beberapa minggu lalu, ada seorang teman yang kirim e-mail ke gue, yang isinya tentang miss america 2009 pageant.
mungkin sebagian besar teman-teman udah tau, ada apa antara perez hilton dan miss california dalam beauty pageant itu, tapi gue kasih quick elaboration aja ya, kali2 ada yang baru denger :)
dalam final miss america 2009, Mario Lavandeira (also known as Perez Hilton, kolumnis gosip yang terkenal lewat blognya perezhilton.com, dimana di blog itu dia kayak menceritakan apa yang lagi happening di hollywood dan sekitarnya) dipilih sebagai salah satu juri. Perlu diketahui juga, si Perez Hilton ini juga merupakan seorang homoseksual (and also a hollywood gay-icon).
nah, entah pada tahap berapa besar (kayaknya sih big 5 atau big 3 gitu), si perez hilton ini kebagian untuk memberikan pertanyaan ::yang biasanya harus dijawab dengan wauw sekali, entertaining, terdengar smart, tapi seringkali ngawang-ngawang dan klise gitu:: ke miss california, Carrie Prejean.
pada intinya, pertanyaannya adalah tentang gay marriage : should another states legalize gay marriage?
dan carrie prejean menjawab begini , "I think it's great Americans are able to choose one or the other," she said. "We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what in my country, in my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be, between a man and a woman."
jawaban miss california ini menjadi sangat waow beberapa waktu kemudian. kebanyakan orang merasa, kalau secara politis, jawaban carrie ini sangat amat ngaco dan tidak representatif, apalagi, dengan gelar 'miss america' yang ditujunya. amerika kan land of freedom, kalo miss amerikanya sendiri gak setuju dengan freedom dalam marriage, gak representatif dong?
tapi pada akhirnya, carrie nggak dapet crown miss america kok. dia cuma jadi runner up kalau gaksalah. Perez Hilton sendiri bilang, "her answer about gay marriage cost her crown" (singkatnya : carrie gak menang karena jawabannya)
kasus ini pun menjadi semakin hot, ketika perez hilton menunjukkan kekecewaannya terhadap jawaban miss california itu dengan mem-post video, dimana dia mengatakan bahwa carrie prejean adalah seorang dumb-blonde. untungnya, gak lama setelahnya, dia meminta maaf melalui media atas tindakannya tersebut.
di postingan ini, gue gakmau sok-sok memberikan opini tentang gay marriage (hehe gue tau kapasitas, gue sangat dangkal dan gak mengerti soal ini), tapi gue mau mengomnetari sikap orang-orang terhadap jawabannya si miss california ini.
gue pribadi, sangat amat menghargai jawaban miss california ini. bukan karena gue setuju atau tidak sama statement dia ya, tapi karena dia sangat sangat jujur mengenai apa yang dia percaya. dan gue sangat salut akan orang-orang yang bisa tetap mengutarakan pendapat dan apa yang dia percaya dalam kondisi yang sulit.
kalau gue memposisikan diri sebagai carrie prejean nih ya : gue calon miss america (yang katanya the land of freedom), ditanyain soal gay marriage sama seorang homosexual icon (yang juga menentukan, apakah gue pantas untuk dapet crown miss america itu), ditontonin sama jutaan american citizens diluar sana, yang sekian persennya adalah homoseksual ATAU orang-orang yang mendukung gay marriage.
what a huge-massive pressure
kalau kita jadi carrie prejean, kita punya 2 pilihan :
1. tetap dengan apa yang dipercaya (bahwa marriage harusnya antara perempuan dan laki-laki) dengan resiko dicap politically wrong, tidak mencerminkan amerika yang bebas, dan kehilangan crown miss america
ATAU
2. menjawab dengan etis dan diplomatis, demi menyenangkan semua pihak dan mendapatkan gelar miss america, meskipun itu bertentangan dengan life values yang dianut
yang mana yang akan lo pilih?
gue salut sama carrie, soalnya dia milih yang pertama. untuk tetap sama pendiriannya, meskipun pada akhirnya dia menjadi bulan-bulanan publik dan harus kehilangan gelar yang dia pengenin (meskipun gue gatau ya, apakah carrie sadar akan hal ini. kalo dia menjawab kayak gitu secara impulsive sih..gubraks deh gua. hahaha)
enough talking deh. lama-lama makin gak mutu entar postingan gue. hehehe :D

this is what wikipedia said about blackle
Blackle is a non-profit website powered by Google Custom Search, which aims to save energy by displaying a black background color for search results.
The concept behind Blackle is that computer monitors can be made to consume less energy by displaying much darker colors. Blackle is based on a study which tested a variety of CRT and LCD monitors. Dispute over whether there really are any energy saving effects.This concept was first brought to the attention of Heap Media by a blog post, which estimated that Google could save 750.0 megawatt-hours a year by utilizing it for CRT screens. The homepage of Blackle provides a count of the number of megawatt-hours that have supposedly been saved by enabling this concept.

upside down
seumur hidup gue, gue hampir selalu mendapatkan apa yang gue mau. entah kenapa bisa begitu, gue juga gak tau. yaaaaa bukan berarti gue pengen private car atau macbook air terus tau-tau dikasih .. tapi apa yang gue dapet, selalu merupakan hal yang esensial, yang betul-betul gue perlukan dan gue inginkan. hampir selalu begitu. sejak dulu.
pas gue mau masuk SMP, nyokap nyuruh gue masuk SMP Sanur. masalah yang gue sadari saat itu, adalah masuk SMP Sanur tuh nggak gampang. Perbandingannya sekitar 1:5. pas tes-nya pun gue santai-santai aja, nggak kayak temen2 gue yang sibuk belajar sana-sini, atau bahkan sampe datengin psikolog buat konsultasi persiapan psikotes (yang emang salah satu requirements-nya). gue santai banget, dan pas tes masuknya pun, gue gak gitu bisa ngerjain. disini, miracle happens. gue diterima, gatau gimana bisa. sampe sempat kepikiran, dulu itu sebenernya yang lolos tes masuk sanur itu cuman diambil random aja, soalnya temen-ytemen gue yang jauh lebih pinter dari gue bisa-bisanya gak keterima. tapi setelah gue masuk sanur, gue tau kalo semua hasil tes itu ngaruh, dan dijadikan bahan pertimbangan. gue cuma bisa 'uwaw' aja waktu itu. gue mendapatkan apa yang gue inginkan.
kejadian kayak gini pun kejadian juga pas mau masuk sma sanur.sebenernya, gue gak pengen masuk sma sanur lagi. 3 taun bareng temen2 yang semuanya cewe, bikin gue bosen, meskipun gue sangat mengakui kalo masa-masa smp gue itu seru banget. tapi disini, nyokap gue kepengen gue masuk sanur. jadilah gue daftar disana. kembali lagi, gue sangat santai. pas tes masuknya, gue gak belajar samasekali. lebih paranhya, ternyata tes pelajarannya itu terbilang cukup susah. dari 20an soal mat, ga ada satupun yang berhasil gue jawab kelar. tapi gue santai aja, gak terlalu peduli, meskipun gue tau, gue sangat perlu sekolah buat ngelanjutin pendidikan gue.
sekali lagi, gue mendapatkan apa yang gue mau. entah gimana, gue diterima di sanur. jujur aja, gue sangat-sangat-sangat kaget.
selain kedua peristiwa yang gue bilang diatas, ada lagi beberapa cerita terkabulnya hal yang gue mau. semakin gue berkembang, gue semakin sadar, bahwa gue sangat diberkati dengan semua kejadian yang gue alami dalam hidup. hampir gue enggak pernah merasa kecewa sama apa yang gue dapet, dan bisa gue bilang, gue enggak pernah mengalami kegagalan yang gimana banget gitu.truly blessed.
tapi gue sadar, kalo seharusnya hidup itu tidak semudah ini. gak mungkin gue berada diatas kayak gini terus-terusan. pasti ada up, and down (yang belum pernah gue alami secara 'dalem' banget gitu). semakin gue sadar akan hal itu, gue menjadi takut.
semakin takut.
takut, kalau akan mulai masa-masa dimana gue mengalami kegagalan yang bertubi-tubi. takut, kalo gue akan kehilangan apa yang gue harap akan gue dapatkan. takut berada dibawah.
gue takut.
ketakutan ini, mulai gue rasakan ketika awal gue kelas 3 sma. ketika nilai gue merosot jauh,gue gagal ketika apply pmdk sebuah univ, dan gue hampir gak punya waktu buat ngapa-ngapain selain sekolah, rapat osis, sama bimbel.
dan saat itu, gue merasa, masa-masa 'down' gue itu mencapai puncaknya ketika gue mengikuti tes masuk salah satu ptn. bayangkan aja, gue udah usaha gila-gilaan, ikut bimbel dari awal tahun ajaran, merelakan semua free-time gue buat mempersiapkan diri untuk menghadapi tes tersebut pada bulan maret kemaren. selain itu, gue juga udah mempersiapkan mental gue, kalo ternyata nantinya gue gak lolos di tes masuk tersebut. gue sudah memantapkan diri, kalau gue SANGAT SIAP menerima apapun hasil tes tersebut nanti, kalau-kalau gue ternyata belum beruntung, dan tidak bisa masuk univ tersebuat melalui jalur tes yang ini. karena memang, tes untuk masuk ptn juga ada faktor luck yang cukup menentukan. kalau kata seorang teman, sepinter apapun lo, sebagus apapun passing grade lo, kalo lo memang belom beruntung, ya lo gak akan lolos (gak beruntung disini maksudnya, kaya kertas jawaban kelipet, masalah2 teknis dsb deh).
gue betul-betul siap menerima hasilnya. namun sayangnya, ada satu hal yang missed. gue memang siap menerima apapun hasilnya, namun gue sangat tidak siap ketika menyadari bahwa gue tidak bisa mngerjakan tes masuknya.
mungkin gue memang udah terlena gitu aja sama hasil tryout yang cukup bagus, dsb, dsb. gue sangat gak nyantai, ketika ternyata soal yang gue dapet itu sedemikian susahnya, dan bahkan gue sempet menganggap kalo gue ikut bimbel selama sekian bulan itu percuma aja, karena gue bener bener gak berkutik sama soal kemampuan ips di tes masuk univ tersebut.
ketika itu, gue bener-bener mikir bahwa inilah masa-masa gue yang terbawah. dimana gue baru pertamakali ngalamin sesuatu yang disebut kegagalan.
tapi ternyata, gue salah.
mungkin ketika tes, gue bener-bener down. tapi ternyata hasilnya sangat diluar dugaan gue. gatau gimana, gue berhasil lolos di jurusan yang gue mau. gue betul-betul sangat bersyukur. gue sadar kalo ternyata Tuhan masih sayang gue, masih senantiasa memberikan apa yang benar-benar menjadi kebutuhan gue. meskipun mungkin gue bukan orang katolik yang baik, yang masih sering males gereja, sering lupa doa... tapi Tuhan tetap memberikan apa yang gue butuhkan. im truly blessed.
moving on dari keberhasilan gue yang mengagetkan mata-hati-telinga itu, gue kembali sadar dan takut. sadar, kalo ternyata gue masih belum merasakan masa-masa down dan kegagalan yang sebenarnya. gue takut, kalau-kalau gue mengalami masa-masa itu (kegagalan) justru di bagian yang paling penting dari 3 tahun masa sma gue. yaitu sekarang, ketika gue lagi melewati ujian2 yang menentukan, apakah gue akan lulus atau tidak, dan apakah bangku di univ yang sudah gue dapet benar-benar akan gue duduki?gue harap begitu.
gue merasa, gue sangat tidak maksimal. ujian praktek gue berjalan biasa aja, bukan sesuatu yang bakal 'wow' banget di sttb gue nantinya. ketika ujian nasional pun, gue terbilang santai.
dan sekarang gue harus menghadapi konsekuensi dari kemalasan gue tersebut.
satu hal yang pasti, gue dapet nilai super jelek di uan ekonomi.
i feel sooooo damn stupid.
gue merasa nyesel, karena gak serius ketika un kemaren.
sekarang gue harus menerima hasilnya.
sttb gue gak akan sebagus sttb smp. akan sangat jauh dibawah itu.
sekarang gue cuma bisa berdoa.. supaya hasil un pelajaran yang lain cukup baik dan gue bisa lulus dengan cukup baik juga..
... dan apakah ini memang masa-masa gue berada dibawah roda?
kalau memang iya, gue harap gue cukup kuat bertahan sampai gue bisa naik lagi..
:)

knowing
celebrating the end of our national exams, me and udin off for a movie. right after school time, we're goin to lapiazza. we choose lapiazza based on reasons below :
1. we're out of money. hahaha :) and its cheap to watch movie there
2. at first, we planned to see our beloved meirna at a hospital nearby. she got dbd. but when we call her, she said that she's not in the hosp anymore, so our plan cancelled. it's all about movie!
after looking for movie schedule, we decided to watch a movie titled KNOWING.
heres the movie's synopsis
in general, KNOWING is a gripping action-thriller of global proportions about a professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the futureand sets out to prevent them from coming true. In 1959, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one mysterious girl fills her sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead. Fifty years later, a new generation of students examines the capsules contents and the girls cryptic message ends up in the hands of young Caleb Koestler. But it is Calebs father, professor John Koestler (Nicolas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years. As John further unravels the documents chilling secrets, he realizes the document foretells three additional eventsthe last of which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow involve John and his son. When John's attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself to try to prevent more destruction from taking place. With the reluctant help of Diana Wayland and Abby, the daughter and granddaughter of the now-deceased author of the prophecies, John's increasingly desperate efforts take him on a heart-pounding race against time until he finds himself facing the ultimate disaster and the ultimate sacrifice.
(source:imdb.com)
for me, the movie is so-so. the plot's quite good, but ended up a bit strange (for me).. with all the aliens and ufo (based on my interpretation to those creatures and rides). i like cage's role as a great-smart-loving-caring-protecting father. and i hate a role named Diana Wayland (played by rose byrne). for me she's just tooooooooooooooooo.. dunno. i just dont like her. :P
the greatest part of this movie is cage's son, CALEB (Chandler Canterbury). he's sooooooooo damn cute :)
heres his pic
if you guys could recognize, he also took part in the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", as 7 or 8 years old Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt).. cute, young talented! hihi i love this lil guy :)
well that's all for today. tomorrow i still have russian tryout and mimic photoshoot for my yearbook :) after that, me and udin plan to eat sushi tei, fulfilling my words month ago. :D
i'll post the pic asap.
hav a nice wekend everyone!
P.S : i almost forget, today's my little sissy's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Economically, you are precise and sound. or you can say : CIPE! hahaha thanks to all cipe-girlfriends
You will not spend money on impulse. you just dont kno, im a impulsive stationary-shopper. begh :(
Although you don't show, you are actually a person with pride, and tend to be upright and little bit short tempered. yes, iam!
You may act more maturely than your age, or more childish at times. precisely!
This unbalance tends to be your attraction.
You are very independent sort of person, and will not dare think to rely on men. agreee ahaha
You therefore try to take control of things. only when i see that my intervention is important..
You can very well take lead of men, and have a skill of not showing that. ha-ha commentless
Profit and efficiency is very important to you. well, what can i say, im a social people :P
You tend to choose your hobbies on that as well.
Even after you get married, you wouldn't be turned by houseworks, and in fact will carry out it efficiently. exactly what i wantttttt
You will take great interest in your children's education, and will turn out to be a good mother and a wife. sweet bener sih ahaha
