Tips Untuk Para ABG

Di kala deadline sedang mengejar-ngejar, seorang teman membagikan link menarik: http://fuckyeahalays.tumblr.com/%20

Pertamanya Oma kira mirip dengan Nicetry, but it is actually very different. Website ini adalah sebuah website yang mengolok-olok atau menertawakan ke-alay-an para alay.

Apabila Anda belum tahu apa itu Alay, Alay adalah Anak Layangan, atau kalo menurut KasKus, Alay = ABG Katro, atau kalo menurut Oma, Alay adalah ABG Lebay.

Honestly, I was really surprised to look at this reality. Ngga nyangka aja kalo anak ABG sekarang berubah banget dari jaman dulu.

Mungkin karena dulu teknologi belum secanggih sekarang. Dulu juga belum ada yang namanya Facebook, Twitter atau YouTube.

Ternyata anak-anak sekarang berani-berani, not as in pemberani, tapi lebih ke NEKAD. Melihat foto-foto mereka yang vulgar, ngga heran ada kasus hilangnya anak-anak remaja, entah dibawa lari oleh para Oom-oom, atau melarikan diri bersama pangeran tampannya.

Foto dengan bibir yang dimanyunkan
Foto dengan tang-top warna putih
Foto dengan pose yang sok seksi.
Atau dengan pose yang benar-benar membahayakan seperti ini.

Dan bukan hanya remaja cewek yang banci tampil di Social networking sites, tapi juga para pria, dengan gaya-gaya yang ajaib pula
Dengan boxer yang sok cute
Atau dengan rambut bermodel aneh dan dicat warna aneh

Oma jadi bertanya-tanya, maksud mereka melakukan hal-hal ini apa ya?


Apakah mereka kekurangan media untuk berekspresi? Apakah mereka ingin numpang terkenal, pengen beken seperti artis-artis sinetron itu? Cari sensasi? Atau hanya ikut-ikutan?

Apapun alasannya, Oma rasa, fenomena Alay di Internet ini harus diberi perhatian khusus. Bukan, Oma tidak menyarankan PERMEN PAHIT untuk diterapkan, Oma sangat-sangat tidak setuju dengan peraturan aneh itu. Tapi, para ABG ini harus diberi nasehat, diberi tahu apa yang boleh dilakukan di Internet dan apa yang tidak boleh.
Siapa yang harus melakukan ini?

Orang tua, of course. Namun, kadang orang tua sering dianggap kuper, ketinggalan jaman atau kampungan oleh anak-anaknya. So, harapan kedua adalah para pendidik, alias guru-guru. Mengeluarkan anak dari sekolah karena menulis kata-kata kasar di Facebook, atau menulis complain tentang gurunya, kurang dianjurkan. Sebaiknya mereka ini harus diberi perhatian lebih, dituntun, dan diberitahu mana yang baik dan mana yang salah.

Maka dari itu, guru-gurunya juga harus gaul donk! Jangan mau kalah sama alay-alay ini :)

Kalau mau dapetin tips tentang bagaimana para pendidik harus bersikap terhadap murid-muridnya, atau kalau para orang tua mau tau cara mendidik ABG, ini, Oma kenal orang yang ahli di bidang ini. Namanya Ibu Sinta. Ibu Sinta ini is my wonderful mom. Beliau adalah kepala sekolah sekaligus konselor keluarga dan pendidikan. Monggo kalo mau dikontak atau diwawancara. Beliau sudah beberapa kali menangani kasus yang berhubungan dunia per-facebook-an di sekolah dimana beliau mengajar.

Dan untuk para alay, ini ada tips dari Mbak Nez yang menurut Oma sangat-sangat bagus. Buat yang punya anak yang masih ABG atau saudara atau kenalan, silahkan forward link ini: Tips untuk Adik-adik ABG yang Manis.

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee
