“The Rise of Triangle Ron”

The sun’s rays shone through the stained window glass. His muscles stretched like elasticated rubber as the sound of birds chirping woke him from a deep sleep. The smell of coffee filtered through every room of the mansion it seemed and it drew him to the kitchen. The smell of toasted bread wafted through his senses. Chewing on his strawberry jam covered piece of toast and slurping his heaven in a cup cappuccino, Ron Michaels was ready to face the day. As he arrived in front of his office lobby, he pushed through the big door with a huge writing that says “Michaels’ Corporation”. His workers greeted him as he walked through the gigantic and modern building. Riding his building’s super fast lift that traveled to his 28^th floor where he worked and masterminded the company. He sat on his beloved chair and ready to start his day in his company.

            The first sound of a knocking door alerted him. As the door opened, the glamour of a luxurious woman suit shone through the door and he knew that it was Jennifer, his business partner. As a businessman, Ron was famous for his kindness in giving loan and advice for other businessmen and women. However, his attitude of smug-ness gave him a dark side flavor to his business attitude. As Jennifer explains what she needs he interrupted her and lent her some money. As soon as Jennifer touched the door, Ron stood up and gave a piece of paper to her with his phone number, time, date, and an exclusive restaurant address on it. With a cheerful smile, she took the paper and left.

            The sound of the wonderful string quartet filled the restaurant hall. The smell of expensive western food grabbed the attention of all of the people in the restaurant hall. While Jennifer walked through the corridor of the restaurant hall Ron greeted her as the smell of her wonderful perfume engaged through the air. She sat down facing Ron and ready to have a dinner with him. Filling up their stomachs with some steak and pancakes brought up the sense of romance to the dinner. As they both nearly finished their food, Ron stood up and kneeled down in front of Jennifer. Ron knew she had accepted as he wrapped his arms around Jennifer and he could tell she felt secure in his warm embrace.

            As the months passed by, time seemed to disappear. The wonderful couple had wonderful time together. Passing through the parts of their love journey, gave them more colors and gradients to their life. As part of the company-developing program, Ron decided to hire a new secretary called Amanda. Ron is a great person in business world but his attitude is very arguable. Besides his smug-ness attitude, his heart is easily to be attracted by a woman just like a North and South Pole magnets. Whatever the poles are, he always become the opposite pole and attracted to it. Just days after working with his new secretary, his mind is filled up with feelings of love with her. As he knew that every girl in this world would accept his love proposal, with a brave heart, he told Amanda that he fell in love to her and as Ron knew she had accepted, he wrapped his arms around Amanda and he could tell she felt protected in his heartfelt embrace.

           

            Ron always thought that breaking someone’s heart was the worst thing that he could do to a woman. After some considerations with confusedness and anxiousness, he decided to have a relationship with 2 women, which is also known as the love triangle. To avoid suspiciousness that might be felt by the 2 women, he decided to divide his time for both of them. Half of the times for Jennifer while the other half for Amanda. As he mostly spent his time to keep both of his women, he often left his company and not attended investor meetings. As time seems to fly, slowly the Michaels’ Corporation started to have problems with profit and financial stability and created a big splash mark on their performance book. Slowly but steadily, the company started to went down and had a great lost. Ron kept on focusing to his girlfriends and somehow left his company for a long time. Everyday, he gave his attention more to his relationships with his girlfriends rather than the company. The company rocket-ly fell down into an enormous lost and bankrupted. Ron decided to fire all of his employees to cover that gigantic lost and closed the company.

            Day by day, he enjoyed his life being a man that had a relationship with two women. As he walked into the cinema hall holding Amanda’s hands tightly, he realized that Jennifer was there too walking with her friend. Trying to calm himself down and not causing any misunderstanding, he decided to cancel the movie and went out from the cinema hall. But suddenly, when Ron stepped on the edge of the door, Jennifer saw him with Amanda and shouts. Jennifer and Amanda realized that Ron had cheated on both of them and at that right second, both of them broke up with Ron and left him alone. With a torn heart and a pool of tears, Ron left the cinema. Almost everyday after the incident, he kept on being silent and reflects back on what just happened.

            Opening a new page of his life, he decided to move on and considered the past as a lessoned to be learned. He started to play on some stock and market and got some profit from it. He then used his profit to start a new business and rose up from his pool of sorrow. From months to years, he tried to create new chapter of his life and changed the way people think about Ron Michael. After all of his shame and hard work, he was now considered as one of the richest and most successful businessman in the world and had been traveling throughout the world to share his inspirational story.

Descriptive Reflection Year 7 - School Assignment

A Family Celebration I’ll Never Forget

            Every religion in this world has their own special celebration. For Muslims they have “Ramadhan”, fro Hindu’s they have “Nyepi”, for Buddhist’s they have “Waisak”, while for Christians and Catholics, they have the most well known celebration in the world, which is “Christmas”. As my whole families are full of Christians and Catholics we all have the same special celebration of the year, which is Christmas. For some people, Christmas might just be another religious holiday where all offices and schools are on vacation but for my family, Christmas is not only about holidays and vacation but it’s all about Jesus and family.

            Walking into the hall, praising and singing to God, hearing some words of God by a Pastor, and reflecting back from the beginning of the year until that day. That’s what my family and I always do in Church during the Christmas holiday season. As Christmas is part of my family’s culture and tradition, currently the knowledge that Christmas is not only about vacation, going to church, holidays, or meeting extended family but it’s also about the birth of Jesus. Every year, my family and I always commemorate the day when Jesus was born. Besides going to church, my family also often goes to religious sites such as Mary’s Cave “Goa Maria” which is located in Central Java specifically in an area called “Ambarawa”. Every time I go there, the smell of the ancient cave, candles, and flowers remind me of pasts Christmas. Just like other people who had gone there, my family and I give flowers and light candles for Mary’s statue, which is located in front of the cave. In my opinion, the purpose of giving flowers and lighting candles for the Mary’s statue is to thank her for the blessings that God has gave us during the year and ask for blessings for the upcoming year. For me, that place will always make me feel nostalgic as I can remember my past Christmas celebrations and rituals.

            Besides going to churches and participating in religious events, my extended family, and I always meet at my grandmother’s house to gather up and celebrate Christmas together. Every time I step in to my grandmother’s house, the smell of fried mashed potato and hot chicken soup always strikes my mind and force me to open my mouth and eat them. That’s why almost every Christmas season my extended family always gains a lot of weight due to my grandma’s food. Another thing that I like the most in my grandma’s house is the smell of ancient decorations and the rusty fireplace which reminds me of my childhood where I used to play with eh decorations and hide beside the fireplace. After having a good meal of my unique grandma’s food, my whole family and I, never forget to play ancient games. The adults in my family usually play cards while my cousins and I usually play a traditional board game called “Karambol”. As most of the game, are ancient and old, sometimes the game board or machine might not work and make weird sounds. That’s why, most of the time when my family played these ancient games, we laugh heartily and continuously.

             In my family, there are no celebrations without decorations. Every year, my extended family and I never miss a Christmas season to decorate our houses. The flashing colorful small light bulbs light up my house while the green and thick mistletoe gives my front door a whole new appearance. Besides these Things, my family also never forgets to put up the bright red and white Christmas stockings and last but not least, the majestic green Christmas tree. Almost every member of my family decorates their house with Christmas decoration including my grandparents. Even though they are a bit old and slow at decorating the different parts of each of their houses, they have very good taste especially at interior design. To hasten their work, my family always helps them to fill their houses with Christmas decorations. That’s the fun part of decorating houses, while one of the most annoying processes is taking down all of the decorations after the 12 days of Christmas. Taking the decorations down is always an annoying period of time as we need to pack all of the things into one group and tidy them up in order. All my family members have to take time doing that including my cousins and I as we always wanted to spend the rest of the time playing games. Even though it’s annoying, it’s our responsibility to clean up the house after the celebration. So, as a “good” person, I help my family to clean up the decorations.

            In conclusion, Christmas is a family celebration that I’ll never forget because I need to celebrate it every year. For me, besides having fun with the rest of the family, the main point of Christmas is to celebrate the day when Jesus was born and to reflect back on the part years. Not only in me, but for the rest of my family too. Christmas is something that my family looks forward to all year long, which needs to be celebrated and commemorated. I believe that everybody has their own unforgettable family celebration and it would be such a great thing to share it with other people.
