A Little Update...

So I guess it's fair t say that I haven't visited this blog in ages (let alone writing and posting anything on this vlog). Before I left this blog for quite a while, the last thing I did was writing this South-East Asia journal and posting it so that you guys can read it. But I guess trying to remember the events and retelling them takes a long time and is not exactly worth my time. So I had an idea to make this blog a place where I could write my ideas. I think this is a good idea because... Well to give you the answer I need to tell you guys a bit about myself.
So I was born in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. But before I reached the age of 1, my parents decided to study in Perth, Australia so they basically had to take the whole family (plus me and my brother) with them. I lived there for the next 6 years. I grew up amongst Australians. I grew up with (more or less) their accent, their mindset, etc. On 2007, I went back to Yogyakarta. When I went "home" (at that time I don't really remember where my family lived because I was so young before I went to Australia) I literally didn't have the feeling that I was home. Because I always thought that I live in Australia. Basically I had a hard time adapting with Indonesia. The language, the culture, the mindset, etc. Up until now I still have a few disagreements about some things.
So in this blog I'd like to share what I actually think about things that are happening in my country, Indonesia. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing but trust my intentions are pretty much like all Indonesians. I love my country and I want to see it be better in the future. So I'm really looking forward to post my ideas to this blog. I guess that's it for now. I'll see you real soon, guys...

Speech Script: Being an Introvert

Hey, Guys. I thought I'll share another speech script today. I used this script when I was competing in a competition held by a Senior High in Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Area. I got 1st in that competition so I think this one is pretty good. And I also wanna say that in this speech script I slipped in a little personal story of mine. So it's gonna be a little hard if you're going to copy it haha... So here you go. I’ve always felt that I’m different compared to most people. At least compared to most students in my school. On break time, they like to gather in groups and gossip about someone or chat about the current trends. I prefer not to. If I necessarily have to get involved in a group chat outside my class, I always try not to do the unnecessary. Not to talk too much. Some people say that I’m shy and weird. Some even say I’m arrogant and antisocial. The truth is, I’m an “introvert”. So ladies and gentlemen, the honourable judges, and my fellow competitors, this morn

Creating Contents and Getting it Out

Whether it's writing, typing, or making videos, getting stories out there into the public is a form of content creating. The stories in the form of words that you write or type and the videos that you film and produce will be seen by people and therefore your content would serve it's purpose. It could be an entertaining story, or something that has educational value, or anything. Content creating is very fun and it could "force" you to keep pushing your boundaries until you find new ones. Personally, I am a big fan of content creating. Youtube videos, blog writings, news, all that sort of stuff. I think it's one of the easiest ways of sharing positivity to other people around the world (although there are definitely pricks out there who uses this opportunity to spread negativity and fear). As long as you're contents are intended to affect people positively, content creating and content sharing would have so many benefits not only to the creator, but also to

My Not So Professional Take on Indonesia's Education System

    So recently I just had this little realisation. I was about to call it an epiphany but I thought using that word would be a dramatisation, so for the moment let's just call it a minor realisation. So I live in Indonesia which if you don't know already, is a developing country. We have so many things to be proud about like our astonishingly diverse culture and our unique culinary taste. But education isn't one of those things. Education is far from those things. Like our education sucks. I don't exactly know the reason to that. I mean I haven't done a research or anything but I might have some ideas and hypotheses to the situation. The human resource, the gap between islands Firstly, I think the problem comes from the not-so-advanced framework of the whole education system itself. Indonesia comes 4th globally in terms of population. There's about 250 million of us. And yet, our education system doesn't have enough human resource to support
