Life is Love Others

Theme: Friendship

After you read my article about “Love in Friendship”, you should read this also. It continues ‘till the end of my article.

Now, I will tell you about the friendship in novel entitle “Wonder Girls” by Jillian Brooks. Along I read this book, I am happy and suddenly I cried at the end.

Wonder girls are children’s book series consisting of eight volumes written by Jillian Brooks. I have read this book when I was Junior High School grade 7^th.

The first volume is “The New Girl”. The story is about Traci McClintic has just moved to wonder Lake with her family.  Mother who is a music schoolteacher, father who is a doctor works at a new clinic in Wonder Lake and her older brother, Dave. Now she's a new girl and has to find a way to make new friends at a new middle school, and face new challenges. A year older than she is, Traci is looking forward to seeing Felicia, her summer friend, and meets Amanda and they become friends but Arielle seems mean and selfish, but she is not, when Felicia starts hanging out with Arielle and seems to be closer to her, Traci doesn't know how to deal. It’s about a girl who moves to a new place and has to cope with making new friends and having a mother as her homeroom teacher. This becomes a struggle after she accidentally injures the most popular girl, Arielle, during soccer practice.  But despite the odds, she's determined to make it wonderful!

Second is “Team Player”. It’s about Arielle's going to prove that she isn't selfish-and maybe meet her fave singer as well. But no way is she doing this just for herself!




Third is “Troublemaker”. It’s about Felicia doesn't like it that her dad is dating. It's weird! It's causing tension among her friends. If this keeps up, they won't be talking to each other at all! Can they fix things? Or is their friendship over?


Fourth is "And The Winner Is...".


Fifth is “Perfect Harmony”. 


Sixth is “The Makeover”. 


Seventh is “Birthday Blues”. It’s Felicia’s feeling that she can't believe that she is finally turning twelve. She is excited because her three best friends are coming to her party.


Eighth is”Growing Pains”. It’s about Amanda. She is devastated when she learns that the school board may cut funding for the art department. While encouraging the school board to change their minds, Amanda fights with her friends about how the money should be use.

There are four best friends in the series:

• Amanda: Begins going out with Traci's brother Dave in "Growing Pains."
• Felicia: She doesn't like fighting or getting involved. Father runs an animal shelter and mother owns a bakery.
• Arielle: She is popular. Stubborn, always needs to get her way, selfish but sometimes opens up a little.
• Traci: her character on the story was seeing on her eyes. She moves from South Carolina with her brother Dave and her mother, and her father.

Actually, this is a cool book. The actors are so cool. I love Traci.  She is so awesome, Arielle is somewhat snobby, Felicia is quiet and Amanda is smart enjoy! They fulfill each other everyday, although they have so many problems to face. They become a real best friends since each of them realize their falls.

If I look at my real life, I have close friends like them; I called them “SSB”. Don’t force me to say what is the acronym, it’s rather disgusting but unique for me. SSB is consists of some of my classmate, XI Science 6. I think we are rather close each other and we have same feeling at that time, we share our problems, take photos together, until that day come. We buy bracelet on a shop with Rp. 5.000,- to make sure that we are really “SSB”. So funny! What a stupid thing! Our story is such a varieties, that’s why I wanna share to you all about my relation with them! I love them.

Thanks for all your care, SSB. I love you as always.

Love in friendship

Theme: Friendship

I love to tell about this topic. Friendship is one of the best theme that I eager to explore.

This is the cover of the novel

I ever read for some books about friendship. The tittles are 5 cm, wonder girls, Ai, etc. 5 cm is novel written by Donny Dhirgantoro. Ai is novel written by Winna Efendi. Wonder girls are novel written by Jillian Brooks. I will tell about 5 cm first. So, let us start!

5 cm is a novel contains about hundred pages. The story is about 5 person who has good relationship. We have known them as best friends. They are Genta, Riani, Zafran, Arial and Ian. All five have different properties different. Genta is considers as the leader and the leader of their group. Genta is trusted person for his best friends. But, Genta himself quietly put feelings on Riani. They were try to far apart for 3 months to feel how the meaning of missing. That is the problem! After 3 months, they meet in railway station. Then, they go to the Semeru or Mahameru Mount, which is located in Malang region. There they had their adventure with all of struggle and face the difficulties to get the peak. On the journey, they are together and help each other. Then I get some point on their friendship.

First: 5 cm is about not ever give up.
Well maybe that's the meaning of the contents of this novel never give up. Believe in ourselves if we could. Let your beliefs, 5 centimeters hang floating in front of you, and after that you need to just walk that will go much further than usual, the hand that will do more than usual, the eyes will stare longer than usual, the neck will be more frequent look up. Struggle that a thousand times harder than steel, the heart has to work harder than usual, and the mouth that will always pray, Believe in 5 centimeters in front of your forehead.

Second: Improve Nationalism

What does the mean? Nationalism is not to be measure by what you say, you watch or you did. Simply to put you at the bottom of your heart about that, however you can not change who you are, where you were born, who your parents, just like you can not change that you were born, lived, ate in Indonesia, homeland motherland and loving way This country is trying to build and protect your way.

Third: Honesty and Friendship
There was a time where there is a misunderstanding and resentment with another friend. Sometimes we would prefer to let her and talked about the nature of evil to others. I could not find in this novel. I love with those principles as if to say, "It's useless if we talk about the ugliness behind him, yet he's also not going to change" so what happens is the heart-to heart conversations resolve all misunderstandings. Because it was a lesson for me and for other readers are advantages and disadvantages take your friends, if there's something you do not like straight talk better in each one, though sometimes it's difficult for both parties.

Fourth: Love Story
The author describes the five character's love story without compromising the essence / meaning of friendship as it does further highlight novel about friendship than romance. How did it end up that destiny cannot be in force. If like that, it will not mate anywhere.

Fifth: inviting adventurous
A trip from Jakarta to the poor to climb the highest peak on the island of Java, "Mahameru". A journey that is full of faith, dreams, ideals, and love.

Then, If I connect it to my real relationship to my close friend, Sista. I have the answer. Our relationship is like fire and water. Actually, we never have the similarities at all, but we have so many differences. That’s why I call it fire and water. However, each of us can control us. For example, If I lazy to study, she invite me to study together to make me read a book at least. Nah, from that I can learn that we actually can help each other in every part of our life. Then if we loyal to them, we will get good feedback and we can get their love, that’s what I call “Love in friendship”.

You love shoes and I love cat so much

It's like us: April and Sista

I love this quote; actually, it reminds me about her. Thanks for everything, Sista.
