Hot Issue

Good afternoon everyone.. Before I start my story, I'd like to say that my deep sorry for the victims of landslide in Ciwidey, Bandung. I just watched news on TV, and it said that it's estimated there are still 20 people missing.. I hope all the left families are given patience and the silver lining of this natural disaster. Amin..


Right now I really want to talk about Century Case (Gate). Century Gate has been the hot issue in our lovely country for more than 6 months. It says that the Vice President [who was the former Bank of Indonesia Governor], Mr Boediono, and the Secretary of The Treasury, Mrs. Sri Mulyani conducted offense by giving The Century Bank bail out. They gave Century Bank about 7,2 million rupiahs to avoid crisis.

We all know that the Pansus Century's members have been working very hard to reveal the truth. But personally, I support Boediono and Mrs Sri Mulyani. I believe their integrity and proffesionalism. They are very smart persons, and they must have done it only for Indonesia's good. Mrs Sri Mulyani has ascertained so many times that all she did was just for avoiding crisis. And I believe that, I think Boediono and Mrs Sri Mulyani are good persons. I remember my history teacher, Ms. Siti, told me and my friends about Mr Boediono. She said that she had a friend who worked in Bank of Indonesia, and she had been told by her friend that Mr Boediono was very charming and kind leader. Mr Boediono always brought lunch box prepared by his wife to the office, and he would have it together with his employess at the pantry. that is very sweet, right??
I privatly hope that those people are not trying to do impeachment to my [our] adorable Vice President and charismatic Finance Minister. I hope that what they are doing right now is not merely for political business. I hope they are not trying to sacrifice those 2 great state officials for their interest, or their party's interest.
Probably viewed from terms of law, what Mrs Sri Mulyani and Mr Boediono did was wrong. But if it's viewed from the side of conscience, their call to make bail out was right. I remember vividly what my economics teacher said to me. He is a law graduate who teaches economics. Sometimes holding a great position in a critical country like Indonesia gives an ultimate confusion. Even smart and succesful persons like Mr Boediono and Mrs Sri Mulyani can be confused to choose between using their conscience but breaking the law or stay in the constitutional law line but they can't avoid the crisis. Wooooahhh..
I think all politicians in Indonesia are great. They are smart, clever, well educated people. And I cant say that Mr Boediono or Mrs Sri Mulyani are not guilty [I dont understand about it at all] but I just wanna share my huge expectation on them. Hopefully what have been accused to them is not proven. Amiiiin.

Wants To Be Loved

Through ears, I wish I could hear your breath..
your footstep's sound, your beautiful voice..
Through eyes, I wish I could see your face,
your sweet smile, or your cute scowl..
Through words, I wish I could define what I feel,
the sweet things, the bitterness, and the happiness..
If you find your way back again to here..
To here, to the heart, which belongs to you..
Cuz this heart, wants to love,
and wants to be loved..
with all it's got..
If the door can be opened again,
widely, with you standing there
with your hands stretched.
with a huge smile displayed..
And I will pay everything for it
I will pay everything for it..
Cuz this heart is loving you,
Cuz this heart wants to be loved, with all it's got..

Coriolis Force

Yesterday I promised you an explanation of Coriolis Force. After searching in the internet, I could find some definition about it. There are:

1. A fictitious force used to explain a deflection in the path of a body moving in latitude relative to the earth when observed from the earth. The deflection (Coriolis effect) is due to the earth's rotation and is to the east when the motion is towards a pole.

2. Velocity-dependent pseudo force which is mathematically used to describe the motion of bodies in rotating reference frames such as the Earth's surface. Bodies moving on the plane of rotation appear to experience a force, leftward if the rotation of the reference frame is clockwise, rightward if counterclockwise. Such motion gives rise to the Coriolis effect.

3.An apparent, rather than real, force which causes the deflection of moving objects, especially of air streams, through the rotation of the earth on its axis. It shows up, for example, in the movement of an air stream, relative to the rotating earth beneath it.

So, you can make the conclusion on your own way, cant you?? :D

Back to Geography

Good evening.. It's very cloudy outside, and lightning starts to light the sky.. woooow..
However, I think I've found my lost mood to continue giving information about WIND..!

Now, let me tell you about monsoon wind.

Monsoon Wind:
The occurence process of monsoon wind is strongly influenced by the presence of two continents, Asia and Australia, and two oceans, Hindia and Pacific. On January, the sun position is in The Tropic of Capricorn [garis balik selatan] which causes Australia to get maximum sun radiation, and because of that, the monsoon wind from Asia continent moves to Australia continent through Hindia Ocean. On June and July, Australia continent experiences winter and Asia land becomes the low air pressure center and causes the monsoon wind from Australia moves to Indonesia and some other countries.

There are also cyclone winds.
Cyclone Wind:
This breeze occurs if an area whose pressure is low is surrounded by an area whose pressure is high. by that, the air in the high pressure will flow to the low pressure area. In accordance with Boys Ballot law, the wind in the northern earth will turn right and the southern wind will turn left.

Anti-Cyclone Wind:
This breeze occures if an area whose pressure is maximum is surrouned by an area whose pressure is minimum. by that, the anti-cycline wind will whirl leaving the center. this wind is the reverse of cyclone wind.

Passat Wind:
This wind blows from subtropic area to the tropic area. this thing happens because subtropic area is the high pressure center while the tropic are is low pressure center. The passat wind which blows from north is called "North East Passat Wind" and the passat wind which blows from south is called "South East Passat Wind". When it reaches the equator, this wind experinces deflection caused by earth rotation, named Coriolis Force..










What is Coriolis Force?? Wait until the next post.... :D


Hopefully this post can be useful for you... :D

Being Hero For Yourself

We might have been very calmed all this time..
have never thought anything about the future..
while the times keep going on. And as soon we realize that we're closer to the 'crucial' time
when your friends, teachers, or even parents.. cant help you at all.
when their advices or guidances cant guarantee anything at all..

So, who the hell that can help you?
This worry makes us think.. Forces us to push away our hate.. and pushes us to become closer to our Creator.
Cuz this is the time, when it's not the President, or teacher, or Mayor, or Governor who decide whether we can be success or not. But this is up to our Creator.

We are full of sins. Even in some cases, we know that we're still doing sins, but we cant just finish it up. cuz we're still holding our dignity and prestige too hard..

So, what the hell that can help you to wipe those feelings??

In the night, wake up just for moments. Tears cant stop dropping from the eyes, when u're begging for mercy and bless.
Asking for a forgiveness for what u have done and did.
Asking for an understanding for what you are doing.

He never sleeps, and there's no late for us.. cuz no matter how great that you think you are, someday we will meet the turning point.
that makes us come back to the beginning.
when there's no other way for us to move on.
besides admitting that He's the best, the only Helper..

This is the fight between you and temptation. Faith is the fortress, and you are the troops.
fighting to defend it, so it wont topple down.
So, build you fortress as strong as you can.
Guard it with many powerful and competent troops..


It's time for you to become a hero for yourself..




-specially dedicated for myself, who is almost desperate to death, but finally get a kind of enlightenment..- :D

Long Time No See

Hi, guys.. I really.. really.. apologize for neglecting this blog for more than 2 weeks. I've got 2 reasons, first, I've been busy lately, having many homeworks, course activities, and another tasks. Huft.. and the second is, my internet connection got a litle disturbance, it couldn't work. That is a double fortune..! :D
Last post I was talking about wind, and I promised that I would explain the rests about it in the next post, but apparently I have to break my promise. Ouch, I'm sorry.. I really don't like breaking that, but since my condition can't support me, I have to delay it until I get the right time and mood. Lol.
A week ago I had Pra-UN test. Goood. The test was very horrible! I didn't study hard, so when I took a look at the question sheets, I could only take a deep breath and then answered it with my limited knowledge. hahahaha.
There are many things I really want to share, but it's already midnight. I have to wake up early tomorrow.
Babaaaaaay.. :D

Just Wanna Write Something. Not Important, though :D

Good evening. how was ur day? I hope u all had a great day, just like me.. lol. well, it was not as that great actually. it was so-so, but I'm still grateful for not having worse day than yesterday. :D

The official announcement of USMI IPB [Bogor Agricultural University] came out today. Well, i wasn't surprised at all since I had known that I wasnt accepted from my mom. Besides, since in the beginning, I never had an interest to study at IPB, I just feel that I won't fit there. I wont fit with its study focus. lol. So, I just took easy to the annoucement. Some of my friends who are not accepted got very sad.

Owya, I wanna share with you about my new interest. I just figured out one interesting subject. it's GEOGRAPHY..! Horray... based on the UGM try out result, I got the highest score in Geography, even, my geography's score beat my english's score..! hahaha. I indeed like geography. well, actually I started loving it 2 weeks ago, at the same time when the intensive program in my school started. My geography teacher is very funny, full of spirit, and expresive. she succesfully makes me interested to study it deeper. I like anything about wind, specially wind. to me, wind has unique characters. There are many kinds of wind. Wind can also divided based on different aspects. I love wind. I start to know the difference between monsoon, passat, etc..lol. And now I'm gonna browse and search any information about wind. :D

So, you want to know about wind?? Okay, I'll tell you..
What is wind?
Wind is a moving air caused by earth rotation and air pressure difference [from high pressure to low pressure]. Wind moves from a higher air pressure to lower air pressure, and from lower air temperature to higher air temperature.
Type of wind?
Wind is generally classified into 2 kinds. Local wind and monsoon wind.
Local wind itself is divided into 3 kinds, which are:
1. Land wind and sea wind, occur in the seashore.
Sea breeze occurs in the day since in the day the land receives heat faster than the sea does. this breeze blows from sea to land. And instead, land breeze happens in the night since in the night the land releases the heat faster than sea does. this breeze blows from land to sea.
2. Wind valley and mountain wind
At the afternoon, the air which is as it were trapped on the valley floor, heat faster than the air at the top of the mountain that is more open [free], then, the air flows from the valley to the top of the mountain and become the wind valley.
3. Falling Wind with Dry and Hot as Nature
Foehn wind or falling wind is a dry and hot weather located in Alpine mountainside. This sort of wind is common in Indonesia with the name of the wind Bahorok (Deli), wind Beetle (Cirebon), wind Gending in Pasuruan (East Java), and wind Brubu in South Sulawesi).

I will tell about the monsoon wind tomorrow. I gotta go studying now, before I get sleepy. Okay.. Gudnite everyone!

College Thingy

Hai.. Long time no post!! U all must be missing me, musn't you?? Hahahaha. Sorry, I got many things to do this week. Last week was a totally hectic day. Practice assignment, daily tests, try out. But I think I start to be able to adjust with that.
I really want to tell you this. I dont know why, but it feels like I've got enlightenment.. Some days ago I was very worried about college. I was only thinking whether I would be accepted or not, or what faculties should I choose. But now, it's over. I've applied for UI and UGM, and I've verified their application. For UI, I tried very hard to encourage myself and choose International Relation, Law, and Philosophy. But still until now I dont know whay I chose philosophy??? lol. and for UGM, I've chosen Law, English Literature, and Tourism. Hahaha. I couldn't even believe myself when I chose those faculties.
Yesterday I did UGM try out. The result was satisfying. and it was too satisfying, since the problems were very difficult, specially economy and math [my biggest enemies]. but I was still in the top ten. I couldn't believe that, it's been 2 try out I did, and I always could manage to be in the top ten. I hope.. I really hope.. this luck will last and accompany me until the reall test is over. Amiiin.
At least now I realize, it's not good to impose will. I really want to be a diplomat, but I have to accept the truth that it's not easy to go to International Relation. So, I decided to apply for International Relation only in UI..
I always hope, and it's my only hope, I can get a job in the future in which I can develop there. I can be very useful, and I can work all out. I've told this before, haven't I??
Whoever reads this, I expect you pray for me. Wish me luck, pray for me so I can pass the tests.. Thank youu..!!
Gotta go now, got my eyes asking to be closed. lol. ;D
