Second time, the more i addict.

Seminar Nasional ALSA 2009. That was the second time i attended national event of ALSA National Chapter Indonesia, the more i join the more i addict. It was really fun from the very beginning : 21 delegations from Universitas Indonesia were going to Jogjakarta to attend the event. 18 persons were going by the same train from Gambir to Tugu station, and the others were having another train. It was like giant family were going to have some holiday together! :)



First day of seminar, honestly was so boring and we were soooo sleeppyy :D but it was quite fun tho, at least for myself hehe. I met friends from another chapter, friends who i knew before in POWB and new friends also.





In the first night, we (UI delegations) were having a little-trip to Alun-Alun Selatan Jogjakarta, that is the Alun-Alun (Taman) Keraton Jogjakarta that can be visited by the people. It was dark, but fun :)




On the second day, after we had a workshop we were having a closing ceremony at Law Campus UGM. We sang together, danced together, we shared laugh and get around together because that was the last night we had together. I felt another yearning already :)






After all, the next day, the last day we were together at Jogjakarta, our committee friends from ALSA UGM were accompanying us to Prambanan and Taman sari, as our City Tour. And again (i wont tired to say ) it was fun, fun, fun, and fun! Besides we had time and tour together, ME MYSELF CAN TOOK PICTURES! WOW, the site is really really interesting to capture on. I LOVE JOGJA :)







I really hope that God will give me another chances to have a national event which will be my third, fourth, and on and on :)
And last thing, i would like to thank our Liaison Officer, Diva, Cynthia and Ferdy :)

Once

It's a little bit funny and ridiculous. All of a sudden, I like you. I missed some chances to get to know you.

It's funny. I like you once. It disappeared. And now all of a sudden I see you such a nice a guy, care, fun, and lovely one.

It's awkward to hear story about you and that other girl.
It's confusing.
I like you now.

Freedom to write a Blog as a Freedom of Expression

Introduction

Nowadays, having and writing in our own blog become more popular in most communities. There are a lot kind of blogs which has been made in internet, either it’s a serious written-theme or not, either it is a blog that contained of news or the blog that has been made for an entertainment such as jokes-blog that contained of funny-jokes.

Freedom to write in a media called blog is one of the ways for people can express their ideas and opinions into a written, in order to let the society know what is on their mind and in order to give any informations and ideas to the society as the objective. Furthermore, the aim in writing an idea is the freedom of expression either it is in the form of protest or motivation for anyone.

The freedom to write in a blog is the freedom of expression, and the freedom of expression is also on of the Human Rights which are protected by the law in Indonesia. There are also some rules,norms and principles applied and must be obeyed so that blog-writers will not harm other people’s rights.


Freedom of Expression
"Freedom of information is a fundamental human right and ... the touchstone of all the freedoms to which the United Nations is consecrated." . Freedom of expression has been developed to be such an essential issue related to Human Rights. Human Right is rights (as freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution) regarded as belonging fundamentally to all persons . It is explained that this human rights is the basic rights which have to protect of every human life in this world. There is also other definition of Human Rights in Indonesian Human Rights Law Number 39 Year 1999 Article 1 which explain that human rights is a set of rights attributed with nature of human as a God creature which have to be respected by Law, Government and other people.
Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.
International has declared freedom of expression (also known as freedom of speech) as one of human rights. Thus, this kind of freedom should be protected by the Law and respected by all human life in this world also by the Government. Freedom of expression has already begin in the 17th century. Freedom of has been seen as a basic philosophic concept, as a problem in government, and as a legal or constitutional right. John Milton in his Areopagiticia of 1644 : “Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties”. Also, there is an argument came from John Miller in a relation to freedom of speech an, and he said that freedom of speech included therein the right of express, to get information, to express an idea. There are three aspects according to John Miller’s argument, among others :
• the right to seek information and ideas;
• the right to receive information and ideas;
● the right to impart information and ideas

The constitutions of many old and new governments mention freedom of expression explixitly. Thus, Article 11 of the French Declration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, adopted in 1789, explain that “every citizen may speak, write and publish freely” and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations on Dec. 10, 1948 “everyone has the right of freedom of opinion and expression”.


Freedom To Write

Writing is commonly known as a hobby. But, just a few of people who realized that writing is one of the media that we can use as a democracy tool. By writing something we can share our ideas, wants and feels about anything. In a relation with democracy, we can share our protest, ideas and feels to the Government who role the state we are living in.

There are a lot of media we can use as writing field, such as Diary, Newspaper, Magazine, and Blog. In this essay, writer want to explain about writing a blog related to Law which protect it. Thus, in the next paragraph will explain more about blog and other related issues and problems.

As mentioned in previous part (Freedom of Expression), there is a law that mentioned about the right of freedom of opinion and expression. It is in French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen 1789. A blog is one of the art that can be a media for people to write on and publish it easily through internet. Based on that, we can refer it to International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights that writing a blog is one of freedom which protected by Law. ICCPR mentioned that everyone has a right to freedom of expression either orally , in print or in writing in the form of art or through other media of his choice.

Blog is a free media through internet so people can easily write their feelings and others in order to people know about it. In addition, blog is just not easy for the writer to write anything but also it is easy for the reader or target to get any information because the internet is nowadays easier to reach. A lot of people write a blog to express what they think and what is their ideas or just want protest about anything with different intention of each writer. It refers to John Miller’s argument according to three aspects of freedom of speech / expression : the right to seek, to receive, and to impart information and ideas.

Lots of website or social networking contained of blog facility inside them. It proves that nowadays people more concern about expressing their ideas and opinion into a written. They facilitating people to write in a blog, to express their ideas and opinion, because democracy is growing up and the essence of democracy is public ideas and opinion. Freedom to write is important according to democracy, because writing and especially writing in a blog is one of the ways people can express their thoughts about the Government’s project and Government itself. From the blog, Government can also know about what their people thought about their project.

Other example of function of writing a blog is we can share about our dissapoinment of private-public facility, such as Hospital. Few months ago we heard about Prita-case, which told us that there is a woman named Prita and she sent an email to her friend that contained of protest / disappointing comment about Omni Hospital in Jakarta and her friend publish Prita’s comment into a blog. Then, Omni Hospital hold back and reported Prita for the defamation. Afterwards, Prita get caught by the police and the Through this case we can learn, about the protection of human rights especially on freedom of expression is not well-protected in Indonesia. Because, there is only a Law that protect human rights but it is just protect a general of human right. There is no National Law in Indonesia which protect freedom of expression specifically.
Freedom to write as a freedom of expression is one of the set of human rights. There are many constitutions, laws, and international convenant mentioned about human rights especially on freedom of expression in order to try to protect it. But, as mentioned in a previous paragraph, in Indonesia there is still no Laws mentioned of freedom of expression specifically. It is better if Indonesia has Laws which can protect freedom of expression for its people, it is as well Indonesia is a democracy state which should give a freedom to its people to express their ideas and opinion based on human rights. However, behind a freedom to expression there is also norms which have to obeyed in order to respect other’s rights. Hence, as a good citizen we can use our right as a human but not harm other people’s rights.

First Life in ALSA National Event

Hey bloggers, udah lama banget nggak pernah ngepost lagi hehe. This time post, i want to share a story, a first time experience of mine in National Event of ALSA (Asian Law Students' Association). This is the national event called "Pramunas and Outward Bound of ALSA". Kali ini, yang jadi host POWB itu ALSA Local Chapter Unpad.

This was the first time i joined the ALSA National event. And that was the great experience for me. I really really really enjoyed of every moment happened there. It was held in Bandung and Ciwidey.

Gue dan temen2 dari UI berangkat ke acara nasional ini ber-15. Tapi awalnya, yang dateng cuma 5 orang, dan sisanya menyusul karena waktu itu ada ujian.


Dari kiri-kanan : Yvonne, Gue, Sisil, Yuli, Tisya. Ini waktu Opening di kampus FH Unpad.

Delegasi yang ALSA UI bawa itu ada 15 orang dengan 3 orang yang akan sidang di Pramunas, dan 12 orang lainnya ikut outbound sama temen2 nasional lainnya.

Acara mulai hari Rabu dan berakhir sampai Sabtu. Hari rabu siang kita berangkat ke Ciwidey. Malemnya, gue yvonne dan andrea langsung ikut sidang yang dipimpin langsung sama National Board ALSA Indonesia. Ini kali pertama gue ikut sidang kayak beginian. I was a lil bit nervous, and wondered what should i do in this room and i wasn't pretty much know with each other local chapter friends. Ada 11 Local Chapter lainnya yang dateng dari seluruh indonesia, ada Universitas Syiah Kuala, Universitas Sriwijaya, Universitas Padjadjaran, Universitas Jendral Soedirman, Universitas Brawijaya, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Universitas Dipenogoro, Universitas Airlangga, Universitas Jember, Universitas Hasanuddin, dan Universitas Sam Ratulangi.




Ya kira - kira beginilah kondisi waktu lagi sidang, hehe. Dan itu Kami dari ALSA LCUI! hehehe

Setelah melalui 2 hari sidang, akhirnya sidangnya berakhir dengan lancar. Semuanya berjalan dengan lancar dan itu semua berkat teman - teman yang sangat kooperatif dan NB yang asik haha. Makasih national board :)
Seiring waktu itu juga, gue akhirnya bisa mengenal temen - temen dari LC lainnya. THEY ARE SO AMAZING. temen - temen baru yang asik - asik banget. Mereka sangat menyenangkan dan lucu! so glad to know each of you guys :)




Ini foto - foto setelah selesai sidang, waktu lagi main-main keesokan harinya, dan waktu main cebur2an sama 'kakak2' dan 'abang2' directors hehe.

And the day to go home was arrived. Sabtu 24 Oktober 2009, diadakan closing ceremony di Aula Patuha Resort Ciwidey. Ternyata, untuk meninggalkan acara nasional itu se-menyedihkan itu. Setelah ketemu temen2 baru, dan ternyata cuma bentar doang ketemunya. Terlalu singkat waktunya ternyata. Juga, waktu bermain - main sama temen2 delegasi UI sendiri hehe.



Yak, dan ini foto - foto gue bersama temen2 ui lainnya sebelum acara closing dimulai.

Closingnya sangat menyenangkan. Dengan kegilaan temen2 dari UI, akhirnya temen2 LC lain juga ikutan gila :p tapi sangat memorable kok :D:D

Empat hari yang sangat menyenangkan. Walaupun awalnya agak bingung dan canggung karena belum kenal sama siapa - siapa, tapi akhirnya karena ALSA gue dan yang lainnya bisa gampang untuk akrab. Pengalaman yang sangat asik untuk bisa ketemu temen - temen dari seluruh Indonesia. Nggak sabar buat dateng lagi ke acara nasional berikutnya. Semoga lancar deh acara nasional berikutnya, lancar dalam artian gue bisa ikut hehehe. Semoga bisa ketemu sama temen2 yang kemarin ikut POWB dan semoga bisa ketemu temen baru lagi biar bisa nambah temen lagi :D

See you ALSAians!

Aditya - Catatan Akhir Minggu

Aku Aditya

Sudah sehari - yang rasanya sudah setahun - aku tidak bertemu dengan Talita. Aku malu. Aku merasa hina. Aku tidak pantas bertemu dengannya.

Aku menerima postcard yang Talita berikan padaku, di depan rumahku. Talita tidak bertemu denganku, yang awalnya aku bingung kenapa Ia melakukan hal itu. Tapi, setelah aku tahu isi postcard itu, aku mengerti.

Pikiranku melayang - layang ke waktu - waktu yang sudah berjalan. Waktu - waktu yang menjadi saksi persahabatanku dengan Talita. Sejak kapan Ia jatuh cinta padaku? Apa aku terlalu bodoh untuk menyadarinya, atau kah memang Talita begitu lihai menyembunyikan perasaannya padaku?

Apakah aku menyayaginya?
Apakah aku mencintainya?
Apakah aku membutuhkannya?
Aku tidak tahu jawabannya.

Satu hal yang aku tahu, aku tidak bisa membayangkang hidupku tanpa Talita.

Talita dan Aditya - Dia Berhak Tahu

Aku Talita.
Aku mencintai Aditya, ternyata. Aku mencintai dia, dan dia tidak tahu apa - apa tentang hal ini.
Dia harus tahu perasaan ini. Bukan, dia berhak tahu perasaan ini. Aku tidak boleh menjadi egois untuk tidak bilan kepadanya apa yang aku rasakan.
Lagipula, harus sampai kapan aku harus hidup dalam kebohongan dan dalam kepura - puraan? Kepura - puraan ketika aku harus tersenyum melihat tawanya, ketika aku harus menepuk pundaknya diiringi oleh senyumanku ketika dia sedang kecewa dengan Amanda, ketika aku berpura - pura bahagia ketika sahabatku - yang diam-diam aku cintai - berbahagia dengan wanita lain?

Tapi, disamping itu, aku tahu Aditya akan bahagia bersama Amanda. Mungkin Amanda lah yang bisa menjadi pendamping hidupnya, selain aku. Aditya begitu terlihat tulus mencintai Amanda, bukan aku. Ya, dia mungkin mencintai aku, sebagai sahabatnya, tidak lebih.
Oleh karena itu, walaupun Aditya tahu perasaanku, aku tidak meminta lebih dari Aditya. Aku tidak akan menuntut apapun dari Aditya. Aku tulus. Aku mencintai dia, dan aku ingin dia bahagia.

Hal tersulit adalah aku bisa ikut bahagia apabila orang yang kucintai berbahagia dengan pilihannya, tetapi disamping itu Aku kacau karena orang yang kucintai pergi bersama orang lain. Tapi, aku mencoba untuk merelakannya. Aku mencoba untuk bisa bertahan di kakiku sendiri, tanpa bantuan dari siapapun, walaupun itu bantuan dari Aditya.

Aku mungkin wanita yang rapuh.
Tapi aku yakin aku bisa bertahan dengan melihat orang yang kucintai berbahagia.

The Remember Sky

And you don't know what i feel, everytime we had a conversation
Even i'm not around you, but i feel the same
This sky, and the lights from the sun
This how i remember you.

Talita dan Aditya

Hari ini lagi pengen buat cerita hehe. Pendek aja sih ceritanya. Tentang seorang cewek bernama Talita. Enjoy! :)

Talita.
Namaku Talita. Aditya, nama sahabatku. Kami dikenal sebagai Talita dan Aditya. Itu yang aku harapkan. Kami, Talita dan Aditya. Tapi, bukan itu yang diinginkan Aditya. Ia memiliki keinginan lain, yaitu Amanda.
Setiap aku mendengar nama 'Amanda' keluar dari mulutnya dan dari suaranya, aku hanya bisa tersenyum. Senyuman itu sakit. Hatiku sakit. Aku sakit.
Aku sahabat yang baik. Aku menyayangi sahabatku. Sebagai sahabat yang baik, aku harus selalu bisa mendukung dia dikala apapun. Dia sahabatku. Tapi, hatiku berkhianat. Hatiku ingin lebih, lebih dari sahabat.
Aku mencintai Aditya, dan aku yakin Ia tahu akan hal itu. Aku pun tahu apa yang ia pikirkan. Ia yakin kalau aku adalah wanita yang kuat, wanita yang tidak akan jatuh walaupun ada badai yang menerpa, wanita yang mandiri dan tidak butuh belai kasih sayangnya, karena aku terlihat begitu tidak rapuh dan begitu sabar menghadapi segala sesuatu, seperti aku menghadapi dirinya dan segala ceritanya.
Ia tidak tahu betapa sulitnya aku bernafas ketika dia bercerita tentang Amanda. Ia tidak tahu betapa sulitnya aku mengembangkan senyumku ketika dia bercerita tentang wanita lainnya. Ia hanya tahu kalau aku adalah sahabat terbaiknya.
Aku, sahabat terbaiknya.
Jelas, Ia tidak bisa kehilangan diriku. Aku tahu itu.
Salahkah aku untuk meminta lebih kepadanya?
Hanya satu cinta yang aku minta.
Satu cinta untuk selamanya.

finally

Broken Wing

walaupun kelopak bunga ini udh ada patah, tapi entah kenapa menurut gue malah itu bagusnya bunga ini hehehe :D

Beberapa minggu yang lalu, ada sebuah kesempatan yang diberikan oleh seorang senior untuk gue dan teman2 photographer yang lain (cie photographer, sok amat haha) untuk foto di konser-nya Rossa. Awalnya sih gue pribadi mengira foto itu cuma pas konsernya aja. Eh ternyata, kita dapet kesempatan foto dari awal dia latian bareng sama orkestra dan artis pendukung lainnya.

nah coba deh, ada kesempatan foto Rossa dari jarak deket gini sih YAAMPUN JARANG BANGET DEH PASTI hahaha. sekali seumur hidup :D ini waktu dia lagi latian di GOR Ragunan dua hari menjelang konser.

Terus, besoknya ada jadwal latian langsung di panggung di JCC Senayan. Nggak kebayang aja sebelumnya, gue bisa mondar - mandir di depan JAY Soebiyakto sambil foto sana sini. Tapi sayangnya gue ga dapet kesempatan untuk foto dia close-up, maklum gue takut sama doi hahaha :p
ini foto dia waktu latian malem, di JCC sehari sebelum konser

Dan konsernya sangat - sangat lah menakjubkan. Gue sendiri heran, ternyata gue hafal lagu2nya Rossa. Dari hari dia latian, gue sambil foto tanpa sadar ikut nyanyi hahaha ;D tapi, seriously, that was incredible :)


Dan, oiya satu hal lagi gue dapet : ALL ACCESS :D
