little house on the prairie

After a very looong time eventually I can watch the series again. Still very touching. First time, the series reminded me when I went to a small books rental in Malang near my rent-house, Indonesian version, "Di Tepi Danau Perak" and "Empat tahun pertama". After that my friend lent me an english version "In the bank of plum creek", the picture here is exactly depicting a first chapter of "in the bank of plum creek", a house which build under ground, on the plum creek river bank, there are beautiful Laura and her brave dog Jack. Laura wasn't so beautiful, cute hehe, but her older appearance was very pretty when Almanzo Wilder proposed to marry her, she was 18.
This series will truly negate any dogma which was told us about the danger of western culture, moreover if we compare it to today local television series. Ingalls family teach about a thankful life in a hard life, which is really suitable for general Indonesian people's hard life. Everything goes logically nice, there is no fairies or stupid big luck which are usually the magical solution in the climax of Indonesian TV series. Evil deeds among children were also depicted adequately, just as children nuisance, not as a smart ass conspiracy that tend to be dangerous even put someone's life at stake.
Most Indonesian TV series are very dangerous for children, sorry not only children, anybody. They shape your mind into a dull one that validate TV series director's illogical reasoning. Not only that, low taste dressing styles and many bad things.
Unfortunately today western serials such as "Friends", "Annie Mc Beal" or "Sex and the city" which are depicting glamour life attract more people to watch, hence they attract more commercials. Some opinions said that they might upgrade woman dressing style and taste...if and only if people afford to buy mango, zara, miu-miu, gucci, ysl, dkny, esprit and so on that are looming in many commercial building around Jakarta. If people are "smart" and confident enough maybe they can find them on factory outlet shop or even from grass root market such as Blok-M Melawai or even Poncol. In my opinion, I highly recommend women not to watch those serials due to their nature as shopping frenzies. The fashion knowledge gained from the serials might make their father or husband live in misery. While I was in a flight from Schiphol, I had a short conversation with a dutch woman about her shopping frenzy, she simply replied "I'm woman", hehehe, exactly the same as a javanese village woman's answer when I contested her about the same matter, hi mom :D. Since this answer was got from two very far point, which are distanced half of earth round, I think it is fair enough to make a generalization of their shopping frenziness.
So, for you who felt that life is hard, watch this series, little house on the prairie! Hopefully you'll be a thankful person. Last but not least, stay away from any disgraced Punjabi's products, beware, their product are such as sauron's rings, never let your family consume them or your beloved will be enslaved by this 'ring' called sinetron. The rings do not only enslave in a lifetime even after the lifetime, turn the bearers into creatures without souls, animated corpses even before they die.
