CINDERELLA

Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn't like her one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. Nothing was too good for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No rest and no comfort. She had to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody called her Cinderella. Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said, . Miaow. , which really meant, . Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and that is beauty.. It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be. One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters were getting ready to go. Cinderella didn't even dare ask if she could go too. She knew very well what the answer would be: . You? You're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy.. Cinderella sighed, . Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!. and the cat murmured . Miaow. Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderella was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared. . Don't be alarmed, Cinderella,. said the fairy. . I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!. . How can I, dressed in rags?. Cinderella replied. . The servants will turn me away! The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic wand Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. . Now for your coach,. said the fairy; "A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!. . Oh of course,. said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat. . You, bring me seven mice, and, remember they must be alive!. Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. With a flick of the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes. Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball until she heard the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from the Prince. s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into the night. The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up the slipper and said to his ministers, “Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never be content until I find her!” So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land until only Cinderella was left. That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the ball,. snapped the stepmother. . Tell the Prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters! Can't you see how ugly Cinderella is?. But, to everyone she is amazement, the shoe fitted perfectly. Suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, "Come with us Cinderella! The Prince is waiting for you." So Cinderella married the Prince and lived happily ever. As for the cat, he just said "Miaow!"

AMAZING STRUCTURE

Gunung Padang is a megalithicsite located in Karyamukti village, Cianjur regency, West Java Province of Indonesia, 50 km southwest of the city of Cianjur or 6 kilometers from Lampegan station. It is the largest megalithic site in all of Southeastern Asia. The survey believes that Gunung Padang is built in 4 different eras.

The existence of the site was mentioned in Rapporten van de Oudheidkundige Dienst (ROD, "Report of the Department of Antiquities") in 1914. The Dutch historian N. J. Krom also mentioned it in 1949. Employees of the National Archeology Research Centre visited the site in 1979 for a study of its archaeology, history, and geology.

Located at 885 metres above sea level, the site covers a hill in a series of terraces bordered by retaining walls of stone that are accessed by about 400 successive andesite steps rising about 95 metres. It is covered with massive rectangular stones of volcanic origin. The Sundanese people consider the site sacred and believe it was the result of King Siliwangi's attempt to build a palace in one night. The asymmetric Punden Berundak faces northwest, to Mount Gede and was constructed for the purpose of worship. It is located in a position that has been noted for its geomantic and astrological factors. Based on various dating techniques, the site was completed by 5000 BC and quite likely much earlier. There are preliminary indications that the hill site may itself be an ancient pyramid construction.The villages closest to the site are Cimanggu, Ciwangun and Cipanggulakan. Two possible routes to access the site are From Sukabumi to Cianjur: From Warungkondang to Cipadang, Cibokor, Lampegan Pal Dua, Ciwangin, Cimanggu and from Cianjur to Sukabumi: From Sukaraja to Cireungas, Cibanteng, Rawabesar, Sukamukti and Cipanggulaan. And these are the photos of Gunung Padang.

MATSWAPATI

Indonesia is a country that is very rich. Cultures, territories, and natural resources are some of the wealth of Indonesia has. But lately, all the wealth that Indonesia has have been stolen. You must be having a lot of questions right? Why our cultures have been stolen? It happened because the Indonesian people themselves are less concerned with what Indonesia has. With all the problems that Indonesia has about other country that stolen our culture, my school thought about what should we do to help the government.

            Then, my seniors suddenly had an idea to make some festival that will introduce or maybe make us remember again how beautiful culture that we had. After 1 year prepared and choose the date. Finally, the result is we will held the festival on 27^th of September 2014 and the name of the festival was MATSWAPATI. And on the festival, I will be the running committee. I was responsible for publishing the festival around our neighborhood and selling tickets.

            On 27^th of September 2014, MATSWAPATI was held at Lapangan Bali near my school. In the morning my seniors told to come early at 5am. But, im not such a very good juniors so I was late, I came at 6am thank god my seniors didn’t get mad. After we pray together for the festival to run smoothly, the first event is begin. The first event is parade. The parade was participated by some junior high school, elementary, and kindergarten. After the parade was opening ceremony, in the opening ceremony, we invited the major of bandung, Ridwan Kamil to come to the festival. When the opening ceremony was held, I couldn’t see it because I have to stay outside all day long for selling ticket and guard the ticket booth.

            Because of standing all day guarding the ticket booth finally I can saw the guest star of the festival, Glenn Fredly. He sang his hits song terserah and many more. Finally the festival ended with the debus performance. 

My Unforgettable Moment

         I have a lot of unforgettable moments in my life, I think all the moments that I’ve been through is always has their own special and has their own lessons. But, this one I will tell you guys about the most unforgettable moment in my life. Its about my accident in my ice skating life.
          So, it was two years ago. I was practicing by my self to prepare about competition that will start in two more weeks. But suddenly, I fell, I fell over and over again until I realized that my thigh are swollen and its really hurt me so bad. Bu then, I didn’t quit, I keep on hurting my self because I was worried about my competition, I’m worried that I will loose if I didn’t practice.
 After finish practice, I went to hospital, I was scared because its all about my body and my competition. I was thinking how if I cannot joined the competition? How if I broke my bone? How if.. how if.. and it goes on. Finally, they call my name after 30 minutes of waiting. I met the doctor and the nurse, they checked my thigh, they checked my muscle, my bone and everything that connected to the swollen. After they checked, I knew what the problem is. My bone was okay, but a little bit crack and my muscle were really swollen. They said, I just need to rest for 1 week, but the competition starts in 1 more week, I was shocked, I didn’t know what to do back then. I was crying, and my mom gave me a hug to made me calm and it worked.
         The next day, because I was not a really good patient, I didn’t do what they said. They said I had to rest but I didn’t rest. I was practice again, but not hard like before.
          Finally, the competition is started. I went to Malaysia for the competition, in the first practice when I arrived is in the morning. Im still felt  really hurt on my thigh but it didn’t make me want to quit the competition.
          In the afternoon, my competition begin, of course I was really nervous and scared. After 10 minutes, I entered the ice, it was really cold and so many people that watched us during the competition. And its my time to showed up what I’ve got in the ice. In the first technic, I fell, I fell really hard on my thigh of course I cannot stop the competition because it happened in the middle of competition. So, I continued the competition. During the competition, I held the pain and I helped my self to not thought about the pain that I had. Finally I finished the competition, before I went out from the rink, I bowed to the judges but when I want to moved my leg, suddenly my thight really hurt so I cannot went out from the rink and my coach helped me to did it.
          The result came out, and I got the good news, I won! I got the first place even that my thigh felt really hurt. So, this is my unforgettable moment. :)
