Here I am now, in the beginning of semester 6. That means that one and half years ahead I'll be graduated and walk for the next step of my life: work. Time is quite fast, eh? Now there are a lot of changes in my campus, some important rooms are moved. Then, I must make a lot of changes in my life, too. There are several things I want to achieve this semester:

• Learn Japanese. Because my study time is shorter and shorter, it's important for me to learn Japanese more seriously. I've already made a target: everyday I must take time to learn Japanese, at least thirty minutes a day! I do want to improve my Japanese skill especially in Kanji and new vocabulary. You know, Japanese language has almost two thousand kinds of Kanji. If I can memorize four Kanjis a day, then in the middle of 2013 I can read and write Kanji fluently, just like Japanese people! Nihon e iku no tame ni, douryoku shite iru!
  
  
• It's also the time for me to prepare for my graduation. Then, I must begin thinking about my TOEIC preparation, apprenticeship, and final project theme.
  
  
• I want to be more and more independent. I want to learn some life skills, because it will be no long time I will live independently. I will learn to be a good decision maker. I will also learn to be responsible for every decision that I made.
  

That's all. And one more thing: I will learn to enjoy today and make my days here become unforgettable moment!

Solar system generator has extraordinary ability. Bunaken Island in North Sulawesi Province, is the first island in Indonesia which get advantages by full usage of solar system electrical generator. Beforehand, electrical generator that is used in Bunaken is diesel. By just using diesel electrical generator, Bunaken residents just could watch television in the night. Now with 100 percent solar system electrical generator, they can enjoy watching television for whole day.



Besides of its powerfulness, solar system has other several advantages. First, because it's use sun heat, solar system doesn't create air pollution at all. Second, from economic side, solar system is cheaper than diesel system.

Further, the solar system will be applied in other islands in Indonesia, such as in Wakatobi Island (Southeast Sulawesi Province), Giliterawangan Island (West Nusa Tenggara Province), Derawan Island (East Borneo Province), and Raja Ampat Island (Papua Province).

Wow, the development of solar system technology is faster that I thought! If more and more areas use this technology, air pollution can be greatly reduced!

If conventional cars right now have gas station to refill their exhausted fuel, electric cars will also have electric station to recharge its energy. How it works? Just imagine our laptop. Our laptop has battery to retain electric power that can make our laptop be able to operate. When power of battery is almost exhausted, we'll connect our laptop to the wall plug to recharge.

The concept of electric car recharging is same with laptop. Electric car will have battery that can retain electric power for several weeks. When the battery power is almost exhausted, the driver can recharge the power in the nearest electric station.



Now this concept has already implemented! See this!

One day
Someone give me a garden
The garden is named “Life Garden”
He says to me,
“I give this garden to you
And also, I give you these seeds
This one is love seed, this one is hope seed, and this one is faith seed
Grow them become trees!
Remember, someday I'll be back and see your garden!”

I receive his gift happily
Then I plant those seeds in the best part of my garden
In first days, I notice their growth very much
Watering them, giving them fertilizer
“That man says, once I am successful to grow them,
They would become very beautiful and strong trees.
He says, the trees would yield so many colorful and delicious fruits
Even they will be too much for you to eat all alone!
So you will like to share the fruits with others
Birds will make nest in the top of your trees
He also says, once I am successful to grow them,
The roots will have the ability
To retain fresh water
You can enjoy it later, believe it!”
Wow! That sounds wonderful!

Some months passed
Until someday I found
So many strange weeds, I never plant before
Anxiety, anger, fear, grudge, lust, spite
I immediately clear them away
Some weeks later
Those weeds appear again
Around my small love, hope, and faith plant
That begin to grow up
Again, I clear those weeds

But, do you know
Every some weeks, those weeds continually appear and appear!
Then I see my love, hope, and faith trees
Even though I notice them so much
Their growth is still very slow
What! I feel like giving up

Then I don't notice my garden anymore
Until someday, someone pass in front of my garden
“Hmmm...this garden is so crowded with weeds
Who is the owner of this garden?
Why are they so lazy?”

Ah! His word makes me realized
When I don't notice my life garden anymore
My life garden would be seen so bad
For everyone passed in front of my garden
Then I rise up, and again clear the weeds away
And I see my love, faith, and hope plant
Oh, some of their leaves seem to be withered!
I remember the man who gives me this life garden
I remember all his words

How fool! Don't be lazy!
I hope many things but do less
What for?
If I am lazy, my garden will be also useless!
Clearing weeds away every some weeks,
Isn't it also part of my duty?
Waiting and noticing the growth of my love, faith, and hope plant
Isn't it also part of my duty?

Just remember, when they grow become trees
They will bless me, bless everyone who pass my garden!
Surely, everyone who see my garden would say,
“Wow! What an amazing garden!
The owner of this garden, must be strong and patient person,
Just like those tall, strong, and fruity trees!”
