Happy 64th Birthday, BPK Penabur !


HAPPY 64th BIRTHDAY, BPK Penabur!

BPK Penabur is Christian educational institutions under the auspices of the GKI church. BPK first established after Netherland left Indonesia and handed their power to Indonesians. And now BPK has been developing so well. In Bandung there are 8 kindergartens(TKK 246, TKK 638, TKK Guntur, TKK Singgasana, TKK PIS, TKK Pasirkaliki, TKK KBP, TKK THI), 7 primary schools(SDK 1, SDK 5, SDK 6, SDK THI, SDK Singgasana, SDK PIS, SDK KBP), 6 Junior High Schools(SMPK 1, SMPK 4, SMPK 5, SMPK THI, SMPK PIS, SMPK Singgasana), and 5 senior high schools(SMAK 1, SMAK 2, SMAK 3, SMAK THI, SMF). And finally BPK has been established for 64 years.

for more information about BPK Penabur, click this link.

This afternoon, all of students-especially grade 9th until 12th-from all BPK's schools in Bandung celebrated 64th birthday of BPK together at Sabuga.

*please ignore and pardon the end of the video*

We should go to Sabuga not only to celebrate but also to watch musical drama. The musical drama is played by all of BPK Bandung's students from kindergarten until SHS's students. The musical drama is quite interesting in my opinion. The drama is about L-O-V-E at school between SHS's student and JHS's student hahaha. The idea of the drama is funny and good.

Almost students said "CIEEEE" when the guy(SHS's student) approached the girl(JHS's student) and said "TOLAK TOLAK TOLAK TOLAK" when the guy expressed love to the girl hahaha. Honestly, that moments were so funny hahaha. The idea of the drama is successful to make the audiences participate in the drama.

Btw, the main character of the drama which is the guy from SHS also celebrate his birthday today. Even though I don't recognize you, Happy birthday ko Andy ! :) God bless.

So, all the best wishes for BPK and hope BPK can be Christian educational institutions in God and also can produce successful graduates :)

Very happy I can enter BPK since I was in primary school until now I'm a JHS's student and I will continue my study in BPK again.

Good bless, BPK Penabur ! ;)

*I didn't take a lot of photos during the celebration :( I was only video the first time before the drama started and captured the end of the event.

end of the event

pardon our face HAHAHA

with my best friends ;*

IndONEsia


Hii guys ! What's up? Sorry for not updating this blog last week because lately I'm really busy with school and luckily I have holiday today. Grade 9th is really busy until I wanna die hahaha, JK !

Btw, congratulation for Mr. Joko Widodo who has been elected as the 7th president and also for Mr. Jusuf Kalla who has been elected as the 12th vice president of the period 2014-2019.

And also happy belated independence day, Indonesia! 69th years have been passed. A long struggle for our people to get freedom. And our freedom now isn't a gift :D


I'm very happy finally Mr. Jokowi and Mr. JK are the next leader of Indonesia. I really put my hope in both of you to fix Indonesia to be better because I know you are both very honest, humble and wise.

Mr, Jokowi is really a humble person. He is close with  people and also he always goes to the field to see what happens. He is also an honest leader. I'm really in love with you, Mr. Joko Widodo. <3
These are his awards and honours (source: wikipedia) :
2008: Jokowi was listed by Tempo as one of the 'Top 10 Indonesian Mayors of 2008'.
2011: He was awarded the Bintang Jasa Utama by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
2012: Jokowi received 3rd place of the 2012 World Mayor Prize for "transforming a crime-ridden city into a regional center for art and culture and an attractive city to tourists. He was listed as one of "The Leading Global Thinkers of 2013" in Foreign Policy. In February 2013 he was nominated as the global mayor of the month by the The City Mayors Foundation based in London.
2014: Jokowi was listed by Fortune as one of the 'The World's 50 Greatest Leaders'

Mr. JK isn't much different from Mr. Jokowi. He is also an honest and humble. He is experienced enough to lead. I'm also in love with you, Mr. JK ! <3 huehehe


Honestly, this year election was very creepy. It was very different with the previous years. In the previous years, quick count in every channels/parties were the same, But this year, the quick count was different. In channel A, the first candidates was the winner, and in channel B was otherwise.

*Mr. Joko and Mr. Jusuf were the 2nd candidates*

After election commission announced Mr. Jokowi and Mr. JK the winner, the first candidates was like angry and filed a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court. I was very scared a riot-like May 1998-would happen again this year.

Constitutional Court also announced Mr. Jokowi and Mr. JK are the winner and the first candidate accept it gracefully. Please, first candidates don't make any riots or something like that because I know you are both-and also your party-mature enough to accept and face the reality. Please don't act like a kid.

All people hope the best for the new government. Indonesian society want Indonesia to be a develop country like another develop countries in the world. Indonesia has a lot of smart people but they are taken by another countries. Another countries make Indonesia's smart people work for them. Indonesia still has a lot of natural resources which can be developed. And another resources can be developed.

In Indonesia, there are still a lot of racism because of different religion, race, etc. Guys, please realized we are ONE. Inside the word "Indonesia", there is "ONE". Stop racism ! When will we go forward if we continue to be racist?

Watch this very good video ;

The video is in Bahasa


Have a nice day. guys ! :) God Bless !

Abduction Movie

Hi guys ! What's up?

So tonight I wanna make a review of a mystery and suspense film. The title is "Abduction".

“Trust needs to be earned.”
Nathan (Taylor Lautner)

Synopsis : Nathan, a teen, along with his friend, Karen, finds a website that has photos of children who are missing or believed to have been abducted. They decide to age one of the photos and discover that it is of Nathan as a child. He contacts the person who placed the photo to find out what's going on. The person on the other end only wants to know info about Nathan, so Nathan hangs up. That person then contacts someone in Europe and shows him a photo of the one who called. He then heads for the U.S. Nathan then wonders if it's true he was abducted. He tells his "mom" who then tells him she and his "father" will tell him. But before they can, two men claiming to be cops show up wanting to talk to Nathan, and when he isn't found they pull guns and demand Nathan be given to them. His parents fight them but are killed. Nathan runs but remembers that he asked Karen to come over and one of them tries to get rough with her but Nathan saves her and they escape just as the house blows up. They go to... (written by rcs0411@yahoo.com)

This movie was directed by John Singleton and produced in 2011. It's staring Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins, Sigourney Weaver, Maria Bello, Jason Isaacs, Michael Nyqvist, and Alfred Molina.

Actually I didn't watch this movie in the cinema because when it was released on 2011, I was still 11 y.o and still liked watching kid's movies lol. And this movie was played 2 days ago in private television channel.

This movie is really awesome and also enjoyable ! But in my opinion, in the end of the movie, it's like hasn't ended yet hahaha. You should watch this movie by yourself and make your own review.

And yeah, I recommend this movie to be watched by all of you ;D
I give 8/10 for the rating :D

Good night people ! ;)

A Piece of Positive Selfie

Hello guysss ! How's life ?

Connect with the title "A Piece of Positive Selfie", dk why I choose this title. Actually this title is for the task from my english course. I'm asked to make an essay and when I was having the course, the teacher also said to me to write this essay also in my blog because maybe it can make a positive effects for the readers lol hahaha

But I think, it depends on the readers. It can be positive effects if the readers take this thing positively. Ok let's move to the essay then ;

Nowadays, people are getting more and more selfie. We can see from our environment what happens with today’s generations. From a simple thing, example we always want to be the first and never think about others. Whereas out there, there are still a lot of poor people. Selfie here means ‘selfish”. The definition of selfish is thinking mainly of yourself and your own needs, not of others'.

People always focus on their selves and it happens because of jealously, envy, greed and hate. Because of those reasons, selfishness will fulfill our live. It can also happen because out of spite. We hold the grudge and will do everything to revenge even though it’s sinful.

If selfishness fulfills our life, we will be always thinking about our selves and we can’t control our emotion. We will become very sneaky and won’t think the effects to our environment. We can lose all of our friends. Because, who wants to have a selfish friend?

John Stern−Ottawa’s student− hatched a selfless cause for a selfie generation by posting his video when he gave food to homeless people in his neighborhood. He didn’t mean to get a praise because he posted the video. It was because he wanted to make positive effects for others. Guess what, the video got a lot of praises and inspires a lot of people to do the same thing, to help others.

We can handle our selfishness and make positive effects for others by a simple thing we can do around our environment. Example, in the month of fasting, we can share a sweet thing when breaking fasting. Also on social media you can also take a photo or video of what positive things you have done and post it. But remember, you do all of these things is not for praises, but to make positive effects to others.

We should try to care to others and there should no more selfishness in our life. Because selfishness is a bad behavior and no one likes selfish people. It’s true that it’s hard to remove selfishness from our life, but try to control our selfishness and make a good thing for positive selfie.


Have a nice day ! ;)

FG for BC (Bahasa Indonesia)

Hai semuanya ! Apa kabar?

Baik, mari kita pindah ke judul diatas. Apa itu "FG for BC"? Sebelum saya menjawabnya, tolong lihat gambar dibawah ini;

Apa yang kamu pikirkan tentang gambar ini?
sumber : kompas

FG for BC adalah Future Generations for Better Country(Generasi Masa Depan untuk Negara yang Lebih Baik). Kenapa saya memilih judul ini? Jadi, pagi ini saya pergi ke suatu tempat. Dan di dalam perjalan menuju tempat tersebut, di lampu lalu lintas, saya melihat seorang pengemis tapi pengemis ini adalah anak kecil yang berumur sekitar 2 atau 3 tahun.

Apa yang anda pikirkan jika anda melihat anak kecil menjadi seorang pengemis? Apakah anda merasa tidak peduli atau sebaliknya? 
Saya hanya berpikir,"Mengapa anak-anak harus sudah bekerja di jalanan di pagi hari sampai tengah malam?"

Saya memposting topik ini bukan untuk pujian atau apa, tapi topik ini tentang kemanusiaan, bukan begitu?

Jujur, saya sangat kasihan melihat anak kecil menjadi seorang pengemis. Mengapa mereka tidak pergi ke sekolah?

Mereka masih anak kecil and mereka harusnya berada di sekolah pada jam itu. Di sekolah mereka belajar, mereka mendapatkan lebih banyak ilmu, dll. Mereka harus mendapatkan ilmu untuk masa depannya, dan juga untuk masa depan negara.

Kadang-kadang, di Indonesia, bahkan saya mendengar dari berita bahwa orang tua-umumnya dari keluarga kurang mampu-menyuruh anak mereka untuk menjadi seorang pengemis di jalanan. 
Hey orang tua, mengapa bukan anda yang menjadi pengemis? Megapa harus anak anda dam anda hanya menunggu uangnya? Saya tahu beberapa orang tua tidak cukup berpendidikan dan uang yang di dapat dari menjadi seorang pengemis tidak cukup untuk kehidupan sehari-hari bahkan untuk membayar uang sekolah. Tapi beberapa orang tua malas untuk bekerja walaupun mereka berpendidikan. Sebenarnya, meskipun anda hanya lulusan SMA atau hanya SD, anda masih bisa mendapatkan pekerjaan yang bagus dan juga gaji yang cukup. Atau anda dapat membuat bisnis anda sendiri. Gunakan talenta anda untuk bekerja dan juga berdoa kepada Tuhan. Ya, sekarang ini semua barang sangat mahal, tapi orang tua tolong, pikirkan tentang masa depan anak-anak anda. Mereka harus memiliki pendidikan yang bagus untuk hidup mereka sehingga mereka bisa menjadi sukses. Indonesia membutuhkan anak-anak anda untuk membuat negara ini menjadi negara maju. Anak-anak anda adalah harapan Indonesia. Anak-anak anda lah yang akan membangun negara ini menjadi negara yang lebih baik.

Ngomong-ngomong, sejak di Indonesia sudah diimplementasikan pendidikan gratis di sekolah negeri untuk anak-anak yang tidak memiliki cukup uang, orang tua, anda bisa mendaftarkan anda anda ke sekolah negeri :) Tapi saya juga mendengar dari orang-orang, walaupun pendidikan tersebut gratis, orang tua masih harus membayar beberapa uang administrasi. Tapi setidaknya orang tua tidak perlu membayar terlalu banyak bukan?

Tapi saya juga mendengar anak kecil yang menjadi pengemis adalah korban dari penculikan. Dalang dari penculikan ini memaksa anak-anak bekerja untuk mereka. Anak-anak tidak diberikan fasilitas yang baik dan mereka memperlakukan anak-anak tersebut sangat buruk.

Dan untuk pemerintah, tolong perhatikan pengemis di jalanan, tua atau muda. Untuk pengemis dewasa, jika mereka tidak cukup berpendidikan, berikan mereka keterampilan di bidang apapun. Tapi untuk pengemis yang berpendidikan, sediakanlah lapangan kerja untuk mereka. Untuk pengemis yang sudah tua, kirim mereka ke panti jompo. Untuk pengemis yang masih muda, yang masih butuh bersekolah, daftarkan mereka untuk sekolah sehingga mereka lebih berpendidikan. Dan juga tolong tangkap dalang dibalik penculikan ini. Jadi, tidak ada lagi anak-anak yang dipaksa bekerja untuk mereka dan diperlakukan dengan buruk. Jadi, anak-anak bisa memiliki pendidikan yang baik dan menikmati waktu mereka.

Saya benar-benar menaruh kepercayaan saya di pemerintahan baru yang akan dimulai dari Agustus 2014 - Augustus 2019. Tidak hanya presidennya yang bagus, tapi juga presiden kita punya rencana yang bagus untuk negara ini. Cepat dalam berpikir, cepat dalam bertindak.
Dan untuk generasi masa depan, bersyukurlah jika anda bisa bersekolah. Jangan malas karena apa yang kamu dapat di sekolah sangat berharga untuk masa depan anda. Semua orang ini masa depan yang cemerlang, tidak ada orang yang mau masa depan yang suram. Jadi, yang rajin ya teman-teman !!

KAMU DIBUTUHKAN OLEH NEGARA INI, KAMU YANG AKAN MEMBANGUN NEGARA INI.

BANGUN, INDONESIA !

Sebenarnya artikel ini hanya pendapat saya, jadi itu terserah anda, setuju atau tidak. Tapi saya hanya berbagi apa yang saya pikirkan.

Semoga hari anda menyenangkan ! :)

FG for BC

Hii guys ! What's up?

Ok, so let's move to the title. What's "FG for BC"? Before I answer it, please see a picture bellow;

What do you think about this picture?
source : kompas

FG for BC is Future Generations for Better Country. Why do I choose this title? So, this morning I went to somewhere. And then on the way to the place, at traffic light, I saw a beggar but this beggar is a little kid which is around 2 or 3 years old.

What do you think if you look a little kid becomes a beggar? Do you feel don't care or otherwise? 
I just thought,"Why should kids already work on the road started in the morning until midnight?"

I post this topic isn't for a praise or what, but this topic is about humanity, isn't it?

To be honest, I feel sorry watching a little kid become a beggar. Why don't they go to school? 

They are still a little kid and they should be at school at that time. At school they will study and have more knowledge. This knowledge is important for their future and our country's future.

Sometimes, in Indonesia, even I hear from news that parents-commonly from poor family-ask their children to be a beggar on the road. 
Hey parents, why don't you who become a beggar? Why should be your child and you only wait for the money? I know that some of parents are uneducated enough and money from become a beggar isn't enough for everyday life even to pay school fee. But some parents are lazy to work though they are educated. Actually, even though you only graduate from high school or only from primary school, you still can get a good job and also good salary. Or you can make your own business. Use your talent to work and also pray to God. Yes, nowadays everything is so expensive, but please parents, think about your children's future. They should have a good education for their life so they can be successful. Indonesia needs your children to make this country become a develop country. Your children are Indonesia's hope. Your children who will build this country to be a better country.

Btw, since in Indonesia has been implemented free education in public schools for children who don't have enough money, parents, you can enroll your child to public school :) But I also hear from people, though the education is free, parents still need to pay some of the administrations' fee. But at least parents don't pay too much, right?

But I also hear that a child who becomes a beggar is a victim from kidnapping. The mastermind of this kidnapping forces the children to work for them. Children aren't given good facilities. They treat the children very badly.

And for government, please pays attention to beggars on the road, old or young. For adult beggars, if they are uneducated enough, give them a skill in any fields. But for the educated beggars, provide employment for them. For old beggars, send them to nursing home. For young beggars, who still need school, enroll them to school so they can more educated. And also please arrests mastermind behind the kidnapping. So, no more children are forced to work for them and treated badly. So, children can have a good education and enjoy their time.

And for this future generations, be grateful if you can study at school. Don't be lazy because what you get at school is really valuable for your future. Everyone want a bright future, no one wants a dark future. So be diligent, guys !!

YOU ARE NEEDED BY THIS COUNTRY, YOU ARE WHO WILL BUILD THIS COUNTRY.

WAKE UP, INDONESIA !

Actually this article is only an opinion, it's up to you, agree or disagree with my opinion. But I only share what I think.

Have a nice day ! :)
