1. Indonesian Government
I have doubts and resentments to Indonesian Government in handling my beloved country problems, but there's always hope when the leader not afraid of changes that lead to progress, like what Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ft. Mary Lambert said in their 'Same Love' song lyrics : " Press Play, Don't Press Pause. Progress March on ... " (It was a great song with a lot of good messages).
Dear Government of Indonesia, please don't put the veil over your eyes and don't turn your back on the cause.
Please do what's right for your peoples especially on cases that make them suffered the most like corruptions and drugs dealer, you must NOT punish the corruptors with light punishment. 2 years of imprisonment won't make them scared? They'll do it again and again in a heartbeat with all the money that they stole that can feed their next of kin until 7 generations.
Imagine what that money can do if there is no corruptions, it can help people's health care problems, national sanitation, put roofs and better building for children schools, replace rotten bridges that connect villages in rural areas all over the country, prvide foods for underprivileged peoples, strengthen our military equiptments so the peoples can feel safer and so on.
Strip all the corruptors to bare, take back all the money that they stole, fined them with multiple sums of what they had stole, make them suffered as they suffered the peoples. let them root in jail so their minions won't dare to make the same mistakes like them.
2. Movies
Movie is one of my favorite thing for passing times beside reading, writing, and music including hang out with my friends. There were two movies that stuck out for me last year (2015), Jurassic World and and Fast and Furious 7.
* Jurassic World
I promised to take my two adopted nephews to watched Jurassic World, so when that movies hit the nearest theaters, I took them along with my Mom because it almost impossible for me to manage two kids under six years old alone. I love Dinosaurs since I was a kid and sometimes I daydreamed stumbled upon Dinosaurs eggs and had a wild imagination and thought it will be cool if we can live side by side with them (I know it was stupid and crazy ^_^).
So, when Steven Spielberg made Jurassic Park movie, I feel like my dream came true and I feel ecstatic about it. I never miss out that franchise movie. I still feel the same ; I don't find it odds for me to enjoyed movie about pre historic creatures that chasing after and chewing peoples while their go, funnily I feel more excited than the nephews and my Mom when we were watching Jurassic World.
But I was so annoyed with the female lead actress shoes, I know there were many things that impossible in Jurassic World but those high heels that she wore really hit my nerve the most. What kind of female who can run in skirts and pointy high heels through muddy jungle while chased by big bad Dinosaurs along the movie? Heck, I even can't stand properly in an hour on heels, how she managed to did that is still a mystery to me.
* Fast and Furious 7
Second movie that I anticipated the most last year beside Jurassic World was Fast and Furious 7. Honestly I hate franchchise movie like that (with the exception of Dinosaurs franchise of course ^_^ and also The Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, and Bourne Ultimatum, that best franchise movie ever made to me, except maybe Die Hard, the old and new one too).
Anyway, I enjoyed The Fast and the Furious and their second one was not bad, but the third one was the turn off, until they can back on their track and the real lead actors and actresses reprised their role. Fast 6 is what I like the most before Fast 7, because there is an Indonesian actor who plays The Raid, Joe Taslim and Fast 6 had a superb story.
The Fast and Furious 7 became more phenomenal because one of the actors, Paul Walker was dead in the tragic car accident in November 2013 (Late Paul Walker was truthful and likeable actor, may he rest in peace).
At the time of his dead, Walker had been filming, which was slated for release in July 2014. That's why I along with millions fan of Fast franchise movie curious and anticipated the movie, how the movie will be completed and how will Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) character ended in Fast 7.
I loved how they completed the film by using his brothers Caleb and Cody as his body doubles / stand-ins plus CGI (I barelly noticed the difference, so thums up Fast Crews). I loved how they gave Brian O'Conner character a happy ending in Fast and Furious 7. I was glad and relieved with the ending of the movie ; they gave Paul Walker a decent farewell and the soundtrack of the movie "See You Again"from Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Putt was superb and blend perfectly with the movie, the song was touching tribute to the late Paul Walker.
3. Terrorism
I hate terrorism in all kind of form, detest it and wish and pray that all kind of terrorism to be vanish and destroy from every surface of the earth. Please dear God help us to stop them and banish them all, amen.
Terrorists put terrors with bombs, guns, and other ugliest dirtiest tricks in every corner of the World, from around Middle East, Asia to Paris, Jakarta and several days ago, explosion kills at least 28 in Ankara, Turkey. Killing peoples like flies, do their lives doesn't matters to you ata all? You can NOT making Flies and Ants out of nothing, how dare you playing God by killing innocent peoples. How can you replaceall the lost lives? every life is precious and NOT yours to take! Imagine the lost life as your parents, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters or your other beloved relatives and dear friends, you do have a heart right? How would you feel? (Oh I forgot, you already eat it the half of eat and the other half, you feed it to the dogs, so you feel nothing).
If you do have a heart (Big Fat If for you) or a brain cell even if it a tiny scrap, please... please... please... STOP every cruel, inhuman and horrendous action that you do. Have mercy of human life, even without your killing, human life already fragile, accidents, earthquakes, floods, typhons, diseases, etc. All of the above can take a human life in a heartbeat.
During Jakarta attack, in January 2016, gave me and my family the fright because the building the terrorists attacked was my sister office and before the third bomb blast, she called my Mom and cried for help and said there were bomb everywhere and when she tried to escaped with her colleagues, there was one terrorist with a backpacked and an arm gun machine in hand ready to shoot. Thank God my sister and her colleagues are fine but at that time it gave us panic attacked. Like I said cruel to the bone is what the terrorists do, let's fights them back and stand up against them. Terrorists #KamiTidakTakut (We are Not Afraid), we fights you back until you can NOT even roll in your grave and DON'T dream of Heaven,because there is NO PLACE for peoples like you in Heaven.
DON'T claimed to be a Muslims while you do your hellish actions, because no Muslims will do such things, the things that so far away from Muslims peaceful ways of life, you rapes, stole, kills,and other crimes and you call that Jihad proudly and you wish to be put in heaven after you died? WAKE UP and learn about Islam properly, read the holy Qur'an 100 times to understand the real meaning. If God not put you first in HELL for eternity please read and learn about Jihad correctly (Oh I forgot, every terrorists who claimed to be Muslims are all illiterate, that's why all you do is the opposite of Muslims way of life!).
I am a Moslem and there is NO Way I will do what those bastards do, no Muslims in their right mind would do things that contrary to what they believe in. Unless if we losing our sanity and you put chip in our brains to do that horrible things (Please God take my life before that happen and before I hurt other, amen).
* JIHAD
Every horrendous action committed by terrorist groups such Al-Qaeda / I.S.I.S led to a large misconception about the Islamic concept of Jihad. Instead of being associated with the virtues of patience, effort and inner strength, Jihad is being associated by acts of violence against non-Muslims or a holy war.
The deeper meaning of Jihad, however is the opposite. The highest form of Jihad is NOT a literal war of guns and violence; it is actually an internal struggle, a war against your desires. Let's save the detail for some other time, but the truth is, Jihad is NOT about picking up a sword or gun or killing people who do not believe in the same thing you do.
Rather, Jihad is about fighting against yourself and your own desires, it is choosing what is best for you (no matter how hard or undesireable it can be in the moment) over what you want. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once said that the most difficult Jihad is fasting. Fasting is not only about abstaining from food or water; however, it is also abstaining from bad habits. So, what those terrorist do in the name of Jihad is against the essential of Jihad itself. Be Cool, DON'T be Cruel terrorists! Stop making the real Muslims suffered with other believer who put prejudice to all Muslims because of your selfish and disgusting acts by killing innocent people. STOP TERRORISM! Let's unite agaisnt TERRORISM!
Well, I guess that's the wrapped for my first post, after a year and a half hiatus. That some of my bottle up feeling. I hope it's as refreshing as it's useful. I encouraged you to leave your comments below. May peace be upon all of us, amen.
