Gone for Bali Mas Dalih, Creative writing lecturer send her friend as his substitute. Her name Mbak Abmi, our previous class meeting guest. Last Monday, She played a movie “Bag It” as I’ve told you before in my blog. Now, she brought someone with her as our next guest. I surprised for a moment about the reality that she was a male. For a glance i never realize it was a trick! She has pointed nose, proportional body and long hair perfectly makes her looked like a woman.
Interview begin as usual like previous meeting, begin with introducing as Olivia Sonya Aresta or Sonya for short. She is from Klaten and now lives in Yogyakarta. He has been in Yogyakarta since he was in vocational school (D3). Mbak Sonya is a hard worker, for instance she becomes an activist in PKBI (Perkumpulan Keluarga Berencana Indonesia) one of organization concerning about the marginal society. He is also a beauty consultant, a seller of online shop, and a make-up bride.
Life is not that easy, what you already chosed prepare for next obstacle. Not being recognize in her family, she chosed to work independently. And makes this problem as her homework till now.
Lived in Klanten from childhood till senior high school, makes her realize about her real identity. She gets funny childhood life, she told us in junior high school, she usually hang out in the night and began to dress like a girl. This continued till she was in senior high school. Once she went to mall in Yogyakarta, suddenly she encountered her friends. They noticed Mbak Sonya in dressing like a girl and mocking her. Feeling uneasy, she went out from Klaten after Senior highschool, escaping from what her friends learnt about her.
Lived in Yogya as her choised, Yogya is not the only place that she went to fight for her identity, Bali,Solo, Jakarta and Bandung. But, she loved being in Yogya because of the atmosphere is different and also she learnt many lesson in there. She helped earthquake victims and in return when she was sicked, she gets helped from many people especially her closed friend. She learnt about friendship in Yogya. And as a volunteer in PKBI, she keeps wanted to help many people from now on. Also, helped her friend to fight againts HIV AIDS. The reason i choosed it in my tittle ("he" is beautiful), he is a marginal but he still keeps his beauty inside. Thank You Mbak Sonya for your inspiration...

Kim's drawing: Inspiration behind imagination
.JPG)
Kim Yee Seul is a student at Universitas Gadjah Mada, no one in her class knows her as brilliant acrylic artist. As her classmate, gee i can't think that she was really good at that kind of stuff. well, i kinda like drawing also but with different skill than her. Alright forget about me, back to her. She is already made great painting although she looked like a newbie. Well, after i learned about her hobbies in interview in our class, she told us in her school of art she used to paint 6 hours or more than hours. If i become her, i will stop painting also. Kinda wants to die right? then she went out from those school .
But, although she went out from there, her skill not leaving her behind. Her paintings still same simple, gorgeous, and beauty. Her painting is really easy to understand, she just imagine something in her mind then paint it. Every artist could do this, i know its not that easy and simple. How do i know that? because every paint has their own soul from their creator. Every painting always has a secret message behind it. To explained the creator feeling about them.
Like Kim painting, kim capture what she liked then she draws it. For example those picture, actually i think Kim likes to draw a nature, even she said the flower followed Van gogh, for what i see there i really wants to asked her why she only two flower? and why she have to draw an apple? And why addidas? maybe because those product is her favorite and woman wears those jacket product, maybe those woman in her draw was her. i could imagine, a girl walk in the park with the sun flower, sun flower symbolize a happiness and apple symbolize the sweet and gentle taste of the world, if you could imagine this simple drawing could make you feel what kind of person Kim is? In this picture we could say, she is cheerful, why? because she used calm and bright color for her painting. Although the woman expression seems depressed but, actually those kind of expression is about the woman felt about her surrounding, felt the gentle wind touching her, soft sun light lit her way in those park. Really calm and peace world. Even, in those picture seems not looked like a happy one. But, the background could make us forget not only those woman in that painting. Learn it, then you will understand a beauty inside of Kim's drawing, could you guys agree with me?

LGBT has same right with us
There's something interesting which i learnt from my lecturer on Monday may 13th 2013, an interesting interview that i never forget. There someone sit nicely on chair with warm welcome. Someone that i never expected before.. someone who are not being appreciated on public and someone who never afraid from what they have chosen. yes, a transgender or you should call them LGBT (acronym for Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) for first time i looked him or should i change to her? ehem.. alright, i looked down on her. because, in the past i had bad experience with one of them.. till now i still hate them. geez.. what a pain.
But when i saw her, everything my opinion about those kind of thing changes. I learnt so many things from her. Life is already hard, when we changed to something different from the other people the struggle which might we face would be more harder. That was happened to her, even three years had past.. she has not be welcome by her family. But, i never sees those eyes before. she said " this is my life, i'm already choosed my path and become woman is my choice" said her, or should we call her Sonya. I don't know but in Indonesia many people still rejected their appearance and felt uneasy if seeing them. She never let the fire turns off, the will of life and the will to help people. They also human right? they also want to become useful to many people not be want as ragtag.
In my country Indonesia, not many expected their appearance on society even they helped they will not easily being accept in there. It seems liked want to eliminate their appearance in this world. What i thought is, they are human, people same like us. Every human from this world has a right to defend them self or to make better life. So, why looked down at them? are we better than them? we are not a god himself. The one who could valuate us is god. We never know what he thought about this. Right? so we as human needs to evaluate ourself. Dont look down at someone which are different from you. Someday those people will stunned you and make you as big fans of them or make you learnt their life.

Bag it movie (2010) review
“GO AWAY
PLASTIC BAG!”
I learnt a lot from this movie even only a plastic bag
becomes really big problem for our earth and cross many years there’s no
solution for that. And people these days once realized about the bad effect
from the used of it. But they never learnt to stop to use it. They learnt and realize this problem for only a second but then forget
the lesson till next years and keep use till later and later on. Unless this
plastic bag effect made people sick and people will memorize the use of plastic
bag is useless. Well, really humane, people will become better or learnt
something after something bad happened to them, yeah yeah very very usual.
Plastic is the cheapest material to keeps something, such
as to keep our foods, our drinks, our medicine, our tools bath, till daily
tools for our babies? Are ya sure? You gotta be kidding me?! But yeah well it
happens already, too late to realize it. If you know what is the plastic
material components you will say “YUCK” for first word pops out from your mind. Believe me... because I do. Plastic bag created by chemical process and makes
them recycle. There are 7 types of this
plastic bag and there’s only one two type which can be recycle. There are: Polyethylene Terephthalate
(19%), High Density Polyethylene (10%), Vinyl or PVC (0%), Low Density
Polyethylene (5,6%), Polypropylene
(1,7%), Polystyrene (0,8%), and other (6,1%). There only type of water bottle
which can be recyle and
the rest of it will become our garbage in this lovely earth. Bad human...
You know
plastic bag already covering our sea from north, Indian, south Pasific subtropical gyre and the north pasific
subtropical gyre named changes now because of the sea fill with garbage then it
becomes the great pasific garbage patch. Well, 90% marine living had decreased
significantly. Don’t ask me why? Now, the garbage which are being left in the ocean because of the sun makes them expand and become tiny size as
size as plankton or any little creature under the sea. Then those tiny sizes of garbage become fish foods and destroy cycles of living in the sea.
Theres many victim from marine creature because we as human destroyed their
home and their food. Theres nothing left to them except their empty body which
is left blending with other garbage in the ocean. So, gets your heart
into your mouth by now? Take it
easy bud, I
haven’t explained more. Theres also bad effects which are
attacking childern it’s all belong from their toys, tools bath, food and
drinks. Its not because those are dangerous things but the thing which are kept
them, yeah they made from plastic and more plastic bag. The material from
plastic will effect our body soon such as cancer, hypospadias, early puberty,
and etc. And for our baby which are their mom who consumed the plastic form as
the food and drink storage and etc. Will become not normal as a baby boy will
be much feminime same like baby girl will be much masculine. Because we don’t
want those effect in our life, maybe plastic bag could not be errase from this
world use but we could use it for one time. Save our world from our self. I
meant save this world with our power, we have brain we must use it in the fair
way to protect this world and also to create wonderful place for all the living
things which are already life with us for a long time.

Comel Drink Miracle
Hot and depress, that the words which are popped out from my mind. When i was passing through Ugm area, some idea makes me feel refreshing. "I must make this idea become real and stop Yogyakarta dryness although only just once!" said my mind. Then, i followed my idea and pay a visit Lembah Ugm food court to heal this dryness. My shoes start to approached the street (at Lembah Ugm food court). Slowly the scenery changes. The wind breeze welcoming me it's gentle touch through my skin softly along with a little orchestra of the birds from the trees above me. Perfectly made me amaze at the moment. The calm and peaceful moment erase my tired and dryness only in their one touch. Erased from my first words opinion about Ugm Area right now.
Lembah Ugm Food Court is one of area at Ugm which is offering many kinds of food and drinks. It is located at Karangmalang street a cross Ugm Philosophy Faculty. In here, i started to search an unique drink to heal my dryness with the reason because i'm wanted to taste something new which is i never tasted it before. I'm wondering around infront off those stands. Then, few minutes later. I found stand named Hardiyo, in his menu i found a list which is made me curious. The menu named is Comel Drink. After I'm ordering it, im asking to the owner about the recipe of those drink which will become my elixir from this burning. He said "maaf mbak saya tidak tau resepnya" " oh yasudah" well, maybe he didn't want to tell me the recipe but i will watch how to make it. Thats sound same right? why should we ask the recipe if we can see it directly infront off us? "sounds a great idea" said my mind again. I ordered comel orange drink, so the recipe are chocolate, Nutrisari then he blend it until they mixed and Voila the elixir of my dryness came to me yayy! it served in the plastic glass. I thought in my mind again "it will become a trash. And made worst our earth also it will cause bad effect to our healthy as well. Oh maybe, the owner wont clean it and makes it faster way with throw it into garbage" my negative thinking or you could say my satan from my mind whispered that. But, i'm agreed with my satan. Only for now!
When i choosed a seat to drink this fella, i choosed very very comfortable place to drink my elixir. The view which is i seen that time was simple. Only covering with many tress such as banana tress and other unknown trees that i have'nt know the name also i can see tennis yard up ahead maybe just 30 step from my seat. My lips landed in the straw, then im started to sucked it. The sweet taste covering in my mouth, the orange and chocolate mixed into something which is not too sweet also not too sour. It completely heal my dry. In second thought "why i drank the drinks which had a name from our enemy? comel is Malay words right? and it means Cute drink. You gotta be kidding me! but whatever i don't care about those thing. First thing first this fella become my honey and my sweet miracle it come to save my last breath because of Yogyakarta heat.

died for his dedication
Sleman, Yogyakarta -
"I am still in Mbah Maridjan's house. There are many guests here. Mbah
Maridjan said he would have Ashar praying first", Wawan
said to his friend from Yogyakarta's today newspaper, on the phone, few hours
before the eruption occurred.
Yuniawan Nugroho, often
called Wawan, appeared in the victim list of mount Merapi eruption, on October,
26th 2010. Work as a journalist, he was dedicated to do his job for documenting
the updated information about mount Merapi.
For making it good, he
directly went to theKinahrejo, Umbulharjo, Cangkringan village, Sleman,
Yogyakarta, in which Mbah Maridjan lives. Unfortunatelly, he got trapped there,
when the eruption of mount Merapi was occurring.
This 32 years old man
might not be died if he didn't come back to Mbah Maridjan's house, soon after
the warning sirine heard, for picking him up to go down to the more safe are.
"He is a caring and loveable person. Helping other people is not the
unusual thing to do , for he also contributed in the program of charity and
welfare for improvised person", Yudi, his work partner, also
work as a journalist explained to us.
Yet, what I want to say
is that even though someone possessing intention, to help others, but still God
who does creates decision. Wawan was killed, there, when the Pyroclastic flow
was approaching the land - the current location where he was in Mbah Maridjan's
house. That huge clouds of ash stoppedr, his life and his career as a
journalist.
Being found died, Wawan
along with Mbah Maridjan and the rest 8 ones were evacuated soon after the
location was nearly safe because of the great eruption of Mount
Merapi. Yes, the eruption which didn't need much time not only to cover
the whole nearest village in Kaliurang including Canfkringan, which is
considered as the worst area being destroyed, but also the people surrounded
grief and mourning of this tearful thing.

Replied for Dina's Letter
Howdy Dina? Hopes you well..
Well..
i cannot imagine from what i had learnt from your story.. it must be tough for
you.. i hope god always bless and protect you. Life is hard.. not always fun.
Im also got a hard life such as you Dina. Then I’ll tell you my story. This
could become a lesson from who read this.
This
is happened When i’m still 3 years old. My late father had gotten a fatal
accident when he got back from his bussiness at Holland. Which made him
paralyze for all his life verdict the Doctor.
I learnt many thing from this eyes. How hard the life is. As the only child from my family, you cannot
say im childish if you learnt my stories. From this eyes, i looked into my
mother. She is a wonderful mother. Even my dad was on hospital everyday and got
paralyze for all his life time. My mother won’t give up. And be patiently
nursing him. Maybe i just a young girl that day and doesn’t understand
anything. But i never see any tears from my mom eyes. She just doesnt want to
make me worry. Eventhough i did not know what happened to my father. As a kid,
i keep asking many question such as “when dad going home mom? Is he still
sick?? Why he always sleep in hospital and doesnt want to play with me?” my
mother doesn’t answer those question, i just get tremble hug from her.
In
the school, many of my friend teased me about my father condition or even
walked away from me... not only in the elementary school, in junior high school
and senior highschool. All of my friend had learnt about my father condition.
Well... i just got a few friend from every school which is i entered. My mother
also... she got a mockery from our siblings and our neighbourhood. My mother
not fears anything except god. She always told me “everytime we sad, god
protect us and give his bless to us. And dont forget a miracle always with a
patient people. ” I want to believe this word. Then, my mother told me when my
father had been fired in his work. Because all his friend said “ he cannot give
anything to the enterprise. Because he is paralyze and stayed in the hospital.
He is not worth anymore even he gave manything to our concerns back then.” When
those hope vanish in our family. This what my mothers meant “a miracle always
with a patient people”. The miracle happened. I bet a god sent an angle from
heaven. Nah not that’s cool.. but i bet my father friend is an angle for our
family. Because of him, my father could continue his work even he only stayed
in hospital not working in his usual place.
Day
and day had passed. Day changed weeks, weeks changes month changed year. But
theres no sign to my father to get cure from his paralyze. Every I’d Day or
Ahad day. My father just stayed in hospital all by himself. Not even his
siblings looked at him or just to say “hows your feeling?” my father always
alone and felt lonely i could tell from
his eyes. But he just smiled everytime i asked him and came to see him. My
father always proud to me even i cannot give him anything such as : i never got
any rank in my class or even a charter from any competition. I gave him
nothing. I felt.. Im just a failed girl back then.
Im
grown up into fine young lady. I get strong and strong everyday, everytime i
heard mockery or anything. Im always thought
positive. God loved me. He doing this to all my family because he loved us. And
he already built a better place for us in heaven if i stayed strong.
When
18 years old and become student of UGM. My father passed away. I bet... i could
make him happy in the end of his life. But.. i cannot attend to his burial
because i got an final exam for my course. My father already mention this could
be happened so he told his last word to his friend that “if my daughter cannot
go home when my time is coming. Just burried me right away. “ my tears burst
out when i learnt this from my mother.
Now,
might be my father had stand in his own feet and could do anything he wants...
up there..
Right
now.. im the one who will continue my own story start from today.. because the
past is one thing that we can not forget. But it become our strong building to
face a new future ahead. Which is the one who could reach it with a happy
ending one or sad ending. It is all in your hand. Because this is my story and
im the one who will reach happy ending one.
Yogyakarta. 15 March
From the one who never scared to try and try again.
