"Thou, the most precious things. Ye shall cover the truth and lead our way. Shall I compare thee to a star in the sky? Thou art beautiful and set me free. Thou beest magnificent. Thou dost good but have to be found.  What hast thou? Thou hast my faith. Thou art mine. Thou beest love."




Chapter 1 : Poison


             It was a rainy day when the wind was blowing through his heart before he had realized who she was. She was the last and would be the only one. When he said that he loved her, he meant it from the bottom of his heart. He was sure that it was love.

            “jij bent van mij”, Zavian said.
            “ik ben de jouwe”, Kimmy replied.
          
            They walked hand in hand. They were saying that they would love each other forever. Day by day, they went together wherever the wind led them. Zavian was very confident about their relationship. Unfortunately, Kimmy did not think the same because Kimmy was not really looking for it.

            Zavian was an Indonesian man who was living in Netherlands. He has dated with Kimmy, a beautiful blonde girl, which made Zavian’s life has completed. It supposed to be a happy story because their stories and memories were too many. Suddenly, his phone got buzzed by his friend. It was an urgent message which was said that Zavian had to go to mall and it was about Kimmy. The question is: What happened to Kimmy?

            He ran, he jumped out from where he sat. He went to the mall as soon as possible because he thought that Kimmy was in danger. Few minutes later, he arrived and then he met his friend. However, his friend did not say anything after he had arrived.

            “Tell me what is going on!”
            “You should not come here. I am not sure that you will be happy because of it.”
            “Just tell me where she is!”
            “She is there.”

            Zavian turned his eyes and he saw Kimmy, the girl who sat with another guy and cuddling each other in the café. He had been forced to see what he did not want to see. In fact, that was the reality. Kimmy, was not a loyal girl.

            “You should not go with a blonde girl, Zavian. I get informed that most of them are not the loyal one.”
            “Don’t you dare to say it again, Kimmy is different!”
            “Well, just take a look at her. Your loyal Kimmy. You should not believe anyone easily, Zavian!”

            Then, Zavian left the mall. He lost something which was called love. Zavian has no idea what to do. Therefore, Zavian chose to go away from anyone. He wanted to go somewhere, at a place where people might not see him because he wanted to be alone.

At the strange place. Zavian broke down in tears.

“Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha. It is your favorite song, isn’t it?”


            After he had made up his mind. Zavian planed to go to his hometown, Indonesia. He has lost everything, he thought. He decided to forget his past, his memories and his beloved one. The day after, everything was ready. He has prepared things to be brought. As he left the door, he remembered everything about her. Suddenly, he said:



            “I pick my poison and it is you. Nothing can kill me like you do!”

Journal Three

21.13 Yonatan Alexander 0 Comments




            What is writing? Writing is a process when someone decanting their notions. I do believe that writing has become part of life because in writing, human carves histories and our ancestor did. They left us some writing in order to retrace history.

            Receiving, sharing and giving. Those are three elements which I gained during my writing class. Sounds simple but it has a meaningful impact. Receiving means we are listening to what our lecturers say. Sharing means we write everything about what is going on around us and giving means we give suggestion to the others so that they could improve their writing skill, too. By doing those three, our writing skills have just improved naturally.

            Best thing since sliced bread. I have been making some innovations to improve my skills. However, I felt like I was not playing with a full deck, was I? It was proven when I failed to write recount text about International Culture Festival and Celebration because I accidentally wrote it as a review text. It seems that my job as a “thing”-reviewer has affected my writing.

            Speaking of which. I am in trouble lately. As my dream to be a Polyglot, I have to study five different languanges, five different grammars and five different accents that affect everything which is related to my english skill development. In fact, my score has dropped down into the deepest level and I have no idea what to do. Do I have to give up with my dreams or just let it flows?


Penny for your thoughts?

Beyond Expectation: The Magnifico International Culture Festival and Celebration

23.07 Yonatan Alexander 2 Comments




                Few days ago, Widya Mandala, a campus where I am currently studying at, held an event entitled International Culture Festival and Celebration. At that time, I was thinking about how the event would be like and I even lost my touch with reality. However, the event turned up to be different than my expectation. Before explaining my impression, are not you curious about my imagination?

          Down to the memory lane, the day when I was sitting at LMM to have a writing class session, I got informed by Mrs. Ice about why there were many students who were absent at that time. She explained that most of the students were chosen to be the representative and they were not able to attend the class. Then, she reinformed us about the Culture Festival and Celebration. Cling, it was light bulb which appeared above my head and then I started to imagine the event.

          At first, I thought that the event would be such a boring event because we would have to hear presentation from each representative. I had known that there were not many people who is born with an excellent presentation skill and it automatically gave me a doubt about how the event would be. How rude I was!

          However, thank you to the English Department Student Association which made my imagination gone wrong! They were so well-prepared and everything was beautifully set at it places. It took me for a while to convice myself whether it was for real or not. I was like: “Oh no, is this for real?”.

          Both EDSA and also Widya Mandala have put their biggest effort for the event and it appeared to be such an outstanding yet plausable event because they could arrange this magnifico (Italian, read: beautiful) event smoothly. My impression? Hats off!

          As my dream to be a Polyglot, a person who is able to speak more than five languages, this event such an answer to my prayer. Although, the representative only taught us about the basic one. At least, I have learned the way how they pronounce something and also their accent. Surely, it gave me something to learn.

          Surprisingly, I was more than proud of my country because our Widya Mandala’s representative has brought a very unique presentation about Nasi Pecel and everything related to Nasi Pecel. Honestly, I used to hate Nasi Pecel but since Widya Mandala has given their presentation, somehow it has changed my perspective.

          Last but not least, I hope this very meaningful event will be held again for the next year and it is getting more attractive than the past event because from this event, we, as a Widya Mandala’s student (and of course as Indonesian) can learn how to appreciate our country either neighboring country’s culture.

Phoenix as The Most Representative Zodiac For Human

00.28 Yonatan Alexander 0 Comments

During our century, human remains to live by their own curiosity. Everyday and everytime human keep doing some researches in order to answer their natural desire. For instance, zodiac. As we have known, zodiac represent 12 signs of 12 period. Their existence was determined by astrologists who learn about sun and star distribution which is called “constellation”.

However, 12 zodiac seems a bit unfair and need to be balanced by adding one more zodiac. Therefore, I would like to add Phoenix as the most representative sign to the human. The question is what is Phoenix and why it has to be a Phoenix?



According to Wikipedia, Phoenix is a long lived bird which assosiated with the sun and it has ability to revive from death. A phoenix might just simply dies and decomposes before being born again. Although Phoenix is a mythical animal which means it has never existed. Phoenix might be the answer how human can be survived from their life struggle.

Being born from ashes and then grow into a beautiful magnificent creature. Phoenix was admired because its beauty and so do human. Basically, God created human to be more beautiful than any creatures which have ever existed on the world. The vital point is do human realize it or not?

Ambitious, cheerful, brave and open minded. Phoenix lives and flies freely than any birds in this world. When a phoenix flies, none of birds are able to follow the direction. Its fire represent that human could be such an ambitious person but sometimes its fire might be dim when darkness comes against us. However, watch out for the gasoline. When fire meets gasoline, it will not be a song title which is sung by Sia but this "gasoline" can trigger fire into a big one.
 

Sometimes human might feel depressed and lose their life purpose but when they have successfully found what their life for, they will have such a meaningful life. Besides, human have the same ability like Phoenix. Yeah, human have the ability to revive or to rise. Revive whenever storm strikes our life, revive when we think that we will not able to do something which is exceeds our capacity and revive when we have fallen into pieces.

On the other hand, although human such a beautiful creature. They have to realize that soon they will become ashes. It means that human must not be proud of their ability. We have no rights to be proud of ourselves because our “ability” was only because of God, our creator.
