Please DO NOT make fun of my religion.

I just found out this afternoon about a website that really made me mad. Here's the link, and I recommend you to open it, if you are a muslim. HEY WAIT.. I just opened the link, and it seems that the author has edited the post. Well, what he/she wrote before is >> cruel comments about Islam. He/she called Islam a dog, and lots of other bad words. And I don't like my religion being called like that. He/she also said that his/her religion, Christian/catholic is better than Islam. He/she said that Islam is full of lies, and Christian/catholic is not.

Well, it is for sure that I DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE MAKING FUN OF MY RELIGION. Anyway, if you're better than us, why do you still use bad words. I mean, you said you're better than us, but in reality, I don't think so. Good people won't use bad words. Well anyway, now that the post has been edited, I think it's quite settled. Anyway, if it still says bad things about Islam, I really do think that the government should do something about it.

Happy Birthday My Friend: Della Marissa Setyaningrum

Can't Remember

I wish you something, just can't remember,
Don't be upset, you're my family member.
It was clearly, on my mind,
With so many thoughts, it's hard to find.

Maybe it's simply not that essential,
Please lose that frown, you have so much potential.
On second thought, it might be coming back to me,
Now I know, why those brain pills were free.

Visions appear of colorful balloons,
In the background, I hear those fine tunes.
Near the end of the dream, I can taste a delicious cake,
It must be your birthday, as I awake.

The Giant Of Illinois a.k.a. Robert Wadlow

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940) was a man who is the tallest person in history. Wadlow is sometimes known as the Alton Giant or Giant of Illinois because of his upbringing in Alton, Illinois.

Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) in height and weighed 222 kg (490 lb) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood was due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

To view a picture of him (standing next to his dad), click this.

SPOT SOMETHING WEIRD? WELL I DID.
He was born on 22 (day), 02 (month), and died at the age of 22.

I'm gonna miss Indonesia ;'(

In a matter of 2 or 3 weeks, I'll be moving to Singapore. Aw God, I'm really gonna miss my friends.. I'm gonna miss my life in Indonesia, my friends, my school, my teacher, my cats.. EVERYBODY! I wish I didn't have to move so sudden. But that's the only choice I have for now. I'm gonna miss you guys ;'(

Well, moving to Singapore would be a disadvantage, but an advantage at the same time. Singapore provides better education, and better environment. I can't just skip on this opportunity, and anyway, I can't. I will surely have to move to Singapore, my whole family is moving there. If I chose to stay (which is impossible), I won't have anywhere to live. Well, maybe I can live in Jogja with my grandparents, but it's still the same, the choice is moving to Singapore or moving to Jogja. Well of course I'll chose Singapore. But God has given us this opportunity, this rare opportunity, and I must use this opportunity.

It's a real bummer that I have to move so quick, all that I hope is that I'll enjoy my life there, and that I will use my time and opportunity wisely. And one more thing... I hope we'll visit Jakarta.. I WILL SURELY MISS MY FRIENDS ;'(

Proud to present you... 1st Place Trophy from English Skill Competition (SMA Eka Wijaya)

(Photo from Gegory Mulia's HandPhone)

GREAT NEWS! My group won 1st place in the English Skills Competition in Eka Wijaya Senior High School. The competition was held by Eka Wijaya Senior High School, but it was made for Junior High students. If I'm not mistaken, there was 24 groups competing in this competition, including 2 groups from Global Mandiri, group A which consists of 9 graders (Me, Chalika, Diandra and Desty) and group B which consists of 8 graders (Manda, Nesya, Gregory and Nito).

There was 4 rounds, listening, grammar, speaking and writing. Fortunately, our group won 1st place, with a total score of 794. The 8 graders also won 3rd place! What a great day!

Don't Quit Poem

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

- Author unknown

The poem above is one that I really like. It tells us NOT TO QUIT. And let me quote a sentence from the poem above,
"Rest, if you must, but don't you quit."

Hey fellas!

Long time no see! I haven't been posting for a very long time, but I've been on Tumblr a lot lately. Hmm I don't know why, but I wasn't really in the mood to blog. But now, some of my friends have been blogging a lot, and that have kinda made me wanna come back to my blogging life, so here I am. Well, I know I'm not good at making articles or things, I'm not good at writing, so what I'd like to say is 'Sorry if my posts aren't good enough for you.' But I hope you like them! :)

And by the way, here's the link to my Tumblr >> http://dirascorpio.tumblr.com/
