Greeting After a While

Hello blog, and hello people I've never expected to wait for my next post. Hello again!

Yap, been two months without new post. Or less, or perhaps more? This blog had been (yeah, I regretfully say) abandoned for so many reasons.
One I can tell you, since I have no modem, I can not liberally connecting internet to this laptop. Shit I must say. the only way I stay in touch with internet is by my mobile phone. Anyway, my phone helps me to stay exist in twitter-land and as a bit passive-user in facebook. And yeah, find me on WhatsApp, the other way to stay connect. So nobody could tell that I'm leaving this virtual world. better than none, no?

The other reasons? Been too busy lately. It's not that I want to mourn on myself nor to blame the other thing I do, still I just can't leave my academic thingy behind me. Things get serious when you're in the second year of your varsity level. More task, more work-out, more time to be spent on things you just have to be responsible on. Pay out the responsible you just had committed on.
Hell, Wan, what did you do? Mourn yourself or blaming things as you said you won't do before?

Anyway, been busy in learning your major is actually can be fun. Remember the orienteering thing? It was glad and enjoyable moment. that moment when you could just hike up and slide down the hill and all you could see was less people, more scenery. A mini version of the-amazing-race which (I still just half-believe) is a part of your curriculum. Imagine, things you gotta do as one of the curriculum-assessment from your lecture was race against other teams to collect as many stickers as you can. Hey, lecturing could be this fun! And that really happens.


This is the other fun part of my second year in college. Now me and my friend rent a big (I don't know exactly, but it seems like a) showroom as our basecamp. Who's our? What basecamp?
Well, the geodesi geomatika 2011 of course, and yes, it's not like a showroom with etalase you might find along Dago. It's a two-stories house that we rented for the next five months (it has been a months). And as you might guess, it's like I always going home after 11 O'clock in the evening.

Things just got serious when my ibu kos ask me "Neng nggak gaul sama temen yang aneh-aneh kan? Neng pulang malem bukan karena dugem kan?"
and I was like, "Err.... Those security in Night Club would probably rejecting me from getting inside because I'm not that glamour to get in to the Night Club. So nope, I'm not that hopeless to dance all night long in the dark room full of smokes and drinks and 'dug-stak-dug-stak' non-stop." But surely, it's just I murmured inside my mind.

Basecamp is a place where you can stay entertained because you won't stop laughing hanging out with those crazy people around. Just can't ignore every little things these guys just do. But at the other time, the basecamp would be seriously a place you just want to get escape from because its hecticness (well, for special occasion of course) as example when people gets crazy for doing task close to the deadline. And all you want to say was "Gotta go, before I go nuts as my friends have became..."
But I'll always miss basecamp, and whatever happen, I visit that place almost everyday :D So don't worry.


The other things, We (Geodesi Geomatika 2011) had done our project called Pengabdian Masyarakat bagi Tunanetra at Panti Sosial Wiyata Guna. What did we do there?
We, as the first step in finding their trust on us, ask them to take part as participants in our games. We decided to arrange an introductional meeting with them by games we provided. We tried to talk to them, took them on a walk, played things with them, tried to getting know them. It was a brand new experience for me.

Honestly, there was things crossed my mind that day. I remember looking at them, and I think of the saying "Life will never be the same after you step inside this kind of place". I mean really, all you can see was people with lower ability in vision. And you suddenly stop and stare and think of how lucky you are. How lucky we are easily read things and write things down and see things. And it's different from those kids in Panti Sosial.

We played games like angklung interaktif, singing, penalty-kick, and learning music instruments. But all I must tell you that they don't mourn themselves, and they don't want us to do. I learn that in some ways, we must treat them as you treat the normal people. Seriously dude, think of your perfection.

This social service is scheduled to be a continual project. So it's not like once we're done there, we'll never come back. It's not like that. I really hoped that we can still keep our commitment to do our best for the Panti Sosial. It's not because we have to prove anything to some people. It's just for us. For the humanity we somehow lost in time, and we'll find it again with this project.


And yes, I believe there will be any other hecticness during my third semester. Now I gotta prepare for the final exam of this third semester and other things I just can't let go.
And this blog is one of the things I can't let go, so hopefully I don't leave this one behind.
