The Real Indonesian Spirit

Angry protests as Indonesia hikes fuel prices.

Indonesian motorists are now paying 33.3 percent more to fill their tanks with premium gasoline at 6,000 rupiah (65 cents) a litre, while diesel fuel for transportation has leapt 27.9 percent to 5,500 rupiah.

Goverment hands out cash to the poor to soften the blow of 30 percent rise in fuel prices

Indonesia is handing out US$1.5 billion (Rp14.1 trillion) in cash to its poorest residents to soften the blow of big fuel price rises a move that might bring the government short-term relief after weeks of protests.

The last fuel price rise in Indonesia was a whopping 126 percent in 2005, sparking mass demonstrations but no long-term unrest.

Analysts welcomed the rises and said other Asian would have to follow suit or watch their budgets break under the weight of massive fuel subsidies.

Taiwan's new government has decided to end a freeze on domestic gasoline prices from June, while Malaysia is reportedly looking at making wealthy consumers pay more for fuel under a new two-tier subsidy system.

Even regional giant India is reeling from the oil price onslaught, with the petroleum secretary admitting Friday that a fuel price hike was "inevitable" to bail out state oil firms selling at hugely discounted rates.

"I think this move is positive for Indonesia in terms of its fiscal position, It looks like that's where most governments are heading right now." Royal Bank of Scotland economist Euben Paracuelles said in Singapore on Friday.

Spirit of Iron Man

I watched the movie Iron Man last Wednesday.. I know it has been weeks since it was first shown on theaters but last Wednesday was the only day I had the chance to watch it. Now I know why movie-lovers, even critics, loved it.. It was really a good movie. It was worth the price, the time and the wait. The technology and effects they used were really marvelous... but like other movies Muslim is the crook but at the end the real crook is.... So much we loved it that we finished the credits.. Personally Iron Man is better then superman...more realistic. I can't wait for the sequel now.

Kebangkitan Nasional, Sunyi Pengorbanan!!

Di dalam krisis BBM dan sebagainya, kejernihan mata batin untuk melihat jalan keluar. Tapi gemerlap kehidupan pasca-modern, seperti yang yang memaguti Indonesia saat ini, adalah kehidupan yang disesaki kebisingan sampah suara. Politisi, pedagang, ilmuwan, mahasiswa, dan agamawan berlomba berebut pengeras suara, jual kecap nombor satu. Nyaris tak ada yang siap mendengar suara yang lain, bahkan suara batinnya sendiri.

Di dalam pasar perebutan suara, di mana setiap pihak datang dengan klaim kebenarannya sendiri-sendiri, tak ada suara yang dapat dipercaya kecuali yang dikatakan dalam bahasa diam.

Hanya dalam bahasa diam, Tuhan sebagai bahasa kebenaran punya ruang untuk hadir di relung hati, menemani kita dalam sunyi. Di dalam sunyi dan ketelanjangan diri, dengan sengatan terik matahari, ada keredhaan dalam kepasrahan. Di dalam keredhaan dan kepasrahan ada kekusyukan dalam peribadatan. Dalam kekusyukan peribadatan, kesucian dan kebenaran ilahi bisa didekati. Dan di dalam kedekatan dengan Ilahi, ada pijar pencerahan untuk mengemban misi kekhalifahan. Dan di dalam misi kekhalifahan ada pesan perdamaian.

Kesunyian menghadirkan kekayaan yang lain, yang tidak dimiliki oleh kebanyakan manusia modern. Bukan hanya kemiskinan keterasingan, melainkan juga kemiskinan spiritual, yang membuat mereka hidup dengan penuh kecemasan dan kekerasan.

Setiap upaya pembebasan memerlukan latihan kesunyian pastoral. Seperti semua Nabi pernah menjadi penggembala ternak, untuk belajar mengayomi di jalan sunyi. Adapun jalan sunyi sendiri adalah yang memadukan keimanan dan pengorbanan.

Tidaklah beriman seseorang hingga mengorbankan apa yang dicintainya kepada orang lain. Keimanan kita tak menjadi sumber pembebasan dan kemajuan, dikarenakan menipisnya daya-daya pengorbanan kita. Para pemimpin di segala lapisan dan segi tak terbiasa lagi meletakkan tangannya di atas, melainkan sentiasa di bawah. Mereka mengalami kemiskinan permanen karena tak pernah merasa cukup dengan apa yang telah ditimbunnya!!!

BANGKIT LAH ANAK BANGSA KU!!!

Stumble Upon Meme

Marzie has tagged me with a new meme … the Stumble Upon Meme! I decided to try it out, here is the concept: Stumble the pages that link to you. In this way you drive more traffic to the page containing your link and thus you hope that some of that traffic comes back to you via the link on that page. Let’s modify things a bit and make our very own StumbleWorthy list. Why have a list, you say? A list is necessary for the participants to StumbleUpon . And also, it’s needed to check whether the participants are really Stumble-ing. Plus, it helps your Technorati authorities!

For this meme, I’m tagging a better living, bouncing off the walls, balidreamhome, barefooted me, prove me wrong, chronicles of trisna,

2. Add your site(s) to the list. Just be sure to post the "StumbleWorthy List" at each site you add.
3. Let me know your blog’s name and url by leaving me a comment HERE . I will add you to the master list.
4. Come back and copy the master list back to your site, often. This will allow the new comers to achieve equal benefit as the late comers do.
5. Register in StumbleUpon and install the toolbar.
6. Go to the sites found on the list and give them a thumb up (I like it!).
7. Add me as your friend in StumbleUpon: Blanne.

BonoRiau Zubli Zainordin Invites You Let's Write A Book On The Joy Of Blogging

Zubli Zainordin, again...I really respect

Mr.BonoRiau

He is a super blogger from Indonesia, well like and love within the bloggosphere, who authors superb blogs including:

Make Money Online...
(bonomoney.blogspot.com)

World Dream Cars
(bonoautos.blogspot.com)

Property Investment...
(bonoproperty.blogspot.com)

The Spirit of Blogging...
(bonotravel.blogspot.com)

Rich Today, Rich Tomorrow...
(bonomotivasi.blogspot.com)

He knows the choice of language, comes up with catchy blog titles, attractive blog themes, and he posts quite regularly. He is smart in drawing in for traffic to his blogs, he is sincere in building an e-Community through worldwide friendships. Above all he is a giver, and at one of his blogs, my avatar is clearly published and my name and others too spread throughout his organized layout blog. I sure feel at home here.

I sense he is one who can really be a blogger who can team up with others and me especially and do one item that is nice, while benefits all.

I proposed to him, let us write a book on *Syoknya Blogging: Perkongsian Pengalaman Bloggers Malaysia dan Indonesia* (basically - The Joy Of Blogging (JOB) Sharing Indonesian and Malaysian Bloggers' Experiences).

Almost immediately he has responded with a yes. And more, tickling this idea with his blogging friends, and possibly expanding it to a point of organizing a contest.

Wow!

I am for all these.

The God willing, I hope for total success, for both of us and all participants involved.

Let us see what shall happen next.

3 Cheers for Mr. BonoRiau!!!

This is brilliant ideas ...ayoh Indonesian & Malaysian Blogger kita jadikan ini kenyataan.!!!!

Oil "Super-Spike"

Oil futures hit an all-time high near $121 a barrel in Asian trade Tuesday on worries about threats to supply and a weakening of the U.S. dollar.

`The possibility of $150-$200 per barrel seems increasingly likely over the next six-24 months, though predicting the ultimate peak in oil prices as well as the remaining duration of the upcycle remains a major uncertainty,'' the Goldman analysts wrote in the report dated May 5.

The price of crude traded in New York averaged $16.70 a barrel on Nov. 19, 2001, $56.71 in 2005, $66.23 in 2006 and $72.36 in 2007. Oil rose to an intraday record $120.93 today on speculation demand will rise during the peak U.S. summer driving season.

Prices are also poised to gain as major oil-exporting countries restrict foreign investments, limiting supply growth, while demand from developing countries, or ``non-OECD'' nations is rising on economic expansion and power shortages, prompting higher demand for gasoil and fuel oil, the Goldman analysts said.

Ohhh GOD!!! I have to change my lifestyle otherwise I'll be in deep trouble. Di Indonesia harga BBM (Oil) akan di naikkan. Pak Yusof Kala bilang anggaran 30% naik. Everybody already make noise and some politician see this as opportunity to WIN in the election. Politician PLEASE don't promise that YOU can reduce the BBM price just to win the election. The price is beyond your control. We have to come out with creative and CRAZY ideas (Idea Gila-Gila) untuk hidup dengan perubahan Global sekarang. Wake Up!! Wake up!! ALL POLITICIAN the price will not reduce don't ever promise what you cann't do.

World Food Crisis

So here we go...

The Is No World Food Crisis Ever!

Yes, let us put it this way as the premise.

Now we can begin to discuss

As a citizen of the world, you and me, we, prefer to have daily proper food on the table.

This is a part of a wonderful life on earth while living in this world. Especially when we do earn decent meals that are nutritious as well as tasty as our right and proper provision.

As the system goes, in a country, the people appoints and or elects leaders. What a leader can do and does, shall ensure that every one of the people has basic proper food daily as a joy of living a life on a piece of land each can belong and call this our nation.

Given that an individual or a family is deprived of a $ 10 food, while leaders spending $ 1,000 for breakfast for example, really shows a scene that is not appropriate. This wrong shall be corrected.

Yes, it is a situation that calls for a knocking into their hearts of a realization what is not being right, in relations to daily proper food.

Let us for this instance combine the population of Indonesia and Malaysia. Out of this number, how many per cent a day of our people is without daily proper food.

With this statistics at hands, both nations can draw of a plan to ensure, every single soul is with proper daily food.

We can do it.

Right from a family in a village up to the natural lines covering both countries, we can either sell or share food.

When we succeed, this effort can be expanded to include ASEAN, ASIA, and the World.

Of course this effort needs money.

Actually we have a lot, particularly the allocation of our budget spend on war and weaponry, all leaders and the people of all nations shall agree not to go against each other in wars, and this allocation then be spend together on food, to ensure each citizen of the world is with proper daily food.

So, please agree with me as I say, there is no World Food Crisis...

It is up to me, you, and us, to ensure this is so!

The God willing more shall I share soon postings at this blog.
