Smile :)

Every single person has the ability to smile. Every single person can smile. But, how many that actually smile? I believe only few that actually kind enough to smile to other person. Everyone busy with their everyday work and don't have time to just smile. It is just like everyone has already forgotten how to smile.

Smile can change and bring many things. The world would be better if there were no war. But, that's just too idealistic. For me to make the world better you just have to smile.

Smile brings happiness.
A single smile can make a big change.

A true story
In one university there were two students that had been learning in the same class for two years, but they never talked to each other. Just said the students name were Iva and Echa.
One day when they meet, Iva decided to greet Echa and gave her a nice smile.
After that, they became a good friends.
At graduation time, Echa was asked to deliver a speech because she got the best marks.
At her speech Echa said thank you to Iva because at that day Iva greeted and gave her a nice smile. Why Echa thanked Iva for this? It was because at that day Echa wanted to commit a suicide. By Iva greeting and smile, Echa had the spirit to continue her life.

What can we take from this story?
Smile to everyone because we don't know how our smile are needed by other person.
Maybe it is just so small that other person can't even recognize. Or, it is very big like the story that it can change other person life.

It is your decision to smile or not. It is your decision to brighten the world with your smile or not.

with my smile :)

My Life as A Photographer

Everyone can take a picture using their digital cameras and the picture is done.
That is it to make a picture in this modern digital days. Most every single person just wasting their photographic skills by taking shots without even thinking about the picture going to be.

Every single picture is an art. Move from that picture should be made so that picture can present a great art to be enjoyed.

My life as a photographer (even if it is still short)

I started to take pictures as arts from my first grade at senior high school.
I just went through those days as it is. I just take pictures because I was obliged to do it as the tasks of my extracurricular.

The next year was better. This time my extracurricular only had nine people left. This was my golden age of photography. This time also when I got my first DSLR camera, Pentax K100D.
This camera is still my beloved friend until now.
This year also when I got to know my fellow photographer friends. We went through this together. One of them is happen to be my great friend of mine until now.
We
hunted for picture together,
joined competition together,
discussing together.
Until a time when I realized that he was smarter than me, in the term of academic skills and photographic skills. I was moving away from him just because I couldn't catch up with him.

In the third year.
He kindly encourage me to take pictures again and better.
I just hate myself because I couldn't pay his kindness.
I am struggling with my academic scores, my activities, my computing hobby.
And that just made me going further than before.
He even showed me his pictures to make my spirit come back.
I only show my admiration when he showed those pictures.
Inside myself I wanted to cry because I didn't appreciate what he has done to me.

For the next year.
I made a promise for myself that I will continue to take pictures as arts for him.
And, pay what he has given me until now.

My Ordinary Days

As a high school student I going through my days as other high school students.
Study at school from 7 o'clock in the morning until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
After that, I take extra lesson (because I'm your ordinary-lazy-get-bad-mark-student), or straight back home.

At home I usually playing games, read novels, browsing the internet, write blogs (just started ^^)..
What make me different from other students one from all is my skills to speak in English (I love to debate in English) . Speaking English is just wow in my school. When I talk with English with my fellow English teammates, the respond from the others is just wow.
So, to improve my English is why I started to write blogs.

In my next blog I'll write about my interest in photography. See you there! ^_^

My First Post

Finally my first post!
I've been through a hard time before writing this post because of bad internet connection.

I decided to start writing blogs.
The first reason was just to improve my English writing skills because English is not my main language.
The second reason was because I love to read and decided to start writing.

I start with introducing myself.
I am a senior high student in Indonesia (my lovely country ^^).
I'm 17 years old. Interested in computing, photography, English debating (haven't won yet >.<), reading novels, and playing games.

I'll try to write many posts discussing about my interest.
See you in my posts.. ^_^
