The Me From The Past, Now, and In The Future

Ok, so I was asked to write something about myself, again. This would be the second time I write about myself since 2 years ago. It was the very first task that was given to me as a highschooler. I don't wanna blabbering too much since I do need some privacy. And since you guys can just re-read my old post to know about the general info of myself, I'll just write a little bit about me.

Ei! My full name is Moch Nabil Farras Dhiya. You can either call me Nabil or Farras, but since Farras can lead into a misunderstanding, I'd rather be called Nabil, or whatever suits you will do just fine. I was born in Tasikmalaya on January 15, 2003. I just turned 16 year last month, yey. Now, I'm living in Bandung. I won't give you my address, pakyo stalker. I used to love playing games, but since I quit playing games since last year, so now I don't really have any particular hobby, except slacking off all day long.

My family has 11 members, including pets. I have a pair of normal parents, an older and younger brother, a couple of rabbits, a cat and 3 kitties. I have fish pond in my house but since it's a bother to count their numbers, I won't include them. Ok, let's get serious.
Both my father and mother are currently working as a civil server. As of now, my father works in Pontianak, while my mother works in Bandung. My older brother is 3 years older than me and now is on his second year in a certain university in Bandung. As for my younger brother, he's 6 years younger than me and now is on his third year in elementary school. My family doesn't have any peculiar background, you see. I won't give the specific detail, but I can asure you that our field of works are different.

Next, about me. I don't really pay any attention about what people said about me but I remember some called me smart, annoying, stingy, and such. Well, under some circumtances, I can be both annoying and kind, stingy and generous, smart and idiot. People are like that. I think the majority of human being are not completely stuck on certain "point", they may be like that but it's not like they can't be the opposite of it, you know. I'm just the same. Ok next, As for my look, I'm confidence enough to tell you that from a scale of 10, it's below than 5, meaning it's seriously below average. For the supporting evidence of my statement, I have this one friend from XI 4, and he often told me that I'm below average, and I do agree with him :p

As for speaking skill, I'm confidence enough about my speaking skills because I'm already used to speaking in front of the others since Junior High School, and I learnt a lot from the grown ups. Even so, until I write this post, as of February 24, 2019 at 5:58 PM, I never, even once, join any kind of organization, except Trilogy. But I won't call myself as one of the member because I already decided to quit Olympiad because I don't wanna stuck in the school until almost dusk. I have other reasons too, but I won't mention it here.

When I was little, I often join many kinds of competition, whether it's dancing, singing, fashion show, etc. I don't have any intention to boast here, but I often won the competition. But since I enter elementary school, I barely join any competition, whether it's the same kind of competition or olympiad competition. I don't find it interesting anymore. Even so, when I enter Senior High School, I suddenly felt this urge to join OSN, Idk why. That's why I participated on it at Physics and gladly, I passed the city selection. Even so, I wasn't able to get into the National since I didn't passed the Province' one.

Since I barely join any competition and club at school until now, I can devote my life as a go-home club member. Because of that, I've a hard time opening up with some people I'm not familiar with since I'm almost on guard all the time.

At school, there are are only 4 things that I love, which is Math Test, Physics experiment, Break time, and go home bell. Especially the last one, it's so satisfying to hear. It resonates through every student's ears, including mine.

Well, since I've told you guys about the past and the current me, I'd like to tell you about what the future me has on store. I don't want to describe it so detail so I'll try to sum it up in about 4 sentences. So basically, as I said on the previous post, I don't have any intention on becoming some CEO of certain company, doctor, or whatever it is. I just want to live my life as a normie office worker with a decent family and died at some point. Some people might think it's a waste of talent, but I think they miss the point here. We only live here interim, we'd soon died and then the eternal journey will begin, that's the main point. But if I've to really name one, I'd say I wanna be an Actuary or Astrophysicist, but I'm more into Actuary for several reasons. The first, I've watched too much animes that I might got influated by it. Why? Because in most of the animes that I watched, the protagonist and the people around him were wearing black suit and preparing to go to their offices. So that kinda made me think something like, "Oh, an office worker might be cool". The second, I'm into Mathematics and I love my laptop. So I'd want a job that involves those two. Lastly, I went to this seminar that was held in my school when I was at 10th grade, where the speaker of the seminar, who came from Canada or something, said how cool and promising to be an Actuary is. And surprisingly, the number of Actuary in Indonesia is quite low, and they need it very bad. So yeah, I think this job is suited for me.

To get there, I'd have to enter the Faculty of Science from some university that has an Actuary program, like ITB and ITB. Well, my plan is to get selected for SNMPTN to enter one of those university. I haven't made my total decision about it, since there are the plus and minus points I must consider. For example, ITB is a good university and it isn't that far from my home. But IPB is currently the university that produce the best Actuary in Indonesia, so if I enter that university, I'd have to move out by myself, which is not really my thing. Well, putting that aside, I have a bigger dream, which is entering a university in Japan, like Toudai, which is the most famous university in Japan, Kyoto University, Waseda University, etc. To be honest, I don't really mind which university since the fact that I'm studying in Japan is already good enough for me. My actual plan is that after I got accepted at one of those university by SNMPTN, I'd like to apply a scholarship to study abroad. So, even if I won't make it at the selection, I can still study here in Indonesia.
After I got my bachelor degree, I hope to apply for another scholarship for my post graduate program in Japan, so that after I graduated again, I can start working at some company there in Japan.

Ok, that's all I think. I already wrote too much for just a single task even tho' I said "a little" in the beginning, so I'll end it here.
Farewell, eh.

Edu Passion and Future Self

Eiiiiiii, new post from Bell. It's about my school's recent event Edu Passion and what I'm gonna do in the future after I got some information about some colleges and considerate myself's plus and minus points.

On January 4th 2019, my school, SMA Negeri 3 Bandung held an event called "Edu Passion". Basically, this event's main purpose was to give a big picture to the students, mainly SMA Negeri 3 Bandung's students about some famous universities, including their univ facilities, environments, and faculties. This event can also be attended by students from other school, like last year's, but I think i didn't see any this year, maybe they've different rule for each year.

This event was held from 7.30 AM with some words from our school's principal and West Java's governer, Ridwan Kamil. He is one of the most outstanding alumnae from our school. After some words from them, they explain some important stuff exclusively to the 12th graders. Why? Because they're the ones who needed it the most right now, compared to us. How do I know this? Well, because I was bored since there was no teacher in our class, so I just wander around the school and I accidentally saw this.

We, 10th and 11th graders can start doing our stuff (gathering some information from some stalls) from 7.30 AM if the responsible teacher at the time allowed us to, but it's only limited to the hallway area, since the parking area was used by the 12th graders.

If I remember correctly, we were allowed to enter the parking area at about 9 AM, thus I continue to see if there's something that'll caught my interest. Unfortunately, there's none. So, I came back to our class and stay there with some friends until 12 AM. After that, we went to the nearby Mosque to pray Dzuhur, then we decided to gather some information too, since we were asked to do that by our teachers.

Then, me and my friends went to this Universitas Gajah Mada's stall to do our task, then we were dragged to this room where their companions were doing presentation about their university because from our and their perspective, a scheduled presentation which they were used to give information is way more effective than standing in front of the stall and asking some questions with no guarantee if they're bothered by it because certain reasons or not. Not to mention that if we come to a scheduled presentation we can also bring some food there while listening to their presentation, which can't be done if we come to the stall (it's bad to eat while standing).

To sum it up, the info that I got from their presentation is that UGM is an university that teach their students to be a simple yet conspicuos person. There are some plus points that can make us considerate UGM as our future university, which are:
1. Yogyakarta's life cost is relatively cheap compared to other cities.
2. Its located near many other campus, thus making it safe even though we're gonna stay until late night working our project there.
3. There are many famous tourist destination, like Borobudur Temple, Malioboro, etc.
4. Their social environment are quite friendly, so we can take it easy there.
etc.

Note: The pic when I attend the scheduled presentation is on my friend's phone (Ilham Azka)

Overall, this event (Edu Passion) is, without doubt, an amazing program, not to mention it's held annually so each generation can get some information about their future college to prevent them from entering the wrong one, which can screw up their future.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm that kind of person that's good at some kind of puzzle, analysis, logic, and number-related problems since I'm already used to it since kindergarten. Because of that, I'm quite fond of some subjects, like Mathematic and Physics. On the contrary, I am very not used to memorizing something because I'm a lazy person, making me bad at certain subjects that require a good memory, like Biology and History. As for sports, I hate every single one of it, except Badminton. Even though I'm a fast learner, that only applies to the first 2 subjects I mentioned before. As for the others, it's either average or even worse.
Putting school aside, I take a slight interest on Japanese culture, so I understand a little bit Japanese. For survival purpose only, I'd say I'm ready for it, but as for blending with society, I'm yet to ready.
I'm one of those person that delay doing things until certain days or the exact day before the deadline because I'm busy doing other useless stuffs. But once I put my mind on something, or I take a slight interest or something, I can done it in faster than society's average speed, I'd say.

By taking consideration of those things I mentioned before, I just want to enter university without probem, work at an office, got married, and stuff. Just your usual Normies life. I don't really aiming to become some CEO, doctor, or such. Well, I once dreamt to become something like an Astrophysicist in Japan, but that's too bothersome so I don't want to. Well, working as an office worker in Japan is ok, though. As long as it won't bother my duty as a Muslim. Because our life in this world is just temporary, not to mention this world's gonna crumble soon, based on the Prophet's Hadits, so I decided to focus more on Religion rather than become someone big in the eyes of other person, which is kinda useless, I'd say.

Well, that's it for this time's Post. See you later pipol.

Hunger

Every day too many men and women across the globe struggle to feed their children a nutritious meal. In a world where we produce enough food to feed everyone, 821 million people – one in nine – still go to bed on an empty stomach each night. Even more – one in three – suffer from some form of malnutrition.

Even though the world governments are currently working on reducing the numbers of poverty and hunger across the world, the fact states otherwise. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates that 2010 global military expenditure was $1630 billion, ... Globally it would cost $10 billion to provide universal primary education, $30 billion to eradicate world hunger, $30 billion to provide clean water to everyone without it. Which is the better investment? World powers are more eager to spend on controlling the world and not controlling hunger and poverty.

That’s why, in order to truly free this world from hunger and poverty, we need to control our selfish desire for individual purpose and give charity to the people in need. God Almighty the creator of the heavens and earth, the one who controls all affairs must be responsible to provide a system where there is a practical solution to all problems including poverty. We find charity is highly recommended and noble act in almost all major religions. Islam also provides a practical solution in the form of Zakat, which is spending 2.5% of our possession for over a year. Just imagine, if we use half of that $1630 billion for zakat, adding people’s individual’s belonging, how much many we have to feed those hungry people every year. That means, if Zakat system is realized perfectly as the Prophet said, then undoubtly, there’ll be no more poverty, thus there won’t be any people that feel hungry on their sleep, or suffer from malnutrition from their foods.

Others problem that made up this problem beside money is the food its self. Do you ever imagine the food that we see every day on supermarket ,that stack of meat, vegetables,milk,candy where do they go? Well we throw them to the junk and the amount of food that we throw to garbage is MANY why do we throw them?is it because they are on a bad condition? NO most of them is still on a good condition but because of how it looks the supermarket or the restaurant throw it away just for goods. 1/3 of the planets food go to waste ,but this food that we waste can feed the nearly 800 million people who starve worldwide

Run and Play

Lisa returns home. She cannot believe her eyes!

Her kids, Amy and Ben, are in the living room. They run around the big and expensive table and shout. This game is enjoyed by them very much.

Lisa stands and looks at them. This is what she sees and hears:

Ben is asked to wait for Amy, but he does not wait. He continues to run. So Amy's request is changed. Now Ben is asked to help Amy. Ben stops and Amy is helped. (Lisa is impressed!)

Now Lisa is invited to join them. "Yes, mummy! Come and join us!" Amy and Ben shout.

So Amy and Ben are joined by Lisa. They run and play. This game is enjoyed very much by all of them. Amy kisses Ben. Ben kisses Amy. Then Lisa is kissed, too.

Now Lisa wants to rest, so she goes into her bedroom. But there are many things on her bed. They are moved by the kids. A blanket is needed and Lisa receives it. She now sleeps in her bed. Amy and Ben are at home, so they are protected by their loving mother.

But, wait! What is that terrible mess? Oh no, the big and expensive table is smashed! Well, the table was not so protected . . .

This article is about the climate crisis that we are now experiencing. One of the cause that makes it happens it is because there's a global confusion about fossil fuels. This is why there are many people, including the Pope and Patriarch, who're now spurring about what's truly good for our commuity. And as of now, the scientist is on their way on finding a zero-carbon energy as a substitute for a fossil fuel that's gonna be out of stock in a few years.
In my opinion, this article is very good to open our mind about the crisis that's happening right now, which can make us think twice on using fossil fuels because it's negative impact are way too dangerous compare to its positive impact to our community. If every one of us think of it that way, I think earth will be much a better place with much less pollution for the incoming generation.

Youtube's Influence on Netizen

Youtube is one of the most popular website which contains lots of videos from around the world. Based on research, its the second most popular website in the world, Alexa rank's version. So, Youtube is most probably on the top 10 most popular website in Indonesia, which means, there are lots of people in Indonesia who are watching Youtube, including the young ones. Because Youtube has lots of videos from around the world and the viewers aren't exclusively the adults, of course that means it has positive and negarive impacts from it.

Starting from the positive ones, we can use Youtube as a media to learn lots of things besides material's to increase our knowledge. Not only that, it can also become a media to express one's creativity. And last but not least, Youtube can also become the source of mptivation and inspiration for the viewers, especially the students.

Even though it has so many positive impacts, Youtube also has some negative impacts if you don't use it wisely. For example, we can't manage our study time beacuse of Youtube. And then, it's also possible for the viewers whos age haven't reach the age of 18 to watch something they shouldn't have watched, because initially, internet was meant for a person who has become an adult (age 18 or so). The third one is, it's most likely for a student viewers to get affected by some negative comments or content from a fellow youtuber, because some of the popular gaming youtube channels are using some bad words when they play certain games, and that's most likely to be imitated by the viewers who idolize them, without knowing how bad the words actually are.

To sum it up, it's actually come back to us. How can we make Youtube as something that can make ourselves a better person through the things around and inside it, and how well can we distance ourselves from the negative ones. That's why a parents guidance and participation are needed to make sure their child will only get the positive impacts from Youtube and prevent them to get the negative ones.
