I Think You Have to Read This Book | Paper Towns by John Green

John Green's Paper Towns is awesome! I know there's been a loot of people criticizing this book on the internet and saying that it's similar to Looking for Alaska but for me it actually is awesome. This book tells a story about a guy named Quentin Jacobsen who was childhood friends with a girl named Margo Roth Spiegelman. One day Margo mysteriously vanished from the face of the Earth but she left what might seem to be clues for Q. So then Q decided to chase her and find out who Margo really was.

For me, the good part about this book is that it has touches of mystery solving stuff goin' on and I like mystery solving clues kinda stuff. And another thing is that it's filled with philosophy and metaphor kinda stuff. I mean honestly I didn't anticipate this but I also like metaphor philosophy stuff so hell yeaa.
One of the downsides that I felt is at the beginning, when you don't really know what's goin' on you get kinda confused and a little bored (maybe that's just me but I'm being honest here. But when you finally get the rhythm of the story then you just can't stop reading (maybe that's just me but that really happened).

Anyway I really recommend you to read this book. And besides, the movie comes up in June or July or something so you know, you might wanna feel that amazing sensation of reading the actual book before you get to watch the film. Again I've heard some people say that they're disappointed after reading this book but really I guess it just goes down to your taste and what kind of person you are and your perspective and those kinda stuff because to me, again, it actually is awesome.

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
