It's All About The Big Dreams of A Big Girl.......

I'm pretty sure that everybody in this world has lots of dreams, including me. I'm so glad that God gives me an ability to dream and also the ability to reach my dreams. That's very awesome! I'm also very happy when I get the time to share dreams with other people. That sounds very cool! So now friends, because I like to share my dreams with other people, in this occasion I'd like to tell you about my dreams in this posting. Do you want to know? Okay, Let's check these out.

I have so many dreams and I must confess that My dreams are very big (just like my body^_^). First, I want to tell you about my short term dream. My short term dream is about how to be a diligent student again, like I did when I was in Syantikara. I must confess that since I went from Syantikara and lived in my own house, I become a lazy person. I'm lazy to do my homework on time and lazy to study. Not only that, I'm also very lazy to clean my house. My mom doesn't like it. She often angry with my laziness. Because of that, I've tried to reflect my self and I've made a decision based on my reflection. From this moment, I am going to write all of the things that I have to do in my agenda and I must read my agenda everyday and do all of the things which are written in my agenda. I think, it can help me to be a diligent person again. And about to be diligent in cleaning my house, I will try to clean my house every Saturday or Sunday, like I did when I was in Syantikara. That's all about my short term dream.

Now, I will tell you about my middle term dreams. My first middle-term dream is about graduate from PBI on time. I don't want to study in this university for more than 4 years. Because of that, starting from now I am going to study more diligently. I am also going to be more active again when I'm learning in class. Iam going to give my best in paying attention on my lecturers when they are teaching. I am going to not absent in class, except if I'm sick or get big trouble.

My second middle term dream is about I am able to speak English fluently. To reach that dream, I've tried to speak English with my dad and also my friends in class. I've also tried to enrich my vocabularies for speaking with reading lots of English magazine and also watching English movie with English subtitle. I hope, I can keep do those things so I can speak English fluently.

Now, I'm going to tell you about my long term dreams. First, I am going to get my master degree in Europe or US. Yes, I want to study abroad to get my master degree. I like to choose Cambridge or Oxford as the university where I can get my master degree. Why I choose those universities? I choose those universities because they are so well-known and I think they are good for their literature. Not only that! Those universities are located in England and in my opinion, England is a beautiful country. In England, we can find lots of beautiful area and interesting public spots such as London Eye. When I'm studying in England I will get on The London Eye, because from London Eye we can see the beautiful scenery of London from the altitude.

Ok, I'll continue my story about my second long-term dream. My second long-term dream is I will be a kindergarten teacher in London or maybe in New York. Why kindergarten teacher? The one and only reason is because I love children very much. I like play and spend my time with them. Besides that, I will also try to be an announcer for BBC or VOA. I love broadcasting, so I decide to be an announcer when I'm studying abroad. Last, this is about my third long-term dream. I want to marry with a foreigner, and hopefully I can marry with my idol Craig David (the most popular R&B singer in UK). To reach that dream, I will stay and work in London if I graduate from my study. Why London? Just let you know friends, Craig David lives in London, so I choose that city to stay and hopefully I can meet him often. If I can't get Craig David to be my husband, I will try to reach another foreigner who has a similar face with Craig David, Will Smith, or young Michael Jackson ( when he was in dark skin). I like a tall and handsome dark guy because I think they are so cute and sensual ^_^ .Hmmm, It sounds so fabulous, isn't it?


Ok, friends! Those are about my dreams! Hopefully you and I can reach all of our dreams. Let's try to reach them! Keep spirit and trying!OK!Have a nice paragraph writing class and God bless us always.

Are you sure uncle?

On Last Saturday afternoon(the exact day was on Saturday before Easter), I was in boring condition. I had nothing to do. I just stayed in my room, played game in my computer, and listened to my mp3 player. Those activities still made me feel boring. Unfortunately, my mom and dad went to do their own business. I just stayed with my grandmother and my grandfather at home. Suddenly my 2 uncles and also their wives came to my house with their children. They wanted to spend week-end in Jogjakarta. After they took a break for awhile, they asked me to go with them to Malioboro. I was so happy when they asked me to go with them.

When we arrived at Malioboro, we decided to park our car in Inna Garuda Hotel and walked around Malioboro by feet. Suddenly, my youngest cousin cried because he wanted to walk around in Malioboro by andong. Because he always cried and cried, we decided to walk around in Malioboro by andong. We rented an andong and the price to rent an andong was about 50.000,00 rupiahs. With 50.000 rupiahs we could walk around in Malioboro by andong, including walked around in Sultan Palace's Area. At the beginning, my uncle who would pay for the Andong didn't agree with the price because it was too expensive, but because his child always cried, he finally agreed with the price.

When we got on the andong, one of my uncles decided to take a picture first before the andong walked. My aunts,my cousins, the other one of my uncles, and I (total 6 people) were in Andong first and my uncle took picture of us. After taking the picture, my uncle got on the andong. When he got on the andong, I asked him, "Uncle, are you sure to get on this Andong?". My uncle replied,"I'm sure,why?". I couldn't say anything when my uncle got on the andong. I just felt afraid. Why did I feel afraid? Hmm, just let you know friends, my uncle has weight more than 100 kilograms. Imagine! We were 7 people, and we got on the same andong. I'm 86 kilograms and my uncle is more than 100 kilograms.This situation got "worse", when I found that the andong's driver was so skinny. That was really made me felt afraid. I was so afraid if the andong would fall down and all of us would get injured.

During the trip, I just prayed and looked at people around our andong. I could see people's expression when they was looking at us. We were 7 people with 2 overweight people in the same andong. They were looked so amazed when they were looking at us. Moreover, some of them were laughed at us. They made me felt so ashamed too. The thing that made me felt so astonished was my uncles,my aunts, and also my cousins were looked so happy and they really enjoyed the trip. Only me who was looked so afraid.

I began to feel relax and enjoyed the trip when our andong walked around in Sultan Palace's area. Why could I feel so relax when our andong was walking around in this area? As you know, as long as I lived in Jogja, I never visited Sultan Palace's area, so when our andong came to this area I was happy because I could see what does Sultan's Palace look like and that was so interesting. Even though I began to feel relax, I still felt afraid if our andong passed unpaved road. I was afraid if suddenly the andong fell down. Fortunately, it didn't happen.

Finally, our andong came back to Malioboro safely. We were still alive after taking trip by the andong. After we arrived and got off from the andong, my uncle said this to me, "So Maris, We are still alive, aren't they? Hahahaha , how countrified (wong ndeso) you are !" After he said to me like that, I just smiled without said anything. I felt so ashamed after he said like that.

Hmmm, even though our trip by andong was so breathtaking, it was still fun, wasn't it? I'm still alive and I've decided to include this moment into my unforgettable experience's lists. Hahahaha, Have fun!

This is about my daily activities......Do you want to know???

Aloha! It's almost more than one week I haven't posted something in my blog. So, I'm so happy that in this occasion I can continue posting something in my blog.Hmm.., now in this fifth post, I'd like to tell you about my habitual activities. Let's check it out!

I usually wake up at 05.45 am or maybe at 6.00 if I am lazy to wake up in the morning. After I wake up, I always tidy up my bed and sweep my bedroom's floor. After those activities have done, I go to take a shower for 5 minutes, after 5 minutes left I get dressed. After get dressed, I directly go to campus with my father and sister. I'm not usual to have breakfast at home, because I'm afraid if I get late to campus. I like to bring my breakfast which is already served at home to campus.

I like to have a morning prayer when I am on the way to campus. I do it because after I get up in the morning, I haven't prayed yet, so I decide to have morning prayer in my way to campus. I arrive in campus at 6.30 am and the first lesson begins at 07.00 am. I usually stay in campus until 1.00 pm. At 1.00 my daddy has already picked me up and we directly go to Stella Duce Senior High School to pick my sister up. At 1.45 pm we arrive at home. When I arrive at home, I go to my bedroom to change my clothes with casual clothes. After change my clothes, I prepare myself to have lunch. When I finish my lunch, I usually take a nap for 2 hours to refresh my mind.

I get up at 4.00 pm and then I take a bath. After 15 minutes left, I usually watch television until 6.00 pm.I study and do lots of assignments at 6.05 pm until finish, usually until 10.00 pm.Unfortunately, at 06.05pm until 10.00pm I don't study diligently. I often study with watching TV and listening to my mp3 player. Maybe you ask, When do I have my dinner? My answer is more than this 5 weeks, I decide to do not have dinner. I do that for my healthy and to make my body more proportional. Even though it hasn't proportional yet, I still try my best to make my body becomes healthier and also more proportional.(>_<). I usually go to bed at 11.00 after I have a night prayer with my family and brush my teeth.

Hmmm,, those are my habitual activities. I really enjoy to do it, except if there are lots of assignments. By the way, I want to say Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate Easter day....and I really sorry if there are lots of mistakes in my writing..ok?!? GBU.....

It is about how to make my favorite food "JADAH"

Friends, do you know about JADAH? I think if you are Javanese or you live in Yogyakarta and other cities in Central Java, you will easily guess what JADAH is, because it is also a Javanese traditional food. Just let you know friends, Jadah has been my favorite food since I visited Kaliurang recretion park ,5 months ago. This food is also well-known as Kaliurang's specialty food. This food has white color. This food is sticky and delicious. It has deliciously oily taste. Hmm, sounds delicious, isn't it? Because I really love this food, I'd like to tell you about how to make JADAH.

First, I want to tell you about the ingredients. The ingredients that you need to make jadah are 1 kilogram of sticky rice, 1 medium bowl of grated coconut, one teaspoonful of salt. Don't forget to add 2 slices of pandanus and a slice of bay leaf, to make this food smells good. You also need utensils to make the food. The utensils which also important to make Jadah are a pan steamer, a small plastic basin to put pandan leaves and bay leaf, a bread mold to put JADAH after it has already cooked, a mortar to mash JADAH, a stirring spoon, a plate and last but it's very important is stove.

Now, I'm going to tell you about the process. First, soak the sticky rice for two hours with clean water. After that, steam the sticky rice which has already soaked for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes left, lift the steamed sticky rice from the steamer. Then, mix the steamed rice with one medium bowl of grated coconut, one teaspoonful of salt,2 slices of pandan leaves, and one slice of bay leaf,stir them for a while. After you have already stirred it, steam the mixture for 30 minutes until it is getting cooked (now, we can call it JADAH). Next,pick all of the leaves (bay leaf and pandan leaves) from JADAH and put the leaves in a small plastic basin. Next, mash JADAH to make it tough and more sticky. Last, flattened JADAH in the bread mold ,slice it into some pieces if JADAH has already been a bit chilly and put them into a plate. Now, Jadah it's ready to serve. Hmm, It is sounds easy to make, isn't it?

Friends, I really suggest you to eat this food. Believe me, if you eat this food you will never getting bored because it's very delicious. You can easily find this food in Kaliurang recreation park. There are a lot of stalls which sell JADAH. OK! friends, Bon Apetit!!!

This is about my favourite lecturer....Can you guess it?

In my opinion, this lecturer is a very nice person. I really love this person's ways in teaching structure lesson. This person has much patience with her students. If this person's students still don't understand with the lesson, this person always repeats again the lesson until the students understand about the material. In the end of the lesson, this person always gives opportunity to this person's students-who still don't understand about the material- to ask about the material. And the thing that I like from her most is her ways in speaking. Her voice is really "easy-listening" or we can say that this person's voice is so gentle.

Ok! Now I want to describe this person more spesific. First, this person has a quiet plump body. This person is quiet tall. This person has medium length, straight,black hair. This person has round dark eyes. This person has light-tanned skin. This person has thin lips. I think this person is almost 30 years old. Friends, I've mentioned about this person's general appearances, So, can you guess it???

Ok, If you still can't guess it I want to tell you about the next clues. This person often uses white shirt with a scarf on it. This person has a batak's clan in the end of this person name. At this time, this person is not in our campus, because this person is studying abroad to get this person's master degree. I really hope that this person can comeback to teach us again soon.

I think, it is difficult to guess if you are in absent more than 30. If you are in absent 1-30, I really sure that you can guess it easily, because this person was our structure lecturer in the first semester. So, friend can you guess it?

If you can guess it, I will give you a bowl of meat ball ( just the bowl)! Ok?! Have a nice Paragraph writing class! Happy writing!

It is about my favourite place in this university

Even though this room is a part from our university, this room is separated from the main campus Mrican’s building. In common days this room is enough quiet. We rarely find students or lecturers visit this room in common days. But, in the last day of administration payment or in the day of new student’s registration this room can be so crowded. Before we enter this room we will find little upstairs in the front of its entrance. This upstairs helps us enter this room. When we enter this room, we directly can see the statue of Drijarkara- the founder of Sanata Dharma University. In the left side and right side of the entrance we will see 4 announcement boards. Two boards in the left side and the others are in the right side. In my opinion, these boards are the favorite boards for some of graduated students because in these boards we can see lots of job vacancy advertisement.

This room has about 6 sub rooms. Four of these 6 rooms are countered-rooms. 3 sub rooms the left side and the other one is in the right side. The sub room that is located in right side has 3 counters. In front of this sub room, we can find some chairs for students who want to do registration business in this campus. In this sub room, we can find lots of papers and stuff. If I enter this room, I can feel uncomfortable because this place looks like a very busy place. Near from this room, there are a lift and an office of this room’s chairman.

So, what will we find in the left side of this room? In the left side of this room, we will find 3 sub rooms. Two of these sub rooms have an “interesting” smell for me. This “interesting” smell is money smell. Yes, those 2 sub rooms are small- bank rooms. Each of these rooms has a counter for KRS payment or others administration payment. Not only small- bank rooms that can be found in the left side of this room, but there is a countered room that has function for us to take the payment proof. Near from the first small bank room, we can find two toilets and the big upstairs. In my opinion the toilets are enough clean.

Generally, I like this room because it is clean and so wide. Not only that, this room also has enough fresh air. That’s why I comfortable to stay in this room when I must do some administration business.

So, according to what I’ve written above, I hope you can easily guess what kind of room that I mean. Ok! Happy guessing!!!

It is about a girl called "Maris"

Hello guys! In this first post I'd like to tell you about myself, because I think it is the right term for me to tell you about myself. My name is Stella Maris Saraswati Mere, you can call me Maris. I was born in Semarang, May 7 1991. I'm the first-born child in my family. I have a cute sister named Priska. I also have a wise dad and a lovely mom. Now I live in Jogjakarta with my wonderful family.

What do I look like? Hmm, actually I like to describe myself as a cute girl, but unfortunately my physical appearance doesn't seem like a cute girl. I have an over weight body, but as you know I'm enough confident with my body. I love my body. Beside an over weight body, I have a round face, tanned skin, wavy hair ( but I always make it in pony tail style), black eyes, pointed nose, and thick lips. Maybe now you can guess or describe what do I look like.. If you imagine that my face is same with Cinta Laura, I can say that you are the "cleverest" person in describing someone.(^_^)

Next, I want to tell you about my hobbies. I like singing very much. I like to sing in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower and in study room when I'm studying. Besides singing, I like watching movies, listening music, and reading. But now I rarely reading books, I prefer to read magazines and newspapers because I think they are more interesting to read.

In this first post I also want to tell you about my dreams. I have lots of dreams. First I want to be an English lecturer in my dad's hometown , Flores. I want to develop Flores students' ability in learning English. Second I want to go abroad. I want to go to Europe because I think Europe has a lot of great countries with their beautiful cities. Third, I want to continue my study in Cambridge University. Why I choose Cambridge? Because when I saw some pictures of Cambridge University I saw that the building is very great and amazing . Beside that, Cambridge University is a well-known university in the world. My dreams that I've mentioned above are also my reasons why I chose to study in PBI now.Last dream is about what kind of man I suppose to marry with. I have a dream that someday I can marry with a foreigner or we usually call it "bule". My purpose why I want to marry a foreigner is I want to have children who are better than me, neither in physical appearance or cleverness.

Last, I want to tell you about my feeling study in PBI. Study in PBI is very awesome and amazing. I can meet lots of friends who have many different characters. I am taught by great lecturers. The lessons are very interesting. But I must confess, in this second semester I feel so tired because I take 25 credit hours. Now I just hope even though I feel tired, I can do the best and give my best in this semester.

I think that's all about me. I'm sorry if there are any mistakes in what I've written about myself. But I hope, this introduction can make you more know about who I am . Thank you so much. Have a nice Paragraph Writing Lesson!!!
