My first notebook! yay :D Hello, my name is Lulus Firda. Actually I don't really like my name. My friends always mocked me, because my name, Lulus, means graduate or pass. It's funny because I always fail in math -__-. I asked my parents why they give me that name, well they said they actually wanna give me name Viorentina (omg that's cool) because my dad loves footbal so much but my aunty said that was too cool for people like us (you know, only rich people should give their child name with cool name too. So it's like a mark, I think, between the rich one and the average one). So my dad give me this name which he thaught not too cool and not too bad either. What the *&%$#@! -__- This year I'm graduate from high school, haha yeah, they like hailed my name almost every minutes in our graduation day. So I'm trying to get into the college right now. I take every test, every chance, every week, so that I can get into university. I'm kinda confused about what major I want to take. I love psychology but my dad wants me to take English literature. Next Monday I'm going to go to Malang city, an apple town yippie, to take another test. I think I'll use motorcycle, and ride it for about 4 hours (oh God, please save my back). But I'm not gonna give up to be a college student, and wish me luck :D

This year I will graduate from high school, haha yeah, they like hailed (not sure what you meant to say) my name almost every minute on our graduation day. So I'm trying to get into college right now. I take every test, every chance, every week, so that I can get into university. I'm kinda confused about what major I want. I love psychology, but my dad wants me to take English literature. Next Monday I'm going to go to Malang city, an apple (apple like iphone?) town yippie, to take another test. I think I'll travel by motorcycle, and ride it for about 4 hours (oh God, please save my back). But I'm not gonna give up on being a college student, and wish me luck :D

Hi Ben, thank's. Bad or good it's the tradition and we should respect it, don't you think? :) Hehe

Hi Lulus, in a way, that's sad because poor people are not even allowed to have their proper names. But in another way, you are also free to create both your name and your surname. By comparison, those who try to stick to their proper names and be proud of their so-called heritages seem more rigid, if not stupid. So, combined, your name means one day you will graduate from one of the heavens. Sounds great. I bet you will pass with good marks!

Hahaha really :D My name is Lulus Firda, my lil bro names is Ilham Akbar, my dad's Samsul Arifin. Weird, huh? :p We don't allowed to have family name because we're not from famous or rich family. Basically, people named their child with a hopeful meaning. Like my name Firda it means one of heavens name in our tradition and my bro's Akbar it means the great one. :)
