Female Magazines: Feminist Dilemma

               Nowadays information is one of the important things in this world. One of many ways to get information is through media. Media itself is a tool to get and to deliver information for others. Especially mass media, mass media is a communication tool which simply made from print media (newspaper, magazine, book, etc), electronic media (television and radio), and online media. Even for this era electronic media and online media are more interesting than print media, but they can’t change the print media position in world. One of the print medias is magazine.

            In magazine, we can find so many informations and entertainments. Before a magazine is published, the manager will determine first who is the reader target, For example is female as the reader. Female magazine is special magazine for women, even some men also interested in female magazine. Usually in female magazine, it contains some information like life style, life tips, insprating stories,  also science.

            But, not always positive side is seen from female magazine. There is a dilemma, magazine (mass media) is considered as one of ways to exploit women. In one side, magazine is good for women because it can give more information to get more knowledge about world, but in the other side, magazine is exploiting women as capitalism product. Why exploiting women for capitalism product? Women is considered as interesting object to be a target for marketing product. Not only  as interesting target but also as interesting object to be a product.

HANAMI ^^

Hanami..hanami..hanami.. Let's talk about brief explanation of Hanami ^^

Hanami literally means 'flower viewing', but it commonly refers to 'cherry blossom viewing'. Cherry Blossom blooms in the end of March to early May. Cherry Blossom forecast is called Sakurazensen, where the weather bureau announce when Hanami happens, because Hanami can be enjoyed when all Cherry Blossom trees bloom.

The history of Hanami itself was started one thousand years ago (Nara Period 710-794), Hanami in that era not only for viewing Cherry Blossom, but in Heinan Period (794-1185) Cherry Blossom (Sakura) came to attract more attention, and that made people argue Sakura is synonymous of Hanami. From then on, in Tanka or Haiku (Japanese Poetry) 'flowers' mean 'sakura'.


Today, the japanese people continue the tradition of Hanami, it is like picnic party under the blooming trees, people gather to enjoy Sakura while they eat, drink with cheerful feast.

Enjoying Hanami not only in day, but also in the night. Viewing Sakura in the night is called Yozakura. many decorative electrice lanterns are hung in the trees for evening enjoyment.


a form of ancient Hanami also still exist in Japan. where this kind of Hanami (enjoying the plum blossom) is populer among elder people. because it more calm than Sakura party, which usually involve younger people, that sometimes can be more noisy and crowded.

Ai Uta

GReeeeN_Ai Uta *my favorite love song ^^

(English Version)

"to the person I love most" Listen for a moment without laughing

Although saying "I Love You" is kind of corny

Those are the only words I can express

See? You're laughing at me again

I can't say if you were right to choose this path with me, but

Just being able to be next to you

As you laugh, and cry, and spend these days

Becomes my meaning in life

This song of love I dedicate to you

"Hey, what did we talk about that day?"

We acted like strangers the day we first met

After that, a lot happened..and at times, we even fought

We spent that time in order to understand each other
