Dear Captain,

It seems everything is fine again. But there are often different kinds of questions in Nkita's simple brain. And I'd always love to hear your views about them. Hehehe.

Captain, you still haven't answered me why you like calling me little wild flower. I am really curious. I sometimes think I am a mild flower too. How's Kaili and Jackie? Are they taller now? You told me Jackier was almost as tall as Nikita. Does he have a little girlfriend now? Is he rebellious?

My Jakarta Holidays

It was near midnight when I started writing this blog. It was raining cats and dogs, and normally the best time to hit the snooze button. Unfortunately, I drank a bucketful of coffee in the meeting today, so now I am wide awake. That's really ironic, isn't it?

For the past few weeks, it's been raining nearly everyday and tonight it's no exception. While I was grappling for things to write, suddenly this rain reminds me of my Jakarta's visit early this year. It was spur of the moment decision to g

What to write about?

As I finished all my English courses and chatting with friends is not enough for my writing I decided that I need to write more. That’s why I decided to make my blog. I was thinking what about it could be. As I don’t like difficult and controversial topics, I decided to choose something neutral. What about movies? I like watching different movies, except horror movies 9but sometimes it could happen too). I like different stories that it has. So I would like to write about movies, which I watch a

There are three stages of knowing new words. If you recognise a word by reading, it is in your passive vocabulary. If you can translate the word into English, it is already in your active vocabulary. And at the third stage you are able to use it in a sentence while speaking to a foreigner.

If you are at elementary level, your first dictionary is the vocabulary list of your English textbook you started to learn from. These lists usualy can be found at the back of books. When you

That you're only "Human"

Not that I'm saying that this is perfect,but then nothing ought to be perfect anyway.
So I suppose there will always come that time when you need to lie about a certain thing, another when will you feel the urge to take what isn't yours,another when your feelings will be so messed up you will end up breaking someone. Another when you will be too helpless to stand by those you promised to always be there for. Another when your weakness will win over your optimism. And another when you will fall an

The value of the spoken word

A word can make someone eventually admire you . A word can make someone massively dislike you.

A word can pump hope inside someone's soul . A word sometimes is quite enough to slaughter someone's dreams.

A word sometimes can describe what a long sentence could not define.. A word can establish a whole productive conversation . A word can rip a conversation or a topic into pieces. being sarcastic all the times might attract some people to your side but keep in mind it will get birth to others that

Dear Captain,

I just came back from a walk in the countryside near my grandma's home. I asked a long leave and acompanied Ling for a couple of days and I'm leaving again soon.

The road I was walking on was very thin, as thin as myself. I was thinking when Ling became so strong. She is no more the weak girl who was sent to the sanatorium by her father. She forgave her hubby and started to work. She told me divorce wouldn't solve the problem and it was an evasive choice for her. She believed her

STORY OF THE DAY

"Man has uncontrollable laughter for three years! (But his wife is not amused)".

This is one of the funniest and craziest stories I've ever found in the internet:

"Huug Bosse went in for hip surgery three years ago, and when he woke up he had a mean case of uncontrollable laughter. And he hasn't been able to stop laughing ever since. Understandably, his wife is absolutely miserable. Watch the video interview, and feel this woman's pain".

Writing chalenge : Why I write

Write to connect people.

I don't really like to write. But when I read some blogs, how a blog can be a micro and a simplified information, and how a blog could provide many great essays and information, I realise writing is an art and a tool to brighten and broaden people's mind. Just like a painter, who try to describe and put his emotion in his canvas, a writer with his creativity has to put an effort to choose a word, and make a clear picture that is on his mind. Good writer can describe thi

Positive encouragement…

In this week, I want to share one nice thing to every person which I notice in my self. I don’t always remember to do it, but, when I do, I’m amazed by the reaction. The little bit of compliments is enough to pull a smile out of some of the most stressed out moment. So I wasn’t surprised when I came across a study out of maximum people, that the same area of the brain lights up, when we are admires their task. And I realized again a positive complement is the perfect way to design life besides E
