Satu

This is my first post without using English as the main language here.. Just read it!!

Sering orang katakan satu..
Adakah satu itu?
Adakalanya 'banyak' disatukan,
Tanpa satu itu nyata
Nyatakah satu itu?
Perlukah kehadiran satu?
Apakah satu itu?

Satu bukanlah satu jika ia tidak utuh
Satu tidak nyata jika ia tidak terlihat
Satu adalah satu hanya jika ia tampil

Satu adalah rasa
Satu adalah wajah
Satu pasti maju
Satu harus terikat
Satu juga bebas
Satu berani tanpa batas
Satu tak kenal takut
Satu tak butuh lelah
Satu tidak istirahat
Satu berpadu dalam harmoni
Satu adalah kedinamisan
Satu tidaklah statis
Satu adalah satu

Jadi apakah satu itu?
Satu adalah kepastian
Satu adalah kekuatan
Satu adalah hatimu

Mari maju untuk satu
Mari berjuang untuk satu
Tak ada satu tanpa usaha
Tak ada satu tanpa tekad

Satu adalah satu....

Morning Wake Up

Man, why do there have to be evening-night-dawn??? It would be better if there weren't any night or the sleep at night. It's just such a wasting of time. A day consisting of 24 hours would've been more effectively gone through if it had been filled with a 24-hour activity nonstop. Because there's night now, most humans, the busy ones, have to spend about 2-4 hours only for sleep time. For those still studying in high school or university, you must know that in that range of time there can be done so many activities, especially studying and playing, that life can be full. But, I think it would be boring enough too if we only live in the days without dark or night at all.hehehe... (just thinking)

Astrology??

D'ya ever thing about life pattern, manly characteristic, etc. which is controlled by the position of stars?? I once thought about it for quite a while. It's said everyone born in the same period of time and, more specifically in the same month, has similar characteristics. When I think about it, putting those who were born in the same month as me, we have such a similar characteristic, stick to the rule, honoring justice so much, all has to be done with effort that nothing will be gained without work. That's why we are all "keras", a bit headstrong. However, there's something I found interesting concerning this thing in the bible. It's said in the bible that the devil tried to change season and time (which means what I've talked before) and God is the God controlling ones. So, we're all who have been saved by the grace no longer controlled by that kind of seasons controlling. Your characteristics have to be changed to be more and more like him. So, that kind of grace allows you and I to live not according to such astrology and anything similar to it. We ourselves decide what to do and how to live. Actually, it's scientific to tell people about their future or current life according to the stars constellation. It's proven.

Life

What to do with the life itself?
There's such a divine nature which draws one to the destiny.
Trying to leave and get rid of it is just useless.
Want to live and have joy in it??
Join me in this adventure!
None to do with the direction, it's just it.
Just do what have to be done,
endure suffering for just a while of this period of life.
Actually, all my path is suffering.
No gain without losses.
It looks weird in my community to have such a life.
But, this is it.
I've made my decision and no turning back for me
coz my life is not my own anymore,
everyday I pace this path,
the more I die and become full.
This is the way I live,
to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
The essential thing is living with the divine nature,
gaining the divine power more and more.
Wanna try??

Music

After I observed for quite a period of time among all my surroundings (people around me) about music and the impact to their lives, I found something interesting. Most people who like listening to pop music often (generally) focus only on their life, all things connected to their life too. Their commonly use their feeling rather than have their logical thinking work.
Those who like listening to classical music mostly don't like changes in many things related to their vital parts in life. They are usually stubborn. Those who like listening to rock music have nearly similar characteristic with those who like listening to pop music, but rather be more offensive and so fragile to getting offended. That's why they commonly show them self offensive. Actually, this are not so different with those who like listening to metal music. The one different is that those liking metal music rather show them self as being introvert even though they like making friends. This is obviously seen in how they confine in somebody else. Most of them don't have anybody likely to be confined. Actually, these are only hypothesis and are of general observation.
Funnily, those who like jazz music have different characteristics from all of them mentioned above. Those who like art the most in their life mostly like jazz music better than any other music. Usually, for those liking jazz music, jazz itself is an addictive thing that it could defeat all other things that restrain it to come out. In my opinion, jazz is the most difficult music genre I've ever studied because it contains many things to be studied and memorized. The theories are so many while those are difficult to be applicated. The one thing having the biggest role here is the feeling of the man. Jazz music makes people sing in their mind unstoppedably.
That's why I like jazz music the most...

The Jazz Way

Jazz, as many other say, is one of the most complicated music genre. I've been studying this music for about nearly four years. I don't like the first two years of studying this jazz music. All I have to do was just memorizing the chords which are so many, so complicated. After that long term, I stepped to the next level, studying the scales. I thought it would be easier, but what I found was the more difficult exercise. I don't like it at all! It was tiring to memorize so many kinds of scale and the fingering too.
However, I finally stepped to the improvisation level. It was more difficult than before, but I like it though I was too lazy to do the exercise at home everyday. Now, I'm no more studying only the kinds of improvisation techniques. Now, I'm studying kinds of song in jazz world. It is more interesting than those former lessons.
What I like from jazz music is that it's easy for anybody not having met before to play in one musical band with one-minded way. Though it is quite complicated to decide whether he or another plays the improvisation first, it is fully enjoyable to play the music. Everybody has their own role in the play. This is what many people usually say about the jazz way, showing the one accord.
Eventhough there're so many music beside jazz, in my opinion, jazz is the most complicating one. You may see other music's musician/music player play their instrument more skillful or more complicated than jazz, but playing jazz is not just playing one kind of music because there are so many sub-kinds of music in jazz world and there are more differences between the music than those in other music genres. The kinds of chord are so many in jazz music, more than those used in other music genres.
Want to experience the more complicated music?? Join the jazz world!!

Life Mate

It might seem to be important for nearly everybody in this world to have a life mate to walk this life. I just want to share my thought. In my life, there hasn't been even once a moment I like a girl or a woman or even think about having a mate to be by my side anytime I need. It was just like NAPZA for me because I think life could be succeed if I focus myself to that goal, not being disturbed by anything, especially a humanbeing.
But, after a few years I look on my friends at school and now at campus of most their lives, I still couldn't define what a life would be if a woman come to one's life and involve in nearly all one's emotional wave everytime. For me, in this age, a mate is just the same as "candu". I've made a plan in this life. I think I'll start to search for a mate after I reach my 21-year-old age.
In my mind, a life mate is not just simply a girl friend that is able to be changed anytime you want, but a humanbeing that you commit yourself to involve him/her in your life so deep as never done before that your life is not your own anymore because of him/her. And also, I'm not a man with that kind of thought that is easily change my girlfriend everytime I feel I'm not suitable anymore to her. It was quite a very important issue for me to have such a mate in life. Beside that, in my opinion, in my age there's still not enough capacity to think such thing maturely because the adults, commonly, even in their age, they still couldn't define what love is. For me, I will start to think that kind of think after I could define what love is, a bit silly..

Smile!

It sounds common probably that everyone tells one another not to put on a distressed face, but rather the smiling one. It was the smiling face being the important point. It was rather the emotional condition of a person or commonly said as emotional quotient. I agree with those saying that Intelligent quotient is just a few percents of life success. Don't think those too high at first. Start from everyday life and you'll realize that your emotional quotient gives very important role in your way of life and the success you're reaching.
Once I was hardly smile everyday, except when I was in my private room, reading funny books. I realized then that my school achievement was largely influenced by this condition too which made my marks bad. Then I started new thing as I entered the acceleration class. No matter how difficult the problem I'm facing, there are things much more important to be concerned about that I had to lay aside all my unimportant problems first. Day by day I walked with that kind of mindset and it was amazing! I felt like I had no personal problems at all because my focus was not on my self but on everything around me, especially my work. Then I started to set my emotion on joyous condition all the time. It was just then I feel my life had changed totally into a new one.
So, everything must be started from setting your focus of life, not self-centered, and then start to enjoy your life with smile and many other little things and especially bring joy to your life.
Keep smiling!!

Maximization

I felt absolutely tired today. It's been nothing to work on actually this morning. But, the problem is that I went back home after all church activities yesterday at about 10.30 p.m. And then I didn't sleep until 4.30 a.m the next morning, monday morning, and actually I was only sleeping for 40 minutes! One thing inside my mind keeping me this way is that no matter how tired I be, every joy is decision having to be made and I decide not to lose my joy everytime in my life, eventhough through the lowest and the most tiring condition of my body. Funnily, that kind of mindset made me easier to maximize my potency. By that I could work over twenty four hours without being stopped even for a while. That's why I used to be workaholic when I was at my senior high school grade.
The point here is that everything goes up from your mindset. The key of my ability to endure working for such an amazing time record nearly everyday is setting my mind to keep enjoying everything and liking or build the interest in the field I'm working no matter how undesireable it is. In my high school grade, I decided to reach the 3 top rank in the class while on that time I didn't like many subjects. So, what I did was I set my mind to like all the lessons given by any teachers and study them back at home everyday until dawn which made me sleep only for 2 or 3 hours a day. It was a bit difficult at the start, but I enjoyed too finally until I got the third rank every semester for the last 4 semesters.
You know what, I didn't realize myself that I could do such thing in this life. So, since that time, I never think of what I don't like or what I couldn't do. I rather think of what I could do to set my mind in line with my destiny. Thus, don't think of all things you cannot do, but rather of the things you should do in order to reach your destination in the future. Set your mind today!

Butterfly Effects (Movie)

I'm sure this film is quite popular since it is an old film. I was remembered about this film last week as I watched the advertising in trans tv (I don't know the synonym for advertising that match the context). I think it was impossible to do. The film from the beginning until nearly three quarter of the total film tells us about the life of the man (I forgot the name) which had a strange psycological problem in her brain. He was easy to forget the event happening just a few second before he forgot all things. And finally, there was no memory lost for 7 years until he was accepted in a university. Strangely, all things came to blow up again when his old friend was going out of jail. His friend pretended to kill him actually but what happened was not that. He killed his friend. Thus, he was sent to jail and in the jail he started to remember each event he forgot in the past since he was a child. Then something strange happened there. He started to read his diary and all things seemed to be happening again (in his mind). He started to jump from a kind of history to another which he thought might be better in the future. In fact, he went back to the past and changed the event he wanted to change and a few minutes later he went back to the future ( the time he was supposed to be in) and looked to the condition. If it didn't suit him, he would go back to the past and change a bit again and then went to the future again. It happened for times and finally he found the most suitable history to make the future better for him and for his friends from the past. The thing to be concerned is the ability to go beyond the time and change things the person wanted. It was just like making himself God.
In my opinion, he had made his choice in the past and that would result in his future life. He had to accept it. He had to agree with what he had done in the past would result in the future and there would need no regret. If anyone can change his/her past, all men will automatically had their own earth and decide what their earth would be like. As a matter of fact, we cannot do that. Your decision today would effect your future by means of time. And it cannot be denied.
So, my suggestion is decide your choice today carefully and walk in it! Don't ever regret of what you decide because it is life. I like what Oprah said a few days ago, trying is failing with honour. So, don't do anything in a concept of trying but rather do anything with confidence!

Raining (raining season??)

It sounds strange probably if I tell you this story. There has been times of event cancelled because of me, for the open air event. Everytime I felt tired or just thinking I don't want to join that kind of event, and also praying for rain, it was raining just as I prayed. I still remember, two years ago, in my birthday, I had to go to a piano lesson after school and in that day I am not in mood of playing piano. I didn't pray anything to make the sky rains. I just didn't want to have that lesson that day. Eventually, it was raining hard! So I couldn't go out of school and I'm free that day.. It was just the same too as this. Once, I didn't want to have a PE lesson (physical exercise). So I just said to the sky to fall the rain and a few second later it was raining that we, the whole class (acceleration class) didn't have to go to Pajajaran GOR to have the lesson. It was funny actually for the other side of this thing. There had been so many times the sky was raining and I desired to go out in the open air without being wet. So I just looked toward the sky and tell it to stop the rain and it was astonishingly stopped!! The one I still remember until know was that when I wanted to go to IP (Istana Plaza) from school and it was raining quite hard that day, I commanded the sky to stop the rain until I went home. It did work! Oh ya, I remember too when I was driving my motorbike (actually, it was nearly everyday), going home, and that time it was nearly raining that I spoke to the sky to hold the rain not to fall until I arrived home. Amazingly, just as I arrived home the rain started to fall very hard! It was my life.. But, I felt a bit sorry for my friend, my new one, because I mever told him this story and that time (a week ago) he desired to have a PE lesson that day. On the other hand, I didn't want to have that lesson that day because I was terribly tired and I wanted to sleep very much. When we were having lunch together, there seemed to be no raining that day or would be raining but couldn't be predicted when it would be. Then I said (I just spoke up my desire) that there would be raining at 3.00 p.m. until evening. Funnily, the rain started at 2.00 p.m., but it was just a few minutes and then it was stopped. The real raining as I commanded started at 2.45 p.m. and it wasn't finished until we both went home. I'm sure he was thinking that I was just joking or just hoping that there would be raining at PE time while there wouldn't be raining at Pengling time. Nevertheless, all things go as I'd said.. Hahaha... (Sory to those wishing to have PE lesson last monday..)
