- Journalist, really? Hello there. It's been very long time not being active in this website. This is my first note after 3 years. I'm an editor in a lifestyle online media for millennial women, like Popsugar or Cosmopolitan. All the articles I've written and edited is in my language, not in English. When people ask me, "What's your job?" I usually say, "A journalist." Yes, I've studied journalism in college. As an editor, I'm also a reporter. But 'journalist' word sounds strange for me because I'm not a qualified one. Qualified, it means you have to do various trains and tests to get journalist card that exclusively released by Press Council in my country. That's not easy to get that special card because once you successfully get that card, you are a legitimate journalist. When you hear the word 'journalist', what do you think? What I think is someone who reports what's happening out there, writes news about politic/economic/crime. What I do is reading articles from women websites like Popsugar, Glamour, writing articles about dating, like '7 Signs He's The One You've Been Waiting For' or 'His Zodiac Sign Tells What Kind of Husband He Is In The Future'. So sometimes I feel that I don't deserve calling myself as a journalist. What do I do everyday? I write and edit articles, interview celebs, collect ideas what to write next, handle some contributors and suggest them what to write, etc. So, what do you think? Should I deserve to call myself a journalist or maybe I should introduce myself with other job title?March 27, 201800
- My summary Mega is a composed young woman who has passion in the online media industry. She likes to write and read any kind of books and her ability to pay attention to details makes her want to be an editor. Inspite of her educational background, she finds culture and literature as her hidden bliss. She possesses the savior and INTJ personality types, in which she likes to help people in order to raise awareness or discuss philosophical issues. Deep conversation with logical approach attracts her.March 20, 201520
- Don't you really care? I think some of you know these two popular songs titled "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor and "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift. At a glance, these two songs are about their reactions towards the bad talks directed to them. They seem don't care what people said. Meghan tried to stand out and said that having big body is okay and beautiful, and yes she referred to herself. Actually I don't really like that music and I realized what this is all about after I read the lyrics. So many people like it because of the lyrics, they say this song gives them inspiration and confidence. And apparently she's not as fat as I thought before. She looks okay for me and many American men like curvy woman like her. Just wait how long this song can change people's mindset that big is okay. I don't get the point. And for "Shake It Off", I really enjoy the music and the lyrics is so catchy but doesn't she really care if she made this song? If she doesn't care, why did she make the song? To tell the world that she doesn't care at all and too busy dancing in the video as if she doesn't have time to care? I don't get the point. But still, this song inspires me, makes me forget things I shouldn't think of.March 16, 201500
I think what you mean is grammar of English because grammar in American/British/Australian English are generally the same. They are differed by accents and words. I think tenses are the most important part of English grammar, at least that's why all my English teachers at school asked their students to master them. There're tons of websites about tenses you can learn.

Just for fun, I've been imagining this for a long time
I have read articles about zombie and science, and they said that scientists believe it could happen and I don't remember the possibility percentage.Then I got some odd questions in my head. When I watch the series, I usually think some things if it were real or it wasn't a series. I've never seen the actors, at least one of them, wore bright clothes. Just imagine if it happened in real life, the life surrounded by zombies might not look as dark as the series if some of them have worn bright clothes. I wonder if it were real, how long they didn't take a shower and didn't get skin disease.
Do you also have thoughts like mine when you watch the walking dead or other fantasy series/movie?
