22 di Tanggal 22

Semakin hari semakin bertambah usia. Yupp, itulah yang gue rasakan saat ini! Tak terasa waktu sudah berjalan dengan cepat dan sekarang sudah memasuki usia yang bisa dibilang cukup dewasa. Tahun ini, khususnya di bulan September ini gue sudah memasuki usia 22 tahun. Sudah cukup tua bukan? Hahaha, just joking people... Di usia yang ke 22 tahun ini, well yang cukup patut disyukuri adalah masih bisa diberi kesempatan untuk bisa menjalani kehidupan dengan baik, masih bisa diberi kesempatan untuk bersama - sama dengan keluarga, dan yang paling harus disyukuri adalah studi S1 gue bisa dibilang sudah selesai! Thank God I can make it! Nahh, di hari saat gue ultah kemarin di tanggal 22 September, ada hal yang cukup menarik lhoo.. Yang cukup menarik dan juga bisa dibilang kado spesial di ultah ke 22 kemarin adalah Hardcover Skripsi gue telah selesai dan siap untuk dikumpulkan. Well, untuk bisa menjilid lalu membuat Hardcover untuk skripsi itu gampang kokk, tapi yang susah adalah ketika ada revisian yang bisa membuat kepala bercabang sampai pusing brosis!

Yupp, pusing dan juga cukup merepotkan! Itulah yang gue rasakan disaat membuat revisian skripsi gue untuk bisa menjadi Hardcover dan setelah itu dikumpulkan ke kampus. Mulai dari salah halaman, peng- editan daftar isi, sampai revisi cover, semuanya menjadi satu dan itu adalah aktivitas gue untuk bebrapa hari yang lalu sebelum hari ultah. ‘Huhh, lelahnya,’ terlintas dalam pikiran yang sudah lelah dengan revisian tersebut. Gue kira dulu mudah untuk mensubmit skripsi yang telah di Hardcover tapi ternyata merepotkan juga tohh.. ‘Oke, tak apa’ sambil mempertegas hati dan juga bersabar menyelesaikan nya, gue selesaikan dengan lebih teliti. Beberapa hari berlalu, dan done! Selesai! Revisian yang gue buat telah selesai dan masuk dalam proses pengecekan dari pihak perpsutakaan dan juga pihak layanan mahasiswa. Sambil menunggu proses pengecekan, gue cukup was - was mengingat kalau masih ada yang salah, then I have to working on it again to revise the mistake lho.. Setelah beberapa waktu, selesai sudah proses pengecekan dan Thank God, I’m good to go! Maksudnya adalah sudah siap untuk proses Hardcover. Sambil menghela nafas, gue berkata dalam hati ‘selesai juga’. Tentu itu merupakan hal yang melegakkan karena ibarat naik 1 tangga lagi untuk mencapai tujuan. Oke, next step adalah membuat Hardcover. Berjalan menuruni tangga sambil menikmati suasana sore kampus, wahh kadang terlintas dalam pikiran gue kalau gue sudah selesai kuliah dan masih kurang menyangka aja a.k.a ‘kaget’. Yupp, kadang gue masih merasa kalau waktu kuliah gue cukup cepat juga yaa.... ‘Hmm, maybe because I really enjoy it and also I’m very comfort to spend time together with my friends in here’, terlintas di benak pikiran. Sambil terlintas di pikiran tentang pertanyaan dan pernyataan itu tadi, sampailah gue di tempat fotocopy kampus untuk men- Hardcover skripsi yang telah dibuat dengan penuh perjuangan ini. Perjuangan nya sii boleh diibaratkan seperti para pejuang yang merebut Kemerdekaan Indonesia (woah!). Tidak perlu kaget karena itulah perasaan kami para mahasiswa/i saat mengerjakan tugas akhir or skripsi tersebut. Oke, dengan membayar sekitar Rp 50.000,00- gue bisa membuat Harcover skripsi gue dengan estimasi waktu 2 hari. Done! Selesai! Tinggal menunggu selesai lalu dikumpulkan.

Singkat cerita, tibalah harinya gue mengambil Hardcover skripsi gue. Dan tepatnya, itu adalah tanggal 22 September dimana gue ultah! Wow, what a great day! Sudah ultah, selesai Hardcover juga. Ibarat seperti UBM memberikan kado disaat gue ultah tahun ini! It’s gonna be a best gift for me this year! Tanpa menunggu waktu  yang lama, gue berangkat ke kampus lalu mengambil Hardcover yang sudah jadi untuk diserahkan ke pihak layanan mahasiswa. Beberapa saat mengantri and then, it’s my turn. ‘Pagi, ada yang bisa dibantu?’, sapa penjaga layanan mahasiswa. ‘Pagi, saya mau mengumpulkan Hardcover skripsi,’ saut gue. Setelah itu, gue serahkan Hardcover skripsi gue yang telah jadi dan mulai diceklah skripsi tersebut oleh sang penjaga layanan mahasiswa. Selang beberapa menit, selesai sudah proses pengecekan. Everything is fine and I can submit it! Wohooo, senangnya bukan main! ‘UBM really gives a great gift for my birthday this year,’ saut gue di dalam hati. Gak menyangka kalau gue bisa menyelesaikan studi S1 gue disaat gue ulang tahun. It’s very fantastic! Well, begitulah cerita singkat ultah gue yang 22 kemarin di tanggal 22 September yang menurut gue terdapat sebuah cerita yang cukup menarik. Gue berharap dan berdoa supaya bisa bertemu di ultah gue yang selanjutnya di tanggal 22 September tahun depan bersama dengan keluarga tercinta dan kesempatan kehidupan yang indah ini yang Tuhan berikan untuk gue. That’s all about my birthday story, how about you? 

Community is Not About 'Community'

Nowadays, there are so many communities that we can found in a big city like Jakarta for example. Commmunities that with a same interest things such are food, blogger, toys, sports, automotives, or even games, can you easily found in here. For me, I bet that it is easy to you to find a community which is having the same interest for you. Anyway, talking about a community in Jakarta which are so many communities ih here, I have a short story about this one. In this article, I will focused on the community which I already joined. Well, its new for me in this community since I change my mind to find another community. So, what community that I joined up? Now, I join with a new motorcycle community which is based on the Central Jakarta area. In this article, I didn’t want to focus on the community itself (maybe later I will tell more about my community).  In here, I just want to focused about what is the benefit that you can get when you involving and active in a community that you like. Curious about those things? Let’s discuss it one by one.

Okay, first of all I want to tell you that I joined up in one of a automotive community which is focused on a motorcycle. And yes, the name of that community is Motorcycle Owners Community Indonesia or MOCI for short. Anyway one thing you should know that there is nothing related with a cake which is named moci (a traditional cake in Indonesia). I joined in this community when the founder itself, Sonny, contact me to joined up. Since I think it sounds interesting to join his community, well without any things to think then I joined up with this community. In short, I am a person that love to join the automotive community. I love it because automotive is an one of a things that I like since when I was a kid. You can imagine how many toys which are cars and motorcycles that I had at my home.. Ooh so many, until my parents confuse about so many toys in my home.. Because now I am already in a legal age, so I can go easily to implement my hobby  and of course in a positive activities. One of that is by joining the automotive communities. So, based on my thought, I have 2 things which are the benefit to you by joining in one community. What are the benefits?

First, about link. Of course when you join in a community, absolutely you will get a new friends. Friends that can share and discuss about the same interest with you. Getting a new friend is very important to bigger your link and connections. This link, maybe one day you will need them to share about job that you need or vice versa. When you get a new friends, of course your social link will also bigger and grow. Furthermore, you can also get more information about your hobby deeper when you discuss with your friend on your community. Is it interesting right? To share things that you love with your friends. I bet you will have a longer time to discuss one thing with them. The bigger link is more better for yourself.

Second is about your hobby. Just like told about on the second paragraph. It’s about hobby and passion bro! When you like to do somethings or collecting things that you like, it can brings you to your passion. By joining in a community, you do your hobby and passion in a single time. Do the things that you like is so fun! For me as an example, since I love motorcycle from when I was a kid and then joining a community, now I can implement my hobby deeper. Now I can know several things which are bikers do like hand signals, ethics code as a biker, and also live in an organization which is a thing that you can’t get in a formal study. I even don’t know about those things before I joined an automotive communnity. What I know before I joined it, is just automotive, brand, and speed, that’s it... But after I joining it, it can enrich the knowledge about my hobby. The more you know about your hobby, you will love it as a part of your life.

Okay, that’s all about my thoughts about a community. I bet that any other peoples will have another ideas and thought, but let me share about my ideas above. One thing you should know that when you interesting to join a community, join the positive one! In a society, there are also a negative communities which is very identical with a criminal world and you have to avoid it. Join the positive one, and you will feel that your passion become as part of your life. Joining a community is not about just join it, but it can makes your life more colourful with the thing that you like. Are you interest to start your journey with your hobby by join in a community?
