There is a thread on IMDb indicating that this movie is deluding history. The thread starter was questioning "symbol of fascism" that changed into the "symbol of hope" for humankind. History tells that Yamato is a flagship of Japanese empire. I am not that into Yamato. I am a Macross generation. So, I do think that I would say this from an outsider not a fan. Also, I am not trying to bash the person but just trying to analyze what's the meaning of Yamato. A history lesson in my senior high hinted me of what kind of happens. Meiji Restoration was triggered by a humongous naval ship made of steel landed on Japan. The fleet led by Commodore Perry was causing chaos unto the heart of many Japanese people. It began the industrialization of Japan and her modern heart. Still, the heart still beating fast for the people of Japan at that time. They decided to build a flagship that big enough to counter the Western. They want to be save from that black ship that sh...

I have put a new year resolution candidate in my Facebook account. My resolution is to have better understanding about person that having unstable heart [is it the best translation of "menggalau"?]. This might be a joke to some of us, but this is actually important for me. Many of my friends have this state of mind. Some of us might think, "ugh, isn't it obvious, they were weak!" But, I don't like that kind of argument. Judging people without seeing the cause of it is the reason of wars and perils. Things aren't as is. There are some chain reactions towards that behavior. And failed to understand the root cause, we might end up making prejudice. For a (self-proclaimed) scientist such as myself, jumping into conclusion is totally for idiots. So, I must take my part to understand what is wrong with them in order to understand them. I hope, even if we can't cure them, we have an antidote so that their negative-ruining-life emotion won't affect...

A new case arise on Indonesia today. It's about a girl who got kicked in her face by a security personal in an apartment. She was imitating Suster Ngesot, an Indonesian version of nurse ghost. The apartment management has released CCTV footage about what happened. IMHO, the security is not wrong here. It's his job to secure people. From what I saw in CCTV, he backed the people on the elevator. He move forward as other people were shocked behind. He did his job to protect. Now, is it hard to tell the security personal about doing a plan? As far as my experience, every security personal, especially one in a large apartment would love to cooperate. They don't mind if we would like to do anything as far as it doesn't hurt. There might be a case of they would refuse, but that's rare especially when the reason was to have a surprise party. Now, the poor security personal only did his job. But, the parent of that poor girl was furious and sued the poor guy. If my...

I am not an American, but I couldn't help myself to comment about this ad. Newt Gingrich, a person who wants to run election in presidential battle 2012, made an interesting ad. It is interesting to comment. I really not care about the person, but the message and the fact that this video is promoted in Youtube as the new hot video, itching my hands to get the keyboard. The first ignorance he deduce from his ad is the level of his believe of what America that they once knew. What kind America is that? America that supports child labor for having better products? (*cough* sport shoe *cough*) America that bombs other nations so that they could have gasoline cheaper than mineral water? America that supports tyrannic leaders just to have their ways? I am sorry to write those up. I know that our economy, Indonesia, would go nowhere without America imported them. I would not be a computer scientist without their innovation in computer. I am one of the other people in the world...

Magneto's Bride If Magneto could ever let alone to have a married life, would he stop hating human? ---- When my church friends asked for charity, they teased me, "Jep, donate and we will be praying for you to have wonderful bride." Err... do I that desperate for marriage? I know they did silly things to tease me. I don't mind their joke, actually. In fact, why would I bother to write this? Simple, so that I could update this blog. :)) [DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A HARSH JOKE! JOKE! NOT TO BE TAKING SERIOUSLY. OH, BTW, IT'S CALLED SATIRE ] Talk about marriage, there are reasons for people taking it. The Parents Parents desperately want their children have marriages. Even if they told you they won't force you, their behavior indicates otherwise. They don't realize it, but you do. You wish you could say, "stop it!" But, it would made you an asshole and besides, may be they were right... At first, they would come with soap dram...

I was like everyone else, still lingering to the old Hybrid Theory. And over the years of mixing the same old material, I have lost interest to Linkin Park. So,  like everyone else, this album was missed by me because of the dubious of previous albums. I wasn't aware of their coming to Indonesia this year. But, with two Transformer movies using them as soundtracks, I think there was something going on in their music. Btw, I love Björk and alike music and there are so many samples in this album that resound like that music. Wow! Btw, what urge me to buy the album was because of "Waiting for the end". I watched it in Youtube and I felt that it wasn't enough for me to just play it in Youtube over and over. Of course, there are other songs that affect me like "The Catalyst". I was surprised that the album cover is like being photocopied. I guess the Warner Music Indonesia hologram in the cover is the only prove that I have a real album. I ...
