Got Yelled and Thanked at

Had no class today, i decided to go for a walk this morning, It had been a while since the last time i went for a morning sightseeing. I put on my shoes, my brown-coral jacket, a hat and walk calmly around the neighbourhood. There was no much to see around here, but the air was quite fresh.

Why Did Hitler Hate The Jews?

Why did Hitler hate the Jews? This question is very difficult to answer and there have been many theories attached to Hitler’s hatred of the Jews. Hitler exhibited strong hatred towards Jews right from childhood. It was understood that he had two Jewish friends and he used to hate them both when he was a child. What really happened between them was not clear. Hitler’s father had two wives and he was very abusive man.

Most of it was gossip or guess work by people in an attempt to understand why he hated Jews so much. There should...

Meeting "Future" Parents in Law

Last night was my greatest obstacle i ever faced for 19 years. Rini asked me to meet her parents, and on the top of that, i must wear traditional javanese hat, Blangkon. "Is there any other way to meet your parents? Besides Blangkon?", i asked her that. "C'mon, you said you wanna impress them, this is the only way", she insisted. Really, i was not confident at all. I began to question my own self-esteem. I had to find another way, that was what i thought. Rini's parent were indeed very strict when it came to traditional dress. But, Blangkon? It was beyond my craziest imagination, my earlier plan was wearing a nice short-sleeved batik and simple...

A Living Cellphone?

I was gonna head to my class. When i suddenly realized, something important was missing. My cellphone! I thought i put it on my desk, but i didn't find it there. Obviously, i was panic. If i lost this one phone, i'll never get the new one for the rest of my life. Trying to calm down myself, i drank a glass of water when my housemate passed by. "Mas Randi, liat hapeku nggak?", i asked with high hope he knew where my phone was. "Wah, gak tau tuh. Emang terakhir kali kamu letakkan dimana?", he asked back. I took a deep breath.

What The Fuck Did I Do?

It was my last class today. Writing class with Mrs. Widi as the lecturer. She told us to make just a "simple" paragraph consist of 6-7 sentences. Clearly, she told us to make just a "simple" paragraph, but most of my classmates still needed more help to make it, including me. I still couldn't make a decent-short-paragraph which was considered as a piece of cake by native speakers. It proved that i still have a long way to go before i could stand on the same ground as the natives in english matter. I felt so useless. I thought i've made a great improvement since i graduated from high school. And foolishly i realized, i just realized it, i'm still...
