A Typewriter

finally I know what is "mesin ketik" in English.lol
yes, a typewriter

it's kinda out of date if we talk about a typewriter. But we can't avoid that we still need it, especially if you're studying at English literature of Gunadarma Univ. Ya, as we know that we must always make a report for pronoun practice. And our seniors wanted us to make the report by using a typewriter.

We all got stressed out at first before we found the typist near by our campus. And since that day, we always go to there to make our report. When we go to the typist, we just have to give them the report in a normal paper and then they will type it by the typewriter. 

But last time, when my friends and I went to that typist and asked them to make our report, they didn't want to. Their reason is because they didn't have enough time to finish our report. So we forced to make the report by ourselves. And the problem is, we didn't know how to use a typewriter. But our friend, Cau was really excited to finish it. Then me and the others were wanted to finish it too. Cau was more expert than us, so we were learned from her about how to use the typewriter. But it's not as easy as we've thought before. I'm sure you guys are also still didn't know exactly how yo use it. So I'll explain it to you guys!

1.If it's an electric typewriter, turn it on.

2.Flip up the paper guide and place a piece of paper behind the roller.

3.Roll the paper into place.

4.Push the button on the end of the roller to free the paper for minor adjustments.

5.Adjust the paper and press the button again to tighten the roller.

6.Set the line spacing with the lever above the typewriter's keys or behind the roller.

7.Place your hands on the keys, with your index fingers on the F and J keys and your pinkies on the A and semicolon keys.

8.Type precisely and deliberately until you hear the margin bell (if there is one).

9.Push the carriage return lever from left to right, or press Enter on an electric typewriter, and begin typing again.

10.Continue until you reach the bottom of the paper.

11.If you make a mistake, use correction fluid or erase it (if you used erasable paper) and type over the mistake.

12.Repeat with a new piece of paper.

that's it. you'll get some trouble at first.. But it's quite fun and cool if you can do it by yourself!

How To Improve Our English

From the background. As we know, that nowadays many kind of vacancy job that needs an employee who’s be able to use English fluently. This requirement has been exist in almost of every vacancy job. Why is it suppose to be like this? Yes, because English was International language. That means, English was used in every country in the world. So when you visit any country for example, France. and then you don’t know to speaking French, so you may use English to communicating each other. And it’s also happened in Indonesia.

Along with the time, there are many companies or industries in Indonesia who have a work relationship with foreign countries. So the employees are automatically must be able to use English to make them easier carry out their jobs, such as answer the telephone from foreign guest, make a deal with foreign company , presentation, have a talk and so on.

Not only in the occupation, but we also need English in our daily activity. As we can see, that there are many foreign citizens who have lived in our country, especially in Jakarta and Bali. It’s not impossible if one day they asking or greeting or even talking to us with using English. So it is mean that we must know how to communicate in English, either to speaking, reading, writing or listening.

I think that we all know about it. But until right now, there are still some people who don’t care about it. Or may be they just don’t know how to learn. But often, there are some people who already know about using English but they just don’t confident with their skill. So I think, that the people just have to improve a little more of their English.

There are many ways to improve our English, but I just choose the simplest thing of it. for example :

1.   *Often to read any advertisement in the street, in magazine, in television etc. at first when we see the adv, maybe we don’t know the meaning of it. But we certainly will often see the advertisement, and then we can automatically remember the words, and then getting curious to know the meaning of that words. Then we can find it on dictionary. So with that, we can know the words that most uses in the public.

2.  *Often to listening to the west songs. This is same as the method above-- listen to the music, remember the lyrics, curious the meaning of it, and then find the words on dictionary. But It’s better. Why? Because we can easier to remember something when it’s accompanied by the instrument of the music. So with that, we can know many new words from the lyrics and we also can know how to make the sentence of it, plus we can know how to pronounce the words.

3.    *Often to updating our activity or status on social network by using English. It is a very simple way to improve our English, I guess. Because I often do that too. So when we want to write something and sometimes we don’t know what is the best word to make a sentence, we are certainly find out the words from dictionary. Or sometimes we just have to checking for the best sentence composition in google translate. So with that, we can browse many words and it’s of course can improve our English.

4.    *And the last one, is often to speak English with everyone you’ve met. Everyone. Either your Mom, Dad, Sister, Friends, Lecture and so on. Remember, practice make us perfect. With more practice, we can build our confidence in front of the public.

From the examples above, we already improve our English by speaking & listening (when we listen to the music), by reading (when we read any adv), by writing (when we updating status). So it’s very simple isn’t? I’m sure that it’s really worth for us and  I’m sure that you can try it by yourself start from now. Good luck!

Pin Hole Camera

this is the second post for my soft skill assignment. ya I want to tell you about a pinhole camera. Have you ever heard about it? Pinhole camera is known as an obscura camera or "dark chamber".

okay, first time I knew about this camera is when I watched a news on television. So, there's a community who made a variety of  pinhole camera. I don't remember where is exactly they are but I'm sure they were still in Indonesia :p I thought that a pinhole camera is a simple types of camera which one makes us easier to get a nice picture with a very simple stuff and also a cheaper fund. Why I said that it's a very simple stuff? according to the name of the camera, "pinhole" or in Indonesian it was "lubang jarum" we can make a pinhole on everything, such as on a cigarette can, a pencil case, a used cardboard and the other kind of box.

according to some articles, a pinhole camera is a camera that was made of light-tight space with a small hole (as big as a tip of a needle) which function as an access to the light to comes and created a picture of a paper or negative film.

The result of pinhole camera is not predictable but it's surely made some unexpected picture!! and the result is direct in the form of a photo paper. So we must prepare for the paper first. And then after that we have to modify it again in order to make the box can shoot a picture. I'll tell you more details after this. This is some examples of pinhole camera

this one is made of a cardboard

this one is made of a canned milk

this one is made of a classic box

you can make your own creation!

and hualaaa..!! it is sold!

For youth info, I just read some articles about pinhole camera, and obviously there's Komunitas Lubang Jarum Indonesia since August, 17th 2002 until now, and has been scattered at 10 cities in Indonesia. cool! 

Okay now, I'll tell you how to make this pinhole camera!

and... just don't try this to yourself. keep ur beauty girls!

It was my 11.11.11

after the last class..
me and my college friends were having fun at Nav, Margo (pake acara pusing-pusingan ngitung duit patungan -_-)

hmmm first thing first, the service in Nav is not really good haha. but yaa however, we still enjoyed the music and also the photo session. you can take a look on my facebook and see who's "the banci kamera" is B)

and for you guys, we should take another time to have some more fun again awkay!? XOXO

after the goyang-goyang and so on, we gotta go to iLab. as always, I was ride my motor. and this time with Vanya.

the problem has just begun..

it's definitely my fault. we lost our parking ticket! and we must pay ten thousand for that. hhhhhh

here it is.. ANTI KLIMAX.

I'm only have ONE helmet. but I thought that it's okay because it's not far from Margo to Kelapa Dua so, I started to go. "okay wait. may I use Indonesian?" "Sure!!!"

udah tuh.. gue sama Vanya keluar dari Margo dengan sedikit rasa terpukul kehilangan 10rb -_-" terus kita jalan.. muter balik detos.. nyampe di persimpangan yang antara jalan ke Kelapa Dua sama Akses UI-Ps.Minggu

gue ambil yang ke arah Kelapa Dua.. gue dari awal juga udah takut sih kalo disitu bakal ada polisi.. tapi gue mikir "yaudah lah orang jarang ada polisi juga kok hari gini" gak lama, Vanya ribut "ai ai itu ada polisi gue turun aja nih?" "udah Nya gausah. dia pake topi biasa, bukan helm.. itu bukan polisi yang suka nilang" ternyata emang bener bukan. pas mau belok ke arah Kelapa Dua nya.................................................... jeng jeng jeng jeng *musik nya little einstein*

PAK POLISI YANG PAKE HELM!!! dan Vanya belom sempet turun, doi udah nyuruh gue ke pinggir. sial~

gue ajakin damai, duit nya kurang. gue rayu-rayu melas-melas, gak mempan. 

alhasil SIM gue ditahan dan bisa diambil di Pengadilan Depok tgl 25. le?mes (pokok nya sesuai perjanjian Vanya nemenin gue sidang \(^^)/)

gue yang udah stress ngomel-ngomel. Vanya yang udah stress gak masuk iLab sekaligus merasa bersalah banget.. nongkrong di kampus H dan sampe akhir nya kita pulang.

I just should take a lesson from that accident : to always bring TWO helmet and don't ever try to break the traffic rules again.
well, that was my 11.11.11. quite random haha. how's yours?

Makrab

Poppy just tag this photo on Friday to my facebook. thankyou btw :)
I think it was on Oct 8th, at... aah I don't remember the name of the place :| but it's exactly in Kelapa Dua street.
here we are, Makrab (malam kekerabatan) I don't know what is makrab in English. well, it's like a gathering between the senior and the junior. not super junior -_-

I'm still wonder why there's only five people from our faculty (literature 011') who's attended this event? I thought it's important to have a network or a good relationship with our senior. we can know much about our major, we can ask our senior about how's our study in the next level and many more.

at first, me and the others --Poppy, Exalt, Didie, and Ayu were so clumsy in front of our senior (I guess it still does until right now). and when I knew that there's only five of us who's attended the gathering, I was thought that it's not gonna be interesting at all. but I was wrong... :)

our senior were so funny and ridiculous! we're had a small talk in here, some exciting games, an acoustic music (they called it literacoustic <-- tell me how to get in there! 8-D) and so on. we're had such a good times anyway!
yeah, many hope for this event in the next period. we hope our gathering will be more crowd, more fun, more special, more and more hehe.
so, there's no doubt for you to come and join to this event isn't?
see ya in the next gathering! ^^

say cheese...

LOL. she's my best friend, Nadhira.
she just lost her belt and lip ink at Bazkom's closing last night. I don't know why she could still put a smile on a camera whereas she's on a low mood before. never mind, nice picture ya.
calm Nad, you'll get a better stuff :D

Happy 46th Birthday Daddy!

so today is my Dad's birthday! nothing special actually.

me and my granny, we're haven't bought something to him. my Gr.Ma just bought him a cheese cake bakery this morning, and then we put a birthday card behind it. She also bought some bakery for us. but she said that "we can eat it when your Dad already wake up"

and it's too bad............... my Dad was always woke up late -_- so........ we're waiting for him.

still waiting..

always waiting..

crunchy ~.~

and then he woke up, hang up his phone, bla bla bla, went to the bath room, dining room, then he took his bakery then found the birthday card. taraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....!!

he quite touching :')

A broken home

Okay, this is my first soft skill assignment.with this post I just want to share and give some encouraging to you all who have through this moment. Yes, broken home. Who’s proud to be a broken home? No one  I think. Here we go. I have a female friend who lived as a broken home since her one year old. Can you imagine how poor she is? But she won’t be a poor girl. Yap! “Maybe I’m a broken home, but I’m not broke at  all” she said. Well, that words maybe not available to every person (who’s broken home). There’s some people who stuck with their status as a broken home. I mean stuck here, is they who become a bad person because of their parents divorce. They may think that when their parents separate, then their life’s getting hard. I’m not said that the divorce is easy to face. But you don’t have to be that bad. You don’t have to make everything more complicated. You don’t have to think that you are the one who feel it. All you have to do is realize and make everything that you have right now is going to be worth. Don’t waste your time to thinking too much about “how do I live without my father or mother?” “what can I say to my friend about my family?” “what will people say?” and so on. It’s just a suggestion. The fact is will not  like that.

Often, a broken home people have a good cover to hide their disappoint or even their status. In my view, a victim of parents divorce often have some difference from the others. It can be their behave, life style or thought. So I will explain about it. Everything that ever happen in our life, is it good or bad may have influence to our behave. And I think a parents divorce is the bad one. I’m really sure that everyone who have been this situation will feel so broken. They may feels like have no place to depend on. They may feel like loosing something in their life. Or they may confused to choose one of their parents to live with. It’s definitely doesn’t have any good side at all if you talk about a broken home.

When their parents get busy, they may feels like there’s no body care with them. And then they do something to get attention from their parents or perhaps people around them. They can do everything what they want without thinking the risk. They can’t control themselves. It’s okay if they do something worth, like reach achievement or the other good thing. But it’s not cool anymore when they become a rude or wild person, like having a drugs, free sex, night life and so on. that’s why sometimes some people think that a broken home is not a good personal.

On the other side, a broken home people have a strong ambitious. They’re thinking differently from the example above. They’re not make the divorce as a big deal, instead a motivation for their life. They have a goal. They won’t stuck as a broken home. They won’t let people see them as a bad person. They really want to prove the world that they also can do the best just like the others. And the most important thing is, they won’t make the same mistakes. I mean, divorce. Because they all know how it feels like.

From the examples, we know that the divorce can give a bad and even a good influence to their victim. But still, the divorce is not really good at all. So let you all be grateful because you’re still have a complete family. Because you still can feel comfort being inside your home. Because you’re not feeling lost something in your life.

The point is, always Thank God for what ever happened in our life. If it’s a good thing, then keep it and make it better. But if it’s a bad thing, always remember that God already has a solution before the problem. So don’t be afraid. Everything need a time. Better things are coming J
Well ya, I have a friend on a social network (tumblr.com) and I think most of his post can really inspiring Us about life. I hope so. this one of his post. and this is especially for those people who's broken home. here it is!

10 Reason To Never Give Up

1. As long as you are alive, anything is possible.
The only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead. As long as you are alive (and healthy and free) you have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed.

2. Be realistic.The chance of mastering something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. Everything takes time to learn and you will make mistakes. Learn from them.

3. You are strong.You are stronger than you think. One little setback is not enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Neither are 10 or 100 or 1000 setbacks.

4. Prove yourself.You don’t want to be known as someone that is weak and gives up. Go out there and prove yourself to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do. The only time you fail is when you give up.

5. Believe in your dreams.Don’t sell yourself short. In life there are going to be many people who will try to bring you down and tell you what you want to achieve is not possible.

6. Your family and friends.Let the people you love and who mean the world to you be your inspiration to persist and persevere. Maybe you need to try a different angle, study more or practice more but don’t give up!

7. There are people worse-off.Right now there are many people who are in a worse situation and environment than you are. Are you thinking about giving up running 5 miles a week? Think about the people who are unable to even walk and how much they would give to be able to run 5 miles every day.

8. You deserve to be happy.Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to have success. Keep that mindset and never give up until you reach your destination!

9. Inspire others.Be an inspiration to others by refusing to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve because you never gave up and in turn inspired them not to give up.

10. You are so close.Often when you feel like you want to give up you are so close to making a huge breakthrough. You are just a heartbeat away from success.

now let’s shout to the world, BROKEN HOME IS NOT A BIG DEAL!
