What Kind of Music Defines You?

Since I was like 10 years old up until now there's probably no day in my life where I haven't listened to music. I think I'm the kind of guy who likes all sorts of music. From classic, acoustic, rock, to EDM, pop, rap, whatever. If I think it's good I'll listen to those stuff. But that's not what I want to talk about in this post. I want to answer a question. What kind of music defines me?

That is one of the hardest questions of life, man. I mean, seriously. How am I suppose to pick one kind when I like to listen to like all of them? Well you know what I'll try to answer it anyway so let's see how it goes.

First of all, to me, music is a media to tell stories. Music is a way of sharing. So with that being said, I think I'll definitely rule out EDM. I only like EDM because it gives you the fun and the hype and the sort of "togetherness" when you're amongst your friends jumping to it. But it's kinda hard to tell stories with it. I mean there are a lot of EDM songs that have lyrics on them but it doesn't really hit you as hard as other kinds of music. So yeah, EDM definitely does not define me.

Enough blabbering. Let's just get to it. I think the music that defines me the most is rock. But not like the heavymetal rock stuff. I hate it to be frank. I guess I'm more like the alternative, British rock kinda guy. Okay, so why do I love rock? Because it's awesome. Why do I think it's awesome? Maybe it's because I grew up listening to rock. Bands like Paramore, Simple Plan, Muse, 30SecondstoMars, they're definitely on my list. Oh yeah and there's this really cool Japanese-English rock band that I only started to listen recently (and I regret that). It's called OneOKRock and be sure to check them out.

So yeah, rock is the music that defines me. What kind of music defines you guys? Comment it down below or you can even send me a link to your blog and I'll be sure to read it. See y'all...

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...

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...

What's Next?

It's been a long time since I've written another post. A lot of things have happened since then. I believe the last time I posted something on this blog, I was in the middle of my studies and I was in no mood of sharing anything to any medium or audience whatsoever. I was in a bit of a hectic situation and my focus was all over the place. But thankfully, now that things have settled down, I want to write a blog post that serves as an update and also as a sharing medium where I intend to put my plans for the future on the table for everyone to see. I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve through doing that but I hope it could and would give you readers out there a tiny bit of something. In terms of my current academic situation, well, there is none. I am now thankfully free of any academic situation. I've finished all my duties in high school and I as of the 13th of May I have officially graduated from High School. It's been a wild 3 years and I really feel...
