Idyllic sunrise

When the mist fall down slowly and the sun was emerging over a cloud. It was perfect atmosphere to begin climbing mountain. An angelic voice was singing to me that sounds like a poetry. Birds chirping around made me forgetting the weight of my carrier. Dancing shadow of the tree, dancing lights on the leaves gave meaning to the earth.

Located in the center of java island, Slamet mountain divided this island into four pieces. It was my first mountaineering to climb second highest mountain in java island.

The sun opened my sore eyes and it emerged from the melancholy horizon, softly turn the universe into magnificent view called morning. Seeing northern sea on your left side and southern sea on your right side is the best combination to soar your imagination.

Ocean of cloud condensed gradually through its saturation point to be one of the stunning scene on the live drama, a stair to heaven.  

In the end of an idyllic sunrise was the serene feeling because it was so quiet. You began to realize that in that moment it’s just you, the sunrise and the universe.

She is a rainbow over the rain

Last month, on a gloomy day, I peered out over the balcony. My eyes took in the dark colors squeezing through clouds. The scent of the rain hung in the air as I watched the sky darken. The gloom of the cold day crawled into me like the damp into bare timber. Even I heard the bird song came to me as if from a deep well rather than from high in the trees. Then, from under the steady blanket of grey cloud came a heavy rain that moved like a mist in chaotic directions.

The morning was old as the coffee on my desk. I drank that coffee and started realizing that my life just like a photocopy machine. I wake up at the exact same time every day, do the same work as yesterday, meet the same people, go back to home through the same way, and fall asleep at the identical time. Tomorrow, it will be repeated over and over again. I was a walking zombie with meaningless life.

Suddenly, all of that changed when I met her. She is a rainbow over the rain. She is the river and the birds that sing a melodious tune. I feel her in the air, every breath of me recalling her in a way that sends electricity to spark my minds body and soul. She is medicine, she is light. I believe on my eye as a man that she is the most beautiful creature in the universe and her beauty doesn’t need a validation from instagram or path. But unfortunately, she is from other dimensions.

I can go anywhere with her, seeking the milkyway in the edge of Iceland, get lost to the center of earth in jomblang cave, enjoying sunrise at the santorini of Greece, eating mondhegili at night around Venice, and diving in the deep sea of Maldives.

My life changed from the first glimpse of her. She thought me to be a better person. Last week when I run out of ideas on my writing class task. She told me about becoming an idea magnet from Dee Lestari. Sometimes ideas come like lightning, in flash we are infested. Not knowing when or how. But sometimes ideas run out. We begin to think “Let’s give up”. So, it depends on your commitment. Once you prove your commitment the table will instantly turn. You will never run out of idea.

She is Steller, an apple’s best application in 2015.

Are we a robot?

Rhancodas shamaldas chancad, the genius man from 3 idiots movie said robot is a device that is used to help human job. Fan, handphone, also zipper are robots. But Wikipedia said that robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electromechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. From my perspective, robot contains two basic component, electrical and mechanical. The first robot which I build in the first time was a Tamiya. Then time flies, I can make a complicated one. It looks like human, so people usually call it a humanoid robot.

This complicated machine can dance and walk like human. It takes a year to build her. Designing the body, assemblying the bones, routing the blood line, programming the brain until become a robot.

After that, I build an autonomous boat for surveyor. I call it Savinna. It operates in 2 modes, Manual Mode or Autonomous Mode. In Manual Mode, it is controlled directly by operator. The Operator can see Savinna’s movement through Ground Control Station and input the commands to Savinna with Remote Controll. In Autonomous Mode, Savinna moves based on GPS coordinates, that’s been set before. The GPS coordinates are set in Ground Control Station.

The next project is very challenging. I will make a robo submarine. This sub marine can dives 100 meters in the deep sea. You can control it from the station on the ground or you can be inside it and drive it to sea underwater scenery.

So, from the description I write above we can come to the conclusion. Are we a robot?

 First, technology grows very rapidly. One of the result is human that lose himself, human declines his working’s ability. Even, human is not only represents that jobs to robot technology and auto parts industries but also being robots, parts, and  screwdrivers for capitalism industry.

Second, something that was created by the greatest to be leader on the earth. Having good behavior, treating nature as partner, protecting weak people, doing humanity value as a lord’s robot.

Which do you choose?

Learning to Pope

Writen by: Sarjoko

The celebration of Easter 2016 left a lasting impression, not only for Christians, but religious people in general. It happened because the highest spiritual leader of Catholicism, Pope Francis, perform unusual rituals. At Easter, the pope washed the feet of twelve migrants of whom are Muslim, Christian, and Hindu. Not just a wash, the pope even kiss the feet of the migrants.
These events are very touching. Moreover, it was done a few days after Brussels bomb attacks that killed 34 people and left hundreds of others opens to. When some quarters to use the terrorism issue to develop islamophobia, Pope it gives the message that terrorism is not bound by any religion in the world. Moreover, Islam, the teachings rahmatan lil'alamin, Mercy for all creatures.
Pope action in respect of other faiths should be an example for everyone, even for Muslims. The Muslims have a duty to wage jihad in the strict sense, ie, to provide security for the worlds. Moreover, Allah affirmed in the Quran, Islam's holy book, that the duty of man on earth is to be a caliph (Sura 2:30). The main task of a caliph is to strike a balance in all aspects of life.
From the origin of said, Islam means peace. In the name of Islam means to show the elements of peace. Recognition terrorists that they fight in Allah's way is the recognition that unfounded. Because the act of terrorist scare contradicts with the fundamental values ​​of this religion. Therefore, as a devout Muslim, we have to show the true face of Islam. Abdurrahman Wahid, former Indonesia president said, 'We need a friendly Islam, not Islam angry'.
Rekindle the spirit of tolerance and love of followers of other religions are the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and his companions. This is shown by the Prophet on different occasions. For example, is about the ministry of the Prophet Muhammad on a Jew who is blind. Every day there are things that are never abandoned by the Prophet Muhammad, which is to go to the market and feeds the Jew blind. When feeding people, the Prophet often hear the curses of the Jew who vilify the Prophet Muhammad. Instead angry with the Jews, the Prophet was even more show friendliness and affection. When the Prophet Muhammad died, it was followed by Abu Bakr.
It was weird, the Jews said that a person who fed him this time is not the ordinary people fed. Companions Abu Bakr said yes and explained that commonly fed is Muhammad, a figure that has always been the Jew lashing material. Explanation Abu Bakr was made the Jewish heart was touched.
The story of the Prophet Muhammad services to the Jewish people has become an example undeniable that Islam teaches tolerance, even to people who hated him. Because, basically, like the embers of hatred. If hatred confronted with hatred, that happened just a flame that is extremely powerful. Were able to extinguish the fire of hate is named affection snow.
Terror events in Brussels and many other places is the fruit of hatred being maintained by some people. He will continue to grow if addressed with the hatred of others. As an agent of good Muslim, it is our obligation to put out the embers with the great teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace based the doctrine of love, mercy, and compassion.
The Prophet has pointed out, it's time we move! We ready to become agents of a good Muslim?
