23. Reformation of The Rhino!

Recently, i went to library. When i waited my friend to borrow the book, i found a book which attract me a lot. The title is very attractive so i immediately took the book. The title is “Negeri Badak Sebuah Prosa Lirik”. I was very curious because i never read prose before. I want to know how the prose look like. When i read the first chapter, i immediately liked that book. It was not like the prose which i imagine. The language is very easy to understand and the most important there are many humor in that book. Eventhough the book actualy is nonfiction book but the background is about the disturbance in Mei 1998.

Like the title, the main character in this book is rhino who are lived in Ujung Kulon. The story line is told about the long journey of the 25 rhinos. They want to freedom. They want to live in the place which are wider than Ujung Kulon. So they arrange a planning to sue the independence from Indonesian goverment. But getting the independence, actually, is not as easy as they think. They have to face many obstacle.

The first, they have to face the one of conglomerat in this country. He wants to collect the rhino in his yard. He does many way to bring the rhinos to his house. Then, he injects the rhinos with a liquid which can make them such as a statue. Because rhinos is one of them animals which are protected, this news also spread to all of corner in this country. The, the goverment ask for the paranormal to search them. The paranormal says that the rhinos is in the conglomerat house but not for their soul.

Their soul begin to expedite their plan for freedom. The first, they kidnap Indonesian president to sue their freedom. Then, they also kidnap the minister. After that they discharge all of political prisioners to help them to get the freedom. Because there are not president and minister, this country become uncertainly. It is used by rhinos to get their freedom. They discharge all of animals in zoo. Because of that, all of the animals roam in the road. And finally this captical city has already controlled by the rhinos.

Actually their plan to get the freedom has already achieved but they feel that this freedom is very empty. They do not know what should they do after this freedom and they are very uncomfortable with this situation. Formerly, they think that if they can controlled all of Java island is very delightful. They can live in a place which wider than Ujung Kulon but actually it is not. Java especially Jakarta has already changed. There are not forest or swamp to wallow in mud anymore. Finally they decide to back to Ujung Kulon. Eventhough that place is very small but they are more comfortable live in there.

This book is very interesting because there are many humor. The writer can combine humor and derision for this country very well. There are many derision in this book which can make us wake up. This book gives us the message that the independence will be felt very hollow if we do not know how to fill the independence and what should we do after we get the independence. Even tough this book is very good but not everybody can read this book because there are many words that are very vulgar. But overall this book is very interesting.

22. The Wheel

Today, i read one articel in one website about motivation. That articel is very impressed me. the story is about the wheel. Because i think that articel is very good to motivate people so i will write the articel in here.

One time, there is a wheel that lost one of his fingers. He looked sad. Without full fingers, of course, he can no longer run smoothly. This occured when he drove too fast as it passed through the forest. In the rush, he forgot, there is a radius that fall and released. Now the wheels were confused. Where about in search of his body parts? The wheels were turning. He returned along the traces that he ever left. Slowly, he walked those roads. One by one he pay attention. Every object in the observed, and take a look, hoping he would find the radius of the missing. Met back the grass and weeds. She went back to the flowers in the middle of the desert. Revisiting ants and small insects on the street. And passed again all the stones and marble pebbles. Hey ... everything looked different. Yes, as the wheel crossed the small dots. Overall, it appears normal, and not special.

But now, everthing looks more beautiful. The grass and weeds, greeted him with a friendly look. They now no longer only in the form of rigid rods. They were smiling, waving calm, swaying and greet. The ends of the grass, rub gently on the side flowers looked more beautiful, fragrant, and more refreshing. Bud-bud that opens, displaying a bright face. Petals that grow, dancing, cheering as if at the whell. The wheel was stunned and stopped for a moment, the flower was ducked, giving the salute. Slowly, resumption of his journey. Now, ants and small insects, ranging line up, and provide the most festive greeting. Their feet clapping, sounding a festive gaiety. The wings were quivering, as thought there are thousands of gendering that in percussion. They greet each other. And, the insect was giving greetings, and prayers at the wheel. Similarly, stone and marble pebbles, luster is present, it appears different when viewed from the eyes of hurry. They are more beautiful, and eac side stone emits a shady sheen. No more sides and sharp edges from stone and marble, paving the way, giving the opportunity to continue the journey. After a long walk, finally, the discovery of the lost fingers. The wheel was having fun. And he promised, would not be in a hurry and going too fast in performing their duties.

Many lessons can we take from the story. We often act like the wheels that run too fast. We often forget, there are good times will be missed at every opportunity. There are many little thins that really fun, but we missed because of hasty and hurry. Our heart, sometimes, too full of targets, which makes our live in doubt and restlessness. The steps we are, sometimes always in a state of panic and forget that all around us so many lessons that need to be in the field. Like when the wheels which forgot on the grass, weeds, ants, and marble, we actually are oblivious to these things. Friends try to tace back our streets. Observe and note wevey single thing that we have ever passed. Trace back to our trip.

21. My Mischievousness

When you were a kid, i think you have made a mischief surely. So do i. So, i want to share my story about my mischievousness when i was in high school. I know at that time, you are no longer a kid, but at time i often made a mischief with my friend.

When i was at 1^st grade, i ever asked to make a statement book. Even i had to make them until 6 book for a year. I have to write “i will no repeat this act again” full one book. One of the reason why i have to write it because i and all of my friend did not come to the class. We have promised to not come to the class because that day we did not study, we only have to attend class meeting. So, we did not come to school. Actually when we come at school on the next day, my teacher waited ys in front of the class. So, we were given that punishment but that was not as big as my mischief when i was 3^rdgrade. At that moment, i was 3^rd grade and it was only about 3 months before i have to take the national final examination. I and my friends were asked to meet my vice principal. I wondered why i have to meet him. When i already have met him, i know that i already have made a mischief again. All of my teacher have known that we have made a group “14 haters” (my school name is SMK 14) in facebook. My vice principal said that we had to prepare a lawyer because they want to report this problem to police. When i heard that, i was very sad and worry. What should i say to my parents? I did not know what should i do at that time. After one week, actually my teacher did not report this to police. One of my teacher said that it was only threat from my vice prinsipal. She said that we did not need to worry and stayed focused on the national final examination.

I know that michief has been run through the limit, so i was very regret doing that. But at one side, i am very thankful that i have ever experienced this, because i can have such a good memory which i can share to my friend and even to my children in the future. Like many people said, years of high school is the most enjoyable times and many good memories. I also think like that.

20. Wedding Dress Movie

I like watching movie to spend my time. I like horror, comedy, or comedy romantic. However i did not watch Indonesian movie much. Because i think now a days Indonesian movie does not make sense even the title. So i did not watch Indonesian movie much. I prefer to watch Korean or Japan movie. There is a Korean movie which impress me so much. The title is Wedding Dress.

The movie is told about a single mother who lives with her little daughter. She is a wedding dress designer. Her child is quiet introvert. She has not friend at school. Until one day she know that her mother suffered from cancer. Her mother never tell her about her disease in order not to make her daughter sad. Actually her daughter has already known about that but in order not to make her mother worry, she pretend taht she has not known yet. At her mother last, she wants to do anything which can make her mother happy. She begin to make a friendhip at the chool and she begin to attend ballet school because her mother wants to see her performace in the stage for the first and last time. Her mother also wants to make her daughter happy. So, she begins to make a beautiful wedding dress for her daughter. She wants to confirm that her daughter can appear beautifully at her wedding day even though she never can see it.

This movie is one of the best movie which i have ever seen. The story line always stuck in my mind. When i watched this movie for the first time, i cried a lot. This movie is very touching. When i was watching this movie, i always was imagining what should i do if i am as her daughter. This movie also teaches us to strive happy people we love. This is the best movie i think.

19. The Importance of Learning From An Early Age

Education children under age five years most important and the life of someone could determine. Under five years of age (toddlers) is the age of the most critical or most decisive in the formation of character and personality. Including also the development of intelegence, almost all occured in under five years of age. If someone has already become a thief or a criminal, then the university education for people, it may be regarded not mean anything. As well as the bamboo tree, after it is old, it is hard to bent. So that clearly children education is very important because children under 5 years had a remarkable intelligence and could provide child preparation to face the days ahead, the closest is facing the school.

Children under five years have a latent intelligence (potential intelligence) is remarkable. But in general, parents and teachers can only teach the little things for children. Children have a curiosity and exceptional ability to absorb information very high. Most people do not recognize and understand the ability of “magic” that exists in children. They can only say, “I know children learn faster”, but they do not know how quickly children can learn. Due to limited knowledge and skills of parents and teachers so that there is tremendous potential in everychild are wasted. Therefore Education Pre-School and Kindergarten should not be considered trivial and ignored.

In early children education, children are taught the basics of how to learn. Of course, at an early age, they will learn its foundations. They are taught in a way that they know, that is through play. But not just play, but play directed. Through directed play, they can learn a lot, how to socialize, problem solving, negotiation, time management, conflict resolution, are in large group/small, social obligations, and 1-3 language. Because through play, children do not feel compelled to learn. While playing, the child’s brain was in a state of calm. When clam, the education can enter and embedded. In early children education institutions are good, kids will learn to become an independent person, socialize strong, confident, have a great curiosity, could take ideas, develop ideas, go to another school and ready to learn, quick to adapt, and enthusiasm for learning. Meanwhile, children who do not receive enough education at an early age, will slow to accept something.

But still there are some parents in Indonesia who think that early children education does not really matter because they think that education which are more important is formal education in school like elemantary school. This opinion is not reasonable sice early children education is very important. Children who do not receive appropriate early children education, would like a car that no gas leak. Children who are educated early age appropriate to have a full tank, the machine will almost immediately once, he is on a new place. While children who have no education at an early age will have difficulty to starting the engine, so slow.

In conlcusion, early children education is very important because children under the age of 5 years have a level of intelligence that is extraordinary and can teach childern to learn as early as possible.

18. Psychological Impact of Communication Technology

Along with the development of civilization and technological development, can not deny that the current media telecommunication is growing rapidly. Perhaps the development of communication technology will be faster than the development of transportation technology. As an example, the development of handphone, internet, television and other communication technologies will be faster than the developments of cars and so forth. Everyone, now, would have mastered the technology. Although many of the benefits gained from the development of technology but there are also disadvantaged of this technological developments is the increased individual space and the increased of crime.

The first reason is that increased individual space. Individual space is the increasing space individual has obtained information through a sophisticated communications media, such as the internet. People will prefer to sit in front of the computer surfing rather than socializing with other people in the real world. They prefer to sit for hours in front of the computer than to socialize with the outside world. Whereas if the can socialize with the outside world, they would have learned a lot compared to just sit at the computer. Thus, the social space will be narrowed and displaced by the individual space.

The next reason is the increasing criminality. If wee see a TV show or movie information about the crime with the advanced mode then this is actually an inspiration for others offenders. The process mimics tis crime shows that are recognixed as modeling the behavior of crime. As an example the time of the arrest of three terrorists in Jakarta. Turned out after the probe, they are not the people who are trained to make bombs like the terrorits earlier. They claim to be able to make a bomb just by looing on the internet. Therefore, if we look at modes of crime in cyberspace (the internet) is emerging as though it is easy to commit a crime which is assisted by high-tech communication media.

But many people say that the current communication technologies are needed. Although true communication technologies are needed right now but if we take advantage of with a good result will not be excessive. There is a saying “if we are too much in any case, the results we get will not be good”. So it is good if we are not too dependent on communications technology.

In conclusion, although there are benefits of communications techonology but if we use too much the results are not going well as rising crime and increased individual space.

17. Indonesia Culture Must Start Guarded

Indonesia is a diverse country. A multicultural nation, many cultures that spread from west to east. National culture that characterizes as a particular nation. As citizens who live in Indonesia, now we should have to think that Indonesian culture has to begin to be kept. Why the Indonesian culture have to be mainteined? There are several factors that led to the Indonesian culture must be maintained. Among them, many people who do not know their own culture. Cultural diversity that exist in Indonesia, more causes people to lazy to find out even to know it. So no wonder if there are people who do not know about the Indonesian culture. In fact, they had a strange and wonder if they see Kecak dance or listen a Soleram song. Because never knew and did not ever want to know.

Not only that, globalizations or modernization that occurred in the world today has a major influence on the preservation of Indonesian culture. Through the modernization of culture with foreign culture can easily enter Indonesia. And it is not surprising, we can see clearly from several media, foreign cultures have penetrated widely into all corners of this country. Foreign cultures was more easily cultured than the original culture that already exists. For example just in the way they dress, we are more likely to follow the people out there for how to dress. With the entry of foreign culture and development to Indonesia to make local cultures eliminated. Not infrequently a lot of regional culture that no longer can be said to be raised or even disappear. Cultures of this region began to fade after the arrival of foreign cultures. Now a days, rarely we can see the puppet show directly or original Jaipong dance, because the dance Jaipong that we often see, already undergone many changes.

Indonesia is also has the younger generation was more like a foreign culture. They lack love their culture, and some even consider it cheesy. It appears that the younger generations is now more stylish. They are more like freedom without limits rather than limits norm. Music they listen is not again gising, karismen or tanjidor but the music that they listen is house music or DJ music, R&B, Hip-hop, metal and others. They are no longer like Jaipong dance, Kecak, or Pendet but they like modern dance, break dance, and others.

Therefore, it is time for us as a people in Indonesia in general and as an educated young generation especially, should start thinking to keep our culture. Because the culture of Indonesia is typical of the Indonesian people who become pride of the nation of Indonesia. Communities and governments are central actors in the process of preservation of national culture.

We should keep Indonesian culture, and we preserve our culture together. Do not lose our own culture. Let us together keep the culture of Indonesia not to get buried and only the history our children and grandchildren in the years to come. Let us together keep it!

16.Surprise Party

Yesterday was my friend’s birthday and today i and my friends are planning to give her a surprise party. We have made a cake by ourself. It is a strawberry cake because she really likes strawberry. But all of our planning was ruined. My friends had to take the cake at my friends’s home. They went by motorcycle but today the sun is very bright. So the cream and ice cream were melted. I am very sorry to her because the surprise party did not run succesfully.

Talking about surprise party, i also had an experience. When my 18^th birthday, my friends gave me a surprise party. They told me to wear Batik but when they came none of my friends wear Batik. They also told me to come to college at 10 o’clock but when i arrived none of them have come. Actually i already have got a feeling that i cheated by them. I did not tell them because i want to cheated them back. So in the whole, i pretended that i do not know anything and tried to angry with them. None of my friends dare to speak with me. when the class was over, my friends invited me to watch futsal match. Even though i already ignored them but they kept forcing me. finally i joined to watch futsal match with them. When the match finished, i and my friend went to praying. Then after that, my other friends brought a birthday cake and sang to me. even though i already have known but i am still shocked. After eating the cake, we went back at home. I am very happy and very thankful to them. It was my first time getting a surprise party. It was a memorable moment for me.

15. Taking English Course

Taking English Course is one of the best way if you want to improve your English skill. Like we know, now a days English become the most important things. Many parents wants their children to be a master in English so they start to put their children into English course as early as possible. Because in the school, English is usually taught only one hour a day and only 2 times a week and also too many students in the class so that learnig English in the school is less efective. So i think it is good if you put your children in English course because in English course you children can improve their English skill.

The first reason why you should follow English course is because usually in the school, English is taught only briefly. Because of the limited time at school and many other subjects besides English so that English lessons are taught only briefly at the school. And also in school, English is taught by regular teachers, while at the course they usually have native speakers. They usually have many native speakers are usually from U.S, U.K or Australia. I think better if we can learn directly from native speakers.

The second reason is that in the school, students in the classroom are too much so it would be slightly less efective if we learn English. Usually in the classroom there are about 30-40 students, but in the course are usually no more than 15 students. With fewer students, in my opinion, learning Englis would be far more effective. Because with a few students, teachers can pay more attention to his students one by one so that teachers can see students who do not understand and can directly be given extra lessons. Moreover, in my opinion, with a few students a learning atmosphere will be much more effective because it is not too crowded. So that students can study with full concentration.

But some people say that to take English course, we have to pay quite expensive. It is not wrong that to take English course we have yo pay more, especially for the course taht is already proven good. But i think if you want good at anything, you have to sacrifice first. If indeed you have to pay expensive but ou can really proficient in English, i think the sacrifice is not in vain. After all, now there are many English course, especially in Jakarta. With so many course, you have many choice to take English course but with a cheaper price. So i think the expensive price is not a reason to not take English course because what you get when you are finishing the course will be more valuable than money have you spend.

In conclusion, learning English in the course is more effective than just studying at school because in the course, the students are not as many as students in school, more study time, and also teachers are more professional.

14. Speaking English All The Time

You can be a less sociality person, if you can not speaking English. Now a days, English language is vey important because almost all of the people and communication tools use English. If you want to use Computer or Internet, you have to know at least in basic English. Because of that, it is good if you can speak English all the time.

The first reason reason why you have to speak English all the time is it can improve your speaking skill. Like we know, now English be the most important thing. It can be seen if you want to apply a work application, in requirements must be written “You have to good in English written and oral”. It is proved that now a days you have to have English skill, if you want to have a good job. One way to be able to speak English fluently is you have to speak English all the time. If you can speak English all the time, you can be used to speak in English. There is a proverb saying that “ experienced is the best teacher”. So, if you have experienced to speak English, you absolutely can speak English fluently and can improve your speaking skill.

Entering the era of globalization or better known as the free market requires every individual to prepare resources that are reliable, especially in the fields of science and technology. To be able to master the technology required by both adequate knowledge so that we can use it in the face of a globalized world demands that the terms of competition. In this case the role of English is needed both in controls and communication technology to interact directly. As a means of global communication, English should be actively controlled by both oral and written. It is not impossible that te rapid technological developments require us to be more proactive in responding to global information flows as an assets in meeting the needs of the market. As the world’s lingua franca, English is not only as an academic requirement for mastery of knowledge is limited to aspects of language but as a global communications medium. You might think that many sites are translated into Indonesian. But in fact, 80% of electronis information is only available in English. While 20% of the others was not entirely dominated by Indonesian, but also non-English foreign language, like Chinese, Japanese, French and so forth. So imagine just how many percent of all information on the internet are presented in the Indonesia language. So, if you know the global information, you have to be master in English. How to be a master in English? I think the best way is you have to used speak English all the time.

However some people said that, if you used English in daily life there are many people who likes to tease us. Actually we want to practice our English skill. But the environment is not support us and also there are more friends who ridicule us if we use English. Because we are ridiculed and then we will be down and lazy to use English. I think that if there is a person who ridicule you because you use English, you do not have to think about that. They do that because usually they are envious with us because we can use English in daily life bravely.

In conclusion, we have to be master in English if we want to have a good job and follow global socialitation. The best way if want to be a master in English is we have to speak English all the time.

13. Smoking

Each year, there are approximately double the number of tobacco-related deaths than there are deaths from alcohol, car accidents, AIDS, suicide, crack, heroin, fires, and homicide combined. Each time you inhale cigarette smoke, whether intentionally or not, it means also suck more than 4000 kinds of toxins. Therefore, smoking the same by including the toxins were into the coral cavity and lungs of course. Smoking harm the health, that fact is can not deny. Many diseases have proven to be harmful effects of smoking, either directly or indirectly. The smoking habit is not only detrimental to the smoker, but also for those around. Therefore, i strongly agree with banning smoking discourse to all people.

There is no advantages from smoking. Because of smoking can cause very serious maladies. Serious illness caused by smoking cigarettes include pneumonia, emphysema, stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and other cancers, including cancer of larynix, bladder, and esophagus. Some other health problems that cigarettes can cause include bad breath or halitosis and anxiety problems. The financial ramifications of smoking are dire as well. Many of illness, such as cancers, heart, and respiratory disease, associated with smoking, may cause one to need long term care, which is very expensive. A smoker is not likely to find healt insurance, as smoking is considered a health risk. The cost of purchasing cigarettes is very high as well. So many losses caused by smoking is not only a health issue but also detrimental to financial problems.

As i said above that smoking not only hurt yourself but also effects others around us. Inhaling someone else’s cigarette smoke is more dangerous than smoking itself. Even the dangers which must be borne passive smokers are three times more than the dangers of active smokers. As much as 25 percent of the hazardous substances contained in cigarette smoke enter the body, while 75 percent free air circulating in the risk of the entry body of people around him. The concentration of harmful substances in the body of passive smokers is greater because the poison is sucked through the cigarette smoke of active smokers are not filtered. While cigarette toxins in the body of active smokers filtered through the end of cigarettes smoked. Toxins produced by largest tobacco smoke billowing from the tip of the cigarette is not inhaled. Because the smoke produced form burning tobacco that is not perfect. Thus, if you smoke then you are not only damaging your body but also damage the body of the people around you.

Many of the reasons people do not want to stop smoking even though they know that smoking is dangerous and very bad for health. One of which is to relieve stress and can be relaxing.many people claim that cigarettes help them cope with stress. In fact, tobacco is a stimulant and will not help you relax. Smokers may think that cigarettes help them feel better. Indeed when you smoke, nicotine addiction meets the body against toxic substances.

In conclusion, there is no advantage that you can get from smoking. Due to smoking, you are damaging your body with a variety of toxins. Besides that you also have damage the body of the people around you who are not guilty. Although many smokers who think that smoking can relieve stress but it is not. They are simply are too addicted to cigarettes, so if they do not smoke, they feel uneasy. So, let us support along with the prohibition of smoking.

12. My Childhood

The child is the father of man. Childhood is the foundation of manhood. These are very important years. The impression and experiences of childhood are forever. They mould and shape our life. It is the golden period of life. It is the best period without cares and worries. Then there are no distinctions of the rich and the poor, high and low castes. It is a kingdom full of fun, frolic, equality and innocence. Really we are close to God in our childhood. The childhood cannot be forgotten. When I try to recall my childhood days, many memories comes rushing. They over whelm me with their intimacy, beauty and wonder.

Actually my childhood is not too different like other child. I like playing dolls, rope jumping, and running with my friends. I have many friends in my childhood. I like to make friends with anyone even boys or girls. But almost all of my friends is older than me. I also like to play with my brother. But one day, there is an incident when i play with my brother.

I was about 6 years old at that time and my brother was about 12 years old. That day, my brother incited me to play bycycle with him and his friends. Because i could not ride bycycle, he gave me a ride. I was too young at that time so i did not know where he took me. i remember that i left home at the morning and at noon we had reached our destination. I really did not know where that place. I was very afraid at that time. I was very afraid with my parents if they knew that we played too far. At the afternoon, finally we went back to our home. And when we arrived at home, my parents were very angry with us. They scolded to us why we had to play too far. They especially were very angry with my brother. They scolded to my brother why he took me along to play. My father even almost hit my brother. At that time, i was very sad and i cried very loud.

At the next day, i was very sick because maybe i was too tired. And finally my parents were no longer angry with us. They just advised us to not play too far in the future. Since that time, i promised that i promised that i will no longer too far and will continue to follow the words of my parents. It was one of the most memorable incident for me.

11. My Sweet Room

My room is not too large because my house is also not too large. In my house there are 3 rooms in the first floor and 1 room in the second floor. And my room is in the first floor beside my parents room.

My room is not too large so there are not much furniture in my room. Its color is pink. Actually it is not my choice but my father choice. Whereas i want to colored my room with blue because i prefer blue than pink. And my bed is beside the door and my bed is not big. It is a single bed. Actually in the past, it is a double bed because at the past, i slept with my sister. But after my sister got married, i have to sleep alone and my father change my bed. In my bed, i have 2 pillows, 2 bolster, and 3 dolls.

Besides that, there is a fan in front of my bed. I can not sleep if the fan is not working. Like when the electricity was extinguished, i can not sleep because the fan is also not working. Beside the fan, there is a desk. There are many book in there such as novel, comic, and many textbook. There is also my lovely laptop in there but actually when i play laptop, i prefer to play in bed instead of in desk as well as to study. I prefer doing my task or reading in the bed instead of in the desk. Because my room is not too large so there is no cupboard in my room. My father put my cupboard under the stair.

I think that’s all the stuff in my room. Eventhough my room is not too large and not too nice but i am very happy in my room. I do almost all of my activities in my room, ranging from learning, reading, playing my laptop until to do do such a personal things. I am very comfortable in my room and i love my room.

10. My Very Valuable Lesson

21 May 2011

Now I think there are many people with internet addiction and i am one of them. I was very dependence on the internet and my laptop. And recently i got a very valuable lesson that relates to the internet and laptop. Now i want to share my story and i hope it also could be a lesson to others.

A few months ago, my modem pulse was out, then i had to buy my pulse again. Usually every purchase of pulse Rp 50.000, i get a bonus of unlimited internet for 2 weeks. But that time, the provider no longer provide a bonus. There is a bonus but limited to only 500 MB. As i said, i have dependence to the internet, so when i am browsing, i can not think of anything more, including bonuses modem. Because the bonus is usually provided up to 2 weeks, so i was quiet to browsing the internet. But i do not know why, when i was in college, i thought of my bonuses pulse. And i spoke in my hearts that later i would check the rest of my bonuses pulse when i am at home. And when i already have got home, my friend asked me to call the service operator provider. But actually my pulse was not enough to make a call. Then i thought, to call the service i only need Rp 100 while my pulse now is still Rp 80.000 but why i can not call the operator? After i checked actually my pulse that had been Rp 80.000 now only remaining Rp 1. I was very shocked to know that. I even had time to cry because i have to economize on spending my money only to buy the pulse, but now the pulse was gone just like that. Although i was very shocked when knowing about it but i get a valuable lesson. Now when i get a bonuses pulse, i will not wear a bonuses because i did not want such a thing happen again this time.

A few weeks later, i have an appoinment to meet with my old friend. Like me, she is also very fond of korean music. So when we met, we exchanged korean video and songs. We excanged a video using my friend’s flash disk. But at that time anti-virus in my laptop was not update. After i got home as usual i immediately opened my laptop. But i was very surprised because all of the applications on my laptop can not be used suddenly. Actually my laptop has been exposed to the virus so that all aplications on my laptop can not be used. I was very shocked at that time because that week i had a kot of course work. And as i said i was very dependent on my laptop so when my laptop was broken i was very bored because i could not do anything. But after that i got a lesson that we should not carelessly insert the flash disk into the lapyop because we do not know what is in the flash disk.

9. Wish For My English Letters Department

19 May 2011

Well, first of all i want to tell you how i can get in English Letters Department. Actually it was not my priority at all. At first i want to get in to Economic Department but i did not pass the test. So, i have to get in English Department.

At the first time i get in English Department, there is nothing special at this Department. The difference is only English Department has more student than other department in Adab and Humanity Faculty. Besides that, there is nothing special at this department.

Now, i have been here for about 2 years. I already feel and know all of the things in this department. Actually i am a little disappointed with this department because i think employess in this department works very slow, for example UAS value in 3^rd semester until now have not come out. Whereas it is very important. Many student can not apply their scholarship because their IP have not come. I think it is not proffesional. They are paid to serve the students, then they should work with professionals to serve students. I hope in the future, they can work seriously because for students, IP is paramount. They have studied seriously for 1 semester then it is natural they should know the results of their study as soon as possible.

Besides that, i think the leaders in this department is not open-minded. They feel what they charge is well, but not so the students, for example in the establishment of KKN. I think the head of department should be discussing this with students. Because I think for the English letters KKN system is not suitable. This department should more suitable with system of field work practices. Because of that system, we can practice the knowledge that we have got. So I hope in the future, the head of department and the lectures can be more open with students. We can talk to each other. Although I know that the head of department and the lectures must be more intelligent and experienced than the students but it never hurts to hear the aspirations of students.

8. My Imaginary Dinner

12 May 2011

Theme for today is if i have a chance to dinner with a famous person. Thinking about that already makes me very happy J. If i have a chance to dinner with a famous person, i want to dinner with Jung YongHwa. He is a vocalist of CN Blue, one of the best band in South Korea. I am his big fans. Firstly, i know him from Korean Drama. He plays in Korean Drama, You’re Beautiful. Actually at the first time i see him, my impression is just so-so. I admit he is handsome like other actor in Korea. But there is a scene that he is playing guitar and singing. When i see that scene i am very speechless. I like a guy who can play an instrument and can sing well. So, when i see him playing guitar and singing, at that time i am already falling in love with him. So, i begin to search his profil and i know that actually he is a vocalist band. I search his band music video and other song. When i hear his song, i think that there is another band from western with the name CN Blue because the song is in English and the music is very different from other korean song and also his pronounciation is very good. So, i think that is not korean song. But actually that is right, that is his song. At that time, i decided to become his big fans.

Actually i do not know exactly why i like him. Whereas, he is not too good-looking when you compared to other Korean artists. However, everytime i see him especially if he is at the stage, my eyes stuck on him. I think he has something that make you hypnotized when you see him. Maybe it is like a charisma. I think that he has such a great charisma so that i can not let my eyes leave him. I prefer like a man with charisma so than a man with handsome face because handsome face could be made for example with plastic surgery. And i think if you have only a handsome face, it can make you bored. However if you have a charisma, you can have an inner beauty that can make others eyes stuck on you even without any rasional reason. It happend to me, everytime i see him, i can stuck my eyes on him without any reason.

Besides that, he is not an ordinary musician, i think. He can play guitar, drum, piano and other basic instrument. And the most important is he also can make a song. I think, everyone can play music instrument easily but not everyone can make their own song.

If i have a chance to dinner with him, truthfully i want to go to Namsan Tower in Korea. At Namsan Tower, there is a restaurant which located at the highest place in the tower. I am sure it is very romantic having dinner at such of a place. We can see Seoul’s beautiful night. If it has to be in Indonesia, maybe i want to have dinner with him at Bali’s beach or Lombok’s beach. I am sure it is also very romantic. We are having dinner at the beach with the light of the moon and stars.

Like i said, he is a good musician and he can make a pretty good song. I want to see him playing a guitar and singing to me. I am very curious to listen him live. If it is possible, i want him to make a song special for me. It is absolutely great if there is someone who make a song special for you. After that we can chat each other. I want to hear him telling his life as an idol and all of his problems and all of the things that can he share with me. I am very curious how the idol’s life be. After that we can walk on the beach while we are talking about our life. The last, i think we can see the moon together on the beach. I think it is very great and romantic. I hope that it can be true. It has not having dinner with him, i only want to see his concert and see him with my own eyes. It is enough for me. I hope ....
