Shaum

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:37 AM

The phenomenons of shaum (Moslems' compulsary fasting) is very interisting. These are some of them :

1. It shows us that humans are susceptible to hunger, made by Allah as part of human's survival instinct, and also to show humans that they are very dependant to nature, and in the end, Allah

2. When hungry, humans tend to have shorter fuse, but fasting is about holding back angers, together with lusts and the urge to eat. Sow with compulsary hunger alone, Allah has provided humans with means to be stronger when managing stresses.

3. Prolonged hunger combined with rather unchanged daily schedules in then turn anyone who does fasting into a very efficient person.

4. All Devil's follower are locked up behind dimensional barriers on Romadhon. This one in the end makes someone who realized it can somehow see into himself when he has urge to do something God dislikes. He has to realize that during the month, his urge is purely from himself, and it's time to train himself not to fallen under inner urge.

5. All the hunger and God's Testament that any good deeds done during the mont shall be multiplied hundred times in Divine Reward. This one is effective to turn someone who has faith into a philanthropist, sharing the pain that poor people has and in the end try something to ease their pain.

That's all I can think of at this moment :)

Loser of Democracy

by Eko Prasetyo @ 10:00 AM

That is United States of America, why?

1. The way the select presidency is not Direct Vote, but rather voting for members of parties elected as Electoral College who will decide who is president by another voting.

Indonesians choose their President directly!

2. Some of it's states put a very human rights infringing law : a citizen sentenced criminal won't be able to vote forever.

Indonesian inmates vote in Rehabilitation Centres across the nation.

3. United States of America only has 2 prominent political parties (or are they the only one around?).

Indonesia has more than 10 prominent political Parties : PDIP, PGo, PAN, PKS, PKB, PPP, PBR, PBB, PDS, PDKB, and more

4. United States of America let Israel occupy Palestinian lands for decades!

5. United States of America help promoted non-democratic meaning of toppling leaders : Soekarno, Saddam Husein, Aristide.

6. United States of America broke the rule of International Democracy by ignoring nations that voted not to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.

7. Need to say more? Claimer usually don't have the thing!

Thin Line

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:21 PM

Back to God is between you and your vein;

So, I think we should realize that if God wants, He'll take His Aspect off that thin place between you and your mortal shell.
Then instantly, since the only place for a soul in this material world is your mortal shell, and there's no way that you have access to your mother's womb (your shell have been uniquely created through the unification of your dad's sperm and your mother's egg, and there's no way it can be reproduced) or the Realm of Unborn Souls (when cast to Earth, you are blacklisted in the realm citizenship list).
Your soul shall be attached automatically to God's tool to warp you to the Realm of The Waiting Deads (The Barzah).

The Tool is called Israil (Azrael), an Angel (although closer to God, Angels are actually considered lesser than Human, God's words, not mine).
The actual material form of the Aspect of God that glued a soul and it's mortal vessel together could be the nervous system.

Man could have it's transportation system stopped for short time.
Man could have it's respiration stopped for short time.
Man could have it's digestion sysem stopped for short time.
Man couldn't have survived if the nervous system is shut down completely at one time.

Time to Shrink It

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:37 AM

Do you really need 20 Trilyun Gigahert computing process? I don't think so.
I think the steady evolutions of cellular phones and USB Flashcard Storages (with media player pluses) show that it is convergencies and miniaturizations that should govern the IT technology for the next decades, along with more advanced, convenient ways for people to manipulate their IT stuffs. I'm talking about headmounted displays, laser virtual keypads, mousegloves.

I,m hoping that in the next decades, PC would look like what is Card readers today : small boxes with slots in front and back it : one for monitor, one peripherals virtual keymouse, one for video expansion card, one for audio expansion card, one for fixed mass capacity storage card, one for portable mass capacity storage, one for fixed processor.

It shall be a truly plug-n-play pc. And Imagine if it is run with battery akin to Li-Ion battery today...but with much much much much larger capacity and lifetime

The Great Spy

by Eko Prasetyo @ 4:22 AM

Connected to prior posting : If God acts as glue for a soul and it's material vessel, then it is logical that God knows exactly what everybody's doing, cause He watches all signals that are sent by souls to their vessels.

And don't forget, every creation, including drop of water and chunk of rock has their own soul.

Closer

by Eko Prasetyo @ 10:10 AM

God says " I'm closer to you than your own veins !"

I understand this as having 2 meanings :

1. "You" refers to a human's soul.

2. Between "you" and "you"'s physical shell (veins are part of "you"'s physical shell) is God himself, acting through his blessing as a "glue" between "you" and "you"'s mortal shell.

Weekend Baby!

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:04 PM

Just realized why we need two days as weekend - despite the fact that 6th day is Israelists traditional day of resting and 1st day is the time when Paulinists preach and pray - To kick your butts up on a training in 6th day, and lay yourself wasted in front of television laying on your couch on 1st day.

Finally comes a moment when everything seems blocked...even sleeping...I'm just getting sick with everything right now...
Stressed by nothingness lead to what? Somethingness?
Let's see tomorrow...

Revelation

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:30 PM

About two months ago, I made two chapters of a novel. I made the as best as I could.
Seeing those two chapters again, I realized that my bests would be someone's worsts.
It's crazy what two months could change a man's point of view.

Take one - Give more

by Eko Prasetyo @ 5:54 AM

P2P, peer-to-peer sharing turned out to be something scary to someone who has a quota on his internet usage.
I used kaaza..it gives me me one succesful download, but never again ever since..
I used emule..while downloading one, it uploading that one to others..
I used dc++..I have to share things first...
The problem is, dear reader, yours truly can only have a total of 500 mb of uploaded and downloaded files...so p2p seems scary enough...
But I'm happy so far with kazaa..it gives me "Morbus Gravis", heh heh heh...

Fat Burning-Agility Gaining-Me :)

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:33 AM

Well, I have lost 2 kg ( roughly 4 pounds for imperials) for about a week by half-starving. I think I'm gaining some agility, not to mention some tactical advantages when squeezing through urban transport they call "Electrical Rail Trains" which has been a sardine can of passangers, beggars, shady types, and peddlers that comes with all sort of dubious-in-origin merchandises (imagine this : they sell from your typical beverages to fertilizers!)
Hmm, when I have reached 65 kg (6 kg more, that ,means roughly 3 weeks), I'll start beefing up myself significantly with some muscles growing excercises.
Speaking of excercises, I have been trying to push-up myself up these days, 15 times perday. I know it sounds insignificants, but it makes me healthier than the average geeks, he he...

Removing The Smog?

by Eko Prasetyo @ 5:59 AM

Will the ascending price of raw petroleum put an impact into the consumption of gasoline and solar around the world?
Will the descending wellfare of people outside of petroleum industry makes the poor healthier?
Can we support oil price as high as 100 USD?
Can USA just shut the fuck up and kick their own screwed butts off Iraq and Afghanistan?
Can someone put an end to GWB (Gruesome Warlover Bush) faith in collaborating in ascendant of oil price?
Can Arab world realize that their stellar wellfare could only hold till the next century only?
Can Indonesia have greater share of it's own oil production?
Can the Hydrogen Fuel be finally realized?
So many questions only Allah knows the answer.

Cooperation : A bridge from communist to capitalist

by Eko Prasetyo @ 5:14 AM

Just hit me last night, but I don't know if it shall hit the rest of the world or not. It is somekind of revelation : Cooperation (or "Koperasi" in Indonesian) is a perfect way to aggregate the power of the capitally marginaled people by put them into a small communisme community.
Hey, don't snarl on me yet, I know communisme means horror and inhumanity when brought in front of generations that were born during cold war decades, but it has one excellent potential : to accumulate any potential that a poor community has, and then, by using cooperation as some kind of collective body, able to become bankable, able to gain capital, and able to be protected, collectively, from capitalistic exploitation.
Poor community just need to form a cooperation, in which they put any capital they had, run by them, and got a collective capital. The collective capital then used to run some business which is run by all of the cooperative members. The revenues then collected by the cooperation, and the profits are shared to the members as agreed by them. Then the capital can be returned as agreed to any institution that give it.
Every assets of the cooperation are collectively owned, even the human resource assets, so that every members has a collective feelings, thus catalyzed an eagerness to run the cooperation.
Here in Indonesia, small and middle class economic institutions survive, with only less than 10% of them has loan problems.
