Volunteering during The Pandemic

I was soo shocked i immediately turned on my laptop and wrote this blog. I just read a news saying that the number of positive cases of Covid-19 here in my country has reached up to 5000. This is c r a z y. The number escalated quickly from 4000 to 5000 in just 3 days. I don't know who to blame here as i don't have the capacity to talk about it but this increasing number of cases sure worries the hell out of me.

Due to this issue, the head of my housing complex implemented a 'local lock down' as a way to help to stop the spreading of the virus. Under no circumstances are outsider allowed to enter my neighborhood, and vice versa.

With this kind of situation, we often question ourselves: what can i do to help us against this virus?
By simply staying at home, reducing the frequency of meeting people, washing our hand, we can contribute in fighting against the virus. But how can we help people in need -Those who suffer from the pandemic as they got an unpaid leave or being laid off- when we can't even leave our house?

Our current situation gives us a hard choice. Humanity wise, it's just very heartbreaking to see ourselves being 'safe and sound' staying at our house while there are plenty of people suffering because they can't get any incomes. Instead of being safe, staying at home forces them to be able to survive with their limited stock of daily needs.

But thanks to the advance of the digital technology nowadays, we can still do things we never imagined will be able to do without being physically present. We can help those in needs in just one click. We can even volunteer ourselves as a part of fundraising programs held by a lot of NGOs to help the unfortunates and the medical workers in surviving during this pandemic situation. And of course, we are volunteering via online! I feel beyond happy that, even in this kind of situation, we are still able to be humane and value our life for the good of others.



Stay safe dear everyone,
Stay at home!

Ini nih salah satu highlight rekaman gue yang bakal gue obrolin kali ini. Dulu gue sekeluarga sempet tinggal di Banjarmasin dan kalo lebaran nggak bisa balik ke Jawa akhirnya kita jalan-jalan ke kota lain di sana, kebetulan waktu itu kita mau ke Palangkaraya. Waktu gue liat videonya, ternyata hampir sepanjang rekaman tuh jalanannya dipenuhin asap gara-gara kebakaran hutan. Btw gue dulu sebenernya pal...

Buruh dan Mesin: Siapa Paling Berjasa?

Apa lagi yang paling didambakan oleh sebuah negara berkembang jika bukan bertumbuhnya ekonomi?  Tidak terkecuali Indonesia, kesejahteraan akan selalu menjadi topik utama bagi sebuah negara . Sebagaimana yang telah dirumuskan dalam pembukaan UUD 1945, bahwa memajukan kesejahteraan umum merupakan salah satu tujuan yang dimiliki bangsa Indonesia. Tidak lupa pula disebutkan bahwa masyarakat yang adil dan makmur merupakan salah satu indikator kemerdekaan bangsa . S udahkah kita mencapai tujuan tersebut? Atau setidaknya, sudahkah kita mempersiapkan batu lo ncatan untuk meraihnya? Berbicara mengenai pertumbuhan ekonomi, tentu tidak akan lepas kaitannya dengan permasalahan mengenai perkembangan teknologi dan ketersediaan tenaga kerja. Indonesia, dan juga dunia, telah memasuki era revolusi industri 4.0 dimana tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwa kemajuan teknologi telah memberikan pengaruh besar bagi perkembangan ekonomi nasional. Peran dan kebutuhan akan buruh seakan-akan telah berkurang akib...

Ok, i think ive reached the peak of boredom here being quarantined for weeks.

Yeah, new language babe!! I'm being really optimistic with this one as i still have a lot of times until my uni starts and im a total jobless right now so,,,. what else to worry? i was a little bit lost on deciding which language i should learn hence i initially did a quick research on the internet to read people's suggestions. A lot of them suggest that its best to learn one of the United Nations' official language (beside english): arabic, mandarin, french, russian, and spanish. Out of all of them, i saw people suggest Mandarin, Spanish, and French the most. Here they come my top 3 candidates!! So how did i finally choose spanish? Ez. It wasn't...
