Brief History

dhionsetio — 2021-09-01 06:50:02 UTC

It's September 18th and BOOM I was born.. alright. Nothing special, it's just family stuffs happening onwards except for my dad filed a divorce when I was 9, I'm used to these kinds of stuff... really. I also have an older brother.

I am a nomad, not gonna lie I always switch from place to place every single time... why... I do have a lot of acquaintances from all around the place thanks to that, they remain only as acquaintances though..

I don't like taking pictures of myself / selfies, I hate being narcistic (no offense), and I am not a social media-oriented person... not good enough myself to care about outside world... and yeah, that's about it.

Nusantara Beauty

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 08:07:42 UTC

Indonesia has a place called Raja Ampat, which it's beauty is in no way inferior to the Maldives. The tourist attractions of Raja Ampat are located in the province of West Papua. Raja Ampat has a unique landscape or landscape. The small coral islands are like jewels that can enchant all tourists. In addition, the water is very clear.

In my opinion, Raja Ampat is a dream destination for many tourists, in fact, I went here once and it was an unreal vacation. One of these is for the natural beauty and culture of the region in eastern Indonesia. However, the most famous side of Raja Ampat is marine tourism as the location of the area is surrounded by the sea and island.

I flew my way there by plane, it was an unforgettable experience! The place itself is not very crowded but well organized too. To get to another island you have to rent a boat and frankly, it was quite expensive T-T (worth it tho). I had a session of diving, boating, exploring and so much more! I really want to go back there sometimes.

Family

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 08:12:45 UTC

For the sake of privacy :)

Meow

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 09:45:49 UTC

Meow

I like meows because they meow.
I have 7 meows, they look like meow.
I call them meow, they are mostly meow years old.

Weather Report

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 11:06:39 UTC

A windy day followed by light rain is my favorite weather combination! The air is very fresh and the quiet streets make me feel at peace as I gain control over my body. I usually just sit and enjoy the rain while being accompanied by one of my entertainment tools such as my cell phone, guitar, or snacks.

Gadgets

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 11:50:29 UTC

Not sure where to start, I have a couple of devices, but my PC is probably the most useful thing I've ever owned. It allows me to see the world through my screen, I can hear all kinds of wonderful sounds coming from my speakers. I can literally do almost anything with it!

I can practice here
I can play games here
I can contact my friends, find new friends, new relationships, and everything through my PC
I can learn something new here
I attend my classes here, and I can even order canned food from Amazon :D

You can live with just one device, PC

Me & English

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 12:24:39 UTC

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING TOPIC FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT!

It all started when I was just a baby, since then my mother has often spoken to me in English. As I get older, my mother speaks English to me from time to time, and I've gotten into the habit of speaking English with people around me.

Since then, I've been practicing a lot of English, joining an English club, taking part in English competitions, meeting foreigners and a lot more! I have had very good experiences with English as it is also my favorite subject. The main reason why I keep on studying English is because of one of my dreams. The main reason why I keep on learning English is because of one of my dreams. I always wanted to travel around the world and enjoy my life to the fullest, I will need great English speakability in order to fulfill that wish!

As far as I'm concerned, memorizing vocabulary and expanding it is one of the easiest tasks for me. Meanwhile, Sentence Structure (I'm glad that I joined here lol) and Pronunciation being my top candidate as the hardest thing to learn. Like seriously: The big red dog, NOT the red big dog. Why does the latter sound so wrong anyway??

Fashion

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 12:29:21 UTC

Casual

I WEAR CASUAL CLOTHES MOST OF THE TIME, VIVA EFICIENCIA!!!

Tho I wear cheesy clothing too sometimes.

EXTREME SPORTS!

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 12:39:46 UTC

I've already tried paragliding! A very pleasant experience! You can feel your heart beating faster when you enjoy the view and the wind carries you far and away. Extreme sports are really great fun, but there are also some extreme sports that I'm too afraid to try, such as rock climbing.

Is riding a rollercoaster considered extreme sports?

Habitat

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 12:45:03 UTC

I live in my own realm, there could be any rooms as long as I want them to be there. Reality can be whatever I want (Evil-smile).

jk ofc, I can't share about my house as of now. (I am not currently living in my own house right now)

Leisures

dhionsetio — 2021-09-08 12:57:43 UTC

I'm a bz person :)

Sike, I love watching TV series day and night. I stay up late and even spend my sleep time playing games. But honestly, I also study every now and then, I also have to do my work as a code monkey on GitHub ... so I have to practice my skills every now and then.

I spend most of my time with my mom, my friends, or someone around me... you name it. ESPECIALLY MYSELF, GOTTA LOVE IT WHEN YOU HAVE THE TIME TO SPEND ALL BY YOURSELF <3

My activities remain largely the same as the current Corona-Virus pandemic, there's nothing much that I can do at this point.

Fifth Meeting - September 14th 2021

dhionsetio — 2021-09-14 01:42:29 UTC

We're having a Quizizz today! It's been a while since I last took a Quizizz session which makes it a little nostalgic. It's great to have this kind of game-oriented study once in a while, it's refreshing!

The quizzes are mostly about "Is this a sentence or a fragment?" stuff, I did the quiz slowly because I thought that the timer didn't really affect the score... but apparently, it did. :(

Oh well.

Seventh Meeting - September 21st 2021

dhionsetio — 2021-09-21 01:05:22 UTC

I forgot to write about the sixth encounter! Oh well, here's what we're going to do for today:
Today we're watching a Netflix series... Huh...
After watching it, we have to write a few sentences and a light paragraph for our assignment... I'll post it in the next thread!

Activity 1 (1)

dhionsetio — 2021-09-21 01:53:57 UTC

_________________________________

Five simple sentences about things that I learned from the documentary:

Nature is both beautiful and harmful.
Climate cycle changes and large-scale earth disasters just come and go.
Humanity is killing this planet at a rapid rate.
Human intelligence is the cause of our own demise.
Imbalanced wealth causes imbalanced problems.

Activity 1 (2)

dhionsetio — 2021-09-21 02:12:19 UTC

I never thought of myself as greedy or self indulgent until I watched this program. The things I do everyday, without forethought, bring such harm to our planet and the creatures that live on it.

Humans always demand the best for themselves, but they always use methods that are detrimental to others. Prioritizing everything with the appendage of 'togetherness', yet destroying their own shade unconsciously, or even worse, intentionally. Human intelligence is itself a very lethal weapon. It is true that it can help humans to survive, but on the other hand it will also damage the user itself. Furthermore, what I find interesting, neither you nor I really care about them. Nowadays humans have a natural attitude to not care about our surroundings, we only sympathize yet not actually doing anything.

Activity 1 (3)

dhionsetio — 2021-09-21 02:25:35 UTC

My heart utterly broke when the polar bear tried to resuscitate the dead walrus. Even non-human beings like them have an angelic enough heart to care for other animals, but unfortunately don't have enough intelligence to save them. In opposite, although humans had enough intelligence to do so, they are quite hellish creatures that care only for themselves.

My condolences...

Eighth Meeting - September 28th 2021

dhionsetio — 2021-09-28 01:21:08 UTC

Remember the last meeting's Netflix documentary? Today (well, not actually today...) we are working on a Canva poster about it... This is kinda fun.

Ninth Meeting(?) and Tenth Meeting! It's kinda confusing.

dhionsetio — 2021-09-28 02:00:21 UTC

Eleventh Meeting - October 5th 2021

dhionsetio — 2021-10-05 01:13:07 UTC

Oftentimes when we are having an online learning session we might find that some students turn off their cameras, they do this based on several factors. With that being said, the first reason is simply that they feel more comfortable with turning off their camera, this can be followed by various additional reasons, one of which is: concerns about their personal appearance. Then on the other hand, although it sounds like a tedious reason, internet problems will undeniably occur at some point when conducting online meetings. Therefore, some students — especially those with fairly poor connections will decide to turn off their cameras to be able to hear the teacher's voice clearly, smoothly watch the instructional videos that have been provided or check the sharing screen that is being provided by the educator properly. While the internet is one of the biggest problems in online learning, this other problem comes from our physical bodies. When we sit down to attend an online class for a long time, it will certainly make our spine feels weary to the point that the feeling of "wanting to lie down" increases drastically in order to eliminate that tired feeling. As one would expect though, resting by lying down while taking an online class seems unethical, therefore some students do it secretly by turning off their cameras. This is not entirely wrong, because no matter how busy we are, of course, fatigue is inevitable, and rest is the only way to overcome this problem. Therefore, in my personal opinion, this can still be tolerated as long as students continue to listen/follow the ongoing learning. Plus, by turning off the camera, we can prevent misunderstandings that might occur if we decided to lie our bodies down with the camera on. There might be many more specific reasons that make students turn off their cameras, in essence, it is always done within a reason.

Meeting 15 - The Country On Cloud Nine

dhionsetio — 2021-10-19 02:07:40 UTC

A place where I want to be now

If you could/were allowed to live anywhere, where would you move to? For me, the word "Finland" immediately crossed my mind. Why so? This country is included in the country with the highest level of happiness in the world, people here are just as happy as a pig in mud! Furthermore, Finland also gives out free high-quality education and free healthcare which are significant factors in how happy its citizens feel, whoever implements those policies must be a knight in shining armor. I would like to mingle and experience for myself what makes Finns so happy! While the country where I am now is only in 96th position out of 156 countries in the order of the happiest citizens, which is indeed a supporting fact for what I am wanting right now.

Meeting 20 - Thank You Letter!

dhionsetio — 2021-11-03 06:03:08 UTC

Since the letter part is somewhat diagonal, then I'll just put it here to avoid a bothersome process.

Dear Auntie Agnes,

Thanks for the shirt, it was fabulous. You know me so well! It looks very funky and catchy at the same time. I honestly don't know how can you find such unique things. But one thing for sure is that I can tell you spent a lot of time picking it out, and it makes me smile to think about how thoughtful you are. The shirt is a perfect fit and I'm absolutely going to use it. You're the best!

(idk the minimum and/or maximum requirements for the paragraph... so yeah (thumbs up emoji))

Meeting 23 - Opinion - Monline Lisa

dhionsetio — 2021-11-16 02:15:00 UTC

The Louvre is a magnificent museum brimming with wonderful artistic treasures found nowhere else. There are far too many to mention here. Since it is a French museum, it has a reasonably great collection of French artists. The Raft of the Medusa by Gericault is a tremendous painting that is powerful, complex, and beautifully painted. And then there's The It Girl, Leonardo Da Vinci's favorite woman who has a mysterious smile that attracts people from all over the world to jostle for a chance to see her up close and personal for about 30 seconds. While I was enjoying being able to gaze at such gorgeous visuals every time, my eyes were essentially dead every time. I was a little disappointed when I realized this was just a virtual tour, but it was well worth it.

Meeting 24 - Extra Exercise

What a wonderful early morning 😀

Meeting 26 - China's Vanishing Muslims

dhionsetio — 2021-11-30 00:00:15 UTC

Religion has always been a difficult subject to broach. It is not only a sensitive topic of conversation, but it is also frequently the source of conflict. It happens because religion is a very personal thing for humans. As a result, it stands to reason that people will be extremely sensitive if something very personal is even mentioned by others, let alone discussed with insults. To save time, I'll just respond right away: the re-enactment of the tragedy that suppressed the Chinese Muslim minority was the only scene that stood out for me (yet really grieve my heart). These issues can be avoided in a variety of ways. Again, conflicts will not occur if the source of the problem, which is the beginning of the fire, is not present. Adequate education and socialization will be able to prevent this type of thing, which may sound unconvincing, but it is true. Of course, all of these issues are still solvable; all we need is the cooperation of all parties involved: citizens and government. Citizens and the government are both, well, humans. The problem is not with religion, but with its adherents, namely humans.

It is impossible for religion to instill in its followers the desire to fight. Although religion is always peaceful, its adherents are not. Remember that the adherents of each religion are human beings. Humans don't do anything for one reason or another. All human actions are motivated by a variety of reasons, causes, and factors. Almost all "religious conflicts" in the world are not solely motivated by religious beliefs. Other factors must be present. The majority of these other factors are far more powerful than religious ones. Power/imperialism, economy, ideology, ethnicity and race, the history of past grudges, the leader's self-esteem/egoism, and others are all factors to consider. Not to mention that the religious factor is more accurately referred to as the "identity factor" in many conflicts. This is because people only see religion as a source of group identity, ignoring the substance of religious teachings and values. It is necessary to distinguish between "Islam as a religion" and "Islamism," or "a socio-political ideology based on Islamic values and teachings."

The point is that both politics and religion should be separated on the grounds that there are many different religions and different rules. By including religious standards in politics, we are demeaning other religions whose rules are not included in politics. This is simply unjust. Separating religion from politics (in this context, the state), or what is commonly referred to as a secular state, entails ensuring that every citizen is free of any religion and that no party may interfere with or impose religion or ways of worship, with no bias or preference to a particular religion. The point is that religion and politics should be separated in order to ensure that all religious adherents are treated equally and fairly, without prioritizing specific religious rules.
