Thanks 2009: a reflection
In the last 2008, I’ve made I wish that 2009 will be the great year for me. So now, regardless anything bad that come to me (well, I can’t deny that life will not always be perfect), I’ll prove to myself how 2009 has been a great year for me.
I opened 2009 by joining campaign team OBAMA-Oh Bhakti Mansyur. Its a campaign team for Bhakti and Mansyur as President of Student...

Another Chat with God
Aku: Selamat pagi, ya Tuhanku
Tuhan: Silakan masuk, jadi kamu ingin mewawancari Aku?
Aku: Kalau Tuhan ada waktu
Tuhan berkata: Abadilah waktu bagiKu. Maka Aku ada cukup waktu untuk melakukan apa saja. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan apa yang hendak kauajukan kepadaKu?
Aku: Apa yang paling mengejutkan Tuhan mengenai bangsa manusia?
Tuhan: Yang paling mengherankan Aku mengenai bangsa manusia adalah mereka mudah bosan sebagai anak-anak dan mau cepat-cepat menjadi orang dewasa dan kemudian rindu menjadi anak-anak lagi. Mereka merusak kesehatannya dengan mengejar uang dan menghabiskan uang itu untuk pengobatan. Mereka terlalu cemas tentang masa depannya dan melalaikan masa kini sehingga mereka tidak dapat menikmati dengan baik masa sekarang maupun masa depannya. Mereka menjalankan hidup seolah-olah tidak akan mati, tetapi mati seakan-akan tidak pernah hidup.
Aku: Pelajaran apa saja yang pantas kami pelajari?
Tuhan: Mereka perlu belajar supaya apa yang paling utama dalam hidup, bukanlah apa yang mereka miliki, melainkan siapa yang mereka punya dalam hidupnya. Mereka harus belajar bahwa tidak baik untuk membanding-bandingkan diri dengan orang lain sebab semua orang akan diadili menurut nilai pribadinya, bukan sebagai kelompok perbandingannya. Mereka harus belajar bahwa orang kaya bukanlah orang yang memiliki banyak harta, melainkan orang yang punya secukupnya untuk kebutuhannya.
Tuhan: Mereka harus belajar bahwa waktu berapa menit saja perlu untuk menyakiti dan melukai hati orang yang mereka cintai padahal mungkin perlu bertahun-tahun untuk menyembuhkannya. Mereka perlu belajar untuk memaafkan dan mengampuni bahwa sesungguhnya ada banyak orang yang amat mencintai mereka, namun saja tidak tahu bagaimana caranya untuk menyatakan itu dan mengekspresikan perasaannya.
Tuhan: Mereka perlu belajar bahwa meskipun uang dianggap bisa membeli segalanya, namun tidak dapat membeli kebahagiaan. Mereka harus belajar bahwa teman yang baik adalah orang yang mengetahui semua termasuk kekurangan-kekurangan mereka, tetapi tetap menyukainya.
Tuhan: Akhirnya, mereka harus belajar bahwa tidak cukup mereka menerima pengampunan dari orang lain, melainkan mereka harus mengampuni diri sendiri.”
Tuhan: “AnakKu, kamu boleh datang untuk wawancara dengan Aku kapan saja karena Aku tetap siap 24 jam. Tanya apa saja dan Aku akan menjawab. Hanya harus kauingat ini: Orang-orang akan melupakan apa yang kamu katakan atau apa yang kamu perbuat, tetapi mereka tidak akan melupakan apa yang kamu lakukan kepadanya untuk membahagiakan mereka.”
Setelah itu, aku pulang dengan bahagia.

(fotografer yang hobby menulis ) Malam itu jam di handphone sudah menunjukkan pukul 23.00 WIB, sementara aku dan istriku masih on the way home.

Short Message Service between me and my boyfriend...
My BF: what do you think the most fundamental problem that Indonesia face?
Me: I think there are two problem. 1st, the inequality access to education. Poor children, which is the majority of children, still don't get enough education. 2nd, most of Indonesian people is narrow-minded. Indonesian people were suppressed by authoritarian regime on New Order era. They are not allowed to speak their mind. When reformation era come, they suddenly wants to speak anything that they want. But they don't know how to do it, and New Order era has made them don't used to speak freely. So, what they do is talking in behind about someone (gossiping). This is crucial problem, because it makes young people can't solve their problem maturely. They only smart, but they're not mature.
My BF: So, what is the solution?
Me: For the 1st problem, I think the campaign about education for poor is already there. But what is lack from those campaign are the analysis why poor is so prominent to get education, and why they must be put in the number one priority. If you see, I've tried to analyse it on my previous writing about BOP B UI in this blog, but its only based on my experience. For 2nd problem, I think the existence of many motivators such as Mario Teguh, and Reza Gunawan (on twitter) has been so helpful. But they still need to lead their motivations to tell people how it is important to be maturely solve the problem, and how it is important toward our success in life.

sometimes something is not as good as it looks
In the weeks full-of-exams-and-papers , i think this post is really important to be written. So, here is the story
Lately, I feel so bad about my self. I hate my self and my life. The reason is simple. I saw many of my friends joined and won on the competition that I’ve ever think to join this year. But at that time, I had many thought in my head, so I cancel my participation. But seeing my...

I suddenly miss a thing..
Its not about you
Its about him
I now that I’m crazy now
But I do miss some moments with him
Maybe its because we have the same interests at the past
But now, I don’t want to get back to him
He hurts me so bad
And I condemn his life
Trust me, I believe that he is not good enough for me…
I’ve got you yesterday
And I know that you are better
