When a Sound has No Meaning, it's Called Noise

You do notice those buggers who always give critiques whatever you do, good or bad, don't you? At least I do notice them. Most of the time they really really bug me. Well i mean i do a lot of things wrong but that doesn't give them justification to keep throwing rocks at me. Let alone those times when i actually did something right. I'm always considered as someone weird and absurd at school so this happens a lot to me. My dearest friends would tell me to just ignore them and move on. But you just simply can't ignore external stimulation can you? Especially if you're an introvert like me. So how are you suppose to get through this? This is how i do it.

1. Keep your head down and walk away or don't answer. This gives them affirmation that you aren't listening. That way, they'll think twice whenever they want to do the same thing.
2. Fight back (with your HEAD). Take  to them an argument. You need to use your intelligence so that you make sure you nail the argument. One of the most important things that you need to remember during this is that you need to stay calm. And when i mean calm I do mean CALM.
3. Reflect on the good things you've done and the things you've done right. I'm sure after the shit stuff they told you you're gonna feel bad about the things you've done wrong. Well to me that's not entirely a bad thing. But what you also need to remember is that you have also done lots of things right so don't let it creep into you.

I guess it's already a fact that ignoring is hard as f**k. But once your used to it, you'll understand just how powerful the power of ignorance is. Have a nice day, lads!

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...

High School: Initial Thoughts

I haven't been blogging for like 2 months. And I apologise for that (even though I'm not quite sure whether I have any loyal readers out there). But anyway, let me update you about my current situation. So I graduated from middle school or junior high school or whatever (which is a good thing) and I graduated with relatively great grades (which is a very good). I then applied for the best high school in Yogyakarta (in terms of passing grade) and I eventually made it. I am incredibly grateful for that series of very fortunate events. But I can't help but feel a bit nervous and scared of what's to come. Now I don't know how big of a fish I am. But what I know is that I chose to be in the big pond and I currently am in the big pond. Not only that, but I'm also in this pond with loads of other fishes. None of them seems to be friendly. There are threats that I might not perform well or that I might look like a complete idiot just because I chose to be among the ge...

Finals Story

So around this week, every single junior high school in Indonesia are having their finals. Although not at the exact same time, but yeah. In my school, the finals will be held from last Friday to next Thursday with an exception of Sunday because it's obviously a holiday (Saturday's not a holiday in Indonesia. Sad. I know). Anyway because there's only going to be one exam subject for tomorrow when every other day except for tomorrow's got two and tomorrow's subject happens to be English, I thought that instead of properly studying I'd write a blogpost tonight. So I guess I'll tell you what has been happening since the first day of finals. So at the first day, the subjects were Bahasa Indonesia and Islamic Studies. Bahasa Indonesia has been always relatively easy to complete. I'm sure the majority of students completed it in around 30-45 minutes when the rules say you basically have to pass at least 1 hour and 50 minutes to be able to submit your work an...
