Topic #6: Time Travel

     I have interested in the concept of time travelling for a long time. Every movie that has this concept can easily take my money because I like the idea and I want to go back in time too. If I could go back in time, I would go back to the time when I was studying in the primary school. At that time, I did't have to care about my future, jobs or whatever. Just enjoying my everyday life with my friends and playing games, that would be great, isn't it?
     Back to the topic, other people might want to witness wars in the past, but I couldn't find it interesting to watch people killing each other. If I could go back in time and witness any single event in the history, I would go to the period that Apollo11 was being launched. I found myself interested in reading things related to outer space as many things are still a mystery. Hence, Apollo11 launching was a big step for exploring outer space. As anyone have known that Apollo11 was the first spaceship to land on the moon, but many rumors said that the Apollo11 landing on the moon was fake!
     There are a lot of clues and hypothesis that are believed to be true and prove that Apollo11 never land on the moon. I have watched a documentary about this topic and they can gave many convincing reasons and proofs that Apollo11 landing on the moon was just a scene in Hollywood.
     This issue intrigued me for many years now. It would be nice to be able to sit on the moon and watch the Apollo11 landing with my own eyes, or found out that the whole event was just a set up scene in Hollywood.
     However, I don't want to disturb or alter the past as it may create unexpected events that we will never know, so if I found out that it was fake, I would keep it to myself.

Topic #5: Pet Peeves

     Usually, I'm not the kind of a person that gets annoyed easily because I have a calm personality. However, I discovered it after that time when I was in 4th year of my University. I was having a midterm exam, and one of my friend started waving her leg. I never get annoyed by this behavior, but this time my friend waved too hard that her leg almost hit her own table. I tried to focus on my paper, but I failed because she swang her leg pretty high and continuously. I tried looking away, but I still saw it at the edge of my eyes. I wanted to signal her to stop doing what she was doing, but I was afraid I would get caught as cheating; moreover, I could got and F for that subject. I ended up covering one side of my face for the rest of the examination, and that affected my efficiency in doing the exam too. Cursed her!
     I had never thought I would have a pet peeve, but this friend proved it to me. By the way, it's the only pet peeve I have for now, and I wish it will still be the only one in the future.

Topic #4: I Am Beautiful/Handsome, but...

     If I could change one of my physical appearance, I would increase my height. It is always my dream to increase my height because I'm only 163cm tall. Many people; if first met, often think that I'm a child studying in a highschool and I don't like it. In my home country, it is still acceptable to be this tall because many women are shorter than me, but here in the US is quite different. Both men and women here are mostly very tall and that makes me feel a bit sad.
     Increasing the height is not a thing that can change too easily unlike plastic surgery. I have heard that there is a way to stretch the bone but it will cause a lot of pain, so I'm not planning to do it anytime soon. Instead, I just accept the truth and live with it.
