things i like to do

There are many things that I like to do. I like to play the computer, watch TV, eat snacks, and also shopping.

When I am at home having nothing to do, I like to play computer or watch TV. I usually open the internet and play, if not I usually play games on the computer like freecell, solitaire, pinball, hearts and also minesweeper. Sometimes I am lazy to turn on my computer, so I watch TV instead. I like watching DVD’s, movies, music and other things that are good to watch.

The next thing I love to do is shopping. I like to go shopping to Melawai, ITC, Kings and other places where the stuff aren’t so expensive. I usually go shopping with my friends and also with my mom and my cousins. I also like to just go window shopping to the malls. I really like to just go out of my house and walk around malls.

Another thing I like to do is eat. I really like to eat, especially eating snacks. Sometimes my friends and family are impressed seeing how much and how often I like to eat. My stomach gets hungry quickly, that’s I like eating snacks. Sometimes I can eat four times a day and eat snacks a lot.

There are still many things I like to do. Probably the things I wrote are the most things I like doing. This is all I can say about the things I like doing.

Draw to Realize

I like drawing and sketching. Those activities can make my mind imagine something unreal. I love imagine something, somehow I called myself as a dreamer. I like to draw something since I was in playgroup. When I was child I have interest in picture that full of color, unique and different from the other. At that time I knew it as ‘abstract picture’, actually I do not know the real mean of it I like to drawing something on the wall, writing something, like what I have done in the morning, what I have seen before, just to remember something I have done. I like to use crayon at that time, for me, crayon can express my idea and full of color, I do not like to use pen or else. Drawing something means imagine and express my idea on a paper or another media, I love to have fantasy, but don’t judge me as a ‘dreamer only’, someday I want to make my dreams come true. I also love to sketch someone, I like to remember someone by sketch him or her. I have trouble to remember someone’s name, for me it is easier to recognize someone by imagine something’s unique from his or her, therefore I like to sketch someone. When my friends have birthday, if I can not give them something special, I made picture of his or her. May be the picture isn’t similar enough to his or her face, but I love to do it, to make my friends feel happy in their birthday, I do not know if they were happy or not, the important thing is I have try to make them happy with my picture. I do not have good skill to draw and sketch something but I would like to try to make my skill in drawing better. Therefore when I was in junior high school I like to participate in competitions and events, actually the result is not make me happy, make me disappointed. I never win in those competitions, but at least I have more experience and my skill become better. In senior high school, I never join in any competition, drawing is just my hobby, only to have fun, and fulfill my time when I felt bored with my activities. Then I choose architecture when I graduate from senior high school, to make one of my dream comes true, ‘drawing something become real’ not only in my mind, I would like to make people know, “those buildings, I ‘draw’ them, and I make them become a real thing”. Drawing for me is realizing my mind in real form.

Good work, bravo.

Anime, suki ka?

My hobby currently is watching Animes. Animes with certain genres of course. I like animes that has deep meaning inside its story.
One title of an anime I watch currently is Ouran High School Host Club. Its kind of funny. Well, not a standard funny if you want to know. The funny is more like a Japanese kind of joke. I got a hard time understanding these jokes.
I mentioned that I like animes that has deep meanings. In this luxurious high school based anime, the main male character is an obnoxious person that is really kind to rich and luxurious ladies and harsh to commoners. Though, he is kind of an idiot (not in grades). In his idiot ism, he controls his friend as a king of a host club--a club where handsome guys who have time treats ladies who also have time as a host serving their guest. In this club, everyone shares their pain, sorrow, and happiness. When the king wants to break up the club without good reasons, the member of the club rejects it and finds out what has happen in their friendship.
In some animes, you may found a devastating storyline. But also beware because animes also holds Japanese culture. Therefore, their culture is different from ours. Especially in drinking, smoking, and such perverted stuffs.
There are lot more animes that surpass the quality of Indonesian electronic cinema. I suggest, those who love to watch electronic cinema but realize the fact that there are lots of negative thought inside some of it, try watching animes. Well, its just a suggestion but...

Good work, thanks for posting.

Dislike what other like? Or like what other dislike?

Well, everyone surely has different things to like and dislike. But Some people share the same likes or dislikes. A group of people likes to hear music. A group doesn't like to hear.

For several things such as music, movie, TV show, and drama's, I dislike what common people like. And I like what common people dislike. This way, I could understand different things that common people doesn't know.

It may be odd for some people to hear what I like and dislike. But let us see things this way, some people may notice that they gain something from what they like or dislike. If we like things different from others, we may find another point of view, it may be a wider point of view or a narrower one.

For example, if we like listening music we may get interested in playing music, yet sooner or later we will get ourselves sitting next to a piano or handling a guitar. Therefore, if we like to hear some music genre that is not much liked by others and if we can be patient enough, we could understand why a minor group of people would like some music genres that is not liken--even thought as a weird music--by common people.

To like or not to like something usually doesn't depend on one's thought about the thing. Sometimes we like something before we think about it. But if you take on my liking preferences as an example, you will find it as a contradiction towards the theory above.

I think before liking something. Who's asking the question of my preference? Why is he/she asking it? Then I'd usually answer it contrary to what commoners answer. Then, I will begin to find a way to like what I've answered.

To me myself, understanding these facts really depresses me. Such weird way of thinking do actually exist in my mind. To me, I don't really understand why I like something.

Just to mention, my liking these days--J-Dramas, Animes, J-Music, and lots of Otaku stuffs-- starts to be similar to more people's liking each day. Maybe someday I have to find another thing to like and change my liking. Or, maybe I have to find another way to like my liking. Not by searching a reason to like it. Like others, I want to like something with their pure heart. The pure feeling formed by witnessing something for a few times, or even once. The pure feeling to not reason why do we like something!

Good thought.

I am fond of reading. I like reading a bibliography books. Bibliography book is a book which consist a person life’s story. It tells you about how a person can reach their success and how a great person can rise up from their failure. Bibliography is different from a comic book, which mostly just to be an entertainment. It doesn’t same as a novel, which can make you crying. Bibliography teaches life’s lesson. From this life’s lesson, you can get wisdom. So, bibliography gives wisdom to the reader.
I love reading a bibliography book because it gives life’s lesson and wisdom. By reading bibliography, you can be more wisely to act in this world. From bibliography book, I have gotten a precious life’s lesson, hard work. All of the bibliography books, that, I have read until now, has a same teaching. Every bibliography books teach you that the most important thing to get success in this life is hard work. From Soeharto’s bibliography until Bill Clinton’s bibliography, teaches about hard work. They offer same key to open the success door, hard work.

Good work.
