<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(still 29 June 2008)</p>
<p>I still walked for another hour, I think, the thoughts were quite blurry when I walked out of the park (Maruyama-koen), and found traditional houses, ochaya (tea houses), and several little shops. Unlike Tokyo where houses and building were all westernized/modernized, this neigborhood of Higashiyama still maintained its roots.<br />
Here and there I found statue of <em>tanuki</em> in front of houses (I wonder what message would this creature bring to welcome the guests?)</p>
[caption id="attachment_104" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Another temple in the rain"]<a href="http://mybackpackandme.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2355maruyamakoen.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-104" src="http://mybackpackandme.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2355maruyamakoen.jpg?w=300" alt="Another temple in the rain" width="300" height="225" /></a>[/caption]
<p>I walked again in the hilly areas with narrow roads, almost no cars, and less people on sidewalks. As I did several times, I asked again with one lady who seemed to be friendly, which way I should go if I wanted to go to Heian-jingu (already started to think, did it really worth to go to Heian-jingu? with wet clothes and backpacks and souvenirs that began to weigh like 100 kilograms?)</p>
<p>They kept telling me to look for the big torii (shrine), which I would obviously see right away (and how did I get the power to translate that far? This time I do think God works in mysterious ways). But still no red torii for me to see.</p>
[caption id="attachment_106" align="alignright" width="162" caption="there it was!!"]<a href="http://mybackpackandme.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2358heianjingu.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-106 " src="http://mybackpackandme.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2358heianjingu.jpg?w=231" alt="" width="162" height="210" /></a>[/caption]
<p>I got out of the hilly traditional neighborhood and appeared on the urban and more modern neighborhood, with traffic lights on road intersections and all. And there in the faraway I saw a tiny (but huge, in real) red torii. Oh yay!!</p>
<p>So I walked towards the torii. Along the way, some more shops stalled my way. The one that I stopped quite for some time carried a classy collections of sport shoes decorated with sakura patterns. Some tshirts with original designs, canvas bags, printed with the head of a girl with flowers from 3D kimono scraps, and so many cute dolls, hair berrets in floral patterns, and many many souvenirs. I tought I'm gonna buy the whole store! (again, couldn't get a hold of myself... he he)</p>
<p>The girl that attended the store was really cheerful and friendly. When I forgot my umbrella in the store (which forced me to go back, when it suddenly pouring again when I almost reached the torii), then I asked her if she would want to keep my heavy backpack and souvenir there while I went to Heian-jingu and the museum of modern art (conveniently on the way). She agreed, and would keep all my things in the staff room, asking me how long I'd be. I said one hour (-ish).</p>
<p>I wonder why I was so trusting with her, but the way she attended me and the other customers of the shop somehow told me she was a good person (and in Japan, people don't steal, well at least AFAIK). So I let her keep my backpack containing my brand new USD 2,000 laptop and others. Whatever.. the backpack almost caused me permanent neck pain.</p>

<p>I walked, a lot lighter with only my sling bag containing camera, wallet, passport and a bottle of water. I took the time of having lunch while waiting for the rain to quiet down before, when I forgot to bring my umbrella in the store. And now I am happily skipping to the National Museum of Modern Art.</p>

<p>Could be my lucky day (still think that after the rainy walks in Maruyama-koen :P) , there was a Renoir special exhibition with collection from Le Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France. Wuoh... I went to the ticket booth and bought both regular collection and the special exhibition. </p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Pierre-Auguste Renoir</strong> (February 25, 1841–December 3, 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau".</p>
<p>From Wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renoir" target="_blank">Renoir</a></p></blockquote>
<p>There were quite a line to this exhibition. I guess rain don't stop the art spectators of Kyoto from attending this special exhibition. I don't know that much about Renoir, only that he is an impressionist artist, in the same era as Monet. But I recognize some of the works, from walking through the halls where the paintings were hanging. </p>
<p>The exhibition was in 4th floor, and we directed to the elevator. In the entrance of the exhibition hall, they provide audio cassette with narration of the artworks displayed. Too bad no English. Moreover, then I am stuck with French titles and kanji translation, so might as well just enjoy it :)</p>
<p>The Japanese people were very orderly. I never see anyone cut any line since the first time I'm arrived. And now, in the packed hall of museum, noone produced any noises, and no pushing or cutting into each other's line like we often experience in one particular country in south-east Asia (that I dearly miss right now).</p>
<blockquote><p>The exhibition includes several famous works :</p>
<p><a class="image" title="The Swing (La Balançoire), 1876, oil on canvas, Musée d'Orsay, Paris" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Auguste_Renoir_-_La_Balan%C3%A7oire.jpg"><img class="thumbimage" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Auguste_Renoir_-_La_Balan%C3%A7oire.jpg/250px-Auguste_Renoir_-_La_Balan%C3%A7oire.jpg" border="0" alt="The Swing (La Balançoire), 1876, oil on canvas, Musée d'Orsay, Paris" width="250" height="321" /></a><a class="image" title="Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette (Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette), 1876, Pierre-Auguste Renoir" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Renoir21.jpg"><img class="thumbimage" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Renoir21.jpg/250px-Renoir21.jpg" border="0" alt="Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette (Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette), 1876, Pierre-Auguste Renoir" width="250" height="184" /></a></p>

<p>After finishing Renoir, and caught in a moment without canceling the thought of buying a Renoir book in Japanese, I took the stairs to the second floor of the regular collection. Seeing one Picasso (forgot the title), and some of the famous works, Japanese artist's work like the room-separation painted in a pool of koi fish (sorry no photography permitted).</p>
<p>There were also some 3D works like pottery and really awesome kimono (an emperor's ? he he). Somehow I felt uneasy of leaving my backpack with a stranger, then I cut the visit short, and head to the first floor where they have all the souvenirs of the museum. Bought several postcards of Renoir as a memento that I was here, and some mini-clear folders to keep the bills and receipts tidy.</p>
<p>Then I go on towards Heian Jingu, the destination that so hard to reach (seems like). I'll give you some pictures of the Shinto temple :</p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another walk towards the red Torii and then went to the shop. My bag was safely sound, and the girl greeted me, making me felt slightly guilty for having bad thoughts about her. I asked her for the last time (since it's difficult to find a person who can speak english), how to catch a bus to Kyoto-eki. And she told me, it was just right across the street. </p>
<p>I waited for a while, not long the bus came (no getting lost this time - I'm too tired anyway), and then got there (I don't know how I managed with the already full backpack - some of the souvenirs I moved there to avoid the rain) and still one plastic bag of another group of souvenirs.</p>
<p>After reaching Kyoto station, I had to take the subway to the station nearby the hotel, which is Marutamachi-bashi. Now, the challenge is how to get to the right subway platform. In the basement there was a department store, and everywhere I turned there were only shops, and no signs to subway. Hopeless, and the backpack is killing my neck once again, asking around, finally I got to the subway. Phew...</p>
<p>My friend already text-messaged me since I was still at Heian-jingu, so that meant that I was expected. I got into the subway, got off at Marutamachi-bashi, but wrong exit. (hehe, not remembering the experience of Takebashi.... duhhh) and then ask a really old lady where is the Gosho (imperial palace),  because I just know the hotel is right across the imperial palace park. She pointed out the place. </p>
<p>I got a bit disoriented, and then found the <em>kaban</em> that I went to first thing in the morning before getting to the bus stop. Ah there must be the hotel. </p>
<p>Finally I arrived at the hotel, dashed to the toilet to freshen up (if there is any difference that can be made, my clothes was dry, rained on, and dry again), claimed my luggage, and dragged the luggage to front porch of the hotel.</p>
<p>There I finished one carton of Glico strawberry milk (starving), and one onigiri. Then rearrange the souvenirs into my backpack and one travelling back and one huge plastic bag. Then I wonder still now, how I managed with all these stuff to Marutomachi-bashi subway station and then back to Kyoto-eki. </p>
<p>I had a plan. I will drop the things at Kyoto-eki, in coin locker, and then I will go to Nara only with necessary stuff. Seemed that what I left behind at Tokyo still not enough, or I guess it was just my shopping mood that resulted into many additional baggage. But finally I got a coin locker, put 400 yen there and put most of my things there in one huge plastic bag.</p>
<p>Ah. Life is suddenly good again. Well, prolly not just yet! Gotta catch the train to Takanohara (station in Nara where my friend will pick me up). Uh oh. Gotta run.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pagi-pagi udah ada berita yang cukup bikin panik. Aku dipindahkan.... pindah ke lantai satu.... heheh....<br />
Secara sekilas, lantai satu ini lumayan tenang. Meskipun, pada dasarnya para penghuni disini adalah manusia-manusia berisik...<br />
Posisi sekarang pada arah jam 9 ada Jaenal, arah jam 11 ada Yanes, arah jam 12 ada Robby, arah jam 3 ada whiteboard :( .<br />
Tempat disini lebih lega, jelas lebih lega dari tempat aku sebelumnya yang aslinya sebuah ruang rapat dengan meja besar ditengahnya yang dipake bersama 7 orang (that's why i loves cubicle). Tapi, ruang disini adem banget.... ac meraung-raung dan berhembus meniup tengkuk dengan cukup kuat... T_T.... need more jacket....<br />
Despite of those things, I hope i will enjoy this place...</p>

<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Dalam diam ada gerak dan dalam gerak ada diam&#8221;
Kalimat diatas pertama kali aku denger w]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">"Dalam diam ada gerak dan dalam gerak ada diam"</span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Kalimat diatas pertama kali aku denger waktu aku masih SMA dan terlibat aktif di Teater Q-SA Smusa Jember. Tempat dimana aku pernah hidup dan membuka kehidupan. Tempat dimana aku belajar dan menjadi pelajaran. Tempat dimana aku pernah menciptakan senyum tawa dan pedih tangis.</p>
<p><!--more [lebih jauh mengenai diam dan gerak]--></p>
<p>Diam buatku adalah sebuah kondisi abstrak yang membuat beberapa kejadian yang terjadi dengan cepat , tampak berjalan begitu lambat. Pun juga sebuah kondisi dimana bukan lagi otot dan fisik yang membuat kita hidup, melainkan gejolak jiwa dan kekuatan pikiran yang bergerak keluar dari kerangkeng rutinitas dan realitas. Dan jawaban dari semua itu adalah "KESEIMBANGAN"</p>
<p>Dalam sebuah hiruk pikuk aktifitas yang kita jalani, ada kalanya kita lupa untuk diam, memberi jeda dan kesempatan kepada jiwa kita untuk terbebas dari belenggunya, memberi ruang pada nurani dan akal untuk berbicara. Kita terlalu sibuk memenuhi dahaga fisik, menjalani waktu demi waktu hanya untuk sebuah rutinitas. Dimana, tanpa kita sadar, kita lupa untuk memberikan waktu kepada diri kita untuk berpikir, untuk merenung, untuk berkaca. Pernahkah anda melakukan sesuatu dan sejenak berpikir "kenapa" anda melakukan hal itu? Pernahkah anda berbuat sesuatu dan sejenak berpikir "apakah" hal tersebut adalah yang terbaik untuk anda dan untuk orang-orang disekitar anda. Pernahkah anda merasa "bersalah" atas sesuatu yang baru saja anda lakukan? Pada saat itulah diperlukan diam didalam gerak. Ada diam didalam gerak.<br />
 <br />
Jika kita sudah sadar betapa pentingnya untuk diam, kita bisa ciptakan momen itu. Momen diam.... sperti meditasi, retret, refleksi, day dreaming, whatever!!.....Disaat kita diam itu, kita membiarkan alam pikiran kita untuk berkelana liar, menjelajah barbagai macam pilihan jawaban dan menentukan pilihan yang terbaik. Disaat kita diam itu, kita juga bisa membiarkan jiwa kita untuk berkelana didalam alam yang diinginkannya dan memberikan kepuasan dan rasa bebas dari rutinitas yang sering membelenggunya. Didalam diam itu..... ada gerak.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hari ini kerasa cape banget setelah kemarin ke Jawa, traveling Surabaya- Sidoarjo - Malang - Surabaya.... Do'oh.....<br />
Yang patut disyukuri, banyak pelajaran berharga dari perjalanan kemarin.....</p>
<p><!--more [daftar hikmah perjalanan (halah)]--></p>
<ol>
<li>Hindari perjalanan darat dari Bali ke Jawa atau sebaliknya pada masa-masa liburan. Dijamin bakal terlantar di Pelabuhan Penyeberangan Ketapang Gilimanuk. Karena menurut catatan , berangkat dari Denpasar jam 19.00 nyampe Gilimanuk jam 10 malem, bisa-bisa baru naek Feri hampir jam 4 Pagi gara2 ngantri!!! What on earth??? Pilih pesawat,deh.... seimbang ma harganya!...</li>
<li>Teliti sebelum membeli jasa taksi di Terminal Purabaya Surabaya!!!.... Biasanya nih, begitu kita turun dari Bis, kita bakalan dikerubutin tukang taksi yang menawarkan untuk membawa kita ke tempat tujuan berikutnya. Secara kemarin itu aku keburu banget, jadi dpertimbangkan untuk memakai jasa mereka.... Yah SIAL PULA!!! dengan harga 50ribu dari Purabaya ke Kampus ITS, aku naek taksi yang ternyata mobilnya super budug, AC ngga nyala, ditambah jalanan macet pula!!!.... Do'oh..... kapok!!! kapok!!!</li>
<li>Selalu siapin pulsa yang cukup untuk menelpon selama perjalanan..... penting, bukan? soalnya bakalan sulit untuk cari voucher pulsa selama perjalanan...</li>
<li>Buat yang merencanakan perjlanan dari Malang ke Surabaya pada hari minggu sore, akan sangat bijak jika waktu ditempuh juga dipertimbangkan. Sebagai catatan, waktu tempuh dari Malang ke Surabaya yang biasanya hanya memakan waktu 2 jam , bisa bengkak jadi 3,5 sampe 4 jam pada Hari minggu sore. Penyebab pertama adalah volume kendaraaan yang melimpah. Minggu sore adalah waktunya arus balik wisata keluar Malang. Penyebab kedua adalah bottle neck dibeberapa tempat selama perjalanan. Bottle neck pertama ada di Pasar Lawang , yang memakan waktu 40 menit macet. Bottle neck kedua ada di Pasar Porong, yang makan waktu 45 menit untuk lewat......</li>
</ol>

Semalam aku tidur jam 1 malam.... buset.... cape banget... aku kudu siapin segala hal buat berangkat ke Surabaya akhir minggu ini.... packing, buat list barang yang kudu dibawa, setrika baju. Do'oh..... dan ada lagi pekerjaan tambahan : nyiapin kamar supaya jadi nyaman untuk ditempati aku, adikku dan temen adikku yang bakalan nginep selama 2 bulan ^_^.<br />
Ditambah lagi mikirin gimana caranya supaya aku bisa beli tiket pulang... secara, sampai hari ini belum datang bulan dan terancam gagal berangkat karena ngga bisa beli tiket (sedikit berbelit... tapi, ngerti maksudnya, khan??)......<br />

<p>Sampai makan siang hari ini, tetep membosankan. Buku yang dari kemarin aku baca juga belum selesai. Do'oh! I really need for job so badly.<br />
Untuk melepas penat, setelah makan siang, aku sempet mampir ke Annex 4 lantai 2. Ketemu ama orang2 itu lagi.... Wkwkwk masih sama aja. Tempatnya aja yang pindah , tapi orang2 tetep pada berisik. ^_^ Something that i missed. Meski dulu rada keganggu kalo mereka berisik banget!... Hehe... kenakalan yang dirindukan. ^_^</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ranaindonesia.com/images/gallery/329_20071022_11423916.jpg" alt="Watu ulo at sunset" /></p>
<p>Kearah selatan kota Jember di gugusan Samudera Indonesia terdapat pantai yang indah panorama alamnya yaitu Pantai Watu Ulo terletak ± 45 Km dari kota Jember. Untuk menuju ke Pantai watu Ulo bisa ditempuh dengan segala macam kendaraan. Disebut Watu Ulo karena di pantai itu ada sebuah batu panjang berbentuk ular (Jw. Ulo) dengan penuh sisik. Menurut cerita rakyat dikatakan bahwa pada jaman dahulu kala ada sebuah ular yang sedang bertapa di pantai itu. Setelah terkabul permohonannya kepada Yang Maha Kuasa maka berwujudlah ia menjadi sebuah batu yang persis seekor ular dengan kepalanya menjulur ke laut, sedang badannya berada di daratan.</p>
<p>Pada jaman pendudukan Jepang, pegunungan di sekitar Pantai Watu Ulo dijadikan benteng pertahanan dan pengintaian bala serdadu musuh yang mau menyusup daratan melalui pantai. Benteng Jepang yang berjumlah lima buah tersebut oleh masyarakat setempat disebut sebagai Goa Jepang dan merupakan salah satu lokasi wisata yang menarik untuk dikunjungi.</p>
<p>Disamping Goa Jepang, di sebelah Watu Ulo ada sebuah Goa Lawa (Goa Kelelawar) yang dihuni ratusan ribu kelelawar. Goa ini bisa dimasuki oleh pengunjung dengan menyusuri dan melewati pantai berpasir. Karena tempatnya yang sunyi dari keramaian, goa ini sering dijadikan tempat bermeditasi bagi orang-orang tertentu, apalagi mengingat goa ini mempunyai kedalaman 100 m.Uniknya untuk mencapai gua ini para wisatawan harus menuruni "Turunan Senggol" sebanyak 66 tangga yang sangat mengasyikan.</p>
<p>Dari kawasan pantai Watu Ulo kearah barat terdapat obyek wisata yang tidak kalah menariknya, yaitu : Tanjung Papuma yang terdiri dari Pantai Pasir Putih dan Malikan. Obyek wisata ini mempunyai kawasan pasir putih yang mempesona dengan panorama yang asri. Dikawasan ini para wisatawan juga dapat menyaksikan kemegahan gugusan Pulau Dewa (Kresnha, Narada dan Batara Guru).</p>
<p>Untuk mencapai kawasan wisata ini, dari pantai Watu Ulo para wisatawan dapat berjalan kaki atau mengendarai kendaraan bermotor. Selain menikmati pemandangan pantai, pada saat cuaca baik, para wisatawan juga dapat bersampan sambil memancing ikan di laut.</p>
<p>Di kawasan Papuma ini masih terdapat kawasan Wana Wisata yang terletak di komplek hutan Londolampesan yang memiliki fasilitas jalan lintas panorama dan pendakian sepanjang 500 meter, bumi perkemahan, Balairung Tanjung Papuma , kios-kios cinderamata dan yang paling nikmat : FRESH SEAFOOOOODDDDD!!!! Yummy!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/mobiljeruk.jpg"></a>Terinspirasi dari percakapan dengan Pak Ojong yang secara tiba-tiba dilontarkan dengan topik yang cukup jarang dilontarkan yaitu : Mainan Djaman Ketjil Doeloe ^_^. Sadar atau ngga, jaman sekarang sudah serba elektrik, serba mesin, serba virtual. Bahkan mainan dan permainan yang dulu pas jaman kita masih kecil kudu dikerjakan secara fisik, kini sudah dikonversi menjadi permainan elektrik (elcetronic games).<br />
Cukup banyak permainan fisik yang dikonversi, mulai kartu remi sampai golf juga ada tuh electronic game-nya...<br />
Do'oh..... jangan heran kalo generasi kita mendatang bakalan jadi generasi yang cuman bisa pencet tombol!..sukur-sukur kalo punya otak, bisa jual otak. Coba bayangin kalo otak ngga punya, otot ngga punya juga!!!.... Hmm.... jadi apa kita nanti??<br />
Masih inget mainan jaman kita kecil dulu ngga??? maenan yang bisa bikin kita ketawa, mainan yang bisa bikin kita berkeringat dan tertawa penuh kemenangan secara sekaligus??? uhm.... coba deh liat daftar dibawah ini.... (kalo mau nambahin, titip comment aja,ya....)</p>

<h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">... BEKEL ...</span></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/bekel.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/bekel.jpg?w=239" alt="" width="239" height="140" /></a>Bekel terbuat dari bahan kuningan berwarna kuning atau dari bahan timbal berwarna putih. Bekel berbentuk segi empat dengan rupa bidang yang berbeda. Bidang pet, bidang dengan cekungan kecil di tengah; bidang roh,berbentuk seperti parit; bidang klat, polos tanpa hiasan dan bidang es, bidang datar berhias dengan 5 buah titik. Jumlah minimal adalah 4 buah.<br />
Bola bekel, sebuah bola terbuat dari karet dan mempunyai besar seukuran bola<br />
pingpong.<br />
Jumlah pemain bekel dapat mencapai 4 orang yang biasanya semuanya anak perempuan. Mula-mula para pemain menentukan urutan pemain dengan cara hompimpah atau pingsut. Selanjutnya bekel dan bolanya berada di tangan kanan pemain.<br />
Keempat bekel digenggam dengan tiga jari, sementara bola dijepit oleh ibu jari dan jari tengah. Bola dilempar ke atas dijatuhkan ke lantai yang datar. Selama bola memantul di udara pemain berusaha mengatur bekel agar tampak bidang pet semuanya. Pemain melempar bola lagi dan kemudian mengambil satu persatu bekel. Langkah selanjutnya pemain mengambil dua bekel dan seterusnya.<br />
Langkah tersebut disebut : pet ji, pet ro, pet lu, pet byuk. Hal yang sama juga dilakukan pada bidang yang lain.<br />
Pengambilan bekel tidak boleh menyentuh bekel lainnya atau bola menyentuh tanah dua kali dalam pengambilan bekel. Kondisi seperti ini disebut “mati” dan pemain lain mendapat giliran memainkan bekel.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">... CONGKLAK ...</span></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/congklak.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/congklak.jpg?w=250" alt="" width="250" height="142" /></a>Congklak adalah suatu permainan tradisional yang dikenal dengan berbagai macam nama di seluruh Indonesia. Biasanya dalam permainan, sejenis cangkang kerang digunakan sebagai biji congklak dan jika tidak ada, kadangkala digunakan juga biji-bijian dari tumbuh-tumbuhan.<br />
Di Malaysia permainan ini lebih dikenal dengan nama congkak dan istilah ini juga dikenal di beberapa daerah di Sumatera dengan kebudayaan Melayu. Di Jawa, permainan ini lebih dikenal dengan nama congklak, dakon, dhakon atau dhakonan. Selain itu di Lampung permainan ini lebih dikenal dengan nama dentuman lamban sedangkan di Sulawesi permainan ini lebih dikenal dengan nama Mokaotan, Maggaleceng, Aggalacang dan Nogarata. Dalam bahasa Inggris, permainan ini disebut Mancala.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">... GASING ...</span></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/gansing.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-16 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/gansing.jpg?w=148" alt="" width="148" height="220" /></a>Gasing adalah mainan yang bisa berputar pada poros dan berkesetimbangan pada suatu titik. Gasing merupakan mainan tertua yang ditemukan di berbagai situs arkeologi dan masih bisa dikenali. Selain merupakan mainan anak-anak dan orang dewasa, gasing juga digunakan untuk berjudi dan ramalan nasib.<br />
Sebagian besar gasing dibuat dari kayu, walaupun sering dibuat dari plastik, atau bahan-bahan lain. Kayu diukir dan dibentuk hingga menjadi bagian badan gasing. Tali gasing umumnya dibuat dari nilon, sedangkan tali gasing tradisional dibuat dari kulit pohon. Panjang tali gasing berbeda-beda bergantung pada panjang lengan orang yang memainkan.<br />
Gerakan gasing berdasarkan efek giroskopik. Gasing biasanya berputar terhuyung-huyung untuk beberapa saat hingga interaksi bagian kaki (paksi) dengan permukaan tanah membuatnya tegak. Setelah gasing berputar tegak untuk sementara waktu, momentum sudut dan efek giroskopik berkurang sedikit demi sedikit hingga akhirnya bagian badan terjatuh secara kasar ke permukaan tanah.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">... KELERENG / GUNDU ...</span></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/kelereng.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-17 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/kelereng.jpg?w=240" alt="" width="240" height="107" /></a>Nah.... kalo Kelereng nih macam - macam maennya, mulai dari yang pakai lobang , sampai dibikin tarohan.

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">... GALAH ASIN / GOBAK SODOR ...</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Galah Asin atau di daerah lain disebut Galasin atau Gobak Sodor adalah sejenis permainan daerah dari Indonesia. Permainan ini adalah sebuah permainan grup yang terdiri dari dua grup, di mana masing-masing tim terdiri dari 3 - 5 orang. Inti permainannya adalah menghadang lawan agar tidak bisa lolos melewati garis ke baris terakhir secara bolak-balik, dan untuk meraih kemenangan seluruh anggota grup harus secara lengkap melakukan proses bolak-balik dalam area lapangan yang telah ditentukan.<br />
Permainan ini biasanya dimainkan di lapangan bulu tangkis dengan acuan garis-garis yang ada atau bisa juga dengan menggunakan lapangan segiempat dengan ukuran 9 x 4 m yang dibagi menjadi 6 bagian. Garis batas dari setiap bagian biasanya diberi tanda dengan kapur. Anggota grup yang mendapat giliran untuk menjaga lapangan ini terbagi dua, yaitu anggota grup yang menjaga garis batas horisontal dan garis batas vertikal. Bagi anggota grup yang mendapatkan tugas untuk menjaga garis batas horisontal, maka mereka akan berusaha untuk menghalangi lawan mereka yang juga berusaha untuk melewati garis batas yang sudah ditentukan sebagai garis batas bebas. Bagi anggota grup yang mendapatkan tugas untuk menjaga garis batas vertikal (umumnya hanya satu orang), maka orang ini mempunyai akses untuk keseluruhan garis batas vertikal yang terletak di tengah lapangan. Permainan ini sangat mengasyikkan sekaligus sangat sulit karena setiap orang harus selalu berjaga dan berlari secepat mungkin jika diperlukan untuk meraih kemenangan.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">... BATU GUNTING KERTAS ...</span></span></h3>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/yoyo2.png"></a><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/kertas.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-23 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/kertas.jpg?w=70" alt="" width="70" height="70" /></a><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/batu-gunting1.jpg"></a><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/batu.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-25 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/batu.jpg?w=70" alt="" width="70" height="70" /></a><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/gunting.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-26 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/gunting.jpg?w=70" alt="" width="70" height="70" /></a><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/batu-gunting1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/batu-gunting1.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="120" /></a><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/batu-gunting1.jpg"></a>Batu-gunting-kertas adalah sebuah permainan tangan dua orang. Permainan ini sering digunakan untuk pemilihan acak, seperti halnya pelemparan koin, dadu, dan lain-lain. Beberapa permainan dan olahraga menggunakannya untuk menentukan peserta mana yang bermain terlebih dahulu. Kadang ia juga dipakai untuk menentukan peran dalam permainan peran, maupun dipakai sebagai sarana perjudian. Permainan ini dimainkan di berbagai belahan dunia.<br />
Terdapat tiga isyarat tangan dalam permainan ini. Batu digambarkan oleh tangan mengepal, gunting digambarkan oleh jari telunjuk dan tengah, kertas digambarkan oleh tangan terbuka. Tujuan dari permainan adalah mengalahkan lawan bermain. Aturan standar adalah batu mengalahkan gunting, gunting mengalahkan kertas, dan kertas mengalahkan batu.<br />
Jika kedua pemain mengeluarkan isyarat yang sama, maka permainan diulang. Kadangkala pemain menggunakan sistem berulang-ulang artinya sekali kemenangan tidak cukup untuk menghentikan permainan. Misalnya pemain yang menang 5 kali terlebih dahulu menjadi pemenang.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">... BENTENG ...</span></span></h3>
<p>Benteng, adalah permainan yang dimainkan oleh dua grup, masing - masing terdiri dari 4 sampai dengan 8 orang. Masing - masing grup memilih suatu tempat sebagai markas, biasanya sebuah tiang atau pilar sebagai 'benteng'. Tujuan utama permainan ini adalah untuk menyerang dan mengambil alih 'benteng' lawan dengan menyentuh tiang atau pilar yang telah dipilih oleh lawan dan meneriakkan kata benteng. Kemenangan juga bisa diraih dengan 'menawan' seluruh anggota lawan dengan menyentuh tubuh mereka. Untuk menentukan siapa yang berhak menjadi 'penawan' dan yang 'tertawan' ditentukan dari waktu terakhir saat si 'penawan' atau 'tertawan' menyentuh 'benteng' mereka masing - masing. Orang yang paling dekat waktunya ketika menyentuh benteng berhak menjadi 'penawan' dan bisa mengejar dan menyentuh anggota lawan untuk menjadikannya tawanan. Dalam permainan ini, biasanya masing - masing anggota mempunyai tugas seperti 'penyerang', 'mata - mata, 'pengganggu', dan penjaga 'benteng'. Permainan ini sangat membutuhkan kecepatan berlari dan juga kemampuan strategi yang handal.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">... PETAK UMPET ...</span></span></h3>
<p>Dimulai dengan Hompimpa untuk menentukan siapa yang menjadi "kucing" (berperan sebagai pencari teman-temannya yang bersembunyi). Si kucing ini nantinya akan memejamkan mata atau berbalik sambil berhitung sampai 25, biasanya dia menghadap tembok, pohon atau apasaja supaya dia tidak melihat teman-temannya bergerak untuk bersembunyi. Setelah hitungan sepuluh, mulailah ia beraksi mencari teman-temannya tersebut.<br />
Jika ia menemukan temannya, ia akan menyebut nama temannya yang dia temukan tersebut. Yang seru adalah, ketika ia mencari ia biasanya harus meninggalkan tempatnya (base?). Tempat tersebut jika disentuh oleh teman lainnya yang bersembunyi maka batallah semua teman-teman yang ditemukan, artinya ia harus mengulang lagi, di mana-teman-teman yang sudah ketemu dibebaskan dan akan bersembunyi lagi. Lalu si kucing akan menghitung dan mencari lagi.<br />
Permainan selesai setelah semua teman ditemukan. Dan yang pertama ditemukanlah yang menjadi kucing berikutnya.<br />
Ada satu istilah lagi dalam permainan ini, yaitu 'kebakaran' yang dimaksud di sini adalah bila teman kucing yang bersembunyi ketahuan oleh si kucing disebabkan diberitahu oleh teman kucing yang telah ditemukan lebih dulu dari persembunyiannya.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">... YOYO ....</span></span></h3>
<p><a href="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/yoyo2.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-22 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://jiver170203.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/yoyo2.png?w=180" alt="" width="180" height="114" /></a>Yo-yo adalah suatu permainan yang tersusun dari dua cakram berukuran sama (biasanya terbuat dari plastik, kayu, atau logam) yang dihubungkan dengan suatu sumbu, di mana tergulung tali yang digunakan. Satu ujung tali terikat pada sumbu, sedangkan satu ujung lainnya bebas dan biasanya diberi kaitan. Permainan yo-yo adalah salah satu permainan yang populer di banyak bagian dunia. Walaupun secara umum dianggap permainan anak-anak, tidak sedikit orang dewasa yang memiliki kemampuan profesional dalam memainkan yo-yo.<br />
Yo-yo dimainkan dengan dengan mengaitkan ujung bebas tali pada jari tengah, memegang yo-yo, dan melemparkannya ke bawah dengan gerakan yang mulus. Sewaktu tali terulur pada sumbu, efek giroskopik akan terjadi, yang memberikan waktu untuk melakukan beberapa gerakan. Dengan menggerakkan pergelangan tangan, yo-yo dapat dikembalikan ke tangan pemain, di mana tali akan kembali tergulung dalam celah sumbu.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Hai!. namaku masih Miko, dan tetap Miko yang sama untuk hari ini....</span></em></p>
<p>Hari ini aku datang ke kantor jam 08.15 WITA  cukup siang untuk ukuran temen2 seruangan. Cukup bikin aku malu untuk bilang selamat pagi sama orang-orang yang hadir duluan di ruangan ini. Hmph... Maaf,deh...<br />
<!--more [read the complete break]--><br />
Sebenernya, aku ngga bangun terlalu siang sih. Tapi beberapa hal perlu aku lakukan pagi-pagi ini. Termasuk pergi ke penjahit buat kecilin ukuran pinggang baju yang baru aku jahitin kemarin, plus nge-laundry jas yang mau aku pakai ke nikahnya A'ik sepupuku.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Backward ke 17.00 WITA  pada hari sebelumnya.....</span></span></h3>
<p>Aku pulang lebih awal sore ini. Udah 2 hal yang mau aku kerjain sore ini :</p>
<ol>
<li>Penjahit !!! tinggal beberapa hari lagi baju itu mau dipake buat acaranya A'ik. Semoga hasilnya sesuai bayanganku.</li>
<li>Cari kado spesial buat A'ik + Mimit (the Bride and Groom in soon). Kemungkinan besar mau cari lukisan "Rama and Shinta" .... Aku udah bisa bayangin yang mau aku tulis dikartu ucapan itu nantinya... Cari dimana?? di Erlangga kayanya.... semoga dapat,deh.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Rencana pertama !!!... </span><br />
</strong>Pulang kantor, pulang ke kost, ganti kostum biar nyaman di jalan - secara dari Kuta ke Erlangga makan waktu dan emosi (jalanan pasti merayap). Jeans hitam, shirt, plus sandal jepit item (semoga aja maling ngga doyan ma sandal satu ini), helm! Miko + Si Hitam siap berangkat!<br />
Penjahit itu ngga jauh, cuman satu menit dari kosan aku ^_^. Hmmph ternyata sampai disana masih tetep kudu nunggu - belum selese juga - SWT,deh!!! 15 menit.... dan AKHIRNYA selese juga! meski sepintas lihat, hasilnya bikin alis aku mengernyit. "Kayanya.... ngga memuaskan,deh...", batinku. "Shit!ngga ada waktu buat nyobain sekarang!", pikirku lagi. Masih ada rencana yang lebih penting.... cari kado. Akhirnya baju baru itu aku bawa saja. "Nanti saja sepulang cari kado aku cobain...".</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Rencana kedua!!!...</strong> </span><br />
Bensin full, berangkat ke Denpasar. Rencana path yang mau dilewati : Kediri - Raya Kuta - ByPassNgurah Rai - Raya Sesetan - Diponegoro - Imam Bonjol - Nusa Kambangan - Erlangga 2. Lumayan jauh T_T....<br />
 Wew!ternyata di Bypass Ngurah Rai yang segitu leganya, masih bisa bikin jalanan merayap! Sigh.... pelan2 deh.... untungnya selepas simpang siur ke arah Sanur, udah mulai lega jalannya, jadi lumayan bisa tancap gas (ngga pernah lebih dari 8 km/jam)! 40 menit perjalanan lumayan buat pikiranku kesana kemari... sampai nyaris serempetan ma ibu-ibu... Duh.... hampir aja!...<br />
Sampai di Erlangga 2. Tujuanku langsung ke gerai lukisan yang ada disana. pilih di pilih.... bongkar-di bongkar.... akhirnya aku cuman dapat satu yang paling layak dijadikan Kado..... Itu lukisan Rama + Shinta dalam baju adat Bali. Backgroundnya warna hitam, sementara Sang Rama dan Shinta dilukis dengan tinta emas. Sepintas bagus banget. Tapi, rasanya ada yang kurang,deh.... kurang lux gitu. Akhirnya aku putuskan untuk ngelurug ke Erlangga 1 yang jaraknya kurang lebih satu kilo dari Erlangga 2.<br />
Di Erlangga 1 tempatnya lebih kecil dari Erlangga 2, tapi ada beberapa barang yang ada di Erlangga 1, ngga ada di Erlangga 2. Termasuk patung "Rama Shinta" yang akhirnya aku putuskan untuk dibeli. Patung ini terbuat dari kayu, dimensinya kira2 setinggi 70 cm, lebar 20 cm. sepintas mirip ukuran wayang dengan warna cat hitam &#38; emas. Bungkus!!!<br />
Akhirnya dapat juga kadonya, dan pulang dengan perut kelaparan ^_^.</p>
<blockquote><p>LAPAR!<br />
Ya makan dong...... lapar kok malah curhat!!! ^_^</p></blockquote>
<h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Fast forward Today 08.30 WITA:</span> </span></h3>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Hai!. namaku masih Miko, dan tetap Miko yang sama untuk saat ini.</span></em></p>
<p>Kopi , masih jadi andalanku untuk ngelewatin hari-hariku dikantor. Hari ini - masih sama dengan hari-hari pada 3 minggu terakhir - masih dalam status suspended, alias NGANGGUR ^_^. Bedanya.... hari ini aku udah ngga lagi ditemenin Dian "Lady Soundwave" Minasari, Astri "Jreng jreng jreng" Kusumawardhani yang Super Duper Berisik serta Shieny and Tina (Duo ITB on job trainees) . Sepi?? ya iya lah..secara pengganti mereka adalah :</p>
<ol>
<li>Pak Robert Ojong, Senior SWD yang super tenang,</li>
<li>Novi K : salah satu yang menonjol dari Q1 2008 , dan</li>
<li>Phi : Q1 2008 yang imut (bener ga sih??);</li>
</ol>
<p>Untuk dua nama terakhir sampai dengan tulisan ini dimuat masih belum keliatan ramenya, belum ketemu 'klik'-nya kali,ya?? ^_^.</p>
<p>Sampe jam makan siang , Kopi yang aku bikin juga sudah habis separo demi menemaniku baca "Microsoft.Press.Programming.Microsoft.ASP.NET.2.0.Core.Reference" wkwkwk.... nganggur banget ato jaim didepan Pak Ojong yah??? ^_^</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Gyahahaha....<br />
Laper ga??? makan yuk...... (Today 12.06 WITA)</span></strong></p></blockquote>

<p>Regognize the boy in the video that is sam, sam concepcion the brightest star today. Here is the lyrics:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">parang.. parang..<br />
parang may isang anghel sa aking labi<br />
na nakalutang sa ulap at nangingiliti<br />
kung ang alat at asim ng buhay ay tulad<br />
ng hain ni inay suspetya ko buong mundo'y<br />
magiging mapayapa at masaya.</p>
<p>Honestly, i just recognize that boy later today. And pretty bad that during that commercial which is well known for sam's rap i'm kinda boyish that i even imitate his moves and  rap with him (hahahaha). I'm really happy that he is the boy in the ad that i even adore him even more.</p>
<p>Sam is not just a singer but an actor too. Watch this guys:</p>

<p>This movie rocks after it won the Bogen contest. I like the story and the high quality of the video.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-428" style="border:0;float:right;margin:9px;" src="http://hartanto.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/walls-1.jpg" alt="wall\'s" width="240" height="180" />Saat kecil, merek es krim yang paling diingat karena ngetopnya adalah es krim <strong>Woody</strong>, kemudian juga ada es krim <strong>Campina</strong>. Saat "bisa mendapatkan" es krim tersebut, wow, rasanya kenikmatan dan kesombongan ada dipuncaknya. Ini karena saat itu saya tinggal di pedalaman, dan es krim tergolong makanan yang masih mewah. Lha wong listrik aja belom ada, gimana mau ada yang jualan es krim..? Es krim hanya beredar di ibukota Provinsi..!</p>
<p>Saat ini, walaupun listrik tetep aja susah stabil, tapi sudah beragam merek es krim beredar di pelosok dan semua menjanjikan kenikmatan sesaat. Terutama saat krim dingin itu mampir sejenak dalam mulut, sesaat sebelum tergelincir kedalam tenggorokan.</p>
<p>Wall's, siapa yang gak kenal dengan merek ini..? Dengan sistem penjualan yang menusuk ke pedalaman dan dengan suara "penarik perhatian" yang khas, semua anak-anak, dan juga yang sudah bukan anak-anak lagi, hampir pasti pernah mencoba es krim yang satu ini. Saya juga pernah doong...</p>
<p>Gimana dengan Wall's di luar negeri tercinta ini..? Ada gak ya..?</p>
<p><!--more-->Saat suatu waktu dimasa lalu sempat menelusuri pedesaan di Enschede, Belanda, dan lorong-lorong pertokoan di sekitar kanal-kanal di kota Amsterdam yang  penuh dengan orang Belanda itu, tidak ada sama sekali yang jualan es krim Wall's. Ini bukan berarti es krim berlogo bentuk "hati" itu gak ada, tapi rupanya mempunyai nama yang berbeda. Di Belanda si es krim yang kita kenal dengan nama Wall's ternyata mempunyai nama <strong>OLA</strong>.</p>
<p>Logo hati bernama OLA juga ditemui saat keluyuran di Brugge, Belgia, saat melarikan diri sejenak dari <a title="Workshop" href="http://hartanto.wordpress.com/2006/02/16/airborne-imaging-spectroscopy-workshop/">Workshop Hyperspectral</a> (bukan napak tilas Ikal dan Arai dalam <a title="Edensor di Books.Google" href="http://books.google.com/books?id=FV18DLfHz0MC&#38;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank">Edensor-nya Andrea</a>). Saat itu tahun 2005. Es krim OLA cukup banyak juga di jumpai di kota cantik seperti Leuven ataupun Gent dan Brussel. Ternyata merek OLA memang beredar di Belgia, Belanda, Portugal dan Afrika Selatan.</p>
<p>Lain lagi saat menikmati teriknya matahari dalam temperatur permukaan bumi sekitar 40 derajat celcius di pedesaan <a title="Campillos" href="http://hartanto.wordpress.com/?s=campillos">Spanyol bagian selatan</a>, tepatnya di Kota Campillos. Juga di kota-kota seperti Cordoba, Granada dan Malaga. Di daratan Eropa bagian selatan yang semi tandus ini es krim yang tentunya sangat nikmat dalam taburan suhu sedemikian panas (saat mengalami di bulan Juni 2003) mempunyai nama yang lain lagi, yaitu <strong>FRIGO</strong>. Merek FRIGO beredar hanya di negeri matador ini, Spanyol.</p>
<p>Bagaimana dengan negeri-negeri lain..? Apakah sang hati merah melingkar-lingkar ini punya sebutan lain juga..? Rupanya jawabannya adalah ya. <strong>ALGIDA</strong> adalah nama es krim ini untuk negara Yunani, Hungaria, Itali, Polandia, dan Turki. <strong>ESKIMO </strong>adalah nama yang dikenal di negara Austria dan Ceko.</p>
<p>Di Denmark sang es krim dikenal dengan nama <strong>FRISKO</strong>. Sedangkan di negara Swedia dan Finlandia bernama<strong> GB GLACE</strong>. Di negaranya Obama, sang kandidat presiden Amerika, es krim ini bernama <strong>GOOD HUMOR</strong>.</p>
<p>Di Irlandia dikenal dengan nama yang antik, hanya dua huruf, yaitu <strong>HB</strong>. <strong>LAGNESE </strong>adalah sebutan es krim ini di negara Jerman.  Di Swiss, para penonton <a title="EURO2008" href="www.euro2008.uefa.com" target="_blank">Euro2008</a> pastilah akan menikmati es krim ini yang dikenal dengan nama <strong>LUSSO</strong>.</p>
<p>Untuk masyarakat Perancis, <strong>MIKO </strong>adalah nama untuk es krim ini.  Lalu nama <strong>WALL'S</strong> sebenarnya ada dimana saja..? Ternyata WALL'S adalah merek untuk di Inggris Raya dan beberapa negara Asia, termasuk Indonesia.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-429" src="http://hartanto.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/walls-2.jpg" alt="Wall\'s di dunia" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>Logo bisa sama dan mendunia, tetapi nama berbeda. Sang penggemarnya tentunya cukup gampang dengan mengingat gambat hati berpola melingkar yang gampang ditemui dimana-mana.</p>
<p>Mungkin ada nama lain yang beredar di negeri yang belum tersebut diatas. Entahlah... belum sempet <em>googling</em>... keburu ngiler...<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#551a8b;"><a href="http://kapisanan.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_0329-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-200" src="http://kapisanan.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_0329-2.jpg" alt="Luzon Cordillera, Philippines" width="497" height="266" /></a></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>GRAD TRIP! During my last year of undergrad in 2007 the only thing I could think about more than being finished at UofT was the graduation trip that would follow.  When most people think of graduation trips, what often comes to mind is backpacking for a month or two through western Europe.  Not me. <!--more--> No offense to anyone who has, is, or will be taking that vacation, but after living in the west all my life and spending 4 years in a mainstream knowledge institution, learning about the historical sources of degradation, classism, global commerce and society, I simply couldn’t enjoy touring the spoils of colonialism. But that’s just me. </p>
<p>Instead, I decided to take the opportunity to visit the land of my ancestors and experience the place in which my physical features originated. Other than the people of the First Nations who are truly the only authentic ancestors to the land we know as North America, <strong>everybody</strong> here has come from someplace else, whether in their lifetime or in that of their bloodline. The motherland, in my case, is the Philippines. I am a Filipino born and raised in Canada, however, with knowledge of self and knowledge of right and wrong I’m not blinded with patriotism.  I know about Canada’s history and how and why  people who look like me are here.  My community still experiences considerable discrimination and marginalization to this day, both individually and systemically, and I am not too ignorant, naïve, privileged or mentally assimilated to recognize it.</p>
<p>Like many others who are the first descendants of former immigrants I grew up as a racialized being; always wearing my ethnicity on my sleeve. And so, strapped with a critical mind, I first wanted to experience my people’s own culture and history before I did anyone else’s.  They say the deeper the roots the higher the reach, and I was on a quest like Alex Haley.  Plus, why not inject my high value Canadian currency into an economy that essentially needs it a lot more. </p>
<p>As it was my first time, when I touched down at the airport it was immediately a surreal experience.  My initial reaction was one of amazement because for the first time in my life I was no longer a “visible minority”.  Dumbfounded I reveled in the fact that everybody looked like me; I had nothing to prove.  It’s hard to articulate feeling a sense of natural comfort in a place you’ve never been before.  Metro Manila is a booming metropolis reminiscent of New York City.  It’s massive.  With 17 boroughs and a population of over 11 million, I was immediately overwhelmed. The highways and streets are rammed and everything’s bustling.  Cruising through the city you can see all types of living on a spectrum that Toronto can’t offer.</p>
<p>Like 90% of the world, most of the relationships and dynamics between the rich and the poor are rooted in colonialism, and the omnipresent inequality is an aspect endemic in our neo-colonial world that can be seen everywhere on the planet.  The Philippines, sadly, has had to deal with 3 major oppressors (the Spaniards, Japanese, and the Americans) over the last 400 years, and is currently being exploited by cancerous neo-liberal trade policies and US-backed puppet politicians.</p>
<p>From “high” society to the slums,  I experienced all.  Through friends and family I was privileged to  pass through some of the most lavish places, from gated communities to the biggest mall in all of Asia.  At the same time, through friends and family, and through volunteering with local NGO’s and advocacy groups, I was also able to meet with different community leaders in various neighborhoods to learn about and visit disenfranchised areas representative of the average Filipino condition.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://kapisanan.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_0527.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-201 aligncenter" src="http://kapisanan.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_0527.jpg?w=300" alt="Binan, Laguna. My family\'s native barrio (father\'s side)" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I was also fortunate to travel around the country a little bit, including a backpacking expedition through the northern cordillera wherein I encountered the most spectacular natural sights I could ever have dreamed of: from hiking over a mountain into a small village without roads, to swimming underneath tropical waterfalls to treading through ancient caverns.  Not to mention exploring serene and isolated mountain-top cities and towns, to drinking Ginebra (a Filipino liquor) with some local Ifugao (indigenous peoples), to lying on breathtaking paradise-esque white sand beaches.  The highlight was learning about and observing first hand the stunning, magnificent and legendary rice terraces of the Banaue region, carved into the mountains thousands of years ago by my own ancestors.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://kapisanan.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_0239.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-202 aligncenter" src="http://kapisanan.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_0239.jpg?w=300" alt="Batad, Ifugao Province" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>All in all, the most impressive aspect of the Philippines to me was the people.  Although intense at times, there was generally a friendly and laid back atmosphere and the hospitality was truly unparalleled.  No matter where I was I could always be greeted with a genuine smile, even in the areas with the harshest living conditions.  I could also find live music spots with live bands seemingly anywhere on any night, with an undeniable musical quality that was unbelievable.  From the fiestas to front porches to the ubiquitous basketball courts, I was able to kick it and politic with people who genuinely appreciate life and sincerely find solace in the intangible and immaterial aspects of existence.</p>
<p>To visit new monuments, landmarks and gorgeous natural scenery is one thing, but to do so while seeing and realizing your own personal attachment is an entirely new life encounter.  What I brought back with me was a richer perspective.  I came back with more than pictures and memories; I received understanding, fulfillment and growth, and that’s something a million dollars or a token luxurious vacation could never buy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Over the past 3 years Vladimir Romanov has overlooked his revolution. A stint that has seen 8 managers come and go and a host of Lithuanian's who have been ship in. He came in and was immediately loved by the Hearts fans. He saved the club from having to move away from our spiritual home to Murrayfield; an 67,000 seater that Hearts wouldn't even half fill.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">He wiped the clubs debts by consolidated them in his own bank; </span><a href="http://www.ub.lt/index.aspx?PageLang=ENG"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Ukio Bankas</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">. Everything seemed to be going well for Hearts and Vladimir who was exciting the fans with talk of the Champions League and splitting the Old Firm in the coming seasons.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">His first three signings were a sign of things to come. He brought three Lithuanian internationalist; </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saulius_Mikoli%C5%ABnas"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Saulius Mikoliunas</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deividas_%C4%8Cesnauskis"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Deividas Cesnauskis</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> and </span><a href="http://www.national-football-teams.com/v2/player.php?id=23480"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Marius Kizys</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">. Miko and Chesney set the league alite in there early days with exciting wing play. We were the Chelsea of Scottish football; we had a foreign investor and wingers who could swap positions with each other. Things were looking up. We had also secured the services of Lee Miller and Mark Burchill. Somewhat of a dream team you could argue. What could possibly go wrong?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Well nothing yet. The summer saw the departure of Hearts Legend John Robertson as manager and Hearts were linked with a number of high profile managers; including "the tinker man" </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudio_Ranieri"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Claudio Ranieri</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">. In the end George Burley arrived through the gates of Tynecastle and brought with him a host of exciting players. European Championship winner, Takis Fyssas, Rudi Skacel, Julian Brellier, Champions League and Uefa Cup winner Edgaras Jankauskas, Roman Bednar, Michael Pospisil and Steve Banks all joined him. This was added to the always solid backbone of Scotland internationalists Craig Gordon, Steven Pressley, Andy Webster and Paul Hartley. A team to truly challenge the Old Firm whose stranglehold on the top two spots has gone on long enough.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">It couldn't have started any better either. Hearts were clear at the top after winning our first 8 games and being unbeaten in 10 including a </span><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/4273232.stm"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">win against Rangers </span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">thanks to a Roman Bednar goal and were getting a point at Parkhead courtesy of a Rudi Skacel's goal under Burley's reign. Hearts were playing the best football in years blowing teams away in the opening 25 minutes of games and fans were daring to dream that maybe this would be their year.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">However things started to get complicated as hours before Hearts were due to play Dunfermline they released a statement saying that Heart of Midlothian had parted company with George Burley due to </span><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/4367202.stm"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">irreconcilable differences</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">. The fans were in shock, what was going on. No one could understand why we had sacked someone who had us playing attractive free flowing football. On the day Hearts won the game 2-0 and the player's uncovered t-shirts saying </span><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/4367202.stm"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">"For the gaffer"</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">. Something was badly wrong. What had Burley done to upset Romanov? Had he dared to pick the team by himself? Rumours were rife with claims that Romanov did not appreciate the way that Julian Brellier played when in fact he was the glue in the midfield that was allowing Skacel, Hartley and Miko to attack at will. An incident in the Celtic game was another rumour that Romanov was not happy with his manager. Burley did not bring on Mikoliunas for Brellier and therefore settling for a point.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Shortly after this Romanov sack </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Anderton"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Phil Anderton</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> and this was followed by the resignation of George Foulkes. These gaps were filled by Vladimir's son Roman and Sergetus Fedatovs. It wasn't only change in the boardroom but Andy Webster's agent announced that he would not be signing a new contract with Hearts. This spelt the end of his Hearts career as Webster was not to feature again for Hearts.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Suddenly we were searching for a new manager and the same big names came up. Ranieri, Scela, Matteus, Bobby Robson etc. Did we go for one of these high profile managers? Of course we didn't we </span><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/4414852.stm"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">hired Graham Rix</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">, a man with very little experience and Jim Duffy to play the role of Director of Football. Rix brought negative football and naive tactics to Hearts along with 11 new players of which he had a say in about two of them arriving. He was quickly out of the Tynecastle revolving door and was replaced by one of Romanovs yes men, Valdas Ivanauskas. Ivanauskas had previously managed Romanovs other team FBK Kaunas but was brought in to steady the ship.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">By this point results had turned sour and Hearts title challenge basically came to an end on new years' day when Celtic came back from two nil down to win three two thanks to some dubious refereeing decisions. Fyssas's sending off comes to mind when there were plenty of covering defenders and two extremely soft free kicks that were awarded. I know what you're thinking, typical bitter Hearts fan but we have had some shocking decisions go against us.  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The title may have been out of reach but second place was still very much up for grabs. While we were faltering and stumbling over the line Rangers were gathering momentum. We simply couldn't let second place go. And we didn't thanks to a very special night at Tynecastle. A full house for Aberdeen with the Champions League at the end of it if we could win. On a tough night were you could cut the tension with a knife Hearts didn't look like they would have enough to beat the Dons. Fortunately the goal finally came from the ever capable boot of Paul Hartley who scored from the spot.   </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Vlad had delivered as unbelievable as it was. Ok we didn't win the league but to come second was a huge achievement.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Next up was the cup final against Gretna. The first time we had been back to the final since 98. Again it was a nervy occasion after Gavin Skelton had equalised from Rudi Skacel opener. It was backs to the walls and saw Robbie Neilson shoot to Hearts legendary status when he somehow tackled the Gretna forward when it seemed for certain that we would fall behind. It went to penalties and by this time no one in the stadium had any nails left to bite. But all's well that ends well as the cup came home to Gorgie for the first time in 8 years.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">You'd think let's build on this. But, no this didn't happen. Lets' dismantle our team and bring in players who are not up to the same standards as those who came before them.  Out went the likes of Skacel, Brellier and Fyssas, and in came Pillabitis, Ivacevicious and Karipidis. Fair enough Karipidis has come on to a game now but he wasn't up to much when he first arrived.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The season was a disaster on and off the pitch as Hearts crashed out of both the Champions League and the Uefa Cup at the final qualifying rounds. These games were marred by more bad refereeing decisions. Bruno Aguair was sent off for moving the ball an inch in the first leg against AEK which we had led through a Sauly Mikoliunas goal. On top of this Julian Brellier saw red for wearing an earring in the second leg. We finished fourth and therefore did not qualify for Europe. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">This was the year of the Ricarton three who came out with a statement saying that Vlad had to stop meddling in team affairs. This lead to inspirational captain Steven Pressley and goal scoring midfielder Paul Hartley leaving the club for rivals Celtic.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The lack of Stability continued as Ivanauskas left the club due to stress. He was replaced by Eduard Malofeev who somehow managed to win no games in his tenure. The media believed that Hearts would be given a new Lithuanian manager in Eugenijus Riabovas but to every one's surprise Ivanauskas returned. He did not last long though and was quickly moved upstairs to become director of football. He was replaced by Anatoly Korobochka but he could not save Hearts season.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The season which has just passed has been an unmitigated disaster with key players such as Craig Gordon and Roman Bednar being moved on without any investment being put back into the squad.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">So the question has to be asked was it worth living the dream for one glorious season. I for one wouldn't have traded that season for anything in the world. However looking at us now is embarrassing, we have become a joke and must sort it out.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 3pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Mr Romanov we need your money more than ever and a top class manager that you will allow to have full control over team affairs. It is the only way forward. </span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[
Inuyasha remains to be one of my favorite anime shows I have ever seen, second best to Rurouni Kens]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><img src="http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs11/300W/i/2006/239/c/5/Inuyasha_and_Kagome_by_ElvesAteMyRamen.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="207" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;">Inuyasha remains to be one of my favorite anime shows I have ever seen, second best to Rurouni Kenshin.  I constantly watch the encore run in Hero Channel even though I already watched it a long time ago.  The anime is classified as ‘shounen’ – action-packed anime whose lead protagonist are usually boys, and often referred as ‘for boys’.  Other shounen titles include Prince of Tennis, Death Note, Naruto, Bleach and many more. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;">The manga was written by Rumiko Takahashi, and I’m currently downloading the scanlated volumes from the internet <em>(oh, I wish that I knew who were the scanlators to give proper credits, but unfortunately it was not indicated in the manga copy that I have)</em>.  But to tell you honestly, I rather much prefer the anime adaptation than the manga itself.  I don’t know how to explain it, but if you have seen the manga version, then you’ll surely know what I mean.  I was even quite surprised that the manga won the 2002 Shogakukan Award for the Best Shounen title for that year.  Uhmm, maybe the manga was really good (given its nice anime adaptation) and I might be too early to rate it, when in fact I only started to download a few titles and I am NOT even halfway through it!  Can you believe that I only download eight chapters when the latest volume release was just this May 2008 which ended in chapter 554, and still ongoing? Tssk… it is a long-term project for me, to think that the manga is still released in Japan, though it is said to be nearing its final story arc.</span><!--more--></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><img src="http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/fs11/300W/i/2006/223/5/f/Inuyasha_and_Kagome_by_DevilofAssination.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;">The 167-episode anime adaptation was produced by Yomiuri TV and Sunrise (like Kekkaishi) and directed by Masashi Ikeda and Yasunao Aoki one after the other. Even though it was officially premiered in year 2000 (in Japan), but until now, I still haven’t seen a hell lot of a conclusion in the story. The anime adaptation ended in chapter 356 of the manga.  So basically all I’m seeing all the years are the encore runs and replays all over again, but that’s okay because I’m not tired to watch them at all.  But I just wish for new anime episodes, something to look forward to, or is it better that the anime is unended? </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><img src="http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/fs8/300W/i/2005/347/5/9/Sad_Inuyasha_by_ElvesAteMyRamen.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="418" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;">Although there were four movies produced, these movies didn’t serve as a conclusion to the story either, and their plots exist independently from the original story line.  I recall the time when Animax Asia premiered these movies every weekend of the month, and I’ve seen them all.  These four movies are (1) Inuyasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time; (2) Inuyasha the Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass; (3) Inuyasha the Movie: Swords of the Honorable Ruler; and (4) Inuyasha the Movie: Fire on the Mystic Island.  My personal favorite is the third released movie, the Swords of the Honorable Ruler because Inuyasha’s brother Sesshoumaru made an appearance in there – and he’s got to be the hottest antagonist I’ve ever seen in the whole anime series (laughs)! Even though I also consider Naraku as a handsome guy, but he is still second-best to my Sesshoumaru. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><img src="http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs10/300W/i/2006/085/b/d/Sitting_Inuyasha_by_bagsybabe.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="276" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;">The anime was broadcast in Japan and in other parts of Asia in its networks in East Asia, Yomiuri TV, and Nippon Television.  The anime songs for the series are licensed by Avex Trax.  I downloaded quite a few songs, but I hope I can complete the whole set.  I only downloaded <em>Change the World</em> by V6, <em>My Will</em> by dream, <em>I am</em> by Hitomi, <em>Deep Forest</em> by Do As Infinity, <em>Unending Dream</em> by Nanase Aikawa, <em>Dearest</em> by Ayumi Hamasaki, <em>Grip</em>! by Every Little Thing, <em>Every Heart</em> by BoA, <em>One Day, One Dream</em> by Tackey and Tsubasa, <em>Come</em> by Namie Amuro, <em>Angelus</em> by Hitomi Shimatani, and <em>Brand New World</em> by V6.  I still haven’t found a copy of <em>Shinjitsu no Uta</em> by Do as Infinity, and <em>Itasura na Kiss</em> by Day After Tomorrow, as well as all the movie theme songs. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><img src="http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/fs5/300W/i/2004/306/3/e/Surprise__Inuyasha_by_fer_nanda_ssk.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="420" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:150%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;">The story centers about the high school girl Kagome Higurashii, who was transported into the feudal world of Inuyasha through an old well.  There she accidentally broke the Shikon no Tama (Jewel of Four Souls) into pieces, which is utterly dangerous because any creature that would use these broken pieces in a bad way may be dangerous.  Inuyasha, who was a half-demon also pursued to get all the pieces by himself, but he ended up pairing with Kagome in this quest since Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyou, a former priestess who stood guard of the of the jewel and Inuyasha’s beloved.  There, the two meets Miroku, a lascivious monk I say, who asks every girl he meets to be the mother of his future children, Sango, a demon exterminator who is in the quest for revenge against Naraku, and Shippo, a cute fox demon.  The main villain is Naraku who is responsible for the misunderstanding between Inuyasha and Kagome, Miroku’s curse hand, and the death of Sango’s family.  Sesshoumaru appeared once in a while to add conflict elements (and he’s so cute!) but I know deep inside that he’s a very compassionate guy.  Ha-ha! </span></p>

Comment faire pour vendre son produit, devenu pire ennemi de toutes les femmes en cette critique ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://marksattack.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/el-magnum.jpg"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://marksattack.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/el-magnum.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-19" src="http://marksattack.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/el-magnum.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="400" /></a>Comment faire pour vendre son<a href="http://marksattack.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/magnum-tentation.jpg"></a> produit, devenu pire ennemi de toutes les femmes en cette critique période du mois d'avril....surtout quand ce produit s'appelle...Magnum... Mais la tentation de Miko sait comment parler aux femmes.</p>
<p>Il est vrai que pour Magnum, l'enjeu est de taille. Il s'agit de ne pas se faire délaisser par ses consommatrices. Mais alors comment s'adresser à elles en toute finesse, et ainsi être impactant...et surtout au final, qu'elles achètent ! Oubliez le bikini Mesdames ! Miko a mis gros sur la table dans cette nouvelle opération de communication.</p>
<p>Et Magnum clame : Vous avez le droit ! Enfin, ou plutôt sa nouvelle égerie Eva Longoria... Et là, vous me dites...mais Eva Longoria, c'est l'égérie de L'Oréal ? Oui et de Magnum maintenant.</p>
<p>Avec le succès de ces icônes dans les cosmétiques, après tout, pourquoi cela ne marcherait-il pas dans l'alimentaire ? Surtout quand Madame nous chuchotte comme une vieille copine : Allez-y les filles, il est mini ce Magnum ! Alors, plus de culpabilité !</p>
<p>Mais au-delà de cette nouvelle égérie, Miss Magnum...tiens c'est curieux quand même comme titre pour l'ancienne Miss Texas..bref.... Magnum a misé gros pour cette nouvelle campagne de communication dédiée à cette cible privilégiée...</p>
<p>Rendez-vous sur le site évènementiel pour en prendre plein la vue...Magnum ne s'est pas contenté de la Desperate Housewives en images.</p>
<p>En entrant, Eva s'adresse à nous en nous invite à visiter sa villa Magnum, où toutes les tenations sont permises et sont bonnes à croquer : le Shaman, l'homme de ses rêves dans le jardin, et le majordome ayant toutes les clés pour nous séduire...ben dites donc, quel programme, Magnum est vraiment prêt à tout pour que l'on tombe sous le charme les filles ! Allez voir ça, ça vaut le détour quand même !!! Laissez vous tenter à créer vos tentations ! <a href="http://www.magnummanor.com/">www.magnummanor.com</a></p>
