Between Faith, Religion and Personal Relationship to God

2011-12-19T15:40:00.011+07:00

Well December is coming with bringing some nice and warmth atmospheres in Jakarta. Everything about Christmas has been visible since several weeks ago in some streets, malls, office buildings and at some programs in the television. For myself, December and its Christmas nuance has brought me a happiness as well. I like some Christmas songs sounded in some areas, I like Poinsettia grows everywhere and some people wishes about White Christmas - although actually I am not really celebrate it.

I am a moslem lady. Most of my family are moslem as well, and some part of them are christian. The christian believers in my family are come from my Father's family. I have embraced moslem actually since I was a kid. I have been a Christian since I was a Kid before to be a moslem. But I don't know what my reason made a changes on my religion at that time. I just remember that I did not go to the church anymore and choose to mengaji (reading Quran) at Mosque.

Actually, If everybody asked me why I have to alter my religion I don't have a good answer, because as I said before it was too young for me when I made a decision and I don't know what my specific reason took that decision.

Look into my point of view when I was a kid and now is surely different. For me now I have a distinction with what it's called faith, religion, and personal relation with God. I don't know but in my understanding people who strong with religion is not certainly have a good faith as well. And it also doesn't means they have a good understanding about the real relationship with God.

In my experience, I often see the people who have a good faith, realize about the presence of God in his / her life although they don't do their habitual worship well. Or vice versa, people who do a strong worship but not wise enough, or still commit the things that painful or make anyone else uncomfortable, for example. That's why I see that having religion, do a strong worship doesn't always means make people good or become so faith and have a 'pure heart'. But I don't say it's always happen to all of people.

That is why actually people need to look deeper, more sensitive to their surrounding, have a control with what they do and even with what they feel and think. Not only do what religion ask without the right direction.

I am a moslem lady, but I quite interest in what Christian teach or Buddhist teach. I bible says about love and affection, what Buddha says about humanity. I think I have something else that fills my heart and enrich my spirit. I also more often pray with my own language to God than read a verses that I don't really understand it's meaning, so that I can feel a more real communication with God.

As a human being, it's a duty to do an obligation which our religion asks, but we have to build our own faith that is not always can be achieved by do a worship strongly, but by our heart, understanding that we can gain by our wisdom. And most important making a relationship with God that is not always can be achieved by good worship as well but once again by our heart, our pure love in our self to God.

Marry Christmas. God blesses you and universe.

Indonesia as a Holiday Destination

2011-07-29T19:20:00.028+07:00

I have a plan for a vacation this year. Like other workers, I need a spare time for holiday to set free the fatigue caused by workload and other routine activities that taking energy of body and mind, and of course to see something new beside a things that I see in my daily activities.

Some people, I mean some of my friends usually tend to choose country neighbors as their holiday destination. Most of them often make a plan to visit Singapore, Thailand, or Malaysia. Some of them also comfy to visit other ASEAN countries like Vietnam and Cambodia. Beside the air ticket price factor, which is getting cheaper time after time, as the effect of emergence of budget airlines, staying in the neighbors countries (ASEAN countries) is not taking a high cost. a lot of hotel can offer us a cheap cost starting from 20 USD, even less. So going vacation in neighbor countries, sometimes no need much consideration to do.

For upper middle class people, most of them usually have more choice to visit other countries that is more distant and expensive. Hongkong, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, and European countries can be a favorite destination for most Indonesian people. It is apparently to be so distinctive when young people will spend their holiday time in Hongkong for shopping, or to Gold coast for surfing.

Something that can be noted here is the choice to holiday in Overseas can be an option because: 1. It offers a benefit by visit other countries with lower cost, or 2. it can give a particular prestige, no matter what kind of place, what benefit we can get there, as long as we can achieve Hongkong or Japan or Austalia it will give own prestige. (Correct me if I am wrong)

That's why sometimes Indonesian people a little bit reluctant to choose holiday option in their own country for holiday destination. If Air Asia can offers a low cost to Bangkok or Jetstar with its low fare can allow us to go to Singapore only with USD 50 (return). So why we have to make difficult by choosing Tana Toraja in Sulawesi island. That's many of Indonesian people minds!.

Whereas, if we can see, Indonesia has many of not only beautiful but also unique and wonderful places and culture, that is not less than other countries. Let see, we have a Pulau Komodo (Komodo island)that is to be one of wonderful place in the world, or Raja Ampat archipelago that is great for diving activities and have a lot of species, which most of them is not found in other hemisphere.

I hope this year I can realize my planning for holiday, either with my friend or single journey :). This is some Indonesian great places that I want to visit, or may be, can be on your list as well if you want to visit Indonesia.

Happy Belated New Year

2011-01-09T16:25:00.001+07:00

Dear all,

Happy new year for you and family. Hope in this new year we always granted the best, the bless, and wisdom in doing anything in our life.

Anyway I am sorry for giving this new year greeting by now, as I have to stay at hospital from the new year's eve until 6 days ahead. I suffered a dengue fever disease and that's why I should stay at hospital at that time. But fortunately, at a present God is giving me back my health again and my condition gradually better now.

In this new year I don't have any particulars hope or resolution that I specifically listed. I just want to be given my best. But having no resolution that is wish in the early of year does'nt mean I don't have a desire and destination. Still I want to pursue anything that become my goal in the near future. Of course, I have to increase my English as it is really important not for my personal life only but more intended to my professional life, I still have to increase my performance in my working environment, achieve my master program as soon as possible, expand my self in social life including with friends, colleague, higher my view and knowledge about anything.

But above all, I want to deeper my spiritual life. To be a person that can find a meaning through the belief and pray. I cannot target it of course. But it is really expected. As God always present in this life and his presence is beyond anything in my life. I am a person that have a low comprehension regarding Godness and even my religious it self.

Once again, happy new year all, hope the new year 2011 always give you joyful, peaceful, and easy way that bring you to your goal and desire.

God bless you :)

The Eruption of Mt. Merapi

2010-11-10T15:57:00.014+07:00

Dear All,

In this occasion, I will not tell you a lot about the story regarding the eruption of Mount Merapi here, but I will at least give you at a glance the description when this well known Indonesian mountain is occurred.

Maybe some of you have heard that Merapi mountain, one of Indonesian active volcano mountain has erupted several days ago. This erupted of Merapi occurred at the short time after Tsunami attack Mentawai island in the West Sumatra Province, Indonesia.

When Merapi Erupted..

The erupted of Mt. Merapi has left a lot of victims, society that live around the mountain. It is about hundred of people near of mountain dead, some gets serious injury, and the area is full of ash that comes from the mountain. The ash of mountain eruption moreover has spread not only in Central Java area but immeasurably achieve Depok town in West Java province which put distance between hundreds kilometer from Central Java. This spread of ash also has lead a termination of International airlines from and to Indonesia for a while.

The ash from mountain covered one of village, the harvest time is also failed because of this ash fall..

Actually a lot of victim from around Merapi is caused by many of factors which mostly is a belief. I means belief because there are some people who unwilling to leave their home to displace area because they are waiting for a guidance or direction from the one who they belief or respect. Many people believe in the kind of sacret guide from around them and they are still naturally traditional.

The death cattle due to hot smoke

Another reason why so many people become a victims is an unwillingness to leave their cattle. Many of society feel that their cattle is their most valuable treasure. Cattle such as cow (majority), buffalo and sheep is the form of their wealth. Sometimes the people who has stayed in the displace are going quietly to their home to visit and feed their cattle without have an awareness that their act is risky.

People who was rescued from the disaster..., the ash cover their body

Funeral process of the victims

Actually, merapi that has known as one of the world's most active and dangerous volcanoes has showed their tendency to erupt before. From the information I have got, Merapi volcano was raised to level 3 alert (out of a maximum 4) due to inflation and volcanic earthquakes on 21st October 2010. Sand miners were asked to stop all activity, and people advised not to climb the volcano. But it turn out, people often neglected and underestimated until the mount really erupt.

For you are who interest in helping the victims of Merapi you can donate to International Red Cross Indonesia. I am hoping that they have got a strength and belief. I also thank you so much for every pray, emphaty from every people who care with the condition of victims. I believe all of your support make them survive.

Unstable Natural Condition in Jakarta

2010-10-26T14:59:00.008+07:00

Recently the weather's condition particularly in jakarta is really unstable. Almost everyday the heavy rain together with strong blowing wind surge this city. The hard wind and rain have created a lot of bad impact for daily activities and life of citizen.

Actually when the heavy rain comes, I never really realize. My working place which the building is quite sturdy almost makes me not knowing the situation outside. But when evening going to come and I am back from my office, I can see clearly that the road is full of puddle and the road really traffic because of puddle or flood.

Yesterday when I came back from the office, the rain still continue. My train that carry me to my home in Depok area was suddenly stop because the electric current that run my train was upset because of heavy rain. Almost 1 hour the train stop and waiting for the signal to run. In the other hand, I see from the news in facebook and also from my friends stories that most of them arrived at home in the midnight, around 12.00 - 1.00 am. They trapped in the traffic jam for almost 6 hours because floods are everwhere and inhibit their way.

Condition of Flood in Jakarta

it's very terrible condition of Jakarta today. Jakarta that virtually is dense, traffic, and full of population is worsened by this flood condition. The rain and wind also worsening the condition by the uprooted of many trees, create a victim by its floods and accidents.

Actually the condition of Jakarta today, and maybe others area in Indonesia which occur the same matter is because the deed of the people itself. People often neglect even harm the environment that virtually is a part of their own life. Nature, environment which give the life a beneficial, safety, and goodness destroyed with no clear reason and treated greedy.

From many observations the land in Jakarta actually is vanish, eroded inside. People build a high and big building without give 'a chance' for soil, water, and air to circulate. Most of water discharged to the sea, but people also harm the sea life. If you ever go to Jakarta, is very difficult to find a water channel here. Many river also poluted.

People enjoy to establish a big building in Jakarta for commercial, without consider the long term impact

Although the prediction that Jakarta will sink started from north area, people still ignore the condition. Many of developer create their big project by build a giant hotel, apartment in the side of sea which actually is a place to absorb water and overcome the flood.

Perhaps with the natural condition that is not friendly currently is a appeal and warning that they are threatened from time after time. People is being warned about their treat to the earth which give them a living.

I hope that environment condition is not continously worse. Lets we learn to love our earth and nature, like we ever love anything that we interest, we like. quote from somebody words " People have to save three pillars at their life... with God, with others, and with nature...

Happy Ied Mubarak 1431 H

2010-09-09T20:24:00.000+07:00

For all of my readers, friends, family and Relative who celebrate an Ied day, I say a Happy Ied Mubarak 1431 H.

Forgive for all of mistakes both intentionally and unintentionally. Hope this Ied day will bring a harmonization, peace, and happiness in your family and surrounding, and may this Ied will give us a more chance to be a better people and closer with God.

When the Dream Comes True

2010-08-28T18:58:00.006+07:00

Dear all of my readers and blogging friends... I am very happy and fortunate currently. It just because God gives me a chance to realize my dream to work in International Organization.

Yes, today I am officially become an employee of International Regional Organization. I am now working at The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) which started on August 23, 2010. I think most of you (especially you who come from Asia) know what ASEAN is. But if you still feel unfamiliar with this organization, I will explain you shortly about it.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand. Today there are ten Member States of ASEAN. ASEAN has aims and purposes such as: to accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the Southeast Asia region, to promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the relationship among countries, to promote active collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest, to provide assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities in the educational, professional, technical and administrative spheres, to collaborate more effectively for the greater utilization of their agriculture and industries, the expansion of their trade, to promote Southeast Asian studies, and to maintain close and beneficial cooperation with existing international and regional organizations with similar aims and purposes.

In accordance with our vision and mission, the motto of ASEAN is “One Vision, One Identity, One Community”.

At ASEAN I work in the Security Cooperation division under Political Security department. I work there as a Secretary to help and support my division in the acceleration its work program. May be I just a Secretary today, but I am sure someday I can improve my performance to dive deeper in the project operation. I want to feel so enthusiastic in my work and go deeper in help ASEAN, because I want to help ASEAN Nation to obtain its prosperity, peace and stability.

I just remember when I was close with graduation time, I feel so uncomfortable and pessimist to be able to work in NGO (Non Governmental Organization)/ IGO (International Governmental Organization) because of its high competition. But in turn out today I able to achieve it, to be one of IGO worker. I am very gratitude with all of this... (my last written about my desire to work at NGO).

nb. Thank you for my God, my friends and family for the much support for me so far..

Preparing the Next Step

2010-07-17T21:19:00.005+07:00

Currently I am thinking to do a preparation for my next step. Next step I mean, a big project and effort for achieving my goal.

As we know, it's about one and a half years I live in my Wander town (Jakarta). Here I get a lot of great experience, development, lesson and anything that really different with my past life. I also (although not until really professional)get a some experiences and learning in a working life.

I really thanks to God for such his great bless for me in this life. I grateful for anything that occur so far. And today I am thinking to do some more effort to achieve another goal that I ever want since I was study. For this matter, I think I have to be more serious in my effort. Remember that no gain without pain. And although it turn out I fail in this achievement, I never regret (I hope) because I have do my best and I am sure whatever the result, it is be the best way for me.

I learn by the process

From now I:
1. Have applied a position of Local Staff at Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia.
I know that to be a Diplomat is not easy. I am not that pessimist, but try to think rationally, and I am sure that become a Local staff at Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia also good for my first beginning. But for to be a diplomat, I also try and endeavor.
For this Local Staff application, I have to do some preparations, including studying English and Global Issue. I hope for the best of it.

2. Will apply an ADS Scholarship.
ADS means Australia Development Scholarship. It needs a good score in IELTS and the competitors are quite much. So once again I have to study, especially English. Before that, I will take a TOEFL test to get its score for being compiled in the first application.

3. Plan to take foreign language course.
I think I will take French. I know that currently, in the world that full of competition and Liberalization, language is play an important role. English is usual language and must. It needs to learn another language. I just want take some of foreign Language course, but I am afraid I don't have a time for that. During the day I quite busy of my work. I take my rush time from morning to evening to work and some others activities. But I have determined that I will take it by this year. God will :)

my time today is much for working, and other activity. I also spend a lot of time in this train every day (about 4 days everyday)in the way to office and home

From those plan I just pray that I will always be strong to survive and endeavor. I am happy because I plan it, I learn, and also think a lot for this life(not only about it and about me), but also something more in this life due to my experience, my deep mind for something, my gratitude and my faith to God for the good and the bad.

Company and The Status of Employee

2010-06-19T22:01:00.016+07:00

I have some stories about my fellow experience and many entry level workers in Indonesia when they fight to look for a job and begin they first career.

Most of people and fresh graduate are interesting to be employed in some good companies, who they consider give a prestige, and better place. Indonesian people, according to my observation tend to work at banking field, some of them also interest to join at Media company (Television), and telecommunication company. They think that by joining those good companies, they will be get not only prestige but also a quite good salary.

But it turn out, it is not easy to breakthrough those companies. The fresh graduate have to compete with much and qualified competitors. The number of accepted workers is small if compared with the number of applicants. And when they are failed by many times, finally they have to turn to look for another way to get a job easily and reachable.

Many of jobseeker may be are willing to wait and struggle until they get what they really want and suitable for them. But most part of jobseekers it turn out choose to be paid by some outsourcing companies. I need to explain here that outsourcing company is the kind of company which is recruit and provide an employee source for the main company. It will be really unfair for many employees because by become an outsourcing employee in a company they will get not fully salary and don't get a payment of allowance, reimbursement, annual bonus etc. The salary they get will decrease as much 20% - 60% because the actual salary is shared with the outsourcing company. The employee also sometimes get difficulties to enhance their career in the company they working for,because their employment status.

In the other hand, the company is get much beneficial by join with outsourcing company. First, the company is not in necessity to give more money for transport/ meal allowance, reimbursement, bonus etc. Second, the company no need to be worry about their workers. When something happen with their worker they have not fully responsible because they are not the owner, but they just hiring. And when something happen with the company like going bankrupt, they also not difficult to release the worker.

Many of indonesian workers employ in the reputable and famous company with the status of Outsourcing

I have a friend who today is deployed by multinational banking company with the status of outsourcing. She explained me that the supporting division is mostly placed by outsourcing employee. But the permanent employee occupy some main and important area or operational department. Moreover she said, the main area is played by many foreign worker.

Where profits are the bottom line, it is only natural for companies to seek out the cheapest labor possible

It is occur in many of countries when there are a lot of local people paid less even though the capacity of their work is quite excessive. It is seems that they are not respected to the human service and sacrifice.Where the large companies are in high expansion and they need much cheap human resources to maximize their profit, they tend to sacrifice anything including the human.

Furthermore, not only about lack of respect and lead to the slavery, but many other human rights issues are come to the top when company's profits are naturally the most important goal. The violation of human rights, lobbying for and participating in manipulated international agreements, environmental damage, child labor, and so on, is the example of result in the powerful of company today which is ignore the standard of ethic

The Global Issues noted that: For many companies, the largest cost is often the work force. Hence, where profits are the bottom line, it is only natural for companies to seek out the cheapest labor possible. However, when international agreements are often designed to foster an environment where cheaper and cheaper labor is promoted, the workers themselves are often not paid enough to live on. When a nation tries to provide regulatory steps to improve workers conditions (which does mean more costs to the companies), multinational corporations naturally pick up and go to other places where there are less measures in place. In this way, improving working conditions will always be difficult, as it is not in the interest of the large companies.

Aviation and the Spread of Diseases

2010-04-28T21:09:00.006+07:00

After some times I experience working at Aviation industry, There are many new knowledge that I've got regarding to aviation and aircraft especially in the scope of Safety and Security. Although I don't have basic in this environment, I have found new pleasure including learning about many things that contributes to the incident, accident, and hazard to the aircraft and people.

And last week, we have discussed about blood borne pathogen and its relation to the aircraft incident. Blood borne pathogen is one of threat toward aviation safety. Well, blood borne pathogen it self is simply defined as many infections that can be spread by contamination of blood and caused disease in human. Pathogenic microorganisms that are transmitted via human blood cause disease include, hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Hepatitis C and B is much experienced by the people. Especially in Indonesia where the rate of Hepatitis infected is high. But HIV sometimes is quite difficult to contaminate, because it is not easy just by the spread of blood but by specific way especially sexual transmitted.

accident can lead to the deseases

Because the fact that everyone have any possible diseases, the virus can easily influence and develop to other people. In airlines industry it self, blood borne pathogen can easily influenced when the clash or aircraft accident happened. This is can be explained when aircraft accident comes, there are much blood shed in aircraft, in many corner of cabin, and in outside aircraft. The blood shed then can easily disseminate the bacteria and viruses to the most people.

Most people is not realized that it can cause a diseases to their body. Some viruses that have been contaminated to the people body, perhaps not appear their effect directly but in the five years further the effect and the deseases will appear and can lead to the death.

The passenger not only get a possibility of virus influence by the splash of blood directly, but also by respiratory / by air. In aircraft incident, when the clash is also accompanied by fire, the blood shed will also burn by the fire. This condition will create unhealthy air which the smoke from burning blood will caused a deseases when it is inhealed by respiratory.

That's why this is a problem of airlines industry when issue of diseases is become a threat. The virus like H1n1, avian influenza, malaria, and smallpox allegedly can easily brought and spread to the other countries because of aircraft. So it needs a deep prevention and strategy toward its issues to make safe and secure airlines and people.

Outing to Ciwidey

2010-02-13T20:09:00.011+07:00

One week ago, me and most of the staff at my 5th floor office went to the Ciwidey. A highland in the Bandung city, West Java area. Ciwidey has been famous by its quite interesting view, and and its specialty in strawberry and tea farm.

After office hour on Friday night, we start our journey which take 6 hour of time. The weather and temperature in Ciwidey is so cold, along with my condition which is little unwell. I've got flu when going on trip. We have welcomed by tea plantation over the pathway to the villa.

The activities starting by next day. Beginning with breakfast, introducing the member (regarding to the not all of the staff who is recognize one another), going to the Kawah Putih (beautiful crater which the water is white), buying strawberry with cheap price, and the other activities. But, because the hard rain come, we canceled our plan to arrange outbound together.

Interesting view by the green of tea plants...

Before breakfast, in front of the villa

This 'open car' is very great, that it can go so fast to the top area in the path curvaceous way. No more vehicle just it to achieve Kawah Putih. But after that we got dizzy and rather nausea, but not decrease the fun.

Kawah Putih...

With all of the 5th floor staff

I am sorry for all of you, I can't show you more detail the pict of strawberry farm and village. Those places has been missed to be captured...:)

Country Debt and Disaster Recovery

2010-01-16T01:19:00.006+07:00

Dear all of my reader,

The International world today is falling into grief because of the recent great disaster the has been attacked Haiti. From the information, the massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean island of Haiti on Tuesday 12 January, and it is can be supposed that not until in the counting of one minute, this earth quake able to destroy almost all of the state contain and create the massive loss of life. Many residents in Port Au Prince area today have not enough food reserve or water since that day. The majority of Haitian get despair and shock, some of them look so suffer by their cry and shout. The dust spread everywhere and either with the human body which have no place to be putted in.

Haiti's disaster leaving the suffer for society

The condition of Haiti today has been felt by the Indonesian people yesterday, when the big earth quake attack Padang city. Although the magnitude and the effect not as big as in Haiti, but the Padang disaster also rest many of serious loss life and devastating in many aspects. It is also create new assignment for the country to accomplish this problem.

The occurrence of many disaster like earth quake, tsunami, volcano, and flood is unpredictable and unknown. It is also can break down anything, and threat the state and human living. For the further, the disaster will leave new problem for the state in return the structure and normal condition.

Starting by the good understanding from the good article 'Third World Debt and Disaster Recovery, here is explained that the country which is get the disaster will face the new problem relating to fund and money. When poor countries face natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods and fires, the cost of rebuilding becomes even more of an issue when they are already burden with debt. Often poor countries have had to suffer with many lost lives and some aid while still paying millions a week back in the form of debt repayment (globalissues.com).

Post disaster incident: The country has new responsibility to restructure and rebuild the area.

Not only the need of much cost to get adequate food and basic water at the time of crisis, but also the need to clean the area, rescue the body, serve many thing of equipment, basic needs until the restructuring and rebuilding the state. Like in Haiti happen, This country is difficult to get the adequate food and water. Finally, hunger riots because the government not able to serve a security and transportation.
Haiti which has been noted as a failed state, still not have a capable to accomplish it all. However it is create a new dilema when the society can not hold their depression and have to fight to get food or water until raising a riots and looting anywhere.

Here is shown the difficulties to handle even finish the problem. Once again, the process of accomplishment the problem post - disaster need much cost and effort. I have grateful that there are many emphaty and support from international community to help Haiti and Indonesia or other country which has experienced a disaster. A lot of country and aids community help the 'crisis state' by sending many things that country urgently need and ease their burden. But finally it is not enough to close the all of the country cost. For one example, the worst floods for 50 years and a devastating cyclone in Mozambique make this country sorrow because the new burdens have come to the fore. Even Mozambique's government has been urging a cancellation of the country's debts to help use those saved resources for rebuilding the destroyed infrastructure.

Another example also occur when the devastation in Central America caused by one of the deadliest storms in over 200 years, Hurricane Mitch, November 1998, has been terrible. A UN report estimates that the destruction caused will set back development in this region by 20 years. The cost of rebuilding after Hurricane Mitch has highlighted the problems of debt repayment and debt relief that these countries are still facing (a repayment of about $200 million a day from Honduras and Nicaragua, two of the worst hit areas).

From those point of view, we have seen that disaster has make the country go into new problem both in economy and social. The process of restructuring and recovery is not take the short time. The Tsunami incident in Aceh - Indonesia in 2000 still left the effort of country and donor institution to restore condition in Aceh. The country after disaster much do the recovery not only in development of area but also development of community.

Today, I just hope that in this emergency day of Haiti and the others that has get disaster, many international community never stop to give their support. The support and help can ease the country's societies pain and make them at least stay to struggle their life.

About Job Alteration and Natural Disaster

2009-10-22T16:40:00.013+07:00

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

2009-08-18T20:13:00.007+07:00

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

Hi...

2009-07-18T16:44:00.009+07:00

Hello everybody, hello my blogging friends, and my beloved reader....
I am come back, and It feels so nice to fill this blog again. But anyway, I am sorry because I do not have a much time to write here now, and make a good post. But overall I am in the better condition so far. ^-^
At a present I am working as a reporter at one of media group in Indonesia. My work is taking a much time and energy. I have to work from the morning till the night, and sometimes have to stay in my office if probably. My work is also arrange for seven days in a week. But so far, I enjoy this experiences.
I really want to visit your blogs again one by one and read something great there. I also hoping to make a time to design an article for my new posting again. hopefully I can do it.
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

2009-03-10T20:17:00.007+07:00

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

2009-02-11T21:11:00.007+07:00

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

2009-02-05T23:25:00.004+07:00

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

2009-01-22T21:06:00.001+07:00

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.

HIV AIDS and Pharmaceutical Corporations

2009-01-13T16:26:00.011+07:00

After Blood Diamond Movie, an interesting movie that shows about the bad condition of Sierra Leone, and its natural resources (Diamond), once again I want to review an issues that is ever depicted and taken from a good movie. This special movie is I have seen at least one year ago, and once again describe about the bad experience of Africa continent.
Perhaps all of you ever seen "the Constant Gardener Movie". If I am not wrong, this movie is played by talented actor and actress, Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weizsh. The essential of this story is tells about the the role of Tessa (Rachel Weish) as an activist in Africa who running up against a drug corporation exercising its power to both ignore the easily treated diseases of the third world and use African population for unofficial research and development.
Somethings new and important that I can achieve from this movie is a lesson about the existence of power and politics of pharmaceutical corporation for the poor African and the role of those corporation in using them as a trial for its drugs development.

Well,AIDS and HIV has reached epidemic proportions in many developing countries. It is serious enough where in some nations has had a large impact on mortality rates and the economy. Some 80% of deaths for 2007 were in Sub-Saharan Africa, a region that also has over two-thirds of adult HIV cases and some 90% of all children living with HIV. Breaking that down further.

In the developed countries, we can see many adverts by large transnational pharmaceutical companies such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck, Pfizer and many others. We see a lot of emphasis on health alerts or sections on the news. However, as is becoming increasingly apparentand concerningis how the emphasis on the new drugs and cures being developed fit a class distinction, where the research is on problems that affect the wealthier people who can afford the cures.

Profit from Suffering

Pharmaeutical corporations using a controversial methods to operate in many developing countries, indeed they often to do sell products in developing countries that are withdrawn in the West; use their influence to try to prevent national drug policies; sell their products by persuasive and misleading advertising and promotion; cause the poor to divert money away from essential items, such as foodstuffs, to paying for expensive, patented medicines, thereby adding to problems of malnutrition.

Many of pharmaceutical corporation also often used a methods by testing drugs to the poor and human without permission. Like in this movie, many Africans become a trial of those drugs. In Africa also tobe one of the world’s biggest drug companies experimented on children without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Another example are experienced by many of Indian society. Many pharmaceutical corporation test drugs on Indian's poor by by using India’s cheaper, but highly skilled workforce to conduct drugs trials there, rather than in industrialized countries, thus saving significantly on the costs.

Furthermore, many drugs are being developed for markets in industrialized countries. Yet, using incentives such as $100 for participation (even though patients may not be fully aware of all the issues, which poses other ethical issues) in effect, poor people in other countries are being used for testing drugs on, while the potential benefits would be for people elsewhere. Wired News cited an assitant professor of medical history and bioethics, Srirupa Prasad, who said, “Third World lives are worth much less than the European lives. That is what colonialism was all about.

Testing Drugs in Many of Poor Society

Thats all at a glance my knowledge about pharmaceutical corporations in developing countries. Globalizaton not only has bring the spread of multi national corporation to operate in many areas over the world, but also has bring the deeper effect by commit a human rights abusive.The threat of health security especially AIDS not only enlarged by social economic condition and lack of handle, but also avarice and crime many of mutinational corporation in broaden their wings

Unemployment

2009-01-10T21:58:00.003+07:00

I begin to feel uncomfortable when I have to write this Title 'Unemployment'. Perhaps because I prefer to write a positive things which happen and which I plan so far in my world, or because I rather like to write about the problem of securitization an human rights problem. But Unemployment it turn out become a good title which depict a domination of condition in my self today.
The choice to looking for a job is I have taken from many times ago. I do not have another choice to do something better beside that after graduation. Taking master degree is want I taking in next year if finally I failed in getting a fellowship. And now, I feel become someone who is not studying nor working. I am begin jobless.....
My father ever talk to me to give a time as long as 1 year to get a job. But I think It's so impossible, I want to working sooner. Perhaps I seems to impatient, but I really dont want to take a long time trapped in this condition. Now I feel I am getting a reduction in my brain, I feel I dont have a thought like when I was study, lack of motivation, and lack of capability, in my knowledge, in writing good and many more...I also feel getting reduction in thinking positively.
I am aware the world is occur a recession and crisis. Many of employer has out from many of corporation. Instead, here I try to looking for a job. It is really unproper conditon for fresh graduate student to looking for a Job. Many Job vacancy at news paper also decrease and less through and through....
Now, I think I should learn more. It is the only one thing that I have to do to achieve my dream and can through the competition. Department of foreign Affair give a difficult competition in getting its position. INGO also ask a competitive persons who have a master degree and good experience, and many of good instancies ask a briliant persons, beside its lucky. So I think it is my time to fight.
I do hope for my self.

Review of Global Food Crisis 2008

2009-01-04T17:34:00.005+07:00

Perhaps we all know that 2008 is an era where Global food Crisis happens and therefore has created much of hunger and poverty in many areas around the globe. Yes, Food prices have been rising for a while. In some countries this has resulted in food riots and in the case of Haiti where food prices increased by 50-100%, the Prime Minister was forced out of office. Elsewhere people have been killed, and many more injured. While media reports have been concentrating on the immediate causes, the deeper issues and causes have not been discussed as much.

It is the new face of hunger. A perfect storm of food scarcity, global warming, rocketing oil prices and the world population explosion is plunging humanity into the biggest crisis of the 21st century by pushing up food prices and spreading hunger and poverty from rural areas into cities. Millions more of the world's most vulnerable people are facing starvation as food shortages loom and crop prices spiral ever upwards. And for the first time in history, the impact is spreading from the developing to the developed world.

Global Food Crisis: Has Spread during 2008 era

One of the obvious argument about the occurance of global food crisis is overpopulation. In the other hand, A lot of land has gone into producing products that could be considered unnecessary in their production (like tobacco, sugar, beef), and there is new fact that Some 80% of the world production is consumed by the wealthiest 20% on the world suggesting. An inequality in resource use due to social, economic and political reasons, and perhaps less because of Malthusian concerns about population sizes outstripping resource availability in most cases.

Beside of those arguments, there are some facts that become innediate factors of global food crisis, that is: Droughts in major wheat producing countries, Low, grain reserves, a doubling of per capita of meat consumption in developing countries, and the diversion of 5 % of the world cereals to agrofuels

In the other hand, many of richer nations has accused become the maker of food crisis. The dominance of the richer nations and companies in the internarional arena has had a tremendous impact on agriculture. which for many poor countries forms one of the main sources of income. A combination of unfair trade agreement, concentrated ownership of major food production, dominance (through control and influence in institutions such as the World Bank, IMF and the World Trade Organisation) has meant that poor countries have seen their ability to determine their own food security policies severely undermined.

The increase of poverty and inequality which fueled corruption making the proble even worse. Food dumping (aid) by wealth nations into poor countries, falling commodity prices, vast agricultural subsides in north America and Europe (outdoing the foreign aid they sent, many time over)have all combined to have various effects such as forcing farmers out of business and into city slums.

a new hope to prevent global food crisis in 2009

My beloved readers, This food crisis has worsening the poor condition especially in third world country, creating ineuality among nations. Hopefully it is become a reflection for us especially to do more attention of condition our environment. Perhaps it is not bring a great impact for us who live well, but it is become more danger and really influenced people who live in the povertu lines..

Love, Mama

2009-01-02T21:35:00.002+07:00

New year is a really new for me, who commence a new life in Jakarta. Sometimes is feels so difficult for me in this beginning to through it all. A new culture, a new friends and family, a new habitual, and perhaps new thought and perspective. I think about my friends when I still study who have give me much love, and make me do a great changes. I do miss them; Irfan, the boy who always together with me so far, do not contact me again and perhaps dont want to contact me again. I dont know what happen with his mind; My previous life in Jember, And more than that is, my family......
In the last morning, my father, mother, and my sister have gone back to Jember after several days in Jakarta to accompany me...My mother looks so sad, and cried through and through. Indeed my mother never far from me so far, and now She feels so hard to release me.
My mother looks so sad when we should be separate in the Bus station. Me too but I attempt to hide my sad and try to not crying. Oh my God, I really sorry to look my mother.
Tonight is a first night that maybe feels so hard for me. Sometimes I become sad is not because I far from my mother, but because see her so sad. I love my mother, do love her more than I can say. I am swear To be a really really good person and make her happy.

Blood and Diamond

2008-12-28T21:22:00.005+07:00

Diamonds are forever" it is often said. But lives are not.We must spare people the ordeal of war, mutilations and death for the sake of conflict diamonds." (Martin Chungong Ayafor, Chairman of the Sierra Leone Panel of Experts)

Dear my beloved readers, have you ever seen watching a Blood Diamonds movie? the great movie that is played by Leonardo Dicaprio as a main actor.

Blood Diamond movie particullary tells about the bad condition and situation in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone become one of the most of emergency area in Africa. The existence of internal conflict in Sierra Leone has fuelled by the combination of their richness of its natural resources, mismanagement and the greedy who is control it.

Diamond: Blessing and Curse in Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone becomes one of country which diamond is abundant, and these diamonds has create a great conflict and human rights violation where over 50.000 people havebeen killed, and over one million people having beem displaced. It has made United Nations General Assembly taking up this problem into their agenda and and adopted a resolution on the role of diamonds in fuelling conflict, breaking the link between the illicit transaction of rough diamonds and armed conflict, as a contribution to prevention and settlement of conflict (A/RES/55/56)

According to definition of Conflict Diamonds from United Nations, conflict diamonds are diamonds that originate from from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments, and are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of Security Council.

While the conflict diamonds in the Sierra Leone, at the first time is happen when the rebel group ( Revolutionary United Front/RUF) have called the various government corrups and accused them do the mismanagement of diamond and mineral reseources. The Rebel themselves, then have commited abuses at civilians. People have been raped, amputated, torture, and more. At the first time, RUF may have started from respectable aims, but time after time, they themselves have been corrupted and attracted others who see the RUF as a way to get at the diamonds an profit from it.

In the other hand, this conflict has been escalated by the involvement of multinational corporation that had concession to mine diamonds offshore. In its attempt to mop up supplies everywhere in the world, it is virtually inconceivable that the company is not, in the way or another, purchasing diamonds that have been smuggled out of Sierra Leone.

Africa, the area that actually can be welfare because of its nature become failed to build natural resources for their society. The problem of Sierra Leone Conflict is not the only one. The problem of mismanagement oil in Nigeria and the other African country, Timber in Liberia has created a mass human right violation. That is there is a perception that oil and natural resources is tichker that blood.

Women and the Struggle for the Environment (the Story of Indian Women)

2008-12-16T15:58:00.008+07:00

Indian Women: struggle for the sustainability environment.
Dear my beloved readers, perhaps lately we often heard about the effort to save and defend our environment. The issue of environment become one of the crucial issue today, as we know that there are a lot of negative impact from the destruction of environment and mismanagement of natural resources, like climate change and global warming, water crises, and flood in many area. The decreased of environment sustainability, create many effort to do a tight protection through both locally or internationally. In India, the effort to struggle the environment is much done by the women. Through mobilization, women fight to prevent further more ecological destruction.

The green Revolution has created a positive impact by its success in increasing global food supply, but in the other hand, the failure of this revolution has created a negative impact by the ecological destruction. The problem of debt, the deforestation for the expansion of agricultural land, the negative effect of fertilizer and chemical pesticide, scarcity of water, and the building of dam which expropriate the area of society and agricultural land, and expropriate the role of women in the agricultural and as a the main food provider for their family and society is the become one of problem that is experienced by Indian society especially the women.

The green revolution has moved the control of natural resources (plantation) from women and farmer to the food corporation and multinational agribusiness by new superior varieties technology, and ignore the social and ecological effect of that revolution. In the other hand, Indian women against the natural concept as the pillage and try to protect environment as a Prakriti (the vitality to sustain the life). The Indian society, especially the women struggle to defend and preserve the life. The repression for the environment which is the kind of development model at a present also become a repression for the women, which depend on the nature in their effort to get a food for their family and society.

Try to protect the trees by embrace them.
That’s why the Indian women begin to make a mobilization to protect their environment. One of the movement is called Chipko Movement. Chipko means embrace, which describe the the effort of women to protect the plant by embracing the trees in order to prevent the saw machine and ax cutting the trees. Chipko movement has saved a thousand of square kilometers forests in Himalaya area, because the forest has a relation with their livelihood to fulfill their food supply and become of their income. The other movement is a Narmada Bachao Andolan which is still struggle until now to stop the building of dam in Narmada Valley.

By these movements, the Indian women try to struggle to prevent the ecological destruction. From years after years they commit a demonstration, protest and long march from one village to another village and get a positive result.

The effort of Indian women really wonderful, they have to sacrificed their live to protect the environment, and I hope it’s also become a inspiration for us to care our environment.

(thanks for my best friend, Eka Apritriasa)

2008-12-14T08:22:00.008+07:00

Lately I have though hardly about my preparation to go to Jakarta. Yeah, it is something you should know that I will leave my town and move to the Jakarta. I will live in Jakarta to looking for job and begin a new life. Jakarta is a capital of Indonesia and the biggest city. I choose to go to Jakarta because I think it is a better town to looking for a job and build my career. Perhaps we all know that every success way and fortune has decided by God, but I am sure as human being we have to attempt to get our best.
I have a plan to go to Jakarta at December 26. It less than ten days from now, and I begin to restless about everything. Jakarta is a city which is very crowded and disorderly. Living there need to struggle very hard. I also will starting separated life with my family, and It's my first time to be far away from my parents.

Sometimes I feel so hard to begin it. But nothing that I can do except looking for my livelihood for my own self. I am an adult person now, I am not a little girl anymore who depend everything on somebody else. I will try to do my best and hold on in every situation. I also just do hope that I will get a comfortable in my new place and protection for me and my family in my home.

Human Rights for All

2008-12-10T05:59:00.000+07:00

Today is a human rights day celebration, and the anniversary of 60th Universal Declaration on Human Rights. On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

United Nations declared Universal Declaration of Human Rights with many essential purpose, which we can see in the preamble of it. Whereas those purpose is based on the basic human need. Universal Declaration of Human Rights has considered that recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace the world. In the other hand, this declaration want to protect individuals from atrocities and abusing their rights. They considered that disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous act which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human being shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people. United Nations also see that men and women have equal rights and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, considered the importance of the development of friendly relations between nations, and want to promote understanding of these rights and freedom is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge.

Therefore The General Assembly proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Every human has rights. That is the essence of our humanity. It places on each of us the duty to stand up, not just for our own rights but also for those of others - and to help turn the vision of the UDHR into a reality. That is the spirit of international solidarity. That is the true meaning of universal, indivisible human rights.

On this special anniversary, many people will gathering together in hundred of places around the world, to light a candle, fire, and flame in a mass demonstration.

On Human Rights Day, we ought to stand up for human rights and let show our solidarity with all people around this globe who are committed to making human rights a reality for everyone.

Happy human rights day for all...

HIV: Social Stigma and Discrimination

2008-12-06T08:02:00.000+07:00

First of all, I like to say thank you for Tikno and Peterahon who have given their voice to promote the rights of people which infecting this diseases by their posting. Surely I also thank you because its inspiration to write about it.

Well, my posting today perhaps almost same with Tikno, but maybe more emphasize in Stigma and Discriminationof HIV AIDS.

Like we all know that the problem of AIDS at a present become famous and became one of issues in security agendas. It is because the victim of AIDS is become higher and higher time after time and rather difficult to prevent. According to the data, more than 25 million people around the world have died of AIDS-related diseases. In 2007, around 2.1 million men, women and children lost their lives. 33 million people around the world are now living with HIV, and most of these are likely to die over the next decade or so. The most recent UNAIDS/WHO estimates show that, in 2007 alone, 2.5 million people were newly infected with HIV. The second is AIDS is a one of diseases that easy to infected without knowing the age, situation, and level of society. The next, the issue of AIDS is related with social stigma and discrimination in the society, so it makes more difficult in preventing and increase the problem instead.

Regarding to the last point, HIV / AIDS is often related with stigma or discrimination. (Erving Goffman (1963) describes stigma as “an attribute that is deeply discrediting,” transforming
the affected individual into a “discredited” person)That’s why, although there are many of successes in prevention or giving treatment of HIV, stigma and discrimination have been intractable problems associated with HIV / AIDs around the world. Finally It result in the successful prevention of this diseases. It causes people delay HIV testing, restrict utilization of preventative programs, and hinder the adoption of preventive behaviour like condom use and HIV status disclosure.

From the early days of the identification of AIDS, the disease has been powerfully linked to behaviors that are illegal (such as illicit drug use) or are considered immoral by many people (such as promiscuity). Consequently, a diagnosis of AIDS was a mark of disgrace, although medical researches reveal that the disease follows well defined modes of transmission that can affect any person. As the extent of endemic unfolded, misinformation about AIDs and how transmitted triggered fear of contracting diseases.

In some developing countries like African countries, have met the AIDs head on, attempting to educate citizen and change high risk behavior in the population. However, other nations have been slow to even acknowledge the disease. It is different with developed countries some of the stigma attached to a diagnosis of AIDS has lessened in recent years, it is because of the admissions by public figures and celebrities, especially in the United States, that they were HIV infected.

The social, ethical, and economic effects of the AIDS epidemic are still play a role, and no one is entirely certain what the consequences will be get. Despite the many bad facts of the AIDS epidemic, however, humanity is armed with proven, effective weapons against the disease: knowledge, education, prevention, and the ever-growing store of information about the virus’s actions (review from: Microsoft Office Encarta 2007, UNDP report)

Complex Humanitarian Emergency (Something We Should Know)

2008-11-30T08:18:00.000+07:00

If you ever heard there are many of war, internal conflict, mass of refugee, suffer, and the widespread of dead, what do you think about? have you ever think that it is created deliberately?
well, at a present since the end of old war and the threat of security moved to become non - traditional security, the focus of the threat is emphazised for the human. So does, the new concept of human security is appeared and replace the old concept of traditional security which view the threat comes from the military and state.
The threat of human comes become an important issue between the early 1980-mid 1990s, when the number of humanitarian crisis escalate from an average of 20-25 to about 65-70 per year. In the other hand, the number of people affected rose more than proportionately, and estimated that the number people involved is increase by about ten million annually. The result of this is, scores of people have been left dead, starving, homeless, and hopeless, and the other treatment. Humanitarian crises: sometimes they are deliberately made

The surge of emergencies cannot be contributed to an increase in natural disaster but rather to factors which are man-made, and a growing proportion of them becomes Complex Humanitarian Emergencies (CHEs). This phenomenon become perhaps the most serious threat to human security in the present world.
To give you an easier way in determine the case or crisis is classified to Complex Humanitarian Emergencies (CHEs) or not, I will give you some important points and characteristic of it.

CHEs is a multidimensional phenomena that are not only accompanied by wars, but also by other forms of the human suffering including forced migration, hunger, and diseases. The interaction between violence and poverty particularly over a number of years, can lead to massive deaths.
CHEs are man-made(that is, natural calamities like the recent devastation in Africa are excluded), although the natural disaster may act as trigger to a CHEs where conflict in ongoing.
Third, CHEs are essentially and politicised crises. Hence, the motives of key actors need to be understood.

Knowing that CHEs is an political motive and essentially is a man made, I will give you some examples to strengthen your understanding in it.
The first examples is looked by the case in Argentina in 1970 (during the era 'Disappeared'), the military junta sought to stifle civilians group and opposition parties by kidnapping civilians at night. Bodies were dismembered and scattered without a trace not only as a final act of humiliation and annihilation but also as a way to increase fear, to prevent the dead from becoming martyrs and to preclude the possibility of physical relics inspiring and mobilising the opposition.
the recent examples about it is in the case of Uganda. Like I have explained in my posting before that the LRA (Uganda rebels) has commit an atrocities for the civilians and children especially. Children are abducted and attacked by the LRA in the mass number. Until about 3 from 4 children in Ancholi land (area in north Uganda) dismiss because of the abducted. It really affected the condition and security situation in those area. So, this I explained you that it is become an CHEs because it turn out children in Uganda become a political instrument for the rebels.
My explanation is children can be a political instrument by using them to create a moral dilemma, recruitment amplification, and relocation of fear. Moral dilemma is created by replacing children in LRA march in armed conflict. When the children move in their march, it is created a confussion for the armed groups or state to against LRA. They confuse to protect children or protect the country, and emerge a conflict between rights of state and rights of human being. In the other hand by abducted them in a mass number can create a relocation of fear that increase LRA's bargaining position. So, thats why because of children is vulnerable and easy to manipulated is very easy for them to use children for their instrument. Children become political instrument in Africa

That's all the examples of CHEs. The various forms of violence that characterise CHEs can be describe as functional, that is, they have utility for those controlling it, and spesific, that is, they are deeply infused with meaning relating to economic, political and or social agendas.
My beloved reader, this our world. World which become worse time after time. Maybe we cant do something to overcome this trouble, but we still have a heart to help them who become the victims of it through the simple way we can do. Lets do our aspiration for our family.

Thank You

If I Can....

2008-11-25T14:23:00.000+07:00

...I have graduated from my study and I have followed graduation ceremonial yesterday...but, I am sorry for cannot show you my photos yet...I am sure I will be posting it soon....^-^

So, I like to tell something that have growth in my heart from many times ago. About my future planning..the great planning which I want to achieve if I can...before I go to desperate and God bring me to another way....^-^

First is a looking for a job. If I can choose the job that i want, I want to work at media or journalist field. I wanna be a journalist or reporter. It just because by working there, I can build and develop my thought, broaden my sight about everything. I try to avoid to looking for a job at a corporation which the cultural of working is not suitable with my personality, which I always find a routine activity that frozen my mind and make me get bored..

After working for 1 years, i want to college to get a master degree. It's a desire from the following of a scholarship that I have applied before. I apply a fellowship to study abroad today, and maybe wanna get a scholarship in next year. So, I'll take it after working for 1 years.
I have a planning to take a majority in humanitarian aids or global culture, and while a study I wanna learn more about another language beside English. The language I will be taken is depend on the country I study. Because, It can make easier my learning of that language.

So, If I can, I have a working experience and master degree before I get 25 years old. After I get master degree I want to working at NGO. I want to work in third world countries and perhaps live in armed conflict or emergency situation and can help vulnerable group.

That's my ideals of my life. I want to endeavor and want to realize it as much as I can. But I take for granted with everything that God have chosen to me. I hope God will show me a better way...

Voice for My Children...

2008-11-23T13:30:00.000+07:00

Perhaps you far away from me, perhaps I just can hear your voices, your face in many news...

I just can pray and do hope in order to you always be patience, and stand up for every poison of grief in this world...
keep your faith, and be believe that one day you will get a beautiful life
like me here...
God always guide you with every grace and save you every time...
....for every child soldiers around the world, every child labor around the world, hunger children, poor children, and children who feel sad today...may God give you warm and comfort your heart, and bring you to the better place...

Sometimes I Love Indonesia

2008-11-20T19:03:00.000+07:00

I have lived and growth in a country which spread out in south east Asia, near Australia, and Pasific ocean. Actually If I think critically, nothing that I have to be proud from my country. I categorize my country as a fragile states. Politically and Economically my country is under average than the others. Indonesia also do not have many of good human resources, lack of capability make a good system fulfill its society needs, its regulation, fulfill its sustainable development, and the other planning. I dont want to besmirch the performance and ability of my country...just to revise my thought about it. But, beside its lacking than developing countries, I have another opinion about Indonesia...my other thought that sometimes makes me proud and love my country..
Something that always exist and everlasting in Indonesia until present is a its enrichment in natural resources and its diversity, that may be we can see it as a culture...
Archipelago country, this is the name of Indonesia, which describe how much of Island and sea that Indonesia has. Many Island scattered over Indonesia with its distinctiveness. And we see the diversity in it. Indonesia has a lot of ethnic, which stay in those island, and of course every ethnic has different traditional song, traditional dance, has a traditional house, and...their own language.. I really proud when I aware that Indonesia has its own language that we called ' Bahasa Indonesia'. It's a really great when I compare with another countries that most of them using their own colonial language. There are many country which have their own language like India use Hindi, Japan use Japanese with Katakana and Hiragana letters. But much of countries using English, or France, Spanish, and Arabic... the cultural enrichment of my country can be proved when I see my self , I see my self as a Javanese. I am a Javanese (one of ethnic in Indonesia). I have my own traditional clothes, we call it Kebaya, I have own traditional song, dance, and I have own language.. I speak Javanese sometimes beside Bahasa Indonesia. And, you know that Javanese have own letter, like Japanese, Arabic, Mandarin etc. It's called as "Aksara Jawa" Aksara Jawa; the Javanese Letters

So, may be my country is not too famous or rich like others ,and may be my country not like Russia who really big, have a great area, also have a diversity of culture and ethnic... But my country have a lot of ethnic too, good culture, language, which different in every area and island.. whereas It can show that how big Indonesia is..., and prove that we still have many things to be proud...
This really make me that sometimes I think that I Love Indonesia.....

Difficult To Meet

2008-11-15T17:49:00.000+07:00

I am starting to amazed, why it's so difficult to meet blogger from some countries like African countries, from Armenia, Georgia, Burma, or maybe from Kurdistan, from Pasific countries, from Nepal, or Mongolia....
I have some blogging friends who most of them from US, China, Philippines, and Australia, UK, and I really glad to recognize them ( I mean you all..), really interesting to read every posting they write, and knowing some of their life or activity.
But, I also wanna know and may be can sharing with someone from the places like I mention above..
Hopefully I can meet you...

Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at a Glance

2008-11-13T13:25:00.000+07:00

My blogging friend, Tikno has written about refugee with very well review, and then Jim Belshaw also followed him to wrote about refugee, and he wrote it well too. So, I rather lost my idea to write it, because honestly I like to make a review about it too.
But my mind remind something when I remember that I have learnt about Uganda armed conflict and its effect. The effect of conflict for civilians and children. Especially for them who become Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

IDPs camp in the KouKou, Chad

I don’t wanna talk too much just want to recognize you about what IDPs is. Well, IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) is almost same with refugee, but actually it’s different. The different of among them is IDP are people who forced to flee their homes, but unlike refugee. IDPs move just still in their country border. They do not flee to other country, and stay in the safe area.
People become IDPs when they get a violence in their place like armed conflict, so they have to looking for the safe area, and leave their homes. IDPs make their own shelter by create a camp. And I’m certain that the total amount of IDPs in the world is larger than refugee.
Of course people who become IDPs often live separated with their family. They live separated with their children, because of emergency situation.
Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Iraq, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Sudan were among the many countries in which countless women, men and children had their lives torn apart by armed conflicts in 2007. Direct attacks on civilian communities, general insecurity and the destruction of livelihoods forced innumerable civilians to flee their homes.
Giving a help or relief for IDPs is also not as easy as we thought. It is also difficult to get accurate figures of IDPs, because population is constantly fluctuating. Some IDPs maybe returning home while others are fleeing. The safety of IDPs is also not guaranteed. Many IDPs sometimes get a threat. Like in Uganda, many IDPs often get a threat and attack from rebel. They also often loss their children which is being abducted to be a child soldiers. The other threat is also in the form of cannot get an enough food, sanitation, and fragile to be contaminated by the diseases. Iraqi Internally Displaced Persons
Like refugee, IDPs has a regulation by international law for assisting and promoting the rights of refugee. It is written in the 1951 United Nations Conventions Relating to the Status of Refugee and its 1967 Protocol. But, Unlike the case of refugees, there is no international humanitarian institution which has the overall responsibility of protecting and assisting the refugees as well as the internally displaced. A number of organizations have stepped into the breach in specific circumstances.
Looking back to the destiny and the poor experience that IDPs get, I give my conclusion that refugee maybe has a better placed than IDPs. the Emergency life of IDPs is high . IDPs really need special protection, not only rights and liberty. They just can live in camp, easy to get an abusive, violence, and starving, diseases and lack of control from government.
That’s all about IDPs

Global Water Crisis ?

2008-11-09T13:00:00.000+07:00

Of course I wish I were in School. I want to learn to read and write...But how can I? My mother needs me to get water -Yeni Bazan, age 10, El Alto, Bolivia-

Trapped by heavy rain, and unconditional situation to back home, I decide to just stay in a center library in my University for a while...one of the chamber on the third floor of this library seems so quiet. There are no many people familiar to this room. But not me, It's my favourite room in this library. With 2 people here I try to continue surrounding every shelf which fulls of journal and report, and hope can find something that can help my friend to fills its thesis. I stop in front of the row of UNDP journals that really fascinate to be opened. I take one which is launched in 2006, and see the theme in the cover ' Beyond Scarcity: Power, Poverty and Global Water Crisis'...
I try to understand its contents which seems so complete, and make my new planning to write in my new posting. a child enjoys clean water in Ethiopia
the existence of water is a very vital things for every mankind. Like oxygen, we also need water to sustain our life. Without water life could not exist, and beside that, people really need clean water to sustain their health, and maintain their dignity. Beyond the households water also sustain ecological system and provides an input into the production systems that maintain livelihoods. Water pervades all aspects of human development. When they could not get access of clean water, or they lack access to water as productive resources, their rights and freedom will be constraint by ill health or endemic diseases, poverty, and vulnerability. Water gives live to everything, including human freedom and development.
But it turn out, the natural resources that we supposed to always abundant and never going to scarce, at the presents become a dilemma that disturb human security. The world today, especially in the poor countries experience water crisis. The presence water today is unhealthy and limited, and the existence of unhealthy water in many developing countries is a threat which is much greater than armed conflict.

It's about one third of world population were lived in the water crisis countries. Over two million people die every year because of water borne illness, that's almost 4 per minute. Million women and children must hike an average about 4 miles per day to get water, and the water they get is extremely polluted. The boy drinking the last water in Dhaka

The poor are the one who suffer most. Water shortages can mean do a long journey to fetch water, high prices to buy it, food insecurity, and diseases by drinking dirty water. In high income area around Asia, Latin America, and Sub Saharan Africa, people enjoy access several liters per day which delivered into their homes at low prices by public utilities. But the poor in the rural area or slums have access too much less than 20 liters of water per day, per person.
The problems of water sometimes come from inequality among the society. Much of water are used just for world agriculture, industry, and another domestic purpose. Like in India, Irrigation
pumps extract water from aquifers 24 hours a day for healthy farmer, while smallholders depend on vagaries of rain. Here too, the underlying causes of scarcity in the large majority of cases is institutional and political, not a physical deficiency supplies. For the add, at the essentials, water scarcity is a consequence of imbalance between resources utilizations, distribution, consumption, and production under global capitalism. It is not simply as natural phenomena or a matter of increase demand or decrease supply. It is acrisis endangered by political, cultural, and economic practices.
In any cases, not only a human that need water but also the other species which live in this planet. The shortages of water disturbing the ecosystem and environment. The emergence of global warming also donor some impacts, like the rain falls in some area , while the others get drainage.
At least but not last, the urgency of water crisis is undeniable . But I still hope that there is an aware from communities, individuals, or best solution to solve or reduce this problem. Because access to drinking water is a basic human rights...
That's all the condition of water in our world at a glance...Thank you for read it..

Visiting Black Continent

2008-10-29T18:19:00.000+07:00

Visiting Black Continent....
Well, I suppose that all of you can read my mind about what I want to write in my new posting at this time...and yes it's true that at least I wanna tell you about Africa.

So many variation and opinion about the exclusive of African continent, and I also have something impression about this continent.

As long as I study in International relations department, African becomes my favorite concentration to study. Thats why I always take my research and determine my written in the vicinity of it. I like learn about human security in Africa, I like research internal and ethnic conflict in it, I also enjoy to write the intervention of Non Governmental Organization (NGO), human rights activity, or epistemic community role around Africa, and the others....and thats why I have a dream that one day I could spend the rest of my life on there...

starving and endemic diseases are everywhere....

It's not a new thing that Africa always surrounded by the crises, ethnic and internal conflict, human rights abuse, mismanagement natural rich, military coups, and lack of competence human resources. But actually, beside its negative label, Africa also has some goodness. Africa has diversity of ethnic and ancient culture, has a rich natural resources that is really needed by many countries. Beside that, rich cultures and ancient traditions of Africa are as beautiful as its unique geography and wildlife. Although its beauty has been wrapped by the conflict, violence and the poor of their society.

Variation of culture

I remember when I was writing about Nigeria. I can imagine how beautiful the situation on Niger delta (the area which oil is abundant in Nigeria) which swamp, river, mangrove spread all over the region, The humble of the society who keen on fishing and planting, the variation of ethnic and their original culture, and the most important, that place has filed a million treasure inside its soberness...it is oil....which finally can destroy everything...

Nigeria

’s life...is finally full of oil. Oil cover everything in every corner of Nigeria... oil make a rapacious, make a colonization, make a struggle, and make a sorrow for majority of Nigerian....

till they face a new fact that 'they poor in their own richness'. Niger delta community finally just get a deep impact...they lack of infrastructure, health care, starving, oil pollution, and other grief. Oil just for who have an authority, who have an influence in the politics.Niger Delta today, oil spoils the area..

from Nigeria,going to Great lakes area which cover Uganda, Congo (DRC), Tanzania, Kenya, etc. The situation almost same no different with

Nigeria

. But, it's not concern in oil, but military coup. We can see many conflict, where peoples have to move in IDP (Internally Displaced Persons), when women and children become direct part of the war...and when they always in frighten conditions, because of rebel attacks...

children and civilians are victims..

One things that we need to know why it all must happen in Africa is, "in spite of their accession to independence, most countries are still dominated by previous traditions of colonial rule. As a result, new political elites lacked experiences with human rights, democracy and rule of law, and felt little commitment to such prequisites. Further, they frequently attached greater importance to other goals, such as the consolidation of state authority, or the use of state power to further personal and tribal objectives"

Thats all about Africa at a Glance. Africa still inspiring me. I hope one day the situations and their destiny can be better. ...and for the last, I still want to say 'I just love Africa'

Indonesian Indegenous People

2008-10-21T17:01:00.000+07:00

Kubu People who live in the middle of forest in Jambi area for a long time

Asmat tribes in Papua area

Hello everybody...this I recognize you about indigenous people. May be some of you have much known about them. Yes, indigenous people almost have same comprehension with primitive people. They are people who historically belonged some area or nations before its colonization or transformation into nation state. Indigenous people has a unique culture, and very traditional. Usually they also lack of education and the knowledge of technology. They often get a discrimination act among others and get abusive by both of society and government. This the statement from United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UPFII) about indigenous people "Indigenous peoples around the world have sought recognition of their identities, their ways of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources; yet throughout history, their rights have been violated. Indigenous peoples are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world today. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect the rights of the world’s indigenous peoples."
Indonesia also has indigenous peoples. They are the part of suku Asmat (Asmat tribe) in Papua, suku Kubu (Kubu tribe) who live in the forest in Jambi area, Badui in west Java, and the others... The Servant in my home also indigenous people. She's madurese ( madura tribe). She came from remove area in my town. Her name is Mrs Jupri. Actually her name is Mrs Rodiyah. Because of her son's name is Jupri, so everybody called her Mrs Jupri. Her original name is very seldom to be known of many people instead. She can't speak Indonesian fluently, but she really kind people...

Doaku hari ini

2008-10-09T20:14:00.000+07:00

Tuhanku yang maha pengasih dan maha penyayang....
hari ini aku ingin memanjatkan doa dan bercakap-cakap
hanya sejenak denganmu...
Tuhanku....
ada kesedihan yang merasuk di dadaku hari ini...
kesedihan pertama...,
hari ini seperti biasa aku berfikir kembali pada masa depanku...
ada rasa tak enak dan mundurnya rasa optimis yang dalam ketika aku bingung dengan pekerjaan.
ku bersyukur padamu Tuhan, atas kesempatan wawancara di tempat mbak Natali kemarin..
tapi kenapa ya aku merasa ada rasa tidak puas dalam hati...
betapa berdosanya aku yang tidak mampu untuk menyukuri anugrahmu...
harusnya aku bersyukur ada yang menawari aku pekerjaan.
tapi mengapa aku ingin yang lebih, aku ingin di tempat yang lebih, nggak mau di Jember, dengan posisi yang lebih dari sekedar menjadi 'accounting manager' yang dalam pikiranku membosankan dan jauh dari kepribadian...
maafkan aku ya Tuhan, atas segala isi hatiku yang jelek, tidak pernah bersyukur, dan hanya memandang ke atas...
atas segala ambisi dan keinginan yang tak kunjung reda.
Tuhanku, aku ingin kembali mengejar mimpi dan cita-citaku.
tapi, aku ingin selalu rendah hati dan bersyukur atas segala yang kau beri
aku harap engkau kan memberi aku sebuah penawaran yang kiranya akan membawa diriku ke jalan yang tepat.
kesedihan kedua ku hari ini adalah
tentang dia.
aku lelah Tuhan...
dengan segala paksaan dalam hatiku, dengan apa yang lakukan...
aku ingin selalu menyayangi dia. aku ingin memberi dia inspirasi, motivasi yang tak terhingga..
seperti yang kau lakukan padaku...
tapi...ternyata aku nggak tahan.
dan mungkin lebih baik seperti ini.
aku bingung harus berkata apa untuk mulai meninggalkannya.
aku sedih harus meninggalkannya.
aku ingin dia bahagia.
tapi aku harus bagaimana jika hatiku remuk redam seperti ini...

Tuhanku terimakasih sudah mendengarkan ceritaku seperti ini. semoga esok engkau menjadikan aku anak yang lebih baik, memberiku akal sehat, memberi aku kelembutan hati , memberi kesehatan untuk keluargaku. amin....

Recognising Indian Women

2008-10-05T09:24:00.000+07:00

Hi there..... in this section i like to talk about the status of women in India. Actually this is the topic of my friend's thesis. The reason I choose India as one of my object is just because of the status of Indian women which is marginalized, and India is a society where the male is greatly revered. Therefore, women especially young girls get little respect and standing in this country. The women of the households are required to prepare the meal for the men. Who eat most of the food. Only after the males are finished eating, the females can eat.

Indian women also lack of education. They have a little opportunity in the politics, government, and can't develop they own career. The other discrimination that is taken by of Indian women is a the customary to get abusive treatment. They often get a rape, and pressure from society.
the reason why India culture is discriminate women is because of patriarchy system which is roots and growth in Indian society. This system still exist till now. But, at a present there are many of movement which begin to commit by Indian women. Feminism movement is a one thing that often do by most of Indian women who aware with their situation. We can see many of campaign in India to show the existing of women and attempt to abolish the discrimination and their culture of 'man majority'. From Sati movement, Vandana Shiva Movement, Chipko Movement and the other women movements in India
According to India's constitution, women are legal citizen of the country and have a equal rights with men. But, Because lack of acceptance of Indian's male. Indians women suffer immensely and being discriminate. By the progress of Indian's women movement the hard culture of patriarchy can be eroded. For the new fact, we can see the India president at a present. Pratibha Devisignh Patil that now is an Indian president, is the first Indian women who can be a president along the time. So it prove that the culture can be change .

.......Hope the Indian Women can get a better place a equality,,,...

Child Soldiers...

2008-09-22T07:20:00.000+07:00

night commuters..try to looking for secure places to avoiding abduction

Child soldiers.....
thats the topic of my thesis. actually, at the first times I really interested to take this themes, because it's very unique and no one ever discuss it.
But, after I study it deeply, I begun to love with my write in those thesis. Yeah..I begun to really like and interesting with child soldiers.
maybe we ever heard about the involvement children in armed conflict. children are using in every part of the war. They treat very unfair, abusive, and always get torture.
Not only the rebels or opposition who using them, but also the government army sometimes using them with large scale..they recruit children through conscription, abducting, or even child soldiers involve in the military as a volunteer.
almost all of African country using them in their internal conflict, and the next, Asian countries (Myanmar is the biggest record). but beside that... the developing country like US, Norway, British also recruit them in their army . US using them when Iraqi offences...
but I specifically my study in Uganda. Uganda is the largest country in African who keep child soldiers. They Use both by Lord Resistance Army (rebels)and Uganda People Defence Forces (Uganda Army). about 3 from 4 children in Ancholiland (district in northern Uganda) vanish because of abducted and offences. Uganda children also do a long journey to looking for a shelter in order to avoid from abducting. This habitual activity often called night commuters. the total of night commuters is so high in Uganda.
in 2006, ICC want to arrest LRA, so LRA demobilized their child soldiers and other captivity. but until now, the captive of LRA still remain, especially in border or Sudan.

by my story I like to call u, to remain our emphaty to suffer children like these. we don't have to do a hard thing, just try to change our lifestyle. coz, so many people difficult to reach a proper life and happiness. be happy and grateful with our life. God bless us and them

Doa

2008-09-18T05:53:00.000+07:00

"doa adalah kekuatan besar suatu umat untuk mengubah nasibnya....,dan Tuhan menjawab doa hamba-hambanya....."

doa memberikan kedamaian disaat hati kita terbelenggu oleh keinginan, ingin sukses, merasa senang, sakit hati, putus asa,
dan bahkan dalam keadaan damai, doa kan semakin membuat kedamaian...
biasakanlah untuk berdoa....
tak usah dengan membaca ayat-ayat yang panjang..
berdoalah dengan sepenuh hati, berbicaralah apa yang ingin disampaikan
ketika ingin memulau atau mengakhiri hari,
atau kapanpun kita mau, dalam keadaan apapun...
ceritakanlah pada-Nya kesenangan kita hari ini, rasa syukur, kepedihan...
dan rasa cinta kita padanya....
karena Tuhan kan mendengarkan kita, tersenyum di atas kita dan melihat
ketika kita berdoa padanya....
dia kan memberikan rahmat atas kebahagiaan kita, obat penyejuk untuk segala kepedihan kita,
petunjuk bagi kita yang tersesat
Hanya Dia yang setia pada kita, tempat kita kembali...
membawa kita pada tempat yang aman, dan membantu mendewasakan kita...

BaLi

2008-09-16T21:02:00.000+07:00

Bali is the paradise island....
is true for me....
kalau di bilang salah satu tempat favoritku di Indonesia
itu Bali....baru memasuki nomer dua adalah padang...
mungkin banyak temen2 yang menganggap Bali tu tempat biasa...
tempat wisata yang udah pasaran, banyak pantainya n bulenya..
tapi butaku Bali is special....
satu hal yang dapat dipelajari dari Bali adalah
kekentalan tradisi budaya masyarakatnya yang bercampur keindahan alamya
begitu indahnya alam Bali hingga banyak wisatawan asing datang ke sana.
menumpahkan gaya free barat dicampur hedonisme yang membuat lupa diri..
tapi ternyata itu nggak ngaruh buat masyarakat aslinya...
mereka tetep aja suka wira-wiri pake baju adat bawa sesaji,
meletakan bunga n dupa di jalanan....
ngadaain upacara-upacara adat...
seakan-akan ga peduli keadaan sekitar yang tlah berubah...
PS. kenapa ya kok ga ada(sangat jarang) orang asli bali yang menconto gaya bule?
aku suka bali...suka bunga kambojanya, suka pernak-perniknya, suka masyarakatnya, n suka tempatnya juga,,,yang banyak orang asingnya, seakan-akan aku bisa merasakan lagu
'Heal the world to make a better place'
liburan ke Bali bulan juli kemaren adalah liburan paling menyenangkan
aku nginep di kawasan Kuta Winna holiday Villa....
rencana selanjutnya, mau jadi backpacker ke sana abis wisuda...

graduation

2008-09-16T19:59:00.000+07:00

September, tgl 9, bln 9, jam 9

itu adalah waktu di mana aku duduk di kursi panas..
untuk berjuang, bertarung demi menyelesaikan masa studi
selama 4 tahun lebih dikit di jurusan Hubungan internasional ini
masa itu cukup mengangkat perasaanku...memberiku kesempatan
untuk mewujudkan keinginan jadi anak yang bisa lulus cepet di HI
bahagia...tentu saja ada...
bangga...60 persen di otakku...
...mama papa berdoa buatku...
..intan sama tya juga...
..temen-temen, apalagi anak Bush..sangat
...mas shoim...juga...
tapi bagiku kelulusan bukanlah sesuatu yang sangat-sangat istimewa..
aku tau ...bgitu sulitnya lulus dari jurusan HUBUNGAN INTERNASIONAL
karena belajarnya aja 3,,,belajar bahasa inggris (translate bahan), nulis ilmiah, n permasalahan kita
tapi semua itAu bagiku adalah kewajaran...sesuatu yang bakal diraih sebagian besar anak kuliah
jadi tak perlu untuk sangat-sangat dibanggakan...dielu-elukan...
...................................
tak lamapun perih kembali menusuk jantungku...
sebenarnya aku masih belum berkeinginan untuk cepet2 lulus...
aku begitu enjoy dengan dunia kuliahku...
temen-temenku, pelajaranku, kegiatanku...
..........akupun nggak bisa berbbuat apa-apa....
semoga ini memang jalan terbaik untukku....
