Aviation and the Spread of Diseases

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Lion Air "We make people fly"


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

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


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



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


Padang earth quake 7,6 magnitude quake

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

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

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

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

Happy Birthday for My Indonesia


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

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

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

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

I love Indonesia

Hi...

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..
