Reflection of Technology Usage

Everyday we always use technology. Even for small things we need technology. Me, myself, use technology in everything I do. Like I always use my smartphone, and also laptop for many activities. For me, the way I use the technology daily at home is not really satisfying and we can say not really good. It is because I use it so much, or should I say too much. In every time, I always use gadgets. Most of the time is just for entertainment and I think that is not the way to use technology in the best way. Also, I only use the same devices over and over again.
    We can improve the way we use tech devices to a better way. To help us in becoming a better students, we can improve the usage of tech devices we usually use by using them to do school works, or use them to browse some information that can be usefull to gain our knowledge. Like for example, beside using our laptop to play games or do social networking like facebook and twitter, we can use the laptop to browse in the internet about things that we don’t know, like about the culture of another country and so on. Beside making us into a better student, we can also improve the use of tech devices to making us into a better citizen. For eample we can use our computer to open the newspaper, or searching about the latest news about the city, so we will know what is happening in our city and if we can give some help, we can help. Social networking and chatting in the virtual world also can make us closer with long distance friends and families.
    When we use tech devices that we have, of course we have to use it based on our priority, and of course we have to do higher priority activity first than low priority activity. Why? Because just like the word “high” so the activity is more important than the low one. We have to do the most important thing first, like doing school work. As students, our first or highest priority is of course school. And school works, such as home works and projects are parts of our school activity and it must be our highest priority. Low priority activity are the activities that we don’t really need to do. The examples of low priority activity is play games, listening to music, chatting, twitter-ing, and other things that we do just for entertainment, or just for fun. It’s not that we are prohibited to do this kind of activity, we can do these things, but we also have to manage our time wisely. If there are home works we have to finish the home works first then after that we can do the other “un-important” things.
    I think the way I use tech devices are prefered to be called as “tech waster” because honestly I use that thec devices not for important activities. I use technology to do school works just when there is one, and I’ll do it quick. But, from now on, we have to use these tech devices better and change the way we use it from “tech waster” to “tech efficient”, so the usage of technology that already invented in this world won’t be wasted.

Book #6

Hi! SO long since I post my last post about books, now the sixth one!


Lately I have finished reading a novel by Orizuka, the title is Infinitely Yours, and I LOVE it <3
The story is about a girl name Jingga who love Korea so much. She knows all about Korea, the language, Kpop, places, foods, and others. One day she join a tour to Korea for the second time, the first time is last year. The reason she join the same tour twice is because she loves Korea so much and she also want to meet the tour guide from Korea that for her, is very cool. The story is just like a standard love story, but what I like about this novel is the writer take the setting in many famous places in Korea and she can explain the detail so well. Back to the story...
Jingga meet Rayan in the airport when Rayan accidentally broke Jingga's PSP. But actually they are going to the same place, same airplane, and same tour. Rayan feels so annoyed with Jingga that is so loud, because Rayan is a business man that is so serious about his work. But then in Korea they spend the time there together, even tough Rayan hate Jingga so much, but Jingga help him to find her ex-girl friend. They spend all the time in Korea arguing. There's also this tour guide, Yun Jae, who Jingga likes for the first time. But after spending her time with Rayan they both fall in love with each other.

This is a classic love story, but I always love this kind of love story. If you have the same interest like me, go buy this book! Hope you like it<3

Officially Yours - Craig David

[Intro]
Oh yeah yes
La da day, la da day
La da da da da oh

[Verse 1]
Thinkin' how the story goes
You're helpless and I'm wishin'
Put the film inside my mind
But there's a big scene that I'm missin'
As I re-read my lines
I think I said this, I should've said that
Did you edit me out of your mind
'Cos in a flash you had disappeared, gone (gone)
Before the curtain falls
And we act this out again
Maybe I should risk it all and state

[Chorus]
That I'm officially going on the record
To say I'm in love with you
I'm officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before
I'm officially yours
La da day, la da day
La da da da da oh

[Verse 2]
Travellin' down this road again
Gotta make a few decisions
Don't want you to feel this hurt again
That's why I'm hopin' that you'll listen
If you let me press rewind
I'll rehearse every word I should have said
'Cos girl I'm ready to make things right
Here on this stage so we can move on (on)
And before the curtain falls
And we act this out again
Missin' pieces I'll resolve so stay

[Chorus]
I'm officially going on the record
To say I'm in love with you
I'm officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before

[Bridge]
Things I should have said
Like I appreciate the time that I spend with you
Inspire me with the smile I put on your pretty face
My world comes alive, now I know (now I know it babe)
This time I'm not letting go
'Cos I'm officially yours (oh oh)

[Chorus]
Officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before

I'm officially going on the record
To say I'm in love with you
I'm officially everything you hope that I would be
This time I'll tell the truth
I'm officially wrong I know
For letting you go the way I did
Unconditionally more than I ever was before

[Outro]
Girl I'm unconditionally yours (oh yeah)
Officially yours, your man (La da day, la da day, la da day)
Girl I'm unconditionally yours (La da da da da oh)
Officially yours, I am

Girl I'm unconditionally yours (listen what I'm tryna say)
Officially yours, your man (oh oh)
Girl I'm unconditionally yours
Officially yours, I am

Book #2

Hey! This is my second book review, a novel by my favorite author, Winna Efendi.
Title: Remember When


Remember When
I think, this novel is a great novel for teenagers. The author really can tell every story in detail that can make us, the reader, feel like we're in this kind of situation. Every emotion mixed together when I read this book, start from happy, sad, hate, disappointed, until worried. When I read every story in this book, its like touching me.

The story is about 4 bestfriends that met by destiny. Then, many problems came. Problem with love and friendship. When they started to love each other, its become an issue between 4 of them. At the end, there's always have to be someone that sacrifice their love. At the end, there's always someone that hurt. But their friendship will remain.

When you make decisions, you deal with consequences. Don't expect anything in return.


Thats all for the second book review. See you next time!!


Love, Val

This is my first book review, hope you like it!

So now I'll tell you about this book that I really like. Yours Truly, Lucy B. Parker's series.
3 books have been released, and I've read 2 of them. A really great novel, for teenagers only, GIRLS!

The first book: Girl vs. Superstar
I like this first book, that's why I bought the next book too! The first book tells Lucy's life story. She got friend-dumped, her parents divorced, and her mom is dating another guy. This guy is Laurel Moses's dad. Yes, THE Laurel Moses—the TV-movie-music superstar whose face is on the cover of every magazine. That make her life upside down. This book tell every moment and situation she pass and how she feel to be Laurel's stepsister. Great story about a girl with many teenager's problem.

She also got a new BFF in her new school in New York, Beatrice. The main story of this book is that Lucy is now have to have 3 crushes, according to Beatrice. A local one, a long-distance one, and a celebrity one. Lucy is searching for that three crushes. Finally she found all of it and have a great experience with a boy she has crush on.
