One More Time, One More Chance
If I lose any more than this, will my
heart be forgiven
How much pain before I can see you again
One more time, please don't change the season
One more time to the time when we fool around
When our path cross each other, I am always the first to turn
Making me indulge more in my selfish way
One more chance tripped by memories
One more chance we cannot choose our next place
I am always searching somewhere for you
The opposite station platform, the back alley window
Even though I know you won't be here
If my wish is to be granted, please bring me to you right now
Betting and embracing everything
To show you there's nothing else I can do
Anybody should be fine if it was just to ease loneliness
Because the stars in the night sky seems like falling, I can't lie to myself
One more time, please dont' change the season
One more time to the time when we fool around
I am always searching somewhere for you
Even at the intersection and dream
Even though I know you won't be here
If miracle was to happen, I want to show it to you right now
A new morning, myself
and the "I love you" which I couldn't say
Summer's memory is revolving
The sudden disappearance of heart beat
I am always searching somewhere for you
At dawn's town, in Sakuragi-cho
Even though I know you won't come here
If my wish is to be granted, please bring me to you right now
Betting and embracing everything
To show you there's nothing else I can do
I am always searching somewhere for your fragment
At the destination's shop, At the corner of the newspaper
Even though I know you won't be there
If miracle was to happen, I want to show it to you right now
A new morning, myself
And the "I love you" which I couldn't say
I always end up looking somewhere for your smile
At the railway crossing of the express train
Even though I know you won't be here
If life can be repeated, I'll go to you many times over
There's nothing else that I want
Nothing else is more important than you
How much pain before I can see you again
One more time, please don't change the season
One more time to the time when we fool around
When our path cross each other, I am always the first to turn
Making me indulge more in my selfish way
One more chance tripped by memories
One more chance we cannot choose our next place
I am always searching somewhere for you
The opposite station platform, the back alley window
Even though I know you won't be here
If my wish is to be granted, please bring me to you right now

One More Time, One More Chance
Once upon a
time a very poor woodcutter lived in a tiny cottage in the forest
with his two children, Hansel and Gretel. His second wife often
ill-treated the children and was forever nagging the woodcutter.
"There is not enough food in the house for us all. There are too many mouths to feed! We must get rid of the two brats," she declared. And she kept on trying to persuade her husband to abandon his children in the forest.
"Take them miles from home, so far that they can never find their way back! Maybe someone will find them and give them a home." The downcast woodcutter didn't know what to do. Hansel who, one evening, had overheard his parents' conversation, comforted Gretel.
"Don't worry! If they do leave us in the forest, we'll find the way home," he said. And slipping out of the house he filled his pockets with little white pebbles, then went back to bed.
All night long, the woodcutter's wife harped on and on at her husband till, at dawn, he led Hansel and Gretel away into the forest. But as they went into the depths of the trees, Hansel dropped a little white pebble here and there on the mossy green ground. At a certain point, the two children found they really were alone: the woodcutter had plucked up enough courage to desert them, had mumbled an excuse and was gone.
Night fell but the woodcutter did not return. Gretel began to sob bitterly. Hansel too felt scared but he tried to hide his feelings and comfort his sister.
"Don't cry, trust me! I swear I'll take you home even if Father doesn't come back for us!" Luckily the moon was full that night and Hansel waited till its cold light filtered through the trees.
"Now give me your hand!" he said. "We'll get home safely, you'll see!" The tiny white pebbles gleamed in the moonlight, and the children found their way home. They crept through a half open window, without wakening their parents. Cold, tired but thankful to be home again, they slipped into bed.
Next day, when their stepmother discovered that Hansel and Gretel had returned, she went into a rage. Stifling her anger in front of the children, she locked her bedroom door, reproaching her husband for failing to carry out her orders. The weak woodcutter protested, torn as he was between shame and fear of disobeying his cruel wife. The wicked stepmother kept Hansel and Gretel under lock and key all day with nothing for supper but a sip of water and some hard bread. All night, husband and wife quarreled, and when dawn came, the woodcutter led the children out into the forest.
Hansel, however, had not eaten his bread, and as he walked through the trees, he left a trail of crumbs behind him to mark the way. But the little boy had forgotten about the hungry birds that lived in the forest. When they saw him, they flew along behind and in no time at all, had eaten all the crumbs. Again, with a lame excuse, the woodcutter left his two children by themselves.
"I've left a trail, like last time!" Hansel whispered to Gretel, consolingly. But when night fell, they saw to their horror, that all the crumbs had gone.
"I'm frightened!" wept Gretel bitterly. "I'm cold and hungry and I want to go home!"
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to look after you!" Hansel tried to encourage his sister, but he too shivered when he glimpsed frightening shadows and evil eyes around them in the darkness. All night the two children huddled together for warmth at the foot of a large tree.
When dawn broke, they started to wander about the forest, seeking a path, but all hope soon faded. They were well and truly lost. On they walked and walked, till suddenly they came upon a strange cottage in the middle of a glade.
"This is chocolate!" gasped Hansel as he broke a lump of plaster from the wall.
"And this is icing!" exclaimed Gretel, putting another piece of wall in her mouth. Starving but delighted, the children began to eat pieces of candy broken off the cottage.
"Isn't this delicious?" said Gretel, with her mouth full. She had never tasted anything so nice.
"We'll stay here," Hansel declared, munching a bit of nougat. They were just about to try a piece of the biscuit door when it quietly swung open.
"Well, well!" said an old woman, peering out with a crafty look. "And haven't you children a sweet tooth?"
"Come in! Come in, you've nothing to fear!" went on the old woman. Unluckily for Hansel and Gretel, however, the sugar candy cottage belonged to an old witch, her trap for catching unwary victims. The two children had come to a really nasty place.
"You're nothing but skin and bones!" said the witch, locking Hansel into a cage. I shall fatten you up and eat you!"
"You can do the housework," she told Gretel grimly, "then I'll make a meal of you too!" As luck would have it, the witch had very bad eyesight, an when Gretel smeared butter on her glasses, she could see even less.
"Let me feel your finger!" said the witch to Hansel every day to check if he was getting any fatter. Now, Gretel had brought her brother a chicken bone, and when the witch went to touch his finger, Hansel held out the bone.
"You're still much too thin!" she complained. When will you become plump?" One day the witch grew tired of waiting.
"Light the oven," she told Gretel. "We're going to have a tasty roasted boy today!" A little later, hungry and impatient, she went on: "Run and see if the oven is hot enough." Gretel returned, whimpering: "I can't tell if it is hot enough or not." Angrily, the witch screamed at the little girl: "Useless child! All right, I'll see for myself." But when the witch bent down to peer inside the oven and check the heat, Gretel gave her a tremendous push and slammed the oven door shut. The witch had come to a fit and proper end. Gretel ran to set her brother free and they made quite sure that the oven door was tightly shut behind the witch. Indeed, just to be on the safe side, they fastened it firmly with a large padlock. Then they stayed for several days to eat some more of the house, till they discovered amongst the witch's belongings, a huge chocolate egg. Inside lay a casket of gold coins.
"The witch is now burnt to a cinder," said Hansel, "so we'll take this treasure with us." They filled a large basket with food and set off into the forest to search for the way home. This time, luck was with them, and on the second day, they saw their father come out of the house towards them, weeping.
"Your stepmother is dead. Come home with me now, my dear children!" The two children hugged the woodcutter.
"Promise you'll never ever desert us again," said Gretel, throwing her arms round her father's neck. Hansel opened the casket.
"Look, Father! We're rich now . . . You'll never have to chop wood again."
And they all lived happily together ever after.
"There is not enough food in the house for us all. There are too many mouths to feed! We must get rid of the two brats," she declared. And she kept on trying to persuade her husband to abandon his children in the forest.
"Take them miles from home, so far that they can never find their way back! Maybe someone will find them and give them a home." The downcast woodcutter didn't know what to do. Hansel who, one evening, had overheard his parents' conversation, comforted Gretel.

Friendship
is like the two rings that have different shapes
But
can be combined with a very strong sense
Friendship
is just a word
But
it has a deep meaning
We’ll
feel it when actually find
A
continued friend in a life
Friendship
has always been an oasis when we experience sadness
Friendship
is always a joy to be complementary
A
day without friends is very strange
Months
without friends are very painful
True
friends will always be missed
Talks
will continue to be memorable
Easy
to get a rich friend
But
hard getting a forever friend
Because
a true friend is not for a reason

A Deep Meaning of Friendship
In
the ancient time, lived a young man named Galoran. He was respected
because of his wealth and honor. His parents were nobleman so he
could live with luxury. However, he was very wasteful and every day
just squandered the wealth of his parents.
One
day, his parents died, but he did not care and continued to spend
money as well as before. Because his life was so extravagant, all the
treasure that he had was running out and he became an unemployed
person. Many people sympathized with him and offered a job. But every
time he got the job, he just dallied and it made him always be fired.
Several months later, there was a wealthy widow who interested him.
He married the widow and of course, he was very happy to be living in
luxury again.
The
widow had a daughter who was very diligent and clever to weave. Her
name is Jambean, a beautiful girl and had been famous because of her
weaving. However, Galoran did not like the girl, because the girl
often scolded him because of his laziness. Finally, he threatened to
torture and kill Jambean. He revealed the plan to his wife and the
wife was very sad to hear of the threat.
Hearing
the news, Jambean was very sad but she volunteered herself to be
killed by her father. She told that she wanted to be dumped into a
dam and did not burry under the ground after the death. The mother
agreed and did all of her wants. In the dam, her body and head
suddenly turned into the golden slugs.
Several
years later, there are two widows who were looking for firewood. They
were kindred, the first widow named Mbok Sambega Rondo and the second
called Mbok Rondo Sembagil. When looking for the firewood in the
jungle, they were very surprised because of finding the beautiful
golden slugs. They brought it and maintained at home.
Once
they brought the snails, there was always a miracle every day. Their
kitchen was always filled with the delicious food when they came home
from work. They were very surprised, and wanted to know the person
who made those foods. They pretended to go to work and hid in the
back of the house. A few moments later, there was a beautiful girl
came from the inside of the conch and she began to cook the delicious
meals.
Both
widows then secretly held and did not let the girl to get into the
snail anymore. The girl apparently was Jambean who had been killed by
her father. Both widows then allowed her to stay with them. Because
of their versatility in weaving, she got her famous back and made a
handsome prince attracted. In the end, she married the prince and
lived happily.

The Golden Slug
In
the ancient time, lived a little family. The family consists of
father, mother, and a beautiful girl named Garlic. They are a
harmonious and happy family despite his father worked as an ordinary
merchant. One day, the happiness in this family was lost because the
mother died. Garlic was very sad because she was very fond of her
mother. Her father was also so sad because he loved his wife so much.
After
Garlic’s mother died, her house was visited frequently by a widow
who had a daughter named Onion. The widow often came with Onion to
the Garlic’s home by bringing food, helping to clean the house, and
chatting with Garlic’s father. Finally, the father thinks that he
should marry the widow and made the widow as a new mother for Garlic.
He
asked for consideration of the proposal to Garlic. After being
allowed to get married by Garlic, then her father immediately carried
out the marriage. They become a new family and lived in a house. At
first, the mother and Onions behaved Garlic very well. However, the
good behavior did not to be last long. Soon, the Onion and her mother
began to show their bad attitude. Garlic was often scolded and given
heavy works when the father went to trade. She had to do a lot of
housework while the Onions just sit and did not work at all. However,
the situation was never told by her to his father, so the Garlic
continued to be treated badly by Onions and her mother.
One
day, his father was sick and passed away. Since then, Garlic was
treated worse than before. Garlic almost never had a break every day.
In the morning, she had to get up in order to prepare breakfast and
the water for Onion and her mother. Later, she also gave eating to
the livestock, washing clothes, and even watering the entire garden.
Although she should do so many works, she always did it happily. She
hoped, with such sincerity, her mother would love her sincerely
someday.
On
the morning, Garlic went to the river to wash the clothes. She was so
excited and washed vigorously. Because of getting too excited, she
was not aware that there was a shirt that washed away. She realized
that the shirt had been washed away when the flow carried it far
enough. Later, she pursued but did not get the shirt. She felt
hopeless and immediately went home.
The
shirt was her mother’s favorite. Of course, the mother was angry
and told her to look for the shirt until she could found it. Garlic
came back to the river and walked to the west to seek her mother’s
favorite shirt. She walked along the river up to tens of kilometers.
After that, Garlic suddenly saw someone who was bathing the buffalo
in the river. She asked the man about the clothes were washed away.
Later, she was informed that the shirt drifting and it was not far
from where she was standing. At that moment, Garlic immediately ran
down the river to find the shirt.
It
was getting dark and the Garlic found a home. Because of completely
exhausted, she decided to take a break in the house. Apparently, it
housed an old lady who had previously found the shirt. The old lady
wanted to return the shirt to her, but she should accompany the old
lady during a week. She agreed to stay with the lady for a week.
Within a week, she made the old lady to be so happy because she was
diligent and never complained even though felt so tired.
After
accompanying for a week, she was given a pumpkin as the gift. When
opening it, she was very surprised because there were so much gold
and gems. She immediately went home and told the happening to her
mother and also Onion. However, the gold and jewels that she got
immediately seized and she was forced to tell where the jewelry could
be obtained. Garlic immediately said that she got it from an old lady
who lived near the river.
In
the next day, Onion came to that house and stayed for a week like
what Garlic did. However, because Onion was a lazy girl, the old lady
gave a different pumpkin from Garlic. Onion did not care and Onion
immediately went home to open the pumpkin with her mother.
Apparently, the content was not gems or gold, but the venomous snake
that bit of Onion and the mother. Both of them died because of their
greed.
After
the happening, Garlic was living alone, but she was more calm and
lived happily with its gold and gems.

Memorandum (Memo)
Definition : A memo (or memorandum, meaning “reminder”) is normally used for communicating policies, procedures, or related official business within an organization. It is often written from a one-to-all perspective (like mass communication), broadcasting a message to an audience, rather than a one-on-one, interpersonal communication. It may also be used to update a team on activities for a given project, or to inform a specific group within a company of an event, action, or observance.
Function : A memo’s purpose is often to inform, but it occasionally includes an element of persuasion or a call to action. All organizations have informal and formal communication networks. The unofficial, informal communication network within an organization is often called the grapevine, and it is often characterized by rumor, gossip, and innuendo. On the grapevine, one person may hear that someone else is going to be laid off and start passing the news around. Rumors change and transform as they are passed from person to person, and before you know it, the word is that they are shutting down your entire department.
Purpose : (Gerald J. Alred, Charles T. Brusaw, and Walter E. Oliu, Handbook of Technical Writing, 8th ed., Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2006): Memos are used within organizations to report results, instruct employees, announce policies, disseminate information, and delegate responsibilities. Whether sent on paper, as emails, or as attachments to emails, memos provide a record of decisions made and actions taken. They also can play a key role in the management of many organizations because managers use memos to inform and motivate employees.
How to Organize a Memo :
The following guidelines will help you structure a memo (Mitchell Ivers, Random House Guide to Good Writing. Ballantine, 1991):
- Use a clear subject line.
- State your purpose in the first paragraph.
- Summarize any potential objections.
- Keep the paragraphs short.
- Use subheads between paragraph groups.
- Use bulleted and numbered lists.
- Request action.
How to Make a Memo :
Many computer programs now provide a standard program for memo format, so all the design and headings are done for you. All you do is fill in what you want to say. If you do not have such a program, follow these steps:
- Begin the memo with headings such as To, From, Date, and Subject; such headings are frequently capitalized and in boldface type.
- In the first sentence of the memo, tell readers what your point is. Then briefly explain, giving reasons or details.
- Single-space the memo; if your message is long, divide it into short paragraphs, or include numbered or bulleted lists and headings to organize and draw attention to essential points.
- If you type the memo for someone else, make sure that person’s name appears on the From line, and type your own initials (in lowercase letters) below the last line of the text.
- At the bottom of the memo, type cc: followed by a name or names, to indicate additional recipients of the memo.
E-mail (electronic mail) is the exchange of computer-stored messages by telecommunication. (Some publications spell it email; we prefer the currently more established spelling of e-mail.) E-mail messages are usually encoded in ASCII text. However, you can also send non-text files, such as graphic images and sound files, as attachments sent in binary streams. E-mail was one of the first uses of the Internet and is still the most popular use. A large percentage of the total traffic over the Internet is e-mail. E-mail can also be exchanged between online service provider users and in networks other than the Internet, both public and private.
E-mail can be distributed to lists of people as well as to individuals. A shared distribution list can be managed by using an e-mail reflector. Some mailing lists allow you to subscribe by sending a request to the mailing list administrator. A mailing list that is administered automatically is called a list server.
E-mail is one of the protocols included with the Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite of protocols. A popular protocol for sending e-mail is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and a popular protocol for receiving it is POP3. Both Netscape and Microsoft include an e-mail utility with their Web browsers.

Memo and Email
Pernahkah kita membuka
suatu web, namun web tersebut error atau di blok ataupun web tersebut terlalu
lama dalam proses loading?. Hal ini pasti pernah kita dapati apa bila
menggunakan suatu operator jaringan internet yang cukup lamban dalam jaringan
maupun yang memblokir berbagai situ web dan yang lamban dalam proses loading
dan sebenarnya situs tersebut amat penting bagi kita untuk mengerjakan
tugas-tugas. Maka hal yang dapat kita lakukan adalah dengan cara Mengganti DNS.
Mengganti DNS disini bertujuan untuk memberikan kebebasan dalam berselancar di
dunia maya. Terdapat banyak DNS terbuka yang dapat kita gunakan, dan yang
paling banyak digunakan adalah Google DNS dan OpenDNS. Berikut adalah
langkah-langkah yang dapat kita gunakan untuk mengganti DNS.
1.
Klik lambang network yang ada pada kanan
bawah desktop pc/laptop kita, dan connect kan pada jaringan network yang kita
miliki. Atau dengan cara lain yaitu Klik
windows dan buka control panel dan
klik Network and Internet dan klik Network and Sharing Center dan klik Connect to a network dan masuk pada
jaringan internet yang kita miliki seperti pada gambar berikut.
2.
Kemudian apabila telah terkoneksi, maka
klik kanan pada koneksi internet kita dan klik status seperti pada gambar dibawah ini.
3. Setelah
klik status maka akan tampil seperti gambar berikut ini, kemudian pilih dan
klik Properties.
4.
Berikutnya pilih dan klik Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) seperti gambar berikut.
5.
Setelah itu kita akan masuk pada
tampilan seperti berikut.
6.
Pada Obtain DNS Server address Automatically diganti dengan mengklik
pada Use the following DNS Server
address. Pada kolom Preferred DNS
Server dan Alternate DNS Server
inilah kita dapat memasukan DNS pengganti yang akan kita gunakan. Dalam artikel
kali ini saya akan menggunakan salah satu dari DNS Terbuka contohnya seperti
berikut :
Google
DNS : Preferred
DNS Server = 8.8.8.8
Alternate
DNS Server = 8.8.4.4
OpenDNS : Preferred
DNS Server = 208.67.222.222
Alternate
DNS Server = 208.67.220.220
Kita dapat
menggunakan salah satu dari DNS yang ada di atas misalkan anda ingin
menggunakan Google DNS atau anda ingin menggunakan OpenDNS. Dan contohnya
seperti terdapat pada gambar berikut.
Google DNS.
OpenDNS.
7.
Bila sudah menggantinya dengan DNS yang
baru maka klik OK.
8. Buka browser yang kita miliki (misalkan
Firefox) dan buka situs yang sangat berat maupun situs yang sebenarnya bisa
namun di blokir.
9.
Selesai ^_^
Terdapat
beberapa keunggulan dari masing-masing DNS yang kita gunakan dibandingkan dengan
DNS default dari jaringan internet yang kita gunakan baik wireless maupun
wired, dimana keunggulannya jika kita menggunakan Google DNS bisa lebih cepat
dalam proses Loading suatu web site, dan sedikit lebih cepat dari DNS default
bila kita menggunakan OpenDNS, serta dapat membuka situs web yang terblok
maupun situs web yang lamban(seperti web yang servernya di luar negri). Namun
untuk masalah kecepatan jaringan semua itu kembali lagi kepada operator
jaringan internet yang kita gunakan, bisa jadi walaupun kita sudah menggunakan
DNS terbuka jaringan internet kita tetap lamban dalam membuka situs web yang
berat karena memang jaringan di sekitar kita kurang bagus.
Note :
Pada percobaan ini saya tidak benar-benar mengunakan jaringan yang terhubung langsung
ke internet, sehingga anda dapat melihat Notif : No Internet Access pada setiap screenshoot yang ada, namun cara
mengganti DNS ini lebih sering saya gunakan dari pada menggunakan DNS default
dari operator jaringan yang saya gunakan.
Selamat
berselancar bebas tanpa batas tapi jangan kebablasan \(^o^)/
Dan
ingat gunakan untuk hal yang baik \(^_~)
