Explanation Text : Moonbow

Rainbow and its beautiful colors may identical with sun refraction which is happened at daytime.But, there is an unique natural phenomenon when the usual rainbow appears at night.

That phenomenon is called "Moonbow". Moonbow (or lunar rainbow or white rainbow) is a rainbow which is formed by sunlight's reflection to the moon and that reflection, is refracted by water droplets. Moonbow can happen in anywhere, as long as the requirements are available.
But, because moonbow is only using the reflection of sunlight, it is looked blur and not as strong as rainbow. Sometime, moonbow only appears as white light around the moon.

Moonbow needs a few requirements, such as the moonlight has to be strong enough. It is happened at nearly eclipse or at eclipse. The moon has to be at 42^ or lower and the sky has to be clear and not cloudy. For your information, if the water droplets are moving toward the moon, it will make the moonbow looked stronger.

My Holiday

Last holiday, I went to Malang, East Java. I went there by train and the journey was really tiring because I got the hard sleeper ticket. I was listening to music along the journey. The train left Bandung at approximately 3 p.m and arrived at the next morning which was at 7 a.m. I called my grandfather to pick me up at Malang Kota Baru train station. I had to wait a while for my grandfather’s car. In the middle of waiting, I saw a red car coming. That’s my grandfather’s car! I got in and after saying hello and greeting them, we told each other’s stories along the ride. Not for a long time, I saw the building. Well, my grandfather’s house was pretty big and located in the middle of the city. It was close with Malang Town Square, and University of Barawijaya. It had approximately 12 rooms and half of it was being rent. Some college students were the costumers. At night, the second floor of the house was used to be a cafe. The second floor had a very big balcony so that it was called “Balcony Cafe” but no! Actually its name was Ngopienet Cafe and it was belong to my uncle although the buliding was my grandfather’s. As soon as we arrived at the house, I put my belonging as well as those heavy bags. I was sure I didn’t bring things which were not impotant but it was still pretty heavy. After taking bath, my grandfather told me that he was going to go to my uncle’s house. I was excited and said yes. My uncle had a cute son who was aged 8 months. His name was Keenan. He liked to smile these days, said my aunty, the last time I contacted her. When I arrived at the house, I rushed toward to door and knocking it. When the door opened, I saw my aunty was holding baby Keenan. I was surprised and immidiately kissed Keenan. He was fatter than in the photo, which my uncle had shared via Facebook and LINE. I played with Keenan and a little helped my aunty to look after Keenan. Sadly, we could not stay too long because my grandmother was waiting in the house alone. So, we headed back to my grandfather’s house. At night, my grandfather ask me if I wanted to go to my aunt house which was at Surabaya. I joined and the journey took approximately 2 hours. We were not stay for a long time because we only picked up my cousin. And from that day, when we got back to Malang, I spent my holiday in my grandfather's house. I didn't even remember how boring that situation was and how I survived through that.

School's Sport Week : Dewa Athena

My school have an annual sport event called Dewa Athena. It was started on Saturday, 17th of February. There were many sport fields which was played. There was another event which was held on the same day,too. It was the opening of Belitung Muda Cup. That event was opened with football game between 2015 girls and 2016 girls. The game was very exciting. Girls of 2015 scored 3-0. Congratulations!

Back to Dewa Athena, my class had been scheduled to play tarik tambang and estafet run. Tarik tambang is a game where you need to pull a rope as long as you can until your opponent can’t pull back the rope. Unfortunately, my class was beaten by SPAM (X IPA 5). We was sad but promised that we would win the next game. Next, we had an estafet run battle. We played it smoothly until we won that game. When we were going to shout our class’ motto, the MC shout to us “Hey watch out your friend there!” when we looked at the direction he was pointing, we saw Alif was slumped on the running track. We ran toward him as fast as possible. Actually, before the game was started, he had an injury on his knee, but he forced himself to play. That day, we found out that friendship was really a treasure. We might not win in all sport fields but we would always won in solidarity!
