I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight, I need my television

Whoa ! My television is out of order and because of that I get sleeping disorder. Well, maybe that sounds exaggerating but actually that’s true. I cannot sleep well not because I am depressed thinking of my precious out of order TV, but because I cannot hear any sound from it before sleeping. Yea, that’s weird I know. Commonly people tend to sleep easier while they are in tranquil conditions but I am uncommon.  I tend to sleep easier when I hear sounds of human nearby. I feel secure and safe when I hear noises created by human, that’s why I always turn my TV on before sleeping. Last night I didn’t hear any 'lullaby ' from my TV. My focus was distracted by the sounds outside of my dorm and I kept thinking of the source of those sounds so that I couldn’t sleep well on that night. I don’t even place any clock at my dorm because I hate the tic toc sound of clock bugging me when I try to sleep. Do you know what kind of sleeping disorder I get? I don’t search it on google because if I search it on google I’ll lose any reason to write this post (lol) .

The Phenomena of Social Network

Nowadays, I think there are no people who don’t know what social network is. Almost all people from different social classes and ages have the account of Friendster, Facebook, or Twitter. The data show that social network such as Facebook becomes the most-visited site in Indonesia, it excel the number of visitor of search engine site such us Google.

The main function of social network actually is to connect people. By using social network, people from different place can be connected by just using internet connection as the ‘main bridge’. Teenager usually uses social network as the place where they pour their feelings and expressions, for example when they have problem regarding to love, when they feel angry, or when they feel sad. Another function of social network is for promotion. Many products are promoted in Facebook or Twitter. For promotion purpose, social network

EWC Writing Competition 3 : The Angers of Nature

Seems like today's posts will be all of my writings in English Writing Community Writing Competition's history since I found all of my writing of that writing competition. My next writing is my second writing for the third EWC Writing Competition. I skipped the second competition because the regulation stated that the winner of the first writing competition was not allowed to join the next competition. Well, that was a weird regulation but I didn't give any objection towards that regulation and thanks god because after the third one that regulation is revoked. My writing didn't be the one shown on the wall magazine because it lost to the writing of the owner of www.sincerelyputdar.blogspot.com which is also the owner of my heart, LOL. Untill now I still don't know what her writing was and why I lost to her, but if you want to know my writing, this is it  :D

The Angers of Nature

A hundred of bodies lying on the ground, many houses are destroyed because of the horde of water that pass through them blindly, those are some of the result of deluge that happened in Wasior, Papua. Tsunami in Mentawai may be not as devastating as Tsunami that happened in Aceh several years ago. But,

EWC Writing Competition 1 : What’s in My Mind about Writing?

I still don't know what I have to write on this new born blog, so I dig deeply the drive on my notebook and I found my writing of the first writing competition held by English Writing Club ESA 2010 (the student union of my campus). I was the winner of that competition, I got a certificate and some limited merchandises as the winner. Below is my writing, I try to keep it original by giving no editing.

What’s in My Mind about Writing?

           In my mind writing is not merely the black ink that spills on the sheet of a white papers. Not just combinations of letters that form words, not just combinations of words that form sentences, or form of the paragraphs that make us confuse when search for the main idea. I believe it is a form of unlimited expression of human being. Writing is tear drop, smiles, or anger that is expressed by texts. No such words that cannot be expressed by writing. Many people write their feelings, their sadness, their happiness or their dissatisfaction

Camping

When a holiday in senior high school came, my friends and I decided to go camping. A day before, I prepared all things that I had to bring like a Jacket, food, firewood, medicine etc. We made an appointment that we would gather at 03.00 P.m. I realized that in camping we would stay awake late at night, so I decided to take a nap. Unfortunately I overslept and when I looked at my mobile phone there were many messages and miscalls from my friends who were waiting for me. Hurriedly I woke up, took all of the necessary things, and went to meet my friends.

After gathering, immediately we went to Kebun Raya Cibodas Pangrango. It was one of famous tourism objects in my town. The air was so fresh, the scenery was so beautiful and There were many facilities such as gardens, picnic areas, camping ground, water falls, cafeterias, souvenir shops, etc. of course we went to camping ground because we wanted to go camping. Arriving at the camping ground in early evening we prepared the tents immediately because the night was about to come.

The tent preparation had finished when the night came. we prayed maghrib together with the ground as the floor and the sky as the roof. Then we chatted, laughed, sang songs, told funny stories, got dinner and made a bonfire while enjoying the view of the night sky. Although the temperature was so cold the situation at that time was so enjoyable, exiting and amazing, we spent the night almost without sleep. We slept at 03.00 P.M on the air bed.

The rising sun touched our face, opened our eyes and woke us up in the morning with bright sky. We woke up, washed our face and made some food for breakfast. The breakfast wasn’t so luxurious and delicious. It was just a potluck but we ate it with ravenously because jokes and fun became the spices and additional flavors. Then we wandered around the area and took some photos. Some of my friends and I went to small forest near the area, it wasn’t like the jungle but the trees and bushes were so dense. We wandered more deeply through the forest just like ‘Si bolang’ did, and of course we took some photos as proofs that we were there.

After wandering inside the small forest we came back to the camp. There were several of my friends who used the air bed as a ship and they were flowing in the middle of the lake and they just used their sandals as the paddles. At first glance I thought that it was so dangerous and could risk our life because the lake was so deep and when we fell down to the lake we would drown and maybe we would die. I continued watching them flowing in the middle of the lake, they looked so happy, they smiled, they waved their hands to me and called me to join them. Finally I joint them. They came to the edge of the lake and picked me up. When I set my foot on the ‘ship’ I was so scary because they shook the ship to tease me. But gradually I could control my fear and enjoy the situation. We paddled the ship farther into the middle of the lake with our sandals.

The day came, the sun started to rose the temperature, we felt so tired and we decided to untie the tents and clean the environment which we messed up. Then we prepared to leave the camping ground. after the preparation had finished we gathered and took a photo to perpetuate this moment.
