Hello all. How are you? It’s everything doing okay? Hmm.. Don’t bother to ask about my exams, what is done is done, I already do my best so now I can only pray. ((:

And…. This time I’ll share a bit of things I have learned by now. This is a simple one, it’s about email writing.

They are Tatsuya-san, Nozomi-chan, Yukke-chan, Yumiko-sensei and also Kubo-san !!yey~ Thank you so much for what you have done for me, so I can now write nice email. :))

Subject : List for room’s price and type

Sakura Hotel

I’m an employee of a mechanical company from Indonesia.

I’ll go for a business trip to Osaka, Japan next month.

I saw the Sakura Hotel’s ad on the newspaper.

The ad makes me interested in staying at the Hotel for a week.

Can you send me the list of room’s type and price?

If you don’t mind please send the list to my email address.

Yoroshiku Onegaiitashimasu.
I am waiting for your response.

(it’s kind of complicated to explain the exact meaning of the word ‘Yoroshiku Onegaiitashimasu’. But for this context we may translate it to ‘I am waiting for your response’)

Simple but a very useful things I have learned from my Japanese acquaintances. I hope what I gave this time will also be useful for all of you, readers :))

Yosakoi Festival Surabaya

Hello everyone !! How’s life? Mine pretty went well, so I hope yours too :))

Now, I want to tell you about my most favorite hobby other than reading, which is *DANCING* I loved dance since I was little. Not just traditional ones but also modern dance. Therefore, I often participated in modern dance competitions. I don’t want to brag but I’ve earned a lot of trophies. Not only doing the dance but I can also create my own dance moves. As for the Bali dance, I’ve been got into a lot of competitions and also performing at many art festivals. Until now my interest for dance is still as great as it were when I was little. Yey !

---

I got myself interested to the Japanese dance just as I began studied Japanese literature. I joined the Japanese dance community in Yogyakarta, named D’Joh (D’ Japan Odori Holic). Djoh consist of people who want to learn Japanese dance. Not only the students of Japanese literature but also people from another profession. J I enjoy it so much being a member of Djoh. The instructor herself is a Japanese. Her name is Shiki. She trains as good as she dance. In the process the things I’ve earned other than dancing skill are knowledge around Japanese language and culture. And I won’t forget about the bond that has been formed until now.

 Yosakoi is one of the dance we have been taught by Mbak Shiki. Yosakoi (よさこい) is a unique style of dance that originated in Japan. Yosakoi started in the city of Kochi in 1954. I’ve been participated in Yosakoi Festival Surabaya for two times at 2011 & 2012 !! For the both we won by the favorite competitor category. Yey Yey. It was so amazing. We are now aiming for the first place in the next competition. Ganbatte !!

For those who are interested in joining with us, you may come to Taman Budaya Yogyakarta at 5 pm every Monday and Friday. It’s our pleasure to have you onboard. Let’s dance together :)) 

The Birth of Culture

Hello people! How’s your week? I’m really sorry for not blogging for so long, it’s been an exams month, so it’s kinda crazy month for me. But now I’m officially back and ready to tell about everything. :))

Crazy schedules is crazy! I’ve been busy the whole week, there’s some project which need my full attention. Oh how I miss holiday! No no no…  “love letters from lecturers has arrived” hahaha. I have read many books about the culture. One of the most inspiring book is a “Culture; Studi Kebudayaan” by Chris Jenks. Cool right!! I love that book so much and I know for sure you guys gonna love it too! Right??

Dear, people who are interested in culture. Now I’m going to write my opinion about the birth of culture. Not an article or paper. Just a simple inscription. :D

The Birth of Culture

Men and culture has a close relationship and cannot be separated. Culture is the product of men minds and culture of men that run it. Culture is the whole system of ideas, actions, and the work of humans in the context of a society that men have with learning.

Community as a place and culture as the content are two components attached to each other. Every society has a culture and every culture must be owned by the community. Culture is born from the people with learning. Men who have a new language can be said that civilized men. Men environment reflects and affects a culture. Beside environment, language is one universal element of culture. With language, men can deliver culture to the next generation. So that people can preserve a culture.

In relation to the environment, men life is an organism (living organism). The establishment of a private person affected by the environment even in the extreme can be said, every person comes from an environment, both vertical (genetics, tradition) and horizontal environment (geographic, physical, social).

Men and culture is one bond that cannot be separated in this life. Men as God's most perfect creatures create their own culture and preserve it. Environment is a place where men run their culture and it also gives characteristics to the culture of  a community.

Men are living organisms who cannot be separated from an environment affect. Therefore men must adapt with their environment. It is also environment which affects the way of men thinking so that it makes they can behave in the adaptation process. From that process, a culture is created.

          The nation of Indonesia, Malaysia, America, Europe, and the other nations have one culture (it means, culture is universal). But every culture has special characteristics correspond with each of culture background. For example although all nations need clothes, house, and food, but the shapes are different.

What do you think ? 

Ok right it's midnight already and like it or not I should go back to my homework, Kajian Bahasa Jepang. Ulalalaaa so busy busy boring boring night. But, I'll survive. Wish me luck, pray for me if you kind enough :) See you on next post. じゃ、また。

The Swordless Samurai

Good Night
こんばんは。

How was your March in 2013? It was good, right?

Yea, looking forward to spend a lovely April. :))

In my life, I just try to give my best in doing what I do, pour my heart and soul into my work, and keep learning to be better. But when crappy day (bad things or bad news) keep coming to say Hi and I just want to go home, skip the day, run from every problem, run from EVERYTHING. Yea, I am having that kind of day today. Just require extra patience to figure out the solution to the problem. I just need to be patient as I try getting myself out of the problems. I am not alone, I am not the most unlucky person in the world. Everything will be okay! Right?

Although today is the unpleasant, I spent this night to read a great book titled “The Swordless Samurai”. It was written by Kitami Masao and edited by Tim Clark. This is the second time I read this book. This book tells about leadership advices taken from Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi was a peasant who becomes the supreme leader of Japan in 16 century. I recommend to read the Indonesian version of this book, because the book sounds like kids diary, easy to understand.  :))　

今日は私の心がちょっと悪くなりました。でも、今晩私はいい本を読みました。この本は　"The　Swordless Samurai".この本の中でToyotomi Hideyoshi について話しました。子供の日記ように、素晴らしくて読む安い本です。：））

It is not about the content of the book, but even more about who was Hideyoshi. He was a preeminent daimyo (大名) of Azuchi-Momoyama Period. Azuchi-Momoyama witnessed Japan’s unification after a century of civil war. The country was reunited by three hegemons, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The period is named after the sites of two castles, Nobunaga’s palatial fortress at Azuchi and Hideyoshi’s head-quarters at Momoyama in Fushimi. 

安土地桃山時代に、日本は1世紀に及ぶ内乱を終結させて統一を果たして。日本の再統一をもたらしたのは、3人の者、Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.この時代の名称は、２つの城の所在地、すなわちNobunaga壮麗な居城のあった安土と、Hideyoshiの本営のあった伏見の桃山に由来する。（日本史、８４）

Toyotomi Hideyoshi? 

The warloard Hideyoshi is said to have been small in stature, wearing oversized clothes and false mustache in order to look more impressive, and one of the most remarkable men in Japanese history :))

 Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-98) : google.com

“I spent more than decade in Japan, and The Swordless Samurai is valuable reading for anyone doing business there or looking for a deeper understanding of timeless leadership principles” – Ken Belson, New York Times

Yea, There is so much to learn in this life and so much to experience, that's what makes it so interesting. Be curious, explore, learn and share. Have a nice April, readers :))
