"The Story of Sadako Sasaki"

Sadako was at home when the explosion occurred, about one mile from Ground Zero, she was blown out of the window and her mother ran out to find a child , she suspected she may be dead but she found her two year old daughter alive. While running in practice for a big race, Sadako felt dizzy and decided to hide this as a secret. Many times she felt this sickness whilst running but still hid this. Soon the big day came up and Sadako ran fast as her legs could carry her as everyone suspecting she won. Whilst running to her parents wanting to spread the good news she tripped over and fainted. In November 1954, Sadako develop swellings on her neck and behind her ears. In January 1955, purple spots had formed on her legs. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with leukemia ( an atom bomb disease ). She was hospitalized on February 21, 1955, and given, at the most, a year to live.

Several year after the atomic bomb, an increase in leukemia was observed especially among children. By the early 1950s it was clear that the leukemia was caused by radiation exposure.

On August 3, 1955, sadako’s best friend Chizuko Hamamoto came to the hospital to visit, and cut a golden piece of paper into a square to fold it into a paper crane, in reference to the ancient Japanesse story that promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by the God. A popular version of the story is that Sadako felt short of her goal of folding 1.000 cranes, having folded only 644 before her death, and that her friends completed the 1.000 and burried them with all her.

I really like this story from the first for some reason, I’d been used this story for the task of speaking presentation class, since I was little I liked to make an origami cranes, but I'd never make it to thousands  :-)

"Silhouette"

A silhouette is the image of a person , an object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, its the edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is basically featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all. The silhouette differs from an outline which depicts the edge of an object in a linear form, while a silhouette appears as a solid shape. Silhouette images may be created in any visual artistic media.

one of my favorite picture is a silhouette image, see things from a different point of color, visible form, but sometimes we never know what is behind it all,,,

"A Day Wish"

"This is our cry. This is our prayer. This is our hope"

Dalam satu hari kita bisa mempunyai kesedihan yang sangat besar, dalam satu hari kita bisa mempunyai ketakutan yang sang sangat besar, dalam satu hari kita bisa mempunyai kekhawatiran yang besar, tapi dalam satu hari itu kita juga bisa mendapatkan jawaban atas apa yang kita rasakan dalam satu hari itu kita juga bisa mempunyai sebuah pengharapan yang besar, A Day Wish.

Pertengahan tahun lalu ,2011 , aku mulai menulis cerita pendek, bercerita tentang hati, hati yang bekerja untuk merasakan, hati yang menggerakkan sebuah keinginan, hati yang mengontrol dirinya sendiri, hati yang bertahan hidup, hati yang tetap membuat kita bernafas, jadi jangan semata-mata berfikir hanya jantung yang berperan besar untuk kerja organ manusia,hati juga itulah kenapa jantung juga disebut "heart"...
