INTERVIEW

Hello everyone! You've seen my latest post about Aspiration Day in my school, rite? Well, beside much performances from every art extracurricular and stand-up comedy competition, there is Obake House! YEAH. If you don't know what Obake House is, Obake is haunted house in Japanese. The crew is from cabaret extracurricular, TsT. Andddd my friend was one of the ghost in Obake House. So, this is my interview with my friend, Ihsan.

Me : "Hi Ihsan! I heard you're one of the ghost in Obake House in Aspiday. What ghost are you?"

Ihsan : "I became a girl ghost."

Me : "What was your feeling being a ghost?"

Ihsan : "It's fun scaring people. And I can 'modus' too."

Me : "Was it hard to make people scared?"

Ihsan : "It's hard at first of course but well I can make it."

Me : "How to scare them?"

Ihsan : "The first step is, sit on the corner floor sadly and suddenly look to the visitors."

Me : "Where did you sit?"

Ihsan : "It's unpredictable because the system is mobile. On the first day, I was always at the entrance. But, on the second day, I was in the end of the room one and the entrance of room two. Sometimes in the middle of room one."

Me : "What was the memorable moment of Obake for you?"

Ihsan : "There was a person who kicked me because scared, then there were two girls and one boy and the girls scared, so the boy pushed me to the wall.."

Me : "Whoa, I hoped the boy isn't a big one.... It's a great experience, Ihsan! Next time, I'm going to try the Obake House! Thanks a lot, Ihsan"

It's so exciting! I regretted I don't go to the Obake. So thanks to Ihsan to tell us his experience being a ghost. So many said that Obake is scary.. If they make one again, I'll try soon!

ASPIDAY

What is ASPIDAY? ASPIDAY is the short of Aspiration Day. Aspiration Day is an event of my school, SMA Negeri 3 Bandung. The event is organized by Student Parliament. We can give our opinion, critics, or even suggestions to our beloved school. Aspiday held on 5 May till 7 May. I took a part with being a documentalist on the first day. These are some photos:

Bandung Spot : Zoo

Hello everyone! I'm going to tell you my experience in kebun binatang or in English is zoo. When I was younger, I used to go to zoo with my relatives and rode a horse *sigh*. When I was around 2 or 3, I even  rode an elephant! Maybe I'm too scared now to do that thing...  Well, I just visited Kebun Binatang Bandung around 2 months ago, so this is my review that day..

I went to zoo with my bf on Sunday, 22nd of February 2015. We were tired of mall and there's nothing to watch that month, so we decided to went to a zoo. Unfortunately, we didn't bring camera so we couldn't take any photograph of the animals. We walk around the zoo, first, we looked around lions and tigers cage. Some were sleeping or eating, but well.. I saw a lion pooped :( I didn't want to watch it, but my bf looked excited tho. Then we saw mongooses and bats. Of course, the bats were sleeping....... Then we looked around stable. There were zebras and horses. And lucky me, there was an orangutan with his guard walk around to amuse the visitors. A lot of middle aged women seems scared and shrieked when they took a photo together with orangutan. The funny thing is, there was a woman who gave him money and he ate it :( I repeat, he ate it! :( 

Then we went to bird park, there was a tons of bird species there.. We saw owls, eagles, pelicans, parrots, cockatoos, peacock, and so on. We saw the primates too! We passed by the elephant ride and see a big elephant, when I was younger and shorter, elephant felt way bigger........ Then we walked again, and we looked various species of monkey. They were so lively and some was vicious... I saw some giraffe and camel too! Then, we went down near lake for boats but we just sat in front of the lake and chit-chating, resting under the trees. And then we continued our way to snakes aquarium, but the sad thing is, I couldn't see the hidden snake because I'm not tall enough :( then we went to crocodile's place. And we saw a crocodile ate a raw chicken.. It's scary.. Well there's a playground and flying fox but we didn't go there. We rather went to the last spot, where there were bears, lions, tapir outside. There's a cultural show too, but because we're starving, we left the zoo early. It's such a blast! 

Kebun Binatang Bandung is one of the famous recreation park in Bandung. It is located at Jl. Kebun Binatang No.6, Bandung near ITB. The land area is around 14ha. Open everyday from 7 am till 6 pm and the ticket price is Rp20.000,- for 3 years above. There are a lot function of zoo, that is recreation, for learning, to preserve the culture and the floras and faunas. You can bring your mat/rent it to have a picnic with your family! It's happy to see a family enjoying the view of the zoo while having a picnic... But well, in weekend is full of crowds.

That's my experience, well I can't describe the animal one by one, but I'm so happy to see a view that I rarely see. Actually there are photos of me with orangutan and parrot but.... yeah not for public consumption. wkwk. But there is a photo of me with a peacock!

Song : Heal The World

Heal The World by Michael Jackson.

This post dedicated for our beloved world to remind people the humanity needs in this life.

"Heal the World" is a song from Michael Jackson's hit album, Dangerous, released in 1991. The music video (directed by Joe Pytka) features children living in countries suffering from unrest, especially Burundi. It is also one of only a handful of Michael Jackson's videos not to feature Jackson himself, the others being "Cry", "HIStory" and "Man in the Mirror". (The clips for "HIStory" and "Man in the Mirror" only feature Michael Jackson in archival footage). The version of the video included on Dangerous: The Short Films and Michael Jackson's Vision contains an introductory video that features a speech from Jackson taken from the special "spoken word" version of the track. This version was not included on Video Greatest Hits – HIStory featuring the music video. Jackson performed the song in the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show with a 35,000 person flash card performance.
In a 2001 Internet chat with fans, Jackson said "Heal the World" is the song he was most proud to have created. He also created the Heal the World Foundation, a charitable organization which was designed to improve the lives of children. The organization was also meant to teach children how to help others. This concept of 'betterment for all' would become a centerpiece for the Dangerous World Tour. In the documentary Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson said he created the song in his "Giving Tree" at Neverland Ranch.
An ensemble performance of "We Are the World" and "Heal the World" closed Jackson's memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on July 7, 2009. The song was performed as rehearsed by Jackson at the venue just weeks earlier, in preparation for his planned "This Is It" concerts in London along with "Dirty Diana". R&B singer Ciara sang the song as a tribute to Jackson at the 2009 BET Awards.
The song was played at the funeral of James Bulger^, and Jackson also donated the song to be used as the anthem for the charity the James Bulger Red Balloon Center, a school for children to go to if they are being bullied or have learning difficulties.

This song is very inspirational. People need to have more respect to other people, their surroundings, to our world. We have to help our friends who are on difficulties. We need to stand side by side so the world will be a better place for us, for our next generation.

S L O T H

Do you know what is the animal in the picture? It is a sloth. It's not one of the seven deadly sin which means laziness. But the sloth animal which is slow-moving. Sloth isn't lazy, but its slow movement that make it's named sloth.

Sloths are medium-sized mammals belonging to the families Megalonychidae (two-toed sloth) and Bradypodidae (three-toed sloth), classified into six species. They are part of the order Pilosa and are therefore related to anteaters, which sport a similar set of specialized claws. Extant sloths are arboreal (tree-dwelling) residents of the jungles of Central and South America, and are known for being slow-moving, and hence named "sloths". Extinct sloth species include a few species of aquatic sloths and many ground sloths, some of which attained the size of elephants.The sloth's taxonomic suborder is Folivora, sometimes also called Phyllophaga (Owen, 1842) or Tardigrada (Latham and Davies, 1795). The first two names both mean "leaf-eaters"; derived from Latin and Greek, respectively. Names for the animals used by tribes in Ecuador include ritto, rit, and ridette, mostly forms of the word "sleep", "eat", and "dirty" from Tagaeri tribe of Huaorani.

Sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside-down from tree branches; they eat, sleep, mate, and give birth upside-down in the trees. They hold onto tree branches with strong, curved claws that are on each of their four feet. The sloth "walk" upside-down along tree branches. They only rarely venture to the ground and walk on the ground in an upright position. Sloths spend almost all of their lives in trees; they are arboreal. These mostly-quiet mammals live in the tropical rain forests of South and Central America. Sloths can swim well too. Male sloths are solitary, shy animals. Females sometimes congregate together. Sloths are nocturnal; they are most active at night and sleep all day. They sleep about 15 to 18 hours each day, hanging upside down.

Sloths have a thick brown (and slightly-greenish) fur coat. Sloths are about the size of a cat (roughly 2 feet = 61 cm long). They have a short, flat head, big eyes, a short snout, a short or non-existent tail, long legs, and tiny ears. Sturdy, curved claws are on each foot; they use these claws to hang from trees.Sloths are hunted by jaguars, harpy eagles, and people. A sloth's main forms of protection are its camouflage (greatly increased by the coating of algae growing on its fur) and its very slow movement; these adaptations make it virtually disappear in the rain forest canopy. Colonies of green algae encrusting their fur, both adding to the camouflage effect and providing some nutrients to the sloths, who lick the algae.

Sloths are plant-eaters who are more active at night; they eat leaves (including leaves from the cecropia tree), tender young shoots, and fruit; they are herbivores (plant-eaters). It used to be thought that sloths ate mostly cecropia leaves because they were often spotted in cecropia trees. It turns out that they also live in many other trees, but aren't spotted there as easily as in cecropia trees.
Sloths have a low metabolic rate and a low body temperature (91°F). This keeps their food and water needs to a minimum. Sloths have small molars which they use to chew up their leafy food. Their stomach has many separate compartments that are used to digest the tough cellulose (a component of plant material that they eat). Adult females produce a single baby each year. They give birth upside down hanging from a tree branch. Sloths may live 10-20 years in the wild. 

Did you know that Sid from Ice Age is a sloth? Yes, it's ridiculously true! Sid is an ancient sloth!

Sloths are members of the superorder Xenarthra, a group of mammals that appeared in South America about 60 million years ago (Mya), although at least one source puts the date at which sloths and related animals broke off from other placental mammals at about 100 Mya. Also included among the Xenarthra are anteaters and armadillos. The earliest xenarthrans were arboreal herbivores with sturdy spines, fused pelvises, stubby teeth, and small brains.
The living sloths belong to one of two families, known as the Megalonychidae ("two-toed" sloths) and the Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths). All living sloths have in fact three toes; the "two-toed" sloths, however, have only two fingers. Two-toed sloths are generally faster-moving than three-toed sloths. Both types tend to occupy the same forests; in most areas, one species of three-toed sloth and one species of the larger two-toed type will jointly predominate.
However, their adaptations belie the actual relationships of the living sloth genera, which are more distant from each other than their outward similarity suggests. The common ancestor of the two genera apparently lived 35–40 Mya, making the living forms stunning examples of convergent or parallel evolution. The two-toed sloths of today are far more closely related to one particular group of ground sloths than to the living three-toed sloths. Whether these ground-dwelling Megalonychidae were descended from tree-climbing ancestors or whether the two-toed sloths are really miniature ground sloths converted (or reverted) to arboreal life cannot presently be determined to satisfaction. The latter possibility seems slightly more likely, because the small ground sloths Acratocnus and Neocnus, which were also able to climb, are among the closer relatives of the two-toed sloths, and these together were related to the huge ground sloths Megalonyx and Megalocnus.
The evolutionary history of the three-toed sloths is not well known. No particularly close relatives, ground-dwelling or not, have yet been identified. The ground sloths do not constitute a monophyletic group. Rather, they make up a number of lineages, and as far as is known, until the Holocene, most sloths were in fact ground-dwellers. The famous Megatherium, for example, belonged to a lineage of ground sloths that was not very close to the living sloths and their ground-living relatives, like the small Neocnus or the massive Megalonyx. Meanwhile, Mylodon, among the last ground sloths to disappear, was only very distantly related to either of these.

   

Sloths belong to the:

·         Kingdom Animalia (the animals)

·         Phylum Chordata

·         Subphylum Vertebrata (animals with backbones)

·         Class Mammalia (warm-blooded animals with fur and mammary glands)

·         Order Xenarthra

·         Suborder Pilosa

o   Family Bradypodidae

§  Genus Bradypus - Three-toed Sloths

·         Species torquatus (the maned sloth)

·         Species tridactylus (the Three-toed Sloth has three toes (and claws) on the front and hind legs

·         Species variegatus

o   Family Megalonychidae

§  Genus Choloepus - Two-toed Sloths

·         Species hoffmanni (Hoffman's Sloth, a two-toed sloth: it has two toes (and claws) on the front legs; the hind legs have three toes (and claws)

·         Species didactylus (Linne's Two-Toed Sloth)

In Costa Rica, the Aviarios Sloth Sanctuary cares for "wounded and abandoned sloths. About 130 animals have been released back into the wild."

That's the things about sloth. This page is dedicated to this slow yet adorable animal. Enjoy :)

DEWA ATHENA VII

Last Saturday, there was a sport olympic on my school. The name is DEWA ATHENA VII. It's the 7th year of DEWA ATHENA on my school, it held every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. So, this event will be around 2 months. Last Saturday was the opening of DEWA ATHENA VII. The opening were greetings from the head of the event and our Head of Student Council. Then our beloved headmaster, Pa Encang. After that, there was color run! We ran with the mascot who brought a torch and the sportwomen and sportmen leading us. I was the sportwoman from my class with Reza.

The route was from Bali field to Belitung street, then Saparua, then Bali streey. It was tiring because I can't run fast..... So I was late than other sportwomen and sportmen. Fortunately Fadhilla accompanied me. Thanks you omg. It's really fun! Then we selfied and took much photos in basketball field. Then the game started with football match between Liga BM all star and XI 3.

Well, our class played in relay race, tug of war, and girl mini soccer. Andddddd.............  We lose them all. But, I hope we can win in another time. Yeay. So these were our photos last Saturday.

POLAR STRATOSPHERIC CLOUD

Hi guys, in this post I would like to tell you about a natural phenomenon. And the phenomenon is polar stratospheric cloud.

Polar stratospheric clouds or PSCs, also known as nacreous clouds (from nacre, or mother of pearl, due to its iridescence), are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 meters (49,000–82,000 ft). They are best observed during civil twilight when the sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon. They are implicated in the formation of ozone holes. The effects on ozone depletion arise because they support chemical reactions that produce active chlorine which catalyzes ozone destruction, and also because they remove gaseous nitric acid, perturbing nitrogen and chlorine cycles in a way which increases ozone destruction.

The formation : The stratosphere is very dry; unlike the troposphere, it rarely allows clouds to form. In the extreme cold of the polar winter, however, stratospheric clouds of different types may form, which are classified according to their physical state and chemical composition. Due to their high altitude and the curvature of the surface of the Earth, these clouds will receive sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn or after dusk. PSCs form at very low temperatures, below −78 °C (−108 °F). These temperatures can occur in the lower stratosphere in polar winter. In the Antarctic, temperatures below −88 °C (−126 °F) frequently cause type II PSCs. Such low temperatures are rarer in the Arctic. In the Northern hemisphere, the generation of lee waves by mountains may locally cool the lower stratosphere and lead to the formation of PSCs. Forward-scattering of sunlight within the clouds produces a pearly-white appearance. Particles within the optically thin clouds cause colored Interference fringes by diffraction. The visibility of the colors may be enhanced with a polarising filter.

PSCs are classified into three types Ia, Ib and II according to their chemical composition which can be measured using LIDAR. The technique also determines the height and ambient temperature of the cloud.

Type I clouds contain water, nitric acid and/or sulfuric acid and they are a source of polar ozone depletion.
Type Ia clouds consist of large, aspherical particles, consisting of nitric acid trihydrate (NAT).
Type Ib clouds contain small, spherical particles (non-depolarising), of a liquid supercooled ternary solution (STS) of sulfuric acid, nitric acid and water.
Type Ic clouds consist of metastable water-rich nitric acid in a solid phase.
Type II clouds, which are very rarely observed in the Arctic, consist of water ice only.
Only Type II clouds are necessarily nacreous whereas Type I clouds can be iridescent under certain conditions, just as any other cloud.

Type I

Arctic stratospheric cloud

Type II

Beautiful, isn't it? That's why I chose this phenomenon for this task. Just imagine that above you there is a colorful cloud. Even more if you see it from a very high place. Sounds more like heaven to me. I wish I could see this phenomenon someday :)

ADVERTISEMENT

On my Tuesday English class yesterday, we had to do advertisement task. It's like we drew an advertisement to advertise something on a hvs paper.
And mine was an advertisement to advertise your advertisement. Lol.

So, if you guys want to publish your advertisement, you can call my agency 'SPACEAIR' via ME and I'll advertise your advertisement. Bang! The cost depends how big is your advertisement and where you want it to be published.
It's not really trusted because it's just a fake advertisement with some creativity by me. But, if you ask me to endorse your things on my instagram i will. And i won't reveal my real number but my instagram is mayalrst if you want teehee.
That's what i did on Tuesday English class, beside causation second test. I wish we can do some creative papers again someday. Thanks for readingg:)

HOLIDAY-YEAY

Holiday yeayy! Finally, after a long semester we got three weeks off! Bye school I won't miss you a second. Fortunately I didn't get any short semester which was a gift from God. Thanks God. So I kept the lesson books off of my eyes, cause I really needed a break after a rough semester. It was my first semester on senior high school but it felt so long and tireeeeeed which was sad.
Well, I spent the most of my holiday in my home. I didn't go to another city nor country because my family is sort of homey type,  but it's okay I could wake up on 10am. Then I surfed the Internet and read some riddles. Riddle's great though, it's like there are a story and it's strange and we have to think what's wrong or who's the murderer yeah some kind of it. It's mind blowing that's why i like them.
On the last Saturday on 2014, I went to Saparua jogging track to 'running'. I woke up early finally. But, actually I just ran the half of the track and ended up walking. Most of them just chit chatting with my bf tee hee. After 'running' we went to ciwalk and decided to watch a movie, it's still 10am so we stopped at J.co and bought j.cool. But guess what, buy two get one free. Alas, we ate three ice cream at once after burned some calories so... The day went so well after all.
So my new year, I got no resolution though, alas. I just hope 2015 goes well. My family didn't celebrate new year,  but we cooked a lot of food because the friends of my grandmother will came and I helped a little on afternoon and went to my room to play some games hehe. I like to be alone at home,I just didn't like people around..  Need some peace in life yo.
On the first Saturday on 2015, I went it with him. We went to bookstore, searched some books. Bookstore is my favorite place to go, I really like to see the stationary and stacked books. I don't mind if I have to go there again and again. Then we went to cafe at Bandung Indah Plaza and then looked up some import books on store named Books and Beyond. Just like every dates,  it went so well.
Well that's my fun part of my holiday, despite of watched dvds and went around some restaurant and cafe with friends. Oh, God the holiday went fast! I'm not ready for the busyness and hectic days of school.... Well I hope this semester goes better than yesterday. Cheer up!

Beauty and The Beast

A wealthy merchant lives in a mansion with his three daughters. They are all very beautiful, but the youngest daughter, twenty-year-old Belle, is pure of heart; the two eldest daughters, in contrast, are wicked and selfish, and secretly taunt and treat the kind-hearted Belle like a servant to them. The merchant eventually loses all of his wealth in a tempest at sea. He and his children are consequently forced to live in a small farmhouse and work for their living. After some years of this, the merchant hears that one of the trade ships he had sent off has arrived back in port, having escaped the destruction of its compatriots. He returns to the city to discover whether it contains anything valuable. Before leaving, he asks his daughters if they would like him to bring any gifts back for them. The oldest two ask for jewels and fine dresses, thinking that his wealth has returned. Belle is satisfied with the promise of a rose, as none grow in their part of the country. The merchant, to his dismay, finds that his ship's cargo has been seized to pay his debts, leaving him without money to buy his daughters their presents.

During his return, the merchant becomes lost in a forest. Seeking shelter, he enters a dazzling palace. A hidden figure opens the giant doors and silently invites him in. The merchant finds tables inside laden with food and drink, which seem to have been left for him by the palace's invisible owner. The merchant accepts this gift and spends the night there. The next morning as the merchant is about to leave, he sees a rose garden and recalls that Belle had desired a rose. Upon picking the loveliest rose he can find, the merchant is confronted by a hideous "Beast" which tells him that for taking his most precious possession after accepting his hospitality, the merchant must die. The merchant begs to be set free, arguing that he had only picked the rose as a gift for his youngest daughter. The Beast agrees to let him give the rose to Belle, but only if the merchant will return.

Beauty dines with the Beast in an illustration by Anne Anderson.

The merchant is upset, but accepts this condition. The Beast sends him on his way, with jewels and fine clothes for his daughters, and stresses that Belle must never know about his deal. The merchant, upon arriving home, tries to hide the secret from Belle, but she pries it from him and willingly goes to the Beast's castle. The Beast receives her graciously and informs her that she is now mistress of the castle, and he is her servant. He gives her lavish clothing and food and carries on lengthy conversations with her. Every night, the Beast asks Belle to marry him, only to be refused each time. After each refusal, Belle dreams of a handsome prince who pleads with her to answer why she keeps refusing him, to which she replies that she cannot marry the Beast because she loves him only as a friend. Belle does not make the connection between the handsome prince and the Beast and becomes convinced that the Beast is holding the prince captive somewhere in the castle. She searches and discovers multiple enchanted rooms, but never the prince from her dreams.

For several months, Belle lives a life of luxury at the Beast's palace, having every whim catered to by servants, with no end of riches to amuse her and an endless supply of exquisite finery to wear. Eventually she becomes homesick and begs the Beast to allow her to go see her family. He allows it on the condition that she return exactly a week later. Belle agrees to this and sets off for home with an enchanted mirror and ring. The mirror allows her to see what is going on back at the Beast's castle, and the ring allows her to return to the castle in an instant when turned three times around her finger. Her older sisters are surprised to find her well fed and dressed in finery. They are envious when they hear of her happy life at the castle, and, hearing that she must return to the Beast on a certain day, beg her to stay another day, even putting onion in their eyes to make it appear as though they are weeping. They hope that the Beast will be angry with Belle for breaking her promise and eat her alive. Belle's heart is moved by her sisters' false show of love, and she agrees to stay.

Illustration by Warwick Goble.

Belle begins to feel guilty about breaking her promise to the Beast and uses the mirror to see him back at the castle. She is horrified to discover that the Beast is lying half-dead from heartbreak near the rose bushes her father had stolen from and she immediately uses the ring to return to the Beast.

Belle weeps over the Beast, saying that she loves him. When her tears strike him, the Beast is transformed into the handsome prince from Belle's dreams. The Prince informs her that long ago a fairy turned him into a hideous beast after he refused to let her in from the rain, and that only by finding true love, despite his ugliness, could the curse be broken. He and Belle are married and they live happily ever after together.

Amazing Place

Hello, I'm going to tell you about an amazing place. There are so much amazing places on earth, which were made by human or nature. I really want to travel the world! One of my destinations is France. Some part of girls want to go to Paris, France because it's romantic and the first place they want to go is Eiffel Tower. But I don't. The first place on Paris, France I want to go is The Louvre Museum. So this is my research about The Louvre Museum :)



The Louvre or the Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre) is one of the world's largest museums and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, France, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (district). Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet). The Louvre is the world's most visited museum, and received more than 9.7 million visitors in 2012.
The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as a fortress in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection, including, from 1692, a collection of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. In 1692, the building was occupied by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres and the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, which in 1699 held the first of a series of salons. The Académie remained at the Louvre for 100 years. During the French Revolution, the National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum to display the nation's masterpieces.

The museum opened on 10 August 1793 with an exhibition of 537 paintings, the majority of the works being royal and confiscated church property. Because of structural problems with the building, the museum was closed in 1796 until 1801. The collection was increased under Napoleon and the museum renamed the Musée Napoléon. After the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, many works seized by his armies were returned to their original owners. The collection was further increased during the reigns of Louis XVIII and Charles X, and during the Second French Empire the museum gained 20,000 pieces. Holdings have grown steadily through donations and gifts since the Third Republic.
