Finding a True Friend

            All people in this world always need a friend. Friend has deep meaning inside it rather than just a simple word. Friend is someone that always understands and reminds you when you do something wrong. A true friend can know your situation even you do not tell it. A true friend directly will know your condition from your face or your simple words. The important thing is a true friend never hurts her/his friend consciously. A true friend always knows how to make her or his friend laugh rather than cry.  Even though I never have been hurt by my best friends, I have also an experience when I suggested one of my friends in E class who was always hurt by her friend to speak out and finish that problem in a good way. As I look back, I realized that a simple wrong attitude could hurt your friend and change your whole life.

            Dayu Madriani and Rose are my friends in E class. Rose thought that Dayu Madriani was her close friend but Dayu Madriani did not think so. Even Rose thought that Dayu Madriani was her close friend, she always hurt Dayu Madriani and did not understand Dayu Madriani’s feeling. According to Dayu Madriani, she said that Rose is a moody, egoist, and childish person who can make people beside her feel uncomfortable. Rose always did something that could hurt Dayu Madriani’s feeling without regretting what she had done. She could get angry with Dayu Madriani without a reasonable reason and did not speak at Dayu Madriani for several days. The awkward thing is that she could smile and laugh at Dayu Madriani without any explanation how could she smile at Dayu Madriani after getting angry with Dayu Madriani for several days. Rose could get angry with a simple thing easily and directly she would angry with Dayu. At that time, Dayu Madriani only knew how to cry rather than how to speak out. I really disappointed with Rose’s attitudes and then I suggested Dayu Madriani to speak out to make Rose know and realize what she had done.

            After suggesting Dayu Madriani to speak out, she wanted to do that. I told her that she should tell Rose what she had done, how her feeling was, and some suggestion to make Rose realize about her attitudes. In the fact, Rose reaction was different from Dayu Madriani and my expectation. She did not realize what she had done and she thought that she never did something wrong. She also felt that she never hurt Dayu Madriani’s feeling. Dayu Madriani got very angry and she decided not to be as close as before with Rose. Dayu Madriani thought that it was enough to be hurt by Rose.

            Now, Dayu Madriani has already found her own best friends like Ita and Eno. Ita and Eno never hurt Dayu Madriani’s feeling. Dayu Madriani is always happy. Rose’s life is different from Dayu Madriani’s life. Now, she does not have any close friend in our class or outside the class. The important thing is she still hurts someone’s feeling with her own attitudes. In E class, she is very famous because of her attitudes. Finally, wrong attitudes of Rose that hurt Dayu Madriani could change whole life of Rose.    

WHEN I WAS ONE AND EIGHT

What was it like to live as same as a beast in Beauty and the Beast story? Disney, in Beauty and the Beast story, answer this question by explaining the Beast’s life who is not as perfect as the others but he can still get his true love from Beauty. Although I never get a true love that can change my whole world like Beast, I have an experience like a beast in that story. I have felt when it was hard to know that I did not as perfect as other girls like a beast. As I look back at the incident, I realized that my simple desire could change my whole world and destiny.

In 2012, I was 18 years old and I was 72 kg for one year since I graduated from my high school. I became so fat because of my boyfriend. My boyfriend in that time always invited me to eat everything which was so yummy and delicious. That was why I only knew how to eat those delicious and yummy foods every time and everywhere I saw it. Eating a lot of foods made me fat. I did not realize whether I was fat actually. Until I found my boyfriend had another girl that he loved. She is so beautiful, and of course slimmer than me. I only knew that it was hard and painful. I always knew how to cry rather than how to eat at that time. I only wanted to get slimmer so I could make my ex-boyfriend regret what he had done for me.

I started to get my body slim by doing exercise, such as skipping. At the first time, I only did it about 250 times every morning and night. I did not eat rice for my breakfast, lunch or dinner but I chose to eat vegetables and fruits. The important thing in getting slimmer is commitment from my self. I believed on my self and of course I will success to reach my simple desire. It was almost 4 months and I still did skipping about 1000 times every morning and night before I went to sleep.  Some people believed that I could not lose my weight. Although they thought that it was impossible, I always did it without thinking about what people said.

After 4 months doing  my routines by skipping and only eating vegetables or fruits everyday without thinking that it was so hard or not easy to do, I found that I lost my weight.  I was 57 kg. Oh God, I did it even it was so hard. I am so happy to have this new body. Until now, I only eat vegetables or fruits without rice and doing skipping exercise to keep my body not as fat as before. My family and friends are also happy seeing me like what I am today. Some of my friends also ask me what my tips and tricks are to lose my weight.

Now, I am 19 years old and I am 52 kg. I lost my weight about 20 kg for 8 months. After getting slimmer, I got be so close again with my ex-boyfriend but I chose not to be so close with him because I thought that I was too afraid to be hurt again. As the result, I choose the other boy as my boyfriend. I hope that I can get my true love like Beast who gets true love from someone that he really loves. Finally my simple desire actually can change my whole world and destiny.
