Kemarin sore, mau nganterin mama jenguk keluarga di RS. Karena mobil lagi dipeke kakak, jadilah mama diantar pake motor. Sesampai di RS,  cuman nganterin ke kamar perawatan trus  keluar lagi dan menuju ke warnet.

Ternyata ada sweeping gabungan yang langsung dipimpin sama kasatlantas, jadilah ditahan sm polisi2 itu abis ga bawa apa2…..

Malunya, disitu ada kakak kelas yang cakep(polisi jg) liat2in.  udah, aq cuek aja. Ak telpon kakak suruh jemput n suruh bicara di telpon ma polisi. polisi berkeras mo nahan motorku, trus kakak datang bicara sama polisinya n akhirnya motorku bebas….

G tau kenapa pengen banget nahan motorku

HIHI, rasain deh tuh pak polisi…….:)

Stephenie’s letter about Midnight Sun Leak…

Aug. 28, 2008

From Stephenie Meyer’s official Web page:

As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.
I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn’t mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn’t like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn’t dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
I’d rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I’ve decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this message on the Midnight Sun page). This way, my readers don’t have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward’s head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That’s what inspired me to write it in the first place.
I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.
–Stephenie

Maryamah Karpov

Buku ke-empat dari serial Laskar Pelangi by Andrea Hirata ini memang sudah dinanti-nanti sejak lama. Kebetulan gara-gara punya Toko Buku Online jadi bisa dapet bukunya sebelum di-launching hihi. Trus langsung baca deh selembar demi selembar.

Buku yang tebalnya 500-an halaman ini dimulai dengan kepulangan Ikal ke Belitung setelah lulus dari kuliahnya di Sorbonne. Nuansa komediknya yang bercampur dengan sastra Melayu sangat kental di awal-awal penceritaan. Semakin ke tengah ceritanya semakin intelek namun tetap indah dengan penceritaan khas Andrea Hirata. Misinya satu: Menemukan cinta dalam hidupnya, A Ling.

Jadi kenapa judul buku ini Maryamah Karpov? Dan kenapa pula sub judulnya Mimpi-Mimpi Lintang? Akankah Ikal menemukan A Ling? Beli dulux dan setelah baca, jangan lupa share what you think! I personally think, Andrea Hirata is a genius writer. Happy reading!

The Tales of Beedle The Bard udah tiba!!! Ini terbitan Bloomsburry versi HardCover. Bukunya sendiri tidak sebesar buku2 harry potter lainnya dan termasuk tipis cuman 108 halaman. Dan covernya kok agak beda dengan yg dipajang di amazon ya?? yg amazon warna kuning gitu trus yang di indo warna biru. Membigungkan.

Anyway….ini backcover synopsis nya:

The Tales of Beedle The Bard
contains five richly diverse fairy tales
each with its own magical character,
that will variously bring delight, laughter
and the thrill of mortal peril.

Additional notes for each story penned
by Professor Albus Dumbledore
will be enjoyed by Muggles and wizard alike,
as the Professor muses on the morals illuminated
by the tales, and reveals snippets of information
about the life at Hogwarts.

A uniquely magical volume, with illustrations
by the author, J.K.Rowling, that will be
treasured for years to come.

Oh ya, sang penulis, J.K.Rowling selain terkenal karena serial Harry Potternya yang laku keras di seluruh dunia, ia juga terkenal karena kepedualian nya terhadap kesejahteraan anak-anak lewat berbagai charity work yang ia danai. Salah satunya adalah lewat buku ini. Untuk setiap exemplar buku ini yang terjual, akan disumbangkan 1.61 pound atau sekitar Rp.26.000 kepada “Children’s HIGH LEVEL GROUP” (more info klik www.chlg.org)

Best books ever……

Midnight sun leak?

Just found out dari salah satu blog disini, draft terbaru Midnight Sun yang sedang dikerjakan sampai saat ini dan blum selesai (264 halaman) BOCOR ke public dan sudah tersebar di internet saat ini. Jelas, Stephenie sangat-sangat kecewa dengan kejadian ini tapi sepertinya dia sudah tau siapa yang membocorkan draft ini ke publik.

Stephenie yang sudah kehilangan mood menulisnya memutuskan untuk tidak meneruskan menulis draft Midnight Sun, jadi bisa dibilang Midnight Sun ini tidak akan pernah terbit! HADUH! i don’t know what to say. Bagi kalian yang sudah baca chapter 1 midnight sun pasti akan share the same frustation…

Di akhir penjelasan tentang nasib midnight sun tersebut, Stephenie Meyer memustuskan untuk memberikan saja naskah yang sudah bocor tersebut (264 halaman) untuk di download. Well, karena sudah diberi secara legal, gw pun buru-buru mendownload naskah tersebut.

Penasaran? DOWNLOAD draft midnight sun tersebut disini

Ohya, para fans stephenie meyer saat ini sedang meggelar petisi online untuk mencoba membujuk penulis kesayangan mereka untuk melanjutkan menulis midnight sun dan menerbitkannya.

Things might change, who knows.

Snape?

The Harry Potter books are supposed to be about Harry Potter. So why can’t we stop talking about
Severus Snape?
Love him or love to hate him, Snape has become the pivotal character in the Harry Potter series.
There  are  plenty of  reasons  to  believe  he  killed  Dumbledore  at  the  end  of Half-Blood Prince at
Dumbledore’s  behest–but  plenty of  reasons  not  to,  too.  So  is  Snape on Harry’s side, or is he on
Voldemort’s? Is he bad to the bone, or just a little misunderstood?
Only after Deathly Hallows will we know for sure . . . but we can make some educated guesses now.
In The Great Snape Debate, you’ll get all the facts on our favorite Potions Master so you can decide for
yourself. . . .

Aku punya bukunya(the great snape debate-innocence dan the great Snape debate-Guilt), yang menjelaskan tentang tindakan-tindakan snape dilihat dari Two point of views…….

For those yang udah punya bukunya, silahkan komen base on your own opinion..
and for those who haven’t read it yet(aku g tau bukunya udah release disini ato belum), please do the same( the your-own-opinion thing)….

Gracias…

Twilight

Pertama liat bukunya,yang menarik perhatian adalah covernya. Seorang gadis, legally blond, senja(twilight: seri pertama dari twilight series) sebagai latar belakangnya. Tapi yang bikin ragu, , pada sampul belakang dibawah synopsis tertulis “NOVEL REMAJA”, but I think, oh what the hell………. I don’t care(hihihi…….)

Selesai baca, gw menjadi benar-benar yakin akan 3 hal. Pertama, Bella itu konyol
Kedua, Vampir itu keren
Ketiga, I’ll curse siapapun yang mengganggu hubungan Bella-Edward(Avada Kedavra(cerita-x lain lagi)……)

Cerita ini dimulai ketika Bella pindah ke Forks yang muram dan bertemu dengan Edward, sosok misterius dengan kulit porselen, mata keemasan & suara merdu yang membuat Bella terpikat.
Edward sang vampir, harus berusaha keras menahan rasa hausnya akan darah Bella demi cinta yang baru pertama kali ia alami selama 100an tahun hidupnya yang menyedihkan.

Keluarga vampir Edward, The Cullens diceritakan dengan brilliant:
kulit seputih porselen & extremely beautiful physic dengan history pra & pasca vampir masing-masing. Dikisahkan, manusia akan membawa talenta di masa manusianya ke tingkatan super ketika berubah menjadi vampir.
Edward yang bisa mendengar pikiran, dulunya adalah manusia yang peka.
Alice (Edward’s sister) yang semasa manusianya memang mempunyai sixth sense, menjadi vampir yang bias melihat(syarat dan ketentuan berlaku) masa depan.
Jasper (Edward’s brother) yang karismatik mampu membuat suasana menjadi nyaman bagi semua orang hanya dengan kehadirannya.
Dan Charlise (Ayah angkat Edward) adalah vampir yang sangat berbelas kasih

Cerita menjadi seru ketika Forks kedatangan 3 tamu vampir jahat yang menjadikan Bella sebagai objek buruan dan keluarga Cullens pun bersatupadu menyelamatkan Bella dari para pemburu itu. Did Bella survive? of course, kalo ga ya jadi ga ada cerita lanjutannya dunks.

About the cover, Aslinya itu Stephenie Meyer has statedthat the apple on the cover represents the forbidden fruit from the book of Genesis. It symbolizes Bella and Edward’s love, which is forbidden, similar to the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as is implied by the quote from Genesis 2:17 that is quoted in the beginning of the book. It also represents the choice that Bella has, of partaking of the “forbidden fruit”, Edward, or choosing to not see him

Di seri buku kedua, New Moon, Edward meninggalkan Bella. Alasannya cukup jelas: he doesn’t want Bella to get hurt. Di masa2 kelam itu, Bella turn to her best friend, Jacob(I don’t like him, so irritating), yang ternyata adalah Warewolf!, musuh alami kaum vampir. Berbeda dengan Edward yang serius, misterius & over protective, Jacob Black adalah sosok yang lebih fun, adventurous & warm. As lame as it sounds, secara garis besar new moon ini tentang love triangle antara Manusia, Vampire & Warewolf! dilengkapi dengan some life threatening actions too. Di buku kedua ini, penulis juga membangun history kedua klan vampir & warewolf dengan lebih detil, which is really cool.

Di buku ketiga, Eclipse, lebih seru lagi. Serombongan vampir muda menyerang forks! trus dibuku ini gw juga agak-agak frustasi ama Edward. For God’s sake why don’t you turn bella into vampire already!! ya gak guys? And Jacob,” don’t you dare hurting Edward”….

Hehehe.Ok, I’ll shut up now before i give away any spoilers.

Di buku ke empat Breaking Dawn, the Volturis(Bosnya semua Vampir, dan alas an kenapa vampire masih exist) datang ke Forks mencari dan mengadili the Cullens. Untuk apa? Apakah the Cullens berhasil menang dari volturi? Bagaimana hubungan Bella-Edward? Bacalah sendiri………J.

Buku 1: Twilight –> versi indo, penerbit gramedia
Buku 2: New Moon –> versi indo, penerbit gramedia
Buku 3: Eclipse –> versi indo, penerbit gramedia terbit 24 sept. Kalau blum beli bukunya, Buku 4: Breaking Dawn –> english version, di indo release tanggal 4 agustus 2008. Untuk yg versi terjemahan indonya, gramedia is working on it, tapi tanggal pasti releasenya belum ada

Buku 5: Midnight Sun –> Twilight dari sudut pandang Edward (jadi ini bukan buku lanjutan breaking dawn ya). Menurut Stephenie Meyer, Edward’s side of story about Bella is hundred times more exciting than bella’s. Hah! penasaran bukan?? Unfortunately, jadwal terbit Midnight Sun baru akan keluar setelah Breaking Dawn release. Could be months. Untungnya, sang penulis berbaik hati berbagi chapter pertama Midnight Sun.

Twilight the movie bakal dipercepat releasenya jadinya tanggal 21 november 2008

PS: 1. I don’t understandwhy should they turn this excellent series into movie? I hate it

2. I Got the whole series(except midnight sun, since it is not released yet), and I’m happy toshare it to you Twilight Lovers…………..

Pendidikan saat ini…….

Posted on by whoopy.
Categories: education.

Pendidikan disadari menjadi pilar utama dalam menciptakan generasi penerus bangsa di masa depan. Maju tidaknya suatu bangsa salah satunya bergantung pada kemampuannya meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan bagi rakyatnya. Namun demikian pada kenyataannya pilar utama ini masih sering terpinggirkan. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkannya; seperti kemampuan ekonomi bangsa tersebut, rendahnya kesadaran pembuat kebijakan, tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pentingnya arti pendidikan dan sebagainya.

Kondisi di atas semakin diperparah dengan perubahan-perubahan kurikulum pendidikan yang diterapkan. Satu kurikulum belum dipahami sepenuhnya oleh kalangan pendidik, sudah harus diganti dengan kurikulum lainnya seiring pergantian pembuat kebijakan pendidikan. Ironi dan paradoks yang selalu mewarnai perkembangan pendidikan di Indonesia. Merujuk pada penerapan kurikulum selama dua dekade terakhir ini kita mengalami tiga kali perubahan kurikulum; mulai dari kurikulum 1994, Kurikulum Berbasis Kompetensi (KBK) sampai Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP). Nampaknya perubahan kurikulum ini juga dipengaruhi oleh situasi sosial politik makro.

Penerapan Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) ini dapat dimaknai sebagai upaya penegakan otonomi sekolah. Oleh karena itu sekolah perlu didukung oleh para pemangku kepentingan seperti Komite Sekolah, pendidik (guru) serta mereka yang berwawasan dalam memahami substansi dan nilai-nilai pendidikan. Sebagaimana digariskan Departemen Pendidikan Nasional, dimana penyusunan kurikulum didasarkan pada Standard Kompetensi Lulusan dan Standard Isi hasil rumusan Badan Standard Nasional Pendidikan (BSNP) maka sekolah – dari SD sampai SMA – dapat menyusun kurikulum sendiri.

Persoalannya kemudian adalah apakah semua pelaku di sekolah sudah siap mewujudkan kebijakan tersebut? Belum tentu. Masih banyak tenaga pendidik yang membutuhkan peningkatan kompetensi dan pengetahuan terkait dengan penyusunan kurikulum di tingkat satuan pendidikan. Pada tataran makro penerapan KTSP ini erat kaitannya dengan perkembangan politik saat ini, yakni desentralisasi kewenangan dari pemerintah pusat ke pemerintah daerah. Sedangkan aspek mikronya terletak pada bagaimana seluruh sektor dan lembaga pendidikan yang paling bawah berupaya memajukan lingkungannya, yaitu sekolah (fisik maupun non-fisik).
