Jangkang Dance ( From Pelilit, Nusa Penida)

noreply@blogger.com (Soma Aryantha) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:42:00 +0000

Well, now I will share information about religious dancing of Hinduism which originally from Nusa Penida (Pelilit village, near Atuh Beach). This dancing just use a simple instruments we call it 'Baleganjur cenik' ( a little instruments of Gong). However, the sounds that sounding is big. The members of this dancing is nine persons. they hold spear that picturing their spirit to have fighting to the devils ( a bad things).
What Jangkang Dance is???Jangkang dance is as a symbol of the people to follow their nature melody. This dancing showing a mystic. At the first time, it is based on the story of Jero Wayan Kulit in the past. He was a servant in Klungkung Palace as a pig keeper. He put the pig food in the container that was made from bronze. He hit the container when he called the pigs to had eat. Surprised, the sound was good and big. So, he decided to brought that bronze to his hometown, Pelilit. But, he was unlucky. No man in his hometown accepted his coming. They chased him away from his hometown himself. Until one day, Pelilit village was attacked by the outsider from outsiders. Many people in Pelilit were died. Jero Wayan Kulit heard that information. He came to Pelilit and brought the bronze. When he arrived in his village, he saw only few people could stand. He was angry and hit the bronze for several times. Suddenly, the crab grass around him was woke up and transformed to the spears transformations. And that spears were killed the attackers of his village. The villagers were happy and said their thanks to Jero Wayan Kulit. For, their appreciation, the villagers made a dancing that symbolizing their appreciation to Jero Wayan Kulit. The name of that dancing is Jangkang dance (symbol of the crab grass they use spears).

After that tragedy, the attack was come again. But, it was from the devils which had a strength to kill people by used their magic. Many people were dying. Only few people could stay. For the last hope, they were pray to the god and the god gave them blessing and asked them to danced Jangkang dance again to blocked the nine wind directions which used by the devils to spread out the sickness. And also, in this dancing, they always have a screaming that refers to their grateful to the god and also as their spirit against the devils/bad things for the next future.

Original clocth/material from Nusa Penida ( Made manually by using hands)

noreply@blogger.com (Soma Aryantha) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:09:00 +0000

Brothers and sisters,laddies and gentleman, here I will share about an unique material/cloth in Nusa Penida. Villagers call it 'Kain Tenun/CEPUK' The amazing one is they make this by using their own hands. May you get confuse about this. How they can finish it or how long they finish it? In Modern era, we use a machine that visible to make a hundred/ a thousand of cloths/materials in hour. But, here, the maker of this cloth take the time around three until four weeks to finish only one cloth. So boring, isn't it? But, that is a naturally they do in their making.

The form and the size mostly in square size/form. It used when they want to have pray to the temple as a symbol of Hindu custom. About the quality?? whew, it is the best one than made up from the modern fabric (by using a machine). The colors are different based on what we want. They don't make it in mixture color because these cloth is reflecting the custom of Hindu in Bali.

Where we can find it? Indeed in Nusa Penida only, especially in Tanglad village, Karang Gede, and in Karang Ampel. Perhaps, some of you being anxious to find it and see how they can make it by their own hands in good quality of cloth/material? LET'S ANSWER YOU ANXIOUSNESS BY VISITING NUSA PENIDA IN YOUR GREAT VACATION...

Cow is a helper/rescuer for a farmer in Nusa Penida

noreply@blogger.com (Soma Aryantha) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:28:00 +0000

All Farmers in Nusa Penida ( My father too) are use the cows to plow up. They are not used a tractor machine for this. They don't know this machine, their life can be categorize so classical (Primitive). They often use their power to plow up and absolutely with the help of their cows. However, they enjoy their life even they far from technology.

Can you imagine this??? A farmer in Nusa Penida plow up their farm for one or more hectare just by using his cows. For, example, my lovely father. He flow up the farm one day full started in the morning to afternoon. In Nusa Penida, there are no wet unit areas. They just waiting the rainy season that started on September ( usually late until December). They plant cassava,pea, peanut and corn. Whew...so Natural I think...

How to command the cows??? if the cows should turn left/right, the farmers say 'Lok/belok( pronounce beelouk) for their cows and fulling the cow's rope bound. If turn left, the cow's rope bound in the left is fulled and turn right too with the same instruction. Incredible cooperation between cows and the farmer...Let's take a look of its natural !!!

Atuh Beach in Flux

noreply@blogger.com (Soma Aryantha) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:28:00 +0000

We can go into the middle of the beach to see many creatures. Such as,crab, fish,octopus,starfish, in flux situation. It is look nice when we see a little coral reef in the middle of the sea. The villagers use this place to have fishing. And they called this coral reef with the name of Padasan (meaning coral reef).

Here, you can enter the cave. From outside, it is look small entering gate, but inside, it is wide. There are live many bats, crabs, and birds with their natural singing.

This is Padasan. Its body likes a turtle. In this coral reef we can find monkeys, snakes and any other creature. And in the north of Padasan there are stand a flag of Netherlands. No body can get this part because it is secret and has own story in the past. And until now days, no one who have braveness to get that part.

There is, the amazing god creation. The gate that must be entered by the fisherman when they done their activity. The villagers call it Batumelawang (Stone gate). If they past the other sides, they will get incident. The truly is no doubting, because it is usually happen when the fisherman try to ignore it. The villagers believe that in the right side of this gate, there are a God palace ( only some people who can see it). So, the fisherman must enter the gate as entering door to catch the fish.

Here, I was come when the beach was flux. I looked some creatures such as fish, crab, octopus, cockle shells, etc as my dinner menu (hehehe). Almost all people do this when the beach is flux. And when the beach is reflux, we just go out. The wave is so big when it is reflux. And the biggest wave is showed in August to October.

He is my brother looks seriously to catch the cockle shells. There were a lot of starfish but we just denied it because we cannot eat it, except you are omnivore isn't it ??? (hehehe, intermezzo).

Nusa Penida Island

noreply@blogger.com (Soma Aryantha) — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 12:32:00 +0000

Nusa Penida is an island southeast of Bali, Indonesia. There are two small islands nearby: Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. The Badung Strait separates the island and Bali. The interior of Nusa Penida is hilly with a maximum altitude of 524 meters. It is drier than the nearby island of Bali. Unlike the neighboring small island of Nusa Lembongan there is very little tourist infrastructure here.

Bali Bird Sanctuary on Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is a unique island-wide bird sanctuary. It is unique in that Nusa Penida is a populated island where all of the island's communities have used traditional Balinese village regulations to create a sanctuary for birds. The idea of converting Nusa Penida (and its sister islands of Lembongan and Ceningan) into a bird sanctuary came from Drh I. Gede Nyoman Bayu Wirayudha (veterinarian) and his Indonesian NGO, Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF), who envisioned the islands to be a natural safe haven where endangered birds could be released to rebuild their numbers, free from the threat of poachers. FNPF spent 2 years counselling all of the key people of influence on the Penida islands on the benefits of protecting birds and conservation. In 2006 all 35 villages (now 41 villages) unanimously agreed to make bird protection part of their traditional regulations (“awig-awig”), making it a social and spiritual obligation for all Penida residents to protect birds. Since then, FNPF has rehabilitated and released various Indonesian birds, most notably the critically endangered Bali Starling which is endemic to Bali but whose numbers in the wild had declined to less than 10 in 2005. After a 2 year program by FNPF in which 64 cage bred birds were rehabilitated and released onto Nusa Penida, their number had increased to over 100 in 2009. Other released birds include Java Sparrow, Mitchell's Lorikeet and Sculpture Crested Cockatoo. In return for this unanimous commitment by all villages to protect birds, FNPF runs a variety of community wellbeing / development projects. FNPF's office, visitor center, nursery and guest accommodation is located in the village of Ped, on the north side of Nusa Penida.

Diving sites

Nusa Penida covers a wide area of diving locations. They are Penida Bay, Batu Lumbung (Manta Point), Batu Meling, Batu Abah, Toya Pakeh and Malibu Point^,The flow through the Lombok Strait is, overall, south-tending, although the strength and direction of the tidal streams are influenced by the monsoon seasons.

During the southeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends south; during the northeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends north. In the area of the strait north of Nusa Penida, the pattern is relatively simple, with a flow, at peaktide, of about three-and-one-half knots. Tidal streams in Badung Strait are semi-diurnal, but the character of the stream is very complicated because its direction runs obliquely to the general south to north direction of Lombok Strait, and the channel has a curved shape.

Toyapakeh

Toyapakeh has a stretch of reefs, and in the southern part of the bay there is a similar area of rugged bommies, rich with color and fish. Big schools of fish, sea turtles, and occasionally Mola mola (sunfish) are highlight of Toyapakeh diving. Toyapakeh is special for its pillars of coral.

Malibu Point

Malibu Point is a diving site with gray reefs, reef white tips, silver-tips and numerous sharks. While Penida Bay is another anchorage, and the rocky islands have an interesting forms; something like an old resting elephant. The bay is vulnerable to swell, creating-up-and-down-currents. Then, Manta Point is a limestone rock off Pandan cafe. The swell is relatively strong.

Nusa Penida/Lembongan

Nusa Penida/Lembongan is a diving site with vast spread of coral reefs and good visibility. Big fish are frequently observed at the area. Manta rays or sunfishes appear in certain seasons.

The site is also known because of the very strong currents requiring advanced diving skills.

Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay is calmer than outer shore. There are schools of Anthias. A school of batfish comes around periodically. A bat cave is located nearby.

The purpose of the study are find out (1) the strategies of apology are used on Facebook by students of Ganesha University based on Blum-Kulka theory (2) the pragmatic expressions are meant by students of Ganesha University in apologizing on Facebook (3) types of gender variations in the use of strategies of apology are showed on Facebook by students of Ganesha University.

The result showed (1) the uses of Overt Apology and Taking on Responsibility are mostly used by students of Ganesha University on Facebook and the strategies of Shifting of blame (denial of responsibility), Attacking the complainer and Justification are rare used (2) many apologies were verbalized because the apologizers like to deal with their problem directly. However, some others used ambiguous apology because the apologizers wanted to protect themselves from being accused of guilt (3) In gender variations of strategy used, the result showed that men used the expression of lack of intent more than women in their apology; men used the expression of explanation more than women; and men used the verbalization of offense more than women.

The writer hopes that this study will give any information about the ways of apologizing and give a contribution in people daily interaction.
