Zetsuen no Tempest (The Civilization Blaster)

At last, I can find a good anime on this boring holiday~

One of my friend recommended this anime, thx for him :D *I can kill all this boredom. So actually this anime is pretty close with Guilty Crown (if u ever watched it, I think it is good). Action, romance and comedy. This one is certainly good for teens and those who love adventure storyline. Some of the conversation inside of this anime is adapted to Hamlet and The Tempest by Shakespeare.
 
Kusaribe, Yoshino, Mahiro, Aika
Episode count: 24
Plot:
Once on this earth, there are two trees, one of them called as Tree of living, tree of Genesis, and other is tree of Exodus. Both tree allow human to have magic, but only for certain clans. One day, the clan of Genesis, Kusaribe clan reveals the true nature of Genesis which actually able to reset the entire world to represent the peace, as the result our earth will be on a big damage, suffering on disaster and only several people will survive. The purpose of tree of Exodus is preventing the resurrection of Genesis tree and bringing it to sleep. But the strongest mage of Genesis does not believe this story and actually is also tied and controlled by the fate to resurrect the Genesis tree. As the result, the company which support the true identity of Genesis tree trap the mage somewhere and running for the plan to resurrect the Exodus tree to save the world by searching the mage of Exodus. 

On the other hand, the strongest mage, Hakaze meets a young boy named Mahiro by having a long distance telepathy in wooden doll which is soaked on the coast. In exchange of Mahiro's help, Hakaze offers him to reveal who is the murderer of her dearest sister, Fuwa Aika. In the middle of the adventure to stop Kusaribe's clan to resurrect the Exodus tree, Mahiro meets his best friend Yoshino, a survival, in a destroyed city who everybody has turned to be metal as the result of the reaction of the awakening both trees. Yoshino, who actually the one who is dating Fuwa Aika behind Mahiro decides to help Mahiro so he can find out who is the murderer of her girlfriend. But unfortunately, when they are in the middle of the mission to help the world they find out there is a relation between why Fuwa Aika was dead and why the world is in danger.      

Well, this is a hillarious anime!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Trust me, this is awesome and it is unpredictable story line. I hate to say this even Fuwa Aika at last was still dead, but I really like her personalities and she is beautiful. The action is also amazing and both character, even both Yoshino and Mahiro are boys, the story is still enjoyable. Mahiro is so handsome, wild and strong, I also like Yoshino, he is genius and calm. What to say?? I love this anime!

One of the best quote in this anime is............
"The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning"

Have a nice day!!

In SPL Farewell means An End That Starts A Beginning


Today is our SPL farewell party, it is saddening, exciting, great, awesome, wonderful, fascinating, indescribably. So today we are having a simple dinner in one of restaurant at the shopping mall. The funniest and happiest moment is actually our beloved juniors had prepared farewell gifts for seniors, but one of the juniors who actually carried the gift (and at last it was for me) when she entered the restaurant. I did not notice any suspicious thing, and other juniors covered it by saying she was planning to buy it for her birthday friend. The saddening moment is when everybody said their wish for me, from our greatest coach ever, Sir Hendriek and then from my juniors Edwin, Stephie, Bella, Fausta and Huiliana. I love the atmosphere, I feel like sitting under tree where all blossom flowers are flying. I love party especially with SPL, either Sir’s birthday, Sir’s wedding, having trip together, lunch together, studying together or practicing together; somehow I have spent my entire three years lives with them since 2010.

 Honestly, I hate to say goodbye, I hate to say farewell. As long as we are under the same skies, no matter what happens, even the time changes, we will meet someday, when all our hope has come true, and I will be so sure that each of us will be blessed and be related to this bond ever after.  

I still remember my first time when I got into SPL, I lost my interest in Paskibra since the coach passed away and everyone was abandoning it. I retired in Mandarin because I had nowhere to go, I felt like I need more challenges. Here I come, being tied by the fate, I stepped my pace to SPL, to English, to speech, to debate and I never regret for it, never ever!

Now on, I cannot cast a magic, I cannot grant a wish, I also cannot buy something great to return thousand fun of these three years, but may I pray and hope for today, for SPL future, to be better, to be greater, for my juniors please continue all your hard work, be tough, be greater than us and be awesome. For our dearest coach, please stay patience; never give up giving birth to other great generation of the universe, lols. Keep healthy, keep happy, keep smiling, and keep shinning as ever. May God pay everything, every piece of your good deeds in return and may your every little hope among us turn to be reality.

I want to say so many things, but it will cost 100 pages probably, just like Sir said, make it clear, simple and understandable. Lols~

With regards, with love

Toradora!


Yo readers! Are you interested in romance comedy anime? Toradora! is a pretty good choice.

Ryuji and Taiga
Episode count: 25

Plot:
Have u ever imagined getting a wild tiger as your girlfriend? This happens to Ryuji Takasu, a son of single parent mother who has been left by his father who was well known as merciless gangster leader. As the result, Ryuji was misunderstood as a delinquent. His school life never works well, none of the girls dare to approach him and only his childhood friend Kitamura knows him. Once, Ryuji is falling in love with one of the baseball girl Minori Kushieda, the way she struggles with her life by aiming money to cover her study, having part time job and shinning as the best player in her baseball club. Although Ryuji likes Kushieda, he does not have the courage to tell the truth to Minori. One day, Ryuji met a delinquent, small looking girl named Taiga who is well known as Palmtop Tiger and hardly ever come to school. She is trying to tell her feeling to Ryuji's childhood friend Kitamura-kun, but every time she tries, she always ends up with shouting and denying her puropose and run away. When Ryuji notices what Taiga did, unfortunately when Ryuji tries to do the same to Minorin, Ryuji ends up to scare people around him, as the result Minori is ignoring him. Both Ryuji and Taiga have gotten the same problem of telling the truth, so when they realize about their problem, they make a deal to help each other to approach Kushieda and Kitamura. But as the time pass by, Taiga and Ryuji realized the one they love is not the right person and all their story to help each other make them a relationship of friendship and lover.

The backgroud mostly takes place at school, sometimes in Japanese style small house and western apartment where Taiga lives. Although the plot is so fascinating, well, I find something pretty awkward here, Taiga live alone because she has ever said she dislike her father, it sounds like her father is such a scary gangster or bad reputation somehow that's why people call her as Tiger. But in this story, Taiga's father remarried to another woman after the death of Taiga's mother, that's why Taiga decides to leave the house and  rent for apartment. But so far, the story has so much fun and energetic.

Have a nice day!

If You Were Here (Part 2: Your Agony Is My Agony)


With my curiosity, I walk around the street. While the time does not seem good for me to go back to university. Unintentionally I pass a street wherever actually I don't want to pass anymore; yes it is where the accident takes place.  I fasten my pace and run to stop this annoying memory while I have arrived in my apartment.

I squeeze my hands; I close the door as my sweat flows. My tear starts flowing, I do not understand where it comes for, but yes... Even I saw someone who looks like Edgey, I am not certain he is Edgey, because he was dead in an accident two weeks ago and it was in front of my eyes.
 
"Cherrie, good morning!", said Edgey from the phone.
"You are so early.... Good morning..", I replied and still comforted with my pillow on the bed.
"My sweet lazy girl, do you know what time is it?", teased Edgey with his arrogant voice.
I looked at my phone and noticed that it was too late for such a girl to wake up.
"Hmmm... 11.30.. I left my part time job late yesterday, I can't bear to sleep.. Sorry", I replied.
"I am sorry Cherrie, it was my fault , I can't take you home yesterday, I promise to pay it back. Hmm.. What about we have a date today, make it a special lunch then. I treat you whatever you want", he said excitingly.
"Really? Aren't you busy? I hate it when the phone rings when we are dating.. It will be best if you continue with your work", I replied disappointingly.
"Listen, I will make it for the last time for this phone to ring in our date, this time no more", he said firmly.
"Really? Promise me!", I teased him and lower my voice so it looked so pitiful.
"I promise", he replied seriously this time.
" Hahahaha~ You sound so serious, I take it as a nice joke in the morning", I replied and chuckled.
"Hiieeeghh? How rude!! I am serious, take me seriously Cherrie, come on, lunch, lunch??", he sounded so upset that I could not refuse his plan.
"OK I am pretty hungry, meet me in the usual place?", I asked.
"Sure! Take care my love", he replied.
"Take care too, see ya", I replied and he hung off the phone.

 I was so excited and I could not wait for longer, it had been 5 weeks we were torturing our relationship each other. He had his job, I had my class, we were depressed and busy, I hoped today would be so much fun. I took a shower, decided for the best dress to go, left my apartment and I was heading to our favorite restaurant. My head only filled with the moment we would spent together.

When I was arrived, he was there earlier. I got closer and he hugged me, I did not notice anything wrong. We ordered our food, and he always asked me about my class. I talked about Ronan, his best friend who had missed his appearance since Edgey worked and never got into class anymore, I talked about the teacher at school and everything we like. On that day he brought me a bouquet, it was lilies and we loved them so much. The time passed so quick that we did not notice what time it was. The night had come and then we walked together to send me home. 

"Cherrie, I have a gift for you, hope you like this", he said while he was taking out on something from his pouch.
"Hmm? What is it? I hope you don't spend a lot", I said.
"You are a nice girl, Cherrie. Do you treat all boys like this? It's funny you are worrying about the money I spend for your gift", he said and he smirked.
"Are you laughing at me again? It doesn't mean I am worrying about your money, but it is just too much, I mean.... hmmm...” I replied while I also did not know what I was talking about. Good, I messed up with my words.
"Are you still nervous talking with me Cherrie? You mess your words, and I know that", he chuckled.
"I... I.. I.. ", I replied uncontrollably with more weird answers.
 He put his hand on my head and shook it gently.
"Cherrie, my life will be lonely without you, thanks for everything, just stay like this, this is the way I love you the most", he replied and smiled.

His hand was so gentle and it was so warm. I was so speechless and just nodded and then smiled. He gave me a pendant then he told me not to lose it. It looks like a flashy rectangular with lily caged in diamond and there is some special design around the rectangular, just like a root around the rectangular. Then he helped me to wear it.
"It suits you, no one else", he said with a faint smile.
"Thanks", I replied while blushed.
"I hope you are happy with this", he said.
"Hmmm...”, I nodded and smirked.

We walked for some blocks and we were holding hands. Then, we across the street, the traffic light showed it was green, we passed across the street, no one was crossing the street except us, unintentionally our hands were separated so I walked two steps in front of Edgey, suddenly a truck with its container, it was driven wildly, it sounded like pieces of steel and was driven so fast, as I remembered the flash was so close, several meters of my sight and suddenly I was pushed from behind, bumped on the hard street. As I twisted my leg and fell down I looked backward, my eyes never believed what I saw, Edgey was crushed while he was smiling to me among the flash light and when the big truck bumped, I witnessed his eyes, it was shown how painful, how fearful he was.

Then everything turned black and I saw some splash of blood through my face. The white lilies bouquet he carried on was tore into pieces with blood. I crawled from the place I was to look closer, voicelessly, I ignored my pain, I just needed to get closer, Edgey turned into bloody fresh flesh that I could not recognize his face anymore, I was so scared to death, my body froze, his left hand was crushed and splat somewhere, his head was bleeding, his eyes were opened in terror, his lips was badly injured, he was struggling and I felt his agony, I knew how it felt, my tears soaked, it fell, it really really fell down. His right arm was moving, only for several seconds, I did not dare to touch him, I was creeping out, but my hands move out of my instruction, he turned cold, he was wet, not with the sweat but blood, the crowd approached me, they called the ambulance, some people helped me to stand up, I did nothing, I did nothing, I really really did nothing, and did not know what to do, my ears felt deafen, my head felt like exploding, my heart was numb, I lost my consciousness as I was fainted and when I awoke it was the day of his requiem.

(To be continued..............)

If You Were Here (Part 1: Our Memories)




"She looks so pitiful..", said a girl. 
"Well probably because of that accident", replied another girl. 
"Psssstt!! Don't speak too loud, she would listen!", said the first girl. 
"Why so serious? It's the fact, that accident won't be happened if she was not there!", said another girl. "Mia!! You are too loud!", replied another girl. 
I listen to all of this bad mouth everyday, what can I do? What can I hope for now on? I can only pretend to sleep at the class. Listening to all these bullshits, talking about my past two weeks ago, they do not understand how I feel, they do not know how hurt it is. Even I want to shout aloud and defend myself that I am not guilty, it is no sense, they will not believe on me. I can just stay like this, holding all this burden and scars alone. "If you were here, I know you will not let this happen", I murmur to myself to cheer this painful heart. I decide to leave the class and have some fresh air, unintentionally I push  my table too hard and all the girls who were talking about my past are freaking out. Seems like the lady luck does not really really like me today. I ignore and pretend just like usual and pass through the crowd outside. 

I look at the window and have some sightseeing. A rounded park with lilies catch my eyes, there is a memory reminds me when we sat together there. It was the first time I had ever skipped the class. We decided to have our lunch, he stole on one of my best favorite sweet and apple. Suddenly one of the teachers caught us, he held my hands and we ran then jumped through the nearest fences, then we hid among the buzzes. 
"Psst, stay calm or we will be noticed", he said. "It's your fault! I told you it was a bad idea to skip the class, didn't I?", I replied angrily. 
"Psssstttt!!!", he tried to calm me again. 
One of the teacher stepped exactly behind of our position, I started to freeze, wishing for no trouble with this teacher. 
"Oooii, if I catch both of you again, I will certainly make both of you regret on your score!!", then he went back.

"Stupid teacher", he chuckled. Plak!! I hit his head with my hand, I was really really angry at that time. 
"You make this like a joke, we are in danger if he does not let me pass the exam", I said. 
"Sorry, I didn't mean so. But you really really look cute when you are angry, at least I saved your life today", he said with his beautiful smile. 
I was blushed at that time and  I was really really grateful nothing happened to both of us.After that I cannot forget that memory when the first time he held my hands. 

That memory healed my pain a bit, suddenly all of the memories scattered around when someone is calling me. 
 "Oyyy~Cherrie!", Ronan shouted, while he was waving his hand and greeting me with his funny looking. 
"We are searching for you, hah.. hah..Plus..plus.. there is..a.. I don't know a bad or good news for you.. but..", said Ronan with his unclear voice, I guess he was running all the time to search for me in this big university. 
"Ronan, take a deep breathe, OK?", I said. 
I pull his hands and try to help him to sit on the floor for some rest.
"So what's up Ronan? If you feel alright, let's talk in the cafeteria then", I said.
"Noo! This is important Cherrie! Edgey is alive!!!", he shouted so loud that he freaks some girls along the way.
"What do you mean?? Are you insane, I know Edgey is your best friend, but it just....", I replied to Ronan and suddenly I am interrupted by his quick respond.
"I tell you! I am confused, I also don't believe it! You have gotta watch it with your eyes, Edgey is on the first floor, just find some crowd around the entrance,and....", he said.

I listen to some of his words and I do not care what is the rest. I run to the nearest stairs, I bump some people, they are complaining, some of them stare at me, but I run, I cannot bear this feeling anymore, am I dreaming? Am I imagining? Even so, I do not care, I wish to meet Edgey, I want to see him, even I do not understand what is happening. I do not know, my head feel like exploding, it is illogical! how can Edgey appear again? How could it be? I need a reason, so I rush and when I arrive on the first floor, I see the crowd. 

My heart is pounding, it pounds like the first time I see him, the first time when he said he loves me and the first time when he smiles at me. I use my hands carelessly to get rid of the crowd, I need the truth. And now in the middle of the crowd who I am seeing now is a tall man with black soft messy hair, his collar is folded inappropriately, he wears a blue V shirt with black coat and white furred around his neck and black jeans. His face, that innocent eyes, that reddish thin lips, no one else, he is Edgey.

Peran PBB Dalam Konflik Libya

Konflik Libya yang terjadi pada tahun 2011 tidak terlepas dari peran PBB sebagai organisasi internasional perserikatan antar bangsa yang melindungi rakyat sipil Libya dari gencatan senjata antara pihak oposisi dan pihak pemerintah Muammar Gaddafi. Tujuan utama dari PBB adalah untuk melindungi HAM dan tuntutan kemerdekaan rakyat Libya sebagai negara yang bebas dari diktaktor dan hidup secara demokrasi. Salah satu peran besar PBB dalam mengatasi konflik Libya adalah dengan mengeluarkan resolusi PBB yang diadaptasi berdasarkan resolusi PBB 1970 (United Nations Security Council 1970) pada tanggal 26 Febuari 2011 yang diantaranya tercantum sanksi dan aturan terhadap baik negara Libya maupun kepemimpinan Muammar Gaddafi pada saat itu, sebagai berikut:
  1. Menuntut berakhirnya dengan segera gencatan senjata dan kekerasan serta semua serangan dan pelanggaran kepada penduduk sipil.
  2. Menuntut pemerintah Libya mengambil semua langkah untuk melindungi rakyat sipil dan memenuhi kebutuhan dasar mereka, dan memastikan bantuan kemanusiaan dilakukan dengan segera dan tanpa halangan. 
  3. Meminta negara-negara anggota PBB untuk mengambil langkah yang diperlukan untuk melindungi penduduk sipil dan mereka yang tinggal di wilayah yang terancam yakni yang berada di wilayah Arab Libya Jamahiriya, termasuk Benghazi. Namun tidak termasuk pejabat asing yang menjadi bagian dari pemerintah Libya. 
  4. Memutuskan untuk memberlakukan larangan penerbangan di wilayah udara Arab Libya Jamahiriya untuk melindungi penduduk sipil. Namun pesawat kemanusiaan dan pesawat PBB, serta Liga Arab dikecualikan. 
  5. Memperkuat embargo senjata yang dijatuhkan pada 26 Februari, dengan meminta negara-negara PBB untuk menginspeksi wilayah mereka. Termasuk bandara udara, pelabuhan laut, dan udara di atas laut, kapal, dan pesawat yang terbang menuju atau dari Libya jika mereka memiliki informasi kuat bahwa muatan mengandung barang militer yang dilarang atau tentara bayaran yang sedang dikirim. 
  6. Memerintahkan semua negara untuk menghalangi pesawat yang dimiliki Libya, dioperasikan, atau memiliki izin dari Libya. Atau pesawat jenis apapun yang dipercaya membawa senjata terlarang atau tentara bayaran yang sedang diangkut, maupun berada di darat atau sedang melintasi wilayah mereka tanpa izin dari Komite pengawas sanksi PBB.
  7. Memberikan larangan perjalanan kepada duta Libya yang terlibat perekrutan tentara bayaran untuk rezim Muammar Qadhafi. 
  8. Memperpanjang masa pembekuan aser tujuh atau lebih anggota keluarga Qadhafi termasuk tiga putra Qadhafi yang merupakan menteri pertahanan, direktur intelijen militer, dan direktur keamanan organisasi eksternal, dan sekretaris kelengkapan. 
  9. Membekukan lima aset institusi keuangan vital yakni: Bank Central, Otoritas Investasi Libya, Bank Asing Libya, Portfolio Investasi Libya Afrika, dan Perusahaan Minyak Nasional Libya. 
  10. Meminta Sekjen PBB Ban Ki-moon untuk membentuk panel ahli delapan-anggota untuk membantu komite pengawasan sanksi PBB mengawasi pelaksanaan sanksi terhadap Libya.
Selain memanfaatkan diplomasi dan sanksi perpindahan Muammar Gaddafi ke negara lain, PBB turut serta menurunkan NATO yaitu pasukan keamanan militer dunia untuk mencegah bentrok antara kelompok oposisi dan pemerintah yang menimbulkan korban jiwa yang lebih banyak. Namun di lain sisi, PBB gagal dalam menjaga keamanan teritorial negara Libya yang justru diintervensi kelompok militer dari negara lain misalnya pada tanggal 2 Maret 2011, Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Charlottetown, yaitu pasukan laut Kanada yang menginjaki wilayah pesisir Libya tanpa pencegahan dan seizin PBB. Tujuh hari kemudian yang disusul pasukan militer negara lain seperti Royal Canadian Airforce (pasukan militer udara Kanada), French Air Force, British Royal Air Force (pasukan udara Inggris) dan United States Air Force (pasukan militer udara Amerika). Kedatangan pasukan militer udara dari negara lain disinyalir merupakan bentuk investigasi negara-negara Barat untuk memperoleh sumber kilang minyak Libya yang turut serta merupakan sumber minyak yang termasuk paling besar di dunia. Banyak terjadi kekerasan yang diberitakan beberapa penduduk sipil dilukai pasukan militer tidak dikenal. Walaupun telah jelas melanggar peraturan PBB untuk tidak mengintervensi permasalahan Libya, namun pada akhirnya PBB tidak memberikan sanksi bagi negara-negara yang telah melewati teritorial negara Libya pada saat konflik terjadi. Hal ini menujukkan adanya ketidakkonsitennya PBB dalam mengambil tindakan, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa peran PBB ada yang berdamapak positif maupun berdampak negatif terhadap konflik Libya.
