INTERVIEW

Hello everyone! You've seen my latest post about Aspiration Day in my school, rite? Well, beside much performances from every art extracurricular and stand-up comedy competition, there is Obake House! YEAH. If you don't know what Obake House is, Obake is haunted house in Japanese. The crew is from cabaret extracurricular, TsT. Andddd my friend was one of the ghost in Obake House. So, this is my interview with my friend, Ihsan.

Me : "Hi Ihsan! I heard you're one of the ghost in Obake House in Aspiday. What ghost are you?"

Ihsan : "I became a girl ghost."

Me : "What was your feeling being a ghost?"

Ihsan : "It's fun scaring people. And I can 'modus' too."

Me : "Was it hard to make people scared?"

Ihsan : "It's hard at first of course but well I can make it."

Me : "How to scare them?"

Ihsan : "The first step is, sit on the corner floor sadly and suddenly look to the visitors."

Me : "Where did you sit?"

Ihsan : "It's unpredictable because the system is mobile. On the first day, I was always at the entrance. But, on the second day, I was in the end of the room one and the entrance of room two. Sometimes in the middle of room one."

Me : "What was the memorable moment of Obake for you?"

Ihsan : "There was a person who kicked me because scared, then there were two girls and one boy and the girls scared, so the boy pushed me to the wall.."

Me : "Whoa, I hoped the boy isn't a big one.... It's a great experience, Ihsan! Next time, I'm going to try the Obake House! Thanks a lot, Ihsan"

It's so exciting! I regretted I don't go to the Obake. So thanks to Ihsan to tell us his experience being a ghost. So many said that Obake is scary.. If they make one again, I'll try soon!

ASPIDAY

ASPIDAY

What is ASPIDAY? ASPIDAY is the short of Aspiration Day. Aspiration Day is an event of my school, SMA Negeri 3 Bandung. The event is organized by Student Parliament. We can give our opinion, critics, or even suggestions to our beloved school. Aspiday held on 5 May till 7 May. I took a part with being a documentalist on the first day. These are some photos:

Bandung Spot : Zoo

Hello everyone! I'm going to tell you my experience in kebun binatang or in English is zoo. When I was younger, I used to go to zoo with my relatives and rode a horse *sigh*. When I was around 2 or 3, I even  rode an elephant! Maybe I'm too scared now to do that thing...  Well, I just visited Kebun Binatang Bandung around 2 months ago, so this is my review that day..

I went to zoo with my bf on Sunday, 22nd of February 2015. We were tired of mall and there's nothing to watch that month, so we decided to went to a zoo. Unfortunately, we didn't bring camera so we couldn't take any photograph of the animals. We walk around the zoo, first, we looked around lions and tigers cage. Some were sleeping or eating, but well.. I saw a lion pooped :( I didn't want to watch it, but my bf looked excited tho. Then we saw mongooses and bats. Of course, the bats were sleeping....... Then we looked around stable. There were zebras and horses. And lucky me, there was an orangutan with his guard walk around to amuse the visitors. A lot of middle aged women seems scared and shrieked when they took a photo together with orangutan. The funny thing is, there was a woman who gave him money and he ate it :( I repeat, he ate it! :( 

Then we went to bird park, there was a tons of bird species there.. We saw owls, eagles, pelicans, parrots, cockatoos, peacock, and so on. We saw the primates too! We passed by the elephant ride and see a big elephant, when I was younger and shorter, elephant felt way bigger........ Then we walked again, and we looked various species of monkey. They were so lively and some was vicious... I saw some giraffe and camel too! Then, we went down near lake for boats but we just sat in front of the lake and chit-chating, resting under the trees. And then we continued our way to snakes aquarium, but the sad thing is, I couldn't see the hidden snake because I'm not tall enough :( then we went to crocodile's place. And we saw a crocodile ate a raw chicken.. It's scary.. Well there's a playground and flying fox but we didn't go there. We rather went to the last spot, where there were bears, lions, tapir outside. There's a cultural show too, but because we're starving, we left the zoo early. It's such a blast! 

Kebun Binatang Bandung is one of the famous recreation park in Bandung. It is located at Jl. Kebun Binatang No.6, Bandung near ITB. The land area is around 14ha. Open everyday from 7 am till 6 pm and the ticket price is Rp20.000,- for 3 years above. There are a lot function of zoo, that is recreation, for learning, to preserve the culture and the floras and faunas. You can bring your mat/rent it to have a picnic with your family! It's happy to see a family enjoying the view of the zoo while having a picnic... But well, in weekend is full of crowds.

That's my experience, well I can't describe the animal one by one, but I'm so happy to see a view that I rarely see. Actually there are photos of me with orangutan and parrot but.... yeah not for public consumption. wkwk. But there is a photo of me with a peacock!

Song : Heal The World

Heal The World by Michael Jackson.

This post dedicated for our beloved world to remind people the humanity needs in this life.

 

"Heal the World" is a song from Michael Jackson's hit album, Dangerous, released in 1991. The music video (directed by Joe Pytka) features children living in countries suffering from unrest, especially Burundi. It is also one of only a handful of Michael Jackson's videos not to feature Jackson himself, the others being "Cry", "HIStory" and "Man in the Mirror". (The clips for "HIStory" and "Man in the Mirror" only feature Michael Jackson in archival footage). The version of the video included on Dangerous: The Short Films and Michael Jackson's Vision contains an introductory video that features a speech from Jackson taken from the special "spoken word" version of the track. This version was not included on Video Greatest Hits – HIStory featuring the music video. Jackson performed the song in the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show with a 35,000 person flash card performance.
In a 2001 Internet chat with fans, Jackson said "Heal the World" is the song he was most proud to have created. He also created the Heal the World Foundation, a charitable organization which was designed to improve the lives of children. The organization was also meant to teach children how to help others. This concept of 'betterment for all' would become a centerpiece for the Dangerous World Tour. In the documentary Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson said he created the song in his "Giving Tree" at Neverland Ranch.
An ensemble performance of "We Are the World" and "Heal the World" closed Jackson's memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on July 7, 2009. The song was performed as rehearsed by Jackson at the venue just weeks earlier, in preparation for his planned "This Is It" concerts in London along with "Dirty Diana". R&B singer Ciara sang the song as a tribute to Jackson at the 2009 BET Awards.
The song was played at the funeral of James Bulger^, and Jackson also donated the song to be used as the anthem for the charity the James Bulger Red Balloon Center, a school for children to go to if they are being bullied or have learning difficulties.

This song is very inspirational. People need to have more respect to other people, their surroundings, to our world. We have to help our friends who are on difficulties. We need to stand side by side so the world will be a better place for us, for our next generation.

DEWA ATHENA VII

Last Saturday, there was a sport olympic on my school. The name is DEWA ATHENA VII. It's the 7th year of DEWA ATHENA on my school, it held every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. So, this event will be around 2 months. Last Saturday was the opening of DEWA ATHENA VII. The opening were greetings from the head of the event and our Head of Student Council. Then our beloved headmaster, Pa Encang. After that, there was color run! We ran with the mascot who brought a torch and the sportwomen and sportmen leading us. I was the sportwoman from my class with Reza.

The route was from Bali field to Belitung street, then Saparua, then Bali streey. It was tiring because I can't run fast..... So I was late than other sportwomen and sportmen. Fortunately Fadhilla accompanied me. Thanks you omg. It's really fun! Then we selfied and took much photos in basketball field. Then the game started with football match between Liga BM all star and XI 3.

Well, our class played in relay race, tug of war, and girl mini soccer. Andddddd.............  We lose them all. But, I hope we can win in another time. Yeay. So these were our photos last Saturday.

ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA

The size, shape, and distance from the Earth’s surface of the ice crystals determine what kind of optical phenomenon people on Earth will observe. It also depends on whether the light is reflected or refracted by the ice crystals. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of an object. On the other hand, refraction occurs when light enters an object and bends.

The explanation above is about atmospheric phenomena which is happened naturally. Ms. Wiwin asked us to post a natural phenomenon and I chose the Atmospheric Phenomena to be my natural phenomenon because it's cool! I always love to see the skies so I am impressed with the beautiful skies.

Sundogs, light pillars, and other kinds of halos seen in the sky are atmospheric phenomena that occur when light, usually from a natural source, but also sometimes from artificial sources, is reflected or refracted by ice crystals in the atmosphere. So, I'll tell you about the Ice Crystals and the definition of each type of Atmospheric Phenomena.

Ice Crystals

Ice crystals can be found high up in the sky all around the world, at any time of the year. Generally, these crystals, which have a hexagonal molecular structure, are found in the cirrus clouds. Sometimes, in very cold weather, ice crystals form very close to the Earth’s surface. These crystals are known as diamond dust.
While the molecular structure of ice crystals is always hexagonal, their shape can vary from a flat plate to a column. Halos and other optical phenomena are created because of the interplay between the shape of the ice crystals and the angle between their facets. This angle is always 60 or 90 degrees. Because of this, scientists who study atmospheric optical phenomena classify them as 60 degree or 90 degree phenomena.
In addition to the shape of the ice crystals and the angle between the facets, the orientation of the ice crystals also determines the kind of optical phenomenon that will be created. Plate shaped crystals float in the air horizontally like a leaf. On the other hand, column shaped ice crystals tend to float in the air vertically.

Types of atmospheric phenomena:

Halos
Two kinds of halos are most commonly observed from Earth – the 22 degree and the 46 degree halos. In general halos can be seen throughout the year, around the world. However, they are more often seen in the winter months because the cold weather creates better conditions for the formation of halo-generating ice crystals.
22 degree halos are formed when light passing through an ice crystal bends 22 degrees, while 46 degree halos occur when the light bends 46 degrees.

22 degree halo

Sundogs
A sundog, also known as sun dog, mock sun or parhelion, consists of glowing spots around the sun. They are created by sunlight refracting off plate shaped ice crystals in the cirrus clouds. Sundogs are some of the most frequently observed optical phenomena and can be observed throughout the year and anywhere in the world. They are also associated with 22 degree halos.
Sundogs tend to be most visible when the Sun is close to the horizon. The part of a sundog closest to the Sun tends to be red in color, while the areas further away from the Sun generally appear blue or green.
Light from the Moon also creates glowing spots on both sides of the Moon, called moondogs. Also known as mock moon or paraselene, moondogs are rarer than sundogs because they only occur when the Moon is full or close to being full.

Light Pillars
Generally seen in cold, arctic regions, light pillars are an optical phenomenon where columns of light can be seen emanating from below or above a light source. Light pillars occur when natural or artificial light reflects off flat ice crystals in the air close to the Earth’s surface.
Light pillars caused by the Sun are called Solar or Sun pillars, while those caused by the Moon’s light are called Lunar or Moon pillars. When the light source is the Sun, light pillars are usually seen when the Sun is near the horizon. While Sun and Moon pillars are more common, light pillars can also occur due to the presence of artificial lights.
Because the ice crystals in the atmosphere reflect the source light, light pillars tend to take on the color of the light source.

Parhelic Circle
Parhelic circles are a rarer optical atmospheric phenomenon. They are white circular bands in the sky at the same level as the Sun or Moon. Generally, only parts of the circle can be seen at a time. They are generated when vertical or nearly vertical ice crystals of any shape reflect sunlight (or moonlight).

That's it! I hope you can enjoy my post. Thank you :)

ADVERTISEMENT

Hello guys, today in English lesson, Ms. Wiwin gave us an advertisement task. We had to make an advertisement and the target is student. So.... I made this advertisement.

I persuade all of you to read!! Reading is a must. Reading improves your knowledge and imagination. Also, your brain will more working and think more logically, so you can more critical yet accurate. You can make your frikin' enemy down to your feet because of your smartness. And people will love you if you use this smartness right and humbly. Brainy is the new sexy:)

You can read any books, anytime, anywhere. Books won't give you bad influence if you can control your state of mind and choose wheter it's right or wrong things. But if you read the adult book, then you're completely perv.

So, all the teenager out there, use your time for reading. Stop doing stupid things such as bullying, smoking, even drugging! It's completely not cool. Ew! It's just wasted our time. Reading is a lead to a sunny future. You can learn so much from reading. From life philosophy to how to crack an egg. You can even learn love life or increase your care in social society.

So, don't forget to read every day!

Ps. Even read your grocery list. I'm not the only one who read it, aren't I?
