Amazing place to visit–– Salar de Uyuni

Salar de Uyuni (or Salar de Tunupa) is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi). It is located in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft) above mean sea level.[2]



The Salar was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes. It is covered by a few meters of salt crust, which has an extraordinary flatness with the average altitude variations within one meter over the entire area of the Salar. The crust serves as a source of salt and covers a pool of brine, which is exceptionally rich in lithium. It contains 50 to 70% of the world's lithium reserves,[3] which is in the process of being extracted. The large area, clear skies, and the exceptional flatness of the surface make the Salar an ideal object for calibrating the altimeters of Earth observation satellites.
The Salar serves as the major transport route (seen in an episode of Ice Road Truckers) across the Bolivian Altiplano and is a major breeding ground for several species of flamingos. Salar de Uyuni is also a climatological transitional zone since the towering tropicalcumulus congestus and cumulonimbus incus clouds that form in the eastern part of the salt flat during the summer cannot permeate beyond its drier western edges, near the Chilean border and the Atacama Desert.

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

LYRICS

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am


MY OPINION

So, here's one of my fav songs, Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. I think this song is sooooo good and catchy, the lyrics are amazing and beautiful (kind of poetic). Its not only catchy, but its also very meaningful. Its perfect for persons who are in love. This song used to be popular back in the 90’s (i wasn’t even born yet).

THE MEANING

The first verse is just so simple yet beautiful. It just about almost sums up the feeling of love (a feeling that can never be described perfectly but these words come pretty close) Where when you're with that one person and nothing else matters just because it feels so perfect and you cherish every moment you spend with them because you know that it'll be over too soon and when it is you're gonna miss them so much you will ache for them until the next time you lay eyes on them.

The rest of the song is about how fragile love is and how there is almost always a feeling of fear lingering in the back of your mind as you feel that it is all too good to be true and to last and you cannot confess your fears to anyone as you think the love you feel could not be experienced by anyone else. 

It is also trying to find a way of expressing how true your love is as it feels words do not do it justice and wanting to let that special person know exactly who you are.

MY HOLIDAY

ITS HOLI-YAAAAY!!!!!!

Holiday, who doesn’t love Holiday?
Even the president love Holiday.

“Holiday season is a perfect time to reflect our blessings and seek out ways to make life better.” Have you heard about that? I couldn’t be more agree.

After some rough weeks in school, finally its holiday. So, I will tell you about my holiday. Actually, its kinda boring cause this time I didn’t go out of  Bandung, but, I still enjoy it cause there’s no school and I can do so many things that I can’t do when its school-time. First, im going to tell you why I didn’t go out of the city. My father’s job won’t let our family have a family time. And second, I will tell you a lil bit about my activities during holi-yay.

I had sleepover on my bestfriend’s home with my other besties. We had a really good time together since we haven’t meet each other in several weeks, or months I think. We watched movies (the genre was romance-comedy and horror cause we all loves it), we ordered a pizza, we shared our stories about our own school and laughing all the time (seriously like all the time). We do not just stay in her home, we also went to the mall, book store, and some café.

I only stayed 2 days in her home. The rest of my holiday I spent with my family, except my dad, we just hanging around the mall and went to the restaurants or clothing store we have never visited. But as you can see, Traffics everywhere. It took like 2 hours from dago to pvj.


And what makes me happy during this holiday is that I can being lazy all day and sleep really well without thinking about the tasks at all.

So, that's a lil bit about my activities during holiday. Although it just 3 weeks, but i still appreciate it. See you on my next post.

Education to Build a Better Future

Why are education is so important?

Everything starts from the basic, and if you want to be a great person, a leader, or anything else, you must have the basic, and yes, its called Education. Education is a promise to have a better future. If you don’t have education, I don’t know what you will be in the future. Maybe, there’s a miracle and bam! You’ll be the president. But, like I said before, you MUST have the basic. Without the basic, you can’t go to anywhere, you can’t go to the top of something.

Education means learning and teaching skills. It’s the key to success. Success can be achieved when you have knowledge, skills, and attitude. Where do we can find education? That’s a place called School, you can find it there.
I know, sometimes we don’t want to go to school because we are tired, tired of the tasks, homeworks, friends, or subjects, we are tired of getting ready in the morning. But, don’t ever hate your own school, it’s a place to learn and grow. You don’t want to have a brighter future? Fine, don’t go to school. Simple right?

We need education for our own life, its not for someone, but its for ourselves. its important for all of us to be smarter. Education is the only thing that helps us to make sure what is wrong and what is right. Without education, we can’t do what we want and we can’t reach our purpose.

Education is not about the score you got in school, it’s more than that.  We need education to survive today’s society. As you can see, Education in my or our generation is not quite good. Like, when I watch TV and see the news, you know what I see? So many of young girls got raped, People who don’t have money forced to steal money or jewelry and many more. And the fact is people who did that is someone who don’t have Education.

Education help us to explore our own thoughts, ideas and mind and make it able to express it in every forms. When we gain education, we get to know about things in this whole world. If we have the right education, we can be a useful human being to our society, to the world. Education opens our mind to many things.

In my country, Indonesia, Education is like a MUST. We must to study in school for like 9 years. But, as you all see, Education in here is a little bad. Not ‘bad’ in that way, but so many of us here in Indonesia didn’t have a good Education. Most of kids, teenagers, even old people don’t have a chance to go to school because they don’t have money. It’s so sad to see person who is my age forced to work, while me and my friends study in Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 3 Bandung or 3 Senior High School. We are all deserve to have Education.

But I think, there’s something more important than Education. It’s your attitude and Character. Yes, Education is beyond important, but if you don’t have a good attitude and character, it’s useless. “Knowledge is power, but Character is more” this is my school motto, that’s what my school taught to all of their students. Surprisingly, so many of governments or someone who clever or genius or someone who is important proved the fact that if we have Education without a good Character, it will not ending good.

So for me, Education is like a media to share our ideas with different people from another school, city, province, and country. Education means a lot to me, because if I didn’t have that, I don’t know what will happen to me. That’s all from me. Thank you.
