"Benar memang ada semacam koreksi (Rapimnas khusus) bahwa opsi pertama, mencapreskan JK boleh saja dijalankan. Tapi yang dipentingkan opsi kedua, adalah Golkar membuka kemungkinan komunikasi dengan partai lain termasuk Partai Demokrat," kata Muladi saat ditemui wartawan di kantornya, Kebon Sirih, Jakarta, Senin-27/4/2009" (www.detik.com)

if 'opsi kedua' is more important than 'opsi pertama', then why didn't he state 'opsi kedua' as 'opsi pertama' ? *sighhhh*

Miss USA judge calls beauty queen 'C-word'
Openly homosexual blogger defaces contestant's photos, gives her 0 score
(By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily )
An openly homosexual blogger and judge of the Miss USA pageant has launched into a full-blown attack on Christian contestant Carrie Prejean – calling her a b-tch and a c---, as well as defacing photos of her with sexually explicit drawings – because she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.
At Sunday night's pageant, Prejean was asked the one question she dreaded most, "Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage; do you think every state should follow suit?"
Her answer, which suddenly has made her the center of both praise and scorn, included the words, "In my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be – between a man and a woman."
Prejean received some boos from the audience. As the contestants watched from backstage, the room was silent.
"A lot of people were shocked," Miss Vermont told Fox News. "We were all kind of giving each other those eyes, we couldn't believe it."
But, blogger and celebrity "judge" Perez Hilton, a self-described "queen of all media," immediately tore into Prejean in a YouTube video he made right after the contest's conclusion, calling her a "dumb b-tch" and claiming she had given "the worst answer in pageant history."
He admitted to giving Prejean a zero score.
In a follow-up interview on MSNBC, the flamboyant judge was asked if he had apologized for his reaction, but instead he added to it.
"I don't apologize," Hilton said on air. "Over the course of the past 24 hours, the more I've thought about it, the more – you know what? – No, I'm going to stand by what I said just like she's standing by what she said. And I called her the 'b' word, and hey, I was thinking the 'c' word."
Prejean, a student at San Diego Christian College, became as first runner-up, primarily due to Hilton's vote.
The outraged pageant judge later displayed a photo of Prejean speaking into the microphone on his website. In place of the mic, he drew a white outline of a penis entering her mouth.
Keith Lewis, executive director of Miss California USA/Teen USA, wrote a supportive letter to Hilton, condemning Prejean.
"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman," he wrote. "Although I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit, I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone. Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family."
Prejean, already crowned Miss California, was considered a front-runner in the Miss USA contest, but she knew her answer to that one question might not sit well with the panel, especially Hilton.
"Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one; I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage," Prejean told the Fox News Channel's Courtney Friel in an exclusive interview. "If I had any other question, I know I would have won."
Despite providing a response that ultimately cost her the crown, Prejean stood by her answer.
"I knew at that moment after I answered the question, I knew, I was not going to win because of my answer, because I had spoken from my heart, from my beliefs and for my God," she told NBC's "Today" this morning. "I wouldn't have answered it differently. The way I answered may have been offensive. With that question specifically, it's not about being politically correct. For me it was being biblically correct."
Hilton also appeared on NBC's "Today," explaining that he demands a Miss USA winner be "politically savvy," and that even though Prejean is a Christian, he doesn't want her "talking about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, because that's offensive."
A legal analyst told Fox news Prejean may have grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.
"It's her religious beliefs which prompted her to say 'I don't believe in same-sex marriages,'" analyst Mercedes Colwin said. "So she was espousing her beliefs," and has reason to sue for violation of Title VII, which prohibits discrimination based on religion.
Hilton's comments have drawn sharp reaction, even from those who might also disagree with Prejean's answer.
"I am an openly gay man and a supporter of same sex marriage and I wish Perez Hilton would shut up," writes syndicated talk show host Charles Karel Bouley in a column on Huffington Post. "This is a person who is famous for smearing snarky and crude things over celebrity photos and following Brittney's every move. He lives for controversy and is only famous for it."
However, celebrity Miley Cyrus sided with Hilton in a Twitter conversation.
"Ya that's lame!" the "Hannah Montana" star wrote. "God's greatest commandment is to love. And judging is not loving. That's why Christians have such a bad rep."
Heidi Montage and Britney Spears also came out in support of Hilton.
But concerned viewers and leading West Coast pro-family organization Save California have blasted the Miss Universe Organization for allowing Hilton to judge the event. Comments on Perez Hilton's Miss USA biography include the following:
- Shame on the Miss USA organization. This is absolutely your fault. This year, you have single handedly taken down the integrity of the Miss USA pageant and organization. How awful for the new Miss USA that she has had such hard earned glory taken away from her at this time because of the sick media storm that has risen due to the degrading treatment this man is giving to Miss California. I will not be watching next year.
- Trump should speak up. Otherwise, Carrie, my suggestion is a discrimination lawsuit
- I'm contacting my local cable carrier and requesting that they no longer carry VH1 where this fool resides.
- You were not a fair judge. Miss California should not have been given low scores for respecting the choices of all people and disclosing her own. If you can't respect opposing views, then you should not be a judge for any competition ever!
- Shame on you, Hilton. You are a bigot, and the pageant should fire you!

recent mob-phone gadget
just a quick comparation..
n95 is ugly.. yes, i 'hold' it for a while just now.
and it is not a matter at all to not talk about it :p
even blackberry storm looks stylish, its sms-keypad is annoyed!
worse points, it has no wi-fi..
and provides 3.2mp camera only *hare geneee*
fyi, htc diamond2 is much better than that.
apart from its rigid's square-shape,
it provides 5mp cams, cute dimensions & weights
htc touch pro2 also exotic.
a little bit bigger and offers the same specs, except its 3.2mp cams.
but it's the most sexiest and elegant model of htc newest familes.
e90, you're still the dream i am dreaming.
but since recent trend shows a 'touchy' gadgets,
it's somehow getting 'blur' on you.
finally..
my o2 atom exec is still my perfect one!
i just cleaned it up, and did remember how much does it cost.
(yes, it's my 1st gadget of my own salary, and it's cost-less !)
note:
however, i am indeed an 'open' person *wuahaha*

playoffs 2009 picture (1)
wooo.. finally the nba playoffs 2009 session has begun.
c'mon teams!!
here's the bracket in eastern conference:
for what i can predict, in round 1:
cavaliers wont have any difficulties to meet hawks, while magic will see celtics most likely.
in western conference, it's a bit difficult to guess. but i'd say lakers shall meet blazzers, while spurs will against nuggets in other semifinal.
for round 2 (though it is still too early to guess): cavs and celtics, lakers and nuggets
and in the final : cavaliers vs lakers! (am i sure?)
well, we'll see then!
as this post is written, cavs, mavs, and bulls has won their first game!
but if you asked my 'subjectivity', i'll go for jazz for the champion.

deciphering a note
"Few persons can be made to believe that it is not quite an easy thing to invent a method of secret writing which shall baffle investigation.
Yet it may be roundly asserted that human ingenuity cannot concoct a cipher which human ingenuity cannot resolve..."
(Edgar Alan Poe - "A Few Words On Secret Writing", 1841)
geee.. i believe, there's should be an easy way to write those sentences.. -.-
*minutes of contemplating on deciphering a lecture note*

my day today
morning
wake up.. arrgh.. noooo... today is the day!!
yes.. the last lab assignment of this semester! huah, a bit pessimistic.. yes, i was!
my groupmate (Mr. B) and i havent started it yet, even a single bit.. huuu..
i cleaned & tidied up my lovely-softy bed (yes, it is !), took a shower, put a normal-casual-gear on, and.. took a pear & tomato from the fridge!
(fyi, my 'condition' now is much-much-much better than my previous one)
it felt 'different' -you know- having fruits for breakfast.. cold and fresh !
but why.. i still could not help not having another breakfast *saussage mc-muffin* :D
however.. lucky i had one, because the lab thing consumed my time until 5pm!!
afternoon
on the break of doing the lab, Mr. B told me that he would sign some kind of contract with his ex-landlord this evening.
e: huh? ex? what's for?
b: yeah, they can't afford to pay me back my deposit money in cash, so we made an agreement to resolve this thing.
e: hah?
b: yes, they proposed to re-pay it by credit each month.
e: each month?? how much?
b: a hundred bucks each month, for the next 9 months.
huah.. at that point, i felt sorry to hear that.
it's not for him, but the landord !
9 months to pay the deposit back..?? can you imagine their economic situation? and he also told me that they have 4 children, and are having their fifth..
well, i salute you my friend by 'helping' them. i know you dislike them (i remembered once or two / three times they 'annoyed' you). but yes, i think you did a right thing ! :)
evening
i went back home and found my house-owner just arrived from their holiday.
and you know what made me happy? Celeste still awake!! *haha*
(who is she, by the way?? *hihi* well, i promise me, and you, and all of you.. once i were be able to take a pic with her, i'll post it :D )
of course, i said 'hello' to Ms. Y (Celes's mom).. she's very nice lady, though !
anddddd..yess..sure..obviously.. i said hello too to Celes.. *hihi*
buttttt.. whyyyyyyyyyyyy.. Celes just stared at me with blank sight.. standing on her feet to freeze.. *i was totally disappointed*
Mr. T (her father) told her to say, "c'mon.. say hello to koko"
but still.. no response from her..
she just slightly walked away to upstairs holding his father's hand.. T_T
(maybe felt guilty on her daughter's attitude) Ms. Y 'scolded' her (in a funny way), "haiyaaahhh.. you forget him already haaaaa..?" *i guess so.. hiks.. wakakakk.. *
andddd...finallyy..suddenly.. i heard Celes' voice, shouted very loud, "helloo kokoooo!!"
*do you think she made fun of me? huahua*

stupid written-procedure
"You are required to complete this form and submit it to Associate Chair (Research)’s office at least 2 weeks in advance for updating of leave record before forwarding to your supervisor for recommendation"
but when i submitted to the office, the officer(o) said, "you should get permission from your supervisor first, ok?"
e: but it is written there, i need to go here first
o: [he talked so 'fast' i can barely catch his words.. the point is, i should go to my supervisor before going here]
e: certainly i did talk to him, and he agree with it. but i read here *pointing to the sentences again* to go here initialy
o: [cang cing cung larr.. cang cing cung larrr..] --> [just see your supervisor and get him signed the form then you go back here !!]
(^$(!)*&#)($*!^?!_(&(^!!?
so what's the point of writing those instruction? haiyahhh..
however, the officer is a nice person. i can sense it from the way he acts (previously and now). i guess he just following the (stupid) 'procedure' made of those 'intelligent-policymakers'. and, bluntly i say, i depreciate those 'clever-people'.

i sought him, but i found him not
"..I sought him, but I found him not.." (Song of Solomon 3:1)
Tell me where you lost the company of Christ,
and I will tell you the most likely place to find Him.
It is a true proverb, "Look for a thing where you dropped it, it is there."
So look for Christ where you lost Him, for He has not gone away.
But it is hard work to go back for Christ. Bunyan tells us, the pilgrim found the piece of the road back to the Arbour of Ease, where he lost his roll, the hardest he had ever travelled. Twenty miles onward is easier than to go one mile back for the lost evidence. Take care, then, when you find your Master, to cling close to Him.
But how is it you have lost Him? One would have thought you would never have parted with such a precious friend, whose presence is so sweet, whose words are so comforting, and whose company is so dear to you! How is it that you did not watch Him every moment for fear of losing sight of Him? Yet, since you have let Him go, what a mercy that you are seeking Him, even though you mournfully groan, "O that I knew where I might find Him!"
Go on seeking, for it is dangerous to be without thy Lord! Without Christ you are like a sheep without its shepherd; like a tree without water at its roots; like a sere leaf in the tempest--not bound to the tree of life. With thine whole heart seek Him, and He will be found of thee: only give thyself thoroughly up to the search, and verily, thou shalt yet discover Him to thy joy and gladness.
(by CH Spurgeon)

Tell me where you lost the company of Christ,
and I will tell you the most likely place to find Him.
Have you lost Christ in the closet by restraining prayer?
Then it is there you must seek and find Him.
Did you lose Christ by sin?
You will find Christ in no other way but by the giving up of the
sin, and seeking by the Holy Spirit to mortify the member in which the lust doth dwell.
Did you lose Christ by neglecting the Scriptures?
You must find Christ in the Scriptures.
Then it is there you must seek and find Him.

it is well with my soul
The hymn, “It is Well with My Soul” is one of the most popular Christian hymns, composed by Horatio Gates Spafford (1828–1888).
When Spafford was forty-three years old as a Chicago businessman, he suffered financial disaster in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. He and his wife were still grieving over the death of their son shortly before the fire, and he realized they needed to get away for a vacation.
Knowing that their friend Dwight L. Moody was going to be preaching in evangelistic campaigns in England that fall, Spafford decided to take the entire family to England. His wife and four daughters went ahead by a ship, and he planned to follow in a few days. Nevertheless, on the Atlantic Ocean, an iron sailing vessel struck the ship and the ship sank within twelve minutes. Two hundred and twenty-six lives were lost—including the Spaffords’ four daughters.
When the survivors were brought to shore at Cardiff, Wales, Mrs. Anna Spafford cabled her husband with two words: “Saved alone.” Spafford booked passage on the next ship. As they were crossing the Atlantic, the captain pointed out the place where he thought the first ship had gone down.
That night, Spafford penned the words of the hymn:
when peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
it is well, it is well, with my soul.
though satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control,
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and hath shed His own blood for my soul.
and Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
even so, it is well with my soul.

satu hari bersamamu
Seorang laki-laki bernama Charley yang ingin segera mengakhiri hidupnya, tapi dia gagal. Dan di ujung kegagalannya itu tiba-tiba dia bertemu kembali dengan ibunya yang meninggal delapan tahun silam. Masalahnya, Charley pernah ‘memilih’ untuk tidak menjadi anak mama, tapi anak papa (walaupun sang ayah tetap pergi meninggalkannya). Sekarang bagaimana Charley harus menghadapi ibunya yang menyambutnya seolah tak pernah terjadi apa-apa?Kisah tentang seorang ibu dan anak laki-lakinya, atau lebih tepat lagi, kasih sayang seorang ibu dan kesempatan seorang anak untuk mempunyai satu hari lagi bersama sang ibu. Seperti yang bisa ditebak, pembaca akan diajak untuk flash-back ke kehidupan Charley kecil, di mana ia harus/tidak sengaja ‘menolak’ ibunya, dan yang lebih mengharukan lagi, bagaimana ibu Charley tetap menyayangi Charley.
Tidak banyak yang bisa Mr.E ceritakan di sini, hanya ada 2 kesimpulan setelah membaca buku ini:
Pertama, bagi para ibu.. banggalah akan dirimu sendiri!!
Kedua, bagi para anak-anak.. ketahuilah betapa besar keinginan seorang ibu melihat engkau dilahirkan; dan betapa akan tetap sayangnya ibumu terhadap engkau, bahkan ketika engkau berlaku tidak semestinya kepada mereka.
Bagi Mr. E sendiri, dari 2 buku Mitch Albom yang sebelumnya (Five People You Meet in Heaven & Tuesday with Morie), buku ini lebih menyenangkan untuk dibaca dan direnungkan. Para wanita dipastikan akan menyukai buku ini. Dan para non-wanita, kalian pun seharusnya juga membaca buku ini !

1st of april
i tried to dig something about the origin of 'april mop':
version 1:
The most convincing historical evidence suggests that April Fool’s Day originated in France in 1582, under King Charles IX. With the reform of the old Julian calendar by Pope Gregory XIII, the King ordered that the new year festivities associated with the vernal equinox be moved to January first according to the new Gregorian calendar. The vernal equinox celebrations started 25 March and lasted for a week, culminating in great dinners, parties and gift giving on 1 April. Many French men resisted the change and continued their annual ‘Pagan’ revelry on 1 April. They were mocked and ridiculed for persisting in their old ways, receiving fictitious invitations to non-existing parties.
another version:
An English newspaper article published on April 13th, 1789 said that the day had its origins when he sent the raven off too early, before the waters had receded. He did this on the first day of the Hebrew month that corresponds with April.
but, what i scare most is people don't bother listening to you on that day (even you're telling the truth). here's a example of it:
The April 1, 1946 Aleutian Island earthquake tsunami that killed 165 people in Hawaii and Alaska resulted in the creation of a tsunami warning system (specifically the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre), established in 1949 for Pacific Ocean countries. The tsunami in question is known in Hawaii as the "April Fools' Day Tsunami" due to people drowning because of the assumptions that the warnings were an April Fools' prank.
and also it's written:
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
. . . . . . . .
so, tell me..
do you think, are we 'allowed' to tell a lie on 1st of april?
i, my self, would say, NO !
to tell a lie is a lie..
and to tell a lie on purpose, that counts to double lies :D
and besides, i dont think it's funny either way when you're adding, "it's a joke!!!"
