[S. B. Yudhoyono @SBYudhoyono]

Kok jadi begini negara kita. Kok begini liar politik kita. Sepertinya untuk mendapatkan kekuasaan (political power) cara apapun dibenarkan. Tidak peduli baik atau buruk. Bermoral atau tidak bermoral. Saya khawatir kalau akhirnya rakyat merasa takut dan tidak tenteram hidup di negaranya sendiri.  

Sebagai warga bangsa yang sangat mencintai negeri ini, seperti juga warga negara Indonesia yang lain, saya bermohon kepada Presiden Prabowo untuk menghidupkan kembali politik yang berkeadaban. Ini panggilan sejarah. Ini amanah rakyat. Semoga Tuhan memberikan kekuatan dan tuntunan kepada Pak Prabowo untuk menjalankan misi mulia ini.

[Nat & Ver @NarasiVisual]

Kemarin aku nemu study hacks yang isinya gini:

1. Jangan baca isi materi pelajarannya. Cukup judul dan sub-judulnya aja.

2. Dari judul itu, tebak isinya. Tuliskan asumsimu jadi paragraf singkat.

3. Baca teks aslinya, bandingkan dengan yang kamu tulis.

Kedengarannya metode ini ngaco.
Tapi di balik cara 'sengaja salah' ini, ada mekanisme neurobiologi yang justru nge-trigger dopamin dan bangun memori jangka panjang.

Kok bisa salah tebak malah bikin otak kita kerja?

Common English Idioms

🔹In the nick of time
= Just in time; at the very last moment before it is too late.
Example:
The ambulance arrived in the nick of time and saved the man’s life.
✍️Tip: Use it when something almost doesn’t happen but succeeds at the final second.

🔹Make ends meet
= To have just enough money to pay for your basic needs (food, rent, bills).
Example:
After losing her job, it was hard for Maria to make ends meet.
✍️Tip: Often used with “struggle to” or “barely.” It does not mean “meet someone at the end of the day.”

🔹A blessing in disguise
= Something that first seems bad or unlucky but later turns out to be good.
Example:
Losing that job was a blessing in disguise; I found a much better one.
✍️Tip: The “disguise” hides the good side at the beginning.

🔹Call it a day
= To stop working (usually for the rest of the day).
Example:
We’ve finished the main tasks, so let’s call it a day and go home.
✍️Tip: Very common in offices and workplaces. Similar idea: “That’s a wrap” (more for film/TV).

🔹On cloud nine
= Extremely happy or excited.
Example:
She was on cloud nine after she got accepted into her dream university.
✍️Tip: “Cloud nine” is the highest happy level. You can also say “over the moon” or “on top of the world.”

🔹Go through fire and water
= To face any difficulty or danger for someone or something.
Example:
He would go through fire and water to protect his family.
✍️Tip: This is a bit less common than “go through hell and high water,” but the meaning is the same; you endure anything.

🔹Turn a deaf ear
= To deliberately ignore someone or refuse to listen.
Example:
The manager turned a deaf ear to the employees’ complaints.
✍️Tip: It shows intentional refusal, not just that you didn’t hear.

🔹Leave no stone unturned
= To try every possible method or search everywhere.
Example:
The police left no stone unturned in their search for the missing child.
✍️Tip: Often used when someone is very thorough in an investigation or effort.

🔹Bite the bullet
= To face a difficult or painful situation with courage.
Example:
I didn’t want to study all night, but I bit the bullet and finished the project.
✍️Tip: The image of biting a bullet comes from old times when soldiers did this during surgery without painkillers.

🔹A drop in the ocean
= A very small amount that is not enough to make a real difference.
Example:
My donation is just a drop in the ocean compared with what the charity needs.
✍️Tip: Emphasizes how small something is relative to the total need.

✍️Quick Tips✍️
🔸Try to use one new idiom each day in a real sentence (speaking or writing).
🔸Notice them in movies, songs, and conversations; many appear more often than you expect.
🔸Don’t translate them word-for-word into your language; learn the whole phrase as one unit.
🔸Practice with a partner: one person says a situation, the other chooses the best idiom.
