Today was awesome. And I just found my interest in reading some English blogs actually i just red two blogs. Hahaha.. But every time I read a blog I remember my lecturer saying that YOU MUST READ A LOT! Yes .. But I have no interest on reading your lesson books which has no picture inside and I have no time opening my dictionary to search any new words that I read on novel or short story. Since English is a second language and it's not my mother tongue I have to translate it first and understand it on my own language in my way of thinking. I love reading a lot. Especially fiction stories. But in my language, Bahasa Indonesia. Sometimes I wonder why should I learn English and why do I like English since I was in junior high school. Is it a coincidence? Or does it has a connection with who will I be in future? Talking about the future.. All of us never know our own future. You can go to the future using time machine just like what Doraemon does with his magic pocket. Hahahha.. It's all in your imagination. But we have some thing that we like which may connect our future. For example; when a kid loves constructing Lego may become an architect. Do you remember some common jobs that usually a kindegarten student say? I want to be a doctor, policeman, or teacher. Hahaha... It's funny sometimes when we remember what we wanted in the past is not like what is happening in the present. We face reality and it's like we are made by the reality. Actually we create our reality. But we are used to go with the flow. What is common at that time becomes our dreaming or what we wanna be without considering or commemorating our first dream and what we are truly interested with. At last, we lost and didnt know who we are. Hahaha... That's what happening in me and now before it's too late, I'm trying to know what I really want. I love art. Now I am studying English Literature. In here, I learn about philosophy, linguistics, many literary works and the difficult one.. I learn about writing esp. write an essay. My next plan after graduating I really want to continue my study majoring in Art so I'll get my title Master of Art. Art has alot of hidden meaning in each work. They tell stories, they give you wisdom, they build your imagination and they lead you to the way where you can see many wonderful things which is unexpected. Art is not only about painting, it also about writing, music, and so on. Well, at last I dont know what will I be if I get a chance to study art. I have no idea about that but I do what I like and let God leads me to His willingness towards me. Amen.

@ali kabosh: Thank you for reading my blog. Yes.. since English is an international language, every country where English becomes the second language must learn about it for their own good and knowledge.
@Mr. Bob: Thank you for the encouragement. Yes I would survive and learn it. I only hate lesson books especially linguistics books. Syntax, semantic, phonology, phonetic, etc. But I love reading other blogs which tells about their experiences, dreams, opinions, stories, etc. Yes.. we are used to write an essay in the 5th semester for preparing our thesis and diary in the 1st semester.
I will do as best as I can do. Stay happy and keep smile! Thank you for the advice and keep correcting me if I made a mistake.
@Expector Smith: I like learning English. My question why do I like it? It's like a gift. I dont know when it started or began. And why? In my life, I always do everything that poeple want me to do as long as they are happy. So, when I was in Junior High School my teacher always asked me to join this competition and that competition and it's continuing until I was in Vocational High School. They sent me for Debate, Speech, Story Telling though I didnt know why it happened. If I have passion in learning other language not only English it means that it's a gift and it is not because of me. In fact, I dont know what it is for .. in future.
Hi Natand
I have enjoyed reading your blog .English for me is a second langue but I think most of us are forced to learn it to communicate with others and its the way to study modern science and to know various community cultures . Thanks
As a teacher I encourage people to read and write. Those two things teach you the language. Speaking and listening can slowly be added as you go. If you find things you like to read, you will learn more than studying something boring.
It makes me happy to see that you've found some ways to acquire more English skills that you enjoy doing. Keep up the good work!
I assume you don't really enjoy learning English, right?
English can be the answer, though.
