No Need A Tittle

It's already July. What am I gonna do in this month? never thought before. I've been in this land almost a month since the storm got lost. Wanna take some fresh air, but nothing's gonna be in my way. There's something I really wanna do, actually. But it's just in my mind. I'm too afraid of expecting something unclear, cause I know it'll be in the deepest pain if it doesn't run as well as what I expect.

Riris' Wedding

Riris is my neighbour, my best friend, and also my sister.
Yesterday was her happy day. She was married with her boyfriend. She looked so beautiful with this wedding dress, didn't she? :)

Scream So Loud !!

Dark night in an empty room
Living with small flame
Light is just on a screen
Joining the glow of a soul

Thinking of where on earth you've been dreaming
I'd like to be there with you
Laughing and hugging

Pillow, blanket, and screaming voice of the fan
They're my night friends
Looking for a reason to be asleep

For my every night
Let me have you in my dreams
Cause my heart screams so loud by missing you...

MUSIC

Music is part of my life.

No one in this world doesn’t love music, I think. Music is just beautiful it is. And I love music because I just love it. I don’t know how to explain how big I love it. If I won’t be an entrepreneur one day, I’d rather be a musician.

Do you know a famous quote from Bob Marley, “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” I like that words so much. Cause it’s true, music will never hurt. It only brings happiness if we can really feel it. When I listen to music, I feel freedom, very comfortable. For me, no day without music. Cause everyday I always listen to music everywhere and anytime I can.

In music, there are many kinds of genre that we can enjoy.

And many others else.

While in Indonesia, we have our original genre of music. There are Dangdut, Campursari, and Keroncong.

And for me, I like pop-rock the most, and also pop acoustic.

I like not only listening to music but also playing it. The first musical instrument that I played was flute. I was in the first grade of elementary school at that time. And there was a musical lesson. The teacher taught how to play a flute. And the songs that we played were Gundul-Gundul Pacul and Suwe Ora Jamu. That was the first time I learned to play music. And I just love it. It’s very easy to love music.

I can play piano too, but not so well, just the basic. :D

First time I learned it when I was in the third grade of elementary school. My father bought a piano for my elder brother. Everytime my brother played it I always followed him. Finally he taught me how to play it. Not only the practice, I also learned the theory. And until now, I’m still in progress to develop my ability to play piano. It’s something that’s very interesting for me. Cause when I play music, I’m happy, and all the pain that I feel is gone. :)

I learn to play guitar too. Cause I like watching my boyfriend playing it. And he taught me how to play. Now, I’m still in progress to learn it.

And do you know guys, music has many advantages in education.

Cause it is believed music learning activates various areas of the brain and synchronizes the mind for learning at a fast pace while stretching the memory to a higher level of retention.  Music improves cognitive learning and facilitates growth in many areas of human development, e.g motivation, social skills, time management, situational awareness, aesthetic appreciation, etc.  As we learn more about the integration of emotional intelligence and cognitive learning patterns, it is ever apparent the study of music has a direct relationship to the measured success of the individual/student via reasoning, creative thinking, decision-making, and problem solving.

So, beside it gives happiness in our life, music is also very useful in education.

As I said before, “Music is part of my life”. 

Which One Of Work at Company or As the Owner?

Well, I think this is a crucial question, because it talks about our future career.

Actually, since I was in elementary school, I always wanted to work at international company for my future career, such as international Bank, or maybe an embassy office, or being an ambassador.  Because I’ve loved English since that time. And I want to use English in my future life, so I want to work in a place where there are many people who come from other countries. Because it’ll be very nice working together with them, we can share any experience, we can know each culture, and the important one is we can communicate with international language, that is English.

But after I got the Entrepreneurship subject in this semester, my mindset was changed. Because in this subject, we are taught to be a real entrepreneur. So we have to create our own business, this means we are not permitted to be an employee.

And the advantages of being a business owner are:

Flexibility	You decide for whom to work, when to work and how to work. Many Independent Business Owner principals say the increased freedom they enjoy is the greatest benefit of being a business owner.
Earning Potential	Your service fees are closely tied to the results you produce. As an independent business owner, you get to select the clients and applications that match your earnings expectations. You control your earning potential based on the frequency you work and the results you produce. You and you alone have the opportunity to decide what your financial future holds.
Location	Independent business owners get to work from home and do not have to deal with transportation-related expenses.  Depending on the type of business, you may be able to work anywhere. For example, as a consultant you can meet with clients at their businesses and then spend the afternoon working in a coffee shop. You can often control your own salary and you do work that you truly enjoy. And after I got this subject, I have 2 options for my future career. The first option is being an employee in international company, because as I mentioned before that I really want to be an ambassador. That’s my big dream. And the second is as the owner of my own business. So,it’s very difficult to choose one of them. Bt if I do really have to choose one of them, I’d rather choose the second option. Because if I become an owner of enterprise, it’ll be easy to manage my time. Especially I’ll be a mother and also a house wife later, so I have to have more time at home for my husband and children .

CAT IN THE RAIN

This story tells about an unfortunate American woman. She came to a hotel in Italia with her husband to spend their holidays. They entered a room which was located in the second floor facing the sea.  Their room was very strategic, because it also faced the public garden and the war monument. It was raining hard. The American wife was looking out of the window. She saw a cat was bending her knees under one of the wet green tables. The cat was trying to make herself so tidy that she would not get wet.

The American wife pitied the cat. Then she went out the room to get the cat. In the first floor she met the owner of the hotel. “It’s raining”, she said. Then he replied, “Yes, yes, Madam, awful weather”. She liked him because of his good attitude. She liked the way he wanted to serve her. She liked his dignity. She liked everything in him. 

Suddenly, there was a maid opened an umbrella behind her. Then the American wife went out with umbrella in her hand. But the cat was gone, it was not there anymore. She was very disappointed because she wanted that cat very much. Then she went back inside. The maid was waiting at the door, then she closed the umbrella and went inside with that woman. The hotel’s owner saw sadness in that woman’s eyes, he understood that she was very sad because she could not get the cat.

Then she went back to her room where her husband was still reading the same book. The wife went over and sat in front of the mirror of the dressing table while she was holding a mini mirror in her hand.  Then she looked at herself in the mirror, she observed the back of her head and her neck. Actually she wanted to let her hair grow out, so she would look like a woman. Then she discussed it with George, but he disagreed, he wanted her hair clipped close like a boy’s as usual. And she told him many things what she wanted. But George did not care about that.

Suddenly the door was knocked by someone outside. The maid stood up at the door with a cat on her hand. She wanted to give the cat to the American wife.

 

The Summary of Quality (John Galsworthy)

QUALITY

Mr. Gessler, an old man who worked as a boot maker, had a very rare character. He lived with his elder brother who looked like him, but his elder brother was paler than him. They lived in two rent tenements but let into one in the West End, the part of central London where there are many theatres and many large expensive shops and hotels. But among the expensive shops, their shop was the simpler one. They did not give any sign upon its surface, there was just a board, and their German names were written on it, “Gessler Brothers”. Mr. Gessler only made what was ordered by the customers.

The writer, John Galsworthy, knew him since he was very young, because his father used to order boots to him. John usually ordered his boots to him too. And he always thought that the boots were strange but extremely good, so that’s why he admired the maker. One day, when he was in Mr.Gessler’s shop, he asked shyly to him whether it was greatly hard to make that boots or not. He asked it because he was too curious. Then Mr.Gessler showed little respect in a humorous but unkind way and answered, “Id is an Ardt!”. He was a Germans, that’s why his English was still contaminated with German.

One morning, John came to that simple shop. “How do you do, Mr. Gessler? Could you make me a pair of Russia leather boots?”, he said. Then without a single word Mr. Gessler left but soon he came back with holding a piece of gold-brown leather on his hand. Then he stated, “What a beaudiful biece!”. And he continued, “ When do you wand dem?”. John replied, “Oh! As soon as you conveniently can.”

Mr. Gessler was very disciplined, once he heard the request from his customers, he would finish the boots as soon as he could. He would make the boots with the authentic materials. It means that he wanted to give priority to the quality of the boots he made. He did not care how much the price of materials. If the customers felt satisfied with his made, he would be satisfied too. That’s why I stated in the first line of paragraph one that he had a very rare character.

After about one year John was abroad, he came back to London, and visited Mr.Gessler’s shop. He would like to order boots again. Mr. Gessler told him that his elder brother was dead, so he lived alone there. A week passed, John wanted to come there to tell him how great the new boots fitted. But when he arrived there, Mr.Gessler’s name was gone. Then he went in till he found out that the shop was totally changed.

Suddenly an English man appeared, and it made John confused. Then he asked to that English man whether Mr.Gessler was in or not. “No, sir,  but we can attend to anything with pleasure. We’ve taken the shop over. You’ve seen our name, no doubt, next door. We make for some very good people”, answered the English man. Then he told John that Mr. Gessler was dead because of starvation. He saw Mr.Gessler was sitting over his boots day and night. That old man never gave himself time to eat. Besides, he never advertised his shop, that’s why he lost everybody. John was very shocked, then he left with hiding his sadness.
