your argument is invalid

Today, I decided to write about most annoying people in the world. Drum roll please! Yes, it’s about fanatic people. First and foremost, who are they? Fanatics are people that’re obsessed with something (political party/band/football club/etc...) and would not accept any critics from others. As Election Day is getting nearer, all these political party fanatics appear everywhere on the internet and real life. It makes me sick. They post and share everything that makes me want to ultimate facepalm myself. I don’t get this kind of people. I mean I’m fanatic too. I’m fanatic to Paramore band and the Barcelona football club. But if people want to criticize them and their point is true, I will accept it. Indeed, I will join them criticize as a joke too. There was a time where I criticized Barcelona team because it was true, but then one of fanatic came to me and said I don’t deserve to be the biggest fan and how he wished to kick me out of the fan club. It was funny and joke of the day, I guess. What I did was I just ignore this type of people because I don’t argue with people that are not worth to have an argument with. If being a fanatic means I have to become ignorance like this guy too, I rather be a normal fan then. 

All I ever wanted

Yesterday, I got an email from my sv regarding conference that I want to go. It was not a good news since apparently my school didn't have any budget to pay for that unless I change my presentation from poster to oral. I choose to do a poster presentation in the first place because I was scared to do an oral presentation. My first oral presentation at colloquium in 2011 was a nightmare. I was blur for the first 3 minutes and I was so embarrassed with myself. But this is life, right? Sometimes we have to face our own fear and sometimes we can't get everything that we want no matter how much money we have or how rich we are. If we could get everything that we want, then this life must be perfect. But the truth is there’s no such thing as perfect. No perfect life, no perfect relationship, no perfect match. Even a perfect guy that is charming, intelligent, smart, know how to play guitar, kind, religious, good looking and loving is existing, he probably never be yours. So, in order to avoid from frustration or disappointment, maybe the good thing is not to have higher expectation and learn to accept everything that you have and you got than thinking about not getting something that you want.

big girls don’t wait

Some of fairy tale stories told us that princess always waits for the prince to save her. Rapunzel waited for the prince to save her on the tower, Cinderella waited for the shoes to fit in her foot, Snow White waited for the prince to give her true love kiss that can save her from the curse, and Princess Aurora waited for the prince to save her from long sleep. Even in the ancient years, our late grandma just waited for the wedding proposal and there’s almost no such thing in finding their own love story. But we’re not living in those ages anymore or in the fairy tale books. In this modern year, women become more independent. Some of us have stop waiting for the prince to save us because we can save ourselves.

I don’t want to be saved by a knight or prince. I can slay the dragon by myself. If there is any fairy tale that I want to take as a good example, it will be Beauty & the Beast or Mulan. I always adore Belle. Belle’s not a princess and she did not wait for the prince to save her. Instead, she’s the one that saves the prince. I want to be like her; independent, smart, beautiful and she did not care about her partner’s look or how much money that he has. If the beast is not a prince, I bet she’s still going to fall in love with him because of his personality and his brain. But I don’t want to change a beast into a prince or kiss every frog and hope it will turn into a prince charming. On top of that, I don’t want to be saved too since I’m not a princess. I want a true love story but I’m not going to wait for it to be happened. I believe that we must find and create our own fairy tales and happy ending in our own way. 

I don’t want to live in this country anymore…

I know people keep talking about politics everywhere, all the time since only a week left before the election. I try not to post about it but for this time, I can’t help it. I just heard the advertisement that people talked about on Twitter. Yup. It sucks! I mean there’s nothing wrong if you want to do your campaign anywhere through any medium. But now, for my opinion, bn really had crossed the line this time. I feel like I’m living in a country where only one party is the best among the rest and should rule the country because they had done that since forever. First, they bought all the media, such as Buletin Utama, Utusan (should I list all of them?) and now radio station too? It is ok if the advertisement just about a promotion on the party without insulting others. Like seriously, people heard them enough at 8 pm news every day! Oh, come on! Give me a break will ya? I have stop reading newspaper and watching news on tv. I don’t want to stop listening to the radio too.

If they really confident that people going to vote for them, why try too hard? Honestly, all these efforts make people hate them more. (That’s including me too, I guess). Why they need to show too much effort that makes them look desperate and wasting too much money on the advertisement that will get negative feedback? Seriously, I thought that they’re better than this. I love this country, I really do. Just please stop ruining every media in this country by buying them with people’s money. 

**Inbefore, if you don't like the system, get out from this country!

Save as environment file? [yes] [no] [don’t care]

Every day, I wake up look at the same view through the window from my 17^th floor room. It was the same view, till today I realize something had changed. At first I thought that it’s always like that, but then it’s getting obvious. “What had happened to that hill?” Yup. Some irresponsible people cut down the trees and want to clear every tree on that hill. I have no idea what they want to build up there. But whatever it will be, people that handle the project must be fucking crazy. Like seriously, what’s worse than build something up on the hill? Looks like some people just don’t care about others life and didn’t learn from the Highland Towers tragedy. There are bad consequences than good. And yet, they’re still wondering how bad flood occurs every time there’s heavy rain in here.  

It’s just as same case as the undersea tunnel. Even it’s still has no confirmation yet, but that project will ruin the marine ecosystem. Ironically, the city I live now that plan all this project really has a good campaign on go green, bring your own plastic bag, don’t support polystyrene usage, and lots more. As usual, this project will help people and as usual also people only think about them without consider about the environment. We, humans will always be that selfish creature. Do we still care about the environment? Ask yourself. But if we do, what can we do besides protest and writing an entry on blog about this? The amount of deforestation increase every year and the bad news is our country deforesting trees 3 times faster than the rest of Asia country. That’s something not to proud of as a citizen. It does not matter which party contributes to the deforestation. The only matter is we need to stop this thing before there are no trees left to save.

Hey, it's Monday again! So, Monday Blues anyone? Actually it's unfair to put the blame on the day. Maybe it's not the day, it's all about yourself. Like me, I don't know why but I always mad with everything this lately. Even the smallest thing. I guess that's why I don't write much and update this blog everyday like I always do. It's not good to feel this way but I can't help it. And since I don't know what to write in here, I just want to share this part from the manga that I read.   

Yup, I read love manga too. So what? haha. Here's the link if you want to read full manga the link (but I've to warn you, this manga update take forever)

Girlcott, no?

It’s mid April 2013 and people still share on FB and tweet about boycott. It is a famous share and tweet especially when USA or Israel attacks Muslim country. Like this thing can help stop the war and bring peace to the world. Products that are on top of the list, of course McD and Starbucks. If you notice, McD had changed their advertisement on television which contains a hidden message that they want to deliver. Sadly, not all of us are smart enough to think what they want to say. There are some of my friends on FB post their status regarding this and said they did not understand what the advertisement is all about. I hope they will grow some brain later. I’m not saying I’m really smart but that advertisement is not a mathematical formula or even rocket science experiment. It's just a critical thinking that if you open your eyes wide enough, you can clearly see what is the message behind the story. It is a message for people that boycott their product, you guys. Obviously they said that they had offered a lot of job opportunities for people in our country. That will reduce the percentage of unemployment and help economics in our country in case you still don’t know or never care to learn basic economy. 

Also, if you ever heard both of them and most of the products that you’re boycotting are franchises that open in our country. So, basically don’t blame the products. Instead, blame the people that open the franchise in our country. But on the second thought, who is going to eat at MarryBrown instead of McD? That’s my point exactly. If our country is like Japan or South Korea that have lots of own products and our people support our own products, we don’t even need to boycott at first place. Maybe it is the time for us to be creative and beat those international products, so that we don’t have to depend on them? (yeah, that's a question) And after all, do you still think boycotting is a good idea? 

**In before, don’t just share if you don’t know what it means. fyi, you will not go to heaven just because you share a lot of things on the internet.
