BLOG
dari beberapa perbincangan dengan teman", salah satu topiknya, kenapa kita menulis blog
hasilnya, uummmm semua bertahan dengan pendapat sendiri", menurut saya pribadi, beberapa di antaranya adalah:
1. saya ingin belajar menulis. To be honest, I don't know how to write :(. I know but I often confuse to express it to text :P, kalau menulispun, ada yang tidak mengerti apa yang saya tulis. butuh waktu untuk mencerna kata mereka. hiks hiks...terlalu banyak yang mau saya tulis jadinya 'ngaco'
kalau kata teman", mulut lebih cepat dari otak, atau kebalikannya yah? *lupa hahahaha*...dan sekarang nambah satu lagi, tangan lebih cepat dari otak. gawat juga.
2. dari blog kita bisa dapat temen baru, kenalan, atau mencoba masuk dalam tulisan yang ingin disampaikan oleh orang lain. belajar 'membaca' orang mungkin salah satu kata yang tepat. kita juga bisa menebak bagaimana kepribadian orang dari tulisan mereka. I found a friend from blog, ternyata kita memiliki kesamaan interest dan saya banyak bertanya untuk bisa sampai stage dimana Beliau lebih dulu masuk ke dalamnya..(for Mas Luigi...thanks for inspiring)
3. melalui blog, kita bisa sharing atau diskusi mengenai banyak topik yang berbeda, dan bagaimana orang" menanggapi issue" tersebut. hal ini lebih keliatan dari komentar yang berbeda-beda untuk blog yang kita posting...
4. tapi dari blog...'rahasia' kita kadang terbongkar juga ^_^....secara tidak langsung terutama lebih kepada apa yang sedang kita pikirkan saat ini, atau apa yang jadi concern. ada yang sering bilang malas membaca blog karena isinya 'curhatan' saja. sebenarnya tergantung dari mana kita melihat bentuk 'curhatan' itu sendiri, kalau memang bermutu, kenapa tidak?
5. arus trend blog mungkin juga salah satu alesan mengapa kita membuat blog, bisa jadi juga kan?
itu beberapa dari banyak alasan kita membuat blog, semua punya alasan tersendiri bukan?
tapi lepas dari semua itu...saya mengagumi orang yang bisa menulis. tidak mesti tulisan ilmiah. bentuk tulisan apapun itu.
yang membuat saya salut adalah cara mereka menterjemahkan apa yang sedang mereka pikirkan dan akan mereka sampaikan kepada orang lain melalu tulisan. dan mereka menyampaikannya dengan baik, sampai orang yang membacanyapun tidak mau berhenti sebelum tulisan itu berakhir.
satu yang saya ingat, orang pintar belum tentu bisa menulis, tapi orang yang bisa menulis (yang bermutu) dan enak dibaca pasti pintar....
well, perjalanan saya menjadi seorang penulis memang masih jauh, untuk saat ini mungkin tulisan saya terbatas untuk konsumsi pribadi saja ...semoga saya bisa sampai ke sana yach....way to go, tin... :)

The Child Learns, The Child Teaches….
Having read several books about how certain teacher teaches their students and working together with some good teachers, I learn something about the way how we teach children
From what they have experience I learn how to a better teacher than what I am now. I value the joy of teaching and learning; being their part of life, giving something that they’ve never seen before…and hearing the ‘AHAAAAA…’ mumbling reaction in the class is something I treasure every time I’m in the class...it's like we show them something huge...something they don't imagine and something that only 'adult' know (that's what they always say every time they say ahaaaaaa...) hahhaa....it's really interesting...
I learn how to spend more time observing, listening and interact with children from Juanita V. Copley, one of committees in NCEYC (National Council of Education Young Children ? an organisation that concerns about young children education)
She has been teaching for more than 26 years. In some stages, the children’s strategies made the most different in her teaching. Their interests changed the scope of teaching content, or their particular strengths or weakness changed the sequence of instruction instead.
A long journey in her teaching has been influenced by most of her students. They have taught, given her many ideas, and broadened her beliefs about teaching.
She learned something from Timmy.
Timmy was a child with whom teachers found it difficult to work. He has shown a very short attention span and little promise in almost all subjects in the class. Juanita admitted him to a special program for ‘slow learners’
She did not have time to relate with Timmy, until one day she had him in her class. To keep him busy, she gave him a large box of electrical equipment from the sixth – grade electricity unit – such as batteries, switches, wire, and small light bulbs. Timmy was asked to sort the box’s contents as she walked out for a while.
She was really surprised after she walked into the room. Do you know what she found? Timmy had created a working electrical system, six bulbs were lit, three switches were built-in, and within the connection he had produced series and parallel circuits
She then listened to Timmy explaining about how he created such thing, which was much more than anything she could make.
What had Timmy taught Juanita?
He taught her an importance of spending time to observe, listen, and watch children. Being their friend unconditionally.
Pay attention to what they like, listen to their reasoning, ask them to explain their creation, challenge them with tasks that seem impossible, and give them opportunity to show us what they can do in their own way…it is one of the way to be a better teacher..
The other thing I learn from Erin. She was my mentor at one of child care centres when I had working experience last semester. She told me that ‘Never had favourites in class’ policy also helps us to be fair and objective as a teacher.
She had experience from Kyle
Kyle is a quiet and compliant girl. She seldom volunteered in class yet she never caused problems, never showed any particular gift for certain subjects in class.
At the end of the year, she asked each child to give her a report card for being a teacher. What do you think she got?
To her surprise, Kyle handed her a note with her own spelling stated,
‘Erin, you were real good with the dumd kids. They needed you and you halped them. You were real good with smart kids. You always keeped them buzy, but you should do better with the plane kids like me. I need to learn to! Luv, Kyle’
Yes….Kyle was right, she made Erin realized that she spent most of her time with the special children and she had ignored the ‘plain’ kids like Kyle.
And again, this experience also told me REMEMBER THAT EVERY CHILD IS IMPORTANT AND SPECIAL…never have favourites!!!!
It is my job to do my best as their teacher, for those special gifted children, those who need concentrated help to overcome difficulties, and those quiet, plain who also HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEARN….
The other thing (I would pack in this to three things which I consider are the most important…actually all things that each child teaches and says to us is important...both of us...teacher and students…we learn and teach at the same time :P)
This is my own experience…I know I’m lack of patience. I always want things running exactly as I planned, fast and perfect. I want all children to do things neat, clean and tidy. Although I’m often told that the more children got dirt on their clothes, the more they learn and enjoy their time in school…remember that the first thing to make children feel comfortable is to make them like school
I am only human. And I’m far from being normal and focus….till I face this...
We had our own lesson plan each week; our theme is about Science for that week.
Dylan is fond of earthworms. He spent countless hours only for observing them, starring at the story books for the whole day. During the week, he became obsessed with finding the earthworms’ eyes.
I was so tired of answering his questions, such as, ‘Look, they got eyes, they can see’ or ‘they blink their eyes, they move…look….come on…you have to see them moving…’ bla bla bla bla…
He kept asking for more and bigger magnifiers…
At the same time, I also need to explain and move through other activities for the day…I tried to respond him as I prepared for next session…
During the last two months, Dylan showed his interest in science especially insects. He’s often found observing insects and will remain in the same place for the whole day unless we call him for some morning tea or lunch. To be honest, I need to admit that he is one of the brightest in the class…
As he boarded to his car at the end of the day, he yelled out the window, ‘I still think they got eyes, I will tell you tomorrow’
I was smiling…and somehow...I was really proud of his curiosity…
When I heard about this, I was reminded how important it is to let children do whatever they want, to explore their mind…don’t correct every error they make…
Again, I learn that by allowing children to investigate their thought, they will learn more about something beyond our imagination. More important, because if a child is really eager to find something new, they continue to be a powerful and excited learner.
I know I still have long and winding road ahead...but these three lessons have given me a preliminary introduction about being a teacher...not only a teacher but also a friend and partner for every child…'a really teacher'
So? At least I have homework now...
First…spend time observing, listening, accompanying, and watching every single thing the children do…even if it’s countless
Second….remember that every child is important…never have favourites…provide more variety in the class that work for children with all types of needs in diverse settings….
Third….encourage every child’s curiosity and not to forget that each child constructs their own knowledge…
Never stop learning in the class…coz…we don’t only teach...but we also learn together in the class…
And the knowledge never stops...learning is a lifetime journey

FRAGILE ---- sting
If blood will flow
when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour
of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will
wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born
beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how
Fragile we are
On and on
the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
like tears from a star
On and on
the rain will say
How fragile we are
If blood will flow
when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour
of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will
wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born
beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how
Fragile we are
On and on
the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
like tears from a star
On and on
the rain will say
How fragile we are
MARRIAGE

Cartoon Character
kalau saya ditanya, cartoon character apa yang paling saya suka? jawabannya..
The one and only Winnie the Pooh :)
dan apabila ditanya alasan kenapa saya suka? hmm...pada dasarnya saya suka karena winnie itu selalu ceria, baik hati, suka memberikan nasihat, dan suka menolong teman"nya. dan dalam setiap film ato ceritanya, pasti ada pesan moral tertentu...percaya deh..coz I've watched most of them :P. Pesan yang disampaikan itu sederhana, bahkan cenderung agak" aneh.
Kadang memang suka sok tau dia :P tapi mungkin itulah ciri khas winnie the pooh...and that's what me looooveeee him so much...
yang suka winnie the pooh pasti banyak juga deh yach, tapi..
How did Winnie the Pooh become the tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff as we know him now? I'll tell you then...have a read...
In 1914, during World War 1, troops from Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) were being transported to eastern Canada on their way overseas to Europe. When the train stopped at White River, Ontario, there was a trapper standing on the platform with a bear cub. One of the soldiers, Harry Colebourn, was serving in the Canadian Army at the time. He saw a man cradling a tiny orphaned black bear cub, and bought it for $20. and named her "Winnipeg", or "Winnie" for short.
The bear became the Canadian Army's mascot. Winnie was put in the care of London Zoo, in Regent's Park, because Harry Colebourn and the other Canadian soldiers had to go to France after England.
When Lieutenant Colebourn came back from France, he found that Winnie was having such a wonderful time at the Zoo and became very popular with the children and was well known for her playful nature. He decided to let him stay there forever. Winnie lived until 1934.
Christopher Robin was one of Winnie's greatest fans, and was allowed to go inside the cage with him. Here is a passage from the introduction to "Winnie the Pooh".
So when Christopher Robin goes to the Zoo, he goes to where the Polar Bears are, and he whispers something to the third keeper from the left, and doors are unlocked, and we wander through dark passages and up steep stairs, until at last we come to the special cage, and the cage is opened, and out trots something brown and furry, and with a happy cry of "Oh, Bear!" Christopher Robin rushes into its arms.
Since Christopher Robin loved Winnie so much, he renamed the bear that he had received for his 1st birthday, Edward Bear, and called him Winnie the Bear. A poem from "When We Were Very Young" tells that Christopher Robin met a swan, and called him Pooh, but the swan has gone now, so Christopher Robin changed Winnie the Bear to Winnie the Pooh in honor of the swan.
The little boy's father, Alan Alexander Milne (knowing of his son's attraction to the bear, would often tell him bedtime stories about the bear and a make-believe world along with Christopher Robin's other toys, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo. The little boy was a featured character in most of those stories. His father went on to write a series of books about "Winnie-the-Pooh" (the bear from Winnipeg), Christopher Robin and their friends at "100-Aker Wood".
A. A. Milne also made up the characters Rabbit and Owl, based on real animal living in the Forest. In the stories, Asdown Forest was called the Hundred Acre Woods. "Winnie the Pooh" was published in 1926, followed by "The House at Pooh Corner" in 1928.
POOH FACT:
In 1961, The Pooh stories were first told to Walt Disney children and he used Pooh in a movie since then.
In 1966 "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" was a big success
In 1968 "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" won an Academy award
In 1974 another Pooh movie was made, called "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too".
And more Winnie the pooh movies are made til now... (Remember Tigger and Pigglet Movie?)
Pooh was bought at Harrods, London by Christopher Robin's mom, Daphne Milne, for his 1st b'day. He is now on display with Tigger, Roo, Pigglet, Eeyore, and Kanga in New York Public Library
Ernest H. Shepard, who illustrated "Winnie the Pooh" and "House at the Pooh Corner" based on his son's teddy bear (Growler) drawings. These drawings are on display at The Victoria and Albert Museum in London
*diambil dari beberapa sumber*
Geez, I have to go to those two places someday...I will!!!!someday....
saya rela menahan diri untuk give up something just for Pooh atau semua yang berhubungan dengan winnie the pooh...saya mempunyai nama untuk tiap pooh saya, saya tau 'sejarah' mereka. Saya rela tidur di lantai hanya karena tempat tidur saya dipenuhi winnie the pooh :P, saya rela membeli winnie the pooh kesayangan padahal it was really costly at that time...atau...saya rela tidak memakan coklat winnie the pooh hadiah salah satu teman sampai jamuran (some silly things that I did hahaha)
Ibu saya sering bertanya, 'mau diapain tuh anak"mu dan barang sebanyak itu??' Ibu saya selalu menyebut boneka" saya itu adalah anak" saya :) dan Beliau tidak pernah lupa mengingatkan saya untuk 'berpamitan' dengan mereka atau membawa pooh kesayangan kalau saya bepergian...
*I love you mama*
saya juga bingung, ada rasa sayang dan tidak rela untuk disumbangkan ^_^
'buat koleksi aja' atau 'buat anak" nanti' itu selalu yang jadi alasan saya.
Ayah saya bahkan lebih ekstrim lagi, Beliau wanti" kalau saya tidak boleh lagi membeli barang" berbau winnie the pooh lagi sekarang kalau tidak... ....(upps....off the record)......
okay, so sorry for that. no more papa...I spend my money for anything but Winnie now.. :) *to be honest...i'm trying not to :P* ...
teman"? wah tidak perlu disebut lagi. istilah mereka mulai dari, "masa kecil kurang bahagia, saya membuat kebun binatang di rumah dan kamar saya, hobi tidak berguna, apa sih enaknya dan bagusnya winnie the pooh tuh? dan lain".
Tanggapan saya? tidak peduli...winnie the pooh tetap nomor satu hahahaha
Sayangnya? oleh" atau hadiah yang diberikan untuk saya kebanyakan winnie the pooh karena? 'Gampang kan? loe pasti suka n ga mungkin nolak koq, tin' Tidak kreatif sekali mereka itu :)
saya juga punya mimpi untuk membuat rumah saya bertemakan Winnie the Pooh...impian tak sampai seperti kata orang". heiii? what's wrong with that??? having dreams is normal i reckon
sayangnya sekarang, saya sudah tidak begitu mengikuti perkembangan winnie the pooh lagi. walaupun saya tetap saja tidak pernah bisa menahan diri kalau sudah melihat semua aksesoris winnie the pooh dan teman"nya....
so? which cartoon character do you like? bisa share dengan cara dan kebiasaan mengoleksi mereka mungkin?
kalau saya ditanya, cartoon character apa yang paling saya suka? jawabannya..
The one and only Winnie the Pooh :)
dan apabila ditanya alasan kenapa saya suka? hmm...pada dasarnya saya suka karena winnie itu selalu ceria, baik hati, suka memberikan nasihat, dan suka menolong teman"nya. dan dalam setiap film ato ceritanya, pasti ada pesan moral tertentu...percaya deh..coz I've watched most of them :P.

His father went on to write a series of books about "Winnie-the-Pooh" (the bear from Winnipeg), Christopher Robin and their friends at "100-Aker Wood".
A. A. Milne also made up the characters Rabbit and Owl, based on real animal living in the Forest. In the stories, Asdown Forest was called the Hundred Acre Woods. "Winnie the Pooh" was published in 1926, followed by "The House at Pooh Corner" in 1928.
POOH FACT:
In 1961, The Pooh stories were first told to Walt Disney children and he used Pooh in a movie since then.
In 1966 "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" was a big success
In 1968 "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" won an Academy award
In 1974 another Pooh movie was made, called "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too".
And more Winnie the pooh movies are made til now... (Remember Tigger and Pigglet Movie?)
Pooh was bought at Harrods, London by Christopher Robin's mom, Daphne Milne, for his 1st b'day. He is now on display with Tigger, Roo, Pigglet, Eeyore, and Kanga in New York Public Library
Ernest H. Shepard, who illustrated "Winnie the Pooh" and "House at the Pooh Corner" based on his son's teddy bear (Growler) drawings. These drawings are on display at The Victoria and Albert Museum in London

Geez, I have to go to those two places someday...I will!!!!someday....
saya rela menahan diri untuk give up something just for Pooh atau semua yang berhubungan dengan winnie the pooh...saya mempunyai nama untuk tiap pooh saya, saya tau 'sejarah' mereka. Saya rela tidur di lantai hanya karena tempat tidur saya dipenuhi winnie the pooh :P, saya rela membeli winnie the pooh kesayangan padahal it was really costly at that time...atau...saya rela tidak memakan coklat winnie the pooh hadiah salah satu teman sampai jamuran (some silly things that I did hahaha)
Ibu saya sering bertanya, 'mau diapain tuh anak"mu dan barang sebanyak itu??' Ibu saya selalu menyebut boneka" saya itu adalah anak" saya :) dan Beliau tidak pernah lupa mengingatkan saya untuk 'berpamitan' dengan mereka atau membawa pooh kesayangan kalau saya bepergian...
*I love you mama*
saya juga bingung, ada rasa sayang dan tidak rela untuk disumbangkan ^_^
'buat koleksi aja' atau 'buat anak" nanti' itu selalu yang jadi alasan saya.
Ayah saya bahkan lebih ekstrim lagi, Beliau wanti" kalau saya tidak boleh lagi membeli barang" berbau winnie the pooh lagi sekarang kalau tidak... ....(upps....off the record)......
okay, so sorry for that. no more papa...I spend my money for anything but Winnie now.. :) *to be honest...i'm trying not to :P* ...
teman"? wah tidak perlu disebut lagi. istilah mereka mulai dari, "masa kecil kurang bahagia, saya membuat kebun binatang di rumah dan kamar saya, hobi tidak berguna, apa sih enaknya dan bagusnya winnie the pooh tuh? dan lain".
Tanggapan saya? tidak peduli...winnie the pooh tetap nomor satu hahahaha
Sayangnya? oleh" atau hadiah yang diberikan untuk saya kebanyakan winnie the pooh karena? 'Gampang kan? loe pasti suka n ga mungkin nolak koq, tin' Tidak kreatif sekali mereka itu :)
saya juga punya mimpi untuk membuat rumah saya bertemakan Winnie the Pooh...impian tak sampai seperti kata orang". heiii? what's wrong with that??? having dreams is normal i reckon
sayangnya sekarang, saya sudah tidak begitu mengikuti perkembangan winnie the pooh lagi. walaupun saya tetap saja tidak pernah bisa menahan diri kalau sudah melihat semua aksesoris winnie the pooh dan teman"nya....
so? which cartoon character do you like? bisa share dengan cara dan kebiasaan mengoleksi mereka mungkin?

BERTAHAN HIDUP
ada beberapa kejadian menarik yang berhubungan dengan 'how to survive' yang saya lihat belakangan ini
1. seorang ibu" berpakaian seperti peri dan berpantomim di tengah" pertokoan. Ia tersenyum, mengerling dan kadang tertawa. di depannya ada sebuah kotak yang di desain dengan bagusnya. Yang menarik perhatian saya adalah ibu ini membuat pesan tertulis di depan kotak tersebut, bunyinya: 'Hi, I'm an angel. I am here to make your wish come true. Make a wish and throw your coin to the box. But, remember, Angel prefers gold coin :)'
--> artinya? dia minta supaya orang" memberi uang dalam bentuk yang lebih besar.
2. tiga orang anak"(dua laki", satu perempuan) masih dengan motif sama, mencari sesuap nasi sambil menghibur. kali ini mereka membawa beberapa alat musik, walaupun terlihat sangat tidak pantas untuk dimainkan karena sudah tua sekali kelihatannya. ada catatan kecil juga, bunyinya: ' Our dad usually plays with us, but he's in jail for 15months because of driving without license'
yg menarik perhatian adalah, mereka bisa memainkan alat musik. yang perempuan memetik gitar, yang lelaki memainkan drum dan harmonika (fyi, anak ini memakai kaki palsu dan terlihat bekas operasi di kaki kirinya, dan dia kurus sekali hiks)
Memang suara mereka tidak begitu harmonis tapi tetap saja mereka berhasil mencuri perhatian orang" yang melewati jalan itu....dan hmm cukup banyak coin yang mereka dapatkan lho :)
3. di depan sebuah Mal, ada seorang lelaki memainkan biola, penampilannya? asli berantakan dan cuek. tapi yang perlu dihargai adalah niatnya untuk mencari uang dengan memainkan biola dan dia terlihat profesional sekali waktu memainkan itu...sempat membuat saya kagum, coz..i adore and 'love' someone who knows how to play music instruments huhuhuhuhuhuhuuhu......
dari ketiga contoh di atas, satu kesimpulan yang coba saya ambil. Mereka mencoba untuk bertahan hidup dengan cara mereka masing". patut diacungi jempol karena mereka tidak hanya meminta", tapi meminta dengan memberikan sesuatu...menghibur dengan kreativitas dan keahlian masing", entah itu berpantomim, bertahan diam di tempat, memainkan alat musik padahal mereka orphan, atau memainkan alat musik yang tidak mudah untuk dimainkan...butuh pengorbanan dan usaha keras yang pasti untuk itu.
melihat semua itu, saya berpikir, wah seringkali saya masih terus saja tidak puas dengan keadaan dan meminta lebih dari yang telah diberikan sekarang. padahal untuk mereka, dan banyak contoh lain yang tidak saya lihat, bertahan hidup sehari saja susah rasanya..klasik sekali yach? tapi issue ini emang terus dan akan selalu diangkat karena manusia tidak pernah berenti untuk berpuas diri dan menerima diri...

Jerry Maguire: the story of Gender, Emotion, and Caring
One of my courses this semester is about "CHILD DEVELOPMENT", it discusses about what is each child personality traits for each age, and what are the significant changes for every group of age. One of the chapters is about GENDER
On my last lecture, we watched "Jerry Maguire" one of my fav movies.
And, despite what the story is, this movie is a good example in terms of gender. How it reflects the role of gender in emotions and relationships.
In brief, I'll tell you about the story and what it's related to child development especially gender
Maybe most of you have watched this movie. The movie is a 'buddy' picture with sports agent Jerry Maguire (played beautifully by Tom Cruise) paired with two buddies: Rod (the too short Arizona Cardinals wide receiver, played by Cuba Gooding, Jr), and 6-years-old Ray (the son of Jerry's love interest which is his accountant Dorothy (played by Renée Zellweger).
Through his two buddies, Jerry (which is most likely to be the thinking-but-not feeling guy) discovers the right path by connecting to Ray's emotional honestly and black American Rod's devotion to his family.
Conversely, through Jerry, the emotionally flamboyant and self-centred Rod discovers that he must bring passion back to his game to be successful.
The image of nurturing and nurtured males is shown throughout this movie. And to be honest, I cry every time I watch this movie...*what a shame :p*
How Jerry's relationship with Ray is a significant theme. Through discovering a caring relationship with this 6 little years old boy, Jerry makes his first genuine move toward emotional maturity. And the funny part is, the boy is Jerry's guide. Another good example is Chad (Ray's babysitter), who became the good example of appropriate caring by a male.
It is often told that crying is a shame for boys. That's why boys tend to hide their emotional expression (for boys...cmon...crying is not something to be ashamed of...)
And again, in this movie, we can find that crying is really 'normal' for Males. That Jerry shed tears while writing his mission statement, when thinking about Dorothy's possible move to another city, which also means that he will lose Ray for sure, and at Rod's succeeds. And when Rod cried as he spoke to his family.
And historically, despite crying, weeping, more than any emotional expression, has been associated with feminine emotion. Remember that our parents used to say "hayo, anak laki ga boleh nangis, or...malu ah anak laki kok nangis...”
It has increasingly taken on a more prominent role in the males' emotional makeup instead.
This movie reflects changes in gender roles as an increasing number of males show an interest in improving their social relationships and achieving emotional maturity.
Stephanie Shields (one of young children's expert), mentioned that overall females are more competent in dealing with their social relationships than males.
Hmm...What a movie...and the other thing is...I love the soundtrack....
*SECRET GARDEN* by Bruce Springsteen
she’ll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth if the
Words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get to that place where
You can't remember and you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay a million miles away

Sebelum kamu mengeluh
-dari seorang sahabat-
Hari ini sebelum kamu mengatakan kata-kata yang tidak baik,
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang tidak dapat berbicara sama sekali
Sebelum kamu mengeluh tentang rasa dari makananmu,
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang tidak punya apapun untuk dimakan.
Sebelum kamu mengeluh tidak punya apa-apa
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang meminta-minta di jalanan.
Sebelum kamu mengeluh bahwa kamu buruk,
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang berada pada tingkat yang terburuk di dalam hidupnya.
Sebelum kamu mengeluh tentang suami atau istri anda.
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang memohon kepada Tuhan untuk diberikan teman hidup
Hari ini sebelum kamu mengeluh tentang hidupmu,
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang meninggal terlalu cepat
Sebelum kamu mengeluh tentang anak-anakmu,
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang sangat ingin mempunyai anak tetapi dirinya mandul
Sebelum kamu mengeluh tentang rumahmu yang kotor karena pembantumu tidak mengerjakan tugasnya,
Pikirkan tentang orang-orang yang tinggal di jalanan
Sebelum kamu mengeluh tentang jauhnya kamu telah menyetir,
Pikirkan tentang seseorang yang menempuh jarak yang sama dengan berjalan.
Dan disaat kamu lelah dan mengeluh tentang pekerjaanmu,
Pikirkan tentang pengangguran,orang-orang cacat yang berharap mereka mempunyai pekerjaan seperti kamu
Sebelum kamu menunjukkan jari dan menyalahkan orang lain,
ingatlah bahwa tidak ada seorangpun yang tidak berdosa,,,
Kita semua menjawab kepada Tuhan
Dan ketika kamu sedang bersedih dan hidupmu dalam kesusahan,
Tersenyum dan mengucap syukurlah kepada Tuhan bahwa kamu masih hidup !
Life is a gift
Live it...
Enjoy it...
Celebrate it...
And fulfill it.
Cintai orang lain dengan perkataan dan perbuatanmu
Cinta diciptakan tidak untuk disimpan atau disembunyikan
Anda tidak mencintai seseorang karena dia cantik atau tampan,
Mereka cantik/tampan karena anda mencintainya,,,
It's true you don't know what you've got until it's gone, but..
it's also true You don't know what you've been missing until it arrives!!!
*memang benar yach? kadang kita terlalu memperhatikan hal yang tidak semestinya, sedangkan hal yang ada di depan mata terlewatkan. Dan, hal yang obvious sekali dalam diri setiap manusia adalah..susah untuk berempati dengan orang lain. ingat, human is the most selfish gene, ever!!!!*
for xu".thanks yach..worth reading koq :P)

salah persepsi
sering kita menyalahartikan perhatian ataupun uluran pertemanan orang lain. berusaha untuk berpikir positif dan tidak menaruh curiga apapun.
Siapa tahu ada udang di balik batu dari tawaran itu???
jadi? mungkin benar.
Hoping for the best and Preparing for the worst to come sometimes is true...
takkukiratakkudugasemuaadatujuannyateganyateganya, hikshiks...

KEJUTAN
senang sekali rasanya hari ini kembali ke sekolah....
dan banyak surprise yang saya dapatkan hari ini.
Hal yang paling membahagiakan kita salah satunya adalah pengakuan dan penerimaan dan penghargaan.
Seperti hari ini, saya baru masuk kelas, tiba" Chloe langsung menghampiri saya dan berkata, "Tanti, How are you?.Selamat Pagi" dengan terpatah" tapi itu cukup membuat saya terharu. Gila, baru pertama kali saya ajarkan tuh beberapa minggu yang lalu, dan dia berusaha untuk ngomong walaupun pertama kali saya tidak mengerti maksudnya.
Waktu rest time, Nicky meminta saya untuk hmm 'tickle n cuddle' her *sorry, ga tau bhs indonesianya apa
dan tau apa yang dia ucapkan tidak lama setelah itu, "I like you. You tickle me just like the way my mum do it", sambil memeluk pinggang saya.
Pada waktu lagi free time, rekan saya menyiapkan salah satu section kelas untuk tracing, dan menulis nama mereka. Taylah menghampiri saya, "Tanti, this is how to write your name. It's easy, but your name is strange".
Saya? ada rasa yang tidak bisa saya ungkapkan untuk kejadian hari ini. Belakangan ini, saya memang sedang diliputi kebingungan dan suasana hati yang tidak menentu, hal" itu membuat semua menguap, lupa kalau hari" saya belakangan diliputi awan gelap.
Dan, hal pertama yang saya lakukan sesampainya di rumah? saya langsung berbagi kebahagiaan ini dan mengirim pesan melalui telepon seluler saya untuk sahabat sehati. Benar bukan kata saya? Dunia anak" itu begitu berwarna, begitu indah untuk diceritakan dan tidak pernah habis untuk digali dan dibagikan kepada orang lain.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, saya bener" cinta deh sama mereka...semoga pilihan saya tidak salah yach....
PF: much love for my green room for erasing 'all my dark clouds' away today...

PART 2
sambungan dari postingan kemarin...
saya sering diskusi atau tepatnya saling tukar pikiran dengan salah satu teman sepikiran dan alangkah senangnya karena dia adalah salah satu dari sedikit orang yang mau dengan sabar mendengarkan cerita" dan impian saya, terutama tentang menjadi guru :)
dan lagi..saya dapat bisa mengutarakan pendapat, opini, kebimbangan", kiat" mengajar, dan pertanyaan" mulai dari apa bedanya antara satu kelas dengan yang lain, what each class or age personality traits, apa yang harus saya berikan berkaitan dengan kurikulum dalam kelas, kreativitas untuk tiap kelas, sampai pada good and bad side setiap langkah kita....
menanggapi komentar postingan terdahulu ini, saya mencoba kembali refleksi, apa emang udah takdir saya berkecimpung di dunia ini atau saya masih belum menemukan dunia yang sebenarnya.
kalo mau ditilik lebih lanjut, secara kebetulan, sebenarnya saya sudah sering 'berurusan' dengan anak", dari saya ingusan sampai sekarang. Jadi mungkin memang saya di 'arahkan' secara tidak sengaja untuk masuk dalam dunia ini. MUNGKIN SAJA...
dan kadang kita butuh orang lain untuk 'menyadarkan' kita untuk tahu apa yang kita mau. fair kah? tidak tahu juga, idealnya, kita sendiri harus lebih aware untuk apa yang kita kehendaki...at least...for the time being...perhaps..
mungkin sama dengan apa yang pernah ditulis Tia, mau apa sekarang? saya malah bertanya, mau ke mana lagi sekarang? karena begitu banyak pilihan, apakah saya mau terus mengajar, atau menjadi akademisi saja? atau malah tidak sama sekali? atau hanya bertindak dari belakang layar saja?
saya sering bertanya, dan hampir semua menjawab "cuma loe yang tau, tin, trial and error tuh bagus juga lagi, biar tau cocoknya loe dimana"
so far, based on what I've been through and what people see in me...I think I'd better be a teacher, I love teaching...
Dunia yang saya geluti sekarang ini, sebagian besar memang menyangkut apa yang dinamakan MENGAJAR, tapi lagi" saya memang banyak maunya, ada suatu tantangan tersendiri apabila saya merasa bisa menyelesaikan salah satu kurikulum, mata pelajaran, atau tugas" yang berkaitan dengan apa yang harus saya ajar. karena saya bukan tipe follower, saya juga ingin jadi producer :P...
dulu saya sering minder, apalah artinya seorang guru di mata orang", bahkan teman" sering bingung, kok mau"nya saya menjadi guru, apalagi guru TK, preschool or whatsoever. Di mata mereka, aaalaaah guru TK kerjaannya cuma nemenin anak" maen, makan, nyanyi, senang" terus, santai dan ga susah, beda dengan kerjaan mereka yang harus lembur, stress, kejar deadline sana sini...
tapi? sekarang saya berani 'menegakan kepala dan mengatakan, hei..tintin tuh guru lagi"...dan orang" terdekat saya juga mulai melihat, dan mengakui, tertarik dengan apa yang saja geluti, " eh tin kayaknya loe enjoy bgt yach ama kerjaan loe skrg? g jg tertarik nih, apa aja sih requirementsnya? susah ga???"
bahkan pernah teman saya menelp malam, "Tin, anak g ga mau tidur nih kalau ga nyium bantal yach?", "kok tidurnya harus lewat jam 10 terus sih? normal ga sih anak g?", "g dikasih tips donk biar anak g bisa cepetan ngomong", atau "eh tin, anak g sukanya makan pisang mulu nih ketimbang bubur, gimana donk?" bla bla bla" ....atau salah satu teman yang dengan heboh membawa setumpuk buku dan meminta saya memilih mana yang relevan untuk anaknya (wah jd inget waktu itu, mir hahahhaa...lucu juga)
Beberapa surat elektronik yang saya terima berupa diskusi dan tanggapan pertanyaan" seputar young children dari orang" yang cukup menguasai dunia tersebut juga membuat saya semakin berpikir..mungkin ini memang jalan yang harus saya jalani...
dan last but not least..my babba juga terus mendukung dan mengakui eksistensi keguruan saya :)
saya terus bersyukur....walaupun once in a while, tidak jarang mereka masih bertanya, kenapa guru? tapi mereka tidak pernah memaksa saya untuk menjadi seorang engineer, sayang kan gelar yang didapat kemaren ini?? but I'd rather kill myself if I am asked to be an engineer...
Pilihan...memang menyulitkan...di satu sisi saya merasa dunia saya mengajar, tapi saya tertarik juga dengan dunia akademisi...atau? justru karena dibebaskan saya semakin bingung...
saya masih berkutat...sekaligus bersyukur, masih ada waktu untuk berpikir...dan bertanya.. "IS IT TEACHING, EDUCATION, OR EVEN LITERACY"....setidaknya saya senang dan menikmati apa yang saya jalani sekarang...saya pasti tahu somehow..someday

saya terus bersyukur....walaupun once in a while, tidak jarang mereka masih bertanya, kenapa guru? tapi mereka tidak pernah memaksa saya untuk menjadi seorang engineer, sayang kan gelar yang didapat kemaren ini?? but I'd rather kill myself if I am asked to be an engineer...
Pilihan...memang menyulitkan...di satu sisi saya merasa dunia saya mengajar, tapi saya tertarik juga dengan dunia akademisi...atau? justru karena dibebaskan saya semakin bingung...
saya masih berkutat...sekaligus bersyukur, masih ada waktu untuk berpikir...dan bertanya.. "IS IT TEACHING, EDUCATION, OR EVEN LITERACY"....setidaknya saya senang dan menikmati apa yang saya jalani sekarang...saya pasti tahu somehow..someday
WHAT DO YOU WANT??
my first (formal) job in one of preschools back in Indonesia couple years ago...caused me to reflect critically on all that i knew and i wanted for mylife. several experiences and thought 'forced' me to take the decision to learn more about what early childhood is...
and...referring to my conversation to one of my friend lately, i (again) put a big question mark on my mind..is it really what i want? is it really what i want to do for the rest of my life? and many what if what if banging on my head...
prior to my journey to find what i really want.. i imagined what i'll be in the next four or five years...
and...again...i often have a chat with one of my friend who has the same opinion of being young children teacher...
and.. i'll never running out of thing to discuss about how wonderful being a teacher is...and how we never stop exploring and learning how to give the best thing for children, learning to be a better teacher and of course the best friend for our children in the class...
i might not be the best one..and it makes me think ...which one suits me? which class is the best for me to teach.
so far i've been to different variety classess...and i know which class might be the best for me...from what i heard...grade 1 is the best...but..i won't believe it til i experience myself...
so..keeping the faith and being realistic? which one is better?
PF : for tia...thanks for the advice and it's nice having a sharing partner :P....you'll be the first to know....for sure...

BAHASA
seseorang sering menyarankan saya untuk memakai, berbicara, atau menulis dengan bahasa yang benar. padahal menurut prinsip saya, kalau orang lain bisa mengerti mengapa kita tidak memakai bahasa yang simple saja? apalagi kalau orang yang kita ajak bicara itu berada pada level yang sama (baik dalam umur, pendidikan, atau hubungan)
jadi kali ini saya mencoba untuk menggunakan bahasa 'yang benar'...*walaupun agak canggung*
dan belakangan ini saya juga lagi hmm mempelajari sambil mencoba mengerti dasar munculnya kata" singkat atau idiom" ataupun icon" pesan telepon seluler, surat elektronik, atau obrolan" singkat.
hal ini muncul tanpa ada 'hukum atau aturan tertentu'
seperti bahasa" slank yang mulai populer di indonesia, sering disebut bahasa gaul, terutama sekali sering dipakai oleh remaja, anak" muda, eksekutif" muda, selebritis, atau kaum waria
akan tetapi, hal yang akan saya bahas kali ini adalah bahasa 'gaul'nya orang amerika, walaupun belum begitu dikenal secara luas. hal ini sempat mendapat perhatian khusus dari beberapa pengajar karena mereka mendapati essay murid"nya dikumpulkan dengan bahasa yang sama sekali tidak mereka mengerti
misalnya:
my smmr hols wr cwot. b4, we used 2go2 ny 2c my bro, his gf & thr 3 :- kids ftf. ilny, it's gr8 plc
mau tau artinya?
my summer holiday were a complete waste of time. before, we used to go to new york to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York, it's a great place.
ada lagi
hi, hru? ltnc. w@ ru don 2nite? ltsGt2gthr. pcm asap. gtsy. cul
artinya:
Hi, How are you? What are you doing tonight? Let's get together. Please call me as soon as possible. Good to see you. see you later
hmm...lumayan membingungkan bukan?
dan saya beberapa kali mencoba mempraktekkan hal ini. Hasil yang saya dapat? Sejumlah pertanyaan dari teman" yang sama sekali tidak mengerti apa maksud saya. Beberapa malah membalas dengan kemarahan :(. Ini karena barrier bahasa lagi, atau memang saya yang memang agak susah untuk memakai bahasa yang benar? pr buat saya lagi..
bingung juga yach kalau bahasa yang ada makin berkembang? maksud hati mau mempersingkat waktu dengan menggunakan bahasa singkat..hasilnya malah mengecewakan
saya juga sering berpikir, alangkah indahnya bahasa" yang ada di dunia skrg ini, dengan segala keunikan dan ciri khas masing", walaupun ga jarang hal itu juga jadi barrier dalam beberapa hal. saya adalah salah satu pengagum mereka yang dapat menguasai berbagai bahasa berbeda. Alangkah bagusnya juga apabila ada satu bahasa saja di dunia ini. jadi kita bisa berkomunikasi dengan leluasa dan tidak mendapatkan respon yang tidak kita kehendaki....karena semua orang tidak mempunyai bahasa sendiri"
one world = one language...is it possible???

"SPIDERMAN"
hmm...children...they're never running out of energy..never running out of things to tell, never running out of creativity...
finishing my prac today...i have something else to tell to you...about how extraordinary children's world is...

g mencoba utk membuang waktu dan membangkitkan semangat mereka setelah tidur siang *abis pada lemes" gitu abis bbk siang*

di mulai dari LISA
LISA : Once upon the time..there was a girl
*dilemparin ke karen
*MELLINGKY ngomong...once upon a time, i was a spiderman...
KAREN : she went to the shop
*dilemparin ke kayla
*MELLINGKY masih ngomong terus...tetep ada unsur spiderman...
KAYLA : she bought heaps (bhs oz bgt nih hahaha) of lollies
*dilemparin ke Ally
ALLY : she ate all the lollies
*dilemparin ke Zack
ZACK : she cried because she wanted more lollies
*dilemparin ke g
*MELLINGKY masih terus ngomong dengan cerita spidermannya
G : mommy said..don't cry..let's go to grandma to ask some cakes
*g lemparin ke Chelsea
CHELSEA : grandma said : hi, i just finished making chocolate cake.
*dilemparin ke Niki
NIKI : she ate grandma's cake and went home
sepanjang permainan itu.. Mellingky, dia terus ikutan ngomong dan bikin cerita ndiri make tokoh spiderman, sampe g binun mo nyetopin gimana...sampe akhirnya g nyerah n ngasih tali itu ke dia utk yg terakhir kali
*dilemparin ke Mellingky dan itu tali terakhir...it meant...he was the last person who had to tell the story
mau tau apa cerita dia?? ga nyambung sama sekali dari cerita di atas..
MELLINGKY : she is also spiderman, *jelas" spiderman itu man = co...ga papalah namanya jg anak"* she went to spiderman's house. making spiderweb, meeting green goblin and another spiderman. spiderman had lollies again...bla bla bla...sampe g mesti cut cerita dia..sblm terlalu lama dan makin jauh..
duh...itu hanya salah satu dari sekian kali dlm sehari ini g denger dia ngomong spiderman. entah apa yg dia pelajari, baca ato apalah dari tokoh hero anak" itu. pokoknya semua serba spiderman
pagi" g masih blm gitu hapal nama anak" di kelas...*Upps..that's not a good teacher...excused banget nih...*
g : what's your name??
MELLINGKY : spiderman
circle time:
g: hands up if u have a song for us to sing today
MELLINGKY : incy wincy spider
* lagi tengah" nyanyi, dia nangis...waktu ditanya kenapa, dia jawab gini,
MELLINGKY : no...it's not the right song. you have to sing like this. g minta dia utk ngasih contoh..
MELLINGKY : incy wincy spider climbed up the water spout. down came the green goblin and kicked the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. and the incy wincy spider went up the spout again!
group time:
MELLINGKY : excuse me, can you draw me spiderman? mummy spider, daddy spider, and baby spider...so...can you draw me 4 spidermen?
activities time
MELLINGKY : can i draw spiderman??
g : hmm..it's not about spiderman today. it's better if you draw scientist instead of spiderman
mau tau apa jawaban dia??
MELLINGKY : yea..but i think spiderman is a scientist too. he always wears a mask, just like the scientist in that picture.
outdoor time:
MELLINGKY : can i wear my spiderman costume??
di sand pit
MELLINGKY : look..i made spiderman using the sand. this is spiderman's car, spiderman's house..bla bla bla...
at the jumping board:
MELLINGKY : this is the way spiderman jumps and flies...
g? speechless dan cuma bisa senyum aja...baru hari ini g ngerasa penasaran sekaligus bete ama spiderman :P ampe segimananya sih ngefek ke Mellingky??

Mourning
sekali lagi...hidup manusia emang ga bisa ditebak..tp cuma bisa dijalani.
berita duka cita lagi, Pope John Paul II has passed away.
and the world is on mourners and gives their deepest condolences for his death...we lost one of the greatest man.
Pope John Paul II was remembered Saturday as a "champion of human freedom," a "tireless advocate of peace" and a man with a "wonderful sense of humor" who was easy to talk to. He left us with a lot of memories, after 26 years of sovereignty as the highest shepherd for catholic church.....
emang yach...kematian dan kehidupan itu bedanya tipis...wlp banyak yg udah nyangka kalo kematian akan datang..tapi banyak cara yang ditempuh orang utk 'menunda' kematian itu sendiri...apalagi dgn kemajuan teknologi kyk skrg ini...menunda...tapi bukan menghentikan...we just can't, can we?
dan kata orang...kita ga tau apa dan gimana kita di mata orang laen sebelum kita mati...(mungkin bener kyk yg dilakuin Morrie di Tuesdays with Morrie..dimana dia ngadain funeral rehearsal supaya bisa tau how it looks like and how people react on his real funeral when he dies)
For The Holy Father...may you rest in peace...just like what your holy blessing in each mass..
PEACE BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS...........and Peace to the world...
