A letter to your younger self & your 10-years-letter self

    

Dear my younger self,

Fitri, you are now in college you do not have to idle again in terms of learning just like you were in high school. Maybe this time you feel proud of what you have achieved today but it's only temporary if you keep walkin. Remember, your goal here is not for the lazy or just a college course. You must be able to pass so scholars fastest three and a half year or no later than four years. You should be able to achieve success and the success that will make your parents proud of you.Remember, life is full of obstacles Fitri if you're lazy you will not be able to achieve success and you have the spirit in the face of obstacles that by believing in yourself you have to survive on a lot of things and you will survive apupun upcoming "Fitri"

Dear my 10-years-latter self,

Hi.Fitri, now you're 29 years old. Maybe this time you've become a great woman and met your soul mate. Maybe your current mate is a wonderful man who always take care of you and love you and your family as well as you.

Fitri. Remember, even though you've become a great woman and has a child. Remember, while you are busy working, you should still have time for your child and family, never overload your mother to keep the child because the mother was the one who has been keeping you in her womb until you were born and keep you as a child.

Remember. Fitri, even if you own property or be a great woman, not once in a while you forget about your parents because they are the one you can be a great person. So you have to keep your parents, do not ever let them feel alone in this world, for the one they feel or enjoy his days happily.

Motivation for me

I am strong, not because I do not feel weak, but because I chose myself every time I do it. I will not let the behavior of others affect the peace of my heart and I do not regret myself because I believe that my biggest competition is myself and I will continuously improve my life and learn new things and gain experience while I'm gone.

My karaoke song of choice

         My karaoke song of choice is "samjhawan" because this song tells about the feelings of a lover who could not explain to her boyfriend that she can not live without."Samjhawan" is a romantic song from the 2014 Bollywood film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. Re-created by Sharib Toshi, the song is sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, with lyrics by Ahmad Anees and Kumaar.The song was originally composed by Jawad Ahmad.An "unplugged" version of this song sung by the leading lady of the film, Alia Bhatt, was released on 2 July 2014.

       The song received a mixed response from critics and was highly compared with the original song. Surabhi Redkar of Koimoi commented, "While this Arijit Singh track will blow your mind away, the original song "Main Tenu Samjhawan" by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is unforgettable and leaves you with the question, why revise such a beautiful number. With the vocals of Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, the sanctity of the song is not lost, yet all those who enjoy classics will agree the original track sounds better."Rajiv Vijayakar of Bollywood Hungama remarked, ""Samjhawan" is the true killer on the score a soulful expression of a besotted lover, with lyrics that strike straight at the heart and a deep melody exquisitely rendered by Arijit Singh arguably the finest singing discovery of the times and Shreya Ghoshal, the last great singer to come into cinema as of today.Devesh Sharma of Filmfare wrote, "Instead of Rahat and Farah Anwar, the singers here are Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. Their mellifluous voices give a hatke twist to the original. The song is sure to get like a million downloads in days to come.Sheetal Tiwari of Bollyspice commented, "While they Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal both do a good job rendering the number, Rahat is sorely missed.Srishti Dixit of Bollywoodlife.com stated, "This soulful track by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal touches the listeners' hearts but not quite like how Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's original version did. The words are the same, the melody is intact but this time even Arijit Singh fails to create magic.Rafat of Glamsham remarked, "Super singer, Arijit Singh has been chosen to do a Rahat but he simply fails to create the same magic. Even 'surili' Shreya's presence does not lift the song to that level.

COMMENT

Bill Problems

That index includes the unedifying spectacle of Bill Clinton’s impeachment, which grew out of his affair with Monica Lewinsky and a sexual-harassment civil suit brought by an Arkansas state employee named Paula Jones. There are also serious allegations against Trump c the treatment of women. His first response, when challenged on them, is to cite Bill’s history, calling him an “abuser” and Hillary an “enabler”—indictment by psychobabble. At least one allegation goes beyond infidelity. On May 18th, Sean Hannity interviewed Trump on Fox News and was reciting a litany of old complaints about Clinton when Trump interrupted to say, “And rape.” This was a reference to Juanita Broaddrick, who said in an interview with NBC’s Lisa Myers in 1999—and again on Twitter this year—that “rape” is the proper word for an encounter she had with Clinton in 1978, when she was a nursing-home administrator. Some of her friends say she described it that way at the time. Clinton’s lawyer has strongly denied it on his behalf, and after all these years it is unadjudicatable. Nick Merrill, a Clinton-campaign press secretary, called Trump’s remark an attempt to distract voters and to drag America “through the mud.” He added, “If that’s the kind of c he wants to run that’s his choice.” Unfortunately, that is the campaign that Trump wants to run.

This lake is the largest lake in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. In addition to the lake is famous for the beauty of its so until today many tourists who visit to Lake Toba and Samosir Island flights.

To reach the island of Samosir visitors can memalui mainland in Lake Toba, there are accommodations available in the city Parapat. Parapat is a small town a rocky peninsula jutting into the lake. On the way to Parapat from the hill town of Berastagi visitors will get some great views of the lake as it is starting to look and the way down the mountain closer to the shoreline. In Parapat live the Batak Toba and Batak Simalungun known as a happy and relaxed, well-known songs and sentimental their lives. Although the majority have embraced Christianity, ancient beliefs and traditions still survive. Visitors can decide which option is more convenient to enjoy excursion on Lake Toba and Samosir island, by staying in the big island of Samosir in the middle of the lake. Here visitors can see the original home of the Batak Toba. The island has many traces of the past of which there are stone tombs and traditional villages, such as at Ambarita which has a courtyard with stone furniture where in the old days convicts were tried and beheaded. Or visit Simanindo where visitors will enjoy music and traditional Batak ritual dances. This is where the visitors will be taken to discover the unique culture and ancient Toba. In Tomok visitors can find mementos and Batak handicrafts, buying a typical hand-woven red and black scarf called Ulos that is still in use today, Batak calendar on rattan, woodcarvings and others. Pulau Samosir is accessible by regular ferry from Parapat. In addition to the ferry available boats passing around the island on a regular basis. And if you want to better understand Batak culture visit Museum of Batak in Balige, further south on the mainland side of the beach there are many hotels and smaller accommodations around the lake, especially at Parapat and Tuktuk on the island

Besides Lake Toba I also have traveled favorite place is the soda water bath

Soda water baths are only two in the world, namely Tarutung and vanezuela. Soda water baths that no area Parbubu soda baths Tarutung is the only one in Indonesia, this soda water bath water color is red, hence the name Soda Water bath Tarutung in Batak Toba "Aek Rara Tarutung" Aek is water and Rara is red. When we shower in the sparkling water, the body will be foamy, water does not stick in the body, such as fizzy drinks and sparkling water can make our body feels smooth and light.

Two smartphone application that i like

Smartphone application that I like is fecebook and music

1. Fecebook
 

    Facebook is a social networking service launched in February 2004, and is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, United States. In September 2012, Facebook has more than one billion active users, more than half of them using a mobile phone. Users must register before you can use this site. After that, users can create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users can join a group of users with the same interests, sorted by workplace, school or college, or other characteristic, and categorize their friends into lists such as "Partners" or "Close Friends".   
   So, the reason I like application fecebook is the first easy to use, can share information to many people at once, it could be a lot of new info with ease, can spy on others is easy for example spying on someone we like, spying on our former already has a boyfriend or not, or spying on our girlfriend cheating or not, then fecebook also be easier for us to communicate with the family despite our location and the family apart and fecebook also allows us to see "the Past" for example through Facebook, we can reconnect with friends from elementary, junior high, high school or lecture. In fact we could PDKT with high school friends who had long we seek and yet we managed to get up now. hihihi

2. Musik

    

   Music  is organized sound such that it contains rhythm, song, and especially the harmony of sounds derived from tools that can generate rhythm, Although music is the phenomenon  a kind of intuition, to create, improve and dedicate it is an art form. Hearing music is a kind of entertainment. Music is a very unique phenomenon that can be produced by several musical instruments.

  So, why do I like the music application. because listening to music is an entertainment, in addition to entertaining music can also increase the concentration of learning, improve self-esteem, reduce stress, support physical exercise, and facilitate a number of other activities related to health.

    Thank you.

SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT

   A.  Subject

        Subject is the person/people/thing(s) that do the activity.

        I, you, they, we, she, he, it.

 B.   Verb

       Verb is a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the        predicate of a sentence.

       Kind of verbs :

1. Action Verb.
   •  Also known as “Main Verb”.•   Action verbs are words that express action (give, eat, walk, etc.) or possession (have, own,        etc.).•   Action verbs can be either transitive (with object) or intransitive (without object).
   
             Example:    
      - Laurissa raises her hand. (kkt)     
          -Laurissa rises slowly from her seat. (kki)
2.       Linking Verbs
   

              A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that renames or   describes the subject.To Be: is, am, are, was, wereExample: - Lisa is in love with Jason.               
   Verb: seem, appear, become, grow, remain, get, prove, turn, look, sound, smell, taste, feel.Example: - She looks pale.
3.       Helping Verbs.   
      Helping verbs are used before action or linking verbs to convey additional information   regarding aspects of possibility (can, could, etc.) or time (was, did, has, etc.)MODALS always function as Helping Verbs.MODALS: can, could, may, might, shall, will, ought to, should, would.Example :
   - Tejo is (helping verb) going (main verb) to Florida.

Main Rule of Subject Verb Agreement 

1. Subjects and verbs must agree in number. This is the cornerstone rule that forms the background of the concept.
   Example :
   
   - The dog growls when it is angry.- The dogs growl when they are angry
2. Don’t get confused by the words that come between the subject and verb; they do not affect agreement.
   
          Examples: - The dog, who is chewing on my jeans, is usually very good.
3.       Prepositional phrases between the subject and verb usually do not affect agreement.
   

         Examples: -The colors of the rainbow are beautiful.
4.      When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be placed after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly.Example :
   - There is a problem with the balance sheet. Here are the papers you requested.
5.             If two subjects are joined by and, they typically require a plural verb form.
   

         Example :- The cow and the pig are jumping over the moon.
6.    The verb is singular if the two subjects separated by and refer to the same person or thing.Example: - Red beans and rice is my mom's favorite dish.
7.       If one of the words each, every, or no comes before the subject, the verb is singular.
   

         Example: - No smoking or drinking is allowed.
8.      If the subjects are both singular and are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also the verb is singular.
   

         Example: - Jessca or Christian is to blame for the accident.
9.       The only time when the object of the preposition decides plural or singular verb forms is when noun and pronoun subjects like some, half, none, more, all, etc. are followed by a prepositional phrase. In these sentences, the object of the preposition determines the form of the verb.
   

         Examples :- All of the chicken is gone.- All of the chickens are gone.
10.       The singular verb form is usually used for units of measurement or time.Example:
    - Four quarts of oil was required to get the car running.
11.      If the subjects are both plural and are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, the verb is plural.Example: - Dogs and cats are both available at the pound.
12.      If one subject is singular and one plural and the words are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, you use the verb form of the subject that is nearest the verb.
    

           Example:- Either the bears or the lion has escaped from the zoo.-  Neither the lion nor the bears have escaped from the zoo.
13.      Indefinite pronouns (everything, anything, everyone, someone, somebody, nothing, etc) typically take singular verbs.
    

          Example: 
     - Everybody wants to be loved.- Everything is gonna be alright.
14.       Except for the pronouns (few, many, several, both, all, some) that always take the plural form.
    

          Example: - Few were left alive after the flood.
15.       If two infinitives are separated by and they take the plural form of the verb.
    

          Example:- To walk and to chew gum require great skill.
16.      When gerunds are used as the subject of a sentence, they take the singular verb form of the verb; but, when they are linked by and, they take the plural form.
    

           Example:
    - Standing in the water was a bad idea.
17.      Collective nouns like family, committee, herd, senate, class, crowd, etc. usually take a singular verb form.
    

           Example:
    - The herd is stampeding.
18.       Titles of books, movies, novels, etc. are treated as singular and take a singular verb.
    

          Example: - The Burbs is a movie starring Tom Hanks.
