HOLLY BEGGARS IN THE HOLY MONTH?

What a sight! It doesn’t take Tom and Jerry to play cat and mouse. It is all about the authority and the people’s business that deteriorates a good view of a city. Beggars are being chased, netted and soon after brought to a social rehabilitation center they are sent to their hometown.


Are you accustomed to seeing this phenomenon in your hometown?

However, they keep returning to public places! Yes, and the number is getting increasing. That is why the intensifying raids are being conducted. It is believed that these seasonal beggars are well organized. They flood the city in Ramadan month, where Muslims are obliged to fast and since the religion recommends the have to give alms to the poor, they take an advantage of it.

Therefore, regarding the beggars’ presence as ‘dirtying’ the city, the city administration is focusing the raids against those who organize the beggars, not the beggars themselves! It has to find the organizers who have exploited poor people from outside Jakarta to become beggars here. Just wait and see. They are being hunted down now and will soon be taken legal action.

To tell the truth, actually this is the classical account of the year!

By the way, can you distinguish the real beggar from the fake one? Ops, sorry, wrong question, on certain circumstances do you have any idea of telling what a beggar really is and why being poor seems like a sin?

August the month of heroism!

Accustomed to finding this moment: that early in August flag vendors began to appear to occupy the pavement at every turn of cities and towns? Then flags and buntings are displayed here and there in order to attract passers-by to buy some for a ritual happening every body should commemorate: the Independence Day of the country! It seems like the sacred steady colors needs renewing every year.

August is an unforgettable month in Indonesia. On the 17th sixty-four years ago, Soekarno and Hatta proclaimed the Indonesian’s Independence Day and up to now the commemoration has been carried out with the same zest.

And only this year, in the relating month, a thumb-up action happened to make the moment seems more glorified. No, it’s not of the appearance of a heroic film that distinguishes it from the same kind ever—have you seen Merah Putih? But it’s the real struggle executed by the members of the police’s Detachment 88 counterterrorism squad.

Soon after the uproar of recent twin bombings of Jakarta’s luxury hotels: JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton last July, the police anti-terror unit made a raid on a house where suspected militants were holed up in Temanggung, Central Java, on Saturday August 8th ago.

The raid involving gunfire exchange, and was part of a 17-hour operation in Temanggung was not yet a complete one. The bad news is that notorious Noordin M. Top who has been suspected died on a raid turned out to survive somewhere.


Have you seen Merah Putih? It is with English substitle in selected theater

Noordin, the country’s most wanted terrorist, is believed to be behind the July 17 bombings of the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in South Jakarta that killed nine people, including the suicide bombers and injured 55 others.

This leaves big homework for Indonesian’s number one squad; even if it’s true that Noordin was killed it doesn’t change the fact that Indonesia remains under serious threat of terrorism. Dozens of people out there are willing and ready to replace Noordin at any time!

Everything about pictures:  Obama too early to be there.  Miyabi too sexy to expose.  People too eager to go home.  He is too brave to be a real fighter.  Too sad, they are in need of money. These people are too holly to be beggars?  To commemorate  is it a must?  Too sad to let him go.  Too terrible to see a blowup! Too funny, what do you think?  Too long to wait? Visit Everything about pictures at ……………………………… Google

The eternal "I love you full--Ha-ha-ha!"

Long dreadlock and reggae-style outfits were very contrast to what he had worn when he was in mining career. Not so many people know that besides obtaining an MBA, he used to wok in Texas, the USA, Canada and Jordan.

Once I saw him on a TV live show interview, saying, “I created this song in Jordan and he started his signature laugh which made people believed it was nonsense. Not at all! He had been there!

It’s a crazy idea that he had left his promising career and started all over again by becoming a street singer.

Yes, Mbah Surip did some crazy things to make his dream come true.

Mbah Surip whose real name Urip Ahmad Ariyanto started to come to spotlight in Indonesian music industry when he was about sixty. Ironically, he died of heart attack before he could enjoy his effort (August 8th ago)

Mbah Surip is not a legend yet, but his phenomenal song takes everybody’s fancy. It even takes the President to express his condolences—something which is hardly ever expressed to any other artists.

The tickling lyric of Tak Gendong Kemana-mana has everyone who heard it humming. The song is about an offer of a ride to anybody wishing for it. No motorcycle, no car; he offers his back to carry people anywhere they want to go with a funny remark, “enak to, mantep to (comfortable, isn’t it?)

Enjoy his song here ...



Now that he’s gone, his signature laugh and tagline keep spreading anywhere: “I love you full. Ha-ha-ha …

By the way, have any idea to follow his debut at your age now?
