FAVORITE SONG!

Everything's Alright - Laura Shigihara
Written by : Kan. R Gao





Lyric :

Short steps, deep breath
Everything is alright
Chin up, I can't
Step into the spotlight
She said, "I'm sad,"
Somehow without any words
I just stood there
Searching for an answer

When this world is no more
The moon is all we'll see
I'll ask you to fly away with me
Until the stars all fall down
They empty from the sky
But I don't mind
If you're with me, then everything's alright

Why do my words
Always lose their meaning?
What I feel, what I say
There's such a rift between them
He said, "I can't
Really seem to read you."
I just stood there
Never know what I should do

When this world is no more
The moon is all we'll see
I'll ask you to fly away with me
Until the stars all fall down
They empty from the sky
But I don't mind
If you're with me, then everything's alright
If you're with me, then everything's alright

Behind the Song :

This song is and official soundtrack of a RPG game called "To the Moon". The game is mostly about woman with Asperger's Syndrome, and the relationship she has with her husband. In the game, she is dying of cancer and trying to bring comfort to him, but can't find the words to do so due to her lack of social understanding. But regardless, the two love each other deeply, and through that, some part of that rift is crossed.

Meaning : 

Maybe some of you just think that this is a common song. But i will say that this song is different. I think that it's like, a girl who people make fun of. No one understands her or what she dreams about. She finds someone who likes her and they fall in love. The line "She said 'I'm sad' somehow without any words." I think means that the person she loves is the only person who can understand her thinking and emotions. "He said, 'I can't, really seem to read you.'" I think means she's changing and her past has changed her, and he doesn't understand exactly what changed her. "When the world is no more." means that even in the worst times she trusts the person and "When the stars all fall down." Means that even when all hope is lost, when all her dreams are gone, she still is clinging on to what she wants, even when she is sad. "I'll ask you to fly away with me." means that she wants the person to stay with her, wherever she goes she wants the person she can trust, when all else fails. "What I feel, what I say, theres such a rift between them." means that even she doesn't really understand why she has so much trouble. And if you play the game, you will know what does it feels to be like that. When you play the game, you feel like you're in the game as the character. And when you hear this song, you will start crying.

Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena is a week of a sports competition in my school, which is 3 Senior High School Bandung. This event was held on the 28-30 of February 2016 and will continue in around the 31 March - 2 April 2016. There was many of sports that contested in this event. Futsal, Basketball, Dodgeball, Badminton, Volley, Tug of war, Relay, and a traditional game that named Gobak Sodor.

Every class, should have their own jersey and they have to wear it in the event. This event was opened by our headmaster, Mr. Encang in the morning of the 28th February. Sadly, 2 weeks before the event, I was stricken with typhoid and dengue fever and I just recovered 2 day before the event begin. So, I can't give my best for my class. The first type of sport that i contributed in was the relay. It was played on the running track in Bali Field, Every class must participate a send a team of 4 people. Basically, the first person have to run and give the stick to the second runner and so on until the fourth runner. The first team to reach the finish win. I was the fourth runner and unfortunately, we lost. Congrats for the winner, but i forgot who was it. At the first round of knockout system, our class was doing pretty good. We had our basketball, volley, Tug of war, an Women's double badminton team that made their way into the second round.

The second and the third day i think was pretty bad. We lost our basketball team, tug of war team, and the women's double badminton and just leaving the volley team alone on the third round. And we lost the futsal team too which i was played in. I'm so sad. Why every time i participate in, my team always lost, But the futsal thing is not a big lost for me because, the situation was very difficult. We should have played the game of futsal at around 3 pm. But it was delayed because of the rain and we played the game at 5 pm with the very wet condition of the field. It was very slippery and we just lost 1-0. I think it's okay to lose when the condition is like that.

And the last thing, i hope my best for our volley team. We can win it!

Education for Better Future

Today, education is one of the most important aspects of our lives. Education is to determine the future direction of our lives. No wonder if now, everyone is chasing the highest education that they can reach. The problems in our education lies primarily in the education system that does not match the capabilities of each person. It should be noted that every person has a different interest, talent, and potential. So it is necessary to develop an appropriate educational system begin from childhood.

Other problems are the high levels of stress due to children who are thinking and pursuing education, whether it be from a child's will itself or will the parents. Many children who are already burdened with learning from a young age which is from kindergarten. This caused the children to lose their joy which is their playing time. Education is very important for the future of the children, but remember that children have their own pleasure, and spoil his fun, directly or indirectly, are just really going to make the childrem weighed and increase the stress level of the child. Then apply a fun learning is the best thing for the children who were still in kindergarten. Insert these lessons in a game that is loved by children. Not to forget also, enter a moral message that good in the game. By doing so, the child will feel happy and not burdened with learning itself.

The higher the education level, the lessons will become increasingly difficult and boring for students. This is is felt by most students who are in junior high and high school. The first issue that arises is the students are required to master all of the material being taught. In fact, every student has different interests. An example is that every student is given the demands for control of 12 subjects taught to him, even though he is only interested in one of these subjects, causing the student learning becomes lazy and ineffective. So it would be better if the student is be led to lessons he interested early on that since junior high. Then the students will find it reduced the burden of learning and make it more concentrated on what he was interested in the job for one day, is not required of people who mastered all the subjects.

In this globalization era, a lot can be done to facilitate learning, one of which is by implementing e-learning. Some schools are already implementing it but not all. By implementing e-learning, the access to learning will be easier and easier for the students. I am sure, all students now own a smartphone and what harm in applying this learning system? All it takes is training for the teachers to master e-learning. That way, the learning is done can take place efficiently. An example is learning by video call. it can save time and can be done anywhere and anytime. Do not dwell only within the school.

But, do not forget the most important aspect of learning is attitude. Each learning must be pasted moral learning. If you are a very intelligent person but had a bad attitude, then you are useless. Attitude is the most important aspect. So a good learning must be balanced with a good moral lesson anyway, because in fact, the attitude that determines our future. Remember, knowledge is power but character is more.

Unique Architecture

The Colosseum

The Colosseum is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built and is considered one of the greatest works of architecture ever. Amphitheatre is an open air venue used for entertainment, performances, and sports. It was built in 2000 years ago. The Colosseum can hold 50,000 - 80,000 spectators. It was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, and dramas based on Classical mythology. 

The Colosseum today is now a major tourist attraction in Rome with thousands of tourists each year paying to view the inner of the Colosseum. There are some parts of the buildings are already crumbling. It happened because the building is old and feeling the effects of earthquakes. Although it is not perfect again but the remaining part of the building which I think looks beautiful even in the presence of such damages.Shows that are popular that day was Gladiator. Gladiator is a show that featured a strong man. He could have fought with others in the Colosseum, or the conquest of the animals are like lions. People really enjoy the show at the time. Now, the Colosseum is not used anymore for actionable fight, but became one of the main tourist destination in Italy besides of visiting Pisa Tower. 

I really like the structure of the building. Maybe it gives the example to all the stadium in the world today. It has oval shape and seats for spectator around the center of the building. It looks like the football stadium but the classic one. I really want to visit this amazing architecture. It looks amazing with the view. The interesting things that now, the Colosseum looks like the old man watching Italy evolving in this modern time. Colosseum as a witness Italy development over time. The modern busy Italy with the Old Colosseum as the background. Cute

Holiday!

My Last Holiday

My last holiday was very good. I love it. But, I feel that the holiday was not long enough. The holiday started from the 24^th of December until the 10^th of January. I spent my first week of the holiday in my house. I just spent a lot of time playing computer games. Maybe, at least I sat in front of my computer for 10 hours a day. I played a lot of online games with my old friend. The only thing that I did outside my house was playing basketball with Ghanes and Najmi at Saparua and after that I watched Star Wars with my old friend.

After the boring first week of holiday, I finally went somewhere. I went to my counsin’s house in Semarang. But, no one went with me there. I went there by myself. I went by train. No one could accompany me because my parents still work at the holiday. After arrived at Semarang, I still did nothing there but playing games. The first day in 

Semarang was at the 31^st of December. I spent the whole day played games with some of my cousins. Because of that day was the last day in 2015, at the night, I with cousins went to hunt some fireworks. I went to Marina Beach. It was very crowded. We didn’t expect that the place would be that crowded. But it was okay. The fireworks was fantastic. I loved it very much. After the firework party, I went home and arrived at maybe 2 o’clock because traffic jam was everywhere. 

I was at Semarang for 5 days. My cousin drove me to some of good place in Semarang such as Lawang Sewu, etc. Every night there, Me and my cousin always ate outside his house and search for some food. And the rest of the time there, I just played games with my cousin. It was like I just change the place to play game. Before, I played in my house. Then, I went to Semarang to play game too. So, nothing really special.

After 5 day in Semarang, I finally went back home by plane. And after I arrived home, I went back to my computer desk and played some games again. What an end of a story. I feel that this holiday was very very boring. Everyday, I just played some games, watched TV, played some games again, watched TV again. I don’t know. Everyday I get bored. But I feel that I need more holiday and this is not enough :).

My School Life

It has been around 4 months I went to this school. 3 Senior High School. 4 months that have change my life, Small step to go bigger. My school's habit have changed my habit too. When i was at the junior high school, homework is not many.But now, the homework is very much. Almost everyday i need to do and solve my homework and problems. It it makes me have to manage time very well and maximize the time available. Sleep time was reduced after high school. Apart from having to do a lot of homework, I also had to learn lessons for the next day. These habits are very different from those in junior high school that makes me have to adapted well. Day after day, I finally could adapt with the situation and now i'm happy.

Besides just learn school lesson, I followed some other activities that are not related to school but still be in a school environment that is extracurricular. Initially I and other students know information about extracurricular from seniors who then shows, and promote extracurricular. By that point I was interested in one extracurricular namely Speed (voice students debate 3). It is extracurricular which contains a collection of people who are interested in public speaking. There are three divisions in SPeD which division public speaking, debate, and Rhasta. I was interested in the division of the debate because I think it's exciting to debate with other people in good ways.

Now, I participate three extracurriculars which are BeltiungMuda3 ( Football ) has scheduled every Friday and Saturday afternoon. MK3 ( Classical Instrument ) has scheduled every Tuesday and Saturday (I follow the guitar division). While SPED have no schedule yet. Because for me and friends who follow SPeD still in the stage of basic education. Every Friday, BM3 exercise held at 3:30 pm in the Supratman Field that is located in Supratman Street and in front of my old school, 14 Junior High School. And Saturday the exercise held at 4 pm in the Bali Feld at Bali Street near my school.

I enjoyed my activities in this school very much. Besides I learn school lesson, I can develop my talent and hobbies with my friends.
