Research Design

A.     Introduction Research has been defined in a number of different ways, and while there are similarities, there does not appear to be a single, all-encompassing definition that is embraced by all who engage in it. One definition of research is used by the OECD, "Any creative systematic activity undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this knowledge to devise new applications. Another definition of research is given by  John W. Creswell , who states that r esearch is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue. It consists of three steps: pose a question, collect data to answer the question, and present an answer to the question. The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines research in more detail as "studious inquiry or examination; especially: investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and ...

Language and Linguistics

A.     Introduction Language is a system that consists of the development, acquisitions, maintenance, and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a language is any specific example of such a system. Actually, many definitions of language have been proposed. For example, from Merriam Webster, language is the system of words or signs that people use to express thoughts or feelings to each other. Language is the use of a system of communication which consists of a set of sounds or written symbols. Language can also refer to various means of communication. Language, as described above is species specific to human beings. The primary purpose of language is to facilitate communication, it’s the transmission of information from one person to another. The scientific study of language is called linguistics . Linguistics will study morphology, syntax, phonetics, and semantics. Specific branches of linguistics incl...

You're enough.

WELL, HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh well, sorry, I'm just too excited to share something with you guys. It's been a while! So, how are you? I hope that you're all good even though your days may be hard sometimes, but it's okay. You're stronger than you think. Has anyone ever commented on your body shape, skin color, weight and stuff? I'm sure they all have done that to you. But you know what? It doesn't really matter, I know, sometimes it gets hard to hear all of that shit, but trust me, you're more than that. Those things don't define you. Your beauty is more than just your body, skin color, weight and stuff. Your value is more than that. Nobody can tell you that you're ugly just because you have this body, your skin is like that, you're too skinny, you're too fat and whatsoever. F*** them who tell you those harsh things. ~~ So, I've been reading about this self-love lately, and it's so good for me. I'd ...

It's been a while....?

How are you? I hope everything in your life is alright even though you feel it's not alright at all, but it will. I just realized that I've been abandoned my blog for months. Well, it's not about I have nothing to write, because.... I will always have something to write, even it's just me, having a bad day. Since I have none to talk to about my day, I end up writing. So believe me, I will always have something to write. I'm not good at speaking up, it's not because I have nothing to say, it's because I have so much things to say, I don't even know how to get started. if you were asking me how's my life? I can say it's pretty....bad? no, it's not because I miss my ex. Because it's just bad. All I feel is just tired, everyday. I'm not going to complain about how bad it is. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm still here, breathing fine. I just need time to get back to do the thing I love; writing. And I'm...

Living with Doubts

Last night, I had this conversation with my bitchy friend (ooops, sorry.) We usually insulting each other but doesn't mean we hate each other. Forget it. It was late at night and you know, at that time we either talk about pervert things or some things serious about this life. Don't call us "us" if we both don't talk about pervert things. Because damn, we can talk it all day with no worries about what people will think and say. We were talking about some things that consist "sexual things", as always. But I didn't know what just happened, all of a sudden we started talking about feelings and doubts that we have on ourselves. It's getting serious. I didn't even plan to talk about so. Neither did she. It just happened and getting deeper???????????? Maybe an angel shared their positivity to us because it's Ramadhan. No, just kidding. I'm sorry angel. I didn't mean it. She told me that sometimes she doubts herself till shit...

Depression kills you.

Hello guys, how's your day so far? I'm here to talk about something uncommon. Guess what it is... Yes, it's depression. What do you think about it? Is there something that pops up in your mind? No matter what you think about it, I want to assure you, it's not something you should hide from anyone, I assure you that it's okay to feel this thing. And I'm sure you're not the only one who survives this. Because I've been dealing with it, too. And it's okay. Some people think when you're dealing with it, it means you're crazy. But I'm here to prove you that you are wrong. There's popular misconception that depression is just being sad when something in your life goes wrong. When you break up with your girlfriend or boyfriend, when you lose your loved one, when your pet dies, when you don't get the job you wanted, that's sadness. That's a natural thing in life. That's a natural human emotion. Real depression is b...
