Fly (insect)

Being well-designed from the beginning...
You are THE MOST!

On another blog, I shared my reflection on a separated fly. Such disgusting insects usually stay in dirty and vile places. Some days ago, I got a picture of another fly, which perched on a leaf in my veranda. Still inspired by the reflection, I write an insight as shown on the picture.

Flies may be insignificant creatures as they are supposed to be animal that brings many of epidemics. A question may occur in our mind, “Why do they exist? Why does God create such of dangerous animals? Etc…” We may ask this question for being the most superior amongst all creatures.

Instead of being more arrogant, why do not we think of our responsibility as human? Being human must be more responsible, mustn’t we? If flies have been well design by the nature from the beginning, moreover we human are! It is our responsibility to be thankful more significantly! [skd]

Another two of "Fly" (size:1024*768):

If there is no wind, row!

"If there is no wind, row!"
~ Proverb

This quote inspired me to make a new category in this blog: motivational. Then I searched for suitable picture as an illustration. There are many wonderful pics on Flickr.com. I chose one from the photostream of Petervanallen (thanks Peter!). The original picture has title "row row row your boat". Originally, its size is 836*836. I have it resized to 1024*768 and cropped to match with the new size.

I think you could get the insight of the quote. It's about optimism to deal with many problems in our lives. We have to keep struggling. The given spirit drives movements from inside. We have to believe that our dreams will come true if we do something and give up not! [skd]

I love Jogja!

Wonderful memories of the great culture in it's solemnity bears the loving spirit forever..."

That's what I can say about Jogja, my beloved hometown. In there I was born and enjoyed my childhood very much. Being educated as a Javanese boy I feel the love to the traditions and the heritages of my country. I feel the aura of spirituality and religiousity. There's a kind power to live the spirit. Living apart from my motherland has risen all wonderful memories of the city and the richness. The miss of it has driven me to live it.

Javanese culture which takes orientation to the royal traditions and culture has become the spirit of all Javanese all over the world. Jogja and Surakarta are the most centrums of their traditions and culture, and they bring the spirit wherever they are.

Above is the picture of Tugu (a memorial building stone) of Jogja. That's an icon of the city. Actually it's one amongst another three in the constellations of royal and sacred sites of Jogja: Mount Merapi - Tugu - Sultan Palace - and Indian Ocean. There's a virtually straight line connecting the sites. Mount Merapi is in the North while Indian Ocean in the South. When you come to Jogjakarta - Indonesia, you'll see the Tugu which place is near the Tugu Train Station. So, welcome to Jogja, "The never ending Asia"! [skd]
