Tour Budaya 2019

On March, Me and the whole 32020 went on an adventure to Bali. Although I've been to Bali a few times before and has pretty much seen all the sights I wasn't really that excited about Bali itself and more so about having to experience it with my friends. We arrived in Bali on the 17th after a few hours delay because of complications in the airline, (I mean we chose lion air what else did we expect??) anyway after we landed we had to make a couple of changes to the original itinerary because we didn't have enough time to visit Tanah lot because of the delay so instead we went to Krishna and then meet up with the other groups at Jimbaran. Jimbaran was nice right until we got soaked by mother nature's wrath (lol jk but it was pouring quite hard). After Jimbaran, we got to the hotel and rest for the night.

The next day the day I've been looking forward to because we get to experience the many watersports Bali had to offer, I decided to try the flying fish and snorkeling, it was fun. After lunch and cleaning up we head over to Pandawa beach by then I was feeling a bit tired so I didn't really explore the beach to its full potential. After that, we got to watch a show called Devdan. Not gonna lie it was corny as hell but still a pretty good show.

The next day was really fun because the sights that we went to, I haven't really been to before. We went to a temple called Tirta empul which is really beautiful. We also went to a traditional village which would've been very cool if it hadn't rained as much as it did. Later that night we had a gathering which is cool except for the fact that I wore the same shirt as my friend which made things a little awkward. but the night was still fun.




Okay, remember when I said that the second day was the day that I've been waiting for? well, that was a lie because the fourth day was ACTUALLY the day that I've been waiting for. But why is that day so special Raka? you might ask, well let me tell ya. It's because it was the day that I got to --- wait for it --- leave :). Okay, here's a bit of context before we move forward; When I told my parents that I was gonna go on this trip, they actually told me to extend my visitation in Bali and so i did, I ask my teacher's permission to stay in Bali for 2 more nights and they said yes. So on the fourth day, we went to Kuta and then back to Krishna for lunch. Here is where I said my goodbyes and head off on my own. I checked my hotel room, get a quick shower (cuz I be sweating like crazy) and then went to Seminyak for supper and a cute lil' stroll to do some window shopping. Because I know the next day was gonna be jam-packed I decided to go back to Kuta to buy some essentials.

The next day I was picked up from my hotel lobby bright and early to go to Nusa Lembongan a small island just off the coast of Bali. The main reason I wanna go there was that there's a Manta point there where supposedly a lot of manta rays come to hang out. A few years prior I got the chance to visit the Manta Point in Komodo Islands and that was one of the best experiences that I ever had. The Manta Point here was quite underwhelming, there's only one manta compared to dozens that I saw in Komodo Islands and the water was very-very rough. After snorkeling in the manta point, I went kayaking in the mangrove forest, After that, I went back to Bali and yet again, went to Kuta for dinner also some spontaneous shopping for which my bank account hasn't really recovered from lol (seriously, I might have a problem).



And on the final day, I hopped onto a plane bound for Bandung and finally said goodbye to (mostly) sunny Bali. Overall it was a nice experience like most travel experiences are and I learned a lot about Bali and its cultures and about Myself surprisingly. So thanks Bali, it has been real

Natural Phenomenon

Natural Phenomenon The phenomenon that I'll be discussing is about Evolution by natural selection, a quite controversial topic if I do say so myself. Although I probably couldn't change your belief (or lack thereof) about the theory of evolution, I can, however, address some myths and misconception about it. So let's start with the basics, the current definition of evolution is " The change in heritable characteristics of a certain biological population over successive generations" so what happens is random genetic mutation cause an individual organism to have unique features within their own species, and those features could help the chances for that individual's survival which help the chances to pass on that gene to their offspring. And that's basically it this mechanism has proven to work and has been working for billions of years. So now let's talk about the misconception you might have even though you believe in the existence of evolution. ...

TH Should ban pornography I agree with this decision but not for the reason you might think, I believe porn for underage viewers like students is a real problem not because sex is bad but because it gives off a really unrealistic view of sex for young boys. It divorces sex from emotions particularly those of kindness, respect, and love. It also degrades both parties through fantasy and immorality. But just banning porn isn't going to solve anything. When people eat badly we don't restrict them from eating at all, instead, we help them improve their diet. The same applies to here, we can't abolish porn and the sexual drive that feeds it. Instead what we need to do is better the sexual education given to our children. We need to abolish the stigma and shame around sex and instead accept it as part of our normal lives. Education is the only way we can truly know that our kids are safe. Kids need to understand that it is completely normal to want sex and to have sex but th...

Those Who has Inspired Me

Those Who has Inspired Me An inspiration for me at least comes from many different and diverse sources. Some are small, some are big. Some are pretty common and some most people don't even recognize. I'm gonna talk about one of my inspiration that has changed the way I think about courage and what it means to be someone living in a world of judgments, and that person is Brené Brown. First, a little bit of context. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work.] She has spent the past sixteen years studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of four #1 New York Times bestsellers – The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, and Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and The Courage to Stand Alone.
