Shaman King is the second masterpiece of Hiroyuki Takei. It first published in 1998, and reached the outer Japan about early 2000. Shaman King is a manga ( Japanese for “comic” ) series that separated in 32 volumes. Shaman King also ever serialized in magazine Weekly Shonen Jump. Like all the Japanese popular manga there had been the anime creation of this manga that started in year 2001. But, the story, especially the ending between the manga and the anime is a little different, so I suggest you to read the original story from the manga.

The story is about a lazy slacking boy named Asakura Yoh who is a shaman ( the one who links this world and the other world ). He can use the ability of the spirit by makes himself posessed. With the help of his fiancée, Anna, Yoh is in training for the ultimate shaman sports event: the "Shaman Fight" the once-every-500-years tournament to see who can shape humanity's future and become the Shaman King. But unfortunately for Yoh, every shaman in the world is competing for the same prize. In passing all challenge he is accompanied with his best friend Manta, an ordinary high school boy, whose life was changing since his meeting with Yoh. Firstly, Yoh just had to fight against his enemy. But, line after, he also had to fight against his friends that have the same dream as him, because the Shaman King is one person only. The culminating-point is when Yoh had to face his twin-brother who has a very powerful spirit.

Though, Yoh is the main character, the story is being told by Manta’s side. That is one of many unique points of this comic. Hiroyuki Takei made it in a simple plot of draw, so the readers can easily understand this full of imaginations story. Actually, this manga has variety genre, action, adventure, comedy, romance, supernatural, and many else. It’s because of the unpredictable story.  In one book you can read it with laughter, in other you can be touched and cried. That’s why people couldn’t stop reading one series, but always want to continue the next.

The language that the author uses in this manga is quiet simple. Although, it uses many pure Japanese Words, it’s still easy to understand. There are also many meaningful quotes saying by the characters that make the conversation in the story very meaty.

Another point is you can find all of human character gathered here, from the kind, lazy, struggle, fighter, hopeless, until the crazy characters. You can learn how the problem is being faced by different ways and finally, different solutions. Mr. Takei give the story with there is not any evil shaman. So, no people doing wrong! It’s difficult to conclude who’re the good characters and the bad one. But, that’s make the story more interesting!

What I really disappointed is about the ending. They were still in the midst of a gauntlet fighting against the guardians of Shaman Fight winner, Yoh and his friends are forced to stop what they were doing and instead "take a break", allowing them to sleep in the middle of battle then, it’s ended! Totally hanged! Or many people called it a “controversial ending”. I have no idea why the author chose that un-understand-able ending. Manga usually leave you with a well thought of ending, but shaman king were like losing interest towards the end.

Shaman King ( After reading The KangZengBang )

If you read my post before this, you will know i wrote about fan's dissapointment about the ending. Seems like Mr. Takei had realized it too from the first time he made it. Therefore, he made another sequel titled "Shaman King KangZengBang"

I have no idea why they were published in different sequel and even given different title, but the story was exactly continue-ing from the last hanging-ending chapter 32 of Shaman King Series.

But, that's doesn't matter... =3

because the ending was going so much much better now..

i don't say it's really over here, but it's enough (at least for me) to closing this sequel with a memorable chapter.

so, since it was about the ending, i won't write more,

but i will show you some amazing part of this very last chapter..

another part of hao... haven't seen his face like this before.. :D

 

future tao ren..,how cool!! >.< (for me, he is the coolest among the other, even yoh)
the little one he's holding is his son, Tao Men..,can you guess who's the mother?? 

i think, this is the best page i've read... *i'm happy too hearing that call "nii-chan" ... :)) 

Asakura brothers rules..!!!

 

and yet... our best couple here...

 

the last.., where it's started, where it should end...

Funbari Hill cemetery...(it's coloured!!)

  

Great job Mr. Takei..!! 

If i have five thumbs, i will up all for you...

Journey Back

it's just the same

i'm going through the same path i'd always walked before
i will take the old rusty bus i'd usually took before
i will walk to same the room, which i will staying alone inside just like before
but i feel glad
i don't know where it's going, the heavy feeling when i step in the train and left my hometown
it's suddenly gone after i breath the first air in my destination
and i feel calm
more, i feel glad

i feel like everything will workout, somehow (at least for this week)...

yep,
i gotta move on with my life...

thank's for everything there
thank's GOD for awaking me from my beautiful dream to this reality

Jogja,
i'm back

Fools

again..,
i'm standing here..,waiting for something i knew would never come...
what a fool...

Menurut Anda, Apa Sumber Inovasi…?? (tugas kewirausahaan)

*Setelah melihat tugas - tugas yang sudah sedemikian rupa kubuat, tapi akhir2nya berceceran ga jelas ke mana..,akhirnya, kepikiran buat diarsipin di blog aja deh. maklum ya kalo bahasanya kali ini (sok) resmi...*


Sebelum kita membicarakan tentang sumber inovasi, tentunya kita harus tahu terlebih dahulu apakah inovasi itu. Kata “inovasi” diadaptasi dari Bahasa Inggris “innovate” yang berarti memperkenalkan sesuatu yang baru, baik berupa suatu produk (barang/jasa), ide, maupun cara melakukan sesuatu yang bermanfaat dalam kehidupan.

Inovasi sangat identik dengan dunia usaha atau bisnis, walaupun sebenarnya inovasi dapat diterapkan dalam berbagai bidang kehidupan, salah satunya adalah praktek kedokteran gigi. Inovasi diperlukan supaya kita dapat “tampil beda” dan mendapat perhatian lebih dari masyarakat. Banyak orang yang telah sukses karena inovasi – inovasinya. Namun, tidak sedikit orang yang usahanya ‘jalan di tempat’ karena sulit sekali memunculkan inovasi di tengah iklim usaha yang begerak pesat. Mengapa hal itu bisa terjadi? Apakah karena orang itu tidak dapat menemukan sumber inovasi?

Benarkah seperti itu? Mari kita tengok beberapa orang yang telah sukses berinovasi dalam berbagai segi kehidupan. Dari mana mereka mendapatkan sumber inovasi?

Issac Newton memperoleh sumber inovasi tetang hukum gravitasi saat ia sedang duduk melamun memandang bulan di bawah pohon apel, dan sebuah apel jatuh di atas kepalanya.W.A. Mozart memberikan inovasi dalam dunia musik klasik dengan puluhan simfoni yang terinspirasi suara roda kereta kuda yang sering ditungganginya. Alexander Flemming menemukan inovasi dalam dunia farmasi, penisilin setelah penelitian menahun (walaupun kemudian “obat ajaib” itu sempat terlantar beberapa tahun). Bill Gates, siapa tidak kenal Bill Gates dan semua inovasi yang dibuatnya hingga ia menjadi orang terkaya di dunia, yang awalnya hanya bersumber dari mimpi – mimpi yang orang anggap gila.

Kesimpulannya, sumber inovasi sebenarnya tidak terikat, harus dari sini atau dari situ, tidak terbatas, bisa apapun, bisa ditemukan di mana pun, kapanpun, dalam keadaan bagaimanapun. Namun, yang menciptakan sumber inovasi itu adalah pemikiran kita sendiri. Jika Issac Newton berpikir bahwa apel yang jatuh itu hanyalah sebuah apel, makan tidak akan ada bukum gravitasi, dan apel akan tetap menjadi apel hingga membusuk. Oleh karena itu, kita harus bisa berpikir sekreatif mungkin, seluas mungkin, dan segila mungkin dalam segala peluang yang ada dan saat itu kita akan sadar bahwa sumber inovasi itu ada di sekeliling kita, tanpa harus mencarinya di negeri Cina.

Another great story by Paulo Coelho

E-mail dari om John Oei - Tulang Rusuk




Mengapa ada beberapa orang yang mampu melewati badai cobaan paling dahsyat dalam hidupnya dan tetap berdiri tegar.
Sementara beberapa lainnya selalu mengeluh, complain terus tentang setiap gangguan kecil dalam hidupnya dan akhirnya semakin terpuruk?


Ramesh menjelaskan- nya dalam kisah ilustrasi yang sangat indah ini.




"Suatu saat, hidup seorang yang sangat dipenuhi oleh roh kasih dalam
hidupnya. Ketika ia meninggal, semua orang mengira bahwa manusia sepertinya pasti langsung masuk ke Surga.


Tetapi karena sesuatu dan lain hal, malaikat di Surga berbuat kesalahan. Ia kelewatan nama orang itu dan berpikir karena orang tersebut tidak terdaftar di Surga, tempatnya adalah di 'tempat satunya lagi' dan ia langsung mengirimnya ke Neraka!


Dan di Neraka, tidak ada yang men-cek reservasi anda.
Semua yang dibuang di sana adalah penghuni abadi.
Jadi begitulah, orang tersebut tinggal tanpa membantah karena ia berpikir mungkin dia belum layak untuk tinggal di surga.


Hanya seminggu kemudian, Raja Iblis pergi ke Surga.
Marah-marah menuduh bahwa Kerajaan Surga telah melakukan terorisme di Neraka.


'Ada apa?', tanya malaikat Surga.


Sang Raja Iblis berteriak dengan murka.


'Apa maksud kalian mengirim orang ini ke Neraka.
Dia benar-benar merusak tempatku.
Sejak awal, dia tidak pernah membalas siapa pun yang menyakitinya. Malahan ia selalu mendengarkan, mengasihi dan menghibur yang lain. Sekarang semua penghuni di sekeliling orang ini mulai saling memeluk dan mengasihi satu dengan lainnya. Ini bukan Neraka yang ku- kehendaki. Ini orangnya aku kembalikan, aku tidak perduli.
Pokoknya aku tidak bisa menerimanya di kerajaan-ku!'






Dan Ramesh menutup ceritanya dengan berkata,


"Maka hiduplah dengan penuh cinta dan kasih dalam hatimu.
Sehingga apa pun yang terjadi denganmu, sampai sekalipun malaikat melakukan kesalahan dan mengirimmu ke Neraka, Sang Iblis sendiri yang akan mengantarmu kembali ke Surga."
