How do You Stay Focused?

Hey fellas! As you know that this is me, Aurellia Tanica. Now, I am going to write about how do I stay focused on what I am working on. Let’s read to know how! :D

There are no secret on how I stay focused because every children has their own type of studying such as; working on hands, by hearing, or by visual. So, it depends on them. For me, I can stay focused if there is classic or Mozart’s music. Why? Because, for me music makes me relaxed. By listening to music, I can be more creative and I also will have peace in my heart. I also will stay focused if it is noisy. Why? Because if the situation is really silent probably like the situation in graveyard, it will make me sleepy and I will sleep instead of studying.

Beside that, eating some snacks will also help me stay focused because I can enjoy studying. I suggest you to eat the snacks that contain low carbohydrate. Why? Because experts say by eating food that contains too much carbohydrate will make us become sleepy. So, I suggest you to eat sour snacks.

The last thing that I do to make I stay focused is having a rest for a while because I can’t keep myself focused for hours. So, I must have a break.

In conclusion, listening to classic or Mozart’s music, eating snacks, and having a rest are the things that I do to make me stay focused. Hope you are blessed by reading this. Thank you and God bless you.

Sugar Glider

This is the cutest animal that I have ever seen. This animal is easy to be adopted as our pet. Sugar gliders are small marsupials. Sugar gliders are included into the family of kangaroo because female sugar gliders have a pouch on its abdomen. They are originally from the rainforests of Australia and Indonesia. They also have been domestically bred as household pets in the United States for last 12 – 15 year. The common name refers to its preference for sugary nectarous foods and ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel. Due to convergent evolution, they have very similar appearance and habits to the flying squirrel, but are not closely related. The scientific name, Petaurus breviceps, translates from Latin as "short-headed rope-dancer", a reference to their canopy acrobatics.

The sugar gliders have a squirrel-like body with a long, partially (weakly) prehensile tail. The males are larger than the females and have bald patches on their head and chest. Their length from the nose to the tip of the tail is about 24 to 30 cm. A sugar glider has a thick, soft fur coat that is usually blue-grey. Their face is much pointier than that of a flying squirrel. The pointy face, combined with the ears and the big eyes, gives them a look that is somewhat reminiscent of a bat. Some have been known to be yellow, tan or (rarely) albino. A black stripe is seen from its nose to midway on its back. Its belly, throat, and chest are cream in color. They are nocturnal animals, their large eyes help them to see at night, and their ears swivel to help locate prey in the dark.

It has five digits on each foot, each having a claw, except for the opposable toe on the hind feet. Also on the hind feet, the second and third digits are partially syndactylous (fused together), forming a grooming comb. Its most striking feature is the patagium, or membrane, that extends from the fifth finger to the first toe. When legs are stretched out, this membrane allows the sugar glider to glide a considerable distance.

There are four scent glands, located frontal (forehead), sternal (chest), and two paracloacal (associated with, but not part of the cloaca). These are used for marking purposes, mainly by the male. The frontal gland is easily seen on an adult male as a bald spot. The female has a marsupium (pouch) in the middle of her abdomen to carry offspring.

Sugar gliders are located in parts of Australia, New Guinea, Tasmania and nearby islands. Sugar gliders will be found in forests where it can feed on the sap of eucalyptus trees. This is where the "sugar" in Sugar Glider is derived from. They will also feed on fruits and vegetables, and insects represent a larger portion of their diet. Sugar gliders can be found throughout the northern and eastern parts of mainland Australia, and in Tasmania, Papua New Guinea and several associated isles, the Bismarck Archipelago, Louisiade Archipelago, and certain isles of Indonesia, Halmahera Islands of the North Moluccas. The sugar glider was introduced to Tasmania in 1835. This is supported by the absence of skeletal remains in sub fossil bone deposits and the lack of an Aboriginal Tasmanian name for the animal. They can be found in any forest where there is a suitable food supply, but most are commonly found in forests with eucalyptus trees.

Being nocturnal, they sleep in their nests during the day and are active at night. During the night they hunt insects and small vertebrates, and feed on the sweet sap of certain species of eucalyptus, acacia and gum trees.

They are arboreal, spending most of their lives in trees. When suitable habitats are present, sugar gliders can be seen 1 per 1,000 square metres, provided there are tree hollows available for shelter.

In conclusion, sugar glider is an amazing animal with small body and large eyes that help them to see at night.

HEY GUYS!! I'VE JUST POSTED A NEW VIDEO ON YOUTUBE! THIS IS THE LINK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOMrv680Drw&feature=youtu.be ENJOY THE VIDEO! (:

Indonesia, My Beloved Country

Hey fellas! My name is Aurellia Tanica Indrawan and I’m a ninth grader. Tunas Bangsa Christian School (TBCS) is my school and Indonesia is my country. I’m being asked by my English teacher to write a descriptive writing which contains of minimum 600 words. It is really many, isn’t it? Although it is many, I will try my utmost to do it! Because I love my country, so I decided to write about it. Hope you enjoy reading this! J

INDONESIA. Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world with 18,108 islands (based on 2003 satellite imaging data), stretching across the equator for more than 5,000 km. Indonesia’s islands are wonderful. They have fabulous sceneries. Indonesia is a beautiful country that is located in Southeast Asia. Indonesia’s location is really strategic which is in the equator. Long time ago, Indonesia’s location is being used by visitors as a trade route. Red and white is Indonesia’s flag that represents the country of Indonesia. Red represents courage and white represents holiness. As you know, that ¾ of Indonesia is surrounded by water. Because of that, Indonesia is called ‘Maritime Country’.

Indonesia has many unique cultures. The examples are batik and wayang. UNESCO designated batik and wayang as the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Javanese traditional batik is from Jogjakarta and Surakarta. There are many types of batik in Indonesia. There are many kinds of wayang too. The most popular kind of wayang is Wayang Golek. Wayang Golek is a puppet made from wooden doll which is especially famous in the land of Pasundan.

Beside its good sides, Indonesia also has its bad sides. Two of them that I want to discuss here are corruption and pollution. Most of Indonesian people love to do corruption. They do that because they are really greedy. Greedy of what?? Of course greedy of money! They want to be richer than before. The surprising thing is those people are the people who work for Indonesia in the government sector. It is really horrible, isn’t it? Beside corruption, Indonesian people also love to break the rules that have been stated by the government such as not littering the environment. There are still many people who love to litter their environment. Actually they know that they should throw it into the trash bin or trash can, but they still break it because government did not give them strict consequences like what other countries do.

In order to make Indonesia be a better country, citizens there must obey the rules. They must stop corruption and other things that adverse Indonesia. Indonesia also must choose a Godly leader that can lead our country. My suggestion is Jokowi and Ahok be the president and the vice president of Indonesia because as you know that they are really responsible. They do their task extra miles. In my opinion, if we have them as our president and vice president, Indonesia will be really better than now. There will be no poverty anymore. Poor people will enjoy their lives although not as good as ours, but I know that they will get a better living and of course better future too.

I really proud to live in an amazing country, Indonesia! Why?? Because Indonesia is so rich especially in arts, cultures, natural and human resources. How about you? Do you proud on where you live right now? Sorry for some grammatical errors that I have made and sorry because maybe this essay is kind of boring because I have no idea. Anyway, thank you for reading! Hope you are blessed! :D

There are now about 150,000 maids in Singapore. They came from countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Most of them are paid only modest wages for working up to 16 hours every day. The average maid looks after the children, cooks, cleans, does the marketing and sometimes washes the family car. In some instances, she also takes the dog for a walk. She is at the beck and call of her employer whom she normally addresses as ‘Sir’ or ‘Madam’.

Although some employers treat their maids well, others allow them very little time off work. A few even confine them to the house for months on end. Recently, there was the case of an employer who tied his maid up for an entire weekend. His excuse was that she had tried to leave the house without permission.

The question that springs to mind is this : why do maids put up with such treatment? The answer is simple – money. In their home countries, maids often have to work just as hard for only a few dollars a month. The $300 that they earn in Singapore is enough for remittances home. It is indeed heartening for these maids to know that they are contributing in a significant way towards the maintenance of their families. That is one reason why some put up with less than ideal conditions of work.

Many organizations catering to the welfare of maids have grown up over the years. But the real answer is this : all employers of maids should ensure that those young women are not exploited. They must be treated as human beings with needs, hopes and ambitions like us.

Who Inspires Me

Hi readers! My name is Aurellia Tanica and I’m a 9^th grader. I’m from Tunas Bangsa Christian School. Now, I would like to share about those three persons who had inspired me. Come on and read it! :)

There are some people in my life who had inspired me throughout my lifetime. They are my parents, my teachers at school and some of my friends. Why I said that my parents inspired me?? I said that because they had thought me how to manage my time wisely, asked me to never give up, support me to do my best or utmost for GOD, and etc. I am really happy because GOD has given me those adorable parents in my amazing life!

Teachers. For me, teachers are just like my parents at school. Teachers here are really kind even though there are few teachers that I didn’t like. They have taught me so much about Godly characters in my daily life.  Although sometimes I hate them because they gave me too much boring lectures, but I know that it is for my own sake. Without their help, maybe I’m still a bad girl who loves to gossip, bullies friends, and says bad words.

The last but not least are my friends. They have inspired me to be more friendly to others. That’s all that I want to share for now. How about you? Who had inspired you? By the way, thank you for reading and sorry for some grammatical errors that I have made ;D.
