5. Toraja

Toraja, i interested with Toraja's cultures.. because the cultures are unique, and cool. The Toraja are an ethnic group indigenous to a mountainous region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Their population is approximately 1,100,000, of whom 450,000 live in the regency of Tana Toraja ("Land of Toraja").[1] Most of the population is Christian, and others are Muslim or have local animist beliefs known as aluk ("the way"). The Indonesian government has recognized this animist belief as Aluk To Dolo ("Way of the Ancestors").

The word toraja comes from the Bugis Buginese language term to riaja, meaning "people of the uplands". The Dutch colonial government named the people Toraja in 1909.[3] Torajans are renowned for their elaborate funeral rites, burial sites carved into rocky cliffs, massive peaked-roof traditional houses known as tongkonan, and colorful wood carvings. Toraja funeral rites are important social events, usually attended by hundreds of people and lasting for several days.

Funeral Cermony in Tana Toraja

As in other agricultural societies, the Toraja singing and dancing during the harvest season.Ma'bugi dance performed to celebrate Thanksgiving and dance Ma'gandangi displayed when the Toraja are pounding rice There are several war dances, for example Manimbong danceperformed by men and then followed by a dance Ma'dandan by women.

Tongkonan is a traditional Toraja house standing on a pile of wood and decorated with carvedred, black, and yellow. The word "tongkonan" is derived from Toraja tongkon ("sit").
Tongkonan is the center of social life of the Toraja. Rituals associated with tongkonan very important in the spiritual life of the Toraja therefore all family members are required to participatebecause Tongkonan melambangan their relationship with their fathers. According to folklore the Toraja, the house was first built in heaven with four poles. When the ancestors of the Toraja downto earth, he imitated the house and held a large ceremony.
Tongkonan development is a tiring job and is usually done with the help of a big family. There are three types of tongkonan. Tongkonan Layuk is a supreme power, which is used as a central"government". Tongkonan pekamberan are owned by family members who have certain powers within the local tradition while ordinary family members living in the stone tongkonan. Exclusivitynobility on tongkonan diminishing as the number of ordinary people who are looking for gainful employment in other parts of Indonesia. After gaining enough money, ordinary people were able to build a large tongkonan
wood carving

For them, a funeral is a great celebration of life, much like a going-away party, and is an occasion in which the entire family of the deceased, and all the members the village take part. Their ancient traditions involve funerary customs that have been practiced over many centuries and are known to be the most complex funeral traditions in the world. 

6. Reog Ponorogo

Reog is a traditional Indonesian dance. There are many types of Reog in Indonesia, but the most notable ones are Reog Ponorogo (East Java) and Reog Sunda (West Java). Although both share a similar name, there is no connection nor similar theme among these traditions. Reog Ponorogo seems to be a kind of dance that demonstrates physical strength and extravagant lion-peafowl mask and costumes, while Reog Sunda is a lot more like a traditional musical dance and comedy.

The dance describe Klono Sewandono the king of Ponorogo on his journey to Kediri to seek the hands of Princess Songgo Langit. On his journey he was attacked by a vicious monster called Singa Barong, a mythical lion with peacock on its head. Historians trace the origin of Reog Ponorogo as the satire on the incompetence of Majapahit rulers during the end of the empire. It describe the innate Ponorogo liberty and its opposition on centralist Majapahit rule. The lion represent the king of Majapahit while the peafowl represent the queen, it was suggested that the king was incompetent and always being controlled by his queen. The beautiful, youthful and almost effeminate horsemen describe the Majapahit cavalry that have lost their manliness

7. Raja Ampat

Located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia's West Papua province, Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau. The Raja Ampat archipelago is the part of Coral Triangle which contains the richest marine biodiversity on earth.

Raja Ampat Regency is a new regency which separated from Sorong Regency in 2004.[1] The population of the Regency was recently (January 2014) put at 49, 048. It encompasses more than 40,000 km² of land and sea, which also contains Cenderawasih Bay, the largest marine national park in Indonesia. It is a part of the newly named West Papua province of Indonesia which was formerly Irian Jaya. Some of the islands are the most northern pieces of land in the Australian continent.

Raja Ampat is considered the global epicenter of tropical marine bio-diversity and is referred to as The Crown Jewel of the Bird's Head Seascape, which also includes Cenderawasih Bay and Triton Bay.

i thought Raja Ampat more beautiful than Maldives.

Lancarin bahasa Inggris

selamat malam gaes~

setelah weekend dan libur 3 hari, sabtu minggu dan senin akhirnya hari ini selasa gua kuliah lagi. 

kemarin lebaran Idul Adha, Minal Aidin yaaaa semua ^O^

gini catatan kali ini mau ngomongin tentang "Bahasa Inggris" 

ada beberapa dari blog gua yang pake English, meskipun gua tau kalau English gua masih berantakan dan ga karuan.. gaada salahnya jugakan ngeblog pake bahasa Inggris yang berantakan. 

blog English gua adalah praktik gua dalam menulis, susah sekali untuk memberanikan berpraktik English, takut malu, takut nanti di ejek, takut dikatain Sok Kepinteran :( pasti banyak juga orang lain yang merasakan hal yang kaya gua rasain.

beberapa waktu lalu gua nonton di Youtube, namanya kak Fathia Izzati, dia memberikan beberapa tips untuk bisa memperlancar bahasa Inggris, dan gua tulisin di bawah yaa :

> Baca buku yang banyak bahasa Inggris

> Sering browsing, untuk gatau kalimat tinggal google aja atau bawa kamus terus.

> Nonton Film yang pake bahasa Inggris

> Dengerin lagu yang pake bahasa Inggris

> Praktikan!

Dari sini gua dapat penerangan bahwa bahasa Inggris adalah ilmu yang memang membutuhkan praktik untuk membuatnya lancar, tanpa pernah praktik bahasa Inggris lo ga akan pernah bisa smooth.

untuk bisa praktik, lo harus berani; berani salah dan berani malu. berani salah bukanlah karena lo bodoh, dari salah itu lo bisa memperbaiki. dan berani malu, saat lo salah manusiawi sekali kalau lo malu, tapi gapapa karena kalau orang cerdas ga akan pernah ngetawain seseorang yang ada membantu memperbaiki, so keep calm aja. dan tambahan dari gua, sering-sering latih aja sendiri, ngomong sendiri, dan coba kenalan sama bule kan sekarang mudah kenalan dari internet ge ketemu, ajak skype atau video call, listen juga penting.

jadi, lakuin aja, praktik, jangan dengerin apa kata orang lain, karena kalau bukan diri sendiri siapa lagi?!

Sabar aja.

hello guys! good night, gua baru aja nyelesaikan tugas gua zZz mayan capek sih. ya tapi memang begitu, kalau ga ada capeknya bukan hidup ya ga cyin..?!
btw gue abis ngestalking cewe, nih cewe adalah cewe yang disuka sama doi, lumayan ngenes sih ya.. emang cantik nih cewe, mukanya kaya Arabik gitu, bersih tanpa ada satupun jerawat di wajahnya, muka berseri ajebileh, idungnya mancung, gua aja nih sesama cewe ngeliat senyum dia emang manis, apalagi cowo kan?! terus emang kalem.. lah gua? jerawatnya mayan, dan gua emang ngerasa ga secantik dulu.. gua juga heran kenapa perempuan bisa berubah kecantikannya.
Stalking adalah hal yang paling ga meng-enakan, kadang iri, cemburu, yaampun manusia apa sih, pdhal kita ga boleh iri tauuu :"
banyak kalimat yang gua denger "ah yang penting cantik hatinya", "ah cantik kalau ga nerima apa adanya mah untuk apa?" gua dengernya kaya kata-kata yang munafik, kenapa? karena sejauh gua ngeliat ini, bohonggggg... pada akhirnya yang diliat pertama kali adalah cantiknya, rupanya, materinya, bahkan kebanyakan orang malah "RELA" makan hati demi mempertahankan si cantik ini, daripada melepaskan si cantik lalu diganti dengan yang baik.! gua udah banyak denger tentang hal ini kok.
Tapi..hidup gua selalu positif dan selalu usaha untuk berpikiran yang baik-baik, bahwasanya hidup itu selalu ada jalan menuju lebih baik.
1. bahwa gua harus memperbaikin sikap jadi sedikit kalem, otw nih... XD
2. gua harus lebih ngerawat diri, ya emang jelas lah gue 18th dan make lipstik aja malesnya setengah ampun, rawat diri!!!
3. jangan terlalu sering stalking atau tinggalkan stalking.
4. jangan ngarep sama cowo ituuuu aja, cowo tuh banyak, hati bukan untuk disakiti tapi untuk merasakan keindahan dan kebahagiaan.
5. kalau ga bisa menemukan yang baik, jadilah yang baik.
6. SABAR, ALLAH PUNYA RENCANA YANG BAIK.
7. BERDOA minta dilindungi dari sifat iri dan dengki.
buat gua Kalau gua belum dipertemukan dengan orang yang buat jantung gua berdebar demikian pun terjadi di dia, mendingan sekarang sibuk-sibuk memperbaikan diri aja deh, perbanyak asah kemampuan bersaing dengan cewe lain, sibuk memintarkan diri aja lah karena modal cantik doang ga cukup cyin.. okay? dan sebenernya kembali lagi...
Setiap cewe pengen hal normal, disukai oleh laki-laki, menjadi cantik, menjadi baik, tapi gaada yang sempurna. pasti ada aja yang suka sama gua mungkin dia penyampaiannya lebih baik, yaitu minta lgsg ke pencipta gua tanpa harus ngasih tau ke sesama manusia lainnya. dan jangan pernah berusaha untuk merubah diri sendiri menjadi diri orang lain, gua selalu kepikiran untuk jadi kaya si A si B dan si C, hanya untuk bisa disuka sama orang yang gua suka, itu bukan jalannya cyin.. gua sekarang udah sadar, beberapa hal yang tidak baik dalam karakter tidak perlu dirubah, hanya perlu diperbaikin. lo merubah kaya menyiksa lo sendiri ketika lo ga tahan dengan keadaan baru, orang-orang yang selama ini lihat perubahan drama lo jadi kaget sama apa keaslian lo, so HANYA PERBAIKI. setiap cowo kriterianya perempuannya beda-beda, nanti juga ketemu sendiri kok. jadi jangan pernah berubah demi laki-laki. asik gua gatau sedang menasihati diri sendiri atau pembaca..
OTW JADI PENASIHAT ORANG LAIN.. gapapa yang penting tetep enjoy ngetik-ngetik aja bhak.

Holiday is good time to spend night at Mercure, because Mercure near with Dufan or Dunia fantasi, you just enough to walk to get there, like 2 Km or more. Mercure also near with Ocean Dream Samudra. as i said Mercure Jakarta in Strategic place. at afternoon you go out to have fun in Dufan or Ocean Samudra and, at night you have dinner at restaurant around beach, and back rest at Hotel. if you chose room on the 15th floor, you can see some vehicle in Dufan. if you too lazy to walk around you can use bus, that is the one facility from Mercure, awesome.
