This is Azyd writing...
Hari-hari dimana kekecewaan datang bertubi-tubi seperti yang gue alami selama beberapa minggu ini membuat gue pengen pergi sebentar dari kehidupan sehari-hari gue. Gue sih pengennya pergi ke Bandung aja biar ga terlalu jauh dari 'habitat' gue. Tapi, mana mungkin gue dibolehin sama mama pergi sendirian disana.... She's too protective for her child (which is good).
Orang-orang di sekitar gue mungkin ga mengerti kenapa belakangan ini gue bisa terlihat sangat bahagia dan beberapa saat kemudian menjadi terlihat sedang bermuram durja (aduh bahasanya...). Dan ketika mereka minta gue menjelaskan keadaan gue, gue ga bisa menceritakannya karena gue yakin mereka akan merasa bosan mendengarkan cerita gue yang sangat panjang ini. Dan gue juga ga bisa menceritakannya ke orang-orang tertentu karena justru merekalah yang menyebabkan gue kecewa.
Loh, kok jadi muram begini?
Ah, biarlah... Namanya juga remaja, moodnya suka naik-turun :D
Anyway, header blog gue ganti loh! Judulnya juga ganti jadi "When Your Alter Ego Rules Your Life". Jadi mulai saat ini, blog gue akan berisi cerita-cerita gue dari sudut pandang gue, juga dari sudut pandang 'alter ego' gue.
Ck, si 'alter ego' yang sangat menyebalkan itu.... Bisa ngeblog juga dia.
Write to you later!

Shorter and stronger
Kenapa gue potong rambut yang tadinya panjang seketek jadi sedagu? Karena gue ga tahan gerah, gue ga suka mengikat rambut, dan ada kenangan yang ingin gue potong seiring dengan terpotongnya rambut gue itu. Kres, kres, kres... Lalala...
(Aduh kok jadi sering ber-lalala ria gini sih gue...)
Jangan Bikin Malu Generasi Penerusmu
Saya memang belum cukup umur untuk turut memberikan suara dalam Pemilu 2009 ini (meskipun teman-teman saya sudah ada yang cukup umur), tapi saya sangat memperhatikan perkembangan negeri ini dalam kesiapannya menghadapi Pemilu 2009. Dan menurut saya, negara ini belum siap untuk melaksanakan Pemilu Legislatif pada April depan.
Mengapa? Sederhana. Karena para calon legislatif masih terlalu kekanak-kanakan dan saya yakin, mereka kurang bisa merealisasikan janji-janji mereka (kok jadi pesimis ya...). Menggratiskan biaya pendidikan itu tidak mudah. Kembalikan dulu uang rakyat yang dikorupsi oleh senior kalian.
Mereka saya bilang kekanak-kanakan karena mereka berjanjik akan menjadi pemimpin yang baik bagi masyarakat, padahal belum tentu kelakuan mereka juga baik. Contohnya saja, ada caleg yang tertangkap basah sedang bersama perempuan yang bukan istrinya..... Lalala, saya ga ada urusan disini, ini kan cuma contoh saja :-P
Soal poster-poster caleg yang sangat aneh... Saya tidak mau mencantumkannya disini. Nanti blog saya jadi tambah aneh lagi. Di-google saja kalau kalian mau lihat.
Saya mohon kepada para pemilih, pilihlah calon legislatif yang benar-benar berkualitas dan terpercaya dalam memegang janjinya. Ya.... meskipun saya sendiri sampai sekarang belum melihat mana caleg yang berkualitas karena mereka terlalu sibuk mengumbar janji dan menempelkan poster diri di tiang-tiang jalanan, bukannya berusaha menjalankan misinya meskipun mereka belum menjadi anggota legislatif.
Tolong jangan buat kami, generasi penerusmu, malu karena kalian salah memilih pemimpin.
Oh iya, ini ada pesan sedikit dari Om saya... Ombahmah.

Meet Rama
Meet Rama.
Bayi gembil-tampan-dan-menggemaskan ini adalah sepupu gue yang lahir pada tanggal 29 Januari 2009.
Bernama lengkap Rama Aji Saputra.
Panjang tubuh 50 cm.
Berat tubuh 4 kilogram.
Lahir normal.
Anggota tubuh lengkap.
Nafsu makan besar.
Bayi ini lahir tanpa nama (yaiyalah). Hal itu membuat tante gue (yang notabene ibu dari anak ini) memberikan gue kehormatan untuk menyumbangkan nama depan yang akan menjadi nama panggilan anak ini untuk selamanya. Berhubung pada saat itu gue lagi suka cerita Ramayana dan gue mengagumi tokoh Rama, maka anak ini gue beri nama Rama. I'm hoping that the name will bring him such a good personality like Rama has, and an ability to protect his mother as well as Rama protects Sita from Ravana.
Sekian perkenalannya.
Semoga dunia ini bisa jadi tempat yang baik bagi Rama untuk belajar dan menghargai kehidupan.
Rama, jadi anak yang baik ya!

Atlantis (Mungkin) Terletak Di Indonesia
Berikut merupakan potongan dari artikel di Wikipedia (dalam bahasa Inggris):
Berikut merupakan potongan dari artikel Kafe Kopi:
The South China Sea north of Indonesia have been advocated as a site for Atlantis. During the Last Glacial Maximum, what is now known as the Sunda Shelf was the location of a large subaerial coastal plain that was part of Sundaland. During the Last Glacial Maximum, Sundaland extended northward from Indonesia to Borneo Sundaland is quite tectonically stable lacking any known prehistory of any significant, much less cataclysmic, tectonic subsidence. and northwestward to the coast of Southeast Asia.Detailed studie of late glacial and postglacial sea level rise for the this part of the Sunda Shelf demonstrates that the first significant submergence of Sundaland by rising sea level occurred between 14,000 and 15,000 years ago. Periods of abrupt rise in sea level submerged a significant part of Sundaland beneath the South China Sea between 13,000 and 14,000 years ago. Bewteen 14,300 and 14,600 years ago, a period of 300 years, sea level rose 16m (62 feet). Between 12,000 and 13,000 years ago, the submergence of Sundaland by rising sea level was relatively minor. A final period of rapid flooding of Sundaland by the South China Sea occurred between 11,000 to 12,000 years ago. The submergence of Sundaland during this period was minor in extent relative to the area submerged between 13,000 and 14,000 years ago. Evidence for any significant or cataclysmic submergence of Sundaland as the result of tectonic processes is completely lacking.
Key to this argument that Sundaland was the location of Atlantis is that the Ocean of Atlantis refers to the ocean which encircles Eurasia and Africa, which was the historical understanding until the time of Christopher Columbus. Proponents of this idea claim that natives of Sundaland who fled the rising waters or volcanic explosions eventually had contact with Ancient Egyptians, who later passed the story onto Plato who gets some but not all of the details correct, including location and time period. The main advocate of this theory is the Brazilian professor of nuclear physics Arysio Nunes dos Santos.
Berikut adalah cuplikan video dari tayangan televisi Naked Science yang membahas tentang eksistensi letak kota Atlantis:
Ada beberapa keadaan masa kini yang antara Plato dan Santos sependapat. Yakni pertama, bahwa lokasi benua yang tenggelam itu adalah Atlantis dan oleh Santos dipastikan sebagai wilayah Republik Indonesia. Kedua, jumlah atau panjangnya mata rantai gunung berapi di Indonesia. Di antaranya ialah Kerinci, Talang, Krakatoa, Malabar, Galunggung, Pangrango, Merapi, Merbabu, Semeru, Bromo, Agung, Rinjani. Sebagian dari gunung itu telah atau sedang aktif kembali.
Ketiga, soal semburan lumpur akibat letusan gunung berapi yang abunya tercampur air laut menjadi lumpur. Endapan lumpur di laut ini kemudian meresap ke dalam tanah di daratan. Lumpur panas ini tercampur dengan gas-gas alam yang merupakan impossible barrier of mud (hambatan lumpur yang tidak bisa dilalui), atau in navigable (tidak dapat dilalui), tidak bisa ditembus atau dimasuki. Dalam kasus di Sidoarjo, pernah dilakukan remote sensing, penginderaan jauh, yang menunjukkan adanya sistim kanalisasi di wilayah tersebut. Ada kemungkinan kanalisasi itu bekas penyaluran semburan lumpur panas dari masa yang lampau.
Well.... Who knows that Indonesia might be the site of the lost Atlantis?
Memang teori yang dikemukakan oleh Prof. Arysio Santos mengenai Atlantis belum tentu benar, tapi setidaknya, dari sekian banyak literatur yang ditulis oleh arkeolog-arkeolog ternama di dunia, baru satu ini yang menyatakan bahwa Indonesia merupakan peninggalan dari kota Atlantis yang dinyatakan hilang.
It's getting more interesting now!
I'll continue my research about this issue later.... soon after I finish my mid-term test!
Wish me luck!

Aku Ingin
dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkanAku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu
Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan
awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada
