Mari Belajar English

English Corner..

"Angry" itu pake "at" atau "with" kah? 
Apa bedanya "must" sama "have to"? 
"Shall" bisa ga sih dipake selain "I" sama "we"?? 

Kalo hanya belajar teori, ya gini jadinya, kenal bahasa inggris sejak SD sampe tua, tapi ngomongnya masih terbata bata dan ber-local accent.

Belajar grammar penting, speaking penting, tapi jangan lupa belajar culture & pronunciation juga. Nanti takutnya bilang sebelas jadi gajah.

Pake idiom itu nampak lebih berkelas ketimbang vocab biasa.. I'm sick of you, lebih keren ketimbang I don't wanna see you anymore.

British atau American? Sama aja, ibarat jawanesia atau bataknesia.. Kalo ada beda, paling dikit doang.. Centre sama Center, dsb..

Banyak orang bisa bahasa inggris, bukan hal yang keren dan "wah" lagi sekarang, tapi yang keren adalah, berbahasa inggris dengan meninggalkan local accent, menggunakan linking word, aturan pronunciation yang ok serta gestur yang sesuai. tentunya harus ditunjang dengan penguasaan perbendaharaaan kata yang mumpuni juga..

XoXo

Boleh Alay, Tapi Jangan Bego

FYI...

"day dreaming" /deɪ 'driːmɪŋ / artinya melamun.
"take a nap" /'teɪk ə nap / artinya tidur siang.

hayo loh, banyak yang salah pake tho??
gapapa, banyak temennya yang salah juga kok..
yang penting sekarang udah tau benernya kan..

note: kalo mau meng-alay ya jangan bego bego amat, belajar vocab plus pronun yang biasa digunakan bergaul kek..

Hijab Photo Blogging (unsuccess)

Fashion blogging?

What the heck is that??

Blogging about fashion?

Well, honestly, i have no idea about that, but i have a hand to put if we talk about fashion.

I mean, a piece of my artwork is about fashion.

I'm a photographer, I do fashion photoshot, and I'd been asked to do a fashion photoshot for fashion blog.

One day, my friend Yoshiva (she is a dj in local radio station) called me and asked about photoshot.

She told me the she wanted to make a hijab fashion blogger.

Well, i never done it before, so I said yes to her.

In the D-day, when I did it, I just realize that a photoshot for fashion blogging is different with modeling, I mean, in this case we concern about the dress, the fashion it self, mostly, I concern about the pose, face and angle.

I said “This is new to me”.

Well, we are, as photographer, a problem solver.

So, no matter what, the show must keep going.

To understand what she wanted in this photoshot, I asked her, what is the point of fashion blogging.

She told me “it's all about how to make our hijab looks modern. How to describe a Muslim style and show to the world that we can make it become a beautiful dress-code without disobey the rule”.

Well, impressive, sometimes, a hijab tutorial just for in a studio photoshot, but we can't use it in daily life, but, by this theme, she wants to make it real.

Blog as a powerful media to spread the news up quickly.

We may use blog as a “sharing stuff”, and sell something, but in this case, blog uses for showing the style.

I ever visited a blog consist of fashion stuff, and you know what, it's all about sexy stuff, I'm talking about mini skirt, hotpants, you can see dress, sport bra etc.

In this country, we may not allowed to use those kind of stuffs in daily life, just in a studio, for photoshot only.

But the thing is, it's been a year that she asked me the photoshot, that fashion blog isn't published yet.

Well, have no idea what happen, but still, that was brilliant..

Make blog as a fashion directory is really something..

Unlucky me, I haven't the copy of my photoshot with Yoshiva.

How pity I am..

Hastalavista, guys..

I Have a Dream

If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile

I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

(I have a dream - westlife Deluxe Album)

Once upon a time you attended a class in kindergarten, your teacher
asked you about your dream, "whatcha gonna be in the future?".

Simple question..
And you answered it with simple and honest answer too..

Some kids said, "I wanna be a doctor", the other one said "I'm gonna
be a power ranger".
Amazing, wasn't it?
Can you imagine that?
Have no doubt, have no fear, just a dream and believe in their heart,
that someday, they will find a wonder.
They didn't even care about how difficult to be a doctor, how
ridiculous is their dream to be a power ranger.
It doesn't really matter, they believe that they can do it.
As simple as flip your hand up side down.

Right there, right now, sometimes we lost that passion, we lost that
spirit, no zeal, no power just gloomy inside and even worse, lost your
dream.

We are too afraid to do something because we are, hard to believe in our power.
Too much thing to handle in our head, that make us get lost from our path.
We are afraid if we loose, we are afraid if we fail.

Let's get back to several years ago, when we have a solid dream to be
a power ranger.
Take a deep breath, and start thinking..
"If you see the wonder of a fairy tale, you can take the future even
if you fail"
Mark this sentence down.
Bear in your mind.

Let's sing together..

I delivered you a song of westlife, which is sang in 1999.

The point of this song is, to live in our life we need a dream.
Dream is foundation of our path.
Once you lost your dream, you're gonna loose you path, walk in no
direction in your own world.
Don't let your dream turn your back and go away, and disappear.
Keep it, hold it tight.

I hope we could get some "positive point" inside.

Hasta lavista..
