Rocking: the De’ Ranch De Ranch is like a farm of horses that has a many activities whether you a kid or an adult it serves as a tourist attraction for all ages. But most of the activity serves for the kids, like fishing, boating, finding gold, color painting and many more . But the highlight of De ranch is riding a horse, of course for the benefit of the management we paid for a ticket. We used or borrowed some cowboys dress so called chaleco and a piece of hat of it. And we just ride in a horse in just 1 round, because 1 round is enough for me I understand what’s the situation of the horses then, because they don’t have any rest of all even just a short period of time to have a rest for the horses. This is so amazing, my first time to ride a horse in Bandung. Fun Fun Fun ♥♥♥

It is a traditional musical instrument that is made up of bamboo pipes and per angklung instrument has a different sounds of music it’s like piano too that it has different notes when played.

Kawah Putih: The jaw dropping volcanic crater of Bandung Stunning, marvelous scenery… That is how I describe the Kawah Putih, one of the famous tourists spot in Bandung, before we saw the volcanic crater, we drive up in a narrow road, in a very cold mountain that we get a chill-bone feeling. As we across the narrow head road, we ended up in our destination. As we walked through the aisle, a strong sulfuric air came out from the crater. Place oneself at the front of the crater, the Kawah Putih is stunning, the white sand, the mint green lake of it and the moist that touches the lake, it was perfect even though it is raining, we can feel the breeze of the wind. This kind of transportation to Kawah Putih However, you cannot stay here in a long period of time especially when you are first time to visit the Kawah Putih because of the strong odor that comes from the crater. You can also see that everyone has masks. But for me, I’m just fine with it especially when y

FARM HOUSE V ia Angkot is our transportation, driving up in the narrow roads we ended up in the Farm House, at the same time this is one of the tourist spot in Bandung. I also browsed in the internet what it looks like before we went at the Farm House and it says that there is like a Hobbit House inside of it and you can rent also the costume of Europe to enjoy the western scenery of Farm House. I thought it was a certain place that we must go first but after we pay our entrance fee they gave us milk or in Bahasa they called it “Susu”. You can choose it base from their flavor like strawberry, chocolate or the plain one.  Milky-sip!            As we walk to the aisle, we saw a European House which is very beautiful with those architectural designs of it.

Observation and My Experience in Teaching D oing observations has a really big impact to me; this is very common for us to observe first before we will execute teaching to the students. In teaching you must know your students first on how or what they want in learning, to be attracted or to attach to them so that you can get their interests. It is also not only the observation for the students but also with the teacher also, to know how the teacher teach the students, what are the strategies to give to them so that they can easily learn, and on how to instruct the students when giving an activities or assessments.   M y cooperating teacher introduced to me that they have three subjects in Social Studies or social science; they have business study, creativity and social studies. She allows me to teach the social studies and business study and the grade level that I will be teaching is grade 9 and 8.

Deployment Day On weekdays here in Bandung they also keep in talking about the traffic jam, but they do not know the traffic jam in the Manila, Philippines where it is worse than here in Bandung. The traffic jam in Bandung is that the cars can move slowly, but in Manila especially in rush hour the cars can’t move as what is happening here in Bandung so it’s better to walk than to take a car or taxi in the road. Deploying to another school especially in another country gives me an ambivalent feeling like half of it is being excited and nervous. Excited because I will be meeting and teaching some students again and also eager to know how the structure or the physical setting of the school would look like.        SMP Pelita Nusantara, one of the International schools in Bandung. SMP Pelita Nusantara is not only an international school they have also give military training for those who wants to be a future militant. They are not requiring to join but for those who a
