Let's learn Photoshop!

So many people have a problem with facial acne? Some of them are not confident to take a photo because of their face? If acne can't be lost easily, but you can edit your photo easily, don't you? Photoshop is one of software which is able to edit photos.
Photoshop is the leading digital image editing application for the Internet, print, and other new media disciplines. It is embraced by millions of graphic artists, print designers, visual communicators, and regular people like you. Photoshop can edit all of digital image, such as photo. With using photoshop, you can erase your pimlple, sharp your nose, change the background or make another camouflage.
Here is the result of the pictures which were edited by photoshop.

Building photo :
Place : University Center (Indonesia University of Education)

In the picture above, the editor has changed the background from the normal into the gothic style.

Human photo :
Model : Dewi Oktaviani
Place : JICA FPMIPA UPI

In the picture above, the editor has changed human photo become like a model on the magazine

To make a photo becomes different, we have to know about the function of Menu Bar, Tool box, Windows Pallette, and Canvas.

It is almost impossible to use or even learn all of Photoshop's tools to their maximum benefit. It can't be instant to master photoshop. We can master photoshop with learning it gradually by reading a book, watching tutorial from youtube, searching for many information from the internet or others. With photoshop, you can explore your creativity in designing or editing something. This workshop will go over the main features of the program so that you will feel confident to explore the remaining features on your own. Let's learn it!

Learning Japanese Section 1

Assalamualaikum wr.wb

Hello Mina-san! Konbanwa!!
Tonight I haven't slept yet and I wanna share something about learning Japanese.
I called it "Learning Japanese section 1"
Hmm.. actually, I got this lesson from erin.ne.jp. You can also watch the video, learning their conversation with english sub, hiragana sub, kanji sub. But not only learning their language, you're also able to learn all about Japanese. You can learn about culture, how to make traditional food, how to play Japanese traditional game, how to wear Japanese traditional clothes, and others.
In section one, you will learn about "Introduce your self in Japanese", look at the video below! ^^

at the conversation above, you hear :

"Hajimemashite"

Hajimemashite means "Nice to meet you" or it could mean greeting someone that you saw at the first time.

And you also hear

"Erin desu, Igirisu kara kimashita"

Erin is the main character on the video.

Erin-desu means "I'm Erin"

You can say your name and ended with desu. Such as : Fity desu. it means "I am Fity"

Igirisu means UK in Japanese.
kara means from
kimashita means come, kimashita is the past form from kimasu.
"Igirisu kara kimashita" means "I came from UK"
you can say your country and followed by kara kimashita to indicate the place that you lived before. such as :
"Indonesia kara kimashita" which means "I came from Indonesia"

Okay, that's all about Learning Japanese section 1. How easy, isn't it?
Just wait for the next section! Ja mata! ^_^

Kompetensi Kreativitas Matematika

 KOMPETENSI KREATIVITAS MATEMATIKA
oleh Fitriani Juwita, dkk.

A.    Landasan Teori

Menurut kamus besar bahasa Indonesia kreatif artinya memiliki daya cipta, memiliki kemampuan, untuk menciptakan atau bersifat daya cipta. Sedangkan menurut Munandar (Susanto, 2008 : 10) kreativitas itu sendiri adalah kemampuan untuk menciptakan daya cipta.

Menurut Moustaker (Lusyawati, 2007 : 15) kreativitas adalah pengalaman, mengekspresikan dan mengaktualisasikan identitas individu dalam bentuk terpadu dalam hubungan dengan diri sendiri, dengan alam dan orang lain. Sejalan dengan pendapat Moustakes, Mulyasa (Susanto, 2008 : 11) menjelaskan kreativitas  merupakan proses berpikir dimana siswa berusaha untuk menemukan hubungan-hubungan baru, mendapat jawaban, metode, atau cara baru dalam memecahkan suatu masalah.

Bill Moyers (Lusyawati, 2007 : 16) menyatakan kreativitas adalah menemukan hal-hal diluar biasa dibalik hal-hal yang nampak biasa dengan kata lain bahwa kreatif mampu menemukan solusi yang baru dan bermanfaat.

Jadi, dari beberapa pendapat di atas dapat kita simpulkan bahwa kreativitas  adalah  adanya persamaan dalam mengartikan kreativitas sebagai kemampuan seseorang untuk melahirkan sesuatu yang baru baik berupa gagasan maupun produk nyata yang relatif dengan  apa  yang  ada sebelumnya.

Kompetensi Kreativitas Matematika adalah kemampuan siswa untuk dapat menciptakan suatu (ide, gagasan, cara, metode, proses, produk) yang baru dan inovatif.

Tahapan proses kreativitas adalah persiapan (ide datang dalam berbagai kemungkinan), inkubasi (pemahaman, kematangan terhadap ide), iluminasi (tingkat inspirasi dikelola dan dikembangkan sehingga menjadi suatu hasil), dan verifikasi (perbaikan dan penyempurnaan).

B.    Indikator Kreativitas Matematika

Indikator Kreativitas Matematika adalah sebagai berikut :

1.     Kritis

2.     Logis

3.     Analitis

4.     Detail

5.     Sistematik

6.     Fleksibel

- Dapat melihat suatu masalah dari sudut pandang yang berbeda-beda.

- Menghasilkan gagasan, jawaban atau pertanyaan yang bervariasi.

- Mencari banyak alternatif atau arah yang berbeda-beda.

- Mampu mengubah cara pendekatan atau pemikiran.

7.     Orisinal

-Mampu melahirkan ungkapan yang baru dan unik.

8.     Elaborasi

- Menambahkan atau memperinci detail-detail dari suatu objek, gagasan

9.     Terbuka-divergen

C.    Kisi-kisi Instrumen Tes Kompetensi Kreativitas Matematika

Satuan Pendidikan           : Sekolah Menengah Pertama

Kelas/Semester               : VIII/Genap

Pokok Bahasan/Materi    : Bangun Ruang

Standar Kompetensi        : Memecahkan masalah berkaitan dengan bangun ruang

Accelerated Learning

KAJIAN PUSTAKA

PENERAPAN ACCELERATED LEARNING PADA MODEL PEMBELAJARAN BERBSIS MASALAH UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KREATIF MATEMATIS SISWA SMP
oleh Fitriani Juwita

Pendidikan merupakan hal yang penting dalam menentukan kemajuan suatu Negara. Melalui pendidikan maka akan dihasilkan Sumber Daya Manusia yang unggul dan berkualitas. Sumber Daya Manusia yang unggul dan berkualitas dapat menjadi objek maupun subjek dalam pembangunan suatu Negara. Pendidikan  merupakan  salah  satu  media  yang  digunakan manusia untuk mengembangkan potensi dan mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan oleh manusia.

Pembelajaran Matematika pada dasarnya bertujuan untuk mengembangkan daya berpikir kreatif. Hal ini dinyatakan dari Standar Isi (Pemendiknas, 2006) yang menyatakan bahwa “Mata pelajaran matematika perlu diberikan kepada semua peserta didik mulai dari sekolah dasar untuk membekali peseta didik dengan kemampuan berpikir logis, analitis, sistematis, kritis dan kreatif, serta kemampuan bekerjasama.

Menurut Siswanto (2009), pada umumnya, sebagian besar guru mata pelajaran Matematika telah membekali peserta ddiknya untuk  berpikir logis, analitis, dan sistematis. Namun masih dua aspek yang belum tercapai pada sebagian besar pembelajaran Matematika di Sekolah. Kedua aspek tersebut adalah berpikir kritis dan kreatif. Padahal kemampuan berpikir kritis dan  kreatif sangat diperlukan dalam  menghadapi perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan yang semakin maju. Kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kreatif dapat menjadi bekal untuk siswa dalam menghadapi kehidupan yang dinamis di masa-masa mendatang.

Accelerated Learning merupakan istilah yang digunakan untuk menjelaskan suatu rangkaian praktis dalam upaya meningkatkan proses pembelajaran. Tujuan Accelerated Learning adalah agar siswa dapa berpikir kritis dan kreatif dengan metode pembelajaran yang menyenangkan. Meier (Fadli, 2010) menyatakan “Untuk accelerated learning diperlukan keterlibatan total dalam pembelajaran itu sendiri. Belajar haruslah berpusat pada aktivitas dan bukan pada presentasi atau kehadiran semata”.

Menurut  Colin  Rose (2002 :16)  “Accelerated  learning  adalah  teknik  belajar yang  alami,  sesuai  dengan  gaya  belajar  siswa  sehingga  belajar  terasa  lebih mudah dan lebih cepat”. Selain itu orang yang pertama kali menembangkan metode ini, Dr. Georgi Lazanov, menyatakan “Accelerated learning adalah model pembelajaran yang menciptakan proses lingkungan dan pengajaran untuk memungkinkan  peserta didik untuk bergerak diluar membatasi kenyakinan dan kesalapahaman dan memanfaatkan potensi tersembunyi mereka”.

Dari beberapa pendapat di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa accelerated learning adalah suatu metode untuk mempercepat dan merancang pembelajaran dengan metode yang asyik dan menyenangkan serta  melibatkan siswa secara aktiv dalam prosesnya.

Dalam metode pembelajaran accelerated learning, Rose dan Nicholl (2009) membaginya menjadi enam langkah dasar yang disingkat dengan MASTER. Enam langkah tersebut adalah : Motivating your mind (Memotivasi Pikiran), Acquiring The Information (Memperoleh Informasi), Searching Out The Meaning (Menyelidiki Masalah), Trigering The Memory (Memicu Memori), Exhibiting What You Know (Mempresentasikan), Reflecting How You’ve Learned (Merefleksikan).

Motivating your mind (Memotivasi Pikiran) bertujuan untuk memberikan motivasi kepada siswa agar siswa siap belajar dan menerima informasi yang akan siswa peroleh.

Acquiring The Information (Memperoleh Informasi) bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi dasar kepada siswa. Dalam tahap ini, hendaknya guru memberikan informasi yang benar-benar mendasar agar selanjutnya siswa dapat mengembangkan informasi tersebut.

Searching Out The Meaning (Menyelidiki Masalah), siswa bersama kelompoknya menyelidiki tentang masalah yang diberikan oleh guru. Dalam menyelidiki permasalahan tersebut siswa dapat melakukannya dengan cara mereka sehingga mereka dapat berpikir secara luas dan kreatif.

Trigering The Memory (Memicu Memori), hal ini bertujuan untuk mengingatkan memori yang sebelumnya telah diketahui oleh siswa, guru dapat melakukan langkah ini dengan berbagai cara seperti mendongeng, membuat singkatan (akronim), peta konsep, dll.

Exhibiting What You Know (Mempresentasikan), setelah siswa menyelidiki permaslahan yang diberikan, mereka mempresentasikannya di depan siswa lain agar terjadi pertukaran informasi antara satu siswa dan siswa lainnya. Langkah ini bertujuan agar daya kritis siswa ikut terpacu. Mereka dipersilahkan untuk berdebat apabila ada informasi yang keliru dan belajar menyampaikan argument. Apabila dalam hal ini permasalahan semakin melebar dan tidak ditemikannya jawaban atas permasalahan tersebut, guru pun ikut andil dalam mengambil kesimpulan dan mengoreksi hasil diskusi siswa.

Reflecting How You’ve Learned (Merefleksikan), siswa merefleksikan pengalaman belajar mereka bukan hanya tentang apa yang mereka pelajari namun juga bagaimana mereka mempelajarinya.

            Model pembelajaran accelerated learning ini di luar negeri dikenal dengan berbagai nama, seperti Quantum Learning, Quantum Teaching, Super Learning, Efficient and Effective Learning. Pada intinya, tujuan berbagai metode ini sama, yaitu bagaimana membuat proses pembelajaran menjadi efisien, efektif dan menyenangkan.

            Menurut Charlick (2005:27) “metode accelerated learning  dapat digunakan pada model pembelajaran berbasis masalah”. Dimana metode accelerated learning dapat membantu pada proses pemecahan masalah kehidupan sehari-hari melalui aktivitas yang dilakukan dan dapat mempercepat penyerapan materi oleh siswa. Dalam penyelesaian berbasis masalah hal itu dapat membuat siswa terangsang untuk berpikir kritis dalam menyelesaikannya. Informasi-informasi  yang siswa ketahui dapat menjadi argumen pendukung dalam menyelesaikan masalahnya. Prinsip MASTER di atas adalah letak pembelajaran berbasis masalah itu.

Selain itu, metode accelerated learning  dapat memacu kreativitas siswa. Menurut McGregor (Mahmudi, 2010 :2) “berpikir kreatif adalah mengarah pada pemerolehan wawasan baru, pendekatan baru, perspektif baru, atau cara baru dalam memahami sesuatu”. Hal ini ditunjukkan pada proses pembelajaran accelerated learning dimana siswa melakukan penyelidikan terhadapa masalah serta mendiskusikannya dengan kelompoknya. Siswa secara  bebas berpendapat sesuai dengan pengetahuan yang dimilikinya. Kreativitas siswa dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan terlihat dari hasil diskusi mereka. Kemampuan berpikir kreatif ini dapat membangun ide atau gagasan yang baru dalam menyelesaikan masalah. Menurut Alvino (Mulyana, 2011) “berpikir kreatif adalah melakukan suatu kegiatan yang ditandai oleh empat komponen, yaitu : fluency (keterampilan berpikir lancer), flexibility (Keterampilan berpikir luwes), originality (keterampilan berpikir orisinal), elaboration (keterampilan memerinci)”. Dengan accelerated learning siswa dapat mencoba untuk memperoleh keempat komponen tersebut.

Metode accelerated learning  sangat berbeda dengan metode ekspositori atau metode belajar konvensional.  Jika metode ekspositori lebh menekankan Teacher Center atau pembelajaran yang menekan

Dari hasil kajian di atas, maka dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa accelerated learning adalah pembelajaran yang mendukung siswa berpikir kritis dan kreatif serta belajar dengan  cepat sehingg dapat menghemat waktu namun dengan cara yang  menyenangkan. Accelerated learning sangat pas diterapkan dalam pembelajaran  matematika di sekolah.

Sayonara #100DaysMission

Good Morning everyone!
I am sorry to say this. Actually, I didn't feel comfort when I should force myself to post something on my blog every single day. I felt that It's such a boring thing because I rarely got inspiration enough to write down here. hehe.
Okay, perhaps I would rather stop write something which made me irksome to do so. But I'll try to post something with my heart. :p #100DaysMission's posting end in 76 days mission, 24 days left.
Yet my #100DaysMission is still remaining and I'll try to do useful activities for 76 days later although I won't post it on here :)
Okay, that's all. I am happy to work with you #100DaysMission's posting, but goodbye!
I feel.. relief :)

Happy Ramadhan ! ^_^

Assalamualaikum wr.wb !!

Hello Mina-san!! Gomennasai! I hadn't written a post every single day ago. Hontou gomennasai! I don't know why, I was too lazy to do these things. :(
Neither lot of task nor exams, I was doing nothing yesterday. I spent my spare time to watch drama, watch video, and reading toefl books of course. Yet It was simple thing to do, wasn't it?
 Ok, enough for verbose explaining. Now, I wanna talk about this great month! Yes, you're right It's Ramadhan month! The fasting month for Moslem all over the world.
I am so happy to meet Ramadhan. I am feeling very great. in This month we can look for getting blessing and gracing from Allah SWT. And of course doing praying and increasing our faithful so that we could able be a fabulous moslem :)
That's all..

Lazy Day..

96 Mission, 4 Days Left

Hello Everyone! Selamat Malam..

Malam ini, gue bakal ngepost tulisan gue dengan bahasa Indonesia! well, sebenarnya bakal campur-campur sama bahasa Inggris atau Jepang juga sih, intinya supaya terlihat keren! haha. Hmm just kidding, guys! tujuan utamanya bukan itu kok. Apa kalo tiap post-an gue berbahasa asing, gue jadi kelihatan belagu ya? Well, I just wanted to improve my skill in English and Japanese as well, I swear. Gua cuma pengen belajar lebih rajin tentang bahasa. Karena dengan membiasakan diri, maka kita akan semakin tebiasa menggunakannya. As we know that English is really important in this era. Kayaknya sekarang bahasa Inggris sudah menjadi suatu kebutuhan. meskipun bukan kebutuhan primer, namun apa salahnya untuk mencoba sesuatu diluar bahasa ibu :)

By the way, sebenernya gue bukan mau cerita tentang bahasa inggris. Now I would like to share with you with what happened to me today. I begin to start this post with boring topic. haha. Gomenasai Mina-san! :p

Kali ini, gue merasa gue itu sangat tidak ada apa-apanya. Banyak sekali hal yang gue gak tau. Kenapa gue berpikir demikian? Karena akhir-akhir ini gue lumayan sering baca. Lho? Apa hubungannya? Okay, gue bakal jelasin maksud gue..

I often read books, articles, newspaper, etc recently. I have found lot of things which I didn't know before. Semakin gue banyak baca, semakin gue merasa gue ini bodoh banget. Kenapa? karena pas gue baca, gue ternyata menemukan fakta-fakta yang gue gak tau sebelumnya. Gue cuma bisa melohok melihat sesuatu yang gue baru tau. Misalnya :

Gue baru tau kalo ternyata kecoak bisa bertahan hidup 2 hari dengan tanpa kepalanya. Dan dia salah satu binatang yang susah mati! ckck (I hate cockroach)

Gue baru tau kalo penggunaan different from itu gak boleh, kalo mau menyatakan kontradiksi kita harus bilang different than.

Gue baru tau kalo ternyata bahasa inggris itu ribet banget. grammar itu sangat banyak aturan!\

Gue baru tau kalo ada berita kudeta mesir -__-

dan lain sebagainya..

It's fool enough, isn't it?

Well yeah, now I should force my self to read one article per day. Supaya gue gak ketinggalan berita lagi.. It's able to make me know the newest issue.

Yoyoyo semangat perubahan!!!!

Gue harus lebih sering baca buku, baik itu buku kuliah, jurnal, artikel, koran, majalah, komik (:p) dan lainnya.

Hm.. yah hari ini gue cuma kuliah dari jam 07.00-09.30. setelahnya, gue online dan download lagu. hontou baka ne! (-_-")

rencananya sih, hari ini mau dijadikan hari santai dulu. Besok, harus sudah mulai kerja rodi lagi dengan berbagai kegiatan yang padat (sok artis :p)

that's enough for today's post!

Oh ya, gue lupa. My uncle (didik) has entered Junior High School, and he got JHS 3 Bandung, the same school as my student, Arinda. Semoga di SMP 3, pamanku yang dulunya malas ini berubah menjadi lebih rajin. semoga ia menjadi anak yang semakin baik dan lebih mandiri. Aamiin.

Enough for today! Ja mata ne! Mata Ashita!!! \(^o^)/

Sekai No Owari - inori

97 Days Mission, 3 Days Left

Hallo Minna-san!! Konbanwa!
Don't worry, I won't talk about boring topic. haha. Tonight I would like to talk about Sekai No Owari, Japanese Band which I liked nowadays. This Band is pretty unique, either video clips or musics are definitely fantastic! :D
This Band consist of four members. Those are Fukase Kei (Vocal, Guitar), Nakajima Sinchi (Guitar), Fujisaki Saori (Keyboard), and DJ LOVE. The thing that make this band unique is the mascot of this band, he is DJ LOVE. DJ love is used to wearing clown mask and all fans don't know his face for real. haha :D
Sekai no Owari has released five single Album. The single which I like so much is INORI! If you want to know how does it work, you can watch this music video :)

 Sekai no Owari - INORI

That's all for today, bye bye! ^_^

What's The Tittle of This Post?

98 days mission, 2 days left

Hello Minna-san! Good evening! :)

As I did yesterday and a few days ago, Today I'm gonna tell you about what I've don. Well yeah, It's boring enough for one who reads every post of me, but I feel fine myself haha. So perhaps I don't care if people said my blog is full with boring topics! haha

But hmm.. Maybe, I won't only post every particular of my daily life, but I will post something I've created, research I've written, Poetry, The song I've made, and etc in order to make it little interesting and little bit colorful. haha :p

Today I have finished chapter two in TOEFL book! So happy!! :D

I also have washed my clothes and Iron my old clothes and I've looked for sources for my research. :)

By the way, I decided not to go to campus this day. So I enjoyed holiday at my Aunt's home even I was alone at home.

Hmm,, It's boring enough, isn't it? haha. I don't know what's tittle convenient with my activities today so that I named it "What's the tittle of this post?" haha.

This is today's picture! 

I and my notebook, Kyuuto.

Tomorrow should be better than today!! Bye bye :)

New Research is more Passionate

99 Days Mission, 1 days left

Hallo Mina-san, Konbanwa!

Tonight I would like to share my activities.

Well yeah Alhamdulillah It's being better than yesterday. I could restrict my behavior so that I was able to breath relieved . Huaaahhh... *bad smell*

Today, I went to library again. It looked like I was nerd, didn't it? hehe

I changed my research plan, I look for the more interesting one. And I found one book that I liked to be investigated. That book's tittle was "Accelerated Learning" yet the tittle was not as short as I said, I just took the main topic of that book. haha That book told me how to accelerate one material of mathematics learning with fun method so that Children could really enjoy to study with faster system of learning. I was so excited to research it deeper than the author did. haha. I hope I could do better than her. I finished read that script and tried hard to get the main point. And I didn't forget to write the sources in order I could expand it :)

Okay, Perhaps the first target of yesterday clear, yet I haven't written it more detail. But It was good enough for beginning :D

Anyway, I didn't wash my clothes and iron my clothes. hupet. It's because I was in campus all day. hehe. But latter I'll do it.

I also read TOEFL book for several pages. but actually I read it so clear, yet I couldn't finish it until chapter 2. -____-

Yippie!!! I could take control my self not to open twitter and facebook all day! I was so happy because this achievement! haha. I hope tomorrow I could do it as well.

I have read 1 article although I hardly find difficult vocab. I just got 3 difficult vocab. Perhaps that article was written for teenager. ahhaha. Tomorrow I should read difficult one!

Here's today's picture :

I was in the middle of bookcase look for research book

I read script carefully, I look like dilegent one, do I? :p

That's enough for today, Honestly I wrote it earlier because I have felt sleepy tonight. (>.<)

Tomorrow I should :

1. Washing clothes and Iron the clothes

2. Complete my research

3. Finish chapter two of TOEFL

4. Doing homework of StructAl

5. Read one article and find difficult vocab and memorize it

I don't know whether I will go to campus or no for tomorrow, because tomorrow there's no any subject at all. Hm. I haven't decided yet. haha

Thanks for reading! See ya tomorrow.! :D

Look for Research Book

100 days mission

Hello everyone! Good night!

As I said in this morning, I will tell to you all about what I've done today. It was not as good as I expected yet I did several productive activities perhaps.

In the morning, I went to campus about 8.30 a.m. even though there was no any subject this day, but I did it because I had several list to do at my campus so that I decided to go.

On the way to campus, I reviewed mini test of TOEFL, and It was clear enough for chapter one but I really felt disappointed because I couldn't clear it all. :(

When I had arrived at Campus, I immediately went to Curriculatorium. I went to that place because I wanted to look for "a problem" it was a Research Method assignment. In that place, I found great book It's about Teaching method for Mathematics and Science, I found a few great tittle but I couldn't read it clearly because Curriculatorium would be closed  by librarian who would enter her class. And the more disappointed thing was That book couldn't be lent. OHH Poor.. Because I didn't want I had no result so that I borrowed the other book. The tittle was boring enough but I little bit read it and really enjoyed reading. It was about "Explore your world with Science Discovery", how was it not boring right? haha

After I had been regret because I couldn't lend the book I wanted, then I went to UPI's Library. This Library is a big one. But well yeah, The Library was closed until 12.30 p.m. and the clock showed 10 a.m at that time. How pity I was. :(

Well, I waited for Library's opening. I felt so lucky because there were few of my friends there, so I waited patiently while talking with friends about lots of topics.

And after Library was opened, I went into that place and looked for rack of script to find what I needed before. And I found one of script that took my eyes in it. The tittle is "Pembelajaran Tutor Sebaya Transaktif untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Penalaran Induktif Matematika Siswa SMP" written by Anita Rahayu, 053643. I finished read that script and Alhamdulillah I found enlightenment about how to find a problem, how to investigate the problem, and how to solve it. It was quite difficult but as long as we faced and enjoyed it perhaps It could be such a fun research. :)

After I already complete my assignment, I finally went home. But the worst thing that I did today is Yeah, I am unforgivable. I didn't do my StructAl homework and I did 'something bad', I am sorry God.. :(

Astaghfirullah...

And I still open facebook and twitter more often. :(

Okay, tomorrow should be better than today!

I should :

1. Finish learning Toefl.

2. Do a homework diligently

3. Completing my Metlit assignment

4. Shouldn't open twitter and facebook all day

5. Finish my home assignment (washing clothes and iron my clothes) -_-

6. Save money as well as possible

7. Read one article and memorize at least 10 vocab.

That's all. I expect I will do what I plan today. Bismillah....
Thanks for reading.
Anyway, this is today's picture!

I and my Science Discovery 2 Book

Thanks for reading!

See you tomorrow!! :)

Japanese Language

Assalamualaikum wr.wb


Minna-san! Konnichiwa!Today, I wanna talk about quite great Topic! That's about Japanese Language!We all know that Three types of character are used to write Japanese. Those are Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji.
Katakana :Katakana are used to write words introduced from other languages, names of foreign people and places, sounds, and animal cries.

Hiragana :Hiragana are used together with kanji to write ordinary Japanese words.

Kanji :Kanji is completely different with China. But Japanese originaly came from ancient China. where they are said to have been created thousands of years ago. These characters are called kanji and began as pictures. Over time the pictures changed, and most kanji no longer look like the original objects; they now stand for words or parts of words. There are about 2,000 kanji in regular use. Children learn around 1,000 kanji in elementary school and another 1,000 in middle school.

Japanese has many local dialects, called hogen. Different dialects have different words for the same things. there are also variations in accent and intonation, as well as in the endings attached to verbs and adjectives. Using the widely accepted standard spoken Japanese, however, people from different regions can communicate easily.

That's all about Japanese language. Thanks for reading! Wait for the next post!Arigatou Gozaimahita ^^

Why must Japan?

Assalamualaikumsalam wr.wb


Minna-san, Konichiwa!

Now, I am passionate to write down something right here right now. It's so rare that I obsess to do it, whereas I should study hard for the next exam. hehe

Anyway, In my old post (re: first post) I talk so much about Japan. Japan does suits my passion! I'm very very curious with whole news related with the country of sunrises. In this time, I will explain, why I am spellbound with sublimity of Japan. here it is!

The greatest appeal of studying in Japan is its academic environment where one can study state-of-the-art technology and acquire the knowledge that enabled Japan's phenomenal postwar economic growth. Whether it is electronics, Japanese literature, medicine or international business administration, Japanese universities and other institutes of higher education can offer course studies or research programs of virtually any field. That's so amazing and great I think!

Many leading figures playing an active role in the world today have had experience studying in Japan. Former Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines Domingo L. Siazon, Jr. and Former Minister for External Commerce, Industrialization, Fisheries and Competitiveness, Ecuador Richard Moss Ferreira both spent time studying in Japan. The network of coursemates that you can build in Japan will undoubtedly become an invaluable asset for your future career.

Modern Japanese culture and society consist of a diverse mix of the old and new, the East and West, and the natural and artificial. These seemingly contradictory elements coexist in harmony in Japan. For example, it is not unusual to see an old Buddhist temple and a modern skyscraper standing next to each other.

Japan is also a country with rich nature, diverse topography, and beautiful turns of the seasons. Haiku verse which has blossomed by absorbing the natural essence of each season is an example of a very unique Japanese literary culture. The country's rich variety of local festivals, annual events, and folk entertainment are also most likely the result of Japan's nature and topography.

If you have been in Japan, you might say that you are a big fan of hot spring resorts, "Onsen", a unique Japanese version of the spas. Others may know about J-Pop, Japanese films, or even the nail arts. Even those who have never been in Japan may be interested in the beauty and delicacy of Japanese cuisine - some says that it must be enjoyed with both the eye and palate - as well as Japanese culture represented by in Kimono, tea ceremony and Ikebana flower arrangement, or traditional sports such as Judo, Kendo and Naginata. There are many, many other things that make Japan attractive. !!! \(^o^)/

That's all about my reason!

Hm.. I also have Japanese friends, Aiko-chan, Masashi-Kun, and Kaori-nee-san. But my closest friend is Kaori-nee-san! She is really cute. I talk so many discussion with her, and the topic was various. She will graduate from Tohoku University very soon. From her, I got many great information that I love. Those all about school, part time job, fashion, music, etc. I also got information about Tohoku University. I have an intent to continue my studying there. Here is Tohoku University!

Tohoku University, Kawauchi Campus. Sendai, Japan.

If I wanna study there, that means I should prepare meticulously. Pray for me, Minna-san!
Hontou ni Arigatou Gozaimashita! Ja mata!

Please wait for the next post!

Final Exam Times

Assalamualaikum wr.wb

Minna-san, konbanwa! It's been along time that I didn't write in this blog because of my whole business nowadays. I felt I were a busy woman for real. hehe. Now, I'm still facing exam. I should harness my time and spend it with finishing materials in lessons. I hope this semester, I will be very very very lucky and getting the real best mark! I was really disappointed with last semester. There were lot of nonsense value for several subjects. That's why I got very bad mark for the first time :(

I've faced 5 lessons exams. That means there are still 3 lessons remaining. I don't know how I feel right now. I'm extremely happy with those subjects that I've already passed. Although there is one subject which is fifty-fifty with my estimate.

I have to grow my spirit up! And also create a honest soul! You know, God is always watching you, right? I'm me. So the mark depends on me. I better get bad mark than I should be a cheater!

Keep fighting and praying are the keys to get advantages in this final exam.

Pray for me minna-san!

こんばんわ身なーさん！！

Today is Wednesday night. Hm.. nothing special now.. But, I just want to write something which is not really important. yet perhaps really important for me :D

みな、I like my best friend, きゅうと. He's my notebook. I bought him by my own money. I really proud and glad that I could buy him finally. きゅうと really changes my life. Because of him, I can make a differences in my life. Complaining about task is almost nothing. 嬉です！＾＾

きゅうと isn't original and newest. I bought him from アタシのおにいちゃん. He had bought きゅうと for about 8 months ago from his friend.

Because of きゅうと, I can study about Japanese and English continuously. Because of きゅうと, I'm able to do my task on time :D

I really thank to Allah, because Allah has given a chance for me to meet きゅうと.

Now, I wanna pray, I hope きゅうと will be my best friend ever after. Though Someday I'll find the newest and the most awesome notebook, but I hope きゅうと always beside me and here with me. きゅうと, Long-last with me ya!!!

I want it, yes I want it! (PPAN 2013)

Assalamualaikum wr.wb

Ohayo Gozaimasu mina-san!
Today is Tuesday morning, and I'm getting holiday! yippie!! \(^o^)/
Yes, It's a day for Hinduism or called "Nyepi". Although I don't celebrate 'Nyepi day' but I just take a holiday happily ahahahahaha (lot of laugh :p)
Okay, today I'll share to you all about what I did long long day ago. (read : last week)
On March, 3rd 2013 I attended Open House 'Pertukaran Pemuda Antar Negara (PPAN)' handled by PCMI (Purna Caraka Muda Indonesia) West Java Province.
I attended it because I was really excited join that program.
There were some explanation which made my passion grown up! There were 5 programs which have different characterization, event, and destination.
One program that made me interested in is SSEAYP (Ship of South East Asian Youth Program). that program take a route to Japan, and around South East country.
You know, I've been really passionate with Japan when I was still in Junior High School! It's been long time ago. :') but now, I'm still interested :D
Ok, back to the topic!
at that Open House, I got lots of information. The Open House was attended by all youth around west Java. and I am the one who came from the other countries* (*I meant province :p)
During the explanation, there's no program which made me boring. Because, all was sugoii!! (sugoii = great). After all programs had explained their event, characteristic, and destination, we youth got ice breaking to make us had some enjoyment because we'd already sat more than 2 hours. Perhaps, they (committe who handle it) didn't want us getting some terrible with our ass. wkwk :p
this ice breaking named "suit Jepang",

1. the one who won would became a duck and the others would become an egg.
2. if duck met with duck the should 'suit' again. then the one who won becoming Monkey. another still became a duck.
3. If monkey met monkey they should 'suit' again. then the one who won becoming dinosaurus. another still became monkey.
4. if Dinosaurus met dinosaurus they should 'suit' again and the one who won become human.

that's all, I can't explain it in detail -___-

After we got an ice breaking, question session was opened. There were 3 youths who wanted to give a question. I also wanted, but I didn't get any chance. (sad)

After the youths gave some questions, the alumni answered it clearly. Question session was over, if we wanted to get more information we could get it with asking question to the alumni after the event was over.
Before the event was over, we got ice breaking again.
The committe ask 5 youths who thought they're creative. Although I was not creative one, but I wanted to examine my brave in front of all. (read : no shame)
finally there were 5 youths who thought they were creative. included me :p
we were demanded to show our creativity. everything like singing, dancing, reading a poem, and others. Then I chose 'dancing'. Though I felt ashamed, bu becoming exist? why not? wkwk
And then, in the end I became the most creative youth and getting the majority applause :p
 And I got these gifts from the committe.

in the end of Open House, we got so many explanation about all program from Alumni. I was really exited knowing SSEAYP. I hope that I could be the one who get it. Aamiin.
Even though, I don't register the program this year. but I'm sure I'll get SSEAYP in 2015!

pray for me, folks. I hope Allah bless me always. lot of thanks for reading, folks :)
