The Description of Penguin

 

Penguins are sea-birds in the family Spheniscidae. They use their wings to 'fly' underwater, but they can’t fly in the air. They are sea birds which eat fish and other sea food. Penguins live only in the Southern Hemisphere of the world: Antarctica, New Zealand, Southern Australia, South Africa, and South America. The furthest north they get is the Galapagos Islands, where the cold Humboldt Current flows past.

All penguins have a white belly and a dark (mostly black) back. Penguins can't fly, but they can swim very well. Their wings have become stiff and small swimming flippers. They have good hearing and can see underwater. The white and black colors are for camouflage (to help them hide) when they swim. So, when a predator looking from underwater sees the white belly and wings of the penguin, they can't see it well with the light coming from above. Seen from above, the penguin's black back blends in with the dark water. Penguins have webbed feet used for paddling in the water. They can't walk well, so they waddle. 

The biggest penguins may stand nearly 4 feet tall (110 cm) and can weigh almost 100 pounds (40 kg). The smallest kinds are only about one foot (32 cm) tall. Penguins have a thick layer of blubber that helps them keep warm, and their feathers are very tightly packed to make another cover. They also have a layer of woolly down under the feathers that are coated with a type of oil that makes them waterproof.

       Emperor Penguin

          The biggest penguin in this world

    Little Blue Penguin

    The smallest penguin in this world

Most penguins lay two eggs per year but emperor penguins lay only one. After the penguins mate, the mother lays her egg or eggs and soon goes in the ocean to eat. The father and mother take turns keeping the eggs warm, and of the chicks after they hatch. The parent on baby duty has nothing to eat. The time one parent is alone with the eggs or chicks and going hungry may be weeks or months depending on what kind of penguin they are.

Penguins eat krill, fish, squid, and other small animals from the ocean, which they catch. They are at home in the ocean. They come up on the land or ice to lay their eggs and raise the chicks. They don't eat there because they live in places where the land has no food for them. In most species the birds all nest together in a huge group, called a rookery. They usually make nests on the ground with rocks or mud. Penguins can not taste fish. This was discovered when a research team noticed they were missing some key genes for taste. A closer look at the DNA of penguins showed that all species lack functioning genes for the receptors of sweet, umami, and bitter tastes. It doesn't matter to them, because they swallow the fish whole, without chewing.

LM Monday : 19 September 2016

Hi everyone, I'm going to tell you about my activities at 19 September 2016. I supposed to join the LM on this day. But, this LM started longer than normally. This usually starts at 14.30 but that day, this started at 15.00. I couldn't join the LM because I had a course. I would be late to the course if I join the LM. So, before I went to the course, I came to the room and told the teacher that I couldn't join the LM for that day.

After that, I walked to the intersection to wait the 'angkot'. I've waited so long but the 'angkot' never came. It was rain, maybe that was the reason that the 'angkot' never came. I choose to walk to the course because of the 'angkot'. I walked alone and the rain was getting heavy. Fortunately I brought my umbrella that day. I wanted to call my parents but I was out of  phone credit so I had no choice instead of walk. When I arrived at the course, the under side of my skirt was totally wet. The left side of my body also got wet. That was really cold. Because of that incident, I got an influenza.

That's all from me. Sorry if there are a lot of mistakes, thank you.

 

Indonesian Independence Day : TUBE

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I'm gonna tell you about the celebration of Indonesian Independence Day in SMAN 3 Bandung. We celebrated it at 21 September 2016. It was too late but that's okay. We had a lot of fun there.

The games were placed at Lapangan Bali. It started at 10 am. The first game for my class is tug of war. We competed X science 4 (I'm not really sure). I was the participant of this game. We should put our hands to the flour before the game start so that our hands won't get hurt during the game. We pulled and screamed out loud to make our team more enthutiastic. Finally, we won that game yeayyy. After that, we competed X science 8 because they were the winner from the game before. Unfortunately, we lost this time.

The second game is throw the sponge. I'm not really sure about who was our competitor but we won this game. The second round started. We competed X science 6 this time. Again, we lost. For the third game, which was the last game, we played it at bangsal. This game was called dodge ball. We should throw the ball to our competitor and if our competitor is out of person, we're gonna be the winner. We competed X science 4 at this game. For the third time, we won the first selection. After that, we competed X science 8 again for the final game. Unfiortunately, we lost again and became the second winner.

After that game, I went home because I had a course. My friend said that the winner of all the game was us. We became the winner because our posisition was stable. We became the second winner of all games. Congratulations X science 1.

Festival Seni, Sastra, dan Budaya : Megantara

Hi guysss, I'm back! Today, I'm gonna tell you about Megantara. Megantara is an event that organized by SMAN 3 Bandung. This event was held at 10 September 2016. Before Megantara, SMAN 3 Bandung already have another event, which is Matswapati and Gamarvani. I didn't come to Matswapati at 2014 so I didn't know how it was. I came to Gamarvani but I went home before it finished. For Megantara, I stayed until the last. It was the best night ever.

At first, I didn't want to be the committe for this event, but after I saw my friends, I regret it. I wanted to be part of them but it was too late. It's okay, I can join them next year maybe. Because I wasn't a committe, I should join the parade. It started at 8 am. We walked around through Belitung Street, Merdeka Street, Java Street, Sumatera Street, and it finished at Lapangan Bali. The parade was so exciting. We sang during the parade, together with some kindergarten students. We promoted Megantara to everyone that we met. After the parade, I went home because I had a course.

I went back to Lapangan Bali at 3 pm, together with my brother. When we arrived, there was a fashion show of traditional clothes in Indonesia. Ridwan Kamil was there too. He announced the winner of that fashion show. Unfortunately, I couldn't see Ridwan Kamil because my brother told me to wait at the mushola for Maghrib. Even I couldn't see T'sT. I only saw the final part of their show. As always, they were really good.

The Changcuters finally came to the stage, starting the performance of the main gueststars. They were really energic. They made us jumped and screamed out loud during their performance. After The Changcuters, RAN came. They also made an amazing performance. I really love the closing of this event. There were some fireworks that made this event more spectacular. Congratulation for all committes of Megantara. You did it:)

World Tournament x Techno Festival

Hi everyone!!! I'm back. Today I'm gonna tell you about WTF (World Tournament x Techno Festival). This event is organized by OSIS SMAN 3 Bandung. Wanna know more about WTF? Check this out!

 When I heard about this event, i thought that it will be boring. I had no spirit to join this event. As the time passed, everyhing I thought at the first disappeared. This event was so interesting. We should against our seniors. There were a lot of game that tested our solidarity. Beside that, this event could help us to improve our english skill. We should speak english during the event.

First, we gathered at the coridor to receive map and some water balloons. We need that balloons to fight the alien. After that, we went to bazaar because the map said that bazaar was our first planet. The committee asked us to answer the question. They just need three persons to did that and the others were waiting for the instruction to make a line. The team who could make the longest line was the winner. My team won. Yeayyy, I was so happy. We received a piece of puzzle. 

The next game was eating a very spicy noodle. I was the participant of this game. Unfortunately, we lost so we didn't receive any puzzle. But, eventhough we lost at the game, we could fight the alien. As the reward, the committe gave us a piece of puzzle again. After that, we were searching again for the next planet. In the next planet, we need to played a game like tekken. I'm not really sure about the name of that game. Again, our team won. We already have three pieces of puzzles.

We'd done all the games at school. After that, we were moving to music park. We played second rank. For real, we lost at this game but, because the name of this game is second rank, we won. After received the puzzle, we were moving to LapBal. We met alien again. We were running to catch the alien and BAM! we did it:)

We played catching ribbon at LapBal. This game was fun at the first, but at the end, there was an accident between our team and the seniors. Since that time, this event was not interesting anymore. Eventhough the atmosphere was different with the first game, we kept trying to make it normal.

After from LapBal, we were moving again to Tongkeng Park, we rested for a while to pray Dzuhur and eat our meal. After that, we played again. The committe divided our team into two, boys vs girls. We made a robot from some materials. I forgot which team who won. That was my last game. I should go because my parents already picked me up. My friends said that the winner was 3'2018. I didn't really care about the winner. All I thought was the happiness that I got from that event.

Finally I've finished this. Thank's for reading. See you againnnnnn.
