LOVE is YOU


Every night,
under the starlight, I drop my tears
Starlight always around my tears
I feel lonely when I miss you
everything that I do, reminds me of you
Your face always appear in my dreams
The warmth of your smile always cover up my heart
I’ve never felt this before
is this LOVE?
But you always wanna go away when I come up
You always make me feel, loving you is wrong
please, look me like a star
can’t I be as starlight in your heart?
And now I will be waiting for you
I will not let you go
I promise to the sky for loving you forever
'Coz I believe, LOVE is YOU

            Ladies and Gentlemen,
            Nowadays, facebook has become a social phenomenon. Everybody knows it. But have you really know what facebook is? Is it true it’s very important for us to join facebook?
            The honorable audience,
Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. it’s discovered firstly by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, with the basic name thefacebook. In September 2006, anyone over the age of 13 with a valid e-mail address can become a Facebook user. Facebook's target audience is more for youths than adults. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by workplace, school, or college.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
During its operation, facebook has created many controversier. Some people believe that facebook has many advantages, like searching a new friend, finding the old friend, style and soon. However, have you ever thought the facebook also has many bad effects?
The honorable audience,
I’d like to show you 5 bad effect of facebook.
1.      Lack of socializing.
Facebook makes someone become selfish. It’s happened because the users are too preoccupied with the virtual world and when they come to the real world, they have some difficulties in socializing.
2.      Spend money
Facebook spends money a lot. When someone join of them will be surprised when they should pay the cost of internet. In addition, the cost of internet in Indonesia is still expensive that in the other countries.
3.      Destroyed the eyes
Facebook can annoy eyes health. Seeing the monitor too long can make our eyes weak.
4.      Reduce learning time
It is very clear because all too often time-consuming to play facebook can learn and have lots of facts about the students who played during the lesson time in school facebook.
5.      There is no privacy
Our personal data can be accessed by other. It’s mean that we don’t have privacy again.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Although facebook has many good effects for people, it also has many bad effects. Now it’s depending on us if you still want to join it. Make sure you can avoid the bad effect of it.
Well, I think that’s all about my speech in this opportunity. Thanks for your attention.
Good Morning,
Wassalamualaikum Wr. Wb.

STORY; the Wind and the Sun


One day the Wind and the Sun were disputing which was stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming down the road.

The Sun           : I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveler to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the strongest.

The Wind        : Would you mind not talking so loudly?

The Sun           : Sorry. Okay, you begin. I will retire behind a cloud.

The Wind        : I will blow as hard as I can and I’ll be the winner.

The Sun           : Okay. Good luck.

The Wind       : Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I’m so tired. What is happening to me? I shouldn’t give up. I have to blow harder. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But the harder he blew the closer the traveler wrapped his cloak around him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

SPOOF; Green, Pink, and Yellow


Can you name the colors in English? Yes, you’re right. Blue, red, yellow, and so on. By the way, I have a funny story about the colors. Do you want to hear it? Okay, listen to me carefully.
          One day, an English teacher was explaining about colors to his student.
          After he had finished explaining, he asked his student. “Who can make a sentence using the words green, pink, and yellow?”
          James the smartest student in the class, quickly raised his hand and answered, “When the yellow morning sun comes, I see a beautiful girl wearing a pink blouse walking through the green grass”.
          “Excellent! James, you are a very good student.” Praised the teacher.
        “Me, me, Sir” John, the naughtiest student in the class said while raising his hand. And then he said, “I heard the telephone ringing, green…green…., then I pink up the receiver and I said, “Yellow, who’s speaking there?”
