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?

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

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 ...
