What would you answer if I ask you, "are you a dreamer?"
Is there anything wrong with that question? no, of course not...
Dreamer can be anything, postive or negative. I think I have both, well, to be honest. Although I know we should all take the positive thing for our life. Well, that's just the other side of me. If I should answer that question, my answer would be "Yes, I'm a dreamer"!
However, we should see the context and what the effect will be from the word 'dreamer'. I have said that dreamer may has two side, positive and negative. I have my own opinion about this, that every person must be a dreamer, why? do they have own their dreams they want to take? of course yes. That's the positive thing, that dreamers might have their own ways to get their dreams. I've learned some ways how we create our future to reach our dreams. Maybe I should try it to get my dreams. With this, our life would be changed.
But I'm another dreamer. This is different, because this couldn't enter our real life. Sometimes in life, we try not to be a dreamer, but it comes and comes again. I try to let it go but I can't. So, maybe this will become another accessories of my life, for the dreams I can't take. But I won't trap into it too long, although I know I like it. I won't make it last forever, never!
For that reason, I may say that every person is a dreamer, whether for real or unreal. But I don't wanna take it for granted. With dream, it can change our life. And for the dream has been promised, why don't we try to take it in our life? What are you waiting for? It's just the matter of time, and what we need is just do our best! :)

The Guillotine: Fastest Way to the Death
The battled starts adversaries
We bathe in our blood
The worst is yet to come
We've reached the covenant
To kill what we have started
Kill the machines
We've spawned to fight in the darkest hour
(escape the faith - the guillotine)
Heyho, what's up?! I dunno why suddenly I'm interested in this great and scary thing. It's not suddenly, actually, I've been interested in 3 years ago with this deathly device. Why do I want to post this? I actually want to write a story which tells about this. I'd ever write the short story one when I've been in 2nd semester. It will be the long long story actually, but I made it shorter, to be my assignment.
Well, that's only my introduction.
The guillotine is actually a device used for carrying out executions by decapitation (wikipedia.com). It consists of a tall upright frame from which an angled blade is suspended. This blade is raised with a rope, and the condemned's neck is positioned beneath it. The blade then falls rapidly, severing the head from the body. It was created by Doctor Joseph-Ignace Guillotine, a French Phsycian, who proposed the capital punishment in that period. t's used during the period of France Revolution to punish to all whom should be in death penalty. It is a humane punishment because it can kill human very fast and painless.
Yucckss!!! Bloody hell!
You can imagine this punishment when it is applicable in this country. I think the corruptors will not rise and even they who have a plan to do corruption will be sooo scary if they know this bloody punishment. But nowadays, there's no country used this device in their punishment, because it is regarded to be too cruel punishment.
Yeah, that's very cruel punishment in that period. But why do I want to tell the story about it? Well, I'm just interested in the French histories, about the war, revolution, and all, including this deathly device.
Well, that's only my posting. To know more, find it by yourself, LOL :P
Watch out for the headless ghost behind youuuuu!!!!!

Feelings
Mixed feelings now are in me. My feeling shows everything.
Happy, sad, bored, love, confuse, annoyed, funny, angry, and other which are too much to be said.
Feels that it will have no end. But this is life, living in the moment to be like this, living my life.
Not like the straight road, but just like passing through the mountain.
Wherever I'm going, I will always have all these feelings.
But I'm trying to enjoy as the world is on my hand.
I just want to say that I'm lucky.
Because this life is remarkable and the after is more remarkable.
And the world as I see it is remarkable.
Because the world is Yours, and so I'm.
But I won't give up. Whether all these feelings appear.
And even the skies get rough.
I'm giving all my life and my love.
I won't give up.
Because I'm lucky and I'm Yours.

My 4th Song ;)
And this is my fourth song, yeah! Finally I made it finished, fyuuhh….!
This song actually is made for make human realized that this world is now damaged by the hand of human itself. Not only aby the hand of human itself, but also by the rule of theirs. Yes, now, every country in this world are ruled by the hand of human, made by human thought which are limited and very weak. Who knows actually about us, this world and the universe? Of course God! But what have they made? They do not stand on the God’s rule! Yup, that is the reality. And with this song, I made the answer that we should find the way which will bring us to God’s rule! Ya, many people forget about God’s rule, although they always read it, but actually they don’t understand at all. So, with this way, we will be guided. Just check my new song with the genre of pop-rock (maybe:p) ;)
So what “The Way” is?! Think it by yourself ;)
The Way
By Arsvicesca
The world is now falling
Like the crashing down of mountain
The human races are breaking
Like the collapsed building
They don’t have any chance to make another better world
Till find the way…………..
The earth is now shaking
By the wickedness of fellow
The wind is now roughing
By the cunning reality
What can make us to keep stay in this world
We always should find the way……………
Reff:
The clouds were dense in the darkness
With the great sound of the high fury
Did you hear this amazing voice
Of the suffering world
But the sun is still shining
And the sky is bright sometimes
And the rain is still falling
To make cool this heated ground
It is a beautiful sign that we will soon
Find to follow the way…………
Reff 2:
And we will get the right impression
How to live in this limited world
After finding the true way
That we should walk away…………
Breaking part:
We still have a chance to make this world
Better with this way and we will survive
And don’t try to free from we believe
we have the way…………
We should walk on in this path
No matter what we will face
Cause the promise has been made
We should believe our faith
Just don’t doubt of what have been made
Cause we have the way……….
End:
The sun is still shining
And still spreading its light
We still have many chances
If we keep to find the way

Ketika Fanatisme Menjadi Sebuah Ikatan, Cinta Kita untuk Siapa?!
Tragedi
berdarah terjadi di stadion Gelora Bung Karno minggu yang lalu. Tiga orang
tewas dikeroyok ketika pertandingan Persija vs Persib berlangsung. Pengeroyokan
karena adanya fanatisme supporter diduga menjadi penyebabnya.
Salah satu
dari korban tewas tersebut adalah teman saya, Rangga Cipta Nugraha. Ia adalah
teman SMA saya. Saya masih ingat ketika masih sekelas dengannya. Dia memang
penggemar sejati Persib. Berbeda dengan saya yang sangat menyukai Arsenal pada saat itu. Dan saya tidak terlalu menyukai liga Indonesia. Ya, kami memang sama-sama menyukai sepak bola. Tanpa pernah saya duga,
dia pergi meninggalkan dunia ini dengan kematian yang tragis. Semoga Allah
menempatkanmu di tempat yang terbaik, kawan!
Atas kejadian
itu, akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk sekedar share di blog saya ini mengenai
masyarakat Indonesia yang dibutakan oleh fanatisme dunia sesaat. Tanpa
memandang apapun, tanpa memihak siapapun, kebanyakan dari mereka dibutakan oleh
fanatisme. Bagaimana Islam memandang ikatan yang tidak shahih itu?
![]() |
| kerusuhan menjadi ciri khas suporter fanatik |
Biasanya rasa
fanatik muncul ketika dikumpulkan bersama orang-orang yang memang memiliki
sesuatu yang sama, contohnya seorang supporter sebuah tim sepak bola akan
terbangun jiwa fanatiknya ketika ia dikumpulkan bersama orang yang memang
bersama-sama mendukung tim yang sama. Tetapi memang tidak selalu fanatic. Rasa fanatic
muncul ketika rasa cinta terhadap sesuatu itu berlebihan, sehingga ia bisa
melakukan apa saja demi yang dicintainya itu. Ketika orang-orang yang fanatic ini
dikumpulkan karena kecintaan mereka yang sama, maka hal itu akan menciptakan
sebuah ikatan antar mereka.
Ada satu
ikatan yang memenuhi kriteria diatas (yang terjadi diantara para supporter sepak
bola). Ikatan itu dinamakan ikatan kebangsaan. Ikatan ini terjadi ketika
manusia mulai hidup bersama dalam suatu wilayah tertentu dan tidak beranjak
dari situ. Saat itu, naluri mempertahankan diri sangat berperan dan mendorong
mereka untuk mempertahankan negerinya, tempat dimana ia hidup dan
menggantungkan diri. Ikatan inilah yang menjadi cikal bakal tumbuhnya ikatan
Nasionalisme, yang merupakan ikatan yang paling lemah dan rendah nilainya.
Ikatan ini dipenuhi dengan sifat yang emosional dan akan muncul ketika serangan
atau ancaman terhadap negeri-negeri mereka berdatangan. Maka ikatan ini
bernilai rendah sekali. (An-Nabhani, 1953: 39)
Ikatan
assabiyah (nasionalisme, termasuk didalamnya ikatan yang ada dalam diri
supporter fanatik) terjadi ketika taraf berfikir manusia itu lemah dan rendah.
Ikatan ini bersifat emosional yang selalu didasarkan pada perasaan yang muncul
secara spontan dari naluri mempertahankan diri, yaitu untuk membela diri.
Ikatan ini juga sifatnya sementara (temporal) yaitu muncul saat membela diri
ketika datangnya ancaman tadi. Sedangkan jika dalam keadaan normal, ikatan ini
tidak akan muncul. Oleh karena itu, ikatan ini tidak bisa dijadikan pengikat
antar sesama manusia. (An-Nabhani, 1953:41)
Dari paparan
Ustadz Taqiyyudin An-Nabhani tersebut bisa disimpulkan, bahwa ikatan yang
terdapat dalam diri supporter fanatic termasuk ke dalam ikatan assabiyah. Hal
ini dikarenakan terdapat ciri-ciri yang telah disebutkan diatas. Ikatan yang
terdapat di dalam diri supporter fanatic untuk membela tim yang sama ini
bersifat emosional, karena perasaannya muncul ketika ancaman itu datang.
Misalnya, ketika Persib bertemu dengan lawan yang menjadi musuh bebuyutannya
(mis. Persija), para supporter selalu terlibat dengan aksi kekerasan, yang tidak
jarang, menyebabkan supporternya meregang nyawa. Karena mereka berpikir bahwa
supporter lawan sama dengan musuh, musuh berarti harus dilawan. Hal ini
menandakan tingkat berfikir mereka yang sudah lemah dan merosot. Berbeda halnya
ketika Persib bertanding melawan klub lainnya yang tidak dicap sebagai musuh
bebuyutan. Para supporter bersikap biasa saja. Hal ini menunjukkan ikatan ini
bersifat temporal atau sesaat.
Selain itu,
dengan adanya tragedy ini dan tragedy-tragedi kekerasan lainnya, menandakan
bahwa mereka mengalami krisis identitas. Masyrakat Indonesia yang mayoritasnya
Muslim, sudah sepatutnya memoles diri mereka dengan keimanan dan ketakwaan
kepada Sang Pencipta, Allah swt. Ketika diri seorang Muslim berhias diri dengan
bekal keimanan yang kokoh, sudah pasti tragedy tersebut tidak akan terjadi,
karena seorang Muslim yang taat pada Tuhannya, sudah pasti akan takut ketika ia
melakukan kemasiyatan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kebanyakan masyarakat Muslim
Indonesia sekarang lepas dari identitas mereka sebagai seorang Muslim. Bukankah
ummat Muslim itu ibarat satu tubuh? Ketika ada bagian tubuh yang terluka, maka
anggota tubuh lainnya pun ikut merasakan sakitnya? Bahkan, nyawa seorang Muslim
itu lebih berharga daripada runtuhnya Ka’bah! Ketika mereka memahami hal itu,
sudah pasti hal tersebut tidak akan pernah terjadi, karena sesama muslim adalah
saudara.
Sungguh
ironis! Kecintaan manusia diberikan kepada bukan yang selayaknya. Cinta mereka
menjadi buta dan silau oleh dunia yang sesaat ini. Cinta mereka dibesar-besarkan
tapi tidak ditempatkan pada tempat yang layak. Sudah sewajibnyalah untuk
seorang Muslim, cinta itu diberikan kepada yang menciptakan rasa itu, Allah
swt. Tidaklah rugi memberikan cinta kita sepenuhnya untuk Allah semata, justru
cinta itu bersambut dengan kebaikan yang akan diberikan oleh sang Pemilik
Cinta. Sudah seharusnya, cinta kita itu kita buktikan dengan menjalankan segala
yang diperintahkan-Nya, menjauhi segala larangan-Nya, menerapkan aturan-aturan
yang dibuat-Nya. Hingga cinta itu akan berbalas kebaikan baik di dunia, maupun
di akhirat nanti.
Wallahualambisshawab

Ghost???!
![]() |
| Scrooge and Marley's Ghost |
And now, I mix up with one thing. What’s that?! What do you think is that?!
It’s the GHOST!!!! WHOAAA!! So, creeeeeeepyyyy........
Hey, what’s kind of ghost? Actually not really the ghost! Yeah, just the Ghost Stories, hahaha!! Yeah, from now on I will mix up with the ghost stories by Charles Dickens. This is actually for my last assignment in my Bachelor degree a.k.a SKRIPSI!
I don’t know why I’m so much interested in ‘that thing’. At first, actually I really want to discuss about fantasy, because I’m so interested, but because my lecturer said that it would be hard to be discussed. Then, I found A Christmas Carol in my Ebook collection, so I decided to choose this work to be discussed on my paper in Critical Theory. I was actually doubt with this work, but I tried to understand it. Well, okay shortly, I only wanted to discuss Dickens’ work, although I still feel hard to understand his language.
One thing I found which I never expected, the ghost in Dickens’ works is related to one of ideologies. I learned that we have three ideologies in this world; there are Capitalism, Socialism, and Islam. Since
Dickens lived in 1800-s where the Industry Revolution developed in England, he saw many things happened on that period. The Industry Revolution was very related to the Capitalism, and I assume that Capitalism began at this period which the system of production developed because of Industry, and there were created the social class, especially the worker or labor class. The industry itself should be owned by whom has much money, then there would be appeared the investor. Actually investor itself had been developing since Elizabethan period.
Okay, back to the topic. Why should be the ghost related to one of those ideologies I’ve mentioned above? Since Dickens saw many things happened in England in 1800s which Capitalism had been developing, then he also saw that many social class were created, high class, middle class, and lower class. He felt empathic to people who lived as lower class and worker class. In, A Christmas Carol, the ghosts which appeared had functions. What are their functions?
![]() |
| Uncle Dickens with his cool beard and stories, haha |
I saw that the ghosts who appear in A Christmas Carol are as liberator. Since Scrooge, the major character of the story is alienated by society, and then the function of the ghosts is as the liberator for Scrooge to release him from alienation. Alienation which was triggered by Marx, was really closed to Dickens idea in his story. So, Derida in his book The Specter of Marx said that – A specter is haunting Europe --- the specter of communism” according to Marx’s writing The Manifesto of Communist Party.
In A Christmas Carol, the ghost of Marley and three ghost of Christmas come to release him from his alienated condition, so he would save in his life. The word ‘specter’ is the same meaning with the word ‘ghost’. Then, so that’s why I have to say that the ghost in Dickens’ story is related with the ideology. The ideology is Socialism, including also Communism. Maybe, Dickens was also a humanist, since his writings always gave the criticism to the government indirectly which contained socialism inside.
Well, I just make an assumption according to what I’ve read many works of Dickens in his ghost stories.
But maybe I will find many new things after read all his works. So, just wait until I graduate from my university. ;)

| The Ghost of Christmas Future in A Christmas Carol |
Jalan Setapak Menuju Cahaya
Aku berjalan menapaki tanah kering
Aku menyeberangi jembatan di atas derasnya sungai
Perjalanan ini masih jauh untuk kucapai
Meskipun begitu,
Aku tak pernah merasakan lelah
Biarlah rasa lelah itu melayang ketika kutiba
disana
Di sebuah tempat dimana akan kugapai
harapanku
Kuraih impian kecilku
Aku harus terus berjalan
meskipun kuharus lewati badai
Terjangan ombak
Derasnya sungai
Sambaran petir
Kuharus tetap berjalan
Meskipun jembatan itu roboh
Gedung itu ambruk
Tapi…
Aku tak bisa selamanya seperti ini
Kami tak bisa hidup selamanya seperti
ini
Dimanakah mereka??
Yang katanya akan menjamin
kesejahteraan pada kami
Yang katanya akan memberikan kami
cita-cita tinggi itu
Tapi, mereka dusta!!!
Aku tak percaya lagi pada mereka
Aku hanya berharap pada secercah cahaya
kehidupan abadi
Yang akan menerangi langit dan bumi dan
seluruh alam semesta
Karena ku percaya
Cahaya itu berasal dari-Nya
Cahaya yang akan menerangi seluruh
dunia
Karena itu kuyakin
Akan kukejar ilmu sejati
Tuk aku raih cahaya Illahi
Sehingga…
Cahaya itu dapat kembali menyinari dunia ini
*untuk pejuang-pejuang kecil yang tangguh di negeri ini ketika sistem pendidikan negeri ini tak lagi dapat menjadi harapan bagi masa depan, hanya cahaya Islam yang dapat mengantarkan pada masa depan yang lebih baik
