A Little Conversation with Mom

hi guys. I wanna share my experience again :D

I've had a conversation with my mom. Well, it was almost 2weeks ago, it was just a little conversation every dinner, we usually talk about all the stuff, from food, weather, airport to religion and politic. And the one that we had was about economy.

We were talking about electricity, and then i'm getting surprised when i heard that they have to pay for about 300 to 500 bucks every month, just for the electricity! Oh gosh, in my country, we just have to pay about 10-40 bucks (depends on how we use it) and we still getting mad if the electricity company increase the tariff! (well, remembering how many blackout that we had every month....) and i've just realized that is because PRIVATE COMPANY regulate it. Wow. Sounds really different from the system in my country. I think most government in all over country in the world always regulate and take control all the stuff that related to all citizens' need (such as electricity, gas, water, etc.) well i'm sounds katro and not update, but i mean, i just realize that the government in here really don't interfere much in all those things. Well, mom said the government still manage the rules and the regulations about those company and (maybe) a little about the rates, but they don't control it in the whole thing. Soooo, i'm just wondering, they must be really wealthy, because of those authority that they had to adjust the rates, rite? Well, economic law and competition still affect it, but if they are a big company and could monopoly it, must be easy for them to set the rates as what they want. Hmmm...

And then i asked my mom, sooo with all the high bill that they have to pay for every month, how usa can be a world power? And i've just got the answer, maybe those big company make usa as a strong economic country. And the stronger the company, the more they can be a world power and the more they can influence other country affairs. Hmm. The socialist system that my country have, probably the reason why it takes a long time for us to develop, with all the problem such as poverty, unemployment, education and bla bla bla that we have.

Well, that's for now. Once again, that's just one of my thought and my idea. Don't take it personally fellas! ;)

see ya in the next posting :D

KARTINI: What is with kebaya and cooking competition?

For many Indonesian women who grew up during the regime of Second Indonesian President, Suharto, being a girl on Kartini Day means “ kebaya-an ” (wearing a traditional Javanese blouse dress) or dressing up in traditional costume, while some older women participated in cooking, flower arrangement, and make up competition. This celebration was meant to commemorate Kartini’s effort on women empowerment during Dutch colonial day. From the Old Order regime (Sukarno era) up until now, Kartini is hailed as a national symbol and pioneer of women emancipation in Indonesia. Being born 137 years ago on April 21 1879, Kartini was part of a Javanese aristocrat and the 5 th daughter of 11 of Raden Mas Adipati Ario Sosroningrat, while her mother was her father’s secondary wife. Her father was the Regent of Jepara and one of 80 such native regents who held office through the Dutch colonial system, thus her family was considered to have a high social status among the natives. She got a chance to ...

Hai! Akhirnya saya memutuskan nge-blog lagi nih. Terlepas dari ada tugas kelas tentunya. Well, hari ini ulang tahun saya. Yep, saya berkepala dua, di saat mayoritas teman-teman angkatan saya masih satu tahun lebih muda dari saya. Semakin lama, semakin terbiasa. Toh umur tidak mutlak menggambarkan kedewasaan dan pengalaman seseorang kan? Mungkin juga sebagai bahan saya untuk berkaca pada diri sendiri. Hari ini saya lalui seperti biasa, bermalas-malas di kosan, tidur-tiduran, bahkan untuk makan pun saya minta delivery (dan ini udah ketiga kalinya dlm minggu ini *sigh*). Keluarga saya masih otw bandung saat saya mengetik postingan ini. Saya kira hari ini akan berlalu biasa saja, tapi tidak ternyata. Saat membereskan tumpukan pakaian bersih untuk dimasukkan ke lemari, saya baru tersadar kalau ternyata ada sesuatu di balik lipatan jaket saya. Kalo ngga salah itu tumpukan baju bersih kemarin, tapi saya belum rapihkan karena saya malas hehe. Singkat cerita, ternyata ada bingkisan kado ...
