Hello, Ragaluh is here! Today I want
to tell you about great quote I have found today. Look at the picture.
It's should be think instead of thin. sorry
This quote was spoken by Steve Jobs,
the owner of Apple.Inc. the quote means that you should be daring enough if you
want to change the world. Even if you considered as crazy. You shouldn’t care
the hater who throwing out their hate to you. Just think you can change the
world, and show them that you can do it to achieve your dreams.
Hello,
this is Ragaluh! Today I want to share my experience in my interview today. I
was interviewing Mr. Firman, the additional math teacher in 3 Senior High. He
was notorious amongst students because of his great ways of teaching, but with
test that remarkably hard for every students that he made for.
I was
really interested how did he get become so famous in the education of
Indonesia, so managed to ask him some question when I’m started the interview.
If you wanna’ know about what did
I get? Here’s the answer, please read and give me a like!
Mr.
Firman worked as a teacher in 3 Senior High because he wanted to contribute in
the education of Indonesia. His motives to do so is that what does he think
that a great nation will be formed with a great education and education is the
key of success to our nation, Indonesia. He is also made a great achievement in
the school and his career; he is the best known personal amongst math teachers.
He’s chosen to teach teachers in Pasundan University who wants to countinue in
magisterium of mathematic degree. He is also wise despite that he has lower
grade than the other teachers.
He also
joined Association of Math Teachers of Indonesia and currently his position in
there is as a the president of organization. He is also got notorious for media
target about the development of education in Indonesia.
What
does he feel as a teacher is quite a great fun, a pride for him, and even
tiresome. For him, to be a great teacher should be always to watch your manners
and behaviors, then you can be respectful teacher for everyone.
He had a
disappointment for students these days. As they had lack of hard works, too
relaxed, pick the easy ways, and become lazier. He recommends to the students
to be a good, diligent, tough, hard working, creative, and honest.

Hello, its Ragaluh! Today I want to tell you my song
that themed with love, so I picked “Earth Song”, by Michael Jackson.
The meaning of this song is to make people more aware to
what have they done to our earth, so many destruction, extinction, sadness
spreading across the world. The song want to make us to know that the earth is
not a place that we can use and break. It’s our home and a home for our
descendants. If we keep doing this, we might leave our descendants in suffer
and naïve (they might don’t know the amazing things in the nature) because of
what have we done.
Here’s a video! Enjoy the clip and give me a like.
-------------------------------------------------------- Bandung Hotspot
Hello, I’m back! Now I will tell
you two of my favorites (and accessible) Bandung hot spots! And here’s the
description, hope you get interested! (I have a lot of favorite hotspot than
these two).
1.Trans
Studio Mall
At first it was named BSM (Bandung
Studio Mall), but the Trans.Corp made their amusement park called “Trans Studio
Park” close to this mall. Established and announced to public since 18th
of June 2011. And become a favorite amusement park and shopping center to many
peoples in Bandung. It is also had two hotels (Ibis and Trans Hotel) and a huge
mosque near it. Inside of it there are many rides that you should enjoy, like
the fastest roller coaster, Yamaha Racing Coaster, the ride duration only for
just few seconds, but can make you to freaked out during the ride. Or you can
watch movies in XXI cinema or enjoying some great delicacies in various
restaurant there.
If you get more excited, try to
spend your night in the hotels. But only for those whose homes are far from TSM
(not me, cause my home is just several meters (or short kilometers) away).
2.Bandung
Museum of Geology
Let’s get for educating place! For
my favorite, I advise you to go to Bandung Museum of Geology. The museum keeps
minerals, mining tools, and fossils for display. The history of life section
keeps fossils of animals of Indonesia, from land to sea. It is also keep a full
skeleton of Tyrannosaurus Rex (only a
replica of it). The museum also has mineralogy and mining section which shows
various kinds of rocks and mining tools (sadly I don’t interested to rocks and
mining, I am interested to paleobiology). The upper floor shows you its history
and geological stuffs like volcanoes, earthquake, and many more.
Hi,
Ragaluh is here!, now I want to tell you about my experience in the Asian
African Festival featuring “the sound of angklung”, a record breaking angklung (a
sundanese musical instruments) orchestra consisting of 20.000 peoples,
including me! Now here’s my story…
Yeah, man, there's lots of us! 20.000 of us!
We were
gathering at school at 06.30 am. Lots of our classmates were chatting to each
other about the events. We were wearing batik uniforms and hats. When Mr. Dudi
asked us to made a row, we got out, made a row, and waiting for more few late
students. After all we finished, we started our walk to Siliwangi Stadium.
We were
on our walk to Siliwangi Stadium, and there’s a huge row of crowding students
and teachers out there, we had to wait very long to enter the stadium. We had
to stand for the line, but I had to took some pictures, for English task form
Mrs. Wiwin (All the pictures for class is from me, please for my friends of X
IPA 2, mention the disclaimer!). And I also had some snack from indomaret food
truck (yes, the latest form of their method of selling foods). The row was too
long and too tight for everyone, so the committees had to made us to walk into
another way to make process went quickly.
What a huge lines of crowds!
We made
ourselves to the stadium, and got our shirt and angklung for us. We had to wait in the middle of the field for
the event to started. I heard the cicadas (a kind of noisy insect, called tonggeret or turais here) sang more louder as the sun went hotter and burned us
all. I even tried to hide under of my bag shadows! I also tried to took some
pictures to forgetting the heat. I took photos of the saung angklung udjo
audiences, 40 days of Europe angklung crews (they were KPA, our school’s
angklung club), and even a glimpse of our mayor and our governor!
The mayor, the governor, and the other important peoples. quite a chance to see them this close
Then,
the composer taught us to played angklung with right way under his command. He
started some warm ups by compose songs like “Manuk Dadali” (or garuda bird)”,
“Sweet Child of Mine”, and many more. ‘Till it came for the final song, “We are
the World”. The composers and the players tried their best broke the record. I
also tried my best, but the composer was too fast for me. Anyway, the event
ended successfully, and I had more tasks to do for my sport class…
the 40 days angklung crew, all of them are my schoolmates
That is
all from me, hope you enjoyed the blog, and give me some likes! Ciao!
Hi
everyone! It’s me, Ragaluh! Today I want to tell you my favorite natural
phenomenon, the great sardine run. Please read, enjoy, and give a like to my
blog!
Great
sardine run happens in South Africa every May and July. It happens when
billions of sardines (the notable species is Southern African Pilchard (Sardinops sagax)) migrating to spawn in
cool waters of the Agulhas Bank and move northward along the east coast of
South Africa. There’s billions of edible fishes there, but no people who catch
them, so the animals of the ocean that catch the fishes instead. The shoal of
sardines attracts millions of dolphins, sharks, birds, whales, and sea lions.
It’s quite dangerous and risky to catch the sardine, you will catch sharks,
dolphins, and birds instead of sardines, or getting hit by whales that tries to
surfacing to eat the sardines, or getting hit by the birds that plunge
themselves into the sea like torpedoes. Local peoples and resort managers use this
event for family recreation. They provide resting places and schedules where
you can see the amazing feeding frenzies in oceans of South Africa. You even
can book them in the Internet!
This
migration of sardines has been compared with the migration of the wildebeests
in Serengeti plains. With the highest biomass in Africa. Lots of animals come
there to hunt these sardines they are:
1. Mammals
- Common Dolphin
- Bottlenose Dolphin
- Bryde’s Whale
- Fur seal
2. Fish
- Bronze whaler
- Dusky shark
- Grey nurse shark
- Blacktip reef shark
- Spinner shark
- Marlin
- Sailfish
- Bluefish
- King Mackerel
- Eastern Little Tuna
3. Birds
- Cape Ganet
- Cape Cormorant
- Tern
- Sea gull
- African penguin

That is all from me about my
favorite natural phenomenon. Thank you for reading!
P.S : I’m have no time to
rearrange the blog.

--------------------------------------- MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
My name is
Ragaluh Dewantara. You can call me Raga, Ragaluh or whatever you want (don’t
try to call me with a bad name). I was born in Bandung at 15th of
March 1999. My father is Ir. Mochamad Irfan. He is 45 years old and he works
asengineer. My mother is Irtita
Marliana .SPh. She is 41 years old and she works as government worker. I’m the
first child of two siblings. I have a sister and her name is Rauliana Sukma.
She is 13 years old and she studies in 5 junior high school. My recent house
location is on Margahayu Raya Block O2 number 23. I’m 15 years old and I
studies in 3 senior high school.
When I was born
in Al-Islam hospital. Me and my parents formerly lived in Griya Bandung Indah.
I was raised by my parents and my aunts in that place. They taught a lot of
thing to me. At that time, my grandparents sometimes made a visit in my house.
I also got a lot neighbours in that place. Later, when I wasyears old, my parents registered me to Alamanda
Playground. But, I was dropped out because of my bad behavior at the
playground. Then, my parents registered me to Sabili Kindergarten. When I was
there, I met so many new friends and teachers. Along with my studies, I also
grew older and gaining more experience.
Until 2005, I
finally finished my study at Sabili Kindergarten. My parents registered me to
Karang Pawulang elementary school. At there I met even more new friends and
teachers. I learned a lot of new things, subjects, and experience as I was in
elementary school. I tried to change my behavior as the time continued. Then,
in the beginning of 2010, I was 6th grade. My parents tried to help
me to understood about the National Exam. They registered me to a famous
additional lesson group to improve my intelligence. As time continued, I worked
very hard so I can get registered to a famous junior high school in Bandung, 5
junior high school. At the time of the National exam. I tried my best to finish
the exam. Until the announcement of the national exam score, I got good score
enough to pass the requirements to access 5 junior high school. But at that
time, the school was regarded as “RSBI”. So I should keep studying for the
passing test. At the time of the passing test, I found that the test was quite
easy. I finally accepted as 5 junior high school student.
At the first time
in the junior high school, I met a lot of new friends and teachers. I also
found a lot of new things in this place. At the first time of studying in
junior high school, I could handle anything but math. I didn’t really
understand the math in junior high school standards. But my parents tried to
help to understood until I could handle it. As years passed I could learn about
serious hazards in life such bully, emotional pressure, and many more. At the
time when I was 9th grade, the “RSBI” mark of my school was removed.
Then a lot of changes including the starting of 2013 curriculum. But I can
stood the condition. I learned for the second time I faced the national exam.
This time, I tried to access 3 senior high school. I then registered to the
same additional learning group when I was elementary school. I tried my best
until the time of the national exam started the second time for me. After
finishing the test, at the announcement of the score, I good a score again in for
the second time I passed the national exam. I finally registered to 3 senior
high school. Then after a long time, I finally accessed the 3 junior high
school and my new life will be started from now on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Unforgettable Experience: Gaming Addiction
Hi, everybody! It’s me, Ragaluh. Today I want to tell my unforgettable experience. It is a really annoying experience, but also funny at the same time. So, let's get into the story. Enjoy, and please like my blog! :)
It's happened when 22th of July 2014. When I played my favorite video game, Minecraft. At that time, there were two events would happen. One is the announcement of my sister national exam score and another is my uncle's family would visit my house and stayed for one night. At the time when my sister score announcement, my sister and me were surprised. My sister got the second best high score in Bandung. My sister and me were very happy, so we planned to roast some corns with my uncle's family tonight. When my family knew they arrived at our house, we shared the joy.
Minecraft, a game made by a Swedish programmer named Markus Persson. It is a very fun yet addictive video game for people in any age. INCLUDING FIRA AND NAZWA are very addicted to this game
There's one thing that I would like to tell to all readers in my blog that I usually like to introduce my favorite thing (it can be a books, movies, video games, etc.) to my close relatives. But I don't expect that this one can be unforgettable experience. Back at the time when I celebrating my sister's success with my families. I introduced my favorite video game to my two younger cousins. Named Fira and Nazwa. They felt interested on the video game. Bad thing happened when they just asking me to end my turn in annoying way. They’re quite stubborn until i should turn of my laptop to stop them from whining. It happened for one night and one day until they go home.
Until……………
When we were gathering at my grandparents’ home for celebration of Ied Al Fitri, we met a lot of relatives including a lot of cousins. One of them was named Caesar (pronounced kaesar not Caesar). He had a lot of in common with me although he still 8th grade junior high school and he was my favorite cousin. I forget to tell to all readers what is the annoying experience, right? Let me tell you from the start. Before I went to my grandparents’ home I brought my laptop so I could play it when I’m bored or just wanted to play together with my cousin. But, when I already brought the laptop, I had a bad feeling about my two younger cousins. I feared that they would terrorize me with their impatient behavior and lack of wait-for-turn-to-play. When I just arrived at grandparents’ home and turn on the laptop, the annoying thing happened…
Yes, they whining again to asked me to play on their turn first even I’m about to turn on the laptop.
This is what did my cousins do in Minecraft video game
Then, I stopped playing to prevent them from doing their annoying whine. Then my cousin, Caesar, told me that this was happened to him until I brought the laptop. Then we made any plan that could make us play in safe, peaceful place without those annoying two little girls. But we always spotted by them. It happened for five days. Until they went back to their home, we’re free only for one day. Next day my family and I went back home. From that experience, I promise not to introduce video games to the younger person because they cannot manage when to play or not. Because they should know what much important other than video games or not to bother other person when they are sharing turns to play.
Hello! This is Ragaluh and I will tell
you about my experience in a greatest event in Bandung ever, Matswapati!!Have you ever been
there? If not, let me tell you how Matswapati event is. So enjoy reading my
journal and please like my blog!
Matswapati is cultural festival located
in Lapangan Bali, near musical garden (Taman Musik) and 5 Senior High School.
It is celebrated by the government of Bandung and 3 Senior High School in order
to introduce and preserve Sundanese culture. The event involves some guest star
and communities like IBC,
Wayang Golek Harja, and many more..here’s a preview of the event by the
poster.
Well about my experience, the event
happened yesterday, At 27th of September 2014. It was a fun, great,
but also most exhausting experience, hehe. I woke up at 04:00 a.m. to prepare
myself. I went to the event at 05:30 a.m. by car. After 06:00 a.m., I arrived
in front of 3 Senior High School and walked to Lapangan Bali. I met my friends
there, preparing everything for the parade (yeah, parade was the first thing to
do in this event).after we prepared everything, we were forced by the event
organizers to move to the street and made a line with other classes. We had to
wait a little bit of time for arranging the parade. After everything was ready,
we moved along the street to show anyone about the Matswapati event. We walked
along the street and promoting about the event (Although our way to promote was
not as good as our neighboring class, X science 3 -_-).At the end time of the
parade, we watched a show made by a group of martial artist, they showing some
skill like immunity skill. I saw them being hit by whip, smashing and breaking
hard things with their heads. It looked hurt but I enjoyed it (do I being such
a cruel person?).
Then we back to our stand in Lapangan
Bali, our stand provided logic games that would interesting to anyone who felt
challenged to solve it. Our stand also representArjuna, one of wayang heroes.
Then, I went to the food court to bought some drinks and a hamburger. After I finished
eating, I walked around the stands and the field and saw some firefighters spraying some water to clear out the dust, and
then I went behind the stands to took a rest under the trees (I got slept
there, hehe, sorry). Then I took a walk again and saw many dancers, theatre
players, and musician there. Don’t forget to mention wayang player too. I
enjoyed their show and I really liked them. I went to other stands and saw they
how did they attract visitors.
It was such a long time in the event,
sometimes I went to the food court to ate and go to the nearest mosque to pray,
as the event lasted, I also took some pictures from the event (I’ll show you
later). Then at 04:00 p.m., there some shows from Panorama, their show are very interesting, I liked how did they
sang some songs. Then at 06:00 p.m., I waited for the famous singer, Glenn
Fredly! Wow, this was a rare moment for me, I rarely met celebrity before. I
enjoyed much his show with my friends;some of songs he sang is Malaikat juga tahu, Masih Jomblo, You Are My
Everything, and many more. It was one ofmy unforgettable experience.
The
show and the event were ended, but there are some martial art group that show
some of their immunity skill like test their strength by cutting their neck
with knife (they still survived, I swear), fire breathing, hitting their bodies
with burning stick, and ate some hot charcoals. I felt a little bit scared with
them. Then I went home at 08:00 p.m.
That
is all I can tell to you sorry for my mistakes. Before you leave this blog, let’s
take a look about the pictures I took.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Story: The Heron and The Hummingbird, A Native American Folklore
Hi! It is me, Ragaluh Dewantara. Today, I want to
tell you a story, the story tells why do the hummingbirds eat nectar and the
herons eat fish. It is similar to Aesop’s The
Hare and The Tortoise, but made by Native Americans. This is a good story; I
hope you are interested to read it. (Also, please like my blog!)
Heron and Hummingbird were very good friends, even though one
was tall and gangly and awkward and one was small and sleek and fast. They both
loved to eat fish. The Hummingbird preferred small fish like minnows and Heron
liked the large ones.
One day, Hummingbird said to his friend: "I am not sure
there are enough fish in the world for both of our kind to eat. Why don't we
have a race to see which of us should own the fish?"
Heron thought that was a very good idea. They decided that they
would race for four days. The finish line was an old dead tree next to a
far-away river. Whichever of them sat on top of the tree first on the fourth
day of the race would own all the fish in the world.
They started out the next morning. The Hummingbird zipped along,
flying around and around the Heron, who was moving steadily forward, flapping
his giant wings. Then Hummingbird would be distracted by the pretty flowers
along the way. He would flit from one to the other, tasting the nectar. When
Hummingbird noticed that Heron was ahead of him, he hurried to catch up with
him, zooming ahead as fast as he could, and leaving Heron far behind. Heron
just kept flying steadily forward, flapping his giant wings.
Hummingbird was tired from all his flitting. When it got dark,
he decided to rest. He found a nice spot to perch and slept all night long. But
Heron just kept flying steadily forward all night long, flapping his giant
wings.
When Hummingbird woke in the morning, Heron was far ahead.
Hummingbird had to fly as fast as he could to catch up. He zoomed past the big,
awkward Heron and kept going until Heron had disappeared behind him. Then
Hummingbird noticed some pretty flowers nearby. He zip-zipped over to them and
tasted their nectar. He was enjoying the pretty scenery and didn't notice Heron
flap-flapping passed him with his great wings.
Hummingbird finally remembered that he was racing with Heron,
and flew as fast as he could to catch up with the big, awkward bird. Then he
zipped along, flying around and around the Heron, who kept moving steadily
forward, flapping his giant wings.
For two more days, the Hummingbird and the Heron raced toward
the far-distant riverbank with the dead tree that was the finish line.
Hummingbird had a marvelous time sipping nectar and flitting among the flowers
and resting himself at night. Heron stoically kept up a steady
flap-flap-flapping of his giant wings, propelling himself forward through the
air all day and all night.
Hummingbird woke from his sleep the morning of the fourth day,
refreshed and invigorated. He flew zip-zip toward the riverbank with its dead
tree. When it came into view, he saw Heron perched at the top of the tree!
Heron had won the race by flying straight and steady through the night while
Hummingbird slept.
So
from that day forward, the Heron has owned all the fish in the rivers and
lakes, and the Hummingbird has sipped from the nectar of the many flowers which
he enjoyed so much during the race.
That s all from me, and thanks to these great peoples who like to share their art and story!
Hello,
this is me, Ragaluh! Today I want to share you my holiday experience, well some
of greatest of mine hehe… so please enjoy and give a like to my blog.
In the
first four days of holiday, we went to Malaysia and Singapore; we went there
with my mom, sister and Mrs. Elly, my mom’s best friend who also had two sons
with her husband. It was really fun and a little bit of annoying experience.
The first day we went to Malaysia, the place that I saw in Malaysia was Batu
Cave. The cave was medium sized (that was I thought) and it was very high that
they made a veeeeery long stairway to get there. So we just took some pictures and
get look at some souvenirs. Plus, I want to tell you, when I visited the place,
there were hundreds of pigeons that flew and walked around, their droppings and
feathers made this place looked messy. Something that I felt disappointed
toward this place. After that we went to a watch shop I saw so many watches
there (absolutely) and I just realized that I tickled and chased by Mrs. Elly’s
sons. Then we made a long journey to go to the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. When
we arrived there, we visited the National Monument and took photos there for a
short time, and then we visited the Independence square and its museum. We saw
how amazing the light and miniature show inside of the museum. We also bought
some souvenirs in the gift shop. We visited the National Mosque and pray there.
Then we went to shop some other souvenirs in duty free shop. At night when we
were close by the hotel, we stopped by an Arabic restaurant. We ordered some
food there, but the waiter asked repeatedly that we were sure with our choice.
We felt confused cause there was something weir with the waiter. After the food
was delivered, we realized that the food was jumbo sized, and we ordered them
for each person, we were shocked and didn’t know how to finish the food, so we
left a lot of leftovers, what a pity. We made ourselves to the Furama hotel and
rest for the next day.
The
third day, we prepared our stuffs to checked out from the hotel. We went to
Johor Bahru, the area where LEGOLAND located. We went through a long journey to
get there. I slept during the journey. After that we arrived at the LEGOLAND.
We had lunch in nearby restaurant and went in through the main entrance. When
we entered in, there was many Lego structures, miniatures, and Lego based
buildings. We took a lot of pictures and enjoy many rides in there. We also saw
some famous merchandise from Lego, most based on cartoons like Star Wars, Legends of Chima, Ninjago,
and there’s also based from my favorite video game, Minecraft. After bought some merchandise, we went to a huge mall
(ugh! Still not remember the name, how forgetful I am L) and went shopping (but I wasn’t
shopping). After waiting the ladies to shopping. Wewent to a new hotel, Bayu Marina Hotel. We
arrived there and rest.
The
fourth day we prepared and checked out from the hotel, and we went to
Singapore. It was quite surprising that it took a short time to get to the
Singapore and it was bay car! Our first destination was Marina Bay Sand, we
went the top of the building, the place was famous because of its “Sky Park”.
We saw amazing view of Singapore city. We also saw our next destinations up
there. It was the most thrilling and amazing view of civilization I’ve ever
seen. Then we visited the Merlion Park, the place of the Merlion statue. We
took pictures there and went to fountain of wealth. We just took pictures there
for a short time. And then we went to Bugis road (I not sure that the road was
name after the bugis tribe in Indonesia or the bugis people made the community
in that place or… arrgh nevermind!) we took a look and the ladies went to shop
again. After wait to shop (again). We went to our final destination, Garden by
the Bay, greatest Botanical garden I’ve ever seen. It was filled with
extraordinary floras from the whole world. The garden was colorful, mainly green
but also added with other colors. It’s also had a huge man made waterfall. We
also saw that this place tell us to be environmental friendly in our life. We
bought some souvenirs in the gift shop. We headed to the Changi Airport, where
we will go home to Indonesia, our homeland. You should that we rode Air Asia
plane and we went back at the same night when another Air Asia plane QZ8501 was
crashed and lost. My mom knew it from my friend. She was worried about
everyone’s safety including her own family (that’s me and my sister). But
fortunately, we made it to our hometown in Indonesia, West Java, Bandung. That
was the greatest experience in this holiday.
The next
week of my holiday was spent on home. In the first day of the week, I went to
school to give the SKS paper that I’ve filled to my teacher. After that I just
hung out with NK club members to play video games together. At that day too my
relatives came from Bekasi to stayed for two nights and one day. We were having
great time together. We were roasting some chicken satay in New Year eve, we
went to Trans Studio Mall and watched Night
at the Museum 3. The movie we watched was pretty hilarious. We enjoyed
watching it. Then we went home and rest together. The next day, they went home.
The days after their leave, I usually watching TV with my sister and play my
favorite video games, Minecraft and Rayman Origins. We usually watched
cartoons, comedies, anime, and nature show. At the last three days we went to
Cianjur to met our grandparents and relatives. And I met Fira and Najwa again
(well they reduced their interest to minecraft, but got interested in rayman). And
annoyed me again, thankfully they weren’t annoying as I met them last holiday. We
were having fun together until the last day of the holiday. By the way here's the picture of my holiday: -Malaysia and Singapore tour:
