Storytelling Time!

Hello! back to me again Raishaa! now im gonna tell you about my storytelling time with my friends, Nanette, Denis and Azhra. Okay soo let's get start!

In the first session, Nanette was told us a story about " The Little Red Riding Hood" and moral value that i got was " don't ever talk with strangers" i guess that's a good point. because nowadays, soo many criminals that caused by talk with strangers.

In the second session, me, raishaa was told a story about " The Legend Of Maribaya" here's a point of the story.

Once upon a time, lived Eyang Raksa Dinata who had 5 children. He was poor, so he was worried about his only daughter, Maribaya. In order to make maribaya happy, he meditated in Tangkuban Perahu for 7 days and 7 nights. Until one night, he heard a mystical voices, and he got 2 coopers with wide rim filled with water. He was told to bring the cooper to the west and east side of forest. After he heard that command, he went home to complete the task. After 2 until 3 days, in the place that he poured the water from the cooper, a hot spring mineral water was coming out of the ground. The water was believed as a magical water that could cured all of diseases. Since that moment, many people came to that places for heal all diseases and have recreation. He got a lot of money from that, so he could make his children, including Maribaya happy. To remember his late only daughter, Eyang Raksa Dinata named that place Maribaya.

I think the moral value in " The Legend of Maribaya" is " If you really love someone, you will never stop fighting to make it work"

In the third session, Azhra was told us a story about " A Rabbit and A Turtle "and moral value that i got was " never underestimate people" and " don't judge people by its cover"

In the fourth session, Denis was told us a story about " The foolish Donkey " and the moral value that i got was " don't be a lazy person"

That's all from me , thank you very much, and see you !!

For your information, Nadia is my friend. Me and Nadia are friends since we sat on junior high school. We studied at the same school, SMPN 2 Bandung. fortunately, we have been in the same class at grade 9. So, we have been know each other when we sat in the same class in grade 10 in SMAN 3 Bandung.

here's my picture with nadia

Back to the point, Nadia was told me about her unforgettable moment. She says that when she was in elementary school, she likes to mocking her boy friend. mocking like " he likes a girl at the senior grade" but in fact, he wasn't like that girl, and Nadia was admit that her friend are wasn't like that girl.
but she enjoyed to mock her boy friend HAHAHA!

Until one day, Nadia was mocking him and suddenly he was CRIED! All her friends was blame at her because she was mocking her friend until he was cried. And then, she was lectured by her teacher, and she ask to apologize to him by shaking hand.

By the time, Nadia realized that her friend is like to her.

The Places That I Want To Visit

Hey fellas!! It’s me again, raishaa ! now im gonna tell youu about the place that i want to visit.

Everyone has a desire to visit a places that we like, including me too! Honestly, i want to visit the moon:) . you all must be confused, why i want to visit the moon! HEHEHE, i think Moon is a place that no one will ever know me and a place that in here we can see the moment when “earthrise” . In fact, if we were at outer space, we have no weight and we can fly!! It’s because in outer space, there’s no gravity. In wikipedia, gravity are defined by  a natural phenomenon by which all things with energy are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including stars, planets, galaxies and even light and sub-atomic particles.

Here’s a picture of “earthrise”

And it was photographed by: William Sanders in 1968.

By the time, ordinary people maybe can be so easy to visit the moon, perhaps in that time.. i will probably very old or maybe dead HAHAHA!

To be realistic, soo im gonna tell youu the places that i want to visit in our beloved planet, Earth. There are three country that i want to visit.

First, i want to visit Japan, or well known as Land of the Rising Sun. One of my reason is in japan, there is a city that inside of it some of the visitors are wearing a cute outfits!!

And the name of the city is Tokyo, precisely in the Takeshita street or well known as “Harajuku”. Formerly, this area is an inn (juku) for the travelers in the area of Kamakura. This is where the Harajuku name comes from

In here we can shopping and hangout with a cup of matcha lattes, YUMMYY!!

There are a snaps for takeshita street

Cool isn’t ? hehehe!

And for the second country, France. Pricesly i want to visit “ the city of love” PARIS !

The reason why i want to visit this city ? Because, im very attracted by the citizen in there, they was like have an interesting lifestyle, tastefully dressed and behavior. Beside of the french citizen, there was another reason why i want to visit this city, and that is the beauty of the scenery in Paris. Paris is not limited as to the wide range of culinary, antique markets, and exclusive shopping area. Even when you take a walk along the bridge, you will never know the other interesting things that you can find.

This is a snap of the scenery in paris

Well, the last but not least.. i want to visit THAILAND!!!!

Guess, what is my first reason to visit Thailand ?

Just because, i love a film that was producted from thailand. The title of that film is  “ A Crazy Little Thing Called Love” omg that film was make me sooo sad and happy in the same time !!
Thailand well known as siam, and honestly i want to visit the bangkok city. Did you know that bangkok is not a real name of the city. The real name of bangkok city is Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit. HAHAHA (P.S YOU MUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH BEFORE YOU WANT TO READ THIS)

Anyway, i’m kinda of people that love to shopping! Soo i want to visit thailand because in here, you can find many of clothes that very cheap and good qualities.

In thailand, there’s a place that we can find so many stuff , and there’s a Chatuchak Weekend Market.

In Chatuchak Weekend Market, you can find clothing, animals, books, plants, artifacts, even there are also available such as ceramics, unique baskets, antiques, various home decor, shoes, handicrafts, silver jewelery to household appliances.

Soo..this is my first post,and now I'm gonna tell you about my self

My name is Raisha Az Zahra, I was born in Bandung, on May 5th 2001. My family live in Puri Asri 3 Srikandi street number 10, Kuningan, West Java. and for my self, i live in Cisaranten kulon street, in D'Casa Grande number 53. I live in Bandung all alone. do you believe it ? i live in Bandung all alone for 3 years and still counting.. my parents say that they want to make me a strong girl that could handle all situations all alone. beside that reason, there's a reason that make me moving to this city, that's because i want to reach my dream to be a doctor . but until this time, I'm still confused about the scopes, between being a pediatrician or maybe an Otolaryngologist doctor.

My favorites foods are nasi padang and risoles, because its so delicious! and my favorites drinks are milk and tea,

My hobbies are singing, according to my opinion. sing can makes me feel happy and calm. because im a type of person that can get easily panic. 

my second hobbies are listening music, why can i love listening music so much ? because music can say things that words simply can't,

my third hobbies are watching movies! i always lovee to watching movies with my family and my bestfriends because i'd love to spend my free time for my beloved people.

That's all from me, thank you for your attention,bye!
