Social Media?

We will talking about social media, this is what will we discuss:
Does social media help or hinder people connections?
Are social media make us away from offline friends and connections?
Is it cool to have 500 friends on Facebook? Or is it better to have more meaningful, face to face connections?

I think social media can help people connections. If we can't meet someone face to face, we can use social media for communication. I have a friend in Swiss, she is younger than me and her parents forbidden her to use Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, ect. So we use an online game named Stardoll, its like a social media because we can leave public message, personal message and directly chat. Stardoll is actually for kids, but there is many teens, they don't play the game, they just use it for chatting if they don't have Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Social media is very usefull. But for some people its not good, they will be spacing out and think they don't need friends in real life, they think chatting friends who they never meet is more fun.
But for some people like me, its good. Usually I'm silent dan don't like to speak much, I speak only what usefull or what I need. In social media, I usually write much, if I bored, I write some useless words. But I use social media for communicate with people too. I have many social media, I have Twitter, My space, Instagram, Streamzoo, etc. But I usually use my Twitter account.

I think its not really cool to have 500 friends on Facebook, because we don't know these people in real life. 500 friends on Facebook is usually only for fun. Like me, I'm following over 1000 people in Twitter and have 400 followers, but I dont really know all of them. It's just for fun, maybe its like a competition. In Twitter, I have real friends and I usually chat with them. Sometime its good to have many friends on social media, because if we feel lonely and there is nobody near us, we just can chat with someone on social media.
But its better if we meet someone face to face, its more meaningful, we know with who we speak.

Orange Marmalade

'Orange Marmalade'

is a comic from Korea, made by Seok Woo

Orange Marmalade

is a comic that tells the story of a teenage vampire girl who accidentally sucks neck of a popular guy in her school. Unfortunately this vampire girl named Baek Ma Ri can not suck the blood of the boy because her fangs was blunt. That guy was thinking wrong. Embarrassed, Baek Ma Ri blurred. The next day, Baek Ma Ri met again with that guy. And so begins the story of the love between them. In the comics, there is also an antagonist who makes the conflict in the story more exciting.

This is the story of the life of a teenage vampire who is very attractive. This comic tells the story of love between a vampire with humans. This comic also tells the story of a very strong friendship. By reading this comic, we can learn that what we believe is something bad could be a good thing. Because not all we hear is true. "We can not judge people by what others say, but we have to give people a chance to show themselves". That what I think after reading this amazing comic. 

I like this comic because the story is very exciting and nice. Initially I was curious because this comic is often seen in the 'Manga Here' (A website to read the comics), and then I read it. I do not really like the images in this comic (They are beautifull but I don't really like the character image), I prefer Japanese manga pictures. But the story is very interesting, so I read to the end, there are 71 chapters of this story. But I think, there is still a continuation of chapter 71, but has not been updated. The more I read, the more want to know the rest, so I can not stop to read it. At this comic I've read up to chapter 71, I want more. I can not wait for chapter 72, even in chapter 71 are like finished and a happy end, but I got the information that there is continuity, is it possible there will be more conflict?! The story is really touching and exciting.

For people who love to read comic about a love story, you'll like this comic. Moreover, this is a full color comic.

For those who want to read you can read it at:

Manga Here

or

Webtoon Live

Just click on it!

Here some picture from the comic:

In this scene, They just want walk home together and see this beatiful scenery.

In this scene, the antagonist was challenged by a friend Baek Ma Ri who also a vampire. I think this scene is in chapter 70 or 71. When Baek Ma Ri threatened by antogonis in this comic suddenly his friend come for helping. 

My 5 Year Plan

Hi everyone!
I want to tell you about my plan for the next 5 years.
Probably, in 5 years I will study in Swiss, Germany, Australia or England to be a vet.
But after studying, I wish to work in Bali as a vet.
Since I was a kid, My dream is to be a good vet and help all the animals in Bali, street dogs and cats. I will make a animal shelter and animal clinic. That is my dream, but I must to studying for a long time. But maybe, I just study in Bali, because if I going to study oversea, I'll not going back to Indonesia, maybe I will be a vet there and get more money so I'll don't want back. That's why, I must to remember my dream, be a good vet in BALI and help street animals. I like it here.
Because my hobby is drawing, I'll design clothes, making manga comic and painting as a part time job, Its only a hobby. I'll sell what I create for more money.

Bali in 20 Years

Bali is a beautiful island. But now Bali has many problems such as traffic jam, fraud, and especially garbage everywhere.

About 30 years ago, Bali was very clean, no plastic at all. Even the paper hard to find. People wrap food in leaves. I know this is all from my mother, November 1982 my mother for the first time arrived in Bali. At that time, Bali was still primitive. Beaches clean and beautiful, then, there are no tourists in Bali. Can you imagine, a beautiful beach with white sand, blue sea and clean, coconut trees everywhere, and no one on the beach. Beautiful is not it?

Well, now we may not be able to find a paradise like that. Now everywhere we can have is rubbish. Especially on the beach. Every time I go to the beach, there's rubbish. It makes me sick. I have a friend, she is Balinese, she is one of my best friend. She always littering, even in her own home. She ate something and then dumped the trash everywhere. I always bring it up, but She still did not understand. When near her home flooded, She complained. Though the flood was because She throw garbage in the gutter. I have always teach her to throw rubbis at the right place. 

I think in 20 years, the island of Bali will be the island of rubbish. Now we can find rubbish everywhere, especially in the future, we may not be able to see the beach because the sand is covered by a pile of rubbish. Maybe we can not see the beauty of the sea again, but the sea of garbage.

So from now on we have to protect the environment and not littering. 

Because of You!

Hi everyone! 
I want to tell you what made me like this. There are many people who motivate me. But before telling about these people, let's talk about me first! 

My name is Marisa,  I am a quiet person, rather than talking crap better quietly and think. I am speaking only when necessary. When I was grade 7, I want to change myself, and be more active in class. I have always been active in the classroom to talk or ask the teacher. But strangely I always ask about things I already know, because in fact no one should I ask. I began to feel, it's no good always ask, because there are many other students who do not understand because they do not listen to the teacher's explanations. When I was silent and listen to the teacher, then I would understand and not have to ask, but if I did not understand then I will ask.  I realized, when I was silent so much more that I will hear. When I was in grade 6, in class I always talk with friends and not listening to the teacher. I realize that I passed on many lessons. So I tried to quietly and when I was grade 7, I was listening to the teacher but also asked the teacher. But there's no need for me asking what I understand, so I quietly and listen to the teacher, so I also better understand the teacher's explanations.  

My friends have motivated me to be like this, I actually do not like to learn and never serious about doing something. But my friends are always learning, and they began to be smarter than me. I feel beaten, so I also listen to the teacher's explanations. I began to realize when listening to the teacher in class then I do not need to learn at home, listening to the teacher's easier to remember than studying alone. During a test, I always got good grades, though I did not learn much at home but I still remember the teacher's explanations. That's all thanks to my friends, though they did not say anything but they begin to learn diligently then I also feel rivaled.

When my grade 9, my parents wanted me to send me to AIS, because my dream to become a veterinarian, I also have to attend better quality schools.

I feel hesitant to school at AIS because I still want a school with my friends, but I remember with my dream. So I became very confused. I told to Rio, that I still want a school with him and my friends, but he told me that I should be proud to go to school at AIS, he said I was too smart for school in a regular school and he knew that my dream are very high
.
His words made me stand in this place now. 
I am really thankful to my friends, I am also grateful to Arika who always encouraged me. I'm thankful for having friends like them. 
I also thank my parents, who always at my side during this time. 





 I'm happy to have you, guys! 

Some photos with my friends :)

 Tria, Cahya, Arika, and Eva are my best friends who always support me!
