Pocket Camera VS SLR Camera

I’ll try to write in my (poor) English.. there might be a few of Indonesian..

A pocket camera is a small camera.. Now there are a lot of it with a nice 2.0″-3.0″ LCD and I dunno a bunch of stuffs in there that can make your photos look nicer..

A SLR camera is a big fancy camera usually a professional photographer would have one.. This type of camera needs more than one lenses depends on what kind of pictures you wanna take e.g macro, InfraRed,, etc..

The price,, obviously the pocket one is wayyy cheaper than the SLR one.. I have a small tiny pocket camera it’s Canon Powershot SD1000.. yes,, I really want to have a SLR one.. I was thinking to buy it with my own money .. anyway,, yeaa.. some people may thought that having a fancier camera or more expensive one can get a better pictures..

That’s what I thought before,, but now it’s different.. I think the quality of the pictures is not because of the Camera.. It doesn’t matter how much does the camera costs,, how fancy it is,, how long is the lenses but I think a good and nice picture can be taken by any camera even pocket it just depend on the people who holds the camera,, who moves around to get a good angle,, who clicks the button and captures the moments..

So,, if you want to buy a camera.. pocket camera is good enough.. Learn the basic of the photography with the small camera and once you know the trick the thingy you will able to buy a nice and fancy camera so by the time you know how to use it you can get a newest one.. It will safe up your money too.. one of my friends said that We want the better camera (read: SLR) is because we want to fulfill our self-esteem.. is that correct, isn’t it? (audiego)” I agree with that.. For example,, if you want to take a picture of a small flower on the field.. the flower is so small and you need to lay on the ground to get a good picture.. if you hold a SLR camera you will look like a great photographer who want to lay on the ground just for a small flower.. but if you hold a pocket camera I think you will look kinda lame.. well,, no offense.. but I feel it..

The pumpkin picture that I took.. I got that with a hard work,, trying to find a nice angle,, the lighting and some people were looking at me.. maybe they thought I was a crazy girl who was taking pictures with a small camera like a fake camera coz my camera is so small.. I don’t really care though,, as long I can get what I think the best..

anyway,, yea.. that’s a short (not really) idea that 2 different camera..

I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you

What a coldd dayy….!!

Today is soo coldd.. I’m in my school computer lab right now.. I’m glas I didn’t take PE class this year.. If you are a school athlete you an choose either take PE class or not.. I like sport,,, sometimes I feel bad coz I didn’t take PE.. But,, in this weather I feel happy.. If I did take PE.. I need to run on the track..

oh well.. anyway,, Today is not a really fun day I don’t know why.. I feel bored in all of my classes.. I was thinking to ask someone to pick me up then go home.. I wanna say that I’m sick. but the good side of my self ask me to stay.. and I’m staying.. I still have 3 more classes.. math –> I’m not in the mood to do math.. Literature –> I almost finish the book, so I’m ahead.. bussiness –> Probably I stay now only for this class.. I don’t really like business though,, but I need to be there, coz the lesson for today is important..

After school I wanna sleep a lot..!! I think I get cold.. since 2 days a go.. I feel dizzy all the time.. I thought I got flu.. Last night I sleep at 9 and woke up at 7.. I usually sleep at 12 and wake up at 6.. Yeaa.. probably I’m sick..

I think this year is colder than last year.. IT’s still fall but I wore 4 layers yesterday.. damnn so coldd..

I hope,, I could pass this dayy..  So, I can see a fun Friday..!! I hope tomorrow will be fun.. I need holiday.. I wanna sleepp..!!

Talking about ‘Malingsia’

I’m Indonesian.. I was born in Indonesia,, now, I’m studying abroad.. I’ve heard a lot about Indonesia and Malingsia, especially because I’m a member of the largest Indonesian online community,, kaskus.us .. When I was in Indo,, I know that malingsia claimed batik.. They also took one of our small island.

Couple months a go I heard that they claimed Indonesian folk song from Maluku,, Rasa Sayange.. The accent in that song especially in the word ’sayange’ with ‘e’ at the back represent Maluku’s accent..  Malingsia changed it become ‘Rasa Sayang Hey’. They also put the song into their website. The fact that it’s Indonesian made Indonesian people were mad. Finally,, they said that ‘Rasa Sayange’ is Indonesian, because Indonesia has the proof of it.

Other thing they also claimed ‘Reog Ponorogo’ as their tradition. Honestly, I don’t know what’s the history behind it maybe it is ours (Indonesian and Malingsian) tradition, it might only Indonesian. Malingsian said that it is ours,, but they claimed it, that that tradition is theirs,, not both of us..

I read an article that said,, Malingsia will claim that Indonesian Language is Melayu Language same as the language that they speak. but even Indonesian and melayu language came from Sumatra Island and Sumatra island is definitely Indonesia. Malingsia said if Indonesia still  arguing about ‘Rasa Sayange’ and ‘Reog Ponorogo’ they said they will claim our language..

After I read the article I was like.. WTF..!? They are the one who is  wrong, they also the one who took our song,  food, dance, etc. and now, they are angry with us..?!  If I were them I will be ashamed but they are Malingsia who never feel bad.

Oh,, btw,, if you search in the world map you will never find a country named ‘Malingsia’. They are actually Malaysia a country next to Indonesia that speaks kinda the same language with Indonesia,, but I wanna say It’s so different..!! Maling in our language means thief. Since they took a lot of Indonesian stuffs so we called them ‘maling’.

That’s what I thought about Indonesia and Malingsia.. sorry for my poor english.. Your comment and opinion are welcome..

Cold and Quiet..

Have you ever feel lonely in the coldness? Thanksgiving week.. I was alone.. It was a cold week and a quiet week.. My home that should be really noise on weekend,, this week you wouldn’t hear any music sound or people talking.. I was alone.. Everybody was going somewhere,, they asked me to go with them,, I didn’t want to.. I prefer to stay at home and sleep than go to the places that I feel uncomfortable there..

Alone, It was not that bad.. I realize that I need to be alone sometimes.. I’m sick with all the noises every weekend.. I really need a quiet time,, alone.. I got that.. I was so happy.. I could wake up anytime I want without wanyone waking me up just coz their conversation that is bothering me.. They talk too loud.. They don’t care about people who sleep in the morning and wake up in the afternoon..

I wish I could have another time like that..

I wish..

Happy.. Happy.. Happy.. Happy..

Happy…!!! that’s all I can say for todayy..!!

I woke up at uhhmm.. 8 o’clock in the morning,, chatted with kyoko then.. I went to church.. I ate lunch in Malingsian restaurant I ate prata. Kyoko said,, Why did iI eat there? lol.. Coz,, Most of the time I cursed themm.. :p I waited for my housemate coz we wanted to buy ext hard drive. In best buy,, it was only $69.99 for 320GB HD.. it’s so cheapp..

I wanted to buy one since long time a go.. Now,, I’ve only have a few more space because I’ve a lot of songs and photos.. I bought one.. The brand is seagate.. I went home and I told kyoko that I got one.. He asked me to open it,, I didn’t one to. I hug it really tight.. haha.. I ws so happy. I finally bought one..!! I openen it slowly,, and I saw a really cool black HD. again Kyoko asked me to plug it in the my laptop. I did and the light turned on.. haha.. I felt that I was so lame,, but I was just too happy..

After that,, I went to oakwood apartment and played Volleyball. It was so fun. And I tried to play tennis. It was so hard..!!! I cannot do it. I kept hitting with badminton style and that is wrong so.. but,, coz of that,, I’m sure,, I really want to play tennis.. at least I need to know how to do it rightly. so,, I will add my wish list,, I want to buy a tennis racket.. lolz..!!

well,, I’m happy today.. Thanks guys..!!

I Cried..

I called my mom last night.. I told her that I will be alone at home on Thank Giving.. Everyone is goin’ somewhere.. Well,, 5 People in my house the are going retreat and Lavin is goin’ to LA. I can’t go to LA,, mw aint didn’t let me.. The problem is just because the driver is teen.. and LA is so far.. She was right the one who will drive is my friend, he is teen.. but how could she become so paranoid..!? btw,, she gave me a good reason coz last march I just got a highway accident..

I told my mom about that. you know what,, she forced me to go retreat.. I was like,, r u serious??? Dude,, I’ll not go to the retreat and I know no one there.. I will not go retreat with a lot of adult there.. That,, Indonesian church retreat.. so,, all the kids,, adult,, teen are in the same place.. I will not go there,, dude.. I rather be alone at home.. I cried,, coz my mom kept asking me to go. I said no,, I will not go..!! whatever she say I will not go..!!! I told her that my cousin will come from Davis to here (my aunt’s daughter) I told my mom that she doesn’t even go to the retreat,, why should I go..!?

My mom doesn’t want me to be alone at home.. Why everyone is freakin’ paranoid..!? why don’t they think all the positive things instead the negative one..!? why my aunt thinks about accident,, why my mom thinks about burglary. WHY..!?

I don’t angry with my mom,, but why she doesn’t understand me..!? Why until I wanted to hang up the phone she still kept saying the same thing.. I finally talked to my bro.. I felt much better.. we had a small chat and he made me calm down.. Although, he doesn’t know about the retreat thing but, he told me about his stuffs, and I miss him..

I dunno what to say but,,
I will not go..
