      One afternoon , when the five-footed bear went home ,  he found a rabbit under a mahogany tree. The rabbit looked hungry. Then , the five-footed bear brought him to his home.
       The next day , when the five-footed bear was looking for meal , the rabbit helped him clean up the house. While the rabbit was working , a monkey and a mouse deer came quietly. They pretended to be robbers. They wanted to disturb the rabbit.
         The rabbit was frightened. The monkey and the mouse deer tied up the rabbit’s legs and plugged his mouth. Fortunately , the five-footed bear came and released him. The rabbit was upset because the bear wasn’t angry with the monkey and the mouse deer. In fact , the five-footed bear let them live in his house.
        On the next day the monkey and the mouse deer asked the rabbit to forgive them. They helped him clean up the house. In the evening when the bear was coming home, he brought them meals and a new friend. The monkey and the mouse deer were very afraid knowing who the new friend was. He was a tiger. But the rabbit wasn’t afraid. The tiger was one of the rabbit’s best friends. The monkey and the mouse deer didn’t know it. The monkey and the mouse deer were very embarrassed. That was  the cleverness of the five-footed bear. He wanted to make them aware of their bad habit of frightening the rabbit. Then , they sat and enjoyed their dinner together.

     Once upon time , there was a king named Bondowoso. He was famous for his powerful weapon called Bandung. Therefore Bondowoso was called Bandung Bondowoso. Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with a beautiful princess, Loro Jonggrang. He wanted to marry her. Loro Jonggrang was afraid to refuse his proposal because Bandung Bondowoso would destroy her kingdom if she refused.
      To make things difficult for Bandung Bondowoso to marry her , Loro Jonggrang gave some rrequirements , she asked him to build her one thousand temples within one night , Bandung Bondowoso had to finish then before sunrise. Without doubt of his success , he accepted the requirements .
      With the help of genies and spirits , Bandung Bondowoso and his allies  built the temples. At four o‘clock in the morning , Bandung Bondowoso had only five more temples to buil. Loro Jonggrang panicked because she knew he would complete the taks.
       Suddenly , Loro Jonggrang had an idea. She called all the woman in the kingdom and asked them to pound rice. She also asked the men to burn a lot of wood at the east side of the kingdom. Hearing the sound of pounding and seeing a bright sky , the genies and spirits were afraid. They ran away with only one more temple to complete. They thought the morning had come.
        Bandung Bondowoso was extremely angry when he found out what Loro Jonggrang had done him. He cursed Loro Jonggrang and turned her into a statue.
        If you visit Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta you will see a statue of a beautiful woman inside one of the temples. That is the Loro Jonggrang.

The Nile River


          The Nile River is the longest river in the world. Its length is around 4.180 miles. It flows through Uganda, Sudan and Egypt.
          It has two main tributaries. They are the Blue Nile and the White Nile. The White Nile stars in the Great Lakes region of central Africa. The Blue Nile begins at LakeT’ana in Ethiopia. These two rivers meet near Khartoum the capital city of Sudan.
          There is another shorter tributary. It’s Atbarah river, or also known as the Black Nile. However, this river flows only while there is rain in Ethiopia and dries very fast. The Nile River ends in Mediterranean Sea.
          The Nile River is important for agriculture, food, transportation and tourism. Farmers grow wheat, sorghum, citrus fruit, sugarcane and cotton along the Nile River, and they use the river to water their crops and plantation. People also fish this river. The river is used to transport goods to different places along its long path. The ships can travel up using the sail, and down using the flow of the river. Tourism is another main advantage of The Nile River. Some special places to visit are Aswan, Luxor, Giza, Cairo and Khartoum. People who like adventure will find traveling this river exciting.

Kangaroo (Macropus rufus)


          The Kangaroo is a common Marsupials from the islands of Australia and New Guinea. Marsupials are animals with pouch. They carry their babies in a pouch in the mother’s abdomen.
          Kangaroos have two strong legs with two long feet. They have a muscular long tail, large ears and a small head. They have short arms with clawed hands. The soft, woolly fur can be blue, grey, red, black, yellow or brown, depending on the species. Females have a pouch in which the young live and drink milk.
          These herbivores (plant-eats) eat grass, leaves, and roots. They swallow their food without chewing it. Kangaroos need little water; they can go for months without drinking, and they dig their own water wells.
          These shy animals live about 6 years in the wild and up to 20 in captivity. Most kangaroos are nocturnal (active at night). Kangaroos can hop up to 74 kilometers per hour and go over 9 meters in one hop.

Radio


          Radio is a form of communication in which intelligence is transmitted without wires from one point to another by means of electromagnetic waves. Early forms of communication over great distances were the telephone and the telegraph. They require wires between the sender and the receiver.
          Radio, on the other hand, requires on such physical connection. It relies on the radiation of energy from a transmitting antenna in the form of radio waves. This radio waves, traveling at the speed of light (300.000 km/sec.) carry the information. When the waves arrive at a receiving antenna, the original information contained in the radio waves is retrieved and presented in an understandable form, such as sound from a loudspeaker.
          The principles of radio had been demonstrated in the early 1800s by scientists, such as Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry. They had individual induced (produced) a current in another wire that was not physically connected to the first.
          All radio programs or signals are transmitted within a broad spectrum of waves called the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum is responsible for producing a variety of waves, including those that can be detected by  man-made machines, such as X-rays. Radio waves are among the many types of electromagnetic waves that travel within the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves can be defined by their frequency (in hertz, after Heinrich Hertz, who first produced radio waves electronically), which is the number of times they pass through a complete cycle per second. Besides, we can define radio waves by their wavelength, which is determined by the distance (in kilometers) traveled from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.

Television


          Television, or TV, is one of humanity’s most important means of communication. It brings pictures and sounds from around the world into millions of homes.
          People with a television set can sit in their house and watch the president makes a speech or visits a foreign country. They can see a war being fought, and they can watch government leaders try to bring about peace. Through television, viewers at home can see and learn about people, places, and things in far away lands. Television even takes viewers out of this world as the astronauts explore outer space.
          In addition to all these things, television brings its viewers a steady stream of programs that are designed to entertain. In fact, TV provides many more entertainment programs than any other kind of information media. The programs include action-packed dramas, light comedies, soap operas, sports events, cartoons, quizzes, variety shows, and motion pictures.
          More than 83 million homes in the United States -or 98% of all the countrys’ homes- have at least one television set. On the average, a television set is in use in each home for about 6 ¾  hours each day. As a result, television has an important influence on how people spend their time, as well as on what they see and learn. After they arrive from work, they usually watch TV. Then, the importance of television is proven.

I'm okay

on Selasa, 12 Februari 2013
I'm just trying to smile on myself
when dream is far from reality
when what I hope can't be true
when love had gone..

I'm just trying to wipe my tears by myself
never hoping someone wipes them for me
cause I don't want anybody knowing
how hurts I am

I'm just trying to looks that I'm okay
together with smile which maybe fake
step by step with kind of feels
tell me, I'm okay

With Tears

I wanna give my hands
take you out from there
but I can't reach you
can't do nothing

Look at the night sky
I just see the darkness
and my tears start falling down
but still can't do nothing

I wanna see you happy
just wishing you will be okay
be free, be happy
I remember you with the tears

I face your spirit
Which trying to escape from suffer
Keep smiling forever
Be sure, you will be free... soon

Beautiful Angel

I really thanks to God
He who gave me you
you the best gift in my life
you, the one who brings life for me
who brings light in my emptiness
who brings warm in my coldness
who shows way of life

I just wanna say sorry to God
He who gave me you
cause I hurt you..  often
make your tears fall
even make you angry
cause my words..
my naughtiness..

Mom, you're my beautiful angel
forever and ever

My Holiday


           Actually nothing was special in my holiday last month. I just spent most of my holiday at home. I became lazy during holiday. At that time, my daily activities were sleeping, eating, watching television, helping mother, listening to radio, and browsing. I slept at about 9 pm and woke up at about 5 am and I also took a nap in the afternoon for about 1,5 hours. Yeah, my sleeping time became longer. After sleeping I took a bath, and then I helped my mother. After that I had much spare time. I used it to watch television, but if I disliked the programs, I would shut it down. If I saw my sister who was playing beside me, I would join her to play or just to disturb her. Then if she was angry, I would choose to go to my bedroom. In bedroom I only laid on my bed, took my mobile then browsed the internet and chatted with friends.
            I and my family also visited my grandparent in Wonogiri, Central Java. We went there by motorcycle. That was first time I went there by motorcycle, because usually we went there by bus or car. In the way to get there I felt scared a bit, because the way was extreme. I saw many beautiful views, such as: the hills, the fields, the mountains, the rivers, the weir, and so on.
            We were very tired after reaching my grandparent’s house. We stayed there for about 4 days. I really enjoyed my time, there I enjoyed the view. I took some photos and visited my relation. One day I, mother and my sister went to the river to take a bath and to wash clothes. In the river I also played with my sister. Then we went to my grandparent’s field. The field looked like stairs from the far sight, so beautiful. There we picked coconut and ate it together.
            After 4 days we went back to Jogja and I came back to my boring activities.
            Well, that is my story about my holiday. Nothing’s special, but sometimes I miss the moment.
