[BLACKOUT]

My memories start to fade one by one.  I type them into a story in order to keep those memories alive. As I finish the last paragraph the lights go out. “Damn” …didn’t I pay the power this month? I thought to myself.   As I walked out onto my balcony to check the power box I noticed that there’s light coming from my neighbor’s house. Annoyed by the situation and seeing the power box seems to be running normally I slam closed the door of the power box and storm angrily back into the house in search of a flashlight.  I noticed that one by one, the houses around the complex start to lose power.

The blackout is quiet violent like a thunderstorm as the sparks coming out from each electrical pole on the street. I feel something strange is happening around here. I mean, why would the peaceful complex of Mir have this kind of blackout? Quickly, I head to the second floor to grab the flashlight in my room.

Arriving at my room, I find out that the door’s open. I don’t even remember that I opened the door. I step inside; grab the flashlight and the door suddenly shuts itself with a loud BANG. The wind coming from the window is quite strong. As I descend from the second floor, the door of my room seemingly opens and closes, slamming itself each times.

Stepping out from my house, I realize that the whole complex is so silent. I don’t even hear any sound from each house. Could it be that the people in each house decided to stay silent? Ignoring the current situation around the neighborhood, I decided to go the nearby park. When I arrive there, I see a recognizable and familiar man. It’s the old man I knew back when I was a kid.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“They've come,” he says.

I don’t quite understand what he says. He is known to blabber about those things around Mir. A loud, crash-like sound is heard by the house behind me when I’m about to ask the old man. I turn around to see what is going on. When I turn back again, I see that the old man is lying on the ground. I check his vitals and I realize that he is dead. What a poor, old man. He probably died of heart attack due to the loud sound. Or is he…?

Moments later, I question myself about what is the meaning of the old man’s words. “They’ve come,” he said. Who are “they”? My concentration snaps as I hear a screeching scream coming from the house behind me. Curious what is going on, I go investigate and without any hesitation, I step into the house.

First the loud crash sound and now the scream coming from this house. I wonder what is going here. I step into the living room, only to witness that the whole family was killed by something. I see a crimson floor, a bloodstained sofa, a broken family picture, and three bodies lying here. What surprises me is the message on the wall, written with their blood: WE COME. I’m shocked by this because this message is not even there when I step inside the living room. I’m just standing still; panicking then suddenly everything goes black.

At first, I did not understand what the old man said. I did not understand until this very moment. So… the old man refers “them” to it.... Heh, if only I could notice this sooner, I might not end up like this. Before I close my eyes, an idea slipped into my mind. Yes, it is the name for the next chapter in my life. Wait, maybe not the next, it probably be the last chapter of my life. Unfortunately for me, I need to go for an eternal rest. I shall name my final chapter: The Arrival.

War Horse Review

Hello everyone! I've come back again, writing another piles of posts! Now, I'm about to give you a movie review!

“War horse” is a war movie that is directed in 2011 by Steven Spielberg; the famous movie director. The movie is based on the famous book titled “War Horse” too, which is written by Michael Morpugo in 1982. The story tells us about a boy who lives in the countryside of Devon named Albert Narracott that is played by Jeremy Irvine. The boy has a miraculous, yet strong stallion named Joey and both of them share a very strong bond. Despite the strong bond with his horse, Albert has a complicated relationship with his family, especially his father. His father is Ted Narracott, which is played by Peter Mullan. Even though this is a war movie, interestingly, the main character is Joey the Horse.

The film sets on the countryside of Devon, England; the story starts with the birth of a foal. Albert Narracott, who is wandering around there, witnesses the birth of the foal. Albert falls in love with the foal in the first glance. As time passes, the foal is purchased by Ted Narracott, which stated that the foal has a great potential. When Ted brings the foal home, Albert is very excited that the horse he likes is on his farm. Several days pass with taming and exercise, Albert makes a strong bond with the foal. He names the foal Joey. But because Narracott’s harvest is a fail, Ted decides to sell Joey to the military because the war is coming. Captain Nicholls (Tom Hiddleston) of the Army steps on to the scene and sees the bond between Albert and Joey. The Captain makes a promise that he will take care of Joey like Albert does. When the Army is about to go, Albert goes to Joey and says that they will be united again despite the war has separated them. But will they….?

“War Horse” is one of the unique films that have many interesting points as Steven makes a war film using an animal’s perspective, which is from Joey the Horse. Actors and actresses give the best performance to make the characters alive, like Jeremy Irvine plays the countryside boy Albert Narracott. Joanna Johnston, who is the costume designer, made the costume and props really detailed and look alike 1918 style, making it fits the setting of the movie. Music, theme and sound effects give an excellent, yet powerful sound quality throughout the movie and it is also fit with the movie settings.

Overall, this is one of the good and the best movies. I highly recommend this to people and animal lovers alike to watch this film. Many war films tell us about the situation of World War I but it is from human perspective. What makes this film unique than the other war films is that we see the situation of World War I using a horse’s perspective. From Joey’s perspective, we can see the situation happened during that time and make us to understand how the war changed everyone. Guaranteed no regrets; this film is worth the watch!

LB Movie Study Thingy: War Horse!

Hey guys! I’m here again, writing my miserable pile of blogs.

My class and our teacher are watching a movie in the LB Lesson (yay)! The title of the movie is called “War Horse”. This is an old movie that takes place in WWI and overall, it is about horses, wars and such.

So here is the beginning: the movie start with the born of a foal. This foul is later called Joey. This horse was sent to the auction with her mother. Joey was taken to the auction; leaving her mother. In the auction, a man named Ted Narracott see Joey as a good horse. Not only him that saw Joey’s a good horse, his landlord, Lyons, was interested too.Then Ted and Lyons have an auction battle and Ted gave his best bet with “30 Guineas!” and went home with Joey. As Joey and Ted arrived, Ted’s wife, Rosie, got mad that Ted did not acquire a plowing horse. But in the other hand, Albert, who watched Joey born, was happy. Rosie got surprised that Ted bought Joey for 30 Guineas. Rosie knew that they won’t afford the money for renting on Lyons’ land. Shortly after, Albert then trains Joey for a short time.

Lyons saw that the Narracotts won’t afford the rent because of Joey. Ted had no choice but to use Joey to plow the bottomfield; an area that was full of stones and is hard to be plowed. Joey seems to refuse to use the harness. Disappointed, Ted bring his sawed-off shotgun and aim at Joey. Albert and Rose stop him and Albert asks him to give him and Joey time. When they're plowing, the land is near-impossible to be plowed and laughs and mocks are everywhere around them. After a few attempts, rain falls. The soil become soft and Joey manages to plow the field and happiness flow in The Narracotts. After patching up Joey and Albert, Rose explains why Ted drinks and limping. Rose said that Ted took part in the Boer war in Africa. Ted killed lots of men and saw his mates got killed. He drinks in order to forget what happened in the past. Albert then took Ted’s sash. Ted start to farm and Albert takes Joey to gallop around the field. Shortly after, a heavy rain came down to the area. The rain destroyed the crops, making the Narracotts to become desperate.

The town has an announcement that the war is coming; the Germans are advancing towards France. On the other side, Albert runs towards the stable to greet Joey. But what he found that Joey was nowhere to be found. Albert asked Rose about what happened, and assuming that Ted took Joey. Rosie’s face expression makes Albert’s assumption true, then Albert rushes to the town where Ted took Joey.

In the town, young men volunteered themselves to war. The scene then focuses on Ted that sells Joey to become a warhorse. Albert interfere it and asking to join the army if they take Joey. But Albert age was below 19, that means he can’t join the army yet. Captain Nicholls of the army see the bond between Albert and Joey, he then promise to Albert that he will take care of Joey like Albert did. Before Joey goes, Albert ties Ted’s sash to her neck, stating that the sash will bring good luck to Joey.

Joey then had taken to the tables and meet Topthorn the Stallion. At that time, Joey is still uncomfortable but in short period of time she becomes calm. The next morning all horses were train to gallop. As the horses gallop, we could see that Topthorn and Joey are equal in speed but in the end, Joey is faster than the Topthorn.  Joey and Topthorn seem to have a relationship

.

The scenes take us where the British has across the border and prepare to ambush the German camp. The strategy seems to work; the Germans were caught defenseless. As the British charge and shove the Germans to the nearby forest, the Germans man the machineguns that hide in the bushes. The machineguns slaughter the British army, including Captain Nicholls. Fortunately for Joey, Topthorn and several other horses, they dodge the bullets and gallop across the machineguns. Joey and the others were taken until Topthorn and Major Jamie Stewart was the last man standing. Knowing that he can’t escape from the Germans, Major Jamie surrenders. One of the German Officer state that they won’t leave the camp unguarded. After he said that, the camera goes upward and we see many horses and men were slaughtered. The scene then proceeds to Joey and Topthorn was taken to the German HQ.

Well, that was the first part! It’s almost half-way, so I might write the Part 2.

It probably longer than this summary, or even shorter. We'll see it later....

Well, off I go! (rides a horse and gallops to the sunset)

I'm Back!

It is a very long, long time that I don't open my blog.But here I am; writing my blog once again!

Let me start with something cool. Me and my class are doing a topic about Argumentative essay and such. We study about arguments and write a sample argumentative speech then proceed to make an essay. Ms. Hoddinott asked us to make an argumentative essay about the fatal car accident happened in Jakarta.

There are four criteria with the maximum score is 4 each. So the total score will be 24. I was expecting to get +20 but unfortunately I got below it. Well, it's close enough with my expectation. This is because I was lack in putting evidence to support my argument. I actually have the evidence during my research but I did not put it into my essay. Also, my grammars and the use of words are not good (but I'm not sure if this affect one of the criteria).

Aside from the scores and other wishy-washy things happened on my essay, I quiet enjoy my score. Maybe later in the future, I'll try to add things to my essay and cover my old mistakes on my previous essays. I would like to add evidence more to my essay, maybe it could help my scores!

Also, last week, me and my class had a in-class debate about globalization! I was in the pro side during that time. It was a very intense debate but I manage to give all my best to my argument and of course: OBJECTIONS!

The total score of the criteria is 24 and I did not expect to get the maximum score!

Later in the future, I would like to add more arguments, evidence and such when I'm debating, so I could make the opposing team to be nervous, confuse and get "torn" apart :D

Anyways, that's all from me today.

Should the father of 13 year-old boy, who killed seven people and injured others in a car accident, be held responsible for allowing his son to drive underage?

There are lots of issues and reports of car accident. Among those reports is the Underage Driving Accident. People love cars; they can make you travel with your loved ones or make you stylish. But should a 13 year-old boy and other underage-driving children drive around with their cars? This is a very important issue because recently, there is a car accident which involves Ahmad Dhani’s youngest son: Ahmad Abdul “Dul” Qodir Jaelani. Dul was involved in a deadly pile-up on Jagorawi toll road south of Jakarta early on Sunday that claimed seven lives. Dhani is responsible for Dul’s car accident because he was the one who raise and treat Dul.

From news report, Dul had claimed seven lives during the car accident at it are stated that Dhani is aware that Dul make his driver go on a holiday before the car accident. Dhani’s Brother, Jerry, said Dul was never allowed to drive and that the car was Dhani’s. The police also found out that there is tires’ mark on the road; indicates that the car is swerving. This indicates that Dul was driving recklessly.

Due to this accident, Dul can be charged for underage and reckless driving which took other lives. By law, this is punishable with six years of imprisonment according to Sr. Comr. Rikwanto, the Jakarta Police spokesman. But the Indonesian Police Watch chairman Neta S. Pane said that considering his juvenile status, Dul only be charged with half the maximum jail term, as regulated in article 26 of the Criminal Code.

The thing is that Dul lost his memories. The last he remembered is that he is trying to get in front of another car, which means that Dul is really drive recklessly. But on the other hand, Dul might tell the truth. Dul’s girlfriend said that when she wanted to be drop-off on the nearest mall. They wait there but the Taxi didn’t show up. She said that Dul insisted to take her home. After taking her to home that, Dul is rushing to get home, which lead to a devastating accident.

Dhani is very responsible for this, as he is the one who treat his sons. He also allows his kids to drive underage and allows them to get a driver license; he is too pampering his sons. Neta also said the Dhani must also be brought to justice for allowing Dul to drive. Article 57 of the Criminal Code says anyone who intentionally provides an opportunity or facilitates a crime faces the same sentence as charged to the perpetrator.

My conclusion is that Dhani is responsible for Dul’s Car Accident because he is the one who treat and raise his children on that way. Article 57 of the Criminal Code says anyone who intentionally provides an opportunity or facilitates a crime faces the same sentence as charged to the perpetrator. This means that Dhani will also get the punishment like Dul did (but Dul’s halved).

What I have learn about "Blogging"

So, back then I was never understood about blogging. I see them frequently, and I still don't get the idea of it. All my riddles where answered when Ms. H make blogging as our learning unit.

Blogging is simple: you share ideas and things. Not only that, the blog can be your internet diary or the way you express yourself in a situation. You can share what music you like to hear, a picture of an event or a funny video that make you laugh to people you know. People have different things to share, you might get a new knowledge!

Not also gaining knowledge, we also can create interaction between bloggers. We interact by commenting, which consist of compliment, information, connection, question and proof read. Compliment is our way to interacting to the post (such as commenting positive things). Information is used when we want to add new info about the topic of the post. Connection are when we interacting each other with sharing. At the end, we ask question about the post. Last but not least, we need to proofread our comment before posting. This is to avoid grammar errors and such.

Many bloggers share their hobbies, what they like and dislike or something that people are unfamiliar with. Not only those things, they have good templates (even they make the template!) and wallpapers. My fellow friends have pretty and awesome blogs. Sadly, this will be my "final" blog post, but I will make more post than in the past!

This unit also teach me to be careful with my personal information, or else someone might do something bad with it. 

Well, this is what I've learn about blogging. I am still new to this, but I will be more creative in my blog. This is not the end. This is just the beginning. 

All of my questions are answered.

Player Appearance Customizer? An Addon that is the reason why I spend more time on Garry's Mod!

In Garry's Mod, it looks somehow boring and mainstream to see a player running around using a same character (player model) like you have. But this customizer lets you to customize your character/model just as you want it to look like.

This addon/extension is created by a player named Capsadmin (Caps, for short). He owns a server called Metastruct that have the addon. The server itself gathered a lots of players from almost every part of the world! And lots of players running around using their PaC which is somehow reflects how creative they are.

So this is one of my creation as an example.

An Armor, what do you expect?

Lot's of player show their PaCs and ask "how was it?" or "what do you think?" and such; asking opinions from other players

The customizer gives us lots of possibility to create a character. You can give wings, tails, ears, swords as weapon, a weapon model to replace your current weapon, and many more!

Not only boys take their interest on this, there are several girls playing on the server and their PaC is good (which is their own character or base from an anime character).

If you want to see it, check the addon site which is here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=104691717

Gallery!

It's Sonic and Blaze!

It's Batman! :O
nb: that player is a girl 

Wario and Waluigi!

"Yes, yes. Thanks for cheering me up"
