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...

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...
