Rupiah and Export
Surprisingly, Rupiah and Export both have got stronger. As you may have known that since February 2009 Rupiah had been appreciated to currencies of ten major trading partner countries while unusually export just had increased as well. I believe this phenomenon will be worth a scrutiny. Who is gonna try?

Have no Idea
A friends of mine might be misunderstood. They think I am a bit either high profile or arrogant or any other unpleasant things. Yet they may thing as well that I am pretending in order to look cool or keren.
As you may know that most of the writings on this blog have been conducted in English so that they may think so. But, just believe me that the most reason I wrote this blog in English is a matter of practice. Since my coming to Japan, my English had been getting worse and weaker so I need the media to rebuild my English. So It's not because my prowess nor my great skill in English.

Alone Again Naturally
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat my self
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off ,
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough she' stood him up",
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again naturally,
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright, and gay,
Looking forward to but who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
in my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again naturally
It seems to me
that there are more heartbroken
in the world that can't be mended
left unattended
What do we do? what do we do?
Alone again naturally
Now looking back over the years
and whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
my mother, God rest her soul
couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
despite encouragement from me
no words were ever spoken
and when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
alone again naturally
alone again naturally

Sok Tau!
Agaknya judul di atas cukup tepat untuk menggambarkan kegusaran saya. Saya sering jumpai betapa orang sering merasa paling tahu tentang banyak hal padahal yang dia tahu hanya sedikit, itupun terbatas pada berita gossip.

Ekonomi Pasar dan Nasionalisme Ekonomi
oleh: Padang Wicaksono
Syahdan, 20 Januari 1949, Presiden Harry S. Truman berpidato di depan rakyat Amerika yang pada intinya mengakui kemerdekaan negara-negara bekas jajahan seraya menegaskan berakhirnya era kolonialisme dan imperialisme. Dia pun berujar: We must embark on a bold new program for making the benefits of our scientific advances and industrial progress available for the improvement and growth of underdeveloped areas. The old imperialism, exploitation for foreign profit, has no place in our plans (Truman, 1949)......

Daya Tahan Jepang dan Pelajaran yang Bisa Dipetik
Beberapa hari terakhir ini penulis sering merenung mengapa Tanah Air kita yang gemah ripah loh jinawi dan dikaruniai kekayaan alam yang tiada taranya ini terus terpuruk tak berkesudahan? Mengapa bumi pertiwi yang elok permai ini tidak mampu memberikan kemakmuran pada rakyatnya? Lama merenung hingga akhirnya sampailah pada kesimpulan bahwa jangan-jangan justru kenikmatan alam itulah yang telah membunuh daya juang dan mental baja bangsa ini.....

Korupsi, Gaya Hidup dan Daya Saing
oleh: Padang Wicaksono
Tumbangnya Presiden Soeharto di penghujung Mei 1998 seolah-olah menerbitkan harapan baru bagi bangsa Indonesia akan lahirnya sebuah tatanan masyarakat yang demokratis dan berakhirnya sebuah pemerintahan yang korup. Separo dari cita-cita bangsa Indonesia itu, pada tingkat tertentu, terutama demokrasi, sudah terkabulkan. Namun, tidak demikian halnya dengan harapan akan hilangnya korupsi. .......
