Celebrating Raya Day

       


Every year I was celebrating Raya day with my family and my friends. They are many experience that I been through during the Raya day. So here I want to share my celebrating Raya day experience in this year. They are lot of changes during the Raya day if I compare when I still kids.
        
        Firstly, I'm gonna  talk about my experience with my family. On the first day of Raya, mostly we spent our time together. There are many activities that I did together with my family during first day of Raya such as solat Raya, visiting my grandparent's grave, seek forgiveness from other and many more. They are many Muslims perform solat Raya with their family in the morning of the first day of Raya. After we perform our solat Raya, we gathered together with others and enjoyed eating Rendang, Satay, Lemang, Ketupat and many more. After that, we were visiting our grandparent's grave to give sympathy to make them peaceful. In the afternoon, every year my house were open for everyone to go for a visiting during Raya Day. My family will serve some food such as Lemang, Ketupat, Satay, "Nasi Impit", and many more to our guests, neighbors, relatives, and friends.

        Other wise, I also have experience with my friends during Raya day. There were lot of activities that we did during Hari Raya. We visited friends in a large groups using 3 cars this year. We have always liked to go to open houses as it offers an array of food and we would judge which house has the best satay. Besides friends houses we also visited our past teaches and thank them as they are the people who made who we are now. I guess that all I can say about this year Raya activities.

DC Shoes



DC Shoes is American company that specializes in footwear for action sports, including skateboarding, snowboarding, drifting and stunting. The company also manufactures apparel, bags, accessories, and posters.

History
The company was founded in 1993 by Ken Block and Damon Way, and is based in Huntington Beach, California, United States. DC originally stood for ''Droors Clothing'', but since the sale of Droors Clothing (which is now defunct), DC no longer has ties to Droors and is simply DC Shoes. On March 8, 2004, DC Shoes was acquired by Quiksilver in an US$87 Million transaction. In 2010, DC Shoes moved from Vista, California, to Quiksilver's headquarters in Huntington Beach.

A video entitled Skateboarding Is Forever was released online in 2010 and featured parts from the amateur DC skateboard team at the time: Marquise Henry, Matt Miller, Wes Kremer, Evan Smith, and Greg Myers. Apart from Myers, all of the skateboarders from the video remain sponsored by the company n 2013, and Smith and Kremer have since attained the status of sponsored DC professionals (Myers was arrested following a carjacking incident in October 2012)

In 2011 the brand underwent a rejuvenation process that included the design of a new flag logo. As part of this process, new skateboard team announcements were progressively made and a series of advertisement, under the direction of new team member Steve Berra, were released online. The other new team announcements were Mikey Taylor, Mike Mo Capaldi, Nyjah Huston, Chris Cole, and Davis Torgerson. Felipe Gustavo was introduced at a later stage.

A further progression of the brand relaunch was the ''Rediscover'' campaign that commenced in December 2011, following the addition of Capaldi and Huston to the skateboard team. The campaign is entitled ''Rediscover DC'' and the launch signified the first time that the entire DC team had been brought together in nearly a decade.
The first individual installment of the campaign was entitled ''Rediscover Technology'' and featured Chris Cole's signature shoe. The subsequent installments are as follows:

  • Rediscover the Road: Mike Mo (March 2012)
  • Rediscover Oz: Team (March 2012)
  • Rediscover Dreams: Danny way (April 2012)
  • Rediscover Opportunity: Matt Miller (May 2012)
  • Rediscover Heritage: Josh Kalis (June 2012)
  • Rediscover Mikey Taylor: Mikey Taylor (July 2012)
  • Rediscover Home: Felipe Gustavo (September 2012)
  • Rediscover Youth: DC Youth Division (October 2012) 

In the first half of 2013, the promotion of new team members continued as both Capaldi (''Mike Mo S'') and Kremer (''Wes Kremer Pro'') released signature shoe models. Following the brand relaunch, Taylor was the first new team member to release a signature model, as well as a corresponding full movie part, both of which were launched in July 2012.
