* Statement of the Nations in our Independence Day August 17, 1945. Whenever Indonesia in status quo according Japan's Surrender in WW II (atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) and the other hand; Allied Forces is waiting, the story of our independence not yet finish, since Allied Nations still insisted to get involved their powers in Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) 'till they make several agreements. One of them was countersigned on board USS Renville.
* But as Nations we can not accept another powers to controlling and keep an eye for our country. All we need just FREEDOM in every aspects being free Nations. And here we are. Undertaken our country by our own!

Bahwa sesungguhnya, kemerdekaan itu adalah hak segala bangsa. Dan oleh sebab itu, maka penjajahan di atas dunia harus dihapuskan. Karena tidak sesuai dengan pri-kemanusiaan dan pri-keadilan.

* Taken from Pembukaan UUD 45 (Preambule) that say "Freedom is the right of every nations. So, the subjections has to be erased, it's illegal acts against human rights and justice."

What can I say about being Indonesian now? I don't like to talk about economic, politics, dadidadida :) I just want to underlining how grateful and thankful I am. Born and rise in a huge-rich archipelago called Nusantara or now known as Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. The motherland where the bloods of my ancestors and heroes were flowing and inveterated. 14,700 ++ islands ... can I explore all of them all my whole life? Maybe not ... but the feeling proudly as Indonesian, will never change ... the whole of my life!

* Diversity in Unity *

~ Dari sabang sampai Merauke,
Berjajar pulau-pulau
Sambung menyambung menjadi satu, itulah Indonesia
Indonesia Tanah Airku
Aku berjanji padamu
Menjunjung Tanah Airku,
Tanah Airku Indonesia~

That's my childhood fave song which I'd got in the kindergarten. A patriotic and poetic song about our love to the motherland of Indonesia.
Can be translated as;
From Sabang (in Weh Island, North Sumatra) to Merauke (the fartest point of Indonesia in Papua Island),
the islands stand like diamonds in a necklace
holding alltogether to be one, in the name of Indonesia
Indonesia is my beloved motherland
I swear I will do my best to you
To protect and remember the motherland
My beloved motherland; Indonesia.
