About Promise

The promise is a saying that someone swore and will be filled at any given moment. The promise is not just a word but a promise is a commitment. Siucapkan can promise to our fellow beings, God and myself. What is the meaning of a promise to you?
Significance and meaninglessness of a promise lies in the people who make an promise. A promise was meaningless and meaningful if it is spoken in earnest. Promises are easy words to say, but very hard to do.
People often say that a promise is a debt, the debt should already have to pay, and people who have actually been bound by a promise of a sacred covenant that was in him, realized what was realized.
For me personally it means a promise, especially a promise spoken by the special people in my life. I never get angry if they broke that promise, but the pain in the hearts can not lie. Promises by people who are not very meaningful in life when compared with a promise by the person must have a different meaning in life. And also different sense of disappointment that if an appointment was canceled.

About Dream

Have you ever dreamed of? I'm sure everyone must have been dreaming or to wonder. And whether it was a dream come true? maybe some people say "enough" but some people have not or do not even know.
Actually what we are experiencing today is the result of a dream we used to be good at a time when you realize it or not, believe it or not. All your achievements are the outcome of your dreams and at a time when (according to the books I read). Let me love ya example Consciously or unconsciously father or mother never dreamed we would get married and have children, now is the result of the dream of our children - his son. Believe or not, let's try check to yourself.
Now therefore let us dream as high as high as the skies hang their future goals, and let the time we realize that dream. And do not ever be afraid to dream, if the dream alone is how you want to be a real fear hehehehe

Introduce My Self

Good morning everyone. Let me introduce myself in a short time. I am Alvian Fadillah and you can call me Alvian. I was born in Jakarta, December 6st 1992. It means that I’m seventeen years old right now. My house actually is not far from this school and you are only to ride for about 100 m to the east.

I have a nice hobby and that is writing and blogging. I have a nice blog that provide information of Technology, newest gadget, and many more. In my house, I live with my parents named Mr. and Mrs. Djunaidi. Both of them work as teacher. I love them very much and I’m actually three brothers. I have one elder brother and one younger sisters. My brother is 25 years old named M. Aryo Fahluvi. Next to my sister who has been 19 years old named Gitantri Ayunngtyas and she is studying at Gunadarma University especially for Economic Management. I think, I will not tell more about my family because it consumes time too much. Thanks

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi is a brain or core of my thesis being made​​, in general raspberry Pi is a single board computer that looks like a credit card. RaspberryPi developed by the Raspberry Foundation of the UK with the aim of promoting the teaching of computer science in primary schools. Raspberry Pi is produced through a manufacturing offers licensed under Element 14/Primer Farnell and RS Components. The two companies also serve Raspberry Pi sales online.
Raspberry Pi using a Broadcom BCM2835 system on its chip (SoC) which also includes ARM1176JZF-S processor 700 MHz, GPU VideoCore IV, 256 MB of RAM (can be upgraded to 512 Mb). Peng-upgrade-tan can be done by adding an SD Card to store the boot for the long term.
Raspberry PI Foundation offers two versions of the product is priced at U.S. $ 25 and U.S. $ 35. RP Foundation provides Linux distributions Debian and Arch Linux ARM for download, as well as a programming support tool for Python, Perl and BBC BASIC

Meaning "games" by me

What did you learn from the word "game"? game is a means to channel and to entertain ourselves from day-to-day activities. Perhaps in general can be interpreted like this, the game is a recreational activity with the purpose of having fun, filling spare time, or work light. Games usually performed alone or together (cluster). But now, the game up to the routine activities performed by all people, children, teenagers or the elderly. Games are supposed to educate the next generation to be better people, almost around 50 to 80% of games that are currently only negatively impact to the next generation. Children so lazy to study, teenagers so rarely socialize in the neighborhood and there are many other examples. What is really one of a game? The purpose of game or type of game?. I experienced is that I much prefer to play because of what I do not get to express at  my life than I get in a game.

Yes No Question :
Definition:  An interrogative construction that expects an answer of “yes” or “no.” Contrast with wh- question.
Examples and Observations:
                        Homer: Are you an angel?
                         Moe: Yes, Homer. All us angels wear Farrah slacks.
                        (The Simpsons)
“Directing a movie is a very overrated job, we all know it. You just have to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ What else do you do? Nothing. ‘Maestro, should this be red?’ Yes. ‘Green?’ No. ‘More extras?’ Yes. ‘More lipstick?’ No. Yes. No. Yes. No. That’s directing.” (Judi Dench as Liliane La Fleur in Nine, 2009).
            Principal McGee: Are you just going to stand there all day?
            Sonny: No ma’am. I mean, yes ma’am. I mean, no ma’am.
             Principal McGee: Well, which is it?
             Sonny: Um, no ma’am.
             (Eve Arden and Michael Tucci in Grease, 1978)
The yes-no question is found in three varieties: the inverted question, the typical exemplar of this kind; the inverted question offering an alternative (which may require more than a simple yes or no for an answer); and the tag question:
            Are you going? (inversion)
            Are you staying or going? (inversion with alternative)
            You’re going, aren’t you? (tag)
The inverted question merely inverts the subject and the first verb of the verb phrase of the corresponding statement pattern when that verb is either a modal or an auxiliary verb or the verb be and sometimes have. The question itself may be positive or negative:
She is leaving on Wednesday.
            Is she leaving on Wednesday?
    . . . A positive question appears to be neutral as to the expected response–yes or no. However, a negative question seems to hold out the distinct possibility of a negative response.
            Are you going? Yes/No.
            Aren’t you going? No.
(Ronald Wardhaugh, Understanding English Grammar: A Linguistic Approach. Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)
“There are many different ways to format questions on a survey. Let’s say you want to measure people’s attitudes toward premarital sex. You could ask a simple yes-no question:
        Are you in favor of premarital sex?
        ___ Yes ___ No
Or you could use a Likert-type scale where the question is phrased as a statement.” (Annabel Ness Evans and Bryan J. Rooney, Methods in Psychological Research, 2nd ed. Sage, 2011) Also Known As: polar interrogative, polar question, bipolar question
Tag Question :
Question tags are the short questions that we put on the end of sentences – particularly in spoken English. There are lots of different question tags but the rules are not difficult to learn.
Positive/negative
If the main part of the sentence is positive, the question tag is negative ….
  • He’s a doctor, isn’t he?
  • You work in a bank, don’t you?
… and if the main part of the sentence is negative, the question tag is positive.
  • You haven’t met him, have you?
  • She isn’t coming, is she?
With auxiliary verbs
The question tag uses the same verb as the main part of the sentence. If this is an auxiliary verb (‘have’, ‘be’) then the question tag is made with the auxiliary verb.
  • They’ve gone away for a few days, haven’t they?
  • They weren’t here, were they?
  • He had met him before, hadn’t he?
  • This isn’t working, is it?
Without auxiliary verbs
If the main part of the sentence doesn’t have an auxiliary verb, the question tag uses an appropriate form of ‘do’.
  • I said that, didn’t I?
  • You don’t recognise me, do you?
  • She eats meat, doesn’t she?
With modal verbs
If there is a modal verb in the main part of the sentence the question tag uses the same modal verb.
  • They couldn’t hear me, could they?
  • You won’t tell anyone, will you?
With ‘I am’
Be careful with question tags with sentences that start ‘I am’. The question tag for ‘I am’ is ‘aren’t I?’
  • I’m the fastest, aren’t I?
Intonation
Question tags can either be ‘real’ questions where you want to know the answer or simply asking for agreement when we already know the answer.
If the question tag is a real question we use rising intonation. Our tone of voice rises.
If we already know the answer we use falling intonation. Our tone of voice falls.

PRONOUN

Definition:

A word (one of the traditional parts of speech) that takes the place of a nounnoun phrase, or noun clause. A pronoun can function as a subjectobject, or complement in a sentence. Unlike nouns, pronouns rarely allow modification. Pronouns are a closed word class in English: new members rarely enter the language.
There are several different classes of pronouns:
·         Demonstrative Pronouns
·         Indefinite Pronouns
·         Interrogative Pronouns
·         Intensive Pronouns
·         Personal Pronouns
·         Possessive Pronouns
·         Reciprocal Pronouns
·         Reflexive Pronouns
·         Relative Pronouns

Examples:
·         "She got her looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon."
(Groucho Marx)

·         Chalmers: Well, Seymour, it seems we've put together a baseball team and I was wondering, who's on first, eh?
Skinner: Not the pronoun, but rather a player with the unlikely name of "Who" is on first.
Chalmers: Well that's just great, Seymour. We've been out here six seconds and you've already managed to blow the routine.
("Screaming Yellow Honkers," The Simpsons, 1999)

·         "We rolled all over the floor, in each other's arms, like two huge helpless children. He was naked and goatish under his robe, and I felt suffocated as he rolled over himWe rolled over meThey rolled over himWe rolled over us."
(Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita)

·         "I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me."
(Abe in "Homerpalooza," The Simpsons)

·         "Why shouldn't things be largely absurd, futile, and transitory? They are so, and we are so, and they and we go very well together."
(George Santayana)

·         "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."
(John Lennon and Paul McCartney, "I Am the Walrus")

Demonstrative Pronouns

Definition:

determiner that points to a particular noun or to the noun it replaces. There are four demonstratives in English: the "near" demonstratives this and these, and the "far" demonstratives that and those.
demonstrative pronoun distinguishes its antecedent from similar things. When a demonstrative precedes a noun, it is sometimes called a demonstrative adjective.

Examples :

·         "In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri."
(Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 1979)

·         "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
(Kurt Vonnegut)

·         "Like other determiner classes, the demonstrative pronoun must replace or stand for a clearly stated antecedent. In the following example, that does not refer to 'solar energy'; it has no clear antecedent:

Our contractor is obviously skeptical about solar energy. That doesn't surprise me.



Definition:

pronoun that refers to an unspecified person or thing. Indefinite pronouns include quantifiers (some, any, enough, several, many, much); universals (all, both, every, each); and partitives (any, anyone, anybody, either, neither, no, nobody, some, someone). Many of the indefinite pronouns can function as determiners.

Examples :

·         "For many are called, but few are chosen."
(Bible, Matthew 22.14)

·         "You can fool all the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time."
(Abraham Lincoln, speech at the Republican state convention in Bloomington, Indiana, on May 29, 1856)

·         "No one wants to hear about my sciatica."
(Bart Simpson, The Simpsons)

Interrogative Pronouns

Definition:

A term in traditional grammar for a pronoun that introduces a question.
The five interrogative pronouns in English are who, whom, whose, which, and what.
Examples :
·         "Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whomare you going to speak it to?"
(Clarence Darrow)

·         "When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'"
(Don Marquis)

Intensive Pronouns

Definition:

pronoun ending in -self or -selves that serves to emphasize itsantecedent.
Intensive pronouns often appear as appositives after nouns or other pronouns.
Intensive pronouns have the same forms as reflexive pronouns. Unlike reflexive pronouns, intensive pronouns are not essential to the basic meaning of a sentence.

Examples :

·         "He wondered, as he had many times wondered before, whether he himself was a lunatic."
(George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1948)

·         "But it is only through constant, faithful endeavor by the girl herself that the goal eventually is reached."
(Florenz Ziegfeld)


Personal Pronouns

Definition:

pronoun that refers to a particular person, group, or thing. Like all pronouns, personal pronouns can take the place of nouns and noun phrases.
These are the personal pronouns in English:
·         First-person singular: I (subject); me (object)
·         First-person plural: we (subject); us (object)
·         Second-person singular and plural: you (subject andobject)
·         Third-person singular: he, she, it (subject); him, her, it (object)
·         Third-person plural: they (subject); them (object)

Note that personal pronouns inflect for case to show whether they are serving as subjects of clauses or as objects of verbs or prepositions.
Also note that all of the personal pronouns exceptyou have distinct forms indicating number, either singular or plural. Only the third-person singular pronouns have distinct forms indicating gender: masculine (he, him), feminine (she, her), and neuter (it). A personal pronoun (such as they) that can refer to both masculine and feminine entities is called ageneric pronoun.

Examples :

·         "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys themso much."
(Oscar Wilde)

·         "From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day Iintend reading it."
(Groucho Marx)

·         "I stopped believing in Santa Claus when my mother took me to see him in a department store, and he asked for my autograph."
(Shirley Temple)

Possessive Pronouns

Definition:

pronoun that can take the place of a noun phrase to show ownership (as in "This phone is mine").
The weak possessives (also called possessive determiners) function as adjectives in front of nouns. The weak possessives are my, your, his, her, its, our, and their.
In contrast, the strong (or absolutepossessive pronouns stand on their own: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs.
A possessive pronoun never takes an apostrophe.

Examples :

·         "We were both work-study kids with University jobs. Hers was in the library; mine was in the Commons cafeteria."
(Stephen King, Joyland. Titan Books, 2013)

·         "Go on, get inside the TARDIS. Oh, never given you a key? Keep that. Go on, that’s yours. Quite a big moment really!"
(The Doctor to Donna in "The Poison Sky." Doctor Who, 2005)

Reciprocal Pronouns

Definition:

pronoun that expresses mutual action or relationship. In English the reciprocal pronouns are each other and one another.
Some usage guides insist that each other should be used to refer to two people or things, and one another to more than two. (But see Examples and Observations, below.) As Bryan Garner has observed, "Careful writers will doubtless continue to observe the distinction, but no one else will notice" (Garner's Modern American Usage, 2009).

Examples :

·         "Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other."
(John F. Kennedy, in a speech prepared for delivery on the day of his assassination, November 22, 1963)

·         "Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated."
(Martin Luther King, Jr., Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story, 1958)

Reflexive Pronouns

Definition:

pronoun ending in -self or -selves that is used as an object to refer to a previously named noun or pronoun in a sentence.
Reflexive pronouns usually follow verbs or prepositions.
Reflexive pronouns have the same forms as intensive pronouns. Unlike intensive pronouns, reflexive pronouns are essential to the meaning of a sentence.

Examples :

·         "Good breeding consists of concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person."
(Mark Twain)

·         "Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."
(Cyril Connolly)

Relative Pronouns

Definition:

pronoun that introduces an adjective clause (also called a relative clause).
The standard relative pronouns in English are which, that, who, whom, and whose. Who and whom refer only to people. Which refers to things, qualities, and ideas--never to people. That and whose refer to people, things, qualities, and ideas.
Examples :

·         "One of the smaller girls did a kind of puppet dance while her fellow clowns laughed at her. But the tall one, who was almost a woman, said something very quietly, which I couldn't hear."
(Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, 1969)

"Spaghetti at her table, which was offered at least three times a week, was a mysterious red, white, and brown concoction."
(Maya Angelou, Mom & Me & Mom, 2013)
