what a wonderful world

Have U ever heard this song before? Song from Louis Armstrong. Song about how he is so appreciated all things in world. That's what happened in me today. I walk on to the office alone. It had been so long that I never walk alone to the office from my boarding house. It's take about 5-10 minutes. And so much things I got from walking.
I felt the sun shine, warm sunshine...
I felt the wind blow...
I felt the blue sky, white clouds...
I saw a happy boy, playing alone (an autism I think, but look so happy)...
I saw a bunch of kids playing together....
I saw their parents gather with other parents while them look after their child (ngobrol bersama sambil jaga anaknya)...
I saw a beautiful red flower and trees....
I saw a walking dog...
I felt my leg still can be use to walk, my eyes to see, and all my part of body are on good condition...
That time, I felt so peace in my heart. There's no obstacle or any difficulty on me again. And I know, that's how Buddha set me free from my bothersome. And I keep said thanks to Buddha to give me this life.. :)
And then I playing this song on my head....
And I believe, today will gonna be a beautiful day... :)
Ouuww.. What a wonderful world..

Here's the lyric...

============================================================
What a wonderful world from Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin......i love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

(instrumental break)

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you).

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

Use your Brain, not your Heart

A man kidnapped his own daughter on their own basement house for 24 years. She was abused by her own father and grandfather. Imagine, 24 years without saw a sunshine!! And now, she had 7 child which is also never felt the sunshine. Their skin look so white and pale. And their eyes can't stared the sunshine well. Just imagine, what kind of father and grandfather whose dare kidnapped and ripped his own daughter and granddaughter!! And that was really perfect lying, b'coz he can hide his daughter from his own wife.
The story above just one from another million story like this.
I've read newspaper this morning. It was about death baby whose throw away by it's mother. How come?! Pliss.. if you don't want to having a baby, don't make it. But if you just want to having sex, use condom. Just play safety.
Just thinking, why they can kill unsin baby. All these things becoz of one thing. It is sex, desire. I believe if they use their brain, these all things maybe will never happened.
What kind of world will be if all people in this world never use their brain to thinking??
After writing this, i just thinking, can I control my self? I can said that I hate these people coz what they had did. But, what happen if I be the one of them? That's mean, I already know, what other people thinking about me. But Thank God, I'm not one of them.
I think this is all about how we using our brain and control it.
So Girls, just to remind you, to be more be careful.

*So difficult if we must to writing in english, but I want to improve my English, so that's why, lately I use English.. :p

Q3-ers Goes To Tulamben

Not all Q3. (since Selly and Agung must to have a work to do and Martha, Awank and Tyok in Jakarta).
This is the story about our Journey to Tulamben. Yaps, yesterday, 21-22 June 2008 we went to Tulamben. It was a wonderful journey. Tulamben is wonderful place. But still, for me, for now Amed still the best place I ever seen. Too bad, I didn't have my own camera. But thanks to Nita, with her camera, I can got a great picture.
Most people said that Tulamben is the best place for Snorkeling and Diving. But yesterday, the wave was so big. So we cannot snorkeling on that day. The price for snorkeling is Rp.20rb and for Diving is Rp.225rb. The price is cheap enough for diving I think. Coz, if we compare with the other prices for diving on another places, the price is about >Rp.400rb something. So, yesterday we just having fun together on hotel.
O yah, i forgot to tell about our hotel. We stayed on Puri Madha Hotel. Cheap I think. We just pay Rp. 250rb for One Room with AC + Hot Water and ExtraBed + BFast for 3 person per night and Rp. 225rb for One Room with AC without Hot Water and ExtraBed + BFast for 3 person per night.The room is quiet big and clean. But too bad, the BFast was not satisfied for me. We just have pancake, a thin banana pancake.
Lets continue the story. On Saturday night, we have BBQ. We have sausage, ham and chicken for BBQ. It makes our stomach really really full enough. After BBQ, times for photo session. The Moon was so beautiful on that night. Here's the photo.
Maybe you think that we made the photo on studio, but NOT. You are wrong. The photo was captured on Tuamben it self. It was full moon. The moon was red. You can see the reflection of the moon on the beach. Beautiful isn't it?

Just using the light from 2 handphones (left and right) and 1 camera and also (the most important to make the beautiful picture) the background.
From Front to back, Left to Right :
front : Tiar
Next : Me and Fajar
Next : Wina, Lusi, and Reza
Next : Ivon, Erni, Nita and Maria
Next : Raymond Suryawan and Agus

And tarraaaaa.... Here's the result...
I'm really really proud with the result.. :p
Pliss... comment the picture...

After having dinner with BBQ, we played UNO. Some of our frens were slept. Maybe they were so sleepy and tired. When we played UNO card, we have unforgettable moment at that time. We called it "LHO!?" moment. That was very funny moment and we were laughed like someone was tickling us on the right spot. :p
The first day was finished coz we were so tired (coz too much laughed) and very sleepy.
The second day, we woke up and having a breakfast. Unsatisfied Bfast I think. But, like our frens said : "Just get the positive" (ambil positifnya aja.. :p). After Bfast, some had photo session, some go to having bath, and dunno where the rest are.. :p
Waiting until 12.00 PM to check out from the hotel, some played UNO, some played chess and some singing with the guitar as the music background. And here was the time to check out. Before that, againnn,, we had another photo session.. Ooppss... don;t blame us coz we are so narcism.. :p
on the way to home, we stopped by in Amed just to showed Amed to Ivony. We found the great spot to having a picture. And againnnn... It was another photo session.. :p Here's the photo...


Isn't that beautiful?
What a blue sea..
I really really fall in love with Amed...
A wonderful Amed..





You can see the water looks so clear and pure.
I try to zoom the water.
can you see the coral?






After that, it's really time to went back to Kuta. Before that, we stop for a while on Satay restaurant.. :p delicious and cheap. only Rp.500 for one satay. And we went back to Kuta, eating on Restaurant Plengkung. Delicious Mak NYuss.. :p

O yah, this journey was our last Journey with Bang Ben. Heard sad huh? But no! Because this the last journey on June. Even Bang Ben wanna resign, but we can still have another journey on another month with Bang Ben. As long as earth still turning, the Sun still shine and GOD still exist, I believe that we will still have another journey together on more beautiful place.. :p

Gelas yang retak

"Les, tau gak? Gelas yg udah retak ituh ga bisa disembuhin."
"Bisa v. Musti diancurin lagi dan dibentuk dari awal."
"Tapi kan dah ga sama lagi"
"Tergantung cetakannya v. Karena bahannya sama, jadi harusnya sama"
"Yah, klo menurut gw sih yah, sesuatu yg dihancurin trus dibuat ulang ituh gak akan pernah sama lagi. Pasti ada yg berbeda"
"Iyah seh, bukan gelas yang dulu lagi. Tapi mungkin bisa lebih indah. Ato lebih jelek. Tapi gw dari dulu suka berpikir. Klo gelas yang retak itu bisa disembuhin. Ya dengan menghancurkannya dan membentuknya dari awal."
"Iyah, tapi bakal jd beda."

Yap. Ituh sepotong pembicaraan antara gw n seorang teman gw. Tiba - tiba aja gw memulai pembicaraan tentang gelas yang retak, n ternyata pikiran gw n teman gw berbeda. Gw beranggapan, kalo persahabatan ituh seperti gelas. Kalo persahabatan jadi retak, rasanya susahh buanget buat sembuhinnya.

Let's go back to the previous posting on My blog about Cewe Biasa, Cowo Aneh n Cowo Pria.
Kira - kira, gimana yah kelanjutan hubungan pertemanan si Cewe Biasa ituh dengan si Cowo Pria? Akankah hubungan mereka akan tetap sama seperti dahulu atau berubah? Apakah sama dengan halnya gelas yang retak ituh?
Dalam pandangan gw, hubungan mereka ituh udah seperti gelas yang retak. Entah akankah bisa menjadi balik normal atau nggak. Tapi rasanya bakal susah buat balik lagi ke hubungan seperti dahulu kala. Karena walo bagaimana pun, udah ada luka di pertemanan ituh. Dan luka ituh sepertinya merupakan luka yang susah untuk disembuhkan. Mungkin luka ituh akan sembuh cepat atupun lambat. Tapi luka akan menyebabkan bekas. Luka nya bisa hilang, tapi akan berbekas. Klo luka luar, hanya dengan diolesin salep atau lotion penghilang luka pasti bekasnya akan hilang. Tapi dengan syarat klo ituh merupakan luka ringan dan bukan luka berat. Dan menurut gw, luka persahabatan ituh merupakan luka berat yang akan menimbulkan luka.
Karena gw yakin, pasti antara cewe biasa dengan cowo pria ituh akan timbul perasaan yang nggak enakan diantara keduanya. Bisa jadi si Cewe Biasa merasa takut melukai perasaan si Cowo pria, ato bisa jadi dari pihak si Cowo Pria ituh masih merasakan luka akibat ditolak oleh si cewe Biasa. Yah, hanya waktu yang dapat menyembuhkan luka dan menghilangkan bekas luka. Tapi waktu tidak akan pernah bisa kembali, kecuali ada yang bisa menciptakan mesin waktu?
Dan mungkin, dengan adanya mesin waktu, akankah Cewe Biasa kembali ke masa lampau, ke masa di saat dia belum mengenal Cowo Pria dan Cowo Aneh dan menghilangkan segala kejadian - kejadian yang pernah dia alami? Hmm... gw rasa ituh bukanlah hal yang bijak dan hal yang bagus....Karena ituh bearti si Cewe Biasa hanya seorang pengecut yang hanya bisa lari dari kenyataan. Yak, semangat cewe Biasa. Pasti kamu bisa menghadapi dan melewati segala permasalahan yang ada.. :)
