pacar baru kata orang

dia orang yang telah lama gue kenal. dia temen SMP gue. dia memang orang pertama yang gue kagumi. dia juga ketua kelas di kelas kami - kelas 1 SMP. dia pernah mau kenal dekat dengan gue, tapi sayang. karena waktu itu gw masih polos tanggung gimanaa gitu, so, gue cuek-cuek aja sma dia.
mulai naik kelas dua. gue gak satu lokal lagi dengan dia. seiring waktu bergulir, gue akhirnya paham, apa itu kagum, apa itu suka sama lawan jenis, dan ingin mendekati nya. gue denger dia dari temen-temen lain, dia deket dengan ini,itu, bla bla. memang, perasaan gak bisa dibohongi! entah kenapa dada gue ngerasa sesek denger cerita tentang dia yang demikian. apakah ini yang namanya cemburu? selama kelas dua SMP, gue gak ada interaksi tegur sapa sama dia. ada rasa malu, benci, marah, kecewa, sakit hati, dan menyesal. kelas dua memang diam.
berlanjut di kelas tiga, gue tetep gak selokal dengan dia. padahal udah berharap. di kelas tiga, gue baru ngerti banget and jelas banget apa itu cinta yang berujung pacaran. kelas tiga ini lah gue mulai mengembangkan sayap keberanian untuk menyapa nya. gue tau, gue salah sama dia walaupun itu gak jelas salahnya apaan. kami saling senyum-senyum, sapa-menyapa dan ngobrol pendek. gue seneng banget. ternyata gue salah menanggapi sikapnya.
bye SMP, waktunya beranjak ke putih abu-abu.
putih abu-abu memang berkesan.

- udah dulu ah,, ntar sambung lagi :)

            The type of this book is workbook for self-study as well as classroom learning. It is intended to all people that want to increase and be effective in presentation skills. The purpose of this eBook explain about how to build credibility and confidence as a speaker, to show how to use presentation technology to your advantage, to provide techniques for preparing and delivering a presentation well. I think the cover of this book not interesting because there is no picture and only group of word. That words state the title of the book, Effective Presentation Skills: A Practical Guide to Better Speaking, the name of author, Steve Mandel and some identities of book. However, about the content of the book is interesting and useful which are giving us some technique and some ways while presenting the material. That content is arranged in chapters.

The best contents of this book that make me enjoyable are in chapter 1, Assessing Your Skills and chapter 6, Delivering Your Presentation with Energy and Composure. In part 1 the author explains about preparing the confidence of the speaker before perform in presentation. We can evaluate ourselves with review checklist. It means we make some lists consist of items that can reduce our anxiety while performing. Moreover, Rob Stewart et al, (2010) states that identifying about what makes you feel anxious, such as lack experience, feeling different and feeling uneasy can help you to lessen your fear (p.31). In addition, Christopher Turk (2003) gives additional that in presentation we have to in natural posture and gestures. So, the first step in preparing presentation is we should identify the factors that lead us to anxious.

In presentation or public speaking we have to prepare what we need in perform. Dale Carnegie states “only the prepared speaker deserves to be confidence” (quoted in Arina Nikitina, p.34). Whenever our preparation is already been done the next step we must engage the audience. As a part of chapter 6, engaging your audience, I really agree about engaging the audience during presentation because the enthusiasm of the audience shows that they are understand about what we have presented. Lenny Laskowski (2010) states that proper audience analysis makes it possible for you to give the most effective, meaningful and memorable speech to your audience (p.65). So, in presentation, we are not only think about what we are saying, but also how we are saying it.

Sometimes there are many people not confident speak in front of audience especially in presentation context. This eBook explain about techniques, ways and suggestions to get effective presentation skills. This eBook also guide the reader to be better speaking. I think this method is good if apply in our department especially in speaking class. As I have experienced I have not confidence enough in presentation skills, like standing stiffly. After I read this eBook, I got some information that helpful in presentation skill. Thus, this method is good to apply in speaking class activity.

In conclusion, this eBook, Effective Presentation Skills: a practical guide to better speaking, explain about how to be a good presentation with gives techniques. That technique can increase our confidence to speak in front of audience during presentation until the end with doing preparation first. Actually it is helpful in our speaking skill too, for example we can apply for a job in a company which is should pass job interview or something like that, so that, we can do it fluently if we accustomed to speak well and self confidence. Because of that, I suggest that this technique is good applied in speaking class.

my funny story at senior high school

it was monday morning and i was still lying in my bed since the sun was not really up yet. to my surprise , when i checked the clock, it was already 6 AM! so i jumped out of the bed and got ready for school in a rush.
to avoid any traffic jams, my dad took me to school on his motocycle. but still, at one point we were caught in very heavy traffic, so my dad rode a bit slow. i noticed that people on other motorbikes were staring at me, grinning.
when i finally arrived at school, the first friend i saw pulled me aside and told me that i forgot to zip up my skirt! oh, god!
now i knew why those men on the bikes were smirking at me.
hhhhuuuffftttt,,, :D

the best champions :D

Heikki Kovalainen ruled in the 2008 World Championship! He slimed his way to the finish line on a 13-inch circular damp cloth track in three minutes and two second. of course, we're not talking about the Finish Formula One racer here. this Kovalainen is a common garden snail owned by 13-year-old Georgie Brown. Congham in the United Kingdom is where the World Snail Racing Championships take place, and every year, around 200 snails slug it out at the championships. The contestants start from the center of the track at the shout of  "Ready, steady, SLOW!" and trail to the finish line at the edge of the circular track.

my damaged handphone

Many people want to change their handphone with a new product handphone. There are many kinds and types of handphone. I have an old handphone. Its type is Nokia 1112.  It is monochrome type phone. It is not camera and music. That handphone is just for calling and sending messages. One day my aunt found a handphone on the street. She gave it to me because she can’t use it. It is black Sony Ericson E5310i. It is nice and good. However that is my new handphone. I love it.

My handphone is interesting. Its have many menu interesting. There are many beautiful pictures to be the theme. If I have bed mood,I always to change that theme. It’s so easier to arrange that screen with my condition. It’s so helpful for me. One day when I was clean my bedroom, I forgot to put my handphone. When I clean my book case and pull it, my handphone was fall down. I forgot it appears my handphone was on that book. I saw that’s screen was dark. I am so sad and I am to plead guilty.

Before my handphone was fall. That’s camera is clean and good. It’s 2 Megapixel. There is blitz. The picture is perfect and can to edit more perfect. The result of my handphone fall I can’t take a picture again. I can’t see my picture. And I can’t use that camera again.

This is my damage handphone. First it’s nice, good, perfect and wonderful, but now it’s dark. I can’t send a message, call someone and see a picture. I can’t see anything there. I’m so sad. My perfect handphone is change to become a mystery handphon (a dark handphone). I hope I can repair my handphone and use it again.
