All About Creating The New Province : Madura

The declaration of a new province called Madura has been started for 6 months before the judicial review which scheduled to be held in this year. Madura has been issued to be new province since the beginning of 2016 but until this article was published, their capability still calls into doubt. The creation of new province in Indonesia is a classical issue which has so many cons, particularly from the current provinces or the other regions. As a Javanese who has Maduranese bloodline, I personally think that it's not a good idea. Even though there are many advantages of being a new province, the risk and disadvantages need to be considered. In this post, I will share my personal opinion about this issue.

The Risk and Disadvantages
1. If the facilities were not provided equally, it couldn't stabilize its governmental system quickly.
2. It's triggering the other region to create another new province. It can be very dangerous for the country.
3. The economic policy of Madura still based on East Java, leaving Java means new economic policy
4. They will hire the new workers (governor, staffs, officials, etc) it means that Indonesia has to spend (more) money than it has to be.

 Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will the demand for creation of new provinces stop at the creation of Madura Province?
answer : I'm not sure, but I think it's just the beginning. It won't stop as long as the central government doesn't have an absolute rule for this. 
 
2. Will a series of such demands not be dangerous for the country?
answer : It's very dangerous, it will create virulent ethnicity
 
3. Will the creation of such new provinces not lead to the bankruptcy of the country?
answer : I'm not sure, it depends on the new province performance

4. How much expenditure more will be required to run these new provinces?
answer : Based on the data from Service Delivery and Financial Management of New Province in 2007 (Gorontalo). A new province spent 1,5 bn/years with growing rate around 0,2 bn/years since 2007. It will cost Rp 3,700,000,000,000 in 2017 only for government administration.

If It's Realized, What They Have to Do?

As the new province, Madura has to develop and manages the entire cities in the island then classify the cities into a system that based on its natural resources. Just remember, Madura doesn't consist of downtown or metropolitan area. It's only medium island with hundreds of small island which surrounded by the ocean. So what they need the most is developing their maritime sector.

Listen !

Sometimes I get myself too hard by thinking about the daily article content in my blog. It makes me slower and not productive. Until someday I realize that :

“Hey dude, everything you wrote here is not pieces of poem or novel, stop overthinking bout it”

Alright, now we know the solution. The best result is not always the perfect one. Don’t waste our time by doing nothing because of one unresolved problem. Get deal with it and moving on.


 

Never Follow Your Desire, Just Follow Your Heart

Every person always want to start the day with happiness. Doing every little thing that can make them feel happy. Such as enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning, having a conversation with someone they love, watching tv together with their family, etc. But while we get the happiness, we forget if some of us, somewhere outside is never have the same chance. Ignoring, is the only reason why we can't get the true of happiness. 

What is the true meaning of happiness. Smiling or laughing? No, that's only our expression for a short time. When we stop smiling and laughing, we can't get the happiness anymore. Because smiling and laughing won't stay longer. As a human, we never feel enough with ourself. Feel sad and disappointed when we can't get what we want. Get jealous on someone's achievement but we pretend to be happy for them. We never get enough because we set our life just like a perfect masquerade. Not like it supposed to be.

One of My Hobbies : Eating

I like to post many foods in my path recently. Every kind of foods started from the veggies, fruit, protein, till dairy food. I always take the picture right before I eat the food by visiting some restaurants or food stalls. I begin the “feeding frenzy” up to 21.00 PM or sometime in the middle of the night when everyone is too lazy to get out from their bed. My purposes are to fill my stomach, to review the food stalls or the restaurants that I visit, and to share my culinary experience. So far, I have a lot of respond about it. There are so many questions which my friends asked me about. They ask me why I like to eat so many food, did I have food allergy, how much money that I spend on culinary tour, what food that I like or hate the most, and one of my favorite question “Why I can’t be fat?”

In order to answer all of the questions, I write the answer from the first to the last question.

Why I like to eat so many foods

Eating is one of my hobbies. I usually eat the meal four or six times a day, rarely to be three times a day like the normal person. It will be eight or nine times if the snack was included on it. If you ask me why, well... I just like doing it, it’s kinda a bad habit for me.

Did I have food allergy

Luckily, I don’t have any allergy relate with food. Even though I’m pretty sure that I can eat everything but I confine myself with some kind of food. Such as instant food and snack which contain MSG or its equivalent.

How much money that I spend on the culinary tour

I don’t know exactly. But according to the Guy Principle, it said that “when we get the menu, look at the price first then we can choose the food”. But sometimes I forget about it.

What food that I like or hate the most

I love squid and octopus but I hate fish, especially undercooked fish like sashimi

Why I can’t get fat

I avoid some food which contains so many carbohydrates. But it doesn’t mean that I never eat any starchy food. I have the responsibility for my food and keep the healthy food as my choice. Rarely eat food which has so much fatty acid (maybe only 2 times in a week) and prefer low sugar drinks (likes Lenten Tea) and beverages to the sweet one. Another tip is by doing an exercise, I usually have jogging for 20-40 minutes in the morning.

My Social Media Life

2 years ago I started to blogging as hobby. I hated Facebook but wanted a way to keep in touch with friends & family. I used my facebook just to share my knowledge about science and food, some  recipes & restaurant recommendations. I have ask.fm account but nobody ask me again since i leaved it for several month. Yes, I dumped my followers. Twitter? I have twitter but I never checked it again after Obama announced that he was using his executive powers to unilaterally impose immigration reform. 

I don’t really like social media. I know if It’s gonna good for some purposes. But it could be harmfull for our generation if they re become addict. Many of peoples be anti-social because of it, just in my opinion. Smartphone and dump people, such an irony nowadays. That’s why my father doesn’t allow my family to turn on their smartphone on breakfast, lunch or even dinner time. I lost so much precious time with my family because of it and it can be happened to you. So from now on, turn off your smartphone and live as normal person. Have a good day ! 

nb : I dont have any idea why i should post that pict :)

Dissatisfaction in Our Life

Almost eight months ago, when I was in LKMM Pra-TD. There is one of college student asked me about dissatisfaction, what the reason of it and how to deal with it. For several months I had thinking of it. But I never had any time to wrote down my answer. Now, I will answer that question based on what I 've know about its contra which called 'Satisfaction'.

In my life, I’ve never met anybody who was fully satisfied with his or her situation, condition, position, relations, health, wealth, or possessions. The poor are hankering to be rich, and the rich want to be richer. An overweight person wants to lose weight, and a thin person wants to gain a few pounds of meat to get fatter. Married couples think that it is better to remain single, and single person are dying to find a partner. The East looks towards the West, and the West is enamored by the East. People in villages dream to come and live in the cities, and city dwellers cherish the simple and calm village life.

Why Dissatisfaction Exists

Dissatisfaction exists for a reason. The reason is to spur the individual to attain the ultimate purpose of human life, it can be refer to human’s final goals. This dissatisfaction does not and never appear in the other species. The myriad creatures of the world like my cats seem completely content if their basic needs of food and shelter are satisfied. It’s only humans who are never satisfied. No matter how good our situations may be and no matter what things we possess, we eventually become bored and begin seeking change.

The True Solution

I think there’s only one process to end this dissatisfaction. It states that a person who has faith in God is devoted to their God, and has control over his senses to attains the true knowledge, persons who knows the difference between science and religion. Having attained true knowledge, such a person attains supreme peace without delay. On the otherhand, persons who is ignorant of the sense of God, or another persons who is faithless and doubtful, will get lost. Persons like that won't happy at all, neither happy in this life nor after death.

Design your life. Start from now.

Most of us don’t design our lives properly. We get caught up in the momentum of living — school, college, relationships, family and career — and turn around one day to realize we ’ve ended up someplace we never intended to go.

Life is serendipitous, because sometimes we get places we couldn’t have imagined if we didn’t known where we were headed. But sometimes we realize that we ‘re living the life we ‘re supposed to be living instead of the life we want to be living. Sometimes, we realize that we’ve left important parts of ourselves behind. feel that our life is too small for us, at last we realize that our life is too confined.

How can I say something like that? I‘m not a philosopher who may have thinking so far about life #the-hee. Its just because I already have it done. I think there is no true or wrong in what we do in our life. Life is such a difficult conspiracy, right? Sometimes, you think so wrong when you have done something good, or maybe sometimes you think so much better even you have done something bad.

Okay now lets we talk about good things which happening recently in my life. 3 days ago I’ve asked to be head of ministry of home affairs in my faculty department. Such a good thing that Ive ever heard in this semester. Because I never asked to be like that before. We know that, normally there‘s a little complicated recruitment to reach that position, right? But Ive asked for this position, what a miracle #meh, I feel so blessed for that.

Life is so complicated. You may feel pain inside of your happiness or maybe the otherwise. But life always have it own ways to show you which is better for you. Everyone’s ‘right life’ is different, which is why the social pathways that herd everyone in the same direction don’t work for so many people.

When your life is well-designed, it’s inspiring. It’s utterly you. It includes all the disparate parts of your heart #okay its too dramatic. But seriously, when your life is well-designed, you’re grounded in the confidence of shining your true light into the world. When your life is well-designed, you can do everything.

  

True Meaning of Togetherness

Do you remember about my Aidil Fitri article?
In that article I have describe Aidil Fitri as a yearly moment, a rare moment about being together with our family. After I watch these video, I realize the true meaning of togetherness. Its not about how many people, who have to attend or how much fun do we have, but it's about how to appreciate that special moment.



Have you imagine or have you ever asked yourself,

"What will you do if you don't have any relatives?"

You will feel so much pain, won't you?. It's easy to think that we have a plenty time in our live when we think that we still young. but it's really hard to believe that everyone in our life may leave us
without saying good bye to us.

Truthfully...
My heart feel like slapped after watch this video. I have everyone in my life.
But How I appreciate them? They won't exist forever.
It was our first and last chance in this world, fellas.
