Celine Dion - Power of The Dream

     Do you know Celine Dion? I think most of you knows Celine Dion. She is the singer of the original soundtrack of Titanic movie. She has a beautifull voice. I think she is  wonderfull.
     I don't wanna talking about Celine Dion. But this is about my favorite song. That song is singed by her. The song is the anthem song of 1996 Olympic, if I'm not false. The song's title is The Power of Dream. You must be kidding if you say that song is not good. It is awesome song. The song is totally inspiring.
      Some of lyrics that I like very much is :
"...the strength of just "I can", has brought together people of all nations..."
      I think it mean if we are being hardworker, we always believe that we can solve the problem. No matter how difficult or hurt thats problem.
       And if we try to be the best in our life, we will be the part of the best people from other nations.

"...the world unites in peace, we pray that it will always be..."
     Whoever you are, or whatever you are, please make this world unites in diversity. Don't make those diversity is a wall of our creativity to make a better world. Don't waste the time. We need doing something to make this world better. Even though it's small, it must be good if it is very useful. Ok, stop the war please! :D

"...feel the flame forever burn..."
     We have to try, try, and try until we reach our goal. We know God gives us the powers. Don't waste it!

Ok, juts listen for the song and you will discover how wonderfull this song. Thank you for reading this absurd post. :)

Being Good Student in Indonesia-#1

     "Being good student in Indonesia"?

#1 Learning a lot of lessons
     What is the aspect or I mean what is/are makes you become a good student? Or it's just judged by our point in every subject these we learn?
     I'm still confusing with what target that Indonesia Government is expecting from us(students in Indonesia). I mean we are just commanded to learn the subjects in school. The government, specially department of education and culture, doesn't give us the chance to select the subject that we like to learn. I think if we select the lessons that we think it's used for our future job, it will be more efficient for us. We can study while we spend our time as young generation.
     Just doing homework at the time. The teachers always say those words. You know, most student have more than 15 subjects to learn. I mean they have no time enough to finish the lot of homeworks at the same time. Don't the teacher communicate with other teacher about giving jobs/homeworks to students?
     We are teenager, you know. We are still growing up in our ability and even our body. I know the oldman want us to be hardworker. But, don't make us as your "object" because of your jobs. I mean you, all of teacher.
     We want teacher who cares us as our parents in home. We want you to  understand us. Don't persuate us doing a crazy job. We want you teaching us about the truth of life. Not the stupidness. We want you coloring us with pure happiness.
     Please make us focus for our briliant future. I know you all want us to be smart in all subjects. But, we have capabilty. :)

Mimpi Apa Semalam

     Bisa dikatakan hal nomor satu yang aku inginkan saat ini adalah info mengenai placement. Semua barang berharga tidak ada artinya jika dibandingkan mendapatkan info mengenai placement. Jadi, info mengenai placement adalah info yang most wanted lah bagi kita semua kandidat YES.
     Setiap hari jika ada wifi, hal utama yang harus dilakukan segera adalah membuka email. Berharap ada email mengenai placement yang masuk. Jika tidak ada email yang masuk, akan aku refresh minimal sebanyak tiga kali. Untuk memastikan benar-benar tidak adanya email yang baru. Begitulah mengapa email dan wifi adalah sahabat karibku.
     Semalam aku bermimpi. Bermimpi memang sudah biasa. Terlebih lagi hal itu adalah reaksi kimia di otak kita. Tapi kali ini mimpinya berbeda. Yaitu mimpi mengenai placement.
     Jadi gini ceritanya, seingatku di mimpi itu saat aku pulang sekolah aku segera menuju kamarku. Kuambil handphone dan kubuka email. Tak disangka, ada email yang baru masuk berjudul "Your permanent placement in US. Hi, how are you?" Gila! Membaca judulnya saja sudah membuat merinding. Lalu aku buka dan kubaca emailnya. Aku tidak begitu ingat apa saja yang tertuliskan di dalam isinya. Seingatku ada tulisan seperti ini :
Name : Irsyad Hadi Prasetyo
Native Country : Indonesia
Host Family : (lupa isinya apa)
Host School : (lupa isinya apa)
Address : Ruth street 13th, Boston
State : Minnesouta
     Lalu aku berlari ke lantai bawah mencari ayah dan mamaku ingin memberitahukan bahwa aku sudah mendapatkan placement. Betapa bahagianya mereka saat mengetahui bahwa aku sudah mendapatkan placement.
     Namun aku terbangun. Menyadari bahwa hal itu tadi hanyalah sebuah mimpi. Aku pun segera tidur kembali. Anehnya, aku bermimpi kembali mendapatkan placement.
     Jadi begini ceritanya. Saat kami sekeluarga sedang makan siang di ruang tamu, ada kurir pos yang datang. Aku segera mengambil surat. Betapa kagetnya aku melihat kop di amplop surat itu bertuliskan Bina Antarbudaya. Segera aku buka melihat apa isinya. Ternyata isinya mengenai placementku. Aku tidak begitu ingat bagaimana isi surat tersebut. Yang aku ingat aku medapatkan placement di negara bagian Kansas.
      Lalu aku terbangun lagi. Menyadari bahwa itu semua hanya mimpi. Sekarang aku hanya berdoa semoga Allah SWT memberikan jalan yang baik. Semoga aku segera mendapatkan placement.

Placement??

     Ini adalah cerita masalah placement. Kami, kandidat YES, sedang khawatir menunggu kabar placement kami akan datang kapan. Placement semacam dimanakah nanti kita akan ditempatkan di AS selama setahun. Mulai dari keluarga asuh dan sekolah lokal. Placement adalah kunci utama keberangkatan kita. Jika belum mendapatkan placement, kita tidak akan diberangkatkan. Tapi ada kabar burung, meskipun kita belum mendapatkan placement, kita tetap akan diberangkatkan dan akan tinggal sementara di panitia AFS di sana sembari kita menunggu mendapatkan placement.
     Hal mengenai placement sangatlah krusialnya. Oleh sebab itu kita sangat sensitif mengenai placement. Jika ada yang membuka obrolan mengenai placement pasti obrolan itu akan memanas dan pecah. Bila dikatakan, kita udah diujung tombak menuju AS. Dan langkah terakhir untuk "melontarkan" kita ke AS adalah placement. Jika berbicara mengenai placement, kita pasrah. Kita serahkan pada Allah SWT untuk memberikan jalan yang benar. Toh semua ini ada di Kuasa Allah.
     Ada info yang tidak jelas sumbernya mengatakan bahwa kabar placement akan diberikan mulai dari bulan Maret sampai Agustus. Alhasil, kita jadi was-was dengan info placement. Bisa dikatakan semua anak kandidat YES saat ini setiap hari akan membuka email, membuka email, dan membuka email. Udah gitu aja kerjaan kita setiap hari. Berharap kita segera mendapatkan email dari pihak Bina Antarbudaya pusat mengenai placement kita.
     Dan, itu lah sebabnya email di hpku lebih sering kubuka daripada twitter atau facebook. Mohon doanya ya, semoga lekas dapat email placement. :)

     This is what will happen if I combine current awesome camera app, Camera 360, and selfie snapshot. It doesn't matter if the subject in the photos is good people with good looking. But, this is my selfie!!! RTFL!!!! XD I'm laughing to my face.
