Sinthya Tarigan ~ Hachiko


The film "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" about a dog who is very loyal to his master, exceeding the limits of loyalty to the average dog.

This story began when Professor Parker Wilson (Richard Gere) finds a small dog at the Railway Station Bedridge, Wonsocked, United States, where he used to go to work and come home from work. Type akita dog was then invited back into the house and named Hachiko.

Parker and his wife Cate (Joan Allen) to take care of the dog Hachiko was growing up and no no day passed without playing with Hachiko Parker.

One day, when Hachiko was growing up, unexpectedly he followed Parker to the station when Parker went to work. Parker was forced out of the train to return home Hachico.

However, it turns out Hachico pick him up at the station at 17.00. Since then Parker let Hachico usher pick her at the station.

The kiosk owners, merchants, and pedestrians, as well as "commuters" (those who work) were amazed by the behavior of the dog Hachiko, who did not like in general.

All the people around Station Hachiko Bedridge loved dogs and always greet it like a man.

Until one day, Hachiko did not find his master's arrival at the station at 17.00.

Parker Wilson apparently died of a heart attack when he was teaching, while Hachiko never seemed to understand about the death of Parker.

After the death of Parker, Cate sold his house and leave Bedridge. While the girls Hachiko maintained by Parker, Andy Wilson (Sarah Roemer).

Hachiko repeatedly ran away from home and wanted to go to the station, hoping he would find his master's return.

Andy always pick Hachiko at the station until Andy finally gave up Hachiko went. Hachiko lived at the station and at 17.00, he will sit in a circle in front of the station, awaiting the arrival of his master.

The uniqueness of Hachiko's behavior attracted the attention of people around there, even writing about it was published in the newspapers so that the dog story is a legend. So people are alternately feeding Hachiko.

Hachiko allegiance lasted until the tenth year of the death of Parker. Until finally in the winter ten years, Hachiko died in a circle on the station at midnight.

Making this film inspired by the true story of a dog named Hachiko who live within the period of 1923-1935 in Japan.

The story presented in Hachiko: A Dog's Story exactly the same as the original story. In Japan, a monument to commemorate the fidelity of Hachiko statue erected in front of Shibuya Station.

Sinthya Tarigan ~ No Healthy Cigarette


Hey do you think smoking is cool? Well if you do then you will regret it later because not only will you possibly die but along with that you won't be very pretty. Now today a lot of girls and boys in their teens smoke now you may think so what but 5,000 are under 18 and that means they could be 12 or going to the extreme 9. Now you don't have to have a cigarette in your hand to be smoking, if your parents smoke you get second hand smoke which is technically the same thing because you are still inhaling smoke actually even more. So now that you know a little of how smoking then here is a lot more.

What I mean by if you start smoking then you won't be very pretty is not if you smoke for one day it s if you smoke for 10 to 36 years. Wrinkles came from age and wrinkles from smoking are a big difference. Because wrinkles from age are well from age, but wrinkles from smoking are because the tobacco settles in your sink. Think of it this way your thirty and you wrinkles ALL over that would be because you smoke. Or maybe your 65 or 75 then your wrinkles are ok.

So another thing that happens to you is your nails and toe nails will turn yellow. Now you may know that your finger nails turn yellow because of the cigarette being near them, but what you probably don't know is that your toe nails turn yellow because not all of the tobacco gets out of your nose and your mouth. But not all of it comes out so it gets inside you and gets out through your toe nails.

So as you can see smoking is bad for you, your health and your appearance. And this is just some things that can happen. So if you want to be on oxygen or have tracheal tube for the rest of your life then that's your choice but for the people that want to stop smoking do something before it's to late. Smoking kills.

Vebriani Elsa Urat ~ Story of Life


Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you would have never realized your potential, strength, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, and lost moments of true greatness. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, and flat.
The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. If someone hurts you, forgive them. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
Make every day count.  Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before,and actually listen. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it.

Irma Riana ~ Flood


Flood occurs when it rains heavily. Rivers are the only outlets of the rain water. When it rains heavily, the river bed swells. There is overflow of water on the banks in the river. We call it flood. As the rain continues for days the, water level in the river rises. We call it high flood. Generally, flood helps the farmers. There is deposit of silt in agricultural land. It makes the land fertile and thus helps in the increase of food production.
But high flood is harmful. It destroys the crops. Very often fertile lands are unfortunately covered with sands. In that case flood is an adversary of the farmers. Many thatched houses are washed away in flood. The road links between one village and the other are also affected.
Working class people suffer a lot. Because! They do not get any work arid earn nothing. Cattle also face the problem of food as the grazing lands lie under water. Drinking water is another problem during flood. People take impure water. Thus epidemic attacks the people in flood affected area.
Deforestation is one of the reasons of flood. People are cutting down trees and destroying the forests. The rain water instead of being absorbed down through the tree roots flows on the surface. Soil erosion is another disadvantage of flood. Very often the course of the river changes. The passage of the river gets blocked with heavy deposit of soil on the mouth. It results in more and more flood as the excess rain water finds obstacle in being let out into the sea.
High flood inflicts untold human misery. Government help at the time of flood is often inadequate. The relief- work by Voluntary organisations is also quite negligible. People endure this natural calamity without grumbling.

Tears Behind My Eyes


When you look into my eyes they may seem to be empty,
My eyes are full of tears, although you don't see any.

So many times my heart has been filled with pain,
And deep behind my eyes are pockets of tears that are ready to fall like rain.

I know at times I may appear to be tough,
but sometimes to bear the pain and heartache can be too much.

Sometimes I try and hide the tears that I cried just last night,
Tears that soaked my pillow wet long past mornings first light.

I know how it feels to be pushed away by someone you love,
I'm not afraid to admit my tears because I know that there's a far greater love, one that comes from above.

Happiness too will be mine, so until then I'll keep my my head up and eyes towards the skies,
And never allowing anyone to see the tears hidden behind my eyes.

Marsha Epriliasari ~ Think of You


I'm trying 2 let u know how i feel
this love has never felt so real
Ur on my mind all night long
and every time i hear these songs
I think of u

You show me how true love feels
u make me think if this is real
When u say those last three words
i feel so good
and baby, i think of u

You do anything 2 make me happy
and everything 2 make me feel good
but there's nothing u could do
2 make me stop thinking of u

You'll always be in my heart
me and you will never part,
When i lay down 2 sleep
i can still see the visions of u & me
Ur on my mind day n night
i hope you'll never leave my side
Ur love 2 me means the world

that's why i always think of u
