About Job Alteration and Natural Disaster

Honestly I am very delight every time I have a spare time to write something or give a comment to my blog link again. Today, my passion rises again when I read my past written. Like Pramoedya Ananta Toer (Indonesian writer) said, “Because you are writing, your voices wont be gone by the wind, will everlasting, until far away, far in the future time…”

Anyway, talking about writing I have a tendency to enjoy writing since I was study in University. In a last semester I when I wrote my thesis, I begin to create a personal blog which I finally usual to write an article or anything. Then I continue my habitual and skill by taking a journalism job when I have graduated from university. Journalist or reporter world actually is a kind of job that I want to gain from a long time. There are some reasons why I am interesting in journalism. First perhaps, getting a journalist make our brain always grows. We always get new information, seeking the answer of information, and surely have a broad sight. Furthermore it will give us much more experience, experience when meet somebody else and see the others kind of life.

But it turn out, become a journalist is not as simple as we though. Especially when we have to face a high mobilization and provide more energy in doing that. Journalist in the other hand also has the problem of neutrality. Yes, it is a big problem. To be a journalist, especially from news paper, magazine or others have to write as honest as possible, have to push the way of the writing in order to not create a different perception in the society.

I like to be a journalist. I think it is a special job. But, it turn out it is not easy for me. My mother prohibit me because the reason of time and healthy. When I was a journalist I always go home at night. Spend my time in outdoor by meet the source to get an information. Yes, sometimes I rather sad, just because it is good thing to release.


Lion Air "We make people fly"


I release my job, just because I think it is better way. I hope I still able to write, much study, and get much experience. Now I am working at the airlines company. Here I become a secretary at SSQ Department (Security, Safety, and Quality). SSQ department has a noble assignment. We will keep the safety and security of every crew, passengers, aircraft, airport, and all of the staff at airlines company from hazard and another threat. For the next explanation of SSQ, I will explain it one day.

I enjoy to work here. It has more than 1 month I become a secretary here. Secretary is different with my pas job. But I am sure it also has own advantage. ^-^


My dearest reader, I am sure that many of you have heard that Indonesia lately has getting a calamity by the coming of natural disaster in Padang city, Sumatra Island. The 7,6 magnitude quake earth quake has killed a hundred even thousand people and collapsed many buildings. Sadly, one of flight attendant in my airlines became a victim when she is assigned in Padang. Many Flight Attendant stayed at Ambachang hotel when they have arrived In Padang. But when the earth quake came suddenly, one of Flight Attendant is can not be rescued, so she is trapped in the building and get a ruin.



The Padang earth quake is not the only earth quakes that recently happen in my country. We have experienced earthquake in Tasikmalaya, and many years ago earth quake in Yogyakarta and Tsunami in Aceh. Many earth quakes is observed as a result of the hit of two micro plate under Hindia ocean and Asia in west beach of Sumatra. The tectonic micro plate of Hindia hits the plate of Asia. The energy because of colliding two micro plates is creating earthquake.


Padang earth quake 7,6 magnitude quake

We really sorry to see the people and the condition in Padang today. I also thank you for the effort from International community to help Padang to recover its condition and especially help to looking for the victims that still be lost.

Padang earthquake has create a trauma among Indonesian Society. There are many issues that earthquake will be happen again in the bigger magnitude quake. But we do not know what will happen. I just hope for the best of me, my family, and my country.
Hoping that we can bear in this situation.

I also want to ask for every living people to grow our empathy for our earth, remember that our earth is getting old and fragile because of many mistakes from human that stay on it. I believe that our environment also has a heart like other creatures. So keep our harmony with the environment.

Human should keep three part in their life. With God, with others, and with nature...

Happy Birthday for My Indonesia


Yesterday, August 17th 2009 my country has celebrated its independence day. It was 64 years, exactly in 1945 Indonesia free from the colonization. There's a hope from my heart that the spirit of struggle from our heroes will always adhere in our soul. Hoping that Indonesia will always survive and join together in restore every country problems.

I know that Indonesia lately has been get a problem such a terrorism that decrease a credibility of its. Many political and social disputes still rampant in many parts, and many kinds of development dropping from other country. But I do hope it will not make a skeptical of our struggle to realize the new Indonesia.

Here we can see many of citizen enthusiastic to celebrate Indonesia's birthday. In every part we celebrate with ceremony, in many street we can find a carnival by wearing traditional costumes, many kinds of traditional competitiions, like panjat pinang (climbing pillar to achieve a gift), menangkap belut (chasing eel), makan kerupuk, etc. Instead many times ago in Malalayang sea, many people celebrate Indonesia by ceremony under the sea. As much as 2.468 persons diving in the international sea festival which invite many tourist from other part of the world coming. Really Incredible.

I hope this feeling will be lasting not only in this aniversary day but for every time. This spirit will always come in especially in the young people who have a chance to do better things.

I love Indonesia

Anyway my country now is in the unsecured condition. There are two buildings that have been bombed by the terrorist, Ritz Carlton and JW Marriott hotel. I don't know why this chaos is happened again. We are feel safe since there are no bombs again since the Bali Blast incident(2005).
There are some issues that this incident is occur following the presidential elections several times ago, and this is viewed as the result of political tension here.
I don't know what became a motivation of the explosion. But I do hope it wont be provoke the emerge of the other problem. I also still hoping that there still a belief from international community to Indonesia.
Here I ask my condolatory to many victims of the blast, both for Indonesian people and for foreign people. May God bless us all..

the Running of Human Rights Condition Over South East Asia Nations

Dear All,

I am so sorry for cannot presents many of new postings that I write recently, because of the lack of available time that I belong here to do this. I also want to rearrange my schedule to make an effective moment for continue my blogging activities. I really want my blogging activities can back again like in the past time...

Back to the my posting, after reading the article that I have read one week ago from Kompas newspaper, I become aware about the growth and development of human rights in South East Asia. That Article mentions that ASEAN: an area that oppress its society. Well this article is written in accordance with the discovery and emerging of many violence cases and harassment among its people in many of ASEAN nations.

In the 14th High Level Conference of ASEAN in Thailand, there is a important issue concerning to the human rights condition in ASEAN. As a host of this conference, Thai prime minister assert that ASEAN has a great potention in the economy issue, and put its concern in this economic area. But, the condition of human rights is become worst and become problem which scatter among ASEAn nations. To reduce its problem, ASEAN takes a big action by making an institution which focusing to the growth of human rights in ASEAN area. While, Thai prime minister also added that the creation of ASEAN human rights institution in this year is the first in this area, and would become a great achievement to that direction. Source: http://kaytu.burmabloggers.net/?p=1309

This institution's creation is a critical for the human rights condition which is worse and worse in that area, although in the meeting of the conference there are some problems against its creation, like the weakneess of framework, and trouble between leaders. But, as a process it has showed a great effort as long as 42 years before. There are an agreement to institusionalized which essentialy means there are meeting that will be held every year and better procedure.It is also realized the people about the human rights problem among them and make ASEAN do not oppress their citizens again.

The Cases of Human Rights Abuses and Violations Over ASEAN Region:
Burma: Oppressing Ethnis and opposition denial
Thai: military abusive for moslem minority in South area
Malaysia: Ethnis discrimination for economy policy and denial the rights of ethnis minority
Singapore: Oppression for the opposition who against Lee Kwan Yeuw dinasty
Vietnam: Oppresion the freedom of religion
Laos: Denial the freedom of expression
Philipine: the murder of reporter and rebels (Kompas March 1st)

When the Wave of Fire Visit Victoria

The disaster has come back to Australia. Victoria, a part of territory in Australia has been attacked by the mass wave of Fire at Friday, 6th February. According to the Information that I have received, this large number of fire takes as long as 2.200 kilometer square of Australian territory and there is no signals that the flare of fire can be over comed soon. Then, the wind blows fast which resulted in the difficulties of fire controlled and make it larger. Affected Area of Fire

At the present, the victims of this disaster has reached 230 people, which many of people can not survive. Many victims caught in the blazes had no time to escape; their houses disintegrated around them, and they burned to death. As firefighters battle the flames and police begin to investigate possible cases of arson around some of the fires, there will surely be debates over the wisdom of Australia's standard policy of advising residents to either flee a fire early or stay in their homes and wait it out.
Although Australian government has mobilized almost all of their soldiers, and fire estinguisher, this problem is still continued. Temperatures are dropping now, then it is become a fear that they will not be able to get the fires under control until there is substantial rain. It is really hard condition and situation in Australia now which Victorian state Premier John Brumby said that "it's obviously a tragic day and a tragic week in our history".
The disaster which comes in Victoria is raise the attention of many people about what makes it happen, and what we should be done in the future in the future to prevent it tobe recurring.
Well, the bush fire actually are common to comes in Australia. The worst disaster has occured in 1983 when 75 people died on a day that became known as Ash Wednesday. But this bush fire is the most intense, through the highest price in the lives lost.
Global Warming has fueled the Fire in Victoria

The climate factors lay in the foregound of this fire. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that the fires in Australia were "virtually certain to increase in intensity and frequency" because of steadily warming temperatures over the next several decades. Research reported that by 2020 there could be up to 65% more "extreme" fire dabger days compared with 1990 and that by 2050, under the most severe warming, there could be a 300% increase in such a days (http://www.time.com/). Australia is one of the country's worst coal polluters and it was one of the most notorious climate change, so it is really difficult to do a high commit to a mere 5 percent reduction of carbon emission in 2020.
Since 1950, Australia has warmed 0.9°C , and climate models predict the country could warm further by 2070, up to 5°C over 1990 temperatures, if global greenhouse-gas emissions go unchecked. Beyond a simple rise in average temperatures, climate change will also lead to an increase in Australia's extreme heat waves and droughts. Southwestern Australia is already in the grip of a prolonged drought that has decimated agriculture and led to widespread water rationing; the region is expected to see longer and more extreme dry periods in the future as a result of steady warming.
The Australia fire is expectable can raise an awarness to reduce global carbon emissions to minimize the impact of climate change. It has to be one signals that the climate change today not just a natural disasters merely but turn into human catastrophes. The Bush Fire calamity has worst the condition of Nations. Hope it will be last and can be recovery soon...

a Hope to Make a Better Place for People in Gaza


Many of offences and attack from Israel has begun in Gaza since the last of Desember. And the result of it, has created many of human rights abusive for civilians and children on there.
Human Rights Watch estimated that in Gaza 1.5 million people are enduring a serious humanitarian crisis brought on by more than two weeks of major military operations that have magnified the impact of 19 months of a highly restrictive Israeli blockade. Hundreds of civilians have been killed in the fighting, a large percentage of them children. Many wounded and sick have been trapped in their homes, unable to get medical care. Corpses have been left among rubble and in destroyed homes because Israeli forces have at times denied access to medical crews. Increasing numbers are displaced or are trapped in their homes. They have nowhere to flee, caught in a warzone where no place is truly safe.Gaza's civilians are facing dire shortages of food, water, cooking gas, fuel and medical care due to insecurity, the enforced closure of all of Gaza's borders, and alleged serious violations of international humanitarian law. Electricity is sharply down, and in some places open sewage is spilling into the streets. Children, who make up 56 percent of Gaza's residents, are especially vulnerable.
The war and crisis in Gaza really unlimited and make many people despair to see the progress condition of it. Many times ago my friends has sent me a message. She just wrote that 'She just hardly believe in her life she still seeing a war in her "civilized earth". Many people also regret and wonder with the decision of every step that is taken by each state. And not just a few people that believe that this war is never ending because it has written in the destiny of this world.
I also cant say something with the situation and cannot argue a good solution to ending this. I just hope for every people especially who involve in those war and have a authority to decrease an anger and more aware with the sense of humanitarian especially for the civilians who sacrified their life for this hostility.

Short Story About Jakarta Life


It has been about 25 days I life in Jakarta. There's so many things that I have received, and of course tima after time I have able to adapted in this situation, custom and environment that over all almost different with my past hometown. From the one side we can imagine that Jakarta is an fantastic town, which every thing is seems to modern and available. Jakarta also the center of goverment, business area in Indonesia. But the positive image is not always follow it. Indonesia citizen certainly can see and argue that Jakarta is a 'cruel city'. Which if we not able to stiff and strong we can get many trouble in living there.

I remember when I want to go here. Many of my friends talked to me that 'do not too innocent, do not too kind if you in Jakarta, because if you stay like this you will be oppressed'. The argument and suggestion of my friends make me thinks hard. I do not believe if I have to follow their suggestion. And I am sure It was not like they thought. Not all of people there have a cruel heart, although perhaps there are many of them who like that. I also affirm my self when many of people said that I will change in next periode after living there, through my life style and minded. I want to be a ussual girl who still stay simple, not over, and kind...

Now it almost one month I living here. Jakarta life is begin to change my mind. Not because I have to follow the style of this metro town, or I have to half with many people. But how the way I have to do a flexible performance in the middle of this life.

Fortunately I stay in my cousin house who really care and give me many of new thought. She teach me to leaving here, adapted with this city, and preare my self if oneday I get job interview. She also often ask me to the shopping center. At a first time perhaps I feel annoyed with her mind. Although She is rich people but She shouldnt to spend money to buy a high class clothes, or shoes, or bag. But when She talked to me that all of these is a must to living here, I begin to think twice. She talked to me that if we do not use an expensive things when I walk in the center of town, or when I working, it is sure that many people will not be respect to us, and will override us.

It have happened in me when I visit Pondok Indah mall, Taman Anggrek Mall, Grand Indonesia mall. When my cousin asked me to visit a counter which sell an international brand, sometimes I feel uncomfortable with my self. And perhaps it is true which what she said to me that we make up our selves for the confidence and in order to will not be override by somebody else.

My cousins is like my mom now. She is really care of me. She always think to change my self. She also often to bought me all of everthing that I should have.

Now I become ussual to buy good branded clothes, bag with quite expensive prices which I never done before. My cousins also often bought me. She never hard to spend much money for me, and it is make me feel to do something more for her.

I cant think wisely with my self today. Should I have to follow this or I have to stay the same? here I should to be more individual because of the culture here force me to do this, and once again I think should I gonna be like this.

My beloved readers, perhaps it is a ussual things that you often experienced ehen you stay in Metro city. But for me it is a new things that should be chosed. But over all I enjoy living here which give me much experience.
