00.000-08:00

It has been weeks that former Indonesian 'dictator' Soeharto or Suharto, suffers bad illness in Rumah Sakit Pusat Pertamina, or Pertamina Hospital. The media are always updating on his news, he's been major headlines in every papers and all breaking news in the TV is about him. Even his doctors team is always updating his condition to public thru press conferences in hospital.

He got sophisticated treatment and the best doctors. And who pay that? Government. Estimated hundreds million Rupiah is being spent for him. I'm questioning is that worth it? He's old now and ill, it's not that i'm being meany, but he's suffering, what's up with letting him undergo big pains. Say, that there are so many allegations and trials for him, well, he's old now, i don't think it's proper to put him in jail. And if we want our money that is corrupted back, there are still another alleged persons, and we can also track Suharto's investment, even without him.

HONORED AND AFFRONTED

Despite all the hatred, there are still so many people honor him. Indonesian knows that his governing regime is like Indonesia's best age. Needs are not as expensive nowadays. Everything was more safe. Even holiday for students are more many. Indonesia was at its best development
with him. Although he was governing more than a period in a row, which means he's 'dictating'. he also had a foundation called Supersemar that gave students college scholarship. Lately, in a trial against his foundation, that is alleged as corrupt, students who got his scholarship stand up for him and pray that he'll be recovered. Then the judges said that this is a trial, so there's no need to pray for anybody here. In so many areas, citizens are praying for him. BEM UI or Indonesia University Students Council was trying to do a peace demo in the hospital, altho finally they were told to go. What will be government next step remains mystery. Altho so many
politicians in government has stated that this nation should forgive him. The law must be stricten, but should we bother an old sick man in his deathbed? If there are still other good solutions, i think we should let him go. What he'll face later, won't be our business. We can just forgive him and let him go.

Gondolayu Bridge

2008-01-01T23:23:00.000-08:00

I think its a quite known bridge in Yogyakarta From this bridge you can see the beauty of Code River valley at night.. And it is close to the Tugu monument And there is a good culinary spot Where you can eat toasted bread and hot milk, while enjoying the night wind and seeing the valley with the little 'stars' from the houses below

p.s see the picture at the end of my page, thx

Catastrophe in the End of 2007

2008-01-01T23:01:00.000-08:00

Gosh

There are so many disasters this past few months ( i guess or maybe weeks). These disasters are related with this horrible wet season in some areas in Java island. It causes land slides and floods and horrible winds. Moreover the ocean is in 'rage' too. Many fishermans lose not only their income but also their houses. Because of the high waves, 3-4 metres...
God bless Indonesia

YOU HAVE BEEN LOVED BY ME

2007-12-29T23:41:00.001-08:00

You are God's gift to me
You are more beautiful dan anything
An armour cud be in rust
But in u tehres only trust
A gold coin cud lost in ocean
But in u theres only passion
You are da mist of roses
Unxplainable, a mystery
Nothing wud describe you, they must feel u
You are better dan any sunrise afta da rain
Better than any candles when the dark was came
Maybe when they see ur face
They'll see nothing
But when i see your face
I can make sure thats a face of miracle
You're not always here when i need u most
But when you're here, i forgot tht i've felt the worst
I dont believe tht you juz came to me
Because its God plan, I know it, I can feel it
You might think its impossible
But you're not impssible
You're just unxplainable
Like the mist of the roses, i told u
You ask me why? okay i tell u why
Becuz God gave u to me
and evrything tht came from God's hands isnt an impssble thing
n theres one more reason
evrything tht being loved isnt impssble
n u hav been loved by me
A deep breath makes me feel alrite
But u make me feel wonderful
a clock wud ticking until its brokem
but u always inside here, unspoken
thousands seconds, thousands eyes blinks, thousands voices the passed
away
but u're not
dats happines
der's nothing such as bad luck, bad day or bad moment
cuz when i remember u, i feel only romance
is it just me , or do u feel da same?
u r a shady willow
in a hot sunny day
a lake, wit breezy atmosphere, spring water and those singing birds
u r a tough mountain who covered me from da storm
u r da voice when the wind touches da leaves
singing softly like an endless beautiful song
the peace of harp and violin
if u r a red wine from the best season
i will always thirsty
if u r the sweetest apple, all i feel is hunger
if u r the whitest cloud, there will b no thunder
and i know u r here
will always, here
cuz u have been loved by me

PERFECTION

2007-12-29T23:40:00.000-08:00

You're a machine
A little cute and robotic
Making a scene
And make yourself sporadic

Want to be just beyond perfect
No matter how much blood wasted
As long as you're in the crowd
And your name screaming is quite loud

I see your hands holding the scepter
Glad for being a victim of simple matters
Is it about maturity
Or just about insane and sanity

On the stage like world
Perfection is the word
A duty everybody holds
Break themselves into pieces and put it in a mold
Just like your ancestor told

ANGELS

2007-12-29T23:38:00.000-08:00

You don't have visage
The embrace you do is beyond the age
Beyond the velocity of light
You have no displacement
I have walked time through time
And I walk inside of you and your virtue
Even beneath the mirror where my shadow is just a shadow
You're there

The grace in your face
The strength in your will
The guard is amazing
That makes me standing still

Why are you soldier, so beautiful
Precious, you keep my soul
You don't have visage
The embrace you do is beyond the age
Purest love, the strongest troops
Army of angels, you sing the choir thru the fires

inspired after reading Angels & Demon,not that one that's written by Dan Brown.. I forgot who wrote it =D

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

2007-12-29T23:36:00.000-08:00

Sovereigns of my nights
Moonlit remorse and the stars fire
Why did you lead me into the dreary dreams
Yours steps drew the sleepless nights
When I don't know whether I'm alive
Or not
Can you give me lullaby
Instead letting me passing by

Why you sketch an image in my mind
You're not a painter
Is there no other canvas
Shouldn't you be silent when I'm in a rage
Shouldn't you tell me to be awake
In the morning
But you keep me up along the night
Impetuous light of you
Immobilize me to rue

this one for Awa LoL

NEMESIS

2007-12-29T23:32:00.001-08:00

The tears are precious
You're my carnival
White lilies whistling
The claret is sweet
It's all my survival

Your words are harmonious
Haunting hallows
Blue princess cries down
It sparkles me now
Immolating torturing

From the deepers chaos
Deep burning burrow
You char my soul
And turn it to sorrow
Never do that nemesis
That's not a part of love
Isn't it your sweet genesis
Our cries our tears will never be enough

HIGH EDUCATION BUDGET

2007-12-29T23:27:00.000-08:00

It can't be denied that Indonesia is one of the growing countries. And as a growing country, Indonesia is now making up the instruments, growing up the power and emerging the spirit. There's nothing perfect in this world, but we may say thu a growing country is far enough from what we call perfect. Maybe a county would have great nature resources but a medium-low human resources, or vice versa. In my humble opinion, Indonesia has good and plenty nature resources and also average medium human resources.

There are so many ways that the government has done to educate the society and adding up the human resources. And I think that's good. They mwajbkn the (young) generation to have nine years of education, which means elementary school and junior high school. And it's been said that it will extend to 12 years. And I think it's also a good step to introduce to the society that courses or skill-high school are not incompetence than the regular education. In fact, it can be a very good alternative to produce good human resources.

But what I'm going to spot isn't about that alternative education. I'm going to talk about a problem in the regular/common education in Indonesia. As I have spoke in the early paragraph, Indonesia is a growing country. We are still struggling to follow and filter the globalization. Maybe the forms of globalization are already growing in Indonesia, but because of social and geographical issues, it hasn't reached every part of Indonesia.

Meanwhile there are schools which already have the forms of globalized education. I think it's common in some private schools, since in organization way, they may be more open to the global effects. But, don't want to be left, public/government schools are trying to compete for this maintenance and great education for their students.

I, as a student of a Senior High, am very happy and proud that I have a very good school. I'm now studying in a public school, and my school is counted as a good school in my province and so on. It has few class-programs, that help students (who wants) to study in a different way than the regular ones, like acceleration class and Information Tech. class. And fortunately I attend in the year of curriculum regeneration. My angkatan is now using International Cambridge Curriculum, which was only a class program two years ago. My school also has good facilities and so on. And I heard that schools like mine, those who are "go international" get some budgets from the government.

But it was quite shocking for me that the school fee is more expensive than other public schools. You may say, "Yes, it's because your school is a favorite one and it offern cash for the operational." But isn't there an allocated fund for those kinds of schools from government or what I heard was just a rumour? And I think there is some things in the budget allocation plan that actually can be fixed, not because it's wrong, but it doesn't really fit there. Like the holiday cards they have up. Each students got the card for their parents, and there are approx. 700 students. Well, it may be just a small spending rather than other spendings. But I think it'll be more economic to put the holiday greeting along with the holiday announcement letters. Aren't we fighting global warming?

Truly, I believe that this maintenance will be good for every parties that involve. But the question is, are we completely ready for this? If we sure we are, can we organize it? Is it just about the look or the image, or is it about the sake of education for this country? Now, Bawasda (Badan Pengawasan Daerah), an instance that's watching out public operations in a province, has been checking out some schools' budget plans. I hope it can clear the situation and no one will losing somethin improper.

Have you ever read Toto Chan, a Japanese novel? I think it's better to study in their train cars than learning in an unfair transparency. We're talking about billions of money. I hope big sophisticated schools have to be role models for other schools, those which haven't became as big as us.

2007-12-29T23:26:00.000-08:00

IF I AM

I can't believe it, that I've fallen in love If I am a ship, I hope you are my last port
I won't cruise the oceans anymore, and I'll spend the rest of my days beside you
I've cruised the worlds and seen all things
Wild life in Africa like a party in America
Cold white snow in Everest, volcanoes in Hawaii
Went to Liverpool at first, then tripped to islands of Haiti
The deepest sea in Philippines and the largest lakes in Canada
Smell of Bordeaux in winds beat Brazil's capoeira
Driest dessert in Egypt and New Zealand's in blue
But if I am a ship, sweetheart, my very last port is you

If I am a surfer, I guess I've found the greatest beach
With breezy winds, fabulous waves and blue green sky
Every single day I will conquer and rip your waves
And smile when you touch me with your mild water
The sunshine blends in carroty red and fuchsia blue
Down on my shoulders... seize up the whitest shore which I've ever laid on
The jingle of the sea softly strokes my ears
Weeping the most beautiful words
Baby, I love you

Now I believe it, that I've fallen in love

My Wings

2007-12-29T23:24:00.000-08:00

MY WINGS

My wings grow so white and pure
Bright and strong with heaven fur
Widen my wings that night
I thought that with diamonds, my wings was stud
Counterfeit emeralds and opals it was
Although they were fake they always shone us
But now i know it was just a daydream
And you've woke me up by your strange whim
You said goodbye, that was the saddest goodbye
Why, why, why I always asked you why
You told me things that i never thought
I hoped and wished it's just a fraud
But the screams of rapids went loud
Louder, louder they torn this heart apart
The arms of dementor devil hug me
His insulted hands started to nudge me
It hurt me it hurt me
He plucked my wings painly
I tried to fight it
But he is strong and he pulled it
He left my bare back bleed
He took my wings away that day
And then you said goodbye
I stayed up all night
And i cried...
Go and fly without say goodbye,
But love is beautiful,
Come and in without say anything,
Yes, love is beautiful.............
