Renungan 2011

"Ingatlah hanya dengan mengingat Allah hati menjadi tenteram." (Ar-Raad:28)
Salah satu janji Allah ini lah yang selalu menguatkan perjalanan gue selama di sini. Selama perjalan gue di sini, banyak hal yang menggoda keimanan gue. Kalau memang gak kuat dan gak banyak-banyak ngingat Allah, pasti langsung jatuh. Alhamdulillah, kemanapun aku pergi Allah selalu ada di samping gue.

Sejauh apapun gue melangkah, gue gak pernah merasa kosong sedikitpun. Sekalipun waktu masa-mas kritis gue, dimana kadang gue merasa jauh banget sama keluarga. Tapi gue gak pernah merasa jauh dari Allah. Yang paling gue seneng saat gue di sini, gue aktif dalam kegiatan gue sama hostbrothers gue this youth community yang di adain oleh komunitas gereja that my host family go to. Gue merasa gak ada salahnya gue coba gabung sama komunitas gereja di situ. Toh juga, gue membentengi diri gue dari apapun yang nama nya godaan. Gue selalu positif aja sama yang namanya perbedaan. Mereka juga gak masalahin keberadaan gue.

Selama di sini juga, gue merasa gue lebih ngeluangin waktu-waktu gue buat memperdalam al-quran, bukan sekedar ngebaca ayat-ayat yang ada di sana, tapi sekedar dari itu gue pahami artinya. Gue pahami apa yang ngebuat kita semua beda. Kalau lagi down dan gak tau mau ngaain, tujuan gue langsung ngebaca ayat-ayat Al-Quran. Gue merasa bersyukur aja, perjalanan exchange program gue berasa kayak perjalan spiritual.

Jauh dari pada memperdalam pengetahuan budaya Amerika, gue lebih memahami siapa diri gue sendiri. Gue merasa banyak perubahan di diri gue, terutama yang positif. Salah satunya, waktu di Indonesia, gue fanatik banget sama yang namanya teknologi. Gue ngerasa gak bakal hidup tanpa yang namanya hape super canggih gue yang bisa di pake buat internetan sama dengerin lagu. Tapi waktu di sini, gue bisa ngelepasin sama yang namanya fanatik facebook. Gue ngerasa nyaman aja kalau udah ngabarin keluarga sama temen-temen gue. Tanpa harus nangkringin facebook berjam-jam. Terus yang bagusnya lagi, kemampuan Matematika gue bener-bener di uji. Solanya di sini, gue harus nyelesain kredit 2 kelas Matematika, Statistika sama Pre-Calculus. Di tambah lagi, gue masuk Club Matematika. Aneh banget rasanya, kalau gue di Indonesia. Gak bakal bisa kayaknya, tapi gue di sini udah setengah jalan. Dan gue dapet B buat Statistika dan A untuk Precalculus. Which is good.

Tahun 2011 berasa tahun yang penting banget. Coba bayangin kalau langsung lompat ke tahun 2012 tanpa tahun 2011 gue bisa ngebayangin jadinya kayak apa. Gue ngerasa di umur gue yang ke 16, gue bisa jadi apa yang gue impikan (ceilah). Mkasudnya, gue bisa mandiri ngatur diri gue sendiri di negeri orang. Meskipun masih harus dibimbing orang-orang di sekeliling gue. Tapi pencapaian di tahun 2011 ini gue sudah merasa puas. Nah, di tahun 2012 gue berharap gue bisa tambah lebih baik di semua hal. Yang jelas, disiplin waktu.

Overall, the accomplishmet yet to begin!

Living the Life is like Climbing the Highest mountain!!!

Love this Fall 2011

Sudah dua bulan aku di sini, 1 bulan di sekolah. Setiap hari pasti ada aja yang beda. Soalnya, semuanya terasa surprised. (Random thought).

Sekarang sudah musim gugur, pohon-pohon di sampig rumah sudah mulai gundul. Tanaman di kebun hostmom sudah pda layu, soalnya gak bisa tumbuh lagi. Terus ladang jagung di depan rumah(punya orang lain) udah pada tandas. Hmm,,, kalau keluar rumah udah gak bisa pake sandal aja. Kalau mau kaki nya freezing,,, boleh di coba. kalau pagi keluar rumah kayak masih jam5 pagi aja padahal udah jam 7. Jadi jangan salahin aku kalau minggu2 ini aku sering telat. tapi paling telat 10 menit. Yang jelas biasanya gak bisa santai-santai lagi jalan ke drive way, deh. Soalnya biasanya busnya udah on the way. (Drive way nya sekitar 1/4 miles, lumayan jauh).

Weekend kemarin, sekeluarga ngadain family project. Jadi, kita nyelesain seluruh urusan yang berhubungan dengan kebun sama nyiapin persiapan peternakan sebelum winter dateng.Jadi, Mom, Maggie sama aku dapat bagian nyiapin pumpkins. Kita bersihin pumpkin, terus midahin pumpkinnya dari kebu ke teras belakang rumah. Terus pas malemna, kita sekeluarga mindahin pumpkinnya dari teras belakag ke basemnet. Jadi, sistemnya ada yang berdiri di tangga, terus ada yang di basemnet. Aku kebgian nunggu di basement sama Mom dan Dad. Sdangkan Maggie sama Timothy nuggu di tangga. Pertamanya Dad yang di luar mindahin pumpkins ke dalam. Tapi, Thomas gantiin tugas Dad. Hmm,, akhirnya kita selesai setelah satu jam bolak balik mindahin 200an pumpkins. Boleh-bolehboleh. Selain itu, aku juga gak nyangka kalau aku, Maggie sama Timothy bisa ngumpulin seluruh walnut yang ada di halaman belakang. Secara keseluruhan kita bisa ngumpulin 6 ember besar walnut yang jatuh dari pohon. Lumayan juga, efek nya juga lumayan. Kaki masih terasa kenyeng (alias pegel) soalnya jongkok munguti walnut-walnut yag udah jatuh. Hahha. Gppa weekend kali ini jadi berkesan (Lho.!)

Terus sabtu malam, waktu yang aku tunggu-tunggu. soalnya setiap sabtu malam biasanya aku khusus siapin buat skype-an. Biasa nya aku OL dari jam 8 sampai jam 11. Nah, jadi waktu itu aku nunggu-nunggu siapa aja yang OL. Eh, ketemu Danu samo Vidi Jadi gobrol lah gak karuan. Kalu sama Danu, kita ngobrolin masalah keseharian di tempat masing-masing. Kalu ngbrol sama Gabby, Vidi, sma anak SA lainnya. Mereka nanyain masih sering gak aku jatuh di sini. Jawabannya IYAAAAA. hahahah,, Habbit mungkin kali ya. Well, kalau udah ngobrol lepas kayak gitu jadi tambah semngat aja. Mungkin lain kali, harus bikin janji sama anak-anak SA, jadi bisa ngbrol rame-rame, pasti bakalan seru.

Minggu ini adalah waktunya buat field trip. Jadi dari hari Rabu sampe hari Jumat, aku bakal ikutan FFA convention di Illinois, Indiana. terus hari Sabtu aku bakal ikutan Youth Church Retreat di WoodLand. Hmm.. di sini katanya bakal seru. Soanya Host brother aku antusias banget buat ikut. Jadi, Mom ngajak aku ikutan retreat ini juga. Wlaupun bakalan gak ikutan kegiatan yang pertama. Yang pentig msih ikut deh. Hmm. Kita udah selesai Term 1 di sekolah. Overall, I did well in those 8 subjects.

Back to Nawan's Spirit


What do you think about this photo? This Photo is really cool. It shows us on how aperson do such a very extreme sport. I would someday try this kind of sport. :D

Anyway, as it is my new routine to deal with digital photography. I would take picture and comment some picture really often. Probably, someday I will post the picture that I take. I learn many things about the photography technique.

HOla :D

Holla everyone, maybe you all are wondering what I am doing now. :D
I am now busy with all my school stuffs. I take 8 classes at school. Meanwhile most of my friends take only 7 classes at most. I tooko Precalculus, AP Statistic, Digital Photogrphy (i realized that I like this :)), U2B(Computer and Bussiness, kind of), American History, American Literature, Marketing (it's diffeent with economy), and Criminal Justice (American Law). I bet it is unusual for me to do not let my self busy with school stuffs. I have been missing to get busy with this. I know it would be hard for me if I could not organize my time really well.

Well, what is the most excited part for this first month living in Kenyon, MN? I think, seeing all corn and soybean fields everyday is the answer. hhhe.. :D Every morning, it would be my hardest time. Why? Because in 57F I should walk from house to the end of the drive way waiting for the bus. But, it has been my routine. So, I enjoy it. Then what happen after school? Sleep? I played with kids at home. I usually got back home at 4.15 p.m. It because the bus drop the students who stay at the farthest place first. So, I always be the last one from the bus. It doesn't really matter, I could finish my luch, as I didn't eat all my luch, then I could have a very short sleep, hhe :) ^^V, and what else? Chat with students in the bus. It sometimes interesting that they will be so noisy, but sometimes they could be so calm.

What I do in weekend? In Saturday, I usually got up late, at 8.30 a.m. at the latest. Then I did a lot of suffs outside, played with kids, watched tv show, helped mom cooking, played with the boys, did stuffs with maggie, in the afternoon I tried to finish all my homework and projects. So, in Sunday, I could have more time to not deal with school stuffs. In sunday morning, all of us prepared since early morning to go to the church. the curch is located in Wanamingo, it toook 45 minutes driving from home. Then in the church, my family prayed then having sunday school school afterwards. I usually joined the sunday school with junior-high group. It was always interesting because I could meet more friends and basically they are all nice. I occasionally joined this youth group meeting in wednesday night, only if I did n't have homework to be done.

I don't know, I think everything just run so fast. I sometimes do not realize that I have stayed for a month and a half. It means I only have 9 months to go. What my friends thought at that time was finally true. This year will go so fast. However, I believe this year will be so meaningful for me and for eveyone.

:D

Pertama kali datang yang aku bayangin bukan gedung tinggi sama rumah-rumah gede yang super mewah. Aku udah siap ngebayangin kalo selama setahun aku bakal tinggal di kelilingi ladang jagung dan peternakan, Jadi waktu tiba di Rochester Airport, Phil selaku Local Coordinato ku langsung bilang, " Dil, udah siap kalo selama setahun kamu bkal ngeliat farm field aja." Aku cuma bilang, "Yup, gak apa-apa koq, aku seneng mlahan, soalnya jarang-jarang bisa liat kayak gituan."

Setelah 45 menit dari Rochester Airport, aku dan Phil sampai di home-sweet-home baru ku. Di sana Mom and Dad keliatannya udah nungguin. Jadi aku langsung turun dan meluk mereka. Ternyata mereka ga jauh beda di photo yang mereka kirim 2 minggu sebelum aku sampai ke rumah mereka. Setelah itu, aku gak basa-basi lagi menemui 6 orang saudara kecil ku. Yang paling tua Thomas 14 tahun, Timothy 12 tahun, Maggie 6 tahun, Seth % tahun, dan si Kembar Ellie dan Jacob 3 tahun. First impressionnya mereka sangat welcome dan semua nya berlangsung sampai hari-hari berikutnya.

Sahur pertama, Mom bangun pagi banget, dia yang nyiapin makan sahur buat aku. Aku liat dia gak biasa bangun pagi banget(secara jam 3.30 bro!!!), jadi merasa gak enakan kalau bangunin dia tiap pagi kayak gitu. jadi aku inisiatif buat bangun sendiri besoknya. ternyata sahur sendiri itu terasa berbeda (ceiealah). Aku yang biasa makan sama grup besar harus buka lemari es cari roti, selai, dan susu,, SENDIRI. TApi bisa di handle lah masalah itu,,,

It's my Holiday

I just couldn't believe that I'm on my holiday right now. I had passed the exams, I got the report already. I thought everything is gonna be so fine for holiday. I got 4 weeks hoiday, meanwhile some other friends get 5 weeks holiday. It because I help grade 11 who turn to grade 12 and some other grade 10 who turn to grade 11 to run the Orientation for the new junior.

Anyway, I thought to post on this blog along awhile, but I just couldn't do it for that time. But finally I did this. I had have my three weeks holiday and now I just have 1 week left. Terrible :(

what I have for this holiday is just making my body weight arise :( but I believe when I get into dorm I will back to normal (again). because why ?? I did everything that I never did in dorm, such wake up late at 8 or even at 10. spending almost of my time to stare at tv without going anywhere. oh ya,, I also meet my old friends, evebthough I didn't meet them all. I saw some changes with them as some of them may got taller than the last time I meet them.

In this holiday also, i had my Visa camp when I should deal with USA visa. so, from lahat I went to Palembang by my self. I spent one night stayed in my uncle huse then in the next afternoon I went to Jakarta with one of my frien from Palembang. We arrived in akarta late coz we had delayed on our flight. but then we should wait our friend from Aceh. then finally at6 we were heading to the place where we will stay.. :D The commitee who picked us up said that we missed the first session which was done in the afternoon as other fiends had come earlier. It meant we were totally late. We did all session all weel. the the next two days afterward we finally got back to our city. I should fly by my self and I brave enough to do such thing :D then Finally I got home save and sound.. Happy :D


You know what, I'm heading to the YES orientation on this end of July. oww,,, It comes closer, closer and closer. ooowwh,,, I will go to another part of the world which I've comepletely never seen before... I need to prepare some stuffs from Indonesia as I thought I can't put everything in my luggage.. :) But the thing that make me keep hoping all the time is that I haven't surely known about my family there who will host me and the place wher I will live in. I believe God give evrything on the right time and I know it may be good too..

My Favourite one :D

This song may be so much enjoyable.

Enchanted lyrics
Songwriters: Swift, Taylor;



There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old, tired place lonely place
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" across the room, your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say

It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that

This was the very first page, not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Another Farewell Story

Oh God,, I had got several times experiencing loosing and meeting new people around me. I knew I should feel home wherever I stay, it means I should be easily welcome those new people. But, I don't like to loose them.

Last week Friday, Our Physical Education teacher moved to other school, which means he stop teaching us. I knew we all have been so closed with him, he had been teaching us from our first year of senior high school. The most fascinating memory with him was in every saturday morning, he blew his whistle at 6 a.m. in front of our dormitory. It because he instructed us to had jogging and gymnastic. He would repeat blowing the whistle when some student still walk slowly to the hall where we did our gymnastic. I still remembered when some of us late coming to the hall, he would ask us to have such push up as the consequences. He always gave us such a very nice talking in front of us ofter doing whole jogging and gymnastic. Now, It become such a very crucial habit for us. Even though, he is in another distant away, but we still keep doing this activity in Saturday Morning.

You know what happen in friday? Again it's in Friday, Our English Teacher Assistant from AMINEF is heading home to US. She is Emily Zeidler, comes from Connecticut, US, She helped Pak KAsim, our English Teacher. I thought she was very attractive when teaching us. She could know how to conduct the class and she didn't force us to know what we didn't actually before. She explain many things about US when we asked it, with detail. She had been here with us for this recent 9 months. She actually didn't like to do such a farewell meeting with us. But finally she was so awesome singing Palembang song in this farewell meeting. Many students spontaneously crying because everyone didn't really like to loose her from our school. I cried too at that time. She said she really like to visit me when I'm in the US. I intent to tell her many thing about my exchange program, as I will know many things about US earlier. She's really helpful. I Should have missed you soon, Em,, Hope we can meet someday in US :D

ooowh,,,, I'll soon turn to 16,,, I wonder how it feels to be 16 year-old girl. I know it's too late because most of my fellow schoolmates are in 17 year-old. They had a very great 17 birthday celebration. Anyway, end of this month we will have FINAL EXAM. Wish me luck for this. Next month is holiday time. It's the most waited moment for the whole school agenda for this year. Yey,,, But, I know, I should have really prepared with my Final Exam.

Leaving on the JetPlane

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane

FAREWELL 1

Now, tears suppose to drop whilst seeing people who we have just known in count of month stepped living us away. I don’t really like to say Good Bye to people who I’ve ever known. This means I don’t expect to end up the meeting and having a farewell such like this.
We met with 4 students of IOWA University who aimed to have their 2 months pre-training as teachers before officially graduating from their University. At the first time, we didn’t really seem to close with them until finally we found out if they actually nice to talk with. They had their own style of teaching which we considered different with our teachers have. We thought it was only because their background is a lot different. We spent our great time with them.
They are all nice. They could appreciate our way of behavior in our daily life and we did too. We sometimes made such a joke with them, as they didn’t really know about our local cultures. Then bit by bit we introduced them about our basic words and they seem quit difficult to thought many differences of their cultures and our cultures. They are such easy going guys, as in a week they really dare to help us to prepare our speaking exam which suddenly done by school. They gave us tips on how to conduct a good speaking like the real English Native speaker. Finally, in the next day we could do our speaking exam well. We thanked them a lot.
Before leaving, they used their last 2 hours in Indonesia before flying to USA to have a meet and greet with us in our school’s hall. We gave them our last impression by giving them souvenir, singing, and taking a whole-school picture. We hope our meeting will not just end like this. I hope we could meet again later in another occasion. Keep in touch with us, guys. We’ll share many more things.

Just a quick try for my exam :D

Your body's Suplement

Having experienced deal with a pretty simple life without annoyed by such problem regarding with health is everyone's dream. We sometimes seem likely to ignore our concern about health because we simply don't have enough time to concern only for that problem. As we are all aware, the following tips are expected to overcome the problem.

Thinking to have a minute of rest might be difficult done by people who are really dynamic in nowadays life. They seem tend to catch up their work and worry when they are late come for working rather than spend at least 30 minutes in the morning to warm up their body. Furthermore, every single thing is worth for those people, so they don't want loose at a single time they have. It's perfectly bad to know,but we can't deny this.

Minimizing the bad effect of this habit is the way to quit from the main problem. You should consume less cholesterol foods and drink a lot of water. This will help you a lot to maintain your stamina instead of your busy day. Take a look at your sleeping time, when you keep delaying your sleep time, you might get your self not have such a sufficient energy in the next morning. Thereby, you need to be strict of your sleep time. You should have such a proper sleep time, not too less or not too over. Because the effect of oversleeping is the same like when you get less sleep. Another thing is to keep consuming fresh fruit, your body need the nutrients for the cell's recovery.

At last, you need to concern on your body condition to remain healthy. Because when you get your body unwell you can't do anything dealing with your work well.


NB:
it was just one of the example of my exercise. I did this whilst accessed other websites regarding this tophic. Feel free to put your comment on this article, :D

A week to go for Exam

A beginning of May seems bring such a new spirit to everyone. I just couldn't really concern when I realize the month has changed, it supposes to don't happen to everyone's life. For me my self I got so exhausted to face this month, as I will be sitting for my IGCSEs. So, the big possibility for my friend and I to have a very tough revision weeks to prepare the exam.

Last week, we've been starting the new schedule of night study which completely tiring all of us. So, the new regulation is every students suppose to study in classes at 8 p.m until 9.30 p.m. It basically done because our house master often to see students just play or did such quite not important thing when they actually need to study. I sometimes study in my room even though it hard to minimize the sound as we have 8 room mates in one room ( of course all my room mates are girl), so i just put my ear phone on and turn such a mellow song. Then not long after that i got so sleepy and I fell asleep. Yes, It didn't guarantee me that I will stay longer when I studied in my room, so I thought the new regulation made by our house master is help me so much on this problem.

Dealing with all the revision guide every night didn't turn me bored seeing the same types of question all the time. It's worth to know that I should get the best result after studying for about 1 and 8 months for the examination which I will sit in. I just don't want to waste my time to do such unimportant thing, cause I know I should put my self all the time with groups of books that I need for my exams. Now, I'm practicing my self for the exam.

Just beneath of my mind I need sometimes to got a certain time for me to relax my self, but unfortunately i couldn't get such relaxing time in every time I want. I just didn't like when i need my modem to browse I got my modem in trouble of connection. it badly made me couldn't post anything on this blog. Not only that made me couldn't update my post so often, it because I just don't have time to even stare at any thing apart from my books (it's badly terrible).

Let's count for has been how many months I deal and wait for my placement of my exchange program. I thought it's been around 4 months for me to got to know of the exact placement that I suppose to get. Then I got worried when knowing 3 of my friends who involve as the participants have been knowing in which state they will be hosted. I just keep praying to get the best for me. Just to give you a quick note, I will soon turn to 16 :D. Wish I could get my self better when I will have been in that age.

Story behind the permission slip

This morning was different with the common Saturday morning as the beginning of the weekend because my PE(Physical Education) teacher didn't seem to come. What we did commonly was that we just woke up when my PE teacher flew the whistle at 6 a.m. It such difficult to wake up in weekend time. But then he will count until every one come to the hall to have jogging and gymnastic. Sometimes because I just thought to spend friday night late, I prepared to sleep using PE clothes which were long training and long clothes, it simply because I'm just too afraid if I sometimes woke up late on saturday. hhha.

Well having saturday morning without jogging and sport is quiet strange for me, but I like it because I could continue my sleep. it didn't last that long, as my friend contact me to prepared my self because we will go to the hospital for doing immunization. I will not do the immunization but he will do it, I had finished my immunization last two weeks. Soon I took a bath and took my breakfast, then We're ready to go. But, we couldn't just go directly as we need to get the permission slip from dormitory teacher (we're living in dormitory). Then we tried to find the teacher in the office because we thought they like to be there when they still aim to continue their working but unfortunately we couldn't find them there. Well, we continue looking for them in teacher dormitory, but again no one stay there, then we got back to our dormitory still wanting to find any teacher, then we got tired as we had walked around but we couldn't find any teacher. We decided to go to our house master's wife then we said what we had experienced a few minute ago before coming to her. Then she tried to call our house master, bur because he was in the trip to other cities outside of Palembang then we thought the signal wasn't that good. After considering our reason, she finally gave us the permission letter. How we thought it needed a hard effort to just get the permission letter.. hhha...

We took a public transportation to go to the hospital, then 10 minutes later we arrived in hospital. I decided to walk in another entrance way to the hospital, because most of the time we never passed that way. I thought it was okay to pass that way, but when we tried to walk by that way, we could pass the exit door because it was still 9 a.m. meanwhile the door will be open at 10 a.m. Then we finally realized that those rooms we passed were the room for pregnant mother, they seemed strange look at both teenager like us went to those rooms, we realized it when some of them look at us in different way, then we just fasten our way to get back to the entrance door then walk to the common way that we usually passed.

We needed to register before going to the clinic. it was badly crowded, then we should wait for such a long time to get the queue. the thing that I didn't really like from the queue was that the people seemed didn't concern about other. They just tried to pass the queue as they seemed didn't really patient to just stand and waiting to register them self to the receptionist. We thought that would commonly happened in the city like this, we just wondered when all people could behave well especially when they need to concern about other. i said when we just stood here silently waiting to get the queue, we would never get to register until the hospital closed. Then I barely stood and walk closer to the receptionist and showed my friend ID card. Finally we could register then got the registration before going to the the clinic.

My friend, he needed to get last Varricella vaccine. He thought it was the right day for him to get the vaccine. but when he show the immunization card to the nurse in the clinic, the nurse said it wasn't the right time for him to get the vaccine, it because on that day was earlier 7 days before the right time to give the vaccine to him. Means next week we should come back to the clinic to get the injection. We got back soon after that. But I said, it was still morning then I suggest to come to my Aunt's house which is 10 minutes from the hospital. Then we took another public transportation to get there. When we arrived to my Aunt's house her family and her were to busy cleaning her house, as at night before when a heavy rain fell it caused flood to her house and house around her. I was feeling bad too. Anyway, she felt happy to meet me, as we didn't meet for 1 month because she moved to Jakarta to her new working place. We spent around two hours in my aunt's house to just had such chatting. Then we got back to school.

In the afternoon, I was feeling so tired because I seemed never stop walking in the morning, but I should finish my Art work. You know, I got really difficult to draw, i thought every drawing that I made were bad and didn't have any sense of Art. hhha.. terrible !!! I spend more than 2 hours deal with my Art work, but I didn't finish it. :( I decided to sleep for a while, when I just closed my eyes, my classmates in the down stair (I stay in the up stair) called me to gather preparing the materials for cooking class in the night. I walked difficultly to down stair. Everything about cooking class finished. Soon in the night we cooked Sandwich advised by Pak David (Civic teacher). i was the one who handle to bake the bread. It was nice to turn around the bread until we got the surface of the bread turn into yellowish. I enjoyed my cooking class, we still able to get some pictures. Finally I felt so tired and sleepy then I got back to my room earlier than others. I ended my saturday by writing this.

Kartini day on Earth day :D

Dear all my pen pals,
I thought I need to drop you a line to just let you all know what I had in my school for 22 April 2011. It was so interesting to me and the whole of my fellow in my school.

on 21st April, we had Kartini day's celebration. It might be different with last year experienced to celebrated Kartini day. Last year boy student should treat girl student differently, as boy student should bring all bags and books that girl students brought at that time. But, this year celebration ended just so so, Student Council of our school just share the red ribbon the the girl students,Girl students put the red ribbon on their clothes. It might seem just so so, but I suppose to look deeper in it as I will find how priceless the Kartini day is for student like me. I thought what Kartini aimed to say to the girl was girl actually has all the greatness that can make them do things more than boys can do. I just wonder to be as brave as Kartini. Yes, I'm one of Kartini generation nowadays!!!

let's move on to 22nd April, I just wonder why is so important for these two days. 22nd April is EARTH DAY!! May be people thought it just the same with other days of this week, but it doesn't happen to me. It's a big day for me as my school run a recycle competition as the event to commemorated EARTH Day. I was experiencing such a small problem. It started when I knew I got a clash in the schedule of my coming soon exam on May and the schedule to prepare my Visa, as I told you I will soon do my exchange program in USA. It such a difficult decision because I can't let any of the chances to be missed, both are worth for me because I have been studying for two years to prepare this examination and I got so much preparation for my student exchange program. Yeah, I knew i should think it just part of the big problem that I should have passed. My teacher said, people will always get problem in their life, when they thought they got a very big problem, they got actually wrong because they might find lot of problem which more difficult than that problem. So don't think the problem that you are facing right now is the worse one and when you can solve it you will not get any problem. I suggest to don't to be burdened by the problem itself. Then, I got to prepare my group to do the presentation for what we had recycled.

My group recycled plastic bag and card box to be such a multifunction box. We finished doing all the recycle thingy and presentation for only one night. It's so terrible,as we seem just miss the previous days. But to tell you the truth we got difficult to find any leisure time for this week. everything seemed just run too fast, and what we need to do is to just enjoy the day. Back to my presentation team, I didn't present the presentation, I was just training my junior, it's simply because I just need to give the chance to others. It's not bad to didn't perform on the stage meanwhile you can see the one who performed on the stage did a very good job because of you. Then I found my junior performed really well, they didn't get too nervous on the stage and the most interesting is they can attract the audience's attention pretty good. Good job, guys !!!

Then now it's about my best friend who show me a song which she thought suitable with my condition. You know what, she let me hear "LEAVING ON THE JET PLANE". She said she gonna miss me, she will sing this song when I leave. I feel bad to leave my friends, because I should have missed my senior high school friends, as they will graduate next year, but not to me. I feel terrible when my friend said that I do not love them as I don't want to spend the rest of my year in Senior High School with them. I don't mean such thing friends, I just want to perform the best for every single decision that I have made. I still want to be part of this senior high school member.

Soon I will write many more things. I love enjoying this long weekend :D

Yours,

I Need to write

I don't know how to describe this feeling out. I'm in the tip of iceberg. It's what I don't expect to happen but now I should have face it. This what I call to choose between both worth options. I couldn't figure this one out. I'm fully tumbling all around. I don't know where suppose I held on with.
I simply felt something went wrong in around me. I got less motivation because I always blame my self for the thing that I can not do by my self. I know it's kind of weird because I just felt that it's only me the one who got this thing. I sometimes felt that I'm different among others. I sometimes felt I couldn't stand till that long in such crowded place. This badly turn my view that I got something change in me. But, again, I couldn't figure it out. I'm just not too brave to dig my own problem, this cause me thought that I'm too weak. I don't just let my self be that weak. I'm stubborn, it could make me difficult change a thing in my self, then I tried to grab my self out of this strict-minded. I don't like to be border in such thing. But, I still have my barriers in the value that I stand on with.
Then now I got into a very difficult option to be decided for a stubborn. What to do when you are asked to choose in between of things that you really expect to get? It takes times to get the best answer, then the answer suppose to be 1 not two. because I is the last solution of the problem it self. I knew most of people had ever experienced a similar thing or even worse that what I face now, because I knew this problem might only part of the beginning of my life's story. I suppose to do not miss at any detail as well as this problem. Because, someday when I could write a world best seller book, then I will put this story in one of the main chapter. It sounds pretty good.
Scarification would be the only way to solve this such problem because I can't force to run both of options well, that what I learned in my Senior High School. I need to let one thing go then I might concern to another thing which I thought more worth. But the case that I'm facing right now is I can't just thought to just let a thing go after doing so much effort in both options. I should have tried harder to grab both option. I believe there will be another way from an absolute way which has been created by human because I knew God will give me the best thing tom me. However, I'm about not too ready to see when God decide the worse thing happen to me next. I'm not sure what should I do to cover my deep sadness later on. That's the thing I should try to apply about accept losing a worth thing.

I lost in a crowded city

It's not what I was actually experienced. I simply bring my feeling to a piece of story. It represents my deepest feeling.
Well, someday I traveled using my car to a city. this city was quite new for me as I had never been traveled to this city before.I went traveling with my 3 friends. I thought it was so strange to came to this place. I just followed what my friends had discussed along with me to continue our journey to this city. Before deciding to came to this city, my friends and I were enjoying our holiday in a mountain. We had a very joy holiday.
One of my friend, Twinkle told us that we soon will have more joy if we visit this city. Then Diamond and Rocky agreed with her idea. Me, at the first time was feeling so doubt, because I knew none of us had ever traveled to this city. But, Twinkle kept convincing us that it's okay to continue our journey. The the decision made, we continue driving to this city.
When we first arrived, the thing that we saw was a very quite city. we didn't find anyone while driving on the street. Then I decided to stop, but my friend didn't want to listen what I was saying at that time. I really wanted to quit from the car and found the way back to home, because I believe if we kept continuing our journey, wee gonna get something worse that we can't predict.
At that time, I strongly stated to my friends that I wanted to quit from car. They let me go from the car. They left me in a very strange place. I knew they didn't feel guilty to let me experience this condition. I just kept trying to find the way back home. Then I walked for around 5 km by my self. Then I realized that I had away from the previous city. Then I walked confidently as I knew exactly the city I visited.
Now, I really anxious about my friends. I don't know what they gonna get out there. I actually feel a little bit lonely as I was used to go together with Diamond , but now I decide to have my own way. Before I saw Diamond didn't act as usual. I don't know who has changed, me or diamond. I just let Diamond experience more joy with twinkle and rocky. I hope someday I can meet Diamond without any changes with her. I really miss Diamond. yet, I haven't found anyone to go walking together with me visit my own city. I don't want to lose it that city (again).

Dear all pen pals,

I've been meaning to write something in this blog, but I was really busy with my school and my YES program's preparation.

Anyway, I want to share many things that I've been doing for this recent weeks. I invite you to share and respond with what I write here.

I'm preparing my YES program as I will be staying for 11 months in USA as a student exchange from Indonesia. I just realized that it wasn't as easy as what I thought when I want to go abroad. I experienced many preparation, such as I need to get some immunization, passport ( as I've never traveled abroad), VISA, cultural presentation, traditional clothes, and many others. I got so much difficulties as I have my tough schedule in my senior high school. Thereby, sometimes I need to skip some classes. I felt not good to do so. but, it's the only choice when I wanted to do the procedure needed for the preparation. I was still feel lucky as I still enjoy the journey with my partner. He is in the same class with me. He's not the same as main candidate as me. It;s sometimes make he felt he still stand between to choices. meanwhile he needed to still completed the application form. That's why I tried to keep giving him my support. I just told him that everyone will know how big your effort is.

It isn't the only thing that become my challenge for this beginning of month. I've tried to put my biggest effort for joining a competition with my other partners. I spent half of my semester break holiday for doing this project. It means I had only short time to have my holiday with my family. I guess it was okay as I can still enjoyed my holiday with my busy working. However what I can hope is not always come true as I wish. Yet, I can not be the one who able to win this competition. I was really upset at that time as I had done many things for this. But then I look back, Nothing is going to be useless that what I could learn for this case. Well, simply I could think I need to put my bigger effort than before.

well, now I was just got an injection in my left hand, it felt a little bit sick. My mom told me it's only the respond as I'm injected the vaccine to my body. I hope no side effect from this. I will have some immunization for the next following months.

I'm looking forward to hear many things that you've been doing out there :D


Yours,


Adila

What I have been doing for these recent few months are simply about studying, study, and study. Well, Every day I face my day with the busy and full school day activity. I still could say that I’m lucky because I still have Sunday where I can have my school day off. :D
I was about too busy with the YES form application. Well on December 2010, I was officially being accepted as one of the YES participant of Indonesia. I have been struggling to join the whole selection since June 2010. You simply can imagine what a long journey that I need to take. At the very beginning, I was struggling with my friends from my schools. It was funny when we went together to took the test. But then finally I could get this. I do believe this would be a great Experience.
I enjoyed all the stage that I have, because it really trained my patient.
