anyway, 1 December kmrn was World AIDS day (WAD). WAD katanya wikipedia awalnya from UNAIDS, yg ngadain country leader summit on 1 dec 98, dan hence ngejadiin hari itu sbg world aids day.The HIV epidemic in Indonesia is among the fastest growing in Asia. The majority of HIV infections are estimated to occur through the use of contaminated injecting equipment, unprotected paid sex and, to a lesser extent, unprotected sex between men. (Ministry of Health Indonesia & Statistics Indonesia, 2006). When surveyed in 2005, more than 40% of injecting drug users in Jakarta tested HIV-positive (WHO & Ministry of Health Indonesia, 2007), and about 13% in West Java (Ministry of Health Indonesia, 2006). In addition, many injecting drug users also buy or sell sex (Ministry of Health Indonesia & Statistics Indonesia, 2006). In 2005, approximately one quarter of injecting drug users in Bandung, Jakarta and Medan said they had had unprotected paid sex in the previous year (Ministry of Health Indonesia & Statistics Indonesia, 2006). In Papua province (bordering Papua New Guinea) the epidemic is more serious with unprotected sex being the main mode of transmission. In a province-wide population-based survey in Papua in 2006, adult HIV prevalence was estimated at 2.4%, and reached 3.2% in the remote highlands and 2.9% in less-accessible lowland areas. Among 15–24-year-olds, HIV prevalence was 3% (Ministry of Health Indonesia & Statistics Indonesia, 2007). 2007 AIDS Epidemic Update (USAID, December 2007, p.24)
The UNAIDS Indonesia country profile has some facts on the level of AIDS epidemics in our beloved country. Altho i think the data came from their 2005 report. shown on the page was the number of people living with AIDS in Indonesia is 170,000. however the most recent report by WHO showed that the number has increased to 193,000 (ranging from 169 000 to 216 000)in 2006 (WHO, 2007).

anyway, in the spirit of Eid, i would like to introduce you to moslem barbies :D there is a Moroccan Barbie, and a veiled doll called Sara in Iran, and one called Razanne for Muslims in Britain and the US - Fulla is now the market leader. (The Guardian)While pabrik2nya bilang klo muslim barbies enhanced self-virtue in young girls ada juga yg oppose kayak this blog
"Poor, poor young Muslim girls. [...] Thank you male dominated corporations for making girls all over the world have skewed body image and fucked up sense of self."The author think that fulla dan lain2 itu cuma alat cuci otak soal self-image. sama aja kayak barbie. (blonde-anorexic-bimbo-dog poo-picking xD) - see picture for reference :p
altho dulu pernah ada bbrp artikel yg criticizing barbie yg dibikin dgn badan sangat tdk manusia (pinggang extra kecil, dan big tite boobs). bikin anak2 kecil punya obsesi kurus (and blond? :D) kyk barbie. tp yeaa.. i disagree coz i played with barbie n i just didnt think that way. barbie is barbie, it's a DOLL (gile gw wktu kecil dah punya pikiran kyk gt :D)Strike up the band let it playi really am good for screwing things up :D
Love songs to haunt me and I will stay
But when it comes to a waltz
both words and music will ring false
For you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me
Those violins, they must go
So no careless hand with a bow may play
on the strings of my heart
and make me remember how lovers part
How you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me
Strike up the band let it play
whatever it chooses
and I will say,
Play me a waltz if you will
I'll sit here and listen
waiting until my love returns
to take my world and spin it' round
in dizzy swirl
Where girl loves boy and boy loves girl
and feet don't touch the ground

INDONESIA EARTHQUAKE: Sizable aftershocks are likely to be felt along
Features, pictures and blogs:
According to BBC and Media Indonesia Bengkulu province still need more tents for its refugees as well as medical staffs
Indonesia’s quake-relief aid agencies and donations
{ I don't want to fall in love } { I don't want to see the stars up above in the sky } { I just wanna catch your eye } { I don't want to be wined and dined } { I just want to bump and grind with you here tonight } { Because you move so right } INDONESIA EARTHQUAKE: Thousands of Sumatrans are camping out in makeshift shelters or tents, two days after a massive earthquake struck the Indonesian island. More than 40 powerful aftershocks have triggered a series of tsunami warnings in Indian Ocean countries, and international aid agencies are rushing to see what they can do, but there are still no reports of widespread casualties in the quake-affected area of West Sumatra. Reuters pictures show Indonesians treating survivors and gathering up pieces of their shattered homes.
Factory Girl is a relatively new movie (released Feb 2007 in the U.S. n Europe) - tp ga ingert klo pernah ada iklannya :D
it's a movie about a girl called Edie (played by Sienna Miller -exnya Jude Law), a movie prop/friend of the famous Andy Warhol (yup, that famous contemporary artist.. played by Guy Pearce). For me watching it was a reminiscence of the glam world of the 80's. The movie is centered on Edie and her relationship of Warhol's art community/groupie. Warhol in this movie was on his way to fame, and he has "compounded" some people in one place called the factory. A place where, like Andy and Edie said it, people can be themselves. This includes having sex n doing drugs whenever, wherever they want. Andy also at that time started to make movies. Underground/cult movie where it has no plot, and no edits as well. So Andy basically have people to sit down and talk about themselves, and audience can hear Andy's/Chuck's (Andy's second-director in charge) voice directing the person/asking questions in the background. (Semi-documentary kind of). Most of the time Edie is the star of Andy's movie, telling her life-stories, yg emg complicated (and glamorous).
Helped by her good-natured personality, beauty and lifestyle she shortly becomes the icon and eye candy for Warhol & Co. Edie was then nicknamed 'poor little rich girl. Like today's Paris Hilton, Edie was a daughter of a local millionaire. But less fortunate, she was the victim of his father's infidelities and cruelty, she then rebelled, went to art school and then splurged herself to the artist community in New York, where then she meets Warhol. Knp poor? Soalnya she basically just spent spent spent and did not earn money. (Except from his Dad). While Warhol reaped fame and fortune from his movies, Edie has none (well only the fame).
Since the movie is based on a true story, of course it ends tragically. Edie died a young age (28) from a drug overdose. Jadi saya harap neither Lindsay Lohan nor Amy Winehouse would further waste their talent to drug-addiction :p
The problem with myself has always came down to one line: I sometimes just don't know what I want in my life. Even if I know, sometimes it's not specific enough, or I have no extra motivation to achieve it.
I am not a competitive nor an ambitious person. If I don't get things my way, I'd compromise. That and I always said to myself, nothing really matters. That sometimes life is just a big joke. That God granted me life just to make me realise that it's not worth it. (Yezz.. only the afterlife matters... why do we have to be here anyway?)
Plus, my sense of inferiority really hinders me from really wanting to achieve anything. (I am the so-called under achiever :p)
Adding to that, it's been always hard for me to commit to anything, to anyone, even to myself. Bad for relationship, I know. so that's why I think less of myself, of what I want, and have this "if he's happy then I'm happy" thought in my head. which is wrong :p
What if that i wont find out what I'm good at for the rest of my life? My parents wont be always here to defend me. I don't want to be those mid-forty who is still complaining how shitty my life is.
Shit it's just because of the rolling stones show in mtv n watching factory girl. there was this guy, Russel, on the show that really reminds me of myself. He has a lot of talents but he also tends to screw everything up by being disrespectful to his job (which solely because he disrespect himself).
The factory girl is a movie. will review it later :p
Ruben once offered me to do "something that i like" in between my overwhelming tasks :p And i was completely baffled, lost for word coz hv no clue what it would be :D
But well I think I'd offer myself to work on our website since it really needs a lot of updating.
I got a day-off from the restaurant today, just finished off sending the latest contact info of and to all countries, masih ada international evaluation report menunggu. but what do i do? i decided to blog. while i have no topic whatsoever to write. there is some, but cant decide which one to write first =/
makanya when i read the programme i had this thought "hmm.. isnt it more useful if i hv some real experience?", i mean.. in the end i want to work for indonesian communities. not for European or African (my current job, n a previous one are about those two continents). so there are three programmes that i've laid my eyes on: management for international development (condong k organisasi2 aid tingkat dunia - world bank, un.. might b to heavy for me :p), development studies (this i think would b useful to have more knowledge on what i'm dealing with, .. lagian asli, selama ini kan knowledge cuma dr kerja langsung), and communication for development (klo diliat2 ideal banget, ngegabungin communication management n development work.. tp kok gw bosen ya ma comm :p heheh.. lagian he said that uni-nya baru gt.. jd kemungkinan kurang punya nama :D yea like INHOLLAND)
tp klo gw pulang dulu, takutnya entar susah buat ke eropanya.. =/ meanwhile i think indonesia bisa belajar banyak dr sistem aid-organisation d sini.. (or yeah so i thought, never really2 work in NGO di indo.) Dear [censored],
Thanks for your mail.
I hope you’re having a great time in [censored]
Congrats for your upcoming wedding
I always think of you as a character in a fictive novel I won’t bother reading
And I’m surprised that you still sent me this email
In other words: thank you for telling me but I couldn’t care less
Yours Sincerely,
Ulma
It’s either I’m too nice or I don’t have the guts to send this email xD
You're
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!
by Mark Twain
With an affinity for floating down the river, you see things in black and white. kinda true.. i'm learning tho, that the world has a lot of 'gray' shades
The world is strange and new to you and the more you learn about it, the less it makes sense. small correction: PEOPLE are strange :D
You probably speak with an accent and others have a hard time understanding you and an even harder time taking you seriously. not that i speak with an accent but I think I have an annoying (?) child-like voice, and i tend to mumble :p so.. yeah
Nevertheless, your adventurous spirit is admirable. You really like straw hats.
xD well.. straw hats and straw underpants :D
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
(that brown thing in the middle of the table). As you see, my bone-pile is actually the smallest, padahal kita makan more or less the same amount of ceker. It is because when I eat ceker, i popped the whole foot into my mouth and chew the whole thing, crunching and munching the bones, destroying them as i suck the meat off =p~ Ceker's bones are soft, so.. it's actually easy to chew them into little pieces. Afterwards, I always try to spit out all the bone-residue as gracefully as i can :) 
hahahaha.. are you sure you get us all?
she needs to lower the camera a bit :D
hahaha..too low xD
Assalamualaykum,
More on my job and
I still work at the restaurant as well. But I moved to another one, it’s an Indonesian restaurant and is nearer to my office (15-minutes-walking distance). Payment is one Euro higher per hour (6, usually 5), and I don’t work long hours (6 or 7 pm to 11 or 12 sometimes 10 pm instead of 4 pm to 11 pm), but I do have to work more days (5 to 6 days). Tip is better since this is a CLASSY Indonesian restaurant :D (have to wear a kebaya, and be super-duper nice and womanly to customers).
Political parties in Holland also entered some heated discussions on the policies regarding amnesty-seekers and illegal immigrants; a 3-yr-old Dutch child went missing in Rome; somebody smuggled drugs between exported tulips; dan a 17-yr-old teenager was hit by a train in nearby city because he dared with a friend to cross the railroad at the last moment before the train passed. Sekian inti sari berita dari The Netherlands :D
Tadi juga dapet SMS dari Itha Supriyono yg barusan test kerja d Nestle. Coincidentally my ex-high school friend was also there taking the test, this morning I was surprised when I received two very similar text messages (one from Itha and one from my high school friend). And yeah, turned out that they met during the test and decided to send me an SMS :D
FYI during high school there was this time when I went to Yogyakarta with my friends from SMUNti Ngalam and to save cost we stayed at Itha’s residence :D dapet meal, entertainment and free guide-to-Jogja as well :D And afterwards Itha also visited us in
Miss you Love you!
