Keep Moving Jogja!

Another sad moment in Indonesia happen again. Now, earth quake shake in Jogja last saturday. Terrible & sangat memilukan. Bukan hanya karena Negara kita dirundung malang lagi tapi juga kita tidak pernah belajar untuk bisa menangani national disaster dengan baik. Hingga saat ini (4 hari after disaster) bantuan kemanusiaan masih sangat lambat mengalir ke sana, padahal penduduk sudah sangat membutuhkan bantuan baik dari segi pangan, medis maupun tempat berteduh. Tadi malam dari laporan BBC News Channel menunjukkan banyak negara di Asia maupun Eropa dan Amerika sudah mulai memberi bantuan langsung kesana & langsung membuat posko2. My good friend in Malaysia said that many companies there wants to make event for fund raising to help Jogja. Itu berarti mereka sudah tidak percaya bantuan tersebut disalurkan lewat lembaga kita karena belajar dari peristiwa di Aceh dan Nias, bantuan tersebut banyak diselewengkan...ckckck...Indonesia...ironis memang, tapi kita mesti maju bersama.

Mari teman2, kita berdoa bersama, merenungkan bersama, mendukung langsung pemulihan Jogja supaya bisa bangkit & maju lagi. Mari semua komponen masyarakat Indonesia untuk bersatu dan saling mendukung satu sama lain, tanpa melihat suku, agama dan ras.
Keep moving Jogja!

Another week pass...cepet banget! Minggu ini ribet sama persiapan exhibition di Perpustakaan Nasional & Kelapa Gading Mall. Yang berkesan di Perpustakaan Nasional adalah bertemunya kita dengan Presiden SB Yudhoyono. Seru dan berkesan! Dia baru kembali dari kunjungannya di Merapi, langsung membuka pameran tersebut, dan yang berkesan adalah gw melihat langsung dan bahkan bersalaman dengan dia...wiuh...seru banget. He's so...so...cool! Sangat Bersahaja & Wise! Gak ngerti gw mendeskripsikannya...Well, yang penting acaranya sukses & anak2 SPH seneng banget karena buku karangan mereka di tandatangan langsung oleh SBY dan istri serta beberapa pejabat lainnya.

Semua kecewa termasuk me...hiks...well, Chris, just move on, i'm sure God already provide great future for u in music industry.

Di SPH-BS sekarang ini kita lagi concern mengenai berkurangnya jumlah murid, dari banyaknya yang pindah keluar negeri, terlalu mahalnya tuition fee nya, banyak buka sekolah baru dengan kurikulum IB juga dan lain-lain. Lagi disusun strategi untuk kembali merebut pasar. Doain ya.

Good Stories 1: Things Aren't Always What They Seem

Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
(Author Unknown)

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,
"Things aren't always what they seem"
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?
The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.
"When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it." "Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead.
"Things aren't always what they seem."
