Keliling Dunia

…tertulis sribu kata
dan kuungkap semua yang sedang kurasa
dengarkanlah kata hatiku
bahwa ku ingin untuk tetap disini

autumn leaves

tak perlu lah aku keliling dunia
biarkan ku disini

tak perlu lah aku keliling dunia
karena ku tak mau jauh darimu

dunia boleh tertawa
melihat aku bahagia
walau di tempat yang kau anggap tak biasa
biarkanlah aku bernyanyi
berlari berputar menari disini

tak perlu lah aku keliling dunia
karena kau di sini

tak perlu lah aku keliling dunia
kau lah segalanya bagiku
di dunia…

Warriors of Love

Being the most popular rock band in Indonesia, Dewa always found millions of followers easily. Their tunes are quite catchy and their melodies are superb, and everyone like me could get addicted to their songs easily. Domination of Dewa on Indonesian music is far from the foreseeable future.

Yet what if they try to send a message through their songs?

That’s exactly what they are doing, they send message of unity and love. Having seen awful damage done by irresponsible individuals and extremist groups throughout the archipelago, they decided to fight the extremist group head on.

Consensual Sex

Why did I find this topic amusing? Well, to give you a little update, it is currently quite an issue in Germany where a brother and a sister were intimately in love and ultimately develop sexual relationship. They were doing it with the full consent of each other and as a result they had four children. Unfortunately under German Law, incest is illegal and punishable by law. The brother was convicted to two year jail and is appealing for the sentence. The lawyer adamantly defended his client, stating that the law was quite old-fashioned (dates back to 1871) and a form of intrusion to the private lives of its citizens. Basically it was love (and sex) between fully consenting adults and they were not harming anyone, argued the incestuous siblings. You can read the story from BBC here.

Unfair Contract

“Madam, we would like to give you a new contract that you have to sign in. The house that you currently reside in will be shared by other person” said the property manager.

She could not believe what she heard, “Wait a minute, didn’t I buy this house already? I did make a full payment upfront. I own this house and I live here” she exclaimed.
“That is true, we understand that this house indeed belongs to you. However, after careful consideration, we realize that we could simply make more profit by reselling this house to another prospective home owner. We also thought that by bringing new owner this house will be better taken care of”.
