Hello everyone! Today's topic is about unforgettable moments in life. Right now, I'm going to tell you about my friend's unforgettable moment. I'm going to start by introducing her. Her name is Qinthara, she is currently 15 years old. She is my classmate, and recently, she just told me about her unforgettable experience in her life.
It was when she was 7 years old or at first grade, roughly 10 years ago, that this unforgettable experience happened to her. She was at school when suddenly her mother called to school to pick her up. She was upset that she had to go home early and she didn't want to go home. Then, her mom came and picked her up. She was really mad at her mom, she didn't want to go home yet, she was stubborn to stay at school, but eventually, she obeyed her mom.
But they didn't go home, instead they went to the hospital. At that moment, Qinthara was confused of what place that was and why did her mom brought her there. Then, she saw her father laying in a hospital bed with his eyes shut. She asked her mom, "Why is Daddy sleeping? Why is Daddy not waking up?" She didn't understand anything about what was happening to her dad, she just stood there asking why he wasn't waking up. Then her mom told her that her father died. At that point, she still didn't understand what does die means and what was happening to her dad.
A few days later, she went to her father's funeral, but she still didn't understand what place it was and what was her purpose of going there. Until when her father was put inside a coffin, and the coffin was put underground, not knowing what was happening, she told her mom that she wanted to accompany her father to the undergrounds. And that's all she could remember about her unforgettable moment; her father's death.
Apparently, her father died because of lung cancer, she said that her father had lung cancer since quite a while, but was just diagnosed when his cancer stadium was high, and it was too late to save him. It was because her father smokes cigarettes and had an unhealthy lifestyle, she said. And that's all about her unforgettable moment.
Well, I can't tell anything else, that's all about my friend's unforgettable experience. Thanks for visiting and see you in another post!

Place I Would Like To Visit
Today is 21st of September 2016. I have nothing to talk about yet because nothing significant really happened the past few days soo I'm going to talk about the place I would like to visit.
I'm going to start by explaining about the place I would like to visit, as it is not literally an actual place, instead an imaginary place that I have in my mind. A kind of concept or an idea that I might have got the inspiration from somewhere.
However, I don't like the kind of futuristic city that is shown in the picture below. A city full of skyscrapers, crowded with buildings with no touch of nature at all. It looks futuristic with all the buildings and skyscrapers but it looks really messy. For me, these kind of examples of futuristic city doesn't look appealing. Because my idea of futuristic city should have a balanced ratio of advanced technology and nature, somewhat nature friendly technologies and buildings.
I'm going to start by explaining about the place I would like to visit, as it is not literally an actual place, instead an imaginary place that I have in my mind. A kind of concept or an idea that I might have got the inspiration from somewhere.
The place that I would like to visit has the idea of Future. It looks futuristic, smells futuristic, sounds futuristic and feels futuristic (and tastes futuristic as well). Every single thing that is futuristic, advanced and just future in general. Something that looks like the below. A city with flying cars, advanced technology, automated technology and all kinds of futuristic objects.
Let's start with how did I get my inspiration. Well, I wouldn't say that I have an actual inspiration. It all came from the movies I see which takes place in the future. Some of them which I remember is Elysium and Tomorrowland. But those aren't my real inspiration. My inspiration however come from pictures that I look from google or some youtube videos. I couldn't remember what really influenced me to want to visit these kind of places. It sort of just popped in my mind of how would the earth look like in the far future and how would civilization be, and of course my idea of future place is quite mainstream as for most of ideas of future place looks like these, so I kind of just, go with the flow. And that's about it for where I got my inspiration from.
Alright lets get to describing what kind of futuristic place I'd want to visit to. Starting from my house, I want everything to be automated, instant and simple. A house which would have automated doors, instant food producing machine, an artificial-intelligence butler (robot butler), and all kinds of advanced technologies in it. My dream objects would be a jetpack, an actual hover board, flying cars, teleportation device, (Why would I want jetpacks and flying cars when I have a teleportation device? Well why not.) and a healing pod that cures all diseases as you get inside it (the one like in the movie Elyisium).
However, I don't like the kind of futuristic city that is shown in the picture below. A city full of skyscrapers, crowded with buildings with no touch of nature at all. It looks futuristic with all the buildings and skyscrapers but it looks really messy. For me, these kind of examples of futuristic city doesn't look appealing. Because my idea of futuristic city should have a balanced ratio of advanced technology and nature, somewhat nature friendly technologies and buildings.
Now this picture below, is the kind of futuristic city I would like to visit. Those with advanced building and technology with a touch of nature in it. It would still look green, nature friendly and fresh to live at. Unlike the picture before, this is much more free, non polluted, and much nicer to look at as well.
So what do you guys think? I mean, imagine the possibility of the things you can do with all of the instant and advanced technologies. A lot. Starting with simple things such as quick food, quick transportation/teleportation, SO THAT WE WONT BE LATE TO SCHOOL. And what if we have the technology to manipulate time? Sounds impossible but imagine the possibility! We don't have to rush our home works, and we don't need to wake up too early for school. Just wake up 5 minutes before school, stop time, prepare and continue when we already got to school. Boom.
And of course, aside of its disadvantages, and all the things that could happen when we get lazy because of technology, those things can destroy humanity. But hey, this is just some idea or concept that I have in my mind about the place that I would like to visit.
That is probably all about the place I would like to visit. I have (again) run out of ideas for my topic because I am really sleepy. But anyways yeah, that's the kind of place I would like to visit. What about yours? The comment section is always ready to hear your thoughts.
That's all for today, thanks for stopping by and see you in another post!

MEGANTARA 2016
Hello there! I'm back again, and its Monday, 12 of September, 2016. Today, I'm going to talk about Megantara 2016, about its events, what I did there and everything about it.
Lets start from "What is Megantara"? Well. Megantara is an Art, Literature and Culture Festival held by SMAN 3 Bandung Annually since 2014, and in this year it was held on 10th of September. Each year, this Art, Literature, and Culture Festival has different names. The first one at 2014 was named Matswapati, the second one at 2015 was Gamarvani and the 3rd one, which was this year, named Megantara. Megantara itself came from the Sanskerta language and formed from 2 words, Mega and Gantari, which means that Nusantara is a majestic light. The idea was, by holding this event, we hope that we were able to conserve Indonesian culture, by making stands where people come to the stands to learn how to do cultural games, cultural performances, fashion shows that exhibit traditional clothes and cultural parade.
Now I'm going to tell you about my experience as a committee of Megantara 2016. It was at the Trinexia, or the extracurricular demo, that OSIS was introduced. We were told to close our eyes and raise our hand if we want to join OSIS. Apparently, those who raised their hands got a rubber bracelet, as a free ticket to joining the Megantara committee. I was really happy, it was my first month in SMAN 3 and I already joined a committee of a big event. And so, I registered to my senior with that bracelet and picked the Logistics Division, because most of my friends went to that division as well.
The next week, we had a plenum, discussing about the event. The plenum was at the end of July, roughly about 1 month before the event itself. We were then told where the venue was, when the event will be held and etc. And when the plenum finished, the 32019, who had just joined the committee were gathered and told that we had to ask for door-to-door donations to some people. My first thought when I was given this task was, "No. I'm going to resign from this committee because this is going to take my time for home works and stuff and its going to be hard." But, I didn't actually resign and waited for my first week to do the door-to-door donation. We were divided into groups, and I eventually got one. I've made new friends from joining the group, which are now my close friends, and to think I just knew them 1 month ago blew my mind.
Oh yeah, I forgot to explain, door-to-door is an activity where we come to people's houses, usually a parent from SMAN 3 students, to ask for donations for the event. Each of the group had 5 parents that the group members need to visit.
We all grew closer as we did our door-to-door donations together, we decided to go every week at Sunday. And at second thought, it wasn't that bad and it was fun instead. And so, time flies and our job was done. 3 weeks of door-to-door donations and we've gather about 5 million rupiahs from our goal of 6 million rupiahs.
It was then about 2-3 weeks before the event, we were divided again to groups of subdivisions. I got the event subdivision where I will be responsible for the event's equipment and needs on the D-day. 4 members of my door-to-door group joined the same subdivision but 1 of us joined another, but it was no big difference really, we all ended up doing the same job after all. And 1 week before the event, we were gathered again and were divided into groups of 5 where we had to buy some of the things that were needed in the event. Sadly, me and my original door-to-door group got separated, but no worries, again, we all ended up doing the same job after all.
As the D-day getting closer and closer, we all grew nervous if anything bad would happen on the D-day. And so, D-1, all of the committees including the logistics were dispended from school. We were all gathered in Lapangan Bali, the venue of the event to help the Decoration division do their job, and we went with pick-up trucks to SMAN 3 and back to pick up some of the event's equipment, that, was the fun part of logistics. We all helped the stands, the tables, and the decorations for the stage etc, and we went to rest at 8 o'clock where I slept in one of my friend's place.
The next morning was the D-day. We arrived at 6 o'clock which was a little bit late, and we used the pick-up trucks to get some of the event's equipment again. Riding at the back of the pick-up trucks were the fun part of logistics, I couldn't find any better thing to do than to ride on the back of the truck enjoy the wind and just have fun really. And right about 11 o'clock, the event started. There weren't much visitors at the afternoon since we've just opened the gate, but there are still some performances on the afternoon that were really nice as well.
It was at 4 o'clock where people all came. The queue was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly long. I exaggerated the 'really' because it was actually really long, from the Lapangan Bali entrance to the Balai Bahasa building. I was really happy that many people came, showing a sign that this event is going to be a success.
And I was right. It was a success, a major success, they say, that this is the biggest SMAN 3 event ever held. I also heard that EIGHT THOUSAND people came to the event. Probably because we had The Changchuters and RAN as our guest stars. Here's a photo which shows the crowd.
Yeah, its REALLY crowded, I wouldn't even want to be in there. Luckily logistics had a free pass to the backstage and we can basically watch the guest stars from exactly in front of the stage. Which was a major advantage. But don't forget, committee's work were really tough as well, as a logistics especially. We went to go everywhere to get the equipment we need and as a result, we couldn't fully enjoy the show. And there was this one time where I went to SMAN 3 to take a picture with Nino RAN, how great is that?
Yeah our faces look awful, and I was really tired that time. But hey! Got a nice picture with Nino, from RAN, who wouldn't want that? Oh and that maroon shirt was the Megantara committee shirt. Felt really proud using it heehee. Oh yeah, if you don't know how I look like, I'm the one on the right lol.
The peak of the event was when The Changchuters came to the stage. Everyone screamed everyone jumped and just really... What word should I pick, umm chaotic. Chaotic in a good way. We all danced screamed and enjoy the show. However, I didn't take pictures with them although my friends did, which was a bummer.
As you can see, the crowd was just full. And I'm really proud that I'm a part of this event. A part of this committee, a part of this family. I cant describe in words how happy I am that I'm a part of all this.
And after that, RAN came in. This was where the girls goes wild. they were really just wild. Screaming on top of their lungs, especially when RAN tosses stuff to the audiences.
And then the event finished at 9.00 o'clock. A major success. A blast. A chaotic night. A ridiculously awesome night. And many other words that could have describe the night which outran my vocabulary that I can't explain by words. The point is, that the event was a SUCCESS. We all went home afterwards, not doing my job as a logistic, I should've cleaned up the place, but I didn't teehee. I was really tired, when I went to my car, my body instantly shut down.
Big thanks to all my friends, all my seniors who had pushed me and guide me to be a good (probably) logistic member. And my parents of course, without their permission I wouldn't even be there. And yeah. That's all. Oh yeah one more thing, thanks to all the Logistics family, I've made a lot of new friends, knew new seniors, and learned a lot. Big thanks to our coordinator, Fadil Gania, and many other members that helped me and all of us to be a good logistic member. As a wrap for today's post, I'm going to scream the Logistics' yell-yell.
"LOGISTIK MEGANTARA! BELI BARANG SAMPAI MATI!" ("Megantara Logistics! Buy things till you die!" lol I know its kinda weird)
That's all of today, thanks for visiting, see you in another post!
P.S I'm sorry if I didn't go too much into the details of the event and probably skipped some things, I was really confused of what and which part was I going to describe so I probably missed some things. If you would like to correct me, the comment section is always ready for me to hear your thoughts. And again, thanks for visiting!
