So I'm going to continue my story where I previously told you about what happened in my life during September. Now, we are entering the overwhelmingly October with all its overwhelming occasions. Remember, this post is a lengthy one, you have been warned. Ready? Let's start our journey!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was only three days after I arrived in Bandung from Karangsambung and before I know it, I was on the train departing from Bandung to Karangsambung again! I prefer riding on a train other than driving a car for a very obvious reason. I just need to eat, sleep, repeat while I'm on train and the only effort I had to do was to make sure I did not miss my station, Kebumen. I arrived there and again, I was teaching those kids all they need to know about geological mapping, and at some random times I would like to go out to patrol their mapping. Well, the truth is, this is what I do everyday while I was there...</div>

My time was up at Karangsambung, so I went back home. But several days after I was back in Bandung, Bayu, one of my newly-made friend while I was at Karangsambung on September were going to Bandung. He brought with him two friends, and so I made new friends with Abe and Ratna. We had fun playing bowling and going out to have some dinner. (Ratna, if you DO read this, I did not mention one name on purpose: to keep your privacy haha!) </div>

Several days after they went back to Purwokerto, I finally able to meet my sweetest friends on earth! Yes, it was time for me to have some gathering with my former functionaries of LFM! We managed to attend Alvin's big day! It was great to know that one more of us were finally able to finish his study at ITB! <i>Fixed banget kita harus cuci gudang di Wisuda April ITB ya Manis! :-*</i></div>

The closer it was to ITB's graduation day, the more I realized that soon I will not be able to spend times with my friends from geological engineering batch 2007. Luckily, we were making a gathering at Muhajir's house in Kanayakan. More about it can be read on <a href="http://rerirarara.blogspot.com/2011/10/kumpul-kumpul-angkatan-di-rumah.html" target="_blank">Lely's blog.</a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We did not feel like the last gathering was enough, so we decided to go to Sariater! This time we rent a villa near Sariater. First, the ladies, led by Chef Shabi were making dinner. After the dinner was ready, we went to Sariater to take a hot bath and had dinner afterward. I have to say that I really enjoyed this! I enjoyed it so much I did not go to sleep, but instead I was chit-chatting with my friends up until morning!<br />

Unfortunately, when I was chit-chatting with my friends at Sariater, Dad called me on 3 AM to tell me that Oma has passed away. I instantly went back home to Jakarta and attended her funeral. I prefer to keep this part for myself only.</div>

First and foremost, let me tell you in advance that this post is not another review of the song, rather this post is about how this song touched me just a few minutes earlier and the things that followed afterward. This post is rather cheesy, or as I like to say it, shows some sensitive side of me. So just read it and I do not even fucking care about what you might think of me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I sucked today. I do not know what happened but my mood went all the way down to the bottom of the abyss. My friends asked me why I looked so lifeless, why there is not any sign of life in my eyes. I do not know either. Maybe it was all because of the burden I carry all these day, that had been accumulated since I started taking my credits for undergraduate thesis.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This burden finally manifested itself today. I do not feel like doing anything, at all. I tweeted sarcastically. All for the hopes that I might feel better, yet I did not. Finally, after spending most of my day being a zombie (that is, to say that I was not actually living life today) I decided to go home to get some sleep and hoped that everything will be better tomorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Yet somehow this song was always being played over and over again in my head. So I downloaded it on my Blackberry and played it. This song is beautiful! I googled to find its lyrics in English and when I found it, I read it. I read it while it was being played on my Blackberry. I bursted into tears. I cried and I cried and I cried again and again and again. Heavy burdens that had been pilling up in my life, all are washed away. I felt like there are this heavy burdens lifted up from my shoulders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The lyrics are beautiful. It gives me strength to get back up from where I fell the last time and to keep going on, pushing forward. It snapped something inside of me. It affected me so great that I was eager to turn on my notebook and post this.</div>

I always think that the best month of the year is September. Why? Because it's my birthday of course! Last September was my definition of fun! Thanks to <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/prahesty">Ayue</a> who so kindly treated me large (and healthy!) at Zenbu PVJ and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/puty">Puti</a> who made an e-birthday card for me. I was also asked to be a field assistant for Mr. Chalid Idham Abdullah, along with <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/rainyrainyrainy">Raini</a> (who just turned into Sarjana Teknik the day before).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It wasn't planned after all. Isto asked me if I could travel to Karangsambung to be Mr. CIA's assistant (<i>baca: supir </i>-_-) for three days. The whole trip was great tho'. I improved my driving skill since I drove like seven straight hours from Bandung to somewhere near Karangsambung! Then again, it was worth it. We took a break at Pringsewu Resto and the staffs there were so kind to celebrate our birthday, gave us presents, and took pictures of us and printed it for us, for free!</div>

I also made new friends while I was at Karangsambung. I met Bayu and Anik, who study Geological Engineering at Unsoed. I taught those younger than me about structural geology, how to recognize brecciation, shear fractures, gash fractures, how to collect all the data the right way using geological compass, and the most important: how to process those data using Rosette Diagram, contouring, Schmidt Net, and the likes.</div>

On July 4 to August 13, 2011 I was doing a geological mapping for my undergraduate thesis in Sumba Island. I got to meet new people, new culture, and I also got new experiences that I'd like to share with the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sumba Island is divided into four regencies: Southwest Sumba, West Sumba, Central Sumba, and East Sumba with Waitabula, Waikabubak, Waibakul, and Waingapu as its headquarters, respectively. The funny thing is, each district in each regencies has its own language, thank God we have Bahasa Indonesia! Sumba also has beautiful sceneries almost all the way, such as Laliang Beach, Wanokaka Beach, Roa Beach, and one exclusive cottage at Nihiwatu, mostly occupied by foreigners. Everyday is summer here! Beautiful clouds, you could even see the stars at night (the most romantic scenery!).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGpBOKb_O1myKRRpFQ-3W9xygQJCzZ0dQXOiY44197y5l-EeZ63cLGNq3ElrUCmYMqYjg5c1nSffODK8NA2hxwVho1ZU9HRVHkLTD9xEB7Kb9oTz5GhyA5pfpmsuWiWVET101t3n98OpI/s1600/P7060566.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGpBOKb_O1myKRRpFQ-3W9xygQJCzZ0dQXOiY44197y5l-EeZ63cLGNq3ElrUCmYMqYjg5c1nSffODK8NA2hxwVho1ZU9HRVHkLTD9xEB7Kb9oTz5GhyA5pfpmsuWiWVET101t3n98OpI/s640/P7060566.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Roa Beach</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beylis is the locals' term for dowry, and yes, it sounds just like Bailey's haha! This so-called Beylis system regulates the conditions that must be fulfilled should a man want to marry a woman. He must bring with him certain amounts of buffaloes, horses, and pigs to the woman's house in order to be able to take the woman with him. I happened to be very lucky because during my stay there, there are lots of celebrations and parties I attend. Everything is celebrated here, from the death of someone, marriage, building of a house, etc! Each party lasts from 3 to more than 3 days!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mostly the locals here are Christians, with Catholics and Moslems as the not-so dominant religions. What I love the most about the religions here is the tolerance. Different religions are highly appreciated. <i>Contohnya, ketika ada makan-makan dan pesta ini terbuka untuk umum, yang memotong daging sapi adalah orang Muslim, untuk menghormati aturan di agama Islam. Contoh lainnya, teman saya yang beragama Islam diminta untuk memotong ayam sendiri baru dagingnya dimasak untuk dimakan olehnya.</i> Their tolerance towards other religions are high and I wish the rest of the Indonesians could act and behave just like the people of Sumba did. What a great example of inter-religious harmony.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every year there are several festival held here, such as Fasola, Horse-race, with each village representative competes against each other for their pride. There are also tombs in front of each house to bury family members there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The locals do farming, gardening, and raising for living, so they are able to supply themselves with rice, cassavas, and meats. Each family has two to three dogs to guard their houses. What I personally think the best of Sumba is the coffee! I bought 4 kilos of it and brought it home. My family also agreed with me. As for the locals living in cities, they work as civil servants. My first impression is they work hard and highly sociable. They are also very nice; as I rode my motorcycle, they would say something like, "Good morning! Good afternoon! Good night! Take care!" etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Traditional clothing here is very simple. Men would wear headbands, sarong, and parang, usually riding a horse to complete the look. Women would wear kain and sarong, but the old ladies don't feel like covering their breasts because they say they can't stand the heat.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is unpleasant in many ways, and it is even more unpleasant to experience it yourself.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I drink too much, I feel great about myself. Fast forward to the next 20 years, I think I'll ask myself this very question, "What have I done to myself?"</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmXjdT0JOZ3kh5CzH5MK7MRou29CJ0K3nSk7Fcc459UfuGDHUoEZ7hOjQOzS-LBnGeYLWMX7VD27ubCBL5Hw-xNG6hM-m6Oo2XmEjQCRm6ap6UrazhvqxtcIHj3r6kBS2hQTSclJNP20/s1600/33y6ik4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmXjdT0JOZ3kh5CzH5MK7MRou29CJ0K3nSk7Fcc459UfuGDHUoEZ7hOjQOzS-LBnGeYLWMX7VD27ubCBL5Hw-xNG6hM-m6Oo2XmEjQCRm6ap6UrazhvqxtcIHj3r6kBS2hQTSclJNP20/s320/33y6ik4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

This time I will try to post a review of SCREAM 4, officially the latest movie I've watched in a theatre. The cast are all still the same (Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette), with several new characters which played quite an essential role in the movie.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just like the prequels, SCREAM 4 starts with a scene showing pretty girls (mostly blonde) received unknown calls from the killer, which later will kill the girls - still with SCREAM's style - by stabbing her with a knife in every part of her body reachable by hands. This one has been quite a trademark in SCREAM's killing-style and I like it that way. This time, SCREAM 4 brought us a different approach in the opening style. You know it's just like when you watch a movie in a movie in a movie, well, something like that. This is a classic way of telling stories but I still like it nevertheless.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The rest of the movie is just like the previous movies, where Sidney, Gale, and Dewey struggle to find the Ghostface in order to solve the mystery and the background of the killings the Ghostface had done. I think this movie reminds me of the late 90's movies, complete with all the classical settings, old town styles, suburban feels, high school life (you know, all the "it" girls, jocks and the likes) just like I (Still) Know What You Did Last Summer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One thing I find quite disappointing is the motives behind the killings. It's just waaay to cheesy! But in the end it pays back to me when Sidney said, "<i>Don't fuck with the original!</i>" Man, it was like the best quote I've heard since early 2000's (okay, I am exaggerating it!).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, to conclude all the paragraphs above, SCREAM 4 is a great movie. This movie will shock you with its thriller-slasher style, but still it will entertain you by reminding you about how the movies on late 90's should be, with a little touch-ups to make it relevant with the year 2011. Just like the taglines say: "<i style="font-weight: bold;">New decade. New rules.</i>"</div>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50405292463432151.post-49330559460719126542011-06-08T03:04:00.002+07:002011-06-08T03:13:14.234+07:00ON PARENTING<div style="text-align: justify;">People tend to pay more attention when we do something bad compared to when we do something good.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is true, sadly. Most of us at least once in our life ever experienced the moment when we have done everything as best as we could, yet we received little to none appreciation. Instead, when we messed something up, all of a sudden we get people's attention. I just don't understand it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I was little, I used to messed something up to get my parents' attention. Yeah, what was a toddler like me supposed to do to get their attention? I was on my osh kosh b'gosh age back then. Luckily, at the time being, I don't have to mess something up to get their attention. I am blessed with loving and caring parents.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Looking at the current YouTube's phenomenon, where all of a sudden we have Rebecca Black and the likes, singing their so-called songs (if that could even be called a song), with their cheapskate lyrics, I can't help but asked myself, "<i>How is the younger generation been doing nowadays?</i>".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We have lots of wannabes and hasbeens, they are craving to be the center of attention. This is a wake up call to all the parents out there: <i>Have you give enough attention to your child? Have you been a good parent, giving a good example to your child on living life? Have you take any lessons about parenting?</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Personally, I believe the quality of our parenting skills is reflected on our child's behavior.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">-</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This post is inspired by Scream 4, because I find the motives behind all the killing is just waaay too cheesy.</div>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50405292463432151.post-48698482148513932472011-06-06T20:03:00.001+07:002011-06-06T20:22:38.746+07:00SHITTY MUMBLINGS<blockquote>Shit happens. But I believe this will be another blessings in disguise.</blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">I tweeted those sentences because I just don't know what else to tweet. There are problems with my thesis which caused me to switch the topic. Previously I was at Banjarmasin collecting data about coals, earlier this morning when I was discussing my geological map with my academic advisor, he decided that my Banjarmasin block could not be used for my thesis. To cut the long story short, I will have to do another mapping at Sulawesi or Timor. This too, caused me to be graduated on April 2011. Life seems to be a bitch, right?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, of course whether life seems to be a bitch or not depends on my perspective. I choose to see this as another opportunity to improve my mapping skills and to make a better thesis. The hard thing is to give my parents (read: my mother) the understanding to this whole problem so she could support me instead of scolding me. Well, I guess we both come from a different generation. Different generation have different perspective and values, right? *sigh*</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I might be going back to Jakarta next wednesday, so I really am looking forward until that time comes!</div>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50405292463432151.post-61122880983080197552011-05-31T02:07:00.000+07:002011-05-31T02:07:52.706+07:00MAY 2011<div style="text-align: justify;">I seldom post anything on my blog lately, mainly because I am busy right now doing my thing in South Kalimantan. So, to make it up to you, I'll share some interesting blogs I used to browse during my time here. But let me first stress myself here that I browsed through these websites with my Blackberry, so these websites are indeed not a bandwidth-killer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://zenhabits.net/">1. Zenhabits.net</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This site contains all I need to apply Zen in a practical way. I learned to be a better person by trying to be in harmony with myself.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://mnmlist.com/">2. Mnmlist.com</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another minimalist site telling us how important it is to stay minimalist (simple) in this already complicated world.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://celestinechua.com/blog/fasting-success">3. The Personal Excellence Blog</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love this website! I am sharing this link mainly because I want to practice water fasting for 21 days. I spent most of my May being a super-duper-badass-carnivore, so I decided to detoxified myself with this method. Whether you are interested or aren't, you should visit this because it'll give you new insights about food and body.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are more, but I think the most interesting ones are those above.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One more thing, should you want to learn about yoga, here's a link from <a href="http://benlaksana.tumblr.com/post/5932495271/ben-can-you-write-down-the-steps-if-i-want-to">Ben Laksana's tumblr</a> telling us how to practice yoga in 5 simple steps. I am still a beginner too, tho'.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I am currently at Banjarmasin, South Borneo. Tonight I was having a meeting in form of dinner (yeah, you could call that a meeting right?). Anyway, tonight we (actually, I just listened to everything that was being said) were discussing about what we are going to do for the next seven days here. What are we going to do? Where are the places we are going to visit? How much time will be needed from this place to that place and so on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The objective of this seven days field trip is to observe the overall geological condition of this area. Whereas the next step, the hard work, will be held several days after the field trip's done. Until that time comes, I am going to enjoy this whole experiences!</div>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50405292463432151.post-66756891960252445012011-04-12T02:49:00.002+07:002011-04-12T02:54:40.029+07:00WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE<div style="text-align: justify;">Everything just happens so fast I couldn't keep track of it. Last monday, I submitted my Final On-Job Training report, followed by catching up with my academic advisor, Mr. Benyamin Sapiie about my final project assignment. Last thursday, I had had my OJT presentation followed by a very great moment with my fellow functionaries and friends at Geological Engineering at ITB's Graduation Day on Saturday. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Ben told me to contact Mr. Agus from PT Sugico Graha to discuss about my Final Assignment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So here it is.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today, I am going back to Jakarta. On Wednesday, I will meet Mr. Agus to have a briefing about my Final Assignment. On Friday, I'll be on my way to South Borneo to undergo some data-collecting for my Final Assignment. I'll be back to Jakarta approximately on June and I will prepare myself for comprehension test while finishing up my Final Assignment and try my best to be graduated on October. I just hope that everything will turn out according to the plans stated above.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hopefully.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I also need to know how the overall presentation will be like since I too, have an internship presentation due someday only God knows (in other words, I am too lazy to work on it right now :P).</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Having watched her presentation, I now have a good picture of how to deliver my speech and also how to do it properly. Anyway, she did great and the day before, she also gave me <i>Freia Kjekssjokolade KVIKK LUNSJ</i> from her trip to Europe. She said that many skier there eat this chocolate when they are taking a break from skiing, so this chocolate is very, very European! Her promotion got me and I liked it very much I don't have the heart to eat that chocolate (<i>maksudnya sih gak sampe hati buat makan coklatnya, sayang bok!</i>).</div><br />

Since I have no more credits left for the rest of my year at ITB (hell, I even took more than 144 credits already!), I only need to prepare for my internship presentation for the lecture and that's it! No more class, no more study (yeah, right), and best of all, I can do everything I want since I have lots and lots of free time!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So far, I don't think of myself as a productive person because all I ever do in Bandung since last sunday is just wake up in the morning, do some sports, read novels (lucky I have high piles of novels in my room), go to campus for no reason, eat, sleep, repeat. Meanwhile I still have a comprehensive test, but in order to overcome this laziness, I decided to dedicate this week as a refreshing week. I spent most of my time meeting old friends, catching up with them, and try to be as supportive to all my friends as best as I could.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just tonight, I met my high school friends again. One of my friend, M, arrived at Bandung this afternoon because tomorrow morning he'll have a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition. Danar, who go to college at Bandung also enrolled in the same competition with M. So we always try to use this as an opportunity to meet up and hang out. Our template place for hanging out most likely is Q-meals, it opens 24/7, serves good food, good music, cold beers. Ahh, life is good when you could spend it with your precious friends! So, I might be jobless, but I am going to start my productive week next monday. I really wish it could be another manic monday! Yeah, so jobless, eh? I don't think so!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Anyway, I chose Internship and here is some stories from my internship at PT PetroChina International Companies in Indonesia, Ltd. from February 1st to March 12th, 2011.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I made new friends here, they are Indra, Sasti, Diana, Prihatin, Aryo, and Tika. They all come from different disciples from different universities in Indonesia. I also experienced this extraordinary program with my friends from Geological Engineering, they are Dany, Ade, not to mention Ryan and Rizky which happened to be accepted in PetroChina. During this internship, I had some ups and downs, but because of them, I managed to perform well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">They were my lunch-time partners, but my only regret is that I didn't have the photos of us all together. Anyway, I also had two supervisors, Ms. Dian Ika P. and Mr. Banu Andhika. They were great, fun, and they had been very kind to share their knowledge with me. I was stationed at Subsurface Department, where we processed all data taken by the Exploration Department. My head manager, Mr. Bambang Wisnu, was a very, very charismatic and a great team leader. I enjoyed discussing with all of them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">On my first week, I learned all the basic theories. On my second week I did boreholes correlation, and the rest of my period I did the petrophysical analysis, progress reports, final presentation, revision, final reports, and lots of other things too many to mention :p</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, I don't feel like writing it all here, so let this poor image do its job of telling what I felt during this internship. It isn't representative tho'.</div><div><br />

OJT, which stands for On-Job Training, is where I'll try to channel everything that I've learned in all of my previous semesters, putting it into practice. My theme is "Well Site Geologist and Well Log Analysis". My job is, frankly speaking, to analyze well log data, interpreting what it means and try to make a conclusion from those data.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First of all, I know this is kind of late, but let me wish you guys a happy new year 2011!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, all of a sudden, when my mind was wondering through seas of ideas, the thought of how to make life worthwhile crossed my mind. I personally don't know (yet) of how to achieve this, but then Hardi told me to embrace my passion. Somehow, I am still unsure of what my real passion is, but I think I'll work on this later.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The next thing that crossed my mind is this: I should accept myself as it is. The reason why this comes to mind is because I always feel insecure, being surrounded (a.k.a. compared) with lots of people. Maybe that's because I judge people. Oh yes, I judge people a lot, next thing I knew that thought strikes me with no remorse. The result: a very low self-esteem.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maybe I should stop judging people.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My prayer for tonight and the following days:</div><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><i>Dear God, please make me able to accept myself as it is, for I am created in Your image. I am special, can not be compared with others. Please make me realize that everyone's special, for each and one of us are Your creation, each of us have our own specialties, capabilities, and passions. Please give me wisdom to keep that in my heart, and in my head. I need to learn to be grateful, for who am I to complain, God. Even though I can't see You, but I believe in You and I know You are listening. Thank you for everything God, in the name of Jesus Christ, I prayed, amen.</i></blockquote>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50405292463432151.post-21331804977490138362010-12-07T00:46:00.000+07:002010-12-07T00:46:46.108+07:00THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER (2010)<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NNHKG_mfgRQM8vk-PVbMfo-nrcptpIcyZho-3jHVWp6Z9Y5eLDAmp_rIHLvgTh633zYOHaYQHAwiz3_eTOHjO3oS7sXhPxD9rQb4oMxRoltofSqq72UkWnEnW1c578aFERwpzPY0f7M/s1600/chronicles_of_narnia_the_voyage_of_the_dawn_treader_ver9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NNHKG_mfgRQM8vk-PVbMfo-nrcptpIcyZho-3jHVWp6Z9Y5eLDAmp_rIHLvgTh633zYOHaYQHAwiz3_eTOHjO3oS7sXhPxD9rQb4oMxRoltofSqq72UkWnEnW1c578aFERwpzPY0f7M/s320/chronicles_of_narnia_the_voyage_of_the_dawn_treader_ver9.jpg" width="216" /></a><i>Finally! The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader!</i> Film ini adalah salah satu film fantasi yang paling saya tunggu-tunggu setelah Harry Potter! <i>Man, how I love fantasy movie!</i> Pada film Narnia kali ini, yang berperan utama adalah Lucy, Edmund, serta sepupu mereka, Eustace. Diceritakan bahwa pada film ini mereka bertiga bersama dengan Prince Caspian serta Reepicheep harus melakukan petualangan menuju ke <i>'The End of The World"</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yang saya suka dari film Narnia kali ini adalah kenyataan bahwa film ini ditayangkan dalam format 3D, akan tetapi efek 3D dari film ini tidak terlalu berlebihan dan didukung dengan jalan cerita yang segar serta alur penceritaan dengan klimaks yang menarik di ujung film. Semua dibuat begitu pas, tidak seperti Transformers 2 yang menyuguhkan efek 3D yang "wah" akan tetapi jalan cerita yang (<i>sorry to say</i>) sampah dan dangkal. Film ini juga memberikan intrik-intrik yang ringan yang penempatannya pas.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kelebihan utama dari film Narnia ini menurut saya terletak pada scriptnya. Scriptnya dibuat begitu inspiratif, lekat dengan kehidupan kita sehari-hari, dan sangat kuat. Beberapa hal yang saya pelajari dari scriptnya adalah bahwa saya harus selalu mempunyai iman, keberanian untuk mempercayai apa yang belum dapat saya lihat, bahwa untuk mengetahuinya saya harus menjalaninya, untuk tidak mudah jatuh dalam pencobaan (atau dalam film ini sering disebut, <i>"Do not give in to temptation"</i>), serta berbagai hal lain. Mungkin ini juga yang membuat banyak orang dapat terpikat dengan mudahnya pada film ini, karena film ini mengajarkan kepada kita kebijaksanaan yang praktis, yang dapat kita praktikkan dalam kehidupan kita sehari-hari. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoH-jYuntdWKSfCIHNq-p4mPNt64EkPWejOhl4HdzBsoMJVmtyoKsO4TGM_mmfSPgHVYj-4uNS3W-pGzVJmkpxSYey1-DUOmFuf2bqjhgGcljXrRnm_kjfyAH69_0BV-Y1vvWkvbkiInA/s1600/973c0c4df7b0d300_narnia-voyage-of-dawn-tread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoH-jYuntdWKSfCIHNq-p4mPNt64EkPWejOhl4HdzBsoMJVmtyoKsO4TGM_mmfSPgHVYj-4uNS3W-pGzVJmkpxSYey1-DUOmFuf2bqjhgGcljXrRnm_kjfyAH69_0BV-Y1vvWkvbkiInA/s320/973c0c4df7b0d300_narnia-voyage-of-dawn-tread.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hal lain yang tidak kalah menarik, seperti yang telah saya tuliskan sebelumnya, adalah pada setting dunia Narnia. Sebagai penggemar berat film fantasi, tentu saja saya sangat penasaran akan lokasi-lokasi <i>magical</i> yang disuguhkan di film ini, akan karakter-karakter yang <b><i>Wow!</i></b> yang selama ini hanya pernah saya lihat dalam versi 2D, dan bayangkan betapa bahagianya saya akhirnya dapat melihat semua elemen film fantasi ini ke dalam versi nyata, versi 3D! Sensasi yang ditimbulkan tidak ada bandingannya!<i> I AM SO HAPPY AND REALLY SATISFIED!!!</i> :D</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hal terakhir yang akan saya bahas di sini adalah kenyataan bahwa sampai detik ini pun, saya belum pernah sama sekali membaca novel The Chronicles of Narnia! Ya, sama sekali belum pernah! Akan tetapi begitu mulai menonton film ini, saya langsung dapat dengan mudahnya mengikuti <i>flow</i> dari cerita sehingga saya jamin Anda akan dapat mengerti jalan cerita ini dengan cepat.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1sfAXFXFG7NHei-jrHFfiVK-PgRzOzjs6Tm-qT6CWtDPOmWWFNQUBIGIbekCIZwtVdplZIntk55WWD09tqnL1KRycB6B89y3cptrqWMOh63IlIfuoJ9xqFUvYVYS0FhJOTfKp7dVBtJ8/s1600/narnia+3+voyage+of+teh+dawn+treader+film.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1sfAXFXFG7NHei-jrHFfiVK-PgRzOzjs6Tm-qT6CWtDPOmWWFNQUBIGIbekCIZwtVdplZIntk55WWD09tqnL1KRycB6B89y3cptrqWMOh63IlIfuoJ9xqFUvYVYS0FhJOTfKp7dVBtJ8/s320/narnia+3+voyage+of+teh+dawn+treader+film.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kesimpulannya, film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader ini masih sama seperti film-film Narnia yang sebelumnya. Anda akan dibawa mengikuti petualangan di dunia Narnia yang epik, dengan banyaknya unsur kebijaksanaan yang ingin disampaikan kepada kita, serta gambarnya yang cukup memanjakan mata. <i>Go watch it and I believe you'll get much, much more wisdom!

Setelah semua kabar heboh mengenai release film Harry Potter yang satu ini, gue berhasil menonton film ini bersama dengan teman-teman jurusan! <i>Well, what needs to be said? This movie is superb! I mean, I started reading Harry Potter novels when I was in my 5th grade of elementary school and now, 11 years later, here I am watching the most-anticipated Harry Potter movie ever been made!</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Berbeda dengan film-film sebelumnya, film Harry Potter kali ini tidak terlalu banyak berbasa-basi dan adegan pembukaan langsung dimulai dengan suasana mencekam yang memang mendominasi hampir keseluruhan film. <i>Flow</i> film langsung dibuat tegang dengan adegan pembuka yang <i>intimidating</i>, dan kemudian, BAM!, film dilanjutkan kembali dengan adegan-adegan yang cukup suram dan langsung membawa <i>mood</i> saya sebagai penonton tertekan.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tidak hanya sampai di situ saja, tetapi pada film Harry Potter kali ini, Anda akan menemui banyak sekali korban berjatuhan, dan mungkin saja salah satu korban itu adalah tokoh yang Anda sukai. Di satu sisi, hal ini bagus karena memang realistis dan menekankan suasana peperangan dan konflik di dunia sihir yang sedang terjadi.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Berbeda dengan kebanyakan film Harry Potter sebelumnya, pada film ini tidak ada pengenalan karakter-karakter yang terdapat di dalam film. Mungkin David Yates, sang sutradara, mengasumsikan bahwa penontonnya adalah orang-orang yang sudah mengerti akan jalan cerita Harry Potter itu sendiri. Di sisi lain, hal ini mungkin akan sedikit menyulitkan para penonton yang tidak mengikuti jalan cerita dari Harry Potter sebelumnya. Akan tetapi, saya rasa ini adalah keputusan yang tepat karena tujuan saya menonton film ini adalah untuk mengetahui kelanjutan dari kisah Harry Potter yang sebelumnya, bukannya mengulang pengenalan saya akan tokoh-tokoh dari film-film terdahulu.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjolAK7UpSIq9qvC74fYkummCe9hgQ3tXB8c2UTPcRHqAIPeiRHrk_cLk1wMgbQmS8RMApIF5vQq2x-VDnOcWCvH0ZNUFZOyQC1N4DZ2Sf3sbR7jM3LqxxXgvY7iQoKyiZSO6ZRGmrM-nI/s1600/Celebs%252BSet%252BHarry%252BPotter%252BDeathly%252BHallows%252B7WETkT3PcBhl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjolAK7UpSIq9qvC74fYkummCe9hgQ3tXB8c2UTPcRHqAIPeiRHrk_cLk1wMgbQmS8RMApIF5vQq2x-VDnOcWCvH0ZNUFZOyQC1N4DZ2Sf3sbR7jM3LqxxXgvY7iQoKyiZSO6ZRGmrM-nI/s400/Celebs%252BSet%252BHarry%252BPotter%252BDeathly%252BHallows%252B7WETkT3PcBhl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Beberapa teman saya ada yang mengeluhkan jalan cerita yang lambat, tidak jelas, terkesan tidak penting, dan bertele-tele, akan tetapi menurut saya, justru semua hal itu membuat film ini menjadi lebih realistis. Hal ini bermula dari keputusan David Yates untuk tidak meng-<i>cut</i> cerita apapun dari novel ke film sehingga menjadikan film ini dibagi ke dalam dua bagian. Saya, sebagai pembaca setia novel Harry Potter, tentu saja sangat tidak keberatan akan hal ini, bahkan saya justru sangat menyukai hampir setiap detail cerita film ini. Saya dibuat puas dengan segala konflik, ketegangan, dan adegan-adegan yang (mungkin) dianggap tidak penting. I <i>soaked it all into my very eyes and kept it all in my mind.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Salah satu hal yang berkesan adalah saya sangat tercengang melihat perkembangan-perkembangan setiap karakter di film ini, yaitu Harry Potter (<i>Daniel Radcliffe</i>), Ronald Weasley (<i>Rupert Grint</i>), serta Hermione Granger (<i>Emma Watson</i>). Bandingkan dengan pertama kali Anda menonton film Harry Potter, Anda tentu saja akan merasa film Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone lebih cocok untuk disebut sebagai film anak-anak. Akan tetapi, film ini jelas bukan film untuk anak-anak, melihat genrenya yang adalah <i>action</i> serta adanya adegan-adegan yang sudah lebih "dewasa" daripada film-film sebelumnya. Intinya, film ini bagus! <i>No need to say more about it.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOBs88YdbUeJZ20Jdved5DmwzE4zhVX2V9k23P3QUu6OJNwpFhkUKzFx8jCozZKfW_o3RVzHODm_NKrtLuPZ4seWgV-fdD9-voN9_k-kK7sLfMghCAimWZVdAZKN52mD-Z8WpM5Ie5IaY/s1600/600full-harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows--part-i-screenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOBs88YdbUeJZ20Jdved5DmwzE4zhVX2V9k23P3QUu6OJNwpFhkUKzFx8jCozZKfW_o3RVzHODm_NKrtLuPZ4seWgV-fdD9-voN9_k-kK7sLfMghCAimWZVdAZKN52mD-Z8WpM5Ie5IaY/s400/600full-harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows--part-i-screenshot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Apart from all the CGIs, the massive world settings (there are LOTS of settings in this movie, starting from the top of the highest mountain, the snowy lake, to the city core of London), I have to say that this movie is one of the best movie being adapted from the novel with the most realistic yet entertaining touch in it. That's it! I think I have said too much about this movie, for fuck's sake just go to the nearest cinema around you and buy the ticket to watch it! I, myself, am willing to pay more to watch this movie more than once! Just as the tagline said, "Nowhere is safe", I hope the second part of this movie won't play safe and will go all-out in the editing process to show us the epic finale of Harry Potter movie.

Well, actually everybody faces this exact situation. I have to take a bath every morning! Well, who doesn't? The problem is, I don't have water heater so it is completely true that I have take a bath everyday with cold water!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One day, well actually it happened this morning, while I was accumulating enough willpower to take the first dip of cold water and applied it to my body, something came across my mind. Let's analogize something!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Imagine that the cold water is all the challenges that we face everyday. It could be your assignments, exams, projects, well, practically it could be anything that forces you to get out from your comfort zone and must be finished in due time. Most people - I, for example - are lazy enough not to start moving and doing it in time. So, the next question is, "What to do?".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course the appropriate answer is just to do it right now, not later nor tomorrow, but now! Once we get into its' flow, we'll be moving forward, we'll get into the flow and it will soon be finished. It's just like the first dip of cold water you apply to your body, and then you'll start to take a bath just like you should do and finished it in no time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, what's the after-effect of taking a bath? You'll feel refreshed like a new-born baby (well, I exaggerate it, of course, but you know what I mean, right?). I think it's just the same feeling we have when we finally get something's done. I feel refreshed, like a heavy burden is finally being taken from my shoulders. And so I am ready to face new challenges.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, that was one thing that came across my mind this morning. But I know for sure that speaking about it is whole lot easier than start doing it. Well, why don't you try doing it right now? I know it takes lots of disciplines to make this into our daily habit, but I know it far too sure that once this thing become our habit, we'll get lots of benefit from it!</div>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50405292463432151.post-62809215285523113512010-10-28T21:11:00.000+07:002010-10-28T21:11:08.017+07:00MIDTERM MADNESS<div style="text-align: justify;">These last three weeks had been one-of-a-hell for me, partly because I have personal problems that needs to be taken care of, and mainly because I've got LOTS of ASSIGNMENTS and also EXAMS to do! Seriously, I know it from the very start that my decision to take 24 credits for this 7th semester seems to be a little bit, errr, too much, but somehow I also know that I could make it through the most hectic semester I've ever been.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First time of the semester, everything seems to be under control, but not now. Now it seems that a week fly so fast because every night there's always something that I have to do. I sleep only 3 to 4 hours a day and that means I'll have to catch up with my lack of sleep during the day. And so be it, mostly half of the day I spent my time sleeping during classes, in between classes, and not to mention the saliva I produced. Completely gross. Ewww...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh and I also forgot to mention that I applied myself to be an academic assistant for two subjects, which means more things to do and less time to sleep. Could it be any worse?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, I don't think so! Apart from the lack of sleep, I think I achieve much. I got to know new students at my faculty, met new people, spent time with my best friends, and whole lot valuable, intangible things! To cut the long story short, I think I am happy with the-new-busy me! :D</div>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50405292463432151.post-91643333384201916552010-10-25T21:36:00.000+07:002010-10-25T21:36:45.049+07:00REGRETS<div style="text-align: justify;">This time I'll write this down in a better way, no cursed-words or whatsoever, no emotion, just plainly logical.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, I am sorry, really sorry for my previous post. I know that you have tried that hard but still I curse you, and for that, I am sorry. I am really sorry if my previous post have insulted you in a way or another, but that's my emotion who did the talking. Now that the emotion had left, I feel really bad. I am sorry.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, I am not going to delete the old post because I believe this blog is a part of me, this blog reflects me exactly the way I am (that too, being said, even the cursing is so me). I wonder, can we still be friends? Now that the emotion had left, I feel really guilty, partly because I know that your problem is that big, and partly because I don't think I'll be able to live my day in harmony, knowing that something's not right deep within me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Don't get me wrong, I just do what I am supposed to do. So, until I meet you again next time, will you forgive me for being rude, moody, and for ruining your supposedly-happy day?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I guess whatever the answer, I'll have to speak to you in person. Soon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for reading this post.</div>anggaputrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02878124042981779301noreply@blogger.com1
