Hy, mr. Arief. this is my second posting in this semester. I want to tell you about my ligasa.
last thursday, my class had a soccer competition of smaga again. we called it 'ligasa'. because of rainy, i was affraid that it was our last ligasa. in the previous ligasa we lost because of rainy, that was my reason for thinking about it. in few minute, it was just drizzling rain. Finally, i decided to join supporting my class. This time, we were versus x8 as our adversary. My friend said that they were strong adversary. At the beginning, i didn't believe in our team. But, i did when the gays succeed to make first goal. I was sure that we could! The end of first round, the score was still 1-0 for us. this match would be the most interesting soccer competition. how come?? no one of us wanted to surrender. the ball ran over there and here then there and here again. that made me passionated. unfortunately, the adversary got one goal to make the score draw. until the game was over, to decide who was the winner, the refree held pinalty. my heart was beating because we were as strong as them. finally fortuna goddess was in our side. yeah, we won! the supporter sang themesong of world cup 2010 together to celebrate it. ooooo...oooooo...give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher...blablabla. yeah!!

사이니—Scar
Oh sir. Because I have just posting about SHINee, let me posting about them again. :DDD
This is about their song, that very touchable in my heart.
I wrote english translation of this song, because if I wrote Korean or Hangul, I'm afraid you don't understand. hihi.
This song's title is Scar.
#
[Onew] We shouldn’t have even started from the beginning
[Taemin] Ever since you left
[All] My scars just got bigger
[Onew] So that no one knows (even if I hide it)
[Key] I try hard to disregard it (even if I try)
A corner of my heart that doesn’t heal
[Jonghyun] It’s hurting as much as my growing scar
[All] I just need you, come back to me
I loved only you, I believed it all
I can’t let you go, I can’t leave you
Come back to me
Take all the painful memories
Even if I try to throw them away
The deep scar inside me and the affection towards you
Take it all
[Minho] The last touch to your cold lips
Getting deeper every second, the cold hush within the darkness
It’s already becoming light, the fragrance I threw away
Like a tattoo, the strong scar doesn’t erase
[Onew] Even if I smile like notihng is wrong
[Key] Even if I try to erase you
[Taemin] A corner of my heart that does not become exhausted
[Jonghyun] It’s hurting as much as my flowing tears
[All] I just need you, come back to me
I loved only you, I believed it all
I can’t let you go, I can’t leave you
Come back to me
Take all the painful memories
Even if I try to throw them away
The deep scar inside me and the affection towards you
Take it all
[Onew] Only you can heal my torn heart
[Jonghyun] I asked why you don’t like me
But you don’t even have an explanation
[All] I just need you, come back to me
I loved only you, I believed it all
I can’t let you go, I can’t leave you
Come back to me
Take all the painful memories
Even if I try to throw them away
The deep scar inside me and the affection towards you
Take it all
[Minho] Inside the extreme pain, the remaining broken scar
A corner of my heart that is sulky
Remember the heat in the memories that remain in my dark maze
So that the scars that are tired because of time can rest
Please come back to me
#
This song told about hope of love. Amazing! I almost cry when listened this song, sir. Although their genre of music is R&B, but those lyrics.. Woow!
Hmm, enough.
I think you start to confuse about SHINee that I have just explained.
Thank you sir for chance to write here! :3

When love hurt and killing us, should we still alive and believe?
When even our friend, family, didn’t care anymore, should we still hope them to reach us?
When even we could leave her, leave everything..
But these pain, hatred, and nightmare still alive to follow, should we stay inside?
Ai, an ordinary girl. She looks like a usual student. But, who knows? Behind her usual style, often show her happiness for others, she had darkness. Even she receives pain, revenge, and hatred from other moreover. But she still try alive, she still try.
Till when she got tired to trying alive, a concession came to her. Hold her to be strong. From him, she knew she wasn’t alone forever. There is a person who wants to help and care to her. There still a person who believe to her, and wants her to believe him.
“You aren’t alone anymore. I will be here. Because I’m your friend right now, and that’s the friends are for.”
“If you couldn’t leave your pain, hatred, and nightmare, you have to remember. I’m here to make you just close it. There’re still many thing of happiness to close it, but not to forget it. Because it makes you grow up and teaches you part of life. Trust me, you aren’t alone.”
Huuufff… This good eh? But,, I don’t think so. Ok sir, let me explain. This is a very short drabble and one-shot story. Maybe this will be multi chapter, I don’t know yet. This story dedicated for my friend. I hope everything will be ok for her/ him (I still make it secret, till he/ she allows me to explain about)
Sir, sorry I’m late to post this. I’m forget if you said twice. Thanks for read this geje story. See ya sir.

7 Years of Love
7 Years of Love
From: Yoo Youngsuk’s Tribute album (Original Sung by the group ‘White’)
We met for seven years
No one knew we would say goodbye this easily
However we still separated
With the memories we built for a long time, now gone
How did we at such a young age
Meet each other, I don’t even remember how
Difficult for us to handle the maps of our changing selves
They said saying goodbyes are painful
But I didn’t even have time to feel that
I just thought this is the way staying composed
But I cried
Time passed it gave me a simple yearning
Different from what my mind was seeing
At first friends then next as lovers
We said we’d stay as friends even if we separated
During those 3 years spent alone
We contacted each other sometimes
Even if I met someone else again
Even I loved again
Whenever I was sad I would call you without a word just tears falling
You have to meet a good person
I thought in my heart without any words
I asked if you still liked me without any thought hoping you say it back
I know
We had the most pure love
Back then we thought that kind of love couldn’t be done again we saved it in out memories
Often I feel a cold feeling from you
But now I know you can not ask anything
“I’m getting married” is what you said to me
After that for a long time I was speechless
Then I cried they were your last words to me
For the only words I wanted to hear was that you loved me
***
this song tell about a boy and a girl that have friendship, and they become lover. One day they broke up, and the boy know that it hard to keep a friendship with her. after 3 years left, he still try to keep in touch with her. he always tell her his problem with his girlfriend. he still love this women. he also told that girl to open her hearts to another guy. until one day the girl say that she get married. the boy can say nothing, he just cry silently. he just want to hear the last words from this girl, just 'I love You'.
I like this song, not only the lyrics but also the singer who sing this song, I always replay this song in my computer.

when hot weather, we need adequate water. Then the body will respond by secreting sweat to normalize body temperature. And also when the air-conditioned room, we are encouraged to drink more because the air conditioner makes the body becomes dehydrated and dry skin.
2. Blood launched
If our body water shortage will become more viscous blood. This makes the blood coagulation intake of oxygen to the brain decreases and a stroke could occur. Except stroke, can damage the function our kidney and colon cancer.
3. Skin smoothing body
Water is essential organize the structure and function of the skin and also maintain moisture, softness, and elasticity. If we rarely drink water, the body will absorb the water content of the skin that makes it look more dry, dull, coarse, wrinkled, and not fresh.
4. Streamlining the digestive function
By consuming enough water, will assist the work of the digestive organs, such as the large intestine that serves to prevent constipation. Bowel movements become more fluent.
5. Assist breathing body
Lung in desperate need of water, this can be proved by way of exhaling into the glass. Water vapor out through the breath will be visible in the form of dew that clung. The more adequate amount of water in the body the more smoothly our breathing.
6. Lubricating joints and muscles
enough water will protect and lubricate the movement of joints and muscles. Water consumed during exercise is useful to minimize the risk of muscle cramps.
7. recovery of body condition

The Differences Between Monaco and Indonesian Flag
Ya, I just wanna share what I know about this... I’m going to talking about flag. Maybe a lot of you already know about this.
Several people said that Indonesia is plagiarism. But I don’t think so.
For more details, here is the prologue :)
MONACO flag
The flag of Monaco has two equal sized horizontal stripes. The top stripe is red and the bottom stripe is white.
Red and white were the colors of the ruling Grimaldi family. The colors are patterned as a diamond shaped pattern on the shield of the family's coat of arms. Therefore Monaco’s flag meaning comes from this family who ruled Monaco.
The Monaco flag was enacted on April 4, 1881, making it one of the world's oldest flags. Prince Karl III instituted Monaco’s flag on that date in 1881. Monaco was granted independence from Italy on January 8, 1297, when the territory was recovered by the house of Grimaldi, a family of Italian origin, who established it as a principality. The Principality, with an area of 151 hectares, is the second smallest sovereign state in the world with the smallest being the Vatican. This flag of Monaco can be flown both nationally and civilly by its citizens.
Monaco's state flag, which has Monaco’s coat of arms on a white background, is flown at government offices, the Prince's palace, in the presence of government officials, and as an ensign on the Prince's yacht. There is also flown a Princely standard, however this flag is only flown in the Prince’s presence or on the car that he is traveling in.

There is also flown a Princely standard, however this flag is only flown in the Prince’s presence or on the car that he is traveling in.
The principality of Monaco, an enclave in south eastern France, is the second smallest state in the world after the Vatican. Monaco was a battleground in the Genoese civil wars between the Guelphs and Ghibellines. The Guelph Rainier Grimaldi conquered Monaco from the Ghibellines in 1297. From 1525 to 1641, Monaco was considered a protectorate of Spain. In 1641, Monaco became a protectorate of France. In 1793, France launched a coup against the Grimaldis and made Monaco a part of France. In 1815, Monaco became a protectorate of the Kingdom of Sardinia. In 1861, Monaco was granted independence under the watchful eye of France. Monaco grew in popularity with the opening of the Monte Carlo Casino in 1863. In 1956, Prince Rainier III married United States actress Grace Kelly. In 1993, Monaco became a part of the United Nations. Monaco has no income tax; therefore many super rich individuals choose to live there for that tax benefit.
INDONESIAN flag
The Indonesia flag is made up of two horizontal stripes of color. The top color is red, and the bottom color is white. The red represents the blood and the human body. The white symbolizes the soul and the spirit. When put together they make up the entire human body.
The Indonesian flag was enacted on August 17, 1945. The first flag of Indonesia was flown among Japanese occupation forces on the day Indonesia's independence was announced. However, the previous Dutch colonial rulers did not recognize Indonesian independence until December 27, 1949. In 1922 the Indonesia flag was used by activists seeking Indonesian independence from Dutch colonial rule and was later flown in 1928, by nationalists on the island of Java to represent the Indonesian campaign for independence. Indonesia’s flag is based on a banner believed to have been flown in the late 13th century by the Majapahit Empire. This flag can be flown both nationally and civilly by its citizens.
Indonesia has some very strict guidelines for the use and care of its flag. The Indonesian flag should never be allowed to drag along the ground as it disrespects the history of the flag and the history of Indonesia in general. When the flag is tattered or faded, that flag must be replaced with a new flag in a good condition. It is very important to ensure the flag always goes the correct way up, due to care and consideration. When in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, the flag should be destroyed respectful and dignified way, preferably by burning in private due to care and respect.

1. Before our independence day, our country didn’t know Monaco country.
2. Indonesian flag is not simply come from Dutch flag without its blue color.
3. There are differences of scale in terms of size flag:
- Flag of Indonesia: Scale 2 versus 3 (2:3)
- Flag of Monaco: Scale 4 versus 5 (4:5)
4. What's important is that the Indonesian flag contains a deep philosophy about the people of Indonesia itself.
- Flag of Indonesia: Scale 2 versus 3 (2:3)
- Flag of Monaco: Scale 4 versus 5 (4:5)
4. What's important is that the Indonesian flag contains a deep philosophy about the people of Indonesia itself.
Actually, I actually wanted to write more about the history of the Indonesian flag, but because of time limit, I end up here. thank you for reading :)

My Unforgettable Experience in Kempo
Hello everyone. Thanks to mr. Arif anyway...
I wanna tell you about my experience.
Em, do you know Kempo? It is one of martial art. Well, I guess maybe just a few people know about Kempo, hehe.
Since 10th grade, I joined Kempo in SMA 3. I really love it. At the 1st day I practiced, there were quite a lot of new members who attended. But slowly but sure the number was decreasing and finally there’s only few of us who still attend the practice. Just like our senpai once told us, joining Kempo was not that easy, only the strong who can survive. Well, include me of course J!!
Thanks to our seriousness in practice, me and some of my friend are in level Kyu 3 (green obi/belt).
Last month, on February 27th and 28th, Perkemi Branch for Semarang City held Kejurdo (championship between dojo). All Kempo dojo in Semarang followed the championship. Dojo means the place where we used to practice. Right now, Dojo Smaga is short of instructor. In Kempo, we call the instructor with “senpai”. Some of Japanese martial arts that we know; such as: Karate, Aikido, Judo; are using the term too. But I think senpai actually is for those whose level is above us or senior student but not the instructor.
Fortunately, there was one senpai who willing to teach us. So, two weeks before the tournament, we practiced really hard. There are two categories of competition, randori and embu. Randori is a term used in Japanese martial arts to describe free-style practice or sparring, sometimes with multiple attackers, just like fighting each other and embu is the Japanese name for a martial art demonstration.
The big day finally came. I and six others went to IAIN Walisongo where the competition was held, while the two others came later because they had something to in school.
Nia Alva (XI A 4) and Nia Beta (XI A 6) competed for “Embu Pasangan Putri” category. Moses (XI A 7), Jojo (X-1), Yani (XI A 4), and Oui (my sister) competed for “Embu Beregu Campuran” category. While in randori category, our dojo sent Swastika and Rista (XI IS 2). Nia Alva, Yani, Oui, Moses also competed in randori. I myself only became the team manager ^.^v .
I didn’t play because it seemed like I weren’t allowed to. It’s too bad because I really really wish I can compete to. At least I will get some experiences. But God already decided. About two months before the tournament, I got sick several times. The worst was six days before the day, I fell from my motorcycle and my left foot was injured.
The first day was very tight. According to the agreement from the previous meeting, all games would be conducted on this day because we said to the committee that we were having our mid-semester test at March 1st. It was very tiring for us who just follow a tournament like this for the first time. But we were so excited though there were obstacles at the beginning. I got very nervous to face it; especially it was my duty as team manager to make sure there was nothing wrong with my team. Fortunately, many senpai were willing to help anytime we asked for.
At the second day, there were only few more games before the final games from all categories. Unfortunately, no one from our dojo was able to win or at least reach the third place. It was no surprise because we only got so little time to practice and this championship was our very first tournament that we ever been in.
When they announced the winner of each category, we were really shocking because our “Embu Beregu Campuran” team beat IAIN team and we got at the second place. At first we heard the announcement, we couldn’t really believe it because we thought, and so everybody was, that IAIN team was better than us. We actually didn’t wish to win anything and we just wanted to have fun with it.
I’m very grateful, especially to God, because our efforts were not wasted. We don’t have any senpai who accompanied us like any other dojo but we were able to bring home at least one trophy.
That’s some story from me. Thank you for reading :)
