January 9th, 2010, I got text from my long lost pal at 11 p.m. I was very happy that finally I found her,,, no, she came to me actually. At first, she texted me to know my news, and I said I’m fine. And vice versa, I asked her what’s up? Then she told me that she’s fine yet not that fine. After short of reminiscing, she told me that she wants to tell me something important. About why did she gone and never gave me any news about her. I thought it was not that important, until she explains to me and I got three shocking things.
First, she told me, on January 10th, 2010, she was going to marry with someone. She planned this since two months ago on November 2009. And she had prepared all the marriage properties, like wedding clothes, wedding rings, etc. I was happy to hear that news until she texted me that the man she’d marry with is DIED… What the…!! I tried to calm her down, so that she can continue her story. So… she knew the guy about a year ago. He was older than her about six years difference. He’s a nice and good guy. But, He has one lack, Lung Cancer. But, my pal doesn’t care about his lack, and she still wants to marry with him. After several months passed, the dude showed that his Lung cancer is getting worse, and he was hospitalized for about three times. Until December 23rd, 2009, the dude passed away. (I’m so sorry for my pal). She was very depressed by the dude’s death. She told me, she still can see her dude’s face, voice, angry, smile, and even his cry when he feels the pain of the cancer. She just can’t forget all those things off.
After giving some advices and tell her not to gave up hope, we have pretty long conversations. She told me, she no longer have a price. I wonder what it means. Then she began to explain her story again. She said, she’s not VIRGIN anymore! This is the second times she shocked me. I was very angry. Very angry to her foolishness, why it could happen to her?! She said it happened a year ago, when she was in campus. At that time, she was making an appointment with her friends that they would do their assignment together. She came to campus in the morning, about 7 a.m. when she was there, she found that nobody come yet. So, she decided to go to the mosque to wait her friends to come. When she got there, she met with her senior. Then they have a little conversation. Along the conversations, her senior acted strangely, and my pal was freaking out by that. When she finally decided to go away, her senior pull her up, laid her down to the floor, and that BASTARD GUY finally got her virginity.
Me: “why don’t you scream as loud as possible, or kick his dick?!”
My Pal: “I’ve got no power and my mouth was locked up, and yeah, I’m stupid girl. After he got me, I just ran away as far as I can and I cry along the way.”
Me: “Have you reported this to the police?”
My pal: “I have no guts to tell anyone. Even my family didn’t know this happened to me. Only him, my dude, and you.”
Me: “pfftt…”
My Pal: “sorry, I know you’re disappointed and it disgust you. I’m really sorry.”
Me: “just get over it…”
Hell yea, we have another long conversation. I asked her again “How’s your class? Is it fine?” and she replied “hmm… I’m no longer taking the class anymore. I dropped out”. WHAT THE FUCK??!!! This is the third she shocked me again. She tried to explain (again). It happened six months ago, when she’s entering 5th semester of her class. So, the problem why she dropped out is because she couldn’t pay the tuition’s fee. She’s taking class because she got a scholarship. When the tuitions payment came, the scholarship funds didn’t come yet. And her parents didn’t have any money to pay the tuitions.
Me: “Why don’t you propose for dispensation to your university head’s office?”
My Pal: “I have. I’ve done anything to save my study. But I failed. My lecturer who used to help me to pay the tuitions was going to
Me: “so, what are you doing now? I mean, after you dropped out.”
My Pal: “I’m taking sewing course right now. And on January 18th later, I’m going to work in Garment Factory.”
Me: “And where do you live now? Do you live with your granny again?”
My Pal: “Yeah, my granny and my sister. Hey, when will you come home? I’ll tell you all these things if you’re here.”
Me: “I don’t know. I’ll tell you once I get home. Oh yeah, why don’t you come to my home? My Sister is pregnant and will celebrate her 7 months of her pregnancy on January 15th. You can help her prepare all the stuff.”
My Pal: “Ok… I will be there. Thanks for everything, Chal.”
Me: “It’s OK. Come to me anytime if you have any problem or if you want to tell me something. And don’t give up hope, keep your pray, endeavor, and be patient.”
My Pal: “Thanks.”

The team includes Alexander Wolszczan, the discoverer of the first planets ever found outside our solar system, who is an Evan Pugh Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics and the director of the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds at Penn State; and Andrzej Niedzielski, who leads his collaborators in Poland. The team suspects that a second planet may be orbiting HD 102272, as well.
The findings, which will be published in a future issue of The Astrophysical Journal, shed light on the ways in which aging stars can influence nearby planets.
Scientists already know that stars expand as they age and that they eventually may gobble up adjacent planets. In fact, scientists expect our own planet to be swallowed up by the Sun in about a billion years. But what scientists don't yet understand fully is how aging stars influence nearby planets before they are destroyed. The team's newly discovered planet is interesting because it is located closer to a red-giant star than any other known planet.
"When red-giant stars expand, they tend to eat up the nearby planets," said Wolszczan. "Although the planet we discovered conceivably could be closer to the star without being harmed by it, there appears to be a zone of avoidance around such stars. Our discovery pushes it back to about 0.6 astronomical units, which is the size of the new planet's orbit. It is important to find out why planets don't want to get any closer to stars, so one of our next steps is to try to figure out why this zone of avoidance exists and whether it occurs around all red-giant stars."
The team used the Hobby-Eberly Telescope of McDonald Observatory in south-western Texas to make its discovery. Through the telescope, which is equipped with a precise spectrograph, the scientists observed a pattern of alternating shifts of spectral lines in the light coming from the star, which is located 1,200 light-years from the Earth in the constellation Leo. These tiny, alternating shifts represent the fingerprint of a star that is moving alternately toward and away from Earth as it wobbles in space responding to the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.
Because of the Doppler effect, the light from the star becomes bluer as it moves toward the Earth and then redder as it recedes from it, which is reflected by the measured shifts of the spectral lines. The specific pattern of these shifts, which the research team observed, allowed the scientists to determine that one planet -- and possibly two planets -- orbit the star. If the second planet exists, the system would become the first multiplanet system discovered around a red-giant star.
Wolszczan said that he is particularly interested in applying to our own solar system the knowledge he gains about the effects of aging stars on planets orbiting other stars. "Our own Sun one day will become a red giant and it is interesting to think about what will happen to the outer planets of our solar system as the Sun expands," he said. "For example, Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, is covered by ice, but if it were to exist closer to the Sun, it might become a warm ocean world that could possibly support life."
In 1992, Wolszczan became the first person to discover planets outside our solar system when he used the 1,000-foot Arecibo radiotelescope to detect three planets orbiting a rapidly spinning neutron star. The discovery opened the door to the current intense era of planet hunting by suggesting that planet formation could be quite common throughout the universe and that planets can form around different types of stellar objects.
The researchers received support from the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the NASA Astrobiology Program, the Foundation for Polish Science, and the Polish Academy of Sciences.

PEMILU oh PEMILU . . . ! ! !
Thursday, April 24th 2008
Pemilu . . . ? Apa sih Pemilu? (blaga’ bego). Sebagian orang sangat menanti-nanti kehadiran Pemilu. Menurut gue, knapa juga pemilu harus ditunggu. Kadang-kadang gue suka mikir (bukan kebiasaan yang biasa), berapa biaya yang harus dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah untuk membeli miliyaran kertas kalo cuman untuk di lubangin, truz di kumpulin, dan akhirnya disobek-sobek seperti kata Tukul ‘Tak Sobek-Sobek’. Benar-benar kegiatan yang sangat bodoh dan tidak berguna. Tapi gue juga salut ama yang ngitung kertas suara. Dimana dia harus merelakan mata dan mulutnya untuk menghitung miliyaran kertas yang telah dilubangi itu. Kasihan banget gak tuh, bisa-bisa ato malah pasti pas abys pemilu orang yang ngitung kertas suara jadi buta dan bisu. Gimana enggak. Secara mulut dan matanya terus-terusan bacain kertas suara yang masuk (gempor gempor lw...).
Bicara tentang pemilu dan hitung menghitung kertas suara yang gak penting itu, gue pernah ngalamin kejadian yang sangat, sangat bikin hidup gue kacau. Atau malahan itu jadi hal yang paling buruk selama gue hidup. Hihihiiiihihhi (suara ibliz). Begini ceritanya (dengan gaya bicara kaya film “MISTERI” di AnTV).
Tepatnya pas gue masuk awal semester dua. Kalo gak salah pas bulan Februari and Maret. Waktu itu pemilunya ada 2 sesi. Yang satu pemilu bwat milih calon legislatif universitas dan yang satu lagi bwat milih presiden BEM (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa). Kebetulan pas waktu itu gue jadi panitia pemilu alias KPU-KPU malam (kepong-kepong malem kalee...). Waktu itu gue sebenarnya gak mau jadi panitia, tapi karena gue orangnya baek, rajin, suka menabung, suka menolong orang, dan karena gak ada kerjaan aja c. Awalnya, pas pemilihan CalLeg c biasa-biasa aja. Cuz gue cuman jadi orang biasa yang menjabat jadi anggota KPU Fisipol yang kerjanya cuman nyeburin jari-jari kotor para mahasiswa ke dalam lautan tinta. Suatu pekerjaan yang sangat gak penting dan menyedihkan (T-T). Pas pemilihan bwat CalLeg selesai, sorenya kita disuruh kumpul bwat pertanggung jawaban. Sore itu gue gak brangkat, dan gue pikir knapa gue harus bertanggung jawab? Emang gue udah meng-hamil-i siapa? Apa jangan-jangan gue yang hamil? Akhirnya yang dateng sore itu 4 temen gue Ryanda, Wawan, Yopi, and Jejen ato biasa di panggil JenCut. Di malam pertanggung jawaban itu, gue denger (cuz gue g brangkat, takut di tuduh hamil) 4 manusia tak berdosa itu berperang melawan para manusia-manusia jahat Fisipol. (katanya) si Ryanda and Wawan ketakutan setengah pingsan dengan mulut berbusa karena penyakit rabies kambuhan mereka ngadepin muka-muka preman anak-anak Fisipol dan para simpatisan lainnya. Dan si Jejen sampe-sampe gemeteran karena salah nulis dan di sorakin sama anak-anak bejat Fisipol. Kalo Yopi mah gue gak peduli. Mo rabies, mo epilepsi, mo gila, mo mampus, mo gantung di pu’un toge, gue tetep gak peduli. Bwat gue Yopi adalah Useless Person yang paling nyebelin sedunia. Malam itu, nyawa mereka bener-bener harus dobel. Cuz salah ngitung suara ‘1’ aja, mereka bisa-bisa dibunuh, digantung, dimutilasi, dimakan, dibakar, ato yang lebih parah lagi . . . di HAMILI (ekstrim). . . kya kya kya kya...tidaaaakkkk. jangan renggut kesucian mereka. Masa depan mereka masih panjang. Tapi, syukur mereka selamat dari musibah yang menimpa mereka.
Hari-hari di Jakarta
Day x, x date xx month 2008
Jakarta oh jakarta. Macet, panas, banjir, sampah, de el el, telah menjadi ciri khas kota metropolitan itu dan yang katanya akan menjadi kota megapolitan.
Kenapa gue kasih tanggal x x x x . . . ? yah karena . . . . . gue lupa tanggal kejadiannya ajah . . . LOL xDD *nods*
Pokoknya pas bulan juni – juli gue di Jakarta. Gue ke Jakarta pas liburan gila selama 3 bulan. Karena gue juga gak ikutan SP (semester Puendekkk) sih. Gue ke sana numpang di rumah sepaha (sepupu) gue. By the way on the way water way, taw gak gue ngapain aja di sono??? Yuph betul sekali . . . I’m doin’ nothin’ a. k. a. gak ngapa ngapain. Cuman dirumah ngeremin telor, sambil nonton TV and . . . ya begitulah. G ada kerjaan sama sekali.
Suatu saat, pas abis makan siang. Mikir (sok mikir, padahal kosong) mo ngapain nich enaknya . . . ? setelah kelamaan mikir dan gak dapet-dapet ide, gue mutusin untuk NYUCI PIRING. Suatu pekerjaan yang paling gue benci (dan gak penting juga). Itung-itung bantuin tuan rumah lah. Pas gue maw nyuci tuh dishes, eh sepupu gue (yang bias ague panggil ‘cumirah’ – panggilan yang aneh . . . !?) malah mencak-mencak nabokin and ngehajar gue habis-habisan (ya gak lah!!!).
Cumi : “Heh!!! Ngapain lw?”
Gue : “Maw boker. YA GAK LAH!!! Maw nyuci piring. Mang knapa?”
Cumi : “gak usah nyuci piring segala. Biar ntar gue yang nyuci. Lw tuh tamu disini, jadi gak seharusnya lw nyuci-nyuci.”
Gue : “Lah . . . ntar yang nyuciin baju and segala daleman gue siapa dong kalo gak boleh nyuci-nyuci?” (B’laga bego)
Cumi : “Ya itu lw cuci sendiri lah!!!”
Gue : “Katanya gak boleh nyuci-nyuci?”
Cumi : “Bego lw . . .”
Gue : “ . . .”
Ahahahaha . . . gue berhasil ngerjain sepupu gue. Saat itu, gue brasa jadi raja or pangeran gitu deh. Pokoknya serba nyaman. TAPI . . . kemalangan pun menimpa gue. Sebenernya sih bukan kemalangan, tapi . . . apa yach? Lw pikir aja sendiri deh. Sore pun tiba dan tante gue (Nyokap Cumi) pun pulang kerja, gue langsung bisa ngrasain rasa capek luar biasa yang di alaminya. Dan segera, gue menyapa tante gue dan ngajakin dia ngobrol basa-basi dan sebagainya (bukan kebiasaan gue banget). Setelah lama ngobrol, kami pun selesai dan tante gue itu langsung pergi ke kamar dan langsung menuju ke dapur. Taw apa yang terjadi selanjutnya . . . ? Tante gue marah besar, gila!!! Gue gak taw kenapa rumus probabilitas itu ditemukan (gak nyambung . . . Lol XDD). Kenapa tante gue marah-marah. Dan setelah gue selidiki, ternyata eh ternyata, cucian (dishes) siang tadi belum di cuci ma sepupu gue . . . hal yang benar-benar di luar dugaan. Feeling yang gue rasain untuk nyuci piring telah membawa petaka ke semua sepupu gue. But the weird thing is, adek sepupu gue (Gojrot – nama aslinya Ajeng [nama2 aneh lain]) malah tenang2 aja dan sesegera dia menemui tante gue yang lagi ngomel berat. Taw nggak dia bilang apa? Dan apa yang bakal terjadi selanjutnya?
Gojrot : “Bu’, laper ne. Dari tadi siang blum makan. Minta duit bwat beli mie donk.”
Tante : “oh . . . nie (sambil ngluarin duit), beli mie rebus 6, beras 2 ltr, kopi ABC susu 3. Udah itu aja. Tuh, mas Ardhi-nya pengen jajan apa?”
Gue : “hah? Nggak ah te, lagi males jajan. Mending bwat beli yang laen aja bwat besok.” (sok ‘be wise’)
Tante : “Tuh, contoh mas Ardhi. Nggak kebanyakan jajan kek kamu!”
Gojrot : “Sekalian beli minuman ya.” (langsung menghilang seketika menuju warung)
Gue : “ . . . “
Dalam hati gue saat itu langsung menjerit tak tertahankan - “ARRRRGGGHHHHH . . .” bisa-bisanya tante gue langsung berhenti ngomel cuman gara2 dimintain duit bwat beli mie. Kalo nyokap gue kek dia, dari dulu kalo pas ngomel mending gue maintain duit. Ngomel selesai,guenya juga dapet duit. Muahahahaha..haaaaacchhhooo… (-oo-)
Bagi para calon Ibu, jangan pernah meniru tindakan tante gue yang agak gimanaaaaa gitu . . . sangat tidak baik.
