Kelly Clarkson – Mr. Know It All

mr. know it all
well you think you know it all
but you don’t know a thing at all
ain’t it something y’all
when somebody tells you something ’bout you
think that they know more than you do
so you take it down, another pill to swallow

mr. bring me down
well you like to bring me down, don’t ya?
but i ain’t laying down
baby i ain’t going down
can’t nobody tell me how it’s gonna be
nobody’s gonna make a fool out of me
babe, you should know that i lead, not follow

[chorus]
oh you think that you know me
that’s why i’m leaving you lonely
‘cause babe, you don’t know a thing about me
you don’t know a thing about me
you ain’t got the right to tell me
when and where to go, no right to tell me
acting like you own me lately
yeah, baby, you don’t know a thing about me
you don’t know a thing about me

mr. play your games
only got yourself to blame
when you want me back again
but i ain’t fallin’ back again
‘cause i’m living my truth without your lies
let’s be clear, baby – this is goodbye
i ain’t comin’ back tomorrow

[chorus]

so what, you’ve got the world at your feet
and you know everything about everything
but you don’t
you still think i’m comin’ back but baby, you’ll see

[chorus]

mr. know it all
well you think you know it all
but you don’t know a thing at all
yeah, baby, you don’t know a thing about me
you don’t know a thing about me

Kelly Clarkson – Stronger

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you’ve had enough the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I’d come running back
Baby, you don’t know me, ’cause you’re dead wrong
Chorus:
What doesn’t kill makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill makes you fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over ’cause you’re gone
Bridge:
What doesn’t kill makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on over you
You didn’t think I’d come back
I’d come back swinging
You tried to break me, but you see
Chorus:
What doesn’t kill makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill makes you fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over ’cause you’re gone
Bridge:
What doesn’t kill makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’ kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I’m not broken-hearted
Thanks to you I’m finally thinking ’bout me
You know in the end the day you left is just my beginning
In the end

Comment : What a beautiful Indonesia!! Too much beautiful things in Indonesia. As I know, Indonesia has more than one million type/style of Batik. Every provinces in Java Island has their own type/style of Batik. It’s really show us that Indonesia has a characteristic that we can remind about Indonesia. But unfortunately, there’re still not too concerned about the wealth owned by Indonesia.

Dahlan Iskan Sisihkan Gaji untuk Pak Raden

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Menteri Negara BUMN Dahlan Iskan akan membantu beban hidup drs. Suyadi yang lebih dikenal sebagai Pak Raden, pencipta karakter, film dan boneka Si Unyil. Dahlan bahkan rela menyisihkan gaji bulanannya untuk menghidupi Pak Raden.

Kebetulan Pak Raden masih hidup membujang, meski usianya sekarang sudah mencapai 79 tahun. Pak Raden juga tidak memiliki anak, meski anak angkat. Sehingga Pak Raden lebih suka hidup sendiri dan melakukan kegiatan sehari-harinya sendiri. "Saya akan usahakan penghasilan bulanannya," kata Dahlan di kediaman Pak Raden di Slipi Jakarta, Jumat (20/4/2012).

Dahlan menganggap bantuan itu adalah hal yang wajar. Apalagi bantuan itu juga tidak terlalu besar.
Sehari-hari, Pak Raden diperkirakan hanya akan mengeluarkan ongkos untuk biaya pengobatan, biaya untuk pembantu, makan minum dan mungkin hanya untuk keperluan kecil lainnya.

Sebelumnya, Dahlan Iskan silaturahim ke kediaman Pak Raden di Jalan Petamburan III No 57 Slipi Jakarta Barat setelah sholat Jumat di masjid dekat rumah Pak Raden.

Kedatangan Dahlan Iskan tidak melalui protokoler resmi dan bahkan tidak masuk dalam jadwal resmi kegiatan Menteri Negara BUMN.

Comment : I think it’s not a strange thing. In Indonesia, when a people has one achivement that make an influences for their country. They just remind when Pak Raden give our children education from his doll that called Unyil. I’m proud with my childhood, because when my childhood has so many television program that made us entertain with that program. let Pak Raden has been credited with advancing the perbonekaan industry in Indonesia, the world's scientists Indonesia in which there were people, they are given less attention to advance research or life. Not strange that they would prefer out to foreign country, migration from this Indonesia. Don’t knows what this government is actually looking for, but I am proud of Mr. Dahlan Iskhan who have put aside some money to help Pak Raden which is required to be helped.

Rolling In The Deep - Adele Adkins

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.

Strategies/steps in answering the listening section on TOEFL test

Concentrate with listening section, structure, writing and reading. Not too focused to learn vocabulary. Learn some new vocabulary can become a useless thing, because sometime it not show on the test. It probably happen, because vocabulary system in English are too big and there’re a thousands word that has probably show on the test. Its better to practice listening and reading because as much as we practice listening, our skill will be good, like listening some English song or watch some HBO movie with or without subtitles.

Practice listening with listen some news or weather report in English on TV or Radio, documentary film and watch some English education on air, it will help us to improve our listening skill. We can join some English club or conversation club or we can join with some people who use American English, because TOEFL is the test that use American English, not British English.

Listening section that use some dialogue (Listening Part B)

1. read the choice on paper test before we’re listening the dialogue thet not begin yet. It will help us to understand the dialogue.
2. focuse with the first line of the dialogue. In the first line from the dialogue, it probably the main idea, subject or topics from the dialogue, because it will be asked in different listening section.
3. when our ears hear the dialogue, in the same times our eyes must see that answer choice on paper test and try to choose a correct answer.
4. if we not sure with the answer, we must try to guess it. Never make a blank answer, it must be answered. Wrong answer can’t decrease our score, because in TOEFL test, just the right answer will be counted.
5. if there’re more times after answer the question, read it again for next question. Time interval for every question, its about 8-12 seconds, so use the residue time  for read the answer that we choose.

Listening section that use short dialogue (Listening Part A)

1.       when we hear that short dialogue, we just focuse with the second people or the second line from that dialogue. Sometimes, we can find the answer for that short dialogue in the second line or the second people from that dialogue.

2.       remember. Repeated sentence from the second line on the dialogue it probably the keyword for the right answer. So, watch out for the repeated sentence.

3.       remember for the structure and the expression :

• restatemerits (Pengulangan Kalimat)
• negatives sentences (Kalimat Negatives)
• suggestions (Saran)
• passives sentences (Kalimat Pasif)
• conclusions about who and where (Kesimpulan tentang Who/Siapa dan Where/Dimana)
• expressions of agreement (Ekpresi tentang persetujuan)
3. the question usually begin from the easiest to the more difficult.
4. if we not sure with the answer, we must try to guess it. Never make a blank answer, it must be answered. Wrong answer can’t decrease our score, because in TOEFL test, just the right answer will be counted.
5. even we don’t understand with the question, we can answer it.
• if we just understand some word from the dialogue on the second line/second people, choose the repeated sentences.
• If we’re really don’t understand with the dialogue on the second line/second people, choose the answer that has a different/freak sentence when we hear it.
• Don’t choose the answer that has a same sentence with the expression in the dialogue on the second line.
