My Adolescence
I had my adolescence when I was thirteen.
It started with acne that showed up on my face. It was very annoying. It lowered my self-esteem and I was embarrassed to come out of my house and play with friends.
Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine. In three weeks, the acnes 
started to vanish although those showed some black spots in my face.
That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still lots of good experience too.

the morning. We saw the beautiful  sunrise together. It was a great 
scenery. Then, we checked in to the  hotel. After prepared our selves, 
we went to Tanah Lot. We met so many  other tourists there. They were 
not only domestic but also foreign  tourists.
  Second day, we enjoyed the day on 
Tanjung Benoa beach. We played so  many water sports such as banana 
boat, jetsky, speedboat etc. We also  went to Penyu island to see many 
unique animals. They were turtles,  snakes, and sea birds. We were very 
happy. In the afternoon, we went to  Kuta Beach to see the amazing 
sunset and enjoyed the beautiful wave.
  The last day, we spent our time in 
Sangeh. We could enjoy the green and  shady forest. There were so many 
monkies. They were so tame but  sometimes they could be naughty. We 
could make a close interaction with  them. After that, we went to 
Sukowati market for shopping. That was my  lovely time. I bought some 
Bali T-Shirt and souvenirs.
 In the evening, we had to check out from the hotel. We went back home bringing so many amazing memories of Bali.

My First Experience to Ride Motorcycle
ditulis oleh Resdwitarini 
One day, when I was ten years old, my father bought an old motorcycle.  
That was " Honda 75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride
  it. I persuaded my father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly, 
my  father refused my request and promised that he would teach me two or
  three years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my father 
surrendered  and promised to teach me.
He began to teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my village. My father was very patient to give me some directions. I was very happy when I realized my ability to ride a motorcycle. " Yes, I can ".
One day later, when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding ability. So, myself tried bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning, but when I was going back to my home and I must passed through a narrow slippery street, I got nervous. I lost my control and I fell to the ditch.
After that, I told my father about the last accident. I imagined my father would be angry and never let me ride again. But the reality is exactly on the contrary, my father was very proud of me. He just gave me some advices and since that accident, I got my father's permission to ride motorcycle.

A Page from A Girl's Diary

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought nothing would happen, but I was wrong.
That  night, I was 
watching television with my family when I heard someone  lit fireworks 
in my front yard. I peeped trough my window glass but  could see 
nothing. It was very dark outside. Then I thought it had to be  my 
cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa again  and
 tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with  
disappointment that no one gave something special on my birthday. I  
shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five 
 minutes later my mobile beeped. It was a text from my friend asking me 
 to come out. Wondering what was going on, I grabbed my jacket and  
hurried to the front door. I was surprised to see her bring a bag full  
of firework and fire drills. Next I was surprised to see my other friend
  come out from the darkness. She brought a beautiful birthday cake on  
her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me who was 
 too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing furiously 
because  my whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors too!
A  plain day, or I 
thought it was before, turned out to be one of the  greatest moment in 
my life. I didn’t even know how to describe what I  felt. Happy was the 
simplest word.
