I wore hijab since I’m in Junior High School, at that time I’m wearing hijab because I entered into an Islamic Boarding School in Garut, so... it’s because of any kind of my school rules. The first time, it was very hard for me to wear a hijab because I didn’t know to style it by myself, fortunately, my cousins helped me so well. She taught me how to wear hijab almost every day in my early year in Darul Arqam.

Sometimes I really want to quit wearing hijab. No... it isn’t because I don't like my school, or I hate my religion rule. It’s because I couldn’t find a good-looking outfit and the benefits of wearing loose clothes.  I always force and cry while buying clothes. Why? Because the clothes style is out of date and so mature (for my age). In my mind, hijab and lose clothes are identical to old people who want to know their faith well before death, not as the young generation style (pardon me).

This is what my uniform looks like, a white baju kurung with a black skirt. I had Darul Arqam and IRM (Ikatan Remaja Muhammadiyah) emblems and name tag (if there is any) attached, but sometimes I ripped out the emblems for attached into the new uniform, in the urgent condition a.k.a examination week I just attached the emblems by double tape.

My uniform rules are:

The principals ever told us the newest rules (her rules maybe) that the shoes must be in dark color. Ohh yeahhh ...

You know what I did? I bought white shoes. And blue shoes. And green shoes. And maroon shoes. My uniforms isn’t stylish, so I need other stuff (shoes) for balancing my style.  

In my early life in Darul Arqam, I wore gamis frequently. At that time I dont know what I should wearing (remember, I’m green). But after times, I’m only wearing gamis on formal event such as IRM event and community event. Gamis identically with rookie.

There is a day when I wearing pajamas all days, from woke up in early days until go to bed, and it’s not only me, almost all the girl did those same things. I’ll grab jacket or sweater for go to the dining room or bathroom.

For daily wear i’m wearing long skirt or tunic as tops and cotton pants. Sometimes I’m wearing those for hang out in Holy Friday (before the principal adding the newest rule, again!). I’d like to wearing tight pants than loose pants because tight pants gave a balance look than loose pants which is make me looks like a young teachers.

Over all dress ever booming in Darul Arqam, mostly denim over all, I usually match it with (loose) shirt because  if I match it with tight shirt my side boobs would be exposed hehehe BTW, dont forget to wearing short pants or legging inside, sometimes (no, everytime) the underwear lines appear.

Since my principal announced the newest rule about clothes, my style is evolutioned. If the last time I only gave a concern to my tops, now I had to concern about bottoms too.

FYI, the newest rule is pants not allowed. I’m not kidding. They (School Commite) thought that pants is a bad clothes which is not allowed by our religion, in some ways they are right but in other ways they are not open mind. Why I’m saying that? Because pants is more comfortable than skirts.

OK, let me tell you ... most of student is came from the other city or province and they used public transportation for coming back home. In that condition which is more comfortable? Pants or skirt? And how if there is any (urgent) situation such as chasing the bus, which is more comfortable? Pants or skirts? For me, as long as my clothes neat and polite the rule isn’t broke.

Then, I’m hunted skirt like a crazy, I’m so picky. So there are so many detail that is being my concerns, is it good looking enough? Is it comfortable enough? Is it detail oriented? Is it match with my other clothes? Is it ... is it ... is it ... is it ... that’s why my mother gave up for shopping with me, fortunatelly my father pay attention to me (maybe because we’re separated), he is the one whom really would do the hardest job ever, shopping with me.

I’m usually wearing A-line skirts with a body fit shirts and wearing a pencil skirts with long shirts or t-shirts with cardigan. If tunic matching with tight pants, skirts is matching with shirts. So about the patterns, patterns skirts is matching with plaid shirts and plaid shirts is matching with patterns shirts, the hijab color and patterns is depends on the skirts.

I’d prefer shopping with my father than my mother, no, my father is a real man, he just pay more attention to me. He know what I really want and always waiting patiently while I’m picking, if I didn’t like the stuff he cheers me up by took me to another store, he knew me so well. My mother isn’t like him, she didnt like my fashion requirement because too difficult or hardly to find, she prefers bought clothes same as her friends dughter  and thought I would like her friend taste, I wouldn’t wearing it if  none of my style.

My favorite items is shoes, I’m so crazy about shoes during my High School life in Darul Arqam. I had a lot of shoes for many kind of occasions, for school, for bathroom, for dormitory, for hangout, for hangout in summer, for hangout in fall, for hangout with friends and for dating with boyfriends. See ... my shoes is my social calendar (and I took 2 locker in dormitory just for kept it).

In Holy Friday we (me and my friends) is busy to trading clothes for hangout or dating, we’d like to matching our outfits from head to toe, if there is any matching items we would borrow to other friends whom had the matched items, this habits called ‘ngojek’.

I don’t know from when ‘ngojek’ term is used in Darul Arqam, when I was in 1st grade Junior High School ‘ngojek’ was used by my senior and so I (we) did.  ‘ngojek’ is familiar things in our daily life, there is one Holy Friday when I have nothing in my cupboards, they ‘ngojek’ almost of mine and left  uniforms and clothes i wore only. Such a weird day!

Nowadays, i dont need to cried or embarassed while wearing hijab, there are so many clothes and outfit waiting me grab them hehe never worrying again which clothes I should buy because they would came to me by itself (thank you IG). A girls in this era should be grateful for fashion invasion, they don’t need to occupied about styling theirself  as those in it. So, suit up!!

Animo masyarakat yang tinggi membuat kantor-kantor BPJS (darurat) kewalahan menerima pendaftar, begitu pula dengan Rumah Sakit – Rumah Sakit yang bekerjasama dengan BPJS, bisa dipastikan jumlah pasiennya ikut membludak. Hal itulah yang  membuat Rumah Sakit seringkali membatasi pelayanannya.

Meski terdapat pro dan kontra mengenai kartu BPJS, tak sedikit pula yang telah merasakan manfaatnya.

Bagi yang baru pertama kali mungkin akan merasa sedikit kebingungan mengenai tata cara menggunakannya, karena hanya tahu tata cara penggunaannya dari mulut ke mulut saja. Tak sedikit pula yang pulang dengan kecewa lantaran lupa atau tidak tahu persyaratan apa saja yang dibutuhkan untuk bisa menikmati fasilitas kartu BPJS di Rumah Sakit.

Dan berikut ini adalah tata cara untuk menggunakan fasilitas kartu BPJS di Rumah Sakit

Cara membuat kartu BPJS di kantor BPJS.

Cara mendaftar fasilitas kartu BPJS di loket Rumah Sakit

Cara mendaftar fasilitas kartu BPJS di Poliklinik

Ada beberapa hal yang cukup menggangu (saya) ketika mendatangi kantor BPJS Subang untuk mendaftar pembuatan kartu BPJS, yaitu:

Jika ditelaah lebih lanjut, program kartu BPJS adalah pemborosan belaka. Bisa dibayangkan ya berapa banyak biaya yang harus dikucurkan untuk membuat kantor-kantor (darurat) BPJS, pembuatan kartu BPJS yang seadanya sampai dengan tetek bengek lainnya. Padahal jika memang ingin mewajibkannya pemerintah cukup menggunakan KTP saja, karena sudah pasti seluruh WNI punya. But anyway, this is it! 6(^.^)9

Actually, my mother and I had a huge project of jewelry making, we spent our time and money learning how to design and make DIY jewelry. We spend our free time making a “peniti jurai” (it was the hottest item until last year) we sell it to our friends or give it to them for free depending on our mood hehe. My mother liking made peniti jurai and I liking made bracelets and necklaces, sometimes we spend our weekends by made those and ignoring our house hehe...

When we were in making mode, our living room change became a huge mess... believe me, you wouldn't want to visit my home in that condition hehe Especially when we handled wedding souvenirs for my mother's friends, it never felt so messy... There is a time when we are crazy making jewelry and the time when we hate jewelry, LOL. We couldn't predict when we start or finish it. 

Like the other girls, I have fallen in love with jewelry since I was a child, I adore my mother's jewelry box and the content, especially the content. At that time making DIY jewelry wasn't as easy as today because there is an obstacle about the materials and how to make it, there are only a few DIY books and knowledge about it. 

If I am interested in one kind of jewelry I will break and remake it, of course, I couldn't make is the same as before and broke it. Even though my mother is often angry about my behavior I feel so anxious and satisfied at the same time.

I started to be interested (again) during my college time, I even took a class in jewelry making at UPI. My basic design is very helpful because I have know the materials better than others (n.n) and had a taste of it, OK, I might still be an amateur but I tried my best. Nowadays, I make bracelets and necklaces just for pleasure, mostly for special occasions such as wedding days (my friend's wedding, definitely) or just for hanging out with my friends. Also, I made it for my cousins and nieces when they came to my house as a welcoming gift hehe

Monsters University adalah prekuel dari film animasi Monster, Inc. yang dirilis oleh rumah produksi Disney dan Pixar pada tahun 2001 lalu. Dengan strategi pasar yang cerdas film Monsters University seakan-akan mengobati kerinduan penggemarnya, karena pada saat itu (2001) rata-rata penonton film Monster, Inc. adalah anak-anak usia bangku sekolah dasar, saat ini anak-anak tersebut  sudah menginjak bangku kuliahan, sama seperti setting film Monsters University.

Cerita dimulai ketika Mike Wazowsky kecil mengikuti field trip dengan sekolahnya ke perusahaan Monster, Inc. disana ia dan teman-temannya menyaksikan bagaimana para scarer (penakut / orang yang menakut-nakuti) beraksi dengan cara menakuti anak-anak demi menghasilkan energi. Mike yang penasaran kemudian mengikuti salah satu scarer ke dalam kamar seorang anak kecil, tentu saja hal tersebut menimbulkan kepanikan bagi semua orang, namun tidak bagi Mike, pengalamannya mengikuti scarer  sangat membekas di ingatannya, sehingga ia memutuskan untuk menjadi scarer.

Bertahun-tahun kemudian Mike akhirnya berhasil kuliah di Monsters University, seperti mahasiswa baru pada umumnya Mike sangat siap untuk memulai kehidupan barunya sebagai mahasiswa. Teman sekamar Mike di asrama adalah Randall, mereka bersama-sama belajar dan berusaha untuk menjadi yang terbaik. Meskipun unggul dalam hampir semua mata kuliah Mike tidak serta merta memiliki popularitas dan status sosial, ia kerap dianggap tidak meyakinkan karena rupanya yang tidak menyeramkan layaknya scarer wanna be.

Dalam suatu ujian menakut-nakuti, Mike dan Sulley terlibat perkelahian dan tanpa sengaja memecahkan tabung jeritan. Dekan Hardscrabble yang kecewa melihat ulah keduanya memutuskan untuk memindahkan mereka dari jurusan scarer ke jurusan Pembuat Kaleng Teriakan. Sejak saat itu hubungan keduanya mulai memburuk.

Untuk menunjukkan bahwa ia layak masuk jurusan Scarer Mike memutuskan untuk mengikuti Scare Games, yaitu lomba menakut-nakuti yang diikuti oleh seisi kampus. Dekan Headscrebble pun menantang Mike dengan berjanji akan memindahkan kembali Mike dan kawan-kawan ke jurusan Scarer jika mereka berhasil memenangkan Scare Games. Sayangnya, Mike kekurangan 1 orang anggota tim untuk bisa mengikuti Scare Games, dan secara mengejutkan Sulley mengisi kekosongan tim. 

Tim baru mereka dinamai Oozma Kappa (OK) terdiri dari Mike, Sulley, Don Carlton, Terry dan Terri, Art dan Squishy. mereka tinggal bersama-sama di rumah Squishy dengan ibunya yang single parent. Awalnya Mike dan Sulley bersitegang karena perbedaan visi, setelah ujian pertama mereka berdua mulai menyadari bahwa mereka tidak akan pernah bisa menang jika terus menerus berselisih.

Untuk menambah semangat Mike mengajak timnya untuk masuk ke dalam Monster, Inc. Ternyata tidak semua scarer menakutkan, ada beberapa yang biasa-biasa saja namun berhasil memanfaatkan potensi monster didalam diri mereka.

Kemenangan demi kemenangan yang diraih oleh tim OK telah membuat pesaingnya merasa jengah, mereka semua menjebak Mike dan kawan-kawan ke pesta yang ditujukan untuk mempermalukan diri mereka ke seantero kampus. Walaupun sempat dibuat frustasi karenanya tim OK bertekad untuk memenangkan Scare Games.

Hingga tibalah saat yang dinanti-nantikan, tim OK harus berhadapan langsung dengan tim ROR di final Scare Games. Di satu sisi cukup mengejutkan karena tim OK adalah tim yang tidak pernah diprediksi akan bertahan di babak penyisihan tapi di sisi lain tim OK adalah pesaing tangguh bagi tim ROR.

Di final Scare Games ini peserta dituntut untuk menakut-nakuti sesuai dengan kepribadian dan lingkungan target (nah disinilah muncul alasan kenapa Randall tidak menyukai Sulley), tak disangka-sangka tim OK akhirnya bisa menjadi juara dan berhasil pindah lagi ke jurusan scarer.

Namun lagi-lagi Mike harus menelan kenyataan pahit karena Sulley ternyata berlaku curang untuk bisa memnangkan Scare Games. Kerena  kecewa dengan ulah Sulley, Mike nekat masuk ke lab Pembuatan Pintu untuk menguji kemampuan dirinya sendiri. Sedangkan Sulley yang (memang) bersalah menghadap dekan Headscrabble dan mengakui semua perbuatannya.

Sulley yang mengetahui perbuatan nekat Mike langsung menyusul ke lab Pembuatan Pintu, ia lalu masuk ke kamar anak-anak yang sedang berlibur. Anak-anak yang terkejut kemudian menghubungi guru dan polisi, keadaan menjadi kacau karena polisi terus memburu Mike dan Sulley.

Pintu yang menghubungkan kamar itu dan lab Pembuatan Pintu tidak berfungsi karena dimatikan di satu sisi (untuk menghindari hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan), dan satu-satunya cara agar pintu bisa berfungsi kembali adalah dengan mengumpulkan jeritan sebanyak mungkin.

Meskipun akhirnya mereka bisa mengumpulkan jeritan dan membukakan pintu (bahkan menghancurkannya), tak membuat mereka berdua selamat dari hukuman. Melihat kekacauan yang mereka timbulkan dekan Headscrabble memutuskan untuk mengeluarkan mereka dari Monsters University.

Mike dan Sulley memang tak pernah lulus kuliah dari Monsters University, tapi hal tersebut tidak menyurutkan keinginan mereka untuk bekerja di Monster, Inc. Untuk menjadi scarer...

When one door is closed, there is another opened door...

Let me introduce the character first...

Adele (Kate Winslet) is a beautiful woman who had a big interest in dance, in the past. She is depressed because of lost her several babies during on pregnancy, especially the last baby born. That condition made her husband leave her for his secretary. After that, she feels that the world is so cruel to her, and that’s why she is afraid to meet people and rarely leaves the house.

Henry (Gattlin Griffith) is a calm boy who lives with his mother, he has a schedule on the weekend for meeting with his father (and his new family too). That condition made him lose a father figure in his teenage life.

FrankChamber (Josh Grolin) is a convict, he (accidentally) murdered his wife and his son (actually, another man's son). He escaped from jail after getting surgery in hospital.

The story begins when Henry goes to the supermarket with his mom Adele, he meets with a bloody man who asks to take him into their house. At first, they act awkward... but they get closer after, at that time they don't know that Frank is a convict.

After a few days living together, they realized that Frank had everything they needed, a husband figure for Adele and a father figure for Henry. Also, Frank enjoyed having they’re. They did all regular family activities together such as playing baseball in the backyard, making a peach pie, and spending the afternoon together. They seem like a real family.

,

Adele loses Henry right and stays alone in that house and Henry visits her on weekends as he does to his father in the past. They’re trying to visit Frank in jail but isn't working, Adele spent her life writing letters to Frank, but those letters are never answered.

And time goes by...

Frank finds Henry's address in the magazine and writes him a letter, he is very happy about Henry's business and asks about Adele, he thinks Adele is married and wishes for a chance to meet her after his punishment is over.

Note: Henry's (Gattlin Griffith) face reminds me of Harry Potter cast Daniel Redcliff in an early Harry Potter movie.
