"They 'touched' me!"

Last weekend I went to Blitar with my mother and lovely elder aunt. Actually, I didn’t ‘went for recreation’ or something, but I DROVE them to Blitar. Haha. Drop-and –picking thing as usual. I spent only one night in Blitar, departed on 9 a.m. at Saturday and went home at 11 a.m. at Sunday. Wheww, it was a very tiring trip! For girl like me, driving for about 4-6 hours from Surabaya to Blitar sure are unlovely. And since last weekend was a long weekend (we got holiday in Saturday, Sunday and Monday, didn’t we?) so the road was veeerryyy traffic and busy!! Wow, so much adventuring and challenging for me.  On the way from Surabaya to Blitar we stopped by at Kediri, picked up my elder uncle and my lovely cousin. And then we continued the trip to Blitar.

But this is where the story begin. There was a looong march to celebrated Indonesia’s Independence Day! The long march was followed by high school’s student, employees, and so on. The road was veerryy full of people marching ‘till I couldn’t move! They looked so proud holding the Indonesia’s flag and marching along the street with singing Indonesia’s proudest song. In that moment I felt so touching, why I have to be so judging to Indonesia? We only saw Indonesia from its darkest sight, corruption, drought, starvation, and so on. Our ‘picture in our head’ been shaped by media, only media. They made us didn’t look closely to other Indonesia’s potential and accomplishment like Indonesia’s winning in Beijing Olympic, the successful to arrested terrorist, or even their potential in finishing the conflict. Miss Universe 2008, Miss Mendoza, said that she love Indonesia and didn’t want to leave Indonesia yet.

With a fact that she only had visit Yogyakarta and Jakarta. We should’ve been proud for our Indonesia. If we as Indonesia’s citizen didn’t do this, who else gonna do it?

Hai Guys! Lama juga aku ga posting something di sini. Pardon me, beberapa hari belakangan aku sibuk nyiapin persyaratan buat ikut tes CPNS Deplu sama ODP Mandiri. Pertamanya sih emang ga niat ikutan, tapi abis sharing sama beberapa kakak kelas di kampus akhirnya aku mutusin buat ikutan (Tes CPNS Deplunya, kalo ODP Mandiri emang udah lama niat). Padahal waktu itu udah tanggal 3 Agustus (hari Senen) dan deadlinenya tanggal 6 Agustus (hari Kamis)!. Jadilah aku seperti Rambo, pontang panting ngurus smua buru-buru.. Dan ini oleh-oleh pengalamanku merasakan ribet dan berlapis-lapisnya birokrasi di negara kita tercinta ini : Senin, 3 Agustus 2009 – Minta Surat Pengantar RT RW buat ngurus SKCK Ga habis pikir kan, kenapa warga Negara baik-baik pake disuruh ngurus kayak begini segala. Katanya sih, semua yang mau ikut tes CPNS emang harus ngurus ini dulu. Dan mau tahu tahapannya? RT – RW – Kelurahan – Kecamatan – Polsek – Polres ! What the ****!! Aku ke rumah pak RT abis maghrib buat minta...
