The Untaken Care Environment

World is like a living thing that is just like us or even animals. It is very important for us to know and admit that we live on Earth and in one condition where we need each other's attention in order to live peacefully. What has been happening around us, throughout the world, is that human kinds do not take care of the environments, in which it would be so much troublesome of the balance is not even. All these mess are most likely caused by human that do not give a good feedback to the environment where these environment actually naturally just give away what the human need. Human kind cut down trees illegally just to make a wider are so that they ca have more buildings in order to make life more convenient and easier, according to them. Human kinds build more and more factories that produce so much gasses that harm the environment, however, according to those builders in this era, we can not afford to waste any times thinking about "saving Earth" whereas, according to them, world has became modern. All of those mentioned above are very true, but one thing we should always remember though, trees and all around us such as the environments are connected and have an enormous effect to our daily life activities, therefore, we all must be in balanced. Plantations make the air cooler, and the better air we consume, the better life spend we will have. These trees and plants are the "filters" for the good air and oxygen we inhale. Environment give us enough stock of needs for our daily life. We should have more social community activities explaining and describing what are actually need. We must make a better future for our children and give so much appreciations to the world for letting us to live peacefully with the gifts of being as "filters".

Early Marriage

Marrying has been an issue to the young people nowadays. Many young people got married at such early age, and I think it just fine. Marrying is your right to do. As a human being, we have a complete control of what we are desired to do as long as the activities are not making other people injured. Early marriage gives you a long time of a relationship with a full right of what you will do with you bride or bridegroom. You will have a longer time to spend with him/her. Early marriage is also the solution for those people who are no longer able to control their lust towards males or females. Especially in Islam, marriage is a way of controlling ourselves. I think this reason is not just suggested to the muslim people. There are actually some considerations for us to think about whether we want to get married at early age. Young people tend to put their emotion in the first place, rather than just be patient and think straightly. I think you will not possibly organize your family if you put your emotion first. You also need to have a strong mental just in case there are some unpredictable things happen to you and your family. I think those kind of things are only yourself whom known it well, not people around you. So, as long as you are ready and know the consequences, just get married.

Schooler and College Student

Being a student is not cool as it always been. You are being told by lectures and teachers to do works that, I am pretty sure, you do not feel like to do them. I can not tell which one is better, being a student in school or in college. First thing you can easily recognize, in schools, you have to wear uniforms. These uniforms have the same colors. However, certain uniforms are worn only on certain days. It is the wearing of the uniforms one being scheduled. Whenever you do not wear the proper uniforms as what has been scheduled, you going to be asked why and if you do not have the right reason, you are going to be in trouble. It is very different when you are in college. In college, you do not have uniforms. You may wear clothes as vary as you want, however, you may wear a very different clothes to other. The only thing that counts is the politeness of the clothes. You may wear whatever kind of clothes you want but it must be the polite one. Second contrast from schools and in college is the amount of work you must do. In schools, teachers do not give as much homework as you would be in the college. Schoolers have many classes to take and such short time for holidays and to do the works. It is very contrast when you are in college. In college, you do not have many classes as you are in school. You must do many works when you are in college, because you have few classes to take. There are more holidays you will have than you are in schools, lectures tend to give many works because of that. Basically the contrasts are easily to be seen, lectures are easy going people and teachers tend to be be more serious towards the students education.

Yudi and Rifky

It has been about one year that I have same classes with Yudi and Rifky. Those two people are very common in many ways.

First, if you look at them, right away you will notice that physically they have the same amount of weight. They are kind of fat. Their stomach are both big and their cheeks are chubby. The hands are also big and he neck too. Second, their English are good and perhaps sort of fluent to American English. The way they talk are very easy to understood. The pronunciation is perfect for me. They both use easy words that we, as the second speaker of English, can easily recognize it. In spite of their fluently of speaking English, they like to skip classes whenever they like to. They skip classes many times, especially for the class that they don't like. However, they are actually smart. They answer questions when they are being asked by lectures. They do homework although mostly they just copy the work from friends. Finally, the las thing I recognize from them is that they are at making jokes. Anything that they talk about always make me laugh to death. The way they use and mix English with Bahasa Indonesia is just very good in the use of jokes. Basically they have many similarities and I supposed those similarities are in good ways.

True Friend Came by Accidently Just To Say A "Hello"

Friend, for me was not just a kind of a person who could keep you being accompanied. I found it was difficult to find just a single friend. I had people who accompanied me, but they were all nothing. Friend, in my thought, was that who can reach where your soul lies. There was a slight difference between true friend or not. My experience was kind of funny. When I was in my 8th grade, one of my friends gave me a phone number of his friend. I was very happy because I got a new number just right after I got my cellphone. So, I contacted the number and I found out her name was Paskah, lived in Kediri. Paskah was in 11th grade, which it was way higher than me, but I didn't care. It was pretty funny actually, having a long distance friend whom I had never seen her before and much older than me. She understood me very well and did not even complain about me that always contacted her and for our big GAP in ages. Days go by and we got closer. She introduced me to her mother and I had no idea why she would do that and why I agreed to her. It was not like I wanted to be her boyfriend or anything like that, in fact, I felt comfortable as long as she replied my sms which she always did. We texted for reminding daily activities and some poems about friendaship. We were very close that I had the idea of calling her as my sister and she would call me as her brother. However, we had been friend for three years and nothing did changed, however, we got closer and that was just perfect. Three years at that time, we had been together in a long distance friendship. After she graduated from high school, she moved to Malang to enter a college. The same as me but in different year, I moved to Malang to continue my high school. For such a long time, we finally met at her place. Things were just getting better and much better. We hung out together to places and just had fun. After a six years friendship, we decided to go on our own lives. Something between us was missing, but it didn't matter. We still needed each other and we still texted each other. Friendship that I could never regret was the fact that we lost contact. She was jut the one I needed.

Valentine Day

People have known that valentine day is annual commemoration for love held on February 14. A lot of  people celebrate a valentine day to express their deepest love to their friends, family and their couple. They are not only christian but also moslem people. But actually moslem people should not celebrate it because of three reasons. First of all, valentine day is celebrated to remind the death of priest Valentine. He was sentenced to dead by the emperor Claudius II because priest Valentine performed marriages for young lovers in secret. It is ok for the christian people if they want to celebrate it. It is one of the way to remember the priest. But for moslem people, they should not celebrate it because in Islam, there is no valentine day. However, there is still some moslem people celebrate the valentine day to appreciate other people. The second reason, is that valentine day will waste a lot of money. For the moslem people who celebrate the valentine day have to buy some stuff like chocolates, candies, flowers and T-shirt. They have to give the stuff for their couple, friends and family because that is the tradition of  valentine day. In my opinion, they will spend a lot of money for the stuff. So if they want to save their money, they should not celebrate it. The third reason is that they could still show their love without celebrating the valentine day. They can show their love everyday. Because showing love is not limited by time and place. If they celebrate the valentine day, it means they only have love on that day and there is no love on the other days. All in all, valentine day should not be celebrated it by the moslem people. Besides it is not allowed in Islam, it also wastes money. We can show our love everyday, right?
