2011-08-28T22:06:00.000-07:00

Enjoying the green place in the city (my fifth, fourth, and third daughters)

Green... green... green..
Recently, green and clean environment become a trend to create and develop healthy living. Back to nature has been being a slogan in any place, including the household. I think, campaigning the Back to Nature and Green and Clean Life should be begun from our household, because it will be a learning materials for kids since the early time. By the habituation for kids since early time to practice healthy life, and to respect and serve our environment, it will give them a knowledge about how they should do their life and environment in the future.

Planting on the roof, learning to serve environment well, anywhere, anyplace, we can make our environment green (my first son and my fourth daughter)

Enjoying the green place in the city (my fifth and fourth daughters)

Several days before holiday for Eid Mubarak, I went out with all my five kids and having activities outdoors. This can encourage them with the information about the environment and what they can do for serving the healthy environment. I think this will be the healthy activity for kids either physically or psychologically. They can also learn more about anything outside, in which perhaps they can not get it from the school.....

Gaining Weight Lose Fast Inadvertently

2011-08-26T02:09:00.000-07:00

Just about two years, I got over weight until more than 20 kilograms (from 55 kg to 74 kg). This caused some of my clothes are not fitted anymore, so I could not wear them again. This also made me feel uncomfortable due to the changes of my body. There were fats anywhere that made me could not move freely and comfort. Then, when I checked my blood pressure, it was 140/100. Of course I got surprise and worried about this. Then I went to a doctor, and he said that this was not a problem. But I did not believe merely. I surfed some information about blood pressure and what kind of diet that should be programmed. In this case, I avoided consuming drug to increase my blood pressure. I just consumed some vegetables and fruits that can support my diet, such as garlic, carrots, banana, papaya, dates palm, potato, apple, etc. I stopped consuming any kind of fried food. I also got exercise by myself at home just by walking and whatever I can do at approximately 15-30 minutes (commonly I did it in the morning and in the night before sleeping).
Then about a month later, I checked my blood pressure again, because I got problems with my head. I got dizziness. I thought my blood pressure got dropped. But, when I checked again, in fact, my blood pressure got increase to 150/70 and my weight decrease to 64 kg. This made me shocked and also amused at once. But I still thanks to God because my diastolic pressure got decreased from 100 to 70 (normal).
Due to this, I continued my diet until now, and now I get enjoy my diet, because I have been accustomed with my diet. Even though, sometimes I also desire to eat some of my favorite food such as shrimp, squid, small crab, and scallop shell that I stopped consumed them since that (sometimes I miss them so much :)). But, I should control myself to live healthier. Further, I also can gain weight lose well.

Carrots Juices as Healthy Drink for Family

2011-08-24T02:17:00.000-07:00

My youngest daughter likes carrots very much, either carrots juices or carrots soup. Of course I like this, because carrot is one vegetable that contains high beta carotene, in which will give her more healthy benefits of carrots by consume it. Even, she will commonly does not pay attention to other dishes if she has had carrots soup in her dishes. When I make a carrots juices, she also when waiting for and often help me to prepare what I need to make a carrots juices. And… when carrots have been juices, then my fourth and my third will come to me and they will drink carrots juices together. It is different to my first son and my second who are reluctant to drink carrots juices, even I have told them about why they should drink this juices related to their aye healthy. My first son’s eyes have ever got a little myopic, so he should wear glasses and then normal again after consuming carrots juices routine every morning. So, now he does not need to wear glasses anymore. While my second doughter, recently, often says to me that she got upset with her eyesight. Therefore, I always provide carrots at home and make juices for them, and of course for me too. Since carrot juice has good amounts of natural sugar, so I do not need to add sugar on it.

As I ever read that:

...there are some useful micro elements and nutrients which are contained in carrots is really very impressive. Along with the mentioned beta-carotene, it includes also Vitamins C, B, E, D and K, proteins, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, aluminum, sodium, manganese, iron, copper and a lot of other minerals. Carrots contain great amounts of nicotine acid, which is important for metabolism of fats and lipids. The vegetable is a great source of natural magnesium, which assists in decreasing bad cholesterol levels in the body, helps to relieve spasms/cramp, lowering cholesterol level, and strengthen our blood vessels.
Carrot juice has very good anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous and anti-aging properties. Carotene is a known anti-oxidant, which can prevent degenerative processes in the cells and has great anti-aging effects. The compounds containing in carrot juice also have antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties. That is why it can be effective to treat wounds and insect bites with some carrot juice, which in such case will also bring some slight relief for pain and help to avoid swelling. Also, drinking raw carrot juice can be helpful for lowering the symptoms of stresses and normalizing the function of your digestive system.

2011-08-11T19:27:00.000-07:00

Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong
You’re enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I’m the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love’s a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

NUMBERS WHICH REFLECT OUR HEALTH

2010-09-23T04:55:00.000-07:00

Healthy Number of Blood Pressure is Less than 120/80 mmHg.

“The lower yours is, the better,”

Blood pressure refers to the force of blood against the walls of arteries when heart beats (systolic pressure, the top number) and during rests between beats (diastolic pressure, the bottom) and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). High blood pressure, or hypertension, is 140/90 mmHg or higher. If the top number is between 120 and 139 and the lower is between 80 and 89, it's mean prehypertension, which also carries risks.

Healthy Number of Blood Sugar is Less than 99 mg/dL.

A fasting blood-sugar test measures glucose (sugar) in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) of blood after you haven’t eaten for at least eight hours. A level of 126 mg/dL or higher indicates diabetes, a condition in which your body doesn’t produce enough insulin (which converts blood sugar into energy) or use insulin properly.

Healthy Number of Cholesterol is Less than 200 mg/dL.

The cholesterol is measured by milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood. There are two types of cholesterol, LDL and HDL. The health number of low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol is under 100 mg/dL, and under 70 mg/dL if one has diabetes or heart disease. The higher the LDL cholesterol levels, the greater the risk of heart disease, because LDL is the bad cholesterol. Elevated LDL levels cause the formation of plaque in the artery walls, which leads to atherosclerosis and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Whereas, the health number of high-density lipoprotein or HDL Cholesterol is 50 mg/dL or higher. HDL is the “good” cholesterol, so the higher the number, the better the health. HDL cholesterol helps remove harmful LDL cholesterol from arteries. An HDL level lower than 50 mg/dL is a heart-disease risk factor for women, while a level of 60 mg/dL or higher helps protect people from heart disease.

Healthy Number of Triglycerides is Less than 150 mg/dL.

The triglyceride level is measured by milligrams of triglycerides per deciliter of blood, or mg /dL. It is borderline high if it is between 150 and 199 mg /dL and high if it’s 200 mg /dL or higher. Triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood, and elevated levels increase your risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Healthy Number of Thyroid is under 4.0 mIU/L.

Produced by the pituitary gland, the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) directs the thyroid gland in your neck to secrete the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Besides helping regulate the metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate, these hormones affect skin, hair, muscle strength, mood, and mental functioning. If the TSH level is high, above 4.5 mIU/L (or milli–international units of TSH per liter of blood), the thyroid isn’t producing enough hormones to help your body function efficiently.

Other Healthy Beverages Instead of Water

2010-08-27T16:51:00.000-07:00

Healthy drink for health care

After posting about healthy food on the earth, now here are the healthy drink instead of water. Water is vital to our health, so we should consume water in adequate sum. When we consume at least 8 cups of water daily can minimize bloating, prevent headaches, help prevent you from getting sick and smooth the appearance of wrinkles. But, there are other kind of beverages that can be drunk to fulfil our needs of water or liquid for our body to support our health care, they are:

Orange juice

This bevy can guard against heart disease. Antioxidants in orange juice help protect our ticker by fighting the inflammation that can cause blood vessel damage.

Chamomile tea

It can keep us calm. People who consume chamomile extract daily for two months felt significantly less anxious.

Cranberry juice

It may prevent gum disease and urinary tract infections. Natural compounds in the juice may ward off gum disease by preventing bacteria from adhering to the teeth below the gum line. Cranberry juice also delivers 39 percent of the daily value for vitamin C per 8 ounces, raises levels of good cholesterol and keeps your urinary tract tip-top.

Chocolate milk

This delicious bevy keeps our abs flat. A glass of skim chocolate milk delivers a great combo of carbs and protein, helping us recover after a workout.

Green tea

This bevy has been popular for healthy beverages that may keep our weight steady. Polyphenols in the drink may rev our metabolism and make it easier for our body to fry fat. Beside that, the tea's plentiful stash of antioxidants slashes your risk for cancer and heart disease.

Tomato juice

This is one of my kids favourite. This tomato juice may lower our cancer risk. The scarlet sip is loaded with vitamins and lycopene, which protect us against cancer. Beside that, the vitamin c in it will help some benefit for our skin and body health care.

Black tea

This also has been popular since the old time to be a healthy drink. It may help fend off skin cancer. The classic brew is loaded with flavonoids, antioxidants that carry anticancer perks. Hot or iced, black tea is a delicious addition to our skin care regimen—and a lovely way to wake up.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTHY FOOD ON THE EARTH?

2010-08-23T00:08:00.000-07:00

Anybody would like to live healthy, therefore they always pay attention to their health care, include their food. Here are the healthy food on the earth according to Live Health Club.

Berries

All berries are low in sugar and high in fiber. Blueberries have been shown to increase memory in lab studies, and raspberries and strawberries are loaded with ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant that seems to have some anti-cancer properties, according to the American Cancer Society.

Beans

Beans are extremely high in fiber, which helps to control weight, prevent or manage diabetes and blood sugar, and may help prevent colon cancer and protect against heart disease. The National Institute of Medicine recommends 25-38 grams of fiber a day. The average American gets only 4-11 grams. One cup of beans provides 11-17 grams.

Nuts

Some of the largest and most important long-term studies of diet and health have shown that eating nuts several times a week is consistent with a risk of heart attack and heart disease that is 30%-50% lower than the general population. Just one ounce of nuts-almonds, macadamia, Brazil , walnuts, pecans-eaten three to five times a week seems to be the magic number.

Wild Salmon

Fish is the ultimate anti-aging food. Cold-water fatty fish like wild salmon, sardines, mackerel and herring contain omega-3 fats that protect the brain and the heart, improve mood, and lower blood pressure and triglycerides.

Raw Milk

Raw, organic milk nearly always comes from grass-fed cows and contains high levels of cancer-fighting CLA (conjugated linolenic acid) as well as a rich assortment of vitamins, minerals and beneficial bacteria (like Lactobacillus acidophilus)

Grass-Fed

Meat Meat from grass-fed cows has a much different fat profile than ordinary supermarket meat: high in omega-3s, lower in potentially harmful omega-6s and loaded with CLA, a kind of fat known for its anti-cancer activity. A superb source of protein and vitamin B12, it's also missing the antibiotics, steroids and hormones found in the meat that comes from feedlot farms.

Eggs

Considered by many to be nature's most perfect food, the egg is high in protein and relatively low in calories. The yolk contains choline, one of the most important nutrients for the brain, as well as lutein and xeazanthin, two critical nutrients for eye health. Brassica Vegetables Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and kale all contain plant compounds called indoles that help reduce the risk of cancer. In addition to a stunning range of vitamins and minerals, they also contain sulforaphane, an important plant chemical that helps the body detoxify health-damaging chemicals.

Apples

Not only do they keep the doctor away, they also appear to do the same for lung cancer, diabetes and asthma. An apple contains five grams of fiber and a rich blend of nutrients including the bone-building vitamin K and the anti-inflammatory nutrient quercetin. And there's no better way to control your appetite than an apple eaten about half an hour before a big meal.

Onions and Garlic

In an impressive number of published studies, the consumption of onions and garlic has demonstrated protective effects against stomach, prostate and esophageal cancer. Along with broccoli, tea and apples, onions and garlic are among a select group of foods found to reduce mortality from heart disease by 20%.

Pomegranate Juice

Called "a natural Viagra" by researchers at Tel Aviv University , pomegranate juice is loaded with antioxidants. Studies show it can reduce blood pressure and plaque in the arteries. New research indicates it also slows the progression of tumors.. Four to eight ounces a day is highly recommended.

Green Tea

Though all teas are great for you, green tea has a unique profile of plant chemicals that have anti-cancer activity. It's now fairly established that green tea may help prevent the following types of cancers in humans: bladder, colon, esophagus, pancreas, rectum and stomach. If that's not enough, it also appears to help with weight control.

HAPPY AND HEALTH FASTING IN RAMADHAN

2010-08-04T22:51:00.000-07:00

Recently, all my five cute kids always ask me about the welcoming the holy month of Ramadhan, when and how we will welcome fasting months for this year. As a children they have an expectation that in this Ramadhan they will get all kind of nice food and beverages that were commonly prepared and provided for breaking fast. Beside that, they also have an expectation for the new dresses for Eidil fitri, on 1 Syawal. But for us, as an adult, we should hav ethe priority and goal, that the objectives of fasting in Ramadhan is not just for that. But fasting in Ramadhan in the gift from Allah.

In this posting I just would like to write about how we can have happy and health fasting during this Ramadhan, especially how we control our food and beverages in order that we can enjoy this fasting well. However, if one is over-weight, Ramadan is an ideal time to normalize one's weight.

In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume slow digesting foods including fiber containing-foods rather than fast-digesting foods; slow digesting foods including fiber containing-foods rather than fast-digesting foods. Slow digesting foods last up to 8 hours, while fast-digesting foods last for only 3 to 4 hours.
Slow-digesting foods are foods that contain grains and seeds like barely, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils, whole meal flour, unpolished rice, etc. (called complex carbohydrates).
Fast-burning foods are foods that contain sugar, white flour, etc. (called refined carbohydrates).
Fiber-containing foods are bran-containing foods, whole wheat, grains and seeds, vegetables like green beans, peas, sem (papry), marrow, mealies, spinach, and other herbs like methie, the leaves of beetroot (iron-rich), fruit with skin, dried fruit especially dried apricots, figs and prunes, almonds, etc.
The foods eaten should be well balanced, containing foods from each food group, i.e., fruits, vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products. Fried foods are unhealthy and should be limited. They cause indigestion, heartburn, and weight problems.

When fasting, people should avoid several kind of food and beverages such as fried and fatty foods, foods containing too much sugar, over-eating especially at sehri, too much tea at sehri (tea makes you pass more urine taking with it valuable mineral salts that your body would need during the day), smoking cigarettes: If you cannot give up smoking, cut down gradually starting a few weeks before Ramadan. Smoking is unhealthy and one should stop completely.

So what kind of food and beverages that can be consumed during fasting in Ramadhan? We should eat complex carbohydrates at sehri so that the food lasts longer making you less hungry. Haleem is an excellent source of sugar, fiber, carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium. Almonds are rich in protein and fiber with less fat. Bananas are a good source of potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates.

Then, for beverages, we should drink as much water or fruit juices as possible between iftar and bedtime so that your body may adjust fluid levels in time.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COFFEE

2010-08-01T06:20:00.000-07:00

Recently, my hubby visited the Jampit Coffee Plantation in East Java indonesia, where the Java Coffee Luwak or Civet Java coffee is produced. Java coffee is a coffee produced on the island of Java. In the United States, the term "Java" by itself is slang for coffee generally. The Indonesian phrase Kopi Jawa refers not only to the origin of the coffee, but is used to distinguish the strong, black, very sweet coffee, with powdered grains in the drink, from other forms of the drink. This civet java coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world, because the aroma and the taste is uncommon as the other coffee. Beside that the protein contents also is not as high as the common coffee due to the fermentation process in the diggest of civet.

Actually, coffee contains caffeine, which acts as a stimulant. For this reason, it is often consumed in the morning and when feeling tired. Students preparing for examinations with late-night cram sessions frequently use coffee to stay awake. Many office workers take a coffee break when they have low energy.

Drinking coffee is associated with a number of health benefits, including reduced risk for Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, colon cancer and even suicide. However, on the negative side, coffee can cause a number of problems for susceptible individuals, particularly in large doses. Coffee drinking increases the risk for a number of medical problems in susceptible individuals, as well as sabotaging efforts to maintain a healthy body weight.

So, for achieving the health benefits of coffee, just consume it proportionally, and appropriate to the body health conditions.

IS IT REALLY THAT CELL PHONES HAVE MORE BACTERIA THAN TOILET HANDLES

2010-07-28T16:56:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, mostly people in the world use cell phone in any type of them include smartphone. The characteristic of them that compatible make people like use them for communication media. But, have you ever been thinking about the effect of them for healthy life? Based on research that was conducted by Which? magazine as quoted on Daily Mail from a sample of 30 phones suggest 14.7 million of the 63 million mobiles in use in the UK today could be potential health hazards. The average handset carries 18 times more potentially harmful germs than a flush handle in a men's toilet.

This worst handset also had 39 times the safe level of enterobacteria, a group of bacteria that live in the lower intestines of humans and animals and include bugs such as Salmonella. It boasted 170 times the acceptable level of faecal coliforms, which are associated with human waste. Other bacteria including food poisoning bugs e.coli and staphylococcus aureus were found on the phones but at safe levels.

Which? researcher Ceri Stanaway said:

“Most phones didn’t have any immediately harmful bacteria that would make you sick straight away but they were grubbier than they could be. The bugs can end up on your hands which is a breeding ground and be passed back to your phone. They can be transferred back and forth and eventually you could catch something nasty. What this shows is how easy it is to come into contact with bacteria. People see toilet flushes as being something dirty to touch but they have less bacteria than phones. People need to be mindful of that by observing good hygiene themselves and among others who they pass the phone to when looking at photos, for example,”

Therefore, in order that we can still use cell phone for communication and also in order that our appearance is always fashionable, but remain health, we should be able to only get rid of it by having it sterilized. However, since that’s not a possibility, there are ways of preventing our phone becomes a danger to our health: and we should start by making sure we never use it when our hands are dirty, or offering it to someone who forgot to wash their hands after using the toilet or even eating. On average, the levels of bacteria present on a phone are not high enough to pose a serious risk – yet it’s a risk we’re talking nonetheless.

WHITE RICE IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD FOR HEALTH

2010-07-23T23:26:00.000-07:00

Rice is the primer food for people in around the world. Everyday people consumes white rice for fulfill the needs of carbohydratthat will be concert to be calor and energy. But, researchers from the Harvard University found that eating refined or white rice, will increases the blood sugar levels.

The study that was conducted in the U.S. involved over 200,000 Americans, was found that eating 150 gram servings of white rice more than five times a week increased the risk of diabetes by 17 percent compared with people who ate just one serving of rice a month.

So, what the solution?

The study explained that brown rice is healthier than white rice. The consumtion of brown rice can lower the diabetes risk by 16 percent compared to white rice. It is also explained by the fact that brown rice is rich in dietary fiber. Milling of brown rice removes most of its fiber, resulting in higher blood glucose levels.

In this case, brown rice is much healthier than white rice when it comes to its fiber content and nutrients, but its storage life is shorter. Bran of the rice grain contains the B vitamins, minerals, fiber and folic acid. It is also rich in potassium, zinc, cuprum and iodine. It has a mild nut flavor. Brown rice cooks longer than white rice, about 25 minutes.

RAMADHAN IS COMING, MARHABAN YA RAMADHAN

2010-07-14T00:44:00.000-07:00

"O you who believe fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you so that you can learn Taqwa." (Al Quran Al Baqarah (2):183).

Time goes by so fast, could not believe that 1 Ramadhan 1431 is a head coming. Few more weeks, that is on August 11, 2010. Yupps. 1 Ramadhan 2010 will come again.

Ramadhan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar, which is based on the orbiting of the moon (lunar calendar), rather than the orbiting of the earth (solar calendar). It was in the month of Ramadan in which the Quran (Holy Book for Muslims) was first revealed.

In Ramadhan, Muslims are obligated to fasting. Fasting is that Muslims should refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and conjugal relations. This means that no substitute should be introduced into the body, which could be considered as providing nourishment to the body (e.g., a nutritional injection). Fasting also involves abstaining from evil intentions and desires. The length of the Fasting is from dawn to sunset, every day of the month of Ramadhan, the 9th month of the Islamic calendar.

Fasting is obligatory upon every Muslim male and female who has reached the age of puberty, excluded:

Men and women who are too old and feeble to undertake the obligation of fasting.
Sick people whose health may be worsened by fasting.
Pregnant women if according to a doctor's advice they should refrain from fasting.
Breast-feeding mothers if their child does not receive a sufficient quantity of milk because of their mother's fast.
Women in the period of menstruation and after childbirth (up to a maximum of 40 days).
Children under the age of puberty.
Insane people who are not accountable for their deeds.
A traveling Muslim.

All the above people (with the exception of children who are underage and the insane people and the feeble elderly) must make up the number of fasts they have missed on account of their exemption, after the month of Ramadan.

After Ramadhan Muslims will celebrate a feast called Eid-ul-Fitr or Lebaran, a day of thanks giving and happiness celebrates the end of Ramadan. On this day, Muslims offer special prayers in congregation and thank Allah for His blessings and mercy. In conclusion, it is imperative to judge a religion by its teachings and not by people who claim to be its followers.

Actually there some benefit from fasting, that's why fasting is obligated for all Muslims. Fasting teaches us many things. It helps us become a better Muslim. It's not easy! We feel hungry, thirsty, sleepy and so on. But these are seeds we plant in the Garden of Ramadhan. We will harvest the beautiful tasty fruits of Jannah (Heaven). In each of the fruits below, write one benefit we will get from fasting. We can choose some from the list as following Taqwa, Self-control, Goodness, Charity, Kindness, Nearness to Allah (SWT), Strength, Sympathy, Empathy, Sincerity, Forgiveness, Blessings, and many good and sweet fruits.

HAPPY FASTING, MARHABAN YA RAMADHAN

FAST FOOD AND OUR HEALTH CARE

2010-07-11T00:26:00.000-07:00

All of us like eating fast food because it is practice and delicious, and also easy to find it in fast food restaurants. More over, for a busy people that is quite difficult to cook meals everyday. Consuming fast food is a good option. But we will got surprise to know that fast food has the bad impact on our health care. It can cause dangerous diseases when taken in excess. Fast food contain higher amount of fats and salts compared to home cooked meals, therefore home cooked meals are healthier than fast food. A quick glimpse at the diseases caused by fast food with the opportunity to understand the demerits.

Because of the contents of nutrients in fast food, people can got Obesity, Heart diseases, High blood pressure, Diabetes, and Breast cancer. High carbohydrate content is another major issue with fast food. Carbohydrates is a great contributor to obesity. Food like burger, noodles, hot dogs, sausages, fries and aerated drinks have high carb content along with several toxic ingredients. Regular intake of the above mentioned food can prove dangerous in the long run. Fast food is easy to cook but does not have any nutritional value. A plateful of noodles or a hot dog might satisfy your hunger, but they don’t have any food value. What you gain after eating them is nothing but loads of extra calories.

Fast food is also high in sodium, fats and salts. Cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, fried fish, pizzas, and milk shakes may sound lip smacking. But they are unhealthy food. A meal consisting of a sugary drink, a burger and fries is equivalent of calories required in two days. Oils used in the food are extremely fatty and increases cholesterol content in blood. Fast food is always taken while an individual is on the run. Eating carelessly may cause overeating, which is an important cause of obesity. It is hard to avoid fast food in today’s fast world. But we can always try to do the better in order that we can enjoy our healthy life by healthy foods.

SAFE AND HEALTH TREATMENT FOR SLEEP APNEA

2010-07-07T21:41:00.000-07:00

Sleep apnea is a type of sleep disorder that can suffer people who experience it, because sleep apnea can be a risky and pressing health concern especially if it becomes worse as the days go by and remains untreated. Therefore, people who is suffered by sleep apnea need to be treated well, safe, comfort, and health.

It is important to note that there are two major goals for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. The first goal is restoring regular breathing especially during the sleeping hours. The second is to relieve the basic symptoms associated with the disorder like daytime sleepiness and loud snoring whilst sleeping.

Treatments for the disorder can involve the following: mouthpieces, breathing devices, lifestyle changes, and surgery. Unfortunately there are still no regulatory approved medicines that are specifically for sleep apnea treatment. The best first step to finding the most suitable and most effective treatment option that is available for you, is to visit a sleep specialist or the doctor.

Mouthpieces
- Mouthpieces used to treat the condition are often called oral appliances and are generally used to treat mild cases of sleep apnea. People, whether or not they have the disorder that snore very loudly are usually recommended these. These custom-made mouthpieces are made by orthodontists and dentists to treat the condition, and would help to adjust the lower jaw as well as the tongue and by so doing the airway would be kept open during sleep. The downside of this appliance is that the patient may not be spared any discomfort or pain caused by the device and that periodic visits to the doctor would be necessary.

Breathing Devices
- There are specific breathing devices available for the treatment of this condition. The use of a continuous positive airway pressure machine (CPAP machine) could be called for in severe cases in adults. This is a special machine that uses a mask that fits over the nose and mouth and then gently blows air into the throat, and by so doing causes the air to press against the wall of the airway thus keeping it open. By careful adjustment, this gentle air pressure would prevent narrowing of the airway and blockage problems can be eliminated. This device is ideally setup and installed by a qualified technician.

Lifestyle Changes
- To effectively treat sleep apnea you would most likely be asked to make several lifestyle changes effecting habit and daily activities. Generally people suffering from this condition are obese or overweight, so a weight loss program should be adopted to loose those extra pounds. In an effort to keep the throat open for breathing whilst sleeping, sufferers should be encouraged to sleep on their sides rather than on their backs. To help achieve this there are devices commonly called sleep balls that are attached to the back of sleeping garments, so that when the person rolls over onto their backs they are uncomfortable and the person then rolls over onto their side to avoid the discomfort. Another lifestyle change would be to stop smoking as this can worsen the condition, and avoid excess intake of alcohol. Another change that can be made is the use of nasal sprays and allergy medicines in the correct dosage, to help keep the nasal passages wide open.

Surgery
- The least liked by sleep apnea sufferers for the treatment of the disorder and quite understandably, is surgery. To further widen a person's breathing passages surgery can be undertaken. Such an operation usually involves shrinking, stiffening, and removing excess tissue located in the throat or mouth as well as in some cases resetting the lower jaw. Sometimes a minor operation to remove tonsils is all that is called for and this is often the case in young children.

I LIKE COOKING MOM......

2010-06-30T16:19:00.000-07:00

She washes the tomatoes and then slices them and fry them. because the stove is on the table, and she can reach it, she use the chair and stand on it. Not only that, she also fries eggs, make noodle, and making rice.

Yups, she is my fourth doughter, Kak Ifa. She is 5 years old. But, she is not like other sisters and brother. She like doing any kind of household work, such as washing dishes, cooking, washing clothes, sweeping, and mopping, and any others. If I see her doing these activities I just questions to myself, how this is like miracle. I wonder to her.

Sometimes i also get worried when she switches on the stove, uses the knive, cooking rice, and so on. But anything can she does.

The teacher of her in kindergarten said that she is very autonomousat class. I can feel that, because she is not like other children who must be companied their mother or someone they know while they are in class. Since the first level in kindergarten, Kak Ifa is always in class by herself. I, or my hubby commonly just accompany her untill the school gate and then pick her up when the school is over.

WHAT ARE BABY'S FIRST WORDS

2010-06-18T00:56:00.000-07:00

Being a parents is the greatest gift from God. Any kind of behavior of the babies make us that those are miracle. Anything happened and there are always changes on them, either physicaly or mentally. All of their motions are something that we would not ever disobeying them. We always take care and pay attention for them, for any changes on them.

Yet, do you ever take care why the baby's first words are often 'mama' and 'papa'. When we hear those words spoken by our babies, the great happiness got increased in our heart. Then, this seems so natural for us that we hardly think why babies actually utter these words first.

Untill, the experts at the University of British Columbia have made brain scans of babies to successfully crack that mystery. The secret lies in repeating the same syllables. The study involved newborns (age 2 days to 3 days). When babies heard repeating syllables, their brain activity increased in the zones responsible for attention, abstract thinking, hearing and speech functions. Figuratively speaking, more complex words go in one ear and out the other, causing no responses from the baby’s brain. Conducted experiments convincingly explain why babies around the world speak nearly the same language. Mama, papa, dada are the most simple words for them to understand and to utter.

YOUR BODY'S RED LIGHT WARNING SIGNAL FOR YOUR HEALTHY

2010-06-12T20:23:00.000-07:00

Your Body's Red Light Warning Signals, Neil Shulman, MD, provides a head-to-toe owner's manual for the human body. His book lists hundreds of medical symptoms that could mean life or death, or serious disability.

Shulman, a professor of internal medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, has authored numerous medical books and scientific papers.

It's serious stuff, stuff he likens to "terrorists inside our bodies," he tells WebMD. The symptoms are "killing way too many people. There's tremendous suffering and horrible death which could be avoided, but people don't know that something's wrong."

In fact, it happens all the time, a symptom is missed -- and it leads to a tragic ending. Or it's caught just in time, and a life is saved. Quite literally, it's that dramatic, Shulman tells WebMD.

Here are "six flags" -- six medical symptoms -- you should keep in mind:

If you have unexplained weight loss and/or loss of appetite, you may have a serious underlying medical illness.
Slurred speech, paralysis, weakness, tingling, burning pains, numbness, and confusion are signs of a stroke, and you should get to an appropriate emergency center immediately. Early treatment may prevent permanent damage to the brain or even save your life.
Slurred speech can often go unnoticed, says Shulman. However, you might have a blood clot in a blood vessel going to the brain or bleeding in a blood vessel.
Black, tarry stools may indicate a hemorrhage from an ulcer of the stomach or the intestine. It is important to stop the bleeding and to rule out cancer as a cause.What you eat changes the color of stools. But black, tarry stools mean there may be bleeding higher in the intestine, says Shulman. It could be a sign of a bleeding ulcer or cancer in the intestine.
A headache accompanied by a stiff neck and fever is an indicator of a serious infection called meningitis.In fact, if you can't put your chin on your chest, that's a sign you may have bacterial meningitis, says Shulman. You need antibiotics immediately to kill the bacteria before it infects and scars the brain.
A sudden, agonizing headache, more severe than any you have felt before, could mean you are bleeding in the brain. Go to an emergency room immediately.A brain aneurysm is rare, but it can happen -- especially in people under age 40. If you have a severe, crushing headache, you may have an aneurysm, which is a blood-filled pouch bulging out from a weak spot in the wall of a brain artery. If treated before it bursts, it could save your life.

For women: Vaginal bleeding after menopause is a warning sign of possible cancer.
Some women are in denial when they discover postmenopausal bleeding. "Others think it's a little cut, or something in their urine," says Shulman. But bleeding after menopause is a sign of uterine cancer, which is treatable if caught early.

For men: A lump in your testicle with or without a small lump in the groin could be serious. Testicular cancer is more commonly found in testicles that did not naturally descend from the abdomen to the scrotum.
Guys, when you take shower, check yourself, says Shulman. "That doesn't mean you have to do it every day, but once in awhile. It's so simple, simpler than washing your hair. It becomes an automatic thing, then it's easier to remember. If you know what 'normal' feels like, then you'll know when it feels abnormal."

THE MEANING OF FRIENDS FOR WOMAN

2010-06-06T21:21:00.000-07:00

In this life, anybody needs friends to share together about any experience and feelings, either woman, or man. Recently, scientists have found the phenomenon of female friendship and reported their finding in one of the most influential scientific journal Science. This study involved women aged between 25 and 35 years old. Researchers discovered that more than 70 percent of women think that a true friendship is when you can be yourself with your friend.

Women also reported that a true friend is who you can rely on (36 percent of those polled) and who you don’t need to explain the reasons behind your behavior to (24 percent of respondents). Researchers further revealed that women generally prefer age peers as friends and long time friendship. “Long time” varied among women in the study, from 10 to 21 years depending on the age group of respondents.

Almost 30 percent of women reported their friendships were built at work, 40 percent at school and 32 percent at the college. When asked about underlying friendship rules most women named being able to support emotionally at bad times and never messing around with a friend’s partner.

TYPE OF WOMAN AS A DOUGHTER

2010-06-01T20:40:00.000-07:00

Childhood is the age when people form their characteristic and personality. The research that had been conducted by British psychologists revealled that childhood bonds affect the person of a woman in adulthood. The research classified the type of woman as a doughter experience and her bonds on someone either mother, father, grandmother, or grand father.

The four groups are:

Dad’s daughters. They grow into self-confident, success-oriented women who get along with men well, but tend to be too emotional and capricious.
Mom’s daughters. Mom’s daughters are likely to become the most feminine of all. They tend to be more responsible as adults but are shy and have difficulties coping with personal problems.
Grandmom’s grand-daughters. They will likely to become idealists who are very exacting about themselves and the others, preserving that all-or nothing childish attitude.
Granddad’s grand-daughters. This type tends to grow into understanding and compassionate persons but suffer from low self-esteem throughout their adulthood.

Now, what kind of doughter you are?

MAY YOU LIVE WITHOUT SEX AND SMARTPHONE?

2010-05-26T22:48:00.000-07:00

In a survey conducted by RingCentral conveys that smartphones have changed the way of life or life style of people, especially business professionals. In this survey, smartphones tied with sex (intimate relationship) and become the number one thing that business professionals can not live without. In a survey among RingCentral’s small to medium-sized business customers in the U.S., the importance of the smartphone in daily and business life was reiterated over and over again. This survey involved nearly 400 customers, and showed that smartphones are taking on the defacto role in business communication.

Here are some results:

Smartphones and intimate relationships tied at 40% for the number one thing respondents can’t live without.
79% of respondents use their smartphones to conduct most business calls, versus an office phone or home phone.
34% use a smartphone more than a computer for business. 7% even said they don’t take their laptops with them when they travel for business if they have a smartphone.
48% of respondents said that at least two-thirds of their phone communication is via smartphone.

It will be interesting to see how tablet devices like the iPad will be used for business and how those devices will be classified. How has having a smartphone changed (or not changed) how you conduct business?

SLEEP POSITION REVEALS YOUR PERSONALITY

2010-05-24T06:58:00.000-07:00

Scientists believe the position in which a person goes to sleep provides an important clue about the kind of person they are. Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, has analysed six common sleeping positions - and found that each is linked to a particular personality type (Source).

Here are some sleep poston and the correlation with the personality.

Fetus position - A whopping 41% of participants sleep in this curled-up manner. Women are twice as likely to rest like this and it is listed as the most common position. These sleepers are said to have a tough exterior but are still sensitive and may appear to be shy but warm up quickly.
Log position - If you sleep on your side with both arms down, you are a social, easy-going person who is trusting, sometimes to the point of being gullible. The study showed 15% of people sleep like a log.
Yearner position - A close third is the side-lying position with both arms out in front of the body, with 13% of partipants sleeping like this. Yearners are noted to be open-minded and still cynical, suspicious, and stubborn about sticking to decisions once they are made.
Soldier position - These sleepers lie on their backs with arms down and kept close to the body. This 8% study is said to be reserved, quiet, without fuss, and hold themselves and others to a high standard. Soldier sleepers have a higher likelihood for snoring due to the flat-back position, which may not cause them to wake up often but may result in a less restful night's sleep.
Freefall position - Those people who lie on their bellies with arms under or wrapped around a pillow with head turned to the side, make up 7% of the population studied. Freefallers are brash, outgoing, and are very uncomfortable with criticism.
Starfish position - Sleepers who lie on their backs with arms up near their head or the pillow account for 5% of participants. These people are good listeners, helpful, and are uncomfortable being the center of attention. People who sleep in starfish position are more likely to snore and to suffer from a poor night's sleep more often.

If you think you are one of those people who move through all of these positions, that's not likely to really be the case. Idzikowski said the research reveals most people stay in the same position all night and only 5% lay differently night by night. Also interesting is that the study showed only one in ten people cover their bodies entirely with a blanket, with most people exposing an arm, leg, or both feet.

KEEPING HOME AWAY FROM MICE

2010-05-18T12:26:00.000-07:00

When we see the cartoon film such as Mickey Mouse or Tom and Jerry, we will see how funny those kind of mice. But how terrible we feel when they live together with our family and give some disadvantages for our family?
Mouse or Mice is the little animal and primarily nocturnal animals. Therefore, mice compensate for their poor eyesight with a keen sense of hearing, and rely especially on their sense of smell to locate food and avoid predators.

Moreover, mouse is like to live with people at home and make some unexpected thing, because mouse can be harmful rodents, damaging and eating crops, causing structural damages and spreading diseases through their parasites and feces. House mice are scavengers by nature and they are potential carriers of many diseases and if left untreated, could harm our family, and in the worse case scenario, this could be dangerous. When people breathing dust that has come in contact with mouse excrements has been linked to hantavirus, which may lead to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). These disadvantages of course will very disturb people and all family member at home. Therefore, it needs for cleaner surroundings and proper sanitation protocols were developed because of the black plague and we as a society found out just how deadly house mice and rats could be.

There are some tips in protecting our home against these mice:

Make our home and surrounds clean, especially kitchen and warehouse or storeroom. This will prevent the chances of house mice from invading our dwellings. The garbage must always be segregated and properly disposed of in an area far away from the kitchen.
Pay attention to any sounds of mice in home, such as at wall and ceilings. Commonly, they have that scratching sound which can be heard throughout the day. By knowing the source of sounds of mice we know where they are commonly visits and we can set up the trap for them. But be careful in setting up these traps because these will make danger if we are careless.
Investigate walls and floors to see if there are any signs of mice., such as any holes, or scratches. Mice will often make scratches in the floors or look at cracks in the walls or ceilings. If there is a serious infestation, better to call a professional exterminator to take care of the problem. In the long run, it may be better for our family for it prevents any unnecessary trip to the hospital for food poisoning due to ingestion of mice droppings.

Weekend Song: Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting lyrics

2010-05-08T16:07:00.000-07:00

Oceans apart day after day

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line

But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never

How can we say forever

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times

That I though would last somehow

I hear the laughter, I taste the tears

But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby

You've got me goin' CrAzY

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive

This romance

But in the end if I'm with you

I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby

You've got me goin' cRaZy

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

KARTINI'S DAY ON APRIL 21

2010-04-22T23:43:00.000-07:00

My doughters who are still in elementary school celebrated the Kartini's Day. Kak Dhila who is still in first class was not asked by the teacher to wear Kebaya for this celebration, she was just asked to write the story about Kartini on April 21. At that day her writing was titled 'Perjalanan Kartini'.

Then, tomorrow, my other doughter, Kak Ida also will celebrate Kartini's Day in her school. At this time she should wear Kebaya, but not use 'konde'. So, she remain wear her veil. Of course, when she should put off her veil and wear 'konde', I will forbid her to do it. And Alhamdulillah.... she should still wear her veil.... :)

Actually, who is R.A. Kartini? Here is a few story about her.

Every April 21 Indonesian people celebrate Kartini’s Day. R.A. Kartini is one heroine in Indonesia for her struggle for women’s education at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Kartini was one daughter of a so-called mayor in her hometown, living 1879-1904. As one daughter coming from a high social class family, she could enjoy going to elementary school. She was luckier than any other girls around her age who couldnt go to school coz school was very expensive. Besides, going to school was not a common thing yet for those coming from middle-low class society. Moreover girls.

However, Kartini could not continue her study to junior high school, with a (now obviously) simlpe reason: because she is ONLY a girl. Absolutely, she felt very discriminated by her parents coz her brothers continued their studies. To respect Javanese culture, of course Kartini obeyed her parents. However, it didnt stop her dream. She continued writing letters to her Dutch friends, confiding in them about her unfavorable situation, especially, and also for other girls generally. During her spare time, before her parents “forced” her to marry their chosen guy, Kartini gathered some girls around her neighborhood to teach them to read and write.

Her famous writing was collected as the book 'Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang'.

Because of her struggle, Soeharto regime chose her to be one of heroine in Indonesia, and decided April 21, Kartini’s birthday, as Kartini’s Day.

MUSIC IN EVERYDAY LIFE

2010-04-15T22:46:00.000-07:00

Music is unusual among all human activities for both its ubiquity and its antiquity. No known human culture now nor anytime in the recorded past lacked music, and some of the oldest physical artifacts found in human and proto-human excavation sites are musical instruments: bone flutes and animal skins stretched over tree stumps to make drums. Whenever humans come together for any reason, music is there: at weddings, funerals, graduation from college, soldiers marching off to war, stadium sporting events, prayer, a romantic dinner, mothers rocking their infants to sleep, and college students studying for exams. Even moreso in non-industrialized cultures than in modern Western societies, music is and was part of the fabric of everyday life – accompanying activities throughout the day from gathering and preparing food, to hunting, domestic chores, crafts, and religious ritual.

It is a common knowledge that song lyrics actually affect moods and social behavior of people, so in the different event, the different lyric would be provided, because there is the determined effect of certain song lyrics to the social behavior of people. Really, song lyrics would effectively initiate unintentional attitudes. Thus, many people and organizations could use specific songs with specific categories of lyrics to invoke targeted and intended social behaviors and feelings.

Then, many people today use music for emotional regulation in the way that they use drugs such as caffeine and alcohol: they use a certain kind of music to help get them going in the morning, another kind to unwind after work. People use music to help make it through their exercise workout or to comfort them during emotional crises. College students study to music and brain surgeons perform their most concentration-intensive procedures while music plays in the background. Music is often employed, therefore, as a way to motivate ourselves to accomplish certain tasks, and as a means of mood induction. Music becomes a way of organizing one's internal and social world, helping to continually reconstruct the aims of various activities. Just as film soundtracks enhance and emphasise the action on the movie screen, we all have “life soundtracks” – music we listen to that inspires, motivates, calms, excites, and generally moves along the action in our daily lives.

RELATIONAL BEHAVIOUR: WHEN YOU BACK TO YOUR EX

2010-04-08T19:29:00.000-07:00

For the moment, you feel completely broken hard, as the person you held dearest decided to call it quits. Rise and shine, because there are verified methods that will teach you how to get back an ex, and that easy and painlessly.

Be Positive

It may be easier said than done, yet it is one of the best thing you can do right now for yourself and for your relationship. No matter how tragic things seem to you right now, it does not help to dress in black and cry your brains out. Act like a positive human being, and good things will come your way, as well. Even your ex will notice that you do not carry around that miserable aura, and they will appreciate you.

Learn to Be a Good Listener

Desperate with the outcome of the break up, you feel entitled to go on a self blame trip, accompanied by excessive apologies. Instead of making yourself heard this way, you should stop and listen, for a change. It is very important that you learn what went wrong and what led to the break up in the first place, if you want to mend things and start all over again. If you want to learn how to get back an ex, becoming all ears will help you tremendously.

Put Yourself in Their Shoes

Being empathic really does the trick when you want to truly get along with your ex. Listen carefully to the things they say that led to you two drifting apart. Try being them, for a little while, and have a little imagination exercise, to see if you would not felt the same way, if you were in their place.

If It's Broken, Fix It

Where there is a will, there is a way. After you have listened to your ex's point of view, and have understood that it was only natural for them to feel hurt, and call it quits, it is time to take action. Even if, for the moment, your relationship is broken, it does not mean it cannot be fixed. Put some effort into changing yourself, and rectify the problem. Do not get disappointed if it does not work right away, your willingness to make things right will not go unnoticed. When you're learning how to get back an ex, such things are of the utmost importance.

LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP MAINTENANCE

2010-04-07T07:40:00.000-07:00

A long distant relationship can be identified by the distance which separates the couple. High school sweethearts that move off to college, overseas military deployments, and even Internet dating share the same common denominator of separation prohibiting regular interaction between the couple. The marriage, when the one must go abroad due to the higher education or accomplishing the job, so they should live apart. Then, being apart physically makes a marriage even more challenging. So, the key, as it is in all relationships, is communication. Keep the lines of communication open on a daily basis.
By this communication, so the satisfaction of the long distance relationship will be maintained.

Of course, the type of communication is the mediated communication, such as letter, short messageing system, phone call, email, chatting, etc. By this way, the couple will always stay close, either physically they are apart. In this mediated communication, so the couple also should make a schedule in order that the communication can be effective. This because if they are too often call each other, this will make worst and make the partner can do their activities well. Beside that less-frequent communication will not only keep the couple from growing dependent on each other, but also will provide both with the freedom to grow independently and have their own lives and hobbies. By doing this, the couple will have more exciting updates to share and they will be much more excited and enthusiastic to talk to each other because they been anticipating that phone date all week

The other that also should be considered is that in this mediated communication the couple can't read one another's non-verbal communication, so they can use symbols or words or happy faces to describe their thoughts better.

Then........when they are back together, they should not rush into getting things done around the house right away. Allow the returning spouse to have some time to adjust to being back home.

When they are together, meet each other, so in the long distance relationships, this moment will be the precise moment, in which they can feel how great to live with the partners.

Doing activitie together will make them so satisfy and enjoy their relationships.

And the most important then, is the commitment. Being committed to one another and truly believing that they believe in the marriage commitment is vital. A long distance marriage will fail if there is a lack of trust between the partners.

LONG DISTANCE EDUCATION: WHAT ARE THE BENEFIT?

2010-04-05T01:10:00.000-07:00

There are some advantages of long distance education or online education:

Courses online are less destructive on family, as you complete your course work around your family events.
You're in charge of the course as well as homework completion, when you meet the course demands.
You may never be absent or tardy, as you complete the work at your own convenience.
Online degrees obtained from a trustworthy institution equal attending customary courses at the same college or university.
Progress in technology based virtual and interactive worlds make it easier to finish course demands in science and engineering programs.
You can go to college in your pajamas and complete your course work anywhere you want.
Prior school work is credit usually receives far more favorable approval from college programs online.

Yet, not all people can find those advantages, there are many who don't agree with long distance education, and the reasons are:

Studying alone provides its drawbacks, as the classmates and professor are not immediately accessible to put questions and share thoughts.
It is more problematic to learn via group work as well as collaborative projects, due to time and distance.
Not every degree program is available on the Internet, although extra degree programs become available daily.
When a question comes up to your mind in the heat of the night and there is nobody available to answer, you should e-mail your professor and then wait for his/her response.
You should have perfect computer skills to have access to discussion boards, interactive websites, virtual worlds, and capability to search the Web for accessible resources.

FROZEN YOGURT: HEALTHY, SMOOTH, FRESH, AND YUMMMM.......

2010-03-29T02:24:00.000-07:00

Frozen yogurt (also known as frozen yoghurt or by the tradenames Froyo and Frogurt) is a dessert similar to ice cream, but lower in fat. It is typically made with yogurt, but non-dairy versions also exist. Frozen yogurt may be sweet or sour and may or may not contain the live bacteria cultures present in regular yogurt. Like ice cream, frozen yogurt can be made in nearly any flavor imaginable. Frozen yogurt is often sold as soft serve, but may also be purchased in cartons like ice cream.

Frozen Yogurt was introduced as a healthier alternative to ice cream but consumers complained about the tart taste and yogurt-like consistency. Frozen yogurt was introduced in the 1970s. While frozen yogurt was originally fairly sour, with Dannon producing one of the first commercial frozen yogurt products in the 1970s, the dessert became sweeter through the years.

Manufacturers began production of a recipe that consumers would enjoy and frozen yogurt made a comeback in the 1980s, reaching sales of $25 million in 1986. In the early 1990s, frozen yogurt was 10% of the dessert market.

Frozen yogurt is made in the same way as ice cream, constantly churned at a very low temperature. In addition to yogurt, most recipes include gelatin, some sort of sweetener, and additional flavors and colors. Fat-free and sugar-free frozen yogurt recipes also exist.

Frozen yogurt shops like offering soft serve in a rotating variety of flavors with an offering of wet and dry toppings, led the trend of sweeter frozen yogurts. Frozen yogurt gained in popularity throughout the 1980s and 1990s as a lowfat alternative to ice cream.

In recent years, sour frozen yogurt has seen somewhat of a resurgence.

Frozen yogurt is easy to make at home with an ice cream maker, and you can make it sour or sweet to suit your taste and experiment with your favorite flavors. Keep in mind that yogurt is slower both to freeze and to melt than cream, so mixing time will be a bit longer than for ice cream. Some ice cream makers include a frozen yogurt recipe or two in their literature, and many recipes -- from the standard chocolate and vanilla to unusual creations like lemon-ginger and vanilla-lime, can be found online.

EARTH HOUR 2010

2010-03-27T23:31:00.000-07:00

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. Earth Hour also is known to result in drop of energy consumption. But not one power generating station has reported lowered production of energy. Statistically, this relates to a zero effect on change of carbon emissions.

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour. Only a year later and this event had become a global sustainability movement with up to 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

Earth Hour 2010 is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up, to take responsibility and to get involved in working towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to The Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world will turn off their lights and join together in creating the vital conversation about the future of our precious planet.

Over 64 countries and territories are participating in Earth Hour 2010. This number grows every day as people realise how such a simple act, can have such a profound result in affecting change.

In Indonesia, Earth Hour Program 2010 had saved electricity until 811 MW (for system in Java and Bali) or Rp. 580 Million (http://arsipberita.com/show/bisnis/finance/2010/03/28/earth-hour-sukses-pln-jawa-bali-berhemat-rp-580-juta/). So, more participant will get more saving.

Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make a difference.

BUNDA: song by Melly Goeslaw

2010-01-10T15:09:00.000-08:00

Kubuka album biru
Penuh debu dan usang
Ku pandangi semua gambar diri
Kecil bersih belum ternoda

Pikirkupun melayang
Dahulu penuh kasih
Teringat semua cerita orang
Tentang riwayatku

Reff:
Kata mereka diriku slalu dimanja
Kata mereka diriku slalu dtimang

Nada nada yang indah
Slalu terurai darinya
Tangisan nakal dari bibirku
Takkan jadi deritanya

Tangan halus dan suci

Tlah mengangkat diri ini
Jiwa raga dan seluruh hidup
Rela dia berikan

Back to reff

Oh bunda ada dan tiada dirimu
Kan slalu ada di dalam hatiku

BLUE MOON OF NEW YEARS EVE 2010

2009-12-30T01:13:00.000-08:00

Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't expect it to be blue — the name has nothing to do with the color of our closest celestial neighbor. A full moon occurred on Dec. 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown. The New Year's Eve blue moon will be visible in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up until New Year's Day, making January a blue moon month for them. However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse on New Year's Eve when part of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. The eclipse will not be visible in the Americas.

A full moon occurs every 29.5 days, and most years have 12. (There are 12 full moons most years but every two or three years there's an extra full moon which is called a 'Blue Moon'). On average, an extra full moon in a month — a blue moon — occurs every 2.5 years. The last time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't come again until 2028.

Blue moons have no astronomical significance. 'Blue moon' is just a name in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon'. The popular definition of blue moon came about after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misinterpreted the Maine Farmer's Almanac and labeled a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the almanac defined a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moon, not the usual three.

Though Sky dan Telescope corrected the error decades later, the definition caught on. For purists, however, this New Year's Eve full moon doesn't even qualify as a blue moon. It's just the first full moon of the winter season.

The most literal meaning of Blue Moon is when a casual observer regards it as unusually bluish. This effect can be triggered by smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere, as happened after forest fires in Sweden and Canada in 1950. In 1883, the Krakatoa volcanic eruption in Java left the moon looking blue for nearly two years.

LOVE SONG FOR THIS WEEKEND: TONIGHT I CELEBRATE MY LOVE FOR YOU

2009-11-13T23:05:00.000-08:00

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
It seems the natural thing to do
Tonight no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind us
When I make love to you
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And hope that deep inside you feel it too
Tonight our spirits will be climbing
To the sky lit up with diamonds
When I make love to you tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you (ooh)
And that midnight song is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do
Is to get close to you tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And soon this old world will seem brand new
Tonight we will both discover
How friends turn into lovers
When I make love to you

Tonight I celebrate my love for you (ooh)
And that midnight song is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do
Is to get close to you

Tonight I celebrate my love for you

"Tonight, I Celebrate My Love" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Michael Masser recorded as a duet single released in 1983 by singers Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack. It became a big hit for both singers, peaking at number sixteen on the Billboard Hot 100, number five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number four on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. It also peaked at number two in the UK, becoming the 25th best selling single of 1983 in the UK. It boosted the careers of both stars and brought them both returns to prominence.

ALADDIN -- A WHOLE NEW WORLD

2009-10-07T00:44:00.000-07:00

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I’m way up here
It’s crystal clear

That now I’m in a whole
New world with you
Now I’m in a whole
New world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don’t you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath, it gets better

I’m like a shooting star
I’ve come so far
I can’t go back
To where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter

I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
Let me share this whole
New world with you

A whole new world
That’s where we’ll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

SANGATTA, EAST BORNEO

2009-09-13T01:32:00.000-07:00

Today, September 13, 2009, my hubby got his trips to Sangatta, East Kutai, in East Borneo by Lion Air, from Juanda Surabaya. He was Check in on about 11.00 AM and the Airplane flight was on 12.05 PM. On 14.20 He called me that he has been on East Borneo and has being on the trips to Sangatta. I never know before about Sangatta, yet when I search by google, I find the photo that pick on August 2008, a year ago. I download it, and here it is:

From photo above, we can imagine that Sangatta is the lil city in East Borneo. It is a capital city of East Kutai, a regency of East Borneo province, Indonesia. It has an area of 35,747,50 km² and population 169,564 people (2004). East Kutai is subdivided into 18 subdistricts and there are several coal mining companies has concession around this regency, including Kaltim Prima Coal, one of the largest coal mining company in Indonesia.

Yet, related to East Borneo or East Kalimantan I can explain it from Wikipedia like this:

East Kalimantan (Indonesian: Kalimantan Timur abbrv. Kaltim) is the second largest Indonesian province, located on the Kalimantan region on the east of Borneo island. The resource-rich province has two major cities, Samarinda (the capital and a center for timber product) and Balikpapan (a petroleum center with oil refinery). Ever since Indonesia opened its mineral and natural resources for foreign investment in 1970s, East Kalimantan province has experienced major boost of timber, petroleum and other exotic forest products. The state-owned petroleum company Pertamina has been operating in the area since it took control oil refinery from the Royal Dutch Shell company in 1965. The population is a mixture of people from the Indonesian archipelago with Dayaks and Kutai as indigenous ethnic groups living in rural areas. Other prominent migrant ethnic groups include Javanese, Chinese, Banjarese, Bugis and Malays, who mostly live in coastal areas. This province is the location of the oldest Hindu kingdom in Indonesia, Kutai, the existence of which is attested to by a stone manuscript, or Prasasti, which is now kept in the National Museum in Jakarta. The manuscript is written in the Pallava alphabet and the Sanskrit language. The replica of this manuscript can be seen in the Governor's Office in Samarinda. Inscriptions on seven stone pillars (yupa posts) erected in the fifth century BCE on the command of a local ruler, King Mulavarman, records his victories, his generosity to brahmins, his princely genealogy.

Beside to Sangatta, my hubby also will go to Berau, East Borneo too. Just my wish, he will be back to Surabaya on Tuesday night, September 15, 2009, as his plan, due to he also has been got the ticket for Surabaya at that flight. So we can pass this great and glorious month of Ramadhan together again.

NOTHING GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU

2009-07-26T23:37:00.000-07:00

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They’ll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don’t want to live without you

Nothing’s gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll never ask for more than your love
Nothing’s gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing’s gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead a way for us
Like a guiding star
I’ll be there for you if you should need me
You don’t have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I’ll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don’t want to live without you

It was originally recorded by George Benson for his 1984 album 20/20. This song achieved worldwide success in a cover version by Hawaiian singer Glenn Medeiros in 1988.

I'M A MOM ...... I GET BORED........

2009-07-20T22:01:00.000-07:00

I am a mom, I'm a human being, and I get bored, then... I have a dream....
Many activities burden me and make me burn out. While, there are many people in my surrounding and become one community with me just spend their time by talking, gossips, chatting, .... yups in my surrounding there are mr. talky, miss. talky, bull shits, and doing something not appropriate to the goals. Any just make this place so complicated with problem and trouble. And me?
Just be patient, many activities must be completed, from my household, and all around. I also must face complain from others related to many tasks, debt, people in this place, and so on.
I realize that I can't lead them and guide them, yet I can make a simple concept in order to many thing can be completed orderly. Contrary, my hubby always make a wrong decision in anything. So, the fact is, there are many people, but can't give the problem solution, and the problem still retain without clear solution, just false solution....
Actually, the vital need is the leader, and we have got it; the crucial ones are we need the credible programmer, and web designer. Not, the marketing.... That's so foolish, really fool decision, due to actually there are people who can hold this marketing function. That's why since the first time there was this recruitment, I never agree. But I cannot say that because I'm not the person who like argument, and usually my argument will be cut by the big boss.
Beside that, this decision also based on the nafsu or emotion of someone, the employee,
Seeing this fact, and the actual of my activities who should cover most of part needs of this life cycle, I feel so ill feel. I get angry but I can't do nothing. Then, I feel that this life is unfair for me. So ... yupps......I act so childish. O my God, please forgive me.
The other is, that I never agree that in this place there is practice of ikhtilath, non hijab, and kholwat. As you know, this has been being our commitment together to stand the Islam fully or Kaffah. This commitment supports me to accept whatever my hubby given to me, whoever he is, and make me feel so hurt when I should follow this business, in which I should face the non muhrim, deliver service for them, etc. I believe that Allah is so Fair for the people, all people, so without disobeying His Sunnah and Guideliness, we will get what we should get.
Then, showing that, I can't stand and finally I act so childish. I realize that. And, now just istighfar... and be patient....

Finally I would like to say:

Selama tidak segera kembali kepada fitrah, dan selama di dalamnya terjadi ikhtilath, kholwat, tiada hijab, rasanya akan tetap jauuuuuuuh dari keberkahannnn..... jadi bukan tempatnya yang tidak berkah, tetapi penghuninya menjauhi kberkahan dengan mengabaikan syariat yang telah diberlakukan............ (my FB)

So, why my hubby always ask me, why it is like there is no keberkahan in this place?????

MY FIRST LOVE: NIKKA COSTA

2009-07-20T08:02:00.000-07:00

Everyone can see
There's a change in me
They all say I'm not the same
Kid I use to be

Don't go out and play
I just dream all day
They don't know what's wrong with me
And I'm too shy to say

It's my first love
What I'm dreaming on
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do

My first love
He thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could tell him what I'm feeling
'cause I'm feeling my first love

Mirror on the wall
Does he care at all
Does he ever notice me
Does he ever found

Tell me teddy bear
My love is so unfair
Will I ever found away
An answer to my pray
For my first love...

MY FAMILY TWO DAYS HOLIDAY

2009-07-19T02:21:00.000-07:00

Today and tomorrow, my children get holiday, today is Sunday and tomorrow is yje moelem Celebration day of Isro' Mi'roj. In this Sunday morning, after we pray together (it can be named as 'istighotsa', we commonly citate some praying word (do'a) in the morning and in the evening together everyday), we did activities together, all together. My hubby sweep the floor and mopped the floor, my first son bought some dishes for breakfast and lunch, wash the clothes, my second tidy up the clothes, and then both of them prepare all uniform for their school. My third, my fourth, and my fifth playing together, and I cooking, wash some dishes, and so on. During completing each activities, we talk about anything, so the house get so crowded and noises. We make a joke, and lough together, yet we also still remaind each other in order that the jokes do not make other disturbed. But, I think all of us have been understand each other, so anything goes well. I enjoy this morning togetherness.

This morning all of us agree to have the breakfast with 'tahu jebrot' and 'tempe penyet', so it will be very simple. As usual, all my fifth kids use 'nampan' (big plate) and they eat together in one plate. This habit will make their togetherness, and will make them tied emotionally, so they always remember each other when they got grown and separated by place. After we completing our breakfast, and all my children also have completed their tasks in preparing their school on Tuesday, we are back to do our each hobbies. All my four kids turn on their computers, and my fifth got sleeping, my hubby watch television, and I did my task. This morning I arrange one questionnaire about teacher credibility and the student attitude. It's easy because I have made the operational definition yesterday, so this morning I just arrange the understandable sentences and statement in a questionnaire.

Unfortunately, in the afternoon, my computer gets trouble with the internet connection, so I change the computer and use the other. Actually, my fourth would like to use this one, yet I said to her that I borrow this for a while. Moreover, my first has not use his computer anymore, and playing badminton with his friend, so there are other computers that can be used. So, my fourth is willing to use the other and I still use this one :)

And, now, it's time to prepare the evening time. So...........

IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE PRIORITY

2009-07-18T11:15:00.000-07:00

Yuppps......Mom of five got messy recently!!!!

Recently I feel it so messy in my schedule. Yet, when I check and re-check again, I can not find the fraud of my schedule. Perhaps, it's due to there are so many activities that I should complete. Moreover this weeks my four kid began going to school. My first son is entering his new junior high school, my third is entering her new elementary school, and my fourth is entering her new kindergarten, while my second got her sixth grade. their school location are different, yet all of them go to school in the morning. They should go to school very early morning, because school begin on 06.10 for my first son, 06.15 for my third, 06.30 for my second, and 07.00 for my fourth. At the same time, my fifth usually has been got up also, so I should provide my extra energy and care in order that all can be completed well.

The other activities ae related to my own tasks. This week there are so many data analysis that I should complete, due to the deadline. Not only that, I should looking for the book in many various themes and topics. I also should be able to complete my writing in the end of month, in order that it can be launched on upcoming August.
So,
I should mark up my schedule and priority, and may be, I need my own time to be relax???
This weekend................
I still should complete many tasks.

WHAT IS A MOTHER

2009-04-30T01:24:00.000-07:00

What is a Mother?-

She's someone who shares
In all of your problems,
Your joys and your cares-

Someone who gives you
Right from the start
The warmth and the loves
Of her motherly heart * * *

Someone who's loyal
And helpful and dear
And seems to grow more so
As year follows year * * *

Life is much brighter
And happier, too
Because there are Mothers-
Mothers like you

- J. Kyler McManus

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG NOT UPDATE THIS BLOG

2009-03-27T09:15:00.000-07:00

Yup, it's been too long that I do not update 'my home' because I should learn more and more about anything, ......... about this life.
And this opp I find a beautiful picture that I'd like to share. Just the picture of flower in the corner of a simple house....
This picture is just a simple shot of someone ant taken place in the small village in Blitar, the Mojorejo. Perhaps this village cannot be found in the map, yet I suggest that this village is so nice to be visited and lived there, because the weather is so cool and green.....So origin....
My hubby is from this village =)

I JUST KNOW THE TWITTER

2009-02-28T17:49:00.000-08:00

Actually, I often see the loggo of twitter but I did not get interested in joining it, because I do not know about it. But then, when I join actively in Facebook, then I eager to know more about Twitter and then I join it.

Simplicity has played an important role in Twitter's success. People are eager to connect with other people and Twitter makes that simple. Twitter asks one question, "What are you doing?" Answers must be under 140 characters in length and can be sent via mobile texting, instant message, or the web. Twitter's core technology is a device agnostic message routing system with rudimentary social networking features. By accepting messages from sms, web, mobile web, instant message, or from third party API projects, Twitter makes it easy for folks to stay connected.

Twitter is a privately funded start up with offices in the SoMA neighborhood of San Francisco, CA. Started as a side project in March of 2006, Twitter has grown into a real-time short messaging service that works over multiple networks and devices. In countries all around the world, people follow the sources most relevant to them and access information via Twitter as it happens—from breaking world news to updates from friends.

KEEP THE EYES HEALTHY...

2009-02-24T07:07:00.000-08:00

Our eyes are a precious commodity, and, as such, we need to take care of them the best ways we can. One of the most common problems is eye strain. Rest our eyes regularly during periods of close work. Read and follow these other tips in order to keep our eyes healthy and in good condition:

The most important thing we can do is to have our eyes checked regularly by a professional optometrist. In this context, we neet to be sure to tell our doctor about any differences we have noticed in our sight since our last visit. By having regular eye examinations, especially the dilated eye exam, various eye diseases such as myopia, macular degeneration,glaucoma, and cataracts can be detected in their early stages of development and treatment can begin in a timely manner. If we accidentally injure one or both of your eyes, or get a foreign object in one or both of them, seek professional assistance immediately.
Eat right! Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in our daily diet. Our body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals so it can keep our eyes and vision healthy and fine. There are also many supplements on the market today which claim to have beneficial medical effects on the eyes. One such supplement is bilberry. Bilberry fruit gets its claim to fame from World War II RAF pilots. The pilots swore that if they ate bilberry jam right before they went on a flying mission, it improved their night vision! True or not, bilberry can be found at our local health food store. This is not medically proven.
Pay special attention to the prescriptions our doctor or health care professional gives us and any effects that we may notice on our vision. Contact the physician right away if we suspect that a new prescription is causing any eye problems such as blurriness, etc. Never wait to see if the problems clear up on their own.
Wear safety glasses, even if we wear prescription glasses, at all times when we are working around the house doing tasks such as hammering, sawing, sanding, cutting, etc. Wear specially-designed goggles when welding, braising, etc. Wear safety glasses even when we are working with cement, mortar, paint, etc., to help keep splashes of chemicals out of our eyes.
Purchase an effective pair of non-prescription or prescription sunglasses. Always wear sun glasses when we are outside. Our eyes need protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. And never be fooled by cloudy days either as the rays are still being emitted from the sun.

Other tips....

TEMPE: THE NAME OF THE BEAUTIFUL CITY and THE NAME OF MY FAVORITE FOOD....

2009-02-07T08:10:00.001-08:00

Tempe.......
I just think that Tempe is my my favorite food. Yet, actually I think this 'Tempe" is also the name of beautiful city in Arizona. I never known this name of city before, untill there was a visitor of my blog from this city. I smile when I read this name of city because this is like my favorite food name, TEMPE. Then I browsed via google and I find more about this city.

WOUW... RECENTLY I'M SO BUSY, SO I CAN"T OFTEN UPDATE THIS BLOG ....

2009-01-30T06:12:00.001-08:00

Yupz...recently I'm so busy because I should get involved in my hubby business. There is the management improvement, so there are many things that need to completed. More over, there are several employees that can't accomplish their job well. Commonly, they can't make job planning, so they just do what they can do today without goals or target and there is not controlling and evaluating program. The bad impact is that they can't finished their work untill the due date, so this influence the customer satisfaction and of course financial condition. This make the business get worse day after day. There are many clients deliver their complaint ....
In this case, we should make a draft of planning for them in order that they can learn and try to do it. But, I think it is not easy because this mean that it will change the habit of them. I mean, to make a change is so difficult because they never do it and they are not get used to do it. So We should be patient, when they can't complete those draft and we should encourage them to learn about anything related to their job. After this evaluation we hope that we can improve the condition.

HEAL THE WORLD

There's a place in
Your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could
Be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need
To cry

There's a love that
Cannot lie
Love is strong

Joyful giving

Start living

Loves enough for
Us growing

Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race

For the living

And the dream we were
Conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we
Once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep
Strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though its plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be gods glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all
My brothers
Create a world with
No fear
Together we cry
Happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords
Into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough
For the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying

WHERE IS MAS NUR?

2009-01-15T17:12:00.000-08:00

Today, the boy who usually take and pick up my children to school got confused and worried, because after Kak Ida called home and asked him to pick up them at school, he could not meet Mas Nur. Kak Ida was also did not know where Mas Nur is. He called home and told us about it. I called Mas Nur close friend, but he had been at home, and did not know where Mas Nur is. I guessed that he was at Warnet, because he like and get interested in blogging very much (he can sit in front of PC by hours and blogging all day long, and even all night, if I permit him doing that, but he must obey our home rules that has been agreed together). So, I asked this boy to look for him in the nearest Warnet from school. But, he did not meet Mas Nur. Then I called the school and the teacher to confirm this case. But i got nothing. After that, my hubby asked this boy to go home and take Kak Ida home at first, and then tried to look for Mas Nur.
But, a few minjute after this, Mas Nur called home and asked to be picked up. Wah...
Then.... after all had been at home, I just asked Mas Nur where he was....and in fact he went to his friend home, because the first final semester has been over, so this day they could go home early. I said that if he would like to go anywhere, he should call me and told about that, in order that we did not get worried and confused....
Hmmm...my children has been grown up ... so...
I should learn more and more about them...

She would like model her hair and her behaviour pattern like her idol. And, her social peer get increase rapidly. She, even, has got interested with her boy friend. Lol....I just lough in my heart, becaue I can feel what she feel. However, I was ever young and in this situation also hmm.... And this day, she cut her hair by herself. She cut just a little hair, very little. She asked me to allow her and asked me in order that I did not get angry due to it. I said that I would not be angry. She asked my permissions because for this time, I and my hubby prohibit her to do that. Yet, in this case, I permit her in order that she can doing her normal development...Yupz.. also, I should keep the good relationship with her, in order that she will remain safe at home and always make home as her safe nest, the most peaceful, calm, safe, and secure nest in the world, where she can learn anything about this life and how to run it well and wisely.
Then, after she cut her hair, Kak Ifa also did it by herself. She cut her hair also waow....Luckily, Kak Ifa just cut the little ones and I knew that, so I can stopped it.

HOW TO MASTER BAHASA INDONESIA?

2009-01-12T23:39:00.000-08:00

Written by Laurent de Quartz

The national Indonesian language is called bahasa Indonesia. Mastering Indonesian language is easy as one two three. Actually, bahasa Indonesia is the most easy language to learn. A tourist/visitor who stays a week in Bali , Indonesia can talk basic bahasa Indonesia fluently than someone who learns Chinese language in a month.

Although the Republic of Indonesia has many local languages like Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese; this bahasa Indonesia is used as national language. Therefore, you can talk bahasa Indonesia to other Indonesian people anywhere.

However, foreigners who learn bahasa Indonesia will notice that at different place it will be a different dialect. Sometimes this different dialect makes misunderstanding. So as foreigners, what should you do to master bahasa Indonesia?

Go to Republic of Indonesia country. Indonesia has many great Islands; you can visit one of these Islands. Open http://www.nusaland.com to know Indonesia Islands. Bali is most favorite tourist destinations. So go to Indonesia!
Before you go to Indonesia , buy an Indonesian dictionary for travelers or other Indonesian language practices book. Read and master it.
At Indonesia , try to speak in Indonesian. Talk to taxi driver, people at street, and people at hotel in Indonesian. They will reply in Indonesian. Open your dictionary if you do not understand. If you still not understand what they talk, they will translate into English, many of Indonesian can talk Basic English. Keep try to reply in Indonesian. Do not worry to make mistake. Almost Indonesian people still understand what you talking about, although you talk with wrong pronunciation or wrong grammar.
If you go to Indonesia , with family or friends, try to talk in Indonesian with them. If they reply in your mother language, keep talk in Indonesian. Ask them to reply in Indonesian too. It is better to learn Indonesian language together than learning alone.
Learn Indonesian from your local travel guide or office boy at hotel. They will teach you with pleasure.
To master vocabulary, read newspaper, Indonesian magazine, Indonesian internet news. If you do not understand, open your dictionary or open http://www.sederet.com at internet.
Listen to people speaking, watch local TV station, listen to radio broadcasts to master Indonesian pronunciation.
Keep try and try. Do not worry about mistake.

Those are eight steps to master bahasa Indonesia. The most important think is your effort to learn. More efforts to learn, faster you understand bahasa Indonesia.

BLACKBERRY AND BLUEBERRY, OR STRAWBERRY........

2009-01-12T02:54:00.001-08:00

This day I open my yahoo mail and found the mail from my hubby's colleague. This mail content is the picture of blackberry that will be inserted in the advertise column. Actually, it had been sent several days ago, before the book had not been published. And now, this book has been published and distributed in several book stores and many golf club house in East Java, and even in Batam, Lampung, and so on. For foreigner reader, we plan to translate this book into English, and we has been ever promise to the reader from Malaysia and Singapore to translate this book soon. But, we are still don't have enough time to translate this book, because we should prepare the second book about the semi autobiography of the author, and even the third book, so yeea..... we delay translating hmmm. Moreover my hubby now is still busy with the management change in his business... so...all of us get busy also, include me ....

After I crop it

Now, why the name of this product is blackberry? It make me remember the sweet blueberry and red strawberry ha.....

Health Benefit of ICE CREAM

2009-01-11T23:47:00.000-08:00

Recently, every morning Na and Kak Ifa would like to consume ice cream. This has been lasting for several days. The shopkeeper at Alfamart usually said that it is still morning, but why we buy ice cream. I just smile and said that they ask ice cream every morning. Firstly, I also wonder about their habit in consuming ice cream in the morning. Moreover, for Na, because she is still under two year. But when I saw that it is not taken the bad impact, I let them consume ice cream in the morning. Yet, I must give them breakfast at first.
Actually, not only Na and Kak Ifa who like cosuming ice cream but all of my children. I myself not consume it because I do not consume dairy product and meat, and also chicken :)
In this case I try to find the health benefit of ice cream in order that I can sure that my children consume them safely. Here I found one article about that:

Ice cream is a good source of calcium.
In general, less expensive ice cream has less fat.
Federal standards require that anything labeled ice cream must be made with a minimum of 10 percent cream, milk or butter fat.
Ice cream is not low in protein.
Usually low-fat ice cream and low-fat ices are not lower in calories.
Ice milk is about 6 percent fat and 50 percent air.
Fruit ices are about 200 calories per cup.
Low-fat frozen yogurts may be lower in fat, but they are usually higher in sugar than regular ice cream.
A half-cup serving of fat-free frozen yogurt with artificial sweetener has not more than 100 calories.
Just a sugar cone without ice cream has 60 calories, and a chocolate-dipped waffle cone has more than 200 calories.

Obese Americans now outweigh the merely overweight

2009-01-10T21:52:00.000-08:00

The number of obese American adults outweighs the number of those who are merely overweight, according to the latest statistics from the federal government. Numbers posted by the National Center for Health Statistics show that more than 34 percent of Americans are obese, compared to 32.7 percent who are overweight. It said just under 6 percent are "extremely" obese.

More than one-third of adults, or over 72 million people, were obese in 2005-2006, the NCHS said in its report. The numbers are based on a survey of 4,356 adults over the age of 20 who take part in a regular government survey of health, said the NCHS, which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The figures come from the 2005-2006 survey and are the most current available.

"During the physical examination, conducted in mobile examination centers, height and weight were measured as part of a more comprehensive set of body measurements," the NCHS report said. "Although the prevalence of obesity has more than doubled since 1980, the prevalence of overweight has remained stable over the same time period," it said.

Obesity and overweight are calculated using a formula called body mass index. BMI is equal to weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Someone with a BMI of 25 to 29 is classified as overweight, 30 to 40 counts as obese and people with BMIs of 40 or more are morbidly obese. A person 5 feet 5 inches tall becomes overweight at 150 pounds (68 kg) and obese at 180 pounds (82 kg). The U.S. National Institutes of Health has an online BMI calculator at www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/.

In the 1988-1994 surveys, 33 percent of Americans were overweight, 22.9 percent were obese and 2.9 percent were morbidly obese. The numbers have edged up steadily since. Being overweight or obese raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, arthritis and other conditions.

In May, the CDC reported that 32 percent of U.S. children fit the definition of being overweight, 16 percent were obese and 11 percent were extremely obese. Childhood and adult obesity has emerged as a growing problem not only in the United States but also in many countries around the world.

When Na is Crying

2009-01-06T03:36:00.000-08:00

Na get crying and I do not know the exactly reasons. She will get fussy for a long day and even all the night. This made me can not do anything and her brother and sisters should do and prepare their needs by themselves. Include my hubby. Yet, usually I will carry her and hug her, hold her lovingly and allow her to continue crying. I believe that she need closeness and attention when she is crying. By this way, usually she got comfort by degree, and then she will get better more and more.
When facing this trouble, usually I also try to know the reasons and about what exactly happen, because I believe that babies communicate their distress or discomfort by crying. Perhaps, he get hungry, pain, or others discomfortness. So, even though it can be deeply stressful for me but I always try to think cool down and wisely. My hubby usually protest me and say that this because I always hold and pampered her. Even, he prohibited me to hold her when he is crying. He said that it is ineffective way.
But, in reality, by holding her, I am providing her with much-needed emotional support while she is releasing stress in this manner. Na is not rejecting me when she is crying. She is simply feeling safe enough to show her feelings. Yupz.... parents who hold their babies and allow them to express themselves in this manner usually notice that their babies are relaxed and content after the crying spell, and sleep better at night.

FIRST SEMESTER FINAL TEST

2009-01-05T02:39:00.001-08:00

Today, Kak Ida and Mas Nur get their first semester final test (UAS -- ujian akhir semester). Usually it will get nearly two weeks because there are many kinds of lessons in which are tested. I know and understand that this will take their time and thought to learn all about their lessons, because their lesson are doubled. It is not like in state school which just has several (seven or eight kind of lessons). In their school has about more than 14 kind of lesson, that is religion (such as Aqidah Akhlaq, Al Qur'an Hadits, Tarikh, Arabic, etc) and common knowledge (such as Math, Natural Science, Social Science, English, Computer, etc). So, they should prepare their stamina and their brain well. But, for this time being, they have been already preparing by resuming all kind of their lessons in their little blog. So, this will help them in reminding all kind of their lessons :). I just can say that I proud of them, because they can stand in this kind of pressure (They should get up in very early morning . And this very early morning I pray for them, and I believe very much that Allah will bless them always.....
