Song of End of Times: The Verse of Forgiveness

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:40 PM Beneath the facade Enter the lustful thought Hear the whispers O! What a lure Lies take you Desires overcame you Time again you fell Hands on the darkness Enter the faults Never you see? Errors are made to better you Villains are born to separate lights from darkness Erupt your consciousness Reap the benefits of forgiveness Enlightening in every corners Now or then, now or will be Desires can lure you too Into His forgiveness you can return Neglect the world you will do Gain wisdom you have to do Soon the world will be dark Anxiety will rule your heart Venoms will become foods Into His Words you must turn to Overlord of All Truths Redeemer of All Faults | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

The Scorched Beirut: Why Oh Why?

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:24 PM Arabs and Israelis decisions to simply whack each other whenever the need to purge each other out of that tiny piece of land in between Asia and Europe has reached a new height in recent Hezbollah-Israel Defence Forces whackfest. So far, Lebanon (where Hezbollah hides) suffers the consequences of becoming IDF out-of-fear blind rage while Hezbollah (who has become the autocatalyst for the new earthscorching moment) plays hide-and-seeks with rocket-launchers. Closing to 500 people died so far, mostly children and all those innocent adults from both sexes (and mostly Arabians). For Israel, the "Summer Rain" of metals and sulphurs are their only way to protect their existence. For Hezbollah, their firey spears are made to strike the God's Cursed and fulfilling the prophecy that one day, even stones will show where a son of Israel hides and they will be thoroughly decimated. Decimation, such a simple word, such a simple mean of problem solving. Annihilate the annoyance, and so there will be peace. Well, if the annoyance is a fly or a mosquito, you can swat them, but if the annoyances are humans, there bounds to be complications. Complications such as religious zealots screaming revenges, political leaders looking to gain images by either supporting the massacres ( politicians are not known for their common senses) or cursing it, and people of the world feel "what the?" over the whole whole mess. And what a mess this recent energy wasting outings have been. Fire are let loose, booming explosions are traumatizing, and Buildings are turned to junks of stones, steels, and pulped meat. People are turned into animals (hey, what to call mobile bioligical mass moving solely on instinct anything but animals?) or treated like animals (just another ....) trapped in the frenzies. And the world has gone "what the?" indeed. Blogosphere are abuzz with this recent entropy unleashing events. Left, right, christians, moslems, jews, politics, peacelovers, and even mommies arefilling up their webspaces by words inspired by Israel's (and yours truly have joint in the craze with this very posting). Many turned from "what the?" into "Support [insert either parties here]!" or "Peace, yo!" Yours truly are turning from "what the?" into "just stop it, will ya!?" Let's start with the root of the problems: Biblical Promises that God will give Abraham's Children the Land of Israel and Quranic promises that "the people that had killed many of the prophets sent to them will be utterly annihilated!" Both have been long become self-fulfilling prophecies and are the bases of what both Moslems and Jews Clerics have taught their disciples. And boy, let me tell you, that it is against common sense that religions taught to obliterate others when they also taught to liberate others. Or religions are God's way of filtering humans? I am a moslem. Yeah, that's right, I suppose to be supporting the fact that the prophechy that says "the people that had killed many of the prophets sent to them will be utterly annihilated!" is true. But I don't think it must be a self-fulfilling prophecy. I am thinking in the mind that someday, Jews will go too far , and the world will unite in obliterating them. (yeah, the prophets killing people are the Jews, hey, they even tried to kill Jesus, eh?) Yours truly have enought with revengeful words thrown together with religious sayings. I believe that all moslems world must unite in promoting peace (without the guns) and spreading the peaceful core principals of Mohammad's Teaching. Only then, if we have all truly, honestly,smartly, and thoroughly spreading peace, and the Jews still wish to do silly things to us with their missiles, then we can obliterate them. But why wish to obliterate others when you can expect them to help you shape a better world? And I have fears that even when the earth surface is filled with gamma radiations and we are far and in between, and sick and traumatized, some of us will still try to obliterate others. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Trek of Fate

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:00 PM I went to Bandung today, in a rather spontaneus whim, riding in a car driven by my mother's business aide. My original intention was to take as many pictures as possible using my new Canon Powershot A700 (a.k.a Cammy NX). But it then ended with a movie-watching-date with Lumina, and straight back home afterward. Really, when I think about it, with twice losing directions and no updated memories about Bandung, it is quite fateful that I was able to catch the very beginning of Superman Returns right when I put my butt on the cinema seat. All in a very impulsive and guts-feeling-relying chain of decision makings, how fateful right? | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 1 blogger comments | | |

Words of Preachers

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:33 PM Some Arab Islam's clerics say that it is virtous deeds to spill the blood of the jews. "Kill Them! They Are Your Enemies!!" Some Israel Jewish clerics say that it is virtous deeds to kill the woman and children of Palestinians. "Every breaths of their children will hurt our children!" It is apparent that these words of the preachers, give high moral boosts to those arch-enemies fighting for that piece of land where Jerussalem stands. So, if rockets fall on innocent Lebanese houses, don't just blame the soldiers, blame the rabbies too. If rockets fall on innocent Israel markets, don't just blame the hisbullahs, blame the clerics too. Preachers perhaps are the biggest and worst reasons why there are so many bloodsheds on the face of this blessed planet called Earth. When God was about to create Adam, He was asked by the angels "Why are you creating a creature that will shed the blood of his own brothers?" God simply answers "I know more than you all!" God, why do you let this happen? Are we condemned because our preachers condemn each others? Or are we condemned because we cannot stop those religiously honourable men bickerings? Preachers. Once a while, a preacher comes and make the world a better place, but more often the world are made worst because of them. So, will you still believe your preachers? | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Song of The End of Times: The Verse of Revenge

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:04 PM Sing the song of the night Of fire lances and thunder hammerings No light, just smoke and dust Out of Life Fight for death Bring forth the lightning, the fire, the metal, and the words Ask none the cowards Seek none the conscious To reap the prize of tomorrow All is needed is blindness Raze the power of the insects Doom the blood of your enemies Seek forth their breath, and stomp on their carcass Justice is winning Extermination is truth Winning is freedom Shout then: KILL ALL !! | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Why Does Israel Exist?

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:08 PM Overtaking parts of a sovereign countries, Israel is like a cancer in middle east, ostensibly there to stay forever, helped by military and financial might of USA, and kept alive by the ignorance of the fat boys that rule arab lands. Palestine, the country and people it took has been fighting forever to reclaim the land stolen by the western imperial bastards and given freely to their religious arch-enemy: Son of Israel, The Heathen Jews. It's a conflict none but God seems able to resolve. It's a conflict that has been everlasting and will go on forever. Is it? Why Does Israel Exist? To give the biblical promised home to the son of Isaac? Or to give an unstable element in right in the middle of the rich, previously glorius Islamic Empire, arab lands so that their glory will not rise and outshine the churches once more? Is the war between Hisbullah and Israel the war between the oppressed and the oppresor? Or is it a faux staged by american oil barons, arab emirs, and jews capitalists to forever hover oil price? Is it an effort made by USA to keep middle east unstable, so that it can forever put its armies on arab lands? Is it an effor made by Iran's Mullahs to purge Israel out of arab land so that they can forever hold claims to become the true Islam and not the sunnis? Alas, this poor soul has no definitive answer extracted out of scientific methods, so this poor soul has nothing but conspiracy theories made by vivid imaginations. One thing for sure: in earth, at any times, war always put out the best and the worst of humanity. Choose wisely which one you prefer. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Ancestors Pride

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:45 PM From last wednesday up to this morning, I was in Jogyakarta, hometown of my father, and his chosen retirement time haven. It's been a long time since I went to this historical city, and I thought it's time to visit it. Can't say I had a blast of good time, but can't say I had a bad time either. I simply didn't have time to visit all the monumental buildings in the city, but I did visit Borobudur Temple, the largest Buddhist Temple in the world. I even had mysel photographed in front of some of its parts. Borobudur. I always to visit this one of The Seven Ancient Wonder of The Worlds. It's an ancient (dated back from 700 A.D era), massive (almost as tall as 6 or 7 stories building tall, built from volcanic rocks), cultural (it has the stories of Buddha's Journey to Enlightment carved into its stones, has several 2/1 scaled buddha statues inside intricately built stupas), holy (it's the center of nation-wide buddhist ceremonies, and monumental structures. It's an ancient, everlasting, breath-taking heritage made by my ancestors, the ancient citizens of Central Java Empire. The fact that they could make something so massive, so monumental, and so long-lasting is a thing that has always made me proud. I'm proud to be their descendants. They, the one who has built something that can withstand 1300 years of test of time, something that can be touched by the barehands of their descendants, and something that can be recognized by the world as World's Heritage. It's simple my Ancestors Pride. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Kurau Field Trip IX - Finale

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:41 PM Well, I finally returned home today. Still having this feeling that Cammy isn't really lost, I tried to look for her in all the places that she could be in. Alas, I couldn't find her still, so I began to think of buying a new camera. So far, my options are Canon Powershot A700 (Cammy's successor), Panasonic Lumix FX01 (it has cool image stabilization), and Sony Cybershot T-30 (sleek, slim, cool looking). I am inclined toward Canon Powershot A700 due to its similarity with Cammy and its support software. Plus, it has 6x Optical Zoom!! Now, If I can assure myself that Cammy really is lost.... | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 1 blogger comments | | |

Kurau Field Trip IX - Day 15-17

by Eko Prasetyo @ 4:02 PM My extended field trip continued on day 15 to day 17. These last days were kinda relaxing days for me. Well, hoping to come home tomorrow....and hoping that I can find Cammy somewhere...in office or at home... | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Kurau Field Trip IX - Day 1-14

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:32 PM Well, the fact that I haven't written about my recent field trip to Kurau is kinda out of tradition. In fact, many aspects of this field trip are out of tradition. First, I'm doing this field trip without Cammy, my trusted, field-proven Canon Powershot A95. I couldn't find her anywhere in my room when I was leaving my home. I got furious and shouting, with thundering voice, to everyone at my home "NEVER AGAIN ANYONE SHALL ENTER MY ROOM BUT ME!!!" Second, I'm sharing the first half of my field trip with a junior FEMALE engineer. Yep, a newly accepted engineer, with a XX chromosom pair in her DNA. It's a VERY NEW experience for me, heck, its a VERY NEW experience for the whole field personel, cause it seems a female engineer working outdoor, in the field, from dawn to dusk, has never occured before. That fact turned out to be a very effective tool to smoothen out my engineering operation. Everyone liked her, and everyone was willing to help her. So I put her into administrative task of taking care of consumptions, permits, and transportations, while I can focus on the monitoring duty. Third, this is the first field campaign where I can go to so many number of wells. Up to day 14 I have worked on 25 wells, whereas on my previous field duties I usually worked on about 1 or 2, maximum 4 wells. Fourth, this is my first field campaign where I can arrange the jobs with my own preferences. When I will do it, how long will I do it, and who will watch it are all of my preferences. This kinda liberating, but also kinda burdening. Liberating cause I don't have to do things that are defined in rigid limitations, and burdening cause I have to balance so many aspects on myself. Fifth, this whole field trip campaign is a new thing for the company I work for, and I have to oversee it. It makes it the first time I have to oversee two fresh thing on my own: the new female engineer, and the new engineering job. Wow, that's a lot first times, right? Well, I guess this latest field trip is a whole new experiences for me. Actually, all of the field trips up to now are very different to one another, but this one feels more different because of the first things above. And another first thing seems coming: this field trip threaten to be the first field trip in which I have to spend 20 days away from home. Sigh. Thanks God there is a bonus for everyday I spend on the field, otherwise I will crack.... Okay, enough talking about firt things and start talking about what is the exact thing I do here. The theme of this field trip is Multiphase Flowmeter (MPFM) Trial. This is a trial campaign to do a metering for the entire phases (oil, water, and gas) flowing together inside an oil production flow line. The MPFM unit has been claimed to be able to read portions of each phases, thus giving correct flow rates for each. If this unit can do what is claimed it can do, my company could have easy, direct, and comprehensive tool to measure oil, gas, and water production of each well, thus able to really know for sure how many oil production it has for the total number of wells in our fields. By knowing how many oil production it has, it can measure for sure how many is the shrinkage factor of the produced oil, thus minimizing the difference between conflicting data we have been having for years and don't know what to do about it. So far, the MPFM unit has liven up to its promise, able to tell the flow rates of three phases simultenously. Plus, it is able to give clues that there are something wrong with the well judged by its flow pattern. Well, that's the first two weeks of my field trip. Here's hoping that there won't be another two weeks.... | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |
