Learning Language

I really like learning language. To me learning language is an interesting activity. It is interesting because I can listen to different sounds of words which can be produced by different people. I can also learn about different custom, culture, and way of thinking of people in a certain country just by learning the language.
The first foreign language i;ve learned is English. I learned English when i was in the second grade of elementary school. AT that time my teacher only taught me about how to make sentence more or less "it is a ...." and to reply a question: yes it os or no it isn't. I rarely read an English text at that time. When i was in Junior High, my English was progressing. In the second grade i started to send letters to my English teacher. I learned English by myself and the first skill that i master is writing. Then i started to learn the second skill which was speaking. But not direct speaking. I chat to foreigners through chat room like the #chatworld, #worldchat,#teenchat, etc.
http://www.buzz.com
Then i gained my listening skill by watching film with English subtitle. It helps me to know some new vocabulary. Songs also taught me pronunciation and listening skill. I've started to listen to English songs since o was about 10 years old. The for reading i've started when i was in junior high. My mother used to buy me some English magazine. Though i don't understand the meaning but i kept on reading it. Then slowly i learned how to pronunce correectly and in the end to understand the meaning completely.
The second foreign language that I ever learned is Italian. I learned from books, but it was only for about less than 3 months. Then i quit learning.
The third foreign language that i've learned is French. To me learning French is more difficult than Engglish.The structure is different. Even worse, th pronunctaion is so difficult. I've learned it for more than a year, but not continuous. And unfortunately i haven't had any time to expose myself more to this language. The input and the exposures are a few. So i was at the novice level, and the worst is now i almost forget my French.
Though learning language takes time and need hard work, i really like it. I want to be a polyglot )someone who speaks many languages). Maybe 2 more languages? Hopefully

Reading Comics and Novels

I love reading reading since i was in elementary school.
I read all of genre story from mystery, comedy, teen, romance, fantasy, and anything ~
For comics i prefer Shonen Manga that Shojo Manga.
Shonen manga is comic for teenage boys, and Shojo is comic for teenage girls

These are my favorite comics until now ::

1st : Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) by Yana Toboso

I guess this is a popular comic now. The story is not monoton and a bit different. It's about hell butler (Sebastian Michaelis) who serve a magician (Ciel Phantomhive). The genre of the story is fantasy of course

2nd : Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle by CLAMP

This is a quite old comic but i really love the story! I love all comic by CLAMP, because CLAMP always make a awesome story. This comic is about adventure to search Sakura's wings to return her memories  back. The characters is from all CLAMP comics. All appear in this comic.

3rd : Oniichan to Issyo (With My Brother) by Hari Tokeino

This is a family comedy comic. I love this comic because the story is really funny! xD

4th : Kirarin Revolution by Nakahara An


An idol life story ~

Acctually i have many books that i like but i think those are the most.

And for my favorite novels, it's only two. That are Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan and Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling. Both is a fantasy story. I love fantasy, especially the writers write like it real happen! They style of writing is cool.

In Indonesia, New Yer Eve celebrated with around the city by car or motorcycle, trumpet from cardboard that rung by people in the street, and entertainment venues has become the cultural community when new year come.

Last year my family and I celebrated the New Year  Eve with round the city. We arrived at 11 o'clock and went to Tunjungan road. There were so many people with their noisy motorcycle.  I don't know why they changed the exhaust with the noisy one. I thought It was strange!

I have so many favourite foods. But I love noodle very much. Noodle made from flour. I like all kind of noodle. for example : Instant noodle, bakmi, pangsit (mie ayam) or spaghetti. Eventough my mother cooks noodle everyday, I never get bored 'n I dont know why... noodle is like Important for me. I like eat noodle since I was a Child until now.

I have many favourite taste of instant noodle. This are some of them : Lada hitam, Ayam kecap, kaldu Ayam, Ayam Bawang etc.

For Bakmi, Almost every night I buy Bakmi without vegetable near from my home, I usually call the seller "Ambon", because he has black skin. hehehe......

If Mie Ayam, I usually buy it in warung Bakso Tengger because the stall sell meatball too. The cost is cheap, just Rp. 6.000. It's complete if I eat it with 3-4 spoons of condiment

Soto Daging Kalkulator

www.ficforlife.blogspot.com

Soto Daging Kalkulator which translated into Calculator Meat Soup is a famous cuisine in Surabaya. The food stall is located in Taman Bungkul just next to the skating area. The food stall (warung) name is actually “Sedap Malam”. This warung is always crowded by soto lovers. Based on my observation the warung opens daily from 4 p.m until late night. What special from this soto is it is soto Lamongan. Usually the meat soto is Madurese one which taste doesn’t suit mine. Soto Lamongan has lighter taste which completed with fried innards and perkedel (fried mashed potato). It is served in the evening with some shrimp crackers.
Soto itself is a traditional cuisine. It can be found in almost every region in Indonesia. Every region has its own way in making the soto (soup). The soup made of meat or chicken broth. Even many put innards (jeroan) in the soup. Of course, it’s not my favorite.

Rawon Kalkulator
(eastjava.com/blog)
Soto daging kalkulator is famous, because the seller will count things that you’ve ordered and tell each price like a machine. He will mumble like a robot in a funny rhyme and tone while calculating food that you eat there. Moreover, so far Soto Daging Kalkulator is the only meat soto a la Lamongan. I haven’t  found any other place. The soto is quite pricey compare to other warung. Of course, when it’s compare with a nice restaurant the price is reasonable. If you have time and want to spend more money to taste the soto, I highly recommend this place. If you don’t like soto, you can try the black soup (rawon) in this place too.

Fried rice


Fried rice is one of the famous food in Asia. Many countries in Asia love this food. Especially for Chinese and Indonesian foods. Fried rice really cheap. Everybody can buy this food or make it by self. The ingredients are garlic, egg, onion, salt, pepper, rice, vegetables, some meat and sauce. I really like fried rice. It can be alternative food when our parents not cooking anything. It's nice and perfect....!!!!
Fried rice not only famous in Asis, but also in America. But the differences between Asian fried rice and American fried rice are they use soya sauce and hot dog. Chaufa is popular version of fried rice in Peru. It combines with Chinese recipe and some South American flavor. Anothe version is Curry fried rice, it same with another fried rice but the different is they use some curry powder for the flavor.
For me fried rice is nice food. My mom always bought it for me when we don't have food for dinner. You just need Rp 6.000,- for buy it. If you wanna eat clean and healthy fried rice, you can cook it in your home. If my mom make it, she never use tomato sauce. She only use galic, onion, chili, tomato and vegetables and then we blend it. I always use vegetables for cook fried rice. The vegetables are carrots, broccoli, salad, bean and celery.


It's really nice. Sometimes we eat it with chicken, crackers and pickle. It only be the complement. When we will buy fried rice in some place who so many people sell it, you must make sure that seller that you choose is right. Make sure first before you feel disappointed.
For people who hate fried rice....i think you need to try it. I'm sure after you try it you will wanna it again...again...and again.Sometimes i really hate when the seller is dirty and sell unhealthy food. But i'm luck because i always have special place for buy fried rice. Don't forget to try it ....!!!

Princess Aurora



Once upon a time, there were a King and a Queen. They had not any children. This problem made them very sad. But one day, when the Queen walked arround the river bank, a little fish lifted up his head from the water and said “Your hope will come true and you will have a daughter”.

The fish prediction came true. The Queen gave birth a beautiful daughter. The King couldn’t held his happiness. They gave the name to their daughter “Princess Aurora”. The King held a big banquet and invited all of the family, relatives, friends, and the citizen in his kingdom. He also invited all of the fairies in his kingdom, so that they could guard againts the princess and blessing her.

There were thirteen fairies in the kingdom, but the king only had twelve gold plates for the fairies. So he decided to invite only twelve fairies and didn’t invite the thirteenth fairy.

All of the guests and the fairies came on thet banquet. They gave the best gifts to the little princess. The first fairy gave her a kindness, the other fairies gave her a beauty, a wealth, etc. So the little princess almost got all the best things in this world.

When the eleventh fairy already gave the blessing, the thirteenth fairy that didn’t get the invitation became so angry, and came to the banquet and took the revenge. The thirteenth fairy said “When she’s fifteen years old, she will stabbed by a sewing needle and she will die”.
The twelfth fairy that had not gave the blessing yet said “The curse from the thirteenth fairy will happen, but I can lighten that curse. The Princess won’t die, she only will sleep away for a hundred years”.

The King expected the twelfth fairy could rescue his beloved daughter from the curse. He comanded to all of people in his kingdom, all of sewing needle in his kingdom must throwed away and destroyed. While all of the blessing from the fairies came true. The Princess was very beautiful, kind, friendly, and wise. All of people loved her.

In her fifteenth birthday, the King and the Queen left the kingdom and Aurora was alone in the kingdom. The Princess explored the kingdom area and saw many rooms in the kingdom. Finally she entered into an old tower. She climbed the narrow stairs and found a little door. There was a gold key suspended on the door.
When Aurora opened the door, she saw an old woman was sewing with the seweing needle and looked very busy.

“Hi ma’am! What are you doing here?”, asked Aurora.

“I’m sewing and embroider”, said the old woman and hod her head.

“How beautiful an embroidery is that”, said Aurora.

Aurora took the sewing needle and joined to embroider. Unfortunately she was stabbed by the sewing needle and the curse really happened. The Princess fell down to the ground. She would sleep away for a hundred years.
The King and the Queen that already came to the kingdom and all of the ministry slept away. Horses in a pen, dogs in the yard, doves on the roof, and flies on the wall, all of them were sleep away. Moreover the fire that was flame stopped, the cooked meats became freeze.
The wild and thorny plants grew faster arround the kingdom and thicker every year. Even the smoke and the smokestack couldn’t see because of that plants.

But the story about the beautiful princess was known until all of the world. So many princes came and tried to enter the kingdom but they always failed because of the thorns.
A hundred years passed. The curse still couldn’t broken. One day a brave prince that alredy heard the story said “All the story will not make me affraid, I will go and see the beautiful princess there”.

Then the prince arrived in front of the plants. He just saw nice plants and passed it easily. When the prince arrived in the kingdom, the kingdom was so quiet and he could heard his breath. He entered the kingdom further and got into an old tower. He opened the door and saw a beautiful princess. He couldn’t took his eyes off of the princess. Then the prince knelt to the ground and kissed the princess. After that the princess opened her eyes and woke up. She was smiling to the prince because the curse had broken. Both of them ran from the tower.

At that time all of the people in the kingdom and the animals woke up too. Finally the King and the Queen held the wedding party for the Prince and the Princess. Then they lived happily ever after.
                                                                       _the end_



I like Princess Aurora. She is a beautiful and pretty princess. She wears pink dress, a gold necklace, and a gold crown. She has white skin, beautiful eyes, and blonde hair. I have many things about Princess Aurora, start from pencils, pens, a diary book, a picture frame, a calendar, a towel, a greeting card, a key chance, etc.
I wish I can have more collection about Princess Aurora. Some people said that it’s too childish. Bur I don’t care about it. Because collecting things about Princess Aurora is one of my simple pleasure ... =)

Special A


Comic is the one of my favorite things in this world. I like to read all comic from anyone author, genre or country. Now i’ll recommen you to read my favorite comic—Special A!

Special A is manga written by Maki Minami. The first published at 2003 in The Hana to Yume Magazine. This comic ended after 99 chapter (17 volume or 24 episodes) on March 2009.

Hakusenkan (or Private Hakusen Academy) is the best school in the prefecture. The classes are separated into A-F based on grades. The A class is only open for the top students in each grade and the smartest and the topmost students entered at Special A class—just 7 student there. The members of SA are highly respected. The SA class has own building,  a 19th-century styled greenhouse dubbed "The School's Paradise". It also have a kitchen, garden, private room, the most complete library, etc. Their uniform is also different from the standard uniform. The students of SA have special ruler too, they free to unattend the school schedule even played truant, but they must survive their score if they want to keep at SA class. Because just 7 topmost students can entered it. The members of the SA are permanent—it causes they can survive their score, and have been close friends since elementary school.

Special A told about Hikari Hanazono, a girl who have ambition to lose Kei Takashima—her rival since six years old. Their first meeting when their father were gathering and introducing them each other. Hikari and Kei are father like to watch wrestling competition, so they asked Hikari and Kei to fought (Hikari and Kei have skill in wrestling before). Hikari who felt stronger than Kei, asked him to attacked her first. She believed that she can won from Kei, but unfortunately, Kei’s first attack made her fell, cant stand up and lose. Since that day Hikari asked her father to enter her at the same school with Kei.

Everyday Hikari struggle to lose Kei, starts with study 8 hour per day, run 7 km per day, etc. And every competition she bet with Kei—who be the winner, and every competition she lose and second be second rank after Kei—until Kei called her Miss second rank. But often Hikari’s lose, oftener she learned and asked Kei to fight again. And without Hikari knew Kei fell in love her.




So it can read by all people from anything old. It also easy read too, so we can read it in anything situation.


So how Hikari's struggle to lose Kei? Can her? And how Kei's struggle to get Hikari's love?



Or
It??

I'm a pisces and I love music. I can listen to almost all kind of music, from Indonesian 70s to Beastie Boys rap. I love internet and can't enough thankful to the creator, without him I won't be able to write in such amazing web 2.0 technology.
 I'm an English teacher at Atma English Course at Jalan Manukan Dalam Blok 18E no 1, Surabaya. I've been teaching at Atma for almost 5 years. I'd like to make my students to practice their English more and be more confident. That's why I've asked the students to participate in this blog. They are all students of Speak Up Class. I have Lily who designed this blog-she's so good at drawing; Ema who wrote a lot about Harry Potter as her first post; Fifi who suggested me some places to eat; Nindy who loves football and irfan Bachdim a lot; Indy-who is trendy with lovely smile; and Rahayu a.k.a Ryu who just joined my class less than a month.
Everyone is unique, but we love our class. That's what make me love them and make my Saturday so bright..

Irfan Bachdim


Irfan Haarys Bachdim is a football player. He's my favorite football player. He's handsome >,<
Many girls in Indonesia like him. He has cute smile. He's a dutch. He was born at Amsterdam, Netherland on August 11, 1988. Now He's about 22 years old.

He has black hair. He's tall. He has eyes that the colour like cat''s eyes, I think.He has pointed nose. He has white skin. He has tatto on right hand. I don't know the picture......
He has a girl friend. His girlfriend's name is Jennifer Kurniawan. Jennifer is german. Jennifer is sister of Kim Kurniawan, one of the Persema malang player.

O yeah, Irfan Bachdim has played with the National Team of Indonesia. his back number is 17. After played with the national team, suddenly He has a problem. Persema Malang came out from Indonesia Super League (ISL). So Persema moved Indonesia Primer League (IPL). LPI -in Indonesia- is illegal for PSSI. because that Irfan Bachdim can't play with national team of Indonesia. It's hard for Irfan, because his ambition in Indonesia is he wants to be a football player at the national team of Indonesia. but when press conference, he said if he choose persema. he desired to leave his ambition for Persema. You know, Persema is his first team in Indonesia that he enjoyed.
I think, now Irfan Bachdim has forgot his problem with PSSI. Because he always smiles and look cheerful when he will play football.

I like him because he's very handsome :) . I like his teeth. And now, I can see Irfan Bachdim everyday because now he appeared in a advertisement on TV. haha :D
How about you ???

it's his fashion after he make a score .....




THANK YOU..........

Durian

 
Durian is famous fruits in Indonesia. Many people love durian. Durian have big size, thorn cover the body and also strong odour. I don't like durian because the odour and the taste. Durian is from Southeast Asia. Every people love durian from the taste but, for people who eat it more and more they will get stomachache. Some people really hate it, including me.
I ever try it after that i feel puke. I really hate the smell, for me the smell is bad. All about durian i don't like. Everythings that made from durian i don't like. Bread with durian jam, durian ice-cream, durian milkshake etc i don't like.
Not only the durian that we can eat, we also can eat the seeds. After we eat the durian we can collect the seeds and cook it. We can cook it with water, you can eat it when still warm. Durian have so many vitamin C. Durian also be source for cabohydrates, proteins and fat.
Remember, not recommend for us if we eat it to much.Because it will make us sick. Until forever i will never try to eat durian. Forever ......

Harry Potter



Harry Potter is a sekuel about magic. This sekuel was created by Joanne Kathlen Rowling. The idea of this story was began when she got on the train from Manchaster to London. In a crowded situation she got an idea. She imagined a boy that has disorder black hair and wears glasses. He did not realize that he was a witch. When J. K. Rowling was a child, she and her family moved to Winterboune, Bristol, England. She got many friends. One of her friends has family’s name, Potter. Then she used that name as family’s name of little witch in her imagination.



There are seven stories about Harry Potter. First is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the second is Harry Potter and the Chamber of the Secrets, the third is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the fourth is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fifth is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and the last is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. There are the films also about each story of Harry Potter. But in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ film, devide into two films Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II. The genre of the films are can be adventure, fantasy or mystery. Those films always includes in box office movies. David Yates has been being the director of three last films.

Those films are starring Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ronald Weasley, Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, Michael Gambon as Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort, Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid, Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom, Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy, Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood, Katie Leung as Cho Chang, Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, Gary Oldman as Sirius Black, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange, Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley, Jessie Cave as Lavender Brown, James and Oliver Phelps as Fred and George Weasley, Jason Issacs as Lucius Malfoy, etc.

So who is Harry Potter?

Harry Potter is a boy that has talented being a witch. People who haven’t talented being witch called muggle. He is James and Lily Potter’s son. Harry was brave, charming, currious, and sometimes naughty. Unfortunately when he was a baby, his parents was killed by Voldemort. So he lived at Privet Drive no.4, Little Winging, Surrey with his uncle (uncle Vernon), aunt Petunia, and his cousin (Dursley). Aunt Petunia was Lily Potter’s sister. But they were cruel to Harry.

When Harry was 11 years old he got a letter from Hogwarts (magic school). The headmaster of Hogwarts was Albus Dumbledore. There were four classes in Hogwarts, Griffindor, Huflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. At Hogwarts he got into Griffindor Class. He got new friends and best friends too. His best friends were Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Hermione was the cleverest student in Hogwarts, she also beautiful. But one of the teachers in Hogwarts was wicked to Harry. But in fact he really loved Harry Potter and he always protects Harry from the Dark Lord.

Harry had a pet, names Hedwig. Hedwig was a female owl. She has white fur. Hedwig was a gift from Hagrid when Harry had the eleventh birthday. Hedwig could send letter or gift, she has mother’s soul to Harry Potter. But she had low opinion of others owl and yelling when she got angry.



Most of the witches called him “You-Know-Who” or “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named”. Moreover his follower just called him “The Dark Lord”. J.K. Rowling often apparance dialog between Harry and Dumbledore just for reveal who was Voldemort actually. Voldemort was wily, wicked, and cruel. He could kill someone with unforgiven spell “Avada Kedavra”. He was great witch and hates muggle very much and Mudbloods too (half blood between muggle and witch). Voldemort’s name came from anagram “Tom Marvolo Riddle”, he made his new name to forget his past that sadden. His parents were death and he lived in orphanage. The smart Voldemort devided his soul into seven part and saved it into Horcux (things that can save the piece of the soul) for make him live forever.



Between Harry and Voldemort had special relation because when Harry was a baby, Voldemort tried to kill him but Harry’s mother protected him as strong as she could. Fortunately Harry was alive and Voldemort couldn’t kill him but Harry had a scar in his forehead because of Voldemort. And when his scar feels pain he realized that Voldemort was appear. One thing that Voldemort really scared was the death.

And to kill Voldemort, Harry needed to broke all the Voldemort’s Horcux ...
