The Use of Crystal Algae
Do you know about crytal algae? Maybe most of you have not known yet about this one. Crystal algae is kind of algae that really useful and effective for our body. Last year my mom got crystal algae from her partner. She said that it could make our body healthy. Prof Merille, a scientist from Germany have researched about it and discovered so many benefits by consuming crystal algae. For example, it can cure some diseases, such as hypertension, cancer, bronchitis, kidney failure, nerve damage, and most of serious illness. Recently, I have tried to cultivate crystal algae. It is not really hard, because we just need to ferment three tea spoons of crystal algae and one liter drinking water in the water container made from plastic or ceramic. It is not allowed to use equipment from iron, because it can make crystal algae does not grow well. Raisin and sugar is good nutrition for crystal algae, so give it seven raisins a week and two tea spoons sugar a day. For the best result, cover the water container and put it in the refrigerator. The water will be ready in one day. We can reuse the dregs from water, just wash it with drinking water, it is better to not using water which contain a lot of sulfur or chlorine, because it will decrease the quality of algae. Then do it in a cyclical pattern. If you want to prove it, just check it out in your own experience.. 🙂
Last Will Letter (Runner Up English Battle Day 2012)
Dandelion
DANDELION
I’d take the time
To sit and wait
Or stand in line
As i’d go and watch you leave
As i’d see you walk away
To somewhere
To some state
To a place that i don’t know
But before you go
I’d want you to know
That i’ll think of you
Every step of the way
And i’d struggle to say good bye
I won’t cry
And i won’t shed a tear
For i know that i’ll be wishing
That you’d be here
Right beside me
As i’d hold a dandelion in my hand
I’d wish with all my heart
That you’d turn around
You’d walk back to me
And hold me in your arms
Once again like you did before
I’d hold a dandelion
And i’d hear my heart beating
As you be leaving
On the next train out
To somewhere far away
And i’d want to hold you
In order for you to say
With me so i’d be at ease
But you’re not
So i’d have to let you do
As you please
As you walk out
And i’d tremble
But i do not cry…
The Power of ‘Thank You’
In the spirit of Thanksgiving I’d love to share with you the benefits and power of two simple words. THANK YOU.
They are two words that have the power to transform our health, happiness, athletic performance and success. Research shows that grateful people are happier and more likely to maintain good friendships. A state of gratitude, according to research by the Institute of HeartMath, also improves the heart’s rhythmic functioning, which helps us to reduce stress, think more clearly under pressure and heal physically. It’s actually physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time. When you are grateful you flood your body and brain with emotions and endorphins that uplift and energize you rather than the stress hormones that drain you.
Gratitude and appreciation are also essential for a healthy work environment. In fact, the number one reason why people leave their jobs is because they don’t feel appreciated. A simple thank you and a show of appreciation can make all the difference.
Gratitude is like muscle. The more we do with it the stronger it gets. In this spirit here are 4 ways to practice Thanksgiving every day of the year.
1. Take a Daily Thank You Walk – Take a simple 10-minute walk each day and say out loud what you are thankful for. This will set you up for a positive day.
2. Meal Time Thank You’s – On Thanksgiving, or just at dinner with your friends and family, go around the table and have each person, including the kids at the little table, say what they are thankful for.
3. Gratitude Visit – Martin Seligman, Ph.D., the father of positive psychology, suggests that we write a letter expressing our gratitude to someone. Then we visit this person and read them the letter. His research shows that people who do this are measurably happier and less depressed a month later.
4. Say Thank You at Work – Doug Conant, the CEO of Campbell Soup, has written over 16,000 thank you notes to his employees and energized the company in the process. Energize and engage your co-workers and team by letting them know you are grateful for them and their work. And don’t forget to say thank you to your clients and customers too.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for YOU.
Rahasia Hati
Ku coba merangkai kata cinta
Walau pun ku bukanlah pujangga yang bisa
Tuliskan kata-kata yang indah
Nyatanya tak ada nyali untuk ungkapkan
I wanna love you like the hurricane
I wanna love you like a mountain rain
So wild so pure
So strong and crazy for you
Andai matamu melihat aku
Terungkap semua isi hatiku
Alam sadarku alam mimpiku
Semua milikmu andai kau tau
Andai kau tau
Rahasia Cintaku
Berdoa dan beranikan diri
Sebelum semua ini terlambat terjadi
Andai matamu melihat aku
Terungkap semua isi hatiku
