My Lovely Front Pages

   Honestly, I just wanna share this one. It's all what I really love to read when I open my binder. Haha, yeah I know it's soo unimportant. But, please check it out.

Rainbow Appearance

a beautiful big rainbow, isn't it?

   I've never seen rainbow since I was in 6th grade. It was just a small one, behind the clouds. But few days ago my neighbourhood was surprised by a beautiful big rainbow. It was so amazing, as you can see. It's such a rare nature appearance. That's why most people wouldn't waste their time to looking at, they also took this rare opportunity to took its picture.

   Then on last Friday, another rainbow appearance was appeared behind a big nimbus cloud on a sunny sky. These are the pictures.

   It was smaller than the first one, wasn't it? Yeah, and it was hiding too. My mom found it when she swept our house's terrace. She called me and asked me to hurry. I wouldn't waste this rare opportunity, so I took my phone and took some pictures. I think this rainbow looks like Paddle Pop Rainbow ice cream. Who agrees with me? :D

   Rainbow, one of the optical phenomena that is so colourful. It spans continuous spectrum of colours, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple. So, how can this phenomena happen so rare? This is the explanation I got from some trusted sources.

The light is first refracted entering the surface of the raindrop, reflected off the back of the drop, and again refracted as it leaves the drop. The overall effect is that the incoming light is reflected back over a wide range of angles, with the most intense light at an angle of 40°–42°. The angle is independent of the size of the drop, but does depend on its refractive index. Seawater has a higher refractive index than rain water, so the radius of a 'rainbow' in sea spray is smaller than a true rainbow. This is visible to the naked eye by a misalignment of these bows.^[2] The amount by which light is refracted depends upon itswavelength, and hence its colour. Blue light (shorter wavelength) is refracted at a greater angle than red light, but due to the reflection of light rays from the back of the droplet, the blue light emerges from the droplet at a smaller angle to the original incident white light ray than the red light. You may then think it is strange that the pattern of colours in a rainbow has red on the outside of the arc and blue on the inside. However, when we examine this issue more closely, we realize that if the red light from one droplet is seen by an observer, then the blue light from that droplet will not be seen because it must be on a different path from the red light: a path which is not incident with the observer's eyes. The blue light seen in this rainbow will therefore come from a different droplet, which must be below that whose red light can be observed.

Contrary to popular belief, the light at the back of the raindrop does not undergo total internal reflection, and some light does emerge from the back. However, light coming out the back of the raindrop does not create a rainbow between the observer and the sun because spectra emitted from the back of the raindrop do not have a maximum of intensity, as the other visible rainbows do, and thus the colours blend together rather than forming a rainbow.^[3]

Light rays enter a raindrop from one direction (typically a straight line from the Sun), reflect off the back of the raindrop, and fan out as they leave the raindrop. The light leaving the rainbow is spread over a wide angle, with a maximum intensity at 40.89°–42°.

White light separates into different colours on entering the raindrop because red light is refracted by a lesser angle than blue light. On leaving the raindrop, the red rays have turned through a smaller angle than the blue rays, producing a rainbow.

A rainbow does not actually exist at a particular location in the sky. Its apparent position depends on the observer's location and the position of the sun. All raindrops refract and reflect the sunlight in the same way, but only the light from some raindrops reaches the observer's eye. This light is what constitutes the rainbow for that observer. The position of a rainbow in the sky is always in the opposite direction of the Sun with respect to the observer, and the interior is always slightly brighter than the exterior. The bow is centred on the shadow of the observer's head, or more exactly at the antisolar point (which is below the horizon during the daytime), appearing at an angle of 40°–42° to the line between the observer's head and its shadow. As a result, if the Sun is higher than 42°, then the rainbow is below the horizon and usually cannot be seen as there are not usually sufficient raindrops between the horizon (that is: eye height) and the ground, to contribute. Exceptions occur when the observer is high above the ground, for example in an aeroplane (see above), on top of a mountain, or above a waterfall.

   

About My Blog

   I made this blog around year 2008 and became active around year 2009. And guess what, I started using English for my posts in last April when I wrote my longest post ever, 'Studying Abroad' (you can click 'April' on my blog archive, and that's the only one post I wrote in that month).

   At first, my posts were just as personal consumption. Never I promoted this blog to my friends. I felt my blog is so boring, no interesting posts. The design also was not really good. Yeah, I didn't master it yet, at all. I used the available template, I added some gadgets but it didn't work, my blog still unable to be seen! (hebring plus lebay modeon)

   Until finally I had an idea to search blog template at google.com. I found sooo many unique blog templates. I tried them one by one and finally I matched with the one I'm using as my blog background right now. So simple, but I like it a lot! It's not such like my friends' that are so colourful and crowded. I like simple, I like chocolate, I like vintage!

   So, after total repair, my blog is ready to show off! I often promote to my classmates, then my other friends at Facebook (through 'SHARE' button on the left), Twitter, and Plurk. I share what I want to tell, what I feel, hear, see, smell, and so on.

   Few days ago, I shared about my friendship and some of my friends love it so much. Thanks guys! And I've promised to post and share about my one-year classmate called TERORISmasa. Well, be patient of the release! I'll show you memorable videos of one of my  beloved class. :D

   Okay, I'll continue my story. After my friends read my blog, well, they asked me why I used English on my posts. I'm afraid they didn't really understand the words I wrote on my posts because I realize my English is a bit bad. Yeah, to improve it, I can't just rely on English lesson at school, right?? :) But for some posts maybe I'll use full bahasa or bilingual.

   Now, about my posts. I know my posts have less information, especially for recent or even up-to-date informations. Should I share about the latest news: splashy video of Ariel and Luna? Guys, the first thing you should know, my blog theme is something what I want to share. And mostly it comes from every events around me. Something what I heard, smelled, saw, felt. I want to share my life stories, such like biography. But it's on virtual word that you can access 24 hours for free.

   I dream to have an autobiography of my life, just like a novel I have. Because I'm not so well-known and I feel my daily stories are just common stories of a human being, so at first I try to write my experiences here. So that when this blog is suddenly famous and people likes my life stories, I'll think about making an autobiography. And if we write our story here, we don't need to cut down the trees to make it into papers. If you love your earth and want to share about your life stories, blog is the alternative one you can choose. Well, I suppose to not promoted here.

   One of the topics I want to share is LOVE STORY, a common feelings which belongs to all human beings who live on a blue ball called EARTH. I have one draft about my love confession part 2 which is already posted, but I still wait for something. So, please one more patient. :D

   This topic is so sensitive. Sometimes I posted when I was on anger of someone, just like the last one. And I won't tell you their name. Maybe I'll change it into another one. I will tell you if I'm ready to publish it. ;D

   And may I say: I'm a mysterious person. A bit introvert, but  I'm not an alien! [???]

   Well, please keep reading my posts even the old one although It's not so much interesting for you. I'm trying to be as often as I could to write another post.

   Oh, one thing! I need your wishes, prays, etc! I'm on final grade exams and wish me not get any remedial and get good scores, also can enter science class for the next academic year! ;D

Confession Part 1.1

Well for someone who seems forget about me (ehm, not really forget)...

I just wanna say THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!

Thank you for being my friend since last July 2009 until February 2010 (or until now?)...

Thank you for believing me to keep your secret (even it made me hurt)...

Thank you for being my nice friend to talk to...

A thousands thanks for being my 'doctor'...

You know, I have so much words that I would say to you...

It was nice when you smiled on me then called my name...

I miss that thing...

But you make me can't understand you...

You seems to ignore me but still tell me that your number has changed. It's so funny and I'd love to laugh! :D

Seeing and meeting you at school, nowadays makes me feel down.

And let me ask you something, just one question:

You regard me as what ????

   Well, hope we won't meet again. Have nice days in your new campus!

Unrequited Love

   I've just found this word from a book I've been reading for 2 days. This word is a word I had tried to look up on my dictionary for a long time, but it wasn't successful.

   I've been reading a book that is titled Marmut Merah Jambu, written by Raditya Dika, a popular comedian writer. Before this one, I have one of his book, titled Cinta Brontosaurus. And from that book, I become a big fan of him! His stories are so funny, make me wanna laugh all day long! Most of his stories are his own love story.

Well, I got it with full of tears. Ha ha ha. :P

   Well, I got a new story that is the same with mine. And it's all about what I've titled on this post. Unrequited Love.

   Then, I need a song 'I Remember' to accompany this post. Who don't mind to sing it? :D
   When we fall in love for the first time, our life becomes a bit hard than usual. And I felt that thing. My life wasn't really fun when I thought of him all the time. My score was getting worse. For addition, my first love and I were in a different school. So, I couldn't control him as well. I never knew how I could like, or even love him. But it's what you called with L-O-V-E. LOVE. Love. Amore. Cinta.
   You never know how you can love him, you never find the reason. My first love isn't good at score, but very good at basketball. Hmm, not really. I even don't really know what he's good at! Well, I think love is so unreasonable. Ha ha ha. Who does agree with me??
   He interested me so well. He made me feel so awkward, sometimes made me wanna cry all day long. Yup, that's true. If I missed him so much, I would cry on my room. Well, I had tried to send him a message but it was not really working. He didn't reply it. And that made me feel so sad, this feeling is so indescribable. He never sent me any messages if I didn't start it first. He never sent me a long message before he finally had someone special. We never had any progress in 3 years. So sucks! But it's the reality and this is what I called with L-O-V-E. Errr, nope. It's unrequited love.
   But at least I have some precious memories to remember. Unfortunately I can't mention it one by one. Okay, I'll tell you one of them. Hem, it happened a long time ago. He and I, also some of my friend were in a group. We had to make a small drama and we chose Ande-Ande Lumut as our story. He acted as Ande-Ande Lumut, and of course I wished I was the Klenting Kuning. But unfortunately I became Klenting Merah. Okay, it's okay. I had no problem with it. But I felt a bit jealous. Yep, especially when the drama was demonstrated.  :(  *so raise your hand if you know who he is! :)
   It's a long time story. Just a memory and I don't want keep it in my mind continuously. It's such kind of useless thing, but unforgettable memory.
   Then continue on my high school, SMASA.
   I had to accept the reality that he had a girlfriend, even she is so beautiful and so attractive. I became a bit not confident. I'm just a quite person and a not-attractive-enough girl. Well, so shame. What a pain! Because I'm self conscious, I only admired at him. Until finally in August I liked with one of my senior (you must know who he is!). And it's the end of my first unrequited love.
   Honestly, unrequited love is something common in a love life. And after felt the unrequited love for a long time, I feel so tired of loving someone first, especially like my past one. I could't make a good atmosphere when I kept contact with someone I love. I never said 'hello' to him. I always waited for a miracle, that he would say 'hello' to me. Hey, I know it's quite impossible. But nothing is impossible! Believe it! :)
   Well, I also got good quotes for this unrequited love (I got them from Marmut Merah Jambu):

seperti dua kapal yang berpapasan sewaktu badai, kita telah bersilang jalan satu sama lain, tapi kita tidak membuat sinyal, kita tidak mengucapkan sepatah katapun, kita tidak punya apapun untuk dikatakan. - Oscar Wilde

    And the second one is:

Nothing takes the flavour out of the peanut butter quite like unrequited love. - Charlie Brown

   Well, it's so suitable with my story, isn't it ??
   And nowadays, my love story is a bit different. It's almost the same, but you just need to change the subject....also the object. Errr, actually it's not my love story. It's his and only him who can share you about this one. Him?? Who is he?? :) Do you wanna know? Curios???
   Clue? Well, he's one of my close boy friends. Ha ha ha.
   Other clues? Well, please follow me and check my tweets on my twitter account. Or if you are my schoolmate, please observe who wanna be closer with me. Or if you could, please check my inbox on my phone! There are SO MUCH messages from him!
   Still curios?? Hemmm....Well, have a nice search! :D
   If I were you, I would be so excited with this search! Believe me! It's quite fun when you have to find out something, you'll be like a detective! By the way, I'm a big fan of Shinichi Kudo! He he he. He's so perfect! Smart, yes he has it! Pretty handsome, no doubt with it! Cool, aargh who doesn't know it???
   Oh, because now I'm being kind enough, so I'll give you another clue: he has the same birthday as my idol also my first love. Guess it! :)
   Well once again, if you have much time to find out, just find it! And have a nice search! ;D
