Phoenix as The Most Representative Zodiac For Human

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.

Journal Two

Writing style reflects who you are. Therefore, in order to be a good writer, you have to find out your own writing style. At least, that was I got from my lecturer. My first journal was about the importance of writing but this time, I would like to share you what I got from my writing class.



First, my writing class is upholding precision. In other words, if there is any failure on spelling or how to write something, our lecturer will cross out the words so that we can understand where our fault was. I was very conscious about what I want to write but I always miss something. Therefore, there will be some minor mistakes which is done by myself due to my lack of consciousness.

Second, I have to work a little bit harder in arranging sentences so that it becomes a good sentences and understandable for my reader. It takes long time than writing itself. I have found this struggles when I arranged sentences for my autobiography. It was stressful but thankfully, I made it.

Last but not least, I think I have to put my effort even more because I have seen a lot of unseen potential in myself. Therefore, in order to develop myself, I need to learn some vocabularies and clauses so that my writing becomes beautiful and excellent.

Self Improvement Means Struggle

Do not get it wrong. I am performing drama, by the way.
Human, as a social-based creature which means they cannot live alone in this world and have to support each other in order to live, must have had an event in their life either unusual or important event. So, what is an event? In my opinion, an event is a process which happened due to human interaction with each other and triggers memorable experiences. Therefore, all of us must have an important event in our life especially myself. Allow me to tell you more about my life.

First important event which happened in my life is my education struggle. Based on the scientific researches on factsite.com,  the average person spends 15 years in education, doing a standard eight hours per day; excluding weekends and this brings the total to 1305 days, which is 43 months compared with our average life expectancy which is estimated to be 79 years old. It means that human will spend one fifth of their lifetime from school to college. Therefore, education must have contributed something to the event which happened to human and including me.

            It started when I was at elementary school, I used to be a person which has no interest in education at all because I was the only student who had the highest score even though I did not study hard. It happened because during my school, I had no rival and my friends were lazier than myself and that made me automatically became the smartest of the dumbest but it did not make me proud of myself because I did not fight for it until that day came, the day when a new student joined with my class. It was a girl and she introduced herself as Intan. At first, I did not see her either as smart or diligent student and I thought that she was an ordinary student like the others. How bad I was!

            It was proven when she got an ordinary score for her exam. I was like: “Yeah, I am the one who have the highest score (of the dumbest)”. However, it did not last for long until she gradually managed to pass over my score and then she finally succeeded to be the smartest in my class. Ashamed yet challenged, this occurrence has become a turning point of my life and motivated me to learn and study every day so that nobody could offset over my smartness.
           
            Coming after that, the second important event was non-study related but mental enhancement for my life. It was bully, activities which is done in order to make someone else live in a painful way. What will you feel when your friends throw a full-loaded trash bin above your head in the class? Will you forgive them? I was shocked and I did not know what to do at that time. I did not blame but forgive them even my mental was still shocked after the incident. That was nothing compared to the next heart-breaking bully sequences which has made a big impact for me.

            Last but not least, the third important event was a confidence development. It came from Mr. Anas, my mathematic teacher, who has taught me how to think positively over myself. He motivated me to know myself, he said: “You have to turn yourself into you”.

            Several years after my graduation from junior high school, I did not get what he said even I repeated the words every day until I finally realized the truth powerful meaning behind it and the words have become my favorite quote for my life after. 

            Turning yourself into you means you do not have to be the other in order to have smartness, capability of doing everything but you have to develop yourself with your own way so that it makes you a better person than yesterday. Now, the last question be like: “Will you be yourself?”.

Autobiography: People Around Us


https://johntrabbic.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/crowd.jpg

Hello people! How are you? I hope you guys are okay! 

Yesterday, I have told you about my appearance and personality. This time, I would like to share you about people around myself. There are many people around me and their existence have given a big impact to my life especially to my development. On the other words, they are special for me and without their existence, I would be nothing. A bit curious, aren't you? Let us check it out!

First of all, my family. I believe that all of us will state "family" as the most special people in our life. My family has been doing the same things, too. They are always nice to me. They are my father, Simon; my mother, Sylvi; and my sister, Rachel. I am thankful because I was born in this family with their simplicity. My parents are easy going and kind-hearted. They are well-organized on doing something and this explains why I am good at arranging plans.  

My father is the most hard-working person in our family because he is able to do (almost) everything and his personality has inspired me to become like him. He is my father, the person that we can rely on whenever we have a problem. Then, my mother is the wisest person because she always gives their child some advices whenever we suffered something which cannot be solved especially when I have some meaningless fights with my sister. Next, my sister is the most talkative person in my house and trust me that you will not be able to follow what she says when she activates her super-fast talking mode. Do you know rapper singer? Yeah, I think her super-fast talking mode is faster than a rapper singer. Hahaha.

Talking about family, we have our quality family time in order to strengthen our bonds with each other. Usually, it is on the weekends because we can spend our day without worrying anything and we share everything about our funny or inspiring experience to build some good atmosphere among us. Believe it or not, a lot of people see our family have no limitation in the relationship because you can not see the barrier between a mother and child. However, that is just what people say about our family. In fact, we have barrier in order to respect each other and we also have our own privacy although sometimes we share our struggle.

The second is my friend. I have many friends and all of them have contributed to my self development. Through struggle and misunderstood, by the anger and fight, the process happened to develop my life to be better than yesterday. However, I have never hated my friends although they are doing something bad to me and that is why my mom said to me that I was too kind to everyone.

There is another reason why I had so many friends. Do not be surprised because I have moved from six different schools; they are SD Siswa Tama, SDN Petiken III, SMPN 10, SMPN 28, SMAN 22 and the last one was SMAK St. Louis 2. Of course, at every school, everyone acknowledges myself better than any other students due to my uniqueness.

If you think that my cleverness was innate from my parents then you are totally wrong. I did not get it instantly through an instant way. I have suffered breath-taking moments which cannot be imagined by everyone even my mother did not know about this story. Through bullying, I pushed myself harder than everyone in order to prove that Yonatan is not the person like what they have said to me before.

Dear friends wherever you are, do not let bully make yourself being unconfident but let bully makes you stronger than before. Prove that you are not the person like that by pushing yourself harder than before. Let the world knows that you are capable of doing everything.

Last words. A quote says: “There are millions people who live in this world. Then, why are you letting one of them bring you down?”. It means, do not listen about what they have said to you but prove yourself that they are wrong.

Autobiography: About Appearance and Personality

The first winner of making poem, story telling, speech contest. I've got three cups in a row beating other colleges.
(I was Senior High at that time).
Who Yonatan is? How is his appearance? Let us know more about Yonatan. First things first, let me reintroduce myself (I have done that before on my first post). My name is Yonatan Alexander but Yonatan or Nathan will do. I was born on June 22, 1996 in Surabaya.

That is right! I am a nineteen years old boy who is currently studying at Widya Mandala University. Eventhough, I am already nineteen years old, people will think that I am fifteen because of my facial which is younger than my friends. My height is 165 centimeters and I weigh around 45 kilograms. So, it isn't their fault if many people thought that I am fifteen. Moreover, I have a short curly black hair which has been hair straightened for four times. In fact, I used to have a straight hair when I was a baby until my age had reached 15 years and then it became curly due to my illness. Now, what about my personality? 

Enthusiastic, cheerful and passionate represent my personality. If you want to go out with me, you will have to bring a lot of money because I eat a lot. Haha. Seriously, because if you do not, you will have to go to the ATM at time. The good thing is it was just a joke. So, do not take it too far. Besides, I will not do that to my friends. 

Back to my personality, I am friendly. Therefore, do not get surprised if everyone always acknowledges me. One of my friends says: "How many friends have you had? Look, everyone is saying hi for you". Well, I do not know because I have never counted it before. 

Anyway, I am a tactful person, let us say tactician, because I will manage a plan before doing something. I would love to apply my tactics for my study, future target and competition. Therefore, whenever you ask me to join a competition, you will not regret it because I will show you my battle tactics from what I have learned before.

Last but not least, what makes people think that I am smart is my achievement and they often ask me about the secret behind it. I have no secret. I am not smart, I have no skill at anything. The key is on the tactics. A quote says: "Your biggest enemies are not people who stand in front of you but your biggest enemy is your own self". That means, you have to push yourself in order to achieve something higher than your capacity. Have a good day! Thank you for reading my post!

Nowadays, writing skill has become important things for our daily life since almost all of us do not know how to write something with a proper format or structure. Therefore, writing class in Widya Mandala is held in order to enhance yet develop our writing skill to get better. Surely, writing class has become my favorite class since I have no skill in writing at all.

At first, I was ashame of myself because all of my friends were good in writing. But, I have to push myself to learn more so that I can write better for the next time. I believe that if I have a will to learn something, there will be no more barrier in myself.

In the first meeting, our lecturers told us about the purposes of writing class, the importance of writing skill for our daily life and also how to make a blog. I have learned a lot from it and I am thanksful because of it. In the second meeting, I have learned about how to write a unique story for our blog. Then, I have learned about how to make proper sentences in English so that I can apply it for the next writing session.

Gradually, my writing skill has improved in a good way because of writing class. But still, I have to learn even more so that readers are able to understand what I am going to say in my writing. Thank you for reading, I hope you guys are inspired by this post!

I Thought You Were Someone



It was an ordinary day when I went to the shop with my sister. I was looking around because I had nothing to do. Of course, I did it because I was tired of waiting for my sister. After that, I saw a big guy that similar with my friend named Hugo.

I was sure that it was him. So, I managed to surprise him with my silly joke. I thought maybe he would get surprised if I shouted at him loudly from behind. Then, I came closer to him slowly like a thief and tried to blend with the people around me so that he could not realize it.

“Dor! Hugo. How are you?,” I said but he did not get surprised until he turned his face to me. Oh my, it was not him but a strange guy. That was embarrassing. I said: “Sorry, I thought you were someone..”.
