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?

Getting into Hot Water

Today I read the status of a friend on Facebook. She was making a remark about a few topics one of which is fraud in the self-publishing industry. The owner of the publisher was said to have deceived several customers who had completed the payment but received no books they ordered. This immediately arouses my attention as I'm currently running a self-publishing house of my own. What's more agonizing is that those deceived are but bloggers to which I also belong. I'm speaking on behalf of both parties. Getting into hot water means getting a trouble (Credit: yanalya/freepik) She should have been more careful in managing her issues in the publishing business. Regardless of the victims, what she commits is likely to ruin our fellow publishers as well as tantalize blogosphere. This news should be the words of everyone very soon. An idiomatic expression goes with her case. She's getting into hot water which means she's placing herself in great danger. She's both...

How Rain Tree Fights Pollution and Restores Water Resources in Bojonegoro

Pollution has been a major issue that Indonesian people are very concerned about. Big cities like Jakarta and Surabaya have become everybody’s concern since we breathe urban air every single day. While the use of electric vehicles is highly recommended, most people would disagree with various reasons.  Whatever the debate revolves around, the main issue remains. Pollution is inevitable and this young man from Sumberagung, Dander District, Bojonegoro Regency, was encouraged to take real action to restore the deteriorating quality of oxygen in Bojonegoro using the rain tree. The tree is also of great use in bringing back water resources that were diminished due to mining activities.  Rain tree is proven to be able to restore oxygen quality and water resources.   Instead of complaining and launching an aggressive protest, Samsul Arifin Wijoyosukmo initiated GSN which stands for Green Star Nusantara.

Down in The Dumps

I have been down in the dumps lately due to the process of moving out to my hometown. Finding the best vehicle to transport our goods and belonging has been no easy task. Luckily, my brother has helped me out to get a truck from where he is living. On the other side, we have concerns about the capacity of the truck in accommodating our stuff. We don't have lots of things though, but books are our treasure which cannot be left behind. Don't let yourself down in the dumps (Credit: cookie studio/freepik) The truck driver has required us to get him a cover letter from the local district police to keep him secure during the travel. You know what, dealing with police officers and other government officials is something we Indonesians are fed up with. Yes, I'm so worried and feeling uneasy. Unhappy thoughts run through me. Idiomatically, I'm being down in the dumps . Down in the Dumps artinya sangat bersedih, sedang gelisah
