Let's Leave Your Disgraceful Obesity, and Try to Become Vegetarian

Two years ago, I was a junior in my college. At the time, as a junior I was obligated to participate in a particular activity like a camping program. I, my friends, some seniors and lecturers went to a place which was really cold. We had to sleep in a tent complete with the really cold weather that accompanied our sleep. The next morning, we had to wake up early. The seniors who lead our activity said that we were going to do some exercises. But, they lead us to the particular place which was more cold and higher. Suddenly, when we did not come to the place yet, one of my friends with obesity fell unexpectedly and had a fit. Everybody was shock and tried to help him. But, he did not wake up for one hour. Finally, he was taken to the nearest hospital by some seniors and lecturers. Some hours later, we got bad news from the hospital. He, my friend died. The doctor who did the examination to my friend said that his death was caused by the obesity.

That story can be experienced by other people with obesity. A simple activity can cause a dangerous effect for them. Being vegetarian could train them to recover from the obesity. It is one of reasons why being vegetarian is one of the easier remedies that people must to do to overcome the problem with obesity.

People with obesity are easy to get hard disease like diabetes, stroke, hyper tense, heart disease, and cancer. By being vegetarian, they can avoid all of those diseases. They will have a special and new life style. As a vegetarian they need to drink much mineral water to clean inside their bodies. For the first example, when they already wake up in the morning, they have to drink a glass of mineral water. It has a function to push the leftovers from a meal to be taken out by digestion system. After that, their stomachs will be clean from all of poison or disease that caused by the leftovers from a meal.

Then, being vegetarian helps people with obesity to control the foods they will be eaten. When the meal time comes, people with obesity will consume all of boiled foods. If they really want to be the vegetarians, they have to avoid greasy foods. For breakfast, they are permitted to eat full meal. But they may not eat all of they want for breakfast. They are permitted to eat rice only with boiled fish. Boiled broccoli is also good to complete their breakfast menu. And they have to drink a glass of mineral water after they finish the meal. For people with obesity, this way has a function to save full energy in the morning in order it can be used for the activities in the afternoon.

After that, people with obesity will be trained to less consuming the foods which have too much oil. When the lunch time comes, the vegetarians have to add more protein and vegetables in their boiled foods. Besides that, they also have to less the rice a third. It has a function to keep more protein for their bodies. In the dinner time, the vegetarian may not eat rice at all. They only have to eat protein, vegetables, and fruits. Because, consuming rice in the night will improve their weight. That is why people with obesity cannot recover themselves with this problem.

Next, by being vegetarians, people with obesity also will be trained to do new activity like sport. As a vegetarian, they need to choose a unique and beneficial sport to help them to be healthier. The sport they need to choose is yoga. Actually the movements in yoga which are really slow and soft have function to accelerate the circulation of blood. It also trains people with obesity to practice balancing movements. It is useful for them who have difficulties in balancing their bodies. If they cannot do many kinds of sports with high risks, like swimming, running, jogging, foot ball, and many more, they can practice yoga. Yoga also has a function to help people with obesity to stay young.

Finally, people with obesity need to have a will to be healthy. One of the easier remedies that they must to do to overcome the problem with obesity is being vegetarian.

3 Steps to Achieve a Quality Essay

The definition of an essay is an essay that tells a story in juridical validity or truth about the meaning, function, and the quality of writing of the story itself. Where an essay should really have a message or contains a meaning that can be taken by the reader. An essay is the result of the totality answer of the story. Essays are written by the story line exposure. Essay must be an essay-quality story. There are 3 steps to make a quality essay.

First, the idea to create an essay must be completely equipped and directed. We have to figure out the source of the information, based on what background so it can supported us to established an ideas to make a quality essay. Process these ideas to become an essay that has a character or moral message inside it.

Second, the starting of the process of making an essay from the ideas that we got from the earliest steps. The idea that originated from a raw idea until it becomes an idea that is ready to create a complete quality essay. After we established the plot, the collected ideas has to be described one by one, and summarized into a storyline, so that we can poured the material that contained with ideas into the essay.

Third, the essays that have been completed have to be double checked for the last time. Pay attention again from the beginning until the end of the sheets, explained, re-read to avoid errors in the plot and process words in an essay. Review again to avoid a mismatch with the idea that had been prepared to be served as a complete essay.

The references were very necessary, important. So that from the collection of references from a variety of information it can produced and create an essay that has character and a good message inside it.

Premarital Sex

Premarital sex has been a major problem in a circle of students under 20 years old and has caused serious illness and many detriments for the girls. This apprehensive problem has to be prevented from now before it happens to our children.

Based on the survey of The Health of Indonesian Youth Reproduction (SKRRI) in 2003, 30.9% boys and 34.7% girls in the age between 15 until 19 years state that they have ever had sex with their mates. This fact does not include the other students or teenagers who are not involved in the survey or noted in the data, so the real number of premarital sex victim must be more than the percentage.

This year, 2010, we can make a logical assumption that the growth of this problem has increased slowly for the way Indonesian youth socialize and see things is not anymore based on the cultural value of their ancestor but the western culture. It is reflected from the dress or clothing style they wear which is more vulgar, especially girls, and the habit of enjoying night life which is identical with negative freedom.

Actually the choice of being a member of Moon Community, the name for people who enjoy night life the most, cannot be judged as a wrong choice, but in this case, Moon Community is not fit for the unstable emotion of youth under 20 years old who usually have not been able to filter which one is allowed and which one is not.
When teenagers have begun to think by using the mind of western, they must consider sex as only a small part of glamorous lifestyle so the possibility for them to suffer from Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and do the abortion is getting more obvious.

One of the surprising fact happened in Bandung Indonesia in April 2010. The researchers from The Community of HIV-AIDS Care Indonesia found that 120 students in Gondanglegi do the premarital sex with more than one mates so their vital condition is very susceptible to be infected by AIDS.

Seeing the spread of premarital sex has reached even a small sub district, as parents we have to be more concern of every change of our children, whether it is a progress or a regress, especially we live in Jakarta, the big city which is full of risky things.

Being suspicious is now very needed because these days teenagers are often smarter than their parents in hiding mistakes they have done or something they do secretly, so we better check everything from them. To be more natural, we can start to have a talk with them and discuss about everything freely so they will feel comfortable to share things they would like to say in the next time. That way, it will be easier for us to know the changes of our children.

Not only checking, we must also participate in informing them the right knowledge about sex and AIDS. Do not let our children search information from the internet without any guard. It is important because the participation of parents in socializing them to children is very worth because usually parents’ explanation psychologically is easier to remember and children tend to obey it more. Besides, the explanation on the internet is often wrong or unclear, so our participation can also avoid misunderstanding.

This effort must really be done by all parents who care to their children because there is only 1% parents in Indonesia who tell their children about sex and AIDS education and the rest is the percentage of teenagers who try to find out information from the internet. This data represents the lack of communication in family and there is no result indicates that this fact is not a problem.

Moreover, premarital sex can also cause abortion. Because the prime risk or impact of abortion is not death, like AIDS, its practice is sometimes considered as a simple thing by several people, whereas, their disobedience to the danger of abortion will lead them to death.

World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that there are 4, 2 million practices of abortion per year in the world and about 1, 5 million ones are practiced in Indonesia while 2.500 of the entire number are dead because of the mistakes of doing abortion.

And the last thing which is also very important to remember is the fate of female students or teenagers who become the victim of premarital sex. In this case, women have always been the ones who are going to be the worst victim of doing premarital sex. Men can avoid admitting that they are not virgin anymore but women cannot. We can imagine if our daughters who should have a bright future have to stop dreaming of a good prince who will be their future husband because they lost their virginity.

It is true that nowadays men consider virginity as the main thing a woman must have in order to be their wife. It is sometimes very ironic actually because it is men who cause women to lost their virginity or at least some of them have ever decided to have sex but they arrogantly have that unfair requirement later after they do not have any relationship with their ex mates.

Facing those truths, as parents we must start from now to keep our children very well and avoid them from the causes that can make them victims of premarital sex. Let our daughters and sons know that everything will be beautiful in the right time.

If Not Us, More Who?

Indonesia has abundant natural resources and creative human resources. As the Indonesian, we have to be proud of our nation because there are a lot of things that we can explore in our country like the natural and the human itself. As a creative nation, we already have many products of our country. And the simplest thing we can do to support the Indonesian products is to use them and use less the imported ones because our products are better than the imported ones.

First, the Indonesian made is more creative than the imported ones. There are so many products which produced by home industries. Each home industry represents its own brand for example, ‘Damn! I Love Indonesia’. It is a new brand which launched by Indonesian artist, Daniel Mananta or we know as VJ Daniel. This brand consists of various products like T-shirt, hat, bag or merchandises which show our proud of Indonesia. The reason why he used English in the brand and not in Bahasa is because he wants not only the Indonesians who love their country but also all the people around the world. Some of the sentences that really show our nationality are, ‘Damn! I Love Indonesia’, ‘Thanks God, I’m Indonesian’, and much more. Actually there is also a logo which helps us to love our national products. The logo is ‘100% Cinta Indonesia’. This logo was launched in April 2009 by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during the Jakarta International Handicraft Trade Fair. This logo is an effort to increase the nationality of using national’s products.

Secondly, the Indonesian made of quality is better than the imported ones. We all know that most of Indonesian products are home industries or handmade. It is not only expanding its products but also the society by using them as the workers. Although it is a handmade but we do not have to worry or underestimate the quality. Even our quality is much better than the imported ones because some of the materials that they used are very good which taken from our nature, for example on making a curving. The materials are the best ever that we have like use teak or mahogany as the main substance and the sculptures are very skillful. Another example is endorses Cibaduyut made leather shoes.

Lastly, the Indonesian made is more economical. The customers do not need to pay more to buy a product because it does not need a fee for delivery. Although we buy it from the distributor, we still have to pay the fee because it is the imported ones. In contrast, we do not have to pay more expensive if we buy a national product. And the price is cheaper if we still have to deliver the product to our house. We are not only proud of using national products but we also help them to survive in the business competition.

Actually, not only national products that make us proud of our country but also are our great legacy. We have Batik, Keris, Angklung, Kebaya, Wayang Kulit, Foods, Songs and many more. And in this case, who do not know Nelson Mandela? The anti-apartheid activist and the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election. He is a faithful user of Batik. He has been wearing Batik shirts on many formal occasions and it eventually became his identity badge. If Nelson Mandela can love wearing Batik, can we? We have to be proud of being part in this country, Indonesia. We also have to be confident using or wearing our home products. Do not let other people or nations take them from our hands. We have to be aware of what we have and do not angry if someone taken them. Please save them, save our nation! If not us, more who?

Let The Cover Still Works as The Cover

Writing 5A

We are familiar with the quote, “don’t judge a book by its cover” but we never apply this into our life. Many times we quickly judge a new person from the first meeting by looking his or her appearance.

For me, it is natural if we do not like the way someone dresses, because we have ours super-ego that is shaped by our environment, education, and others. However, I disagree when people usually judge other people from the way they are dressing.

For example, (so sorry before) I really hate when my boyfriend ask me to find him a girl, he added, ”please, find me a girl who wearing veil”. How can we know the girls who wearing veil are really a nice person, how come? If we can dump this silly perspective, we will not see a pickpocket girl or a thief girl who is wearing veil any more. You must have written in newspaper, sometime we find a criminal thing is hiding behind a veil.

Other examples, from my own experience, I am usually judged by new people as a bad mother or a less experience mother. I ask to myself, how come people can be so bad like that? How do they know whether I am a good mother or no if they just know me for under one hour (and of course from the way I dress). They just see me as a young woman who always wears jeans and t-shirt and does not understand anything. They even shock when I tell them that I am still studying in the university. After that, they said, “If I were you, I would be so lazy to continue my study”. So, it is not my fault when I judge them as lazy people because they just tell me who they are.

If you have seen one of the episodes of “How Do I Look” on channel 241 (Indovision), you will see that people will judge someone as a nice person if they close their eyes.

That episode shows a girl who has an unique way to dress. She likes to wear a ballet skirt, a crown, and t-shirt with a printed of skull. The host brings her into a blind date with four guys. Those four guys’ eyes are closed during they have a conversation with the girl. After the date over, the host asks them about the girl, and they answer, “She is really smart and lovable, can we have a second date?”.

The host smiles to them and says, “of course, you can meet her now again”. Then the host calls the girl to meet them for the second time. What happens after that is the boys get really shock. They cannot believe that “the smart and lovable” girl is a girl who stands in front of them.

In my perspective, it will be nice and much better if we can accept any one without see whatever his or her wears. I belief, every one will be fine for us if we can accept them and try to learn how they are thinking. The truth has taught us that “not all books which have a perfect cover will have a good content too”. We can even learn many things from the book which has the simplest/ugliest cover, so why we do not try to apply it into our real life?

A Simple Thing Could be Great Things

Can you recall how much have you spent today? Is it around 50, or, maybe hundreds? Well, what about weekend? Ocassional things with family, friends, or lovers certainly would cause us to spend more than usual, doesn't it? Let's say the question is too personal and a bit bothering. Because, it stinks of interference and voyeurism. But, I call this, a simple thing and, with this 'simple thing', I can draw you something big. Something that you can hardly imagine, or never thought of. Surely, it won't be a plan of ocassional thing for weekend.
True that, hunger is not good for us in weekend. But, look around you. Would they have a dinner with shiny spoon and forks on a ceramic plate? Pay a close attention to them and, could you notice who is the one that suffering hunger?
Are they seem uneasy or in the state of painful sensation caused by craving appetite? Well, if they do, can you see that they are also exhausted because of it too. Above all, malnutrition is a serious problem that remains in all around us.
Yet, we might be the one who can get it solved. Malnutrition is an indication of lacking in nutrition. In other word, it is the impact of hunger.
There are two types of malnutrition. The first one is the lack of protein which has been a serious discussion to the world hunger. The sources of protein are meat, and other kind of food that contains protein. The lack of food that provides energy (calories) is also the main cause of it.
The second, is micronutrient lackness. It happens when vitamin and mineral are deficient. As a matter of fact, it is not the one giving troubles to malnutrition.
Speaking of world hunger, more than 1,02 billion people are hungry and, this is the increasing number from 854 million people, according to FAO statistical data in 14 October 2009. Maybe, we would found additional numbers if we do another statistical thing on this.
In asia and the pasific, counted up to 642 million people in the state of hunger, 265 for sub-saharan African, the number of 53 million noted in Latin America and Carribean, 42 in the near east and north Africa and, 15 million in developed countries. Let's think it over, what are the factors of this condition? The world wide economic crisis is one of them. It gives an impact to the prices, so significant increasing devastates the people who only spend few money in a day.
Let's pull ourselves together find a way to help us all. Taking the forementioned question, let's say, 50 thousands would be the exact number to spend in a day. Then, I say, we share half of it and give to those who needs it more. If we do a calculation of 10 persons doing that for a month, 7,5 million Rupiahs waiting to be donated and maybe, it can helps filling the stomach of those who are empty. Well, it actually does help. Let's make it a double times on the person, or, triple it and you can use your imagination on the numbers. That simple, isn't it?
Sometimes, we might forget to look around. Or, couldn't see hands that waiting to be held. Well, guilt is unnecesary, but, action is needed. So, why wait? Let's do what we can even we have to do it on our own. Because, if only we're the one who fills their shoes, can we imagine how does it feel to know that there is somebody out there, longs to let us know that we're not alone? And when we do, we would notice that a simple thing could be great things. So, why don't we do that simple thing together?
