Natural Phenomenon

Nature is really amazing. With all the technologies growing and expanding a lot of people are more interested in technologies than nature. But what they don't know is that there are things such as natural phenomena which is an observable event which is not man-made and happens naturally. Sunset and sunrise are examples of natural phenomena. You might think but that's really normal and usual and we see them everyday. Well folks today I am going to talk about a rare natural phenomenon. Which is this..

   What do you think when you first see those pictures? Those might look like jellyfish or jewels but those are actually frozen methane bubbles. Despite the pretty sight, methane is a flammable gas so if one of these bubbles popped you wouldn't want to be close to one and you certainly shouldn't light a fire here. Also methane is a highly toxic gas. But if you're still curious then this is what happens when a bubble pops and you ignite a fire

So how did this happen?
The methane bubbles are formed when dead organic matter such as animals and plants sink into the bottom of the water and invite a bunch of bacteria. The bacteria then eats the matter and lets out methane gas which turns into these bubbles because of the frozen water. 
If you're really curious and you're thinking of going to see it you can go visit the lakes in Canada such as Minnewanka and Vermillion Lake in Banff National Park.
Another interesing thing is that some bubbles form below other bubbles which then creates some kind of sequence of frozen bubbles and it's really bizarre yet beautiful. 
Can you walk over those bubbles? Well I wouldn't say walk

But you can skate! Just remember to be careful of the methane gas if one of the bubbles pop!

Todaaay in english class we had to make some kind of advertisement. So what's an advertisement? An advertisement is anything that draws people attention and it persuades people to do something.
We had to make an advertisement on a piece of paper and we had to color it and decorate it ourselves and basically just make it interesting. I did one about Pizza Hut because that's the first good thing that came to my mind. But let me tell you that I had to spend like 15 freaking minutes to think of what I was going to draw because I would think of something but then I would be like "Yea.. We're not going to do that". I did not really like just sitting and thinking of what I would do because see if someone asks me something then I wouldn't be able to think of the perfect answer but when no one asks me anything I can think perfectly fine, so there's that. So I was pretty satisfied when I thought about pizza hut because I was also craving some pizza at the time. And I'm pretty proud of myself for drawing the Pizza Hut logo because I think I did pretty well. So after we drew and colored our advertisement, our teacher told us to post it on our blog which is what I am doing right now. So here goes the advertisement

Looking for a place to eat good pizza and get together with the people you love? I've got just the place for you!

PIZZA HUT provides excellent service, a comfortable place, and of course.. Delicious pizza!!

GO VISIT THE NEAREST PIZZA HUT AND ENJOY A LITTLE SLICE OF HAPPINESS!!!

Sooooo that's what I drew and wow I am really craving some pizza right now. 

My Holiday

Hey guys, guess what? I could finally take a break from all the work and the stress and the headaches. That's right, the first semester of school is finished. So right now I am going to tell you about activities that I did on my school break.

I think the most memorable part of my recent holiday is when I went to Palembang with my family and my cousins. In Palembang, we had my some family from my mom's side so we stayed in my mom's cousin's house. 

First, I went from Bandung to Jakarta with a car and we had a cousin in Jakarta which we stayed overnight in. Then, we took a taxi from my cousin's house and went to the airport and took an airplane to Palembang. Once we got to the airport in Palembang, we got picked up and went straight to my mom's cousin's house. 
In Palembang I did a lot of things. My cousins and my family went to try a lot of new foods in Palembang. We also went to The Ampera Bridge and had a ride on a boat to Kemaro Island which is located not too far from The Ampera Bridge. Here is a picture of The Ampera Bridge at night.

And here's a picture taken in daylight.

I think the bridge looks more interesting at night because of all the lights and because it's dark you can't really see the water which is kind of dirty and icky.
Here's a picture of one of the restaurants that we visited. It's called River Side and if you're wondering it is located in the riverside. As you can see through the window there's river water. The food was really good and it was a fun experience.

We also went to visit a lot of relatives, which to be honest, some I had never met before. Some of my relatives lived in a more village-like place in Palembang and we visited them. We were greeted warmly. The houses in the village are different than the houses yo usually see in the cities. The houses here made out of wood and they were above ground houses. My relatives taught us how to cook fish crackers. It was really interesting. We were also served some traditional food.  
We stayed in Palembang for a week more or less. We went back to Jakarta with a plane bringing so much more stuff to than we first brought when we first came to Palembang.
Back in Bandung, I returned to my lazy self again. What I did was watch a ton of movies and stayed on my laptop, watched a lot of videos on youtube (I mean, come on, what kind of person only watches one youtube video, right?). I also hung out with my friends (I met them face to face, we did not hang out using the internet), good to know I still have a life. I went to my old school and met my old friends. Then I hung out with Farid (he also goes to SMAN 3), Azka, and Febi who were my friends back in Junior High. We hung out together to watch a movie and played games and I really enjoyed it I wish I could hang out with them again. Then I slept over in Azka's house and we watched another movie and couldn't really sleep so we talked all night. 
So yep after that I stayed at home and wasted my time on movies again. The movies I watched were Pride and Prejudice, Se7en, The Imitation Game, and a lot more. Oh I also went jogging and I was proud of myself for doing that. Another thing that I did in Bandung is that I visited my cousin's cafe with my cousins and aunts (The dads were going somewhere together). The cafe is called Little Wings and it's located in the upper side of Dago. If you're curious about it you should go visit the cafe. There are 80s magazines there so that's interesting right. The place is just so vintage and I recommend all of you to go there.
Soooo I guess that's how my holiday went, not too bad right.
