Dream It

Dream it

Dream it because it is free
Dream it because it costs you nothing
Dream it because it is effortless
Dream it because you can

Dream it so it is imaginable
Dream it so it exists
Dream it so you have it in your mind
Dream it so you know it is possible

Dream it so you can reach it
Dream it so you can achieve it
Dream it so you can say "this was my dream" when it finally comes true

My High School Achievement (Chick-Flick Recommendations)

Aloha again! Been a while since my last post. I've been meaning to post this before I finish high school, but I got lazy (not got busy, no), so yeah. And yes, I graduated! And so I'm going to post something about what I have achieved in my three years of high school. It's going to be a long list. And, no, I did not mis-title this post. Yep. That's my achievement. Chick-flicks. I have watched too much chick flicks throughout high school. So yeah actually, I achieved nothing in high school. I didn't take any course or activity out of school, or in school. So I have plenty of spare time after school. Therefore, I watch movies. And yes, cheesy romantic ones most of times. But instead of claiming that I have wasted my high school time (and to make my life less sad), I decide to call it an achievement. And to make it less wasted (what), I'm going to share my knowledge of chick-flicks by making this recommendation list of chick-flicks with various categories. And these are in a particular order, from my most fave in each category. 

Enjoy!

1) Girl Power

Classic chick flicks, the starter packs!

-Legally Blonde

Boom! The ultimate chick flick, hashtag girl power. Super inspiring!

Too fab! As if!

The classic.

-John Tucker Must Die
We all have this John Tucker in our lives, the guy who thinks he can get any girl. We'll see.

-The Devil Wears Prada

Who doesn't love transformation from geek to chic?

2) Unyaw

In love? Or long to be in love? Here's some overloaded cuteness!

-Flipped

Too cute! Too true! We all have that pre-teenage crush and this movie describes how it's never one-sided!

-Life as We Know It

Love+hate = 100% cuteness

-Two Night Stand
It's a really simple movie, but it gives good feelings. Something about the casts and their characters.

-Just Like Heaven

Young Mark Ruffalo! Hell yes!

-Definitely, Maybe

It's sweet but mostly, fun! Keepin' you guessing till the very end.

-Set It Up
The best partner you can have is your partner-in-crime.

-Stuck In Love

Well it's quite a lot going on in here but will make you taste both bitterness and sweetness of love

-When Harry Met Sally
Technically a vintage, but this one's timeless.

3) Hot Guys

You're welcome.

-Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Brad Pitt)

It's action, romance, comedy, Jolie, and Pitt. Can it get better?

-Chasing Liberty (Matthew Goode)

The ultimate cinlok movie.

-The Last Song (Liam Hemsworth)

Where Liam and Miley fell in love. How can we resist those abs, right, Miley?

-What's Your Number (Chris Evans)
The one's you've been looking for is always been right under your nose.

-Leap Year (Matthew Goode)

Pretty similar with Chasing Liberty. Matthew's only getting hotter.

-High School Musical 1-3 (Zac Efron)
Well I doubt any of you haven't watched these. We don't Wanna miss Zac's puberty.

4) Mbrebes Mili

Going through a break up? Feeling lonely? Crashed dreams? Or just want to cry for no reason? Gotcha!

-Perahu Kertas

Wow. This movie is my fave Indonesian movie. It's about dreams and love. It's quirky, it's genuine. Especially Perahu Kertas Part 2. Super inspiring.

-Begin Again

Another brilliance. It's indie, it's real. It brings so much emotion, about life and love.

-If I stay

The girl with too-charming estranged boyfriend is dying. How can we not cry?

-3 Dunia 2 Hati 1 Cinta

Cinta beda agama *Already crying*

-The Vow

The girl lost her memory and don't recognise her too-handsome faithful husband.

-One Day
But life, as always, happens.

-Midnight Sun
The one guy she's always been in love with finally says hi, just in time.

-You Are The Apple of My Eye

It's Chinese, about high school love. Seriously, tears.

-P.S I Love You 

The husband died and still send her letters. 

-A Walk to Remember

The badass guy fell for the geeky girl.

-Love and Other Drugs

Anne Hatheway has Alzheimer and Jake Gyllenhall is in love with her.

-50 First Dates

I cried too hard although it's funny.

5) Funny

Is under the label 'funny', but offers so much more than that.

-Friends with Benefits

Oh, yes!

-This Means War

Two FBI hotties chasing the same girl. If only we can handle too much fun!

6) Lonely Hearts
Just for y'all who's been alone for too long.

-The Duff
You know the one that people approach but not really the main target? Is that you?

-Bridesmaids
The woman is just so sad. Like you?

-27 Dresses
When you are always there making people happy but are you happy?

-Pretty Woman
You give everything but your heart. Like a prostitute. In this movie, Julia Roberts is an actual prostitute. Are you, too, a prostitute?

7) All in One
The most worth-while to watch. Will fill the empty hearts with all kinds of feeling. It's cute, sad, funny, encouraging, and hot guy is in it.

-Love, Rosie

This is like seriously, the bomb. Like, the casts, the story, and everything, is spot on. One hell of a movie to watch.

-10 Things I Hate About You

Another bombshell. It's a cool, Shakespeare-y kind of chick-flick. It has the general amount of cheese  just like in most chick-flicks, but yet, not cheesy at all!

-The Proposal
Why is the girl on her knee? Because this movie's so good she can't stand on her feet. (what) (please do watch)

-Ada Apa Dengan Cinta
It's a sin to not watch this movie!

-Crazy Little Thing Called Love
This girl is ugly af and has a crush on this hot guy who's totally out of her league and yet he checks her out anyway, will totally gives us all the hope that we need.

-He's Just Not That Into You

I think one of the best of those movies with a collection of linked stories. Every stories are memorable and in the perfect amount.

I'm running out of nice things to say these movies are just too great. Just. Watch. Them.

Hope this will help you guys in your unproductive days :)

The Clean-Up

Yet, the only thing we should seek in one.
.
.
.
The fact that you burn your cake, sucks. The fact that you have to wash your burnt tray, double sucks.

The fact of not succeeding, sucks. The fact that you have to clean up the mess you made after not succeeding, double sucks.


If you think suck is all there is in a failure, it might be true.
Because what we should be looking for in a failure, is in the clean-up.


The clean-up.

You may curse the recipe while washing the burnt tray.
You may blame the oven while washing the burnt tray.
You may find the over-caramelised batter that's burnt on the burnt baking tray.
You may realize you put too much sugar.
You may reduce the sugar amount next time.


The clean-up.

You may grump.
You may blame.
You may think.
You may evaluate.
You may learn.


The mess.

Is dirty, as well as it is juicy.

Quote of The Day? (When you need a motivational quote and this come up..... why)

Today's Lesson

Hello, there.

It's been a while since the last time I posted in this blog. I just finish my final test. I think I did pretty well. You know, I feel good about it, because I had prepared for it (knowing I have to catch up bcs I didn't do very well on mid test). But when the result came out............... well, well. Not quiet as I expected. Or should I say, it was bad. My scores are not below standard but are below my standard. Especially I felt confident about it. Hmmmm.

Well, this semester, I admit, is a little bit messy. There's many things going on and some of them are unexpected. In spite of those, I did already realize that I had to catch up on my scores, and did put efforts to it, and failed, Almost on every subject. "Why does this happen?", thus, I ask myself.

 I think it is pretty strange if I already put my best effort and still fail. Then I remember the almighty Allah SWT. Of course. Allah has cursed me. Not curse, maybe just, a friendly reminder that I have forgotten him, at times, Astaghfirullah. This is why. Maybe it's because I've been ignoring praying times, sometimes. That's what I figured.

Just tonight, I told my parents about my bad grades. They've never complained about my grades, unlike some other parents maybe. But tonight, they do HAHAHAHAHA. Just realize that my parents never complain about it because I never really get bad grades on entire subject. It is officially proved that all parents are the same when it comes to school grades. :)) They literally said "Nanti gak dapet undangan, lho" while I never really know if they expect me to get one. Now that I might just not get undangan because of the bad grades, they suddenly bring it up. Well, well................

Not really the point tho. I meant to write positive post so I'm gonna stop the negativity. So, beside that, my dad also give me evaluations. He said that I might have been off my head lately. I lost my focus and very lacking of time-management. He said my morning routine is a mess, and effects my whole day. OMG that's is, dad! God has cursed me because I'm ignoring praying time because I have bad time-management! Thanks for pointing it out for me!

Anyway, the whole point of the long uninteresting story above is how important evaluation is. Self evaluation, and other people's response are important to make progress. Now that I know I have time-management issue, I will manage my time better. But I would not know what should I fix if I don't evaluate myself and get evaluation from other, would I?

I think the teacher in my school should learn about the value of evaluation, too. After a really bad test, we don't get to know what we did wrong, We are left mistaken forever. Or even if we are curious about what we did wrong, some of them are not in the mood for discussion. NOT IN THE MOOD. Omg. When will we ever learn from our mistakes, dear teachers. Just because all of the studying ended by the test, doesn't mean the learning process is over. Evaluation is part of learning.

That's it. That's enough complaints for today. And that's the lesson for today: Evaluation. Yippie!

Just Covered A Song!

Kurikulum 2013 Dibekukan? Yay or Nay?

NYAY!!! lol

Well yeah, my reaction is nyay. I'm seriously at that thin line between satisfaction and disappointment. 

. 

.

So, Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan yang baru, Bapak Anies Baswedan memutuskan untuk 'membekukan' Kurikulum 2013, yaitu kurikulum cetusan Bapak Muhammad Nuh 1,5 tahun yang lalu. Sekolah yang baru menerapkan Kurikulum 2013 selama satu semester kembali menggunakan Kurikulum KTSP 2006, sedangkan sekolah yang sudah menerapkan Kurikulum 2013 selama 3 semester dibolehkan melanjutkan Kurikulum 2013, namun jika ingin kembali ke Kurikulum KTS 2006, bisa mengajukan ke Kemendikbud.

Well, not really everywhere anymore, for now, Buzz.

Kurikulum 2013 sempat menurai berbagai kontroversi karena ketergesaan kurikulum ini untuk diterapkan di seluruh sekolah di seluruh Indonesia. Karena ketergesaan itu menyebabkan pelatihan guru yang belum inetnsif dan maksimal, sarana dan prasarana seperti buku, yang belum terpenuhi, serta kagetnya siswa, guru, dan pihak orangtua karena sosialisasi yang belum merata. 

Despite the bad execution, we cannot deny that the idea of this curriculum is terrific. Jika sudah paham apa sebenarnya Kurikulum 2013 ini, kita bisa tahu bahwa kurukulum ini adalah kurikulum yang memandang jauh ke depan. Kurikulum ini ingin menghasilkan anak-anak bangsa yang religius, berinetgritas, terampil, open-minded, serta kritis. Kita tidak lagi menelan rumus, menghafal teori. Namun kita dibimbing untuk membuahkan ide atau kesimpulan di setiap diskusi tentang materi pelajaran. Bukan hanya diberitahu bahwa permen itu terbuat dari gula, tapi merasakan bahwa permen itu manis, dan menyimpulkan bahwa yang manis itu terbuat dari gula, berarti permen terbuat dari gula.

Sekolah saya termasuk yang sudah menerapkan Kurikulum 2013 selama 3 semester. Sekolah saya juga merupakan sekolah percontohan Kurikulum 2013 sehingga pelaksanaannya sudah lumayan sesuai. Saya merasakan sendiri perbedaan belajar dengan Kurikulum 2006 dan dengan Kurukulum 2013. Contohnya pada pelajaran matematika. Sebelumnya kami hanya diberitahu rumus-rumus untuk menyelesaikan masalah di soal. Namun, di Kurikulum 2013, kami dibimbing untuk menemukan rumus-rumus tersebut atau paling tidak membuktikan rumus-rumus. Hal ini memakan waktu cukup lama sehingga materi yang bisa diselesaikan dalam 2 pertemuan jadi harus 3 pertemuan. Lalu menjelang UAS karena materi yang belum dibahas masih menumpuk, kami diberi daftar rumus-rumus. Dan reaksi saya dan teman-teman saya: "Bu itu rumus dapet dari mana, Bu?"

Lalu suatu hari kami diberitahu bahwa akan diadakan ulangan harian sejarah, namun gurunya sedang tidak ada, dan ulangan open-book/boleh menggunaka internet. Girang-lah kami, para siswa. Lalu saat soal dibagikan, hanya ada 7 nomor essay. Essay beneran. Contoh soalnya begini: Apa yang kamu ketahui tentang Volksraad? Apa peran Volksraad dalam perjuangan kemerdekaan Indonesia? Bandingkan dengan dewan rakyat saat ini! Satu nomor setengah halaman. 7 nomor paling melelahkan dalam hidup saya. Soal analisis seperti itu yang membuat saya ngeh "Ini dia Kurukulum 2013-nya". Dan walaupun lelah, saya merasa saya memutar otak saya untuk mengerjakan 7 soal tersebut WALAUPUN open-book. Saya merasa saya belajar, saya berpikir, bukan hanya menjawab dengan jawaban yang 'seharusnya' saya jawab.

Ya, kembali lagi. Saya merasa keputusan Pak Mendikbud ini tepat untuk sekarang. Dengan alasan kurikulum ini belum di evaluasi dan persiapannya kurang mantap, saya rasa membekukan kurukulum ini adalah keputusan yang baik. Dengan menelaah ulang dan kemungkinan memperbaiki kurikulum ini, diharapkan bisa diadakan persiapan yang mantap bila nantinya kurikulum ini akan di unfreeze. (Please just give it a little finishing touches then unfreeze it, Pak. Do not back off. This is a great one, U know it)

Lantas, apakah ketergesaan pemberlakuan Kurikulum 2013 merupakan keputusan yang kurang bijak dari Pak Mohammad Nuh? Well you might think that this is a very unthoughtful decision he made, but, I think he thought deeper. Mungkin beliau sudah tahu bahwa pengganti beliau akan membekukan atau bahkan memberhentikan kurikulum yang ditetapkannya. The thing is, dia mungkin percaya bahwa Kurikulum 2013 sangat baik dan tepat untuk mengubah sistem pendidikan Indonesia ke arah yang lebih baik sehingga penggantian kurikulum ini dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang urgen. Ia ingin kurikulum ini diberlakukan di Indonesa, namun, dengan masa jabatannya yang tinggal 1,5 sampai 2 tahun lagi, ia tahu ia tidak mungkin menerapkannya dengan mulus melewati tahap persiapan, evaluasi, dan sebagainya. Saya rasa penerapan yang dirasa memaksa ini dimaksudkan untuk memberi statement bahwa kurikulum ini penting untuk diterapkan di Indonesia. Sehingga cara yang memungkinkan adalah 'memaksakan' pemberlakuan Kurikulum 2013 itu tersebut agar Mendikbud berikutnya at least notices kurikulum tersebut beserta urgensinya. Maybe the person we dislike the most today, the creator of 2013 Curriculum, is the same person we thank 20 years later, for developing quality-generation

I think the ideas, visions, and missions of the curriculum is very promising. But yes, the execution is pretty bad. The decision to freeze it is very wise, but I do hope Mr. Anies Baswedan will do his magic and unfreeze it with everything prepared and under control. The curriculum is new hope for Indonesia, and I believe in it.

What do you think? Yay or Nay? (or Nyay?)

HIJAB V.S. AKHLAK

BERHIJAB TAPI BELUM BERAKHLAK MULIA atau BELUM BERHIJAB TAPI BERAKHLAK MULIA?

Saya percaya Islam adalah agama yang indah. Yang senantiasa menuju kepada kebaikan. Semua perintah-perintah dari Allah SWT tentulah mempunyai tujuan yakni untuk kebaikan manusia sendiri. Untuk menjadi petunjuk bagi manusia. Dan segala kebaikan pasti akan menggiring ke kebaikan-kebaikan lainnya.

 Saya sering membaca beberapa artikel atau pendapat-pendapat orang tentang jilbab dan akhlak manusia. Kebanyakan membandingkan tentang yang sudah berhijab tapi belum berakhlak mulia dengan belum berhijab tapi berakhlak mulia. Saya paling sering menemukan pendapat-pendapat yang intinya: "Kalau mau berhijab jangan cuma menutup aurat saja. Akhlaknya juga harus baik". Namun, setelah itu, muncullah pembelaan-pembelaan dari orang-orang yang rata-rata sudah berhijab: "Hijab dan akhlak itu dua hal yang berbeda. Jangan disamakan". Jujur, karena saya sudah berhijab, saya awalnya juga tidak terima dengan pendapat yang pertama. Saya merasa dituntut terlalu banyak. Usaha menutup aurat saja sudah merupakan sesuatu yang tidak mudah buat saya, eh, dituntut lagi harus berakhlak mulia. Seolah-olah kewajiban berhijab dan kewajiban berakhlak mulia jadi satu paket. Sehingga saya sempat berpegang teguh bahawa hijab dan akhlak adalah dua hal yang berbeda. Namun, beberapa bulan yang lalu, saya sempat berdiskusi dengan ayah saya. Dan hasilnya, percakapan tersebut cukup membuka pikiran saya.

 .

 .

 .

 "Kalau mau berhijab jangan cuma menutup aurat saja. Akhlaknya juga harus baik"

Apakah saya setuju dengan pernyataan tersebut? Jawabannya, ya.

 Dalam konteks ini, sebagai muslim/muslimah, kewajiban kita ada dua, yakni menutup aurat dan berakhlak mulia. Sebutlah ada seorang muslimah yang sudah berhijab namun akhlaknya belum sempurna bernama Flo. Kebiasaan buruk Flo adalah berbicara kasar kepada orang lain, misalnya. Dengan Flo memakai hijab, apakah ia berkewajiban mengubah akhlak buruknya itu? Jawabannya, ia sudah berkewajiban untuk mengubah akhlak buruk tersebut sejak ia mengetahui bawha hal tersebut ialah buruk. Lalu apa gunanya hijab?

 Level 1: Menutup aurat

 Level 2: Menaati perintah Allah SWT untuk menutup aurat

 Level 3: Menaati perintah Allah SWT untuk menutup aurat sehingga (insya Allah) senantiasa terjaga dan terdorong untuk melakukan kebaikan lainnya.

 Seperti yang saya sebutkan sebelumnya, segala kebaikan pasti akan menggiring ke kebaikan-kebaikan lainnya. Jika niat Flo dalam berhijab sudah sampai level 3, seharusnya Flo pun terdorong untuk menghilangkan akhlak buruknya. Namun, apakah mudah mencapai level 3? Tentu saja tidak. Menahan diri dari godaan untuk tidak menutup aurat saja sudah sulit. Namun hendaklah terus berusaha untuk memupuk niat sehingga dari berhijab dapat menggiring kepada kebaikan lainnya.

 "Agama ya agama. Perilaku ya perilaku. Agama urusan saya dengan tuhan, perilaku urusan saya dengan orang-orang di sekitar saya"

 Islam mengajarkan ada 2 nilai penting, yakni habluminallah dan habluminannas. Hubungan manusia dengan tuhannya dan manusia dengan sesama manusia. Jika habluminallahnya baik tapi habluminannasnya tidak, apakah bisa mendapat surga? Tidak. Jika habluminannasnya baik tapi habluminallahnya tidak, apakah bisa mendapat surga? Tidak juga. Seseorang jika shalat benar-benar, dengat niat lillahi ta'ala, pasti akhlaknya pun akan baik. Jika ada yang sholat tapi masih berbuat curang, berarti shalatnya belum benar. Jadi pastilah, ajaran-ajaran islam jika dilakukan dengan niat yang benar, selain untuk beribadah pada Allah, juga pasti akan menjadikan habluminannas yang baik. Pastilah ajaran-ajaran tersebut mempunyai dampak baik untuk kehidupan umat manusia di dunia. 

 "Berhijab tapi masih berkata kasar, percuma. Mending gak usah berhijab dulu" 

 Berhijab dan belum berhijab kewajibannya sama: Berhenti berkata kasar. Bukan berarti dengan belum berhijab jadi boleh berkata kasar, kan?

 "Kalo gitu mending perbaikin akhlak dulu, baru berhijab"

 Terserah mau mulai dari mana. Yang jelas harus dilakukan dengan niat yang sebenar-benarnya. Dan haruslah setelah melakukan kebaikan yang satu, menuntun ke kebaikan lainnya. Namun, saya akan berikan suatu kasus:

Anda diajak ke club, namun anda menolak karena anda sudah mulai berperilaku baik

Anda diajak ke club, namun anda menolak karena anda sudah mulai berhijab

Yang mana yang lebih mudah? It's your choice.

 Mungkin saya masih terkesan subjektif. Namun, inti yang ingin saya sampaikan di sini adalah jiks suatu kebaikan dilakukan dengan niat yang sebenar-benarnya, kebaikan ini akan menggiring kepada kebaikan lainnya. Jika seorang yang belum berhijab namun benar-benar berakhlak mulia kepada sesama lillahi ta'ala, tentulah dia akan lebih berakhlak mulia kepada dirinya sendiri. Menjaga kesucian, kehormatan, martabat, dan wibawa dirinya dengan cara yang telah Allah SWT tunjukkan. Terlebih lagi, setelah ini, kita dapat memulai memperbaiki diri, menunaikan kewajiban-kewajiban yang belum terpenuhi, ketimbang membanding-bandingkan mana yang lebih baik dan mana yang lebih buruk. Termasuk saya, hehehe. 

Semoga bermanfaat! No offense! Peace!

!!! Apabilah ada kesamaan tokoh hanyalah kebetulan semata. Tidak ada unsur kesengajaan karena namanya diambil dari tokoh di film The Cars.

Little Miss Oopsy Daisy

Little Miss Oopsy Daisy. What a cute phrase to describe a clumsy person. The truth is, being clumsy is never cute. Or silly. It is as horrible as a temperamental person. As disadvantaging as late person. I think I am a clumsy person. And so does everybody think. I am clumsy. And although I laugh about it everytime, doesn't mean it's always funny. Being clumsy is basically being unorganised, uncoordinated, disoriented, distracted, messy, forgetful, unaware, and insensitive at the same time. This character could cause a serious chaos. Though I'm not at that stage yet (hopefully never will), but, there's a serious chance that I might ACCIDENTALLY kill someone. I don't want this clumsiness in me no more. I basically break everything I touch and it is not good. It pisses people off. And they can be mad of me which happens all the time and I am not liking it. I spill my friends' meal all the time, lose their stationaries, and the latest is I hid my friends' wallets and forgot that I was hiding it. I left and my friends look for it all over the place. And they're totally pissed off.  Yes, I am so screwed. And what I'm terrified of the most is this is not a good work ethic. No. Who wants to hire someone who drops everything? Or spills coffee all over the place? That's why this habit needs to go away. And I swear to god I never feel cute for being clumsy. It lets me down as well as it lets people down. I'm gonna start trying not to be clumsy. Wish me luck!

Great Male Songs I Wish I Could Sing

I looooove listening to music. And looove to sing it as well. Buuuuut, I often find ahmazing songs that I could not sing along. They just don't fit my voice. Or my voice doesn't fit them. And the songs are mostly sung by guys. Gaaahhh I hate that I can't sing them but that's one of the reasons why I like those songs, because I can only listen to them, can't sing them. Don't know if they are just the type of songs that don't meant to be sung by female or the singers are too good that only them can nail the songs.


I'll Be - Edwin McCain
I die for this song. Like, it melts my heart right away. Crazy how the melody makes you feel. The cover by Blake Jenner for The Glee Project finale is also super duper great. Then the reason why I can't sing this is because it is 100% male type of song.

Always Be My Baby - David Cook
I know this song is originally sung by Mariah Carey, which is a female. Buuuut, still, don't you sob when David sings it? Like, his voice, and every lyric of it? He totally owns it! It's his song! And his only because me can no sing along with him. :(

Kasih Putih - Glenn Fredly
This legendary Indo love song of all time. Steals the heart of every girl in every generation. But girl can no sing along because it will only ruin the song. That's why deep inside every girl wants their boys to sing this song to them. ;)

J-Rocks - Fallin' In Love
I am fallin' in love with this song. This is a guilty-pleasure, actually. I don't know, this song just takes me somewhere. Somewhere nice. It has a rock kind of feel to it, which is sexy. This band's music stands out among other Indo bands to me.

Against All Odds - Phil Collins
A song from the past. Great, deep song. The piano is touching to me. Although the Glee version, sung by Darren Criss, is so much better, I think. Darren sings this song perfectly with the best emotion can ever be put to this song.

Oh, male singers,
I, from now on, respect you for every melody you are singing because we, female singers, can't ever have what you have put to every of your songs.

Quote of the Day (From The Movie "Rectoverso")

Why, People.

I don't get it. I just don't. Why do people complain about the new curriculum so badly? What do people want? Keep the old curriculum? Be as chaotic as the now Indonesia? Keep corruption? Keep being so poor by ignoring the gold around us? Keep producing dishonest government? Dishonest people?  Uneducated people? Lack of morals? Keep being tested on stupid things? Keep having thoughts and ideas left unspoken? Uncreative and close-minded? Damn, people! You used to say that "Indonesian curriculum is stupid and blahblah" and now they finally change it and you guys be like "The governments treat students like robot blahblah". THIS!!!! This kind of character is exactly the one that should be gotten rid of. CAN YOU JUST BE THANKFUL THAT THERE'S FINALLY A CHANGE? That there's a chance that we wouldn't be stupid and poor anymore? The worst thing could happen is this curriculum totally failed. And AT LEAST we know it is failed. At least we tried. And at least we will learn from it and create the best of all curriculum. Not just keep doing something that we know already a failure. Well, well, well. The one thing I know is a great idea is never the one that's been approved along the process. It is the one that makes people say "That was the right thing to do" 10 years after.

Childhood Saved

Musical. My favorite genre of all time. Thanks to these movies for saving my childhood. Wish i can just sing along in the middle of class or lunch time but just not working lol. Thanks to Mira Lesmana and Kenny Ortega. These movies means so much.

You Are The Music In Me

No, Those Aren't Me!

Well, yes, yes, I admit it. Old me, yeah lol.

Letting Go

I dream.......

A Selfie Kind of Decade

Aloha! Soooo, last week, Vernese, my class, went to Banten to do 'factory visit', which is the task of 'engineering & entrepreneurship' subject. First, we went to PT Krakatau Steel. Awesome. And the we headed to our hotel in Anyer. Quiet far, but after we saw the beach, it was worth it! We played, had fun, and mostly, we took selfies. Like, a lot of selfies. Acip even brought tongsis (translation: selfie stick (?)). We took selfies alooong the trip. I don't mind, though, because I took selfies, too. But, I thought about it last night, aaaaand I realise it is a bit unhealthy. Very unhealthy in fact. Can't believe we let the sun went down unenjoyed because we were too busy taking selfies. Like so busy. Gosh. We were supposed to play with the waves, sands, watch the sunset together, listen to the sound of the ocean. And all we did was taking picture of ourselves so that we could post it to Instagram and Path later. What's the fun in that?! Gosh, now I'm so disgusted with my self. Very unhealthy. I should be a vegan. Or go on a selfie diet, Or gadget diet. Are we obsessed with our selves? Our faces? May be we all should be an Abnegation for a day. Just a day without looking into our reflections in the mirror. Be selfless for a day. To notice the world's beauty, not just ours. To see that we are not the greatest. Just to keep our feet on the ground. I am going to try, soon. That's all I have to say. However, the trip was beautiful, still. <3

A Throwback

Night, creatures! Sooooo, those are me and Dije, moi senior high and high school bestie. Yes, we're classmates. Currently and will still be 'till the next 2 years. That will make us a 5-year-classmates. Ekhm. So I'm looking forward to see Dije in slimmer body. And to witness her first time to fall in love in high school. Wtf wkwk inget Je awal kelas 11 deadline or buy me and Mutia Blizzard. :)) These photos were taken in Pacet, when #DEFINITIONAL did research project. As you all can see, modelling is my nature. :))
