It was back then when the world is till young. There was a land that seperated from the mainland. The land of the wild, free, and green. Its habitated with they whom called the Green people, the people of tree and woods. The Great Tree gave birth to their ancestor, now their children who bore Great Tree’s heritage. Live with the nature they are, harmony and give in each other they were. Both the green and the living.
Life was easy for the island to survive over the centuries. The habitants are always look to each other. The Woods give them foods, the Beast give them protection, the Ray give them light, the Green give them wisdom, the Roots give them shelter, for the Green people give them experience of life. Singing, dancing, laughing, for joyful life they have together. No need of fire in their life for the stars are friends for them, nor darkness nor blackness. O life of the Green People, it is so simple, yet they not know what is the meaning of complication.
It is when a daughter of Green people see a black cloud over the west horizon, when she is playing on top of the Great Tree with her white squirrel friend. Not like ordinary cold and breezy black cloud which invite overcast to their land, this dark is full of heat and burning. No lighning, instead the existence of tremendous of quiver. Something suddenly strike her heart, shiver she did for she didn’t know what being is moving her heart. For she know only the Beast could reach that far over the seas, and she know nor Beast nor people could produce such shiver. A shiver of terror.
She calls in alarms, for adult only laugh and smile for her story. Over generation they did life in peace, for they not ready to be alarmed. The daughter is try, cry, and pray for people to listen. for Green couldn’t hear what she said, Woods only silent, Ray ignore her, Roots dwell in deep sleep, and Beast too busy as winter is approaching. Tired, she is. So she withdrew to her neighbor, the Mountain, for they could assist her on hiding over their shadow. Only her white squirrel accompany her over the top of Mountain. Mountain and Woods are brother and sister, for Mountain is more silent than other. She sit, always look over the west sea, watching the black terror cloud cling closer over the island.
Days she awaits. Nor food nor water she had, for only silent and squirrel she had. Awaiting for her terror to become a fact. And it must be ended, for the Black Cloud arrived at her island. Hundred of Iron Whale has landed on her beach. Black smoke burns out over their nose, for their nose are like boar’s when looking at stary sky. Water becomes muddy, sky goes dark, poisonous rain comes from the heaven, toxic air plagued the land. From over the Mountain she awaits and sees, for her heart shiver like crazy. She did thinks her mind trick her, for she feels sorry that she thinks her heart pound hardly and produce earthquake to the Mountain. But relieves she had for she know that not her is the reason of the earthquake, and horror follows for she now know what is the cause.
Thousand hammered steps that comes from the Iron Whale mouth drove the Mountain to suffer the same shiver she had. Thousand simmering people marched upon the Woods. They’re called the Iron People. Story of the advanced people of western mainland has been heard over the centuries for they are a mighty and ferocious army with iron armor all over their bodies. A war addict nation. No flesh, no skin, no breath, only creak and oil they had. Marched like shimmering flood they are, for the Woods in panic to meet this terror. Wipe everything beneath their step, cuts of every tree they found, burn every bushes on encounter, the Great Tree is tremble beneath their iron armor.
The Woods give them blaze, the Beast give them ferocity, the Ray give them shadow, the Green give them ashes, the Roots give them inprisonment, for the Green people give them weep of terrifying. Shouting, crying, despair, for extinction are upon them. O the once free and green nation, now has perished over shimmering black and grey.
Over several winters fear strike her heart at first she experience it. Despair it has become when she know the end is coming. Sadness comes when alone she feel. Rage it is ended when she drove by vengeance. By spring, iron skycrapper tower and black breath factory has established above once she called home. Once blue sky now become grey ashes one. Water become red and purple, and the air are become heated. The once mentor of wisdom now become the fuel of productivity. The rest are hunted, be slave, or lowly entertainment for simple amusement. Green People fight the Beast over almost everything for they now has lost their relationship as free being. Even the once her loyal friend the innocent white squirrel has corrupted onto ferocious being. The once Great Tree of nature, Iron City of ambition its now become.
Yes she know that the Brother has been conquered by the Iron People, but not the sister. By her rage, the daughter of Green people enraged the sister and make her erupted. Ferocious lava flow over her mouth. The daughter stand between the sister and brother, upon a rock that stand tall to the heaven. Overseeing the rage of nature with wicked smile carved on her face when the lave make wild stream beneath her small feet.
Her rage wreak havoc for everything on its path. His home was vanished with flame, now she’ll return it by flame. The once high mighty armored nation now fall to their Iron Whale for their iron has become feed for her rage. The Black has replaced by the Red, and leaves the Brown as remains. The Iron People has set sailed to mainland, bring terror away with them. Peace is restored, people become free, and nature once again breathing. People thanked the Daughter for she has rescue them, Beast gathering around her, and Woods start grow beneath her rocks.
“From nowadays I’m the only decendant of Green People for all of you has lost your Free Nature. From nowadays, people and beast must live separated to ensure both life, for I will guide the people and my Sister will guide others. The Brother are once again rebirth and he is now become younger than us, for that we are responsible for his flowering. Woods will be rebuilt, for no longer they will be green yet brown. Water will be refilled, for no longer they will be clear yet colored. Ground will be restored, for no longer they will safe yet fruitfull. The Age of Green and free we will miss, the Age of Black and terror we will be warned, the Age of Brown and hope we will faced. We will be poles apart from now my fellow nature beings, for that I hope the history will be not rewrited.” The Daughter says.
After the speech, the Beast and Brown People-which now they’re called-cried for they will be never met each other and regretting what has come upon them. That day has become the last day that people talk to nature beings, for from that day they live different way of life. The Sister brought the beast beneath her shadow and protect them with her walls, for the Daughter rebuild the remains city of Iron People and told them to raise a wall so they can encounter danger from outside.
Until over centuries, the Brown People and the Beast has forgotten each other and live on different realm. The Brown people founded civilization when the Beast found evolution. Overtime, both of them lost their memories about the Daughter, the Sister and the Brother. Nonetheless, sometimes people still seeing a girl standing over a rock and do dancing when there is earthquake happening. The Daughter and the Sister must be overjoyed, dancing, and be merry knowing that the Brother recovered, that what old people that still remembered the history would said. And so, the Brown Age of that island has begin.
“Be careful when you fight the monster, lest you become one“
-Friedrich Nietzsche-
Not walk the ground eventhough touch the ground
Not smell the air eventhough breath same air
Not feel the heat eventhough under the same ray
Not make a sweat eventhough stand on sweat
Give all away eventhough live on neccessity
Cry for the crowd eventhough stand for alone
For they are
Visible Invisible
Once upon a time, there is a boy who live in the countryside. Weak, modest, young, and free the boy was. He live only with his grey horse in his house that help him to go around, instead family nor friends. Neighborhood he has, one which he always riding around with his grey horse. Never to spoke to anybody he is, only smile and took a little bow for everything. Be friendly he didn’t, but he would help any neighbor he had. Even the King of the country have heard about him, the boy of grey horse.
In one autumn morning, he again ride on his grey horse. Free, steady, and fast they go. Until they meet a Rancher around the neighborhood. The Rancher greet them, for he only smile and bow for the return. The Rancher commented his horse as the most lively creature on the neighbor, for it is a pity that the creature must live only inside the neighborhood instead becoming royal stead. The rancher are looking pale when he talks about the audition that royal palace had on the capital, which a Tyrant from far away land arrange for one condition of a truce. Without the truce, the Kingdom will fall and people would live in terror of tyranny. But riddle have been prepared by the Tyrant, which only the horse that could reach every corner of the kingdom within a day could win the contest. The boy only bow for hear the news, with a smile.
On the day of contest, all rancher and rider from all over the kingdom has come to the palace. Each of them show how their horse run accross the Kingdom, but each failed to reach all of the corner within a day. When the war are almost fall in front of the kingdom, the boy come out to show his trick. He come up to in front of all attending person. His horse followed behind. When the horn is blown, everyone curios for the boy only stand; bow; and smile to the tyrant. His horse, the proud grey horse, is follow him to the face of the crowd and bowed at the back of his master. Silentness is lurking within the crowd, for they curious what the boy had in his sleeve.
Suddenly, the boy grasp a blade which from the beginning tide up on his back. WIth lighning speed, he swing the blade and ended grey horse’s life. Blood are wildly thrown over that grey body, lurking to each feet that close enough to it. Instantly, horror; pity; sadness; confuse; and all that one’s mind could fit on are striking the crowd’s. Even the Tyrant tremble before his throne, for on his wildest thought he never think that the boy would dare to do such action. In short time, the news of the boy are heard accross the Kingdom. Even to every single corner of the smallest land.
“And now my horse has reach the entire kingdom, for her name and her story spread like a plague. And for that, the war has been avoided” The boy said when he bow and smile.
After the event, the Tyrant forced to leave the kingdom for he couldn’t bear the terror of the event. The Royal married their princess to the boy, and by doing so the boy had family once again. For over the years people still remember and parent told their child when a boys become their prince, even when he is a King in the future. The story about The Grey Horse Boy.
15.00. Sore ini sebuah tayangan di televisi lokal menayangkan bagaimana kehidupan anak Indonesia di negara Jepang. Jepang yang dahulu menjajah bangsa ini, kini menjadi salah satu “sahabat” terdekat anak-anak Indonesia. Di acara tesebut juga di sebutkan bahwa kita sudah menjalin persahabatan terebut selama 50 tahun. Ya, sudah 50 tahun bangsa kita dan bangsa mereka mencoba untuk berkembang bersama (Walaupun bangsa mereka sudah mulai memiliki masyarakat yang lebih terorganisir mulai dari abad ke-15). Tapi, acara tersebut juga menyadarkan pikiran mereka yang menontonnya. Kenapa? Itu pertanyaan pertama yang keluar di benak mereka. Kenapa mereka sangat maju? Kenapa kota-kota mereka sangat bersih? Kenapa lalu-lintas mereka teratur? Kenapa…?
Entah apa jawaban dari pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu, namun satu hal yang terlihat dari acara tersebut. Walaupun memiliki jiwa anak-anak yang sama (dengan umur yang sama) dan berada dalam situasi acara yang sama, anak-anak Jepang terlihat memiliki antusiasme’ yang lebih dalam setiap kegiatan yang ada dalam acara tersebut.
Apakah benar kita memiliki antusiasme yang kurang dibandingkan negara yang lain? Just another thinking, for the future…
And I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads, the names of blasphemy. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
The Revelation of St. John the Divine, Chapter 13: Verses 1 & 4
The story begins in Eisler Memorial Hospital in Dusseldorf, Germany during the 80s. Our main character is Dr. Kenzo Tenma, a Japanese highly accomplished brain surgeon. After a crisis of conscience that developed for his growing increasingly dissatisfied with the political bias of the hospital for treating patients, he chooses to save the life of a young instead of the city’s mayor that represents hospital’s political needs. For the consequences, not only he lose his position at the hospital and become the prime suspect of the mysterious homicide of hospital’s upper management but also resurrecting a future sociopaht from the verge if death. Johan Liebert, was the boy name. He and his twin sister, Anna Liebert, are a couple of orphan originated from Czech Republic. After 9 years as the story progresses, Tenma learns of the horrific origins of this monster, from the former East Germany’s attempt to use a secret orphanage called Kinderheim 511 (Where the twin come from) in order to create the “perfect soldiers” through “psychological reprogramming”, to the author of a children’s book which was used in a euginics experiment in Czech Republic. He also learns about the scope of the atrocities this “Monster” has committed, and he vows to fix the mistake he made when he saved Johan’s life 9 years ago. Beside the risk he must take to stop Johan’s goal, he must survive the obstacle from many sides with their different agendas. So, the race to the darkest spot of sociopath’s brain has begin.
Monster was published by Shogakukan in Big Comic Original between 1994 and 2001. It is reprinted in 18 volumes, with one summary volumes/title called Another Monster. It is very interesting where either the hero or villain in this title are both civilian with each lack of perfection, but the suspense and thrill of the story could made flesh creep. Did you ever though a brain surgical doctor could follow the trail and confront a sociopath killer like a professional detective? Or did you ever think that a boy could established an extrimist army by just a smile? It is unrealistic event I know, but it’ll make sense once you’ve followed the story of Monster. The cynical world, dark environment, events of hope and despair, the connection between each characters, the character’s development as the story progresses, and historical background that touch the sense of reality could develop a story about suicide to evolve into melancholy drama of life. And all thanks to the creativity of a man behind all of that: Urasawa Naoki.
Naoki Urasawa, born January 2, 1960 in Osaka, Japan is a Japanese mangaka artist. He graduated from Meisei University with a degree in economics. He made his professional manga debut with Return in 1981. Three of his series have been adapted into anime: Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl, Master Keaton, and Monster. He has received the Shogakukan Manga Award three times, the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize twice, and the Kodansha Manga Award once. As a storyteller, his most distinctive characteristics are his dense, multi-layered, interconnecting narratives, his mastery of suspense, clever homages to classic manga & anime and a frequent use of German characters and settings. Others brilliant title he wrote are 20th Century Boys, Happy!, Jigoro!, NASA, Dancing Policeman, Pineapple ARMY, Beta!!, and his recent project PLUTO.
All his writing which i’ve been read with almost enthusiastically (Master Keaton, Monster, 20th Century Boys, and the first volume of PLUTO) are engulf me with intellegent suspense and surprising storyline. All of his work are developed creatively and original, because I’ve never read story like his. World’s tyrant that created from childhood imagination? How it can be? But it is possible for Urasawa Naoki. For reader that loves Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy, you must read PLUTO. Naoki’s extraordinary work on PLUTO is successfully delivered live and dramatic version of Osamu Tezuka’s legendary work. We can see his success by his double achievment on Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, for his work on Monster and PLUTO. Named after Osamu Tezuka, the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize is a yearly comic book prize awarded to manga artists or their works that follow the Osamu Tezuka manga approach founded and sponsored by Asahi Shimbun. The prize has been awarded since 1997, in Tokyo, Japan and since then only Urasawa Naoki that achieve this award twice until today. For everyone, Osamu Tezuka is known as “The Father of Manga” because of his prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres. People recognize the same talent for Urasawa Naoki, because his works are opening a new perspective on many aspects of life.
Lately, i’ve been starting to playing RC (Remote Control) in my neighborhood. There are many kind of RC for example Aero RC, Rally RC, Boat RC, etc but what Im talking about is a drift RC. The influence comes when I encounter my friend and his HPI (one of china’s brand of drift RC). The way he makes his car drifting and dodge the street cone makes me curious about that toys. Yes, first thing I heard about RC is a type of electronical toys just like any other kid’s toys. But lately, I think my opinion has changed almost totally.
My first and only RC is a TT-01 drift type. Since its release in 2003, the TT-01 has become a very popular entry-level chassis, especially for drifting and rallying purposes. It’s released by a well-known-hobby-based company called Tamiya. We already know that Tamiya is one of a leading company in its market, but its not the reason when the first time I’ve got mine. It is because its cost that relatively cheaper rather than other brand of the same kind of product. The first TT-01 was released as a Ferrari Enzo in 2003.
The original version features a 27T 540 “silver-can” motor, open planetary differentials front and rear, and non-adjustable double wishbone suspension with dry friction shock absorbers.
Yep, that is mine. Pretty complicated right for a toys? Well, its just a toys because to get all components above we need to made a purse for cover the expense. The truth is, It is quite expensive to be called a toys. That is why, nowadays many people thinks that this stuff is one kind of an investment for the future. For others, it is one of a way to channelize one’s dream for doing automotive modification.
That is true, because nowadays RC is not only for speed track race and agile drift race but many competition has include modification contest. For this multi-competition based on multiple performance, Tamiya has released three types of TT-01. They’re :
The TT-01D (drift) version includes low friction, hard plastic “drift” tyres, ball bearings, adjustable suspension arms, oil-filled shock absorbers and a Sport Tuned 25T Mabuchi Motor. It also comes with body shells of typical real-life drift cars like the Mazda FD3S RX-7, Nissan Silvia S-15 and Toyota Supra, and the kits include LED lights.
The TT-01R (race) kit adds aluminum alloy drive shaft, adjustable rear toe-in and a 25T “GT tuned” motor. The race kit does not ship with a lexan body shell.
TT-01E is the standard TT-01 model upgraded with polycarbonate suspension uprights and fibreglass-reinforced nylon upper deck/chassis bracing and motor mount, thus improving both the structural rigidity and the toughness of the vehicle.
A TT-01 also has many hop-up options to customize its ride. Owners can change their gears, ball bearings, motors, shaft, ESC, radio gear,chasis,rims, and much more.
Community also play an important role in enjoying this kind of stuff. Hey, where is the fun for play alone right? WIth the community ( usually just few pal’s play along), you can compare how you build your RC and others. Me and my friends sometimes race in local championship (just for fun actually) and doing workshop for any starter (Iam a starter! haha). It is fun to play with others. Why can I said this community stuff is important, because this is where the point of investment is began. By this community, forum, or just addicted friend you could achieve benefits from your toys. They can act as 2nd hand buyer, link to buyer, or even just link of information. It is happen because, when you’re bored to play or had any important matter that need budget, you can simply sold your RC. It is not like any other toys that had limited user, RC could transfer handed several time withour reducing its value. Just like ordinary car right?
Its true if you say it is too complicated to use this “toys”, if you still categorized this stuff with toys. But you can said that if you only read this blog and not play it by yourself. For real, It is really entertaining to build your own car from just a scrap of plastic to a drift star on the track. No need to think real hard for the for anything because when you had it on your hand, it is not important how you working out for having one, but its how you drive your RC!
So join the Race, play safety, and have fun!
