SBmart

SBmart berdiri pada tanggal 3 Agustus 2010 atau 22 Sya’ban 1431 H. Pendirian SBmart dilatarbelakangi oleh rasa rindu akan hadirnya sarana belanja bagi masyarakat umum yang betul-betul memihak masyarakat umum baik konsumen, pedagang serta pelaku ekonomi di lingkungan sekitar SBmart. SBmart memiliki nuansa yang berbeda dengan minimarket-minimarket yang sudah ada, juga memiliki filosofi dan orientasi yang berbeda.

SBmart adalah salah satu unit usaha dari Koperasi Sejahtera Bersama yang bergerak dalam bidang perdagangan kebutuhan pokok yang diharapkan dapat menyediakan kebutuhan pokok sehari-hari bagi anggota / calon anggota koperasi dan masyarakat pada umumnya dengan kualitas baik dan harga yang terjangkau serta menjadi pembina bagi toko-toko kecil yang dimiliki masyarakat disetiap daerah.

Seiring dengan maraknya bisnis ritel minimarket di Indonesia, SBmart hadir dalam melayani masyarakat dengan nuansa gerai yang berbeda. Baik dalam hal suasana belanja, tampilan, ataupun produk-produk yang dijual didalamnya. SBmart tidak menjual minuman keras serta barang-barang haram lainnya sehingga SBmart sangat bersahabat dengan keluarga Indonesia. Di SBmartpun dijual barang dagangan yang khas seperti Habbatusauda, air Zam-Zam, jus kurma, peralatan shalat, serta buku-buku islam membuat SBmart terlihat sangat kental dengan nuansa Islamnya. Dengan variasi produk lebih dari 4.000 item barang dagangan, serta diperkuat dengan nuansa Islami dan Sistem Teknologi Informasi (IT) yang mumpuni, diharapkan masyarakat dapat mengandalkan keberadaan SBmart di lingkungannya masing-masing sebagai penyedia kebutuhan pokok sehari-hari, terlebih lagi SBmart menyediakan variasi buah lebih banyak khususnya buah-buah lokal.

SBmart memiliki program-program yang sangat berpihak kepada pedagang kecil serta pelaku usaha dilingkungan sekitar SBmart, yaitu dengan program Rak Kemitraan, Muhasaba (Mitra Usaha Sejahtera Bersama), serta Harga Anggota. Rak kemitraan digunakan sebagai sarana untuk menampung produk-produk baik itu berupa makanan, kerajinan dan lain sebagainya yang dihasilkan oleh masyarakat sekitar gerai SBmart berada. Oleh karena itu rencana ekspansi SBmart diarahkan untuk dapat menjangkau sampai ke pelosok daerah. Dengan program-program tersebut diharapkan SBmart menjadi pembina bagi toko-toko kecil yang dimiliki masyarakat disetiap daerah serta dapat betul-betul menjadi minimarket yang mampu bersaing dan mensejahterakan setiap anggota / calon anggota Koperasi Sejahtera Bersama dan masyarakat luas pada umumnya.

Dalam menjalankan usahanya, SBmart memegang teguh prinsip-prinsip Koperasi yang diorientasikan untuk dapat membantu, memperkokoh dan mengembangkan perekonomian masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan ekonomi dan sosial dari masyarakat itu sendiri. SBmart memiliki Anggota Koperasi yang sangat banyak dan tersebar diseluruh Indonesia. Layaknya filosofi perekonomian koperasi “dari anggota untuk anggota”, SBmart memberikan harga khusus kepada anggotanya. Harga yang sangat murah ini diharapkan mampu memberikan loyalitas lebih kepada anggota untuk berbelanja dan memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari di SBmart. Semakin sering anggota berbelanja di SBmart maka semakin besar SHU yang dinikmati.

Akan tetapi target market SBmart tidaklah melulu anggota, target utama adalah keluarga muslim dari kalangan menengah. Oleh karena itu SBmart didirikan dengan motto Nyaman dan Ideal. Pendirian gerai-gerai SBmart selalu mempertimbangkan kondisi tersebut. Mulai dari parkiran yang luas, tampilan gerai yang bersih, lorong belanja yang lebar, pelayanan yang ramah, penyediaan trolley belanja dan lain sebagainya. Tersedianya harga yang sesuai dengan seluruh target market SBmart diharapkan mampu memuaskan seluruh konsumen sehingga SBmart Ideal bagi semua kalangan.

Dengan cepatnya pertumbuhan gerai dan tepatnya posisi dari gerai itu sendiri, maka besar harapan kami SBmart dapat berkembang dengan cepat dan baik, serta menjadi tempat belanja yang nyaman dan ideal sesuai dengan visi dan misinya dalam melayani masyarakat.

KOPERASI

Koperasi adalah sebuah organisasi bisnis yang dioperasikan demi kepentingan bersama. Kegiatan koperasi didasari prinsip gerakan ekonomi rakyat yang berdasarkan asas kekeluargaan.
PRINSIP KOPERASI
Prinsip koperasi adalah suatu gagasan untuk membangun koperasi yang efektif dan tahan lama. Prinsip koperasi terbaru yang dikembangkan Federasi koperasi non-pemerintah internasional adalah keanggotaan yang bersifat terbuka dan sukarela, pengelolaan yang demokratis, partisipasi anggota dalam ekonomi, kebebasan dan otonomi, serta pengembangan pendidikan, pelatihan, dan informasi.
SEJARAH KOPERASI
Sejarah koperasi bermula pada abad ke-20. Koperasi tumbuh dari kalangan rakyat, ketika penderitaan dalam lapangan ekonomi dan sosial yang ditimbulkan oleh sistem kapitalisme semakin memuncak. Beberapa orang terdorong oleh penderitaan dan beban ekonomi yang sama, secara spontan mempersatukan diri untuk menolong dirinya sendiri dan manusia sesamanya.
Pada tahun 1908, Budi Utomo yang didirikan oleh Dr. Sutomo memberikan peranan bagi gerakan koperasi untuk memperbaiki kehidupan rakyat. Pada tahun 1915 dibuat peraturan Verordening op de Cooperatieve Vereeniging, dan pada tahun 1927 Regeling Inlandschhe Cooperatieve.
Pada tahun 1927 dibentuk Serikat Dagang Islam, yang bertujuan untuk memperjuangkan kedudukan ekonomi pengusah-pengusaha pribumi. Kemudian pada tahun 1929, berdiri Partai Nasional Indonesia yang memperjuangkan penyebarluasan semangat koperasi.
Namun, pada tahun 1933 keluar UU yang mirip UU no. 431 sehingga mematikan usaha koperasi untuk yang kedua kalinya. Pada tahun 1942 Jepang menduduki Indonesia. Jepang lalu mendirikan koperasi kumiyai. Awalnya koperasi ini berjalan mulus. Namun fungsinya berubah drastis dan menjadi alat Jepang untuk mengeruk keuntungan, dan menyengsarakan rakyat Indonesia.
Setelah Indonesia merdeka, pada tanggal 12 Juli 1947, pergerakan koperasi di Indonesia mengadakan Kongres Koperasi yang pertama di Tasikmalaya. Hari ini kemudian ditetapkan sebagai Hari Koperasi Indonesia.
KONSEP KOPERASI
KONSEP KOPERASI BARAT
Koperasi merupakan organisasi swasta, yang dibentuk secara sukarela oleh orang-orang yang mempunyai persamaan kepentingan, dengan maksud mengurusi kepentingan para anggotanya serta menciptakan keuntungan timbal balik bagi anggota koperasi maupun perusahaan koperasi.
KONSEP KOPERASI SOSIALIS
Menurut konsep ini, koperasi tidak berdiri sendiri tetapi merupakan subsistem dari sistem sosialisme untuk mencapai tujuan. Dengan kata lain koperasi adalah sebuah organisasi yang dikendalikan oleh pemerintah dan dibentuk dengan tujuan merasionalkan produksi, untuk menunjang perencanaan nasional.
KONSEP KOPERASI NEGARA BERKEMBANG
Koperasi didominasi campur tangan pemerintah dalam pembinaan dan pengembangannya. Perbedaan dengan konsep koperasi sosialis yaitu jika Konsep Negara Berkembang bertujuan meningkatkan kondisi sosial ekonomi anggotanya, sedangkan tujuan konsep koperasi sosialis untuk merasionalkan faktor produksi dari kepemilikan probadi ke pemilikan kolektif.
ALIRAN KOPERASI
ALIRAN YARDSTICK
• Koperasi dapat menjadi kekuatan untuk mengimbangi, menetralisasikan dan mengoreksi
• Pemerintah tidak melakukan campur tangan terhadap jatuh bangunnya koperasi di tengah-tengah masyarakat. Maju tidaknya koperasi terletak di tangan anggota koperasi sendiri
ALIRAN SOSIALIS
• Koperasi dipandang sebagai alat yang paling efektif untuk mencapai kesejahteraan masyarakat, disamping itu menyatukan rakyat lebih mudah melalui organisasi koperasi.
ALIRAN PERKSEMAKMURAN (Commonwealth)
• Koperasi sebagai alat yang efisien dan efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas ekonomi masyarakat.
• Koperasi sebagai wadah ekonomi rakyat berkedudukan strategis dan memegang peranan utama dalam struktur perekonomian masyarakat
• Hubungan Pemerintah dengan gerakan koperasi bersifat “Kemitraan (partnership)”, dimana pemerintah bertanggung jawab dan berupaya agar iklim pertumbuhan koperasi tercipta dengan baik.

Rock and Roll

Rock and roll (often written as rock & roll or rock 'n' roll) is a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily from a combination of the blues, country music, jazz and gospel music.
In the earliest rock and roll styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally replaced or supplemented by guitar in the middle to late 1950s. The beat is essentially a boogie woogie blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum. Classic rock and roll is usually played with one or two electric guitars (one lead, one rhythm), a string bass or (after the mid-1950s) an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit.
Rock and roll began achieving wide popularity in the 1960s. The massive popularity and eventual worldwide view of rock and roll gave it a widespread social impact. Bobby Gillespie writes that "When Chuck Berry sang 'Hail, hail, rock and roll, deliver me from the days of old,' that's exactly what the music was doing. Chuck Berry started the global psychic jailbreak that is rock'n'roll."
Far beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies and on television, influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. It went on to spawn various sub-genres, often without the initially characteristic backbeat, that are now more commonly called simply "rock music" or "rock."

Reggae

Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rocksteady.
Reggae is based on a rhythmic style characterized by accents on the off-beat, known as the skank. Reggae is normally slower than both ska and rocksteady. Reggae usually accents the second and fourth beat in each bar, with the rhythm guitar also either emphasizing the third beat or holding the chord on the second beat until the fourth is played. It is mainly this "third beat", its speed and the use of complex bass lines that differentiated reggae from rocksteady, although later styles.

SUBGENRES
Early reggae
Early reggae, sometimes dubbed "skinhead reggae" due to its popularity among the working class subculture in the UK, started in the late 1960s, as the influence of funk music. The characteristic defining early reggae from rock steady is the "bubbling" organ, a percussive style of playing that brought to closer light the eighth-note subdivision within the groove. The guitar "skanks" on the second and fourth note of the bar were more frequently doubled up in recording studios using electronic tape echo effects, thus complementing the double-time feel of the organ bubble. Overall more emphasis was on the groove of the music; the growing trend of recording a "version" on the B-side of a single produced countless instrumentals led by a horn or organ.
Roots reggae
Roots reggae is a spiritual type of music whose lyrics are predominantly in praise of Jah (God). Recurrent lyrical themes include poverty and resistance to government and racial oppression. The creative pinnacle of roots reggae was in the late 1970s. Musically, on the song "Roots, Rock, Reggae" Marley devised a new style of "off beat" music where a bar of six beats is played, with the guitar skanking on the fourth and sixth beat. Although entirely separate from the beats of ska, rock steady, reggae, skank, flyers, rockers and all later styles, this unique beat seems to have been so closely associated with Marley that few others adopted it.
Dub
Dub is a genre of reggae that was pioneered in the early days by studio producers Lee 'Scratch' Perry and King Tubby. It involves extensive remixing of recorded material, and particular emphasis is placed on the drum and bass line.
Rockers
The rockers style was created in the mid-1970s by Sly & Robbie. Rockers is described as a flowing, mechanical, and aggressive style of playing reggae. One article calls the rockers era the "Golden Age of Reggae".
Lovers rock
The lovers rock subgenre originated in South London in the mid-1970s. The lyrics are usually about love. It is similar to rhythm and blues.
Newer styles and spin-offs
Hip hop and rap
Toasting is a style of chanting or talking over the record that was first used by 1960s Jamaican deejays such as U-Roy and Dennis Alcapone. This style greatly influenced Jamaican DJ Kool Herc, who used the style in New York City in the late 1970s to pioneer the hip hop and rap genres. Mixing techniques employed in dub music have also influenced hip hop.
Dancehall
The dancehall genre was developed around 1980, with exponents such as Yellowman, Super Cat and Shabba Ranks. The style was characterized by a deejay singing and rapping or toasting over raw and fast rhythms. Ragga (also known as raggamuffin) and reggae fusion, are subgenres of dancehall where the instrumentation primarily consists of electronic music and sampling. Notable ragga originators include Shinehead and Buju Banton. In February 2009, Dancehall with lyrical content "deemed explicitly sexual and violent" was banned from the airwaves by the Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica.
Raggamuffin
Raggamuffin, usually abbreviated as ragga, is a sub-genre of reggae that is closely related to dancehall and dub. The term raggamuffin is an intentional misspelling of ragamuffin, and the term raggamuffin music describes the music of Jamaica's "ghetto youths". The instrumentation primarily consists of electronic music. Sampling often serves a prominent role as well. As ragga matured, an increasing number of dancehall artists began to appropriate stylistic elements of hip hop music, while ragga music, in turn, influenced more and more hip hop artists. Ragga is now mainly used as a synonym for dancehall reggae or for describing dancehall with a deejay chatting rather than deejaying or singing on top of the riddim.
Reggaeton
Reggaeton is a form of urban music that first became popular with Latin American youths in the early 1990s. Reggaeton's predecessor originated in Panama as reggae en espaƱol. After the music's gradual exposure in Puerto Rico, it eventually evolved into reggaeton. It blends West-Indian reggae and dancehall with Latin American genres such as bomba, plena, salsa, merengue, Latin pop, cumbia and bachata, as well as hip hop, contemporary R&B and electronica. Modern reggaeton beats follow the structure of the Dem Bow Riddim, a beat created by Jamaican producers Steely & Clevie in the late 80s and early 90s.
Reggae fusion
Reggae fusion is a mixture of reggae or dancehall with elements of other genres, such as hip-hop, R&B, jazz, rock, drum and bass, punk or polka. Although artists have been mixing reggae with other genres from as early as the early 1970s, it was not until the late 1990s when the term was coined.

SKA

Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the upbeat. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods.
Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods: the original Jamaican scene of the 1960s (First Wave), the English 2 Tone ska revival of the late 1970s (Second Wave) and the third wave ska movement, which started in the 1980s (Third Wave) and rose to popularity in the US in the 1990s.

2 Tone
The 2 Tone genre, which began in the late 1970s in the areas in and around the city of Coventry in England, was a fusion of Jamaican ska rhythms and melodies with punk rock's more aggressive guitar chords and lyrics. Compared to 1960s ska, 2 Tone music had faster tempos, fuller instrumentation and a harder edge. The genre was named after 2 Tone Records, a record label founded by Jerry Dammers of The Specials. In many cases, the reworking of classic ska songs turned the originals into hits again in the United Kingdom.

Third wave
The Third Wave of Ska Revival emerged in the late '80s, when certain members of the American punk underground began returning to the sounds of British ska revival and infusing it with a hardcore punk attack. During the early '80s, this third wave continued to grow -- more bands continued to pop up across the country, but many of the most popular were based in California. As time wore on, the hardcore influences eventually mutated into heavy metal, much like hardcore punk itself. Eventually, the third wave of ska revivalists broke into the American mainstream, thanks to the success of fellow Californian punk revivalists Green Day and the Offspring. The first third wave band to break big was Rancid, but they were quickly followed by groups like No Doubt, Goldfinger, Sublime, and Dancehall Crashers; the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, who were one of the leading figures of the scene in the early '90s, just missed the commercial bandwagon. Most of the bands that followed Rancid into the charts emphasized metal over ska, but some -- like No Doubt -- drew from new wave pop roots as well, while Rancid themselves managed to stay true to both ska revival and punk. During 1996, the third wave of ska revival became one of the most popular forms of alternative music in the United States.

Oi!

Oi! is a working class subgenre of punk rock that originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. The music and its associated subculture had the goal of bringing together punks, skinheads and other working-class youths (sometimes called herberts).
Oi! became a recognized genre in the latter part of the 1970s, emerging after the perceived commercialization of punk rock, and before the soon-to-dominate hardcore punk sound. It fused the sounds of early punk bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, The Clash, and The Jam with influences from 1960s British rock bands such as The Rolling Stones, the Small Faces, and The Who; football chants; pub rock bands such as Dr. Feelgood, Eddie and the Hot Rods, and The 101ers; and glam rock bands such as Slade and Sweet. Direct precursors to the first Oi! bands included Sham 69, Cock Sparrer, and Menace, who were around for years before the word Oi! was used retroactively to describe their style of music.
In 1980, writing in Sounds magazine, rock journalist Garry Bushell labeled the movement Oi!, taking the name from the garbled "Oi!" that Stinky Turner of Cockney Rejects used to introduce the band's songs. The word is an old Cockney expression, meaning hey or hello. In addition to Cockney Rejects, other bands to be explicitly labeled Oi! in the early days of the genre included Angelic Upstarts, The 4-Skins, The Business, Blitz, The Blood, and Combat 84.
The prevalent ideology of the original Oi! movement was a rough brand of socialist, working-class populism. Lyrical topics included unemployment, workers' rights, harassment by police and other authorities, and oppression by the government. Oi! songs also covered less-political topics such as street violence, football, sex, and alcohol. Although Oi! has come to be considered mainly a skinhead-oriented genre, the first Oi! bands were composed mostly of punk rockers and people who fit neither the skinhead nor punk label.
After the Oi! movement lost momentum in the United Kingdom, Oi! scenes formed in continental Europe, North America, and Asias. Soon, especially in the United States, the Oi! phenomenon mirrored the hardcore punk scene of the early 1980s, with Oi!-influenced bands such as Agnostic Front, Iron Cross, and S.S. Decontrol. Later American punk bands such as Rancid and Dropkick Murphys have credited Oi! as a source of inspiration. In the mid-1990s, there was a revival of interest in Oi! music in the UK, leading to older Oi! bands receiving more recognition. In the 2000s, many of the original UK Oi! bands reunited to perform and/or record.

My family


     I was born from a simple family, not rich but not poor, but everything I need can be met. I'm just an ordinary person, who always strive to be extraordinary. I was the first of two brothers.
      
       Suprapto is the name of my father, he was a jaunty, funny, easy to speak, and democratic. My brother and I are very happy if the sides, not only I consider to be the father, he also I think of as friends or another, its role is very flexible in this life. He was a civil servant, lower class, but he always tried to meet the needs of this family.

     I was born from a woman named Heny Heryety, she is my mother. Sometimes I fight with her, but I respect her, because she is my mother. And I also had a brother named Dwi Chandra Kurniawan, a fat boy, because he likes to eat. There is no food that he does not like, and no time he went without food. He's funny, though sometimes annoying.

     Actually I have a brother anymore, but he had died first. His name is Tri Andikha Awaludin, he is my youngest brother, if he's still there might have been sitting in primary school. But unfortunately he only stayed for three days, he should not be born at that time, it happened because of premature, my mother fell while seven months pregnant, so they want or do not have to be born at the time. We are very saddened by this incident, but we can not do anything about it. We can only learn from it all.

     It is in my family, the lessons can I take it from there. This is the initial capital for me to face the real world out there. I am very happy even though I was born just plain and simple family, because what I need from family is not fancy, but the harmonies and the warmth of love from all family members.

MY STORIES ABOUT LOVE

In this world there are many stories about love, from casual to romantic love story. Happy, sad, upset, longing, resentment, confusion and all other feelings mixed into one, adorn the feeling called love. With love life more colorful, the days seem bright. But if life without love would be empty.
Talk about love I remembered a story of my life. One of the other side of my soul, the balance in my life journey as a man. When I find someone who is a woman, she is beautiful, good, and very perfect for me. I think it feels very happy if she could be my girlfriend, who was accompanying me when alone, do not have a girlfriend it feels very lonely. The warmth of a woman so I miss.
That time the first day I was college, looking at her makes me interested and want to have her. But it seems I can only hope, because she has a boyfriend. The news I heard from her friend, with disappointed I accept it with patience. Back I walked alone without having a girlfriend, only one who can make me strong, that is patience.
But not long after that I was reaping the rewards of patience as well, she had split with his boyfriend, now I have the opportunity to approach her. I continue to fight to get her, really struggling to make her into my life companion, not just wait for her but this time I get a few competitors to get her. Really tired of it all. And finally I managed to get her, making her the companion of my life. I am very satisfied, and also proud of my struggle to get her.
Until now we can live together happily, and love one another, through the day with happiness. I hope for eternity. And even this story will I save with a neat, will I inherit this story to the children and grandchildren later.

my friend lost his cell phone

That day I had promised to accompany my friend to register her for school, I accompanied him and point the way to him, because he did not know the route. And I will finish my business, too.
Alarum rang in the morning, I woke up, showered quickly so as not to be late. Because I must keep my promise that day. After breakfast and a shower I went to the train station, because we agreed to meet at the train station, and travel by train. Upon arrival, I do not see my friends, I seem to come too early.
After several minutes I waited for my friend finally arrived, but we can not directly continue the journey because the train is yet to come. And we have to wait until the train came. Then we rushed to continue the journey to achieve the goal. There we settle our affairs, to register my friend, and I completed my own affairs as well. Until the whole affair is finished. We had lunch before going home, after lunch we went home.
Travel back as before, using the train headed to the train station where we first met. We are very relieved to have completed our business, we do not have the burden. On the train we joked to pass the time during the trip. Until we finally arrived at their destination.
After my friend and I went down the train suddenly we were surprised, my friend discovered that he had lost his cell phone. Apparently the phone that he had been stolen on the train, maybe the incident when we're joking. My friend was very sad at the time. But the incident has occurred, we can not play the time to reverse the situation, we can only accept with patience. And make it as a lesson, so as not to repeat the incident.

bad experiences 2

In the morning I wake up, feel the fresh air in the morning. I thought I was ready to greet the day. I was thirteen years old at that time, both my high school junior class. Schedule I school in the daytime, in the morning I'm happy to relax because I've finished all the tasks in the evening. I hurried shower, feeling sticky, if not bathe twice a day, maybe because I'm used to like it. That morning I was alone at home, my mother went to the market to buy cooking purposes, my younger brother playing with his friends outside. Confused what to do, alone at home sometimes seem boring, nobody could talk to.
After a shower and then followed by breakfast, filling the strength to face all challenges on this day, a glass of milk and two slices of bread that accompanied me in the morning, becoming the best breakfast menu I am in the morning. To fill the time I turned on the television after breakfast, watching television is very useful to relieve boredom. Relax by watching television while lying down.
Suddenly I heard the phone rang, I immediately answered the call. It comes from my grandfather's house, providing information that my grandfather died at the time, I was very surprised to hear that. Cheerful atmosphere is no longer I feel, emotions that I now feel. I hurried to find my mother and sister, after that the three of us went to my grandfather's house. When I got there my dad and my other relatives had gathered there.
At first I did not believe, I think just the wrong information, I really do not believe. My grandfather, whom I love is gone forever and left me. Very sad if I continue to think about it, but this is a fact, I could not refuse. I do not want this experience, but I can not do anything about it. Maybe this is the destiny of God, I can not deny this. It may be denied. I take a lesson from what has happened. I can do is handle all the brave and patient.

bad experiences 1

One day after school, when I rushed home with my friends. we go home together with my motorcycle. Along the way we rejoice. Sometimes humming, laughing together, until saturation is not how we feel during the trip. Since there is only joy, cheerful, and laughter.
When it was the month where Muslims must fast, in the Hijri year, called Ramadan. My friend and I are fasting, but we run it with pleasure. Though hungry, we still rejoice. With pleasure we do it.
On the way we stopped at a refueling point to refuel my bike, if not refill the fuel then the bike I would not be able to walk again. So I immediately went to fuel injection. The queue at the gas station seems a bit long. There are many vehicles that recharge fuel as well. In the queue I have five vehicles that have been lined up in front of me to refuel. This seems to be a long process of refueling my vehicle. Patiently waiting for my friend and I lined up mengantrian to fill the fuel for my motorcycle. While waiting for the queue again and again we are filled with jokes and laughter. My friend always acting stupid, so fun for me at the time. So I do not feel tired.
Until it was my turn to refuel my bike, and we can travel back, but suddenly when we were out of fuel without realizing that there are other motorcycle sped away from the rear, and then elbowed my bike, we tergelincirlah time. My friend was bouncing away to the side of the road, while I fell with my motorcycle. my foot stepped on a motorcycle.
motorcyclist who nudged my bike, running because he saw people on the street pnggir gathered to help me and my friend. I can not do anything about it. My body was limp after the tragedy, there are some wounds on my skin and my friend, my bike is broken in several parts of his body. To calm down we sat down to rest, after resting we continued our journey back. Then remove the wounds in each other's bodies. Fortunately, only minor injuries that we suffer, and we still survived in the tragedy, we continue to give thanks to God the mighty.

Adverbial clause

An adverbial clause is a clause that functions as an adverb. In other words, it contains a subject (explicit or implied) and a predicate, and it modifies a verb.
  • I saw Joe when I went to the store. (explicit subject I)
  • He sat quietly in order to appear polite. (implied subject he)
According to Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk, adverbial clauses function mainly as adjuncts or disjuncts. In these functions they are like adverbial phrases, but due to their potentiality for greater explicitness, they are more often like prepositional phrases (Greenbaum and Quirk,1990):
  • We left after the speeches ended. (Is it an adverbial clause, adverbial phrase, or prepositional phrase?)
  • We left after the end of the speeches.(Is it an adverbial clause, adverbial phrase, or prepositional phrase?)
Contrast adverbial clauses with adverbial phrases, which do not contain a clause.
  • I like to fly kites for fun.
