Sacha Stevenson : I'm Looking for Open Minded Person

Siapa sih yang ga tau cewek bule cantik asal Kanada bernama Sacha yang udah 12 tahun tinggal di Indonesia? aku yang tinggal di luar negeri sampe tau nih orang siapa... bule yang bisa ngomong lancar banget bahasa Indonesia + Sunda (little bit maybe) + bahasa gaul anak jakarte (loe gue)

She's a YouTube-er (how to spell it actually?)

Make some funny videos about "How to act like Indonesian?" and several other things that mentioned about Indonesia in daily life...like corruption, where is my "kembalian", hijab, etc. 

Those videos are very funny to see but at the same time make me realize, yeah...that's true. hahahaha

Contohnya...

1. Kemana-mana orang Indonesia tuh naik motor walopun jarak cuma 10 meter...

2. Nyangkruk di warung kopi pake sarung...

3. Kalo ketemu bule, minta foto

4. Buang sampah sembarangan

5. Terlalu banyak hal yang harus diurus, jadi akhirnya pake calo...

6. Kalo beli bensin, sama pegawai pom bensin ga dikasih kembalian receh...

7. etc...

8. etc...

Hahahaha sounds funny, right?? 

But, despite all of that kind of "shit but true" things she said, she loved Indonesia so much. I love Indonesia too, of course... but yeah you know, not all people can accept what she said. I think recently many people judge her as "bule" not as a person who criticize Indonesia because she love this country...

She is a muslim actually... not all people know about this. Because she said something about hijab, many people said she's bad person. hmm... i think they're not open minded one... because everyone can say something right? and i think it's because she said setengah english setengah indonesia. so, many people not know much about the real meaning...haha the video of the start of the intrique is in here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THDZFIYKTek

So....she made the answer buat semua orang yang salah paham tentang kalimat "babi pakai jilbab" di sini...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x6JZCqQsCc

Hmmm... when I saw the video, yeah dia salah di satu sisi, tapi di sisi lain dia juga ga salah... hahaha

Keep open minded... :D

Then, I watched another video...from cosmopolitan FM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcSzSHdrOIE

which Sacha was there... ada satu hal yang aku salut sama dia...dia bilang gini...walopun ga persisi kalimatnya sih ya... :p

"Aku harap...orang akan menjadi lebih open minded ketika liat video aku...ketika aku ketemu orang dan dy bilang dy suka sama video aq, berarti dy pintar..."

Yap that's right! because, open minded people will not just laugh because it's funny but also educating themselves and try to make Indonesia better... not only said "you are wrong, sha!!!" haha

And i just realize...kenapa ya nih orang jiwa ke-Indonesia-an nya lebih keliatan daripada orang Indonesia sendiri...misal, kayak ngritik orang koruptor...itu waow banget.

trus pengemis di jalanan...atau pengamen...

Seandainya para wakil rakyat (mulai dari pengurus RT, RW, kades, lurah, bupati, gubernur, menteri, DPR, MPR, atau presiden) liat video-video sacha, hmmm semoga mereka sadar...ga cuma ketawa doank karena nyadar kalo apa yang divideoin itu nyata adanya...

Hmm...one thing that I'm curious about, she said she is a muslim. dan pernah pake jilbab yang sangat tertutup a.k. cadar. trus sekarang ga pake... ya aq tau sih alasannya karena dy bilang di videonya kalo susah cari kerja kalo pake jilbab dan itu susah banget buat dy untuk chase her dream... tapi scha...kmu masih shalat kan? masih ke masjid kan? masih baca qur'an kan? masih mau pake jilbab lagi?

For sacha, thank you for loving Indonesia and criticizes in your way even not all people like what you do...

Keep going on, keep moving forward...

And I hope someday, you can wear hijab or jilbab again and no one can under estimate you... ^o^

Just be yourself and catch your dream!!

betewe, keren banget kamu roller blade dari Merak sampe Bali shaa... >.<
