                                                   The  Leaning Tower of Pisa  ( Italian :  Torre pendente di Pisa ) or simply the  Tower of Pisa   is a  freestanding bell tower, of the  cathedra l  of the Italian c ity of  Pisa , known worldwide for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an unstable  foundation . The tower is situated behind the  Pisa Cathedral   and is the third-oldest structure in the city's Cathedral Square ( Piazza del Duomo ), after the cathedral and the  Pisa Baptistry . The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183.27 feet) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 metres (185.93 feet) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0.06 in). Its weight is estimated at 14,500  metric tons  The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's wei

Humans and Their Feelings

   Humans are complicated beings. In harsh words, animals with feelings. We think rationally, but when we put in a little bit of feeling. It will get messy. In conclusion, everything involving feelings will always be much more complicated. It’ll be easier to turn off emotion and just become essentially a robot. Slave to this corrupted country. However, we can’t always get what we want, if that’s the case then life would be way simpler. Life is a whirlwind of ups and downs, of crazy ideas while trying not die, although we all gonna die one day. That’s dark, apologize.  In the downs or your lowest lows, feelings become an oxygen, you trying to put all of them to fit in your lungs but it didn’t work, they’ll burst and blow open your lungs.Hypothetically. Also, realistically, the bursting part is when you had a ‘meltdown’ or a ‘mental breakdown’. Have you ever feel that? Trust me, you don’t want to feel that. Feeling helpless and just worthless while also overthinking and or overana

Techno Fest x Business Day 2019

                                                               テク㇀口ジー   So on 21st of September, OSIS held an event called Techno Fest x Business Day. For the Techno Fest part, as you can read from the name itself, it was a technology-based event. There was an e-sport competition for PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends, and PES. For the Business Day part, all of grade 10 including myself, were selling foods, drink, etc.  Not just that there's also a talk show with Kang Ean as the speaker. He's an alumni of SMAN 3 and currently studying Business Management in ITB. He's very inspirational because when he was in grade 11 he already made a business, albeit a small one. It was called Sweepballs, a twist on Bandung's classic food 'bola ubi'. Then, when he was on 12th grade he made Sweetcubes and now making notebooks with great cover designs named Booku.   After the talk show ended, grade 10 started selling their products. Also the e-sport competitions started as well. I

A Creative And Innovative Language Learner

    It's easy to become a creative and innovative language learner. You can start learning a language by trying to learn their culture, movie,songs,books or else. Don't forget about games, like video games or mobile games because it's a fun, easy, and cheap way to learn English or other languages. I personally learn English by listening to Western music from radio or music app,reading books,in English of course and playing video games. Started from the bottom and now I'm here.         With technology and internet, learning new languages become so much easier. There's a lot of websites or apps that can help you to start learning new languages for free! I use it too.Then, when you know the basic or more of a language,you can start making conversation with someone that is a lot better in that language. By using it daily you will be more familiar with that language and of course be better in speaking. Even though you are good in speaking don't forget about th

         Festival Budaya is an event held once every 2 years by my school, SMAN 3 Bandung. This year the name of the Festival of Culture is Marvanata. This event was on 7 September 2019 in Pussenif. This was the first time the Festival of Culture took place in Pussenif. It was amazing and so awesome, seriously I'm speechless. Marvanata logo (Dewi Sri)                   I'm actually one of the committee for the Visual Documentation division. There's 30 of us including the 12th and 11th graders. For grade 10, there's 11 of us;me,Dennis, Fina, Alya, Ajeng, Bobby, Shafa, Yesa, Salwa, Ica, and Khaza. We had to make a countdown video for snapgram, it was tiring but very fun. We learnt how to make a video quickly but with good quality and attract the audiences to watch the snapgram.           Even though we only became a committee around 1 month before Marvanata, the seniors already treat us like a family. The head of visual documentation division was Kang Adli, we call

Biography (English Task)

                                                            Agatha Christie                          Agatha Christie's quote   Agatha Christie was an English writer. She is widely known for her detective novels. Particularly novels about Hercule Poirot and Miss Maple. She was born on September 15 (same as me), 1890 and died on January 12, 1976. Guinness World Record lists her as the best-selling novelist of all time, around 2 billions copies sold.    During the First World War, she served in a Devon Hospital, and during the Second World War, she worked as an assistant pharmacy. She was initially an unsuccessful writer, receiving six consecutive rejections. This changed when The Mysterious Affair at Styles featuring Hercule Poirot, was published in 1920. Hercule Poirot was  a former Belgian police officer noted for his twirly large "magnificent moustaches" and egg-shaped head. Poirot had taken refuge in Britain after Germany invaded Belgium.
