Oh my lovely Coldplay

Coldplay is my most fave band. I love their songs at all. I love their music. I love their performance. The more i listen to them, the more i love them and the more they grows on me. Listening to coldplay makes me fly into a lonely, calm and comfortable place. I always imagine asif i were in a long journey in a lonely and straight street by a car. Listening to coldplay makes me calm and i always enjoy that listening time.

Loving to Coldplay was such a coincidence. I bought their cassette accidentally when i was still on first year at Senior High School. At that time, i only knew one song titled IN MY PLACE. Than i played its cassette, and once i listened to it, i felt their songs were a bit strange. But when i replied its twice, i really fell in love with them. I listened to their whole songs all day long. And as i said above, “The more i listen to them, The more they grows on me“.

And you know what, “Yellow” which is Coldplay’s song,, is our love song, Me and Mas Wildan. Because we both love it so much. It has a very romantic lyrics. And after all, he calls me with “Yellow“. Yes, i am “Your Yellow“, mas.

I love the Britpop music such as Coldplay. One more thing about Coldplay is when i did my last jobtest that now i’m working in, they (the recruitment’s committee) played Coldplay for me since we all were waiting for our turn. They played coldplay’s album titled “A rush of the blood to the head“. Oh,, thanks god,, that’s Coldplay. I love it much. And automatically it increased my mood and my spirit with the result i passed my jobtest and i got a job. Alhamdulillah.

Oh my lovely coldplay, you’ve created alot of memories in to me. Keep on working and keep on singing Coldplay. You have a faithful listener, is like me. And i love you till the end. I will never stop listening to your songs.

Miss my memorable Bandung

Hearing a word “Bandung” drowns me into a place i used to live for almost 4 years. A million and even a billion memories i had in Bandung. Sweet, bitter memories exactly. I used to study in Bandung for 3,5 years for achieving my Bachelor Degree in Informatics Engineering at IT Telkom. I used to rent a room for my living place as long as i studied. I have many nice housemates. They are kak yeni, mb uti, mb nunk, widya, mb pinyo’, rhinta, ima. We used to share each other. The stories, foods, and knowledge. I regarded them not only as friends anymore, but i regarded them as my family. Because we had no family in Bandung. Giggling, studying, eating, crying, and living together make us closer each day. Yah,, but now we live in different place. We have different activities, different works. Here’s our photo when we had a avacation to Bogor on 2007.

 

Ochie, kak yen, ononk, mb nunk

At that time on 2007, i hadn’t worn jilbab. Those moments are so memorable. I miss this moment so much. Through living and studying alone in Bandung, makes me be a tough, mature, and wise person. I know life is not how to live, but also how to interact with otherpeople.

This picture above was my room in Bandung. I lived in there for almost 4 years. This is the place where i used to laugh, cry, study, eat, watch, sleep and pray. This room knew me the most i think. When i was happy or i was sad. Now i’m missing it. Yeah, this place is my temporary place. Not forever.

One more thing makes me miss Bandung is spending weekend with him. We used to kill our weekend time in Bandung. At that time, he has worked in Jakarta but i was still a college student in Bandung. twice a month he came to visit me at Bandung. So we were at Long Distance Relationship. There are so many our memorable places in Bandung. From south Bandung to North Bandung. From campus, malls, restaurants, Masjids, Shops, Bakery, Traditional Market, Sidewalk vendors, and so many more. I really miss that moments. Alhamdulillah now we are not at LDR anymore because now we live and work in the same city called Jakarta.

And through it all, i miss the whole parts of Bandung.

Calculating our Body Mass Index (BMI) and Ideal Weight

I just blog-walked there , and i read a post about how to calculate the ideal weight for people. It’s important i think especially for women. For further information please click this link tanya dokter. It calls Body Mass Index (BMI) . Here’s the formula:

BMI = Weight (kg) / ( Height * Height )

Ps:    Weight in Kilograms

Height in Meters

And here’s the BMI’s Explanation:

The Explanation of BMI's result taken from tanyadokter.com

My BMI is : 48/ (1.61 * 1.61) = 18.51780409

and Alhamdulillah my BMI includes to Normal. But for knowing how normal my BMI is, there’s a formula.

A = Height (Centimeter) – 100

B = A – (10% * A) kilograms

B is our ideal weight. Let’s see the calculation of mine:

A = 161 – 100 = 61

B = 61 – (10% * 61) = 54.9

My ideal weight is 54.9 Kg but actually my weight is 48 Kg (Alhamdulillah). Because the most important one is keep being health by eating healthy foods, doing sports, eating more fruits and vegetables,  drinking more mineral water, not smoking, and live a healthy life. So let’s calculate your BMI and your ideal weight, friends!

Honey, not only sweet but also useful!

Several days ago i had my tonsillitis relapsed. It was so painful. I did so many ways to recover it. Started from brewed “Daun Lidah Ular” and then i drank it, took a medicine, and many other ways, but it all had no result. I still had this pain. Uhh,, it tortured me so much.

But then i thought what my mother ever said to me, “please take and eat honey if you wanna always keep your stamina fit. Not only for guarding your stamina but honey can be used as a medicine. Honey is medicines all medicines.”. Then i took honey and eat it as soon as possible. I had to use Pure Honey. Because it’s more natural for its huge special quality. The way i used honey as my tonsilitis’ medicine is : i took 3 spoons of honey, put it all on a glass, then i added hot water just a quarter of the glass, after that i read Shalawat 7 times for The Prophet Nabi Muhammad saw, then lasted by reading Bismillah. I drank honey twice a day.

And Alhamdulillah the more i drank this honey, the more my tonsillitis is decreased. Now i feel much better. The pain disappears. So Honey can be used as a medicine for the whole diseases.

The view of Braga (Bandung) = Kesawan (Medan)?

Yes,, for Medan’s people including me, when the first time came to Braga (Bandung), must be surprised by its views. Because, my city (Medan.red) also has this view like Braga. This place is called Kesawan. Kesawan is the name of area located in Ahmad Yani street, subdistrict of West Medan, Medan, Indonesia. This area is filled with the ancient and historical buildings. Kesawan is the oldest area in Medan. Braga is like Kesawan, also filled with the ancient buildings.

Braga (Bandung) usually became a heaven for the people who love photography. Braga is not rarely used as an area for the pre-wedding photo. I myself have ever been captured by camera at Braga. My pictures were taken by Mas Wildan. I named the pictures “Braga at Night”. And after looked those pictures, i’ve proven that Braga actually the best area for photography. Because of its ancient buildings has its special uniqueness that steal a heart of the photography’s lovers. Kesawan does too. People usually take the photograph at Kesawan too. It has because of its special uniqueness of the ancient buildings, so does Braga.

Based on the picture or the experience of you who have visited both of those places, do Braga and Kesawan have the same view???

Life actually needs a giant struggle

For somepeople maybe what i’ve got now looks easy without any obstacles. But actually people don’t know how hard i made every endevor to get it all. It all was not so easy. even it’s harder that i imagined before. I never thought that i could do it all before.

Started when i was as a jobseeker. Getting a great job is so difficult at this time when many terrible problems bear down upon this country. It happened to me too. I knew how hard life in Jakarta was. I used to take the public transportation for joining the tests. Eventhought i barely knew jakarta for 3 weeks, but i had to do that all. It’s not just how uncomfortable or how unhygienic or how crowded. It’s more of a safety issue. We all have known about the bad safety in Jakarta. My first time ever when i took train, busway, kopaja, metro mini as my transportation,, i was so afraid. I was stood guard of my handbag preventing my mobile, my purse, and my other valuable things from the robber. Like my uncle said, “hati-hati. Klo ada orang yg ngajak ngobrol oci diem aja.. Pura2 sakit gigi.. Klo ada orang yg nanyain jam,, jg diem aja, hahaha “. But now, i’m getting used to take it all for my transportation. The important one is always keep standing guard.

As i was a jobseeker, i have got failure in getting a job too. So many times i failed, but the failure makes me waxed enthusiastic for getting a better job. I kept believing that all drudge work has never been useless. The success keys are keep on struggling, keep on praying, keep being patient, and God do the rest. I’m so sure that God will always reward our drudge work if we’ve never given up.

Alhamdulillah i have a great job now. Actually God knows the best for me but i don’t, and God rewards all my struggle, my drudge work, and my tears. All the waiting is so worthwhile. Alhamdulillah. And it all i get with sweat, tears, and even blood. Everything must has its time, and needs a process in order that we know how important drudge work and struggle are, how to always be grateful, how hard life is. Through it all, we are so satisfied to everything we get with our struggle.

This post i wrote for being your inspiration to keep on struggling and not to give up to reach your dreams. I hope this post is useful for you all. Spirit!

My Best Politician

If i ask you,, who’s your best politician? it sounds that we all have a different answer. For me, my best politician is Bapak Jusuf Kalla.

i used to not take care about him. But, I started to adore him since the President’s election yet. He campaigned amazingly. He opened up all the secret of the Politic of Indonesia. Actually, he worked more than he showed up. A Syafii’ Ma’arif said that actually he’s the real president. Kwik Kian Gie said that he knows how to solve the problem quickly and perfectly. He’s a very adroit, smart, humble, and he’s such a quick-thinker. I adore him so much. I think when he registered himself to the election as a president candidate, he didn’t think to enrich himself. He didn’t search for money anymore and he’s not materialistic. Because he has been rich before. He’s a great entrepeneur. Although he failed to be a president, but for me, he’s still the best.Everthing that he ever said before is true. Yeah, maybe this’s the best for you Pak JK . He now can enjoy his old age without thinking of this Terrible Indonesia’s Problems. When he put his duty off as a vice president of Indonesia, he thanked so much to the “Paspampres” and he plans to write a book titled “5 Tahun tanpa macet”, dedicated to his “Paspampres”. Because for 5 years, he was be freed of the traffic jam. Waw, amazingly, how humble he is.

Anyway, last saturday when i with Mas Wildan went to Gramedia PIM, i saw his book titled “ Mereka bicara JK ” . And i fell in love at first sight with this book.

But this book costs expensive. I was be amazed by its book. Read all they all said about JK, makes me adores him more and more. For me, JK is my best statesman.

Live without social networking

It has been 8 months since i’ve deleted my account on social networking; Facebook and Friendster. I feel more comfortable now, no one could disturb my life. My privacy is guarded. I know the social networking like that might have 2 sides. Good sides and also bad sides.

The good sides:

1. we can easily get the latest news from our friends.

2. we can communicate with our friends easily and cheaply too for sure.

3. we can reunite with our Elementary, Junior High school, Senior High School, and college’s mates.

4. we can inform and invite our friends easily if we have an event like wedding, birthday’s party and many more.

But beside on the good sides, it has a bad sides too:

1. The social networking can makes a problem.

2. It can makes we remind to our past.

3. Eveyone knows our privacy, our life, and etc.

4. It makes aseriously addicted to it. Always waste our time for seeing its page. That’s so disgusting.

5. Spending alot of money for paying our mobile billing.

and then,, after i thought and considered for manytimes, i myself decided to delete my social networking. For me the social networking has more bad sides than its good sides. And i myself have proven that live without social networking is much more comfortable. For me there’s no problem if i wanna communicate with my friends, i can call or send them a SMS and there’re many ways. I can still keep contact with my friend and my family now even without social networking. And now,, i live comfortably without it. Trust me. I’ve proven it
