Gifts

 Hi, its me again. Yes, i'm back with another stories to tell (Yeay!). How are you guys doing? Doing fine? Good..... because i'm not. Like really, i'm tired of telling all people i'm doing fine when i'm not. Its been a hard time for me. Messi hasn't scored yet with PSG, Barcelona lose against Granada. Indihome connection down (well, i'm not using indihome tho, but allow it), and Kurama sacrificing his life in Boruto. Like come on, gimme a break. Anyway, enough about my rant. Today, i'm gonna talk about something interesting. Something interesting? Yes. What is it? Bitcoin raise? No. Um, your new phone? No. Then what is it? I'm gonna talk about GIFT. Um......that's not interesting. Shush!

 Do you have favorite characters? If yes, then congrats.....you're normal. If you don't, you're lying....stop the cap. And because they're your favorite characters, then you should know all about them. Their face, their backgrounds, their characteristics, etc. Now, imagine someone asking you to give your favorite characters..... a gift. But why? Why not. I mean, they're not real. We can't do that. Remember, there is nothing impossible in your imagination, my child. Now, surely everyone has their own opinions and choices. But, let me show you mine....

 So the first one is Jazz from Transformers (You can watch it here).


 


But Alex, i thought your favorite character from the Transformers series is Drift. You're a liar! Yes, yes, i know, calm down. Yes, my favorite character from Transformers is Drift. But, i don't have anything to say about him. I can't find a good topic for him. What should i give him? Ramen noodle? No, that's racist. That's why i picked my second favorite character, Jazz. Jazz is like that one friend in school that get all the ladies (a giga chad). But unfortunately, he got killed by The Decepticons, in the first movie (#NeverForget). He can transformed into a Pontiac Solstice GXP, which is not the best car you could get....but still looks awesome. Now, what gift should i give him? I should give him.......a better wheel rim. I mean, look at this...


 Don't get me wrong, that's a good rims.....but not for me.The design is too weird, and it look like a common rims you get when you buy a sport car. I think they should've made it better, like installing a custom rims. Maybe like this Volk Racing TE37 Black Edition...


 Yes, it's not the best rim you can get. But at least its better than his original one (in my opinion). Also, because Jazz's car look like a racing car, so i thought this would be perfect for him. Wait, no JDM? Why don't you use JDM? JDM is better than any of your suggestions! Yes, i know. I just want to give him a better rims. Please don't attack me :(

 And the second man is Jigen from Boruto (You can read it here, its in english btw). Now, most of you probably never read Boruto. So, let me show you who Jigen is...


 If you guys still questioning my decision of why he is one of my favorite character, then i don't know what's wrong with you. I mean look at him. His hair, his eyes, his horn, his neck gear, his karma power that looked like a tattoo, the black thingy on his stomach. He is the perfect villain. But Alex, who is he? I never see him in Naruto. Okay, let me explain. His name is Jigen, and he is the leader of this organization called Kara. He is not an ordinary human. He's been possesed by this alien creature named Isshiki Otsutsuki, the partner of Kaguya Otsutsuki (if you watch Naruto, then you should know who Kaguya is). He can shrink all objects (except living creatures), and his hobby is stabbing people with black rods (what a mad lad).Now for my gift, i will give him a cloak. A BETTER CLOAK, like this...

See, if he wears something like this, he's gonna look a lot cooler. A creepy design, dark colors, skull as a belt. It looks perfect. He is a creepy man, so he should wear a creepy suit. Or at least wears something that make you look like a god. I mean, look at Isshiki's cloak before he possesed Jigen...


 He look sick! But again, if he wears this, then everybody will know that he is an Otsutsuki. But still, he should've done better. I know Jigen is originally a monk, but its not an excuse to not a have a sick drip! Come on Jigen, you're almost perfect. Its just....you look like a 40 year old man that took the wrong path in life. He is one of my favorite characters in all Naruto franchise. Its just sad that he's dead now. #RIPJIGEN

 And that's it for today. Yup, another short post, i'm so sorry. If you're still reading up to this point, thank you so much. Now if you excuse me, i will take a nap. Thank you for reading, and i will see you in my next post (please be there.......okay?). And most importantly, don't forget to drink water.

Suit Up!

 Hi, its me again. This is my 3rd post, and in this post i will tell you 2 of my fav fiction stories, my fav character from the stories, and i will introduce them in a first person point-of view (introduce myself as them). Also, a little bit of disclaimer........im not in the mood to write right now, so this post is gonna be a short one. So without further ado, lets go....

 So the first story is Arthas : Rise of the Lich King


 Now, maybe some of you know that im a die-hard warcraft fanboy. And yes, my fav character from this series is Arthas Menethil. But Alex, why Arthas? Illidan was way better, or Thrall maybe? oh...what about Sylvanas? Yes, Arthas is definitely not the best character in the entire series. But i never said he was. Its just i love him, all aspects. Story, design, voice, even his name. Anyway, if you dont know anything about this story, its basically telling the story of a young boy, Arthas Menethil. From the prince of the Lordaeron kingdom, until joining the dark side for the purpose of gaining a tremendous powers, and becoming one with the Lich King itself. Now, im gonna let him introduce himself....
 "Hello Mortals, my name is Arthas Menethil, and i am the Lich King, the leader of all the Scourges. I believed that someone called Christie  Golden was my creator, but none of that matter.....because now im free, and everyone who dare to oppose me, they will perish. I live in Icecrown Citadel. And if you come to visit me, i will introduce you to my dragon,Sindragosa. What was that? Oh something that i hated the most? Well, if you cant tell already......I hate everything. But, i really angry when i heard that the Burning Legion want to kill me, so that they can take full controls of all the Scourges. I swear i will kill them all. THEY SHALL KNOW THE POWER OF NER'ZHUL!!!".

Anyway, enough of that wild imagination. Lets move on to the next story.
So the second story is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
 

A lil disclaimer....This is an old story (like seriously old, and also, i think this story is banned since the 80s, so i dont recommend reading this. But because i already listened to this before, im gonna tell you the story here. So you dont have to read it.), so you may find some words offensive. Anyway, Why this story? Of all the stories you could find, why picked this? Well, thats because this is the only story that i've listened to. Yep, listen.....audiobook form. So, this story is about Huck's most exciting adventure (obviously, lol). The story about him running from his family, especially his father, and starting an adventure with a slave named Jim. Anyway, lets meet my fav character from this story....
 "Hello, my name is Huckleberry Finn. Nice to meet you. Uhm, have you met Jim yet? No? Well, im gonna introduce you to him later, he is a good guy. My creator? I think his name is Mark Twain....or something, i cant remember. Uhm, i lived in Missouri before, but as you can see now, i live with Jim in this little boat. Things that i like, huh? Maybe when im finally free from my family, so now i can go to where-ever i want. I just hope that i dont have to met my father again....".

 And yeah, thats it for today. Sorry for the short blog post, because i really not in the mood today. But i hope that ican tell you more in my next blog post. Anyway, if you're still reading up to this point, thank you so much. Now if you excuse me, im gonna try to sing Despacito in french. Thanks for reading, and last but not least, dont forget to drink water.

My Emoji Stories

 Hi again, its me. Yes, im back wih another stories to tell (its not specifically my story tho, but allow it fam). Today im gonna tell you 2 of my fav short stories from ER Central, and giving an emoji that represent my thought on those stories. If you dont know what ER Central is, its basically a place where you can test your english skills by reading a short stories, or listening to a short conversation clips.

 So, my first story is.....A Dog and Cat Love Story (Level 9.10). Its a story about a stray cat and a classy dog falling in love (crazy). Its made by Diane (big props!) and its a drama/human interest story (i personally think this is a romance story tho, but alright). It contains 524 words, and it took me 2 minutes and 56 seconds to finished it. And my emoji for this story is....




 I never liked a romance stories in my entire life. I always thought they are not realistic, over-dramatic, and rubbish. But when i read this story, the first word that come from my mouth was aww (not even joking). So here i am, not shedding a single tears when watching Titanic, but saying aww when reading this story....mad. I think now i know why my friends calling me weird. So why do you like this story Alex? Is this story relatable to your life? Absolutely not
 So in this story, a stray cat was lying on the floor because he (the cat is a male btw) doesn't have enough energy to do anything. He is hungry and he's not eating for a few days. And then, this classy dog (female) came from out of nowhere, giving him a drinks and inviting him to her owner's house. And long story short, they fell in love with each other. But then, the owner found out that the dog bring a stray, ugly cat home, and then kick both of them (cat and dog) out of the house. But they are still together, because they love each other. Relatable? No. But jokes aside, this is a good story. Do i like it? Yes. Do i want to read it again? Yes. Giving it a 5 star? No. Why? Why not

  And the second story is.....TV (Level 7.10). Its not a story, but more like a conversation about TV (wow). Its made by ELLLO , it contains 217 words, and it took me 1 minute and 49 seconds to finished the story. and the emoji for this story is....


 Theres nothing to say about this story. Its just a conversation between a man and a woman about TV. And the woman is saying that TV is bad for people, because there is a lot of un-educative programs (what a boomer). But she's also saying that in japanese TV, there are still some good and educative programs (she said this because she lived in Japan). Overall, a 6/10 for me. Not really an interesting story, but still a good one. Man....compared this to the cat and dog one, its like night and day.(No disrespect to ELLLO tho).

 So thats i for today. If you're still reading this up to this point, thank you so much. Now im gonna play some poker with my grandpa. Anyway, goodbye. And last but not least, dont forget to drink water.

English and Me

 Hi everyone! welcome to my blog. After all this years, i finally had my own blog. Oh yeah, i almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Alexander Sebastian, peoples usually call me Alex or Lex. I'm 18 y.o. and i'm from Pati, Central Java.

 Okay, so what is this blog? What am i gonna upload? Or this is gonna be another failure project? Well, long story short, i went to Uni, and i attend an ICC class (Integrated Communicative Course). And this blog is the place to submit all of the assignment from that class. So as long as i attend that class, i'll always post something in this blog. But why Alex's English Hut? Well, thats's because every post in this blog is gonna be in english (well i maybe gonna throw a little Indonesian language here and there, but mostly is english), and i couldn't find a better name than that....I'm sorry.

 Anyway, in this first post, i'm gonna tell you about my english experience. Lets just say, it is not a good start. My family is not good with english, and so am i. Back then, i only speak Indonesian language. I can't even speak javanese properly. But i can't blame my family for all that. Well thats because we live in a small city where only certain people can speak english, and anytime i tried to speak english, one of my friend will shout "Sok inggris lu!". And i just jealous to the people who can speak english properly. I always thinking "wow, their english is so dope, i hope i can be like that someday". So i keep learning and learning, doing some exercises, and now here i am....Studying english in SWCU (what a progression)

 And now...its time for the backstories, Who introduced you to english? Well, it goes back to 2015, when i received my first BlackBerry phone......and become a YouTube addict. Back then, i always watch youtube, anytime, non-stop, 24/7. And back then, there's only a few Indonesian youtuber that i found funny, the rest of them i just found it boring (its just my opinion, please don't hurt me). So i tried to search for a foreign youtube channels. and i found PewDiePie


          (Source : https://www.tubefilter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/pewdiepie-youtube-subscribers.jpg)

 PewDiePie is the first foreign youtubers i found, and i totally addicted to him (no homo tho...). And obviously, he speaks english. So to enjoy his content, i need to know what he's talking about. And back then, my method to understand english is by watching him without subtitle (believe it or not), and it works (also because back then, there is no subtitle......only the auto-generated one, i think). Also, i learn english from games......specifically Warcraft III : The Frozen Throne. I also watch some movies, and listen to western music. So i keep splashing my brain with english words over and over.

 Speaking of english, my fav english skill is reading. Why? because you just need to read.....nothing more. You just need to read and understand the text you just read. And the one i don't like is speaking. Because.....i'm a shy person. When i speak, once i slipped, i just want to evaporate from this world.

 And if you can't tell, my english is not that good. My grammar is a mess, and my spelling is not that good either. And my pronounciation is the worst. But hey, that is the reason why i go to Uni, to improve my english skill, and increase my confidence. Believe and You Shall Achieve.

  I think thats it for today. If you still reading up to this point, i just wanna say thank you so much. Now if you excuse me, i need to watch Boris Johnson funny moments compilation. Anyway, see you in my next post. And most importantly, don't forget to drink water.
