Hero in Our Point of View

Few weeks ago I just read a colloumn on one of national newspaper. The topic is Hero. I don't want to re-write what is the author's idea. But one thing I want to underlined is, a Hero in our eyes is not always a hero in the other eyes.

Robinhood for example, he is a great hero for unwealhty people in Great Britain, but he is only a thief that have to be catch on rich people's eyes.

In indonesia, Si Pitung, Sultan Hasanuddin, I Gusti Ktut Jelantik is famous as National Heroes during dutch ocuppation, (Dutch=Netherland was occupy Indonesia for 350 years, imagine how much wealth they took from this land) but for dutch agressor, they're only rats that have to be slayed.

Ahn Jung Hwan is Korea's hero when their football team defeats Italy in 2002 World Cup. But for italiano's he is a bastard which is have to be kicked out from Perugia and Italian serie A.

So, be wise and be carefull!
What's have you done? What is the proper name for you?

A Hero or just a jack ass!!

Natural Solutions For Frequent Colds

Some Possible Causes Might Be

1. Poor dietary habits which create a toxic build-up in the body.
2. A lack of proper nutrients.
3. Weakness in the immune system.
4. Emotional problems which suppress the bodyÕs defense.
5. Over use of antibiotics.
6. Viruses - Bacteria.

EFFECTIVE NATURAL SOLUTIONS
When First Symptoms Appear

1. Vitamins - Immediately take plenty of vitamin C. You can take about a total of 3000 mg a day in small doses Ð say 200 mg at a time, which would mean 15 tablets a day.
Zinc is also a good immune enhancer. From 20 to 40 mg of Zinc can be taken daily until the cold subsides.
It is better to take both of these in tablet form so that you can suck on them and dissolve them in the mouth. In this way, the active power of these two substances can be absorbed by the cells of the mouth and throat area and thus strengthening the power of the cells to protect themselves.

2. Immediately cleanse the nostrils and gargle with salt. If the cold continues after the first day, then discontinue the washing of the nostrils but continue 3 or more times a day gargling with salt or lemon water.

3. Avoid eating solid food, especially cheese, milk and all dairy products, as well as white flour, white sugar and any products made from them. They form excess mucus, which increases the symptoms of the cold.

4. Drink plenty of liquids especially fresh citric fruit juices: oranges, lemons, grapefruits, as well as herb teas, and vegetable broth.

5. If you feel very hungry and must eat, then the best food would be a raw salad or a hot, spicy soup. A very effective soup is onion soup made from onions, garlic, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and other spices. (Not if you have ulcers.)

6. For those who are familiar with stomach cleansing with slightly saltly water, this is very effective for removing accumulated mucus from the body. (Not if you have an ulcer).

7. An enema is also effective in helping the body purify itself of accumulated toxins.

8. Get plenty of rest and do plenty of deep relaxation. Also perform any exercises you feel up to doing. They will facilitate the renewal of the bodyÕs vital energies and thus its ability to heal itself.

9. Keep your body warm and protected from drafts.

10. Shiatsu massage of the neck and head can be miraculously relieving and beneficial. (Reflexology can be used to free up the sinuses).

If the Cold Continues

11. Continue with the vitamins taking up to 3000 mg of C. and up to 30 mg of Zinc per day until the symptoms disappear. If the cold lasts more than a week, then you might want to check with a doctor as to why your body is not healing itself. Other antioxidants such as vitamins E, A and Selenium and various enzymes such as Super Dioxide Dismutase call also be very useful.

12. Continue to avoid solid food as much as possible. Drink plenty of juices and broths. If you feel very hungry, eat raw salad or hot spicy soup.

13. Take occasional hot baths (covering yourself well afterwards).

14. Slow deep breathing will re-energize your body. Breathe as slowly as you can, letting as little air as possible pass through the nostrils. Gradually they will open up.

15. Do not continue with the cleaning of the nostrils, but do continue with frequent gargling.

16. Gentle exercises can open up the nostrils and also the flow of energy in the body.

17. Use deep relaxation to imagine the bodyÕs defense system healthy and powerful and invincible.

18. Be happy and relaxed.

Solve Your Back Pain

The answer to a healthy back is appropriate exercise. The problems associated with back pain can be minimized with exercises. It is widely known that regular exercises will improve the appearance and health in general, but very few realize the benefits that good physical conditioning can have on their back pain.

The benefit of exercises for the back depends on the following three key principles:

To attain satisfactory aerobic fitness.
To focus part of the exercising on the muscle groups that supports the back.
To avoid exercises that cause heavy stresses on the back

The right kind of exercise program helps in keeping the back pain under control and can make it easier to continue doing the daily chores. A break from vigorous exercise can be taken if the pain becomes worse. A Doctor or physiotherapist can be consulted before starting an exercise program for deciding on the type of exercises that can be done to relieve back pain and to stay fit.

Warm up is important before exercise and deep inhaling has to be repeated before each exercise. Regular exercise helps a lot and if it is skipped for a day, unavoidably walking can compensate it, to some extent.

Exercises to strengthen the back and hip muscles:

Wall slides exercise helps to strengthen the back and hip muscles. Leg muscles also get relieved. By standing against a wall on the back, try to slide down with knees bent. The bend should be 90 degrees and count till 5. Then come back to standing posture. This has to be continued for five times.

Raising the leg also helps in strengthening back and hip muscles. Lay down on the stomach. Try to tighten the muscles of a leg and bring it up. Count till 10 and bring it down. Continue this for 5 times each for both the legs.

Sitting up partially strengthens the abdomen muscles. Lie on the back and keep the knees bent. Raise the head and shoulder above the floor and try to reach the knees with hands. Leg rising also benefits stomach and hip muscles.

Exercises to minimize the back pain:

An aerobic conditioning program for 30 minutes, thrice a week is ideal for overall fitness. Recommended aerobic exercise includes Bicycling, swimming and brisk walking. Aggravation of low back pain can happen if step aerobics and exercises like jumping and running are practiced. Aerobic exercises make the heart and other muscles consume oxygen more efficiently.

Swinging back legs could strengthen the muscles of hip and back. Stand in the back of a chair and raise a leg up and down without bending the knee. Repeat this for each leg.
Posture training for sitting, standing, sleeping and even during motion is needed if posture is a factor. The type of shoes viz. High Heels that are worn can also affect the posture by adding more stress on the lower back by changing the posture.

Stretching exercises can be done for keeping the muscles flexible and less prone to injury.

Physical therapy: There are different forms of physical therapy viz. Passive Physical therapy and Active Physical therapy. Passive physical therapy includes Heat/Ice packs, TENS units and Iontophoresis. Active Physical therapy is the exercises like Stretching for back pain exercise, Low-impact aerobic conditioning and strengthening for back pain exercise.

While there are merits if a pattern of good conditioning is followed the wrong type of exercise may actually worsen the low back pain. Activities that pass on too much stress on the back like lifting heavy weights, jumping, running, step aerobics and climbing are not advised. Slow Cycling on a recumbent stationary bike can also relieve back stress. To sum up, exercise will decrease the severity and frequency of lower back pain and can be prevented when a comprehensive exercise program is followed.

Keep Healthy

Your health is undoubtedly your most valuable asset. So with that in mind how do you protect your health ?

Yes you probably have health insurance to look after your health if you become ill and car insurance to take car of you should your health suffer as a result of a car accident. But isn't that paying someone else to look after your health after things go wrong ? A bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted ? What are you doing, or, what should you be doing to look after your health right now ?

Do you get regular health check ups ? Do you exercise & eat all the right foods that are beneficial to your health ? Do you use health care products such as health supplements ? Do you smoke, drink or take drugs ? Are you aware of how these habits affect your health ?

I'm willing to bet that you make darn sure you look after your children's health, making sure that they are not doing anything that is going to cause long term damage to their health ? But who is watching your health ? Who's making sure you are not doing anything to damage your health ?

Health is probably something we all take for granted & only realise how important our health is when we are ill or someone close to us is suffering from ill health. However if we all do nothing in regard to our health now, waiting until we begin to suffer from ill health & then trying to do something about it may be too late as we may have already done irreparable damage to our health. If you could do something now to prevent one of your assets diminishing, such as your bank balance, your home or your car would you ? Yes of course you would, so what about your most valuable asset, your health ?

Well it's about time that someone took control of your health, and that someone is you ! Take control of your health now and make sure that valuable asset, your health, is well and truly looked after. Here are some suggestions that might help you to look after your health:

1. Get regular health check ups. If you have a good health insurance these are probably insisted upon. After all we all give our cars regular "health" checks, isn't our health more important than the health of our vehicles?
2. Make sure you eat a healthy diet. Even if you don't need to loose weight the right diet can help to improve your health.
3. Take regular exercise. 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week, even if it's just a couple of 15 minute strolls, that's not to great a chore to protect a valuable asset - your health.
4. If you smoke, stop now ! This is probably the best thing you can and ever will do for the sake of your health.
5. Cut down on your alcohol intake. Stick to the recommended guidelines for sensible drinking - for your health's sake.

NGEBLOG LAGI DI BLOGSPOT, RAINS OF BUITENZORG

Mata masih berat buat dibuka nih. Maklum semaleman begadang ngoprek blog ini.
My eyes still so heavy to open. I'm still not yet sleeping until now, keep playing with this blog.

Orang baru mas..., jadi walaupun udah ngoprek semaleman, tetep aja ini blog ga ada bagus-bagusnya.
A newbie guys..., so even keeping awake since last night, this blog is still far away from perfect.

Sebenarnya semalem aku ngoprek gimana caranya masukkin video youtube ke blog ini, cukup satu video,
Actually, since last night I'm trying to make youtube video available on my blog. but only one video,

tanpa yang lain ikut-ikutan. Abisnya video udah masuk dari 2 hari yang lalu,
without the uninvited come along. The youtube video is already available on my blog since 2 days ago,

tapi berikut mbah-mbahnya. Satu paket gitu. Padahal aku pengennya satu video aja.
but including it's grandparents. On one package. I just need one video inside!

Pusing juga mainin HTML ya.. harus berguru sama Kang Rohman nih kayaknya.
Ouw, it is confusing playing with HTML isn't it?.. It seems should be learn from Kang Rohman.

Bisa semaleman lagi nih kalo caranya begini.
surely it will be another one night long awake.

Bang dhika juga ga muncul-muncul. Biasanya suka kesini buat sekadar ngobrol & tukar pikiran.
Bang dhika also dissappear last few days. He often come along, even just for little talk and little bit brain storming before.

Sekalian mo nanyain gimana caranya, gitu.
So, I can ask him how to create it.

Lebih baik terus mencoba, sambil nunggu dia datang.
I'd better keep trying while waiting for he's coming.

JUST READ IT

Wrrrrahhhh, ehmmm.. It's been so long since the last time I posted my opinion on this blog.. more than two weeks..

Actually I want to update this blog everyday, no, no, not everyday, even every hours. But, tired and lazyness always coming by every time I see the screen and the buttons of my computer.

"NO NOT AGAIN!! you already see me and touching me this whole day in the office. Are you not tired enough to continue seeing me after work hours. Where is your human's sense. You can't lie that you miss the pillow. I can see from your eyes. Come on man, It's the time to relax now."

Those above words is always annoying me when I want to start typing. Maybe those whisper is correct, after a whole day keeping my eyes to the screen, face to face, I deserve to get rest when I back home. Not another damn screen!!

But I don't have anything to touch beside this damned button and screen.

Oh lord, thank you for the beautiful life you'd give to me, My whole live's pray would never enough to be compared. But please give me one more, only one more, somebody to touch, somebody to share. And one more ..., and the other one..., and another...

I'm sorry Lord, I can't stop greedy. I lie when I say only need one more.
Please forgive me. Another forgive like you always do before, please keep smile to me, keep blessing me & keep this beautiful life surrounding me...

Oh no, I still facing this screen...... I can't believe it! Where is my beautiful life I just imagine. Where is the pretty face.. Why all is becoming unstructured characters.. Like chinese and indian and thai's and japan characters..

Confusing !!!

WE LOST OUR BEST HERO

Two days ago January 27, 2008. Our nations is loosing one of it best son. Pass away on 13.10 PM our former president Mr. Soeharto, is left us a big, beauty and prospherity country. Indonesia.. Thank you for all you did for Indonesia sir. Good By

INDONESIA BERDUKA

Indonesia baru saja kehilangan salah satu putra terbaiknya. Mantan Presiden kedua, Bapak HM. Soeharto. Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa selama masa kepemimpinan Pak Harto, pembangunan di negara kita ini maju dengan sangat pesat. Kondisi perpolitikan dan keamanan juga cukup stabil.
Terlepas dari kontroversi kasus Kolusi, Korupsi dan Nepotisme yang saat ini dituduhkan kepada Pak Harto, yang masih harus dibuktikan kebenarannya, saya adalah salah seorang pengagum beliau. Saya memang belum lahir ketika Presiden pertama kita Ir. Soekarno (sang presiden yang menurut buku sejarah yang saya baca, diangkat jadi presiden seumur hidup) memerintah. Jadi saya tidak bisa membandingkan bagaimana pemerintahan semasa beliau menjadi presiden dengan presiden-presiden kita berikutnya. Mungkin ini juga salah satu alasan mengapa saya tidak mengidolakan Pak Karno seperti kebanyakan orang lain, disamping faktor faktor yang lain. Yang jelas-jelas bisa saya lihat, alami dan rasakan adalah masa pemerintahan Pak Harto dan masa pemerintahan presiden-presiden kita selanjutnya sampai sekarang ini.

Kalau hasil kerja para presiden kita selepas Pak Harto lengser itu saya jadikan tolok ukur, mungkin inilah alasannya mengapa saya sangat mengagumi Pak Harto, berlawanan dengan pendapat banyak orang yang cenderung menempatkan Pak Harto sebagai number one public enemy saat ini. Mohon maaf apabila banyak orang tersinggung akibat pengidolaan saya ini. Tapi kembali saya ingatkan, bahwa saat ini kan kita sudah berada dalam alam demokrasi, dimana orang bebas mengekspresikan pendapatnya. Bebas tho nulis apa aja... Lha wong blog ini blog punya saya sendiri kok. Kalo gak seneng, ya jangan baca. Anda juga bebas punya idola siapa saja, mau Soekarno, Habibie, Gus Dur, Mega atau SBY. Atau siapa saja... Bang Soleh si tukang sayur tetangga saya juga boleh... Jangan salah, kedatangannya tiap pagi sangat dinantikan oleh ibu-ibu di lingkungan saya tinggal... Kalo nggak mau mengidolakan dia juga nggak apa apa, toh sudah ada yang mengidolakan dia, paling nggak istri dan anak-anaknya.

Kembali ke Laptop!! (tolong sampeyan bacanya dimirip miripin sama Thukul, biar lebih seru). Kalo inget masa saya kecil dulu, uang 500 rupiah saja sudah dapat macam-macam jajanan. Lha kalo sekarang cuma dapat sepotong gorengan cap pinggir jalan. Tahun 96 saya lulus SMA, uang 3 juta udah dapat sebuah motor baru. Sekarang juga sama 3 juta, tapi depannya ditambah angka 1, alias 13 juta. Kuenceeeeng banget inflasinya..

Dikampung-kampung juga kalo kita tanyakan ke orang, (Sorry nanyanya cuma ke orang-orang kampung. Abis saya memang orang kampung. Tulisan & pikiran saya pun kampungan khan!) Lebih enak mana hidup di jaman Pak Harto jadi presiden apa jaman sekarang ini. Pasti jawabannya...... tebak aja sendiri..

Akhirulkalam, mari sama-sama kita doakan agar arwah beliau diterima disisiNya. Terima kasih atas semua yang telah kau berikan bagi negeri ini Pak. Jasamu sungguh tiada tara....
