The Serious Corruption in Indonesia

           Apparently, the term of corruption is closer by Indonesia right now. As we know, Indonesia is the fourth corrupted country in the world from twenty-eight countries. In my opinion, it is caused by the less attention of Indonesian government in carrying out the law that they had formed. As the constitutional state, Indonesia should be able to put the law in the right way. Someone who conflicts with the law has to be punished in accordance with the rule. However, unfortunately it does not happen in Indonesia. The law in Indonesia looks like being made a fool. If it is so, people will be able to do corruption easily in Indonesia. No wonder if corruption becomes more and more serious in Indonesia.

            It is unfailing talking about corruption that is happened in Indonesia now. Almost everyday corruption case is reported on many news programs in both television and newspaper. Even, it always becomes the most popular topic in national news like what is happened on Indonesia at the last. Recently, corruption is reported not only done by some higher up such as Angelina Sondakh or Mindo Rosalina but it also done by some young state officers in Indonesia. That thing can be known by checking their account and the fact is they have fantastic account. Frankly speaking, it is impossible for them because fantastic account like that must be not paid for them. That is too exaggeration and not appropriate with their working life.

            By seeing this fact, I conclude that will be so difficult to delete the word “corruption” that had adhered to Indonesia. Actually, it is so embarrassing knowing that Indonesia is included on the corrupted country. However, what can we do if there is no wisdom from the government to carry out the law? There is no conscious to put the law in the right way anymore. It means all people in Indonesia will be deemed equally. There will be not differences between guilty man and non-guilty man. That is why the crime such as corruption becomes more serious even it will be difficult to be removed.

The Raise of Fuel Oil Price’s Impact

         The raise of fuel oil price in Indonesia is not a strange problem anymore right now. During Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono administration, the price of fuel oil had been raised for about three times. Certainly, I do not know why it can be like that. What I know is, Indonesian government forcibly has to raise fuel oil price in order to be able to follow the height of world fuel oil price. The government thinks that is the last choice. If the price of fuel oil is not raised, it may cause the raise of APBN fund. If it is, so it causes the less of fuel oil allocation on next August. Seeing that fact, it looks that the government is in the difficult position and has no other choice to solve the problem except by raising the fuel oil price in Indonesia.

            Everything is risky even so for government decision in raising the fuel oil price. That decision of course gives some impacts to Indonesian citizen. The raise of fuel oil price in Indonesia also causes the raise of principle commodity price such as rice, sugar, and vegetable. Surely, it is objectionable to the citizen especially for the lower classes. It will be more difficult to fulfill their daily needs if most of the principle commodity price rises. So, no wonder if many citizens do not agree with that decision. University students, entrepreneurs, even some of the district heads do not support that decision and it makes they do demonstration to against the raise of fuel oil price.

            For me, it is not a bad thing if many citizens do demonstration to against the raise of fuel oil although others think that doing demonstration is useless. I think, settling in the democratic state precisely demands us as the citizen to be more critical in facing many problems in our states and doing demonstration is the way to show the disagreement, right. By seeing this fact, I think that demonstration is the impact of the raise of fuel oil price in Indonesia to the citizen.

Negative Influences of Television

             Television is an electronic tool that is owned by many people. People in the country and also in the town use it to spend their leisure time. Television is not special thing anymore now. Everyone can buy it easily with cheap price, so it means that watching television is the simplest entertainment can be done. It does not need much money and time. We only have to connect the television with the electricity and after that sit down in front of television after turning it on. Television does not only entertain people through its entertainment program, but also gives people some information. Maybe, it seems like a newspaper. But, television is more instant and interesting than newspaper. Television shows many images in full colored set and produces sound. So, I think because of this, many advertisement companies prefer to choose television as media for promoting product. It looks that television has many function for human life.

King 2 Hearts

         Long time no see Lee Seung Gi in Korean drama after his latest acting in “My Girlfriend is Gumiho”. Of course, as his fans I miss him so. As you know that, he has good talent in acting. Whatever role can be acted by him successfully. Actually, for the first time I do not like his acting enough in “Brilliant Legacy/ Shining Inheritance”. It is because in that drama, he acts as an arrogant man and he get it well. Therefore, I think maybe it is true that he is really an arrogant man. However, none I think is true. Seeing me like this, it means that Lee Seung Gi is so amazing. His acting can deceive the audience. Two thumbs up for him.

         Knowing that Lee Seung Gi has good acting, many Korean drama productions begin to make cooperation with him. He is taken and turned as a main role. After staring as a main role in “Brilliant Legacy”, he stars in “My Girlfriend is Gumiho” as a main role again. Now, in 2012 he is also reported that he will be back in new Korean drama with Ha Ji Won. Firstly, the tittle of the drama is The King but it has been changed becomes King 2 Hearts.

          In this drama, Lee Seung Gi plays as Lee Jae Ha as lord that is good looking and materialistic. He falls in love with Kim Hyang Ah (Ha Ji Won), a special military agent of North Korea. The background of this drama is set in modern era when South Korea is still controlled over by Monarch. As I heard that this drama will be presented on March in some TV stations in Korea. Because I am Indonesian, I must wait it for presenting in Indonesian for longer time. Oh, cannot wait it! Now, you can watch the trailer that i get from YouTube :) enjoy it.

        

Taman Korea Surabaya

Untuk sebagian masyarakat Surabaya, mungkin sudah mengenal tempat ini. Namun, ada juga beberapa-nya yang masih asing saat ditanya tentang lokasi taman yang diberi nama "Taman Korea" ini. Sebenarnya, letaknya sangatlah mudah dijangkau. Taman ini terletak di jalan Dr.Soetomo. Dari arah Darmo terus saja, ketika sampai di stop-an pertama (perempatan besar jalan Darmo), langsung belok kiri. Lalu jalan terus saja. Tak lama setelah itu, kita akan menemukan lokasi dari taman ini.

Sebagai penggila Korea, saya sangat antusias begitu mendengar keberadaan dari taman ini. Hal pertama yang ada di benak saya adalah, bagaimana rupa dan bentuk taman yang namanya unik ini. Apalagi taman ini terletak di Surabaya, hal ini membuat saya ingin buru-buru pergi kesana dan segera menyaksikan sendiri keindahan dari taman ini. Saya pun bertanya-tanya, mengapa harus diberi nama Taman Korea? Dengan segera, saya pun mencari informasi tentang keberadaan taman ini pada orang terdekat saya, tapi ternyata tak seorang pun yang tahu. Karena sangat penasaran, saya tak kehilangan akal dan melanjutkan pencarian informasi pada berbagai sumber di internet hingga akhirnya saya bisa menemukan letak taman ini.

Ketika sampai di taman ini, saya mulai mengerti mengapa taman ini dinamakan Taman Korea. Terlebih lagi, ketika saya melihat sebuah prasasti besar yang menjadikan saya mengerti bahwa taman ini dibangun sebagai simbol persahabatan antara Surabaya-Korea, semacam sister city, gitu deh! Taman ini sebagai pertukaran budaya antar dua negara dan memiliki unsur-unsur budaya Surabaya dan Korea. Taman ini diresmikan pada tanggal 8 Mei 2010, oleh Bambang D.H selaku Walikota Surabaya dan  Mr.Kim, ketua Asosiasi Masyarakat Korea Selatan di Surabaya.

jiwa narsis dibawa-bawa, take a picture dulu, aaah! 

   

Falling in love dadakan with Bisma SM*SH

SM*SH, dimana-mana ada. Lebih parahnya, setelah main sinetron sekarang malah jadi bintang iklan. Sumpah, awalnya aku gak suka banget sama boyband ini. Seperti nyontek boyband-boyband di Korea sana. Mana di MV pertama mereka, dua personilnya berambut pirang. Aduhh, norak! Eits, ini pemikiranku yang dulu lho.

Sekarang, gak tau kenapa malah jadi beda. Cari-cari SM*SH mulu. Terutama personil yang paling lincah yang dulu juga pernah saya cibir. hehe
Senyumnya yang manis dan terlihat beda karena kawat giginya. Selain itu dia juga jago breakdance lho. yups, dia adalah Bisma Karisma.

Demam Girl and Boy Band

Seperti yang kita ketahui, sekarang ini girlband atau pun boyband sedang marak-maraknya, terutama yang berasal dari negeri ginseng, Korea. Mulai dari Super Junior, FT. Island, Girls' Generation, After School, Shinee, dll. Masing-masing mulai berlomba-lomba menciptakan style untuk maraih penggemar sebanyak-banyaknya. Nyanyian dengan bumbu tarian menjadi ciri khas yang ditampilkan mereka. Lihat saja, tidak hanya girlband yang mahir dalam cara ini. Boyband pun tak mau kalah dan ikut menjadikan dance sebagai dampingan saat mereka melakukan perform menyanyi.

Para Boy and Girl band ini juga memiliki lagu-lagu yang enak. Maka janganlah heran, jika banyak penikmat suara yang mulai beralih ke Korea pop. Seperti Girls' Generation dan After School. Kedua girlband ini sama-sama memiliki lagu yang enak. Meskipun aku hanya penggemar baru mereka, tetapi aku sudah mulai menggilai lagu-lagu mereka. Dari album terbaru Girls' generation aku suka "Day By Day" dan dari After School, aku paling suka dengan "Bang"-nya. Disini ada link untuk mendownload album-album mereka.
