What I Will (Probably) Do in the Future

Speaking about what my future plan is, well, I have lots and lots of them. There are so many plans and I'm excited about them all. However, I will only tell you one of them.

Okay, I love shopping and buying things. I know this is a pretty expensive habit and it's not too good. So, I think "Why don't I just start my own shop? It will be more profitable and I will still get some things I want too." It is a clever idea isn't it? Beside that, I have a friend that will also be interested in being my business partner. I imagine that we will open a shop that provide premium clothing brands for youngsters like Affends, Johnny Cupcakes, Macbeth, or Altamont, along with our own brand and other local brands. There will be t-shrts, shirt, skirt, dress, jackets, etc. I want this shop to be a place where girls could shop for anything they need in fashion, for any style. Whether you are a punk-rock princess or a ballerina, you will find something that will fit you just perfect. We will also provide custom and branded footwear there. Sneakers, high heels, sandals, etc. We will sell Nikes, Vans, Lacostes, etc.

This idea came to me because I love shopping and dressing up. I also see that most of the shop or clothing here haven't create a shop especially for girl. I can take this as an advantage. It's time for girls to have their own place! Go shopping!!!

My Experiences

My experience
This is a story about my experience on learning how to speak Javanese. I found this interesting because now, I live in a truly Javanese city of Jogjakarta, where Javanese culture touches every aspect of life including the language.
I came to Jogja to study on Sanata Dharma University. Since I was a kid, I live in Jakarta. I lived there until I graduated from senior high school. However, I can say that the origin of my family is from Jogjakarta. My family still preserved Javanese culture in our daily family life and I think it would be funny if I didn’t, at least, understand how to speak Javanese correctly and accurately. As we know, Javanese language has different type for different occasion. When we talk to our friends, the language will be different with when we talk to our parents. This is complicated for me, since I am not accustomed to it. However, I found that being here in Jogjakarta requires me to learn Javanese quickly. Everyone around me speaks Javanese (even on campus, where they say that English is a must). I can understand what they are talking about, but it is difficult for me to join a conversation or try to talk to them. My mastery of Javanese was, at that time, poor. Luckily, I have dozens of person who are willing to teach me. My boarding house mates, my friends, and my boyfriend. Being around them for months has totally taught me a lot of things. Now, I found that the language that I consider funny is eventually a useful and practical one to use. Things can really get funnier when spoken in Javanese. For example, when someone cursing or saying dirty words. I really find it amusing to see guys joking around and saying things in a strong Javanese language and accent. Also, some people speak a different kind of Javanese accent. My boyfriend usually talks with a soft Jogjakarta accent, but when he is in the mood, he’ll switch to a strong and sometimes funny Banyumasan dialect. Just to hear him blabbering in it without having to understand what in the name of God is he talking is fun. The last, buying things sometimes will be easier and cheaper if we know how to bargain in Javanese!

My Daily Activities

Daily activities
I usually woke up at 5 a.m. After that, I do my morning prayer. My morning prayer usually lasted for about half an hour. I consider my morning prayer important because I need to have a time where I can talk to God and to pray, rejoice, and to ask for guidance. After my morning prayer, I sweep my room. This is important because I don’t like dirty floor. Then, I took a bath. If I didn’t have any morning class, I didn’t take a bath right away. I watch some news on the TV for about 30 minutes, and then I took a bath. After I took a bath, I dressed up on my room. It usually took some times, about 10 or 20 minutes. I need pretty much of time because I love to mix and match my clothes. I always tried to stay looked fresh everyday. Sometimes, I also style my hair. If I didn’t have much time left, I usually just combed it back, and tie it. After that I went breakfast. If I didn’t have anything to eat or I haven’t prepared anything, I usually get my breakfast from a nearby stall. After breakfast, I went campus. My campus hour is usually from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. After that, I sometimes have some extracurricular activities like modern dance. At some days, there were also some committee meetings to attend. I went home usually at on 4 p.m. I took a nap from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. then I woke up and took a bath. At 7 p.m., my boyfriend usually picked me up for dinner. We went dinner until 9 or 10 p.m. Then he will drive me home and then I will check whether I have any assignments to do or not. At 11 p.m., I pray and then I go to bed.

Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese

Here’s how the process of turning some ingredients into one of the easiest and helpful dish in the world, the macaroni and cheese. I chose this because I like Kurt Cobain, and as far as I know, he used to love macaroni and cheese.

First, the ingredients must be prepared. Dried macaroni, cheese, salt, water, and some pepper. Adding some sauces like Bolognaise sauce, sour sauce, or even plain ketchup sauce is also common. It also needs some bowls, an oven, and a serving dish. Next step, the macaroni would be boiled in salt water. The boiling process will usually take 5 to 8 minutes. The salt in the water will preserve the macaroni’s tender and chewy characteristics. Boiling it in just plain water will diminish its natural tenderness.

After the boiling process is done, the macaroni will be placed in heat-resistant container like Pyrex dish. It is to make sure that the container wouldn’t melt when placed in the oven. It is also common to preheat the oven to 70 degree for several minutes during this phase. Next, the cheese will be grated and sprinkled on top of the macaroni. Usually the cheese will cover the entire surface of the macaroni. Sometimes the pepper will also be sprinkled.

The next step puts the macaroni in the oven. Here, it will be heated on the temperature of about 70 degree until all the cheese melts. After the cheese melts, the oven would be turned off, and the macaroni will be taken out. After being taken out, the next process is to add more sauce, or serve it if it was desired to be a plain macaroni and cheese.

The person is rather shy and calm. The person is polite and patient. However, there are times when the person can be strict and discipline. Sometimes the person can be funny too. But at the other times, the person can be dry-humored. Guess who??? The person is a good example of how a good lecturer should looks like! LOL
