Kawaii Andrea

I've been holding this post such a long time since I just don't have enough time to specially blogging. Those people on the photos are My Grandma and Andrea. My Grandma just had her birthday on 20th and Andrea on 10th, so they celebrated together kind of. I ANNOUNCE THAT ANDREA is MY FAVORITE BABY GIRL ON EARTH :-) This cute little girl just successfully steals my heart, since I like kids so much. She is 3, the zupa youngest one in family, the least younger is 10. I just love her.

p.s: Sorry for the uber small photos because I recently get bored to wait for ages if upload the grande ones.

Day Two, Ciao Bella!

1. I haven't been doing my hobbies with tumblr and Blog since my parents warned me to do my Extended Essay everyday (It was a warning, tell me about it so I was stuck in the study room sitting and thinking). Not that I am not responsible, but they are just too care about me and all these summer assignments. Well, I am so proud and glad to have parents like that - a really figure!

2. Let me just finish posting the stories behind our social activity, because many people already asked me about it. And I feel guilt if I don't post it.

3. So, scroll go and I will tell you!

Day two was the presentation's day. So there were 4 people who made presentations about the colleges specifically about the country and its culture. I made the one about United World College in the Power Point Presentation, then my co-year Hadyan, the genius made the one about Atlantic College, my third year Lidya made the one about South East Asia College, Trisy my zera made the one about Mastricht and my second year from Li Po Chun Junius. It was all went well. I don't really know about the other classes, because we did the presentation at the same time for the 3 classes, beside Hadyan's that genius from Atlantic College (talking about left and right brains) made such a really cool presentation on a poster! Thumbs up!

That genius with his grande presentation.

Well, on me, about Adriatic college it succeed! The kids were so into it. Telling them about Pasta, Pizza, Gelato, Ferrari, Ciao Bella, Bata, Coloseum, Venice, Rome and Juliet, Berlusconi ;-), Ciao Mama, Dante, Boticelli, Lamborgini, Canavaro, Coco, Nesta .... INFINITY! But it was fun, I tried to talk in Italian with a distinctive accent think that the kids like it. They said " Ciao Bella! Pronto! Numero UNO", it made my day.

Kevin, the one in the middle told me that all the things that I told about Italians, applied to me; talking with hands and to be passionate! I was already before I was there xP

Hallu My Kids, be quiet please

Hello, long time no post! After the Final of World Cup 2010. early in the morninh I had to leave house at 6 in the morning which night I didn't sleep. From Monday to Wednesday, the UWC Indonesian students had our Social Activity, with the kids from Yayasan The Master (Masjid Terminal), do you know what Masjid Terminal is? I'm sure you don't. It is Mosque and Station. So this informal school located at the back of Depok Station. Can you just imagine, they must be struggling to study! Despite the classes that are only separated with a tiny wall made from bamboo, the pollution and noisy sounds from the buses bother them everyday.

We are in front of The National Committee Office.

We left from Tendean, whose National Committee's office is there. There were 10 of us, from zero to third year - complete! From Pearson, Adriatic, Atlantic, Costa Rica, South East Asia, Mastricht, Li Po Chun, Mahindra, and Armand Hammer College. Immediately, after arriving there we introduced ourselves to three classes that we were about to teach. Well,I have the responsibility to introduce who we were as the current president of UWC Indonesia, replacing Kak Junius. Our social activity aims are raising awareness how important English is and motivate them to study continuously to face the future.

"Hello, Kids, we are the students from United World Colleges"

The first project was making a wishes list or goals. We gave them pieces of post it, then they had to write thing that they want to achieve by the end of the year. We basically said it was important to set goal, so that we'll be always on the track. I was so touched to see their goals.

" I want to help my parents"
"I want to be a doctor"
"I want to get a scholarship in Singapore"
"I want to be a solider"
"I want to be a nice kid"

Distributing the paper

After that we continued pretty much with learning English, we kept emphasizing that it was so important to learn English, and told them that English was one of the thing that brought us to study in United World Colleges. Also we told them how broad English was. They are so many English speakers with their own accents.

I AM "MALLING"

Lintang and Lola,xo

I just invented words. Mall-ing means a verb to go to mall. That thing can be considered as a habbit for Indonesian teenagers, a "big not" thing to be proud of. Well, to be honest - I don't spend my weekend at malls, I'm not a big going out. My Saturday night seems perfect with DVDs, food delivery and popcorns. I go to mall if I had a purpose; eating, watching, shopping. I'd prefer meet up at somebody's house or cafe, because mall treats people to be super consumptive. And, I still use my parent's money - so I just feel guilty, even they're ok with that. But, yesterday I went there to attend Brightspot. Look up one or two things for my daily wear. And I'm looking for a dress to attend my uncle wedding on September.

Food, One best thing about mall, they provide so many restaurants with great choices and atmosphere. So, I went to my favourite cheescake shop, MAQUI'S - it's a Japanesse. I love it so much. I just knew it when I went with my cousin last month after my arrival here. And I just love it. MAQUI'S is the best!

Brightspot - A Light for Indonesian Fashion

That famous fringe turbular shwal!

Yesterday, I went to Plaza Indonesia to attend Brightspot, " A curative market for cool stuff". Really it's an awesome place to see young and innovative Indonesian designers. They made extraordinary clother, with a really exclusive cutting - it reminds me of Parisian, London and Italian cutting, with padder,ruffles and layers. The also decorative the small booths in a really fancy way, so they spoiled your eyes to shop and shop more. There are some locally and internationally Indonesian famous clothing line such as NIKCIO and COTTON.INK. Something that really made me love cotton.ink - they invented a Turbular Shawl and introduce fringe mode in Indonesia for shawl, plus the owners/designers are ex students of my previous high school, SMA Santa Ursula Jakarta - that all girl school baby! Also NIKICIO, the owners who currently the designer study in the junior high school. There are also another super cool clothing like MAJIC, MONDAY TO SUNDAY and SIXTEEN D'SCALE for jeans. Looking for what they sell in Brightspot, what I can say is Jakarta is ready to be compared with Milan, New York, Paris and London. Ow yeah baby!

Continuing Life in Italy!

UWCAd, I think I am Ready, ready for you!














Isn't beautiful. Studying surounded the Adriatic Sea. Bellisima!


This is where I'm going continuing my life, UNITED WORLD COLLEGE OF ADRIATIC, Duino, Trieste, Italy. Well I prefer to say continuing life than continuing my study, because I believe it's not all about study, but this is about how I will see, learn, experience things. Things that maybe I have never known their existence, things that are really new for me, things that would open my mind wider and richer. See their mission . . ."United World Colleges is a unique organisation. It is the only global educational NGO that brings students together from all over the world, selected from within their own countries, on merit and regardless of their ability to pay. These students come together at one of twelve United World Colleges (UWC) that aim to foster international understanding and peace." Wow, I am so lucky! This is what I've been dreaming of since I was in Junior High School (it was the moment when I already knew what I wanted to be, do in life). At that time, I imagined having a lot of friend from all over the world. And now, it was not just an imagination, it's a reality, real! In my UWC application essay I wrote that I want to inspire the youth, specially Indonesian youth. I wrote that I want to make a journal, and this blog would be the follow up. So, I hope you like it and got inspired! CIAO!
