Remembering Michael Jackson

It’s been 2 years since The King of Pop left us. Do you miss him? Yes, I do I miss him a lot. Hari ini 101 jak fm muterin lagu-lagu Mike dari jam 12 malem tadi sampe jam 12 malem nanti. Waaaahhh today is full with Michael Jackson, today is Michael’s day. 2 tahun setelah kepergian mike kira-kira apa yang terjadi ama anak-anaknya ya? Bisa bertahan sejauh ini tanpa seorang ayah kaya Mike. Mike emang sayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang banget ama Prince, Paris dan Blanket (semua orang tua emang sayang ama anak-anaknya ya? Hehehe). Jujur aja waktu nonton funeral Mike 2 tahun lalu di TV gue nangis loh apalagi pas Paris ngomong makin pecah deh tangisan gue. Sedih banget rasanya dan ngerasa kehilangan juga pastinya. Walaupun orangnya udah ga ada tapi gossip-gosip yang ga jelas masih aja bertebaran dan itu bikin gue kesel. Contohnya pas awal-awal Mike meninggal katanya arwahnya gentayangan di sekitar Neverland. Gue udah liat videonya sih yang bayangan di lorong itu sama pas Jermine di interview di Neverland. Pas Jermine di interview di Neverland itu, di belakangnya ada sesosok bayangan Mike dan emang jelas banget kalo itu Mike tapi kalo untuk masalah ini gue sendiri percaya ga percaya sih sebenernya. Trus ada gossip juga yang bilang kalo kematian Mike itu HOAX!!!! Mike pura-pura meninggal buat menghindari utang-utangnya dan hijrah ke negara lain buat menghindari utang dan gossip-gosip miringnya dan ada juga orang yang diduga sebagai Michael Jackson tapi gue lupa namanya siapa. Jadi ada orang yang dianggap itu sebagai Mike yang udah oplas trus di wawancara di salah satu stasiun TV. Mukanya sih penuh sama luka bakar dan suaranya kalo kata gue emang rada mirip ama Mike tapi ga sama! Orang itu bilang dia emang kenal ama Mike dan nganggep Mike itu sebagai pamannya. Waaah!! Lama-lama bisa gila gue denger gossip ga mutu itu. Untuk masalah yang satu ini gue sama sekali ga percaya! Kenapa? Karena gue piker Mike ga mungkin ngelakuin hal bodoh kaya gitu. Gini deh, Mike bisa aja ninggalin dunia hiburan, berhenti nyanyi, ngedance,menghibur fansnya, bikin lagu dan sebagainya walaupun Mike emang cinta banget ama dunia itu walaupun berat tapi ada kemungkinan dia ngelakuin itu, melepas gelarnya sebagai King of Pop. Kalo emang Mike pura-pura meninggal untuk tujuan semua itu, okelah Mike bisa lolos dari masalah-masalah tadi tapi satu yang ga bisa dia hindari yaitu anak-anaknya yang amat sangat dia cintai. Kaya yag tadi gue udah bilang Mike mungkin mampu melepas segala popularitas dan gelarnya sebagai the one and only the king of pop tapi dia ga akan sanggup buat ninggalin dan hidup tanpa anak-anaknya. Anggaplah sekarang Mike emang masih hidup dan tinggal di suatu tempat tapi dia masih ngatur jadwal buat bisa ketemu ama Prince, Paris dan Blanket. Apa wartawan lama-lama ga akan curiga? Apa mereka ga akan tahu? Penciuman wartawan tuh tajam banget dan gue rasa lama kelamaan hal itu bisa tercium ama para wartawan. Hal terkecil tentang Mike aja bisa kecium ama para wartawan apalagi hal serius kaya gitu. Trus buat apa keluarganya bikin acara funeral yang b dihadiri orang banyak dan orang-orang terkenal dan juga disiarin di TV? Bahkan beberapa stasiun TV Indonesia juga ikut nayangin. Kalo emang meninggalnya Mike itu rekayasa, berarti keluarganya udah ngelakuin pembohongan publik dong? Apa mereka ga mikir kalo suatu saat ditemuin fakta kalo Mike itu masih hidup, apakah Mike bisa diterima di masyarakat luas setelah pembohongan besar-besaran itu? I don’t think so. Gue rasa Mike dan keluarganya ga akan ngelakuin hal konyol itu. Itulah sebabnya gue ga percaya ama berita itu. Dia bahkan bikin lagu khusus buat anak-anaknya yang judulnya You are my life di album invisible nya. Pas denger lagu itu gue bisa ngerasain betapa besar rasa sayang dan cintanya Mike buat anak-anaknya dan di lagu itu nunjukin kalo selama ada anak-anaknya dia bisa survive. Dia sayang banget ama anak-anaknya. Walaupun harus berat mengakui tapi gue percaya Mike emang udah pergi ke Surga.amiiin. Trus teka teki tentang agamanya. Tapi ga tau kenapa dang a tau dari mana keyakinan itu muncul, gue yakin dan percaya kalo Mike itu udah meluk islam jadi pas dia meninggal, dia meninggal dalam keadaan islam. Di keluarganya yang islam itu Cuma kakaknya, Jermine nah Jermine itu sering ngasih buku-buku tentang islam ke Mike dan menurut Jermine, Mike itu sering nanya tentang islam ke dia. Kalo emang Mike emang ga tertarik ama islam kayanya ga perlu juga Mike banyak nanya tentang islam ke kakaknya. Trus gosip yang bilang katanya 3 anaknya itu bukan anak kandungnya dan segala macemnya.

Barusan penyanyi Marcel ngasih komentar tentang Michael Jakcson. Dia bilang Mike itu manusia stengah dewa dan musisi yang jenius karena dia tau banget apa yang dia mau buat musiknya. Gue setuju banget ama Marcel. Mike itu hatinya lembut banget dan sangat sangat sangat menyayangi anak-anak. Sampe-sampe dia sering ngundang anak-anak buat main di Neverland sepuasnya dan bahkan mereka boleh nginep di sana. Waktu itu anak-anak itu pada nginep di Neverland dan mereka tidur di kamar Mike. Dengan senang hati Mike mempersilahkan mereka untuk tidur di kasurnya dan dia sendiri malah tidur di lantai. Itu salah satu sikap yang menyentuh hati gue. Mike itu kehilangan masa anak-anaknya makanya dia ga mau anak-anak lain ngerasain hal yang sama kaya dia itulah sebabnya dia care banget ama anak-anak. Di setiap konsernya pas nyanyi heal the world pasti ada anak-anak dari yang normal ampe yang cacat. Ah pokoknya dia sayang banget deh ama yang namanya anak-anak, binatang dan planet ini. Pas dia konser, dia ngeliat serangga di panggungnya trus dia bilang ama salah satu crewnya kira-kira ngomongnya gini “ hey, itu ada serangga tolong dipindahin” trus salah satu crewnya masuk panggung trus nginjek serangganya dan akhirnya serangga mati trus Mike bilang “ aku bilang kan dipindahin bukan dimatiin. Kenapa kamu nginjek serangganya?” dia ngomong gitu sambil senyum ke crewnya dan sang crew Cuma cengar-cengir. Pas liat kejadian itu gue tuh melongo dan bertanya-tanya “ya Allah ini manusia apa malaikat? Kok ada orang sebaik ini? Sampe-sampe dia ga mau menyakiti seekor seranggapun”. Mungkin Mike nyuruh crew mindahin serangga itu supaya ga keinjek ama dia tapi crewnya malah nginjek serangga itu. Aduuuh sumpah deh Mike itu bener-bener manusia setengah dewa. Kepeduliannya sama bumi ini juga ditunjukin lewat lagu earth song sama puisi planet earth. Trus pas latihan buat konser THIS IS IT nya salah satu keyboardisnya nyoba buat bikin lagu the way you make me feel kedengeran lebih ngejazz tapi mike bilang “ ga usah. Ga usah diubah tetep mainin di chord yang sama dan biarin terdengar nge-pop karena saya jalur saya emang pop jadi biarin begitu aja” trus keyboardisnya bilang “ oke mike, I’m sorry” trus mike malah gapapa dan dia malah memuji keyboardisnya itu. Kalo kata gue hal itu emang nunjukin konsistensinya sebagai musisi. Kalo udah ngomonging Mike kayanya gue ga bisa berhenti deh.hehehe banyak yang bisa dipelajari dari seorang Michael Jackson dan banyak juga yang kehilangan sosok the king of pop. There’s only one king, Michael Jackson!

You’ve gone mike but your music still life with us. You left your legacy in this earth. I love you and miss you a lot mike. I love you more MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON and rest in peace out there daddy. Love yaaaa

video ini yang bikin tangisan gue maikn pecah

21. Reading Habit

Believe it or not there is a good habit that enhance your life, sharpen your mind, and bring you to a successful life. I believe that reading is one of a habit that if developed in a persons life will bring great satisfaction, and sense of accomplishment to the reader. Reading is a key towards civilization progress. Reading will help you to improve your knowledge, Improves creativity and Improves concentration and focus.

Most of us are aware that reading is important, but some people don’t do enough to encourage this habit. Reading habit has been a great help in developing knowledge. When you are reading, you will find the things that you don’t know before and by reading you you will know every little thing in this world. By reading we can know about the history of the great people who had live before we were born in this world and helps us know current tragedy in the world. More knowledgeable you are, smarter you are. Moreover, Reading improves a person’s knowledge about various fields of life. This knowledge base helps a person to make correct decisions in different situations of life.

By reading more books and exposing yourself to new and more complete information, you will also be able to come up with more creative ideas. As a personal example, I read many, many books on IT Networking. So often, when IT Admins are stumped with a problem, I can come up with a creative solution that isn’t written anywhere. Although I am not an IT student in college but I can solved the problem. The reason I can do that is because I have read so many books on the subject, I can combine lessons from all of them into new solutions. It’s clear that reading books can make you being a creative person.

Then reading also can improves your concentration and focus. Reading book takes brain power because reading book make you to use your brain to think. When you are reading book, it requires you to focus on what you are reading. Unlike magazines, Internet posts or e-Mails that contain small chunks of information. Books tell the whole story. So, when you are reading a novel for example you can read from the back, the middle or just at the beginning to know the whole story. You must read from the first until the end. It needs your concentration to understand the plot.

Nowdays, to improves your knowledge and creativity is not only by reading books but also it can from the internet or TV programme. However, those claims are not always true. If you searching about something in the internet maybe you will find what you are searching but do you know that all the things that written in internet is source from the books. It means that books provide you complete information about everything.

In conclusion, reading not only increases your knowledge but also let you to be a creative person and helps to concentration. Browsing in internet is not a wrong way but the facts tell us that books are more complete and reading also lead you to a success life.

20.Should we learn more than one language?

Language is used to communicate to other people it also helps us to express what we are feeling. There are so many language in this world. For example, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, English, French and others. Should we learn more than one language? some people say yes but some people say that mastered more than one language is much better. I prefer to learn more than language because it can be your skill for your life and make you easier to get a job.

Nowdays, not only an English Letter student who can speak english but also economic student, psychology student also can speak english. That the reason why we should learn more than one language. Can speak in more than one language is more impressing. If you plan to study at a foreign university, college or school, you'll need a good knowledge of the local language. For example, you want to study in France, so you must mastered French. It means before you go and stayed in France to study, you have to learn French in order to you won’t have any difficulties to commucite with your lecturers and friends. In addition, if you and some of your relatives, friends or colleagues speak a language that few people understand, you can talk freely. Learn more than one language can improve your skill in speaking in various language.

If you're considering any of the major professions-such as medicine, law or technology, knowing a second language guarantees your application get more attention. No matter what career you choose, a second language is always an asset. Communicate in another language are a golden commodity. Then if you've ever thought of being a nurse, a doctor, a police officer, a judge, an architect, a businessman, busnesswoman or a singer, you need to learn more than one language besides English. A person who knowing more than one language enhances opportunities in job. An employer will see you as a bridge to new clients or customers if you know a second language.

Some people claim learn and mastered one language is enough. Can speak english is enough because english an international language. On the other hand, knowing more than one language is much better than only know one language. Can speak more than one language can improve your chance to success in your school and career. If you can speak more than one language in your office, your boss will give more attention to you anf you’ll be his pride.

It the end, the facts are the reason why we should learn more than one language. it doesn’t matter if you only can speak one language but in this era, learn more than one language is a good idea to improve your success in life.

19. Korean Wave

Finally weekend has come. I will enjoy my weekend but before enjoy the weekend, I have to attend literature class first. My lecturer explain about prose today. I thought we will end the class three hours later but after the class ran for two hours, my lecturer ended the class. My friend and I have a appointment with Miss. Ira. She is Umi’s friend. She need our help to talking about K-Pop (Korean Pop). She is older than us and she is taking a master degree but I’m forget what the major that she takes. She wants to interview us about Korean idols and K-Pop for her thesis. Maybe her thesis has relationship with K-pop, so she asked us to talking about it.

She gave us some questions. She asked since when we knew about about K-pop then why we like it. We have different answers. Umi and Ninu knew it since she was in elementary school while Dwi and Zata since she was in junior school, Kiki since she was still in boarding school and me? I knew about Korean idols and K-pop since in the end of 2009. I am too late among them. They always said that I am a ‘ new comer’ in Korean wave. That’s the reason my knowledge about Korean idols and K-Pop is worst among them. She also aked us who is/are our idol/s? all of us have more than one idol. Our idols are come from K-Pop and K-drama (Korean drama). Then she continued asked us why do we like them? Of course our main anwer is same.it is because they are handsome and good looking but we have addition answers. The reason why do we like them is besides they are handsome, they also talented. Many of them not only can sing but also can acting or playing music instruments. For example, Noo Min Woo. He is one of my idol. He is ex drummer a band named Trax. He not only can playing drum well but also can play guitar, sing and piano. Besides he also good in acting. One of his famous drama is My Girlfriend is Gumiho. Then he also good in modeling.

Then they also can being MC and also can amusing people by their jokes. They have a good sense of humor. They know how to entertaining people. When they become a guest of TV show, they won’t look cool anymore like on the stage. They can being crazy, they make other people laugh until the audience’s stomach hurt. Talking about their fashion and style, we are absolutely like their fashion. They expert mix and match their apparent so that looks very cool and fashionable. They can be role model for the others. When I go to somewhere or watching television, I saw that many people become the follower for their style. I don’t know why whatever they wear, it will look so good and fashionable although they only wear a simple cloth. Apparently, not only me said so but my friends also said so. Actually I didn’t interest about Korean for the first time but it doesn’t mean I hate them and the people who admire them. I just feel it is not my style at the moment. Listening their songs without knowing the meaning and what they said it looks not fun. But I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t close my mind for another things.

18. My Childhood

Childhood is the moment where you are growing from the kid to adolescence. Not everyone feeling the happiness when she or he was child but for me childhood is the sweetest moment in my whole life. I enjoyed my childhood very much. My childhood was full of happiness and affection from my parents. I spent my time with my friends to playing together. There were a lot of games that my friend and I did when we were a kid. For example, hide and seek, rope jumping, and many more. Mostly a girls like to play dolls with her friends but not for me. When I was kid I don’t really interesting to play dolls, I prefer play marbels with the boys. As a girls I don’t like to collecting dolls. One day, I played marbels with the boys and I was the only girl in that game. I played very well at the time because I always be a winner for some rounds. The boys amazed, how could it be? but unfortunely in the last round I defeated by them.i also like to spent my time with my friend to played jumping rope, hide and seek and other traditional games.

I guess everyone has own unforgettable story in her or him childhood, so did I. My mother said, I was very stubborn and rather annoyed when I was kid. One day, I was walking near my house with my mother then I saw an ice cream. I asked my mother to bought one it for me but she ignored it because she didn’t bring money. I forced my mother to bought an ice cream for me I didn’t care whether my mother brought money or not. I pulled my mother’s dress but my mother didn’t change her mind then I cried loudly on the street. Everyone stared my mother and I. Maybe they thought a mother has hit her daughter until the daughter cried. Then my mother carried me on the back. I haven’t stop crying when we arrived at home. My mother said, “ didn’t you ashame crying on the street?”. I didn’t care what my mother said. My mother lost her patience. She brought me to the bathroom and and dropped me into the bath tub. She left me alone in the bathroom after she poured all my body. My body was completely wet. I haven’t stop crying although my mother has poured and left me alone in the bathroom. I cried louder and louder and it made my mother angry. She said she will tell to my father about my naughtiness so that my father will scold me. I stoped to crying because I was afraid my father will scold at me. I came out from the bath room and found hair dryer to dried my body up. She stared at me and asked, “ didn’t you ashame that everyone stared at you when you’re crying on the street?”. I just can said sorry at the moment and unfortunely my father didn’t scold at me after my mother told what has happened in that day. He just gave me advice. He said that if I love my mother, I have to promise to not do the same thing anymore in the next day. That was one of my naughtiness in my childhood.

I really miss my childhood where I don’t need to worry, don’t have so many tasks and bear the burdens. All I have to do is just playing, having fun, and laughing without worry about anything else. Childhood is a greatest phase in my lifetime. I really want to back to my childhood and repeat the moments that ever happened in my childhood. I am not a child anymore now. I am an adult aged 20 years old and all I have to do now is study hard and bring my parents to the happiness.

17. Autumn in Paris

Like I said before after finished reading Summer in Seoul, I will continue to read thesecond novel of Ilana Tan. I fulfilled my promise didn’t I? Last week I went to bookstore with my friend. In the bookstore there are a complete novel of Ilana Tan. Summer in Seoul, Autumn in Paris, Winter in Tokyo and Spring in London. I confused when stood in front of those books. I confused which book that I should buy first. My friend helped me to make a decision and I decided to bought Autumn in Paris. ‘Autumn in Paris’ from the title you will think that this is a romantic story because the setting is in Paris. You also might think that the story will end happily. Is that so? Let’s see.

People said that Paris is a romantic city. Many couple come to Paris to spend the time with their partner. Maybe that is the reason why you might think that it would be a romantic and happy ending story. After arrived at home, I don’t want to waste any time to read the novel. After take a bath, I grabbed the novel and read it. There are some French language on the novel and of course I don’t understand what the meaning but luckily writer wrote the meaning below.

The story tells about a girl name Tara who lives in Paris. He lives with his father. His father is Frech and his mother is Indonesian. His mother live in Indonesia. Her parents didn’t live in the same house anymore because they both have broke up that’s why her mother live in Indonesia. Tara has made a decision to live with father. She’s a broadcaster in a famous radio station in Paris. She has a best friend name Sebastien. Sebastien is an architecture. Actually Tara fell in love with Sebastien since a long time ago but Sebastien didn’t realize it. He just consider Tara as his best friend and his sister. When Sebastien told Tara about the woman he just met or he’s falling in love with a woman, actually Tara mad at him and didn’t want to hear his story even just a little bit. Tara didn’t have any option, so she decided to hear the story but he didn’t show her enthusiasm.

One day, Sebastien introduced Tara to Tatsuya Fujisawa, his colleague from Japan. For the first time Tara didn’t interested in at all with him. Tatsuya can speak French well and can call ‘Tara’ very well. Usually people in French call her name, it will hear so strange even Sebastien can’t call her name well. She gave 8 for Tatsuya because he can call her name very well. Then she increased the score for Tatsuya because she likes the way he talked to other people, the way he welcome someone and he is very polite. Tatsuya almost reached the perfect score. Tatsuya is very mysterious man that’s why Tara being curious about this man. The next day when Tara went to a cafe, she met Tatsuya. They both looked very enjoy when chatting. Then Tatsuya asked her to be his guide to walk around Paris and Tara agree. From that moment they meet almost everyday and Tatsuya started feel comfortable with Tara and they’re closer time by time.

Tatsuya didn’t know why exactly he can feel so comfortable easily. Tatsuya is an introvert man. He won’t tell anything to other people but he can share everything to Tara. Tatsuya actually confused why did it can happen. They’re closer day by day and Tatsuya started to open his heart, he fell in love with Tara. So did Tara, she can forget Sebastien now. She just consider Sebastien as her best friend, no more. They both fell in love and they both also realized it. They love each other and Tara’s days full of Tatsuya so did Tatsuya. Tatsuya has other purpose to come to Paris. He wanted to found his father. His mother has passed away and the last wish from his mother to Tatsuya is finding his father in Paris. After searching about his father, finally he can call his father and asked him to Tatsuya . The old man didn’t know that a man who looking for him is his son. Tatsuya told about everything. Tatsuya’s mother was ever made a relationship with this man but suddenly he left Tatsuya’s mother without knowing that Tatsuya’s mother was pregnant. Hearing about that, the man very shocked and blaming his self.

When Tara and Tatsuya went to Tara’s cafe, they met with Tara’s father. Tara’s father and Tatsuya shocked. Tatsuya shocked because he was wondering what’s Tara’s father doing there and Tara’s father schocked because he also wondering why he was be with Tara. Then they both out from the café for a moment. The man told that Tara is his daughter. Tatsuya definitely very shocked because Tara is his girlfriend now. It’s so impossible to make in relationship with her little sister. After knowing it Tatsuya keep distance with Tara. Actually it hurts hisself and Tara’s. Tara didn’t know yet about the truth she also confused why Tatsuya stay away from her. She was wondering whether she did something wrong or not. Then Tatsuya decided to back to Japan. Maybe he will forget about his problem and Tara after back to Japan. One day, Tatsuya got an accident. A nurse from Japan told Tara and his fatherabout the accident and without wasting the time they went to Japan soon. Tatsuya got serious accident and Tara very sad knowing this and finally Tatsuya gone forever.

Actually before Sebastien introduced him to Tara, Tatsuya already met Tara. Tatsuya interested in Tara from the first time and when Sebastien introduced Tara to him, it was a seconf time he met Tara. He promised if he met with Tara for the third time intuitively, he would try to open his heart that’s why he asked Tara tobe his guide.
