Study to Japan

Yesterday me and my best friend, Eva discussed about the application for Indonesian student to continue the school in Japan. Well, we got an information from my friend about studying in Japan after spend the bachelor degree. I really enthusiastic on this information, because it seems that no very difficult things that we would get to apply this. This Japan scholarship is just require the student to able to speak English, and we must not have a capability in Japanese. This scholarship also give us a full cost during we live there.
I have a planning to follow this in the next year, because the closing date in this section is in the late October. I also want to prepare some essay that I want to offer, and ask some recommendation from professor in my faculty.
I wanna make a research about securitization and the role of non state actor in Indonesia as an essay to apply there . But I have'nt found what become my case study yet. I take securitization and role of non state actor and wanna take a majority to study about it cause maybe it will support my planning to working in International Non Governmental Organizations, and work in the overseas, especially emergency area ^-^

Visiting Black Continent

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

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

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

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,,,...
