Us against this world, baby..


        I am extremely hard to receive that, what I felt some years ago in the elementary school, is happening to my lil sister. Permit me to go back to the past for some minutes. By the way I have done my days at SDN 04 Rumbai. I’ve done it successfully. Things, those gave me things to know things, to understand things, to stand on the right side. I got it already at this school. So much worth it than I watch Indonesian’s homeworks at TV (re: Corruption, Actress’ broken life, etc.). Before I continue my writing, and before you guys reading this, just keep on thinking positive and be neutral. I believe that you wouldn't mind to do that as a gentleman or an awesome woman. It’s no problem for me that we aren’t doing this directly. So I think you must learn how to have faith for what you haven’t even seen before. Even that’s a deal for choosing to get the ‘life’ or throw it away. IYKWIM.
         I am the only one Christian in my class (almost till the end of elementary school). I got many troubles for debating fool things about religion and genre. What’s wrong with my faith? What’s wrong with my genre… what’s wrong…
Every time I cried when I arrived at home, my mom always gave me some of joyful sentences “Never do the same way. They just don’t understand what they’re talking about. Just study seriously. Then I'll give you new dress” (approximately). Oh Yes, I did and still do that, mom. Till I write with this keyboard, I appreciate them well. All of them.
Those fears.. for been isolated, for been seemed different, for been laughed at.
         Pals, it’s hard to love what they’ve done, to understand them, to forgive every single way when they pooh-pooh me. It takes so long time for me to understand why had I to feel these at my under age. In my childhood. Okay. Okay. It's all about past things. I am done talking about past. 
But, hey. Are these not enough yet? How can it still happen to her… Can you imagine if this happens to you? Or to your lovely sister? to your kid? Can you guarantee that you will be (still) patient for many years?
Answer it yourself.
Oh you Justice and fairness, appear please… God bless Indonesia more…

You and I, we’ve been at it so long
I still got the strongest fire
You and I, we still know how to talk
Know how to walk that wire

Cause it’s us against the world
If you listen to these words
Know that we are standing tall
I don’t ever see the day that I won’t catch you when you fall, dek
Cause it’s us against the world
(westlife, ‘Us Against The World’)

It’s not about the distance we have now, so that I couldn't protect you directly,  it’s not about the situation that reminds me about my past, it’s not about our struggle for staying to love them. It’s about our faith in love, and our love in faith, to everybody..

Endless love for you, my Evni Christiens,

“Pergeseran perspektif dan budaya pada perkawinan adat Batak zaman sekarang khususnya di kota-kota besar”

     BAB I Pendahuluan I.1        Latar Belakang Perkawinan adalah sumbu tempat berputar seluruh hidup kemasyarakatan (Geurtjens dalam ‘Uit een vreemde wereld). Kebanyakan orang senantiasa menaruh perhatian yang besar terhadap hal-hal perkawinan sehingga perkawinan dalam beberapa suku terutama di Indonesia membuat perhelatan perkawinan yang beriringan dengan pelaksanaan adat dari suku itu sendiri. Perkawinan adat Batak Toba contohnya. Perkawinan adat Batak Toba telah mendapat stereotip atau perspektif sendiri dari kalangan masyarakat suku Batak itu sendiri maupun masyarakat suku lain, bahwa perkawinan adat Batak terkenal dengan pesta adatnya yang cukup lama dan rumit Beranjak dari tradisi upacara Batak tersebut, saya mengangkat penelitian pergeseran kebudayaan pada perkawinan adat batak Toba saat ini. Beberapa hari yang lalu tepatnya tanggal 14 Desember 2013 saya menghadiri sebuah perhelatan perkawinan adat Batak Toba di dae...

… do it all for the glory of…me?

  What is the first thing we think and do when we wake up in the morning? What do we desire the most? What worries us the most? What is our greatest fear? What makes us very sad? What makes us very happy? All the questions above can help us find out who or what we worship every day. For we humans are worshipping beings. There is always something we desire the most. Either ourselves, our money, our career, our study, or even our relationship with another human. All these temporal things fill our lives every day. Well is it wrong to do this stuff? No. We may and must do that, even anything! But...  “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.  “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive”                                                          ...

Is there any light in the darkest valley?

It was Sunday and quite cloudy. It was still 4:30 p.m. but already getting dark.   I decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air, hoping that my cold and headache would get better. At first, I wasn't so sure to do that, because it started to windy too. 80% could be rained on in a few minutes, and still, I kept going outside. After that scar on August 2021, I avoid listening to music while I walk. Instead, I prefer listening to podcasts. This helped me at least to stop focusing on the pain. The sermons keep "cleansing" and "preparing" me for everything ahead, including His plan in this uncertain world. And I am very thankful for that.  The podcast I listened was the very first Arche Jugend podcast this year. It was about the grace of God in connection with His justice (Psalm 103). One of the messages was: *"Imagine standing alone before a hungry lion with no weapons or anything to save you from it. You will become directly afraid of being attacked and eat...
