SMART ANIMALS IN THE WORLD

2011-07-31T08:10:00.000-07:00

hello buddy!

Here is some smart animals. What's your favorite?

Chimpanzees: Chimpanzees are very closely related to human beings, so it makes sense that they would have the ability to manipulate their environment, use tools and work together as a group to accomplish tasks. Over 99 percent of the chimpanzee genetic code is identical to humans. While they may look very different, chimpanzees and humans are remarkably similar in terms of communication, social structure and the ability to learn. Chimpanzees and their new world ape relatives are some of the smartest animals on Earth.

Parrots: We all know "Polly, want a cracker," but parrots are much more intelligent than their typical repetition may suggest. Parrots are not only capable of repeating human phrases with accuracy, they are also capable of understanding the meaning of words and sentences and using the information contained in them to solve problems. Parrots and other birds have very small brains, but they use their brains in a different way than humans and are able to recall information and store memories from very early in their lives. It seems that repeating human words is only the first of many tricks parrots have up their sleeves.

Dogs: Man's best friend is also one of the smartest species of all time. Specific breeds, such as border collies, Labrador retrievers, poodles and German shepherds, are known for their intelligence. Many dog breeds have been intentionally bred to respond to human training, but others are just naturally inquisitive and curious about their surroundings, like Jack Russell terriers and some other smaller breeds. No matter how big or small, dogs are a huge part of our lives and will remain our closest companions for many years to come because of their intelligence.

Octopuses: Octopi are by far the smartest of all invertebrates. They are skilled hunters who use their ink to disorient their victims before killing them with their nimble tentacles. Octopi are incredibly resourceful, and those kept in captivity frequently break out of their aquariums and break into others in search of food. They also have been known to hitchhike onto fishing boats and break into their holds to eat the catch! And who could forget Paul, the World Cup octopus, who correctly predicted the winner of every match of the World Cup Finals by choosing between two boxes, each containing food and the logo of one of the two teams competing. Ultimately, their short lifespan limits their intelligence, but octopi are very intelligent and nimble problem solvers that have mastered their environment.

Rats: Rats get a bad wrap, so much so that we sometimes drastically underestimate just how smart these critters really are. Rats have been studied extensively in science, and in addition to surprising physical abilities, rats have been shown to be ingenious problem solvers with long memories. Maze tests have shown that rats have excellent long-term memory and the ability to adapt to changing situations. It's no wonder rats have survived for generations, and it's no surprise that they will continue to thrive for many years to come.

Elephants: Elephants are incredibly intelligent. They have incredibly large brains — even when compared to scale with human brains, the elephant brain dwarfs the brains of most other mammals. They use this brain to create some of the most complicated social structures in the animal kingdom. One indication of intelligence is altruism, or an animal's sacrifice for the good of the whole herd. Elephants are famous for their altruism in protecting their young, and this is only one of the many characteristics that make them amazingly intelligent. Elephants have been known to medicate themselves when sick by chewing the leaves of specific trees depending on their illness. They also bury their dead in a ritualistic way, the only other species on Earth to do so besides humans. Elephants are also very playful, which helps them to develop dexterity and special reasoning. Their nimble trunks can be used to manipulate tools, including paintbrushes, which elephants have been trained to use in creating remarkable pieces of art.

Cats: Most of us know cats as skilled hunters with incredible agility and amazing sensory ability. What many don't know is just how smart these animals really are. Cats are a learning species, capable of learning a variety of tasks through mimicry and trial and error. Cats can be toilet trained, taught to open doors and windows and have even been shown to teach themselves to use a can opener to open a can of cat food! Cats are incredible hunters, and, like their larger relatives, they are capable of working together to bring down prey and can establish social structures in times of need. These animals are truly remarkable — no wonder humans are so attached to our furry friends.

Bottlenose Dolphins: Dolphins are intriguing animals. In terms of body mass to brain ratio, dolphins have one of the largest brains in the animal kingdom. Research has indicated that dolphins are incredibly self-aware, which means that a dolphin can recognize itself in the mirror and may be interested in its surroundings in the same manner humans are. Dolphins have also been shown to have complicated social structures and advanced communication ability. New research has tried to bridge the communication gap between humans and dolphins by replicating the sounds dolphins use to communicate and translating them into questions. Remarkably, the dolphins have responded to these questions with an incredibly high accuracy level, reflecting their ability to think and deduce. Dolphins may be the most intelligent animals on Earth next to humans, but more research needs to be done to understand just how smart they really are.

Pigs: Pigs have a reputation as dirty animals. But that doesn't mean they are stupid. In reality, they are extremely intelligent. And for the record, they aren't particularly dirty, either. Research has shown that pigs may be as smart as a 3-year-old human child. There is even some indication that pigs dream and that mother pigs sing to their young as they nurse. Pigs lead complex social lives and often compete with one another to learn new skills, usually related to gathering food, as well as jumping and running. So, while pigs definitely have a somewhat negative reputation, we may need to give our big pink friends a little more respect, as they are proving to be smarter than we ever thought.

Horses: Horses and humans have always had a unique relationship. We have depended on their strength for generations, but one thing we haven't paid as much attention to until recently is how smart these animals are. Horses evolved as prey animals, but they are not merely instinctual runners. They developed incredibly complicated social structures in which leaders must be chosen and remembered, and often the leaders are not the strongest or fastest of the herd, but the most experienced and intelligent. This indicates that horses are capable of thinking and making decisions, which makes sense due to the unpredictable environment they live in. Not only are horses beautiful and strong, they are also extremely smart and important allies of humans.

Squirrels: These lovable little rascals may too often end up as road kill, but they are smarter than we normally give them credit. Not only do they typically live in complicated colonies and save excess food, but they also have exceptional memory and recognition abilities. The next time one of these little guys steals food from your birdfeeder, just remember that they are a lot more resourceful and intelligent than they often get credit for.

Raccoons: Raccoons are well known as mischievous and crafty animals, and this may be a glimpse into how intelligent these animals can be. Like other intelligent animals, raccoons develop miniature societies and have complicated relationships with others in their community. Unlike some other animals, raccoons have amazing hands and are more than capable of using tools and solving problems using their paws. Raccoons are tricky animals that should be recognized for their creativity and resourcefulness.

Crows: The crow is more than a jet-black bird we all recognize. Recent research has shown that crows are extremely intelligent and capable of solving complicated puzzles. Crows can use their beaks in incredible ways, and, when it comes to finding food, there may be no bird more resourceful and creative than a crow. One fascinating new discovery is the way in which crows interact. Crows have been seen playing tricks on one another, startling relatives and cawing in unique dialects only family members can recognize. They are also adept at using tools, a trademark characteristic of intelligence. We don't typically think of crows as smart, but clearly we need to change our perception of this interesting bird.

Pigeons: Sometimes referred to as flying rats, these birds, like their land dwelling "relatives," are very smart. Most people are aware that pigeons were used during war as messengers and prized for their ability to remember people and places for many years at a time. But pigeons can also multitask, dividing their attention between multiple stimuli at the same time in order to accomplish multiple tasks in a shorter period of time. This is a remarkable feat and one that few animals can duplicate. The next time you have the opportunity to feed the pigeons, just remember that they are much more than panhandling opportunists.

Orangutans: Orangutans are extremely smart animals. Some of their most impressive skills come from imitation of human actions. Orangutans have been taught to saw wood, use a hammer to nail structures together and even siphon liquids through a hose. But even more remarkable than the mere replication of human actions is the orangutan's ability to understand why we complete these actions and use them in the wild when they might be helpful. For example, an orangutan was taught how to build a simple protective structure using tools available in the wild. When released from captivity, the orangutan was observed building the same structure to get out of the rain. It's easy to see how these animals are so closely related to us.

Whales: Whales are huge, but are they as intelligent as they are massive? New research seems to indicate that they are. Perhaps the most striking area of whale intelligence is in their use of communication. The whale's use of complex sounds that can be heard for hundreds of miles indicates a species of incredible intelligence. Specific whale songs have been heard at specific points of the lunar cycle, and sometimes whales can sing a song which lasts an hour or more, only to have the song answered by another whale 300 miles away by repeating the exact same hour long song! Whales are very intelligent creatures and before we drive them to extinction we should recognize just how smart they can be.

Monkeys : We all know how nimble the monkey can be, but these animals may be much smarter than we previously thought. Recent insight into the social interactions of monkeys reveals a social structure that would make our own soap operas look predictable and boring. One such observation recalled how one monkey used "Machiavellian" tactics to take over a hoard of females and gain control of a large segment of the community, only to be ousted from power by a revolt from those he used to get to the top. That kind of scientific observation sounds more like a gangster movie than research into how monkeys interact, but in fact it may reveal how smart and cunning these animals can be in order to survive.

Sheep: Don't believe that sheep are intelligent? Think again. It's shown that sheep have one of the most powerful memories of any animals on Earth, and this memory goes much farther than the ability to recall. Sheep have been observed experiencing powerful emotional responses when shown images of long lost flock members. These emotional responses reveal that sheep not only recall images, but also understand and interpret them in a way that was once thought to be uniquely human. Perhaps our wooly friends deserve a bit more respect than we give them.

Falcons: Falcons are the stealthy hunters known for preying on animals as large as house cats with an incredibly fast and devastating attack. But is there more to the falcon than talons? The ancient practice of falconry may reveal the answer. For centuries humans have trained falcons to obey commands, retrieve prey and deliver messages. The incredible memory of the falcon has made it a very capable workhorse for humans, and falconry has continued well into the modern era. While many species of falcon are currently endangered, wildlife conservationists have gone out of their way to protect this beautiful bird, partly because we recognize just how smart and loyal it can be.

Owls: Owls have a long history beneath their wings. Ancient Greeks considered the nocturnal bird to be full of wisdom, but they later became known as harbingers of evil, death and bad luck in Africa and the Americas. Despite its mixed associations, most people generally associate owls with wisdom. These skilled and stealthy birds of prey hunt primarily on wing with their exceptional vision, keen senses and camouflaged bodies. Owls have an important role in the animal kingdom, as well as in human life by controlling the rodent population on properties in a natural form of pest control. These beautiful creatures have been the target for poachers and hunters for some time now, leading to serious conservation concerns for the animals. It's important to keep the owl population alive and well because we can learn a thing or two from these all-knowing creatures that guard the night.

That's what I called -sisters-

2011-06-24T03:20:00.001-07:00

hello buddy!
How are you?
Today, I wanna share a bit experience of mine. This's happnening a few months ago. But I just remembered it and yep, Im writing it right here.
This happened when I was on the way backed home by bus. So, absolutely this happened in a bus.

Well, here is the story goes!
It was afternoon and I was on the bus otw home from my course. In the crossroad, two little girls stopped this bus and got into and then took their seats. They were about 10 and 11 years old. The older of them was holding an ice cream in her right hand. I thought I knew these girls, but where...???. Ahh, I didn't remember. Maybe they lived near my home or whatever. I never went out of my home. I mean I pretty seldom socialized with my neighbours, because I was too busy in schooling and coursing. Well, after about 20 mins, this bus almost reached my home and maybe these two girls also.

"give the fare, sist!", asked the older.
"here it is!", said the younger. Then threw money to her big sister.
Then the older got it but she was too busy with her icecream.

Afew minutes ago,
The younger said, "sist, where is our fare?"
The older replied, ''this... Oh... Where is the other Rp.1000?"
The younger said, "I gave Rp.2000 to u. I gave it to u. You made it lost!!"
Then older talked calmly, "sist, please check you bag again!"
The younger shouted, "I have gave it to you!! Where did you put it?? Where did you put it??"
The older felt bad, "I hold it in my hand. Where is the other? Why just Rp.1000 in my hand?"
The younger shouted a bit louder, "I gave to you. I gave it. It's all your fault!!! You were busy with you icecream"
The older felt so guilty with her nervous face but still cute, she looked for their money under their seats, right... Left...

While the older was looking for it, the younger was whining and seemed so nervous said, "where is sist? Where is it? I gave to u. Sist, you got it sist. How is this, sist?"

All passengers seemed didnt care about it. They just pretended that nothing's happening. I myselft sat near those girls. So, I could see what exatcly happened and noticed it.

You know, buddies? What I dont get here is how could those people pretended everything was quite. Hmmm...

The younger girl complained alot to her sis, "how then, sist? What will we do?"
and I don't know why but she was too cute that time. She complained alot made her looked so sweet. Just like this, "kak, mana uangnya? Gimana ini kak? Kakaknya. Kakaknya. Dimana kakak buat?"

What made that words sounded sweet is the way she complained, but she still called her sister "sist". LoL. I think it's so good to hear it. I mean if I myself fought with my big sister. I won't call her "sist" again that time. Or if I made a mistake, she won't call me "sist" in that day. But these two girls.... Just soo woww, really... :)

I took pity and got salute with them. Then I asked them.
"what's going on, dear?"
"We lost our money, sist," the older answered.
"you don't have any again?" I asked.
"no, sist," the older the older answered again.
"well, I'll pay your fare." I said.
"really sist?" asked the older said.
"yes, really." I said clearly.
"thank you, sist. Thank you." she thanked me.
"ahah, you're welcome." I smiled.

So that's the story!
I think that's so interesting. Like I said above, it showed how close that two lovely sisters. They still care each other though the older had made something wrong mistakenly. Awww, so pleased to meet them both. If every sisters in the world like this, then this world will be so lovely...

Well buddies, until here my writings. I hope we can learn something from this. Always keep spirit!

THE OTHER SIDE OF DOWN

Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, (Down, Down)

Here I am with all these questions hanging from my ceiling low
One by one they all keep telling me I told you so
Everywhere I turn I see red lights flashing over my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Mm-mm
In a whirl-wind spinning, yeah somehow it knocked me off my feet
But I know better than to let it get the best of me,
I could give up, I could stay stuck, I could move on

So I put one foot front of the other,
No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down-own
Down-own, Down-whoa-oh-ow-own

(Down, Down, Down-ah-own)

In the sky, I'm standing under all I see is endless rain
I think I spot a silver lining hiding in the gray
I might get tossed around, but I'm always bouncing back
Oh, oh, oh
I could give up, I could stay stuck, or I could move on,

So I put one foot front of the other,
No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down-own

Down-own, Down-whoa-ah-ow-own
Down-own, Down-own, Down-whoa-ah-ow-own

On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be
On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be

Where I wanna be

No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down-own

SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE

Every night it’s all the same
You’re frozen by the phone
You wait, something’s changed
You blame yourself every day
You’d do it again
Every night

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

When you were young
Scared of the night
Waiting for love to come along
And make it right
Your day will come, the past is gone
So take your time
And live and let live

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

Don’t fight
Don’t hide
Those stars in your eyes (in your eyes)
Let em’ shine tonight
Let em’ shine tonight

Hang on
Hang in
For the ride of your life
It’s gonna be alright
Hold on tight

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh

There’s something ’bout love

Whoa oh oh oh..
Set’s you free
There’s something bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain

LOOK AROUND

Keep on running
And you'll never get to feel the moment
It's like you're sleeping
'Cause you don't take the time to take it in

Like a train wreck, you're on a mission
Tunnel vision got you blinded
Better slow down before you lose ground
It will happen anyway
Paint it over if your world is gray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around

Shut the window tight
But it's raining on the inside
Do you realize you're getting nowhere
That it's all laid out for you?
Cut the ribbon if it starts to fray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around

You found a loop hole that you fell in
Now you're treading water
You gotta see the hand
For it to pull you out

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around

GOOD PLACE

I don’t know what I’m doing here
How I landed in this space
But it’s a good place

And I don’t wanna mess it up
Make mistakes or say too much
‘Cause it’s a good place

You find it
You hold it
You feel its grace

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late (I hope it’s not too late)
I hope it’s not too late

I’ve been silent up to now
I’ve been going with the flow
Wherever that goes

But something’s screaming down inside
Makes me want to close my eyes
And hear the echo

You find it
You know it
Don’t make it wait

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late

‘Cause I don’t wanna waste another summer
I don’t wanna wait until I fall
I could be a memory tomorrow
I could be nothing at all

I don’t know what I’m doing here
How I landed in this space
But it’s a good place

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late

Oh, yeah
I hope it’s not too late

Well, buddy! You can download that song and I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks and always keep spirit!

YOUR plan, not mine

2011-06-12T01:10:00.000-07:00

hello buddy!
Today let us reflect. We are as human beings who have the Almighty Lord, do not rarely pray for something we want, something good happens to us, or pray that our dreams can be fulfilled. In essence, we must pray about all that is good and we expect to become a reality. Why do we only pray for our dreams which are good? And what about the plight that might happen?
In fact, we often beg and implor, "Lord, please ... make it real my God," "God ... this is my request from my deepest heart", "God ... please make this happen."

Let us read the story below.

Someone who always prays…
* At School Graduation
"God, please make me this time become a class champion. I've been studying diligently, I had worked and prayed diligently. Please O Lord, make me become the pride of all people. "
(GOD accepted)

* At the University Test Selection
"God, maybe this is the most request from my deepest heart. Please God, let me enter the university. I don’t want to re-learn again in for next year. God certainly, You don’t want your child be so grieving and mocked by others, right? God, I'm really asking that my name will be written on the list of students who qualfied. "
(GOD accepted)

* In a Job Test
"Yes, my Lord, God You already known my sacrifice for this. I fought from the bottom. Now, show my God that I can get this job or all will just become a vain. Yes, God I believe God will grant my prayer. "
(GOD accepted)

* As of the promotion to be Director
"This time theGod, don’t make me disappointed. I have to be a director. I beg, yes, Lord! I really hope this time. In this way, I promise will be more diligent in prayer. "
(GOD accepted)

Buddy, the story above, it was a perfect life for a man. Truly, he was a very very lucky because everything he requested had become a reality.

But, Have we forgotten about life in this world which full of joy and sorrow? Have we forgotten that life in this world like a wheel which is sometimes above and sometimes be under? That is, we certainly will not always be in good condition, happy and blissful. Sometimes, things get worse, sad and grieving. And oddly enough, we are more often just pray for all the good dreams come true? Let's think, if God always grant our good dream, then what about the dreams of others?
If God always grant our wishes as the story above. Then, when the Lord will grant the wishes of others? Can you bear to laugh happily after got the 1st rank, entered the best university, got a great job and became a director, while others is in despair because of his hope to get one of his dreams now have been destroyed?
Do we have a heart for it?

I believe that human beings who have a good character can not bear that circumstances. And I believe all who read this writing of mine is people with a conscience. So, we'll think about what other people feel.
Let us have an introspection, all this time we ask too much for what we want to be accomplished. In fact, behind that all God already has a plan for each of us. However, we are even more frequently emphasize that our plans have to happen. But, The Lord has set a beautiful project for us. God always knows what is the best for us.

So Buddy, do not always ask for our plans become true. But ask Him to bless you sincerely with pleased for the plan that he will give to you.

Oh yes, Buddy, yesterday I just read a story which took by a friend of mine from a website.
This is the story about, a little boy who trained hard eventually became a champion race car. Then he was asked by a jury, "You must have prayed to God so that you can beat your friends, right?"
Then, The Champion said, "It's true I prayed to God. But, I didn’t pray to beat my friends. I do not want my friends lose. I just pray that God strengthen me, so that I won’t cry when I lose . "

The story above shows the magnitude of conscience and a real belief of the little child. He has already trained so hard and he even did not ask for a good achievement for his hard worked. He only prayed that when he defeated, God give him strength not to cry. From here, we can know the little boy handed his win or lose to God.

Buddy, let's learn from the child. Let's surrender everything to God. Keep believing that God's design is a beautiful design. Therefore, let's whisper in your little soft heart, "Your Plan God, not mine.”

All right, Buddy! That is a lesson for today! Keep spirit of living life!

I'm Back

2011-06-12T00:56:00.001-07:00

hello buddy!

How are you? Long time no see. Sorry, after so long I left this beloved blog. Yesterday, I was very busy with schooling. I joined the Biology Olympiad and some other games in Beijing {kidding! Not in Beijing, only in the State of pride, Indonesia}. So, yes.. I was just concentrating on my subject {um ... um}. A lot of experiences about ups and downs I felt at that moment. Well, just make it as a lesson and good memories ... haha.

Anyway, ~~I failed to win championships in every game~~ {Oh, no ... not .. Who said I fail? I didn’t}. Well, God said that it was not a right time for me to shine because it was still night {ha ha, now do you think I’m a sun? Shine here means to be a winner}. There are another time which the Lord has set in for an Egritha who will shine brightly.

A few weeks after the Olympics finished, I had to take the examination which was held at the school {Oh, mercy!}. Exams went well. Please pray yeah buddy ... hopefully the results are also satisfactory {Amen!}.

Now I don’t have other activities. Therefore, I will write regularly to fill empty time {yuhuuu! Smile!}. I'll pour some of the contents in my mind here{all these writings are written from my own experience, knowledge, and anything that happened in my life}. Therefore, don’t be careless and tired to read my writing yeah! Keep spirit! {Come on, smile now!!}

Sculptor's Attitude

2011-04-24T08:16:00.001-07:00

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friend or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provide shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Have a GREAT DAY……unless you have other plans.

FORGET and DON'T FORGET

2011-01-30T03:02:00.000-08:00

Forget about the days when it's been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun...

Forget about he times you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories you have won...

Forget about the mistakes that you cant change now,
but don't forget the lesson that you have learned...

Forget about the misfortunes you've encountered,
but don't forget the times you luck has turned...

Forget about someone who broke your heart yesterday,
but don't forget someone who loves you tenderly today...

Keep Fighting!!!

Happy New Year!!

2010-12-31T07:36:00.000-08:00

hello buddy!

Today 31 of December, I went to a village, Tigabolon and take pilgrimage.
On the highway there is a very long traffic jam. Perhaps because of welcoming the new year. The car we got in line for 30 minutes. I got annoyed and bored. But, suddenly, I saw policemen(wardens) who were directing traffic if vehicles for orderly. I feel sorry for those wardens because in welcoming the new year they still worked. I learn one new thing that is how we serve to the country with the job with a patient heart. The wardens would have to be patient for things like that. May God bless those people...

Anyway,

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!

Wish everything will be fine in this New Year...
May God bless us all.

Forgive me if I have made mistakes in the last year...

Thank youuu

10 EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD

2010-12-31T06:52:00.000-08:00

10 Extraordinary People in the World are :

1. Kim Ung-Yong: Attended University at age 4, Ph.D at age 15; world’s highest IQ.

This Korean super-genius was born in 1962 and might just be the smartest guy alive today (he’s recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as having the highest IQ of anyone on the planet).

By the age of four he was already able to read in Japanese, Korean, German, and English. At his fifth birthday, he solved complicated differential and integral calculus problems. Later, on Japanese television, he demonstrated his proficiency in Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, German, English, Japanese, and Korean. Kim was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records under “Highest IQ”; the book estimated the boy’s score at over 210.

Kim was a guest student of physics at Hanyang University from the age of 3 until he was 6. At the age of 7 he was invited to America by NASA. He finished his university studies, eventually getting a Ph.D. in physics at Colorado State University before he was 15. In 1974, during his university studies, he began his research work at NASA and continued this work until his return to Korea in 1978 where he decided to switch from physics to civil engineering and eventually received a doctorate in that field. Kim was offered the chance to study at the most prestigious universities in Korea , but instead chose to attend a provincial university.

As of 2007 he also serves as adjunct faculty at Chungbuk National University .

2. Gregory Smith: Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize at age 12

Born in 1990, Gregory Smith could read at age two and had enrolled in university at 10. But “genius” is only one half of the Greg Smith story. When not voraciously learning, this young man travels the globe as a peace and children’s rights activist. He is the founder of International Youth Advocates, an organization that promotes principles of peace and understanding among young people throughout the world. He has met with Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev and spoke in front of the UN. For these and other humanitarian and advocacy efforts, Smith has been nominated four times for a Nobel Peace Prize. His latest achievement?

He just got his driver license.

3. Akrit Jaswal: The Seven Year-Old Surgeon

Akrit Jaswal is a young Indian who has been called “the world’s smartest boy” and it’s easy to see why. His IQ is 146 and is considered the smartest person his age in India —a country of more than a billion people.

Akrit came to public attention when in 2000 he performed his first medical procedure at his family home. He was seven. His patient — a local girl who could not afford a doctor — was eight. Her hand had been burnt in a fire, causing her fingers to close into a tight fist that wouldn’t open. Akrit had no formal medical training and no experience of surgery, yet he managed to free her fingers and she was able to use her hand again.

He focused his phenomenal intelligence on medicine and at the age of twelve he claimed to be on the verge of discovering a cure for cancer. He is now studying for a science degree at Chandigarh College and is the youngest student ever accepted by an Indian University .

4. Cleopatra Stratan: a 3 year old singer who earns 1000€ per song

Clepotra was born October 6, 2002 in Chisinau , Moldova and is the daughter of Moldovan-Romanian singer, Pavel Stratan. She is the youngest person ever to score commercial success as a singer, with her 2006 album La vârsta de trei ani (”At the age of 3″). She holds the record for being the youngest artist that performed live for two hours in front of a large audience, the highest paid young artist, the youngest artist to receive an MTV award and the youngest artist to score a #1 hit in a country (”Ghita” in Romanian Singles Chart).

5. Aelita Andre: The 2-year-old artist who showed her paintings in a famous Gallery

The abstract paintings of emerging artist Aelita Andre have people in Australia ’s art world talking. Aelita is two (the works were painted when she was even younger). Aelita got an opportunity to show her paintings when Mark Jamieson, the director of Brunswick Street Gallery in Melbourne ’s Fitzroy, was asked by a photographer whose work he represented to consider the work of another artist.

Jamieson liked what he saw and agreed to include it in a group show. Jamieson then started to promote the show, printing glossy invitations and placing ads in the magazines Art Almanac and Art Collector, featuring the abstract work. Only then did he discover a crucial fact about the new artist: Aelita Andre is Kalashnikova’s daughter, and was just 22 months old. Jamieson was shocked and embarrassed but decided to proceed with the exhibition anyways.

6. Saul Aaron Kripke: Invited to apply for a teaching post at Harvard while still in high school

One of them earned a letter from the math department at Harvard, which hoped he would apply for a job until he wrote back and declined, explaining, “My mother said that I should finish high school and go to college first”. After finishing high school, the college he eventually chose was Harvard.

Kripke was awarded the Schock Prize, philosophy’s equivalent of the Nobel. Nowadays, he is thought to be the world’s greatest living philosopher.

The littler adviser tackles problems ranging from how to dump boyfriends and how to cope with relationship breakdown to dealing with smelly brothers. When one listener wrote to Elaina asking how to get a man, she replied: “Shake your booty on the dance floor and listen to High School Musical”.

Round the fire, round the tree
Singing carols merrily

MY CLOSE FRIENDS

2010-11-15T06:36:00.000-08:00

hello buddy, today I will tell you about my close friends, friends of mine. Previously, sorry to my friends whom I will write here. Because I'll describe u honestly here.

-Ida Mayasari
She is a friend of my bench.
She is diligent that makes herself become a smart girl. Honestly sometimes I think that she's pretending to be diligent child, it's annoying. But, she really diligent. I enjoyed teasing Ida because she deserved to be teased. Haha. Why not? when my naughty friend bothered her, she just nag till late at night. Yes, she is fussy. And I think that she's stubborn. Whatever happen it’s difficulty to change her mind. We are often have some different opinions and sometimes we get petty quarrel. But, whatever for me she's a cool person. I mean, I'm glad to be her friend. Because we also easily reconciled. Ida is a sweet Muslim, but she's not bigoted to me. We often laughed together and she is very pleasant. We laugh at things which do not need to be ridiculed. weird! Haha. I’m sure Ida will be a great one!

I and Ida

-Lydia Rahmadani
If anyone asked, who is the sweetest girl in your class? I will immediately replied that it is Lydia Rahmadani. She's receptive to learning. Yes, she’s including a smart person. She spoke gently smooth and makes me do the same thing to her. However, Lydia is very shy and hard to get along with others. It makes people think that she's arrogant, but she is not. She is also quiet and her voice very slowly even though I had turned her ear to the final volume. Haha. Im just kidding. Lydia is also a good Muslim. I loved all the characteristics of Lydia, she is cool! We were both equally like western songs, western artists, western film and the things that westernized. That kept me out the word to speak with her. But, when we both are together we will keep silent. Because I and she are shy girls.

Lydia and I

-Beby Hardianti
This cute girl, I called plain. Hahaha. PLAIN! Why? Because she's pretty plain to be a BEBY. This Muslim girl is beautiful, smart and good. She is also very friendly to me. She often takes me out of the classroom while at rest. Then I would run and shout, "wait glace!" lol. (Forgive me, dear!) But I feel she's very funny and cheerful. Thank Beby, cheers!
I dont have Beby pic, I'll upload later.

-Rinesha Siahaan
Rinesha is a girl with a gold voice. Really! When she sings amazed us until half to death. Honestly, she's not so smart. But there are some interesting things about her that makes my heart was touched. One time she told me that she and her sister fight. She said, "I do not mean to hurt my sister. Am I wrong? I just want to be a good sister. " Yes, honey. My heart was really touched by her words. Is there a better sister than Rinesha? That's why I called him, "Sissy". Rinesha speak carelessly and greedily make she looked like a humorous person and I'm happy laugh at her. But, she makes my stomach hurt because she's just like a clown. Hahaha. I’m joking! She is cute actually. But, I’m cuter hehe. You know? Only people who close to her will realize that sshe is very special. Rinesha is a Christian same like me, so I'm not too shy to her. We spent much time together and usually hang out together.

I and Rinesha

Rinesha and I

Actually, I have many others good friends, but I choose only tell about those four girls to be my closer friends. And I love them all. Thanks, Jesus for giving me friends like them.<333

Ich hasse die wichtigsten Entscheidung oder Lehrer oder wer dies tat! nicht differenzieren uns !!!!!!!! Bitte. : '(:' (

Ok, saya gak mau cerita yang gak enaknya... (hehehe, emg di Bali ada yg gk enak?) Gak ada, coy!! cuma pastinya masalah selalu muncul kapan aja dia mau.
Ok deh, back to Bali (O,, paradise).

Tanggal 26-27,
Nginap di Kuta(Pelangi Hotel). Kuta is unbelievable. Pagi2, kita main di pantai, surfing trus swimming in bondar-bondar (do u know bondar2?) percaya pula itulah! haha. ya berenang di KOLRE dong. Sempat juga jalan-jalan ke Tanah Lot. Salah satu makanan terkenal di Bali yah BABI GULING. Saya sendiri heran mana dagingnya. Soalnya, yang ada sup, sate gitu, dan cuma kulit babi. Hih! O ya, ada tempat makan yang gila rameee banget di Kuta. Semua bulee, man, woman! Namanya WARUNG MADE. Kelihatannya warung sederhana gitu. Ternyata... ini mah Resto. (udah sarap yang buat nama warungnya itu!) sabar wei!

Tanggal 28-30
Nginap di LOvina(Aneka Lovina Hotel). Ynag menarik disini adalah pantainya yang tenang kata orang ya?(gak seru), lumba2, taman laut, dll.

Tanggal 31-2
Sebenarnya, mau stayed in Ubud, tapi batal. Soalnya, udah biasa lihat sawah (sok!). Bukan saya yang tidak setuju nginap di Ubud. Tapi, anak2 Jakarte itulah. Saya sih kemana aja ok. Jadi balik lagi deh ke Kuta (lupa nama hotelya, tp katanya 2 x lipat lebih mahal dari sebelumnya). Sebelumnya kita jalan-jalan ke Dreamland (pantai indah, ombak besar dgn muaranya). Trus, ke Pasar Sukawati, Danau Bedugul, ahh banyak lagi dehh...

Tanggal 3
oh hell,, back to Jakarta...

well, mungkin yang saya tulis gak akan bisa menggambarkan Bali yang sebenarnya. Tapi, Bali emang betul2 indah. Kalo gak percaya, silahkan buktikan!

Claude Bernard Biography (Biologist)

2010-04-14T03:28:00.000-07:00

Bernard was born in 1813 in the village of Saint-Julien near Villefranche-sur-Saône. He received his early education in the Jesuit school of that town, and then proceeded to the college at Lyon, which, however, he soon left to become assistant in a druggist's shop. His leisure hours were devoted to the composition of a vaudeville comedy, and the success it achieved moved him to attempt a prose drama in five acts, Arthur de Bretagne.

At the age of twenty-one in 1834 he went to Paris, armed with this play and an introduction to Saint-Marc Girardin, but the critic dissuaded him from adopting literature as a profession, and urged him rather to take up the study of medicine. This advice Bernard followed, and in due course he became interne at the Hotel Dieu. In this way he was brought into contact with the great physiologist, François Magendie, who was physician to the hospital, and whose official 'preparateur' at the Collège de France he became in 1841.

In 1845 Bernard married Françoise Marie (Fanny) Martin for convenience; the marriage was arranged by a colleague and her dowry helped finance his experiments. In 1847 he was appointed Magendie's deputy-professor at the college, and in 1855 he succeeded him as full professor. Some time previously Bernard had been chosen the first occupant of the newly-instituted chair of physiology at the Sorbonne. There no laboratory was provided for his use, but Louis Napoleon, after an interview with him in 1864, supplied the deficiency, at the same time building a laboratory at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in the Jardin des Plantes, and establishing a professorship, which Bernard left the Sorbonne to accept in 1868, the year in which he was admitted a member of the Académie française. In the same year he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

When he died he was accorded a public funeral – an honor which had never before been bestowed by France on a man of science. He was interred in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Chales Darwin Biography (Biologist)

2010-04-11T22:01:00.000-07:00

Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who showed that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. The scientific community and much of the general public came to accept evolution as a fact in his lifetime,but it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed that natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution.In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.

Darwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of Edinburgh; instead, he helped to investigate marine invertebrates. Studies at the University of Cambridge encouraged his passion for natural science. His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author.

Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage, Darwin investigated the transmutation of species and conceived his theory of natural selection in 1838. Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists, he needed time for extensive research and his geological work had priority. He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay which described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication of both of their theories. Darwin's work established evolutionary descent with modification as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. In 1871, he examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. His research on plants was published in a series of books, and in his final book, he examined earthworms and their effect on soil.

In recognition of Darwin's pre-eminence as a scientist, he was one of only five 19th-century UK non-royal personages to be honoured by a state funeral, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton.

Pengalaman ini terjadi waktu gue duduk di kelas I sma. (Yee,, sekarang juga masih kelas I sma). Okeh, gue tambahin waktu gue kelas I SMA di semester I. Sebenarnya ini pengalaman terjadi sma temen gue, namanya VERONIKA. Tapi, gue dan temen-temen sampai ngakak setengah mati gara-gara hal bego ini.

Ok, langsung ajah. NGGAK NGASIH GURU MASUK # NOW PLAYING

Waktu itu les terakhir untuk pelajaran TIK di kelas. Guru bidang studinya gak masuk. Of course, semua langsung ambil kegiatan masing-masing. Ada yang nyuci piring, nyapu, ngepel, jemur tilam... EEH.. kok jadi ini?? Ralat!! ada yang denger MP3, gambar-gambar, kombur sana-sini, yah banyaklah. Waktu itu sih, gue pas lagi rajin-rajinnya. Gue baca-baca buku aja. Temen-temen gue, Veronika, Dewi, Romega dan Eka maen kejar-kejaran. Maklumlah, they had a sorrow experince when they were children. hehehe. Jadi, karna cape, Romega dan Eka duduk. Sementara Veronika dan Dewi tetep main. Dewi lari keluar karna di serang oleh monster, yang tak lain adalah Veronika. Vero dapat ide gila buat nutup pintu kelas dan ngurung Dewi di luar.
Tiba-tiba, dari luar ada ketukan pintu. Vero bilang ke kita, "Dewi itu, woii... dewii!!! tutup aja!". Sebagian dari kita hanya melongo. Terus, makin lama pintu digedor makin keras. SUMPAH!! keras banget. Vero tetap aja bersikeras mendorong pintu itu dari dalam. Sementara, pintu juga didorong dari luar. Mereka saling memberi gaya. But Karna, Vero gak sekuat HULK, pintunya agak terbuka. Dan gue liat lengan baju batik. Gue langsung teriak, "woii... pak GR itu!!". Vero langsung terdorong dan pintunya terbuka. JRENG-JRENG-JRENG... Ternyata yang orang yang gedor-gedor pintu bukan Dewi tapi Guru, pak GR. Vero pucat bukan main. "Siapa masuk sekarang????!!!" bentak pak GR. "T...T...TI...TIK.. p...pak!!" jawab Vero gugup. Kami semua nganga karna liat kaki Vero gemetaran. "Gak bisa kalian baca buku kalian??" tanya pak GR lagi. "BISA,, PAK!!" kami menjawab. Lalu setelah ngasih tugas, pak GR keluar. Serentak kami semua tertawa ngakak. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...............
LUCU BANGET!! lucu banget muka Vero yang ketakutan. HAHAHAHA.... Sementara itu, Dewi datang dan bilang, "aku aja tadi terkejut. Datang bapak itu. Jadi bapak itu gedor-gedor pintu. Aku diam aja disampingnya."
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Kami tertawa lagi...
