More Than Blessed

Hello people.

Holiday will end soon, like in less than 24 hours. Bad news? Not really. Unlike previous ones, I'm pretty excited with the upcoming semesters as a last-year student, good things are going to happen surely, without doubt. At least embrace your last days at college before dealing with the real world.

Talking about holiday trips, I'm blessed to finally checklist 2 of my to-go place in Indonesia. One, the infamous Bromo mountain and finally Lombok (Gili Trawangan to be specific). Even more blessed, went there with bunch of quite-professional photographers wanna be, which is awesome. Documentation is as safe as Air Force One. K, exaggerating.

1. Bromo, Surabaya
Satisfied with the view, as good as it promised. Surabaya is also a great city, easy access to Chinese foods, pork etc.

The Dawn

The team

Pasir berisik katanya

6 km hiking to the top of mountain + super dust on the way. Bad for health. NOT RECOMMENDED.

 

 In case you're curious what's on top,

Top of mountain, not worth the journey actually.

Savana

Choco lava, Heaven on earth

 2. Lombok
Actually nothing to do here, mostly villages and usual beach. The food is great though.

Rumah Sade

Negotiation class

he/she seems confused 1

he/she seems confused 2

I have no idea what he/she is lol

 

hantam bang

Tanjung A'n

Forget-the-name kangkung

Ayam bakar Taliwang, my hand is bigger than the whole chicken

 3. Gili Trawangan
Leisure island, non-productive island, you name it. Don't know where to spend your money? Come here. Bars everywhere. Foods are as expensive as hell, seafood especially. Even there's charge of 5000 for toilet usage, which is "genius". I'd rather pee at the beach LOL kidding tho. Despite that, I had good fun here.

Gold, literally

Porky porky

The big feast

Recommendations: 

1. Wear minimal 3 layers of clothes at Bromo, seriously. Freaking cold there.

2. Rumah Sade's stuffs can be discounted up to 80%, if you dare. It works, just you dare. I dare you.

3. If you guys go to Gili, use travel agent. Why? To explore Gili's best places instead of just hanging out in bars that's why.

That's it, have a great weekdays.

God bless.

Smoking

Smoking has been a trend in the world these days. Although it has already been warned that smoking can kill you, cigarettes contain a lot of toxins. None of these warning really works on smokers. They just keep smoking all day. The problem with smoking is it doesn't only hurt the smokers, but also the people around him/her. Some say smoking can heal stress, loneliness and depression. Some say smoking is fun. Some say smoking is cool and many others. Even teenagers also smoke nowadays. The reason why they smoke also varies. May that be heartbroken, bad grades, being scolded too hard by parents, or just their friends. I can only say that no more than 90% smokers could stop smoking. So, it will be wiser not to start smoking rather than trying hard to stop when the substance has been addictive to oneself. There are some ways to prevent teenager from smoking. First, make sure the student filter his friends. This doesn't mean choosing, filter and choose is different. He may be friends with smokers, drug dealers, etc. But make sure not to hang out with them, or get close to them because there is a 99,99% chance that the student will be pulled to their territory. Second, make sure not to do something extreme during unstable age that can lead to depression. Yes, I'm saying about relationship. Teenagers are unstable about their feeling. And love is the greatest destroyer of teenagers' lives if they cannot manage the relationship. I'm not telling people that being in a relationship is bad, but first make a commitment that no matter what happens, smoking can kill you more than the relationship itself and should be avoided at all cost. Last but not least, pray to God. Study more about religion and practise what has been taught because ethics is what keeping us from going to the bad side. God is our protector and if we pray to Him, He will give us the best.

Writer: Smoking has been a trend these days.

Reader: Is smoking a bad thing?

Writer: Well, from the perspective of health, yes it's very bad. Smoking can kill you.

Reader: But why do people keep smoking?

Writer : They said that smoking can heal stress and depression, also some said that smoking is fun. Even teenagers also smoke now.

Reader : Why can the teenagers smoke?

Writer : Survey tells us that depression and stress are the main reason. It may be heartbreak, broken home, loneliness and many more.

Reader : Are there any chance to stop people from smoking?

Writer : Well, there are chances but nearly zero.

Reader : So how?

Writer : Prevention. Prevention is better than stoping after addiction has occured.

Reader : How to do that?

Writer : First, a person must filter his friends. Filtering doesn't mean choosing. But not going out with the smokers too often or be a good friend with smokers. Just be friend and don't get too deep inside their territory, it should be fine.

Reader : I see, that's good. But how about the internal factors like depression?

Writer : Well, that should be prevented too. Teenagers should not take a big step in their lives during unstable age. The most common problem is heartbreak. That's why before starting a relationship, it should be noted that it could end any time and the teenager should commit that whatever happens, there should be no smoking.

Reader : It might work, but are there any else?

Writer : Yes, the most important thing is pray to God. Because I believe that God will give us the best if we pray to Him.

Swim 2 Slim

Bonjour!

It's been the fifth day of holiday if I'm not wrong, and now every morning during the holiday is passed with some beneficial activities. So this holiday won't be a waste.

My friend and I have been going to swim every morning started from last Friday. Yes, our motivation is to get taller and still get the shape during the holiday. Most people gain their most weight during holiday, aren't they?

Well, since swimming is my routine during holiday, I'm gonna talk about some of it here.

So, does swimming really makes us taller? What's the other benefits?

Here's some explanations taken from growtallerblog.com

"Swimming is widely considered to be one of the best, if not the best, full body exercise you can perform, using nearly every major muscle in your body during its course.With swimming doing such a great job of exercising many different parts of the body, this naturally leads to the question of whether it also has the potential to increase height, as we know that exercise is one of the key methods used when attempting to grow taller.

If you have ever looked at the body of someone who swims regularly, you will notice that they have a torso that is longer than the average person. This is directly related to the act of swimming and the stretching of the spine.

If we look at some of the many grow taller exercises out there, we see that many of them use techniques that are very similar to techniques used in swimming, and this is just the first sign that swimming does indeed help in the realm of height gain.

One way that swimming also out paces some other forms of exercise is that the effects of gravity are not pressing down upon you, meaning you’re gaining the full benefit of your workout, without gravity stealing some of your thunder.

Of course there are many different swimming techniques, so the next question might be, is there one or more in particular that are better to practice than others?

The answer is no. You can freely use whichever swimming technique you feel most comfortable using. All swimming motions inherently use the same muscles to propel you forward, and all give you the same full body workout.

So not only is swimming a great full body workout, you can also see height gains as well due to the stretching of the limbs and joints while swimming! "

So that's enough for me to believe in the routine I'm currently doing.  There are still other  benefits of swimming besides of what is written here. Just make sure to do it regularly and don't expect a quick result.
Rome was not built in a day. You were born after 9 months, didn't you? So, everything needs time, don't give up and I,you,he,she,it,we,they will be there.
