We Say that It was Sensitive

The time has passed. I don’t know when it actually happened but it had happened. I read an article suggested by my friend. It was about someone who apparently “doubting” the existence of Indonesia, my beloved country. I don’t expect more than his masterpieces at the first time. However, now people considered him for kinda bad. Yes, it was one of my favorite singer, JB who tried to speak about his experiences in my country.

Let’s say that it was nothing but just some “bloopies”. I see now or we could say that talking something about one’s country is really really sensitive for ever. In my opinion, I believe that every single country in this world is more than special. We can see its geography, culture, people, building, education, government, habit, custom, service, health, and many others are very unique. They can vary. We could not simply say or judge that it is not good just because my behalf is not upheld Depends on my standard.  Many aspects should be considered at the very first place to judge something as good or pathetic. Moreover if this matter is related to societies’ behalf, maybe we could consider it more. Even if it is true, that a country belongs to a failed state, we should contribute together to fix it not even exacerbate the condition by saying inappropriate thing. 

Time to relax from the sensitive issues is when you talking this matter with someone you definitely know well. You will get trouble when you say something crazy beside someone who you don’t know at all. Yeah, believe me. LOL

The Brave and Faithful Doyle

Once upon a time, there lived an undisputable gorgeous princess named Dolla The Princess of Komee Kingdom. She was young but really proficient in the skill of war. She acted as deputy of general in the Komee Navy for her appeal to his father, the King of Komee Kingdom. Not to mention that the kingdom had the most famous navy among the British Isle. Thus, it was hard to defeat it. The Kingdom was located in the North Edinburgh, Scotland where it known as ‘the Athens of the North’.

 As the role model, Princess Dolla tried as hard as stone to keep the Komee Navy’s dignity by dedicating her full attention to this matter. She even ignored how to smile when she drilled the troops. One of her troop, named Doyle was one of the brilliant troops in the Komee navy. He had precise and accurate gun shoot. Moreover, the thing that could not be neglected was he had really charming face. Somehow, the Princess Dolla caught his skill at the first sight. They get closer and more since the incident in the last rehearsal when she was exhausted felt unconscious in the ship far from Edinburgh. The one that directly armed her was Doyle. He looked after the Princess until she got healthy. 

Within months their relationship was smelled by the King. As the nature of tradition, it was forbidden for the Princess to have close relation toward the below stage. “You have to end this craziness my princess. Nothing can be counted on this boy” said the King in the gently to his daughter in the castle. “He is not only a boy, he has name, father” insisted the Princess. “He is Doyle and he is more than awesome” said the princess. “Nobody is allowed to break the rule, neither do you” said the King clearly. The King left the Princess alone. 

The other day, Princess Dolla met Doyle in the field and told him what had happened. “I am more than brave to show my faith toward this kingdom as well as my faith to you, Dear” said Doyle. “What will you do then?” asked the Princess soon. “I am going to meet your father and ask you for me” said Doyle without any doubt.

The next day, Doyle met the King in the main castle and stated his intention. “What you have son?” asked the King sarcastically. “You even nobody who solely came from poor farmer family” added the King. “I’m is nothing if compared to my faith to this Kingdom, Your Majesty” said Doyle calmly. I give my dedication to my family, my King and Dolla. I believe I can prove it, My King” added Doyle. “The question that, will you let her to break the tradition which this Kingdom puts it at the top principle? I can’t guarantee your appeal to be recognized if you don’t have that capability you claimed before”, said the King directly. 

“I will do whatever you ask, My Majesty” said Doyle. 

The day of prerequisite came. Doyle was asked to come to the amphitheater where the whole people of the Komee kingdom were able to gather and see what the King ordered. In the edge of the left entrance, there were two huge black boxes. Doyle who came from the opposite entrance was little trembling to see those two square thing provided by the guards of the castle.

“Doyle, just face it! It was what you order right” said the King loudly. “Just point one of those two boxes. Prove that you serve your faith to us. One of them is two little pet of mine, if you can be last for the last a day with those creatures without kill them, you passed” added the King. Hearing that threat the Princess started to be frantic. “The other box is the thing that you like, probably. Whatever you got, you should convince them to be still strong to achieve your goal” said the King lightly.

This was the time. Doyle walked forward close to the boxes and slowly pulled the black carpet covering the left box. Big but sealed since they sleep, two big lions, were there. The cage was opened soon. And now, Doyle was caged with two crazy big lions, in a day.

He definitely would not disturb these lions. The last hours, there still no movement in the amphitheater except the blows of the lions’ snores. Suddenly when the sun dropped, there were movements. The smaller lion woke up. The whole people were frantic. Doyle with such his power thought about the strategy he should do. The lions seemed hungry. Knowing that lion is a greedy creature, Doyle got a trick. “Come here big cat, are you hungry?” said Doyle loudly. The lion seemed annoyed. Without any instruction, the smaller lion run to catch Doyle but he masterly avoiding to the other side, and it crawling the bigger lion. Doyle kept freezing like he gave up. The bigger lion was mad and defeated the little lion simply because the bigger lion did not want to share its dinner. It was more than freaking out. The last minutes, the smaller lion seemed lost and at the same moment the princess run to unlock the entrance and made Doyle could go and free. The people were applauding since they knew that there were no rules broke.

Finally Doyle could marry Princess Dolla. He could prove that his faith and his brave for her led him to not break the rule. They lived happily ever after.

Music Live Show

Last Saturday, I and my friend went down town to watch SCTV music live show called Hip-Hip Hura! at Simpang Lima plaza, Semarang. It was not the first time I saw bands and solo actress performances. I had enjoyed music performances before, but at night, it was different. At first, I thought that watching Hip-Hip Hura! would be wrong to give it a try. I was wrong, however. We both really enjoyed the show. We walked closer to the main stage which was really crowded by the audience. They were singing together with Gigi Band in song titled ‘Sebelas januari”. It was rather hard to move but we finally could get little space to stand. It was not really close to the stage. Far enough I guessed, even to see head of the singer itself. Nevertheless, it was more than great. Then, for the rest two hours, the songs we loved were performed really gorgeous. After a loitering, we went back to the boarding house. It was more than recharging our souls when we enjoy the show. It was new and refreshing, as well.
