			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saat saya pertama kali menginjakkan kaki di kota Daeng (sebutan untuk kota Makassar) ini beberapa tahun yang lampau – sekitar awal tahun 1995 – karena mutasi ke kantor saya yang sekarang ini, yang menjadi Kepala Balainya adalah Bp. Suparno, biasa dipanggil pak Parno.</p>
<p>Tidak lama saya berada di bawah kepemimpinannya, karena ternyata, sekitar bulan Maret-April 1995,  beliau di mutasi ke Bogor. Artinya, pada saat keberadaan saya di Makassar sekitar 3-4 bulan, beliau pindah.</p>
<p>Namun, dalam kurun waktu yang singkat tersebut, ada satu kejadian yang tidak pernah saya lupakan, dan memberikan nilai pembelajaran terhadap diri saya.</p>
<p>Begini ceritanya:</p>
<p>Ketika pindah ke Makassar waktu itu saya masih sendiri – belum menikah – dan status masih calon pegawai (CPNS). Tinggal di bangunan mess kantor, di belakang kantor. Bangunan cukup baik namun sederhana, terdiri dari tiga kamar tidur. Penghuni mess adalah karyawan kantor yang relatif baru di Makassar. Satu dari Bogor dan satu lagi dari Yogya. Tidak ada pengeluaran untuk transport (karena tinggal jalan kaki saja, Bahasa karuhunnya adalah ‘<em>kari ngalengkah wae</em>’). Tinggal pengaturan untuk makan sehari-hari yang bisa ‘diatur’ diantara penghuni-penghuni mess.</p>
<p>Singkat cerita, sekitar satu minggu keberadaan saya di kota ini, saya dipanggil oleh pak Parno. Wah, saya pikir ada apa nih sampai dipanggil segala oleh pimpinan.</p>
<p>Di dalam ruangan sambil menunggu beliau berbicara – sementara telepon – saya berpikir, apa kira-kira ya, sedikit deg-degan juga.</p>
<p>Tidak lama beliau berbicara, kurang lebih seperti ini:</p>
<p>“Dek Bugi, kira-kira sudah satu minggu ya bekerja di sini, bagaimana dengan situasi kerja di sini?”</p>
<p>Saya jawab bahwa Alhamdulillah segalanya berjalan lancar – dan saya masih dalam proses penyesuaian.</p>
<p>Kalimat beliau berikutnya yang cukup membuat saya ‘surprised’:</p>
<p>“Dek Bugi, kalau mengalami kesulitan, terutama soal keuangan, dan kesulitan2 lain, tidak usah sungkan mengetuk ruangan saya. Saya bisa mengertilah, dek Bugi kan karyawan baru di sini, gaji masih 80% (karena CPNS, maka penghasilan yang diterimanya belum penuh – 100%), bukan asli sini pula, saya sangat mengerti, jadi langsung bilang saja ke saya ya &#8230;”</p>
<p>Begitu kira-kira dialog singkat yang terjadi antara saya dengan pak Parno. Terlihat seperti hal kecil atau sepele, namun, hal yang telah terjadi hampir 20 tahun yang lalu tersebut sangat membekas di hati saya.</p>
<p>Pak Parno memberikan contoh baik, khususnya kepada saya, pemimpin yang peduli bukan saja kepada pekerjaan kantor yang memang berada di bawah tanggung jawabnya, tetapi juga hingga kepada karyawan-karyawan dan persoalan yang dihadapinya. Mungkin ini yang disebut dengan pemimpin yang humanis – <em>caring people</em>, ataukah pak Parno sedang menjalankan ‘<em>effective leadership’</em> &#8211; yang menganggap bahwa &#8216;tenang&#8217;nya kehidupan karyawan akan menunjang produktivitas kerjanya, entahlah, yang pasti, jika saya menemui orang yang kebetulan diamanahi tanggung jawab sebagai pemimpin kemudian menunjukkan perilaku yang ‘bodoh’, apalagi tidak menunjukkan kepedulian kepada karyawannya (dan ini banyak ditemui dimana-mana), saya kemudian teringat sosok pak Parno.</p>
<p>Semoga bermanfaat</p>
<p>Makassar, 10 Februari 2012</p>

<dd>Iring-iringan Padi untuk upacara Seren Taun (doc: Bugi Sumirat)</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>Disela-sela guyuran hujan yang kadang deras, kadang berhenti, saya merasa beruntung bisa menyaksikan acara tahunan masyarakat <a href="http://kp-sindangbarang.com/">kampung budaya Sindang Barang</a><cite> </cite>kabupaten Bogor pada tanggal 15 Januari 2012, yang merupakan puncak dari rangkaian Festival Seren Taun Guru Bumi yang merupakan acara rutin setahun sekali masyarakat, khususnya keturunan keluarga besar Sindang Barang, kabupaten Bogor. Acara ini tepat berlangsung dalam minggu yang penuh guyuran hujan. Namun hujan tidak menyurutkan semangat pelaksana dan pengunjung acara seren taun ini. Namanya juga Bogor, sudah terkenal sebagai kota hujan. Mengadakan acara di Bogor, berarti sudah siap akan turunnya hujan.</p>
<p>Seren Taun Guru Bumi memiliki arti dasar sebagai upacara masyarakat menyimpan hasil panen (padi) di lumbung padi (Keterangan dari Hendra M Astari &#8211; &#8216;pupuhu&#8217;nya <a href="http://blogor.org/2011/06/27/reportase-sn-edisi-tgl-26-juni-2011-jaga-budaya-sunda-atuh/">komunitas Sunda Bogor</a> &#8211; yang kebetulan bertemu di lokasi acara, <em>nuhun kang Hendra</em>). Juga sebagai wujud rasa syukur atas hasil panen yang diperoleh oleh masyarakat serta harapan agar panen yang akan datang dapat lebih baik dari sebelumnya. Dalam perkembangannya, disamping diisi dengan ragam kegiatan kebudayaan, bukan hanya padi yang diikutkan tetapi hasil bumi lainnya termasuk buah-buahan serta sepatu dan sandalpun masuk. Ini dikarenakan banyak warga masyarakat yang menjadi pengrajin sepatu. Sebagai rasa syukur atas usaha mereka, barang-barang tersebutpun diikutkan dalam upacara Seren Taun. Rangkaian kegiatan Seren Taun sudah dimulai sejak tanggal 12 Januari 2012 seperti dapat dilihat dalam tabel di bawah ini:</p>

<p>Acara ini sudah secara rutin dilaksanakan sejak tahun 2006, sementara Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang secara resmi berdiri tahun 2007.</p>
<p>Banyak hal menarik yang saya temui di acara seren taun ini, diantaranya, antusiasme masyarakat  yang tinggi untuk mengikuti kegiatan ini, walaupun didera derasnya hujan, acara dapat terus berlangsung dengan semarak (termasuk turis domestik maupun mancanegara yang hadir). Ternyata Bogor, disamping keindahan alamnya, memiliki potensi budaya yang beragam dan menarik, potensial untuk dikembangkan termasuk busana-busana yang pada saat acara dikenakan sangat indah dan menarik, hingga pakaian untuk petugas pengamananpun menyesuaikan termasuk keseniannya. Rumah adat Sunda Bogor termasuk hal unik yang baru saya temui dan ini terdapat di lokasi ini.</p>
<p>Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang hanya berjarak kurang lebih lima kilometer dari kota Bogor. Terletak di desa Pasir Eurih kecamatan Tamansari Kabupaten Bogor. Menurut hikayat, kampung ini merupakan kampung tertua untuk wilayah kota dan kabupaten Bogor. Kampung inipun mudah dijangkau karena kendaraan umum sampai ke dekat lokasi.</p>
<p>Dari keseluruhan acara yang sangat menarik, ada beberapa hal yang perlu mendapatkan perhatian untuk perbaikan dimasa mendatang antara lain: promosi kegiatan ini yang masih kurang, terlihat dari kurang gencarnya informasi yang beredar luas di masyarakat. Dari beberapa rekan yang saya informasikan, rata-rata belum pernah mendengar informasi tentang hal ini. Hal lain adalah kurangnya perhatian Pemda Bogor terhadap kegiatan ini. Ini terungkap pada saat ketua panitia menyampaikan sambutannya, dikatakan dengan tegas bahwa acara Seren Taun Guru Bumi adalah acaranya masyarakat, acaranya rakyat, karena tidak mendapatkan bantuan/dukungan maupun sponsor dari pihak Pemda Kabupaten Bogor. Ucapan ini mendapatkan respon yang ramai dari warga masyarakat yang hadir. Sangat ironis!</p>
<p>Gambaran kemeriahan acara Seren Taun dapat dilihat dalam beberapa foto di bawah ini (koleksi foto lainnya dapat dilihat di <a href="http://matabugi.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/seren-taun-festival-the-community-gratitude-expression-to-god/">sini</a>):</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sumber berita dari <a href="http://female.kompas.com/read/2012/01/03/0915489/Ajarkan.Anak.Makan.Makanan.Sehat">Female Kompas</a>, yang ditulis oleh Christina Andika Setyantini yang bersumber dari artikel lain (sumber asli disebutkan di bagian bawah artikel). Berdasarkan pengalaman saya, hal ini merupakan hal yang crucial pula dan memerlukan dukungan pengetahuan orang tua yang sangat mendalam akan hal ini. Untuk itulah saya ikut men-share artikel ini. Semoga bermanfaat.</p>
<p><strong>KOMPAS.com</strong> &#8211; Waktu makan seringkali menjadi masalah tersendiri bagi ibu dan anak. Maklum saja, anak-anak cenderung lebih menyukai jajanan yang kurang bergizi, atau <em>junk food</em> yang akhirnya menyebabkan anak menjadi obesitas.</p>
<p>Sebagai orangtua Anda memiliki pengaruh dan kontrol yang sangat besar dalam situasi ini. Untuk itu, Anda perlu lebih cermat dalam menyediakan asupan makanan sehat pada anak-anak. Berikut beberapa cara yang bisa dilakukan agar anak-anak mau makan makanan sehat.<br />
<strong><br />
1. Beri contoh yang baik.</strong> Orangtua seharusnya menjadi contoh bagi anak-anak, termasuk dalam hal makan. Anak-anak mengamati apa yang Anda makan, bahkan ketika Anda tidak sadar mereka sedang memperhatikan Anda. Misalnya, ketika Anda sedang menonton televisi ditemani sepiring gorengan dan sekantong keripik. Hal ini mengirimkan pesan yang salah kepada anak-anak, bahwa makanan itulah yang seharusnya dinikmati sehari-hari. Mereka tidak akan mengerti apakah makanan tersebut cukup bergizi atau adakah pengaruh buruknya. Sebaiknya, buatlah makanan yang sehat sebagai camilan Anda, misalnya potongan buah segar di tengah hari dan tawarkan kepada anak-anak.</p>
<p><strong>2. Masak makanan sehat.</strong> Anda tidak perlu memaksa anak-anak Anda untuk menyantap berbagai makanan sehat dengan alasan bisa menurunkan berat badan. Untuk mendorong kebiasaan makan sehat anak-anak Anda, kurangi kebiasaan Anda jajan, dan masaklah berbagai masakan sendiri di rumah. Gunakan kreativitas Anda untuk mengolah berbagai masakan. Jika Anda membiasakan anak untuk makan makanan rumahan sejak mereka kecil, mereka pun tidak akan membiasakan diri untuk mengonsumsi jajanan di luar yang kurang menjanjikan asupan gizinya.<br />
<strong><br />
3. Berikan imbalan. </strong>Berikan imbalan pada anak ketika mereka bersedia memakan sayur atau buah-buahan yang Anda sediakan untuknya. Misalnya saja, anak sangat menyukai es krim. Maka Anda bisa menetapkan aturan, mereka bisa menikmati es krim jika mereka sudah menghabiskan seporsi buah yang disediakan. Pendek kata, buah dan sayuran menjadi kudapan utamanya, sedangkan camilan lain yang menjadi favoritnya hanya diposisikan sebagai bonus saja.</p>
<p><strong>4. Bersikap tegas dan konsisten.</strong> Ketika sudah menetapkan aturan untuk menyantap makanan sehat di rumah, bersikaplah konsisten dengan aturan tersebut. Jangan memberi kelonggaran hanya karena anak mengeluh sedang malas atau sedang capek. Jika anak tidak menghabiskan sayur bagiannya, beri hukuman dengan tidak memberikan makanan penutup kesukaannya. Anak-anak jauh lebih mudah memahami hadiah atau hukuman langsung dibanding hanya sekadar ucapan. Diskusikan aturan ini dengan pasangan, agar Anda bisa saling mendukung.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#000080;">If you look at the photo I attached in this post, you will recognise where I will lead you to continue my story. It was me and my family: my wife and my son when we lived temporarily in Albury, NSW, Australia, in facing Christmas session in 2007.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_361" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/with-family.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-361" title="With family in St Claus uniform (doc: Bugi Sumirat)" src="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/with-family.gif?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="With family in St Claus uniform (doc: Bugi Sumirat)" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">With family in St Claus uniform (doc: Bugi Sumirat)</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">At that time, in my son’s playgroup in one of playgroup in community centre in Albury – there was a preparation to face a long holiday, prior to Christmas and facing the year of 2008. I received a surprise request. The playgroup principal requested me to act as St Claus (in Bahasa Indonesia, it is well-known as Sinterklas – adopted from Dutch).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">She was asking me politely:”<em>Bugi, could I ask you a favour, would you mind to be St Claus for playgroup Christmas party?</em>”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">My question was only whether it was a part of ritual or only a part of party. She assured me that it was a part of fun. And She knew I am Muslim. The main purpose was only to cheer up kids &#8211; and families.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">But she said:”<em>But if you feel offended with my request I apologize, I didn’t mean to do that. I looked you have already become a part of this playgroup family so I raised this request. However, if you are mind, that’s not a problem, we would like to hire a man to do this.</em>”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">Then I, confidently, replied:”<em>Sure, I don’t mind and I will participate! Just tell me what I should be doing</em>.” She, therefore, gave me a brief explanation of how to be a St Claus.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">“<em>You just need to say ‘ho .. ho .. ho &#8230;’ and ask kids ‘have you been good?’ after that give presents to kids</em>.” She added.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_362" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/classroom.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-362" title="Distributing Christmas Gifts (doc: Bugi Sumirat)" src="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/classroom.gif?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="Distributing Christmas Gifts (doc: Bugi Sumirat)" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Distributing Christmas Gifts (doc: Bugi Sumirat)</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">On the D day, I was ready to be St Claus. I and my family went to playgroup as usual. The playgroup activity was divided into two: a regular playgroup activity and the party.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">After I changed to St Claus uniform – a white and red uniform, the party began. The party was running well, with me as a St Claus and one of playgroup teacher who helped me to call for kids and distributed St Claus’ gifts. No one recognised who I was under St Claus uniform, except one kid that said:”<em>I know who you are, Santa</em>.” I replied:”<em>Do you know me</em>?” He said:”<em>Yes, you’re Ghia’s father</em> (Ghia is my son’s name).” I again asked him:”<em>How did you recognise me</em>?” Then he added: “<em>I recognised your crocs </em>(my shoes)<em>. It is yours, Ghia’s father</em>.” I just smiled at him.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">It was my unforgettable moment and I was happy to do that, to make everybody happy. For me, personally, it was one real implementation of tolerance.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">Dear all who celebrates Christmas, I would like to say Happy Christmas 2011 and Happy New Year 2012.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">Bogor, 24 December 2011</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tulisan dalam blog ini adalah bagian dari cerita berantai – ‘cer-ai’ (<em>chain blog posting</em>) komunitas blogger Bogor (Blogor) yang kali ini bertemakan kota Bogor. Peserta cer-ai kali ini terbagi kedalam dua golongan, golongan hitam (sisi negatif kota Bogor) dan golongan putih (sisi positif kota bogor). Kebetulan saya termasuk ke dalam golongan putih beserta rekan-rekan yang lain, yaitu: Pege, Matrisoni, Fajar, Ontohod, WKF, Insan Luthfi Habibi, Harris Maulana, Irvan Setya Adji dan Defidi. Informasi lengkap mengenai cer-ai ini bisa dilihat di Blogor (masukkan linknya). Selamat menikmati.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Sejak tinggal di Bogor yang belum genap setahun (resminya sejak Februari 2011), saya memperhatikan dari lingkungan tempat saya tinggal, banyak hal terkait edukasi  lingkungan yang bisa saya coba gunakan untuk diperkenalkan  kepada anak-anak. Saya coba terapkan terlebih dahulu kepada anak saya – usia baru mencapai empat tahun lebih – dimana daya ingin tahu dan rekamnya masih sangat tinggi. Berikut beberapa pengalaman yang saya ingin bagikan kali ini.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bogor kota hujan</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Siapa yang tidak kenal akan julukan kota Bogor sebagai kota hujan. Julukan ini sudah sangat pel-menempel bagi kota Bogor. Memang betul, ternyata tinggal di Bogor itu, ada dua hal yang tidak boleh terlupa dibawa bepergian, yaitu: payung dan mantel hujan. Maklum, siang hari bisa sangat panas (orang Bogor menyebutnya dengan ‘<em>panas mentreng</em>’) dan sore harinya bisa turun hujan lebat dengan <em>guludug</em> (bhs Sunda yg berarti kilat) yang keras dan sering, belum lagi anginnya <em>hm hm hm</em> &#8230; dahsyat <em>deh</em>.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_344" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/wheater-station1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-344" title="wheater station (doc: pribadi)" src="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/wheater-station1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="wheater station (doc: pribadi)" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">wheater station (doc: pribadi)</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Dengan keadaan ini, di rumah, saya pasangkan ‘<em>weather station</em>’ (pengukur cuaca) sederhana yang terdiri dari penunjuk arah mata angin, termometer, pengukur curah hujan dan kecepatan angin. Sekarang, saya dan anak saya memiliki kegiatan baru, setelah hujan reda, kami melihat pengukur cuaca itu, melihat berapa jumlah air hujan yang masuk kedalam gelas ukurnya (milimeter), berapa suhu udara saat itu – termasuk perubahan suhu dan bagaimana termometer itu bekerja. Tetapi yang menjadi favorit anak saya adalah ketika angin kencang bertiup karena membuat alat penanda kecepatan angin itu berputar &#8211; semakin kencang tiupan angin maka semakin cepat pula putarannya.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Sambil mengamati alat sederhana ini pula, merupakan kesempatan saya untuk menjelaskan kepada anak saya, bagaimana terjadinya hujan, petir dan angin yang bertiup termasuk perubahan temperatur udara yang terjadi. Tentu dengan bahasa anak-anak yang mudah dimengerti.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mandi di sungai</span> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Tidak jauh dari rumah, mengalir sungai Caringin (saya sendiri belum tahu apa nama pasti sungai itu, yang pasti sungai itu lewat di dekat lingkungan perumahan saya di wilayah Dramaga, Bogor – yang sebelumnya melewati jembatan pertigaan daerah Caringin – Ps. Dramaga, Kab. Bogor). Di hari libur, beberapa kali kami ‘mampir’ ke sungai itu, yah, piknik yang murmer deh (murah meriah), main-main di sungai dan biasanya diakhiri dengan makan siang. Sungai itu juga terlihat digunakan oleh warga sekitar (diluar perumahan tempat kami tinggal) untuk aktivitas sehari-hari – termasuk diambil batu-batu kalinya untuk dijual.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_347" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ghia-and-kiki-sungai.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-347" title="Asyik main di sungai - anakku (baju biru) dan temannya (doc: pribadi)" src="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ghia-and-kiki-sungai.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="Asyik main di sungai - anakku (baju biru) dan temannya (doc: pribadi)" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Asyik main di sungai - anakku (baju biru) dan temannya (doc: pribadi)</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Disungai itu, sambil bermain air dan berendam (karena kami bermain di daerah yang dangkal, bukan di daerah yang dalam sehingga tidak bisa untuk berenang), saya biasanya menjelaskan kepada anak saya, juga dengan bahasa yang mudah dimengerti, fungsi sungai, asal sungai, kemana sungai mengalir dan pentingnya sungai dan sekitarnya. Contoh buruk yang biasanya kami dapati adalah terdapatnya sampah-sampah yang tidak dapat terurai (seperti plastik dan lain sebagainya). Contoh ini digunakan sebagai ‘nasehat’ agar kita tidak membuang sampah sembarangan, termasuk disungai.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_348" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/sungai-w-ghia-for-blog.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-348" title="cebar-cebur disungai dangkal (doc: pribadi)" src="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/sungai-w-ghia-for-blog.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="cebar-cebur disungai dangkal (doc: pribadi)" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">cebar-cebur disungai dangkal (doc: pribadi)</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Gunung berliput awan</span>  </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Jalan-jalan disekitar lingkungan perumahan tempat kami tinggal juga dapat menjadi sarana pembelajaran. Kebetulan dari dalam lingkungan perumahan, pemandangan gunung Salak terlihat dengan jelas. Sangat cantik jika gunung itu terlihat sedikit diselimuti oleh awan. Sepertinya menjadi lebih anggun.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_349" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ghia-bun-for-blog.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-349" title="Istri &amp; anak - latar belakang gunung - pemandangan dari sekitar rumah (doc: pribadi)" src="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ghia-bun-for-blog.jpg?w=300&#038;h=224" alt="Istri &amp; anak - latar belakang gunung - pemandangan dari sekitar rumah (doc: pribadi)" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Istri &amp; anak - latar belakang gunung - pemandangan dari sekitar rumah (doc: pribadi)</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Sambil menikmati gunung, bisanya menggunakan binokuler ataupun teleskop, saya menjelaskan kepada anak saya apa itu gunung, bagaimana terjadinya, mengapa gunung bisa terlihat lebih tinggi, sementara awan dapat terlihat lebih rendah dan kadang terlihat lebih tinggi – kemudian pula saya hubungkan antara perbedaan awan jika akan turun hujan dan awan jika tidak akan turun hujan dan lain sebagainya.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Dengan penjelasan seperti itu, anak saya manggut-manggut, namun kadang dia lebih tertarik melihat bagaimana awan itu bisa bergerak, sehingga kadang ia berteriak,”Bab, awannya ngikutin kita!”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Hamparan sawah</span> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Pagi hari, saya sering mengantar anak ke sekolah TKnya yang tidak begitu jauh dari rumah. Dari rumah, ada jalan pintas menuju ke sekolah tersebut yang disebut dengan jalan BBS. Pemandangan di sekitarnya itu yang masih menawan, seperti hamparan sawah, aktivitas petani di sawah, termasuk membajak sawah dengan menggunakan kerbau, hingga saat panen tiba.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_351" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/sawah.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-351" title="Sawah yg sering dilewati menuju TK si kecil (doc: pribadi)" src="http://bugisumirat.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/sawah.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="Sawah yg sering dilewati menuju TK si kecil (doc: pribadi)" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sawah yg sering dilewati menuju TK si kecil (doc: pribadi)</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Kesempatan itu saya gunakan untuk menjelaskan kepada anak saya mengenai apa itu sawah, guna kerbau, apa fungsi membajak sawah dan pasca panennya.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Sekarang ini, kadang jika hendak makan, ia berkomentar,”Bab (panggilan utk ayah), ini nasi yang aku makan, berasnya dari sawah petani dekat sekolah aku ya!?”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Demikian segelintir pengalaman yang dapat saya <em>share</em> di sini. Banyak  hal bisa kita jadikan sarana edukasi bagi keluarga kita, bisa dimulai dari lingkungan sekitar tempat kita tinggal, terutama sebagai upaya mendekatkan diri anak-anak kepada alam. Yang tidak kalah pentingnya adalah diskusi-diskusi seperti tersebut diatas, berdasarkan apa yang saya alami, saya rasakan hubungan interaksi antara anak dan orang tua menjadi cair, lebur seperti tanpa sekat. Sangat bermakna buat saya.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Kalau saya cerita beberapa pengalaman saya seperti tersebut di atas kepada teman-teman saya yang tidak tinggal di Bogor, dan jarang menemui seperti yang saya <em>share</em> di atas, mereka kadang berkomentar,”kamu sih enak, tinggal di Bogor, jadi masih bisa menemui hal-hal seperti itu.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Biasanya saya timpali dengan guyonan,”makanya tinggal di Bogor!” sambil tersenyum.<br />

<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Mr. Obama, US President, was famous with the slogan, YES WE CAN, during his journey to the number one chair in the United States. Indeed, he proved it by becoming the US President and the first US President with the Afro-American background.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">During the 26<sup>th</sup> SEA Games that was held in Jakarta – Palembang, Indonesia, 11-22 November 2011 [http://seag2011.com/], Mr. Obama was here in Indonesia &#8211; not coming to SEA Games venue but to attend ASEAN and East Asia Summit that was held in Bali (17 – 19 November 2011). There was no relationship between his attendance in Indonesia and SEA Games. However, his (old) slogan – Yes we can – more or less was able to be used to reflect to our slogan, AYO INDONESIA BISA. Our slogan, in my opinion, was effective as our motivation word, our ‘mantra’ word to fulfill our dreams to come true.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">This slogan also worked for Indonesian supporters. With this, we were able to support Indonesian team. AYO INDONESIA BISA hypnotized all of us. It became the powerful word to motivate both players and supporters.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Not only supporters who were attending the venues but also for indirect supporters that were not able to participate directly. For instance, I was not able to attend event for one game at all, but, by paying attention to daily 26<sup>th</sup> SEA Games Journal on TV or watching its live show on TV, I and my family could participate by shouting, and also clapping during watching the game, ”<em>AYO INDONESIA BISA … AYO INDONESIA BISA … </em>“ We knew it was not possible for them to listen to us – to our support. But, it was a kind of moral support – a prayer from us to them, Indonesian contingent.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">God listened to us. After fourteen years since 1997 (in the 19<sup>th</sup>) SEA Games, Indonesia went to be the over-all champion again by obtaining 182 gold, 151 silver and 142 bronze. Indonesia proved to be the 26<sup>th</sup> SEA Games over-all winner. We were the sport champion within South East Asia countries.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">We are proud of you, Indonesian contingent. Looking at our red and white flag in the air built more proud to be Indonesian. Hopefully, we are able to be the next over-all champion again in the 27<sup>th</sup> SEA Game that will be held in Myanmar in 2013.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">I have no idea whether there was a relationship between Mr. Obama’s coming to Indonesia and Indonesia’s achievement, maybe it was worthy for anyone one who believes superstition. However, I am sure, our slogan: AYO INDONESIA BISA is one of the success factors behind our glory. With pleased, I would say,”<em>Mr. Obama, we have slogan as strong as yours too: AYO, INDONESIA BISA</em>.”</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#800080;">ASEAN summit meeting will be held in Bali: 17 &#8211; 19 November 2011. Paralleled with this, it will be held ASEAN Blogger Conference (16-17 November 2011) as well. The theme is the New ASEAN and Its cooperation with Dialogue Partners. It is predicted to be attended by around 200 participants from 10 ASEAN member countries and representation of blogger communities in Indonesia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">What does it mean to blogger around ASEAN countries in general and especially Indonesian blogger?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Indeed it was fully supported directly by Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, that stated to provide his fully support to the idea of developing ASEAN Blogger Community. He added that this idea was a brilliant and innovative idea. He expressed this statement in the 44<sup>th</sup> ASEAN Ministerial Meeting in July 2011 that was held in Bali.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">My memory then flew away to the venue I attended in Jakarta, 6 August 2011 at Mandiri Museum Jakarta. It was related to the ASEAN Blogger Community gathering and photo exhibition. The meeting was attended also by Director General for ASEAN Cooperation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Djauhari Oratmangun and Special Adviser ASEAN, Europe Union Delegation Jan-Willem Blankert.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">In the discussion time, I raised question about which was any evidence of government put their real concern to feedback provided by bloggers. Mr. Oratmangun gave his definite answer: Yes! He stated that based on his experiences, he recognized bloggers’ postings in their weblog (social media in general) were the representative of community dynamic. It was an inspiration for decision makers as well. The decision makers were able to absorb those feedbacks. Of course, only feedback that was supported by adequate data that was valuable. He added that the reason behind why Indonesian President, SBY, provided his fully support for the development of ASEAN Blogger Community was that he already recognised the important feedback from bloggers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">On the other hand, Mr. Blankert showed different opinion. He had never had any experience using bloggers postings as a direct feedback. However, he realised that bloggers were potential to provide feedback for decision makers in any field. He pointed out what happened in China. China was a closed country but people around the world were able to ‘see’ what happened in China from China bloggers’ eyes – through their postings. This information then was used as information for decision makers or any parties that needed information of China from different angle.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Based on examples above, and I am sure from bloggers’ experiences as well, become a blogger is significant, posting feedback for government or decision makers will have the similar positive value, and we – bloggers – need to be aware that people out there are looking at our posting as the representative of community dynamic and source of information as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Back to my question above: <em>What does it mean to blogger around ASEAN countries in general and especially Indonesian blogger? </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">I am confident ASEAN Blogger Conference will guide ASEAN Blogger Community, through a proper conference agreement, to prepare for facing ASEAN community in 2015 that will be more in people oriented and people driven.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">In this circumstance, I would like to provide suggestions for ASEAN Blogger Conference, i.e.:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">1.      ASEAN motto is one vision, one identity, one community. Is that reliable for ASEAN Blogger Community? This needs to be evaluated due to, perhaps, it might work for its mother organisation – ASEAN that already have a robust structure or governance. While blogger community, it is a compilation of blogger as individual and independent body.  ASEAN Blogger Community possibly needs to set up a unique format, could be paralleled or not to its mother, more to show that blogger organisation is an independent organisation, despite it has a mother organisation or not and of course without losing their identity as bloggers from ASEAN countries.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">2.      If we consider two aforementioned statements from Mr. Oratmangun and Mr. Blankert, it is apparent how bloggers are potential to be ‘heard’ by government or decision makers. This reason indicates the existence of ASEAN Blogger Community is potentially to be significant as well. As a consequence, this organisation needs to contribute properly through following up to date issues in ASEAN region. I would like to suggest one issue that need to consider properly, i.e.: environmental and forestry issue. This issue is significant and has been concerned internationally. ASEAN 10 countries cover around 213 million hectares of forests. These forests and ecosystems also become source of products and services for local livelihoods.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">3.      ASEAN forests currently cover approximately 213 million hectares of land across 10 countries. Their diverse composition consists of tropical lowland forests, mountain forests, coastal mangrove forests, and peat forests, as well as the remnants of what is believed to be the oldest tropical rainforest in the world. It is well recognized that these forests and their ecosystems provide both products and services for local livelihoods (source: <span style="color:#0000ff;"><a href="http://recoftc.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/social-forestry-in-climate-change-mitigation-and-adaptation"><span style="color:#0000ff;">RECOFTC</span></a></span>).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">4.      My last suggestion is that ASEAN Blogger Community is able to persuade ASEAN leaders to be blogger as well, personally, not under official website. I have no data whether they have already had a personal blog or not. But by developing their own personal blog, it is able to create better communication from them to other bloggers and to open community. And in my opinion, it is not forbidden for leader from any country to manage their blog. It is able to motivate people to be a blogger too.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;">Those are my suggestions as a blogger. Success for the ASEAN Blogger Conference and hope this conference is able to provide a valuable contribution for ASEAN Blogger Community and ASEAN in general.</span></p>
