Harry Potter: The Chosen One

Harry  James Potter was destined for greatness by the time he was born. Known as the only boy who lived after surviving a tremendous attack which had killed his parents from Lord Voldemort. It was not until in the age of 11 that Harry knew he was the one who was meant to defeat the wizard’s world most frightened enemy. However, the magic blood running through his veins had only left him stand still through all the tragedy and adversity caused by the following formidable fights with Voldemort, who never stopped trying to kill Harry. During his first years at Hogwarts, Harry outdid Professor Quirrel, Defense to Dark Magic teacher whose body was controlled by the Dark Lord to trap Harry. Chosen to Gryffindor, the so-called house where bravery and chivalry were praised for, Harry surprisingly was capable of communicating in Parseltongue, snake language for which the Slytherins were famous of. Thus, he finally unveiled the existence of the chamber of secrets which had never been exposed for decades. Harry then got the chance to face Voldemort personally right after using his blood as part of Voldemort’s resurrection potion, but nobody was killed in that duel on the Little Hangleton graveyard. Voldemort finally was killed by his own backfiring curse, after The Order of Phoenix, led by Dumbledore and then Harry Potter after Dumbledore’s death, succeeded in destroying all of his horcruxes where he split his soul into to become immortal. Harry’s courage and sacrifice to end the dark reign to save the ones he truly cared about laid him on the dignity from the wizard world and made him one of the most inspirational character people have ever heard of.

Defining Dance.

So everyone's been asking me how I got involved into these dance stuffs.

I dont know either. It just happened. I got to know more about dance by accident.

The accident that I am grateful of :)

Long time ago (maybe 5/6 years ago), there was an audition to become the cheerleaders members of my Junior High School cheers squad. I didnt pay any attention, I am telling you, AT ALL. Well, I had dance class at elementary school but that was all. Once elementary was over, this dance stuff was so. But at that jahiliyah moment (I refer to my JHS moments) I had best friend, Camilla (I simply call her Cumpi -and we're still best friends even in distance) and she was so famous (like, jeez, can u imagine. we were still freshmen, from elementary to junior high and she had already been known by the peeps there even by the 3rd grader, it was like she was the princess and I was the pauper....) by the fact that she loved dancing and the cheers members invited her to join the audition. Cumpi said okay, BUT, with the condition that me and some of my other friends join too. So......blablablablabla we were accepted and this journey began.

The more you do something, the more you know it. I learn by doing. I did not know what dance is at all that moment. But everything was like a fast movie, it flies so fast that finally I am here, experiencing my 7th year of dancing.

Later I knew, dancing is not only about moving your body. Dancing is way more beautiful than that. To dance is to express your soul, your feeling, your emotion, your love, your anger, everything. To dance is to really feel what is inside my mind. Like free-ing anything. I can be happy and sad at the same time. Dancing is to deliver something. Energy and passion. More than that, dancing is a tribute. To people, to art, to society. Dancing is a dedication. There aint no way you can dance without you being dedicated to something. That way, I always try my best at any dance I danced. Not to show people that I am a good dancer, no, not at all. Just to show them I appreciate them, by giving them the best entertainment I can give at my best. So they get something, my message, without me telling them but by my moves.

So dancing is pure to me. I'd rather not doing dance moves at all than dancing without preparation.

Because like I've told you, dancing is not just dance.



It is the love of my life, and I want to give my love the best I have.

Are You a Villain or a Hero?

Who is here, a big fan of Twilight Saga? Raise your hands. Well, I know I cant see your hands ryt now but let me tell you that I got an English assignment to analyze a VILLAIN! Nah, can you guess which character I've chosen?

Read this first :)

What do you think of when you hear the word villain? Our whole life, we have been told that the guys with black mask and unbearably harsh voice are always the bad ones. Now, growing up, we often realize that people’s appearance does not always match with their personality. Everyone can be a villain or a hero. But they were not born, they were created by the people around them, and maybe, their past.

Rosalie Hale, the beautiful blonde from The Twilight Saga, is one of those so-called villains. She came up so annoying on the movies. This adoptive daughter of The Cullen Family was formerly turned into a vampire in the age of 18 by Carlisle Cullen with the hope that she would be Edward’s soul mate. However, the two of them had never been more than siblings. Then, when Edward finally met Bella and fell in love with her, Rosalie appeared second after Edward to oppose Bella's desire to becoming a vampire. At first, nobody knows what that thing mattered to her but there was actually something behind it.

Rosalie was known as the young elegant woman during 1900s. Born to a rich and wealthy family, she enjoyed the constant praise she got from the people around her. The admiration then left her as a self-centered and materialistic girl. A man named Royce King II then showed an interest to her and soon the couple became engaged. Unlucky Rosalie, she later found out that Royce was not the perfect one. Being beaten, brutally gang-raped, and left to die in the streets, she then realized that her desire of living a fancy life in an expensive house and having children on her own remained a dream.

Awoken as a vampire, Rosalie found it hard to accept things, especially after having known Edward’s rejection toward her. Her anger was even worse. She was badly drunk in jealousy by the fact that Edward did not show the slightest interest to her, who had been admired by most men she had met, and could fall for Bella, a mere human, instead. The fact that human life only existed 18 years to Rosalie got herself sad. Ever since she knew that her body would be cold as ice and that she would live forever, far from she had been dreaming of. The illusion of her grand children playing around her just blinked away. That way, Bella should have appreciated her humanity rather than desiring to be a vampire which would never let her go through pregnancy.

Now, what lesson could we learn? People have past, whether it is good or not. Yet, we can not ignore the fact that the past they have been through can affect their whole life. In this case, Rosalie is just a victim of her bitter past. She did not have a choice. Even if she was given one, she would have chosen to die rather than to be a vampire. Bella had a choice whether to turn into a vampire or stay as a human. Yet, she chose to be a vampire, which according to Rosalie, was wrong at any prespectives. From this we find out that Rosalie had never wanted to have hostile feelings toward Bella. She was just upset that her life as a vampire stopped her from undergoing the normal changes of life and did not suit her to have children on her own. Her desire to be human was so strong that she would give up her immortality and beauty for it. The way people treat her influenced her as well. The compliments she received make her believe that beauty and perfection were the key to everything. Later when she realized, it was all too late.

We are who we grow up with. Sometimes we do not realize ho big a person's impact on our lives is. Rosalie was constantly being adored by people, so it is natural that she was irritated by Edward's ignorance. Human see things, get used to it, and then forget how it was before all got started. Finally, I agree with the opinion that Rosalie Hale is not a real villain. She chooses to be rude not because she was born rude, but because she knows how hurtful it is to not have her dreams reached and does not want anybody else feels so.

Moreover, we are all heroes in our own story.

Villains exist only if we see it from one point of view.

Future Me!

So guys I'm posting some more good contents since my previous posts were too ........ (I invite you to fill in the blanks) hihi. The following article was written by my partner in English Class, Ni Putu Octaviana (16714136).

I think I have told you several times before that I'm not that 'ambitious' person. I do not even have annual resolution, but I do have short-term targets. And this essay talks about my future plans, which contains my long-term targets that I seldom write about so ya, maybe it sound a bit dreamy to you or it has big a possibility to change in the other time (we never know).. But, indeed, these are the plans of how I want to be in the future that I could imagine of right now...

RULE NO. 1

Please just say 'aamin' right after you finish reading it :)

                A sophisticated girl called Bethari will be majoring in Industrial Engineering. Bethari excells at social subjects rather than the natural science which explains why she is skilled at communicating with other people. At first, she wanted to be a dentist, then she unexpectedly dreamt of meeting FTI’s dean. I guess that dream was a sign for Bethari to choose FTI ITB. Giving up her dream to become a dentist, she applied for FTI ITB.

                At 22, Bethari plans to graduate from ITB then she will share the knowledge she has acquired in university by joining Indonesia Mengajar. Indonesia Mengajar is a sosial act, usually conducted by young teacher for the one who needs. They will be sent into Eastern Indonesia area, especially the region where’s no school there.  Her interest sterns from a concern that most children in remote areas don’t get proper education which makes them can be easily fooled by some bad people  in their adult time. Their knowledge of outer world is limited, so they may not have a dream at all and they are already in despair. Therefore, they can’t develop the real talents they have, they just stuck without trying to be better.  From my thought, this situation is a big flaw of Indonesian ‘s education system which leads to a dark future. I’m sure Bethari’s contribution will change their future in to a good one. She has such a great personality, so Bethari will get the children's attention easily. Hopefully, the children will absorb the knowledge which they will be given by Bethari.

                After coming back from Indonesia Mengajar, she will pursue her Master’s degree overseas. Her English skill will be very helpful for her in making connections and conversations abroad. At 25, she plans to marry and has kid the following year. She plans to live abroad too, in a place where she can find a mountainlike scenery.  Bethari doesn’t want to be a staying-at-home houswife because her mom looked so stressed by not working anymore.  She will be working while taking care of her children. So she can watch what will her children are going to be. Later, in her old time, she will be living peacefully with her husband while watching her grandchildren. With things that Bethari has done, i’m positive she can reach her dreams. Hopefully all of her efforts will be paid in the end and she will be happy with her future.

I hope you know that not posting something here doesnt mean 2014 is just as flat as highway. It’s waaaaaayyyy too adventurous for me, I must say. So many ups and downs, tragedy and irony, tears of pain or joy, and so many other things I cant even mention one by one.

It’s new year though, I’m not gonna tell you about my resolution or something like that (I didnt even write one, to be honest hihi) but I just wanna welcome all of you here to once again, be involved, to my experiences.

For your info, today I’m no longer wear that white and grey costumes, I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT wohoooooo so you’ve gotta be ready to read that oh-so-whimpy minds of superwhimpy college student –plz come on you know what I mean..

I’m wishing you a great day today and dont forget to make everyday count. Salam super!

PS: sorry for that sok-cutie-library-photoshoot, just wanna provide you some recent photos of myself during this perantauan stuff (which shows me getting too much fat lately), hoping your eyes will still be okay after seeing that :p

One more PS: actually what makes me do this bloggy things again is this english subject (academic writing-WR) which requires me to put my essays here after being revised by the lecturer so from now on, in order to make everything easier, I’m gonna put labels ‘cherish english’ in each post containing my tasks for WR.
