A photographer found a child lying on an African soil almost dying. A vulture near the child was watching for her. The photographer took a shot and let his professionalism as a journalist took a part. As a journalist, there should be no intervention. He won the Pulitzer but he lost his humanity. He then died because of his own conscious. There is no way being humanitarian become a blockade for professionalism. It should be the only exception when we should intervere. Keeping a work is keeping integrity, but a compassion is something that keeping conciousness. We have at least two daily profession, one as a worker employed by workplace and one as a human employed by conciousness. Being compassion is also part of being professional.

Happy feasting for my Moslem brother and sister.

Anne-Marie Slaughter (a professor from Princeton U.) said that most women who love her family would done 2/3 of the household and 2/3 of caring children. So, in order to have both career and family, she must be: 1) sleepless; 2) extremely rich; and 3) self-employee. I too thought the the same thing, but in Indonesia might have the extreme thing. One of the parents must forget his/her dream and choose to responsible for the family. Your career would demand you a lot of time, so does the family. In here, most of the women would be the one that yield. Thinking from the biological practice, women has to have carry the baby around for nine months. A year or two her milk needed by the baby. Some take workarounds like breast-feading it from a bottle or using formula milk. I don't agree on both methods for normal circumstance...

Bung Hatta (Mohammad Hatta) once protested Indonesian democracy. He was upset because people blaming democracy for the Konstituante wasn't able to produce anything. It led Bung Karno (Soekarno) to change democracy system. It wasn't because of the democracy, he said, but because leaders of political party haven't understood their positions. They abused the power for their own benefit. The cause of them to exist was forgotten. Fast forward 2012, the condition still hold true. Some people blame this because we, Indonesia, was under long period of time colonization (350 years by the Dutch, 3.5 years by Japan). Little they know, the Indonesians still holds authority at that time. It was the corruption of Indonesia's aristrocrats made us suffered. Well, there is always a time where something will saturate. I think now people already aware that we have a chance to change. That's what we call getting matured. I hope freshmens in government could infuse their naivity. They c...

At Wednesday we were holding an election for DKI Jakarta governor. Through quick count many surveyor was astonished by how they have been wrong. All of them predicted Foke as the winner. Jokowi wins the first round. Funny thing, some of them blame voter that chose not to vote. They said that the people who vote for Foke took vacation at the day -- lame. Some says it because of Megawati and Prabowo influence. I don't know how they surveyed the majority, but Jokowi to be a winner is nothing to be surprised of. Let me tell you the reason: To many Indonesian, especially people who read quality news, Jokowi already proven as one of the 10 best regional leader by Tempo 2008. Ahok was known as the man who lived by his word. He always put his accounting online on his site to show people. On top of that, he was the Bupati (leader) of Bangka Belitung. Many member of Slank vote for Jokowi. The words of Bimbim, the drummer, "I usually don't vote for anyone, but on th...

I was furious when someone took a better picture than me. It was a photo shoot and the original photographer was going somewhere and left the gear. Some of us  was playing with his gear. We were trying to take a picture of us jumping. I took the initiative to be the photographer. The person in question was telling me what to do with the camera. Geez, the person was a Nikon holder and the camera was Canon 550D. I was kinda irritated when a Nikon holder told me about how to use a Canon. I have played with Canon camera a long time. My picture was kind of post-jump. But, when the person redo the process, the person took a better moment. I took my defeat by sit down and rethink, furiously. I was furious because if I was given a second chance to take the picture, I could produced better picture. I mean,  something that made my rage not coming out was this: if we compare the two pictures, my picture had the object locked in the middle while the person's object was too high...

I have watched two of the Elder's React from React Series by Fine Bros. The first episode was about Nyan Cat and the second one is about Dubstep. I love how they react to those things. They teach me how immature I am and try to learn to their wisdom. Being an older person is not a tool to justify your act of bullying someone's preference that different from you. Being older means you have seen adversities of the world. You've seen different things from different point of view. Being older means you have already master the skill to accept differences and encourage them to be true to themselves. Being older means you have the wisdom to think in someone's shoe first. I need to learn these things and learn to respect people more.

What is perfect? Every one of us has a taste of one's own accord. Some people said that lady on the magazine is pretty. OTOH, some don't. Some even don't have a heart to have so. So, isn't it a definition of perfect is when someone that we care most accepts us? How can you'd be accepted if you don't even have a confidence on yourself?
