There is no “but” about what happened at Charlie Hebdo yesterday. Some people published some cartoons, and some other people killed them for it. Words and pictures can be beautiful or vile, pleasing or enraging, inspiring or offensive; but they exist on a different plane from physical violence, whether you want to call that plane spirit or imagination or culture, and to meet them with violence is an offense against the spirit and imagination and culture that distinguish humans. Nothing mitigates this monstrosity. There will be time to analyze why the killers did it, time to parse their backgrounds, their ideologies, their beliefs, time for sociologists and psychologists to add to understanding. There will be explanations, and the explanations will be important, but explanations aren’t the same as excuses. Words don’t kill, they must not be met by killing, and they will not make the killers’ culpability go away.

To abhor what was done to the victims, though, is not…

Lezat!

Learning, love, Map It!

Lezat itu bukan tentang rasa makanan. Lezat lebih berhubungan dengan kekuatan lidah mencecap rasa. Menurutku sayur rebung (dengan santan dan bumbu lodeh) lezat luar biasa walaupun gaya memasaknya mungkin tidak berkenan di hati saya.

Mie…. Segala macam mie tidak langsung saya anggap lezat kecuali ketika aku amat sangat kangen indomie (sebut merk, ha ha ha….) atau seperti sekarang ini: pengen mie tek tek…..

Alhasil, saya ke Indobox lagi di ION Orchard biar bisa makan “mee tek tek”. Ini hidangan berlabel “Chef’s Recommendation” tapi saya kasih grade “Im-palate Recommendation” alias horaaaa huenaaaak….

Again, bukan soal rasa melainkan indera perasa…..

International Airport But….

Learning, Map It!, Those People

I’m such a nagging grandma ha ha…. Please allow me to….

I’m in Juanda International Airport (terminal 2) Surabaya (East Java), a new one…. I’ve been in this site several times and kinda a bit disappointed with the facility.

They don’t have money changer, man….. When I asked “how come no money changer?”, they would say “Oh, it’s new….” as a giant excuse but it won’t work for me. And, today’s experience was definitely not first of mine; I told them to have one earlier this year (which were also asked by many people). And, they still don’t change. They asked me to go to terminal 1.

International? Do they seriously expect tourist and foreign business people to come in? So, what did they analyze of what the tourists need when arriving in an international airport?

They would tell you there’s a bank behind the ATM centre; and there you would be every disappointed with the rate. Today’s rate in the bank headquarters is IDR9,393.66 per SGD1 but the bank give much lower than that. And, what made me so upset the lady manager told me that it is today’s Bank Indonesia’ rate when I asked what rate they were using. Wow! Are you trying to cheat this TKW (tenaga kerja wanita = female foreign worker)? And, when I called my friend in Jakarta to check that bank’s today’s rate, the lady revised her statement – this time she said “We are actually using pur own rate, madam”. Another gent manager came to tell me more firmly about the exchange rate thing but I did not entertain him. I just asked for that manager’s mobile number with my poker face without listening to his lecturing about banking and told the tellers to proceed the transaction.

I just said bluntly, “Please answer my question honestly, madam and sir. I’m your customer and you don’t try to pull my legs. Just for one hundred dollar?”

This is part of what I don’t like about my beloved country, Indonesia Raya. Some people are taking any possible way to earn and it is also done by some people called service providers. Bank is one of service provider, man….

If it happened two years ago, I might have said nothing in front of those people ‘coz I think they have good reasons and they have every single right to tell their shit then deep down in heart I would forgive them without traces. But not now…. You say bad things or do bad things to me, I put a line of tally somewhere in the space to count how good the Universe is at Math.

I’ve changed; yes, I have. Never underestimate what I have and what I’ve done well anymore. You can think of however you like to think about me but I don’t care. I will do whatever I like if I know it’s right. That’s it — I rest my case.

Explain, please? No, Thanks!

People need others to understand what is going on, it is normally in interview or interrogation room. You’ll explain what’s your expertise, or why you are here, or what you expect people to know about what you’re doing. And, you’ll explain when explaining it will get the work done. Aside from that, no explanation is mandatory.

If you think what you are doing now need others’ understanding, it is not totally correct. Sometimes it is only feeling detecting one’s being guilty of having people misunderstood or totally lost about what is happening to us. No worries. The show must go on — as you wish. It’s your life, it’s your choice to do whatever is required to get your life DONE. As long as you don’t disturb others’ life — others are others, any other creatures.

Don’t let yourself like either the ostrich or the zebra in my below picture. Either or them is enjoying their life. The ostrich might think the zebra is annoying — I don’t think so because before this scene the zebra was with the rest of its group enjoying the green fresh grass until the ostrich got crazy breaking the zebra lot. The other zebras just went aside to another corner of the grass, while this one zebra was going around and around entertaining the ostrich…. Are they enjoying? The ostrich was, the zebra was freaking out!!!

So, the best thing is enjoying and starting to stop feeling guilty. People should be busy with themselves instead of bothering others.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

Inspiring Steve Jobs Quotes on Passion, Life and Technology

Let's Reach Success

Source

Steve Jobs changed the world.

Most of us enjoy his legacy every day, but what more we can do is learn from what he had to say, read his thoughts on important stuff and try to think about it, pay attention to what truly matters and see life, death, time and technology through his eyes.

Here are some of the deepest, wittiest and wisest things Steve Jobs has said about the world we live in:

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you…

I thought

I thought of living as human peacefully, without thinking of how other creatures spend their time and place – that’s it.

I thought animals are only subordinates living being….

But now I change my mind. Both human beings and animals are living thing, the fellow earthlings. Plants are also the same. I respect them and love them equally, living peacefully is not the ultimate goal. My goal is to live peacefully IN HARMONY….

Ketika Semua Bersahabat

Ketika saya kecil persahabatan begitu biasa terjalin, seperti bukan sesuatu yang suit dijalankan. Semua orang adalah sahabat, teman seperjalanan. Tak banyak musuh, bahkan kepelikan perasaaan terhadap orang yang perbuatannya dianggap menyakiti hati hanya berlangsung sesaat, kemudian berteman kembali.

Tidak hanya itu, dengan binatang pun persahabatan juga biasa. Anjing, kucing, ayam, menthok, marmut, kelinci, monyet, wedhus, sapi, kebo, jaran, iwak, macan rembah, luwak, gajah, macan belang, kidang, celeng, dan lain-lain semua berkeliaran di habitatnya tanpa manusia tergoda untuk menggangu kedamaian mereka hidup seadanya dari belas-kasih khalifah di bumi, manusia. Hanya kadang saja ketika alam ini telah mengijinkan maka beberapa dari para binatang yang sudah “cukup umur” itu diminta untuk menyumbangkan usia keberkahannya — buat acara selamatan yang tak sering terjadi.

Tapi sekarang….. Alangkah beratnya menjalin pertemanan. Sedikit terpeleset saja membuat status di FB, BB atau posting di blog, bisa-bisa di-block dari posting-posting tertentu atau dari lamannya atau bahkan dari melihatnya sama sekali. Itulah dunia maya, harus penuh dengan kehati-hatian dalam mengekspresikan diri. Jika salah sedikit dan pas dilihat oleh hati yang sedang sensi maka akan runyam. Ya sudah lah.

Dalam dunia nyata juga…. Kalau tidak hati-hati berstrategi dalam berkomunikasi bisa-bisa disalahpahami juga. Hidup ini memang penuh lika-liku pelajaran.

Dan, binatang pun mendapat imbasnya. Manusia yang semakin hari semakin egos ternyata juga menjadi tidak hanya tidak percaya pada sesamanya akan tetapi juga pada binatang yang tak berdaya. Binatang sudah jadi alat bagi manusia untuk memperkaya diri, tidak hanya mensejahterakan diri saja. Mereka memakan anjing, ular, bahkan kucing, ayam tiap hari, babi tiap hari…. Wis pokoknya makan protein hewani itu wajib hukumnya supaya energinya cukup. Dan eksploitasi pada binatang juga banyakt erjadi. Banyak — dan saya nggak punya nyali untuk menceritakannya di sini. Animal abuse is just everywhere!

Byuh….. Pergeseran budaya. Dulu makan daging hanya pada saat-saat tertentu saja, sekarang pagi siang sore bisa makan. Dulu gajah paling pol disuruh main acrobat — which is udah agar eksploitasi sebenernya — tapi sekarang gajah dijerat, disandera biar bisa minta ransom duit ke pemerintah; kalau enggak ya dibiarin tanpa makan mati kelaparan atau bahkan diracun. Manusia keparat!

Duit, duit, duit!

Duit penting, kalau nggak ada suit ya nggak bisa fully settled jaman sekarang apalagi di kota besar. Otak manusia udah diokupasi oleh industrialisasi, semua maunya disulap jadi duit.

Industrialisasi ini telah terbukti membuat manusia telah lupa bahwa bumi ini bukan hanya untuk dihabiskan melainkan lebih dari itu untuk disejahterakan, dipelihara kemudian nantinya akan dipersembahkan kepada “yang nitip” dalam keadaan paling tidak sama indahnya seperti dulu.

Kalau saja bisa kupeluk orang-orang malang itu dan binatang-binatang malang itu — yang telah menjadi alat politic dari para manusia yang perutnya nggak selesai-selesai teriak “more, more more” kecuali udah dibantalin dempu (bola dari tanah), akan kulakukan dengan tanganku tidak hanya dengan jiwaku…. Kusebarkan energy cintaku pada kalian, bola pink penuh cinta mengitari semesta!!!

Duh gustiku…. Sayangilah kami….

BBM, Whatsapp, Line, Viber…. Mention more!

It is such a hassle to get some requests to install those applications from different people from different regions with actually the same purpose. Lazy…. But I’ve gotta choose one or two. Or even three or more?

To communicate.

BBM (Blackberry Messenger), Whatsapp, Line, Viber, Tango, Facebook Messenger…. Remember we had Skype, SMS (Short Message Services), iMessage (free messaging between iPhone users), Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, long list…. What a complete channeling. 🙂

We are becoming more and more aware that communication is vital to keep ourselves “alive”. Yes, it is a means of survival. You can never sustain if you don’t do it properly. You can “not eat” or consume any intake for the whole day but you can never live without interaction. Without some of those apps, people – not all, just those who are (sometimes) away from you and using gadgets – would consider you are gone, not exist, die…. Forgotten, neglected, name it.

💀

Communication is about sharing idea and feeling but communicating your idea in silence is what I am thinking of while sharing this to you, dear friends. Imagine there are both Android and IOS in your living being system – any word you call it: brain, mind, heart, spirit, soul, awareness, whatever. Remember our system is much more sophisticated than any operating systems ever made in the history so if none of smartphones can contain both Android and IOS at the same time, human beings’ awareness can! Have you watched Johnny Depp’s Transcendence? More or less our system is depicted there.

So, either is telling the other about something. Each of them is trying to send messages using Blackberry Messenger. If either hasn’t been installed with BBM yet, nothing is delivered. So….

Do I talk to myself? Yes, every now and then

Do I scream to myself? Often I guess.

Do I whisper to myself? Sure….

Do I listen to myself? I doubt.

Often time I listened to outer voices: family, friends, environment…. I listened to you and them but I ignored songs of my heart. How rigorously I denied whispers, reminders, warnings, soft alarms, sobs… all inner songs sung by myself to myself in myself. Just because it isn’t loud enough? Nope! I guess just because I was oblivious – that people know more about this life than I do, people are smarter, people deserve more, and so on that people are better than me are what had occupied my thought.

Well, either the Android or IOS in my system hadn’t recognized BBM installation. Or even both…. 🙂

Let’s consider BBM as a language agreed to use by interlocutors, to exchange ideas and feelings. “Hey, I am angry…. Please stop catering what they want.” A short message from inside to outside then your body has to quit from entertaining those annoying people.

“Hey…. I am tired, please stop thinking too much.” Then your inner system will shut down, your body sleeps.

Of course human beings know that language – it’s indigenously gifted, heart is talking like forever. Definitely we know how to communicate with our own selves. It’s only about preparing willingness to stop the busyness of either our Android or IOS when they are alone. BBM in our system is where we silent our mind to digest the message between those two apps in here, not out there.

Are you ready? You are the decision maker.

To summarize the need of installing Line, Viber, Tango, Facebook Messenger; please inviters consider my struggle to take care of my own self now…. And, probably you want to do the same thing, too.

…. Can I communicate well with people using any kinds of apps if I don’t even have the keen to communicate with myself? Would you be able to listen to people if you are not patient enough to give your hearing to your own ideas and feelings? How much space will we give to people if we don’t spare a bit for our own?

Screen Shot 2014-11-17 at 11.00.50 pm

So, who will send me another request? What messenger this time?

I think we need to create a new one: I’myown Messenger 😛

Laughter To Envy

Bob, Learning, love, Poetic

Then I just laughed when you suggested a fact that I am watched by you….

But does it really matter?

No, it matters only to you…. And, some folks next to you, who have the same feather but can’t fly. So high, in the imaginary sky, without capable to fly.

Does it really matter?

No, it never matters to me…. Only sketched some seconds in a note, that is as brittle as a butterfly’s wings. For a while, in beauty, no sustainability.

Does it really matter?

Not really. Really not, finally. Your voice, your choir, your noise doesn’t matter to this path.

Enjoy the cloud where you think you sit, but actually you skid.

Thanks, friends…. For sharing me the face of envy.

Good Weekend (bilingual)

Living being is just the same, everywhere you are some negatives are coming in any form they’d like to be. What’s your response? Up to your good deed.

Just last week my friend was withdrawn from her function in a big company as immigration specialist. She’d been a contractor administering all ins and outs of expatriates matter in that office. A good job and contracted to a good big company, good money and bunch of good friends and colleagues – unfortunately, she could not expect a good boss. Her boss never thought her job was well done even if it was because she didn’t get sufficient support from her immediate supervisor. What could she do? All her work could just proceed only with official stamp from another level up high which she could not obtain.

Not gonna talk about her in detail…. Just wanna highlight: No matter what you’ve been facing this all week: bad clients, bad customers, bad bosses, bad co-workers, bad friends, bad food, bad health, anything bad: Just ignore them ALL and have a good weekend!!!

Namaste….

====================

Orang hidup dimana-mana sama, yang negatif-negatif bisa datang dalam bentuk apapun asal mereka suka. Respons kamu gimana? Tergantung niat baik.

Minggu lalu teman saya ditarik dari fungsi dia sebagai spesialis keimigrasian di sebuah perusahaan besar. Dia ini pekerja outsource yang ditempatkan di perusahaan itu oleh perusahaan outsource tempatnya bekerja untuk mengurus tetek-bengek keimigrasian para ekspatriat. Kerjaan bagus dan di-outsource di perusahaan besar yang bagus, uang yang bagus, teman-teman dan kolega kerja yang bagus – sayangnya dia nggak bisa ngarepin boss yang bagus. Boss dia nggak pernah puas dengan kerjaan dia yang dianggap kurang beres dalam beberapa hal; padahal yang terjadi adalah supervisor dia nggak memberikan dukungan yang cukup supaya dia bisa menyelesaikan pekerjaannya. Bayangkan deh kalian mau menyelesaikan tugas tapi tanpa stempel atasan kalian nggak bisa menuntaskannya. Masihkah itu salah kalian?

Nggak mau ngomongin dia secara detil kok…. Cuma mau stabilo-in: Apapun yang kalian hadapi minggu lalu: klien yang nggak ngenakin, pengguna jasa yang nggak ngenakin, boss yang nggak ngenakin, temen kerja yang nggak ngenakin, temen gaul yang nggak ngenakin, makanan yang nggak enak, kesehatan yang buruk, pokoknya semua-mua yang nggak bagus: Abaikan SEMUA itu dan nikmati akhir pekan sebaik-baiknya!!!
