Short Trip in the Last Week of 2015

Good evening fellas, how about your day? And finally, holiday is coming! Where have you been on this holiday? Go to the another city, go abroad, or even just stay at home? Whatever it is, those are the ways that you enjoy the holiday itself. By the way, I want to share about my holiday, a short trip I guess with my friends. I have been go to the another city with my friends last sunday.  I go with Ricky, Ramon, Lisa, Merisa, Calvin, and Candy. We go to the Bogor, a city near our beloved city, Jakarta. Well, there are so many stories that we've been made and it was an exciting trip that we've been made. Ok, I tell you a story about my short trip to the Bogor with my friends in this last week of the 2015.

Start in the 5 in the morning, I woke up and take a bath. I have been prepared the things that I will bring it on the trip. Things like rain coat, mineral water, money, personal weapon ( I bring brass knuckle for make my friends and me safe on the trip), and so on. Okay then, after that, since my mother want to go to the church, then I go to the chruch first to take my mother on there. After that, I go to Lisa's place in the Pluit. Arrived on there, all of my friends are not coming yet, except Lisa because she is stay in here place and Ramon wait us in the Jakarta Kota Station. Wait until at least 1 hour, several of my friends are coming one by one. Starting from Calvin and his girlfriend, Candy, and then Ricky, and last is Merisa. After that, we go to the Pluit Transjakarta Station to go to the Kota by using the Transjakarta itself (Tranjakarta is like a bus that connect each station spread out in the Jakarta's areas). And we arrived in the Kota Station and meet up with Ramon. Well, we buy a ticket to go to the Bogor and the train will go at 10 o'clock if I'm not mistaken. While we wait the train, we go to the small mart to buy some snack such as bread, coffee, and so on because we haven't got out breakfast. Time is go fastly, and then the train is coming. We go inside the train and sit up on there. While we sitting up, we were surprised that we go with a wrong train, poor us. So, we deciding to stop at the Manggarai Station and using another train to go to the Bogor. Well, in the Manggarai Station, the situation is a little bit crowded because I think it is a holiday. Train is come and we go to the train. We haven't got any seat because the situation in the train itself is full. Well, it doesn't matter. We still excited to go to the Bogor by standing in the train. Time is stop on the 11 o'clock and yeay, we arrived in the Bogor.

After that, we go outside the station to go to the Kebun Raya Bogor using 'angkot'. And we have one, but the funny thing is we rent the 'angkot' with around Rp 50.000,00 , so don't need to thingking to much, we rent it. Just a few minutes, we are arrived in front of the Kebun Raya Bogor. Wohoo, Ramon is excited to go to the museum near the Kebun Raya Bogor itself and me too, but some of my friends seems that not really excited because they think going to the museum is a bored thing to do (ohh come on, not really bored as people think). But that's okay, we decided to have a plan to go to the museum after we get our picnic. By around Rp 3.500,00, we buy our tickets to go inside the Kebun Raya Bogor itself. After that, we finding the best spot for us to get our picnic. After taking a long walk, we got the spot. The spot is near the big tree and I forgot the name of the tree since it is using a Latin words. Not taking too long, we prepared our things to do our  picninc. We prepared our foods, drinks, meats, and so on. Ricky and Calvin are grill the meat, We have a great moment, we laugh together, we share each other, and take a pictures together. And evening is come, we decided to go to the one restaurant in Bogor named "Pizza Kayu Bakar'.  We go to that restaurant still taking a walk. Before we continue our walk, we go to the one department strore to buy drinks because we have been thirsty around the Kebu Raya itself. And after we buy the drinks, we continue our way. On the way, we stop to the one store that sell 'Kue Talas Bogor'. We stop it because I need to buy that cake that my mother want that cake, and several of my friends also buy the cake itself. After we buy the cake, we continue our way. Well, it is a long way and also make my feet tired because of this long way but er enjoy it by laugh each other. Finally, after a long way, we arrived in the Pizza Kayu Bakar Restaurant, but we need to wait because on that restaurant, it is crowded by the people who take their meal  on there. We've got number 2 on the waiting list. And after a half minutes, we got the spot on the second floor. We order one Smoked Beef Pizza and 6 Iced tea as our drink. We eat the pizza together by split it into 7 slices of Pizza. Time is near the night, and the weather is raining. We decided to go back to the station as soon as possible. We go to the main street by walking and lucky for us, we got the 'angkot' that it is directly to the station and another lucky thing is the rain is more cats and dogs while we are already in the angkot itself. And several minutes, we arrived in the station that our clothes are a little bit wet beacuse the rain itself.

In the station, we wait several minutes to refill our ticket and after that, we see the schedule of the train that what time that the train is go to the Jakarta Kota Station. We see it and we surprised that the train is going to go now. Without any thinking, we run to go the train but we late, the train is already gone. Huhh, so we waiting for the next train. We sit near the railroad. Sevral minutes we waiting, the train is come. We get hurry to go into the train and we make it. We take a sit, and enjoy the way to go to the Jakarta Kota Station. We arrived in the Jakarta Kota Station around 8 o'clock in the evening. After that, Ramon split up from us. He go home earlier. The rest of us are going to the Lisa's place to get out motorcycles because our motorcycles are park on her place. We go back to the Lisa's place using Transjakarta.

The story is going through while we confused about our destination, we forgot the station that it is stop in front of the Lisa's place. We discuss it and we believe that the station is Pinang Ranti Station. We get on the bus and we sit on there. While on the bus, I think that we got a wrong bus. Without any too long to think, I tell the others and it seems that the other also believe that we are in the wrong bus. We asking to the one of the officer that he have a duty on that bus, and yes, we have a wrong bus. Beacuse we've got a wrong bus, we stop in the Slipi station and waiting the bus that it will take us to our right destination, Pluit Station. After an hour, the bus is come. We go inside and enjoy the ride with the tired expression. Night is coming, and finally we arrived in the Pluit Station. We still have to go to the Lisa's place using  our foot. Wow, I feel my foot are heavy beacuse of this journey. After several minutes we taking a walk, we arrived on Lisa's place. We directly get out motorcycles. We say goodbye each other and we go back to our house.

That was a short trip but for me, it is like a long journey with a bond of friendship. We enjoy the trip, we laugh together, we tired together, we share each other, and the important thing is, we make our bond of friendship more deeper than before. I'm happy to have this trip with all of my friends. I hope that our friendship is longlasting friendship, just like a moment that we've been made a story for our life on this trip. See you guys on the next trip Ricky, Lisa, Ramon, Merisa, Calvin and Candy! Happy to have a journey and make a story with you guys!

Decision of The Subject

Hi guys! It's been a long month after I post something in this blog. Well, sorry for this very late post because the assignments is more insane at this time. Assignments are coming day by day and we suffer the fast time to make the assignments ready for collect to the teachers. By the way, are you feel the feelings just like I do? Let's say pressure, tired, or anything beacuse the subjects or tasks in your place? Well, I hope that we can suffer from the time that make us feel tired or anything kinda like that and passed all the things that we've already made with a best result.

Anyway, I've been applied my KRS ( in Bahasa is Kartu Rencana Studi). KRS is a thing or a list for next semester for us about what subjects that we will take. It seems that  it is just like a plan list of the subjcects. Let's talk about this one first before we talk about the major that I've been took for the next semester. There are 12 packet of KRS that campus are offer for us. So, we can choose which one that we will take for the next semester. There are different between the 20 KRS and 22 KRS, although the different is just the one subject. So it means that if you choose the 22 KRS, it just add the extra subject for you in the next semseter. I've been excited to apply the KRS itself. So, after I see all the packet of the KRS, I choose the KRS that contain  of the translation and Literature subjects.

Ohh by the way, in this packets of KRS. There are only 2 subjects that we can choose with the 2 additionals subjects. The main subjects are Translation and Teaching, and for the additionals subjects are Literature and Linguistics. Well honestly, I will choose Literature as the main subject and the additional one is Translation, but it is too bad that Literature is not the main subject. So, well I choose a packet of KRS that contains the subject of Translation and Literature. That packet that I've been choose also have an interesting subject for me. The subject is English for Journalist. I'm exicted too be a journalist, beacuse it seems that interesting if you can go somewhere and find the story and publicate it and you spread the knowledge, story or ideas for the peoples. So, after a thinking a little while to choose the packet of the KRS, then I choose that one that contains of Translation and Literature, and I hope that I can passed it and it is the best decision for me for the next semester.

Okay then, that is the short story for the decision of the subject for the next semester that I've been choose and apply it. Hope it is the best decision for me and also it is the best subjects or major for me then. Keep up the good work fellas! Stay healthy and shared a smile to the world! Dag! :)

New Friends, New Experiences, New Story

Until this day, I have been busy because the fifth semester have been started. Now, I am in fifth semester, yeah fifth semester. Seems like all the subjects now is more harder than before and also there are a lot of assignments. Before the fifth semester started, I have been participated on one of the national competition. The competition is NUDC which is stand for National University Debate Championship. This the third national competition in a year that I have been participated. For this year, we just reach at rank 17. For the quarter final, it must be top 16, so we can't reach the quarter final. It is very very too close. But, maybe next time we can reach the quarter final or even the final round. Other thing is I moved out to Rajawali, near Pademangan. Well, honestly, to live in a flat is a little bit hard, especially is about the financial. You must be wise to using and spend your money. It's a nice thing to do because you can be more independent, more wise to using your money and also you can manage your money more better but, the bad thing is you are far with your family. Everything has is vice versa right? It depends on what your opinion stand with. Another thing for this month is I got so many new friends. This month, freshmens are come and start to study in our department. There are several peoples that I have met and also be a friend. Well, the important thing for this month is I must more focus on all of the subjects to make my GPA more better than before. This fifth semester is different with others semesters before. We learn the new subjects and also more harder than before. I hope I can be a better person at this month, I can study well, I can have a good relations with all of my friends, and especially are stay healthy, be a positive person, and be a happy person. See ya!

6 Promises for Myself

At this time, there are so many things happen for me. Most of them are the things or stories that I didn't want to know it. But, the good thing is I think I got several lessons from what is happened to me right now. This lessons are teach me when I got those things that makes me feel upset to the people around me. After I think and keep thinking about this one in this recent weeks, I commit myself to have named "6 Promises for Myself." What is "6 Promises for Myself" anyway? 6 promises is a things that I make for myself to more caution with the condition and also more selective with the person that I choose. You know that friends and enemies are similiar to me, both of them are just like a reflections that haunting me for all days. So, to make another bad things happen and to prevent any conflicts with another persons, I commit myself to make "6 Promises for Myself". So, what is the content of the "6 Promies for Myself" itself? The contents are :

1. Never Trust Anyone
This one is a logic one for me since I've been dissapointed by several peoples around me. I've been dissapointed because I have already trust them but it seems that they are not trust with me. The extreme one is several of peoples are make my dream lost and must forget it forever. It seems that trusting anyone and anybody with wholeheartedly is the mistake that I have been made. Never trust anyone because all of them are have a reasons why they are standing with you and after they get it, you are alone and also you are on your own.

2. Never Expect Anyone or Anybody
Same with the number 1 but if the number one is about trust, number 2 is about expecting people. Expecting people such as help us, and something kinda like that. It is better now to work alone withou expecting someone or somebody because if they just help us only a half way, all of our dream or target will be disappear and lost forever. It happens to me now, and this time, all of my dreams are lost because of expecting too much with other peoples.

3. Be a Cold Person
This is not be a person that full of ice, it is about a person that don't really care about around me and don't really care about anything such as another persons problem. Be a cold person because I've been tired to help people. Not because I hate to helping people, but I dissapointed because where they are when myself need a help?

4. Focus with Only Myself, Not Others
Yes this one is an important thing I think. At sevral times, it seems that I have been focus on other peoples than myself. It is time to focus with myself, and never involve with others problem. Even they need my help to give a suggest or e.t.c, just give an asnwer that "I don't know". It's a soft thing to do to tell that I don't know, if they are insist, extreme action is allowed.

5. Think About Only My Dreams, Targets, and Achievements without Thinking Others
I've been helping peoples in several things, but know, it's time to help myself, not them. It is enough to helping peoples targets, dreams, or achievements. After I help them, then what? I don't get anything, even a word "thank you" is not. When I focused on myself, several peoples are trying anything to stop me and my dream. I have been be a nice guy at this time, if anybody or anyone are trying again to stop me and my dream, achievements, e.t.c, extreme action is a best thing to do.

6. Be Careful on Which Side That you Stand or Live
There are so many peoples that it seems like ther are good and nice with you but there are something that is is hide for you and they are not looks like nice as you think. Be careful on which person that you trust. Not of them are the persons that you can't trust. Once you stand or live in a wrong side or decision, you are end up.

The truth for this one is I never expect to do this and commit myself to be kinda like that, but the condition is force me to do that. Not because I am becoming bad or a be a cruel person, I'm just want to make a caution with myself. I don't want dissapointed by other peoples and also I don't want my another dreams are gone or lost because of several persons. I am just tired because of my condition for this recent times, ang people again and again give me a pressure, pressure, and pressure. It seems like my head and my heart wants to blowing up. I just want even just a one thing that can makes me happy and someone that standing with me together. I don't know until when I keep this promises and exist in myself, only the time and the conditions will answer it.

"Who put this thing together? Me, that’s who! Who do I trust? Me!"

"I never fucked anyone over in my life who didn’t have it coming to ’em."

"Every day above ground is a good day."

"I always tell the truth. Even when I lie."

Aahh, Holiday Time is Come!

Finally, after the long semester and also so much assignments to do, especially the final exam, the holiday is come! Wohoo, holiday time, I'm waiting that time. Time that I can take a rest, sleep, hanging out, and anything else to spend this holiday time. Anyway, the first thing that I do in this holiday time is sleep. Yes, sleep! It is the important thing to do when we are in the holiday time (hahaha). The other things to do are like I learn more about Dutch language, browsing an information from the internet, playing games, etc. Ooh, and also I hanging out together with my friends. But, at this holiday time, maybe I'm little bit bored because I didn't go to outside from the town. At this holiday, maybe I'm just in Jakarta, especially in my beloved house. Well, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy your holiday time with several activities that I can do in my house. The positive thing is also I can save my money because I didn't go anywhere hehehe. Just info that next semester, I move out to Pademangan, North Jakarta. Yes, I'm going live in boarding house. Why I moved out? Maybe because I'm tired if I come and go from East Jakarta to North Jakarta and vice versa. You don't know about the traffic jam when it is in the busy time in the evening. So, I need to spend this holiday in my beloved before I moved out to Pademangan. Being a student that lived in boarding house is a little bit difficult you know. Ya so - so, if you can manage your time, have a good relationship with your next door, and especially manage your money. And also, the next semester is more tough than this semester. The subjects for next semester is about the basic subjects for go to next semester, which is next semester is I'm going to choose the specific subjects. There are 4 subjects that it is about. The subjects are Literature, Translation, Linguistics, and Teaching. Well, personally, I choose Literature and Translation. I don't want to take Teaching beacuse I can't teach a person anyway hahaha. So, to prepared it on the next semester, I need to chill out and relax for a while before start a new semester. Okay, that is a simple post about the holiday time at this month. All I do is having a relax time and also take a rest, or do the things that I will do later in this holiday time. So, this is about my holiday time, what about you?

Month of Complicated

Well this month is a busy month for me. A month that really complicated, full of busy time, a lot of assignments, conflict between each others, problem in the organization, and all of the pressures is very close with me for this month. Yeah, May is the month that full of story and pressure for me. Starting that 2 weeks that full of national competitions, ALSA UI and The ICON Untar, we did good but unfortuantely, we didn't win for both of those competitions. The pressure of the competitions is something that me and several of my friends feel that it is make us very tired. After that, the busy time is continue when I am be a commitee for subtitling competition for internal of my campus and external from the other campus. Subtitling competition, and then problem in the organization between several of the members. There is a problem that it is makes situation is messed up. One say that, another one say this, the other want say another again, it is a messy situation. Well, personally, due to the fact that I'm tired and feel stressed up after the competitions and being a commitee, after something makes me angry, I decided keep my mouth shut and keep my anger just for myself. Days has been flow, another conflict is come between me and several persons. It is about being a new candidate for the next leader in my organization. Honestly, it makes me really angry and have a conclude that everyone can be an angel and can be a devil in a single time. Fortunately, the conflict has been resolved by us and each side have been satisfied with each agreement that we were agree. After of those stories from this whole days in a single month, the conclude is this month is full of pressure, problems, and also a little bit messy. But just take a positive thinking and also positive side from each problems. We can know that first, it is better to keep your anger, etc, just for yourself. It is useless to show your anger, dissapointed, etc, because it's just can make problems or conflicts more worst. Second, do not believe in each persons or a words that just a gossip that you've been heard about. Honestly, I try to believe to every persons that I met, but everything is change since it is come a gossip or a words that peoples think that it is from my word or I do that, so they will think that I'm a bad person. It is a good idea to keep your idea, dissapointed with specific person, or anything else just for yourself and the only know about that is only yourself. We don't know which one is an angel and which one is a devil. Both of them are quiet similiar if you live in a society that have a different peoples. The other thing that it is makes me feel to think hard and have a pressure about that is become a leader for my organization and the final exam. Yet, it is still unknown that where the campaign and also the ellections is held. But I hope that I can be the next leader if a chance on my side. I want to make my organization is more better that before, make each persons in my organization growing up together, being a leader together, and teach them to be a better person. I hope that next month will be more friendly with me. I'm just can pray to God that everything will be okay, makes me be a better person, give me a strength to pass each day and not to easy to giving up, give me a great thing and also another experience that it is very usefull for me, and the important one is God will be with me and also direct my way through all the days. Tot de volgende keer, God zal leiden en zegen mij. Dank U and God bless!

Story of The ALSA National Competition 2015

This is about the story of The ALSA National Competition 2015 that I have been participated several days ago. Well for me, the competition for this year is more spectacular beacuse there are 700 delegates from many universities around Indonesia. This year, my campus, Universitas Bunda Mulia has send delegates to participate in the category of Battle of Brains (BoB) and Spelling Bee. For Bob, there are 2 teams and for Spelling Bee, there are 2 persons joined up. This is the names that represent UBM for the competition :

First day is for technical meeting and opening ceremony. All of the delegates meet up at the UBM Housing and we together go to the UI with train due transportation for us from campus is not available for that day. So, at the morning, the story start when we go to UI with tarin. It is very fun at the train in the morning. This is the first time for Marchelli using train and this is my second times using train since I'm at the third class in the junior school. The situation of the train is not really crowd, so we can sit on the train, chat and enjoying the view from the train together. At the 7 in the morning, we arrived at the UI station. We walk together to the Faculty of Law. After we arrived, we re - regist ourselves and sit together at the bench to wait for the opening ceremony. When the opening cermony begin, we sing our national anthem "Indonesia Raya" and watch several traditional dances and also several traditional songs. After that, due the technical meeting is on the afternoon, we take our breakfast at the canteen. We order several foods such as fried chicken, hamburger, and noodle. The campus gives us money to use it for our breakfast, lunch and also for our transportation. Time goes on and the afternoon come. The technical meeting is start. For the technical meeting of Bob, we see several rules and also several rounds for the competition itself. And, the technical meeting also for draw the team to which group they will stand. And after the draw, I got group that contains of UPI team B and also Unair and for the UBM team B got Upan and UPI team A. Wow, we surprises for the result of that draw itself. After the techincal meeting, we go back to Jakarta with the train to the destination of Jakarta Kota station. We reach the Jakarta Kota station around a hour and when we arrived on there, we luckily got the campus bus, so we can go back to campus easily and free. How lucky we are! After we reach the campus, we go home and take a rest for the competition.

Secon day, it is the day for Battle of Brains (BoB) competition. The team A and also team B go to the UI with a car from campus and also Mr. Alvin's car. Mr. Alvin and Mrs. Suwarni will with us to accompany the teams during the competition. And also, Ricky, Marianne and Tracy joined us to be our supporters. The team A go with Mr. Alvin's car and for team B and the supporters go with the campus car. We arrived at the UI and wait for the re - registration at 10. While we waiting for the re - registration, we take our breakfast on the canteen again. The time is come. we re - regist and enter the room for the competition. The team A and team B separated in two room.  Ricky and Tracy watch and be a supporters for team A and Marianne and Mrs. Suwarni watch and be a supporters for team B. Because I joined up in the Team A, I just give you a story from my room. The competition is start and I feel the pressure condition of the competititon and also for every rounds itself. There are several rounds like Jumble Words, Jumble Paragraph, Kill or Be Killed and the last one is Overkill. For the Jumble Words, we lost 2 points and for the Jumble Paragraphs, we lost at least 3 points. The round of 'Kill or Be Killed' is begin. It is the tough round. Every participants can kill other opponents participants and save their teams member if the persons has been killed. Ramon has been killed by UPI team B but I save him later. After that, it seems UPI team B and Unair are kill each other and our group are wait for the best time. After we wait for the good time, Unair lost all his member and lost at this round, after that we kill all the participants from the UPI team B and we won the round. The last round is come, UPI team B and Unair are still killing and decreasing each other. At the end, Unair has been defeated with the score 40 and next is our team, UBM team A got 120 points, and the winner is UPI team B with 220 points. Both of the teams from our campus didn't make it into the semi final. I'm very dissapointed and feel sad at that time but Mrs. Suwarni give us applause and said we did a good job. To cooling down our minds and our feeling of dissapointed, we buy an ice cream and spend our time a while before we go back to UBM. Before we go back, we take a picture in front of the faculty and after that we go back to our campus.

Third day, I didn't go the UI because I have been defeated last day and just the participants of Spelling Bee that goes to UI. Marianne and Marchelli are attend the Spelling Bee competition with Mr. Alvin with some supporters, Tracy and Flavianna. Both of them are reach the quarter final, but for the semi final, just Marchelli that she is reach the semi final. Marianne defeated at the quarter final. After the competition, their took some pictures at the faculty and go back to our campus.

Well, I'm still very disapointed because I didn't make it to reach at least to the semi final, but game is a game. Win or lose is common in the competition. I hope, next year I can participate in this competition again and I wish that me and my teams reach at least the semi final or maybe the final. Thank you for all the participants that represent Bunda Mulia University on this competition, good job everyone and we did well. Keep up the good work and keep your spirit for the other competition!

Valentine's Day in 2015

Hai guys, goeden middag alles of mijn vriend. It's been a long time since the last posting that I post. Yaa as you know, now I'm in the 4th semester. 4th semester, more harder and more tough semester than tha last 3 semesters before. Even it is more harder and tougher, I must keep spirit to get the best score for all the subjects in this 4th semester. Today, I want to post a simple thing that peoples are celebrate something at this day. Anyway, today is 14th February, 2015 and it means that today is Valentine's day right? Behouden Valentijnsdag voor U en alles of mijn vriend then. Well, for them who celebrate the Valentine's day with someone special, I said you lucky pal. For those who don't have someone special for this Valentine;s day, it's alright. For this Valentine's day, I same with all of my friends that still single and not have a girlfriend at this Valentine's day hahaha. Well but don't worry, we can still enjoy the Valentine's day with ourselves right. Valentine's day is doesn't mean that you must celebrate it with your girlfriend or boyfriend right. You can enjoy your time alone, I mean have your own quality time or maybe you can celebrate the Valentine's day with your friends maybe. Spending time with your friends during the Valentine's day is the thing that can make your relation with your friends are more closer you know. But I think, the best one to celebrate the Valentine's day is giving your gift or love to your parents, especially your mom. You can say "Happy Valentine's day mom, I love you so much," and give her hug to express your love. Yaa even give a gifts to your boyfriend or girlfriend are so romantic, but the most romantic one is giving your love and say "I love you" to your parents. The conclude is, it doesn't need to wait a Valentine's day to express your care or your love to the loves one, but it can be express for every day. Give the best one from you to your lovers and loving one. Giving a love to the persons that you loved and give them the joy of love. Once again, Behouden Valentijnsdag voor U en alles of mijn vriend en tot ziens.
