Insomnia in Love

"BECAUSE I CAN'T SLEEP TIL YOU'RE NEXT TO ME..NO I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU NO MORE ..OH I STAY UP TIL YOU'RE NEXT TO ME..TIL THIS HOUSE FEELS LIKE IT DID BEFORE..FEELS LIKE INSOMNIA…" –FROM INSOMNIA BY CRAIG DAVID


There are numerous things why someone can’t sleep at night. Maybe you are thinking about someone or someone is thinking about you. 

Gosh you can’t sleep!. After a whole day of work, still you couldn't sleep. It’s twenty past twelve already and you tried all stuffs, you could think of just to fall asleep. But not even a yawn came up. Maybe it’s because there’s someone that comes in your mind more often lately. But you wanted to sleep, and you wanted to just continue whatever that was into a dream. Remember that You can’t sleep that well either, if there’s a person in one corner of the world strongly thinks about you. Not until both of you decided to continue thinking about each other in your dream.” 

Then, you will say "It's so damn true!!"....Well below is an explanation about this...read it guys!!


Thoughts and Feelings Intertwine


Do you know that neuroscientists have discovered special cells in the brain, called mirror neurons? These cells instinctively create brain-to-brain links between people. It’s like a human WiFi neurological system, which allows special connections between humans. This means that our brain waves, chemistry and feelings can literally mirror the brain waves, chemistry and feelings of those people who are in our thoughts. Like linking within our hearts and minds – the thoughts, feelings and energies of people we love and admire.


That’s a fascinating discovery! But of course it may not happen all the time. It may not apply to everyone, especially if there’s a broken link. A person with a brain that lacks an active mirror neuron system may find it difficult to establish emotional links with others.



I think it happens when you believe in the power of it. That’s when the emotions intertwine and come strongly alive.

A Woman

A woman is not an object. She is not something; she is someone. You treat a woman with respect. She is not your toy. She doesn't owe you anything just because you are a man. When she comes to you for comfort, you listen to her; you don't make a move on her. Grow up and start treating women how they deserve to be treated.

Workplace Bullying

Hallo guys, have you ever gotten a bullying in your workplace??

A workplace bully makes you feel uncomfortable at work, for example it comes from your boss or your partner at work. Maybe this is your first job, therefore this is your first experience. You give your best for your first job, but sometimes it doesn't run well as you think. Then, people around you directly intimidating or bullying you with some acts or speeches that make you feel uncomfortable. I've ever felt it. Someday, I  was asked to coach a student to follow storytelling competition. I gave my best, and I did well I think. But, someone said to me that what I've done was so so. There were still many false, such as pronunciation, and expression were still bad. These were always said to me. Then, I thought that what I've done was nothing. It made me down. Can you feel that you gave your best, and you worked hard for it but people around you  did not respect it.  

Well guys, don't worry about workplace bullying in your first job. Positively, it will build your personality. It can motivate you to do something well, well, and well. Just enjoy your job, and never give up guys!!

You are What You Learn


If all you know is how to be a gang member, that's what you'll be, at least until you learn something else. If you become a marine, you'll learn to control fear. If you go to law school, you'll see the world as a competition. If you study engineering, you'll start to see the world as a complicated machine that needs tweaking.

I'm fascinated by the way a person changes at a fundamental level as he or she merges with a particular field of knowledge. People who study economics come out the other side thinking a different way from people who study nursing. And learning becomes a fairly permanent part of a person even as the cells in the body come and go and the circumstances of life change.

You can easily nitpick my definition of self by arguing that you are actually many things, including your DNA, your body, your mind, you environment and more. By that view, you're more of a soup than a single ingredient. I'll grant you the validity of that view. But I'll argue that the most powerful point of view is that you are what you learn. 

It's easy to feel trapped in your own life. Circumstances can sometimes feel as if they form a jail around you. But there's almost nothing you can't learn your way out of. If you don't like who you are, you have the option of learning until you become someone else. Life is like a jail with an unlocked, heavy door. You're free the minute you realize the door will open if you simply lean into it.

Suppose you don't like your social life. You can learn how to be the sort of person that attracts better friends. Don't like your body? You can learn how to eat right and exercise until you have a new one. You can even learn how to dress better and speak in more interesting ways.

I credit my late mother for my view of learning. She raised me to believe I could become whatever I bothered to learn. No single idea has served me better.

Now, the world has modern technology. It's really helpful. Human can do anything in their daily life easily. Nothing's impossible right now. How far away some places, it becomes closer now. Besides, People can communicate easily by using modern application in the internet. For example, they can communicate each other not only by using cellular phone, but now they can use some applications such as Facebook, Twitter, We Chat, What's up, Line, KakoaTalk, etc. These are really booming now. Every time, everywhere, and whenever people people can do it. How will be the world in 2020??? maybe in 2020, people in Indonesia feel having a neighborhood from the United Stated.

You're not Teenager Anymore

You know you're not a teenager anymore when.........

  • You have to wake YOURSELF up!!
  • You have to cook some meals
  • You do your stuff by your own self
  • When you think that going to bed at 12 is "early"!!
  • You have a saving accounts 
  • A spot is not the end of the world
  • When a quiet night in is something to look forward to
  • The past can't be changed but the future is whatever you want it to be
  • The last, when someone ask you "when will you get married?" -_-"

Teaching is Art

Are you "born to teach?" No, I'm not. Firstly, I think that being a teacher is not my ambition. But now, teacher is my job. I can't say anymore that I'm not born to teach. I love teaching now. Sharing my knowledge to my  students is one of my happiness. I try to be a good teacher. Some of characteristics of good teacher I follow, such as : 

  • creativity, energy and patience.
  • teaching by using game to attract the students.
  • using digital learning tools and technology.
  • having a good management class, the class is enjoy and fun to avoid stress.

Maybe some of you think that being a teacher is easy. That's not easy as you think guys. You can't be a favorite or good teacher if you can't develop your skill in teaching. You shouldn't make your students scary about you, but try to make your students care and follow your rules in the class. If the students are scary with the teacher, they will not like with the subject. Therefore, their score for that subject will be low. Well, as a teacher you are not only as a teacher for your students, but also as a friend for your students.     

SBY enters the Twitter area

Hallo guys, do you know what's different between Indonesia and the United Stated?? Guess what!!

Ok, have you heard that SBY (our Presidents) has an account twitter?? Right now you can say "Hallo" or you want to give comment to Presidents or you complaint about something, you can say it directly through SBY's twitter. You can follow him @SBYudhoyono. In the United Stated, Obama doesn't have a twitter account. So guys, this means that our President is open minded person. He has a personal account twitter  to engage more with the public. So, public can use it kindly, and don't use it in a wrong way.

“Students will be more focused,” Nuh said on Thursday as quoted by tempo.co.
Nuh said that honesty had always been problematic during the exams,which are given to students from primary to high school.
