Lady Antebellum - American Honey


She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get goin'
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Trying to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey
ohhh yeahh

Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin's sweeter than summer time
And American honey
And American honey

Taylor Swift - Back to December

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier then ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why

'Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I'd go back to December all the time

These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and,
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I'd go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I'd go back to December all the time

All the time

raining is nice to sleep.

this morning, I got up at about 6.05 a.m. and it's a heavy rain outside. It's cold and when I having bath, the water is cold too. On all my way to university, it's almost all road that full of water. Maybe this rain started at early morning.
oh, yesterday I watched Taken on tv. It's exciting for the story. The story began with her daughter going to Paris with her friend. At Paris, they have been kidnapped by organization that legal for selling women. Then her father go to Paris and saved her. Just watch it!
Wonder if I had father like in the film. With my sister, I watched it and have a plate of fried rice. I remembered it almost 12 a.m. when we got that fried rice. haha.

Today my presentation day with friends. Luckily, it running smoothly. And now I'm free from presentation, and next week, I will have a presentation again at sociology class.

And also today my hand was cut when I open the umbrella. :(
I think this first. Nothing to say again.

today.

At morning, I already forgot what time did I woke up. Too lazy to woke up. When I want to have bath, I saw the clock was just 6.10 a.m. so I thought that it's still early. But suddenly my sister asked me to quickly, because it's almost 7 a.m. I said okay, and then I having bath. My breakfast was fried rice. It's quiet nice.
At about 9.45 a.m. I become hungry, because in the morning I don't eat many and I must share it with my sister. Then I just hold it up, and I must wait until 12 p.m.
When my father pick me up at about 12.20 p.m., I arrived home about 12.45 p.m.
I am not immediately eat my lunch. I count money that my friend's  paid me (I'm a pulse seller), then I having my lunch. It's a curry! Love it!

And after finished my lunch, I started to check my assignment that yesterday I gave it to my friend to ask her for doing the conclusion. So confused about my assignment about sensation. Haven't done for the project yet that I and my friend must present it this Monday.

Hmm. Got no clues what to said again. Now it's 2.40 p.m. maybe I need to off now. Got to go teaching at 3 p.m. but I downloading something, and haven't finished yet!

me, MJ

Happy teacher's day! (25th November)

To all of my ex teacher at my ex school, SMA Methodist-3, Medan, Happy  Teacher's Day. Thank you for all your kindness to teach me until I finished my senior high school. And now I have became a teacher too.
*reminisce about this day last year*
So funny to remember it, when teacher's day last year (on the last level in senior high school), we planned to give our homeroom teacher, Mr.Rajin a cake. At Biology class, we confederated with our Biology teacher, Mrs.Ruth. We asked her to make some acting. Before that, our vice chairman of the class, Leewan, will told lie to Mr.Rajin that Michael has made Mrs.Ruth become angry. Our chairman of the class, Erwin, will take part of this as the cake holder and give it to Mr.Rajin.
The funny was, Mrs.Ruth feel fear of Mr.Rajin.
After dealed all, we all silent to wait Mr.Rajin to come. When Mr.Rajin come, we all shocked, because he holded a long wood with some nails on it. He knocked the table with the wood(I just know it when I read my friend's comment). He just said," Napa kalian?(What's wrong with you all?)". Mrs.Ruth and us just silent and suddenly Erwin came out holding the cake with singing "Hymne Guru"(song for thanking teachers). We all stood up and sing too. But Mr.Rajin just walked out and said nothing. I thought that he really angry at that time.
Because of this, Kevin and Fanny, my classmates, planned to put the cake on Mr.Rajin's table at office and they will apologize to him about this.

At the last lesson, we have Indonesian lesson. The teacher, Mr.Hebron, come, as usual, when a teacher come, we must give a respectful. He asked us to sing the "Hymne Guru" while we all standing. We sing and he suddenly shout out loud to stop singing. So we stopped, and he told us to repeated the song. So we repeated it. He always shouted to stopped, he do this almost three times. He said that this song is no use, because this song don't make teacher's life become good. Teacher's salary was too small and if people sang this song, it will not make the teacher's life become better.

So funny right?

This afternoon, I told this to my friend, Susanti, she laughed out loud. She said that she has never meet this situation. We chit chat, and suddenly we have nothing to talked again and we just keep in silent until her brother come and pick her home.

Once again, Happy Teacher's Day for all teacher! Keep up the good work!

me, MJ

Need resolution and help.

As the title written, I need some resolution about sleepy. Why am I like to yawn and feel sleepy, even I just woke up, in the afternoon too. Need resolution about this.

And also need help. Does anyone knows the best culinary school and the cheap one? Need the cheap one because of my family finance's problem.

Please leave a comment. Thank you!

Spindly species found in ocean's crushing depths




L. P. Madin WHOI – The squidworm, a gossamer, ghostly creature discovered in the deepest reaches of the ocean between Indonesia … 

PARIS (AFP) – Scientists unveiled on Wednesday a gossamer, ghostly creature discovered in the deepest reaches of the ocean between Indonesia and the Philippines.
The squidworm, up to 9.4 centimetres (3.7 inches) in length, is far more elegant than its name would suggest.
Swimming upright, it navigates by moving two body-length rows of thin, paddle-shaped protrusions that cascade like dominoes.
Ten tentacles as long or longer than its body stick out of its head, along with six pairs of curved nuchal organs that allow the squidworm to taste and smell underwater.
Using a remotely-operated submersible, a trio of marine biologists led by Karen Osborn of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California found the previously unknown animals in the Celebes Sea at a depth of 2.8 kilometres (1.7 miles).
"I was really excited," Osborn said of her first glimpse. "It was so tantalising because the animal was so different from anything previously described, with the fantastic headgear."
Squidworms live about 100 to 200 metres above the ocean floor, a layer rich in undiscovered fauna and flora, scientists say.
"I would estimate that when exploring the deep water column, more than half the animals we see are undescribed or new to science," Osborn said in an email.
Up to now, this region has been largely inaccessible because tools for collecting samples either scraped along the ocean floor, or mangled specimens so badly that they were useless or unrecognisable once brought to the surface.
The squidworm, Teuthidodrilus samae, does not appear to be a predator, feeding instead on bits of so-called "marine snow," a mix of sinking microscopic plants and animals, faecal material and cast-off mucus.
 
"Not the most appealing sounding food, but the large aggregates are rich in nutrients to feed on," Osborn said.
The Celebes Sea, a deep pocket basin isolated from surrounding deep water, is part of the Coral Triangle, a conservation hot spot due to its diverse lifeforms and unique geological history.
The squidworm is so different from known animals that it required the creation of a new genus, the level above species in the taxonomical ladder for classifying animals and plants.
The study was published in Biology Letters, a journal of the British Royal Society.

Analysis: Attack is North Korean bid for attention


A frustrated North Korea is lashing out again, this time with a deadly volley of artillery aimed at reminding rival South Korea — and the world — that it will not be ignored.
The barrage of shots fired Tuesday at a South Korean island lying within sight of its shores did not come out of nowhere. For weeks, North Korea has been angling for credit for reaching out to the U.S. and South Korea, and has warned that the cool response would come at a cost.
The destruction that set homes ablaze, sent civilians fleeing for underground shelters and killed two South Korean marines may have been more than Pyongyang bargained for in its game of chicken with the South.
But it gets attention, which is what Pyongyang wants as it seeks to restart negotiations to barter its nuclear program for much-needed aid.
It can be hard to remember in bustling, cosmopolitan Seoul that the Korean peninsula remains in a state of war.
Sixty years after the fighting began, the U.S.-backed South has risen to become the world's 15th-largest economy, an example of industriousness and pluck.
Two weeks ago, Seoul basked in the limelight of hosting more than 30 world leaders for the Group of 20 summit in what was seen as the country's diplomatic debut. Next week, South Korea will make its case for the right to hold the 2022 World Cup.
But a rising South Korea does not sit well with its poorer northern neighbor. Once the richer of the two Koreas, the North has suffered over the years from the loss of Soviet aid, economic mismanagement and natural disasters that destroyed its precious few resources.
And as the rest of the communist bloc has crumbled, North Korea has remained staunch in its "juche" policy of self-reliance, continuing to build up a nuclear program that has earned it pariah status with the West.
Its nuclear bombs and its unpredictability remain North Korea's most valuable assets, and Pyongyang has played its cards shrewdly over the decades.
The last two years have been a particularly delicate time in Pyongyang, with leader Kim Jong Il reportedly suffering a stroke in 2008 and then paving the way to name his youngest son as his successor.
But Kim Jong Un, still in his 20s and known as the Young General, won't have the benefit of decades of preparation that his father had before taking over from his father, the late North Korea founder Kim Il Sung.
There are at least three things Kim will want to secure before he can comfortably hand over the reins: loyalty to the Young General, economic stability and political security ensuring the regime's grip on power.
Time may be running out. Health issues notwithstanding, Kim is likely to want to formally anoint his heir in 2012, the centennial of Kim Il Sung's birth, a significant milestone that would cement the family's ruling status in ritualistic North Korea.
Winning the military's loyalty will be key in a society that operates under a "military first" policy.
The armistice signed in 1953 was designed to keep the peace, but North Korea has never accepted the maritime border drawn by the U.N. at the close of the Korean War, and the western waters have long been a flashpoint.
They've fought three deadly skirmishes there since 1999. The last one, a year ago, was particularly humiliating, with the North suffering one death and more wounded.
Revenge may have been behind the plot to take down South Korea's Cheonan warship, which investigators say was torn in two by a North Korean torpedo in March. If the young son wanted to earn the military's loyalty, it would have been a prize: 46 South Koreans died in the worst attack on Seoul's military since the Korean War.
Pyongyang denies involvement, as it has past provocations.
However, neither nation wants another war, and both have sought ways to repair relations without losing face.
Since taking office in February 2008, South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak has been sticking to a hard-line policy of demanding concrete action on denuclearization before offering the North any significant aid.
Yet in recent weeks, he has shown a limited willingness to yield, offering North Korea a shipment of rice and other humanitarian aid to help with devastating flooding and backing off demands that Pyongyang apologize for the Cheonan sinking.
North Korea, which is suffering under U.N. economic sanctions for its nuclear defiance, also has been reaching out, eager to get back to talks on winning aid in exchange for nuclear concessions.
Pyongyang has been putting out feelers in unprecedented fashion, allowing foreign journalists to cover a massive 65th anniversary parade for its ruling Workers' Party that served as an international debut for his son and heir.
Both sides also agreed to let families divided since the Korean War meet at a North Korean resort for reunions that inevitably draw attention to the emotional toll the peninsula's division has taken. There are rumors that top-level aides were trying to negotiate a summit between their two leaders.
But Pyongyang has become frustrated by the slow pace of restoring relations with Seoul and eventually the U.S., a key step toward its goal of securing aid and stability. That impatience has bubbled over into petulance.
The regime wants respect. And though it increasingly has turned to neighboring China for political and financial support — a strategic alliance that has broader geopolitical consequences — its sense of being rebuffed by the U.S. and South Korea still stings.
The decision to show off a new uranium enrichment plant to a U.S. scientist recently was a clear ploy to pressure Washington and Seoul and remind the allies what's at risk in putting off disarmament talks.
Drawing South Korean troops into a skirmish on an island populated by civilians was a pointed escalation that emphasized that Pyongyang, or the Young General, is prepared to play tough.
Smoke billowed into the air and screams sounded as Yeonpyeong's islanders ran from burning homes with shells raining down upon them.
For those who lived through the Korean War, the scene recalled the death and destruction of that conflict. It was North Korea's way of reminding the world that the war is not over and that ignoring it comes with dire consequences.

this day. 24th November 2010

hah! this morning, I just have one class, so that I can be more relaxed. I don't study about Pancasila Education, however, I will face the test in my class. Just sitting and do nothing until 10 a.m.
I went to college at 10 a.m. when I arrived there, I just started to study the Pancasila. I just read it glance. The lecture come and share the test paper. She just sit and watch us. So funny. I finished it in 30min. So quick right? Because the test answer is all ourself opinion. So it's easy.
I arrived home about 12.30 p.m., eating lunch and starting online. Before online, I continued my assignment because the deadline is closer. It's 5 days more, and I haven't finished yet. I type it more than yesterday, and having a new material to make it many, because I need to type min 15 pages.
After I tired of doing it, I started to blogging, facebooking, and twittering. I just online about one hour and then I prepared going teaching. And now I have arrived home from teaching. Starting blogging again and playing facebook's game.
I have one pocketbook that all the contents was about my daily life, even I didn't write it all, because I was easily forget about something. I always write in that book at night, when I have free time waiting for my two lil students to study. I really like my student name Leonardy, he was so funny, but sometimes was so sucks. And I really stressed because of his brother named Winardy. He was so difficult to trust me when I said something about the mathematics. I feel tired to teach him because he was so hard to memorizing the lesson. And the last, my big student, Affandi. He was so so sucks! When I arrived at 3 p.m. he will not come down immediately. I must wait for him about 10-15 min, so sucks to wait him! And when he memorizing his lesson, he will play his mobile phone a while. I have told him not to play, but didn't hear me. I'm very stressed too to teach him, his plus is he can memorizing his lesson quick and just have little mistake. hah!
Now 4.35 p.m., I will offline and continuing my assignment, because tomorrow, I will give it to my partner, so that she can make the conclusion.

note : can follow my blog if interesting. thank you.

me, MJ
