How often do you cry just because of a movie? If you rarely cry or get touched by a movie, I suggest you to watch "Harmony" a Korean heart-touching movie. This movie is truly heart-melting. I know I am always easily touched by something but not often cry for anything. But this movie has made my heart melt. I love ; the secrets why these -fragile but strong inside-women get into the prison. They all come with their own stories that they just keep for themselves. Their tears, happiness, sorrows and love are locked in their deepest hearts. yup, Secrets make a woman a woman, quoted from 'Detective Conan'. how each inmate (the main characters) reveals her love to each other, how they take care and keep one another. Mutual problems can be such a strong bond! how they sing.... it makes me strongly realize that happiness doesn't depend on your circumstances but from your heart, the way you see life, so even in a prison you can still sing joyfully. to know the...

Once upon a time... One day, and they live happily ever after... Are you familiar with these expressions? Yeah, they are always found in narrative; fairy tale, fable, legend etc. the lady shepherd and her sheep During these couple weeks, we have been studying this topic in semester 5 English class. It's very interesting since everyone loves a happy ending story. But what makes it more interesting is that we can create our own story and express it in various ways such as comic, drama, video, story telling, etc. The first time thinking of narrative activity, I planed to make them watch a video, analyze the story and then ask my students to make their own narrative story in a video. Yet, everything changed under certain circumstances, and one of it was the simplicity. I thought narrative video would spend more time and energy for preparation while my students do not have plenty time after school as the class for semester 5 always finishes at 4.30 pm and they also have so man...

“Apa cita-citamu?”   “ Kalau sudah besar mau jadi apa? “ Pertanyaan-pertanyaan klasik seperti ini sudah tidak asing lagi bagi kita karena ini yang selalu kita dengar sejak kita kecil. Banyak orang ingin tahu kelak kita akan jadi apa atau apa yang menjadi impian kita. Uniknya, selalu ada jawaban yang bervariatif untuk pertanyaan ini. Jawaban itu adalah dokter, pilot, astronot, perawat, dokter gigi, dokter hewan, dan beberapa profesi terfavorit lainnya. Mengapa profesi-profesi ini menjadi begitu difavoritkan oleh anak-anak? Salah satu dari sekian banyak kemungkianan adalah karena anak-anak terinspirasi dari figur yang mereka lihat seperti ayah, ibu, atau saudara yang bergelut dengan profesi tersebut ataupun yang mereka nonton dari televisi dan akhirnya itu menjadi patokan untuk cita-cita mereka. Idola, inspirasi, semuanya berawal dari hal yang sederhana ini. Sama halnya dengan semua anak-anak lain, saya juga memiliki cerita tentang cita-cita masa kecil. Ketika masih ke...

Wall Magazine, a right place to express creatively. If there are questions about what we are doing on Sunday school, I can gladly share one of the programs we have, a Wall Magazine. We started this program 4 years ago with a purpose to post our Sunday school students' creativity. We wanted to appreciate our students' work by posting them here so that their parents could read or see what their kids have done after church. However, it is not as easy as we thought. The first two years everything was well-organized. Yet it was ignored in the third year. Now when it almost reaches the two ignorable years, K'Geesty , one of our Sunday school teachers decided to make it alive again. I should say a lot of thanks to God for giving her as our 'diesel machine' to drive us back to the first commitment. And here's what we have done to make our wall magazine live again.. :) Decorating; nailing, cutting, coloring, organizing........  What do we s...

Browsing, researching, finding information and reading...... these activities are what I've been doing recently. After getting a notification mail from NZ Embassy, I made a a commitment that I won't give up on applying the scholarship. Yeah, and seems like God also wants the same thing. Why? Because it seems like He opens more access by letting me meet people who are willing to help me. Moreover, I have got some necessary books to support my effort for the scholarship.. the first three books from miss Grace, Dessy and ma'am Lincia Miss Grace Harris, our ETA this year gave me a Thesaurus dictionary and a book on types of text to help me prepare my Fulbright master program's Essay. Ma'am Lincia gave me a book on how to prepare myself before studying in the US. She said that last year she gave the same book to miss Cece and she got the scholarship to study master of TESOL in Australia and this year she gave it to me so I have to prepare myself for the ...
