Film serial Journey to The West adalah salah satu film favorit saya, terutama versi 1996, dimana saat itu saya masih SD. Kalau tidak salah saya tidak pernah absen menontonnya setiap malam dan cukup banyak terinspirasi dari kisah kisah yang disajikan. Film tersebut hanyalah fiksi belaka. Namun sebenarnya, tokoh biksu yang menjadi pemeran utama film tersebut didasarkan pada sebuah kisah nyata. Berikut ini saya hadirkan ceritanya.

FIFA World Cup Official Songs
The FIFA World Cup, often simply the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War.

Gintama Anime Historical Influences
Here are some small history lessons behind the names of some of the characters in Gintama!

Sakata Gintoki (坂田銀時)
His name overall is a reference to the Japanese legend of Kintaro, which is about a child with massive strength during the Heian period(rather the later Edo period that Gintama takes place in). Kintaro became friends with the animals that lived on the mountain where he was raised, and was even capable of battling with them. After certain events, he became a samurai and eventually went under the name Sakata Kintoki (坂田公時). Sorachi-sensei, in one of the question corners explains this, and doesn't intend on making Gin-san a descendant of Kintaro.
There are random times when he is actually called Kintoki. Sakamoto mistakes Gintoki's name all the time, the OWee gaming console was unable to fit all the characters of his name (き/ki took one space while ぎ/gi took two), and the Gintoki in Gintama's alternate universe "Kintama" had golden hair and was called Kintoki.

Indonesia - Hungaria : 0-6, Kalah dengan Perjuangan yang Gagah
Di tengah sepak bola Indonesia yang saat ini terus terombang ambing, bahkan terdapat dua induk organisasi yang memiliki kompetisi masing masing, prestasi sepak bola Indonesia di era pra-kemerdekaan ternyata pernah menjadi kebanggaan di tingkat internasional. Saat itu, tim sepak bola nasional Indonesia bahkan menjadi tim Asia pertama yang berpartisipasi dalam Piala Dunia FIFA pada tahun 1938.

IRIAN : Ikut Republik Indonesia Anti Nederland
This post should I start with a statement that is personal. Well ... personally, I am a fan of KH Abdurrahman Wahid. Anyway ... in many ways, the ideas fit Gus Dur, blending completely with what's on my cranium. If I say "in many ways" that means, because it is not all thoughts and actions fit with the Gus Dur's on my mind.

Satu Kisah dari Sepakbola Indonesia : Dari 6-0 Menuju 10-0
Mungkin baru kali ini saja saya menuliskan tentang sepakbola Indonesia. Sepakbola Indonesia memiliki sejarah yang sangat panjang, bahkan lebih panjang dibandingkan dengan usia dari Republik Indonesia sendiri. Catatan sejarah menyebutkan bahwa pada Piala Dunia tahun 1938 yang diadakan di Perancis, Indonesia sudah mencatatkan dirinya sebagai Dutch East Indies (Hindia Belanda) yang berpastisipasi di sana. Pada 05 Juni 1938, bertempat di Reims (Velodrome Municipale), walaupun tidak mencetak gol dan kalah 6-0 melawan Hungaria, Indonesia lah negara Asia pertama yang berlaga di Piala Dunia.

Pidato Pancasila Bung Karno 1 Juni 1945
Kita pernah memiliki seorang presiden yang selain berwibawa juga lihai dalam berpidato. Benar, Presiden Soekarno. Sebagai presiden pertama Republik Indonesia, beliau telah membawa nama Indonesia di kancah internasional. Berikut ini saya kutip dari situs wikipedia, salah satu pidato beliau tenantang Pancasila sebagai dasar negara yang disampaikan sebelum Indonesia merdeka di depan BPUPKI (Dokuritsu Jyunbi Cosakai) pada tanggal 1 Juni 1945. Mungkin bagi kita generasi penerus yang sudah merasakan Indonesia merdeka, kita dapat membaca kembali salah satu dasar penting dari berdiriya negara yang kiat cintai ini. Selamat menyimak.

Hari Pahlawan 10 November 1945
Artikel mengenai Hari Pahlawan pada tanggal 10 November 1945 ini saya sadur dari situs wikipedia. Selamat Hari Pahlawan!
Setelah munculnya maklumat pemerintah Indonesia tanggal 31 Agustus 1945 yang menetapkan bahwa mulai 1 September 1945 bendera nasional Sang Saka Merah Putih dikibarkan terus di seluruh wilayah Indonesia, gerakan pengibaran bendera tersebut makin meluas ke segenap pelosok kota Surabaya. Klimaks gerakan pengibaran bendera di Surabaya terjadi pada insiden perobekan bendera di Yamato Hoteru / Hotel Yamato (bernama Oranje Hotel atauHotel Oranye pada zaman kolonial, sekarang bernama Hotel Majapahit) di Jl. Tunjungan no. 65 Surabaya.
