My Adolescence
I had my adolescence when I was thirteen.
It started with acne that showed up on my face. It was very annoying. It
lowered my self-esteem and I was embarrassed to come out of my house
and play with friends.
Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine. In three weeks, the acnes
started to vanish although those showed some black spots in my face.
That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still lots of good experience too.

My First Experience to Ride Motorcycle
ditulis oleh Resdwitarini
One day, when I was ten years old, my father bought an old motorcycle.
That was " Honda 75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride
it. I persuaded my father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly,
my father refused my request and promised that he would teach me two or
three years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father
surrendered and promised to teach me.
He began to teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my
village. My father was very patient to give me some directions. I was
very happy when I realized my ability to ride a motorcycle. " Yes, I can
".
One day later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding
ability. So, myself tried bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning,
but when I was going back to my home and I must passed through a narrow
slippery street, I got nervous. I lost my control and I fell to the
ditch.
After that, I told my father about the last accident. I imagined my
father would be angry and never let me ride again. But the reality is
exactly on the contrary, my father was very proud of me. He just gave me
some advices and since that accident, I got my father's permission to
ride motorcycle.

A Page from A Girl's Diary
ditulis oleh Pratama Lysa Hapsari
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought nothing would happen, but I was wrong.
That night, I was
watching television with my family when I heard someone lit fireworks
in my front yard. I peeped trough my window glass but could see
nothing. It was very dark outside. Then I thought it had to be my
cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa again and
tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with
disappointment that no one gave something special on my birthday. I
shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five
minutes later my mobile beeped. It was a text from my friend asking me
to come out. Wondering what was going on, I grabbed my jacket and
hurried to the front door. I was surprised to see her bring a bag full
of firework and fire drills. Next I was surprised to see my other friend
come out from the darkness. She brought a beautiful birthday cake on
her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me who was
too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing furiously
because my whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors too!
A plain day, or I
thought it was before, turned out to be one of the greatest moment in
my life. I didn’t even know how to describe what I felt. Happy was the
simplest word.
