ASSIGNMENT!

I have an assignment to translate a novel wholly, it is only about 234 pages though, but uh.... it's kinda hard for me, the novel uses many law phrase that i don't even come to understand what are the meanings of those sentences.... Somebody should come to my rescue!!!!! i mean i need help to get by with it... lol. The progress is rather slow, but i do my best, there is a problem here in myself that i'm such a lazy person that i can always delay things if i want to.... for instance: this assignment.... i can spend a day without typing its translation, but instead i watch Pokemon or Detective Conan, hahahah (i love anime!). But my feeling is rather different, i want to get this over with, so i can lay my head down freely....... But to see there are hundreds of pages i must translate makes me numb (comically) and spacing out often..... i even haven't done my HRM assignment yet too!!!!! Oh i hate assignment, i wish college could be more fun than sit around the class and get to it... #ugh hahahahaha but i'll do my beast y'all!! xxo

BRITNEY SPEARS JOINS THE X FACTOR'S JUDGESPANEL

The second season of The X Factor U.S. is about to begin, Simon Cowell started to search new judges for replacing former judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, well he has found them. One of the judges is Britney Spears. There are many pros and contras to Simon's decision. As for me, Britney Spears as the new judge is a pleasure, as a fan, i'd love to see her on television every week. One of the reasons behind Simon chose him, probably because Simon thinks Britney has her own "X Factor". According to Simon Cowell "She’s one of the most talked-about people in the world today." [1]. I couldn't agree more, the thing is i can't wait for the show to air on television. Britney Spears who will be paid $15 million is already on the road for the audition throughout the country along with Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, and Demi Lovato. In conclusion, one of the new judges of the second season of The X Factor is Britney Spears, the choice's reason probably because Simon Cowell is fascinated by her.

I AM ME

You don't know me so well.. No, don't think about that SM*SH song.. Whatever!
But, the point i wrote this trashy note was just for my own relaxation..
Let me ask you several questions..
1. Do you know me?
2. Do you REALLY know me?
3. Are you sure?
4. Who cares?

I am as ordinary as human being, like you, you, you and you..
What do you think about me?
Am i irritating, stupid, careless, crazy? YES!
People who think they're my friends know that. Unless if i don't have any..
Being selfish and selfless sometimes.
Being kind and nice most of time.
Being shy to strangers and OVERCONFIDENT to my friends and fams.
There's always a thought about "Why am i me? Why am i not somebody else?"
I'm kinda sick to the quote "be yourself" thing.. How if i am not a good person that i should keep me as who i am? I think it's good SOMETIMES to act as someone else in a better way.. At last if you said "be a better person" so YOU mean that i have to change myself to be better that maybe I AM NOT MYSELF anymore.. So where's the "be yourself" thing? Like if i'm a sad person and people know that as myself, suddenly i change to be a happy person, so is it still "be yourself"? No.. Because i change.. As i told you.. Change in a BETTER WAY.. What people think about me is MAYBE right, but i won't admit, and what i think about me is ABSOLUTELY right but i won't say.
I must be embarassing.. Yeah people think so.. With the way i act and behave surely a problem to them.. However i never regret about MY OWN SELF! God has given me this.. I can just change myself but how if i don't want to? A BETTER WAY for people isn't always good for me.. How if i love being as who i am even i am bad? Most of you are good at being bad! How if i said i am comfortable with who i am now? I don't harm people with the way i am.. But yes that's my PROSPECTIVE.. But a change is good.. I make fun to people as they do the same.. I don't mind it for a friend.. But if you make fun of me and you DON'T KNOW ME i can just turn the other cheek or not at all.. As i see through my life living as the way i am. I have friends, but i don't have best friend.. I don't ask for that but um.. I am into everyone i like, but not everyone i like is into me.. I think so.. nobody but me.. (sigh)

That's my trashy note.. Sorry for wasting your time.. My advice for you is to never ever regret of being who you really are, everyone has a good side and a bad side.. Live your life! XOXO

COHERENCE


COHERENCE
Coherence is another element of a good paragraph. Besides unity, coherence is also important for a writing. Coherence means that the sentence must hold together each other, the movement between one to another must be smooth and logical. There must be no sudden jump from a sentence to sentence. So the reader will understand the whole writing. There are four ways to make a coherence paragraph/writing, the first is repeating keys nouns, the second is using pronouns, the third is using transition signals, and the last is arranging the sentence into logical order.
The first way is repeating key nouns, this is one of the easiest way to reach coherence. By repeating the key nouns, the reader will understand what the text is about. Usually the key nouns are the main subject of the text or sometimes the title of the text.
The second way is using pronoun, this is also easy to do to reach coherence. When the writer uses pronoun (him, it, her, me, etc.) to change the subject or object, make sure the pronoun is right in same person or thing and same number. If the writer use “him” at the first sentence, do not use “me” in the next sentence if it’s  for the same person. And also if the writer writes a singular pronoun in a sentence, do not use a plural pronoun in the next sentence  if it’s for the same person too, unless if the writer wants to talk about another person.
e.g. “I want to meet Joni tonight, He will come to my house” -> Right
e.g. “I want to meet my friends, He will come tonight” -> Wrong
e.g. “I want to meet my friends, One of my friends is Joni, He will come tonight” -> Right
The third way is using transition signals, it is very useful for reader when to stop, move forward, turn etc. it also helps the reader to understand the time you give something in the text (an example, a comparison, a result, etc.). Using transition signal can as a guide to a reader which makes the text easier to read. There are two types of transition signals, they are sentence connector and clause connector. Sentence connector is divided into two parts which are transition phrases (in addition, on the other hand, for example, in conclusion, etc.) and conjunctive adverb (furthermore, thus, therefore, however, etc. Clause connector is also divided into two parts, they are coordinating conjunctions (and, but, yet, so, etc.) and subordinating  conjunctions (although, if, unless, whereas, etc.). There are also others transition signals that aren’t included into any type (in spite of, such as, despite of, etc.). All of the transition signals are very important to reach coherence.
The last way is arranging in logical order, by using it for a paragraph or a text, we can reach coherence. You may arrange the text and decide the type of logical order, but it depends of the topic and purpose. A paragraph can be contain more than one type logical order. For deciding the type of logical order, we can see from the transition signals. There are several common types of logical order such as chronological order, logical division of ideas,  and comparison/contrast.
In conclusion, besides reaching unity, reaching coherence on a text/paragraph is very important. The writer should know and use these four ways on his/her writing for a good result of writing.

MEAN GIRLS

So, my class (literally) will perform something artistic called drama. We have this "Mean Girls" movie as our choice. It's a good film actually, though there are many rude words in it. I had to edit it. It will be a long and complex ones, especially the movie needs the complex characters as well. We can't just memorize the script, but we have to feel it. We have to enchant ourselves into the character we will act. It's very demanding, however if we don't do so, the result will be bad.

I am the one who edited the script, because 'Mean Girls" script is long and mean. I had to spend about almost six hours for that one due to some troubles, but i've done it and i can't wait to start acting in any minute from the time i post this. My hope is that my friends can be able to do it. Well, good luck! Oh, i don't feel like i wan to write the plot of this "Mean Girls" movie, i mean you can do it yourself to search, right?

Well then, see you later!
