I sometimes have a hard time when looking to friends who know and have power to do something but only watch. I often asked this my heart, "why would you let blood spilled when you could stop them from fooling themselves?" "Why you only watch them, the buzzers, flaunting all the money they got from political play?" "Why won't you stop them?" Now, I am in the similar position. And I realize why they just watch these all as if it was only a show. Again, I need to suck my own words back. === Had a case against an ISP that tampering our DNS requests because of a Ministry that trying to apply censorship nation wide. They want to install that censorship to our institution which actually by the law should be prohibited. I was angered because of that. That ministry such a cowardice using that ISP and not going after our institution which was an ISP in itself. May be because in the past they had pushed their agenda directly and failed. And now...

We say something about what government do would hinder privacy and people would often put their finger to us. They would ignore the issue completely. Their standard argument, "if we are a good citizen, we should not be afraid." Well, we should! When Government do surveillance program, there is no counter nor audit. The program usually in secrecy and it's not under any provision. We would never know when something in the system go rogue until it's too late. Who in charge of the system? When a party with agenda got her hand on it, how can we know when it is used against the constitution? When Government do censorship, on what basic ground would the Government screens? What is the mechanism of appealing? Can people take an appeal without having public shaming? Vimeo still get blocked in Indonesia.

That 3rd Person in the background of history. Harvey Dent from the Nolan's Batman trilogy said, "...you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." But, a third hero in 1968 Mexico Olympic made a statement that there was a third option: "or, becomes a forgotten hero."   It's not a compelling option for our ego. But, religions like Christianity offer martyrdom for such cause. There is a "greater than life" purpose. To spread Good News (Gospel) and freedom. Peter Norman is one of the model for what a Christian should gives. Salute!

Why did the Australian IOC deny that Peter Norman was excluded from the 1972 Olympics for supporting racial equality?

A coworker singing a song about having a crush to his best friend's girl, Glenn Fredly feat. Yura, "cinta dan rahasia" over and over again. He sung the song over and over. I wasn't even know the song and by the end of the night, I knew the harmonizations. At first I wanted to stop him. But, his performance is becoming weird in our workplace. May be this song was related on his condition, so I restrained myself to have him stop singing the song. I still respect his privacy so I didn't dig deeper. Another friend of mine also have a long chat with me because he accidentally transfer a Raichu from his deck. In his desperation, he said would sold his account and stopped playing Pokémon GO. Long story short, because he was team Valor, I told him that I was team Mystic. He could started again and next time chose with Mystic. I also suggested that we should went to conquer gyms together. Well, it's kinda hard to play solo. I could conquer a level 5 gym alone....

PGI, Persekutuan Gereja-gereja di Indonesia, Communion of Churches in Indonesia, made a Pastoral statement about LGBT. In its statement, PGI recommended all Indonesian churches to accept LGBT as normal people. Families should embrace their family members that was LGBT. It recommended churches to accept people that came out. It also recommended to put LGBT away from being label as a sickness. Then, at last, it recommended LGBT as a part of Christian faith. What a bold move! There were many people voice their objections. Mangapul Sagala claimed that the leader of PGI had a moral deviation. He also assumed that was why they move the Grand Meeting sooner. DR. Andik made an open statement against that Pastoral message. What about me? There is a part of me calling for political correctness. To accept them as a member of family or society is a must. I also have gay friends and they are normal to me. But, when in church, that's where a line should be drawn. Romans 1:24-27 exp...

WARNING: This writing is the reflection of my knowledge and perception. It will absolutely contains my opinion. Some subjects may be uncomfortable for you to read as this writing explains things from many expert views which may not conform to your faith. You may disagree, but this is my honest opinion of what I've known so far.   Some people think "kumbayah" was a word lend from Africa. That's why there are people who would think twice to sing "Kumbayah, My Lord". They suspect "Kumbayah" is a name for an unknown African Idol. They don't want to call their God a name registered for other deity. As a Christian, I too asked myself, "what is the proper name of our God?" Christianity which derived from Judaism borrows many names for calling God. And from the Old Testament, we also know that even the Israelites call God with different name. Some name like Elohim was a name borrowed from a word of Canaanites for the Supr...

At the first watching BvS, I kinda knew that I would get disappointed. Three books of Doomsday was butchered into that abomination. There was something that made Doomsday a special villain, you know! I've played the video game, read the books and peek into the comics at the bookstore. And then, I watched BvS and everything cool from Doomsday dumped into the trash. Oh, well, at least I'm not like those poor people who invested their lives into Star Wars Extended Universe. My brother asked me to buy a ticket for a second watch. He haven't watched the BvS. With my sister pregnant, he couldn't have a time. He was a fan of Batman. So, I dragged myself to watch BvS. This time I let any knowledge go and went with a mind of what kind of superhero was this movie. [SPOILER STARTS HERE] After the last scene when Batman sought after Lex Luthor Jr., he punched the wall. A dialog by Lex Luthor Jr. made Batman stopped his rage. Why? Lex Luthor Jr. was telling Batman about t...
