I am a student of Gloria Christian School, one of famous Christian School in Surabaya, Indonesia. I was still Junior High; I am interesting about many things, especially in technology, music and languages. I’d like to introduce you the new era’s mobile-phone that had internet connection on it. It called Blackberry. I thought computer or anything that has a relation with internet like Blackberry, iPhone, and Computers were very useful for our generation. It could give much knowledge for everyone. We can search fast and without wasting time, because time is money. Internet gave two effects; that was the good effect also the vice versa. Chat and mad new friends would be so easy.
my iMac:]
Blackberry is a mobile-phone that designed for everyone. It was slim with multi function inside. It designed for every age, from the teenage, business until the old one. We have to accept the function and reject the negative effect. Example; we have a new friend but we didn’t know much about their family background. Do we know he/she is a good or bad person? I think we didn’t know. We should identify it by our self with search many information about their personality. That communication technology had invented in this era, the era where people need much things for communicating each other.
my Blackberry
I was happy because I had two of them, such as; Blackberry and computer/laptop. I had to attention and be careful about the negative effect of internet. Everyone had to select and know the bad and the good effect from the technology, so the conclusion is we have to choose the right way and left the negative effects.
I was sitting on an old dirty wood and prayed to God for a miracle. I didn’t have anything and especially my parents have been passed away 6 years ago. That incident has made my life very useless and I was alone now. It hurts me deeply and I wanted to revenge my parents’ death. The fact, my parents were killed by a man who was my dad ex-staff. He killed them in front of me. And from that time, I have a commitment that I will kill him as soon as I can. Time has passed, now I become a millioner as my wish to God, Thanks a lot Father. The time for me to full fill my commitment by chase and killed him by myself.
One night, while I was sleeping there was big wind shot my bedroom’s window. I shocked that I saw a ghost man who looks like my dad. Once he said to me that I didn’t have to full fill my commitment about revenge his death to his ex-staff, just be the good people. Finally he disappeared and I directly looked at my clock. I was 12 o’clock midnight. The next day, I met my dad’s ex-staff and I invited him to my new house. I have a short conversation with him and asked him about his job now; I saw from his face that he was lied to me. Not long afterwards, I gave a bottle of red wine to him, but actually it was a bottle of human’s blood. Then I called it “SHOW TIME”, I started lock all of the doors in my house and actually he didn’t know if I am the girl who the parents were killed by him. I explained it one by one to him. He shocked and his face suddenly became pale. I said to him, “Now, you should know my feeling, you have hurt me and my parents, pray for yourself. Bye-bye!” He was afraid of his safety while my guard would shoot him with the gun. Finally, he died and my revenge had been done.
Hello my friends and my ex homeroom teacher when I was in 7th grade and my English teacher, Ms.Ayi. Now, I would tell you about my Boss’ life. Firstly, I want to ask you a simple short question. Did you know the meaning of security or body guard? Security is used to protect people safely or anyone so everybody will feel very safe and convenient, right? That’s the function. Let me introduce my big Boss first and actually the Boss is my daddy. So, I hope I could be the little Boss. Hahaha, that’s only my dreams or BIG dreams actually. No matter, stay on focus in this article then, shall we? My dad was the owner of a security company; he supplied security service for many places in Indonesia. He started on this job in 2003, actually 7 years ago. And now, he has 900 securities personal and 46 staffs whom managed the schedule for each security and had a big deal to the client. Wauw! I asked to my boss “Dad, do you remember your entire securities name? If you remembered one by one, that was so amazing.” Hahahaha. But, I thought that was impossible, because I knew that my dad was an absent-minded person. Oh My GOD! If my dad read my blog, his ears would be four. There were two human ears and two devil ears. It means he really got angry to me. Hm, well, I don’t care and not concentrate on it because, blog was place to share our life experiences and it’s only joke, right? Just enjoy my life!
My family name is Soewondo. And of course my dad name is Peter Soewondo. I typed this article while I was practicing violin. Every day, I always practice violin. That’s my routinely and my hobbies too. And I am sorry for my readers, if I had many mistakes. Because you know right, it wasn’t so easy to type and practicing violin. Mix it up like a juice that we drink for our healthiness. The name of Peter is meant “Rocks”. He is a fussiness man, stubborn and strength. He always teaches me to do my homework specifically because sometime I do my homework carelessly. But he is a good daddy for me. First, my dad was born in Surabaya, exactly on 29th of September 1962. That year was the tiger year. He studied in Petrus during his Elementary school and he continued his high school in St.Louis. Wah, I wondered my dad’s mark. He has a good mark or vice versa? I heard that my dad was very lazy to wake up early, I didn’t shock. Because, today, he always wakes up anytime he wants to. Much people said that St. Louis is a good school until now but, it was difficult to get a good score. I think it is challenging me and make me want to know where my level will be in that school. Is it good or maybe worst? My dad chose Padjajaran University in Bandung for his bachelor. His major is in Economical. How difficult is it? I don’t have any idea about the Padjajaran University, because when I wrote this article I was still a teenager in 14th years and actually I am still junior high and my next stop is senior high.
Finally, it’s time for finding job. Yes, it is difficult but we must through it and hard work. First of all, my dad was working at BDNI Bank or means PT. Bank Dagang Nasional Indonesia for 3 years in 1990 until 1993. He was a branch manager. The next year, He moved to work at PT. United Overseas Bank Bali, but it wasn’t stay long and only for a year. Exactly in 1994 he had moved again, two years before I was born. Third, my dad moved to the other bank company again and it’s Standard Chartered Bank for 4 years until the year 1998. At that time, I was still toddle 2 years old. My dad had got many experiences in his life during his job in those 3 banks. Maybe, my dad was getting bored with his job. So, she moved to a foreign security services company named Securicor, but now it name G4S. As before, my dad was a branch manager during the year 1998 until 2003. From those jobs, I thought my Boss was most like this Security services job. And he chose to build on his own company and also in the major Security Services. My dad’s company is called “PT.Jagaraga Adika”.
WATAK WAWASAN WASPADA
JAGARAGA's banner
My dad is the owner and the director of this company. He was bald, hahahaha. He has done that to give his securities example. My mom, Susan Gondo is the commissioner of this company. And who am I? Nothing for me? I hope, I could continue my dad’s work. He had 3 branches right now, such as; Surabaya, Jakarta and Bali. My Boss recruits the security that had past the high school minimally. Every potential security always trained mostly a week. And why I could say “No magic” because, only in 3 weeks, my Dad could make the thin security became a six pack security. Every security has a minimum height and weight. They should have a good physic and body posture. My dad was a very discipline boss. And he also always discipline to me. Maybe he thought I am also the trainee or even I am like a security not his daughter. Yeah, it’s okay. It might be the effect of his job. I have to understand my dad position. Hopefully, until this time, he had around 41 client companies. Those clients were the United States Consulate, some big company, schools and even Adi Husada Hospital. Those companies were HEINZ, BENTOEL, WINGS, SADANA, BJTI, PJB, Oil Tank Merak Jakarta, HONDA Surabaya Center, MATAHARI Surabaya Plaza, etc. All branches of Petra school are handled by my Dad’s security services, also my ex school for my elementary Saint Clara also used my Dad’s. Hm, I wish Gloria will also use my Dad’s security services. You will feel fine, save and secure. I think my boss’ security service is quite more expensive than the others because our quality is guaranteed. Much other security service was cheap, but they only find their profit, they were very different to my Dad’s quality target.

The security learns martial arts or self-defense, protecting people and companies. Many accident during made the good company, such as; abduction goods, hijacking and also kidnapping. But, perfectly, my Boss Peter Soewondo could range and take in one’s strides. My dad’s built this company with 3 keys means “Character Insights Alert” In Indonesian means “Watak Wawasan Waspada”. Even next 2 years, my dad will celebrate his 50th birthday; he is still healthy inside and fresh outside. Hahaha, Amen. Peter always gives an extra fitness and even foods & drinks have to be nitrous, example; milk and eggs during the training. Every 2 weeks my dad had track record training in Singapore. He had collaboration with Edit Cowan University Australia in Security Risk Management and Physical Security 2007. 900 securities weren’t all men there were also some women too about 33 securities. Even they were few, they always make the best for our company. Jagaraga Adika sometimes won competition and always brought out the first rank champion. Every security helps each other and care about the other else. My dad had also a relationship with police, if there was a thief, my dad’s coordinator will send them to the jail and judge them. Last month, on 8th of September 2010, Jawa Pos newspaper team was inspiring with my dad job. They invited my dad to fill in their page with my dad’s profile during his job. You can also click on this website for the complete information:
Next November, Jagaraga Adika securities will secure the Tennis Tournament in Bali. The tournament was sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank and Wismilak Cigarettes. Every year, this tournament always had been Jagaraga Adika’s client. That’s all about my BIG Boss and I am so proud of my Boss and my Dad. My family background is in music and not in security service. But, my dad could do the different things. He is a good daddy for me and thanks to my Creator God for giving me such a loveable dad. I love my dad and mom. I hope, you also have too friends! Victory will give by God to the people who work hard not for the lazy one #amabelsoeowondo.

Hahahaha. Ms. Maya, our English teacher asked the whole 9 graders to choose one popular song and we have to know who the singer is. And we had to change the lyrics by our own self. It quiet difficult for me. My group decided to choose the song title is “Shape of My Heart”. Do you know the Backstreet Boys?

Now, he is still learning to play Canon Rock perfectly for a gift to someone special for him. Who is she? It’s a secret. You have to ask him yourself. Hahahaha. Greg had been became my classmate for 3 years, since I was in 7 grades until now. Waow! I think he is a nice boy and not too naughty among others. He could help me to calm down the group.
my aunt is super woman, TanteStella
Third, a girl who had long brunette hair and got super power called Stella Candra. She had born on 26th January 1996. Even she has a slim body, she acts like a boxer. But, she is one of my best friends called DESIR’E’S. Her nickname is Tante or TanOei. Hahahaha, that’s only a joke not real. She is a creative girl and very diligent. Surprisingly, she is the master of Javanese Subject. Wauw! I call her “TanOeiJava”.

After, finished all of our assignments around 5 until 6 hours, we have some spare time and relaxing while my friend were waiting for their parents to pick them up at my house. My house is behind the Galaxy Mall, so my friend Yansen decided to o to the mall by walking. He said if, his house is closed to GM, he will go to GM every day.
We fill our time with playing TOD, “True or Dare”. We have to guess a country or brand things which’s begins with the Alphabets, example H, so we have to guess by mentioning: Holland for the country or Hermes for the brand things. And we have to guess it quickly before the others answer the same things. The last person who could not answer, they got a punishment. They might choose T or D. If they choose T, we are the winners could asked everything that what we want to know it about them. And they have to answer the truth. And if the loser, choose D. So, we could ask him or her to act as what we want to. Every person of my group chooses Dare. I took a picture of them and I asked them to act as what I want, Hihihi. It was great time and best moment in my life! I would never forget this. Last Wednesday, was the day my group presents the power point presentation and great! Mr. Robin said that he liked my group presentation because we could present the information very well and could explain the specific point of Venus. Thank you Mr. Robin, I hope my group could get the best score for the physics exam and thanks for my group who have cooperated each other. We are the best team, because of our hard work. And last, I suggest you to play this game” TOD”. It is really a fun game. Good luck and have a good day, friends. Thank you for your spare time in reading my blog, I hope that you enjoy this.
We had known that the China had got the first biggest population in the whole world. It’s about 19 million people with the highest structure the CCTV tower. I loved Chinese food, especially roasted duck. Beijing GaoYa, was the fame food of china. In Beijing, duck is the king. This dish, which is not easily reproduced outside of the city i think, let alone outside of China, is a study sophisticated cooking techniques. I ate in fine-dine restaurant named DaDong Resto Duck. It was very expensive but delicious! Yummy! If you come to Beijing, I recommend for you all to eat in this restaurant. The roast duck was set; there were sauce, condiment, pancakes, duck's skin and the meat. What the results is a beautifully crispy, chestnut-hued bird, whose crisp skin is carefully carved table side and eaten in thin crepes, with plum sauce, leeks and cucumber.
The most famous tourist whom ever came to china was Marco Polo and I think he came around 1275 years. The Chinese believed the Feng Shui or Believed in what had been happened in this earth. The symbolism of the balance between Yin and Yang. Every step there was the relation of Yin and Yang. In Chinese, we believed that proverb. Last holidays, on the 4th until 18th of September, i spent my school holidays to go to the country where my ancestor was born. Peking man was one of the earlier human ancestors. It is called China; I thought most people knew this country. China had such a wonderful view and i took picture of those place where I been. I went with my parents, my grandparents from my mom and my grandmother from my dad too. But, I dislike the Chinese people, it caused they thought that my family and I were the Chinese origin. But, I did not understand what they were speaking. I wasn't born in China. But, I am a Chinese person who was born in Indonesia. Much of them couldn't speak English very well. Even though, we known that English was the international language, right? Hahahaha. No matter. I stayed in luxurious hotel and in the city center of Beijing. It very closed to anywhere in downtown. Do you know Kublai Khan? He was the second emperor of the Yuan Dynasty whom chose Beijing as his capital.
Long time ago, the king of the emperor said that China was located in the center of the earth. And now, I wanted to introduce you the life and legend of the Emperor of China. I called it “CQAS”. Chinese Question Answer Session. i had 3 session, each had 3 question. The first:
1. did you know 3 of the most popular Dynasty who rein China?
2. How many did you know in china?
3. There were 5 elements in China, please check it out and which one is yours?
If you didn't know, I will tell you at the end of this story. Be patient. But, if you know, just kept secret and don't tell to the other people if you knew. Okay? Good job! Now, let's began this very long story.
Highlightsof the Great Wall!
First I wanted to share my information or my knowledge of the historical that I got from my tour guide in China. Beijing, the capital city of China and the ancient place where the much historical sites are located. Beijing is the center of the political and cultural life of the country. An old city full of vigor. I went to much historical places in this big city. Let me tell you one by one. There were the one of the 7 wonders of the world. The Great Wall was the most popular. And it was match with the Ancient Category, because it had been built since two thousand years ago and us known as the greatest man-made structure on earth. It was extraordinary landmark and I was very glad to come back to this tourist man-made destination. There is the best-known section of the Great Wall namely ' Badaling '. I went there and took a look for about 2 hours. But, I have to ride the cable-car to reach the top of Great Wall. It was steep but the best location for taking photograph. Great Wall is located in Yanqing Country, northwest of Beijing and it is of strategic importance in ancient China. Great Wall was built by the Qin Dynasty. This great wall was very long, I thought 7 times much bigger than Surabaya - Jakarta. This great wall had 3 conclusion main functions. The first, for the emperor to protect from their enemies from the south, the Mongolian. The second, for the military guide way. The last, for the modern people the tourist sightseeing. You should visit this! You wouldn't be disappointed, I guaranteed.
Next, I went to the Forbidden City and also known as the Imperial Palace Museum. It was commissioned by the third Emperor if the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yong Le. He is the one who also reconstructed the Great wall. I thought he is very great! The one of the emperor who could do many things at that time. The palace was built for 14 years long by a million laborers. But was burnt down, so it renovated and rebuilt. Long time ago, the Forbidden City was the seat of Imperial power for 500 years, but now I thought this palace is a major attraction. Hey! This palace had 9,999 rooms, but i couldn't visit one by one. My leg would be broken if I visited it one by one. And why there were lots of rooms? Do you know what the function is? My tour-guide said that it used for the concubine's room. Home of emperors, guards, servants, concubines and eunuch, and civil servants in 1925 I think. The emperor had much concubine, hundreds I think. Wooo! He is a play boy. Hahahaha. Maybe, he would visit his concubine for a time only, because how come he will remember his all concubine? This Imperial Palace had 4 entrance gates. I went inside from the north gate ' Divine Prowess ' and go out from the South ' Merdian Gate'. The first great communist leader was Mao Ze Dong. He was a peasant long time ago, he dislike the wealthy people. So every rich people would be punished. He died in the year 1976. But, Chinese people still honored him until this time. His picture was hanged on the Forbidden City wall. It was in front of the Dian An Men street. Every Chinese’s money always symbolize with the picture of The Great Leader. If I’m correct, the whole area is maybe 724.250 square meters. I was very sweaty and exhausted at that time, because it was very huge palace and unfriendly weather. It was so hot. And it was so crowded, full of people went to this place, even the Chinese origin people also visited this palace. Emmh, but why they also visited? i thought it won't too crowded, because the visitor would be from American or the other countries, right? But, it was splendored palace I think. 2 thumbs up!
Peter, Susan and Bella .
Third, I went to the Temple of Heaven. The Hall of Prayer of Good Harvests is the most magnificent centerpiece of the Temple of Heaven complex, the roof is constructed without any nails. wauw! I was shocked, how come? This was the site of the emperor's most important annual rituals. David, my tour-guide said that every twice a year, emperor performed sacrificial rites to ensure harmony between heaven and earth and guarantee his people fruitful harvests and prosperity. . The magnificent temple and park where emperors offered sacrifices. There was much section in that place to the Gods. Every part of this utterly unique complex of halls is there for a reason. The temple is the ultimate expression of Ming dynasty architecture. It was where china's emperor came to pray for divine guidance and good harvests and to atone for the sins of the people. Ancient Chinese belief that heaven is round and earth is square, that's why the temple are round and their bases square. The yellow color was symbolism for the emperor family. And only the emperor family whom could use the yellow color and it wear clothes bearing a dragon symbol. This temple was surrounded by many trees which grown long time ago. This holy temple place was 3 times bigger than the Forbidden City. Emperor built this holy temple with thousands of human resources. It made lots of people died. This temple was the world's largest complex for worship heaven. Every stairs and columns here are arranged in groups or multiples of nine which was considered a heavenly numbers. My dad also believed in these 9 numbers. Successive emperors traveled here to pray for good harvests. I saw the parks turns into a vast stage for taichi, it was good for health. And I also saw huge pillars in the hall. My tour-guide said that it was represented the four seasons, twelve months and twelve traditional Chinese hours respectively.
Fourth, after lunch time, my tour-guide named David brought me to the picturesque royal gardens called Summer Palace. Originally named the Garden of Clear Ripples. I had to ride boat to arrive until the palace. Wauw! It was good view. This was the place, where the emperor spent their holidays. The lake was natural, but the emperor made it wider into 2 times. In this lake, namely Kunming Lake, we could get the fresh water oyster. Inside the oyster, we could get pearl. 1 oyster could produce from 15 up to 30 pearls. It cheaper than the sea's pearl. I was so proud that the emperor had good taste of place. Recognized into an awesome place. I ride the dragon ferry.
Fifth, did you know the large-size royal burial ground? It called Ming Tombs. Inside this place there were the coffin of the emperor and his 2 empresses. I’m not too interested in this place. But, I had to know this, to get more knowledge for my future. I prefer history than science. Do you think that weird? Hahahah. I didn't have good reason for it. Though this palace built by human, the summer palace is a spectacle of nature. We knew long time ago, that silk was from the pupa and also from the sheep. But, pupa was much better than sheep, because the sheep silk could make people allergic. And pupa couldn't broken and cut off. It was very stretch and light. China also had jade store. Now, I could know and compare which one was the original and imitations one.
Beijing Zoo Panda
I loved panda so much! I went to the Beijing Zoo. There were many animals in there, but the special one was Panda. It was so cute. In March 1869, the giant panda was first discovered scientifically by Amand Pere David, a French naturalist and Catholic priest by his accidental encounter with a fur of the “black and white bear" or the " bamboo bear". Black and white was the only colors that Panda had. And it loved eating bamboo. Panda was the origin animal of China. Panda population growth which increase every year. And it was endangered species. And it would be extinct. Huh, I wanted a big panda in my house! Hahahaha. I bought bag. It was awesome; there was the panda's head on the bag. China was suddenly become more famous because of the Olympic was held in this country in the year 2008. Woow amazing!
That's my entire trip in Beijing. The fabulous history intricate, laden with life-changing inventions and elevated by engineering ardor. Next stop I will tell you my trip to Xi An. There were the Terracotta Warriors, the big Wild goose Pagoda. I will tell you bed time story next in the 2nd section. Okay? So, you won't be bored with my long story. That's all my information that I still could remember. If their some information were wrong, I am sorry. Enjoy! And wait for my second story.
