Kindness

Wake up in front of restaurant, feeling a little dizzy I don’t know what exactly happened the night before Saturday morning, I feel like I’m turning back to be what i used to be Relying anything on the world Breathing the fresh air outside the house Walking and making a brief step on the street without knowing where to go, who to call to, what am I really searching of Well, maybe I know what really searching of, a home Something that i won’t find That makes me riding A nonstop riding and journey I eat with some pennies that left in my pocket All I have are my red backpack with laptop, camera, charger, and water inside it I eat at that restaurant with all money that I have, charge my camera, type something on my laptop, and listen to Lana Del Rey and P!nk over and over again My body drown in the smell of alcohol and cigarette Don’t even remember where they came from A chat, message, and call jazz up my phone That moment where I realized I made a thousand of mistakes th...

She Lied

I lied, I did lied, I truly lied She was a dreamer A stars catcher Insane to get those flower A love hunter But they wont last forever They die, they explode each morning Put those red dress and crimson lipstick by night Put those jeans, sneaker, and white t-shirt by day Walking on the cold street by night Relying to the kindness of stranger To get high on a free charge Walking to school in the morning Relying on what she remember To get a good grade But all she got are a red scratch on her paper She watched people stabbed each other Her uncle, dad, mom, brother, they were stabbed, died? She lost them, or at least that what she knew People used other people to get what they want People used her to get what they want Blood on the street Red They kissed her on night, dumped her by day Let her high and dry, then leave her alone Nobody will truly know her Not her friend from past, her friend in present, nor future She constructed her live perfectly She use...

Dampak MEA Terhadap Kebudayaan Negara-Negara Asean

Manusia tidak pernah lepas dari budaya. Budaya merupakan identitas yang menjadi bagian penting dari individu dan membentuk cara kita mempersepsi sesuatu. Budaya jugalah yang melahirkan aturan dalam tata cara interaksi antar-manusia, baik secara implisit maupun eksplisit. Kita dapat mengenali diri kita dan menemukan jati diri dengan mengenali budaya kita sendiri terlebih dahulu. Budaya memiliki kaitan yang erat dengan komunikasi. Bahkan, Edward T. Hall mengatakan, communication is culture, and culture is communication. Tanpa sadar, kita tidak pernah lepas dari budaya selama berkomunikasi atau berinteraksi dengan manusia lain. Di satu sisi, perbedaan budaya memang menjadi keunikan, tapi di sisi lain, perbedaan jugalah yang melahirkan ethnosentric, stereotip, dan kesalahan-pahaman atau perbedaan makna dalam berkomunikasi. Kesalahan-kesalahan komunikasi yang didasari perbedaan kebudayaan merupakan hal yang lazim terjadi baik dalam lingkup kecil, maupun besar. Kita juga dapat menghin...

Am I Insane?

What it means to be insane? If it means you can talk whatever crossed in your mind without making anyone punch you, then I want to be insane. If it means you have a completely freedom and legit to do whatever you want, then I want to be insane. If it means you can sing, dance, or cry out loud in the middle of the night without giving a damn about the other thinks, then I am insane. If it means I can eat, sleep, and do anything without making my own money, then I am insane. I get a little confused with the real defination of being insane. Some people said that insane a is kind of people who biuld and live in their own world. Perhaps they are talking about schizophrenia, psychopath, or the one who have alterego, yeah they have they own world, but don't you all have build your own world too? Having a day dream in the middle of the class, imagining you were hugged by your lover, imagining you were the most populer girl on your world, imagining that you'll be a rich, hot, sex...

Black and White

I hate to say that.... I used to think that I was white. All the neighbor said that to me. They were black. All of them, but me. I wasn't a part of them. At that moment, all I want was to meet my white friends, the place where they said I belong to. Years later, finally, I came to a home of white. A place where at least I could feel that I belong to. But I was worng. They said I was black. I neither a part of them. I was so fucking confused. I tried to find home, the place where I belong to.  Then I asked to God, was I white or black? He said that I was born to be both, black and white. But why they saw me in only one side? The different side? Because people tend to see something in you that is different from them.  Then I simply grew up without a home because I belong to both, that simply I belong to nothing. I would never be a whole black, neither white.  Every day I had a fight against the mirror. She's so fucking stupid. Messy hair, lousy same dirty t...

Mereka Adalah Aku

Rekonstruksi Realitas Dalam The Truman Show

     The Truman Show merupakan film yang mencerikatan tentang bagaimana seorang lelaki, Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey), yang sebenarnya lahir, dan tumbuh dalam pertunjukan televisi. Pada akhir filmnya, Truman berusaha untuk mengetahui batas “panggung” pertunjukannnya, dan keluar dari pertunjukan televisi tersebut. Pengambilan sudut pandang kamera dalam film ini juga menggunakan sudut pandang kamera tersembunyi. Sepanjang film juga ditayangkan iklan (beer, coklat) untuk memperjelas posisinya sebagai pertunjukan televisi komersial.   The Truman Show secara tersirat juga menggambarkan bagaimana realitas yang ada di sekeliling kita, sejak kita lahir hingga tumbuh dewasa, merupakan hasil konstruksi yang dibuat oleh orang-orang di sekitar kita. Kita memercayai sesuatu ketika banyak orang yang juga percaya akan hal itu. Seperti yang dikatakan Christof, “we accept the reality of the world with whick we’re presented. It’s as simple as that” [ Scene ketika Cristof menjelaskan Mika, mengapa Truman...
