Miss u

More than a week I don't see u.
I miss u so much.
Always remember all time we've passed it through.
Laugh n cry...
Love n lost...
Regret n realize...
And now, I'm gonna miss u more than before.
I don't know when will I see u again.
But,when I close my eyes...
I know that u always stay inside my heart.
Never go away....

Merry X'mas

Merry X'mas..
I'm not sure this is a wonderful X'mas for me.
Something different with the other X'mas...
Something missed in my heart.
I didnt know what's the problem came from.
From me,my family, or something else?
I dunt have the answer yet...

So Sick

I wanna take a rest just for a moment...
I'm weak....
I keep this disease from my family coz I don't want they sad
And now....
Suddenly, I feel that ....

I don't wanna think more .......
Just don't disturb me....

I wanna be alone....

Though (from the bottom of my heart) I want this X'mas can be colourful...
Can be warm with my family presence,can't it?)


Only time can answer all the question

Miss my Vocal Group's Family

HUaaaaaa......Sdh lama ga ketemu anak2 gw,tiba2 ada perasaan kehilangan dan rindu. Ada apa dengan priscil? Hehehe...Jd pingin pergi ma mereka. Selama 1 semester ini, suka duka sdh dilewati bersama. Latian nyanyi, tampil lomba, dan yg paling keren TENTUNYA adalah rekaman (walau cm jd backing vocal, wkwkwkwk)....
Abis UAS mo pergi ah sama mereka. Dr awal pertemuan udah ngajak pergi tp batal krn banyak yg ga bs. Kecewa deh...awalnya....
Tp skrg very2 have fun... Semuanya bs saling mengakrabkan diri satu sama lain. Gw sangat terharu. Di saat gw sedih n feel lonely, cm liat foto2 mereka aja udah bs bikin senyum2 sendiri...

P.S. Walau gw sayang mereka, jg ada 1 orang yg tetap spesial di hati gw (ehem...kira2 org yg gw maksud, baca tulisan ini ga yah? :P)

Suaraku(Berharap) by Hijau Daun

Disini aku masih sendiri
merenungi hari-hari sepi
Aku tanpamu
Masih tanpamu

Bila esok hari datang lagi
Ku coba untuk hadapi semua ini
Meski tanpamu, Oo~ meski tanpamu

Bila aku dapat bintang yang berpijar
Mentari yang tenang bersamaku disini
Ku dapat tertawa menangis merenung
di tempat ini aku bertahan

Suara dengarkanlah aku
Apa kabarnya pujaan hatiku
Aku disini menunggunya
masih berharap di dalam hatinya

Suara dengarkanlah aku
Apakah aku slalu dihatinya
Aku disini menunggunya
masih berharap di dalam hatinya

Kalau aku masih tetap disini
Ku lewati semua yang terjadi
Aku menunggumu, oo~ aku menunggu
~{}~
Suara dengarkanlah aku
Apa kabarnya pujaan hatiku
Aku disini menunggunya
Masih berharap didalam hatinya

Suara dengarkanlah aku
Apakah aku ada dihatinya
Aku disini menunggunya
Masih berharap didalam hatinya
Suara dengarkanlah aku
Apa kabarnya pujaan hatiku
Aku disini menunggunya
masih berharap di dalam hatinya
Oo~Suara dengarkanlah aku

Melati Untuk Marvell...

Yg di atas itu noh judul sinetron yg bikin gw terharu. Nonton sinetron itu serasa ngeliat gw sendiri. Bayangin aja yg seri hr ini,ceritanya si melati dah ga kuat ma tunangannya. Dia merasa hbng itu terlalu dipaksakan. Lalu si melati balikin cincin tunangannya n cari marvell buat dicurhatin. Pas mrk pulang, di taxi si melati pinjem bahunya marvell buat sandaran. N marvell ngerangkul melati. Huaaaaaa...keluar air mata gw. Rasanya de ja vu aja ngeliat kejadian itu...

Our Love Have Been Growing Since This Rainy

Judul di atas terinspirasi pas td di mobil. Awalnya mo nulis Our Love Growed Up When It Was Rainy...cm "someone" help to fix the grammar. N hasilnya judul yg di atas deh. Ehm..gw tiba2 pingin nulis kata2 itu krn hr ini jd hr yg berkesan buat gw saat ada dia di dkt gw. I'm so happy can spend half day with him, can see his smile, his eyes, and all things we've done (cieeeee.....)
I realize that my luv for him increase day by day. Gw harap ke depannya kita bs tetap jalan,lewati semuanya bersama. Saat dia lg ada mslh,gw berharap dia bs crita ke gw. Gw mao nemenin dia (kalo dia mao jg sih,wkwkwkwk).
How about me?
Now with him...I feel that I out of the blue. He paints my day with new color. I hope that one day (if i could) we can make a new chapter together. Oh iya,td gw sempat nangis jg waktu ma dia (tp paling dia kaga tau,hahahaha).

P.S. I Love You,Honey...

Raindrops keep falling on my head

Huaaaaaa...dah lama ga isi blog. Nulis lagi deh di awal desember...
Ya.....bsk UAS pertama, yesterday n today gejala tipus kumat. Ga bs mkn sambal n minum dingin. Pingin nonton twilight tp ga jadi2. Yg ga enak,semua udah pada nonton. Td di BEM,moody dkk bikin resensi film twilight. Nah gw? Yah jd pendengar walau dlm hati bete...bete ah.... :(
Tp ga mungkin dunk selama seharian penuh muka terus ditekuk jd kayak hantu jeruk purut....(apa ae seh?hahahaha) walau..........pas td sampe di kampus sdh langsung di"ramah"in ma bro sendiri (Duh bro,insaf duonk...kasian tuh cewe lo!).
Barusan plg ternyata rintik2. Tiba2 pingin bgt nyanyi lagu "Raindrops keep falling on my head"...

The Sweetest Thing

Skrg gw lg sakit. Kmrn abis periksa darah ternyata gw kena tipus T_T. Demamnya udah dr kampus minggu lalu,tp gw kira demam biasa. Ternyata kena tipus. Huhuhu... Two days ago...In the morning, Surabaya was raining. Gw rencana mo ke kos someone n rencananya mo dijemput ma cow itu tuh. Dia lg di kampus (tp beda gedung ma gw). Dia ke kampus bw motor (biar gampang parkirna). Hujan tinggal rintik2 lalu dia tanya gw mo dijemput naik mbl ato motor? Lalu gw jwb naik motor aja biar cpt. Trus dia nyuruh gw nunggu dpn bank. Br tutup telp,hujannya langsung deras lg. Tiba2 dia telp lg,dia blg dia plg kos dl ganti mobil br jemput gw. Gw disuruh naik lwt jok tengah biar gw ga kena ujan (scr gw lg demam cm kaga tau kalo kena tipus). Akhirnya ga lama kemudian dia jemput gw pake mbl nya. Pas gw msk jok tengah...OMG! Rambut dia basah bgt. Bahkan semua bajunya basah. Dia nekat menerobos hujan dr kampus ke kos nya buat ganti mobil spy bs jemput gw di kampus. Gila...hati gw langsung lumer...That's the sweetest thing he has ever done for me.
Btw,beberapa waktu ini he felt frozen but now I know it turned into melting :)

Have u ever felt like me?

Gw merasa bingung dgn perasaan gw. Seorang tmn...sahabat...yg slalu ada di sisiku dlm setiap kesedihanku. Yg mengubah tangis menjadi senyuman. Suatu kepanitiaan mempertemukan kami dlm 1 divisi yg sama. Buatku di antara semua cowok yg ada di divisi itu,dia yg paling manis (walau kata tmn2 gw msh cakepan Philip,wkwkwkwk). Dari kepanitiaan itu akhirnya kita jd tmn. Arrgghhh...I was happy when I was start chat with him. Tp hubungan itu cm jd pertemanan biasa. Tdk lbh( I have a bf). Bahkan sampai acara kepanitiaan itu berakhir semuanya msh tetap sama spt dulu. 8 bln sdh sejak perkenalan itu. Beberapa hr lalu semuanya terasa berubah. Gw sayang dia begitu jg dia sayang gw. Ehmm...kpn hr dia blg ke gw sewaktu kepanitiaan dimulai dia pernah memperhatikan gw n imagined if I could be his gf. Oh...I'm so happy. Ternyata ketertarikan gw ke dia waktu itu jg dirasakan sm. N now I'm so confused... I feel like a cinderella. He is a popular guy and I? just an ordinary girl :(

Gara-gara Janda

Duh...rugi mengeluarkan uang 20 rb demi menonton film murahan.
Kapan hr gw n my boyfriend jln2 ke PTC, gara2 capek jln mulu akhirnya we decided to watched a movie. Berhubung film di bioskop rata2 mbo kamsud n ga jelas,finally kita pilih Ku Tunggu Jandamu. Gila,dr awal sampe akhir serasa nonton film porno. Parah kok perfilman Indo,film2 nya kalo bkn setan2an, porno2an....So,sapa yg hrs disalahin? Nenek moyang kite pasti sedih liat generasi selanjutnya kayak gini. Nah lo,merasa berdosa ga tuh sama leluhur? Wkwkwkwk

Cybersociety: Computer-Mediated Communication and Community
Steven Jones

They just keep on coming. What once was a mild flurry of books on the nature of virtual communities and cyberspace has now become almost a whirlwind. These books run the gamut of sensibilities, from the potentialities of on-line communities (Herz, 1995; Rheingold, 1993) to the perils of virtual life (Slouka, 1995; Stoll, 1995; Talbott, 1995). Some adopt a more theoretical and nuanced look at the intricacies of virtual systems and the socio-psychological implications thereof (Stone, 1995; Turkle, 1995) or at the confluence of virtual systems design with the urban environment (Mitchell, 1995). Most of these books, however, are written for a cross-over audience: the academic and the general reader.

A recent book from this oeuvre, yet catering to the undergraduate-to-graduate school audience, which will undoubtedly stake a claim as one of the more definitive collections, is Steve Jones's edited compilation entitled Cybersociety. This collection brings together eight articles from an international cast of academics, who discuss aspects of community and computer-mediated communication (CMC) in various virtual systems, including Usenet, MUDs (text-based virtual reality systems called multi-user dimensions), IRC (Internet Relay Chat), software, and computer games such as Nintendo.

Jones dubs the new and emergent social formations brought about by CMC "cybersociety." This is akin to Linda Harasim's (1993) definition of "networlds" as encompassing a social dimension, which she subdivides into three distinct yet often overlapping networlds: social networlds, networkplaces, and educational networlds. Social networlds consist of forums for informal conversation, such as newsgroups available on Usenet; conferences available through private systems, such as WELL, Prodigy, AOL, and CompuServe; as well as Internet services including IRC and MUDS. Networkplaces--inhabited by corporate, industrial, academic, and entrepreneurial workers--are networlds designed to facilitate and promote work-related activities at the office itself, or through telecommuting. Educational networlds include colleges and universities, K-12 schools, distance education projects, and community-based projects. Harasim further distinguishes networlds by their temporal-spatial qualities: they are place-independent ("anyplace communication"); asynchronous ("anytime communication"); allow for greater group interactivity; and are predominantly text-based.

In Jones' introductory chapter, he attempts to lay out the framework for a theoretical grounding of how to study cybercommunities. This is a difficult endeavour, for many reasons. First, because there are so many different types of cybercommunities, no pat description of virtual communities will suffice. Second, the notion of virtual communities is still in an evanescent and neoteric stage, so a level of flexibility and open-mindedness is needed. These caveats tend to go against the grain of certain forms of academic inquiry which would like to put everything neatly into a tidy, beribboned box. Nevertheless, there are several consistent strands of enquiry that many of the contributors take up which are worth more than a glance: namely, the notion of identity, issues concerning access, how virtual communities are shaped by system design, the development of community norms on various systems, and how computer software and simulated experiences aim to organize cultural experience.

The promises of cybercommunities are many. Some feel that the "Digital Nation" will link people together, not only cybernetically, but also for the benefit of the individuals acting within their real-life neighbourhoods. Heralded as a major social revolution, technological pundits claim that connecting via computer will be as ubiquitous as connecting through the telephone, using electricity, and brushing our teeth before bedtime. Computer networking, so the determinists claim, will lead to more "democratic" communication, since contextual cues such as gender, voice, age, class, and race are usually hidden through the plain ASCII interface of most text-based systems.

However, the perils of cybercommunities have also become the focus of recent media and policy attention. There are the hysterical embellishments concerning raunchy and offensive content on the net which our youth could be subjected to with a mere mouse-click: Sex! Pornography! Perfidious pedophiles! Unfortunately, these unfounded fears have recently become a reality in the United States, with the passage of the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 and its contained provision, the Communications Decency Act. Sceptics of virtual communities also fear that too much attention paid to virtual experiences will come at the expense of our real lives and locales. Virtual communities, then, will only create pseudo-communities, where commitment can be as easy as logging out. As many of the contributors note, access to computer networks is now confined to a rather homogeneous elite: if you're white, male, college-educated, and technologically literate, your chances of being on-line are better than most.

Usenet, the "user's network," or the "poor man's Arpanet," is a worldwide distributed bulletin board system supported mainly by Unix machines, and this is the virtual system that the majority of the Cybersociety contributors analyze. Usenet is widely available on academic and commercial sites, and consists of thousands of "newsgroups" organized around a multifarious array of topics which are grouped into "hierarchies" where users post and reply to "articles" or postings.

McLaughlin, Osborne, & Smith design a "Taxonomy of Reproachable Conduct on Usenet" as a preliminary approach to the questions of Usenet standards. Conduct ranged from incorrect /novice use of technology, bandwidth waste, violation of networkwide and newsgroup specific conventions, ethical violations, inappropriate language, and factual errors. "The rules of conduct on Usenet as currently constituted can be understood as a complex set of guidelines driven by economic, cultural, social-psychological, and discursive factors both within and outside the network" (p. 107). MacKinnon applies a Hobbesian perspective and analyzes Usenet in order to scour for signs of what he calls the "Leviathan" in computer-conferencing networks: "the institution of censorship or moderation of the messages written by the network's users" (p. 112). Baym was a participant-analyst in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv.soaps (r.a.t.s.), and uses her experiences to articulate a framework in which to ascertain how communities are created through CMC. This structure consists of the overlapping nuances between external contexts (what draws people to participate in a particular forum); temporal structure (where and when people access the forums); system infrastructure (how Usenet is designed, with its multithreaded posts); group purposes (what is the purpose of the forum); and participant characteristics (demographic features such as gender, age, class, etc.). Aycock & Buchignani examine the Usenet discourse (principally sci.research.careers) surrounding the Valery Fabrikant affair, and are concerned with how to use Usenet discourse as ethnography. Fabrikant was the Concordia University professor who murdered four of his colleagues in 1992. Part of his diatribe was carried out in the very public space of various Usenet newsgroups and through flooding the personal e-mail boxes of academics and administrators throughout Montreal universities. In fact, his spate of multiscreened messages was so voluminous that it crashed the McGill University computer network, which acted as the network hub for all the academic networks in Quebec, several times.

Although Usenet newsgroups are in the public realm, and the authors do not reprint or attribute authorship to the posts that they quote, the issue of how to conduct ethical social science research on Internet communities, and the myriad social dynamics of groups and diverse on-line forums is a salient issue. What could be some of the proposed ethical guidelines as to how human subjects' guidelines should be framed in an era where the potential for studying ubiquitous networked communities is so readily at hand, yet subject to much abuse and misguided motivations? (See The Information Society, 1996).

Elizabeth Reid offers an adroit analysis of how participants in MUDs negotiate and create given and newly invented social cues which their virtual characters portray. In the absence of visual effects, "MUD players share both a stage and an understanding of the rules and ways of breaking rules that allow them to speak meaningful lines. They are able to read each other in far more than a textual fashion. With the inventiveness and lateral thinking has come a set of tools and symbols enabling MUDs to become a social environment within which MUD users experience human dramas as strongly as they might in actuality" (pp. 172-173).

Friedman explores the participatory nature of computer games, a field which has been woefully neglected by academics. Simulation, interactivity through cinema and textual metaphors, and cognitive role-playing are just a few of the devices game developers and players assume. Fuller & Jenkins investigate the interactive games systems of Nintendo as a cultural artifact, revealing New World voyage narratives permeating the travels and foibles of video characters like Super Mario. And, finally, Kramarae offers a trenchant criticism of some of the gendered metaphors and origins used to describe the information infrastructure, such as cyberspace, information superhighway, and the electronic frontier. She argues that unless young girls and women are ensured access to the evolving networks, society will become increasingly polarized, and that the humanization of cybercommunities will not happen unless women are actively involved in their design, development, and diffusion.

From the structured nuances of Cybersociety, we come to the fractured, recalcitrant, and meandering prose of Arthur Kroker & Michael Weinstein. In the last few years, the Krokers (Arthur and Marilouise) have become cyber-darlings on the virtual and real-life lecture circuit. This winter season alone has witnessed several magazine portraits of them, in diverse sources such as Wired, Saturday Night, and 21c. Heralded as the pre-millennium McLuhans, or "McClones" (Kingwell, 1996), psychic heirs to Innis, and the nightmare of Grant, the Krokers have come to epitomize Canadian thinking on cyberculture.

Data Trash was composed by Arthur (although the spirit of Marilouise must be there) & Weinstein through Internet exchanges, and reads like a haphazard collection of late-night perambulations along crusty modem lines. It is best read with a couple of double-cappuccinos under the belt, with the stereo and television blaring:

We are data trash. And it's good. Data trash crawls out of the burned-out wreckage of the body splattered on the information superhighway, and begins the hard task of putting the pieces of the (electronic) body back together again....Data trash loves living at the violent edge where total human body scanning meets an inner mind that says no, and means it. When surf 's up on the Net, data trash puts on its electronic body and goes for a spin on the cyber-grid. (p. 158)

The basic thesis of Data Trash is sane: in our current "cyber-authoritarianism" and "pro-technotopia movement," buttressed by hyperbolic claims as to the knowledge-creating, capitalist-creating, and job-creating promises of the information infrastructure, any voices that are critically examining the rhetoric and claims of technological pundits and governments will be silenced--"wired shut." This new Virtual Class, epitomized (but not named) by Neo-Con Techno-Boosters such as Newt ("give every ghetto kid a laptop") Gingrich, Alvin & Heidi Toffler (1995), and the Progress and Freedom Foundation (1994) in the U.S., and Ted Rogers, Stentor, and John Manley in Canada, has reached its apotheosis through recent proposed guidelines as to the deregulation and competitive nature of our telecommunications industry (see Canada [1995] and CRTC [1995] for Canadian proposals; United States Congress, Telecommunications Act of 1996).

Kroker & Weinstein map out the trajectory of (dis)informediation tactics taken by the Virtual Class, including using the metaphor of the information superhighway as a deterministic ploy to make people think that it's "on-line or die," and pushing the illusion of interactivity and consumer choice, all at the expense of personal privacy. What is frustrating, though, is that within Data Trash, Kroker & Weinstein's claims as to the covert agendas of technophiles and the hidden agenda of the information economy are not backed up with enough actual references or citations. I have heard Kroker in person, and much prefer him in his performative sense. His prose takes on a hypnotic quality of its own, like a latter-day rap poet extolling the complexities of our digital angst.
