Another Memorable day
It was around 8 p.m.
I was sitting in front of my computer when my daughter suddenly closed my eyes from behind.
* Me : What are you doing, honey?
* My daughter : Please stay still, dad!
* Me : But what are you doing?
She didn’t answer my question. She was busy wrapping my head with a shawl.
Everything then looked dark because my eyes were completely covered. So, when she slowly ushered me to the family room, I could barely walk. It took us forever to move from the computer room to the living room.
After having sat on the couch, my daughter unleashed the shawl from my head. The room was dark. The light was intentionally turned off. In the dark, I saw my wife sitting in front of me. She was smiling and looking at me when she lit the candles.
Yup, they were all for my birthday. Frankly, I was deeply touched. It was another memorable moment in my life. Thanks guys for the attention you showed me. I love you all.
Vocabs:
* stay still = diam, jangan bergerak
* wrap = membungkus
* shawl = selendang
* covered = tertutup
* usher = menuntun/memandu
* can barely = hampir tidak bisa
* forever = lama sekali (sebuah kiasan hiperbolik).
* unleashe = melepaskan ikatan
* turned off = dimatikan/dipadamkan
Kesimpulan
Jika aktivitas/kejadian telah dilakukan/terjadi dan berakhir in the past, gunakanlah simple past tense. Sedangkan, jika aktivitas tersebut sedang in action/in progress pada waktu yang sangat spesifik in the past, gunakanlah past continuous tense.

Simple Present Tense
Formula untuk Simple Present Tense adalah:
Subject + Verb1 + Object + Modifier
Note: jika subject diikuti oleh adjective atau noun, gunakan be: is/am/are. Is digunakan jika subject-nya singular yaitu he, she, it dan noun yang dapat digantikan dengan subject pronoun he, she atau it; Am jika subject-nya I; Sedangkan, are jika subject-nya you, they, atau we. Subject pronoun I, you, they, we, dan noun yang dapat digantikan dengan I, you, they atau we disebut plural subject.
Contoh:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali grow rice crops twice a year. (Petani-petani di Jati Bali bercocok tanam padi dua kali setahun).
2. Some students usually conduct research on vegetative plant propagations. (Beberapa siswa biasanya melakukan penelitian pada perbanyakan tanaman vegetatif).
3. Transpiration starts to increase at 8 a.m. (Transpirasi mulai meningkat jam 8 pagi).
Note: Pada contoh 1 dan 2 digunakan plural verb karena subject-nya plural, sedangkan pada contoh yang ketiga digunakan singular verb [verb1 + (s atau es)] karena didahului oleh singular subject.
Kapan verb1 ditambahkan huruf s dan kapan ditambahkan huruf es sehingga menjadi singular verb yang benar? Hampir semua singular verb dibentuk dengan menambahkan huruf s diakhir verb1 (i.e. Verb1 + s ). Namun, mengingat jumlah verb sangat banyak, maka yang perlu dipahami/dihafal sekarang adalah kapan kita harus menambahkan es. Ketentuannya adalah jika verb1 berakhiran dengan huruf “o, x, ch, y, th, s, dan sh” maka Verb1 + es.
Contoh:
Verb1
Verb1 + es
Meaning
go
do
box
watch
pinch
punch
study
cry
fly
try
press
pass
smash
brush
bath
sooth

bertinju
menonton
mencubit
memukul
belajar
menangis
terbang
mencoba

Note:
* Huruf ‘y’ yang didahului oleh konsonan berubah menjadi ‘i’ (Lihat: studies, tries, cries).
* Verb have (mempunyai) berubah secara tidak beraturan menjadi has.
Pertanyaan berikutnya adalah kapan simple present tense digunakan?
Simple present tense digunakan:
1. untuk menyatakan kejadian-kejadian yang terjadi secara reguler (regular happening).
Contoh:
1. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. (Matahari terbit di timur dan tenggelam di barat).
2. The full moon comes every 30 days. (Purnama datang tiap 30 hari).
3. The planet earth takes 365 days to rotate the sun. (Planet bumi butuh 365 hari untuk mengelilingi matahari).
2. untuk menyatakan kebiasan-kebiasaan yang dilakukan oleh subject kalimat (habitual action); Kebiasaan-kebiasaan tersebut masih berlangsung sampai sekarang dan (mungkin) akan terus berlanjut ke masa yang akan datang (future).
Contoh:
1. My son always goes to school on foot. (Putra saya selalu pergi ke sekolah dengan berjalan kaki).
2. Mr. Bain usually plays badminton every Sunday morning but he did not show up last Sunday. (Mr Bain biasanya main bulutangkis tiap minggu pagi tetapi dia tidak muncul (tidak main) hari Minggu yang lalu).
3. Mr. Budi always drives a car to the office. (Mr. Budi selalu mengendarai mobil ke kantor).

2. Solar radiation is required during photosynthesis. (Radiasi surya dibutuhkan selama proses fotosintesis).
3. Twenty-five devided by five is equal to five. (25 dibagi 5 sama dengan 5).
4. Untuk menyatakan/mengekspresikan keadaan atau kondisi seseorang atau sesuatu pada saat sekarang (pada saat diekspresikan). Verbs untuk mengekspresikan seseorang atau sesuatu ini terkait dengan proses/keadaan di dalam otak, terkait dengan perasaan, terkait dengan panca indera, dan terkait dengan kepemilikan. Verbs seperti ini secara kolektif disebut Stative Verbs. Verbs ini sering kita gunakan atau dengar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Jadi, perhatikan dan hafalkan verbs dalam tabel berikut!
Terkait dengan proses/keadaan di dalam otak
know (tahu)
believe (percaya)
understand (mengerti/paham)
imagine (membayangkan)
think (berfikir/mengira/kira)
recognize (mengenali)
doubt (meragukan)
need (memerlukan/butuh)
prefer (lebih suka)
mean (berarti)
forget (melupakan/lupa)
remember (mengingat/ingat)
Terkait dengan perasaan
hate (benci)
love (cinta)
like (suka)
want (menginginkan/ingin)
Terkait dengan panca indera
hear (mendengar)
see (melihat)
smell (mencium/tercium)
appear (muncul)
sound (terdengar)
look (melihat/tampak)
seem (tampak)
taste (merasakan/terasa)
Terkait dengan kepemilikan
have (mempunyai)
own (mempunyai)
possess (mempunyai)
belong (milik)
Note: Stative verbs bersifat pasif dan tidak digunakan dalam continuous tenses. Tetapi, beberapa stative verbs juga dapat bersifat aktif , bermakna sedikit berbeda dengan stative verbs, dan dalam hal ini, dapat digunakan dalam continuous tenses. Perbedaan penggunaan verbs bersifat pasif dan aktif ini dibahas secara lebih detail di topik Simple present tense vs present continous tense.
Contoh:
1. I think I know him. (Saya kira/rasa saya tahu dia).
2. I understand English better now. (Saya paham bahasa Inggris dengan lebih baik sekarang).
3. I love you very much. (Saya sangat mencintai kamu).
4. The song sounds good but I cannot catch every single word in it. (Lagu itu terdengar manis tapi saya tidak dapat menangkap satu kata pun dari lagu itu).
5. The snack tastes so delicious. (Camilan itu terasa begitu lezat).
6. I believe you. (Saya percaya kamu).
7. The tragic accident sometimes appears in my mind. (Kecelakaan tragis itu kadang-kadang muncul di benak saya).
8. She has two dogs and one cat. (Dia punya dua anjing dan satu kucing), etc.
5. Untuk menyatakan fakta yang ada sekarang. Penekanannya lebih pada adanya fakta, bukan pada proses terjadinya fakta.Verb yang sering digunakan di sini antara lain: consist of, contain, include, exist, cost, be (i.e: is, am, dan are, atau be jika mengikuti modal auxiliary).
Contoh:
1. She weighs more than 100 kg. She is very fat. (Dia beratnya lebih dari 100 kg. Dia sangat gemuk).
2. I want to buy these shoes. How much do they cost? (Saya mau beli sepatu ini. Berapa harganya?).

Contoh:
1. May I borrow your pen, please? (Boleh saya pinjam pulpenmu?).
2. Make teams that consist of 5 people each! (Buatlah tim yang masing-masing terdiri dari 5 orang).
Note: Dalam simple present tense, sering digunakan adverb seperti: always (selalu), often (sering), usually (biasanya), sometimes (kadang-kadang), seldom (jarang), never (tidak pernah). Adverbs ini biasanya ditempatkan diantara subject dan verb. Tetapi jika kalimat menggunakan be, adverb ditempatkan setelah be (Lihat contoh 4). Walaupun disisipi adverb, bentuk verb tidak berubah. Artinya, jika subject-nya singular (orang ketiga tunggal), verbnya tetap singular (Lihat contoh 5). Selain adverbs, simple present tense juga sering disisipi modal auxilliary seperti can (dapat), may (boleh, mungkin), dan must (harus). (Lihat contoh 6). Dan ingat, gunakan plural verb setelah modal auxilliary. Singular verb tidak pernah digunakan setelah modal auxiliary (Lihat contoh 7). Penggunaan modal auxilliary akan dibahas secara khusus pada posting berikutnya.
Contoh :
1. I usually watch Hollywood movies to maintain my English proficiency. (Saya biasanya nonton film-film Hollywood untuk mempertahankan kemampuan bahasa Inggris saya).
2. They always arrive on time. (Mereka selalu tiba tepat waktu).
3. My children sometimes go to Kuta Beach to practice their English. (Anak-anak saya kadang-kadang pergi ke pantai Kuta untuk melatih bahasa Ingggrisnya).
4. He is never late. (Dia tak pernah telat).
5. Because he seldom studies hard, he seldom gets good results. (Karena dia jarang belajar keras, dia jarang dapat nilai bagus).
6. Can I go now? No, you can’t. You must stay here until we finish doing our homework. (Dapat saya pergi sekarang? Tidak. Kamu harus tetap di sini sampai kita selesai mengerjakan PR kita).
7. He must go to see a doctor now. (Dia harus pergi ke dokter sekarang).
Negative Form
Bentuk negatif dari kalimat dalam Simple Present Tense dibuat dengan menambahkan kata bantu ‘do’ atau ‘does’ (tergantung dari subject kalimat) dan not, seperti terlihat dalam formula berikut,
Subject + (does/do) + not + Verb1 + Object + Modifier
Note: a) Jika kalimat positifnya menggunakan singular verb (i.e. verb1 + s/es), gunakan kata bantu does sebelum not dan jangan lupa untuk merubah singgular verb tersebut menjadi verb1. Does not dapat disingkat doesn’t dan do not dapat disingkat don’t. b) Jika kalimat positifnya menggunakan be (i.e. is, am atau are), kata bantu do atau does tidak diperlukan. Yang perlu dilakukan di sini hanyalah menyisipkan not setelah be, yang masing-masing dapat disingkat menjadi isn’t/ aren’t. Kontraksi am + not adalah ain’t, tetapi jangan gunakan kontraksi ini dalam tulisan/percakapan formal karena sangat tidak formal.
Contoh:
1. The sun does not rise in the west and does not set in the east. (Matahari tidak terbit di barat dan tidak tenggelam di timur).
2. The full moon does not come every 15 days. (Purnama tidak datang tiap 15 hari).
3. The planet earth does not take 400 days to rotate the sun. (Planet bumi tidak butuh 400 hari untuk mengelilingi matahari).
4. My son does not always go to school on foot. (Putraku tidak selalu pergi ke sekolah dengan berjalan kaki).
5. Mr. Bain does not always play badminton every Sunday morning. (Mr Bain tidak selalu main bulutangkis tiap minggu pagi).
6. Mr. Budi does not always drive a car to the office. (Mr. Budi tidak selalu naik mobil ke kantor).

10. The snack does not taste good. (Camilan itu tidak terasa lezat).
11. I do not love you very much. (Saya tidak sangat cinta kamu).
12. I do not always watch Hollywood movies to maintain my English proficiency. (Saya tidak selalu nonton film-film Hollywood untuk mempertahankan kemampuan bahasa Inggrisku).

14. He is never late. (Dia tak pernah telat).
15. Although he does not always study hard, he always gets good results. (Walaupun dia tidak selalu belajar keras, dia selalu memperoleh nilai bagus).

Book review
Book Review: Beautiful Men
By: Hesti Pratiwiafwiani
Mine is a book to the man-4 from Andrey Aksana. The author is also known by the nickname The Singing Author reality of life is to disassemble a romance that opposes the norm in society and raised it into a touching story.
Beautiful man tells about the life romance between two men. The love story that started accidentally. As one of the characters in the novel 'Would not there is always a new beginning? "
Rafky is the man who almost without flaw. Athletic body, handsome face, and intelligence above average. He is a man who attract the attention of almost everyone. The figure is so appealing until one day a man fell in love with him.
His meeting with Valent on a plane to Thailand by mistake is the beginning of their story. Valent, handsome and gentle Rafky attention. Invitation to stay with him while in Thailand received Rafky though he rather objected to the extreme lifestyle of luxury Valent.
Valent who lost his father since childhood always longed for an adult male figure. He knew from childhood he was always attracted to other men but she always denied the presence of those feelings. Bid with her mother to marry her mother the option he received in the hope he can lead a normal life like other men.

A glimpse of the latest novel by Andrei Aksana on this, that comes to mind is that this novel will surely exploit many sex scenes as other novels by young writers who bloom lately.
But from the first page until exhausted, scenes of intimacy and flirtation was described Andrei with a smooth and beautiful language. Not a cheap vulgar language, so that no impression of disgust on every scene that were served.
Not just prose, in this novel, Andrei also slipped poems are from the wild leaps of thought or feeling his characters.
Most beautiful men not only tell you the feelings that in fact Rafky and Valent called gay by society, but also feelings of disappointed people who were around them.
Reading this novel we will be devoted to a realization that love is universal. Although there is a kind of quote 'When love does not choose the sex, Love became forbidden'.
I love you, because I love you.
No need another reason ...
