Future Dreams

I've been thinking about my future, lately. It's such a pleasure talking and thinking about it with friends or family, right? When I was about five I wanted to be a dentist, to be an architect, and then to be a diplomat. It's easy to be into something when I was a kid, but now I'm a teenager but I don't know what I want to be. Pathetic!

I'm still having two more years in senior high school then get into college. Oh gosh! 2 years go by so fast but I just have a little college preparation. Well, in other words I AM NOT READY YET TO GET INTO COLLEGE! Confuse to choose the university and the major. My mom said that I don't have to worry about it (too much), do what I like to do.

Do what I like to do eh? I like photography so much. I'm in love with everything about photography but somehow I don't want to make my hobby as my main job in the future. So I want to take a major which doesn't have anything to do with photography. I'm thinking of taking engineering major such as industrial, mechanical, or electrical, but I wonder can engineers easily get jobs after their bachelors, especially in Indonesia? Here in Indonesia the job market for engineers is not good enough, hmm I have to think about major plan again. How about the university? I want to get into a public university which is not in Jakarta. I don't know, maybe Jogja or Bandung.

Basically, I love a job that required me to travel not to sit behind the desk all day long, it would be very boring. The important things is I enjoy my job and the job earns enough money for me, doesn't to have to worry about finances too much. I wish to become a successful woman in the future and have a happy family. PERFECT! hahaha.

I know there is nothing so easy but we can build what we can imagine because what we imagine has a way of deeply influencing us.

Gue punya DSLR = Gue anak gaul

Beberapa hari yang lalu gue nulis ini di jurnal deviantart gue, karena responnya cukup banyak dan ada beragam pendapat jadi gue berpikir untuk me-repost nya. Sekedar mau tau aja pendapat kalian gimana soal masalah ini.

"Kalian ngerasa nggak kalau banyak yang suka fotografi, terutama yang punya DSLR cuma buat gaya-gayaan doang? Kebanyakan sih yang kayak gitu anak-anak seumuran gue. Nih ya gue sering ngeliat anak-anak seumuran gue alias ABG berkeliaran di pusat perbelanjaan dengan mengalungi DSLR, dengan begitu mereka merasa diri mereka keren, gaul, trendy, dan blablabla. Ok jadi mereka beli DSLR untuk GENGSI semata. Tapi kalau mereka ditanya tentang fotografi mereka nggak bisa jawab apa-apa, maaf kalau boleh dibilang kemampuan anak-anak yang kayak gitu NOL BESAR. Bukanya sombong tapi itu kenyataan yang gue liat. Menurut kalian gimana? Eneg nggak sih ngeliat ABG ABG yang kayak gitu?"

Banyak loh anak muda di luar sana yang niat banget buat belajar fotografi, mereka manfaatin kamera seadanya bahkan ada juga yang minjem, kemampuan mereka juga nggak kalah sama yang pake DSLR. Mungkin buat sebagian orang harga sebuah DSLR itu murah, tapi bagi mereka (termasuk gue) DSLR itu bukan barang yang murah, sayang banget kalau barang mahal cuma dipake buat gaya-gayaan, pamer, dan jaga gengsi. Buang jauh-jauh deh pikiran lo kalau fotografi itu hobi anak-anak gaul, fotografi itu bisa bikin lo eksis, dan lain sebagainya. Kalau lo emang suka fotografi serius lah dalam bidang itu, jangan karena lagi ngetrend trus lo memaksakan diri lo jadi suka fotografi. Hal-hal yang sering bikin geregetan tuh yang kayak gini, lo punya DSLR tapi lo nggak tau cara makenya, buat lo DSLR itu cuma sebagai simbol kalau lo suka fotografi. Itu yang menyebabkan timbulnya kecemburuan sosial. Anak-anak yang make kamera seadanya itu pasti iri, geregetan, dan berpikiran 'LO TUH NGGAK PANTES PUNYA DSLR! kok lo bego banget sih punya DSLR tapi nggak bisa makenya, nggak bisa manfaatinnya? terus buat apa lo beli itu kalau toh nggak ada gunanya juga buat lo, mending kamera lo buat gue aja daripada mubazir.' Sayangkan kalau lo beli DSLR mahal-mahal cuma buat dipamerin doang?

Di sini gue cuma mau ngelurusin aja persepsi ABG soal fotografi. Fotografi itu bukan buat gaya-gayaan. Maaf kalau postingan ini agak frontal, tapi sekedar untuk masukan sekaligus sindiran biar mereka yang punya sifat kayak gitu bisa berubah :)
