Tomb Raider II, the Chronicles is a great game from the first time it was being released in 1997. Eidos Interactive released the first series of Tomb Raider game one year before when 2D games such as Super Mario and Bomber Man own the market. With enchanting graphic and complex cases, the first series of Tomb Raider gain its popularity in its fans’ hearth.

Still with same complexity as the first game, the second series was released with more enchanting graphic which closely appear true-natural-like. The awkward movement that appeared in the first generation has been smoothened and the main character, Ms. Lara Croft, was equipped with new capabilities that make the player easier to command her. In this her second adventure, Lara jumped in the riot of searching a historical weapon of China, The Dagger of Xian.

This game came with 18 levels in some famous landscapes in different landmarks on earth. The adventure was begun in The Great Wall where Lara found the clue that invited her to examine the beauty of canals in Venice. We can travel to the deep where the wreck of Maria Doria, a ship, was found or to the highest highland of Tibetan. There are also some amazing unexpected surprises we can find in this game as dinosaurs and dragon.

The curious to find out where the adventure will continue always can be a motivation to play this game without lose any passion as the first time we tried it. Over all, for you who have tried the first series of the game or who haven’t tried it yet, this game will give you enormous excitement and content.

Happy gaming.......

ILLEGAL LOGGING IN INDONESIA SHOULD BE BANNED
Illegal logging is one of the major problems in Indonesia. The rate of illegal logging increases every year.
Illegal logging can cause natural disaster, such as flood and landslide. It can also cause environmental problem, for example global warming.
Illegal logging makes our country get loss. Forest and its contents are the biggest assets that Indonesian government has. If the contents of the forest are destroyed and exploited by illegal logging, the government and its people cannot utilize and manage the forest effectively to increase the economy.
For those reasons, I believe that the government of Republic of Indonesia should make a big, forceful and strong effort to ban illegal logging in Indonesia.

Student’s Bad Habit in Collage (Hortatory)


College is the first time a lot of students are away from their parents. Because of all of this freedom you need to learn how to make your own decisions and stand up for what you believe is right. A lot of bad habits that people pick up in college are matters of choice and peer pressure. You don't have to cave in under the idea that doing something stupid is "normal."

Some students usually drink alcohol. If you think that life can be one big party after high school, think again. The truth is alcohol has consequences, and big ones at that. While some students think that alcohol, along with drugs, cigarettes, coffee and other stimulants "help" them deal with the pressures of life, the truth is they are really hurting, not helping the situation. Alcohol has been traced to car accidents, all manner of criminal activity, sex crimes, and suicides. Our best advice is, "just say no." That slogan can be applied to much more than drugs and will save you a lot of heartache.

Most people do not start drinking coffee until they graduate from high school. Many use coffee to help them stay awake during late nights of studying or early morning classes. Sure, these drinks may help you wake up and get going for the day but, at what cost? Coffee and other caffeinated drinks have consequences even if the hazards of drinking them are not as clear-cut as drugs and alcohol.

To deal with the pressures of studying and socializing, many students take up smoking. Most teenagers start smoking because they think it is cool. Smoking is an addiction. Tobacco contains nicotine, a drug that is addictive. Once you start smoking, it is very hard, but not impossible, to quit.

Finally, I think that students and parent must be more care about these habits. Some activities can us do to reduce effect of bad habit in collage. Among these:
Like most things, the best way to prevent forming a habit is to never start doing it in the first place.

Keep Our Birds, Please…
Today, I can not see and hear birds and their sounds. I love their sounds, I love their beauty also. Usually, in the early morning, there were sounds of birds in my village. They were: pigeon, parrot. Etc. they were so pleasant. But now, I can not find them.
Rare birds should be protected from the hands of the irresponsible. It is the kinds which are considered to the verge of extinction.
I suggest that we should preserve habitats of these birds, so that they will remain alive. Those birds need to be preserved by the government. Why must government? It is because the government is the part who has the power, money, and authorization to make laws and regulations on the subject of rare animals. And by the effort we will be able to see our environment becomes beautiful and full of pleasant by the existence and the sounds of birds.


Happy reading guys..^_"
