LEARNING

My Learning Style

Hello fellas, how are you doing? I hope y'all always stay healthy. Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone, may the joy of Christmas always be with you. May God always be with you😊
So, in this post I will discuss about my learning style. Happy reading😁
As students, of course we all have a plan or some plans that we want to achieve in the future, and in compiling that plan we must make decisions. I myself also have a plan to continue my studies to a higher level that is to graduate. I want to take my master degree in abroad through scholarships, hopefully this will be achieved. Amen🙏😊
To achieve the plan, I have to make some decisions, such as: studying harder to practice my written and spoken skills and discussing English questions so that I am accustomed to and able to pass the IELTS test because this is the most important thing to get a scholarship.
In learning of course everyone has a way or style of learning that varies according to their personalities. In general there are four types of learning styles, namely:

1. Auditory learners

Auditory learners prefer to get information by listening. They like to learn through lectures, group discussion, and conversations.

2. Visual learners

Visual learners like to take in new information by seeing. Photos, charts, drawings, and diagrams help them to understand new ideas.

3. Kinesthetic learners

Kinesthetic learners understand things best through experience and practice. They like to make things and use their bodies.

4. Reading/writing learners.

Reading/writing learners understand new information best when they read or write words. Using a textbook and reading articles are activities they prefer.

I myself, actually have a blend of the four types of learning styles above. But more prominent, in my opinion are visual learners. Because I am easier to understand and remember lessons with visuals. Like videos, photos, or diagrams. How about you? What kind of learning style do you prefer among the four types of learning style above?
As a prospective teacher who will teach later, I recommend teaching methods that integrate the four types of learning styles. So, as I said before the learning style of every child is different according to their personalities. So, by seeing this, teacher as an aducator should be able to adjust the teaching style to the personality of their students. So each of them, all can study well. So, here I recommend that when teachers teach, they do not only use one method, but all methods alternately so that each child can follow the learning well. Such as preparing learning materials with animated presentations, watching films, practice firsthand, writing and listening, games, etc. Thus students will also not feel bored, rigid, and depressed when learning but they will learn while having fun.

MYSTERIES

Mystery in my place

Hello fellas, how have you been? I hope all of you are always healthy. So, this time I want to discuss about mystery. When you first hear the word mystery, what is the thing that comes to your mind? 

For me, when I hear the word mystery, the things that popped into my mind are occult, supernatural, magical, and creepy things that give me goosebumps. According to wikipedia, the meaning of mystery is something that is not known with certainty and attracts people's curiosity. Mystery is usually associated with horror and supernatural events.

Examples of things that are considered mysteries:

1. Loss of ships and aircraft in the Bermuda Triangle region.

2. The presence of the sea monster "Nessie" in Loch Ness, Scotland.

3. How the rocks at Stonehenge formed

Nazca Lines painter.

4. Giant paintings that unfold in the desert.

5. Unknown flying objects called UFOs.

Every place has to have events, creatures, or objects that the local people have considered mysterious and widely believed.

Likewise in my place, as I have told before in previous post, I live in a small village in North Sumatra. I come from the Batak tribe, where many places, events, and mysterious creatures are considered real by the residents in the Batak area. One of them is a mysterious creature called "Homang".

Almost all Bataknese have known what is meant by the Homang, although not everyone believes in this creature because no one has seen this creature directly. All Bataknese who know this creature usually knew it from many oldster who used to scare their children if they are undisciplined. Same with me, when I was a child, my parents used to scare me when I cried. She said that children who cry a lot will be taken away by Homang and bring them in to a tall tree. There the Homang will tickle all the children to death. Homang also likes to make children who used to travel alone get lost. They lead children astray by imitating the voice of the children's parents, and telling them to follow their voices. They will get the child to a faraway place and when the kids get lost they'll leave them there alone. They usually lead the children to the middle of the jungle. That's why when I was a kid, I don't want to go everywhere by myself. 

Actually I have never seen Homang directly but from the stories of many people, they said that the shape and appearance of Homang is like a monkey but its size is bigger, the fur is so long that it touches the ground, and its legs are reversed. So, if we see the traces of Homang as seen away from us, it is actually closer to us. If we meet Homang in forest we have to run as fast as possible so they can't approach us and close our ears so we can't hear their voices because they can hypnotize us by changing their voices into our parents' voices or whoever that we know.

DANGER

STUNG BY BEES

Hello my lovely friends, glad to see y'all again. How are you, guys? I hope all of you are good. Have you ever been stung by bees? When and where? Same with y'all, I have also ever been stung by bees.

I got stung by bees when I was a kid. So my family have a garden in our village. Our garden is quite extensive, there we plant various plants, e.g. coffee, avocado, guava, mango, passion fruit, and others. One day, during the coffee harvest season, our family went to the garden to harvest coffee. The distance from our house to the garden is quite far, so we usually ride a motorcycle when we want to go to the garden. If I'm not mistaken I was still sitting on the elementary school back then. So, my mother did not require me to take part in harvesting coffee. But because at that moment I had never been go to the garden for a long time, so, I insisted to come along with my parents and siblings to the garden. Although my goal is not actually to harvest the coffee, but to play and to take passion fruit and guava, hehehe.

So, when I got to the garden I initially helped my parents to pick the coffee. But after a few minutes, I was bored and I decided to go to climb the guava tree and pick some guava fruits. Because the branches of our guava tree was flexible at the time, I shook the branches so it swayed and I'll feel like I were swinging. But when I did that, my mother admonished me that it was dangerous and asked me to stop swinging and to get off from the tree.

But I did not want to listen to my mother's advice, I remained in the tree while eating the guava fruit and continued to swing like a monkey, wkwkwk. 

When I was having fun swinging, suddenly I felt like there was something piercing my hand with a needle. I was so shocked, but I don't feel hurt at all. So, I assumed that it was just my feeling. But suddenly there was another sting on my cheek, this time it really hurts, and not only that, suddenly there were lots of bees that stung me. I immediately screamed and rushed down from the tree, then I ran to my mother while crying. Aparently there were bees nesting in the guava tree. 

While I cried out in pain my mother scolded me, "I told you not to play in the tree, but you don't want to listen to me, now this is what you got due to your stubbornness", my mother screamed at me. Meanwhile, I was just crying and regretting my stubbornness. 

Then my mother screwed up some leaves and attaches them to all the parts of my body that was stung by the bees and then asked my father to take me home. On the way, I covered my face with cloth because my face and body were swollen.

Things that I got from this experience are:

1. Don't be stubborn.

2. When stung by bees, immediately run away from the place where the bees stung you.

3. Screw up some leaves from the grass and stick it to the body that is stung by bees to  to reduce pain.

Okay, that's all for now, see you in my next post:)

Recomendations For Improving Transportation

Hello guys!!! Well, it seems that we meet again. So, how have you been guys? I hope all of you always stay healthy and happy. So, guys, in this post I'm going to discuss about my suggestions or recommendations in improving the quality of transportation. 

Before going to the recommendations, let me tell you the meaning of transportation first. So, transportation is a transfer of goods and people from their origin to their destination. There are many types of transportation, namely: 

1. Land transportation.

For example: cars, motorbikes, buses, bajaj, trains, etc.

2. Water transportation (river, lake, sea).

For example: ships, barges, boats, rafts.

3. Air transportation: airplanes.

All types of transportation above are transportation that is commonly used by humans to assist humans in carrying out their activities in order to save time and energy.

Because it would be too much if I give recommendations for every transportation, so here I will only give recommendations on bus transportation, especially Transjakarta. Because I am more familiar with this transportation and I know more such what the shortcomings are needed to  improve in this transportation.

So, Transjakarta is the first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) transportation system in Southeast and South Asia that has been operating since 2004 in Jakarta, Indonesia. TransJakarta is designed as a mass transportation mode supporting capital activities which is very dense. With the longest path in the world (251.2 km), and has 260 bus stops spread across 13 corridors. Transjakarta which initially operated from 05.00 a.m - 22.00 p.m, now operates 24 hours.

Actually the quality of Transjakarta for now is quite good. The facilities are also quite complete such as the presence of Air Conditioning (AC) that makes busway users feel cool even in hot weather, there are bins available to keep the busway clean, and CCTV that can increase security when using the busway. These facilities are very useful in establishing the comfortable feeling for busway users. Besides that, the tariff for using Transjakarta is also very economical so that every citizen can use this transportation.

But even so, there are still some things that I want to recommend to be improved in Transjakarta transportation. Such as:

1. Providing gate as road block on each busway lane so that other vehicles do not pass through the busway lane. Because although Transjakarta facilities are sufficient to make users feel comfortable, but if Transjakarta is still trapped in traffic, it will have a bad impact on users because they cannot reach their destination on time. Whereas Transjakarta already has its own lane, but also the busway lane can still be passed by other vehicles, which is the reason why the busway also experience traffic jams.

2. Reinforce the rules so that passengers do not stand in front of the door for the safety of the passengers. Just like my experience yesterday, due to the negligence of the busway officer which did not limit the number of passengers entering the busway so that the passengers were jostling on the busway and when the door was closed one of the passengers was pinned. This is something that needs to be considered for the safety of the passengers.

I think that's all for now, see you guys in upcoming posts. Byeeee

Survival

Emergency Situations

Hello friends, meet again with me!!!😁Well, today in this post I will share you all about emergency experience that I had experienced and how to deal with situations like that.
So, my parents work as entrepreneurs with businesses selling food. Since I was a child I used to help my parents preparing food for us to sell. That's why I was used to dealing with kitchen items such as stoves, LPGs, and so on. 
When I was in elementary school it was still rare for people in my village to use a gas stove for cooking because of the many events on television that showed many houses burning due to the explosion of the gas cylinder. So, as a cooking tool we prefer to use kerosene stoves rather than gas stoves.
But over time, the existence of kerosene as kerosene stove fuel that we use was increasingly scarce and rarely found. the price is getting more and more expensive, which is not good for us food sellers. Because just for the cost of fuel alone has spent a lot of expenses, not to mention other materials. So, in order to avoid incidents where expenses are greater than income, we must find a way out of the problem so that our business keep moving. 
And the solution is my parents chose to use a gas stove instead of kerosene stove, because LPG prices are much cheaper than kerosene.From then on we started using gas stoves for cooking. 
At first it was very scary, because when I used the gas stove that came to my mind was scary news on television about a fire caused by exploding gas. But over time, because I was used to using gas stoves, the fear gradually faded and disappeared.
One day, when we were busy cooking, suddenly there was a rather nasty smell like the smell of fart meat or something, but the point was that the smell was very unpleasant.
At first I thought maybe my parents or siblings farted😅, so I ignored it and focused on doing my work. But the smell does not go away and suddenly there was a hissing sound came out from LPG cylinders.
Coincidentally at that time my father was not at home, so only me and my mother were there at the time. Even though none of us knows how to fix the hissing sound of the leaking tube. So we were very  scared and worried, confused what we had to do. And suddenly the hissing sound louder. Afraid that the gas would be explode. I did not think for a long time, I immediately put out the fire on the stove and pull the regulator from the gas cylinder. Even though I was very scared I ventured to do that because I thought it would be too long and late if I had to ask my father to fix it. 
It was the emergency experience I have ever felt, fortunately I immediately acted  because if only I late for a second there would be a possibility the gas could explode.

I dare to do that because before I had read how to overcome when the gas cylinder leaked. So for those of you who  don't know at all how to deal with a leaky gas cylinder, never take action on your own because it could endanger yourself, seek help from others who understand better cause it will be far better and safer.

The Mind

My Unforgettable Moment

Hi guys, how have you been? 

Do you have an experience or an unforgettable moment for you? Either a pleasant or sad experience?

Of course everyone has an experience that makes them unable to forget it, and certainly it is because it had such a big impact on them that made them unable to forget that experience. Well, so do I. So, in this post I will tell y'all about my unforgettable experience.

Actually there are a lot of unforgettable experiences that I have been through, but there's no way I can tell them all one by one, cause it would take a lot of time, right? hehhehe😅😅😅

So, one of the unforgettable experiences for me is when I was in high school. Me and my friends went to a place that was a bit far from where we lived, we went there to do assignments that was given by our teacher. But instead of doing the assignment, we end up go there just to having fun😅😅😅

There is many things that make me can't forget this experience. First, when we went to that place, we through many obstacles. Because not all of our friends were allowed by their parents to leave their homes for various reasons. So, that makes us have to try hard looking for the right reasons. We have to lie a little bit to my friends' parents  so our friend was allowed to go with us. 😅

The second, because we all didn't really understand the way to that place, we had to go round and round looking for people to ask about the road to our destination.

The third, this was the most stressful and funniest experience of my life. So we went to the place I've told you before by using a motorcycle, because the road situation is very bad, making it difficult for us to ride this motorbike. Because we don't pay too much attention to the holes in the road. Suddenly we fell from the motorbike, at first I was very scared because I was worried there was someone who get injury among us. Fortunately we were fine and the motorbike was fine too, but unfortunately an embarrassing thing happened to me. Apparently when we fell from the motorcycle, my pants were ripped and that makes me so embarrassed cause my friends we laughing at me. The thing that was initially tense ended up being a very funny thing for my friends and an embarrassing thing for me...wkwkkw

Short story, we arrived at our destination.
This place is a green and beautiful hill, initially we only intended to take pictures of this place as a result of our assignment. But because this place is too beautiful if only for a short visit, we decided to stay there longer while playing around. We look for fruits around the hill like durian and langsat and we also climb the hill. Although it was tiring but also very fun.
Since it was getting dark and cloudy, we finally decided to go home early so as not to get rain. We returned from that place not only with the results of our assignment, but also with many fruits that we picked earlier as souvenirs for the family at home, if only our parents scolded us .... wkwkkw
However, the nature was a different kind of thing. Just in the middle of our journey, the rain rained down on us, so we got wet.
Which made us clearly will be scolded by each of our parents at home. Hahaha
So, that's my experience that I can't forget. My memories with my classmates in high school. How about you? What are the memories that you cannot forget?
