I'll Wait for You

Hey, bloggers! I'm so excited this time because I could write another amazing song on my blog. Couple weeks ago, I found something interesting on web. Well, I know it's actually an old song, but somehow I like it because it's sooooo touching. The title of the song is I'll Wait for You by Joe Nichols. Here's the lyrics

Snows in Montana was three feet high
Lady at the counter said, "There ain't no flight"
And so he called her on the telephone
He said I'll rent a car and I'll drive home

She said, "I'll wait for you like I did last year
at Christmas time with your family here
when your truck broke down out in San Antone
and the gifts stayed wrapped till you got home
oo.. this ain't nothing new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you"

And he's on the cellphone in a Coupe Deville
Talking to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breaking 'cos she's there alone
Her heart is aching 'cos she wants him home

She said, "I'll wait for you like in '68
when our child was due, but I said he'll have to wait
until his dad gets here and stands by my side
remember, dear, our son's first cry
oo.. this ain't nothing new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you"

He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
And he finally got there around midnight
Doctor said she's in a better place
She said to give you this note just in case

It said, "I'll wait for you at heaven's gate
Oo.. i don't care, how long it takes
And I'll tell St. Pete I can't come in
without my love and my bestfriend
Oo.. this ain't nothing new
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you
P.S. I love you too
Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

Gosh.. it really is an amazing song. I always cry when I watch the video. Here's the link for the video, you'll really have to watch it!

Hope you do enjoy this posting! =)

Days in Senior High

Wow! I've been in senior high for around 2 months. I'm so excited because I could join many new activities in senior high, such as addition lesson especially in physics (I'm so excited about physics), choir, playing violin, etc. Actually I've played violin since I was in junior high, but somehow I feel some differences about playing violin in junior high and senior high. Different teacher, different tastes. My teacher in senior high has a very high taste of music, he loves music very very much. I also am so proud because I have such teacher who is capable to play many kinds of instruments and who is capable in arranging choir. And also I'm so excited because I can play with some talented friends. I hope we'll get other chances to play together again.

I Win It!!!

Well, where should I start? Hmm..... I think I should start from the activities I'd done during my holidays. Actually, I spent my holidays by having fun mostly, like watching movies, TV shows, reading novels, playing video games, and other things. But around a month ago, my English course teacher asked me to join a speech competition for celebrating Bung Karno month and I decided to join it because I thought what will I do at home? I might get better activities by joining this competition. So I started to find a title, the theme of the competition is "Winning Generation". I finally chose to use "Caring" as my title because nowadays we can find many people who don't wanna care about their surroundings or to other people. Care isn't always purposed to other people, but also purposed to other creature, like the trees or the environment.
Around 3 or 4 weeks later I'd finished my speech text and I was satisfied with the speech I made, so I started presenting the speech. At first I wasn't confident enough to do it because I'm sure the other contestants will present their speech much better than I do, but I tried to push myself to always train myself in front of the mirror, until the execution day came up.
The execution day was yesterday. There were many contestants from various schools. Some of them present their speech well. The contestants could choose the number for themselves freely, so I chose 12 because it's the same as my birth date, but actually I was the 2nd contestant who present my speech because the least number that was chosen by a contestant was 9. There were 3 juries, two of them are Australians and the other one is Indonesian but she has lbeen living in Australia for years. Actually it was pretty creepy to know that the juries were from Australia, I was afraid if I didn't pronounce the sentences well because they would easily know it if I made mistakes!
When it was my time to present mine I was so worried of the juries and the audiences, I was so afraid if I passed the time that had been determined by the juries, it's 5 minutes to present our speech. If we presented the speech more than 5 minutes, the juries will decrease the points we gained. But the show must go on, so I presented my speech in less than 5 minutes.
At the time I finished my speech, honestly, I felt confused about what had just I done at the stage. It's like I didn't remember all sentences I'd presented at the stage. Well, at least I had no longer burden on my shoulder because my time was done.
Around 1 or 2 hours later the juries announced the winner. I was so worried about the result, but however, I had to receive the result. I was sure that the other contestants would win it because some of them presented their speech so well. And guess what? I was terribly surprised when the juries said that I got the 1st rank! I really couldn't believe it!!! I was sooooo excited to know that I could win it!!! The last thing I could say was "thank you very much" to the juries and also to Jesus who had guided me till the end of my speech so I could do it so well.
Well, as I've said I'm so excited and satisfied, but I'm sure there still any other persons out there who are much better than me, so all I can do for now is just learning and learning so I'll be able to get new things that would improve my ability in speaking English. =)

Memories

Some days ago, I got a message from my friend, she sent me about the memories of her, me, and other friends about my school. Well, firstly you have to know that actually I've been graduated from my school and I'm going to senior high school next month. I really had great times at my junior high school and I also have my own memories about it.
Well, let's start from the first time when I step my feet to my junior high school. You know, I was so happy when I know that I could study in SMPN 1 Blitar (the name of my junior high school). I can't explain to you how happy I was, but the certain thing was I was sooooooo happy, because it's one of the favorite school in my town. I also didn't expect that I could study there because I was from a private elementary school where maybe most people think that the elementary school wasn't so good and I wasn't so smart either I guess. And of course, mom and dad were so proud of me, moreover I was in the first international class.
I also had so many great friends. I was so afraid at first actually if I couldn't have many friends especially because it's my first experience to study in public school. But I did it pretty well, I got many new amazing friends here. I learned many things from them. I really enjoy my time with them.
This school has really change me to be a better girl. I got my spirit to do my best here, I learned how differences are so amazing, I learned how to treat other people well, I grew to be a mature girl here, I got so many problems where I had to solve them by myself and finally I got new lessons from them or when I'd been so helpless my friends always came along to help me solving my problems, I share many things with my friends, and other sweet things.
Actually, I'm so grateful because I can go to senior high school, especially because I can study in a good high school again, but somehow I still miss SMPN 1 Blitar. The teachers are kind (not all of them honestly) and they had given me and my friends new lessons to be a better person to build this country. I'm not gonna forget what have they done for me. It's so amazing because I could meet such great person.
I know it's not a kinda farewell because I can still visit SMPN 1 Blitar whenever I want, but still I feel a bit sad to leave this school. but my life must go on, so all I can do now is just remembering my sweet and bitter memories from my junior high school then make it a lesson for me to always do the best in the following times. =D

When You Tell Me That You Love Me

Hey, folks! I'm gonna post somethings today. It's about a song I love so much. I'd just found it from internet and decided to download it because the title of the song seems familiar for me, then I downloaded it and I found out that I really had ever heard that song. Hahahaaha... at the first time I heard the song I didn't know the meaning of this song, but when I found it a couple days ago I searched the lyrics and I've understood the meaning of this song. The first singer was Diana Ross (I guess) but then I found this song sang by Diana Ross with Westlife and I think this version sounds better than the version when Diana Ross sang it herself. I'm gonna provide the link for you to download it.

Click here to download the song!

And here are the lyrics

I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do
I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
I know what's beautiful looking at you
In the world of lies you are the truth
And baby every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you save no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see just what I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walk into my life to stop my fears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you save no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I will always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you save no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

Why do I love this song? Because the meaning of this song is very deep and it's sung very well. Do you know where the first time I heard this song? Well, if I'm not mistaken, I heard this song firstly when I was in a wedding party. No wonder this song is often used in that kind of party because it's suitable to represent the feeling of the party maker. So, enjoy this song, folks!

Farewell Party

I had a farewell party this morning with my junior high school friends. It was held at a hotel in Blitar. The party was exciting. My friends performed some songs to sing. And the lower classmates performed some songs too. Some of them played violin and samroh (kinda singing religious songs especially the Islamic songs). Some of them played so well but few played so badly. There was a group band which consist of 3 students performed so weirdly. They didn't sing the song beautifully and the tonal didn't match to the key tones. It was so awful till some of my friends told them to go down from the stage, but they insisted to keep playing. They played 3 songs awfully. But still, they'd made the party became better with their play. It was so funny to listen to them.
The most important part of this party is removing the attributes of my school from our uniform, there were 2 students to represent other students. That was a very sad moment because that represented that we're not the student of SMPN 1 Blitar anymore.
However, besides those performances of my friends there was a much better moment at the party. The moment was at the very last time. We took some pictures with our friends together. That was a very great moment because friends looked so happy and enjoy it.
I'm lying if I say that I'm not sad in this occasion. At least I'm sad because it means that we won't stay in one class anymore, because some of my friends decide to enroll their study to another city. But this event means a lot to me :)

Meeting The Vice President

Hi, guys! I'm gonna post something cool! I got a very exciting experience this morning. I met Mr. Boediono, the vice president of Indonesia. He came to my school to do a kinda interview with the students and staffs from some schools in my hometown, Blitar. I was in charge to be a Pager Ayu with my other friends. It's a designation for girls who greet the guests and we were wearing kebaya. Kebaya is a traditional clothes which should be worn with jarik. So kebaya is the upper cloth and jarik is the lower cloth. Do I look good in kebaya???

Hahahaha... I wish you think that it suits to me. It's the ID card that must be brought by the guests who are invited to join the interview.
The cool part was when I shaken hand with Mr. Boediono, his wife, and other ministers. I laboriously tried to look for mr. vice president to shake his hand and I'm so grateful because I succeeded to do it. Hope I got other chances to meet other great men :)

A Little Fatal Mistake

I'd just made a little mistake I guess. I used to call my dad when I'd gone home to ask him to pick me up, but this morning I didn't do that. My mom told me that dad and mom will go to a bank at 11 o'clock. My school was over at 11 o'clock. I decided not to call my dad because I know he can't come, then I decided to go home by pedicab. I didn't know that I was about to make a little but serious problem.
When I arrived at home, my mom called and asked why didn't I call dad. I said that I'm pretty sure that he'll be unable to come because I was going home at 11 o'clock. It was so terrible to know that my dad was at my school at the time I went home and he waited for me. He must be very mad at me. I guess it's not my fault although I'd made wrong prediction, but it seems that mom and dad blame me so much of this. Mom also said that the car that was used to pick me up was scratched somewhere. Well, somehow, it's probably my mistake too. Hope dad will forgive me.
