Friends & Trust

I only have a few friends. I mean at my school there's about 320 people in my year alone and I do know most of them. But I wouldn't say that I have a lot of friends. I have a lot of acquaintance, yes. But not a lot of friends. And the very reason for this is trust.

 I'm just that kind of guy who doesn't like to be disappointed by the people that I trust. Especially if I trust them a lot. And my preventive action to that is sort of qualifying the people that I know so I'm sure I'm being friends with the people that I can actually trust.

 In Indonesia, having a a few friends is not really good in the social point of view. In fact if I were to say so myself, being an introvert or showing too many acts of introversion is like a social crime. My teacher once called me arrogant and selfish because I don't have a lot of friends. And that same exact teacher would probably still say the same now. The thing is that those people don't understand how it feels to be betrayed. To have your biggest secrets trusted to someone only so that they could spread it to the whole wide world. To have them entrusted with an important task so that they could deliberately fail you. It just sucks.

 I just thought that I would post a little something concerning this topic. So the point is, I'd rather have like 5 actual friends than 1000 people who I call "friends" but in the end fail me.

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 ...

Do you take notes in class?

Hi! It's been a hell of a long time, hasn't it? But here I am, finally back again. You know those people who make Blogs, writes on them, until they finally get either tired or bored or busy and their Blog gets deserted like the most quiet part of the Sahara? Well the first time I decided to make this Blog I was determined to not become that type of person. Anyway, I'm not really into a deep, philosophical talking right now. I'm in a more of a trivial mood if there even is such a thing. And in having this mood, a question just hatched at the top of my head. Do you take notes in class? I mean seriously. Do you take notes when you're studying or do you make notes of what your teacher writes on tho front board? Because I do. But I never revisit my notes. I have a number of friends that like to take notes of everything that has been either spoken or written in class. Some of them even go to extensive methods when it comes to note-taking e.g. buying expensive statione...
