The 33the Letter: How The Situation Which I've Had?


I spend my quarantine about almost 37 days because the second wave Covid-19 is getting worse and always make a record highest positive daily cases in my state, Yogyakarta.  So, I feel so really bored and lonely. But, I'm happy today as far.  I always try to survive through this hard time ever I've had. I'm unemployed, despite I'm a college student. So, I really need a part-time job and money for life. But, I have no job opportunities for Deaf people. Indonesia isn't friendly for Deaf people, you know? Yeah, this is it.

I am still considering to compete and try to applying the international program (like exhange student program), but I don't trust at it, because it would be need a money. I have no money right now. So, yeah, I'm confused how should I do to survive my life by alone. I have my friends, actually, but they don't right here with me again. They are at their home. So, I think God is just right here with me all day. God is exists everywhere I go and live. I rely on God in my life. One thing could I hope is I and my parents will alive through the tough pandemics still going on. I don't know when the pandemic will passes away as quick as soon, although we took vaccinate. God is only knows the answer. God is the answer that I believed.

Alright, I spend my quarantine to watching basketball games (NBA, WNBA, NCAA, and international basketball competitions), movie/ drama serial, writing, reading e-book/book/the news/ articles, playing my cellphone, favorite videos on Youtube, rarely watch American football (NFL and college football), and sleepy.  I'd love to cooking the food, but I have no everything that I needed (I just cook noodles, fish sardines, rice, and cereal). I sometime go shopping in the market or a small mall. I would love to riding on a motorcycle, but I can't go, because some roads are closed by cops during the lockdown. But, I also can out there to buy food and drink, I sometime will buy American foods.

You need to know which things I missed? I will tell you:
1. Basketball. I've practiced basketball three times in a month (June), but it was closed on June 21th, because of the lockdown rules. So, I want more playing basketball as can as possibility, because basketball is my love sport. Ball tries to crash over on me and I try to making a two and three point to winning the game we played. I can't stop to playing basketball and I want to playing basketball for everyday.
2. My parents, Sure, I miss them, but I have three projects (society service program, internship, and thesis) should finished at final semester, so, I don't return home and focus to finish all my three projects. So, I hope I will graduate next year, then make a planning (absolutely, I will struggling for my dream). 
3. In person meetings and events. I'd love to meet with many people and attend the events in person. You know, I love the social field, so, I love to meet many great people. I love to hug and laugh lots, then I will share about the topics that I wanted to speak.

So, I miss three things during the lockdown, I just imaging out if something would come true and make we all freedom mask-less and meet many people that I missed. if you want it. you have to alive and stay at home to save the people you loved and the frontliners.

Then, which things I love the lockdown? I will tell you:
1. Spend time to relaxation or mediation. You know I'm not a perfect human and I have many mistake ever I made. So, I want to fix myself at all as I can as possibility. I want to be a nice people and to be loved by many people that I met. That's really crucial purpose should I get.
2. Watch basketball videos. As usual, I love basketball, so, I would love to watch basketball between men's and women's teams and leagues. 
3. Watch drama serial and movie. I'm huge fan of American movies and drama serials, so, I can watch 4-5 movies and 3-4 episodes in a day. I love how wonderful the states in America, like California, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and other 44 states in America and I also love the cities in America, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Clovis, Poway, San Diego, and many cities in America.
4. Learn English and the United States history. As usual, I have my dream, so that why I should learn English as well. English is my third of fourth languages. I know two languages (BISINDO/ Indonesian sign language) and Indonesian), So, I learn two more languages (ASL/ American sign language and English). You know America has long-human rights and freedom history. I watched some movies about the United States history. I love how did American people always have fought for the freedom and rights to where live in, what pick up, what speak, and what believe. I won't forget the U.S history.
5. Chatting with my foreign friends or native English speaker friends. I will bored to chatting in Indonesian, because I know lots. So, I'd love to chatting with them in English. I want to training and speaking in English as lots as possibility. I think I need to learn hard. My English isn't perfect, so, I need to improving my English skill.

Five things benefit to me at all it during the lockdown. I feel better than before. I just need more time should I take it. 

Back to my topic, I want to finish three projects, that is it and nothing something else. I might I will watch the Olympics and the NFL season if I'm free. I hope I will be healthy.

Thanks, everyone!

I'm a Retired Deaf Activist

I was born to a Deaf person in the middle of a hearing family who does not know sign language and grew up in different ways, neither in the Deaf world nor the hearing world. I studied at a Deaf school using a read-lips method and a mainstream school. So, I'm also a former mainstreamed school alumnus. What was the experience I have become a Deaf person? It was a thrilling journey. Living in an unfriendly country always be challenging. I sometimes was asked why was I born like that and why was I stuck at this family who doesn't know sign language. It felt unfair, though.  I had been an activist since June 2016 and joined Gerkatin (Gerakan untuk Kesejahteraan Tuli untuk Indonesia) which is a Deaf organization. I worked lots-- such as an interpreter, sign language teacher, public speaker, event committee, coordinator, and lead the group, etc-- and had experienced lots, which downs and ups. It was mixed feelings. Being an activist that what you see it looks fun and cool but either t...

Terjemahan: Apa yang Anda Pikirkan Tentang Deaf Power?

Deaf Power mempromosikan sejarah, bahasa, dan nilai-nilai komunitas Tuli di seluruh dunia. Sebagai kedua bahasa dan simbol, itu akan menyebarkan kebanggaan budaya kami . (Sumber: www.deafpower.me oleh Christine Sun Kim dan Ravi Vasavan). Mengapa saya menulis Deaf Power di blog saya? Saya seorang Tuli dan pengguna bahasa isyarat, saya memiliki banyak pengalaman dan momen tentang identitas Tuli. Menjadi identitas Tuli, saya menghadapi diskriminasi dan rasisme di semua lingkungan dan komunitas. Saya menjadi orang Tuli sejak umur 5 hari setelah kelahiran. Hal pertama adalah pengobatan dan terapi pendegaran. Dokter dan orangtua menginginkan kekurangan saya menjadi orang dengar. Jadi, saya menghabiskan masa kecil saya dengan pengobatan dan pergi ke rumah sakit. Saya hanya sedikit mendapatkan pendidikan dari ibu saya atau keluarga saya. Saya tidak tahu siapa mengajarkan saya seperti itu. Kehidpan pertamaku adalah sangat sedikit kata-kata yang saya didapatkan dalam hidup saya. Saya ...

Look at a title, that says I am Christian. Yep, I am Christian and am a follower of Christ. I have prepared some questions might you want to ask When was getting baptized? In December 2019 at GKI Gejayan, Yogyakarta. My baptized name is Malachi Raka. Where is the church usually you worship? English Worship, Yogyakarta. Why did you convert to Christianity? It’s a long story but that came to me who had been fighting for the truth and what makes me feel comfortable and to grow up who am myself. I converted because it’s my decision not because of a girlfriend, I do not have a girlfriend and am still single. After spending two years, I ended up finding Jesus Christ through coming to the church and started tearing up while listening to Christian songs. I really...
