Roadshow Indonesia Mengajar oleh Anies Baswedan di UMY

Hari Selasa lalu, tanggal 8 Mei 2012, Anies Baswedan, pendiri yayasan Indonesia Mengajar mengadakan roadshow di kampus tercinta kita, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta pada pukul 13.00 bertempat di gedung Fachrudin B lantai 5.

Sejujurnya, saya iseng mengikuti seminar Indonesia Mengajar karena diajak oleh teman. Alasan klasik saya kala itu adalah bolos mata kuliah (biasa) dan ingin mendapatkan sertifikat plus snack :D. Sejujurnya juga, itu adalah pertama kalinya saya mengikuti seminar sepanjan hampir satu tahu saya kuliah di kampus ini. Bukan karena malas, akan tetapi karena saya tidak mempunyai waktu luang yang banyak lagi selain kuliah sembari bekerja part time.

Lumayanlah, mendapatkan sebuah buku catatan kecil, pulpen, dan snack. Begitu memasuki ruangan yang sudah cukup padat, akhirnya, saya dan 4 orang teman saya mendapatkan tempat duduk di paling belakang. Mengecewakan memang, karena harapan saya, saya bisa mendapatkan tempat duduk di yang terdepan, saking antusiasnya saya mengikuti seminar tersebut yang kebetulan sesuai dengan subject yang saya ambil sekarang ini, Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, (calon guru nih, amin :p)

Seperti biasa, Indonesia, segala sesuatu kegiatan, pasti ngaret dan tidak on-time dari waktu yang sudah dijadwal. Entah karena si narasumber begitu sibuk, masalah transportasi, atau narasumber memang suka ngaret (rasanya tidak mungkin ya). Untungnya, ada penyanyi cantik dan ganteng yang saya perkirakan, mereka juga mahasiswa UMY. Sayangnya saya lupa lagu apa yang mereka nyanyikan :s *pikunan*

Kira-kira jam 2-an pak Anies datang. Tidak lupa, sebelum acara dimulai, beberapa pembukaan dari ketua panitia, ketua BEM, perwakilan rektor UMY, dan segala sambutan-sambutan tetek bengek lainnya. Kemudian acara pembukaan juga dimulai dengan menyanyikan lagu Indonesia Raya bersama-sama. Sejujurnya, sudah hampir 3 tahun saya tidak menyanyikan lagu tersebut, terakhir kali ketika saya duduk di SMA dan saya lulus SMA tahun 2009. Ada perasaan 'rindu' di dalam relung hati saya akan lagu ini, apalagi ditambah dengan setting dan suasana seminar dalam rangka mencerdaskan bangsa seperti ini. Rasanya, rasa nasionalisme saya semakin bertambah :')

Kemudian, pak Anies Baswedan membuka seminar. Beliau menjelaskan beberapa masalah pendidikan di Indonesia.

Kartini dan Emansipasi Wanita

Sejauh yang saya tahu, Kartini adalah seorang pahlawan emansipasi wanita di Indonesia. Kisah perjuangan hidupnya pada akhirnya menjadi tonggak lahirnya era emansipasi wanita seperti sekarang ini. Wanita dapat bersekolah, mengenyam pendidikan setinggi-tingginya, bekerja, berkarier di luar rumah, bahkan menjadi pemimpin negara tercinta ini.



Akan tetapi, bagaimana sih sejarah beliau, bagaimana dan upaya apa saja yang beliau lakukan untuk negeri ini? Mengapa dan apa alasan beliau bersikeras bahwa kedudukan wanita dan pria patut untuk disejajarkan? Rasanya terlalu banyak pertanyaan di dalam kepala saya, sehingga menggugah saya untuk segera browsing semua tentang Kartini. Hmmmm so amazing stories, isn't it? Sosok perempuan yang sukses membuat saya sangat envy dan ingin menjadi seperti beliau.

Oke singkat cerita (kalau mau tahu yang lebih panjang, silahkan cek di wikipedia)

Kartini adalah seorang anak priyayi, keturunan bangsawan jawa, putri dari Bupati Jepara. Kartini adalah seorang anak dari keluarga broken home karena ayahnya berpoligami. Kala itu Kartini bisa mengenyam pendidikan hingga umur 12 tahun, karena menurut adatnya, seorang gadis di usia 12 tahun sudah bisa dipingit dan tidak diperbolehkan keluar/beraktifitas di luar rumah.Kartini sangat mahir dalam berbahasa Belanda dan ia mempunyai seorang sahabat pena yang merupakan orang Belanda, yaitu Rosa Abendanon. Kartini banyak membaca buku-buku, majalah, dan koran-koran berbahasa Belanda yang membuka matanya akan dunia yang luas, terutama dunia Eropa.

Kartini begitu kagum akan pemikiran-pemikiran maju para wanita eropa dan hatinya tergugah untuk memajukan kehidupan perempuan pribumi khususnya wanita jawa yang berada pada status sosial yang begitu rendah. Kartini banyak berkirim surat kepada sahabat penanya, mengungkapkan kegelisahan dan kegundahan hatinya akan kekangan-kekangan adat istiadat jawa yang begitu membatasi ruang gerak wanita. Karena, kala itu tugas wanita hanyalah sebagai ibu, mengurus anak dan dapur. Selain itu, takdir wanita jawa hanyalah dipingit, dijodohkan oleh orang tua, dan harus bersedia dimadu, tidak bisa berkarya, berpendapat, bahkan belajar dan tidak boleh lebih pintar dari suaminya. Dia juga mengungkapkan ketidaksetujuannya dengan poligami, dengan adat jawa yang menjadikan hukum Islam tentang poligami sebagai senjata kuat untuk beristri semaunya. Dari beberapa surat-suratnya yang dikirimkan kepada majalah wanita Belanda,De Hollandsche Lelie, dia banyak menaruh perhatian agar wanita memperoleh kebebasan dalam berkarya, berotonomi, dan persamaan hukum yang lebih luas. Namun, kedekatan Kartini dengan wanita-wanita eropa tersebut memberikan ruang kepada mereka dalam melaksanankan kristenisasi terhadap Kartini.

Akibat kejadian tersebutlah, berdasarkan surat-surat terakhir Kartini sebelum ia wafat, banyak mengulang kalimat 'Door Duisternis Tot Licht' yang sekarang kita kenal dengan kalimat 'Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang'. Kartini menuliskan kata=kata tersebut setelah terinspirasi dari potongan ayat Al Qur'an surat Al Baqarah ayat 257, yang berbunyi minadz-dzulumati ilannur yang artinya 'dari gelap menuju cahaya'. Kartini yang mempunyai rasa ingin tahu yang besar, mendapatkan ilmu tersebut dari hasil bergurunya pada Kyai Sholeh Darat yang berasal dari Semarang. Beliau banyak belajar Al Qur'an beserta terjemahannnya, karena belaiau merasa canggung jika belajar Al Qur'an, menghafalkannya tanpa mengetahui arti dan maknanya.

Hal inilah yang kemudian menjadi titik balik perubahan hidup Kartini yang semula gelap (mencintai budaya kebarat-baratan) dan menganggap agama adalah penyebab keterbatasannya dalam bergerak dan berkarya, kemudian menjadi terang setelah mempelajari dan mendalami Al Qur'an secara mendalam.

Mengutip surat Kartini di hari-hari terkahir masa penceraannya, “Sudah lewat masanya. Tadinya kami mengira bahwa masyarakat Eropa itu benar-benar satu-satunya yang paling baik, tiada taranya. Maafkan kami, tetapi apakah ibu sendiri menganggap masyarakat Eropa itu sendiri mulia? …” surat Kartini pada Ny. Abendanon, 27 Oktober 1902.

Emansipasi Wanita yang Salah Kaprah

Teman-teman yang saya cintai, dari sejarah singkat yang saya jelaskan di atas, kita bisa melihat dan mengerti bahwa Kartini banyak mengalami peristiwa-peristiwa hebat di dalam hidupnya. Perjalanan kedewasaan dan menuju jati diri beliau banyak memberikan pandangan-pandangan baru tentang kecintaannya terhadap agamanya.

Emansipasi wanita yang masyarakat Indonesia tahu pada umumnya adalah beliau perjuangkan sebelumnya adalah kesetaraan yang sama antara wanita dan pria dalam semua hal. Padahal, menurut kutipan surat beliau kepada Prof. Anton dan Nyonya, 4 Oktober 1902, mematahkan pendapat secara umum tentang emansipasi wanita. “Kami di sini memohon diusahakan pengajaran dan pendidikan perempuan, bukan sekali-kali karena kami menginginkan anak-anak perempuan itu menjadi saingan laki-laki dalam perjuangan hidupnya. Tapi, karena kami yakin pengaruhnya yang besar sekali bagi kaum wanita, agar wanita lebih cakap melakukan kewajibannya, kewajiban yang diserahkan alam sendiri ke dalam tangannya: menjadi ibu, pendidik manusia yang pertama-tama.”

Dari surat tersebut, bisa kita pahami bahwa, Kartini memperjuangkan pendidikan bagi wanita. Pendidikan bagi wanita merupakan hal yang sangat penting agar para wanita bisa melakukan tugas-tugasnya sebagai istri, ibu, secara cerdas, sehingga bisa melahirkan anak-anak bangsa yang berkualitas dalam rangka memajukan bangsa ini. Bukan emansipasi yang menuntut agar wanita bisa menyaingi lelaki dan menyalahi kodrat sebagai wanita seperti juga yang sudah diatur oleh agama. Bukan emansipasi yang 'kebablasan' bagi wanita.

So, teman-teman, berdasarkan hal tersebut di atas, semoga kita semua benar-benar memahami dan melaksanakan emansipasi wanita dengan sebaik-baiknya. Terima Kasih :)

Konser Secondhand Serenade di Sportorium UMY

Tadi malam kampus kita tercinta, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta kedatangan band yang sangat terkenal, Secondhand Serenade. Mereka mengadakan small concert, begitu saya bilang, di Sportorium UMY. Apa sih Sportorium itu? Sportorium adalah semacam gedung pertemuan, yah semacam gedung pertunjukkan yang bentuknya menyerupai keong. Saya mendengar kabar mereka akan bermain di kampus kita tercinta ini ketika saya berada di Bojonegoro, sekitar seminggu sebelum hari H. Menyesakkan, mengagetkan, percaya dan gak percaya karena beberapa teman kampus masih banyak yang belum mengetahui soal kabar ini. Selain itu sangat mendadak, saya merasa sedih, hina, galau, kacau, dan berbagai macam perasaan negatif lainnya *lebay* karena saya mengetahui kabar ini begitu telat dan tidak sempat menabung (maklumlah bukan orang berada) Sayang sekali, waktu promosi mereka kurang lama dan kurang dari jauh-jauh hari. Bisa dimaklumi memang, karena kapasitas gedungnya sendiri juga tebatas.

Sudah hampir 5 tahun saya ngefans sama Secondhand Serenade. Lagu mereka yang pertama kali saya dengar adalah Vulnerable. Kemudian Your Call dan Fall For You. Meskipun sempat ada beberapa band lain yang saya sukai seperti Avenged Sevenfold, Paramore, Boys Like Girls, dll tetapi mereka adalah band luar pertama yang membuat saya mulai jatuh cinta pada musik-musik luar negeri terutama lagu-lagu berbahasa Inggris. Pada waktu itu saya duduk di kelas 1 SMA dan itulah awal mula saya menyukai lagu-lagu mancanegara, dari lagu-lagu Secondhand Serenade tersebut. Selain lagunya yang sangat enak didengar, liriknya juga mudah dihafalkan dan dipahami. Tentunya, romantis-romantis juga lagunya (maklum, pada kala itu saya masih anak ababil, abege labil, yang sedang puber :p). Menyedihkan buat saya adalah ketika I can't join their party, saya tidak bisa melihat aksi mereka secara langsung di panggung, padahal mereka konser di kampus kita tercinta ini, dan HTM nya terbilang cukup murah, 250 ribu saja. Apa daya, maklum, anak kos-an, angka segitu lumayan besar dan sudah bisa untuk makan 2 minggu :p

Rasa penasaran saya semakin membesar, menggerakkan tangan saya untuk browsing, mencari berbagai informasi tentang pelaksanaan konser Secondhand Serenade tadi malam. Juga mewawancarai (paksa) teman saya, bernama kak Ria (@purnamasaria on twitter), mahasiswi UPN yang sangat beruntung *envy* bisa melihat aksi mereka langsung dari Festival A.

Sebelumnya saya mau pamer dulu soal venue dan poster mereka nih:D

[caption id="attachment_50" align="aligncenter" width="636" caption="Venue dan HTM"][/caption]

Menurut info dari kak Ria, lagu pertama yang mereka bawakan adalah Your Call, kemudian Awake, dan lagu-lagu lainnya. Ada sekitar 20 lagu yang mereka bawakan malam tadi. Dimulai sekitar jam 08.30 pm sampai 10.30 pm. Berikut adalah beberapa foto kak Ria yang saya ambil (paksa juga) *justkidd dari beliau. Maaf kalo low quality, karena cuma dari kamera handphone biasa. Yang setidaknya bisa mengurangi rasa penasaran kalian tentang bagaimana sih keadaan tadi malam :D

Website PIMNAS UMY 2012

Sebenarnya saya bingung mau menulis apa hari ini karena saya terbiasa menunggu 'wangsit' terlebih dahulu baru bisa menggerakkan jari-jemari di atas keyboard. Kemudian, iseng saya pun membuka laptop dan mencari informasi sebanyak-banyaknya tentang PIMNAS ke-25 tahun ini.

Terhitung, sudah lebih dari 10 kali saya membuka website PIMNAS 2012. Sejujurnya, itu begitu mengecewakan karena saya baru melihat dua postingan saja. Satu postingan awal merupakan semacam kata sambutan atas terselenggaranya PIMNAS 2012 di kampus tercinta UMY ini. Postingan kedua adalah postingan yang menurut saya out of the theme dari website PIMNAS tersebut. Website PIMNAS 2012 yang diharapkan menjadi media dan sarana dalam mengakses informasi tentang pelaksanaan PIMNAS UMY 2012 ternyata masih jauh dari kata standar. Padahal, website merupakan cara yang ampuh dan cepat dalam mensukseskan event PIMNAS 2012 ini. Seperti yang kita ketahui bersama bahwa perkembangan internet sangat pesat dan canggih dimana informasi apapun dapat kita akses di mana saja, kapan saja, dan oleh siapapun di dunia ini.

[caption id="attachment_47" align="aligncenter" width="594" caption="Baru terdapat 2 postingan"][/caption]

Kemudian saya menjadi penasaran dan mencoba googling website-website PIMNAS terdahulu, apakah lebih baik atau lebih bagus dari website PIMNAS 2012 ini. Tidak membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk mencari website PIMNAS 2010 ini. Informasi yang berhubungan dengan penyelenggaraan PIMNAS begitu lengkap di sini. Tampilan dan tema website juga sangat menarik, membuat visitor betah untuk berkunjung bahkan membaca semua postingan-postingannya sampai habis.

Ijinkan saya membahas website PIMNAS 2010 tanpa mengurangi rasa hormat saya kepada admin website pimnas 2012. Sebagai seorang pengunjung website yang sedang mencari informasi selengkap-lengkapnya mengenai PIMNAS, website PIMNAS 2010 sangat lebih dari standar sebagai website resmi event PIMNAS 2010. Berbagai macam informasi bisa saya dapatkan di sana, mulai dari sejarah dan tujuan kegiatan PIMNAS yang selalu diadakan setiap tahun. Selain itu, saya juga bisa mengakses info tentang tema-tema apa saja yang diperlombakan, kegiatan apa saja yang akan berlangsung di PIMNAS, serta langkah-langkah mengikuti PIMNAS. Hal yang paling menguntungkan bagi universitas yang kedapatan menjadi tempat penyelenggaraan yaitu event ini bisa menjadi sarana dan media dalam promosi tentang universitas tersebut disamping promosi tentang kebudayaan dan obyek wisata daerah dimana universitas itu berdiri. Tidak lupa, website tersebut juga dilengkapi dengan foto-foto pra-event, ketika event berlangsung hingga pasca-event. Begitu juga informasi tentang biodata hingga judul-judul proposal para peserta PIMNAS dan para pemenangnya.

Begitulah sekiranya informasi-informasi yang sangat dibutuhkan para pembaca. Diharapkan sekali, website PIMNAS 2012 benar-benar bisa menjalankan fungsinya semaksimal mungkin dalam mengsukseskan PIMNAS 2012 di Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. Yaitu dalam menyediakan informasi selengkap-lengkapnya dan sebanyak-banyaknya. Selain itu juga bisa menjadi tempat dan media yang menyalurkan beberapa ide-ide kreatif dari keluarga besar kampus dalam mempersiapkan, melaksanakan, dan menjaga pelaksanaan PIMNAS 2012 secara aman, tertib, dan sukses. Pastinya, suksesnya kegiatan ini juga membutuhkan kerja sama dari berbagai pihak, bukan hanya dari admin website nya saja, tetapi juga dari panitia, mahasiswa dan karyawan Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, juga masyarakat Jogja pada umumnya dalam menyambut kontingen-kontingen perwakilan daerah dari seluruh Indonesia.

PIMNAS 2012

PIMNAS, PIMNAS, PIMNAS? KENALAN YUUUUUUK..

Sejujurnya, PIMNAS adalah istilah yang asing bagi saya sebagai mahasiswa semester 2 di kampus tercinta ini. Setelah searching-searching, googling-googling, akhirnya saya menemukan arti dan maksud dari sebuah kata yang akhir-akhir ini jadi HOT ISSUE oleh teman-teman seperjuangan. Insya Allah tulisan saya berikut ini merupakan hasil input (membaca website dan blog) kemudian saya output kembali menggunakan bahasa yang bisa lebih mudah dipahami oleh teman-teman sekalian, terutama para mahasiswa tahun pertama di kampus tercinta ini. Happy reading :)

APAKAH PIMNAS ITU?

PIMNAS adalah singkatan dari Pekan Ilmiah Mahasiswa Nasional dan rencananya, PIMNAS 2012 yang akan diselenggarakan di Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta ini adalah PIMNAS yang ke-XXV. Bisa dibilang, PIMNAS adalah semacam kompetensi bergengsi dimana seluruh mahasiswa-mahasiswa dari Sabang sampai Merauke dari berbagai macam jurusan, mulai jenjang D3 hingga S1 akan unjuk gigi, memamerkan, mempertunjukkan, karya-karya kreatif terbaik mereka. Nama baik universitas dan rasa gengsi sangat dipertaruhkan dalam kegiatan ini.

APA SAJA KEGIATAN PIMNAS ITU?

Karena PIMNAS merupakan kompetisi event, maka yang diperlombakan adalah proposal kegiatan yang dibuat oleh para mahasiswa dengan topik yang sudah ditentukan oleh panitia. Kegiatan tersebut tidak diharuskan berupa penelitian ilmiah. Kemudian, mahasiswa akan dibiayai oleh DIKTI (Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi) sesuai dengan program kegiatan yang sudah dibuat sesuai dengan proposal yang sudah diajukan. Nantinya, mereka tetap akan dimintai pertanggung jawaban berupa laporan aktivitas dan hasil yang sudah bisa dicapai beserta laporan keuangan secara detail demi menghindari terjadinya penyalahgunaan dana yang ada.

APA SAJA TOPIK PROPOSAL PIMNAS 2012?

Rencananya ada 7 bidang PKM (Program Kreatifitas Mahasiswa) yang akan dilombakan pada PIMNAS tahun ini. Diantaranya adalah:

  • PKM-P (PKM-Penelitian)

  • PKP-T (PKM-Penerapan Teknologi)

  • PKM-K (PKM-Kewirausahaan)

  • PKM-M (PKM-Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat)

  • PKM-AI (PKM-Artikel Ilmiah)

  • PKM-GT (PKM-Gagasan Tertulis)

  • PKM-KC (PKM-Karsa Cipta)


Penjelasannya adalah sebagai berikut:

  • PKM-P (PKM-Penelitian)


PKM tersebut merupakan PKM yang berkonsentrasi pada sebuah penelitian, bisa merupakan penelitian sosial maupun ilmiah. Contohnya adalah (menurut saya, maaf kalau salah), "Pengaruh mitos-mitos masyarakat jawa dalam berkehidupan" atau "Dampak penggunaan air tampungan hujan bagi sistem sanitasi di daerah Bojonegoro"

  • PKP-T (PKM-Penerapan Teknologi)


PKM ini mengusung suatu program bantuan teknologi bisa berupa sistem (mesin, model, pengolahan limbah, dll) atau manajemen (pembukuan, administrasi, pemasaran) tertentu yang harus bisa membantu atau bekerja sama dengan usaha-usaha mikro kelas menengah ke bawah. Tentunya dalam menjalankan program ini harus menggandeng partner usaha yang dijalankan oleh masyarakat dan tentunya juga akan mendapatkan bantuan.

  • PKM-K (PKM-Kewirausahaan)


PKM yang satu ini sangat cocok bagi yang berjiwa bisnis, ambisius, tak takut rugi, dan pekerja keras. PKM ini sangat berorientasi pada profit dan komoditi yang ditawarkan oleh peserta, bisa merupaka jasa atau barang. Di dalam PKM ini, peserta merupakan penggerak utama usaha tersebut tanpa harus mencari mitra seperti pada PKM-T.

  • PKM-M (PKM-Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat)


Kerja sama dengan masyarakat merupakan sesuatu yang paling ditonjolkan dalam hal ini. Dalam membantu meningkatkan kuualitas hidup masyarakat, para peserta dituntut untuk membuat menjalankan program-program kemasyarakatan. Contohnya adalah memberantas buta huruf, mengadakan berbagai macam penyuluhan-penyuluhan, dll.

  • PKM-AI (PKM-Artikel Ilmiah)


PKM ini merupakan program penulisan artikel-artikel ilmiah dalam bidang pendidikan, kedokteran, penelitian, maupun pengabdian masyarakat yang sebelumnya pernah dilakukan oleh mahasiswa secara mandiri (misalnya KKN, studi kasus, dll). PKM yang satu ini sangat berbeda dibandingkan dengan yang lainnya, karena proposalnya hanya akan diseleksi di DIKTI dan tidak perlu mempersentasikannya di PIMNAS. Jika lolos, maka akan dipublikasikan sebagai jurnal ilmiah yang terakreditasi,

  • PKM-GT (PKM-Gagasan Tertulis)


Yang membedakan PKM ini adalah, PKM ini merupakan murni gagasan tertulis. Para peserta menuangkan ide-ide yang cerdas, kritis, dan realistis terhadap isu-isu yang sedang berkembang di masyarakat saat ini dan dituangkan dalam sebuah artikel. Oleh sebab itu, PKM ini adalah satu-satunya PKM yang tidak mendapatkan kucuran dana dari DIKTI karena masih tertahan pada tahap ide dan tidak masuk dalam tahap realisasi.

  • PKM-KC (PKM-Karsa Cipta)


Inti dari PKM ini adalah 'penciptaan' yang bersumber dari ide-ide kreatif para mahasiswa yang dapat berupa model, sistem, dll.

 APA SAJA TAHAPAN MENGIKUTI PIMNAS?

  1. Pengajuan proposal. Sesuai dengan bidang yang diminati ke DIKTI, dilengkapi dengan anggaran pelaksanaannya dan pastikan proposal yang diajukan sesuai dengan format yang tertera pada panduan. Kemudian proposal kita akan melalu tahap penyeleksian.

  2. Pendanaan oleh DIKTI (Kecuali PKM-GT dan PKM-AI). Setelah empat-bulan pelaksanaan kegiatan tersebut, kemudian DIKTI akan melakukan MonEv “Monitoring dan Evaluasi". Kita akan dimintai pertanggungjawaban soal penggunaan uang, apakah tepat sasaran atau tidak.

  3. Presentasi. Pada tahap inilah pertandingan yang sebenarnya dimulai. Yaitu, kita beradu mempresentasikan PKM dengan mahasiswa-mahasiswa dari universitas lain untuk merebut medali emas, perak, dan perunggu.


Universitas dengan perolehan poin medali terbanyak lah yang akan dinobatkan menjadi “Juara Umum PIMNAS”.

Bagaimana teman-teman? Apakah kalian berminat mengikuti PIMNAS tahun ini yang rencananya akan diselenggarakan di Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta? :)

Interview with foreign tourist in Malioboro Mall

Friday, 13 January 2012, I, Uci, Andien, Erma, and Leny went to Malioboro Mall together. We went to there because we had an assignment from Miss Sudarsih to do interview with foreign tourist. We went there after Desitha called us and she said that she had been talking with a foreign tourist in Mc. Donald. Actually, our first goal is to did interview with that tourist. However we did interview with another tourists who was sitting on the next Desita because Erma and Leny had been talking with Desita's friend.

 

Their name were Tam and Smike. Tam was a woman and Smike was a man. They came from Canada but Tam lived in Toronto and Smike lived in Holliwood. They were bestfriend. When we were chatting, they just arrived in Jogja about 2 hours ago when we was chatting with them. After they had finished the journey in Jakarta, they went here so they had not visited the tourism places in Jogja. The next day they would visit Borobudur Temple and Keraton Palace. In jogja they stayed in Hotel Santika. They would spend the holiday in Indonesia for 1 month. The next place were Bali and Lombok. Tam and Smike had married but they didn't have children so they were free. Their hobby were traveling but Smike had another hobby, that was cooking. Smike could cook Malaysian food, Chinese food, and Japanese food. Besides Indonesia, they had ever visited another countries such as Thailand, Japan, and Malaysia. We asked them why they didn't use a guide and they answered that they want to tried new experience. They had searched the information about Indonesia by internet and read some books about Indonesia so they slashed to had journey in here. Then, their favorite movie is Eat Pray Love that shooting location in Bali so they want to get there. At the end of chat, we hope they enjoyed the vacation in Indonesia and could go back here to travel another places in Indonesia.

 

Exactly, I was nervous to interview them. In the beginning of conversation, I told them that my English wasn't good but they said that it wasn't problem. Sometimes we laughed together. They were friendly and they were nice. We really enjoyed the interview. Hopefully we could meet again.

Time Management

What is the thing that longer or shorter? That is TIME. Longer because it’s measure of eternal. Shorter because nobodies haven’t enough time to finish their task. Time goes fast for them who have full activities and happy. Time goes long for them who don’t have activities and sad. No things that we do without time, because its the important thing in our life. The regret always coma late. It’s swallow small things and the things that haven’t use. but, it’s eternal all the terrible things and precious things in the history notes.

Only with use the time, we can know, what are the kind of we? Successful or unsuccessful person? What are the method to manage our time?

  • Unsuccessful person



  • The person who disappointed and aware about it later.

  • They easier to tasty the failure and the regret furthermore fight to get a success.



  • Successful person



  • Available to make something that useful. For them, if now can, not necessary to wait later.

  • Their time in use to do the things that difference from another person. (Amlan, 2009)


Everyone will meet time problem. We will never can change back time. Make them faster or shorter. So, what must we do? We just need some methods to manage time. We should know about time management. How to fill the time that we have. (Ivan, 2009)

 

One of the best lessons that anyone can learn in life is how to use time wisely- William A. Irwin -

Realize time is important. Time is Money. Time is precious. Maybe there are some things that we want to do in this life. How to manage them? There are 3 things that we must have. They are Goal, Plan, and Action.

First, GOAL. What's your destination in your life? Why do you want to get them? Everybody maybe will answer it different. But everyone must have a goal in their life. This is important, because there are many people that don't know why they lived, what are their purpose. Life only as adventure or as routines. Although life is a trip that need to planed by us. If you haven't plan, take a time to think about it. If you need, looking for someone who can guide you. This is Important Step. Don't feel sorry later when you get old, “Why I was not manage my life since young?”, “Why my life like this?” Of course, it always come late.

After we know what we want to get in this life (this is for long time goal), we can continue with make some plans or targets for short time as steps for the final goal. Target for 5 years later, target for this year, even target for tomorrow. Make target tune in your ability. You can write them in your book too.

Second, PLAN. " If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."This statement show us how the important is planning. If we have clear destination, so we can prepare steps and methods to get them. Some steps that we can do are...

  • Set activities


Flashback our activities that we always do. Choose that we need to do and unneeded. Select them correctly. Don't forget to put in good rest and some refreshing activities. Use small notes to write them.

  • Set priorities


Sometimes we still want to do things after we select our activities. We can do all, but the result is not good, even the most important can be ignored. Pour your caress to your priority. Stay focus.

Third, ACTION. Talk less do more. Discipline to keep doing what you've been sort in tone with your priority. Keep it simple. Don't spent the time to complicate something. Do it easy, so you will find the more time. Stay focus again. So you can arrived at finish line safely. (Hoctro, 2008)

One day, a man said, “Alas, the prophet Muhammad, actually, I have acceptall of Isl law. Because that, please give me important thing to my occuppany.” The prophet Muhammad answered, “ Wash your tongue with ‘zikir” (HR Tirmidzi and Ibnu Majah)

The best way to use the time is, lets do that. Throw away the laziness. The will and mind must be united to do the real action, not only words.

Research Essay - Moral Lessons from Football

Football is not an regular sports, but football is a great sport, and most popular sport by almost the entire people of the world because a lot of positive lessons to be learned from it. According to Sebelas Patriot (2011), So much love, so short of time, so big disappointment, then there is nothing but wait for the next game, then happy again. Football is the only unconditional love in this world. The first lesson to be learned is about cooperation. Another lesson is about good sportive for the players or for the audience or supporter. The last lesson is about patriotism that is felt for all the parties who love this sport. So, when people play football, it comes as supporter or just as a spectator certainly there will be a lot of positive things that we can take from the game of football.

 

First, the most important thing in football is good cooperation between the players and also with the coach. In football there is a called core players, back up players, and coaches who have duties and the functions so that trust in their respective roles are very important here. The main target in football is produce goal. To produce a goal would not be play alone, dribbling from the defense itself up until the in front of the wicket and to deceive the keeper. If this strategy is taken, a physical condition will be quickly exhausted and teamwork does not work optimally so it need the cooperation between the players in carrying out their functions. According to “Johan Cruyff (spiritual teacher in Barcelona)” that Champion is one thing, the important thing. However, performing with your own style making people to imitate and admire you. That's the greatest gift. Managing sense of selfishness is very important in football because when there is a goal is created, it's is not goal scorer, but it is a team goal. No individual victory, only victory of the team. Use all the players from the starting quarterback, winger, until the striker is the optimal strategy in creating goals. Offensive pattern is certainly more interesting to watch than defensive. All players apply strategies pick up the ball, rather than waiting for the ball, so all the players work and not only wait for feedback from the other players. The atmosphere of struggle, cooperation, and strategy is very pronounced when they do this thecnique. Then the football game will feel more attractive and provide the positive atmosphere for the players and the spectators no matter what the outcome.

 

Second, Sportivitas is the ethos of the sport, not only in football. Put it simply, the meaning of sportivitas is the lack of foul play, follow the rules. Sportivitas be provisions that distinguish real winner with the normal winner. "Sportivitas is the lifeblood of justice" Letto. Sportivitas is also important for fanatical fans of football clubs. There is nothing wrong of bigotry against one of the main football club. The support supporters by means of their own way to their favorite team are common in the world of football nationally and internationally. Fanaticism, enthusiasm and loyalty of the supporters in Indonesia can be said to be aligned with supporters in the international leagues. Even Franz Beckenbeuer was shocked look fanaticism, enthusiasm and loyalty of the supporters in Indonesia. We can see that Indonesia as a country in Southeast Asia has a great football atmosphere from the point of enthusiasm for football spectators at every events. Indonesia football atmosphere when seen in terms of the enthusiasm of spectators was very proud, but when seen in terms of mental and sportive atmosphere playing football in Indonesia is quite alarming. The mental "not ready to lose" also spread to supporters; some supporters in Indonesia sometimes excite their frustration by acting anarchists if their team lost at home. Fortunately there are still some supporters with big hearts, and have grown mentally as a supporter when his favorite team loses. They are more appreciated when his favorite team win or lose. It should to be acculturated, compared to cultivate unsporting actions such as the above. Moreover, we must obey the rules; accept umpire's decision even though sometimes the referee is often considered the guiltiest in the game though the decision could be properly. However, because public are less understand the rules, it often arises controversy. The defeat is only a consequence in the match but the defeat still a respectable thing when established on the common rules. We want to say congratulations on the winning one or the other teams and want to accept defeat because the consequence of actual results is tribute to the self dignity. Therefore, fair play must be spread as far as possible because the sportivitas should was not chitchat, even that philosophy should be used in any value of the life in order to educate ourselves.

 

The last lesson from football is about patriotism. In fact, football has been growing spirit of nationalism and patriotism of a nation. Observing the way a field star Fabregas show turned out to be a professional footballer who the main thing to develop is passion or the high patriots spirit to football itself. That's the true spirit of the fundamental forces to produce the highest achievements like the world field stars that scored many beautiful goals. Philip Anthony says, “When the game ended, I look all the players cried. Since that, I understood how much it meant to play for English because it is a form of loyalty and the totally to my country”. Defense spirit of a country like that is should be appreciated. At least, football can unite all the elements even though that is fighting. However, it would be much better if the spirit of patriotism which has shown the fans and football players remain embedded in heart and directed to another positive things. It's not only nationalism in a half day that ended when the circuit of football party has finished. So, the real action as a form of patriotism is very important in showing how much love for the nation and state.

 

For some people, sport is sport, and football is football. The connection between sports with things outside of sports is "inconsequential". But, like it or not, sports and of football has always been be associated with everything outside of sports and of football. Football can be a mirror of life for fans and players. This is the philosophy that quoted from the novel by Andrea Hirata, Sebelas Patriot (2011). “....save some money to buy a ticket for PSSI, shout the voice to PSSI until the long whistle is sounded is sincerely. The players head down to pray is a religion. Goalkeeper who embraces the wicket before match is a cultural. Many hundreds of cameras that target field is history. Father who brought his children to watch football is love. The students who rent public transportation, jostling the car to support the PSSI is patriotism. The score note on a giant electronic board that is stared with the feelings of pleasure or anxiety inexpressible is literature that has no equal. Being a football enthusiast means becoming part of the wonders civilization of human.” In conclusion, don't only be spectators who watch football, but also take positive values that contained in to our better life.
