My Campus

First of all, I chose to have a college in Binus International, because many people said that if we want to learn about computer technology in business, it is better to choose Binus International and enter the major of Information System. After I looked at the campus, I felt that the building looks modern and cool; the facilities are also complete for my learning activity. On the other hand, when I compared between the University of UPH (University of Pelita Harapan) and Binus International, I felt that Binus International is just the quarter size of the UPH. The UPH has a very big region in Lippo Karawaci, it has more facilities with big room capacity (library, canteen, classroom, etc.) and the environment is very clean. But I didn't felt disappointed about it, because whatever our college is, all we need to concern about are to earn better education to help our knowledge in the future and increase our socialization by making friends and communities. As we all know, Binus International is one of the universities that has a very expensive tuition fee, but I think if we spent our time more seriously by study in class, attend every class, and spent our time by learning and playing with our friends in the campus, thus we could feel that the money we had paid to Binus International was not wasted away. Right now, I felt that Binus International is the exact choice for me to continue my education and also determine my future career.

Life is a path of steps in which when you take the right one the next challenge arises where you need to select which one to take again. Life is full of challenges if you manage to take the right one you will be happy if not than you will face gloominess. Gloominess in someone’s life will result in the person having a negative point of view and once this has happened to the person in worst case it could result in the person being depressed or even committing suicide. As now we can see but if you take the exact right steps you will have a joyful life full of fun pleasure and exiting things to go through. This is quite unfair is it what life offers you?. One thing that matters is no matter what happens in life you should always try to be as positive as possible as taking the positive attitude is something that’s really hard but once you can take it the chances of proceeding life in a successful way is larger.

There are a lot of things that affects the gloominess or joyfulness in people’s life. Love firstly, Love is such a great feeling that is adored by a lot of people and if it is taken in a positive manner you will get the joyfulness but, if taking it in not such a good way it could result in the person being depressed. According to me love is pain as there is no love that wouldn’t result in getting hurt for example. When we are dating if we break up we tend to get hurt also when we are married if we get a divorce or the other person die's it tends to affect you in a bad way and hurt you so much. Love is pain as we just saw but people don’t usually care about the pain as when they are in love they tend to think all the pain is worth all the good times they have when they are in love.

Being in love is such a great feeling but not being in love isn’t such a great feeling but don’t worry 'every dog has its day'.

Who will be Indonesian Next President ? ?

A moment ago, the verification of politic party of Indonesia just officially opened. It signed that, the competition was open and the war just started. To be Indonesia President, a candidate must join into a politic party!! However, the main problem is not focused on how to establish a politic party, but it is focused on the legalization of the politic party itself. To be a legal party, we must complete of complex requirements. On the eve of the next Indonesian President Election, there are many politic parties that will compete to attract the sympathy from society. The society will have the chance to select the best leader for this country because the campaign was already open!! They blew up their missions and visions to the public!! By this, society could appraise which one is the best for them?? There are many names that was flag into the public like: SBY, Sutiyoso. Megawati, Jusuf Kalla would be superlative in the next election!! But, that was just prediction, while the truth can not be predict. Hopefully, Indonesia will be lead by a wise leader that could make this country be regarded in the World.

Movie Review : Mamma Mia!

If you ever missed the musical Mamma Mia!, you've now got the chance to experience on film what over 30 million people worldwide have seen on stage, this incredibly popular musical based on the music of Abba. This cinematic adaptation is from the same female team that created the musical. Producer Judy Craymer, writer Catherine Johnson and director Phyllida Lloyd join executive producers Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, and Abba members Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, to create a film that might feel a touch haphazard, but is hugely entertaining.Meryl Streep stars as Donna, an independent solo mother and owner of a small hotel on a Greek Island, who is coming to grips with her daughter Sophie's (Amanda Seyfried) impending marriage. With the wedding only a day away, she is reassured by the presence of her two best mates, Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski), from her one-time singing trio Donna and the Dynamos.Little does Donna know that Sophie, keen to discover who her father is, has found her mother's diary and invited three men to the wedding, each of which could possibly be her father _ Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Harry (Colin Firth) and Bill (Stellan Skarsgrd).Streep's enthusiasm for this role is infectious, and she sums up the spirit of the film when she does a hearty dive bomb off a jetty into the Mediterranean. There is no doubt the more mature actors in this film are fulfilling a dream by appearing in a musical, and while they have gone a little troppo with the excitement of it all, you'd have to be having a really bad day not to just get on board with them. Streep and Seyfried steal the show when it comes to the business end of the film, the singing. The boys make rather less of an impression, and Pierce Brosnan's singing is terrible, but his genuine enthusiasm for the role makes his vocals an amusing triumph. This film might embrace the inherent cheesy nature of the musical, but unlike the slick Hairspray or Dreamgirls it has a more relaxed approach to the performance of the songs. The choreography aims for laughs rather than to be visually stunning, and while it's obvious some work has gone into the singing, the dancing has been left more to general interpretation. Somehow this all helps add to the fun, relaxed and spontaneous attitude of the film.

Don't ya just love parking wardens

Parking wardens must be one of the most unpopular breeds in the world.Most people accept they have a job to do, and it's fair to say that our roads would be a lot more chaotic if they weren't around. The threat of a ticket is enough to persuade most people not to park illegally, or at least to do it for just a few minutes and then make their escape as fast as possible.However, it's difficult to be understanding when, having shelled out what seems like quite a lot for the right to park your car for a couple of hours to do some shopping, you turn the corner and see one standing by your car writing out a ticket - and you're only two minutes late getting back. For many people, reason and understanding seem to fly out the window, and parking wardens endure some pretty horrendous abuse, threats and even physical violence. Recently someone even used his car to ram a parking warden on a scooter.In some places, parking wardens are paid by a commission system, and are faced with tough targets - which just encourages them to ping people when they have the slightest opportunity.Matters have been made even worse for traffic wardens in London, where a couple of years ago a TV documentary revealed rampant corruption, with some traffic wardens accepting backhanders in return for turning a blind eye to blatantly illegal parking - and in one cases actually stealing motorcycles.Well, here's some good news for a change. In Scotland, a traffic warden by the name of James Dewar was told he was surplus to requirements, but was reinstated after a campaign to save him by local residents and motorists. He was apparently very popular with the locals, because as well as handing out tickets, he voluntarily took on other, perhaps more rewarding work - such as helping children get home safely after school, and assisting tourists.And not only did the campaign succeed, it looks like his duties may be expanded next year.It's not often that public campaigns save jobs, so all in all it was a pretty happy ending for Mr Dewar.

Movie I Want to Watch

When I first saw an add about a new movie that comming, I am so suprised because it was a movie about a super hero that almost identical to superman. It is a movie about superman like person but he was not loved by people in his town, because of his bad habit of drinking and destroying things that should have been saved. At first I just thought it was another superman like movie, but after I watch the preview of the movie on television, my mind changed. The story on the preview clearly show that after he met with a goverment man he changed into a real superhero. After that preview i said, “Good movie, I want to watch it right now!”. But in now, I have not watched it, but if you intrested the movie should be already showing in many cinemas.
