Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena is one of SMAN 3 annual program. This program is realized by OSIS organisation, and by student which become Magang OSIS. Dewa Athena is kind of sports week, there are some sport competitions such as football for boys and girls, badminton, relay, basketball, and many more. The participant is the 1st and the 2nd grade, each class are required to join all competiton, if not then the class will get "WO" and pay 100k for every WO.

The competition is held on different day, depends on who's the player, for example 1st grade do football on saturday, and the 2nd grade do football on friday. This program is important because through this event we can build our unity, friendship, and our spirit of competition. And we can know each other in our class better.

The first round for every competition for 1st grade is held on 25th of March, the 2nd round is on 1st of April, and final round will be held on 8th of April. Because of Dewath is always be hold on saturday, I can't always join the game, because I need to practice for upcoming KPA's concert. I just get to play 1 game that is Gobak Sodor, but my team is loose on the 2nd round.

Learning from Nature

The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or “essential qualities, innate disposition” , and in ancient times, literally meant “birth” . Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis, which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop their own accord. 

The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansion of the original notion. Within the various uses of the word today, “nature” often refers to geology and wildlife. Nature can refer to general realm of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects-the way that particular things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the earth. It is often taken to mean the “natural environment” or wilderness . [source : wikipedia] . According to Oxford dictionary nature means all the plants, animals and things that exist in the universe that are not made by people.

And from what I learn nature means, every living things in our environment that has their own relation, and because of that relation, we can live as one and made a good life . And basically Nature means “Everything” , and there is a saying “Look deep into nature and you will find and understand everything better” .  Which means, we can learn from nature, if we take notice of it better. There are plenty of wisdom we can learn from nature and also we can get plenty of benefit if we keep it better.

Although humans comprise only a minuscule proportion of the total living biomass on Earth, the human effect on nature is disproportionately large. The development of technology by human race has allowed the greater exploitation of natural resources and has helped to alleviate some risk from natural hazards. Man-made threats to the Earth’s natural environment include pollution, deforestation, and disasters.  Because of the greed of human, entire ecosystems, habitats and species that have existed for many thousands and in some cases millions of years could disappear in a little as a few decades.

Humans have burned, cut down, poisoned and torn their way through nature’s resources and treasures at a much faster rate than the Earth can sustain. [source : www.pri.org] .  Because of it our natural environment has been damaged in many way. Going green is easier than you think. There are little things you can do every day to help reduce greenhouse gases and make a less harmful impact on the environment. Taking care of the Earth is not just a responsibility -- it's a privilege. One of many little thing we can do is to pay attention to how you use water. The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good.

And in other way we can also learn so many thing from nature, just like from moon and night sky, The decreasing moon often might feel depressing yet it teaches us to accept the fate and come back anew. A night sky without stars looks curtailed while without a moon is unfinished. But when both of them accompany each other, the view certainly says too many things. You realize that however important you might be, you need someone or the other to complete you.

In other case, butterfly also gives us something to learn. Butterfly is the most fragile mortal existing. It has a long journey of struggles which starts from it coming out of cocoon till turning out into beautiful life filling the world with colors. At every stage it falls in the face of ground, yet every time it rises and tries to shine bright. It teaches us that “within you is the power to rise above any situation or struggle, and transform into the Brightest, Strongest version of you EVER!”.

A tree doesn’t discriminates while giving fruits, rainfall is received by rich as well as poor while the sky shelters Hindus, Muslims, Christians and all other religions then why is it that humans have so many differences? Thus the best teaching that we can inculcate in us from nature is equality and loving unconditionally.

Thanking

It is really important to show your gratitude even for a very little thing. So, today I 'd like to say thank you to one of my friend Afi.

On Monday I didn't bring my wallet, but I need some money for taking local transportation to go to school because I have an urgent appointment, so I borrowed some money from her. I borrowed like 2000 rupiah, I take local transportation from Istana Sepatu Merdeka to SMAN 3. Thanks to her i could make it. If I didn't take the local transportation, I wouldn't get to school on time. And everything will become complicated.

First Holiday of 2k17

So, during this semester holiday, the most thing I do is just sleep and eat at home. But I got bored doing nothing, so I suggested to my parent to go somewhere to get some fresh air. And finally, we decided to go to Garut.

I go to Garut on 1st January 2017, why? Because we think there won't be any traffic jam during the new year eve, but then there is some traffic jam, but not too bad. We go to Garut by car, we went at 10 a.m and got there on 3 p.m.

The very first thing I do when i got to the inn that my family stayed at is unpacking thing from car and then sleep, because I feel so tired already. I sleep like, one and half hour, and got up because I must praying. The weather is getting cold there, so I going down floor and eating some food that we bought from Bandung. At night, my uncle grilled some corn and some satay, but i got sleepy because of the cold air, so I didn't eat any of that and go to sleep early.

On the next morning, I wake at five thirty a.m and I pray Subuh. The weather is so freaking cold, but thanks to my aunt who cook surabi, I feel more warm. I eat cereal and some milk as my breakfast, but that's not enough for me hehe, so I eat some bread.

My family split up onto two team, the first team is the one who want to go to Hot Water Bath, and the second one is the one who want to go to crater. I decided to go to Crater, because few days ago, I've been to Hot Water Bath in Subang. After that I prepared my self to go to Crater, because after going to the Crater we're going straight to home.

All of my thing is ready to stored in the car, and after my whole family ready, finally we're going to the crater. And on the same time, another team is going to Hot Water Bath. The Crater is not far from the Inn, we got there like, 15 minutes. We going to the Crater by car, and parked the car near the Crater. The name of the Crater is Darajat Crater, it's not too big, but there is a lot of Crater. The smell of the Crater is so freaking bad. There aren't many people there, i guess it's because they prefer to go to Hot Water Bath, due to the cold air.  And of course, we're taking some photos there. You can check the photos that my uncle took, on instagram @hakimomoto hehe.

In the afternoon we're going home, but on the way home, we're had dinner first at a restaurant there. So that's my holiday, hope i can have another holiday with my family soon, bye!
