Sanata Dharma University's Library
Sanata Dharma has two main districts. One is located east of the Realino soccer field, and the other is located west of the Realino soccer field. The library is located on the west district, and it is very easy place to find. The library is a big building located north of The Administration building, and it is facing south. The building is surrounded by trees, garden and open space. The wall is painted white, and the roof is painted red.
The library has four floors. The Entrance is in the first floor. There, we can find student locker, security gate, and place to register our book before we borrow it. The second floor has workstation. There we can work with computers that provided with internet access. So we can find a lot of information for completing our assignment. There are also reading place in the second floor, but everyone must keep silent, so that the others feel comfortable. On the third floor, the library provides us with discussion room, which we can discuss all things with free, not like the reading place in the second floor. Other place in the third floor is Ignatian room, where we can't enter it because some people say it is forbidden.
Every room or place in the library is air conditioned. Each floor has its own lavatory, except the basement floor. The basement floor provides us with old books, old patterns and restricted books. The air is thick and soggy.
Well, I think that's a bit about Sanata Dharma University's library. Thanks for reading, and please don't be shy to comment my assignment, I will really appreciate it.

Assignment 5 : Describing Other
This time, i want to describe one of my incredible friends of mine. Why i think it is incredible? Because he can do almost everything that others can't. Yep, his name is Harsya. He was born in Kauman, Yogyakarta. I don't really remember his birthday but i think its May 28th 1991. He is smaller than me, but you know, don't judge the book by its cover. Actually he has hidden brainpower inside his little near-bald head. Well, first let me describe his appearance, he is a funny-looking face person, short haired, dark-brown eyed, small chinned, near-thick lipped and he is a small-nose person. He likes to wear naruto-like clothes, cloud strife-like sunglasses, and black-long trousers (Cloud Strife is an anime character he admired most).
Yeah, he became my friend since we first gathered in senior high school. He acts cool, silent and the way he walks is anime-like move. At first i didn't care, but after he joined my class, me and my friends began to comment whatever he did. Especially the way he talks, it looks like he was talking with encrypted language. He speaks fast, and he knows many languages like english, japanese and of course javanese.
You know in my school, the boy cannot sit next to the girl, it's because the religion command. Unfortunately, in my brand-new class, i sat next to him. Day by day i began to understand what was he up to. From what i heard, he has been an "English First" student for five years (English First is a english course). That's a very long time for him to not just understand english, but knowing it's essence too. So actually he knows whatever he said just like we speak indonesian every day. Moreover, he was and still very good at other class like math, biology etc.
Do you know IELTS? It's some kind of test like TOEFL, but i think it's harder because i already tried it.
Here's the short story. At first my school offered the class to join the IELTS test. Of course all students in my class agreed to join it. At last, the time has come. We are going to have that IELTs test. Oh, before i forget to remind you about the levels of the IELTS user. There are ten levels. The zero grades is the worst. It is for non-english user. Ten is the highest rank, it's for the one who have mastered his english, i think.
Now back to the story-line, as usual, i had meeting with all my friends that this test should be done together. After that, as we all agreed, we took the seat formation, Harsya, the answer-center was sat on the very center of the class, guarded by four distribution captain, one of them was me. The test went smoothly. But when it comes to listening section, looks like i was absent-minded. I really didn't get what was the meaning of the test. I don't even know the question. It's kinda using american accent, but it was faster than TOEFL. Heck. I didn't care about it anymore.
And so, the exam result has come out, Harsya was at seventh level, and i was at big-zero level. Cursed! When I asked harsya why our result was far different, he said that he already changed his fake-false answers to the right answers while we were busy distributing the wrong answers. Well, that doesn't matter, but what i recognized here, that he has great talent with languages, especially english, made him incredible boy. Hoo boy, and i was and still a mere foolish boy. Now you see why I think my friend is incredible.

Most Interesting Trip
My unforgettable memory started when I was just a little kid. Back There I was ten years old. My father asked me to accompany him to Madura. We were about to fish on the great blue sea of Madura Strait. Both of us left Yogyakarta at five o'clock in the morning. We went to "Tanjung Perak" by Bus. "Tanjung Perak" was the name of the harbor where the ship that carry us to Madura, existed. And after we arrived at harbor, we didn't need to get off from the bus, all vehicles were also allowed to enter the ship, with different taxes. When we were at the trip to Madura, my father asked me to look around the ship, I happily accepted his invitation. We looked all over the ship, saw the blue sea, and saw some dolphins swam curiously beside the ship. What a Wonderful View. I was so glad I accompanied my father to Madura.
After we arrived at Kamal Harbor, we continued our journey to my uncle's house. His house wasn't far from the harbor.My uncle was so kind. He helped us to prepare our goods for fishing. After all completed, my father and I departed from my uncle's home and headed to mister Jamal's house.
Mister Jamal was a true fisherman. My father knew mister Jamal when he was fish seller, my father bought at mister Jamal's store, chatted for a long time, and my father got along with him very well. After a long time nostalgic conversation, finally we went to mister Jamal's motorboat and sailed to the great blue sea. Mister Jamal also got his own crew with him. So we were all seven people in one motorboat.
My father asked me to sit on the front edge of the ship, and because I was born on Madura, that almost all of the people there were fisherman, I was not afraid of deep water and other sea creature. So I sat and felt the wind scratching my cheeks and eyes. I felt so happy, and after three hours sea trip, we arrived at the first fish spot. There, I saw a lot of fish. They looked like some big group of fishes. Madura's fisherman called that fish "Sandal Fish", why? I didn't know either. Anyway, we moved to the second fish spot. There I didn't see any fish like in the first spot, but my father told us that this was where an average fish and big fish usually dwelled. So we start to cast our fishing line and wait. After twenty minutes waiting, mister Jamal revealed the truth. He got a big fish, about three feet long. And just five minutes after that, my father got one too. Unfortunately, because I was not an experienced fisherman, I didn't get any fish. All I said was," Fish, I'm going to turn you into Canned Sardine once I got you, just wait!!" But after one hour fishing, I got nothing. Sadly, I stopped and continued to the third fish spot.
Suddenly, mister Jamal pointed his finger to the deep of the water, and all I said was," My Gosh, what is that big round thing far deep in the water? And it was moving very slowly!!" Mister Jamal told me that was a giant sea turtle. At first I didn't believe, it was so big, even bigger from dinosaur from the Jurassic Park the movie. But my father said that down there, not just in Madura, in other deep sea, lives other bigger creature than this one. Remember about Giant Jellyfish found on the Europe Coast? That's some reality. It was only human can't reach the deep, so the sea creature remain unrevealed. I started to believe my father's story, because all in this world was not impossible.
After that amazing event, I went back to the beach, had the fish grilled with traditional recipes. After we all satisfied, i said goodbye to mister Jamal and went back to my uncle's house with my father at twenty two o'clock. I slept for very long time that I didn't recognize that It was already afternoon. That evening, I joined my uncle and my father to a traditional market. My father bought me a lovely cap. I was so happy. After shopping, we went home and went to sleep.
At early morning, my father woke me up, told me to prepare all my things, because we were going home, to Yogyakarta. Oh man, I wish I could stay longer on Madura, but I can't. My father and I left at Seven o'clock in the morning. We went to Yogyakarta the same way we went to Madura. After arrived at Yogyakarta, i unpacked my goods helped by my mother, took a bath, and once again, I went to sleep. That was a bit about my adventure on Madura. Hope You Like it.

EWD 2009-My Marvelous Experience in Sanata Dharma
Last Saturday, I was ordered to join EWD 2009 at wonogondang. It's located on Kaliurang Street Km 24.The road was pretty rough and heavy, and we barely arrived at Wonogondang that evening. After got down from the bus, I recognized that the weather is so cold, even though the sun was still up. Slightly after that cold arrival, we were ordered to rejoin our group for some briefing. After that briefing, we were ordered to move to our tent with our tent leader. Fortunately, our tent leader was Rengga, and he was an easy going person, so our "tent group" got along very well.
After I had some rest, I went to the secret bathroom where all group leaders take a bath. When I just arrived, I saw some female group leaders just got out of the bathroom, even though the warning board says, "Toilet for Man". All I can just said was, "My Gosh, just what does she think she's doing?"
Anyway, after I took a bath with high class "cold water" like in the hotels, I went to my tent and prepared for the talent show. That night was awesome. The groups showed their own skills and talents like in the Television. I thought that after talent show there should be some time to rest, but unfortunately, we were ordered to join an event called Tracking. Tracking was like walking in the night following the sign, and when we got to a post, we were asked to play some games, where most of the games need teamwork. The strangest event was when we arrived at sixth post. There we were ordered to sit, and then my right foot was soaked in cold water. "Good lord! What time do you think it was?" I said. It was around five in the morning, and the water was very .... Ah it's okay. I think that was just a sign of welcoming from our senior.
After that Tracking event, I went to my tent and took a nap for just an hour. The second day event was outbound. Most of the games were water-related games. My favorite game was, "Swing for your life". In this game we had to swing to the other side without getting soaked with water. That's what the game master said. I like this game because this was the only one I can do, the other game like walking on a bamboo tree above frog-filled pool, I fell down and I swim sadly with the frogs.
After that event, I went to take a bath at that secret bathroom again. This time, there was no girl, just some men loafing around. Anyway, after prepare for go home, we had our last EWD 2009 jingle song, looks like my bones is going to break whenever I try to dance. At half past five in the afternoon, the bus that takes us home arrived. After we packed our goods, we went home and went to sleep.

7 Gerakan Senam Mata Mempertajam Penglihatan
Senam mata tak cuma membuat mata tetap awas dan sehat. Keriput dan gelambir kantong di bawah mata juga bisa dicegah. Gerakannya cukup mudah untuk dilakukan setiap hari.
Salah satu organ penting panca indera kita adalah mata. Sayangnya kesibukan dan rutinitas kerja membuat kita lupa mengolahragakan mata. Olahraga mata artinya menggerakkan mata dengan gerakan tertentu untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mata itu sendiri. Tujuannya untuk menghindari berbagai gangguan pada mata, seperti penyakit rabun dekat, rabun jauh, mata terasa kabur, mata pedih dan mata merah.
Pola hidup dan pola makan yang keliru juga dapat menimbulkan gangguan pada mata. Pada penderita diabetesi dan hipertensi, kemungkinan terkena katarak, glaukoma, dan retinopati (kerusakan pada selaput jalan mata) bisa saja terjadi. Hal yang sama dapat memicu timbulnya penyakit pada mata bila Anda sering depresi, stres atau suka marah.
Menjaga dan melatih mata agar selalu sehat sebenarnya tidak sulit. Menurut Oei Gin Djing, akupunturis yang juga praktisi chikung dan prana yang tinggal di Jakarta, ada cara mudah melatih mata Anda agar tetap dapat melihat indahnya dunia, yakni denga melakukan senam mata setiap hari.
Senam mata sangat berguna bagi Anda yang sering menggunakan mata saat bekerja. Seperti akuntan, ilmuwan, penjahit, pecinta buku, penulis, pelajar, ahli komputer, dan siapapun yang banyak memanfaatkan matanya. Senam ini bisa dilakukan dalam posisi berdiri, duduk, berbaring, maupun kondisi mata terpejam.
Lebih jauh, kata Oei, senam mata mempunyai banyak manfaat. Contohnya, mengurangi atau menghilangkan penyakit mata, mencegah timbulnya tumor di belakang mata dan di kelenjar hipofisis (pituitari), menghilanqkan lingkaran dan bengkak di bawah mata atau menghilangkan kantong mata, mengurangi keriput di sekitar mata, membuat otot mata dan sekitarnya menjadi elastis dan kuat, serta mempertajam penglihatan.
“Sebaiknya sebelum dan setelah melakukan gerakan senam mata, gosok-gosok telapak tangan sampai panas. Kemudian tempelkan telapak tangan dimata selama 2,5 menit,”katanya.
Gerakan-gerakannya:
1.
Kepala tegak lurus ke depan. Arahkan pandangan mata ke atas (langit-langit), kemudian melihat ke lantai. Lakukan gerakan ini secara perlahan-lahan dan mantap 5-10 kali setiap hari.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Gerakkan bola mata ke kiri dan ke kanan. Usahakan seperti ingin melihat telinga. Lakukan gerakan ini sebanyak 5-10 kali setiap harinya.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
Gerakkan bola mata ke atas. Tahan bola mata di atas. Kemudian gerakkan ke kiri atas dan ke kanan atas. Lakukan gerakan ini sebanyak 5-10 kali setiap hari.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.
Gerakkan bola mata ke bawah dan tahan di bawah. Kemudian gerakkan bola mata ke kiri bawah dan ke kanan bawah. Lakukan gerakan ini sebanyak 5-10 kali setiap harinya.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.
Gerakkan bola mata ke atas dan ke bawah pada sudut-sudut yang berlawanan (selang-seling), dimulai dari pojok kiri atas ke pojok kanan bawah. Lakukan gerakan ini sebanyak 5-10 kali setiap hari.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.
Gerakkan bola mata seperti pada gerakan sebelumnya, tetapi dimulai dari pojok kiri bawah ke pojok kanan atas.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.
Putar bola mata ke kiri searah jarum jam sebanyak 5-10 kali. Kemudian, putar bola mata ke kanan, berlawanan dengan arah jarum jam sebanyak 5-10 kali. Lakukan gerakan tadi sebanyak 5-10 kali.(catatan: pada saat akan berganti di putaran ke kiri, hentikan dulu dan pejamkan mata selama 5-10 detik.)
Saya pribadi sudah sering mempraktekkan cara diatas, dan ternyata efeknya bagus, mata menjadi lebih segar, best regard to anak-anak Kaskus. Nice info Gan !
