On November 10th, which was well known as Jakarta Clean up Day in our school, though I strongly claimed that I will attend, I woke up very late and didn't attend it. By not showing myself in that important (for me) place, I felt very guilty and worried. In day after that day, which is Monday, I suffered from headache for whole day. I believed that it might be a Karma for not attending in a place that I claimed to be.
Also in November 16th, which was International Tolerance Day (ITD), I claimed that I will wear Batik, Indonesian traditional dress that day. But again in 16th, I forgot to wear Batik and just wore school uniform. In the way to school, I just recognized that it was ITD. Only thing I was wondering in the car was "Damn I have so bad memory!"
In my opinion, blogging is the most hard and distracting job in Global citizen. It is so difficult to increase number of words, because I don't know why but the number of word was still small even I wrote every feeling and thought, different from other writing subjects.

Culture Awareness
In Global Citizen, I watched many presentations from students who are from different countries with high diverse culture. They brought their cultural objects or foods and provided some of them. I have learnt their cultural foods, clothes, location, and many other things and tried some foods. The most impressive thing I felt was that every foods were delicious, though they were very different from what I usually eat. Especially cookie from Lebanon, which Joey brought, was very delicious, even it looked gross for me. By this, I knew that even people from different culture looks different from us, but they are actually similar with us. So from now on, I will not judge other culture (including food) with their looks. In my brief presentation, I chose to become efficient, trying to say only things important about Korea. I presented one of the cultural foods, Korean Pancake, which is special pancake in Korea. I also presented Gangnam, the city that was introduced to whole world by Psy's Gangnam Style. In my opinion, comparing to other's presentation, my presentation was bit poor and lack in information. To be honest, I spend too short time making it. If I can make it again, I would research more and make it longer.
