Petrology Field Trip : Ouuw yeaah...

Hmmm..
Long time no post..
Hahaha...

Okay, let me tell you a little about Petrology Field Trip which has been done by Geophysics 2007 last Saturday. You know, it's not a geophysics, geology, or other geosciences if we didn't go outdoor for a field trip : observing the stones, geological phenomenons, or something related to it. In this field trip, we observed about igneous rocks. Igneous rock is one of three rock types (besides sedimentary and metamorphic rocks) which is formed by cooling magma caused by volcanic activity. We had to recognize and describe the rocks and then tried to depict its origin and genesis. There were three locations of observation which were far separated from each other. The first location was in Tajem, where a temple which had not been finished to build was here, but the point was that there were pyroclastic rocks here caused by Merapi eruption in thousand years before. Then we continued our trip to Berbah, Sleman and we got a unique rocks that were called Pillow Lava caused by contact between cooling magma and water, and it happened in Mid Oceanic Ridge. So we could conclude that this place was an ocean in thousand years before. It amazed me... Next destination was Godean which is located very very very far from the first and second location. We had to ride motorcycle along East Ringroad to West Ringroad. Owh, that made me so weary... We got intrusion rocks here and some of them had been weathered. So, this is the end of our field trip...

Hufff....

Very hard weeks...
Have spent much energy...
Full of emotions...
Stressful...

Huff...

Happy Ending OPMG 2008 : Totally Geophysicist...

Okay, after break for a quite long time, it's time to talk about STMJ as known as OPMG 2008. OPMG (Orientasi Pengenalan Medan Geofisika) is an introduction of all about Geophysics which is compulsory for new students every year. OPMG has 4 days, consists of 2 days for class session and 2 days for field session. This year, the field session was held in Kali Tengah, Cangkringan where we can do tracking, out bond, and camp for a night. OPMG is not only an orientation for new students but also become a kind of event which can tighten relationship between the junior and senior students as well as the graduates and some lectures of Geophysics.

As a part of this commitee, I was really tired but excited in organizing OPMG. And now I feel very happy because this tiring event has just been finished. Yeah, after we did a very long time process with many meetings, surveys, under pressure working which all spent a lot of our time, think, and energy just for OPMG 2008. As a result, it was successful and many people were quite satisfied with this event although there were still many lacks. At least we (the class of 2007) can prove that we are not like what some people think, but we actually have a good team work and strong unity in our class... (don't we?)

Mitoni

What is it? Yeah, mostly Javanese know what the meaning of mitoni is. It is a Java tradition which is kind of celebration/ceremony or something like that to thank God for 7 months pregnancy of a woman. This tradition has been done in my family yesterday. My sister in law has been being pregnant for 7 months and the family planned to thank God and share happiness with other people through this tradition. As a Java tradition which is full of symbols of life, mitoni has many ceremonies like sungkeman, siraman, milih ageman, dodol rujak/dawet, and etc that must be completely done which are symbols to expect something good in future, especially for the baby and parent. Ough, 2 months later I am going to be an aunt for my brother's baby. So that means I will be calles 'tante', and... do you think that I will look older because of it? I wish no... But I am actually really pleasant about it! I will enjoy taking care of the baby and have fun with him...

The Great Day Celebration

sungkeman

the grand children...

The first Lebaran day, the most important thing that must to do after sholat Ied is sungkeman. It means that we have to ask apology to our parent and grand parent. After that, we have to ask apology to each other especially to big family like brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. In my family, this tradition is always done in my grandma's house where all of my big family came to gather and celebrate Lebaran. This year, they were not complete because some of them didn't come to Jogja with some reasons. But our Lebaran was still exciting like the years before with different situation of each person, new looks, and of course with delicious food and cakes (^^). I really love to gather with my family like this memorable sweet moment...

Happy Lebaran Day 1429 H !

I am as the owner of this blog want to say Happy Lebaran Day 1429 H!
From bottom of my heart, I would like to ask an apology. So please forgive me for all my mistakes...
May Allah gives us a soul free from sins and life that full of love, peace, and happiness..

Memories

by Annabelle

Within my book of memories,
Are special thoughts of you.
And all the many nice things
You often say and do -

As I turn the pages,
And recall each single thought,
I realize the happiness
That knowing you has brought.

There are memories of the times we've shared
Both bright and sunny days.
There are memories of your kindness
And your friendly thoughtful ways.

There are memories of all those notes,
we would write back and forth,
When we would just get together,
And talk of this or that.

And when I recall these memories
As I go along life's way,
I find they grow more precious still
With every passing day.
