"Weird Al" Yankovic - Word Crimes

My Current Music Feel.

1. Twenty One Pilots, this duo is honestly my favorite band of all time. Their albums, Blurryface and Vessel is also both really awesome, if you like hip hop then these guys are worth checking out.
2. I still like rap, so Eminem is still one of my favorite solo artists,
3. Suicide Squad: The Album, it has Eminem and Twenty One Pilots, what can I say? I'm a sucker for these kinds of music.
That's it, if anyone has recommendations for these kinds of music style don't be hesitant to tell me.

Mid Term Review: English

Indonesia Raids Google Offices

Hey, it's me back again with another task at hand, so this time I'll be writing about an article I read over at www.thejakartapost.com. The original article is linked up top as the heading and this will only be my thoughts and a short summary of it.

So, this article is about how the Google office in Jakarta is refusing a tax audit. The article says that Google itself has refused the tax audit, but has paid all applicable tax in Indonesia. There it also says that Indonesia's president is trying to make Internet companies pay more taxes in order to cover some loss.

From me, I suppose I can't really add any more to this, because I'm not really that knowledgeable in laws concerning taxes. But I do have to agree with the article of the fact that internet companies need to pay more tax, because their revenue is already so much, from ads. But, the ads do mostly advertise in-country companies such as Lazada, Tokopedia or other internet companies from Indonesia. This doesn't affect much of my opinion to Indonesia, it doesn't make me feel more akin towards it, or against it. But, it seems to show that the government might not be as friendly to outside internet companies than to other in-house companies. As far as I have looked around, the government also, don't seem to have any particularly specific laws for internet companies (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

But this, might show that Indonesia's companies will be more digital in the future since it seems like it's the way to go. This will also push Indonesia to a more digital era, and hopefully better help the people to be more modern. I, as a student, don't really know what to do, I the only thing I can do is to support local internet business in the hopes that in the future, we can be a more modern society.

notes; A tax audit is an examination of your tax return by the IRS to verify that your income and deductions are accurate. A tax audit is when the IRS decides to examine your tax return a little more closely and verify that your income and deductions are accurate.

Indonesia in 30 Years.

When I was a kid I used to think that in the future Indonesia will have flying cars, everyone will have super computers and the like, and now, my English teacher has given my class the assignment to make a blogpost on how you think Indonesia will be in 30 years.
Well, I don't think that there'll be any flying cars in the next thirty years, but I really do hope that by then we could have less traffic on the streets, because really, one hour to school to school is quite bothersome. Based on how Indonesia has been progressing, which isn't marvelous, but good enough, I would guess we would be on par at the very least with our brethren out in the good ol' Murica. Though, the logic would dictate that by then other countries would have already further develop so, it might be kind of the same otherwise.
I could see a bright future for Indonesia, where people can get the education necessary, where the government isn't a corrupt slave to money, or where the people isn't left on the streets, homeless and shelter-less.
Amin, and see ya soon folks

Research 1 : My Favorite God, Hephaestus

So, I've been looking around for articles and things like that to better my knowledge of Greek Mythology so it would be easier to impart knowledge on other people. I've always been fascinated and interested in myhology, whether it be Greek, Mayan, Egyptian or Roman, it has always been a fun topic to read about and write about, but I'm still not versed in mythology and still have a lot of ways to go.
So, first I read this article, http://www.talesbeyondbelief.com/myth-stories/hephaestus.htm about my favorite Greek God, Hephaestus. He is the god of the forge, fire and all around awesomeness. This article is really good at summing up a really long and complicated history into digestible bites to help others understand. So claps to talesbeyondbelief,com for it.
Next I just read about the whole myth and culture in a really good and easy to understand blog post from http://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/greek-mythology. It tells a lot about the whole history, not just the olympians but the heroes and the like, so recommended for anyone interested in the subject.
That's all for today, see ya.

Mind Map of my latest English Project : Greek Myths Etc.

So, basically this project of mine will be about me tackling a quite challenging task of making one of the most, in my opinion, complicated piece of culture history, understandable by mortal men.

TED=Trip

You guys know that recently I went on a big trip to Yogyakarta and Solo in Indonesia. There we did research and study about the river around those cities. After we got back to our school Kak Andy, our english teacher, tasked us with connecting our trip with some TED videos (I love TED by the way). I think what i got from these videos, is that you have to go after your goal, sometimes it seems bleak and difficult, but if you believe that what you are doing is benificial for you and others, you can do it.

I also learned many new, unique ways to use the river. I liked that they described that the experience and lessons you learn on your journey and the process might be more worthwhile than the goal at the end.

The Young Inventor

So, today was quite the day, I read a story for the 4th graders of my school, and they seemed pretty content with the story of The Young Inventor. I made this myself, and used art from Storybird's website. It was fun, though if I had to do it I would've been more enthusiastic. It was quite the experience and was different then just writing the story. That's about it, hopefully you all enjoy this story and see you later.

Perjalanan ke Kerabat

Ceritaku mulai dipagi hari Sabtu yang cerah. Aku melangkah keluar gerbang rumah ku dan mulai berjalan ke sebuah pangkalan ojek dekat rumahku. Aku naik ojek sampai Lucky Square, sebuah mal dekat rumahku. Dari sana aku berjalan ke tempat dimana angkot biasanya menunggu, akupun menaiki angkot dengan angka 08 dibelakangnya. Di dalam angkot aku memperhatikan banyak hal, pertama, setelah aku naik angkot tersebut itu tidak langsung pergi tapi menunggu pelanggan lain. Aku melihat sebuah kumpulan orang-orang yang ikut juga di angkot yang aku naiki, mereka banyak berbicara dengan satu sama lain dalam bahasa, yang aku asumsi adalah, Jawa. Setelah beberapa lama semakin banyak orang masuk dan akhirnya angkotnya berangkat. Setelah sebuah perjalanan yang cukup panjang aku turun di tempat yang aku asumsi adalah tempat yang benar. Aku diberitahu bahwa aku seharusnya naik angkot lagi, tapi aku tidak melihat angkot lain selain angkot dengan angka 08. Akhirnya aku mulai berjalan, mengira bahwa aku turun di tempat yang salah, setelah beberapa menit berjalan dan tidak melihat landmark yang di ceritakan ibuku aku menanya seorang satpam dari sana. Lalu aku berbalik ke arah tadi dan naik angkot Kalapa-Kolot dan turun di depan gang Jl. Denki, rumah saudara nenekku.

Sesampainya disana aku disapa oleh Nin Ati dan ia memperkenalkanku ke Ua Kiki. Aku pun mulai berbicara dengannya agar lebih tahu tentangnya. Aku akhirnya berhasil lebih tahu kehidupan 3 orang, Ua Kiki, Nin Ati, dan Nin Min. Nin Ati dan Nin Min adalah kakak-adik, dan mereka ternyata saat lebih muda suka sekali travelling dan kenangan Nin Min yang paling ia suka saat berpergian adalah saat di Belanda, ketika ia ke sebuah taman yang ada banyak bunganya. Nin Min dan Nin Ati adalah pensiunan, sementara Ua Kiki sekarang kerja di Descona. Ua Kiki saat kecil sering diajar berburu dan perbah menembaki ayam-ayam tetangganya dan dimarahi. Kitapun berbicara untuk satu jam penuh aku ditawari makan dan minum. Setelah makan aku izin pulang dan akupun pamit dengan Nin Ati dan lainnya.

Dalam perjalan pulang aku naik angkot yang sama saat datang, angkot 08. Saat sudah dekat Carrefour Kiaracondong supir angkot aku memberitahu bahwa angkot ini berhenti di Carrefour. Jadi, aku naik angkot yang ada di belakangnya. Lalu saat dibawah jalan layang dan macet supir angkot yang ini menyerah dan meminta aku cari angkot yang lain. Lalu aku ke depan macet dan naik angkot paling depan. Setelah itu aku naik angkot Antapani-Ciroyom dan ketika sampai di terminal angkot Antapani, aku berjalan sampai ke rumahku.

Kak Dodi...

Jadi, hari ini cukup menarik. Tadi kami bertemu dengan adiknya Kak Danti, Kak Dodi. Ia adalah seorang arsitek yang sudah berpetualang ke banyak tempat. Ia menjelaskan tentang apa yang telah ia dapat dari sebuah kampung yang tinggal di tepi sungai ciliwung. Ia mengetahui sekarang bahwa mungkin ada beberapa alasan yang bagus untuk mereka hidup di tepi sungai, walau sungai itu kotor dan mungkin membahayakan kesehatan. Mereka juga tidak hidup seadanya, mereka beradaptasi hidup di sana dengan membuat sebuah sistem di sungai dan berusaha hidup sebaiknya.
Beberapa alasan untuk mereka tinggal disana adalah, seperti tidak ada tempat untuk berpindah, atau mungkin dengan pindah hidup mereka lebih sulit, seperti sulit ditemukan sekolah atau kerja yang baru.
Jadi dari cerita Kak Dodi aku jadi tersadar bahwa mungkin mereka bukan orang-orang yang tidak bisa pindah tapi mereka memilih kehidupan ini karena memang pilihan terbaik untuk diri mereka dan untuk keluarga mereka.
