"All religion doesn't make sense for me. The thing is, you're my brother (pointing Aryo), you're my brother (pointing taxi driver), he's my brother (pointing Tucker), you're, of course, my brother (pointing me). I don't see any urgency to hate anyone, or force anyone to do what we do. Why we can't have a life like this?"
Tim, Californian guy, after all our religion talks on the way back town.

Me and my kiddy issue
Maybe it's because my childhood memories filled with a constant happiness. Or childhood has became the best several years in my life ever. I never really move on. I love everything related to kids. I love wandering around in toys r us, kids station, or toys kingdom. I love cartoon network more than fox or e!. I love being around dozens kids and listening them laughing for unnecessary things, mumbling their imagination or their ordinary daily routine. My heart could automatically warm seeing that tiny little dress, or tiny little shoes.
I never realized that I have never really move on before. Until my volunteer work, which I've been enjoy participating this past six months, have a strong connection with children. Until my own thesis-which as a political science student we usually bring a serious matter-is related to children. Too bad. I never really move on.
This I write after a long surfs for my reading course, the first path to get my thesis done. Though I haven't decided the exact country yet, but the theme that I chose has stealing my attention ever since. In third world country, including ours, this isn't a primary issue, not even a political matters yet. But we should think forward, shouldn't we? I mean, we (third world creepy countries) gotta do some great leaps to rise.
I'm interested in a child care policy. To learn from the best, yes it's in a Scandinavian countries. Child care is a super humble and modest concept. To narrow it down, I specifically want to explore about day care. Remember in Toys Story 3 when the toys are mistakenly delivered to a day care center? Yes, that's what I mean, a day care day care. Place where the kids are stay when their parents work. At the noon, their parents pick them up to the home.
What so special about that? Parenthood, people, is somehow intervened by state. That haven't been occurred yet here in our country. We know better that woman, who accused as a citizen of the carer, seemingly have no choice in raising their child or being a wage earner. With this concept, state simply facilitate woman to enter the workforce by providing a child care. So they could become a part of it without ignoring the needs of their children. In addition, with the provision and subsidiary from the state, quality of child care has been proven bring a good result for the children. Norway, with its child care policy, has became a country with the best quality of children well being hand in hand with its equality among man and woman employment. 'Child Care Is A Right' has been internalized in citizen's mind as well.
Historically speaking, far beyond the idea of equality of man and woman in labor force, to arrive in this situation it takes a long and harsh debate among the feminist scholars to break a paradigm in this patriarchal society. Scandinavian countries has conquered it first among all the countries, that way, engendering politics become one of their strongest political image. Engendering is such a verb, means taking into consideration the gender matter, in the name of avoid discrimination, in every policy or procedure that government takes.
Yeah.
That will be my thesis' theme which I will explore deeper and deeper in the next one year. I love it when I typed 'national child care policy' in youtube then appeared faces of cute kids and lovely day care along with political debates.
Wish me luck, please?

Fitness
April's almost over and no single post has been written here. Pardon my lazy fingers.
This I wrote a quick post (just because I bought a new modem) about what happened lately in my mediocre world. None of them are quite interesting except my brand new hobby.
I enrolled myself in a fitness center. Interesting, isn't it?
You know I'm not the type of sporty girl, I got average score for sports subject in school. I definitely out of breath while I run. The reason that made me decided to pay couple hundreds of thousands rupiahs a month, is quite pathetic though. To distract me in being lonely. What a lame, huh.
Yes I gotta admit that this semester I have so much spare time (but not for this week, ironically writing). I have no class in Monday and Wednesday. I got no organization responsibility (just several temporary committees). I have an independent relationship (not co-dependent (like others) fortunately).
And a fat belly.
So there I am.
Thirty minutes of treadmill is mandatory, followed with twenty minutes of cycling or another cardio workout. About 200kcal will be burnt that way. You know I'm a big fan of daydreaming, I love it when my mind going anywhere while my body also doing its best job. My abdominal muscles and its friends (I can't even mention another name because I forgot) exercises happily by many equipments, I like to try many cool tools I've never know it was existed. Besides my suka-suka-gue workout, I tried many kind of classes. Like yoga, pilates, low impact, zumba, and spinning. Frankly, these are fun and make me feel better about my own body.
My trainer (who once measured my fat percentage (which I can't decide whether he is gay or not)) is welcoming cordially a new comer like me. Though new comer can be so stupid sometimes (like using many tools wrongly), he looks okay. I'm addicted to placed myself there.
Oh, and my (most) favorite part is its hot water shower. And I still could workout whether I'm in Depok, or Bandung (nah I'm tired of that two separated world dramas).
I never know if selfishness could be felt this nice.
