Learning English & Its Advantages For Several Aspects

Good morning people en overleefde zondag voor alles of mijn vrienden. It's been a several weeks I didn't post anything on the blog due I focus on the final exam of this third semester. Thank God that I can do the exam pretty well and now is I just hope that I get the best score for every subject then. By the way, due I'm an English Language and Culture department student, have you ever ask in yourself why I choose this department? What are the advantages choosing this subject? How you gonna get a job with this subject and department? Some people asking me about those things for a several times. Well, the answer is simple. I learn English since I was a little kid, maybe around 6 or seven years old and I love learning the language, culture and also the history. The fact is, I don't like anything that related with the numbers, I like anything that related with the words. So, what are the advantages of learning English just like myself now? I give you several things to you for know that what the advantages of learning English are.

The English language is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, second only to Mandarin. That English is used almost everywhere is only one of the many advantages of learning the language. One of the primary benefits of learning English is that it is often considered the language of global business. The international business community often uses it for communication, even among people who do not speak the same native language. Speaking and understanding English can let a person more easily communicate with others and find more job opportunities not only in his or her home country, but around the world as well. There are also many professional informative publications printed in English, which means it is often an essential language for anyone working in science or research. There are several aspects that English is the important thing to learn and to be understand.

1. Business & Employment Opportunities:

English is the primary language of business throughout the world. Most international business transactions, including emails, memos, reports and contracts, are written in English. For many people, the benefits of learning English include broadening their employment opportunities, since it is used so commonly in business. People who speak two or more languages are often ideal candidates for jobs in travel, international business, or translation. Many government agencies and employers that offer work with the general public, such as positions in law enforcement or healthcare, often look for multilingual candidates

2. Social Networking & Relationships:

Many people see the ability to communicate and talk with others as one of the major benefits of learning English. Even outside of a professional environment, people often like to be able to talk to individuals from around the world. Many people find great social and cultural benefits in having pen pals from other countries, and the Internet makes such communication fast and easy. Knowing English can broaden the types of people you can speak to, whether its via emailor on an online discussion forum. A tremendous number of websites are available primarily in English, and anyone who does not understand the language may have difficulty using them. For anyone interested in traveling to countries in which English is the primary or common language, it is often essential to understand and speak it. Throughout the UK, US, and Canada, traveling and shopping are often made easier by speaking the language since many individuals may not speak any other language. One of the most important benefits of learning English is the ability to explore these regions and more easily communicate with locals to learn about places and events that might otherwise remain unknown. Many people in European countries learn English in school, so knowing it can also be of benefit when traveling in locations even where it's not the native tongue. Learning a language can also be a great way to meet people, even if you never plan on leaving home. A class at a local community center or college can introduce you to a wide variety of people who are also interested in English, and give you the opportunity to interact with them in a controlled setting. Language courses often encourage students to carry on conversations with each other in the language being learned, and this can be a great way to break the ice with new people.

3. Entertainment & Cultural Understanding:

A huge amount of popular entertainment comes out of Hollywood, and nearly all of it is produced in English. American movies and TV programs are distributed all over the world, and are often subtitled for people who don't speak the language. Knowing English can allow you to better understand the subtleties of dialog that subtitles frequently miss. It can be a challenge to translate concepts and terms that don't match one-for-one between languages, and nuances of meaning can be lost. Language is an inherently cultural construct. How people speak, the words they choose, and the topics under discussion are deeply tied into the culture of a place. By learning English or any other language, you are putting yourself into the mindset of a native speaker and are introduced to many of the concepts that he finds important. Gaining a better understanding of other cultures can help you to enrich your own understanding of the world and how others see it. Major Hollywood movies have dialogue in English. The plot of these movies is easier to follow if the person watching the movie speaks English. Subtitles in other languages can sometimes cause the meanings of words to be lost in the translation, and they can be a distraction or even block the action taking place on the screen.

4. Research & Academics:

Because English is a first language for many countries, many other nations teach it as a requirement in schools. It is estimated that over a billion people in the world speak English on at least a basic level. For many people, the benefits of learning English involve the new opportunities that become available to someone who understands it. Anyone interested in attending a university in the US, for example, needs to speak it or be able to pass a test proving that he or she is fluent. Many of the most prominent and well known publications throughout the world are written and printed in English. Scholars interested in doing research at an academic level, or working on new scientific developments, should consider the benefits of learning English to read these periodicals and publish their own work. Publication in peer-reviewed journals is often required for someone who wishes to remain in academia, and the ability to read and write in English may be necessary to maintain such a position. Even learning about current events often requires an understanding of the language, since so many global publications and news websites use it. The English language is the predominant language of academics all over the world, with a large amount of research conducted, written and presented in English. Knowing English can helpful for scholars who wish to communicate their ideas and research findings to peers in their field.

So, the conclude is, English at this time is one of the most important language for the era of global right now. People in every place, in a abroad are using English. You can see that English language is the important language for several important aspects in our life. Not only Enlgish, but also for every language in this world are important for us. Language is the important thing to connect each other country or nation or company from abroad. Try to learning language as much as you possible because learning several languages can bring you to the huge world that give you a new experiences and also new knowledges to know, Okay, that's all about English language and its important aspects for our life. I hope you guys now understand that how important English language for yourself. That's all for today and see you later fellas.

Goeden avond alles of mijn vrienden. It's nice to see you again. Have you ever listen a Dutch song? Even it is the classic or the modern one? If you don't, I'll give you one of the classic Dutch song that related with my beloved country, Indonesie (Indonesia in Dutch language). This song was very close with the people of Indonesia, especially for its cullinary. The name of the song is "Geef Mij Maar Nasi Goreng" or in English is "Give Me More Nasi Goreng", very close from its culture isn't it? This song is sung by a mevrouw (woman in Dutch language) named Louisa Johanna Theodora "Wieteke" van Dort or we know she as Tante Lien. Tante Lien itself is a Dutch people that born in Surabaya but on her 14 years old, she move away to Den Haag until now. This song also have a story for mevrouw van Dort itself that related with her childhood in Indonesia. The Story is :

Story
At 1957, Irian's conflict between the government of Indonesia and the Netherlands are make the Indonesian government make the anti sentiment of the west country, especially Dutch people and its country. This make mevrouw van Dort move away to Netherlands. Tante lien, as we called her, didn't like the climate and also the cullinary in Dutch. So from here, in Netherlands, she express her miss and love about Indonesia especially its cullinary with the song named "Geef Mij Maar Nasi Goreng".

That's a simple story from the song. Every song has its own story, so this song have their own story. This song lyrics is written in Dutch language, but there are several things like Indonesian cullinary that have been input the lyrics like lontong, sate babi, kerupuk, and many more. Are you curious with the song? Especially the lyrics? No need more time, check this out!

Geef Mij Maar Nasi Goreng

By : Wieteke van Dort

Toen wij repatrieerden uit de gordel van smaragd

Dat Nederland zo koud was hadden wij toch nooit gedacht

Maar 't ergste was 't eten.

Nog erger dan op reis

Aardappelen, vlees en groenten en suiker op de rijst

Geef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken ei

Wat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbij

Geef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken ei

Wat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbij

Geen lontong, sate babi, en niets smaakt hier pedis

Geen trassi, sroendeng, bandeng en geen tahoe petis

Kwee lapis, onde-onde, geen ketella of ba-pao

Geen ketan, geen goela-djawa, daarom ja, ik zeg nou

Geef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken ei

Wat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbij

Geef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken ei

Wat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbij

Ik ben nou wel gewend, ja aan die boerenkool met worst

Aan hutspot, pake klapperstuk, aan mellek voor de dorst

Aan stamppot met andijwie, aan spruitjes, erwtensoep

Maar 't lekkerst toch is rijst, ja en daarom steeds ik roep

Geef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken ei

Wat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbij

Geef mij maar nasi goreng met een gebakken ei

Wat sambal en wat kroepoek en een goed glas bier erbij

So, that is about the song that related with the Indonesian culture, especially its cullinary sung by the Dutch people, Tante Liem. We, as the Indonesian people must proud because far away from our beloved country, there are still a people that love the Indonesian culture. We must, keep our culture alive and we must expand our unique culture abroad to make all the people around the world know about Indonesia, especially its culture. That's all for this little bit history and a song. Goeden avond alles meneer, mevrouw, en mijn vrienden and also my felow reader. Dank U en tot ziens! Overleefde dinsdag vriend.

Hello and bonjour to my fellow readers. We wake up in the bright morning, so keep up to get your dream. This morning, when i didn't do anything, I just listen the music at my room. When I listen the music on my notebook, I listen one of the classic song. The song is from France, so it means that the language of the lyrics is France too.

I suggest if you want to know the lyrics, you can using a Google translate because I don't really undertand a French language unless you are fluent to speak French.

La Vie en Rose

By : Edith Piaf

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens

Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche

Voilà le portrait sans retouche

De l’homme auquel j’appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras

Il me parle tout bas

Je vois la vie en rose

Il me dit des mots d’amour

Des mots de tous les jours

Et ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon coeur

Une part de bonheur

Dont je connais la cause

C’est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie

Il me l’a dit, l’a juré pour la vie

Et dès que je l’aperçois

Alors je sens en moi

Mon coeur qui bat

Des nuits d’amour à plus finir

Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place

Les ennuis, les chagrins s’effacent

Heureux, heureux à en mourir

Quand il me prend dans ses bras

Il me parle tout bas

Je vois la vie en rose

Il me dit des mots d’amour

Des mots de tous les jours

Et ça me fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon coeur

Une part de bonheur

Dont je connais la cause

C’est toi pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie

Il me l’a dit, l’a juré pour la vie

Et dès que je l’aperçois

Alors je sens en moi

Mon coeur qui bat

This song is about the romantic things like the feeling of heart. Well, it is a good enough to feel the classical thing when you listen this song. If you want to learn about French language, this one maybe help you to understand the French language a bit. Ok, that's for this simple post from the monday morning. Goeden morgen en tot zien.

Fatal Frame III : The Tormented

Hi guys, have you ever play a game with a gameplay that you must take a photo of ghost? No kidding! maybe you think about that. But, there is a fact that have a game with that gameplay. The name of the game is "Fatal Frame". Its a Japanese game and the sequel of the Fatal Frame itself is for a platform PlayStation 2 and Wii. Today, I'd like to give the information about the third sequel of the Fatal Frame series. The sequel is "Fatal Frame III : The Tormented". In Japan know as "Zero : Shisei no Koe" (in English " Zero : Voice of the Tattoo" ). This game is a third installment for the Fatal Frame series and also game takes place two years after Fatal Frame and about two months after Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. The game was realesed for PlayStation 2 on July 28, 2005 in Japan and November 8, 2005 for North America. The genre of the game is survival horror. So, let's discuss about the gameplay and also the plot of the game.

Plot

23-year-old freelance photographer Rei Kurosawa has been mourning the death of her fiancé, Yuu Asou, after a car accident caused by his reckless driving. About two months after his death, while on assignment for the derelict Kuze mansion, Rei discovers his image on one of the photos she had taken. Shortly after, she begins having recurring nightmares of an old Japanese manor house—the "Manor of Sleep"—during a heavy snowfall, where she is touched by a tattooed ghost.Upon waking, Rei notices a mysterious bruise on her body, where the ghost had touched her; this mark spreads each time she dreams about the Manor. As Rei continues to explore the Manor of Sleep, she begins to receive investigation notes from Kei Amakura, a close friend of Yuu who writes in his letters that he and his niece Mio both have similar symptoms.Rei learns that her photography assistant, Miku Hinasaki, is also under the same curse. The lines between dream and reality blur when ghosts began appearing in Rei's house, and the bruise on her body continues to expand and form a snake-and-holly tattoo similar to the tattooed ghost who touched her. Rei learns through uncovering diaries and research that the dreams are caused by Reika Kuze, the last Tattooed Priestess tasked with the duty of containing others' emotional pain within the tattoos on her body.

Although meant to rest for eternity, Reika had unintentionally released "the Rift", a form of darkness which destroyed the village, after her childhood lover Kaname was murdered in front of her eyes. Now corrupted and unable to rest, she haunts people with a strong attachment to dead loved ones. Within time, the tattoos Reika had cursed her victims with will completely cover their bodies and cause them to disappear, leaving behind black soot, although following the dead would eventually lead to death as well.Because of Rei's attachment to Yuu; Miku's to her brother Mafuyu, and Kei's strong connection to Mio, mourning for her sister Mayu, all three are trapped in the Manor of Sleep.When Miku enters a coma, Rei loses all hope of ending the curse until Kei suggests that by staking down Reika's body in the Chamber of Thorns, she can rest peacefully and no longer endanger them. However, he becomes trapped in the chamber himself upon making a horrific discovery: Reika's body has already been pinned to the ground. With only Rei remaining, she confronts Reika and exorcises her spirit. Following the lyrics of a song in the ritual, Rei puts the bodies of Reika and Kaname in a small boat and pushes it across an underground sea behind the stone ritual chamber - the Abyss of the Horizon, the passage to the spirit world. As the boat begins to vanish into the distance, other dead spirits begin to cross the sea, one of them being Yuu. The tattoo which now covers Rei's body transfers to Yuu, who insists that she must go on living and keep his memory alive. Once Rei and Miku wake up, they resume their normal lives.

Gameplay

In Fatal Frame III, the player uses the vintage "Camera Obscura" to photograph and dispel ghosts. The player explores in third-person in either the Manor of Sleep or the real world. On the main screen is a "Ghost Filament", which indicates a ghost's presence; red signals a hostile ghost, while blue indicates a neutral ghost. At any point in the game, the player can enter first-person mode via the viewfinder, used for photographing ghosts. The Camera Obscura has a limited amount of film for ammunition, and the player must search areas thoroughly to obtain more. The player gains points through defeating ghosts or by taking pictures of neutral ghosts or seals. These points can be used to upgrade different aspects of the camera, such as range and sensitivity

The character itself from the game are : Rei Kurosawa, Kei Amakura and Miku Hinasaki. These are the the protagonists during the gameplay. And also the song for the game's ending is "Koe" sung by Tsukiko Amano. For me, its a game that can make you scared enough and shocked enough too. Just Imgaine that you must fight against a ghost or spirit  things using a camera and take a picture of that scariest things, really challenge your adrenalin right? Don't play the game alone or you just brave enough to get the shocked things from the game alone?

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Good evening my fellow reader, today i'd like to post something about song again. Yes, I like to post about music sometime. By the way, I post this music because when I listen this music and findng about the background or the meaning of the music, it is the interesting thing for me. It is a good way to get more knowledge and kill the bored itself. About the music, the name of the song is "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" sung by Madonna. The song itself, well it is a little bit old song. It is recorded on 1976. I give you the background of this song, so you can understand what the meaning of this music due it is have a historical and maybe romantic things to know.

Background :

"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" is a song composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice. It was first recorded by Julie Covington on the 1976 concept album Evita, and was later included in the 1978 stage musical of the same name. Sung by the title character Eva Perón, it appears early in the second act as Evita addresses the crowd from the balcony of the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and features a sweeping melody tied to broad emotional themes of regret and defiance, characteristic of Lloyd Webber's most popular songs. The song shares its melody with "Oh What a Circus" and "Eva's Final Broadcast" from the same show. Rice and Lloyd Webber received the 1977 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.The song has since been recorded by many other performers.The title of the song comes from an epitaph on a plaque at Evita Peron's grave in the La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. The plaque was presented by the city's taxi drivers' union and roughly translates as: "Don't cry for me Argentina, I remain quite near to you.

Evita itself is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. It concentrates on the life of Argentine political leader, Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine president, Juan Perón. The story follows Evita's early life, rise to power, charity work, and eventual death. The musical began as a rock opera concept album released in 1976. Its success led to productions in London's West End in 1978, winning the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical, and on Broadway a year later, where it was the first British musical to receive the Tony Award for Best Musical. This has been followed by a string of professional tours and worldwide productions and numerous cast albums, as well as a major1996 film of the musical starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas. The musical was revived in London in 2006, and on Broadway in 2012. The show is being revived in the West End once again in 2014 at the Dominion Theatre.

And for the lyrics is :

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

By : Madonna

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

So, from the song above, we can see a historical thing and also a romantic thing for me I think. This song is sung with a little bit of British accent, so it looks more sophisticated. I hope you get more knowledge after know about this song. Okay, that's all about a simple post about a song named "Don't Cry for Me Argentina", I'm out and thank you.

- English Alphabet :
English alphabet is the second alphabet that you must know due English is the international language. This is also the basic thing that I must know as a student of English language and Culture department. This is the worldwide language at this time. This language and alphabet are available on United Kingdom, Uniteed States, Australia, and many British commonwealth country. The letter of alphabet itself is same like Indonesian alphabet :
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R T U V W X Y Z
A : ei
B : bi
C : si
D: di
E: i
F: ef
G : gee
H : aitch / haitch / hetch
I : i
J : jay
K : kay
L : el
M : em
N : en
O : o
P : pe
Q : cue
R: ar
S : ess
T : tee
U : u
V : vee
W: double-u
X : ex
Y : wy / wye
Z : zed

- Dutch Alphabet :
This is a little bit difficult alphabet for me due I'm still learn about Dutch language. This alphabet is same like English and Indonesian. Especially for Indonesian, this alphabet is very similiar due some of the Indonesian language are from Dutch language. Even it's have a similiar alphabet, but it is have a little bit different from that two languages above. The Dutch alphabet are available on The Netherlands, Belgium, and Suriname. The alphabet of Dutch is :
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R T U V W X Y Z
A : a
B : be
C : se
D: de
E: e
F: ef
G : khe / kh
H : ha
I : i
J : ye
K : ka
L : el
M : em
N : en
O : o
P : pe
Q : ky
R: er
S : es
T : te
U : u
V : ve
W: we
X : eks
Y : ei
Z : zed

So, as you can see above, that 3 languages are have a similiar and just have a little bit at the pronounce. In fact, these 3 languages are related each other. English - Dutch language are related because it is West-Germanic Languages. And for Indonesian-Dutch language are related because Indonesia is the Dutch colonial and over 350 years, Indonesian people at Dutch period using Dutch language itself. So, that's all about a simple thing about language in the 3 different language. Hope this simple article is useful for you and increase your knowledge about language. Dank U en tot ziens fellas!

Virgo Facts

Goeden Avond my fellow reader, it's happy to see you again. Well, today traffic is so bad due the flood come. Yes, I suffer the traffic jam when I'm on my way to campus, but Thank God that I can save to campus and also go back home safely. Okay, today I want to post a simple thing that related with myself, with my zodiac sign. My zodiac sign, as you can see from the title of the post is Virgo. Virgo, the virgin, is for the person who have a birthday on August 23rd - September 22nd. So, let's see what virgo characteristics and later on, maybe you will see and compare it to your friend's characteristics if your friend's zodiac is virgo same like me. And maybe later on, you can compare the things from this post to myself if you want hehehe, so check it out!

1. Virgo worries how they come across to other people, but not in the ways other people worry. Virgo wants to appear smart and well put together. They could not care less if you actually like them though. 

2. Virgo is known for being too blunt in their speech, always telling the truth even when others do not want to hear it. Though some can go the opposite way and become talented liars, as their ruling planet is Mercury. 

3. Virgo is unable to let the little things go the way other people do. It is often the tiniest details of what is wrong that will haunt them, instead of looking at the big picture.

4.  Virgo pride themselves on their ability to be honest even in situations where it is difficult for them to tell the truth. To a Virgo, if they cannot respect their own actions they do not understand how others will respect them.  

5. Virgo doesn't like to examine their feelings. They say everything is all right when it is not. Saying is all okay is a resistance method for not having to take a closer look at how they feel.

6. Virgos know exactly what they want, because theay are always thinking about it. They are thinkers. They want to get the right answer. Because of this, they can be highly critical and judgmental towards those who don't agree with them. They believe the know the right answer , because they've thought about it already.

7. Virgos are laid back but only their close friends will know how uptight they can be. They can be rather relaxed and close - off , but they also know how to be fun and exciting as well. They may not also always be talkative, but they don't really need to be. they the right amount of words to say presented in the best package possible.

8. Virgo is a good at lot of things and one of those things is hiding their true emotions. This makes it hard to read them at times. 

9. As a virgo, they need encouragement often, as they can be easily embarassed or feel as if they simply are not good enough. They tend to be easygoing but they can't stand it when people tease them or they try hard but not get results they hope for.

And after that, there are some Virgo influence. The influence are : 
- Seeks to be purpose
- Boundless energy
- Analytical problem solver
- Independence
- Over-complicates
- Fills voids
- Dedication
- Intensity
- Tireles thoughts & abilities
- Hyper-awareness
- Strives for perfection
- Tastefull
- Sensuality
- Deep-roted emotions
- Razor sharp with and intelligence

Okay, that's all about my zodiac sign, Virgo. Well, some of them for me personallity are true. I don't know about your view of Virgo. Is it true same like this post or a little bit different? The only thing that can answer it is from your point of view about your friend that have this zodiac sign. That's all for today with the topic of Virgo facts. Hope, this can be usefull for my fellow virgos friends and 'till we meet again.

Lets see the meaning of this song by from the lyrics or by the Collins perspective. The meaning of the song is simple. This one the meaning of this song : "Collins sings the song from a third-person perspective, observing as a man crosses the street to ignore a homeless woman, and he implores listeners not to turn a blind eye to homelessness because, by drawing a religious allusion, "it's just another day for you and me in paradise". Collins also appeals directly to God by singing: "Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh lord, there must be something you can say?" And also, the personnel of this song are :

Another Day in Paradise

By : Phil Collins

She calls out to the man on the street

"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Think about it 

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Just Think about it 

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Oh think twice...

Okay, that's all about the song named "Another Day in Paradise" sung by Phil Collins. For me, this song is easy to listen and I love the rhythm and the lyrics is also quite good. That's all for today, for this simple post. Bye.

Red Rose

By : Robert Burns

O my Luve is like a red, red rose

   That’s newly sprung in June;

O my Luve is like the melody

   That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

   So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

   Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,

   And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;

I will love thee still, my dear,

   While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!

   And fare thee weel awhile!

And I will come again, my luve,

   Though it were ten thousand mile.

Out Of The Blue

Hi, I'm back again. Before I write this one, i wanna ask you one question. Have you ever felt "Out of the blue"?. In Indonesian language, we can say that this word reffers to the word "galau". Well, every person especially teenagers sometimes feel this feeling right. For myself, yeah, sometimes this feeling is coming to me unexpectedly. This feeling sometimes is make the mood of someone is totally change. Not only the mood, maybe the condition or the feeling of the person is totally change. Before I tell you about this one furthermore, let's find out the word "Out of the blue" and the meaning of itself at the sources like wikipedia and any related source.

- According from Wikipedia, "Out of the blue" is : "Out of the blue" is an informal English language idiom that describes an event that occurs unexpectedly, without any warning or preparation.It is used as an adverb. The "blue" in the phrase refers to the sky, one from which a sudden plane falling is unexpected, thus it comes 'out of the blue'. 

- American, British, and Australian using the idiom "out of the blue" or "out of a clear blue sky". The meaning is if something happens out of the blue, it happens suddenly and you are not expecting it. For example: Then one day, completely out of the blue, I had a letter from her. The invasion came out of a clear blue sky and caught everyone off guard.

According from that data above, we can say that the feeling of out of the blue is come easily with the unexpected by you. This feeling is can easily you feel come in anytime and anywhere. Let's make an example using with my experience. Well, sometimes, i feel out of the blue when I hear about some songs. For example like a love song, romatic song, or some songs that related with my past or any past event in my life. The another example is when you go to some places and you feel miss the moment to come to that place with someone in the past. You feel like nostalgia and you miss the moment. Another example is even you talk tih your friends and they talk about something about maybe your last relationships, maybe your ex, and so on. For them, maybe it feels like a joke and you smile or maybe laugh to hear about that, but in your deep mind and heart, you feel something different. Don't feel this feeling is like a curse for you, just let it flow and enjoy the feeling. It is normal when you feel this feeling you know. There are several things for me it this feeling is come and happen to me. Every person have a different ways to make this feeling gone. For myself, there are several things to make this feel of out the blue gone. I can :

- Go to any places that I like alone and only myself
- Take a ride with my motorcycle to get some fresh air
- Eat anything what I want
- Listening a music
- Singing the song
- Hanging out with my friends sometime
- Sleep

Well, you can follow my things to do if I feel out of the blue, but if you have a better things to do to make this feeling gone, so go on and feel free to do that things. As a conclude, lets look from the positive one if you feel out of the blue. The positive thing is yourself need your own time. You must release your over thinking and feeling and do many things to pleasure yourself. You need to relax and enjoy your time lonely or together with your friends. Besides every memory or problem that can make you feel out of the blue, the important thing is how to manage your feeling and also how to make your own pleasure time to make you feel better or you feel release from your feel of the out of the blue. Well, that's all for me. See ya fellas.
