Some People are Just Numb at Hearts

Just copied this news below from  this online news website .  I just don't understand why. Why an elementary school that's full of children. Innocent children. Being murdered. Senseless. "NEWTOWN, CONN. — A lone gunman killed 27 people at an elementary school here, including 18 children, in a terrifying early Friday morning shooting spree. Two handguns were recovered at the scene. Mayor Mark Boughton said several victims had been taken to local hospitals. But details were sketchy. The  Newtown Bee  reported that a police officer carried a seriously wounded child from the building. Groups of students — some crying, some holding hands — were being escorted away from the school by their teachers. Some students were still in the school at 10:30 a.m., after it was placed on lock down, parents said. The school is in a residential, wooded neighborhood about 90 minutes north of New York City. It has 39 teachers and about 650 students. A reverse 911 call went out to parents warn

Self-Advertising : Translating A Song

In this particular assignment, I have to translate an Indonesian song into English. It's pretty simple. But what makes it the worst task for me is I have to record myself singing the song I've translated. I'm awful  in camera, let alone in a video camera. I just never have the confidence. Well, the song I chose to translate is Soulvibe's Biarlah, and h ere's the link to it :  Soulvibe - Biarlah And this is me singing the translated song, The Indonesian Lyrics : Untaian kata darimu, tak cukup waktu tuk ulangi masa-masa indah yang ada Takkan kuragukan lagi, kusuka kamu Dan kau merasakan hal yang sama Namun ku tak bisa melakukan ini semua Karna kini kau telah berdua Reff: Hapuslah cinta antara kita berdua Karna kau sudah ada yang punya Biarlah diriku memendam rasa ini, jauh di lubuk hatiku Sebuah kisah indah kita berlalu cepat tanpa kusadari Takkan kuragukan lagi, begitu banyak kisah indah dalam langkah kita Ku tak bisa melakukan ini semua

OH NO! I GET OLDER! NO, IT ISN'T THAT BAD....... :')

20 years old. Another year had been added to it yesterday. So here I am, being 21, getting older, and enjoying my new age. So many wishes I hope could come true this year. A LOT of wishes. And also hope that I can get rid of the ugliness inside of me. But first I'd like to tell a story about what I had been through yesterday. I woke up at 5, made a wake up call for my boyfriend, because he had to drive his mother somewhere, before we went to campus, and told me that we would be heading off at 7 so I would make the class at 9. But there had been a change since he told me that his mother decided to head off at 7.30. Which I was scared that I'd miss the class. So there we went, starting a fight, because he wouldn't let me go to campus alone. And it was raining I thought it was the new first worst birthday in my whole life since I hated my 8th birthday so much. He was damn annoying I could just slap him with a huge dining table. Plus, nobody could drive me to campus, be

Nail and Its Luxury

Nail. It might sound absurd to be the topic of a blog post. It's only a part of human body. It's on our fingers, a thin hard layer that covers up our fingertips...I don't have to explain all that. So, nothing would ever be done by them. They just sit there and wait to be cut because it'll hurt us or others if the sharp ones accidentally slit our skin. But if you dig deeper, there's a lot of interesting things about them. Maybe won't be that much, but it would be worth it to talk about. Millions kinds of nail. Every person has different kind of nails. Mine are awesome, I must be a bit narcissistic , but they are. I love them, mostly after I cut them short. I love them even more when it comes to Nail Polish. I love them dark, glossy, and glitter-free. Even when it's a bright colour, pink in example, it has to be dark. However, I don't have the kind of nails I've always wanted. The nails that are so compatible with dark and strangely unique colours. Th

Advertisement Analysis

NUTRILON ROYAL 3 (Milk for Toddlers) " I want to live my life to the absolute fullest  To open my eyes to be all I can be  To travel roads not taken, to meet faces unknown  To feel the wind, to touch the stars  I promise to discover myself  To stand tall with greatness  To chase down and catch every dream  Living a full life on the outside, starts on the inside  LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE " * Nutrilon Royal 3 Commercial In this assignment, I'd like to analyze the connection or the relation between the ad and its jingle. I've already written down the jingle above as you can see, and the link to Youtube that will lead you directly to the commercial. The jingle in this ad is really related to the commercial itself.  The talents in the clip are all children and it shows us that to reach how we want our future to be, we have to live an adventurous life, starts now, in your early life, while we're still young and our brain still absorbs things around easi

New Crazy, Lovable Friends

   I have 6 new friends. They're all from my university and they're my classmates. They're not my first friends in class, but I'm glad I have them as my friends. So glad. And they're young and still so cheerful. They're 3 years younger than me. But I don't feel like I'm the oldest so I have to control them. Of course not. Instead, they make me feel much younger, and I get to laugh more than before. I'm grateful, to God, to them.   There's this one girl named  Bias Ayukirana  or Bias or Bi, she has the loudest voice and the greatest personality. She's friendly and she is mature enough for her age. Maybe even more mature than I am. She lightens everything up. She's a bit fat, but in a cute and chubby way of fat, and she's very expressive. She once tried to impersonate a talent from an ad while we were working on our assignment, and she did it even funnier than the ad, and we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. A true entertainer. And
