Laugh Out Loud

hey sooo long time no see haha. I don't know, i've been thinking about you for a lot of times, but when i'm finally here in front of my laptop to say hello to you, my brain's stuck and I don't know anything to write. So i usually leave the page and go to youtube or twitter. That was it until today i was finally here again and still didn't have any idea. So I went to youtube and (finally... thanks God :D) got some ideas for you. But before starting, it's better that you see this video (i got it from youtube) first.

That is actually a cover from kamga (one personil of TANGGA) and his girlfriend, but they did some mistakes and laugh so loud until i also laughed when i watched them laughing (take a look at 1:13, pay attention to kamga's voice after that). Haha i still think that it's funny. Okay this' just a start. Have you got the topic? Come on i've given you the clues. Anyone???......... Okay it is about laughter. Hahahahahaha let's start.

Laugter is one of the topics which was discussed at LIA. In one lesson, we discussed about the laughter and how it can be good for your health. The lesson made us discussed about a lot of benefits of laughter. Because of my curiousity, i asked GOOGLE for help and find some facts about laughter. Just click here to read more.

I honestly don't know if it really makes my body healtier or not but i feel like there's something inside my body going out everytime I laugh my head off. In this so-hard time, i often feel stressed of school stuff, and all the activity I get in school. I never tried to laugh until this evening, i watched that video and laughed out loud. Haha, it felt so good, and i'm better now.

But as usual, the good things will be good in the right place, in the right time, and in the right quantities. To laugh so often until you have no time left to do other task (over -___-) will not make you feel better. It is okay to have a little laughter between your stressing activity, but laughing the whole day? Oh come on, people will think that you are one of the prisoner at the nearest mental hospital, seriously.

That's all. haha keep laughing!! -Bima

Depressed

I just read one posting in my very great senior's blog, Kak Bimo (seseorang dengan nama yang sama dengan gue, o dan a gak beda jauh lah). The posting sounds so depressed, but all the things that is happening in my life now, is exactly what the posting sounds about. I don't know, but for the first time in this year, i will tell you about my depression.

Gue adalah tipe orang yang lebih suka menyimpan semua perasaan dan kegalauan hati gue sendiri. Bahkan, beberapa saat dulu, beberapa orang sering berfikir bahwa gue adalah seorang anak manja yang gak punya masalah apapun, hidup dengan kehidupan yang sempurna dan penuh kesenangan. Ya ini adalah salah satu akibat dari sifat penutup gue. Buat gue, untuk apa membagikan masalah kita ke orang lain selama kita bisa memberikan senyuman untuk orang lain. But now as all the things around me is changed, pikiran gue pun berubah.

So what's the matter? Penyebab yang sama yang membuat senior gue yang hebat itu gundah, masalah akademik.

Di semester pertama, Allah sepertinya telah terlalu membuai gue. Nilai-nilai gue bagus di awal tahun, remed sedikit. Buaian yang sebenarnya diimpikan oleh banyak orang. Tapi buaian seperti itu bukanlah hal yang seharusnya diberikan kepada gue dengan mental yang lebih lembek dari tanah liat yang sedang dibentuk, karena justru buaian seperti itu yang justru membuat gue terlelap terlalu lama dalam buaian.

Gue terbuai, dan keterbuaian gue itu membuat keadaan gue jadi sangat menyedihkan, nilai yang pas-pasan di tengah orang-orang yang justru nilainya menaik. You know it feels like I fell from the highest place in the world when I saw my score for sociology is the lowest in the class. I used to have a smile in my face when I looked at my exam result. And it's so sweet to be remembered, and also very sad when i remember that i do not feel grateful of those good things i got.

Well satu-satunya hal yang bisa gue ucapkan mengenai ini adalah bahwa roda kehidupan terus berputar, dan gue sedang berada di posisi yang paling dekat dengan tanah. Dan yang gue bisa lakukan untuk menghibur diri gue sendiri saat ini adalah bahwa suatu saat nanti gue akan ada di posisi atas sana, melihat diri gue dan dunia gue tersusun rapi kembali. Dan saat gue ada di posisi itu, gue ingin memastikan diri gue bersyukur, bukannya mengeluh.

Dulu gue sering berfikir, untuk apa membagikan masalah kita ke orang lain selama kita masih bisa memberikan senyuman untuk orang lain. Tapi setelah beberapa waktu, dan beberapa hal yang telah gue alami, gue berani menyimpulkan di setiap kisah depresi ada kisah, dan ekspektasi gue adalah bukan agar kalian bersimpati kepada gue tapi lebih kepada pelajaran yang bisa kalian ambil. do what i didn't do, and do not do the mistake i did.

The One And Only

I as one of the blitz people of AKSI 34 Starmotion proudly present:

RALLY PHOTO COMPETITION!!!!

I guess some of you are confused, yeah let me explain. AKSI is one of the largest program of the student organization in my school. It is held to celebrate the birthday of our school which was born at November 20th. So, every year, we make this event as the present for our school. The "34" its self is the age of our school. A little bit old huh?

AKSI is divided into three big part of event. The first one is CHARITY which like its name, takes all the things about helping the unfortunate people. The second is PASCAL which takes all about the academics. And the third, is BLITZ! which take all about the art. Since i was assigned in BLITZ!, i will explain about BLITZ! more to you.

BLITZ! this year only have one competition, the one and only, RALLY PHOTO! It is the competition of capturing the world or we simply call it as the photography. Technically, we spread the participant to the environment around my school which are not as fortunate as we are at my school. Since AKSI take the humanity as the main theme, it is a really good idea to spread them capturing the unfortunate people.

We just held this competition last saturday. We devided them into few little group which is followed by one liaison officer (i really have no idea about how to read it) taking care of them. I am the liaison officer (i still don't know how to read) of group of two students from Bintara. Their determination was great, i mean they were really serious. They were even running to get some objects.

That is my name tag. You know, when i wore it, I felt like wow this' great (i know, overact). Oh i also took some picture of the group where i was the liaison officer in. Take a look!

The competition was held very well. There were some little mistake but it was not really important. The most important was not only the matter of win or lose, but the humanity. I do really hope that this competition could open the participant that there are a lot of unfortunate people around them that needs help. So the purpose of our AKSI this year is changing. It is not only to celebrate, but also to give what we have. Wanna join? Just come!

Go out, help people!-Bima

Land Trip

Few moment before holiday, i have ever imagined that I will unhappily spend my holiday at my house, staring the monitor while surfing internet for many hours, go to movie rental (i will do this happily), or just playing roller coaster tycoon at my notebook. I planned everything but as usual, my plan didn't go so well. God decided to give me another experience instead of giving me again my "beautiful plan" this holiday. I'm so happy and so grateful of this changing of plan.

After the last day at school my parents took me to a very great land trip to their home town in east java. This first trip was not very great since we always do this great trip every year. As usual, we went to middle java (of course by car) and stayed in a hotel there for a night. The next morning, after we had our breakfast, we continued our trip. We said hello to my uncle in his house at the middle of our trip. And after twelve-hours traveling, we finally arrived.

The next day before my cousins arrived, i went to a bookstore there and bought a "Naked Traveler" by Trinity. After that I went home, and met my cousins who were waiting for me. So, we (my cousins, my family, and I) spent few days there with playing video game together, feeling sad together after watching our national team of "Indonesia" was beaten by the Malaysian, watching some movies, and of course doing some culinary things.

I really enjoyed my time there, but even the trip must be have the ending (but i tell you this' not the end), we went home bringing my cousins who wanted to have their holiday in Jakarta. Eventhough I said "went home", actually our trip was just begun.

Our trip was started with a land trip on a long road that is surrounded by forest. While my cousins were sleeping tightly, I was very busy enjoying this very beautiful view (just for your information, i usually sleep when we pass it before). Our car passed so fast so the view was so great with the trees that looked walking. And it was also so great to see the road with a little sunshine and surrounded by the trees. Why? I don't know.

When we arrived at Magelang (somewhere near Jogja if you curious), we went to a famous and beautiful temple, Borobudur. I've been there for a few times but the experience there was still so "wow". My cousins and I were so excited so we explored every floor at the temple. Since it was a huge temple, i mean is still a huge temple we felt so tired because our breath was taken by the breathtaking view there. haha just kidding. But unfortunately, we couldn't go to some places of the temple because it was still on the reparation after the eruption of Gunung Merapi few weeks ago.

After staying at the hotel for a night, we continued our trip and had our lunch in a restaurant near the beach. So after eating, we went to the beach and enjoyed the view there. To be honest with you, the view was not so great because the sea was very brown. I don't know but I didn't see something beautiful there. But yeah I enjoyed it.

that's one of the statue of Borobudur Temple. Is anybody know where is his head??

And this is the picture that i took at the beach haha

So the point is there's no point haha. I mean, this is holiday! Just go out from your rutinity and enjoy your life. See the world out there. Not so hard thing to do, right?

Open your eyes and go traveling-Bima

Say Hello To 2011 And Travelers!

I'm just gonna make it simple. In this very beautiful day, i'm gonna tell you about two things. Interested? Keep reading.

The first thing is I want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Time passed so fast and nothing we can do about it. But talking about new year, i don't really have a so-high resolution. My resolution is just so simple: Happy Life. This is the affect of my resolution last year that mostly undone. So, yeah I'm just going to enjoy my life this year, my happy life. But even the happy life needs something to reach, maybe i will have a montly target this year. I said MAYBE.

So how to live your life as a happy life? Some people say that traveling is one of the ways. So, without any plan, I bought two great books of traveling which the author comes from two different countries. The first one is from my lovely country Indonesia, and the other one is from another beautiful country United States. These two books are so great. I'm not really sure that traveling is my hobby but I just really enjoy reading about someone's traveling story. But until now, I keep dreaming of traveling in the future.

Here's the book from Indonesia (left) and from United States (right)

So, happy holiday too since we're still in holiday. But talking about holiday, while i'm typing this posting for you, I'm on my car trip to Bandung. Haha, I'm going to talk about my holiday next time. Keep following me (read:my blog)!

Go out, see the world!-Bima

CDs And Books Are Arts

Sebelum UAS, gue membeli sebuah CD album dari Michael Buble dan sebuah kumpulan prosa yang dikarang oleh Dee. Those two great masterpieces that comes from two different person from different side of art are breathtaking. Haha breathtaking, i really don't know what word to use.

taken by stupid and riddiculous me

To begin, let's talk about dee's masterpiece. Gue akui gue bukanlah seorang yang maniak terhadap sastra. Tapi boleh dibilang gue tertarik, termasuk dengan karya Dee yang satu itu. Gue ga mengerti beberapa cerpennya. Tapi overall dari yang gue ngerti, gue berkesimpulan bahwa Dee adalah seorang penulis yang handal. Prosa-prosa yang paling gue kagumi dari 'filosofi kopi' adalah prosa-prosa pendek yang kalo lo coba tulis di word ga bakal sampe satu halaman. Prosa-prosa pendek itu to the point, langsung ke inti tapi maknanya dalem. Dan Dee di dalam prosa-prosa pendeknya itu mengangkat tema-tema yang familiar dalam kehidupan kita sehari-hari yang kadang luput dari mata kita. Recommended book for you. Just read it!

taken by the stupid and riddiculous me

And this is Michael Buble! Haha It is funny to remember that I used to say 'Buble' the way you say 'bubble'. Haha really, I used to. But anyway, gue as you know sebagai salah satu lelaki yang menyukai musik jazz, menikmati lagu-lagu di dalam CD tersebut. Gue ga ngerti mau menjelaskan apa lagi. Yang jelas CD ini patut untuk dibeli oleh lo (yang ori, jangan bajakan), terutama yang menyukai jazz, seperti gue.

Well that's all. Last message from me: Tetap Berkarya!

The Victims

I capture those pics at my beloved school -__-" And they're so pity becoming there of my experiment victims. Haha sorry i'm not advance.

Capturing the world!-Bima

Yeah I Feel It. Do You?

Hai. Asal lo tau gue sangat berat hati dan dengan perjuangan yang sangat untuk mengucapkan salam pembukaan kepada kalian.

Ooh it sound so depressed right? Okay let's change.

HAAAAIIII!!!

Oke maafkan saya yang sedang labil dan depresi dengan ulangan ekonomi yang sepertinya bakal hancur sehancur-hancurnya. But anyway, kemaren minggu gue resital, finally, dan what i am excited with this recital is that the recital is going to be a jazz concert. And just for you know, lagu-lagu jazz itu sama sekali gak gampang. Tapi asik.

That's the poster. Isn't it great?

Jujur gue sebagai manusia yang gak sempurna dan ga akan pernah sempurna, melakukan beberapa kesalahan. Dan kesalahannya itu keliatan dengan amat sangat karena gue salah di intro. But fortunately, setelah itu gue memainkannya dengan lancar. Haha, tapi yang gue rasa berbeda tahun ini dibandingkan tahun-tahun sebelumnya adalah gue merasakan sesuatu saat gue tampil di depan.

Jadi saat gue tampil di depan itu gue merasakan gue seperti bermain di kelas sama guru gue. That's it. Gue gak lagi basah kuyup karena keringat ketegangan dan gue akhirnya mengerti gimana rasanya bermain, menunjukkan ekspresi dalam diri gue di depang orang banyak. Yeah gue merasakannya, apakah lo juga?

This is unimportant thing for you to know huh? Yeah but this is my blog, and you'll read anything about me. So just keep visiting, keep reading, and keep running.

Hobby, Traveling, And Me

Kebanyakan orang, akan merelakan uang yang dimilikinya, untuk hobinya. Orang-orang yang suka mengkoleksi mainan-mainan lego contohnya, akan berusaha melaksanakan hobinya itu walaupun terkadang akan menguras dompetnya. Contoh lain, seorang pecinta musik, entah itu Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classic, atau apapun, akan merelakan uangnya untuk membeli CD, atau menonton konser musik favoritnya. Apakah ini terjadi pada diri lo?

Beberapa hari yang lalu gue membeli buku yang berjudul "Travelers' Tale" dan menyewa sebuah film di video club yang berjudul "Up In The Air". Kedua karya manusia ini sama-sama menceritakan orang-orang yang mempunyai hobi travelling.

Let's start with Up In The Air

Film ini adalah film yang mengkisahkan tentang seorang lelaki yang sering berpergian karena pekerjaannya. Bahkan dia menyebutkan bahwa bandara, pesawat, jetlag dan segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan traveling adalah rumahnya. Sebenarnya inti dari film ini bukan mengkisahkan tentang hobi traveling-nya, tetapi bisa dilihat bahwa lelaki ini mencintai traveling. Dan dia melakukan apapun untuk bisa travel. Dia bahkan hafal segala sesuatu mengenai traveling, terutama menggunakan pesawat.

The second, is the "Travelers' Tale"

Hal pertama yang akan gue katakan mengenai buku ini adalah gue merekomendasikan buku ini untuk siapapun kalian yang membaca tulisan ini. Gue sebenarnya belum pantas untuk merekomendasikan apa-apa karena bahkan gue pun belum selesai ngebacanya. Tapi yang jelas, this is a must-read book.

Hal yang membuat gue takjub adalah ketika buku ini mengkisahkan tentang seseorang yang sedang berada di negara Eropa dan gue membayangkan kondisinya. Ketika si tokoh sedang berada di sebuah coffee shop dengan pemandangan orang lalu lalang di luarnya adalah indah, menurut gue. (Aneh?)

Dan buku ini mengkisahkan tentang empat orang sahabat yang hobi traveling, dan merelakan untuk menabung demi hobi mereka.

Gue pun berbicara kepada diri gue sendiri, bahwa pada suatu hari nanti gue ingin menjelajahi bagian dunia yang lain. Gue mau memperluas dunia gue. Gue pengen walaupun itu kerja, belajar, atau hanya jalan-jalan. Apapun, yang jelas gue ingin menjelajah. Semoga bisa. Amin.

"Traveling- it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller."-Ibn battuta

Is It Raining?? What the @%^&#&%?

Gue menyukai hal-hal yang kebanyakan orang gak suka. Gue suka jalan kaki (untuk jarak yang ga begitu jauh) di saat orang-orang lain lebih suka naik angkutan umum. Gue suka jazz disaat cowo-cowo seusia gue lebih suka musik metal rock punk dan semacamnya. Gue menjadikan film sebagai hobi gue sementara orang-orang lain hanya menjadikan film sebagai hiburan.

Dan yang terakhir, gue menyukai hujan, saat semua orang menyukai matahari.

taken from:photo bucket

Waktu itu adalah hari Sabtu, dan gue sedang berada di tengah jalan yang macet dan panas. Bedasarkan pengamatan gue yang sungguh sangat tidak bisa dipercaya ini, traffic + high temperature adalah salah satu sumber terbesar dari kemarahan manusia. Dan yap, supir angkutan umum gue terlibat perkelahian dengan salah satu penumpang di angkutan lain. Dan keluarlah semua kata di kamus bahasa kotor-nya.

Setelah gue sampai di rumah, istirahat, dan akhirnya bersiap-siap untuk pergi bimbel, ternyata hujan. Gue nunggu sekitar satu setengah jam-an, dan setelah hujannya sedikit reda, gue pun berangkat. Dan saat gue keluar, di mata gue dunia berubah.

Jalanan basah. Ini adalah salah satu hal yang gue sukai dari hujan, dan biasanya akan disertai dengan bau-bau khas hujan. Suhu juga turun, pasti. Dan lo tau apa yang berubah? Orangnya. Gue ga tau ini pandangan gue aja atau memang ada sesuatu yang berubah. Macetnya masih sama, tapi orangnya. Bunyi klakson udah jarang, teriakan-teriakan juga udah ga ada. Bahkan gue juga merasakan hal ini di diri gue. Ada sedikit ketenangan yang dibawa oleh hujan untuk menenangkan dunia kita ini yang sama sekali tidak bisa dibilang tenang.

Jadi ketika setiap pagi gue keluar rumah dan melihat langit tertutup awan-awan, saat semua orang akan berkata What the heck? Today will be a very bad day, gue akan berkata Thanks God, today will be another great day.
