About me

My name is alex jackson mahendra I used to be called alex, I come from Jombang district, I am a teacher of religion in the district Jombang. I love to fill my free time in front of the computer and itmust often go online to obtain the files or application is needed for computer and finally I was interested to make the web, blogs on the internet.
from now I started to like writing articles. I just write a little bit article on some of my blogs, but in my article that I wrote is very useful for those of you who read because I do not like writing articles that only important commercially. I started writing a few articles on free blogs like blogspot and wordpress. In my opinion free blog or paid it does not matter to develop our creativity or our hobby because, I do not know much about the science of blogging so I think make a free blog for beginners is very appropriate. I know that the top level domain looks more professional, but I thought, why create a blog with TLD but have not mastered the science of blogging? But do not worry for the visitors of this blog even though I created a blog using blogspot free this time I want to maintain the content of this blog, I would present all in English.
Actually, this blog address that are still not seemingly professional domain names. I prepared all info about GadingMangu complete. Because alumni that have been so much and are located throughout the homeland of Indonesia and foreign countries. And I know that from some of the alumni was looking forward about the latest information about the changes and developments in Gadingmangu that are more familiar called "Gading".

In this blog content and layout is my own work as the owner of the blog, but I always ask for advice on a couple of colleagues who can give progress this blog. I realized I was not a true webmaster because I began to understand about blogging in early 2012 around the month of April and at that time I felt very difficult to explore the science of blogging. Indeed, at that time I already have a laptop but have not been able to buy a modem so I just did a internet activities in the cafe, it is definitely a lot of cost, and I also attended training on the website a few months later, then I began to know much about blogging or website, but just as insightful because it was only 2 days of training and the internet connection a lot of interference so I often missed the lesson. Then from the training I started know much about that, then I tried to buy a modem that cost about 200 thousand rupiahs. I began to study and learn more on the subject matter which has been given the training by re-reading the e-book that has been given, but I feel lack so I was looking through the search engines and I began to understand a lot even though I get by way of self-taught or read through web-site that I found through google seach engine.

I'm sure though knowledge I got it on average through search engine I could make this blog contain professional. Whatever you are looking for about Gadingmangu will be available in this blog. I will make this blog look simple but easy to use and I will always try to beautify this blog accordance with the development the future, and did not rule out the name of this blog I will change it to a top level domain. It is my goal in building this blog, but it will take time be required.

If some of you have seen a lot of blogs that already contains information and news about Gadingmangu not to say that this blog is bandwagon. Actually before I made this blog I've made a blog titled Nuansa story which contains the story of exemplary, but when the blog know by my friend, he said why don't you create a blog that contains about Gadingmangu instead. Why he asked me to make a blog about Gadingmangu? the reason is many blogs that discuss about Gadingmangu was not complete that is, their blogs only discuss the parts of Gadingmangu such as a blog only contain about vocational school in Gadingmangu or junior high school and so on. So my friend suggested me to make this blog. This is a hard and difficult job for me but I am sure Insha Allah I can realize this and I ask the help of all parties about what to develop this blog.

a brief history of GadingMangu

"A city in the village" that is people saying who have visited and seen the state of the GadingMangu village. GadingMangu is a village in the district Jombang. The population is so diverse from almost homeland Indonesia can be found in this village. Who thought that gadingmangu now as people know, used to this village was residents deserted village even many homeowners left that village for many reasons, it is said there is a saying "Gadingmangu untouched by humans so much, its scary environment". Indeed, in that moment GadingMangu was not like you've seen now, used to there were many fields and lots of bamboo trees around the GadingMangu village, when it rains this village such as ponds or pools very muddy. even worse many people (villagers) they wanted to sell their land that in GadingMangu village to everyone who wanted to buy with a fairly cheap price and then move to another  region and left the village. But already become destiny this village will be a places that's visited by students who want to learn more on religious knowledge and general knowledge although several years ago GadingMangu was a village that many people feared even the original people of the village.

But Gadingmangu village will be turned into an educational center if built by an intelligent and brave. And at the moment there is no one who can change the state of Gadingmangu, and once again, it was the destiny of a deserted village residents will be a busy village, that visited by people throughout Indonesia and even from around the world. Time passed, and eventually smart and brave kid born he was not a native gadingmangu, he was from Kediri  the neighboring town of Jombang. From childhood he had been seen that figure is a genius child. Proven in time he learned very quickly in master of science even his teacher surprised with his intelligence. when he has mastered the science of his teacher he was not satisfied and moved to another place to seek more knowledge in his country. Even when he felt has mastered all of science in Indonesia and he did not see a place that gives science a more he decided to go to another country in order to deepen and broaden his knowledge.

 while abroad he also very fast in mastering sciences that he learned until he would be recruited by the State, but he felt that Indonesia requires knowledge he had, although at that time the Indonesian people did not understand a lot of how important of knowledge, especially the people from his city. After studying abroad in the country for several years, he decided to return to his beloved homeland Indonesia.
Upon his return to Indonesia, he had a desire to create a place of education in visited by students who want to gain knowledge and establish good moral personality. But the desire was still far from reality. He tried to share knowledge to local people, but not many of them understand the importance of sciences, not only that he did not have a partner to realize the desire of the day, he could never get it in a short time, and the spirit of people to gain knowledge was still very alarming. But he did not give up he had a conviction "if the ideal is taken seriously and the courage it will succeed", and he said "a great aspiration will not be successful if held by a timid person or a pessimist". With this conviction he was sure to find the path of success.

Long story short after he teached about science that he has learned so far and in teaching his knowledge in an uncertain (moved around) because not having his own place. He finally got a male friend who happens to live in the village gadingmangu. His friends know about his good wishes. And his friend suggested that he settle down and realize his wishes in Gadingmangu. his friends were ready to help provide places and funding if he wanted to settle down and realized his wishes in Gadingmangu. He felt that his dream will come true because of the success already seen.

Now he's moved to a new village and he had never previously live in the village (Gadingmangu) and he began to struggle in the village. Not as easy as it was to build gadingmangu to be like now, but need a lot of sacrifice and struggle. Because of his persistence in the struggle, and because he had mastery of knowledge more and more students who come to Gadingmangu vilage to study.
  He has a desire to establish boarding school in Gadingmangu so gadingmanu become an educational center as he wanted. Finally he and his colleagues managed to accommodate students who wish to boarding school. although only a few students and still junior high and the school is still borrow another school places, which is owned by SD IMPRES (a name of elementary school). The students attend school in the afternoon because the morning in use for primary schools. After a few months he and colleagues eventually succeeded in establishing the school, not just a high school junior, but also even the kindergarten and two cottages that are now more commonly known as Gama1 and Gama2. Originally gadingmangu cottage is gama1, because his male and female students more and more, eventually stood second cottage and is now more commonly known as Gama 2.
At that time he was already getting old but he's still in the spirit of fostering his students. And at that Gadingmangu is widely known everywhere, it's much different when compared with the first gadingmangu situation, now incoming students each year is increasing. And not long after in old age he left the village Gadingmangu forever. He died when Gadingmangu village familiar as "University town" though is actually a village, "city in the village" was greeting people who have visited village Gadingmangu.
