HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
It has been 65 years since our founding fathers proclaimed Indonesia as a nation..
It has been 65 years since our people shouted their voices of triumph and victory..
And it has been 65 years this nation learned.
This morning, I was invited to attend the 17/08 ceremony at the governor's office field. As what you expect to see, there were governmental officers, generals, and of course, the "pasukan pengibar bendera." I noticed that this was an annual ceremony tradition which always has to be "preserved" as the year goes by. Nevertheless, I noticed something different. Particularly, this year, this time, this moment. It was the moment when I put my right hand on the edge of my right's eyebrow and both of my eyes started to follow every single movement of that thing. That thing which was being struggled for over years. Bendera Merah Putih. I was thinking, what's so special about this rectangular form, coloured with red-white painting without any picture in it?
I was drowned into my own imagination and I saw this: my own face. It was in the flag! I am Indonesian. I pictured it myself! You can do it too, friends. Look at the red-white prestigious flag and draw yourself there. I have to do something for this nation. I really have to, or else my picture wouldn't mean a single thing.
I am truly Indonesian. :)

I don't want to call it as a "struggle".
It's the early week in this month. However, seems like I've been burdened with all weeks' tasks for a whole month. Not to grumble, but that's the fact. I am (very) busy. Hahaha.. :p
Firstly in the morning, I woke up at around 6.30. Tidied up my bed then went downstairs to pray and have my renungan pagi. Then I cooked rice. Swept the floor. Showered up. Checked some information on my laptop 'sambil' having my breakfast (this was the beginning when all these complicated things started to attack me today, I guess). I broke my promise. I should have had fast today, but I didn't do it. My fault.
Secondly, I finally arrived in campus. Immediately I forced both of my feet to reach the meeting room. I got in. Well, I guess you may be asking what room was I in. It was the room where I would have the workshop of Vis moot. The workshop went good and I have to say that it helped me to understand what on earth 'arbitration' is. However, the thing happened in this room was: I was the only student who was just in the first grade of this faculty. Yes, it was this: Hello, my name's Grace, from batch 2009. What a batch.
Thirdly, the workshop finished, then I planned to directly back home. It was 12:30 pm. I just remembered that I've left my notebook in a class yesterday. So I went take it. After I got out from the ATM, I directly settled my paths to the train station. It was around 1:15pm. The train which I used to take was supposed to be in this station on 1:50 pm. But guys, you should know this news: I waited for nearly 2 hours for the train! It was sucked. I didn't like. Moreover, the weather seemed not really friendly today. The train finally came. I got in the crowded, crowded, crowded mass, people are all around.
St. Lenteng Agung was drowned by this heavy rain today. For the first time in my life, I was faced by this kind of situation. "I have to reach home asap," I think. My head said that I have to buy an umbrella. I bought it, by a little bit of bargaining with the seller. I went down to the street and........
OKAY, Grace. "This is gonna be alright," relieving myself from that anxiety of 'kebanjiran'. I finally had this 'angkot' which then took me to Kebagusan IV. In the middle of my way in the 'angkot', a 'bule' got in. She looked happy that she asked me a lot.
Today's good. I was grateful.

Whoopss!
I had a nice day today.. I had my English and Antropology classes,then went straight to continue my BPMB activities which was,ehm,tiring yet exciting..
Such an honor that Prof. Dr. (Jur) O.C. Kaligis,S.H,LL.M and Prof. Hikmahanto Juwana attended our university as speakers. They were and they are, very brilliant.
However, what I am trying to say here is not about those sort of things. I have another matter to be shared. I was "trapped" in a situation I had to face. It was all starting from:asking identity,for exact,this "X's identity". I was like:"whoopss (actually:YAY!),I have to get it,I have to get it.."
Well,it was such a "so so" introduction to actually having a introductory chat with "X",but it's okay..At least we had made a start (ahhaaa) :p
hmm..
it was a "whoopss" day,wasn't it? :)
