Writing

Maybe some peoples think writing is difficult and such a bored thing to do. I do think so.
Sometimes i feel writing is difficult, thinking about what should i write and how i write it.

But i love writing, in means writing a short story or a novel.

I like writing a story because i'm kinda bored with comics which i read, it always has 'happy ending' and i can easily guess how the story is end. That's really boring.

Even the story is good, but for me a story which can guess by the reader before they finish read it is not a success story. Because for me, 'a good story' is a story which can't predict by the reader and make the reader curious the ending, so they will read the story until the end.

Then i start to write a story. First i just fad to do it. When i showed my short story to my friends they said it good, yeah-- for begginer like me.
I think for that time i start to writing a story.

I used to always write a story with genre 'friendship', now i try to write in other genre like mystery, horor, suspens, or fantasy. Even i think i more dominan to write in teen romance, or love comedy ._____.
It 'cause my friends request, and i also accustomed to write that kind of genre story.

I like to learn from my older friends who like to write too.


Since i'm still a begginer i don't have any advice but i think Write a story is not always use a lot of imagination or talent, everyone is can write well they just need to practice. You just can observe the circumstances surrounding you, and try to write it down in your own way. Write anything and write everyday, i'm sure you can improve your writing skill. Then even it's just write, i think writing is need feelings too so you can write well.

Read books is help too, and don't be shy to wrong.

A writer can be anyone or anything.

Just keep writing!

Drawing

I love drawing since i was a child. Especially drawing manga (comic)
And lately i interest in painting too.
I think drawing is like express my feelings. When i'm bored, when i'm happy, or when i'm sad.
I always drawing.

At the first time i didn't really like drawing.
I just see my older sister drawing, she used to like draw fashion design and she's coloured it too.
Then i start interest to do it too. But when i tried it was really bad and the draw is not balanced at all.
I feel a bit annoyed .____.

When i like to reading comics, i fad to tried to draw manga.
It was Tsukino Usagi from comic Sailor Moon.

Then i get interest with drawing 'till now.

These are some my drawing.
I'm sorry my draw is still bad m(_ _ )m

And this is my latest manga which i drew :P LOL

As far i only domineer to draw a girl O-o
I still learn.. haha xDD

Sing Till You Drop

Karaoke is very familiar to me. When i was about 9 years old, i remember my parents bought a karaoke tape player. My father bought some cassettes and i sung almost everyday at that time (though the songs were Indonesian evergreen songs). I love singing and karaoke was a superb technology at that time.
As years gone by my best friend once asked me to join him at a karaoke place. Then it was the starter of my greatest moment in a karaoke room. I couldn't even feel that the time ticking so so fast. I didn't even notice that i've spent almost 3 hours for singing with my best friend. wow...
Then after that in a month i always have time for karaoke-ing. I've asked the other outstanding whizzes to save money and spend some time for karaoke-ing. I'll share more time when i have that with them.
The longest  time i've spent in a karaoke place is 3 hours. I can sing more than 50 songs within 3 hours. I sing the happy songs, sad songs, old songs, new songs, rap, hip hop, any songs.
To me karaoke is the best way to spend my time, to boost my mood, and unfortunately spend more and more money...sigh...

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.

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

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.

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.
