English Revelation
I’ve run this blog from the first time with the gut that my English is pathetic. Why the heck I write this blog in English? Truth is, I want to learn it while doing blogging. I found interesting things everyday on my life, whether in works or fun. And I want to share it. The best way to share to every people in the world, you guess it, in English. Feel sorry, of course. But, nothing can block you to share something. May be some folks like you just smiled at me, and willing to correct me. Like some of you did, previously. And thank you very much.
The trouble with someone who are never educated properly like me is, you tend to make everything easy. That was huge mistake of course. So I think starting today, I had resolution to polish my English. Here is my today’s revelation, be better in English. I remember I had two great books on my bookshelf. They are: The Oxford Essential Guide to Writing and A Practical English Grammar. Yesterday, I pulled out those book, and placed it in front of my screen.
I hope I success with it.
Trivia: am I made some mistake in this post? :-)

Pathetic? Don’t think so.
If you call this pathetic then you’ve extremely insulted me — considering that my English is much worse than yours.
Happy blogging, pak Arif!

Dear Mas Arif,

Thanks and regards.

@Marissa: Thank you.
@Hidayat: I found this book at local bookstore here in Jakarta, Gramedia. May be you can easily found them on secondhand book market, because I’ve often see it there. Wish you luck!
