Percy Jackson and the Olympians 'The Lightning Thief'

Percy Jackson is teenager just like the other boys. But, he has dyslexic and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) which he got many troubles that he did not understand. Percy cannot behave himself and settle down to study. Twelve-year-old and he has been kicked out of a lot of boarding schools. So, the last thing he wants to do is get kicked out of Yancy Academy.

The adventures of Percy Jackson is beginning when he is on trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, things go horribly wrong when he, and his best friend Grover, are attacked by their pre-algebra teacher Mrs. Dodds transforms into one of the three Furies of Greek legend. Percy's Latin teacher, Mr. Brunner, throws to him a magic sword named Anaklusmos, or Riptide, and sends Mrs. Dodds to Tartarus. After the fight, Mr. Brunner is gone and acts like he was never there, and nobody remembers Mrs. Dodds and his best friend Grover Underwood acts strangely. It makes his horribly confused and thinks he’s hallucinating.

For a while Percy was believe that Mrs. Dodds had never existed. Till one night when the weather was going bad, and he did not on his good mood he think about everything strange that happen at the day. And most important that he think is his grades which go down than before. Then, he interrupted to asking Mr. Brunner to help his grades, at least he want to apologize about that. Percy was think he did not want to left the Yancy Academy, there were the things which made him miss in Yancy. When Percy was arrived at Mr. Brunner’s office, he heard about Grover and Mr. Brunner’s conservation about him, and it sounds they worry about him, he is in some kind of danger.

On the next day, after he heard a lot weird about him, he heads back to his mother’s Manhattan apartment, figuring he’ll be kicked out of school yet again. . He doesn’t mention to anyone that he thinks he had monsters chasing him, until Grover shows up at his door, and reveals who he is. Grover told him that he is the satyr portrayed as teenager since satyrs age half as fast as humans, and he has responsibility to protect Percy. That’s why when Percy was going to home, Grover persuade Percy to come with him for his good. On the trip Percy saw the three old ladies with the yarn. But, Percy was left Grover when they reach the bus terminal, he think something was going to make some stupid games about him.

His Mother, Sally Jackson is a kind women who never had any luck in life. She dreams of being a writer, but works at a candy shop to make ends and she has going to married with Gabe Ugliano, a manager at the Electronics Mega-Mart in Queens, but he stayed home most of the time. Percy is really loved his mother, and he think that his Mom should not to marry Smelly Gabe (Percy’s nicked-name him). Percy was very angry and admit his father about left them, then they should stuck their life with Gabe. Sally’s was marry him is because to hiding Percy from the monster who looking for Percy.

When Percy meets Sally, Sally was tell him they will go to the beach. In Montauk beach, she told Percy, she want to send him away, with the reasons Percy could be safe. It could be mistake if she’s still want Percy to keep him close with her, she did not have choice except to send Percy in a Summer Camp. She think it must be good for Percy. At the night, Grover comes to tell them to leave immediately.

A terrible storm rages as they drive to the New York countryside and they are attacked by a Minotaur. In the ensuing fight, the Minotaur takes Sally in a blinding flash of gold light till she was disappears. Enraged, Percy takes one of its horns and kills the Minotaur, passing out from exhaustion shortly afterwards.

He wakes up two days later, healed by nectar and ambrosia, at Camp Half-Blood. Grover reveals himself to be a satyr, and Mr. Brunner to be Chiron the centaur. Grover come to see him, when he woke up. The sadness thing is when he assumed that his mom is died because the battle. It turns out that Percy is a half-blood, the son of a Greek god, and there really are monsters after him, trying to kill him. The safest place is at Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp on Long Island for the children of the gods, so his mother drives Percy and Grover there.

As Percy's divine parent is unknown, he is placed in the Hermes cabin, where all the unclaimed half-bloods stays. In spite of his confusion at the turn of events, Percy enjoys what camp has to offer (races, sword fighting, epic capture the flag games) makes some new friends at camp He meets Luke, a son of Hermes; Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena; and Clarisse La Rue, a daughter of Ares. It feels him better, although he still on mourned.

At camp, Percy learns more about Greek Gods and his father is Poseidon, god of the Sea and brother to Zeus and Hades. Olympus, the home of the Gods are moves with the heart of the civilization, and now hovers invisibly over the Empire State Building, since America is currently the great power of the west. Percy is also learn that Gods still have children with mortals, and that  monster naturally seek out these young demigods.

Percy has been know about the conflict in Olympus. Somebody has stolen Zeus’s Bolt, and the three God mayor is blame for the losing the Zeus’s lightning. Zeus has accused Poseidon, and Zeus thought Poseidon has used Percy to steal the bolt in a plot to overthrow Zeus. And he told Poseidon that the master bolt must be returned to Mount Olympus by the summer solstice; only ten days before he will declare war on Poseidon.

Poseidon is miffed that his brother would accuse him of such a thing. However, he need Percy’s help to find out what really happened to the bolt. Chiron has believes that Hades been stole the Zeus’s bolt. Chiron tells Percy that he should to make a trip to the entrance of the underworld in Los Angeles (by land, since Zeus would blast him out of the sky if he tried to fly) confront Hades, and return the master bolt to Olympus before the solstice passes in order to prevent a war between the gods.

Soon, before Percy was leaving the camp, he came to the Oracle to consult. He was warned that he will fail to save what matters most in the end, and will be betrayed by a friend. Deeply troubled, but believing that the quest to the underworld is the only way to see his mother again, Percy set out with his best friends, Annabeth and Grover. As best friend they need to help Percy too; although they should has to face a big challenge, a terrible force that is more powerful than the power of the Gods themselves.

After defeating several mythological monsters, including Medusa, Echidna, and the Chimera, Percy, Annabeth and Grover find Hades, who has taken Sally but had his Helm of Darkness (his symbol of power) stolen too. Hades also accuses Percy of stealing his helm and threatens to kill Percy and his mother and release all the dead back into the real world. Percy and his friends use magical pearls to transport themselves out of Hades' kingdom. After discovering that Ares has all the stolen items, Percy challenges him to a duel and wins, to his own surprise. When Percy presents the Helm to Hades, Hades realizes that Percy has not stolen it and returns Sally safely.

Then, they return back to the Olympus with the bolt in time to prevent a war. Percy was meets his father, for the first time. Poseidon seems distant and sad, but says he is really proud of Percy. He says he fears Percy has been born for a hero’s tragic fate. Poseidon tells Percy that his mother is back− returned as a peace offering by Hades− and that when Percy returns home, he will have to make an important choice. Percy rushes back to his family’s apartment, where he finds Medusa’s head waiting for him, a trophy he had forgotten mailing home earlier in his quest. He realizes he has the chance to petrify his stepfather and save his mother from a miserable marriage. His mother implores him to not do it, however. She must break away from Gabe herself. Percy respect her wishes, and thus breaks the mold of what the tragic hero might have done. The prophecy thus comes true in an unexpected way; Percy fails to save what matters most by allowing his mother to self herself.

When Percy’s going back to the Camp Half-Blood, Percy is betrayed by his friend Luke, son of Hermes who turns out to be the human hero whom Kronos used for the theft. Luke poisons Percy, and tells him before leaving that Kronos will rise and destroy the age of the Gods. Western Civilization is unraveling.

Percy recovers from poison with Chiron’s help and realizes his adventures are not yet over. He is a hero now and must fight the rise of the Titans.

Joy.

Terbanglah ke angkasa seperti tidak ada yang menunggu di bumi.

Jika ada yang bilang ‘aku tunggu kamu kembali’

Katakan padanya ‘apa jaminannya?’

Dunia ini begitu sempit

Bahkan terlalu sempit untuk menampung kita semua.

Dosa bagaikan setumpuk debu di padang pasir.

Tidakkah mereka memikirkannya?

Aku hampir gila memikirkannya.

Sekalipun aku seperti seekor kodok yang hanya diam saat hujan datang

Asik dengan duniaku sendiri.

Layaknya manusia yang lain.

Yah, mungkin ini yang membuatku sama dengan yang lainnya.

Aku sendiri bahkan hampir tidak bisa melihat kemiripanku sebagai seorang manusia.

Aku berpikir jadi manusia itu membosankan. Egois.

Makanya aku lebih suka menempatkan diri sebagai sesuatu yang aku anggap itu menyenangkan.

Kodok, angin, malam, bulan, bahkan matahari sekalipun.

Kodok terlihat asik saat hujan datang, tanpa peduli ada yang melemparinya batu

Karena berisik dengan nyanyiannya yang aneh itu.

Angin menari bebas dan tak ada satu pun yang bisa menghentikannya.

Malam terlalu tenang untuk pemikiran keras seharian.

Bulan selalu tersenyum dan tertawa bersama bintang-bintang.

Matahari semangatnya tanpa letih dan pamrih menyinari hidup setiap makhluk.

Ah, alangkah indahnya hidup jika kita tau cara menikmatinya;

Dan ini adalah caraku menikmati hidupku ditengah kehidupan yang sangat biasa ini.

Tunas.

Aku tumbuh menjadi satu tunas kecil

Di ujung permukaan tanah

Setelah sekian lama bersembunyi di dalam tanah

Menunggu untuk di sirami air kehidupan dan menyerapnya perlahan

Temanku, para cacing bahkan enggan mendekatiku

Karena keadaanku yang di anggap hanya mengganggu.

Ku tancapkan akar-akarku tepat di atas aku berdiri.

Bersiap memulai semuanya dari awal

Tanpa perlu meniru mereka yang berada di sampingku.

Satu keyakinan tanpa tujuan hidup yang pasti

Membuat daun pertama yang harusnya bermekaran dengan baik

Menjadi layu tak kuat melawan angin dan sinar matahari

Yang datang silih berganti hanya ingin mengujiku.

Berkali-kali aku terjatuh dan hampir mati dalam kesia-siaan

Berkali-kali pula aku tetap mencoba bertahan.

Hujan dan matahari yang menjadi sumber kehidupanku saat itu.

Terkadang saat tangkaiku sudah terlalu lelah menopang tubuhku sendiri

Aku menunduk lemah dan bertanya kepada akar-akarku

‘apakah aku bisa melewati ini semua?’

Mereka tidak menjawab apa-apa.

Aku bosan dan marah akan diriku sendiri

Aku muak melihat mereka selalu tertawa bahagia di sekelilingku

Tanpa bertanya apa yang aku rasakan kala itu

Mungkin kita semua tumbuh besar dan memiliki akar yang kuat

Untuk menopang diri kita

Tapi, ada yang mereka tidak ketahui

Aku bahkan tidak di beri pupuk berkualitas tinggi

Yah, pupuk yang petani itu namai ‘Cinta’...

Pertemuan.

Gerimis menghantarku padamu

Pada pertemuan kita yang santai

Aku suka saat melihat tawamu

Melihat wajahmu saat bercerita

Cerita tentang pengalaman yang mengagumkan.

Kita bercerita banyak malam itu

Bertukar pengalaman

Bahkan aib masing-masing

Tapi itu menyenangkan.

Selangkah lebih dekat lagi denganmu.

Setelah kepergianmu dengan tiba-tiba

Dan kembali pun dengan tiba-tiba.

Entah ini permainan Tuhan

Ataukah memang kita benar-benar sedang di uji

Karna aku percaya,

Semua yang terjadi setiap detiknya adalah rencana-NYA

Kita hanya bisa mengikutinya.

Biarkan air hujan mengalir sebagaimana mestinya...

The Awkward feeling that we called 'LOVE'.

Anyone who has ever felt the name of love. we are in this world because of the love of our parents, and the love of God to us of course. We also give life to feel the love of parents, friends, our couples, and our environment. When we fell in love, we will be smiling all day and everything will feel so wonderful.

The word "love" can have a variety of related but distinct meanings in different contexts. Often, other languages use multiple words to express some of the different concepts that English relies mainly on "love" to encapsulate; one example is the plurality of Greek words for "love." Cultural differences in conceptualizing love thus make it doubly difficult to establish any universal definition.

A person can be said to love an object, principle, or goal if they value it greatly and are deeply committed to it. Similarly, compassionate outreach and volunteer workers' "love" of their cause may sometimes be born not of interpersonal love, but impersonal love coupled with altruism and strong spiritual or political convictions People can also "love" material objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding or otherwise identifying with those things. If sexual passion is also involved, this condition is calledparaphilia.

Interpersonal love refers to love between human beings. It is a more potent sentiment than a simple liking for another. Unrequited love refers to those feelings of love that are not reciprocated. Interpersonal love is most closely associated with interpersonal relationships^. Such love might exist between family members, friends, and couples. There are also a number of psychological disorders related to love, such as erotomania.

And we are broken, can know the hubbub, perhaps among adults are not familiar with these words. But among teens is not foreign. Hubbub slang to describe a condition where a person feels depressed, sad, confused and usually occurs in adolescents who are going through a time of self. Although it is possible frequently experienced by adults. We also must have felt and experienced confusion, either because of the troubled romance, family, works, values ​​ruined lectures, assignments and much more. We may as humans are always faced with such problems, it has become commonplace. confusion that is common to many of the problems among adolescent romance. For teenagers, it's not unusual to experience a feeling called confusion, because they still have the unstable nature.

Music; Art of Life.

Music is sound organized in such a way that it contains ryhthm, song, and harmony. Music can be generated through the tools that can produce the sounds. Music is a kind of phenomenon of intuition to create, fix something in the form of art.

Music is known since 180.000 years ago. Archaelogical of discoveries on the African continent, some facts show evolutionary changes of the human brain thinking. With the ability of the brain, they can think farther up beyond reason and spiritual reach. Language to communicate has been established between them. The language and a simple greeting for danger signs and provide the names of animals, some slowly emerging vocabulary for naming objects and name calling for someone.

Humans express their feelings of fear and joy using sounds. Tinkering with their sound into a song, hymn or song lyrics inspired by small bird chirp. Wood and rock hard hit to remove noise and exciting rhythms. Maybe they had inadvertenly knocked a hollow tree trunk in it with a stick that emits strong. They used animal skins as clothing placed too close to the cavity of the timber into a drum.

B.J. Habibie.

I want to explain about my best inspiration ever! He is B.J Habibie, he was born on 25 june 1937 in Parepare, South Sulawesi Province. His parents Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie and R. A. Tuti Marini Puspowardojo.

Habibie continued his studies in Jakarta and then in 1955 moved to Germany. In 1960, Habibie received a degree in engineering in Germany, giving him the title Diplom-Ingenieur. He remained in Germany as a research assistant under Hans Ebner at the Lehrstuhl und Institut für Leichtbau, RWTH Aachen to conduct research for his doctoral degree.

In 1962, Habibie returned to Indonesia for three months on sick leave. During this time, he was reacquainted with Hasri Ainun, the daughter of R. Mohamad Besari. Habibie had known Hasri Ainun in childhood, junior high school and in senior high school at SMA-Kristen, Bandung. The two married on 12 May 1962, returning to Germany shortly afterwards.Habibie and his wife settled in Aachen for a short period before moving to Oberforstbach. In May 1963 they had a son, Ilham Akbar Habibie.

When Habibie's minimum wage salary forced him into part-time work, he found employment with the automotive marque Talbot, where he became an adviser. Habibie worked on two projects which received funding from Deutsche Bundesbahn.

In 1965, Habibie delivered his thesis in aerospace engineering and received the grade of "very good" for his dissertation, giving him the title Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften. During the same year, he accepted Hans Ebner's offer to continue his research on Thermoelastisitas and work toward his Habilitation, but he declined the offer to join RWTH as a professor per se. His thesis about light construction for supersonic or hypersonic states also attracted offers of employment from companies such as Boeing and Airbus, which Habibie again declined.

In 1974, Suharto recruited Habibie to return to Indonesia as part of Suharto's drive to industrialize and develop the country. Habibie initially served as a secial assistant to Ibnu Sutowo, the CEO of state oil company Pertamina. Two years later, in 1976, Habibie was made Chief Executive Officer of the new state-owned enterprise Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara (IPTN).(In 1985, PT. Nurtanio changed its name to Indonesian Aviation Industry and is now known as Indonesian Aerospace Inc. (Dirgantara)). In 1978, he was appointed as Minister of Resesarch and Technology. He continued to play an important role in IPTN other "strategic" industries in this post. By the 1980s, IPTN had grown considerably, specializing in the manufacture of helicopters and small passenger planes; by 1991, Habibie oversaw ten state-owned industries including ship- and train-building, steel, arms, communications, and energy. A 1993 estimate determined that the estimates used nearly $2 billion a year in state funding, although the government's opaque accounting practices meant that the size of the industries was not completely known. Habibie became a pilot, assisted in his training by A.B. Wolff, former chief of staff of the Dutch Air Force. In 1995, he flew an N-250 (dubbed GatotKoco) commuter plane.

In developing Indonesia's aviation industry, he adopted an approach called "Begin at the End and End at the Beginning". In this method, elements such as basic research became the last things upon which to focus, whilst actual manufacturing of the planes was placed as the first objective. Under Habibie's leadership, IPTN became a manufacturer of aircraft including Puma helicopters and Cassa planes. It pioneered a small passenger airplane, the N-250 Gatokaca, in 1995, but the project was a commercial failure.

These are just some of the charismatic BJ Habibie, who I admire greatly, knows how to explain it. composure, his principles, decisiveness, and his love of Indonesia and his family, as well as discretion. His figure was so much fun, and I really loved when he spoke, he was telling me something like pity if passed could be a good lesson for us in the future. Although I do not really know his further journey. I hope to be the best for the family and for this country like him, and maybe it would be nice if it had a husband like BJ Habibie hehehe. YOU ARE AWESOME SIR!!!
