Review: Year Two-O-Eleven

0 opinions

It's December 30th, only two days left before year 2012. This year has been so great for me, many things happened, I couldn't just forget them since every little thing happened this year has made me become someone (I wish) better than before.

So, let's review this year, start from January 2011.

Not many special things happened in January, except that my class became the Ceremony Flag officers on the last day of January 2011. I was the protocol and was really glad that my voice wasn't heard like a baby--as my friends said.

February 2011, my Saman dance club had to perform for a school event where no one but school officials coming. I hated that time because it was a big struggle for me to practice for the performance (I almost had to skip this because my left foot got injured two weeks before the day.) but no one seemed that excited to watch us. It hurt so bad, honestly. But whatever, because a week later, I was so proud of my juniors that they showed a very good performance of Saman dance for another school event. That was their very first performance, btw.

Go on March 2011, Earth Hour 2011 was held on March 26th when I spent my dark night talking on the phone with my friends Lois. This blog was also closed for a day as I changed the layout onto a special one, thanks Kak Uchie for making the layout!

April 2011! I was finally 17 years old this month! Ahaha. Too many things happened here. Started from how I tried my best to keep on working for an event held by Rohis Metana. How I crashed a surprise plan for my birthday (I'm so sorry, but you guys don't have to be that mad at me, tho.), and how I finally had a gut to ask for permission to go to ARTTM's concert and, voila, I got it!

Also I won't forget my observation trip to the embassy of The Kingdom of Belgium. That was the best one-day observation trip ever because, well, it's worth it to get the best thing after doing so much struggle. So much stress we got while preparing for this but finally, the score we got was excellent.

I could say that May 2011 was the most memorable month of 2011. My bestie, Amelia, gave a late birthday present for me and it's a The Downtown Fiction meet and greet! She got it from Rexona, the main sponsor for the concert and because she gave her ticket for me, I also got a chance to stay in a hotel for three days and meet some new friends who were also the winner of Rexona's contest.

The meet and greet was UBER GREAT! TDF in persons are really nice and funny. I was so glad that they accepted my presents (and even their bassist used a necklace from me for several months). I actually also gave some presents to A Rocket To The Moon. If you watched their video update about Indonesia, there you'd find my batik fedora, the one that Andrew wore on the bus. Well, the concert itself was a big WOW for me. The bands that were playing were so great, I love them all, and the crowd were really crazy. I could just be dead now if I didn't get out from the crowd, the girls were too crazy if it happened to cool and gorgeous band dudes.

June 2011. Final exams, then Tafakur Alam, then holiday! I went to Bandung for a vacation with my close friends. We visited ITB and some more places. Those four days were a great memory for us that made us getting closer until now.

July 2011 started with a new relationship with someone I met at TDF concert last May. A week later, my senior year begun. I almost got Mayday Parade as my last concert (Jakcloth, July 2011) but too bad my dad came to pick me right when the band almost played. Sad Vany was sad.

August 2011, my first time not joining flag ceremony on August 17th. Haha. August was also Ramadhan month, all Moslems had to fasting. Thanked Allah, my Ramadhan was full of blessings :)

September 2011 was really not my month! Panic! At The Disco came here for the second time but again, I couldn't go to their concert because I already made a commitment with my Dad about no concerts until graduation. My life sucks, I know.

October 2011 was sad. The "demissioner" of OSIS Dhira Tasthiva Balavat Kama happened in this month. Marco Simoncelli was dead after a serious accident during Malaysian Grand Prix. Too much tears fell this month.

November 2011. I broke up. Okay that's not a good thing to share. Eid Al-Adha was held this month and I got my tummy fulled by so many foods--even though there's no difference on my weight. Okay.

December 2011. Well, so many events were held this month. BKUI, then final exams. I need to tell ya that even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I still got the best Christmas present ever this year! My Pioneer album arrived right on Christmas and I got a signed letter from The Maine which is lovely.

That's all. Phew. This post need revision, I know. I'll do it next year, okay?

Happy new year everyone! See you again later!

Transjakarta Busway

0 opinions

So I went to Senayan City to meet half of my #PartyKids and to buy some books I need to read during this holiday. Then, I went home by using Transjakarta bus. It's been a really long time since the last time I used this transportation system and when I used it today, I realized there are so many improves they made on this system. Nah, since this post is so Indonesian, I'm going to write it in Bahasa Indonesia ~~(actually it's because I would use some words I dunno in English, lol, enjoy!)~~

***

Perubahan pertama yang gue liat di sistem bus Transjakarta ini adalah adanya pembagian area antara wanita dan pria. Jadi yang pria harus duduk/berdiri di bagian belakang bis sementara yang wanita (dan anak-anak) duduk/berdiri di bagian depan bis. Nanti di bis nya ada stikernya gini nih:

Tapi sepertinya peraturan ini hanya berlaku di koridor yang mengarah ke Jakarta Pusat dan sekitarnya. Well, tadi sih gue cuma lewat koridor yang dari Senayan-Dutas trus Dutas-Matraman abis itu Matraman-Kp. Melayu. Nah, Senayan sampai Matraman masih berlaku tuh pemisahan antrian. Giliran naik ke arah Kampung Melayu.. Bah! udah ramenya keterlaluan, desek-desekannya lebih parah daripada pas di Dukuh Atas, gaada pemisahan juga. Semua orang, berbeda gender dan usia, kumpul di satu area tanpa ada pemisahan bahkan toleransi untuk yang baru naik.

Lebih parahnya halte Matraman--tepatnya yang di depannya 711 Matraman--ini, orang-orangnya ngga tau harus antri dimana. Well, it might happen in every shelter. Kalo diperhatiin, di setiap halte busway itu ada beberapa pintu yang ditempel stiker ini:

Tadi gue antri di belakang pintu yang ada stiker itu, tapi di belakang gue ada cowok yang asik ngantri sambil sms-an. Kalo di Dukuh Atas sih gue wajar ya, tiga koridor lewat di halte sesempit itu, pasti susah ngatur pembagian laki-laki perempuannya karena jumlahnya pasti gak akan seimbang. Tapi kalo Matraman? Pengen banget gue sindir 'Mas, bisa baca aturannya ngga?'

Perubahan yang kedua, kalo tadi gue perhatiin, sekarang petugas (bisa kita sebut kenek, mungkin?) busnya banyak yang perempuan, ada yang berjilbab juga. Well, bagus lah ya, penyetaraan gender, we could say. Selain 'penyetaraan gender' ini, sekarang petugas Transjakarta juga lebih galak. I swear! Gue ngerasa kayak lagi di MOS jaman baru masuk SMA dulu. Petugasnya itu teriak-teriak ngasih tau harus antri yang rapi lah, ini lah, itu lah, tapi nada teriaknya bener-bener nyuruh ala kakak OSIS lagi nge-MOS.

Tadi di Dukuh Atas ada om petugas yang bilang gini:

'Kalo mau ke Matraman, naik lagi ke atas! Antri dong yang bener! Orang tua aja bisa disuruh antri!'

Wow, dude, wow. Gue sih ga tersinggung ya, soalnya tadi gue emang iseng ke bawah daripada berdiri doang. Cuma kan, ya jangan mentang-mentang Anda udah tua trus jadi seenaknya ngomong gitu ke yang lebih muda dong, Om. Kalo gue jadi orang tua nya sih gue bakal bilang kalo gue antri karena inisiatif gue, bukan karena disuruh orang, apalagi orangnya sambil teriak-teriak ngga santai. Malu dong kalo ngantri aja masih disuruh^^

Terus tadi di Matraman juga mbak-mbak kenek bus nya teriak gini:

`geser ya geser ke dalam! Yang baru masuk langsung geser jangan ngegerombol di depan pintu! Kasih jalan buat yang lain, jangan egois!`

Another wow. Like, WOW. Kalo mau tau, teriakan sama muka mbaknya persis banget sama OSIS angkatan atas sekolah gue. Gue langsung punya pikiran kalo orang yang di-hire untuk kerja di halte bus Transjakarta haruslah orang yang pas jaman sekolah atau kuliah pernah nge-MOS atau nge-OSPEK adek kelasnya. Lebih parahnya, ngediklat capsis (calon pengurus osis) juga. Wow.

Maksud gue.. yaampun om, tante, teriak sih teriak, ngasih tau sih ngasih tau, tapi yang sopan dong. Kita (at least, gue) juga bakal ikutin kata-katanya kalo ngomongnya baik-baik kok. Teriak kan ga berarti jadi kasar gitu. Om tantenya tau kata tolong kan? Tau bedanya ngasih info sama marah-marah kan?

Terakhir nih, tadi pas turun di Halte Kampung Melayu, gelap banget haltenya. Gue kira lagi mati lampu gitu padahal area di sekelilingnya terang benderang. Mungkin karena haltenya sekarang jadi gede ya, lampu yang nyala cuma yang di halte baru.

Iya, halte Kampung Melayu diperbesar karena koridor yang baru, yang lewat kantor walikota Jakarta Timur itu, berhentinya di Kampung Melayu. Kapan-kapan ada yang mau nyobain naik busway koridor baru? Sama gue yuk yuk yuk!

Well, okay, akhir dari post ini adalah, saya cuma pengen ngasih tau kalo saya seneng banget sama sistem bus Transjakarta ini, saya pengen bisa naik bus Transjakarta kemana-mana, saya pengen sistemnya tuh jadi teratur, rapi, enak di kita dan di yang punya perusahaan juga. Nah, untuk itu, kita ngga bisa cuma protes dan nyuruh orang Transjakartanya melakukan perbaikan dan perubahan doang kan. Kita juga harus taati peraturan yang mereka berikan, supaya semuanya tertib, bagus, enak dilihat, bisa dibanggain, dan tujuan untuk me-anti-macet-kan Jakarta itu bisa tercapai. Kalau ngga mulai dari kita sendiri, kitanya cuma protes doang, ngga bakal ada perubahan. Jadi nih semuanya, stiker di halte sama di bus dibaca baik-baik trus diikutin ya. Trus antri sendiri jangan nunggu om tante petugasnya teriak-teriak. Masuk busnya pelan-pelan, jangan dorong-dorongan, langsung cari tempat yang kosong dan sesuai pemisahannya. Kalau kita bisa begitu, Transjakarta ngga bakal kalah elite sama sistem transportasi di luar negeri loh! :)

Sekian, terima kasih.

D Untuk Delisa

0 opinions

Hi!

I just finished reading a novel last night. A very-berry good novel I'm sure I should recommend it to all of you (especially those Moslems out there). So now, I'm going to make a review in Bahasa Indonesia (since this book is in Bahasa Indonesia and--uhm--I am not sure I can write a good review in English eheh). Hope you enjoy this post! :)

***

Judul Buku: Hafalan Shalat Delisa

Pengarang: Tere Liye

Jumlah Halaman: vi+270 Halaman

Penerbit: Republika Penerbit

Tahun Terbit: Mei 2011 (Cetakan ke-XIV)

Diceritakan seorang gadis kecil berumur enam tahun yang aktif, polos, berhati tulus dan penuh keingintahuan. Namanya Delisa, bungsu dari pasangan Ummi Salamah dan Abi Usman. Anak itu sedang berusaha menghafalkan bacaan-bacaan shalat--selalu diulanginya setiap saat walaupun sulit, lupa lagi, lupa lagi. Namun ketiga kakaknya, Cut Fatimah, Cut Zahra dan Cut Aisyah ikut membantu dan menyemangati sang adik.

Delisa dan keluarganya tinggal di Lhok Nga, Aceh. Ayahnya bekerja di kapal tanker, pulang setiap tiga bulan. Ibunya bekerja di rumah, menjahit atau menyulam pesanan tetangga. Setiap hari, para perempuan itu bangun pagi dan shalat subuh berjamaah. Aisyah membaca bacaan shalat dikeraskan agar Delisa dapat mengikuti. Lalu, mereka tadarus.

Delisa diimingi berbagai hadiah demi kesuksesannya menghafal bacaan shalat. Ia sudah dibelikan kalung oleh ibunya, dengan bandul D--D untuk Delisa. Ayahnya menjanjikan ia sepeda baru saat mereka bicara di telepon. Ustadnya, Ustad Rahman, memang sering memberi hadiah setiap Delisa melakukan sesuatu. Semua hadiah itu akan Delisa dapatkan bila ia lulus hafalan bacaan shalat dengan Ibu Guru Nur.

Tanggal 26 Desember 2004 memang bertepatan dengan kejadian Tsunami yang menghancurkan bagian utara Sumatera. Tapi hari itu juga adalah hari Delisa akan membuktikan bahwa ia sudah hafal semua bacaan shalat. Hari Minggu itu, Delisa pergi dengan Ummi ke sekolah seraya Aisyah dan Zahra menempelkan karton-karton biru penuh tulisan untuk Delisa--mungkin untuk penyemangat. Sementara, di benak Delisa terkadang muncul hadiah-hadiah yang ia akan dapatkan nantinya. Ia nervous, namun ia berusaha untuk tidak lupa dan mempresentasikan hasil hafalannya dengan baik.

Baru saja membaca doa iftitah, tiba-tiba bumi berguncang. Gempa besar terjadi. Namun Delisa tetap melanjutkan bacaannya. Ia ingin khusuk, ingin satu pikiran saat shalat, tidak memedulikan hal yang lain di luar shalat, seperti kata Ustad. Ummi sudah berteriak saat gempa, namun Delisa menghiraukannya. Ibu Guru Nur pun tak berpindah tempat melihat Delisa yang tetap diam melanjutkan bacaannya.

Saat sampai membaca Surah Al-Fatihah, tsunami itu datang. Kencang sekali. Menghantam semua yang ada di depannya. Namun Delisa tidak bergeming. Bahkan saat ia hampir tenggelam, yang ada di pikirannya hanyalah bacaan shalat yang belum selesai. Namun Delisa keburu pingsan karena menelan banyak air. Kaki dan tangannya patah dan luka terhantam balok dan apapun itu. Sebelum Ibu Guru Nur pergi, beliau mengikatkan kerudungnya pada Delisa dan sebatang papan dengan harapan Delisa selamat dan tetap dapat melanjutkan bacaan shalatnya.

Delisa terhempas ke semak-semak sejauh enam kilometer dari sekolahnya. Delisa pingsan selama enam hari. Tangannya patah, kakinya luka parah tak bisa diselamatkan. Kerudung dan pakaiannya robek tak berbentuk. Badannya penuh luka dan lebam. Di dekat Delisa, ada mayat Tiur, teman main sepedanya, yang tergeletak begitu saja dengan mata terbuka. Delisa sempat bolak-balik pingsan-siuman beberapa kali. Entah darimana, ada lima apel berjejer di dekatnya, bisa dimakan. Ia minum air hujan yang turun tiap malam. Namun tetap saja, tubuh Delisa yang kecil tidak kuat dengan kondisi panas terik dan hujan yang datang bergantian. Delisa tidak tahu apa-apa lagi hingga akhirnya ia diselamatkan oleh seorang tentara asing. Hingga ia bertemu dengan teman-teman baru. Hingga ia dapat bertemu lagi dengan Abinya, melanjutkan hidup berdua. Hingga ia terus berusaha menikmati hidup dengan ceria walaupun sekarang tubuhnya cacat dan tidak punya siapa-siapa kecuali Abi dan teman-teman barunya. Lalu bagaimana hafalan shalatnya?

(Mohon maklum untuk selanjutnya, bahasanya bakal jadi acak-adut. Mohon pengertiannya, terima kasih.)

Novel karya Tere Liye ~~(yang ternyata laki-laki, oke, gue kira dia cewek, oke, maap om)~~ ini benar-benar menguras air mata. Gue baru baca pas istirahat di SQ sekitar 65 halaman. Lalu ngelanjutin di rumah dari jam setengah 10, hingga buku itu tamat pada pukul 11.30 malam, jujur aja gue gabisa berenti nangis sepanjang membaca 200 halaman, menghabiskan sisa persediaan tissue di kamar. Buku ini adalah sebuah renungan bagi siapa pun yang membacanya. Di kemas dengan bahasa sehari-hari yang ringan sehingga mudah dimengerti oleh siapa saja, bahwa hidup Delisa tidak mudah. Ia menghadapi berbagai tantangan yang sulit. Namun tetap saja ia menjalani hidup seperti tidak ada beban. Bila ada kesalahan, ia cepat memperbaiki dan belajar untuk tidak mengulanginya lagi.

Sebetulnya, yang lebih bikin nangis itu catatan kaki yang di buat pengarang tentang sikap atau kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh Delisa. Misalnya nih, pas Delisa bangun dari pingsan lalu melihat mayat temannya tergeletak begitu saja di depannya. Kalau kita bacanya sungguh-sungguh pasti langsung serem kan kalo dibayangin? Udah serem, trus ada catatan kakinya: "Delisa baru 6 tahun tapi sudah harus melihat yang seperti itu, bagaimana dengan orang-orang berdosa di luar sana yang masih bisa berhura-hura saat banyak saudaranya tertimpa bencana memilukan" (yah kurang lebih seperti itu). Allahuakbar, Vany berasa lagi muhasabah kayak pas tafakur alam! Langsung deh banjir air mata lagi di situ. Oke, mari sudahi cerita air matanya.

Udah kan tuh yang bagus-bagusnya. Bisa untuk renungan, ceritanya mudah di cerna, bahasanya gampang dimengerti, dan oh, Delisa ini benar-benar tipikal anak baru masuk SD. Pas banget untuk anak-anak yang biar rajin shalat, kasih aja buku ini, biar jadi pelajaran juga mengenai keimanan, ketaatan, kasih sayang, kedisiplinan, ketulusan dan sikap toleransi beragama.^^

Tapi jujur, personally, gue ngga terlalu suka cerita yang banyak kalimat di dalam kurungnya. Nah, di novel ini banyak kalimat yang ada di dalam kurung. Kenapa ngga dijelasin aja di kalimat selanjutnya? Biar lebih rapi gitu loh. Hal ini jadi satu minus buat gue. Namun, minusnya ini tertutup banget sama kebagusan novel yang udah disebutin di atas.

Sekilas tentang Tere Liye ~~(yang aslinya ternyata cowok)~~, beliau ini adalah penulis novel-novel yang bersifat religius. Gue baru baca ini doang sih, ada satu lagi buku beliau di perpustakaan ~~(ketauan bacanya modal minjem perpus)~~ tapi lagi dipinjam orang. Tadi buka multiply-nya juga, banyak foto-foto yang bagus. Mungkin om Tere Liye ini juga seorang fotografer ya. Yang pasti, novelnya yang ini amat sangat wajar kalau sampai dicetak berkali-kali dan best seller.

Tertarik? Coba cari di perpustakaan sekolah kamu, atau beli sendiri biar bisa disimpen untuk saat-saat yang dibutuhkan ;)

Ps. Delisa bisa bilang ke Ummi dan Abinya kalo dia cinta mereka karena Allah. Walaupun cuma demi coklat, tapi ucapannya tulus sampai orang tuanya nangis. Ada yang bisa begitu juga? Gue.. jujur aja.. ngga.. *malu* :"""
P.P.s. Thank you so much my dear Najla for telling me about this book! Love ya!

A Little Update Before School Starts Tomorrow

0 opinions

Ohai!
First of all, since it's only a week after Eid Mubarak, I'd like to say `Happy Eid Mubarak` to all of you who celebrated it. Please forgive all mistakes I've done here, on my old blogs or anywhere else. And I'd like to wish us to be a better person after this :)

Now, we're going to the main topic.
Well, urgh, school starts tomorrow. So that means I'll be going back to the routines where I wake up at 4.30 am and go to bed at 11.00 pm everyday. I'll be filling my days with tasks and homework and books and exercises. Courses everyday, quizzes every week.. I wish this senior year will end so fast.
So by that, I'm really going to do my promise to keep my laptop away from me on weekdays so I won't be online unless I have tasks to be done on the net. That means, it will be harder for me to keep updating this blog--I'm trying my best tho. I just hope all my readers won't leave me alone here, if I really have some readers mwhoho.

Well, for all students like me, welcome back to school, guys! Hope you enjoy your time with friends, teachers and those homework.

Good night!

Merdeka!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, MY BELOVED INDONESIA!!!!!!!!

Hell, Even though many things are so messed up here, I just can't leave a single thought about this country. This is where I was born, meet a great friends and family. This country is where I feel accepted with most lovable people I ever known.
I just hope everything here will get better. Better government, better civilians, better education system, and else. I hope there'll be no more corruptors live peacefully (they never will, though) and so on. Amen for all your wishes to Indonesia!

That captured picture above is from Wes Dimond, guitarist of The Downtown Fiction. So many good musicians were tweeting about Indonesia's Independence day (and that's so lovely, thank you so much!) but his is my favorite. I don't know why. Maybe because I love him too much :3

Anyway,
This blog's layout is finally done. You now can follow this blog (if you haven't yet) by clicking the link under "friends" section. And also, comments and opinions are accepted by clicking the link under blog date. I'm so proud of this lovely layout <3

Now I gotta go study for math quiz. Wish me luck!

Ps. Three years after Panic! At The Disco live concert in Jakarta. They'll be here again next month and again, I won't be there. `That's okay, I feel the same, I'm on my way~`

Ohaaaii people!!!
I'm just done making new layout for this blog. At first I was planning to make a layout purely by my own but I found it really hard 'til I almost gave up, so I tried to find a layout on blogskins that has same purpose as I wanted my layout to be.

I'm so in love with this layout especially about the background color and the picture of header and footer. Do you like that one too? Or do you even have any plans to visit one of those famous trademarks? Let me know so maybe we can plan a trip together someday ;)

Anyhoo,
How do ya think this blog look like? I know some stuffs are still messed up. I haven't put a link for new comers to follow this blog, and even I haven't put link to input comments. Damn my lame memory, I forgot the HTML code for those things and I'm too tired to find and figure those out tonight :(
So If you have anything to say about this new layout, please give some shoutouts on the chatbox, thank you :)

A little update about my real life lately, I'm currently on daily quizzes week where there's at least one quiz per day and that really sucks. Fortunately tomorrow is a holiday (tomorrow is August 17th, Indonesia Independence Day, Wooo!!) so I at least have some hours to relax before going back to study maths for linear-thingy quiz on Thursday.

I gotta go now, I'm starting to feel ache on my back. Nighty, lovers!

Ohai, I'm super bored tonight and I don't have any wants to study chemistry. So I remembered that there's a Cobra Starship photo booth, I opened it and get some pictures for new profile pictures on my networks. Kinda late to upload this thing because I did once weeks ago just for fun with no good result. Well, if you wanna see the other pics, go see my tumblr's userpic, my facebook profile picture, my blogger profile picture and my formspring avatar. Oh, also you may find one as my avatar on WLM and Y!M.

Btw, Panic! At The Disco is coming to Jakarta for Big Wave 2011 this September. Yes, I felt so bummed to know this last night. Yes, I feel so fucked up for making a commitment to not watch any concert 'til graduation. Yes, I got more hates about senior year.

Well okay, goodnight!

Choices To Choose, Never Been As Hard As This.

2 opinions

Thispost will be written in Bahasa Indonesia. This caused by my lack English right now. Well anyway..

I'm on dilemma.

Gue. Lagi. Dilema.

Jadi gini ceritanya.

Gue ngerti yang namanya hidup itu harus pake pilihan. Pilihan itu kadang-kadang cuma 'Ya' atau 'Tidak'. Nah, buat gue, pilihan itu ada banyak. Bisa aja awalnya cuma 'mau' atau 'nggak'. Tapi lama-lama dari satu pilihan 'ya' atau 'tidak' itu bisa berkembang lagi ke pilihan-pilihan lainnya. Itulah otak gue yang sok bisa mikir banyak-banyak. Tiba-tiba langsung aja dateng banyak pilihan ke gue. Ujung-ujungnya gue jadi pusing sendiri.

Sekarang ke permasalahannya.

Pernah waktu itu bokap gue lagi berbaik hati ngebolehin gue backpacking ke Eropa pas lulus SMA. Beh, seneng dong? Gue bisa liburan dulu, bisa cari pengalaman dulu baru masuk kuliah belajar lagi. Lagipula, hal yang lo pelajarin waktu travelling bakal lebih banyak, lebih mudah dimengerti dan lebih berarti daripada lo duduk belajar di kelas. Otomatis gue iya-in lah.

Tapi terus bokap bilang `kalo gitu cari uang dari sekarang, cari link buat 'numpang', kalo mau cari temen berangkat bareng atau berangkat aja sendiri.` Duh?

Gue rasa ini nggak mungkin.

Sekolah gue adalah model sekolah yang seneng 'nyimpen' anak muridnya lama-lama di sekolah. Belom termasuk tugas seabrek, ulangan, dan kewajiban bimbel untuk anak dengan otak pas-pasan macem gue. Waktu gue selama seminggu habis untuk sekolah. Begitupun duit jajan gue yang--ahem, ngga tralu banyak. Dan di Indonesia--tepatnya di daerah rumah gue, dimana ada part-time job untuk anak SMA?

Kalo nyari link sih ya gampang, udah banyak kok forum-forum backpacker. Tinggal betulin cara komunikasi, ngomong baik-baik, insya Allah bisa diterima. Tapi duitnya ituloooh. Masa iya gue yang pergi sendiri bokap gue yang ngebayarin segala macem? Ga lucu kan?

Selain itu, gue punya firasat kalo masuk kuliah pas jaman gue dan seterusnya bakal lebih sulit dari sekarang. Kalo misalnya gue jalan-jalan dulu, dan tetep pengen masuk PTN, agaknya itu sulit. Kecuali ya gue pengen kuliah di luar dimana itu juga ngga gampang. Yah, pokoknya ada more and less nya deh.

Nah, gimana gue ga dilema?

Ujungnya sih, setelah mikir-mikir, gue udah bikin 3 pilihan pasti yang harus cepet gue putusin. Walaupun yah, sampe sekarang gue masih bingung. Dua pilihan itu adalah:

1. Backpacking abis lulus dengan pinjam duit papa tersayang. Stay disana cari kuliah atau pulang ke Indonesia belajar lagi super keras buat masuk PTN. (Begini ceritanya, gue harus bawa buku juga sambil backpacking. Gimana nyari kuliah kalo udah lupa pelajaran sekolah?)

atau

2. Kuliah dulu di Indonesia, sambil kuliah sambil kerja sambilan. Waktu libur semester pergi backpacking tapi ngga langsung satu benua. (Berarti gue harus pinter bagi waktu antara kuliah, belajar dan kerja. Dan gue bakal jarang pulang ke rumah pas lagi libur. Berarti gue bakal jarang ketemu kamar--tepatnya kasur--asli gue.)

atau

3. Gue kuliah di luar, pas libur ngga balik ke Indonesia tapi jalan-jalan ke negara sekitarnya (eh wait, emang gue mau kuliah dimana?)

Udah ada 3 pilihan, tapi masih banyak dilemanya. Menurut lo, enakan gimana ya? :|

Oh anyway, ada lomba blog dari Canada Education Services International. Ikutan ga ya? Ada yang ikut kah?

~~Ps. Satu dilema lagi. Gue maksa nonton TDF atau ngga ya?~~

Update, update.

Yo!
The ICT task is thanked-God-finally done and now this blog is totally mine. No one can ever "force" me to make a blog layout and posts that I don't like. Free Vany is free, ha.
Anyway, since this blog was planned to be published next year, I won't do anything online on this blog. I'm working on the new layout, though. I finally got the html codes which I thought matches with the header I'm going to use. Right now, just let's hope I won't be such a procrastinator so I can finish everything before December 31st.
I'm going to Bali and Jogjakarta for studytour stuffs for a week so I will be off from 17th-23rd. Then Christmas and new year, this seems gonna be so fast. But, as usual, no one wants holidays to end, right?
I'm watching a recorded secret show of The Maine and Disco Curtis but the main band is not showing up yet. I hate waiting, duh.

Spoiler Tutorial

4 opinions

Disclaimer: This post wouldn't be posted by me if there were no Cemara Chrisalit and Benazio Rizki who told me about this. Fist of all, thank you guys, I owe you some kudos :)

So, have you read my post here? Most of them are had spoilers inside. Spoiler is a kind of way to make your post shorter because it hides some of things you share on one post.

This is an example of a spoiler:

Now,to put a spoiler on your post, it's just as easy as to draw a circle. The only thing you have to do is just open the 'edit HTML' tab on your 'new post' page, and type the HTML codes there. Here I give you the code:

<div style="border: 0px inset gray; padding: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<button class="button" onclick="this.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[1].style.display = ''; this.parentNode.style.display = 'none';" title="Click to show the spoiler." type="button"><span style="color: black;">SPOILER-TITLE</span></button></div>
<div id="spoiler" style="display: none;">
SPOILER-CONTENT</div>

Change the word i high-lighted with your own title and content. You can also change the border, the button's color, and the text-align. But this is the common HTML codes I use for this blog.

Hope this can help you to improve your posts. Again, this post is credited to Cemara Chrisalit and Benazio Rizki. Thank you guys!

-Ciao!
