What School Did You Go to?

It's something new again in blogging. Another hot issue strikes blogosphere here in our country. It's about event bloggers--those who are keen on attending any events in hope they'll be receiving particular souvenir included in the goodie bag. Of course, free lunch is also a target.
As you certainly know, there's no such thing as free lunch. Brands or event organisers invited bloggers in order that they write on the blog what they have experienced during the occasion instead of simply taking the free stuff.
"Where school did they go to?" is an appropriate expression to refer to what these bloggers commit. They have been thinking incorrectly by neglecting the expectations of the inviters. This idiom is valid since what they do doesn't make any sense.
The word 'school' in the idiom doesn't refer to any real school they used to attend. It is used to show as if they have never attended a class that they couldn't demonstrate integrity by doing what's required of them. The way they behave shows the absence of attitude.
What School Did One Go to? artinya Kayak gitu aja ga paham, dapat pemahaman dari mana itu?

Off the Beaten Track

Back to the years of senior high school, I was once spending a night in my best friend's home. While his village is administered to Lamongan Regency, the location was quite far from the capital city and was actually closer to Bojonegoro administration. I couldn't hide my surprise when spotting the houses as well as the street in the village. They were totally different from I normally see in my neighborhood. The houses looked so outmoded that I almost forgot my whereabouts. Off the beaten track = very remote (Credit: wirestock/freepik) I jokingly said to him, "Man, is the village of yours still under Soekarno presidency or what?" He responded with a smile. The objects in the village tended to create a particular ambiance of antiquity. Something very old-fashioned. In order to get to the place, we had to take a bus and then ride a rented motorcycle as there was no other public transport available. When I had to poop, my friend led me to a large river where a...

Flying Off The Handle

Any status published on Facebook, or its sister Instagram, is likely to trigger a conflict among netizens.
