Dansa (o-o-o-o-o)

Hari ini aku menemani mamaku les dansa di Jl. Gembong 52 (mamaku dulu muda = penari hebat  :D ). Kebetulan ada adiknya engkong yang jadi guru dansa di sana. Hahahaha. Orang-orang di sana sudah tua semua (50-70 tahunan), aku merasa salah masuk ruangan. Wew.

Ini mamaku diajarin langkah kaki yang bener

Yang baju hijau --> 77 tahun !!!

Ini mamaku dah mulai bisa dikit-dikit

Tempatnya dibuat los, ada 2 tenis meja di belakang. Ada yang nyanyi2 di panggung, nyanyian itu sekaligus untuk musik pengiring dansanya. Entah komunitas apa ini namanya, keanggotaannya bayar Rp 200 ribu waktu pertama kali daftar dan Rp 40 ribu administrasi tiap bulan.

WELCOME MESSAGE :

Congratulations! I’m Prefect Gemma Farley, and I’m delighted to welcome you to SLYTHERIN HOUSE. Our emblem is the serpent, the wisest of creatures; our house colours are emerald green and silver, and our common room lies behind a concealed entrance down in the dungeons. As you’ll see, its windows look out into the depths of the Hogwarts lake. We often see the giant squid swooshing by – and sometimes more interesting creatures. We like to feel that our hangout has the aura of a mysterious, underwater shipwreck.

Now, there are a few things you should know about Slytherin – and a few you should forget.

Firstly, let’s dispel a few myths. You might have heard rumours about Slytherin house – that we’re all into the Dark Arts, and will only talk to you if your great-grandfather was a famous wizard, and rubbish like that. Well, you don’t want to believe everything you hear from competing houses. I’m not denying that we’ve produced our share of Dark wizards, but so have the other three houses – they just don’t like admitting it. And yes, we have traditionally tended to take students who come from long lines of witches and wizards, but nowadays you’ll find plenty of people in Slytherin house who have at least one Muggle parent.

Here’s a little-known fact that the other three houses don’t bring up much: Merlin was a Slytherin. Yes, Merlin himself, the most famous wizard in history! He learned all he knew in this very house! Do you want to follow in the footsteps of Merlin? Or would you rather sit at the old desk of that illustrious ex-Hufflepuff, Eglantine Puffett, inventor of the Self-Soaping Dishcloth?

I didn’t think so.

But that’s enough about what we’re not. Let’s talk about what we are, which is the coolest and edgiest house in this school. We play to win, because we care about the honour and traditions of Slytherin.

We also get respect from our fellow students. Yes, some of that respect might be tinged with fear, because of our Dark reputation, but you know what? It can be fun, having a reputation for walking on the wild side. Chuck out a few hints that you’ve got access to a whole library of curses, and see whether anyone feels like nicking your pencil case.

But we’re not bad people. We’re like our emblem, the snake: sleek, powerful, and frequently misunderstood.

For instance, we Slytherins look after our own – which is more than you can say for Ravenclaw. Apart from being the biggest bunch of swots you ever met, Ravenclaws are famous for clambering over each other to get good marks, whereas we Slytherins are brothers. The corridors of Hogwarts can throw up surprises for the unwary, and you’ll be glad you’ve got the Serpents on your side as you move around the school. As far as we’re concerned, once you’ve become a snake, you’re one of ours – one of the elite.

Because you know what Salazar Slytherin looked for in his chosen students? The seeds of greatness. You’ve been chosen by this house because you’ve got the potential to be great, in the true sense of the word. All right, you might see a couple of people hanging around the common room whom you might not think are destined for anything special. Well, keep that to yourself. If the Sorting Hat put them in here, there’s something great about them, and don’t you forget it.

And talking of people who aren’t destined for greatness, I haven’t mentioned the Gryffindors. Now, a lot of people say that Slytherins and Gryffindors represent two sides of the same coin. Personally, I think Gryffindors are nothing more than wannabe Slytherins. Mind you, some people say that Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor prized the same kinds of students, so perhaps we are more similar than we like to think. But that doesn’t mean that we cosy up with Gryffindors. They like beating us only slightly less than we like beating them.

A few more things you might need to know: our house ghost is the Bloody Baron. If you get on the right side of him he’ll sometimes agree to frighten people for you. Just don’t ask him how he got bloodstained; he doesn’t like it.

The password to the common room changes every fortnight. Keep an eye on the noticeboard. Never bring anyone from another house into our common room or tell them our password. No outsider has entered it for more than seven centuries.

Well, I think that’s all for now. I’m sure you’ll like our dormitories. We sleep in ancient four-posters with green silk hangings, and bedspreads embroidered with silver thread. Medieval tapestries depicting the adventures of famous Slytherins cover the walls, and silver lanterns hang from the ceilings. You’ll sleep well; it’s very soothing, listening to the lake water lapping against the windows at night.

Idealisme

Sering mendengar kata "idealisme" tapi sudah pahamkah dengan artinya?

Menurut Wikipedia, idealisme berasal dari kata ide yang artinya adalah dunia di dalam jiwa (Plato), jadi pandangan ini lebih menekankan hal-hal bersifat ide, dan merendahkan hal-hal yang materi dan fisik. Realitas sendiri dijelaskan dengan gejala-gejala psikis, roh, pikiran, diri, pikiran mutlak, bukan berkenaan dengan materi. Definisinya terlalu rumit dan susah dipahami maknanya. Biar aku mudahkan definisi ini menurut pemahamanku.

Idealisme bagiku adalah suatu pegangan hidup tiap orang yang diyakini dapat memberikan kepuasan diri bila terwujud. Atau bisa diartikan dengan hal apa saja yang ideal bagimu. Kesempurnaan dalam idealisme akan terwujud bila orang tidak munafik, apa yang ia maksudkan dalam idealisnya bisa ia terapkan sehari-hari. Misalnya idealisme-ku adalah hidup SEHAT, DAMAI, BERKECUKUPAN, dekat dengan TUHAN dan KELUARGA, dan lingkungan mendukung semua hal tersebut. Bila idealisme ini terwujud, bisa dipastikan bahwa apa yang akan dijalani dalam hidup membuatku bahagia.

Namun sayangnya, beda kepala = beda isi = beda motivasi = beda tujuan = beda idealisme. Karena tidak samanya pegangan hidup, aku berusaha untuk BERSABAR kalau harus menghadapi orang-orang yang punya idealisme tinggi. Banyak orang yang punya standar idealisme lebih tinggi di atasku, dan susahnya bila orang tersebut koleris. Artinya tidak mudah untuk bekerjasama sementara orang tersebut seenaknya sendiri INGIN MENYAMAKAN pemikiran idealisnya dengan diriku. Hanya bisa bersabar dan bersabar, toh aku juga sering seenaknya sendiri :p

Pada intinya, tiap orang harus menyadari bahwa idealisme tiap orang bisa BERBEDA, sehingga tidak bisa disamaratakan, tidak bisa dipaksakan, hanya harus DIHORMATI dan DIHARGAI.

...

Akhir-akhir ini sering kecapekan :( mungkin karena tugas baja yang menggila. Setelah tugas baja selesai, aku akan buat 1 post khusus mengenai tugas baja ini. Hahaha. Ada ide menulis tentang idealisme tapi lagi tidak mood nulis topik berat, jadi idenya ditampung dulu aja di otak. Semoga tugas baja ini segera bisa selesai dan hidupku normal kembali. Amen.
