waiting for nothing

it must be a nice day when i got up and looked my mobile phone at 00.00 am

i don't know what i have to feel, happy or not

sacrificed the tears, but i still loving you, and you don't care at all

so ridiculous when i wrote my comments on ur facebook and easily, you deleted it

it should makes me understand from the very start...

i won't make your life harder just because i  forced you to remind this feeling

i try to keep it inside my head , but i can't

i just wanna know, whether you still remember me or not

it was late night

i cried why i couldn't be the only one for you

could you feel how difficult the way i take to fix these troubles?

twenty fifth november becomes my intuition to wipe the battle

keep on running and fight the bad feeling

masih di asrama, *curhat

khayalan ini mengantarkanku dalam sebuah pesona permainan rasa yang tak pernah kurasakan sebelumnya

sorot mata itu menjadi titik awal ku melangkah

menjadikannya sebuah inspirator dalam jiwa yang sepi

jam pasir terus berputar, begitupun sang rembulan, berganti dari sabit ke purnama

gersangnya ladang ilmu menjelma sebagai saksi bisu di setiap tragedi

siapa aku, siapa dia, dan siapa mereka

kunikmati setiap celah keramaian orang-orang bahasa dan seni, begitu mereka menyebutnya

entah apa yang merasuk dalam ruh ini hingga banyak yang menyalah artikan maksud hati

belum ku dapat jawaban yang sesungguhnya

mungkin nanti, besok, atau lusa

kubiarkan sang waktu menyimpan rahasia

aku tak pernah khawatir

sebab, Dia Yang Diatas tahu apa yang baik dan apa yang buruk untukku

*senin malam, ditemani langit tanpa bintang

november rain

aku menyebutnya hujan

namun hujan ini sama sekali tak berkawan

aku biasa menangis dalam hujan

karena ia yang akan menjadi topengku dalam keramaian

entah ini karma atau bukan

yang pasti november memberiku banyak kejutan

tak jauh berbeda dengan tahun lalu dan dua tahun yang lalu

layaknya de javu

untuk sesaat menawarkan senyum

tapi sesungguhnya hanyalah omong kosong dan tangisan pilu

orang-orang itu ....

seakan-akan tak pernah melihatku

aku disini

dengan hati

aku disini

merasakan setiap hembus angin dan hangatnya mentari

aku disini

menapaki hidup dengan  langkah-langkah yang pasti

aku disini

hidup, bukan seperti barang mati

lelah ku berusaha menutupi sandiwara murahan ini

y Tuhan...

kirimkanlah aku jibril atau ridwan

ah, jangan. . .

tak pantas ku dapat sapaan sang ridwan

aku hanyalah pendosa yang selalu mengeluh

ku merasa seperti akan jatuh...

namun keyakinanku tak akan pernah berhenti

kan kulakukan hal-hal sulit 

seperti yang Engkau suratkan kepadaku

aku berdoa untuk segala kebaikan mereka, dan untukku, amin...

aku malu !

abisnya km lucu siy, palagi yg pz ktemu di gg 7

NO !!!!

ah , kupikir kau rabun senja !

apakah benar-benar terlihat ???

pasti aku terlihat begitu konyol !!

aku memang tak berbakat jadi detektif
dan aku juga bukan anak polisi
ya sudahlah....
silakan kau tertawa sepuasmu

Mom Thea

It was my first day as university student. The lecturers looked like big boss. They brought big backpack, formal shirt, and of course their English like native speaker. It was hard to memorize their name one by one, but there was one lecturer who had special appearance on my mind. She was Mom Thea.

She is totally different from other lecturers. She is one of senior lecturers in English department. Her age is about 70 years old. When I met her for the first time, I thought she was a foreign. She speaks English very well, with good speech and pronunciation. She was so funny when she told us a story. I am interested and excited with her accent, just like Mr. Bean movie and Friends the series on television. Not only because of her accent but also her style, I am sure that everyone thinks she is an American when they hear Mom Thea speaks.

Mom Thea has a unique style. She has medium height, white complexion skin, and short white-hair. Sometimes, it seems like a blonde hair. Her small brown-eyes, a sharp well-formed nose, and thin lips are enough to make her look like American. She is still beautiful though her skin is getting old because she always make-up her face with powder and nice lipstick, so she looks more attractive on her 70 years old. She never wears strange clothes, ordinary simply shirts and trousers with soft motif. What a pretty old woman. She said that now, because of her age, she must use eyeglasses to help her sight and a small particular thing on her ear to help her hearing. “It was like noises, rumbling in my ears”, Mom Thea said.

            Mom Thea is my special lecturer. There is a secret on her. Somehow, she is my lecturer, but I am bored when she is starting a story in the class. I do not know why, she probably does not sense that we are sleepy with her telling story. However, her experience in education is really great. Actually, she is the only lecturer who never coming late in our class, although her slow steps show her age. Hopefully, other lecturers do the same discipline like Mom Thea.

home sweet home, pagiku yang cantik

tak sama dengan pagi-pagisebelumnya

ada yang berbeda dengan pagiku hari ini

mentari menyapa disela-sela gorden warna merah jambu

punggungku nyaman, kurasakan empuk yang berbeda dari asrama

"mbak, tangi .wes isuk.."

suara khas ini, ya...suara dari cowok anak-baru-gede, adikku...

perlahan kubuka mataku, dan kudengar mereka

aku suka keributan ini....

mama yang sibuk menyiapkan pakain merah-putih si bungsu kelas 6 SD

papa yang bingung dengan tenisnya

si ABG nakal dengan pakainnya yang amburadul

dan suara mesin cuci, pertanda bahwa aku harus bergegas bangun

tentu saja menjadi pembantu dirumah sendiri, hahaha

sambil menyusuri tiap titik istanaku

kunikmati mangga manis hasil dari kebun sendiri

wangi rerumputan dihalaman

menjadi inspirasiku tuk segera menyelesaikan tugas kampus

aku harus membayar mahal semua ini dengan lelah yang kurasakan

tak mengapa, karena inilah kebahagiaanku...

november 12nd 2010, depan komputer kamar papa, 9:59 am

secret admirer

rabu....kemarin

sepuluh november, begitu mudah ku mengingatnya

bukan...ini bukan obrolan hari pahlawan atau orasi pro kontra Obama di Jakarta

ini tentang cerita ditengah ricuhnya dosen yang kerap kali 'mengosongkan' jam kuliah

skenario 'kebetulan' dari tangan Tuhan membuatku tak kuasa tuk mengacuhkan tatapan nakalmu

laboratorium bahasa, toilet cowok dan kursi keramik lantai 2 yang sama sekali gak elit menjadi awal cerita di kampus bahasaku

embel-embel freshman darimu sama sekali tak kuhiraukan

dan bahkan tentang kepercayaan hidup

tanpa rasional ku menikmati setiap langkahmu

kurasa inilah anugrah

aku takkan memasukkan kosakata dosa agar semua ini tak berakhir

tak apalah,

karena inilah inspirasi pagiku. . . :-)

SMOKING IS SHOULD PROHIBITED

            I agree with that statement. Why? Because smoking is one of the biggest causes of preventable disease and premature death. Smoking makes somebody addictive, because of nicotine which is found naturally in tobacco. I know, it can produce pleasant feelings that make the smoker want to smoke more and more. But, we have to know what kinds impacts of smoking. There are many impacts which are caused by smoking.

First, it causes cancer. As we know, and almost all people know that smoking can cause lung cancer. But, few of them know that smoking can cause many other kinds of cancer too, including cancer of the mouth, voice box (larynx), throat (pharynx), esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, stomach, and some leukemia’s. Statistics show that for those people who smoke at least two packets of cigarettes a day, one in seven of them will die because of lung cancer.

Second, it causes heart attack. One of the causes of heart attack is smoking. Smokers are twice as likely to die from heart attack as are non-smokers.

Third, it causes infant death syndrome. Studies show that possibility of infant mortality is 50 % higher when the mother smokes than in case of non-smoking mothers. The impact of smoking is that smoking will lead to sudden infant death syndrome.

Fourth, it causes impotence. The damage caused by smoking to male sexual health also includes: reduce volume of ejaculate, lowered sperm count and abnormal sperm shape.

Fifth, it spends much money. The prospect of health is a major reason for quitting, but there is other reason too. Smoking is expensive. And it needs costs for health, life insurance, and health care costs.

Silly act can endanger our health

                Last month, on August, I had a little accident in Pare. At that time, my friends and I were surrounding town square by bicycle. We did that because we were so confused with all of our activity and we just had six days before we went home, so we looked for something interesting.

                It was so fun. Each of us showed our biking style. There were many people looked at us. One of my friends was standing up on his bicycle. Then, I talked to my self, “Elok, you have to give a different style to them.” Suddenly, when I tried to make it, my foot was hurt because of my act. I wanted put my feet into the back of my bicycle. My foot got into the velg, and brakk !!! I fell down. Firstly, I didn’t shocked and I couldn’t cry because that wound was too hurts. That was a silly accident, even my friends laughed and they didn’t believe in me. But finally, I was ridden by my friend. They helped me and picked me up till in my boarding house.

                Three days later, my foot couldn’t move well and I decided to go home as soon as possible. When I was home, my mom and I went to the doctor to check up my foot. Actually, I got wrong massage and I let it without any treatment, so the wound was getting worse. I regretted why I did that silly act. My doctor told me and laughed at me that I was like a child. Because of that accident, I couldn’t went to Surabaya and absent from my class for one week. I promise to keep my act.

Teaching English as Foreign Language (TEFL)

The Direct Method

The Direct Method is similar to the Grammar-Translation Method, it have been applied by language teachers for many years. The goals of them is students learn how to communicate in the target language. In learning process, both teachers and students interaction each others and associate vocabularies, to be conveyed directly in the target language through the use of demonstration and visual aids, with no recourse to the students’ native language. There are some techniques: reading aloud; question and answer exercise; getting students to self-correct; conversation practice; fill-in-the-blank exercise; dictation; map drawing; and paragraph writing.

The Audio-Lingual Method

The Audio-Lingual Method drills students in the use of grammatical sentence patterns, has a strong theoretical base in linguistics and psychology. The way to acquire the sentence patterns of the target language was through conditioning-helping learners to respond correctly to stimuli through shaping and reinforcement. The goal is to enable students to communicate .The teacher uses only the target language and provides the students with cues. Mistakes are avoided. The teacher teach how to produce perfect sentences, so grammar and pronounciation are good. But the students are not creative. Dialog memorization, repetition, chain, transformation, and question-and-answer drills are techniques of ALM.

The Grammar Translation Method    

The Grammar-Translation Methods (GTM) is a technique that has been used by language teachers for many years. It was used for the purpose of helping students read and appreciate foreign language literature. There are some techniques of GTM : translation of a literary passage; reading comprehension questions; find antonyms and synonyms of reading passage; cognates; deductive and inductive application of rule; fill-in-the-blanks with new vocabulary and grammar; use of new vocabularies in sentences; and composition. These ways will make students become more accustomed to the grammar and vocabularies, so it will help them speak and write their native language better.

Community Language Learning

Community Language Learning advises teachers to consider their students as ‘whole persons’. Adults often feel threatened with a new learning situation so CLL helps them overcome their negative feelings and turn them into positive energy to further their learning by understanding students’ fears and being sensitive to them. The teacher understands what the student say. The goal is to learn how to use the target language communicatively. The techniques are tape recording student conversation, transcription, reflection on experience, reflective listening, human computer ,and small group tasks.  These techniques depend on consistent with sustaining a respectful, non-defensive relationship between teacher and students. 

Total Physical Response 

TPR is methods that can make students enjoy their experience in learning to communicate in a target language. Creating a low affective filter and a good classroom atmosphere are keys to develop flexibility students in understanding of target language. Teachers speaking and the students responding nonverbally. Spoken language should be emphasized over written language. Firstly, it introduced in the students native’s language, after that, meaning made clear through body movements. Errors are occurring, and the teachers should tolerant because students get more advanced of it. Some techniques are: using commands to direct behavior, role reversal, and action sequence.

what's love ?

Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment to an object such as God, thing, person, animal, etc. In the other hand, love is what we do to an object as the attraction of self-sacrifice, empathy, interest, tenderness, obedient, and be willing to do everything what the object want. It has three different components: intimacy, commitment, and passion

Love is irrational, sincere, unconditional, and indefinite. Many people die because of love. They said that love is blind. They do anything to make it real, even bring them to a melancholy  and feel unhappy. Whatever they thought , actually, true love is love that makes our life much brighter.

love is what we pay

The Rain

It’s rather disturbing

Cloudy

Makes everything so dark

Inside and out side

There’s no use of light

Empty but crowded

Rain

Makes somebody in the rain has two kinds of feeling

What are those?

Upset because she is wet

But satisfied

Why?

Because in the rain she can cry loud

And nobody won’t see her

tears makes her eyes is wet

tears makes her cheek wet too

so that the rain

crying

so that her problem is gone

with the tears

drop to her cheek

with the rain

gone by the wind

so clear after

so bright then

and the heart open

ready to fly

get a new tomorrow

Rain

After

Wet

But it can help

And makes content

Happier

More satisfy

Lovely
