GAMARVANI 2015 : GEMILANG CINTA NEGERI

Last month, my school held an amazing event. It was Gamarvani. Gamarvani is a culture fesatival which held as annual event by 3 Senior High School Bandung. This event designed to make teenagers in Bandung know and love our culture. That’s why many West Java’s culture can be found in this festival, such as wayang golek performed by Giri Harja, pencak silat, angklung performed by KPA 3, and many more.

So what is Gamarvani? Gamarvani taken from two Latin words. ‘Gama’ which means ‘a trip’ and ‘parvani’ which means ‘going to moon’. So, Gamarvani means ‘a trip to moon’. Why it was named so? Because the theme of this festival is taken from a folklore titled ‘Nyi Anteh’.

I’m going to tell you a little part of the story.

“There were two girls lived in a palace. They were Princess Endahwarni, the daughter of the king and the queen, and Anteh, the daughter of the lady-in-waiting. Although Anteh wasn’t her sister, Endahwarni loved Anteh like her little sister.

One day, Princess Endahwarni would get married with a prince named Anantakusumah. A week before the wedding, Prine Anantakusuma came to talk about the wedding ceremony. While he passed the garden to the palace, he saw a beautiful girl. He thought the girl was Princess Endahwani but he was wrong. The girl was Anteh. Since that, Prince Anantakusuma fell in love with Anteh, even when he became Endahwarni’s husband.

Princess Endahwarni felt so angry when she knew that her husband fell in love with Anteh. So, she asked Anteh to leave the palace. Anteh felt very sad. She went to her hometown and lived with her uncle.

Years passed and Endahwarni missed Anteh very much. She started looking for Anteh, and found her became a very famous tailor. Anteh was married and have two children. Endahwarni asked Anteh to go back to the palace and worked there as the palace tailor. Anteh agreed, and she lived in the palace with her little family, and her cat named Candramawat.

Anteh was very happy that she could go back to the palace. But she didn’t know that the prince still love her. It was a beautiful evening and the moon was full when Anteh and her cat, Candramawat, were in the garden. Anteh was weaving the dress. Suddenly, the prince come to her and asked her to marry him. Anteh was so surprised and ignoring the prince. But the prince didn’t want to let her go. Anteh was very scared, and she prayed to God to save her.

Suddenly moonlight covered his body. Slowly the light lifted Anteh and Candramawat to the moon. The prince was very shocked. He was very sorry but it was too late. Anteh was never came back to earth.

People said that we still can see the image of Nyai Anteh and her cat during the moon full.”

That’s a good story, isn’t it? Gamarvani took that folklore as the theme because not everyone in Bandung know this story.

Gamarvani held on September 19^th 2015, in Bali Field, Bandung. A month before this event held, my seniors recruiting students in grade 10 to be the crew. Almost a half of grade-10-students take that chance. We’re very excited to participate and help our seniors to succeed this event. We divided into several division according to our interest and capability such as division event, decoration, publication, documentation, public-relations, and many more. Our leader is Kang Ababil Akram, a student in grade 12. I think he really good as our captain!

Hard, easy, tired, happy, sad… We faced it together. Our intention is only to success of this event!

It was a day before Gamarvani and school atmosphere filled with euphoria of Gamarvani. It was our second culture festival after Matswapati on 2014. We had a meeting in Bali Field, at this day, and started decorating the field with glow-in-the-dark-lampion, a tunnel for visitors, a pair of gate, stand for food festival and many more. On 8pm. The field was ready for tomorrow!

IT'S ME!

Hello Bloggies!

                To completed my English homework, I will write my autobiography on this space. So here it is!

My school is on first place!

                My full name is Puteri Cikal Anasta, but I usually called Puteri by people. I was born in Bandung on 14^th of January 2000, and I am 15 years old now. I lived at Margahayu Kencana E4 number 11, Kopo Street. I lived with my parents, and my two little brothers.

                When I was 5, I studied at Marhamah Hasanah’s Kindergarten. Then, I continued at Babakan Ciparay 3 Elementary School for 6 years. After that, I studied at 11 Junior High School for 3 years. Now, I am studying at 3 Senior High School Bandung. I am so proud to be one of students in this school, because 3 Senior High School Bandung is the best school in Indonesia!

My hobby is reading. I will read very books that talk about something attract me. Especially novels! Yeay, I really really really love to read a novel. I’m not interested at romantic novels, or other stuffs like that, but I’m crazy for everything about action! My favorite novels are Divergent (series), The Hunger Games (series) and of course, Harry Potter too! I love journalism and hopefully I can be a good author like J. K. Rowling or Veronica Roth. I already read novels since I am 5 years old. The first novel that I read is “The Famous Five” by Enid Blyton. It’s such a good novel! I spend many times for reading, and maybe that is the reason why most of my friends think that I am a novel’s maniac. But, honestly I don’t have any objection about that. I mean, I am absolutely a novel’s maniac! 

I love music too. I learned to play piano when I am 6 years old, and I still practice piano once a week. I always playing “Kiss The Rain” by Yiruma because it’s my favorite song. Sometimes, i played piano and sing too. Most of my friends told me that I have nice voice, haha I'm so thankful, but I'm personally think my voice isn't as nice as other people, eventhough I always sing everytime and everywhere haha pardon me guys *peace*

One thing that you guys must know about me! I'm scolioser! Scolioser is apellation for people who have scoliosis, or an 'difference' at the spine. You can read my experience on my official blog diaryscolioser.blogspot.com, thanks for read, by the way, hihi. Umm... Eventhough I can be included as 'abnormal person', but I'm trying to be as normal as other people. I won't give up with this abnormality, I'm gonna fight for this. So, wish me luck, Bloggies! :)

Last, I'm gonna tell you something that actually I hate to admit. But... It's time to be honest! I'm not the good person type. Eventhough I used veil, and i tried not to break my own desicion, but i think my attitude is still far from good. I can be very annoying, sometimes. I'm selfish, arrogant, grumpy, and maybe many bad characters that people see it from me. I realized it, really. And every time, if my bad attitude 'relapse', I really really really regret it, I swear. I didn't mean to do those bad things. It's just my character. Guys... I'm so sorry if sometimes I mess up but I'm trying so hard to relieve my bad characters.

Yeah, i think it's enough to describe me, isn't it? Pardon me if I did any mistakes. Nice to meet you, guys!xoxo.
