Tragedy

If we never get unified then how can we be strong??? that was just a simple thought when I was in elementary school learning about Indonesian history. at that time my teacher gave me this analogy to make us understand how important it is to be unified..she said 'as one palm leaf rib can never move any trash if it is not bonded into a broom so we-Indonesian couldn't fight against colonialism if we are not unified." and I still even always agree for this statement. :)

my country consists of so many islands with various cultures and religions. some people think those variety make us rich yet still other racist and fanatic think of it as a big problem.

Today, something has just happened here in my beloved nation. It is quite embarrassing till I ever thought of being reborn in other country..
After experiencing peace for some years this nation comes back to its stupid--very stupid--action. for the very stupid reason they fight for culture and religion. yeah... the tragedy of Ambon, Maluku seems to heat up..
My sister suddenly texted me that her senior in University "Jefry Siahaan" died because he got a random shot when the chaos in Ambon occured. It was grieving since this man has been doing his duty as a teacher there in Ambon while his family lives in Sumatra. I can never imagine how it feels to be his mom, when his son who lives far away from him comes back home dead..

I know none knows when death comes but if we may prefer, we all want to die in peace, not as the victim of a stupid chaos. the very crazy thing that doesn't ever make sense is that the reason they fight is for 'defending their god'. isn't that funny? how can we defend God??!! if each religion wants to defend their God then whom shall God defend? when everyone thinks s/he is the right one then who is wrong?
when every difference becomes one

Sometimes this idea runs across my mind; why did God not let those racists and fanatics live in colonialism era? it would be better if they lived at that age coz they would directly experience how IMPORTANT the UNITY is...

I wish it would be like that but it's not.. unfortunately they are still alive today when every one in every where shouts loudly for peace and unity..
I wish they could understand, or even think of it for a while that all the efforts are useless..

and here I am, still praying for the unity in my country and also for the peace as I believe where there's a peace there God pours down His blessing as Psalm 133 says:
Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brothers to dwell together in unity!
[It is] like the precious ointment on the head that ran down on the beard, Aaron's beard, that went down to the mouth of his garments;
 like the dew of Hermon that came down on the mountains of Zion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing, life forevermore.
Let peace and healing be upon Indonesia !!!
 Amen

If "Hot Blooded Woman" was made into a Drama"

"Hot Blooded Woman" Well, I just finished reading a manhwa (Korean manga) that has really stolen all my attention. i ever read it some years ago when i just entered university. Recently i have been curious again with this manhwa so i decided to download it. this manhwa is very amusing.. i bet ypu will laugh loudly like a crazy one and forget all the pain when you read this story.. so just try! After reading, a crazy idea came to my mind; what if this manhwa was made into a drama, who would star it? so, here is my own consideration who is more suitable to play the characters of "Hot blooded woman"; 1. the main character Park Sin Uoo would be very perfect for Lee Min Hoo. i ever thought of Kim Hyun Joong but later i made up my mind as Kim Hyun Joong would be better playing as an angel.. yup, he's not suitable for being Sin Uoo.. :)   2. Kang Ha Ji would be suitable for Moon Geun Young. I felt kinda difficult to find a korean actress for Ha Ji as this gi

When God says 'Not Yet' (again)

 Surrender.. this is the only word that best describes my feeling today. The disappointment might have taken place yesterday but today God has turned it into surrender. I got a new email yesterday from the New Zealand embassy telling me that my scholarship application was not accepted yet. Here's the mail... Dear Haniva, Thank you for your recent application for a scholarship and interest in undertaking post-graduate studies in New Zealand. Although the number of scholarship places for Indonesia has increased, so have the number of applications, and it was challenging for us to have to select only a limited number of these from many often strong applications. In making the selection and shortlisting potential candidates for the scholarship, we had to ensure that a number of criteria which have been set by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) were fully met.  Unfortunately, there were many applications, including yours, that did not fu

Easter (7 words on the cross)

Today the Christians all over the world celebrate the most important day of our faith story ever after. Why i say it’s the most important  day? Coz i cannot imagine if Christ did not substitute me and you, we can surely know where we’re going today.. “ETERNAL DEATH” i can say it for sure... Praise God MY LORD did it for me, for you and all of us not when we know HIM yet when we were in the darkness..when we were still captivated by this world, HE came and sacrificed HIS LIFE just to set me and you free. So, in this remarkable day i wanna share a little bit what i’ve learnt during the 7 weeks of passion until today. The great lessons i learn are from the 7 words of Jesus on the cross and the greatest redemption He did on the cross. The seven words on the cross I would never ever imagine if i were in Christ position, hanging on the cross, tortured, got mocked by the rulers, what would be the best words i say if i were hanging on the cross? I know for sure, cursing... however The BIB
