Akhirnya... postingan yang lebih ceria!!!! huuuhuuuuy... (mode**tersenyum lebar**on)

Selamat kepada pa Zazili Hanafiah yang telah menyelesaikan program doktornya pada hari Jumat, 21 Juli 2006 yang lalu. Selamat kepada mba Andriani dan Wangsan-kun juga yang udah ngedampingin dan jadi inspirasi pa Zazili saat mandeg ngadepin desertasinya :-)

Duuuhhh, pa Zazili dan keluarga pasti seneng banget nih, kita aja yang dengernya ikutan seneng ko. Makanya foto keluarganya kita tampilkan disini, ga pa-pa ya ;-) tapi jangan salah para pembaca, yang dibelakangnya beliau-beliau bertiga itu bukan piaraannya keluarga Zazili lho... :-))

Pangandaran...

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangandaran) :

Pangandaran is a small town and a sub-district (kecamatan) in southern Ciamis regency, West Java, Indonesia. It is located on the southern coast of Java. Pangandaran is a popular tourist destination, having a beach which is considered to be one of the finest in Java and which offers excellent surfing.
A kite-flying festival is held on the beach in July and August. It is reported that the locals used to fly kites in the evenings to catch bats and may still do so. There is a local belief that wearing any green garment in this area will anger Loro Kidul, the Javanese guardian spirit or goddess of the southern sea, and will bring misfortune.
The small national park of Penanjung Pangandaran is nearby on a peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow neck of land. About eighty percent of the park is secondary rainforest. The flora of the park includes the Rafflesia.
A tsunami hit the area on July 17, 2006. An undersea earthquake measured at 7.7 on the Richter scale triggered a three metre high tidal wave. Extensive damage was caused and hundreds of people were reported to be dead or missing.

From PPI-Kagoshima :
Our deepest concern and hope to those coping with the aftermath of Pangandaran tsunami
