What if you leave me right here?
I’m right here and waiting for you?

What if by Mocca. Mocca is  indie bands from Bandung, Indonesia. This group consist of Riko Prayitno (gitar), Arina Ephipania (vokal dan flute), Achmad Pratama (bass), dan Indra Massad (drum). Almost of Mocca’s song is story telling. It makes every listener will going inside by the rhythm. So does this song, Mocca try to express someone feeling when someone (I will say she for the next) want to make perfect for her relationship. But, actually with her willing to make it perfect is anxiety. Sometimes, our willingness make blindness. Who bring blindness? It is our self. Back to “she” problems, she was thinking harder about what happen after she did anything to him. She afraid he will go away. This feeling happen naturally, but she must control it.

Sometimes dreams is making brighter but sometimes making darkness. Think logically as your lighter. And you will not be “she”.

MY REFLECTION a year ago

I wrote it around one year ago. My ESL teacher asks me to make monthly journal.  And “Who am I” as the beginning. and this is what I have written on that…

                I am Safira Idofia Jakfar. I called my self with name Dofi. I was born in Lumajang, 12^th December 1995. I am a thin girl with brown skin and blunt nose. I am a Muslim. I am daughter from M. Zakfar  Sodiq and Iin Bathiningsasi. I am elder sister from Kindah Sari Afisah Zakfar. I like music, photograph, science, and IT. I am is fans of Sheila On 7. I like to take a picture about everything around me. I like learn about reality. I am the one who easily to ashamed. I didn’t like cat, ghost movie, judge-man, and to much speak up. About my hope. I want to make my parents and my family  proud of me. I want to be a people that bring happiness for other people around me. I want to make a changes to this world and Indonesia!. I have motto that always give spirit to me “Man Shabara Zhafira” everyone who be patient so she or he will be the luckiest person. Thanks to people around me that help me to show Who am I… 

Reading this and write it a again, make me laughing by myself. It seems I felt the most feelings of diary writer when they open their old diary.

Call it Footstep

           12 December 1995 at 3.30 p.m. Is my fIrst tIme to breath the oxygen by myself.  I was forgot how It look lIke. The next few days, my parent gIve a name to me. SafIra IdofIa jakfar, Is my long name and my parents decIde to call me dofI. SInce that tIme, my envIroment call me wIth the same name. When I was chIld I ever beIng a quIte chIld, because I just talk necessary. I also ever beIng a very naughty chIld, because I just have boyfrIensd arround me, and I as felt comfortable when I was palyIng wIth them than wIth my gIrlfrIend. My parent decIde to movIng or home because they worrIed wIth my attItude later on. When I 5^th, my mother enterIng me on kIndergarten, It Is located near wIth my mother offIce. In that tIme, I was start to decrease my bad atItude. I don’t know the factor. When I almost 7^th, I was elementry school. It qIute dIfferent wIth my kIndergarten locatIon, II was located In the town, and my house Is InI vIllage. So, sInce that tIme I must to wake up earlIer than before.

         My elementry school Is IslamIs and full day school. So, I take lunch and prayIng dzuhur In the school. Wake up at 5 o’clok than prepare everytIngs, at 6 o’clock I must go to school. Every day I go to school by bIcycle wIth my father. I go home at 3.30 and arIve at home at 4 o’clock. I do It everyday. I ever move fromthI school to another scholl wIth the same (IslamIc and full day) but dIfferent In base system. The problem start when I have sIck for a month, my parent thInk that I very tIred. Altough my fIrst elementry school Is full day school but they stIll gIve homework to us (student). DIfferent wIth my new school they very avoId for gIvIng homework. They wIll gIve when theur student ask or they need. I move at 2^nd semester of thIrd grade. I never told to my frIend In my fIrst elementry school. And they very suprIsed when my teacher told that I have moved.  For the fIrst tIme, I’m not really happy or not. But, I try to do It because my lIve must be go on.

         In my new elementry school, I stIll have frIend. And In my begInnIng, I get funny story. One of my frIend express hIs feelIng to me. He bought me manykInd of snack. He often do It, untIl he and hIs frIends come to me and  express hIs feelIng to me In front of gIrls toIlet. I was afraId and confused, because I don;t know waht should I do. And I just can to cry. He tought that my cry Is the meanIng of I rejected hIs feelIn to me. SInce that tIme, my InteractIon wIth hIm Is very bad and we almost never havIng InteractIon each other. When I sIxth grade, I really concentratIon for my natIonal examInatIon. So, I really decraesed my useless actIvIty. FInally, I can accepted on the best junIor hIgh school In my cIty.

         In my junIor hIgh school, I need to adaptIon. I It was hard for me, there are so many factors. FIrst, frIends. All of my elemntry school frIends In bIllIngual class and I’m the only one In regular class. My father not allowed me beIng bIllIngual student. He thought It stIll experIment class. I ever depressIon wIth thIs condItIon. I really feel as junIor hIgh school student when eIght grade and nInth grade. But I more lIke my nInth tIme than my eIght tIme. In my nInth tIme, I feel very close to all my classmate. And my frIends feel the same. We are harmonIous. And In the end of tIme, my class beIng the hIghest standart for nInth grade In my school. We are so proud, at least we can proove If we can be the best altough we are a regular student.

In my senoIr hIgh school, my father wIll not accompany me agaIn for gIng to school. Because, I accepted In a dorm school system another cIty. I got scholars from one educatIonal foundatIoan. So, my parent no need to pay me school and my lIvIng cost. That thIngs are Include In my scholarshIp. I stIll In way of my senIor hIgh school.

 Those all what I call footstep....

Controversy between Teachers and Students

Controversy between Teachers and Students

Teacher is someone that teach the student and make the student know more than before. And students are someone still in learning process or study what they need to study. But in this case, student can be the teacher, so does the teacher can be the student.

Based on that statement both of student or teacher can change their job. Teacher can be the teacher when they take schooling again. It was clear. But, it still difficult to find cases when student teach their teacher. It still un-usual behavior in education environment. Especially in Indonesia.

In other side, when the student teach their teacher it can make the teacher more professionals. Because, wisely they heard what they student opinion. And sometimes the student’s opinion never thought by the teacher.

Want to teach here means giving suggestion or critic or opinion. Every student have it. But, most of them just keep it in their mind. They don’t want hurt their teacher. It goods for the teacher to try to respecting the student’s opinion. And it can make a good communication both of them.

Are we too dependent to computer?

              I think that it’s true. Because, today computer is very useful and helpful for us. And computer would be the necessity for everybody. Young, old, students, worker, parents, all of them need it. Why do they need it? What does computer give to the user? First, we need computer because it can make easier our task. For typing, making advertisement, listening some musics, watching some movies or just gaming and also searching some information if it is connected to the internet.

                With all of the benefits of using computer naturally people interest with it. It can make people finish task early. So, they can do another activities. And using computer as coworkers need less energy than do not use computer. With computer everything can be effective and efficient. Have you ever think how tired we are when there isn’t computer?

                 But, for using computer we need more money to have it. And also when we wanna connect to the internet. And when people are too dependent at computer it can make people lazy, and several diseases. They can be effected your eyes, neck, bones, and also your nerve.

        I already mentioned the computer from two sides. Now is your turn to choose which side do you start.

Who is in favor of homework???

 

Who is in favor of homework???

 

Homework has the same meaning with task, assignment and also exercise. Usually homework is given by the teacher for their student. Their homework should be have done in their home or in everywhere except in the school. Homework already being an educational culture. Especially in indonesia. I have felt having homework since i am in my junior high school. Before it, i never having homework. Because of  i’m in full day school. It’s the rule if the full day school are not allowed to have any kind of homework. But, how about today. Here is a few of good side and bad side of homework it self.

for the teacher, homework is for exerciser their student while the studying in their home. Some student have many kind of type of studying. Some of them are effective to study when they have homework. Because it can be their exerciser. For the student, during they do their homework they also study from that kind of homework. For both of them, it just like a communicator. Via homework the teacher will be know clearly the ability of each student. And the student will be more helped by the teacher, because they know which is the best way for each student.

Although homework has many benefit for both of the student and the teacher, but it still reap cons. Many student think if the homework very take up their time so much. I think not just for the student but for the teacher also take up their time to correcting their student homework. And nowadays, although the student are full day school student they still have homework. It will add their fatigue. As a student they also need time for having rest. And sometimes the teacher are giving the homework un-normally.

So, the homework very good for student and also for the teacher when they giving and doing that kind of homework in proper.
