A Passion Seeker 👩🏻‍🎨

Image
Hi guys! How are you? What is your passion? Today I'll tell you guys a story about "finding my passion". It'll be pretty long, so you can get your snack first. 😛      I'm just an ordinary girl that doesn't have any special talents, but my father is very good at drawing. When I was a child, I always ask him to draw me flowers, trees, sceneries, even Arabic calligraphies. I was interested in something colorful, and I was so happy when my father gave me a play dough set and colorful chalks. Back then, I didn't have any specific hobbies. I watched Teletubbies, Barbie, Blues Clues, and other kids programs. I played hide and seek with my friends, and yeah just "a very normal childhood life", cause the gadget wasn't common yet.        Back then, when I was in the fourth grade of Elementary School, I moved to Cirebon, West Java, and I studied at Bima Elementary School. I met a friend who is very good at drawing there. During the b...

ARE YOU A GRAMMER NAZI? 🤔

Image
     Hi guys!      How are you? 😄      Have you ever heard the word "Grammar Nazi"?      Don't worry guys, it's not related with Hitler at all...😛      So, what is " Grammar Nazi "?     Grammar Nazi refers to someone who habitually corrects grammar and spelling mistakes made by others in conversation, both on and offline. Grammar Nazi believes that proper grammar and spelling should be used by everyone whenever possible, and he/she attempts to persuade or force others to do so.      If you find it's a serious problem when you see grammatical errors and you feel that you need to fix them, you might have a form of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), which is called Grammar Pedantry Syndrome. Today, I'll show you examples of  being a Grammar Nazi. On the first tweet " I hungry " is supposed to be " I am hungry ". On the seco...

Diary? A Safe Haven! 📒

Image
Hi guys!!! How are you? 🙂 Do you ever need space to discuss your feelings without anyone knowing? Have you ever had a hard day and you want to share it with your friends, but somehow you don't want your friends to know? Actually, you can make a special friend for yourself! Diary!      Maybe write a diary or journal (for boys) sounds very old and boring. Usually people write handwritten diary, but now you can type them in your gadget, or download various types of journal apps. There are many cool things that you'll get if you start making your diary or journal. For example :      📍  When you need space to discuss your feelings without worrying people's opinion.            Just grab your paper and pen, then write them down! You will feel better.      📍  If you want to remember your special moments in very detail way.           Well, ...

SEND YOUR FRIEND A POSTCARD 📜🖍

Image
Hi guys! How are you? 😋😊         Today, I will tell you guys about my cool assignment, and the assignment is to send your foreign friend a postcard. But, we don't have to actually "send" it. We can just write down our message and the address in a postcard, and pretend that we will send it to your friend. Sounds fun, right? 😆      We know that the purpose of postcard is to send a message to your family or friend briefly. Postcard is a printed card that has a picture on one side and space for a short message and receiver's address. Here is the example : (The picture on a postcard) (The space for your message and receiver's address on the other side)      People rarely use postcards to send their messages nowadays. Some people may think that postcards are old style and inefficient, because you can use social medias such as Facebook, Line, Whatsapp and so on, instead of postcards. ...

Hi guys, how's life? 😀      Today, I'm going to give you some tips when you want to send a formal message, especially for your teacher or lecturer.      First of all, I want to tell you guys that this was my first assignment from my lecturer, and the assignment is to send a formal message. I thought that it would be easy, because everyday all of us are send message, right? We usually do it via Whatsapp or just regular SMS.      I thought that all I need to do is just write down the message politely, and it's done... But, I'm wrong... 😂 I failed on my first try 😛      When she said "Revise please", I started to think what is my mistake. I checked my message over and over again. Then my second try... Well, something is off 😝      On my second try, she didn't reply my message and at that time, I realized that there is something off. Is it not polite enough? Is it my gram...
