The Political System

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. This means that it has a king/queen as its Head of State. The monarch has very little power and can only reign with the support of Parliament. In reality, the House of Commons is the only one of the three which has a true power. Although a bill must be supported by all three bodies, the House of Lords only has limited powers, and the monarch has not refused to sign one since the modern political system began over 200 years ago.

Book Review: The Great Gatsby (Chapter 1-3)

Picture taken from en.wikipedia.org through www.google.com

I have read a great novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald titled The Great Gatsby.  When the first time I read it, immediately I was impressed by a saying on the second paragraph, that is, “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” This sentence that I love the most in Chapter 1 is explained by Nick in an opening paragraph. It was written there that it is advice given by Nick’s father in his younger and more vulnerable years. This quote, for me, is exactly related to my life. I realized that I often mad with someone and, whether directly or not, I always criticize them. But after I read this quote, whenever I am mad with someone, I remember this great quote and, believe it or not, it successes to calm me down.

Anggapan Orang Tua Tahu yang Terbaik untuk Anaknya rupanya memang benar. Aku saja yang terlambat memercayainya. Kini, semua telah terjadi. Keluarga besarku sudah tidak mau menerimaku lagi, termasuk kedua orang tuaku sendiri. Mungkin mereka sudah terlanjur sakit hati akibat perbuatan burukku tiga tahun yang lalu.

Right, "Just Write"!

It was Hasan, the General Manager of LPM Manunggal who phoned me in the afternoon and asked me to join “Just Write”, a national writing training which held by Diva Press, a major publisher from Yogyakarta. At first, I just like “What? Me?”, but he begged me to apply my essay for the selection of this event. He said that he believed this will be a good start for me to improve my writing skill, but I still doubt with my poor writing skill. Since we still couldn’t deal well, he asked me to come to LPM Manunggal’s editorial office to meet him.

 “Siva,” panggil seseorang sembari menepuk pundak kananku.

Hari ini usiaku genap 17 tahun. Namun, aku belum mempunyai “gereget” sebagai remaja berusia 17 tahun. Entahlah, aku sendiri tak tahu apa penyebabnya, yang jelas aku tetaplah aku. Aku adalah seorang siswi SMA yang belum mengerti banyak tentang kehidupan, bahkan aku rasa aku belum bisa mandiri layaknya remaja seusiaku.
