Testing Free WIFI @ CHANGI

HIIII!

I’m at changi singapore just for a 45-minute transit to somewhere else. Testing the free wifi service, it’s only for 15 minutes per usage btw ^^

Well, it’s worth it enough, because it is very fast!

Uuuu T-T I’m very miss to be in Singapore. I’m so sad I can’t step out to outside, since it’s only 45-minute transit T-T *looking @ the airplane windows sadly*

 

See you next week!

Make Your Baby Tree @ The Real Forest :)

Do you want to have your own baby tree? At the real forest?

Now we can! ^^

The WWF made a website called www.mybabytree.org. Just like the web name, it is the web where we can plant a tree or more at the Indonesian rainforest, located at Borneo (Kalimantan) with just by paying US$5.50 for each baby tree using a paypal. Here is more information from the website:

1. What happens after I pay for my baby tree?
After you’ve paid, you will immediately receive an email confirming your payment. And in around two weeks we will email you a kmz link that you can use to locate your baby tree on Google Earth.

2. I can’t seem to find my baby tree.
Once you’ve donated, in around two weeks we will send a kmz link to your email. This link contains the coordinates of your newly planted baby tree. But in order for the kmz link to work, make sure that you have downloaded Google Earth before hand. Click here to download: www.googleearth.com

3. I’ve paid but there’s no news regarding my baby tree.

It takes us around two weeks after the time of your donation, to plant your baby tree and Geo-tag it.Then we will send you an email notifying you of the successful planting of your baby tree. In the email you will also receive a kmz link. Use this link (program) to pin point the exact location of your newly planted baby tree. But in order for it to work, you need to have Google Earth installed first. Click here to download your Google Earth: www.googleearth.com

4. How many people have planted so far?
We’ve had people from all over the world planting their baby trees. So far 1,300 baby trees have been planted. You can see the entire planting grid area on Google Earth.

5. Have other people already seen their trees on Google Earth?
Yes! Thousands of proud baby tree owners have seen their trees on Google Earth. And we have received hundreds of emails from everyone around the globe telling us how happy they are seeing their cute baby trees on Google Earth.

Of course you can. Just type the number of baby trees that you want to plant, in the Paypal box, on the left hand bottom corner of the web page.

7. Will I get news about my baby tree on my snail mail or on my Paypal account?
Neither. We will send you an email to the address you use to log in to your Paypal account.

8. What’s the most number of trees anyone ever bought?
Ms. Luna Maya from Jakarta, Indonesia has planted 100 baby trees.

9. How often can I check for updates and how do I do it?
Updates would depend on how often Google Earth refreshes their satellite images. Visibility of rain forest areas also depends on cloud cover. To check your baby tree, just click on the kmz link and it will automatically direct you to where your tree is planted.

10. How do I use Google Earth?
Google Earth is very easy to use. Once you’ve clicked on your kmz link you will immediately be directed to Google Earth. Now simply click on the NEWtrees link on the left column of your page. When clicked, you will automatically be pin pointed to the planting grid of your baby tree. Then you can easily navigate more by using the tools located on the top right hand corner of your page.

Please click on the ‘did you know’ tab and then click on the panda logo in the bottom left of your screen

If we still haven’t answered your questions please write to us at askme@mybabytree.org

For every virtual tree planted on the website, the WWF will plant a real tree at the Indonesian rainforest. There are three kinds of trees they will planted: Shorea Belangeran, Diera Costulata (Jelutung) and Alstonia Scholaris (Pulai).

When you go to the website, I suggest you to play the intro first, it’s hilarious!

When Rabbits are Worshipped

There are lots of shrines in Japan, which dedicated to the Gods (Kamisama) they worship. Each shrine has a purpose. For example, we have heard about the Goddess of Food/Rice (Inari Kamisama) which is associated with foxes and statued as “Kitsune” (Japanese fox) at the Inari Shrine. Then we also know about the famous God of Delivery who is believed will protect the mothers and their babies along the delivery process, which associated with shiba dogs at the Suitengu Shrine. But I’ll talk about them at another time. I’m specially interested with one of the most unlikely shrine I’ve ever known, Tsuki Shrine.

TSUKI SHRINE

Tsuki Shrine is a shrine for Moon God. Moon God is a brother of the Sun Goddess. They don’t talk to each other - hence day and night. The Japanese believes that rabbit is a messenger of Moon God which “brings happiness”. And so the shrine has statues of Rabbits within it

TO GO VISIT THE TSUKI SHRINE

It’s located at Urawa-shuku, Saitama prefecture, Japan. To reach it, alight at Urawa Station, take exit at the West Gate and then walk about 10 minutes.

Additionally, there is a flea market that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every month in Urawa-shuku’s Tsuki Shrine (wikipedia.com). It looks like they sell various of products. There even has kimonos sold with a very bargain price! (see below pictures) I certainly want to go there once I have a chance! ^^

I AM NOT YOUR WONDER WOMAN

“Wonder Woman” is not just a title of Mulan’s latest hit song. Mulan Jameela, who was popular by the name of Mulan Kwok, is a wonder woman herself.

Her real name is R. Wulansari. She was born in August 23, 1982 at Garut, West Java. She was a cafe singer when Maia found her and ask her to join in a pop duo called RATU. RATU was a pop duo established by Maia in 2002. The group had switched member two times, leaving only the founder remained in the group. However, since the case about salary’s transparency occurred, which was triggered by Mulan, RATU is now officially dismissed. It didn’t end there. The fight between Maia and Mulan is continued and now affecting Maia’s marriage.

I am still very mad with Mulan because she is acting bitchy by taking advantage of Ahmad Dhani’s (Maia’s husband) interest in her (click here to see the picture of Ahmad Dhani and Mulan’s public affair). She deliberately ignoring the truth that she could be as successful as now is because of Maia.

Anyway..In spite of all of her mistakes, I still give my respect to her efforts as a single parent for her child. For me, a single mother is a very tough position, and I respect those kind of people the most. And, she’s absolutely talented. I just hope God will soon open her blind heart (also for Ahmad Dhani).

I love this song very much. This is the song that has struck me hard into the heart. The song is very energetic and the video clip is totally amazing. The song is telling about a women who’s always being hurt by his boyfriend’s attitude toward her. The guy always promise that he would never do it again, but the fact is, he always repeat it again and again. The woman is telling that her heart is not made of iron and steel, that it can be broken. And she is yelling to make him realized that she, is not his wonder woman.

Just listen to this song, guys… And hey girls, say it together with me: I AM NOT YOUR WONDER WOMAN!

WONDER WOMAN

by: Mulan Jameela

Kamu tipu aku lagi
Mungkin sudah ke seribu kali
Tak tahu kapan akan berakhir
Segala penyiksaan ini

Kamu tampar aku lagi
Dengan penyakit lamamu
Semakin lama aku pun bisa
Menjadi benar-benar gila

Reff :
Aku bukan wonder womanmu
Yang bisa terus menahan
Rasa sakit karena mencintaimu

Hatiku ini bukanlah hati
Yang tercipta dari besi dan baja
Hatiku ini bisa remuk dan hancur

Kamu paksa aku
Menerima cintamu lagi
Dengan segala tingkah lakumu
Yang membuatku bingung

Kamu tahan aku
Dengan logikamu lagi
Kau pikir aku akan mencair
Dengan rayuanmu…

CONTINUED: HEALTH QUIZ from DR.OZ

Slept really nice Let’s continue!

WHEN DO MOST PEOPLE HAVE HEART ATTACKS?

At monday morning. Because it’s the changing time from a nice weekend back to a hectic schedule which makes people got so stress.

REGULER SEX WILL LONGER YOUR LIFE, SO HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HAVE SEX?

200 times yearly ( from a survey on 50 years old people by Duke University ). It’s gonna make you six years younger. Here’s why:
- it proves that the body system is doing well,
- and the man’s health proves to be in healthy condition.

WHAT IS THE BEST CURE FOR A JELLYFISH STING?

Vinegar ( urine also can cure it, but it must be acid enough ).
After giving the vinegar, shape the site that got sting, so the hook will come off. Then wash the wounds with salt water.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO REMOVE A TICK?

Pluck it. DO NOT TWIST IT. If the head still remains, don’t worry, your body will push it away by itself.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE ATTRACT MOSQUITOES MORE THAN OTHERS?

- The most important is because of the genetics.
- Your diet (some food attract mosquitoes).
- Mosquitoes hate hair. So, people with less hair on their body attract mosquitoes more than people with more hair on their body.

The solution is : use some perfume, deodorant, or lotion. Because mosquitoes hate scents.

WHAT CAUSES BRAIN FREEZE?

The dilation of arteries.
The ice cream stimulates the back of your mouth and artery spasm. After that, the arteries get big and deliver lots of blood to your brain at once, which gives you the pain in your head.

To avoid brain freeze, you must take your tongue and hold it on top of your mouth ( do this in between bites ).

INFORMATION ABOUT SPLEEN AND PANCREAS

Spleen is located at the top left of your stomach. It’s where the body keeps the stock of your blood. It’ll bleed a lot if you got hurt on it.

Pancreas is located at the top right of your stomach. If you feel pain on this area, you should check to the doctor. Because it’s dangerous.

HEALTH QUIZ from DR.OZ

RETURNED from hibernation! ^o^~

My thesis examination turned out to be very unexpectedly wonderful ^^ It’s not perfect, but I’m very happy with the result.. It feels so good when you already have the result of your EXTRA HARD WORK which have taken almost one and a half year to finish it!

Though the excitement after having the result didn’t last very long, since my friends on the same group of examination got what they didn’t expect for all the hard works they’ve been putting on their thesises.

Gosh.. The happy feeling just sucked up in a heart beat after I heard their results

Anyway… After some more revision in here and there, printing, took some signatures, and finally handed in the book to the Student Service Centre..  We’re now proudly holding the B.A title behind each of our names!

OK, I’m back to share another health information from Dr.OZ’s HEALTH QUIZ! There’ll be no options given, I’ll just give you the answers right after the questions :p

Here we go :

HOW MANY FIBER DO WE NEED?

25 gr of fibers per day for three meals. It brings down your blood pressure and cholesterol. Food that contains lots of fibers are peer, soya beans, and wheat paste.

One important thing to remember is that when you give your body more fibers, you also need more water (if not, you got slow).

WHICH CONDITION SHOWS THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH WATER?

When your urine is clear enough to see through. It means that it doesn’t highly concentrate.

People always being told to drink at least eight glasses of water each day. However, it really doesn’t need to be like that. Each person has different needs of water’s amount, since they have different life styles. The greatest hint is : you only need more water when you feel dry inside your mouth. If you don’t feel dry inside your mouth anymore, you already have enough water for your body.

WHAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS FAT IN YOUR BODY?

The fat in your belly.

For men, there is a good news about this : for every 35 pons decrease on your belly’s fat, you’ll gain AN INCH penis However, it’ll stop after a while. Keep working out on your stomach, guys! ^.-

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STORES FAT?

The OMENTUM ( the upper part of the small intestine, around your belly ). It has a chemical syndrome that stimulates you to eat a lot and will get you a high cholesterol and high blood pressure from obesity– which eventually will cause you a heart failure.

WHAT ARE FLAVANOIDS?

They’re in foods that contain antioxidants ( such as in tea and dark berry).

WHAT IS THE BEST FOOD TO SLOW DOWN YOUR AGING?

Food that contains potassium (banana). Potassium is symbolizes with “K” in chemistry term.

Plus do regular exercise!

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS MOST IMPORTANT (TO KNOW YOUR AGING)?

Blood pressure. High blood pressure shorten ten years of your age.

A healthy blood pressure for adult is approximately 120/80 mmHg (read: one twenty over eighty) with large individual variations. And as stated on the wikipedia, these measures of arterial pressure (blood pressure) are not static, but undergo natural variations from one heartbeat to another and throughout the day (in a circadian rhythm). They also change in response to stress, nutritional factors, drugs, or disease.

ps: If you have a high blood pressure, it makes holes on your arteries. And the body plaster is cholesterol. So, your body still needs a particular amount of cholesterol.

IMPOTENCE MAY BE A SIGN OF…

A heart disease.

It goes like this : the penis needs a gas called “nitrate oxide”, which acts like a viagra. The gas is also produced at the heart, which makes the arteries dilate. So, when the penis fails to “wake up”, it indicates that there are no nitrate oxide on it. And it may also indicated that there are no nitrate oxide on the heart, which makes the arteries fails to dilate.

The RAIN-CLEAR commercial

The newest commercial of CLEAR shampoo is endorsed by RAIN, the rising star from Korea. I LOVE it. This is another commercial which gives a big impact to the audience. The “RAIN” commercial has given a fresh air to the brand, rising its quality image, and the sexy dance moves definitely will make every women hysteric. While men, with his natural desire to be adored by women, will want to use the product. Great job!

However, the commercial in Indonesia version has a flaw. Very fair, but it instantly caught my attention. If we pay attention to the scenes which show the Clear product, you’ll see that the shampoo is clearly made by 3D. It looks rough and moves awkwardly. I think it’s because the packaging or the label of the product in Indonesia is different from the original one.

i breath..
i move…
i sweat..
with the world watching…
my hair..
my clothes..
i like black..
black is confident…
black looks good..
looking good means no dandruff
confidence means no dandruff
clear means no dandruff
i trust clear..
dandruff never comes back

my name is RAIN…

Below is the original version of the commercial:

Agency             : LOWE worldwide
Production of : Metaphor art, science, and magic
Duration         : 60 seconds
