How are you today? Everything is good?
Of course, I hope you always in good and healthy condition.
Happy 19th birthday Dekaria Alamanda on December, 10th 2012. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you any surprises at that time. I also felt sorry because I wasn't the first person who said happy birthday to you. But honestly, I really remembered, that day was your birthday.
I wish in your 19th age, you will be maturer and more well organized. Moreover, I also pray that whatever you want or you wish will be granted by Allah. Then, I hope you succeed in your life and hope Allah always blessed you.
I'm sorry for the late of giving you a gift and I felt sorry too if the gift wasn't appropriate as you wish.
I'm really happy could be your sister. Since the first time we met, I never think I'll be your sister. I really thanked to you, Deka, who has been my nice, great, and awesome sister. Hope after we graduated later and will never met frequently each other later, the gift will remind you that I have been your sister.
Farmasi
adalah ilmu yang mempelajari cara penyediaan bahan aktif menjadi bentuk
tertentu (meracik) hingga siap digunakan sebagai obat yang digunakan untuk
menjaga kondisi tubuh manusia agar tetap dalam kondisi optimal. Sediaan farmasi
dapat berupa obat, bahan obat, obat tradisional, kosmetika, vitamin, sabun,
shampoo, dan lain sebagainya.
Dalam
bidang farmasi, ilmu yang dipelajari berupa ilmu untuk membuat sediaan farmasi
yang baik (Farmasetika, Bioteknologi Farmasi, Teknologi Sediaan Padat, Analisis
Sediaan Farmasi, dll). Tidak sekedar itu, farmasi juga mempelajari ilmu yang
berkaitan dengan tubuh manusia baik anatomi, fisiologi, patofisiologi, dll
seperti ilmu biomedik, biologi sel dan molekuler, biokimia, patobiokimia, dll.
Beberapa ilmu lain yang dipelajari antara lain farmakologi, farmasi fisika,
mikrobiologi, dll.

Catatan:
Beberapa
informasi di atas saya dapatkan dari blog yang saya lupa linknya. Terkait dengan hal ini, link ini mungkin berguna karena menceritakan perjalanan saya ke perusahaan, pabrik, dan institusi-institusi di mana apoteker dapat bekerja. Bagi pembaca yang akan menghadapi ujian seleksi masuk PTN, tidak ada salahnya membaca tulisan saya mengenai hal tersebut di sini --> "Telitilah Dalam Mengerjakan Ujian Seleksi Masuk PTN". Tulisan tersebut adalah opini saya setelah saya sudah dua kali berpengalaman sebagai data controller untuk salah satu sistem seleksi masuk PTN. Semoga bermanfaat. Terima kasih sudah berkunjung :D
Musim
pancaroba atau musim peralihan dari musim penghujan ke musim kemarau dan sebaliknya,
merupakan suatu kondisi yang sangat baik bagi perkembangan virus dan bakteri
sehingga penyakit-penyakit seperti ISPA (Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Atas),
diare, flu, batuk, disentri, tifus, demam berdarah, dan hepatitis A dapat
menjangkit dengan mudah. Penyakit yang paling sering dan utama menjangkit masyarakat Indonesia pada
musim tersebut adalah flu dan batuk.
Namun
sayangnya, kebanyakan produk obat flu dan batuk yang beredar di Indonesia
kontradiktif dengan penyakit diabetes. Oleh sebab itu, kita sebagai seorang farmasis yang sudah terbiasa
bergelut dengan obat-obatan, sudah saatnya tidak hanya berusaha untuk membuat
suatu obat-obatan yang berguna untuk orang “normal” saja melainkan juga untuk
orang yang memiliki metabolisme yang tidak normal seperti penderita diabetes.
Kebanyakan
produk obat flu dan batuk yang beredar di Indonesia mengandung suatu zat yang
kontradiktif dengan penyakit diabetes, bernama PPA (Phenil Propanolamin) yang
sebenarnya bekerja sebagai pelega hidung. Sementara obat diabetes yang dikonsumsi
untuk menurunkan kadar gula darah penderita diabetes apabila berinteraksi
dengan pelega hidung tersebut bukannya menurunkan kadar gula darah, justru
menyebabkan kadar gula darah tersebut tetap terlalu tinggi sehingga menimbulkan
adanya suatu kontraindikasi. Gejala-gejala yang sudah dilaporkan sebagai akibat
dari adanya interaksi obat tersebut antara lain adalah haus dan lapar
berlebihan, pengeluaran urin bertambah, mengantuk, nanar (terasa pusing), dan
berat badan menurun.
Saya
percaya bahwa semua orang pasti pernah mengalami gangguaan flu dan batuk terutama
para penderita diabetes, saya juga mengerti bagaimana rasanya berada pada
kondisi yang tidak menyenangkan dan sangat mengganggu aktivitas tersebut.
Apabila sebagian orang yang “normal” dapat segera mengembalikan vitalitas
kesehatannya tersebut, tidak demikian dengan penderita diabetes yang mana kebanyakan
produk obat flu dan batuk yang beredar di Indonesia mengandung pelega hidung
yang kontradiktif tersebut, sehingga sulit sekali menemukan produk obat flu dan
batuk yang aman bagi mereka.
Seorang
farmasis yang akan membaktikan hidupnya guna kepentingan perikemanusiaan
terutama dalam bidang kesehatan tidak akan membiarkan ada orang yang kesulitan
dalam mendapatkan kebutuhan obat-obatannya terutama penderita diabetes. Oleh
karena itu, sudah waktunya bagi seorang farmasis untuk berusaha atau berinovasi
membuat obat-obatan terutama obat flu dan batuk yang aman dikonsumsi oleh
penderita diabetes.
“Kini
saatnya masyarakat membuat perubahan. Jangan berharap pada pemerintah, ...”
merupakan ungkapan kritis yang dikatakan oleh Dinna Wisnu, Direktur
Pascasarjana Bidang Diplomasi Universitas Paramadina di Jakarta, Jum’at (22/6)
terkait sistem politik Indonesia yang korup (www.republika.co.id) dan sekiranya
juga merupakan ungkapan yang dapat menampar kerumitan mudik yang tak
terpecahkan hingga saat ini.
Fenomena
mudik lebaran yang tak pernah terlewatkan setiap tahunnya dibalik
menyiratkankuatnya ikatan silaturahmi
masyarakat Indonesia dengan kerabatnya juga menyimpan banyak catatan kelam
alienasi kemanusiaan. Pemerintah seakan tutup telinga, tidak mau mendengar, dan
tutup mulut, tidak mau berbicara, mengenai besarnya angka korban kecelakaan khususnya
korban meninggal dunia selama masa mudik tiap tahunnya.
Pada
tahun 2006 di Indonesia, terdapat 437 korban meninggal dunia. Kemudian pada
tahun 2007 hingga tahun 2011 berturut-turut terdapat 798, 548, 598, 328, dan
661 korban meninggal dunia. Dan kini pada tahun 2012, jumlah kejadian
kecelakaan pada masa mudik Lebaran selama 10 hari hingga Selasa (21/8)
berdasarkan data dari Korps Lalu Lintas Polri adalah sebesar 3.291 yang 574 di
antaranya merupakan korban meninggal dunia.
Meskipun
angka korban meninggal dunia tersebut dari tahun ke tahun kadang mengalami
penurunan maupun kenaikan. Namun tetap saja angka tersebut tetap terlalu besar
bagi sebuah negara yang katanya berperikemanusiaan.
Pemerintah
tidak dapat memecahkan masalah kerumitan mudik di Indonesia 100% karena masalah
yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia tidak hanya itu. Pelebaran jalan maupun perbaikan
jalan dan sistem transportasi tidak akan benar-benar dapat memecahkan kerumitan
tersebut apabila masih terdapat banyaknya faktor human error.
Faktor
kelelahan maupun mengantuk saat berkendara yang menjadi faktor utama penyebab
kecelakaan dapat diatasi apabila masyarakat mau berubah untuk lebih peduli terhadap
keamanan dan keselamatan dirinya.
Berpikir
dua kali apabila ingin mengendarai kendaraan pribadi terutama yang beroda dua.
Memperhatikan kondisi kesehatan dan kebugaran tubuh dalam berkendara menjadi
sangat penting apabila tetap memutuskan untuk mengendari kendaraan pribadi.
Selain itu, diperlukan pula untuk melakukan banyak istirahat jika merasa lelah.
Jangan sampai niat baik berkunjung ke kampung halaman digantikan dengan kabar
duka akibat nyawa melayang.
Chandler
Haliburton (1796-1865) pernah mengatakan “Kebahagiaan dari setiap negara lebih
bergantung pada watak penduduknya dari pada bentuk pemerintahannya” sehingga
apabila masyarakat Indonesia mau melakukan perubahan, tidak hanya kerumitan
mudik saja yang terpecahkan bahkan masalah lainnya pun dapat dipecahkan.
My blog name is Nobody's perfect. Do you want to know why I created this? Because I want everybody knows that I am not perfect. And absolutely, I realize that not only me, but also all of you readers are not perfect. Do you agree with me?
Just like Jessie J's songs that titled "Nobody's Perfect"
When I'm nervous I have this thing, yeah, I talk too much
Sometimes I just can't shut the hell up
It's like I need to tell someone, anyone who'll listen
And that's where I seem to fuck up
Yeah, I forget about the consequences
For a minute there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment my mouth starts going
The words start flowing, oh
But I never meant to hurt you
I know it's time that I learned to
Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learned
I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think
That the trust we had is broken
Don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect, no
If I could turn back the hands of time
I swear I never would've crossed that line
I should of kept it between us
But, no, I went and told the whole word how I feel and oh
So I sit and realize
With these tears falling from my eyes
I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever
I promise that I'm gonna try
But I never meant to hurt you
I know it's time that I learned to
Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learned
I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think
That the trust we had is broken
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect
No, no, no, no, no, no, no nobody's perfect
I'm not a saint, no, not at all, but what I did it wasn't cool
But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, oh
I'm not a saint, no, not at all, but what I did, it wasn't cool
But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, yeah
It was a nice day, I went to Pusgiwa at 3 p.m. accompanied by my father and my lovely nephew. Actually, the committee asked the Research Camp (RC) members to stand by at Pusgiwa at 1 p.m. But, because of another activity that I have to do first, I couldn't go on time. If only I had done packing at the previous night, I could've gone there on time.
At pusgiwa, at KSM secretariat more precisely, All RC members were waiting for Bang Berly, the KSM founder. Not too long after my arrival, Bang Berly came and gave some messages, advices, and also assignments.
From pusgiwa to Bekasi we hired public transportation so we could achive Lampung by using Raja Basa bus. Lampung and Java is separated by Sunda strait so we also needed Fery Ship to across it.
It was Ramadhan, so we all were fasting although there were also from the girls who didn't because of the sensitive reason (I know, you know what I mean).
We broke the fasting at Bus terminal, I forget what time exactly we left the terminal but the thing that I still remember is, there was a problem before the departure. The bus won't to go because there were only 12 passengers lesser than the agreement.
At around 7 p.m. finally we left the terminal. We paid for 8 persons who canceled for the trip because of various reasons. In the bus, there were not only us, but also a family who joined the trip to Lampung together with us. We took the bus like the bus is our own bus, because there were a lot of empty seats.
Look at the empty seats!
Kak Ovi and I
At the middle of the trip, the air conditioner was in bad condition and made the trip uncomfortable. We were moved to other bus, and the driver paid us for the disadvantage.
We were moved to other bus because of the air conditioner problem
We were at the ship at around 3 a.m. It was so cold, I was regret didn't bring jacket because of my forgetfulness.
It was so cold!
I was praying Subuh in the bus, it was my first time, praying in the bus!
The location was still far from the Bakauheni port.
It's around 9 a.m. we took from the bus off. It wasn't a terminal, but a street we didn't know where the exactly we were. We were waiting for our friend that would pick us up and brought us to the location.
Took off from the bus
Waiting for friend to pick us up
After waiting for him to pick us up, we were brought to Bandar Negeri Semuong Sub-District Office by hiring public transportation. Actually, it was still far to reach the office.
The hired public transportation
In the public transportation
Arrived in the office, we were arranged to meet the stakeholders. We told our intention why we were going to visit them. The stakeholders received our visiting with open-handed, they accepted our arrival well, and had prepared for us the accommodations. We were going to place in one of family houses there.
My health team and politic team (social 2) were placed in Gunung Doh, social 1 team and science-tech team were placed in Sinar Bangun. Whereas, culture team was placed in Banding. Those villages are called "pekon". So we can say pekon Gunung Doh, pekon Sinar Bangun, and pekon Banding.
There were 3 houses where we lived temporarily. Only kak Bagus who lived in Pak Sobri house (the head of pekon Gunung Doh). While kak Ovi and Tika lived in pak Kepala Sekolah house. Kak Bagus, kak Ovi, and Tika were politic team, so they were separated but my team was not seperated because we lived in one house, it's bu Sriyana house (pak Sobri's sister).
Kak Desti and I in front of the house
Ratu and Nindy in the house
The first day in Gunung Doh, my team only stayed in the house for constructing the research proposal. Before we met the people for the interview, we went to Wonosobo market together with bu Sriyana to buy some souvenirs and also vegetables and fishes.
Bu Sriyana and Kak Desti bought some fishes
The next day in Gunung Doh, we began to interview the people. On that day, we only met 2 people, bu Mardiyah who had given birth her second child and a woman who was pregnant.
Our research is about "Jampersal" it stands for "Jaminan Persalinan" that is a government program to help Indonesian people in childbirth. The people who use the facilities will not be charged. The facilities that the people can use there are pregnant examination, childbirth, postpartum treatment included KB program treatment, and newborn treatment. So for the research data, we were looking for 5 different informant type, they were a woman who was pregnant, a woman who had given birth, posyandu cadre, bidan, and midwife "dukun beranak".
At first we had planned to research about malaria in Lampung. But, in fact, Lampung has not been endemic with malaria since 2006. So after this survey, we changed the research proposal and moved to Jampersal, the recommended problem by bidan.
The reason why malaria has not been endemic in Lampung since 2006 maybe because there are a lot of lemongrass plants, as we know that, it is mosquito repellant. Using mosquito net is also indicating that Lampung people has known about malaria disease prevention.
Back to Jampersal, our research title is "Analisis Kualitatif Pencapaian MDGs Melalui Pelaksanaan Program Jampersal di Desa Sinar Bangun, Gunung Doh, dan Banding Kecamatan Bandar Negeri Semuong Kabupaten Tanggamus, Lampung". So, our research needed 5 informants from each village.
My health team was consisted of kak Desti, Ratu, Nindy, and I. We were separated in searching data. Kak Desti and Ratu searched data from informants in Sinar Bangun, while Nindy and I searched data from informants in Banding.
It was so much fun. At first, I felt worried because it was my first time to research, and I don't know how to interview the people well. The first informant, Bu Mudariyah who lives in Gunung Doh, we felt that we had failed in interviewing her, because it was too brief (only 7 minutes) and rigid. To be honest, if the condition still like that, we were giving up because we were afraid of bad data that we had collected. But, as we went through the second chance in Banding, the interview was so fun, flowing easily, and getting so much information even more than we needed.

After being successful in interviewing the informants in Banding, Nindy and I intended to go to Indomaret since we still had more time left in Banding. To go to Indomaret we need to have a walk more than 500 meters. We refused ojek service because we didn't something unpleasant happened.

While searching data for the research, RC members, also did community service in Gunung Doh and Banding elementary school. We joined the class, making something fun, sharing happiness, and taking some photos.

At Gunung Doh, I also had my first experience washing the clothes on the bank of the river. It was so tiring, I thought my clothes were not really clean yet, hahaha, I was washing them in a hurry because the sunlight was so awful. But, overall, the experience was fun. Maybe, I will think twice to wash the clothes again on the river, hahaha :D

On the last day, we came back to Bandar Negeri Semuong Sub-District Office to present our temporary research report.
Science-tech presented their temporary research report
We were listening their report
Before going back to Jakarta, RC members took a chance to visit the beach. At the beach, we only took some pictures, hehe.

Finally we went back to Jakarta, for that moment, we took the ship when sunny days, so we could take some nice pictures.
On the ship
Going back to Jakarta didn't mean that our relationships with the people was over. We still keep contact while we are separated by Sunda strait. I still save sms from pak Sobri, the head of pekon Gunung Doh.
Pak Sobri's sms
Besides that, we still have a promise to send them our final research report. Now, our research report is still in progress. Hope we can finish it well :D
