Dear Mr. Muh. Naim

Jakarta, 1^st January 2011

THANK YOU.  Is the first word I’d  like to say to you, not only suitable but also catchable as an introduction phrase when i have to make my fingers started moving onto my old keyboard (well, can say so, because  it took  a few minutes until I got that word and typed it with caps lock.. *laugh). I did not really mean to show off my English writing ability or tell you that this 25-year-old girl has a good grammatical in english. No.. not at all.. (just tell your translator I’ve just ignored those ordinances) .

When my friend asked me to apply an application letter to the Health n Tourism magazine for the first time I was feeling that it’s gonna be my second shot to get back my activities life as a journalist. Yup,  accompanied by my friend I decided to look  for your luxurious office through long and curled road  (before we got to kemang we had to walk around along Fatmawati street  then found it) it was late of night and we just arrived to our destination (an elegant building with all the partition wrapped by white colour). I have no idea whether it’s a coincidence event or not but you were talking to security guard as I came passing into gateway where you’re standing at. By putting on your casual outfits you accepted my CV with a smile upon your face (Such a nice man that I was thinking at that moment) made my self more confident that I have a huge chance to get this job.

And my dream became closer when a few weeks later you called me by phone to come for interview and I’m absolutely positive that my application letter must have been considered. On the next day I went to your office with eagerness and enthusiasm, hoped that it would be great day for me. By having three times changes of  transportation ( I took buses and bajaj to get there)  for what I didn’t really care about. I walked into the lobby room and encountered with your editorial secretary. Like a common applicant usually did. She asked me to sit and wait.

For several minutes you came downstairs and we met up each other. I got interviewed and you started asking me with bla..bla..bla  (some questions), shortly after that you said “YES” to me by giving me the last question “ Are you ready start working by now?”

I didn’t give you an answer but suddenly  after that  straight  to the point you talked about my minus look. Since the first  time you noticed my appearance from head to toe and advised me to change them I realized that it might be a crucial problem that I was supposed to know from the beginning.

As I told you before that I am a girl (not yet a woman) who never put any cosmetics on my face during my life existence in this world, even for a lipstic (hehehe..I really don't).  And I always been feeling pleasant of that. I never brings a sweet briefcase or handbag like  normal chicks out there when they have to go hangout or attending a wedding party  of a friend. I still relish to carry my obsolete backpack whenever I go. I’m not a girl who’s always concerned about what kind of outfits should be displayed for today or tomorrow. And for that, various stamps will be directed to me as an out date, ancient, old fashioned or maybe  worse than that  a naive and hypocritical young lady standing  across with a class of people who’s always glorify a hedonism or whatever it says. For the sake of my sanity I  would not be mind at all if you really.. really.. think  about my self like that.

Related to the first word, I’d like to say THANK YOU for accepting me as a new journalist in your magazine. It’s  an honor to me. But I’ve been thinking for a while then I just got found you do not have to bear the burden up every day because I cannot give you a new present of me  like you wanted me to do even though your highfalutin magazine will  give  me more rupiahs for that. I’d rather not to change the way I dressed though you’ve already judged  the clothing I wear with pride. for me working as a journalist in a magazine particulary a life style magazine is not all about changing a life into the new trend it self. I’m completely sure GOD will show me the way to work as a journalist but in a different place and time. For once more THANK YOU.

A Blaze in The Philliphines

Filipina-MICOM: a blaze  in the Hotel  at  Tuguegarao, Cagayan Province, North philliphines  on Sunday  killed 15 people and dozens  injured.

The duration of the flame occurred few hours and destroyed portion of the building. Flame was assumed came from ground floor in the hotel.  when blaze happened some dwellers were being asleep nine of them are undergraduate students at medical Academy who are preparing to follow a test license.

“Their family are counting a big hope on them when they decide to send to school and have to end up like this,”  one of the  Official government said.

BBC correspondence reported thousands  of people had died  in conflagration accidents in the philliphines every year.

A conflagration happen frequently caused by building construction using materials  for which  easy to be burned and also in many times narrow road make fire fighters difficult to reach the  house or building that is burned.

No Title

When I was still in senior high school, some of opinion had crossed my mind, made me think what kind of person i'd be like in the future?. I’ve had  always imagined that one day I would become some girl who has ability in writing, make a good wrote-up and staring into space that someday I would stand on stage, holding up a Pulitzer right in front of hundreds of people who smiling proudly at me , or will end up in a publishing-house, facing  thousand of words in front of computer twenty three hours a day. (laugh, hahahaha… “Bermimpilah karena Tuhan akan memeluk mimpi-mimpimu” -Andrea Hirata-).

While I was in a college and  dreaming about my huge ambition to become a journalist, I suddenly realized that becoming a journalist is not easy as I thought. Even though I’ve been studying and concentrating on Journalism major for about four years and just graduated from one of Institute in capital which is famous for its Journalism.

However, I do not think that I would have capability enough to work as a real, real, journalist (well, even I’ve never worked in mass media before, never yet...) but I’m not trying to prefigure my own self as a girl with lack of capability in working as a journalist. So why do I say “a real journalist” ? what's  the different  then between being a journalist and being a real journalist  ?

Nowadays most people make their own assumption to a person who sticks out his identity card as a journalist is just similar to an encyclopaedic book. They all  believe that journalist  must have been  provided with  wide knowledge, only because they know that journalist commonly makes his information update almost everyday by reading Newspaper, surfing to the internet or sitting on a fancy chair reading some favorite books every single time.

They completely consider a journalist is seemingly like “A God-soul-Man"”. In the other words, knowing that kind of person got everything in their heads. No wonder there are so many journalists proud oneself on their jobs. In fact, people really have no idea that not every kind of journalist  learn more about every little thing.

Concerning the distinction between “a journalist’ and ‘a real journalist’, I’ve been thinking through about it. One thing that I have learned is when I talked up with a chief assistant editor of the most reputable Newspaper at Town  a  couple of months ago . He asked me by then about the reason I chose journalism as a major,  Was I  really sure with the choice that I’d  made?? Was it come from the deepest inside my heart??. Such a ridiculous questions I thought at was time that assured me to answer that I had convinced on my decision before I decided to move out from my first major. “ It’s simple, I just want to be a journalist,” I stated.

He laughed at that moment, and I just stared at his face with a little bit confused. He fixed his seat and started to give me an explanation. “Young lady, many journalists in this country claimed theirselves as good ones. They always think if they do their habitual action such as break into a run to get news sources, change a bad news into a good news, obey the rules by writing down a news script based on 5W+IH and eventually find it at the front page as banner headline is properly called a journalism work and appropriately mention them as a journalist. My point is there’s one essential thing to remember that all  activities are nonetheless without committed to put your integrity inside your heart. You should  know being a journalist is different with being a real journalist. A real journalist is always know that he has to work with a resoluteness, I’s all about a choice of your life”, he explained and I started thinking deeply into it..
