English Class Oh English Class

Monday, September 17, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

I've been sick since two days ago and having sudden fever in the middle of the night. Haven't been out since then and been absent from my English class. I feel better today though despite I still have a bit cough and headache (is that you call better?).  
Anyway, have I ever told you about my English class? Yeah, I go to English class, at last. You know I haven't been to 'proper' English class before. I learnt English when I was a very young kid in an English course but that was long time ago. Until I found AJ on internet about method to learn English in June 2007, and then I started to learn English more seriously.

AJ's Methods Versus Old Methods

Sunday, September 16, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments

Last night, I was accidentally entered a website which learning English was the main topic of their discussion. What interested me was, AJ's name was mentioned in the topic. One of the forum member asking a question to a man who I supposed he might be the admin of the forum, he was questioning about the works of AJ's methods. The man directly answered to her question and according to him better if people rely on what our English teacher has taught us i.e. grammar rules.

These postings were actually posted in Effortless English VIP forum and the title has been changed from the original, which is the original title is Adjective, Verb, Noun, Gerunds and Infinitives. The posting raised different perspectives from many VIP members Effortless English, however, it was a very good discussion about grammar.  
As this a good discussion of to grammar not to grammar I was thinking to re-published it on my blog. Thank you for Ratu De Blog who has taken apart and giving her knowledge of these complicated grammars :).

To Grammar or Not To Grammar

Friday, September 14, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


I have difficulty to know adjective, verb and noun words. I didn't understand at all when my English teacher alluded to these three things -- in fact,  I'm already in upper intermediate level.

 I realise that this happens because  I haven't been to a proper English class  which usually focusing in grammar rules.

How To Make Money With Your Personal Blog

Thursday, September 13, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


I got few emails recently from bloggers asking how to make money with a personal blog. My blog itself  has only three years experience with making income - not so long ago but might be worthwhile to share my experience if you currently look for information about making money from blogging.

Before, I didn't intend to make a blog for getting income but rather than just writing my personal opinion about things. But then after awhile (nearly a year) the information of getting income from blogging spread on the internet. From there, I started to associate my blog from personal to business blog.

EQ And IQ

Tuesday, September 11, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


Humans are born with different capabilities in physic and intellectual. These what perhaps make some people do and think better in one/some fields but bad in another field. But in a well internship we often find all these capabilities join under such as different departements, and guess what? They tend to achive a great succesfull in their company.

However, many regulations of a company/school prefer to accept only people who posses higher IQ  than EQ, while EQ is pretty effecting in a success. To know how intellect we are, a test/exam is usually given.

What Type Of Defense Are You?

Friday, September 07, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


Defensive is attitude that usually given by someone to cope him/herself for at least their security. The attitude has been studied in psychoanalysis for many decades, or well-know in terms Psychoanalysis as defence-mechanism. It was first coinned by Frued and then developed by his daughter, Anna, that defence appears to cope anxious that caused by the ego.

Psychoanalysis itself defines defence mechanism is a phenomenon activity which often occurs without consciousness. In some circumtances, being defensive is sometimes hard to avoid, but it’s normal. However, although it’s believed to be normal, excessive defensive can lead to such as ‘abnormal’ attitude.

Is There Nothing Better Than A Private School?

Thursday, September 06, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


At 7 o'clock a.m I dropped off  my 10-year-old son into his school. This day would be his first day at his new school. The school has known as one of  good private Islamic schools in Jakarta. A greeting English message was hang in the enter gate school: "A good education for a good future". A very convincing ads for any parents who intend to 'determine' their child's future. But you know a philosophy of  "Don't judge a book by its cover"  is sometimes right that never judge everything too soon.

My son was schooled in a public school or in Sekolah Dasar Negeri in Bahasa. Although I know he's smart enough at his old school,  however, I was worrying about his test to enter the new school. First because the school has won an olympic math in Indonesia, thus I regard this is the strong for him to take a good mark on the test, meanwhile my son has won nothing from his previous school - well, he always got good ranking at his old school (and I'm proud of you son!).

Can You Deal With Negative People?

Tuesday, September 04, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


Dealing with negative people sometimes could influence our response to them. The influences can be in positive or negative but most people would give the same reaction to them (negative response). For many people - specially those who have difficulty with self-esteem and self expression - this situation sometimes can be psychologically distressful.

Learn to lead without being possessive.
Learn to be helpful without taking the credit.
Learn to lead without coercion. ---Lao Tzu, Philosopher---

September evening in Ireland is not really great time to be spent in a cafe and neither at home. Sitting on the couch with my cute notebook as well as a cup of tea with its muffin could perhaps heal the imperfect evening. I've been recently quite sensitive with some fellow around me which is rarely happen to me. I'm not saying that I dislike these fellows, but ... let’s just not talk about it. We have something more useful to talk about anyway.

Education Oh Education

Sunday, September 02, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself."
~John Dewey~

I wish that education in the reality life is just like what the quotation above. I think I've heard myself about that from my parents. The fact is education (formal education) has been marked officially to determine a person's future career (you don't need this if you want to challenge your career in self-employee).


Should We Pretend?

Sunday, September 02, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


Some weeks ago, I deleted some people on my facebook. Absolutely not thinking because they were dislike people, it because based on reasons that I and them had no regulary contact with each other anymore. 

So based on this dodge, I then was thinking: "No reasons to keep these people on the friendlist". I then started to unfriend them one by one from my facebook.


Why Is She So Complicated?

Saturday, September 01, 2012 JS Hanniffy 0 Comments


I very rarely make friends with girls, don't ask me why. Since a kid I'd prefer making friends with boys rather than with girls. I had some friends who were girls when in secondary school and high school, but that was because 'I had no choice'. I'm not lesbo for sure, but I refer that being friends with boys was much easier and more enjoyable than girls, that is likely because most boys were more easy going and open, and like because less rivalry.
