Ballads of the thesis: part 2 (and a surprising new FB friend)

Ok, I’ve told you previously that I am going to conduct a research about grammatical errors made by indonesian bloggers on writing english blog posts. Many times I shared this topic to my seniors, and guess what did they say: this research will be kinda risky! It is quite difficult to determine if the author of those english-written blogs are really lack of english proficiency, didn’t pay attention to their English teachers, forgot the rules, or they are being informal – so that accuracy are not needed.

This is shameful. How if I trapped in those kind of confusions?

Anyway, next week will be my thesis proposal seminar. I have done quite a lot with this topic. and it seems that my theoretical framework is a kind of 'beating around the bush'. Well, is this my weakness on writing? that I can't be focused, and my ideas are still too general?

I realize that I have to have more discussion with my other friends and seniors who are more expert on this case, so that I can manage my ideas well and everything I write will be directed.
you know my style of writing, I sometimes repeat the same thing again and again, until I realize that the text that I worked on is a scientific one :(

bismillah, hopefully my thesis writing process goes well.

Now I gonna talk about my surprising FB friend. several weeks ago  I added some accounts appearing in 'People you May know' list. I add them without any specific purpose, purely just for collecting friends. do you know what happened next?

one of those new friends is with initial V.V.P. at first I didn't notice who she is until she started a chat with me.
V (her): Hi
A (me): Hi
V: Hey, Y U No reply?
    Mbak, you're a college student, huh?
A: Hei, sorry for long reply,
yes, I am.
V: in what university do u study?
A: in UM, dik.
V: Ooh. My dad is a lecturer in UNMER. --> up to this utterance I feel kinda suspicious. perhaps, I KNOW who V is.
A: Ooo....
V: Mbak, you were a graduate of SMAN 9, huh?
A: Hey, how did you know?
Ah, I forgot I wrote it in my profile
V: Nooooo, I knew it from your teacher.
A: eh, WHO?? --> My suspicion grew bigger. perhaps, this is that-very-dik-V. i think i know this person.
V: It's a secret.
A: Come on! no SMAN 9 teacher whose name is "Secret"
V: try to remember. you know who.
A: hmmmm. (then I observed her profile deeper, and I looked at her photos)
Hey, I know you.
V: Heheheheh
A: So you have met me before? Mein Gott! it's a small world!
V: ahahaha.
A: say my hello to your mom, then.
V: What's the name of my mom, anyway?
A: Hey, who's the only teacher that I gave the cake to on her birthday?
V: Oh, mbak! you have my mom's photo on your album!

DEAR FRIENDS, THIS IS BU RUSNA'S DAUGHTER, AND I BEFRIEND WITH HER! her name is Vivian Fahmanissa, and she is a 5th grader. Up to now, I often have a chat with her, and I support her to keep on fighting on facing the mid term test. Good luck, Vivian! Allah with us.

an attempt to write short story!

Well, I used to write poems. Although I'm not as productive as I was back then. If Bu Rusna's birthday is not coming, I won't write any. So, Bu Rusna is your only motivation to write a poem?
Shame on me (--")
If once I got some inspiration of arranging beautiful words, it's only one or two lines, and they end up as a FB status instead of a good poem that my friends adore. and it is quite rare.

A reason why I prefer writing poems instead of short stories is that everything I wanna express are too random. Once I try to write a short story, it failed to build a conflict. Or, it comes to a very long, not directed writing. Poems are more practical, no conflict needed, free to use any words I want, and it's OK if people don't understand. Ain't it? ahaha.

but, however, as a writer, there must be something to be expressed.
Dear, I want to tell you that legato holds a writing competition - a short story. IN ENGLISH! waw.
I know that I hardly ever write a short story - moreover my English is not that excellent (but I dare to write this English blog! no matter what they would like to think about me, I still write it).
now that I wanna try to participate on such kind of competition. I have an idea on my mind about what my short story is going to be, I've had this concept since I was still an 12th grader. Now that I'm trying to elaborate my mind on writing this short story, Bismillah...

I don't need to be the winner of this contest. I just want to prove that I still have an ability to write, and this time I write a more complicated work... short story.
OK, Start working!
