The New Beginning

The New Beginning

Every time entering a new year, people usually have some new resolutions to do. The resolutions are to make their life better exactly such as to leave a bad habit, to start a new business, to start or finish study, to try some new things which are never done and even to find an appropriate person who will be a good spouse.

As we know, Becoming a good person than the past time does not have to wait until the moment of a new year, in as much as we can every time change ourselves to be a better person.

The point is how much time we spend to make our lives more productive. Currently, people will ask about how can we do that ? and the answer is just to begin what thing you assume as the best one. If you think you should try to learn cooking once just try to be in the kitchen and start cooking. If you feel you wanna make either an article or take a beautiful scenery picture, it is enough to think of your plans once, and then just do and enjoy it. Don’t waste your time to consider and worry too much every bad possibility which will happen cause all bad possibilities may not happen and so do all good possibilities. 

Leonardo Da Vinci definitely does not make an awesome portrayal like Mona Lisa in his first attempt. David Beckham was impossible to make an astonishing banana kick when he tried it for the first time. We do too. Just start doing your plan and then look how it runs. Just to be more little bit different and unique than the others will make it looks great instead of following the common way. If it needs to be evaluated so just fix it. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake. Because a mistake can transform to become an advantage if you manage it well. The more you try the more you seek to understand. ‘Sometime we don’t need to be able to start doing something, but just start doing something then we will be able.” 

By that just stay focus on your life today and tomorrow once take your assured pace to start your fascinating new beginning now. As the world will never wait you for longer…

THANKS 2016

THANKS 2016

Unforgettable! That word is a word that can describe my life in this year. Yup, during 2016 I have passed many things which are so important and precious for me. Before entering this year, same like the other years, I had a lot of plans and resolutions. One of them was that I had to finish my study in university. Finishing my study in public administration, political and social science faculty, Hasanuddin University was my most priority for this year. I made some plans to make my targets happened systemically. I set my time to remind me and to talk to me that there are something to do and stop wasting my time uselessly.

In the early new year, my classmate – Andrew- invited me to join with his friends who wanted to make a new project about a social movement which was created differently. This project had a purpose to share and spread positive things surrounding us by creative and imaginative quotes, illustrations, and videos to people, especially for youth in social media. Then, we had got a deal to choose “SIPAKAINGE’” as our name project from our region – Bugis Makassar-  that means “reminding one another “ as well as our purpose to do this project.

Sipakainge’ really helped me to know managing social media account for public. Even though we did not be expert men behind it but at least our knowledge about one of the important things in this era had been improved. Sipakainge’ made our team to work hardly every day not except me. One of my advantages to join here was that I could explore my passion in creative illustration and sometimes in videos. I was chosen by our team to be a coordinator of creative division. Because of our work, day after day our creations were liked by people and Sipakainge’ was appointed as media partner by some companies, one of them was Politeknik Bosowa. I had a good team with different background, they were Andrew, Rafli, Musyrifil, Eka, Alif, Irsa, fahrian and bowo. Sipakainge’ did not exist for a long time, because of our own work and purpose to continue our life and some different thoughts to continue this project. So, Sipakainge’ just ran fewer than one year, but whatever the ending was, Sipakainge’ had taught me how to produce good and positive creations which can be enjoyed and useful for many people. Keep “SIPAKAINGE’”!

In April month, beside of my birthday, there was one special thing that happened. That was my big bro’s wedding. Due to his wedding, finally I have a sister. For your information, my mother especially my father used to considerably want to have a daughter and so do I by the way, so that was why he made my hair long like a girl when I was a kid, because I just have two siblings and all of them are boys. So that, this wedding was so precious for us because we have a new member in our family, and the feeling was more special as that person is a woman and her name is Asma. By that our life become more colorful and at least there is a more compatible person who can accompany my mother to hang out hehe. Alhamdulillah, until this article has been uploaded, she has been pregnant for 4 months, hopefully she will give a cute baby in 2017 for us. And we still hope the baby will be a girl. Aamiin.

Getting married is the dream of all people. One day i will.

Among twelve months in this year, June was the best month ever for me I think. In that month finally I finished my formal study in Red Campus, Hasanuddin University. During 4 years being in this campus, I got so many stories. Joining in student organization had changed my life, especially for my confidence. I have got many good friends, senior and junior who gave me new spirit, knowledge and precious experiences. I had graduated at the appropriate moment as well as my plan on June 6^th 2016 exactly after studying in one of the best campus in Indonesia for approximately 3 years and 9 months. Getting 3.72 as my grade point average with cum laude predicate made my graduation more special.

This time was when i just started explaining my script in front of examiners. Taken by Chica.

After finishing my presentation, my friends directly gave me some gifts. Thanks sis!

My "Relasi Men" who always be good partners in or out of class. Let's reach our dreams dudes!!!

Taking a photo with "Anu dudu" crew, -several unique persons that i have.

I am the first one of them. Smiling beside letting me go, after having great years together.

How happy i was, making my parents proud of me.

But, there was still one thing before my graduation that I think it was also special, it was the day which became my last day to take a structural responsibility and mandate as a council of organization. After running the organization for a lot of difficult days and time, finally I became “a free man” by that day. I cannot lie to myself that I had spent much and much time to give my concentration and energy to sort out organization, so that I spend and concern of my time more just for me and my passion after leaving my formal function. In the end of my time being in that organization, there was one decision and policy that was decided by the forum members and make a big difference on this organization. I am sure until this time that the decision which was taken is not pure from a whole members and just was made by a few people who too intervened with their bad ego. It really made me disappointed, beside of realizing that there are still the members who are not good and still disrupting the organization. Somehow, this organization has given me more good things than the bad things. So, whatever happened, it is my obligation to say thank to this organization. 

The Last 5, they were such good people. Best friends who always be together along taking many big and hard responsibilities from 2012 until 2016 including becoming the council of organization for our last year in our organization - HUMANIS FISIP UNHAS-

It felt so free after putting our structural responsibility on our junior - next generation-. "Kejayaan Dalam Kebersamaan!"

Next moment was when celebrating Eid Mubarak – A holy day of Islam- 1437 H. A long time it had been, we did not reunited in Makassar to spend our time together with a big family. Though it was not a whole family, but it felt still so special as my several family members came to Makassar. Moreover, after Eid Mubarak we went to Bulukumba, particularly Bira Beach – one of the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia- to make quality time. It was that I just love!

Making a sudden wefie before traveling to Bira!

Being with family is the most precious thing we felt.

Lastly, I feel so happy that my decision to go to Pare gives me a lot of advantages. New relations, families, knowledge and experiences. Going to Pare and Jogja was like the most productive time of me in this year – it was a such good moment-. My days ran systemically and perfectly, and the most important thing was that I got what I need to. My English skill had been improved significantly and I got my target score of TOEFL which was 507 - it is more than what I expect to- , although I know I must still keep studying and gaining much knowledge about English . 

TEST English School Members period September 2016.

Give away!

In the end of this year, I am still looking for a job which appropriate with me. I think for now It is rather be getting a job than continuing my study instead. I finally figured out that if you want to get some precious things, you also must give your best effort. So much so that I really hope I will get a good job in next year with other good moments like what happened in this year by my best effort. But, before leaving this year I just want to be so grateful to GOD for everything He had given to me and I THANKS 2016!

The Sense of Art

-THE SENSE OF ART-

Talking about “desire”, everyone must be having their own special thing to do, it is usually called as a hobby but some people call it in another word as a passion. The passion is not actually created but it comes purely from its subject. People have different hobbies, because there are so many kind of interesting activities that people can do such as art, sports, reading, literature, cooking, even sleeping, and etcetera. Now, I will not give my opinion for all examples of passion but I will explain what I know about the first one, art.

A number of people usually do not realize that all things surrounding them are art, art cannot be separated from our life. Everywhere and every time we will meet art. Firstly, In the early morning, we will be woken up by the beautiful sound of Adzan and then we open the window, directly, we can see one of the best creations which is made by God, the sun. After that, eating our mother’s delicious breakfast before going to work has become our habit to start our day. There are art effects there making anything better. Those are what I mean about art in a simple form.  

As people commonly know, art is only about music, drawing, dancing, making a statue, acting on the stage or something like that. They think that only an artist or an art worker who can do the things about art, and what they do is not the art if  they do not act or create what an artist does. But, actually art is universal and has no limit. Everyone cannot do good working if they do not have a sense of art. You can make yours useful to help your work, because everybody has it. Managing the time to study, to work, and to play appropriately are a part of art. Leading the team, setting the room, and making some strategies for marketing cannot be success without art sense.

The other sides, if we improve our knowledge or skills in the more specific part of art like making some arranged noise (music), creating several beautiful portrayals or launching a nice movie, we will get more advantages and more enjoyments. Usually, people spending their time to make some creations or to do something about art are more creative than people who do not. Moreover if we start doing it when we were a kid. So then, we can use our creativity on every activity impressively.

Other advantages which we will get if we have a passion in art are we can make some entertainments which will be felt and will be enjoyed by not only us but people who watch us also. It will be some pleasure and a privilege. Some people recommend the others to try to play the music, because it can make us stay young. I do agree with it. People never feel bored to play music and neither do i. Another creation as well as astonishing portrayal is good to be enjoyed too. And there are still many kinds of creations of art that we can make and enjoy together. One of interesting things about the art is we can share our ideas or our thoughts and describe about everything that we think of with art in different way and more impressively.  

Lastly, I just want to say that all of us can do everything about art. Start from a simple thing to a more specific thing. Everything that we do is art and art cannot be separated with us. Can you guys imagine our life without art? It will be empty.
