Journal writing is homework in my study of writing III. My lecturer give this homework in order to we used to write. We have to write twelve journals writing to get good value. It is free writing. We can write anything in our journal writing. We also have to have blog to posting our writing if we want the best value. So, because of that I have this blog. Actually, I am shy to show my writing. But, I want to get the best value in my study of writing III.
It is not easy to write twelve journals writing in less than 2 months. Moreover, I seldom write. I don’t know what I want to write. This one is the twelfth, the last journal writing. I don’t have any idea to write my writing. I have written some ideas in my previous journals writing such as My Hobbies, Me and The Frog, My Best Friend, Why do you have to be selfish?, 3 Reasons Why I Don’t Like to Waste My Time For Fun, How to develop positive thinking, Accident, My Beloved Brother, Building Self-Motivation, My Big Mistakes, and Hidayat. I don’t get other idea to write this last journal writing.
In the midnight I get new idea. I want to write about journal writing. But I still don’t get supporting paragraphs, even supporting sentences to write this writing. I am confused. I am tired. And I am sleepy. But I have to finish this writing. I begin to write about my homework, journal writing. And the reason I write many journals writing in my blog. I get stuck again. Then, I get idea to write my previous journals writing on order to I get more sentences in this writing.
I have written two paragraphs in my journal writing. I make one paragraph again to support my writing. I write anything that exists in my mind. I don’t know it related or not to previous paragraphs, even to the title of my journal writing. I hope my lecturer informed and can accept this writing. Amin
*and my journals writing have finished … 

Hidayat

Hidayat is one of place which there is the funeral of great clerical in Riau provinces. Usually, people go there because of they want to visit the funeral or they have intention or vow to visit that place. We just can go to Hidayat by sea, no land road. If we want to go to Hidayat, we use boat or ship. It needs six hours to arrive there from Jambi. Three hours to go to Kuala Tungkal by land road, then three hours from Kuala Tungkal to Hidayat by sea (boat).
Actually, I have gone to Hidayat four times. I went to that place with my family to visit the funeral of great clerical. And the last time I went to Hidayat was when I was in Senior High School. We use boat to go there. Lots of beautiful scenery along the way we went there. My brother and I stand up holding the iron of the boat to see the scenery. It was very f un.
We arrived at the harbor of Hidayat. The funeral of great clerical is far enough from the harbor. So, we used motorcycle taxi to go there. After we arrived in the funeral, we take a rest in one of home resident which beside the funeral. Many people were there. They also want to visit the funeral. Then, we went to the funeral of great clerical together. We read yasin in the funeral to pray the great clerical. Interesting, many children like begging for pennies in front of the funeral. We have to prepare pennies to go to Hidayat. Because, it is one of traditions there.
We back to the home beside the funeral. Because in the home were sold souvenirs which religious. My mother bought its to give to my other family in my village. Then, we came back to our house. It is one of interesting place that I want to go there again. And I have the intention if I graduated from this university, I will visit that place again.
*wish me luck … 



My Big Mistakes

Everyone must have made a mistake in his life. They will be regret after done that mistake, won’t they? I am too. I have made big mistakes to my parents. I really regret it.
The first, I made mistake to my father. Someday, my mother got sick. But, she kept cooking for us. When my father back from working, he want to eat. My mother asked me to prepare the food for my father, because she can’t stand up, she got headache. I was very lazy to do that. But later I did it while nag. I didn’t know what I took. Then my father finished his lunch. My mother asked me again to clean it. But I didn’t want. Later, she cleaned it, she was surprised looking food scraps. She said that I was wrong preparing the rice. It is the rice yesterday. The new rice was still on the table. I really surprised and regret too. Because of my laziness, I did big mistake to my father.
Second, I made mistake to my mother. One day, in the morning I want to go to school. I have been already to school. I drive my motorcycle to go there. Suddenly, my mother asked me to drive her to the store. She wanted to buy something. I refused to drive her. I said that the store was not open yet. I also have to go at the time, if not I will be late. Moreover, I have to pick up my friend. But, she kept ask me to drive her. She said that it just a minute. Then, I agree to drive her. On the way, I drove the motorcycle very fast while nag and a little snapped her. Maybe my mother almost fell down because of that speed. I was right, the store was not open yet. My mother looks sad while said we just go home. I drove her to home and went to school quickly. On the way, I cried. I regret because I have snapped her and drive her by emotional. My mother just asked me to drive her for a minute, but I reply it by emotional attitudes.
These are my big mistakes to my parents. I really regret it. It happened because of my laziness. After that event, I never refused my parents anymore. I also promise to myself that I will not snap my parents anymore. I wanna be a good child for my parents.

My Beloved Brother

I have one brother. His name is Yoga Ananta Prasaswita. I call him, adeng (in banjarnese adeng mean younger brother). There is history of his name. Yoga is given by my father. I don’t know exactly why my father gives the name, but I know that he must give his children’s name beginning with the letter “Y”, like me Yenika. Ananta is given by my foster father. Ananta means anak kalimantan, it because my family come from South Kalimantan. Prasaswita means presiden reformasi wanita, it because when my brother was born, it coincides with the day inducted the first woman president in Indonesia. He has many nicknames, in my family he is called adeng, in his school he called Yoga, his friends call him Pras, and my host family call him Anang ( from Ananta). But, he never disputed that. He was born on July, 23th 2001. Now, he studies in SDN 22 in my village, grade fifth.
My brother is a cute kid. Although he is thin, he is a tall kid. He has a sweet smile. His skin is dark, it because he often goes play with his friends. He also goes to swim in the daytime. He has long eyelashes.
The ugliness is moody. He is moody kid. If he likes to do something, he will do, but if he wants to silent he will silent until his mood back again. He is a good brother. If I ask something to him, he will accept my request. He is a spoiled child. Maybe because he has a kind sister like me and he is the youngest child in my family. He is also a whiny child. If my parents don’t accept what he want, he will cry and more crying again if my parents scolded him because of that. But, he is a kid who easy to pity. If he sees our parents or I need a help or understanding, he will understand although we don’t ask for that.
All in all, my brother is someone who I love him very much and I really miss him. Since I live in this city, I seldom meet him again, because he lives with my parents in my village. Maybe he and I often fight if we meet, but I really miss that moment. Moreover in choosing television programs, we often fight over television remote. We just can agreed in one film, namely Zathura, tell story of brotherhood. We very like that film. It can be lesson for our brotherhood.
*I miss u very much my beloved brother, adeng <3

Accident

Have you ever had accident in your life? If you ever have got accident, you will be more careful to do your action, won’t you? Actually, I ever have had twice accidents in my life. And luckily I survived until now. The accidents very shook my mental. Moreover, it happen when I was still a kid. If you hear my story about the accidents, maybe you will believe that I have died at the time. But God very love me and I was given twice chance to live longer. Let me tell the incidents.
The first accident happened when I was in primary school. It happened in the river nearby my house. I often go to the river with my mother and my friends. I like go swimming there. Someday, in the afternoon I went to river. I invited my friends, but no one wants to go with me. So, I went alone to the river. Whereas, I never go alone there. And the other fact, no one is in the river. Usually in the morning and afternoon always crowded there. Then, I walked to the beams in the middle of the river through a board. When I almost arrived in the beams, I felt my body was not balanced. The board was very slick. I felt down into the water. I can swim, even I often across the river with my friends. But, at the time I felt my legs can’t move. I felt my body was almost drowned. I can’t breathe. I cried for help, but no one was there. I more felt my body drowned and can’t breathe anymore. Fortunately, in the rest of my breath, I saw a man help me. He lifted me to the river edge. I didn’t know what happened. When I woke up I was in my house. It turns out, the man who helped me was my neighbor. He is the father of my friend. They have helped me from the accident.
Second, the accident was happened two years later. The accident happened in the night. At that time in my house was very dark. The electricity was turned off. And my parents always ban me to light a candle in my room if I go sleep. They suggested me to use ordinary light. I followed the suggestion, but also violated their ban. The light was not bright, so I lit a candle, because I want to read my new magazine before I slept. My parents didn’t know. I didn't know exactly, suddenly I heard my mother called my name. I was lazy to wake up, but I heard my mother kept calling me and I also felt my room rather hot. It happens like a nightmare. My bed was on fire. I tried to extinguish the fire by me pillows. But the fire was more becoming. I was panic and confused, what should I do. I was afraid to wake my parents. They would be angry if they knew that I lit the candle. But I don’t have another chance. I called them. Fortunately, the fire can be extinguished by my father and my neighbor. Only the bed was burned. My mother just hugged me as long as people extinguished the fire. I was wrong. My parents were not angry. After my neighbor back to home, my parents hug me. They said that do not light candle in my room and do not think anything at the time. They also allowed me to not to go to school tomorrow and promise to me that they will buy a new better bed. They love me very much.
From two accidents above, I can learn that I have to be more careful in my life. It was an important lesson in my life, so I don’t repeat the same mistakes. I may not violate my parent’s ban. Thank you very much God, You always help and save me. Thank you very much for all people who helped me in my accidents. And thank you very much for my parents who always love me very much.
*I love you all .. 

3 Reasons Why I Don’t Like to Waste My Time For Fun

Pleasure and having fun are the term that very familiar in our life. Pleasure can be shopping, make a journey, hanging out, etc. Everyone likes to do that. It is becaused they got stress in their job or school. So, they need something that can make them relax and enjoy at the time. They will do the pleasure and having fun when they have free time or when get stress from daily activity or maybe when they get more money to do that. Even, more crazy there are people who like having fun in every time. Actually I am too, but in some reason I don’t really like waste my time for having fun.
For the first, I don’t like to waste my time by having fun because I don’t have more money for it. I know that not every pleasure need much money, but I keep not really like to have fun by waste my money. I prefer use my money to the other needs. I remember my parents very struggling to get money, and I waste the money for fun. I never think to do that.
The next one is I prefer waste my free time in my room than having fun. I like to do anything in my room such as watching television, online, reading novels, sleep, etc. I prefer stay in my room than go out. I can waste a full day in my room by doing activities above. Maybe it is the reason why I'm hard to get new friends. I used to be silent and seldom talk to the others.
The last, pleasure and having fun make me not discipline with my time. I don’t like to waste my time in vain. I believe discipline time can make us success in our life. So, I have to manage my time carefully. I don’t want if someday I get regret in the future because of I am not discipline in my time caused by my desire that want to pleasure and having fun.
Because of the reasons above I seldom have fun and enjoy pleasure in my time. I just do it if I get stress in my activity. It can be once a week, even one a month. Many serious things that we can do in early age for our future.
*don’t waste your time just for fun … 

Why do you have to be selfish?

Do you ever think that you have to be an egoist person? If you never think that, you can think this start from now. Because everyone absolutely have been thinking selfishly. They like to advance their prominence than the others. They will help the others if they have finished their concern or even they will not help anything. You can think selfish if you have ever experienced this following condition.
First, if your friends just need you when they need your help. For instance, your friends and you have same homework, they ask you to help them doing the homework or even ask you to do that homework. Whereas they know you don’t do that homework yet. If there is not homework they will not remember you. Or even when they are happy they forget to you. You have to say “no” when they ask like that. You have to think yourself. If you are a good friend, you will help them after you finished that homework. You have to think yourself before think about them.
Next, You have to think egoistic when you dependent on the others. I mean that, when you dependent to the others and then they make you disappointed. You can be selfish. For example, you always need someone’s help to do anything, but someday he can’t help you. You have to think selfish, you can do it. You don’t need his help anymore. It can motivated you to do by yourself.
The last, you can think selfish when your parents impose their wish to you. We often see parents impose their wish to children like impose their children to be someone who they want. Whereas the child was more interested in other one. I know that every parent want the best for their children and they know what the best for them. But I mean who are live in our future? Of course, we are, aren’t we? So, we have to be an egoist person. We will live in future, so we know what we want to be. We know it will be disobeying parents and they will be angry to us. But if you give understanding slowly, I believe they will give you trust.
To summary, these conditions above will increase your selfish. We know that selfish has connotative meaning, but if we think in positively, selfish can motivated us to be independent and more confident.
*you can try this at home … :D

ME AND THE FROG

Sunday, 24 July 2011 I was in my village. My village is 100 kilometers from Jambi. it needs 2 hours from my village to Jambi. At the day I want to come back to Jambi. Necessarily, I went in the morning but I was rather ill, so I pending my journey until the day. At the 01:00 pm I was still not fine. My parents didn’t allow to me doing the journey. They gave suggestion about Monday I back to Jambi. In the first I refused the suggestion because I had many homework and I should be in the class writing on Monday at 08:00 am. So, what time I can go and be in the class. But then I thought I can go at least at 06:00 am tomorrow.
Next day, my mother called me at 04:45 am. I was so lazy to wake up but then I woke up and prepared to back to Jambi. At 05:15 I began to go my journey. Twenty minutes on the way, the rain fell very heavy. I stopped my journey and stayed in front of a small house. I waited the rain stop. My mind always thinks how I can be in the class writing today if the rain doesn’t stop. I was chagrined didn’t come back yesterday. As long as nearly an hour I was there, the rain doesn’t stop. I think I will be late or I will not come to the class writing today. Suddenly, there was a frog closer to me. I looked at it. It paused looking at the rain that fallen. I kept looking at it. Then I talked to the frog, “frog please says to God to stop this rain. I have to go to Jambi now, I have to be in the class writing this morning, I have so many homework and I don’t do it yet. Please frog says to anyone or anything. Please … !!”. amazing !!! the frog looked at me, it seemed understand what I say to it. I repeated my expression again. And promised to the frog if the rain stopped I will make my journal writing about the frog. It kept looked at me. But then the frog went to beside of the house. After the frog went, the rain was more subside. I saw the frog again and said thanks to it. I continued my journey. On the way I always think how to put “ the frog” in my writing.
I arrived in Jambi and I can be in class writing at the day (although come late) thanks to the frog. So, now I want to keep my promise to the frog. I almost done write my writing about it.
*thank you very much frog … 

MY HOBBIES

Hobby is something that we like to do that, it can be fishing, shopping, reading, watching movie, playing a game, etc. Hobby can refresh our mind. If we get stressed in our activity like job or school, we can do our hobby to make our mind fresh again. We do our hobby because we like to do that. We can do it every day, even every time. We can forget everything if we are doing our hobby. It is because hobby is absorbing doing.
Many things that I like to do. So I think these are my hobby. The first one is watching television. I like watching television. If I have free time I always watch television. The program that I like to watch is comedy program. Comedy program can refresh our mind by laugh in watching the comedy. I can forget to do my other activity if I am watching the comedy I can spend a full day in my room by watching television.
The second hobby is reading a book. Especially reading a novel. I have some collection of novels. At least I read a novel in a week. I like to imagine the plot of the story in the novel. I also like to understand the character in it. Some time the story in the novel can be same with our life. It can lesson for us in the future life. Usually, I often exchange my novels to my friend’s novel in order to I can read many novels.
The last hobby is fishing. I like fishing, but I seldom do that. Because no one who want to accompany me and invite me to do this activity. I like fishing because it can make me refresh my mind. If holiday I always ask my father and brother to go fishing. But, they do not want to do that. They say that prefer to sleep or watching television than fishing. They think fishing is very bored but I think fishing is a good thing to do. It can practice our patient. When we wait the fish eat the fish bait, it need more patient.
These hobby above are things that I very like to do. Because its can refresh my mind when I get stressed in m y activity.
