Cross - Cultural

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 10:57 AM comments (0)

 Are you ever had a same problem like the picture above? If you ever had the same problem it's mean that you are facing a cross - cultural. It usually happen to us who go to the foreign country and  it happen because the culture from our country is different with the country that we visit. At the first we will be very confuse with that, for example in Europe and America we have to drive on the right side. But, in my country Indonesia we have to drive on the left side, so if people from Europe or America come to Indonesia they prefer take a taxi, by foot, or find a tour guide. Next example is in China or India people not shaking hand if they meet with others different from America and even in Indonesia. Now, there are positive and negative impact from this Cross - Cultural problem. The negative one is if you can't adapt well in your new neighbor or if you travel to the foreign country you will fell alone and always try to make a imaginary wall so the local people can't come near you. It's wrong why you came to the foreign country? some of you maybe for a vacation, others for a business travel, and others to stay and live in that new place. Whatever you reason you still have to adapt well in that new location. Are you really will enjoy your trip to that new place if you always think that your culture is different? no, you will become frustration and just want to go back as soon as possible to your own country.
The positive one, if you can adapt well you will enjoy your journey in there you can meet they local handcraft, see their traditional dancing, eat their traditional food, and many more. So try to enter the culture if you visit other country if you want to enjoy their treasure.

Religions In The World

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 6:08 PM comments (4)


Religions, yes what is religions? For me personally religion only a way to reach the God. There are so many ways to reach the God that's why there is so many religions in this world. People belief what they think it's right. If they  believe that there are no God so they don't need religion but, for the people who believe that God is exist they need religion. Now, I will try to tell you the big four religion in this world there are Christian, Islam, Hindu, and Buddha.


First, I want to tell you what I know about Hindu. Hindu is the oldest religion in this world. Hinduism as a religion has no known individual creator, as it was put together from a variety of traditional beliefs from different cultures and mythologies. It is now the third largest religion in the world. Almost all India people are Hindu. that's why they don't eat beef because they believe that cow is a sacred animal and most of Hindu people are vegetarian because they were taught to love other creatures.


The second is Buddha, Buddha is the second oldest religion after Hindu, similar like Hindu the people that belief in Buddha are not allow to eat animal because they believe that animal also have a right to live and they also still believe in reincarnation. Buddha is very similar like Hindu, one thing that make Hindu and Buddha different only the Gods name that they pray in Buddha there is Kwam in goddess and Siddhartha Gautama but, in Hindu there is Shiva, Wisnu, and Brahma.

The third religion is Islam. most of all people in middle east are Muslim people. But, I think Muslim people are in every country because Islam is the biggest religion in this world.

The last and the youngest religion is Christian. Most of all people in western country is Christian. There are two kinds of Christian, one is Roman Catholic and the other are protestant.

Mirror

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 3:56 PM comments (1)




Mirror, yup that is the tittle for this post. Why mirror?because it is use to see our reflection. But, in the reality only a few people have a mirror in their heart. Most of people that don't have a mirror in their heart always think that they are the best, they are perfect but others no,and they can do anything in this world. Most all the people think like that and that's include me. Why we can think like that? try to see the reality in this world no one is perfect every people need someone at their side. But, only a few people realize that. The people that successful to see a mirror in their heart that nobody perfect and every people have their own ability. In other case some people didn't admit that they have a weakness they are to selfish to say " I need other people to help me " their ego is controlling them and make they think that if I always get a help from others they will underestimate me. So, let's act though and make myself looks perfect.
That is the reason why there are a lot of people out there that like to think positively about themselves but negatively about the other. They are shy to accept that they are a second grade that always need others help.
I hope all the people in the world are like this little girl above. She is not afraid to see her own reflection on the mirror, she not afraid to admit that she have a weakness and need everybody help. Live like a child make all the people in the world open their mind to accept that they need other people help and that nobody is perfect.

Stereotype. Good or Bad?

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 4:10 PM comments (4)

What is stereotype?For me stereotype is a way of thinking that every single person have their own group and place. For example brunette, blonde, Caucasian,  Negro, Asian and etc... and what I can think is stereotype have a positive and negative impact in our daily life. Believe or not stereotype is happen in anywhere and everywhere. When you meet a person and call him/her with their skin color or with their body size we already made a stereotype.
The positive side from a stereotype is that we can know in which group we are. Like in the picture above, we can stay in our group that have same style with us. Can you imagine if there are no stereotype maybe a kid can join adult group that like to drink alcohol. But, in addition that we not discriminate the other groups. We must care with other groups like we care with our own group.

This is the negative impact from a stereotype and for me personally I really hate this too. Same like the picture above I'm Asian but I hate math, I hate to count is that wrong? Many people think that Asian is good in math and like to become a merchant but I'm not want to be a merchant and I hate math. Other example is many people think that terrorists religion is Islam so the person that is Muslim are a  terrorist. It's wrong we can't said like that. Not all Muslim people is terrorist we can't judge that and can't you guarantee that only Muslim people is terrorist? We must change our way of thinking all people are same God made us to help each other and to think that we all  the God's hand made why we must think that each person is different. We must change our way of thinking, every people is same, we breath on the same air, live in the same planet, and we all the God's hand made, so what is the different??

I also think that different is good. Can you imagine if all people in the world have same skin color, same hobby, same interest, same body size, and all the same, same and, same? Just try to imagine how if all the people in the world think the same things, and want to do the same activity at one time........

Song from my hometown

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 8:35 PM comments (0)

hello guys, today I got a task from my teacher in ICEE. She asked us to write down a famous Indonesia traditional song, but I'm confuse right now because Indonesia have so many traditional songs from "Sabang" until "Marauke"they have they own traditional song.....But, it's okay I will try to write down a traditional song from my own province, Palembang, South Sumatera it's called "gending Sriwijaya". This song is shown up whenPalembang is still a kingdom called "Sriwijaya Kingdom" this song is a sacred song and only be used to greet a visitor from the outside. When Palembang born this song only be used to welcome a guest from other province or other country. But, nowadays this song always been used in wedding ceremony. Okay I think I only know a little about this traditional song. So,here is the lyrics :


"Gending Sriwijaya"
Di kala ku merindukan keluhuran dulu kala
Kutembangkan nyanyian lagu Gending Sriwijaya
Dalam seni kunikmat lagi bahagia Indonesia
Kuciptakan kembali dari kandungan Sang Maha Kala
Sriwijaya dengan Asrama Agung Sang Maha Guru
Tutur sabda Dharmapala sakya Khirti dharma khirti
Berkumandang dari puncaknya Siguntang Maha Meru
Menaburkan tuntunan suci Gautama Buddha sakti.


Borobudur candi pusaka di jaman Sriwijaya
Saksi luhur berdiri teguh kokoh sepanjang masa
Memahsyurkan Indonesia di daratan se-Asia
Melambangkan keagungan sejarah Nusa dan Bangsa
Taman Sari berjenjangkan emas perlak Sri Kesitra
Dengan kalam pualam bagai di Sorga Indralaya
Taman puji keturunan Maharaja Syailendra
Mendengarkan iramanya lagu Gending Sriwijaya.
If you want to hear the song, here I put the video bellow :
and, here is the traditional dance using gending sriwijaya song :
(sorry it takes a long time before the dancing because the presenters tell the history of this song and dancing first before it's start. I hope you will enjoy it...^^ )

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 2:45 PM comments (3)

I got something interested from ICEE it's to make a poem. I never make a poem before especially in English, but I will try it. I will make a love poem  for someone special in my heart. If I make a lot mistakes I'm very sorry, because like I said before it's my first time and for me it's a challenge and of course I will take the challenge. So let's begin...^^

Just For You
A year have passed away since you with me
A year that we spent together with joy and tear
A year that we have been trough together; just you and me
A very special moment that I can't forget

No one understand what we feel each other
No one can't see what our dreams are
No one can't hear our joy and tear
only us and the world know these

My love for you not deep like a sea
My love for you not big like a mountain
My love for you not tall like a Eiffel tower
But, My love for you just like a small hair
It will always grow in your heart
I make this poem special for you my princess , hope you will like it. For the others who read this poem also I want to say sorry if i make a lot of mistake this is my first time but i do hope that you will enjoy it.....

Nobody's Perfect.......

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 10:36 AM comments (2)

Nobody is perfect in this world. I think everybody have the same idea like me right?? But, in some condition we still can forget about this sentence. We often hate our partner because their weakness and sometimes we like to think that we want to find other partner that have similar ability like us and a lot of people think that this problem only happen with our boy/girl friend. No it's absolutely wrong if you think like that. This problem can be in anywhere, at the office, school, college, sports teams, and many more. But we don't realize that the difference is a proof that we are still alive, the difference show us that nobody is perfect in this world, and the difference tell us that each person is unique and have their own specialty. I got this idea after i watched kamen rider movie or masked rider in English I think..^^
and if you want to know how is the masked rider look like, here it is :
Maybe some of you that don't understand why there is two people but only one rider?yup, this rider is combined from two people. They have to be work as a team to defeat the enemy if one of them can't transform so the other one can't do it too. Why I said nobody's perfect? in one of episode from this movie the green side become more powerful from the black side, and as a result they can't transform into a rider. So, the green side think that he need new partner that as strong as him. But, suddenly he realize that nobody's perfect, he realize that his partner have something special " gentle " not only strong and fast, the rider must have a gentle heart. That's why he accept his friend weakness and turn it into new power to defeat the enemy.
What I want to say is " we live in this world not for search someone perfect, but to find someone that can make us become perfect because nobody is perfect, each person have their own specialty "
That's all for today and thank you very much for your time that you have spent to read my blog I really appreciate it.

World

Posted by Dart_Leonhart on 7:14 PM comments (5)


" The world is too much with us "
The world is too much with us; late and soon
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon ( terrible exchange )!

This world is too valuable for me. Because, I live and stay on this world, if the world is gone I don't know where I must live and stay. The meaning of the world itself is our planet, Earth.
Yes, for me I have given my heart away for the wrong things. I prefer use motorcycle  than  a bike or feet, I prefer use modern technology than traditional ones, and I prefer live like this than the traditional ones. I realize that what I choose makes our earth sick and crying. But, I can't change it all the people around the world choose to live comfortably with a lot of modern technology around them so it's make life more simple and easy same like me. Yes, I realize that I have given my heart away to the wrong things. But, I can't deny it also that I enjoy it and slowly I make the earth uglier.
The reason now is why I choose to live like this? Why I have to make the earth suffer? To be honest and from the bottom of my heart, I don't know why I prefer live like this than the one that live peacefully with earth not destroy it.
I'm sorry Earth me and a lot of people always make you cry. Forgive us
