Fairytale in disguise in Russia

 

If I can describe a word for Russia it could be a Fairytale. It has too many beautiful things that you can only see in let say disney princess movies (?) happen in real life. From The castle, the museum, the campus building until the metro station underground. My favourite one would be the chandelier and the amber stone for jewerly and decoration inside the palace and museums. I am so in love with their architectural design. Indeed it showed their pride as one of the superpower country back then. Yet you can still see the remaining of it traces in every corner of their street and building. Russia's metro subway in Moscow and St. Petersburg are famous for its beauty because it has different theme in every metro along with the architectural design. Who said infrastructure isn't important? Well I guess it is fundamental in any country who want to be developed. As it is built to accomodate people transfer and hence support the economy later on.

 

My trip to Russia was a blessing in disguise.

I would never know that Russia may be cold but still there are many people who has warm heart inside.

 

It has lots of palace that so rich in which every room has magnificent chandelier that I adore so much. The architecture was just so beautiful even under the Metro, subway station that standing in escalator to reach its underground could take about 10 minutes and you would found me sitting twice when its go up because I was so tired to stand after such an exhausted day. You can see the remaining of that used to be called superpower country back in their period.

 

If you might say now they are not in a good political situation as back then that make their currency drop as well not in the level of Euro let say but their infrastructure has developed so well and so you can say the city are well established enough. If you afraid of terrorism or war still progressing or drunk people in the street nope you are wrong the government made a really strict protocol to handle that and you barely see it now. If you happen to know the country it self better you see it in person with your eyes and merge with the people there being the local citizen for couple week yet you can still be a tourist too. You would never know what awaits you until you experience it by yourself.

 

Anyway about the stereotype I think I find it somewhat true. They say sun enlighten your mood and energize you so it explains why Russian are so cold and gloomy because they have gone through 6 period of winter and only 70 days of sunny days. Can you imagine that? No wonder they say Indonesians are friendly and warm. Because we have sunlight every day around the year.  However as you get to know them the ice of their barrier melt as they have warm heart as well. Like my doctor said Russia may be cold but he has a warm heart that explains why he likes to smile a lot. He was just such a nice professor.

Poem Collection from 7 Habit Highly Effective Teens from Sean Covey

#1: Who am I?  I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half the things you do you might just as  well turn over to me and I will be able to do  them quickly and correctly. I am easily managed--you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you  want something done and after a few lessons  I will do it automatically. I am the  servant of all great individuals and, alas, of  all failures, as well. Those who are great I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a human. You may run me for a profit or run me for ruin--it makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me,  and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you. Who am I? I am habit #2: Man in the Mirr...

Excerpts from Teman Imaji

Kotatsu: Kopi atau Susu K: "Menurut Mas, ya, lebih enak mana. Lampu merah yang ada penghitung mundurnya. Atau yang tidak? B: "Hmm.. Dengan penghitung mundur. Supaya sambil menunggu, bisa melakukan hal yang lain. Kalau waktunya sudah dekat, bisa bersiap dan bergegas." Kalau kau? K: "Tanpa penghitung mundur. Menunggu jadi seru saat kita tak tahu kapan akan berakhir. Kita akan menghargai setiap detik penantian." B: "Masa?" K: " Iya. Nilai sesuatu lebih berharga saat kita belum memilikinya. Atau, sudah tak memilikinya lagi." B: "Kan, lebih enak kalau tahu semua kenyataan. Apa adanya," K: "Kadang tak tahu, lebih baik dari tau. Lebih baik daripada tau sesuatu tapi tak jujur. Atau tau setengah-setengah, tapi ujungnya kita salah menduga. Atau yang jujur, tapi terlalu pahit." B: "Saya menyimak" K: " Allah itu Mahacanggih. Nggak semua hal dikasih tau ke kita. Karena kita belum siap tau kenyataannya...

A Tale of my Two used to be "Friend"

  Ternyata cerita drama atau sinetron itu klo kejadian ke diri lo sendiri itu lebih sakit adanya ngejalaninnya. Gw mau cerita ttg dua orang yang "dulunya" pernah jadi temen gw. Yang satu temen gw di sekumpulan grup pecinta alam yang suka naik gunung bareng. Pernah kerja bareng di suatu acara intra kampus dengan jadi koordinator bareng. Berlanjut sampe bantuin gw skripsian, ya cukup diandalkan lah buat dimintain tolong buat sekedar jemput gw subuh2 di stasiun kereta atau saling support selama koas yg bikin orang vulnerable karna jauh dari orang tua dan tuntutan kerjaan yang bikin lelah hati dan pikiran. Oh tapi ga cuma2 jg dong dia bantuin gw karena yg ada jg dia butuh gw, tiap stase pinjem buku gw, pinjem alkes pun dan ga lupa jg minta operan stase pdhl kita stase bareng aja gapernah jadi senior junior stase jg ga pernah. Entah itu modusnya buat selalu ada bahan ngobrol sama gw atau main bareng gw atau emg simply dia ga modal aja anaknya. Sempet dikecewain karena ternyata pa...
