    Technology are rapidly growing in this modern era, there are various advantage from technology that very useful for our daily life, such as in communication, education, economy, social, and of course refreshment, like online games. Some people choose to stay at their home and playing an online game when they are bored, for the example when they are back from work some people prefer to stay at their home rather than hanging out with their friends. Before they decide to become a gamer, they should know that online games provide so many benefits and impact for people who are playing.

    Online games, is a word to represent the digital game in this modern era. Online games can easily found in our daily life. There are so many platforms that can play online games such as, computer, console, handheld, and even a smartphone. People are often playing online games when they are bored and need to refresh their mind, but many people are making online games as their hobby and a competitive tournament.

    The development of online games itself cannot be separated from the development of computer and technology itself. In the past, online game is different with the current one. When online games were first introduced in 1960, it can be played by only two players in one computer. Then the computer with time-sharing capability appears, so the players are not required to be in the same room.

    In early 1970, packet based computer networking were created, and computer network was no longer based on Local Area Network (LAN) but the computers are using Wide Area Network (WAN) and then WAN become the technology that now exist called internet. Along with internet development, online games were created for military needs such as war simulation, and air combat simulation.

    Student will be obtaining some benefits from playing online games. Just like, student society will be easily monitored by their parents, student brains will be more active in thinking, they will be more responsive, and more creative. Even they can learn the other language way easier from online game, because they are doing some communicating with foreign every day.

    "Learning motivation can also be interpreted as a series of attempts to provide certain conditions, so that someone wants and wants to do something, and if he does not like it, it will try to nullify or circumvent those feelings of dislike". (A.M. Sardiman (2005: 75)

    Meanwhile, the negative impacts from online game is, students will be lazy in learning, time to studying and helping their parents after school will be decreased because they are busy playing games, their money will be easily wasteful, and even their prayer time will be decreased too. Their dietary habits will be disturbed, because they spend too much time in front of their monitor/television that will be make the students forget about the other activities, like lunch. But there are some gamers who are suffering from obesity, because they are eat too much junk foods while gaming. There are some cases from some country that some gamers die while gaming, the cause of their death is they are playing online games more than twenty hours in a day.

    Some serious problem for a student who are become a gamer is they are prefer to stay at their home every day, and have a principle that home is the most comfortable zone so they never go outside and gather with their friend. Most dangerous level from this activity is they will become an anti-social, even they will eat, and drink in their gaming room. That will be make them very unhealthy, and they will become shy and unconfident person when they are come outside. Slow but sure students will isolate their life from the society and become introvert person who does not like an outdoor activity.

    Same like the first problem, most of students will be too obsessed with gaming. There are some cases in Indonesia that elementary student killed his friend because he played a game named “Smack Down” too much. Their imagination will become wild and uncontrolled, even they can have a mental problem. Students will never go from their room, they called their room as “Comfortable Zone”, they will forget the other activities just for gaming. Some gamer usually did not care about when will they get married, because they did not need a girlfriend even a wife, they will satisfy their passion just for game.

    This is the most common problem for someone who become a gamer, they will always run out of money. Most of young gamer or a gamer who did not have a job will be easily run out of money, because they are always spend their money for buying a game, in-game items, and building a new gaming setup. There is a case that students stealing their parent’s money just for playing online game at i-cafe. They will do anything just for playing an online game, even they will rob a bank just for building an expensive pc gaming.

    To prevent a student to become an anti-social is invite them to an outdoor activity. This will be help to reduce the number of an anti-social gamer, their parent should organize their gaming activity. A professional gamer “never” stayed at their home just for playing game, even they are often to do some donation for people who need it. Their money is usually saved for the important things.

    Some young gamer is usually can’t organize their time well, at this situation their parent and friend should be pay more attention for a student who have this habit. Their parent should be wise and make a schedule for do some a family recreation, make a comfortable and warm situation just like a family gathering will help to reduce a student to become obsessed with gaming. Their friend has an important role too; they should be inviting their friend who are too obsessed with gaming to do some outdoor activities, like going to the beach, hiking, or some kind like that.

    This one is the most important thing, every young gamer or student who have a hobby like gaming should be save their money for the future. They will realized that finding a money is not an easy things. Saving money for the future is one of the great habits of wealthy people. Rich people are getting richer because they have successful habits of controlling their expenses and being careful in the way they spend their money to grow their expenses. Saving money does not mean that you have to be thrifty. People who set the goal to save must learn to save first and spend afterwards. If you want to achieve your financial goal the most important step is to save first.

    Technological advances have changed everything, in the past before technology are growing students more often at home to learn, now everything has changed, since the existence of a computer internet the emergence of a game that requires to connected to the internet that is online games, slowly online games erode the culture first, students assume that online gaming is more interesting than learning. The results of research using qualitative research methods showed that students prefer to play online games rather than learning or others, the role of teachers and parents is very influential on control issues, more parents to regulate the habits of children, more children are taught positive things, to learn or play music, while teachers are more direct to the talents of each child's interests so that their hobby is channeled and not run towards online games.

    Sousei no Onmyouji


    Anime is a Japanese word for animation, there is no difference with the other animation. In early 1900, the first anime has been created and its become more popular until now. Not only the children, adult is also loves anime, even in this era anime has been quickly spread out all over the world. What makes anime is so popular is they have unique and anti-mainstream storyline, they are also have important moral message inside the story. My first anime that i have been watched is Bakusou Kyoudai Lets and Go!! when i was in the playgroup. Now time has been passed, i have watched so many anime show, and the coolest and interesting anime is Sousei no Onmyouji or Twin Star Exorcist in english title. This anime has became my favorite because it is have a nice storyline,cool characters, and good moral message.

    Sousei no Onmyouji take places in modern Japan, its tell the story about two young and talented exorcist named Adashino Benio and Rokuro Enmadou. In the first episode, Rokuro appear that he is a student of junior highschool that no longer want to become an exorcist because he have gloomy past about his friend. When he was walking on the bridge, he surprised because he saw a girl falling from the sky, and that girl is Adashino Benio (his future mate). He was shocked because he saw that Benio is an exorcist like him, and she have a same dream with Rokuro to become the most powerful exorcist. Exorcist is a human with supernatural ability to take down the merciless, brute, and evil things called Kegare.

    There is a lot of interesting and mysterious character in this anime, for the example is Juuni Tenshou or The Twelve Guardians. Juuni Tenshou is a twelve elite exorcist that posses extremely powerful ability compared to the regular exorcist led by Tsuchimikado Arima. Member of this organization are, Sada Sakura, Shimon Ikaruga, Seigen Amawaka, Arata Inanaki, Narumi Ioroi, Mitejima Subaru, Tatara, Kankuro Mitosaka, Kasukami Cordelia, Miku Zeze, Kengo Ujii, and Tenma Unomiya. Strongest member of this organization is Tenma Unomiya, he is also a captain of this organization. He wield a giant sword as his weapon, and he was be able to kill his enemy in one blow.

    This anime have an extremely powerful villain called Basara. Basara is the humanoid Kegare that have a strength equal with the member of the twelve guardians. Most renowned and powerful Basara are Kuranashi and Kamui. There is a human that formerly an exorcist that turned into the Basara named Ijika Yuuto. He is Benio's elder brother and also Rokuro's old friend, he is so obsessed with power that what makes him turned became an enemy. My favorite character from this anime is Tenma Unomiya, because he look so cool and powerful. 

    Sousei no Onmyouji have an interesting moral message within, and it is make me inspired. The moral is teamwork, i have watched a lot of scene that Benio and Rokuro fought together against their enemies and they are supporting each other. I bet that they will not survive if they are not fighting as a team. We can apply this moral in real life, that teamwork is better than working alone, because everything will be easier if we are working as a team.

    Stop The Lies, Say The Truth




         Back in 2008, when i was 10 years old and im still in the 4th grade of Elementary School, i got an unforgettable experience that i couldn’t forgot until now. I make a lie that causes an incident, that incident happened because i lied to my parents that i would stayover at my bestfriend’s house. but actually at my other friend’s house. I know they wouldn’t allow it if i said the truth so i lied to them. Although at first it went well, but my parents finally knew that lie because they asked my bestfriend if i was stayover in his house and he tell the truth to my parents. So, after they found out my lie they are become very worried about me. After that a big problem arose, my father, my brother and also my bestfriend came to pick me up from my friend’s house, but then i disappointed them because of my stubbornness that i don’t want to go home at that time, and also i make my bestfriend upset and angry to me because of my stubbornness. After that incident, i began to set my heart to no longer make lies because i don’t want such incidents happen again.
         One day as usual in the elementary school, i did some activities like studying, and playing with my classmates. At the break time, i saw my classmate his name is Asep which was talking with his friend, Hadi and also with some of his other friends. Because i was very curious about what they were talking about then i joined them, and finally i know that they were talking about their plans to sleepover at Asep’s house tomorrow. Then they were asked me that im busy or not tomorrow, i replied them that i have a free time, so they invited me to join the sleepover too, but i refused their invitation because i had never stay over at my friend’s house before and im sure that my parents would not allow it. But, they forced me to join them because that would be better than just staying at my home. Because i don’t make them disappointed, so accepted their invitation to stayover and i would try to plead my parents until they agree it.
         Still in that day after the school, when i got home i hurried to the kitchen to ask permission to my mother who was cooking there, then i told my mother that i would sleepover at my friend’s house. She asked me which friend i meant, she would not allow it if i went to sleepover at a house of my friend that she did not know because she afraid that something bad would happen to me. Then at that time i said a lie that i will stay over at my bestfriend, Ridwan. My mother allow it because she already knew Ridwan and also his house. At that moment i only ask the permission to my mother because my father which was a junior highschool teacher still has not returned from the school where he teaches.
         In the afternoon the next day, i said goodbye to my mother and my father, i pretented to went toward the way of Ridwan’s house, but when i felt i was already far from my home, then i turned my walk towards the way of Asep’s house. About 30 minutes later, i finally arrived at Asep’s house, i was greeted by Asep, Hadi and other friends, i saw they were looked a bit suprised because they thought i would not come to join the sleepover. We enjoyed our time there by done some activities like playing cards, watching tv and eating together. At 8 pm, an unexpected incident occurred, i did not expected that my father would come there accompanied by my brother and Ridwan. Then my father talked to Asep’s parents that is it right that i sleepover at their house and they said yes, then Asep’s parents called me and told me that my father came here. When i get outside, my father told me to go home because he thought that i was troublesome Asep’s parents. But i refused to go home and Asep’s parents are also said that i did not bother them at all, then my father understood and then came home with Ridwan and my brother.
         I continued my activies at Asep’s home until late night, and at the next day until 11 AM i still have not back to my home, then Ridwan come back again to pick me up, but i still do not want to go home, because Ridwan still forced me, so i decided to go home and then say goodbye to Asep, his friends and his parents. On the way home i asked Ridwan that why on yesterday night he, my brother and my father could come to Asep’s house, then he said that my parents asked him am i sleepover in his house, Ridwan said no to them, so my parents asked him where actually i was, and he said that i actually stay over at Asep’s house. Then my father asked Ridwan to take him to the place that i sleepover (Asep’s house) because he was worried to me.
         After that incident, i finally realized something, that i should always tell the truth, because if i lie about something, then some bad things will come to me. That incident made me realize that honestly is a very important thing and that experience also makes me stay away from the lies until now. The lesson i could get from that incident is even i tried to hide my lies as well as it does, my lies will finally known by people and that will make bad impact on myself and others. Although you will not able to get what you want not as like when you are lying. Even though you will get it, but you will regret it soon. Some people said that honest people will be much like by other because honest people are so trustworthly, So, its better to always tell the truth and become a honest people.

    Narrative Essay

    The life experiences of a person the different from good experience and bad experience, depending on a person living his life journey. The journey of life can be an experience and in making learning by ourselves or others. There is no experience then we will not be able to measure how good or bad we are for social life or married life. Experience is an event providing a valuable experience for ourselves. Experience is the best teacher, we can take a lesson from that experience and I believe that. This was proven when I joined with student External Organization.
    Organization is an indispensable element in human life (let alone in modern life). Organizations help us carry out things or activities that can not be properly implemented as indivudu. In addition, it can be said again that the organization helps the continuity of knowledge and science. Organizations are part of our working environment, and where we play. Organizations affect life. Conversely, we can also affect the life of the organization. When I entered the college, I started a slightly different life. I started to join external organizations since the first semester. Because since Senior High School high I have been to join in campus external organization. A movement organization that embodies nationalist people. GMNI, that's my organization. At GMNI organization I meet peoples from various campuses, different study programs, different kinds of thoughts and various groups (race, ethnicity, and religion). There I tried to mingle with them, share knowledge, share experiences and also share information.
    Almost two years at GMNI organization, I have got various experiences. from start to life experience to knowledge. Visiting other areas, I learned to mingle and share knowledge from various people's knowledge. In 2016 I once felt the warmth of sitting in the parliamentary seat, while attending a seminar held by GMNI center organization in Jakarta, precisely in the MPR building. Visiting other areas such as Bandung, Cianjur, Karawang and Cirebon, I managed to get knowledge and also new friends from various regions. From every process I've been through since 2016, I try to run for to be leader in 2017. And finally I was elected leader in 2017.
    When I became a leader, many different kinds of Problems. From the start of unruly people, internal conflicts, external conflicts and differences of opinion when deciding on a matter. But this is the art of organization. Because this country embraces a democratic system, everyone is free to express opinions, defend, humiliate, and blaspheme. And do not forget the other side I also got a very happy experience, can meet with local officials and known to many people. The position we hold relates to trust. In carrying out our duties, we are entrusted with trust, can be in the form of authority or matter. We are required to be honest, not to abuse the trust given. It takes courage to fight negative desires and practice our honesty.
    As has been explained the experience is not only a journey of life that is simply missed and not get anything, but an experience capable of providing supplies for our next life. The lesson I can take from my experience with joining GMNI organization is that I become more mature in thinking and behaving, my knowledge of organizing increases, my nationalism insights are growing, the love of my country, and the sense of the importance of a life and the concern of my fellow human beings are increasing and not forget too many friends in the city, or outside the city. The most noticable is confidence and More than others, people who organize in expressing opinions while discussing as there are more confident elements there, this is because within the organization itself has been set up the procedures of put forward and the technique of expressing opinions, other than that people who organize more courageous put forward an opinion which is accompanied by examples because it has been frequently reviewed and directly witnessed by members of the organizers.

         Stop Lying, Tell The Truth

         A few years ago, when i was 10 years old and im still in the 4th grade of Elementary School, i got an unforgettable experience, that was a big trouble which was caused by the lies that i was said to my parents, when i lied to them and made them worried so much to me. That experience made me realize that honestly is a very important thing and that experience also makes me stay away from the lies until now.
         One day, as usual in the elementary school, i did some activities like studying, and playing with my classmates. At the break time, i saw my classmate his name is Asep which was talking with his friend and also his niece, Hadi and some of his other friends. Because i was very curious about what they were talking about then i joined them, and finally i know that they were talking about their plans to sleepover at Asep’s house tomorrow. Then they were asked me that im busy or not tomorrow, i replied them that i have a free time, so they invited me to join the sleepover too, but i refused their invitation because i had never stay over at my friend’s house before and im sure that my parents would not allow it. But, they forced me to join them because that would be better than just staying at my home.
         Still in that day, after school when i got home then i hurried to the kitchen to ask permission to my mother who was cooking there, then i told my mother that i would sleepover at my friend’s house. She asked me which friend i meant, she would not allow it if i went to sleepover at a house of my friend that she did not know because she afraid that something bad would happen to me. Then at that time i said a lie that i will stay over at my bestfriend, Ridwan. My mother allow it because she already knew Ridwan and also his house. At that moment i only ask the permission to my mother because my father which was a junior highschool teacher still has not returned from the school where he teaches.
         In the afternoon the next day, i said goodbye to my mother and my father, i pretented to went toward the way of Ridwan’s house, but when i felt i was already far from my home, then i turned my walk towards the way of Asep’s house. About 30 minutes later, i finally arrived at Asep’s house, i was greeted by Asep, Hadi and other friends, i saw they were looked a bit suprised because they thought i would not come to join the sleepover. We enjoyed our time there by done some activities like playing cards, watching tv and eating together.
         At 8 pm, an unexpected incident occurred, i did not expect that my father would come there accompanied by my brother and Ridwan. My father talked to Asep’s parents that is it rght that i sleepover at their house and they said yes, then Asep’s parents called me and told me that my father came here. When i get outside, my father told me to go home because he thought that i was troublesome Asep’s parents. But i refused to go home and Asep’s parents are also said that i did not bother them at all, then my father understood and then came home with Ridwan and my brother.
         I continued my activities at Asep’s home until late night, and at the next day until 11 AM im still have not back to my home, then Ridwan come back again to pick me up, but i still do not want to go home, because Ridwan still forced me, so i decided to go home and then say goodbye to Asep, his friends and his parents. On the way home, i asked Ridwan that why on yesterday night he, my brother and my father could come to Asep’s house, then he said that my parents asked him am i sleepover in his house, Ridwan said no to them, so my parents asked him where actually i was, and he said that i actually stay over at Asep’s house. Then my father asked Ridwan to take him to the place that i sleepover (Asep’s house) because he was worried to me.
         After that incident, i finally realized something, that i should always tell the truth, because if lying at something, then some problem will come to me. The lesson that i could get from this experience is that even if i tried to hide the lies as well as it does, it will finally known by people and that will make bad impact on myself and others. So, it’s better to tell the truth even though it feels heavy and bitter.

    My First Video Game


       Learning something new is a nervous moment for everyone, because they did not have an idea about how to do the things that they will learn. Especially when people try to learn an extreme sport like skateboarding, diving, and wall climbing. But learning something fun like video game is a different thing, most people will assume that this is a very unique experience, because they did not feels any kind of nervous or fear. Just like me, learning a video game is the most memorable funny experience, because that is made me more cooperative, and easy to learn english.

       When i was 4 years old, my parents gave me a gaming console named Sega Dreamcast as a birthday gift, i am so happy but in the same time i feel a little bit confuse about how to operate and play the game with that. Then my brother told me how to operate that, and letting me to learn by myself. I always remember that my first video game that finished by myself was Sonic the Hedgehog.

       From there, i feel that i am in love with video games. When i was at 5 my mother gave me a Playstation One as my playgroup graduation gift, i was so happy with that, and then i have played and finished many challenging games like Final Fantasy series, Tomba, and Threads of Fate. When i was playing them, i am realize that my english was get an improvement. I can communicate with english and practicing both in school and in the game.

       In the elementary school, i had always got A score on english. My teacher asked me how could i learn english? And then i told her that i always playing a video games and never joined any course or read a books. She was surprised and then gave me an applause. When i was on junior highschool i had always got the best score as usual, my english teacher always told me that i must register myself to do english contest, but i always refused because i always realize that i don't want to became an arrogant because of my skill.

       Day by day, i became more interested and serious in gaming. In late 2009 i become a PC gamer, and joined in a local gaming community, my english skill was become more improved than before. I was be able to communicate with the other player from the other country, most of them are American and Bulgarian. In the first time that i played online game, i was a solo player that very arrogant to the others, because i feel that i was stronger from them, but someone told me that i can beat the hardest boss faster if i was on the team. From there, i am no longer become a solo player, instead become a very cooperative and friendly player to newbie.

       I always remember that when i was reach the max level, there was a lower level player asked me that he want to join with me. But unfortunately, i refused and told him that i am a solo player who never joined with the others. He was so dissapointed, but in another day i nearly die because of my mistake. I pulled the hardest world boss in the game then suddenly he impaled me until i am dying, and then the player that asked that he want to join appear with a lot of his friends. Together, we were be able to takedown the boss, his friend healed me and then i told him an apologize because i was so arrogant. I joined with his team, and realized that teamwork is very important than solo.

       Everyone have their own memorable experience, and there is a quotes that said "Experience is the best teacher" and that was right for me. I was be able to studying english without joining any english course because i always learning from communicating with the foreign. Beside of that i am become more cooperative person, because if you want to finish the game faster you will need a great teamplay.

    The first video game was invented back in 1940. The purpose of making the video game not only to entertain people also to proving the development of technology itself. Not only that, some people use the video game to handle stress, become less depressed and get less hostile during stressful tasks. Today, many claims that video games can lead to violence, mental illness, and character malfunction. In fact, this is not true according to study at Texas A&M conducted by Associate Professor Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson in 2010 showed that someone who plays video game able to handle stress, avoiding mental illness and character malfunction. I will show you the advantages of video games according to the research.

    First, playing video games could increase memory capacity. In a 2015 study in The Journal of Neuroscience, researchers from the University of California, Irvine recruited 69 participants and asked them to play Super Mario 3D World for two weeks. The researcher said, "Because of their engaging experiences and enriching 3D virtual environments, provide our brain with meaningful stimulation,". The result is the people who played the game ended up doing better on follow-up memory tasks.

    Second, In 2010 Professor Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson sample 103 students, and he orders the student to plays no game, a non-violent game, a violent game with good versus evil theme, or a violent game in which they played ‘the bad guy.’ The results are that violent games reduce depression and hostile feelings. He also said that a violent game can be as a therapy to help to find a way to reduce the stress in real life.

    But, we can not close our eyes that lots of mass murder linked to the video games. The reason is that the suspect played the video game and their reason doing the murder is because they inspired by the video game. But, when I read through the suspect family background their relationship between the suspect and his family is not too good. Some of the suspects also got bullied by his friend at the school. So we can see the main factor, someone, causing violence, got a mental illness or character malfunction is not the video games but the person-environment itself.

    In conclusion, when playing the video game we have to be wise. Make sure you get yourself enough rest, enough socialize because it affects your body and mental condition. For the parent who has a kid who likes playing a video game, make sure to keep them accompany.

    Knowing The Election Candidates Informations






         Election is a means for the people to be able to convey their aspirations by choosing the candidates for the people's representatives, the election is a manifestation of the democratic system that established by the state that uses it, no exception in Indonesia which is a country that also embraces the system of democratic government. As a voter, every individual person must have the choice of candidates, but some of us choose the candidates without knowing exactly about the candidate or it party bearer. Of course it is less good, because if we choose a candidate without knowing it first we will make mistakes if the candidate is not in accordance with what we expect. Then, to prevent it, we can do  one of the ways, the way is finding out the informations about the candidates of the election. By finding out some information about the candidates for the election, we will definitely know about how the candidates are. So, in this paragraphs will explain what we need to know about the candidates for the election and what is the importance of knowing that for us as the prospective voters.
         First is by recognize the candidates, before choosing, we as the voters need to know about the background history or biography of the candidates. The candidate's biography may contain about their educational background, work, activities in the community and in daily life with the community. Through the introduction of the curriculum vitae of candidates and political parties, we as voters have at least the basic descriptions and information about them, so that when we make a choice we can consider the good and bad things the candidate has, because it is very likely that the elected candidate's life background is not in line with our expectations.
         Furthermore is by knowing their vision, the vision is contains a sentence that becomes a dream for the candidate to be achieved when they elected. Vision must be contain several of characteristics such as; can be imagined, interesting, realistic, achievable, clear, aspirational, responsive to change and easy to understand. By knowing the vision of the candidate's representative, we will know what they will accomplish if they are elected. Then is knowing the candidate's mission, basically mission is a basic reason of existence of vision, mission has strategic position, because it must be able to translate vision and technically have to be able to apply it into the programs which they will do. We as voters have to look at the missions of the candidates, because the mission is the first step towards the programs that can be easily observed.
         The last is about their programs, the programs is the technical translations of the vision and mission that offered by the candidates to us the voters. Usually, the candidates package the programs so well, so it looks perfect and also promises a better-impressed future for us. Thus, we as voters must be smart and careful in assessing the programs that offered by candidates, we must be able to assess whether the programs are realistic and in accordance with the capabilities of the candidates.
         There may be many people who say that it is useless to know everything that concerns about the candidates that we will choose, for example in the life background history of the candidates, they may cheat by lying about their life history, then the candidates vision and mission are also limited to the promise and they will not make it happen when they are elected, and they deny all promises that they expressed during the campaign, if the vision and mission are fake, of course, in the implementation of the programes will cause disappointment for us as the voters. However, that is not entirely true, because there are many candidates who are honest, they include their actual life history, then realize the vision and mission they expressed during the campaign, and then the results of the program have a positive impact on our progress.
         In conclusion, by knowing all the details about the candidates, of course we will be easier to consider who we will choose, so then we are no longer confused again in choosing the candidates who will probably change our future. Many people may say it is useless, but by knowing about the candidates information, you will become a careful and intellegent voter in choosing a candidate in every elections.
