2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 18,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Somalia, officially the Republic of Somalia, is a country located in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Kenya on its southwest, the Gulf of Aden with Yemen on its north, the Indian Ocean at its east, and Ethiopia to the west. Somalia’s terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains, and highlands. The weather is hot throughout the year, except at the higher elevations in the north. Rainfall is sparse, and most of Somalia has a semiarid-to- arid environment. Somalia principally desert area; Somalia faces Natural hazards likes recurring droughts; frequent dust storms over eastern plains in summer; floods during rainy season.

Somalia situated at The Horn of Africa

Somalia’s long coastline (more than 3,300 kilometers) has been of importance chiefly in permitting trade with the Middle East and the rest of the Horn of Africa. With this geographic ituation, Somalia is facing problems with their desert land, but have advantages in maritime area.

 The Voice of Children & Youth for Rio+20

§1 We, the delegates to the 2011 Tunza International Children and Youth Conference representing 126 different countries, are united in calling upon world leaders to move to a sustainable development pathway that safeguards the Earth and its people for our generation and generations to come. We urge governments to respond to and not ignore the demands of the children and youth.

Section 1: Rio+20 and the Promises to Our Generation

§2 Next year, our leaders will meet in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to critically assess and accelerate our progress towards sustainable development. The “Rio+20” gathering will mark a generation since the 1992 Earth Summit – the first [effective] global recognition of the environmental, social and economic costs of unrestrained development.

§3 While we were not at the Earth Summit in 1992, we know that it was transformative. As the result, sustainable development has become a critical component in the protection of the environment and the eradication of poverty. We have met the youth and children who stood there and called to the moral consciences of our leaders and citizens to act.

 

Official UNEP Tunza Conference 2011 Theme Song – City of Glass

CITY OF GLASS by: Gary Oenawihardja

Tunza Indonesia..going road to Rio+20

VERSE:

And I said to myself

This is such a beautiful world

Since the day that I was born and until now

But lately, as we know

Human never stop sprouting pollution

If this keeps going on then word “beautiful” will be history

REFF:

Now the world turns into city of glass

When everything got worse and getting more worse

Are we doing nothing?

That’s the question of the day

Get out from the spell and break the glass

Don’t wait for the others, be the first to start

Breathe the world a new life

For the next generation

Heyy..ya..heyy…yo (4x)

BRIDGE(ending):

Leave a green life and save energy

Protect our forests

“reduce, reuse, and recycle”

Tell your neighbours and friends

Let’s all be the hero of our future..

Do’a Anak Sang Koruptor – Cerpen oleh Dino Fitriza

Beragam bunga ditebar diatas tanah yang masih basah itu. Wanginya masih tersisa. Segala doa, puja-puji dan tangisan masih terdengar. Beberapa orang masih berada di sana. Mereka menunggu semua orang yang mengantarkan dan menebar bunga pulang.

Tak lama setelah ibu-ibu terakhir meninggalkan tempat itu. Mereka segera berebut mengambil bunga-bunga itu. Saling dorong, saling sikut, untuk mengambil melati paling cantik di atas makam itu. “Bunga ini membawa berkah”, kata seorang Bapak.  “Untuk melancarkan karir”, kata yang lain. “Ga tau buat apa? Ikut-ikutan aja biar rame”, kata anak muda yang satu lagi.

Seluruh orang menangis. Menyayangkan kepergian Pak Karya yang begitu cepat dan mendadak. Banyak pemuda yang masih ingin belajar cara kepemimpinan beliau, caranya menangani krisis yang paling kritis sekalipun dan segala kisah sukses lainnya tentangnya. Seluruh negeri menangisi kepergian Pak Karya, mantan pemimpin besar mereka. Hari berkabung dimulai.
