Story

You Are Pretty Little Thing



20 years ago, there was a girl who lived in dormitory and has a big dream. That is me, Siska. I was in semester 4 that days, I am study at IAIN Surabaya. Campus, college organization, food, and dormitory were my world. Those are very boring. In the beginning, I am going to tell you about my life in the dormitory. Every morning, at 4 p.m., I started our daily activities. I and my friend prayed, read Al-quran, and clean the dormitory together. There was an unforgettable woman in the dormitory. She is the dormitory’s owner’s wife, and she was very generous, wise, and friendly. She was the one who led us praying everyday. After the subuh pray, we did one of the most boring activities, wiridan. I think every moslem think so, because it takes pretty long time to finish it.
There was an unforgettable woman in the dormitory. She is the dormitory’s owner’s wife, and she was very generous, wise, and friendly. She was the one who led us praying everyday. After wiridan, we should read the holy Al-quran again for a certain time until the sun rises, because most of us need to go to campus. Then, the thing I hated the most taking a shower, because I got very long queue every time I was going to campus. Athough every morning felt so hard, but I tried to enjoy the dormitory.
After campus, usually I went home in the afternoon, and spent my pastime with doing assignment, and having a chat with some guys in the campus through smartphone messenger. It was pretty obvious that I was quite popular in the campus and my dormitory, because I was kind of pretty and easy going. Sometimes I also did stupid stuffs that made all of my dorm friends laughed and ill-feel. My dorm friends felt like my family, although they were annoying sometimes, but I love them so much.
About my love story, it is pretty interesting. When I was in college, I was close with several guys, and the first one is Khoiril. He was in different faculty, but our buildings were pretty close, so I often met him. Our relationship was so short, because he was a type of guy that talked a lot on his social media, but very quiet when we met. Therefore, it was pretty boring, and it felt like nothing was special.
The following guy was Riko who was a communication science student. He was very good looking, and it seemed that he was the one that every girl wanted to be with. The first time I met him was a coincidence. We met in a flower store, when he wanted to buy a bunch of flowers for his girlfriend, but he gave those flowers to me in the end. When I tried to give the flowers back in the campus, his girlfriend who was in the same faculty with me was furious to see me. Yep, all the drama was started, and that moment made me and Rico was getting closer. However, I gave up on Rico in the end, although I actually liked him. I just felt that he was too perfect for me, and many said that he was a player.
The last guy was Dimas who was the one that I can’t forget for the rest for my life. Yes, he never disappointed me, and I felt that I was the happiest girl in the world. We had been through a lot of times and memories that are always worth remembering. Of course, there were troubles, dramas, and arguments in every relationship, but those things were not as big as our love and belief. We could handle every fight that came to us.
One day, he invited me to come to his hometown, Madura. I met his parents, and all of his family, and I was really happy. They were so kind to me, and it made me thought much further about my future with Dimas. It felt like that Dimas was the right one for me. Few months later, Dimas also visited my home in Jakarta to meet my parents, and my parents liked him, especially my mom. I was so glad to know that, and I started to talk about marriage to Dimas.
Everything suddenly changed when Dimas revealed that he was arranged by his family to marry a girl. It had been a kind of Madura culture that every family should arrange their kids’ marriage, and it was forbidden for Madura people to marry Javanese. I felt so rough and broken to hear that truth, and it felt that my life was over.  Nevertheless, Dimas did not just leave me alone and marry the girl. He was still there for me, and it made me happy. However, it was just for a while, until he was really gone, and never came back again.

There were only sadness, pain, and disappointment that I felt for weeks. All of my friends were so sorry for me, and they made me to forget that loss, although it took quite long time. Then, I realized that friends were priceless for me, and I was just focus on my study.

Movie Review

How to Train Your Dragon 2


“How to Train Your Dragon 2” is an American 3D animation movie which was released in the middle of 2014. This movie which was produced by Dreamworks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox, belongs to fantasy action movie. It is actually the sequel of the first outstanding animated movie, “How to Train Your Dragon” which was released in 2010. Then, there are also many well-known actors that were involved in this movie, such as, Jay Baruchel, Gerrard Butler, Craig Ferguson, and Jonah Hill.

The movie started when Hiccup drove his dragon, Toothless, going on adventures to explore new places. That was five years after the clash between the Vikings of Berk with dragons was over. Hiccup was actually bored to be in Berk, because his father, Stoick, as the chief of the village, kept pressing him to prepare himself to be the next chief of the village.

When Hiccup was having a rest, Hiccup’s girlfriend, Astridcame by with her dragon, Stormfly, to join the adventure. In the middle of their adventure, Stormfly was captured by dragon trappers which were led by Eret. However, Hiccup and Toothless could beat the dragon trappers that were apparently ordered by Drago, Stoick’s old enemy. After bringing Stormfly back, Hiccup tried to find Drago to make peace, but, in the middle of his trip, he and his dragon were kidnapped by a group of huge dragons. Those huge dragons were commanded by a woman, named Valka, who was apparently Hiccup’s lost mother. Valka lived in a dragons’ nest which thousands of dragons lived there, and there was also the alpha of the dragons, called Bewilderbeast that could control smaller dragons.

Meanwhile, Astrid and her friends were caught by Drago who apparently had another alpha. He used Astrid and the dragons to bring him to Berk. Then, Drago and his dragon army went to Berk to capture other dragons. Nevertheless, in his way to Berk, Valka and her dragons stopped them, but it was not successful as Bewilderbeast was beaten by Drago’s alpha. After that, Drago’s alpha controlled Toothless, and made it to kill Stoick.

Then, Hiccup and his friends rode the baby dragons, which could not be controlled by any alphas, to distract the Drago’s alpha. Meanwhile, Hiccup confronted Drago who were riding Toothless, and finally succeeded to get his dragon back in consciousness. Both Toothless and Hiccup attacked the alpha repeatedly, that broke its control over the other dragons. Then, all of the dragons attacked the alpha, until its left tusk was broken. That defeat made the alpha and Drago went away. In the end, Hiccup was pointed as the successor of his father, to be the chief of the village, and Toothless became the new alpha of all dragons.


In my point of view, the movie is very attractive and entertaining, because the story is very interesting and well-organized. Besides, there are also many positive values that we can get from the movie. It tells us that love and hard work will pay off, and it clearly explains that animals have its feelings, and need to be loved. However, there are also two points that make me a little bit disappointed. First, the movie is a bit confusing when it does not directly explain that Stoick was dead. Then, it is not too good for children to show kissing scene (between Astrid and Hiccup). Overall, it is very nice movie, so I recommend all of you to watch this movie, because this movie proves that animated movie is as good as non-animated movies.

Here is some pictures of the movie.

MEMORIES


picture by google
It is just me waking up from a dream

That one star, that become dark again

Goodbye, I greet clumsily


In the time we spent, just for a minute

In the same space, stay for a minute

In that short moment, it is everything


Beyond the long way

In a distance, far away place

I, who cross our white memories


Let's meet again...

One of these years

One of these nights


This poetry tells about a girl who miss someone in the past and can not forget the memories.
