gathapraya.

Gathapraya was a cultural event that was awaited by everyone, mainly the students of 3 National High School Bandung that was involved in the process. The date of the event was September 30th 2017 at Lapangan Bali, Bandung, but the committee have worked for months and months before the event. As I'm also a part of the committee, I also experienced the hard work, the pain, all of the things the committee have given in order to make this event more successful than all the previous event.

The name "Gathapraya" itself means hope for the future so this event signifies as our hopes for the ever-growing culture of Indonesia and a sign that all of us youngsters still care for the continuity of the rich and various culture of Indonesia. To make this event successful, the committee worked very hard every single day preparing for the day. We sell food daily at school to increase our budget, sell merchandise, and conducted various sub-event to collect funds and increase the hype and excitement towards the main event.

 Every Sunday, we also a hold cavalcade at Car Free Day located at Dago, Bandung. We always gathered there at 6am in the morning to discuss what we would do and it usually finishes at 10am. There, we usually promotes the event by giving away pamphlets to anyone, play music so we can attract people's attention, and many more.

A Few of the Committee at Car Free Day Dago
 My part of the job at the committee was production manager, so I only work a few days before the actual events, like moving out things and many more. 2 days before the events take place, it was very hectic, many things were not completed and people were actually panicking because it's only 2 days left until the event. Many people, mainly male even spend the night there to finish placing things around.

 Thankfully, the event managed to be held very successfully. Beyond my expectation, many people came to watch the performance.Not many people bought the tickets online so I wasn't expecting much but turns out so many people bought the tickets on the spot, so the venue was quite crowded.
The Stage before the event started
The event started at 12am at noon and opened with the opening from the head of the event and from the governor. After that the performance run smoothly. Before the start of the performance, there was a parade from Sparua to our school. The parade includes people walking with traditional clothing and even there's someone riding on a horse.

The peak of the event,which is according to my opinion, is TISTI's performance, NIDJI's, and HIVI's performance. TISTI is a theater and drama club from my school that was quite famous due to their quality and due to their funny performances but also managed to capture the message and serious things that will blow our mind. NIDJI and HIVI is a local band that was really famous nationwide.

 Lastly, when the event finished and all artists have played on the stage, all the committee gathered around the stage to take a photo together and just talking to each other. Many people cried and we even sang the theme song of 3 National High School together. It was really emotional and I was touched to see just how much people actually gave their effort to making this events successful. The events finished roughly around 11pm so after the committee gathered and I went home, it was around 12pm.

 I was really grateful to be able to take part in something so wonderful and I will surely remember it for the rest of my life.

 Anigatha, Abhipraya, Gathapraya!
My Friend and I

tornado.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a  thunderstorm  to the ground. It's often portended by a dark, greenish sky. Black storm clouds gather. Baseball-size  hail  might fall. A funnel suddenly appears, as though descending from a cloud. The funnel hits the ground and roars forward with a sound like that of a freight train approaching. The tornado tears up everything in its path. The windstorm is often referred to as a twister, whirlwind or cyclone , [1] although the word cyclone is used in meteorology to name a weather system with a low-pressure area in the center around which winds blow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern. [2] Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, and they are often visible in the form of a condensation funnel originating from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust beneath it. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 110 miles per hour (180 km/h),

I started my journey on Taruna Bakti private elementary school and then continuing middle school, also on Taruna Bakti private middle school.   Changing gears from private school to a public school to SMAN 3 Bandung because my parents told me to go around searching for more relations on public school.

Spiny bush viper is venomous snake native to Africa. These snakes live in Congo, Uganda and Kenya. The species typically inhabits regions of rainforest, since these contain large numbers of flowering bushes. Most of these regions remain far from human habitation, making encounters rare . This snake   is known for its extremely keeled  dorsal scales  that give it a bristly appearance and has proven to be more toxic than researchers previously thought. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Suborder: Serpentes Family: Viperidae Genus: Atheris Species: A. hispida PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION In addition to a small size, the Spiny Bush Viper displays a moderate degree of sexual dimorphism. Males attain an average length of approximately 73 cm, while females only average 58 cm. Furthermore, the males have a much more slender shape than the females.  The head has a short snout (more so in males than females). The species also has relatively larg
