Yup, pd tanggal 6 Nov gw resmi jd Tati (tante in french). Perasaan gw aneh. Antara seneng n bingung. Gw suka bgt kok ma ank kecil tp mslh di gw adlh gw bukan tipe penghibur. Gw rd susah d bwt ank kecil tsenyum, ktawa maupun ngobrol ma gw. Byk kasus mlh ank2 kecil takut ma gw. Entah kenapa. Yah mang sih gw suka lupa senyum tp kan g perlu sgitunya. Berasa liat hantu aja. Yg gw takutin skrg adlh supaya keponakan gw ndiri hrs akrab ma gw. Mas Raka lucu bgt tau. Secara cucu ptama, ortu gw betah drmh. Bokap brkt kkantornya klo Mas Raka dh djemur *alasan bwt gendong*. Nyokap apalagi, Mas Raka lg tdr pasti dgendong mulu. Gw jg ketularan sih. Karna skrg tidur diatas, jd klo kbwh ad mainan. Cuma karna msh monologue, jd gw cm suka mainin tangannya. Kebal, g bkl bangun jg. Mirip ma bpknya. Mg pas dia bs ngomong dia panggil gw dgn sebutan Tati. Biar beda aja ma yg lain. Boleh donk ).
Dh 2minggu g plg krmh. kgn bgt liat mukanya. Oiy, gw jg dh persiapin scrapbook bwt Mas Raka. Cuma blm siap fotonya aja. Well, Bienvenue Raka Cetta Ganendra. All d best wishes 4 u always. Gros Bissous Mas Raka.

Lirik Lagu Sandhy Sondoro – Malam Biru

Suatu malam yang biru tanpa dirimu
Berjuta juta Rindu ku padamu
Sendiri ku pun harus menikmati
Nyanyian sang rembulan

Engkau yang seharusnya disisiku
Engkau yang slalu ada dihayatku
Semoga kau mendengar lagu ini
Yang ku cipta untukmu

Oh kasihku
Ini ini laguku
Hanya untuk dirimu
Tanda cintaku
Padamu oh sayang

Engkau yang seharusnya disisiku
Engkau yang slalu ada dihayatku
Semoga kau mendengar lagu ini
Yang ku cipta untukmu

Oh kasihku
Ini ini laguku
Hanya untuk dirimu
Tanda cintaku
Padamu oh sayang

Kasihku..
Ini ini laguku
Hanya untuk dirimu
Tanda cintaku
Padamu

Oh kasihku
Ini ini laguku
Hanya untuk dirimu
Tanda cintaku

lg gila bli scrapbook tp blm dbuat. mls ngprint fotonya euy..

Make a Smilebox collage

Stlh ngemeng2 n diskusi panjang kali lebar dthread messages via fb, meski cm smlm, jadilah gw, sesty, nco, alam, eum, sarjem, dwinta n bencong kGarut, yg sharusnya lbh byk yg ikut tp byk yg g bs ..
Tp weekendnya serruuuuuu.. Weekendnya mang gak pke ala hemat, tp jg boros2 amat, pengeluarannya msh tkendali kok.. Kmrn (jumat) stlh alam n eum solat jumat, kita brkt pke mobil nco n ijem.. Karna ada 2manusia aneh yg bs diandalkan bwt nyetir, jd si alam n eum lah yg nyetir nangor-garut-muter2-nyasar-nangor.. hehhe.. MERCI GAYS eeehh GUYS ;p (gw akan tutup mulut kok ttg hub kalian) wkwkwkwk..

Kami berangkat stlh bdoa pd kpercayaan trus karna motto hidup kami HIDUP UNTUK MAKAN (pengaruh tinggal dkt bdg,hobi: wisata kuliner), kami mampir dulu di alfamart brimob dgn hebohnya (nco msuk dgn smgt silverqueen n chitato mpe 2pegawainya bengong karna kaget, gw msk dgn laalala n lilili n membuka pintu dgn ddorong pdhl jls2 perintahnya PULL *g pinter2*). Oiy, mbil nco berisikan nco (iyalah) sbgai co-driver yg buruk, eum sbg driver yg aneh nan mood2an, gw n sesty yg pastinya sbg penghibur mereka dsaat mrk membutuhkan theme song, n backing vocal. FYI, hub management kami tuk info show y. Di alfa bli camilan kyk nasi padang, soto, pecel, loh?!. Abis itu, lsg lanjut ktujuan berikutnya, tanpa ini apalah artinya hidup *lebay*. Ke atm. Tp karna gw n suponco (nm artisnya nco) mls tuk ngantri pnjg jd gw, nco, n eum (titip) memutuskan tuk kere sementara.
Jarak nangor n garut dperkirakan cuma satu jam setengah. Dan alhamdulillah kami sampai satu jam. Sampai Garut, kita fokus bwt cr hotel, masuk-kluar hotel n penginapan skalian numpang pipis yg makan waktu hampir satu jam setengah, fiuh. Kami jatuh cinta ma Banyu Alam (retorika ma alam pke sogokan chacha). Trus alam retorika ma penghuni mbil ijem yg isinya ijem, bencong, dwinta n alam sbg driver menggunakan cr yg sama. Chacha. Trima kasih byk y cha. Sbnrnya kami g mo kluarin uang byk byk bwt tdr doank karna kami hanya semalam n cuma bwt tidur doank. Tp karna g pewe klo hrs nyewa kmr 2 trus g bs leye2, kami mang agak hrs byr dikit mahal bwt Banyu Alam ini. Tempatnya enak bgt, cukup besar bwt b8 lah. Tmpt berendemnya apalagi. Kami menyewa bungalow B dgn harga 525rb (weekend) plus ekstra bed 75rb. Ini ad fto2nya tp syg gw lupa foto kmr mandinya yg cukup bwt berendem 4-5org.

Dgn berat hati kita lsg pulang abis mkn bakso, gw ngerasa dh lama pdhl mah cm semalem *lebayyyy*. Lsg kgn Garut pas ad tulisan Selamat Jalan. Mau ksana lagi. Amien y kawan2.

Ps: kita g lsg pulang denk, mampir ke Rancaekek bwt bli ubi cileumbu. Sumpah enak!biasanya gw g doyan ubi cileumbu.Ubi ini t4nya gak kdalem, dkt SPBU. Pgn lagi.

Keinget “omelan2″ gw g jls td siang ma kdua org tmn gw, slalu memanas klo bau2 Malaysia. Gw yg suka (berusaha) bsikap netral tuk nanggepin bbrp pengklaiman warisan budaya Indonesia ma Malaysia pasti kpancing tuk nanggepin ketidakjelasan tmn2 yg ujug2 g suka ma Malaysia. Mnrt gw, kita sdkit agak aneh bwt teriak2 Malaysia lah yg salah. Dua manusia (tmn gw) ini aja jg g cinta2 amat ma Indonesia. Knapa kalian g ikut demo, jgn cuma duduk bawel ngedumel ngerasa negara kita ini yg benar. Sempit bgt. Mungkin karna mang karakteristik org Indonesia kali y, yg suka menggeneralisasi sesuatu atau seseorang menjadi kesalahan satu instansi atau satu kelompok. Kita jadi korban dari kebebasan dr media massa yg secara g sdr mengatur opini n sudut pandang kita.

APA YG LO LIAT N APA YG LO DGR BLM TENTU BENER KAWAN!

Dan td siang bermula gara2 gw suka Upin&Ipin (kartun dr negara Malaysia). Kita lbh suka liat sinchan yg genit, g sopan ma ortunya, atau ntn nobita yg pemalas. N skali lg kita g berkoar2 tuh ttg sinchan atau doraemon, pdhl sinchan bkn tontonan ank2 karna byk bokepnya. Gw suka ntn itu tanpa gw perhatiin itu dr negara mana, agama apa, suku apa etc. Knapa gw suka?karna isinya ngedidik kok, Upin&Ipin tuh ank yatim piatu yg tinggal ma nenek n kakaknya tp g dceritain kesedihan,sengsara (style cerita di indonesia yg suka “ksh” hburan ma ank2 tp sediiiiihhh smua). Dkartun itu ada pendidikan ttg internet, puasa, hari ibu, kshtn gigi, bkebun (jrg bgt di indonesia). Malaysia dianggap slh gr2 lbh cepat menghak-patenkan bbrp warisan melayu. Kita ketinggalan, wjr aja tetangga yg liat kesempatan lsg nyamber. Trus klo dh ilang br kita mrh2. Pdhl pas brgnya ada kita jg g ngapa2in. PLISS. Kita jg suka anti ntn film buatan ank negeri, berasa bangga aja klo g ntn film Indonesia n berasa gaul klo tau byk ttg dluar Indonesia. Gw yg g tau byk ttg asal muasal warisan yg dklaim tsbt (tmn2 gw jg gak kok) g mo asal sebel aja, kita kan g tau asal asli rendang dr mana, batik dr mana (setiap tmpt,daerah,negara punya ciri khas msg2). Kita cm tau APA YG DIBERITAIN TIVI, KATA ORG n KATANYA (entah NYA itu milik siapa). WTF.

Gw jd ikut2an emosi. MAAF y. Gw cm mo blg jgn cm liat satu sisi aja. Coba ambil sdt pandang dr kedua belah pihak. Gw jg g bmaksud sok tau n sok bnr, sm skali gak, share pndpt aja. So how about u??

lg cari ilham bwt skripsi eh nemu ini

Tulisan ini terinspirasi atas kekecewaan kpd tmn2 yg slalu benci ma mobil bplat B.

Setiap week-end, biasanya Jkt mang “sedikit” lbh sepi dbanding hr biasa, org2 Jkt klo dh lepas dr rutinitas kerja pasti lsg pgn liburan. N karna Bdg tbilang dkt ma Jkt, pergilah mereka kkota Paris-Van-Java alias PVJ. Loh?!. Bisa dbilang gw dh “tinggal” dBdg selama lima tahun (Fiuuhh), jd ya gw tau klo week-end bdg dpenuhin ma wisatawan, n mang sih yg mendominasi mobil2 bplat B.
Trus, tmn gw ini, sbut sj Rose, slalu marah2 pas mbil bplat B ngalangin jlnnya. Sbnrnya normal aja klo mbil itu bingung mo kmn karna mungkin karna bkn kotanya. N g smua mbil bplat B itu org Jkt kan. Plis d! slh satu buktinya tmn kita ada kan yg asli Bdg tp mbil dia plat B, trus kakak ipar gw org Jkt tp platnya D. Curang!!G ad dsrnya!! Klo Bdg macet stiap akhir minggu n alasannya gr2 org Jkt menurut gw g bdasar bgt. Y ud sih cm week-end doank kan, Jkt tiap hari macet aja org2 Jktnya dh g ngeluh lg (udh capek duluan soalnya). Pendapatan kota lo jg sbagian gr2 org bplat B ini bli hsl produk Bdg. GGrrr!

Selama gw tinggal dBdg, mnrt gw Bdg itu kota kecil, karna setiap mau ksuatu tempat, udh jlnnya kecil, jlnnya lwt itu2 aja. Kbanyakan satu arah pula. Klo soal angkot menurut gw smua sama aja, mereka raja jalanan. PARAAAAHHHH!! Tp klo gw phatiin, angkot dBdg tuh byk bgt, satu jln bisa dlewatin ma byk rute. Kyk Bogor kali y. Mlh klo Bogor lbh kecil jlnnya. Klo dBdg tuk mnuju satu tempat yg agak jauh qt hrs naik brapa kali angkot, beda ma Jkt, satu angkot bs mpe Jayapura *lebaaayyy*. DJkt lbh byk bis. Bdg g byk. Oiy, sbnrnya Bdg jg suka mcet kok, Bdg n Jkt sm macetnya klo jam plg kantor, cuma karna Jkt lbh sering dsorot aja jd kliatannya gmn gtu.

Anyway, klo dsuruh pilih mo tinggal dmn, gw akan jwb dgn yakin akan pilih Jkt. Knapa?? karna ad ortu gw disini, karna lap.kja byk disini, karna klo mo ngeluh panas,macet,dsb mlh dketawain. Pengalaman pribadi, klo blg ma sopir taksi trus minta pke cepet n g macet mlh dia blg “sm aja mbak, smua jg macet”, trus ma abg gw jg “yah ta,tiap hari jg macet,klo gtu g kluar2 donk”. Klo lo pinter2 cr jam lo kluar rumah n cr jln alternatif sih g macet2 amat kok. Sbgai org Jkt mah kyknya dh spatutnya terima. Pnh jg ada seorang tmn yg kJkt cm klo ad dinas doank, mungkin karna tbiasa dkota kecil, tp ngeluhnya luar biasa. Intinya g suka n mls bgt ma Jkt. Coba anda fikirkan y tmn, normal donk klo Jkt macet, byk polusi, debu dsb, Jkt kan ibukota negara, pusat bisnis, pdagangan, pkantoran. Normal donk. Kecuali klo lo ngusulin kpresiden, Tasik djadiin ibukota kdua, mungkin lo jg akan ngerasain hal yg sm.

Bkn maksud tuk mrh2 sih, cuma kdg org2 tlalu sempit aja mikirnya. Kota ini menjadi tumpuan khalayak ramai dr segala penjuru negeri guys! Smua numplek dsini

gak mungkin kan ad bahasa sejarah n gw jg hr translate kbhsa sunda )

Never was epic, but sometimes I like to tell myself it is. 

So (I use “so” a lot on here…) I haven’t updated my blog in a bit; that’s because honestly, well, there’s nothing to update and there was no random stuff I could think of to post.

Enjoy this random, spontaneously thought of poem.

… no you won’t, it was bad.

G’day to you all, I surely shall be updating this blog more often soon.

Pusing g lo bc jdl postnya. Itu bhs malaysia. Artinya keliling n bkunjung ke Bali.Aneh tp nyata y. Qta mang satu rumpun,ras melayu, tp klo bhs menurut gw jauh bgt. Bakal susah cr padanan kata2 malaysia-indonesia. Klo menurut qt yg indonesia, pasti malaysia bhsnya tlalu porno,seronok,kasar,polos ato apalah. Tp menurut gw menarik bgt tuk tau ttg bhsnya (bkn karna gw ank bahasa), apa struktur bhsnya sama ma indonesia y??i’ll find out later d. Skrg ini ad beberapa sinetron yg pke bhs melayu, sbnrnya mnrut gw cm logatnya aja yg berubah, tp mereka g pure bsih pke melayu, biasalah kita suka setengah2 klo mo bkin sesuatu. Trus ad kartun Upin&Ipin yg bnr2 dr malaysia, sumpah y klo g pke terjemahan gw bnr g ngerti, karna sering bgt artinya tlalu jauh ma indonesia. Tp lumayan menghibur loh.
Isi post ini g bkal ada ngejelek2in malaysia kok, karna slama mslh peng-klaim-an gw bsikap “sabar”, sbr ma org2 indonesianya n sbr jg ma malaysian. I always zip my mouth when some friends was talking (ujung2nya sih panas) about that.Post ini kan gw bwt pamerin klo gw AKHIRNYA kBali.HAHAHAHAHAHA. Sluruh kluarga gw pnh kBali ms gw blm?heuheu. Jdlah gw kkota Dewata itu slama lima hari empat malam.Liburan ini dadakan bgt, kluarga gw mang bukan tipe kluarga yg slalu menghabiskan waktu libur bwt jln2, biasanya qt seneng makan bareng aja. N biasanya tiap taun qt slalu ributin klo libur lebaran mo kmn. Ujungnya drmh sambil ngebahas liburan org,kondisi macet jln n many more.Tiket dpesen dua hr sebelum lebaran, agak nekad emang, gw aja tau pas ortu gw lg proses pesen tiket. Kbtulan tetangga gw kja dtravel n jg agen tiket garudanya lsg, jd harga tiketnya bs agak murah.Qt pesen 4tiket pp jkt-bali-jkt, yg 1,3jt/org. Tbilang lbh murah klo dbanding lion n batavia pas hr itu cos mereka pp jkt-bali-jkt 1,28 jt. Trus lsg mikirin hotel, ini yg agak ribet karna peak season,pasti akan susah, tp stlh mencari2 dptlah di Bali Summer Hotel ini linknya http://www.akomodasi.net/detilhotel/144/Bali_Summer_Hotel/#rates
tp pesennya jgn dr situ mending hub lsg hotelnya.Qt pesen 2kmr yg bkl dhuni 3org pkmrnya, n harga pernettnya 400rb.Syg bgt gw sempet foto2 dlingkungan hotelnya,lumyan kok,apalagi bwt kluarga. Tp mungkin bs bwt gambaran aja
Ad kolam renangnya kok dbagian depan.Pas sampe Bali, karna kbtluan qt jg brg ma tetangga gw yg org bali jg, jd djemput ma kponakannya n dianterin krmh sodara kdaerah Padang Sambian,Denpasar Barat. Nyokap dr awal keukeuh ksitu dulu karna dh lama bgt g ktmu. Bskkannya qt panggil taksi bwt dianter khotel. Hotelnya cm bjarak 500m dr pantai kuta kok.

G’day and welcome to my newest blog- Katie in America!

To begin with, I better introduce myself. My name is Katie and I’m an exchange student from Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia.

I’m studying a Bachelor of Journalism at Griffith and have always wanted to study abroad since I was around the age of twelve, so coming to Ithaca College this semester is a dream come true.

I’ve started this blog as part of my assessment for my News Writing 1 class, but it will also get me motivated to keep everyone back home up to date with my latest adventures. This blog will give me a chance to assess the major differences between America and Australia, and hopefully keep you all entertained as I discuss American college life, the novelty of being an international student as well as other stuff like food, culture and comedy.

Anyway, hopefully my first post should be up in a couple of days as well as my much delayed travel stories.

Looking forward to blogging with you!

Katie

Hello I hope you are doing well and life is presently at a good place. Writing is one of many forms of communication one that we often place in the basket of leave it for the Pros. I am going to commence blogging/ same may say dribbling. Now this is usually enough to turn many of us away never to return.

As I walk around my local area I am noticing more people with troubled faces this may be as a result of my journey over the hill crest . It is and can be quite easy to prejudge with a fully loaded Ego cannon that these individuals are sad bastards. Cheer up whats to be sad about c’mon lifes great mate ,we are lucky to be alive and all that jazz.

What is the link to use with these pained individuals. I have adopted an open mind and commenced on a journey of greeting and offering a smile with no attachments.  Possibly one of if not the most powerful forces on the planet is this simple but often overwhelming offering from with in.

Try it let me know how you go Iwould be delighted to hear of your time out.

Like my writing begins with G’day your day can also be sparked by enlightening somenones life.

Recently I had been doing some clearing out with the stuff I don’t need anymore and can be given to charities, so practically I was clearing out all the junks…
While tidying and clearing, I came upon a stack of pop magazines (e.g. Top of the Pops, Mizz and Sugar) which my sister didn’t bother to chuck away…deciding to take a break, I started flipping through them (I don’t know what compelled me to do so, as honestly I’m not that big of a pop, rap or hip-hop musics fan, I’m more for rock music…) but I got interested when I realized there were also several interviews with some of my favorite rock bands—Green Day, My Chemical Romance and Lostprophets in the pop magazines…(they were all supposedly ‘exclusive’ interviews with Billie Joe Armstrong, Gerard Way and Ian Watkins…)
However, when I started reading the interviews in my sister’s pop magazines, something clicked in my head, not only because I recognized the interviews from somewhere else before in a bunch of rock-musics magazines such as KERRANG!, Q, NME and Rock Sound and from other online music webs…but also because for some weird reasons, I remembered that the words in the interviews were exactly word for word as the interviews that I’ve read before online and from rock magazines…
So I went to fish out my scrapbooks in which I pasted in the all the magazines cut-outs of my favorite bands (how sad am I, i.,e. the scrapbooks… ), and I then I started comparing the dates the magazines were issued…
Beforehand I already recognized the pictures in the pop-magazines and I knew they were taken by someone else…especially there was this one issue of Sugar Lad-Mag, I recognized instantly the cover photo of Gerard Way which was taken by the professional photographer—Rob Bennett…but the magazine took all the credits and claimed the pictures to be have been taken by one of their own crew…(which I’m already p***ed off about )
Anyway, back to the dates and the interviews comparison, I realized that they (the interviews) were all words for words like as if the words had been copied and pasted from one interview to another. In terms of the dates, I realized the dates the rock magazines were issued, were always way before the dates the pop-magazines (with interviews of Green Day, MCR and Lostpropets in them) were issued.
Now, I started questioning myself, did the pop magazines took clumps and bits of interviews from an assortment of other magazines and then put it all together, and then claiming the credits for themselves, while they are always claiming the interviews to be ‘exclusive’ interviews with the band members? or is it all just a coincidence?
If they are really taking credits for other magazines’ work, are they that ignorant to realize that the fans of the bands would recognize sooner or later the huge flaw that they made???

What do you think?

According to ContactMusic.com…

Green Day actually nearly almost disbanded due to their album— “Warning” poor sale…but luckily they are still together, huh?

Rockers GREEN DAY were so disappointed with the reception to their album WARNING they considered splitting up.
The American Idiot hitmakers released five critically acclaimed discs in the 1990s before coming back with their sixth album in 2000.
But Warning only reached number four on the U.S. Billboard chart and, despite being a hit with critics, wasn’t received well by the buying public.
And the band were so deflated after the release, they questioned whether they would continue making music, according to singer Billie Jo Armstrong.
He tells Britain’s Daily Star, “Back then we had to question ourselves deeper than we ever had, investigate how we felt about each other, how we got on each other’s nerves.
“We had to step it up about 10 notches. The interesting thing about that time was we were playing live shows better than we ever had before. But we never had a monumental record.”

Green Day!!!

Australians are well known for their laid back dispositions, beer drinking and just about any Ozzie you meet with greet you with a “G’day”. I have quickly picked up on the fact that males have “mates” whether they know them or have just met them. Females are still called “sheilla” in the country, but it is not appropriate to use in the city and when you want to know where the washroom is you have to ask for the toilet!

I am Canadian, I speak English, I live in Australia, they speak English. How hard can it be to understand these people? After 8 months of living in this far off country, I am still often at a loss of what is being said.

A few months ago I was talking with an Australian woman in a clothing store and explained to her that I was off to Vegas as my daughter was getting married. “Oh”, she said, “so you’re going to need a cozzie. Do you have one?” I replied ” I have no idea, What’s a cozzie?” She looked at me like I was nuts. Another lady in the store who is Scottish explained to me that this is what Australians call bathing suits. The Australian woman thought this was funny, she commented that she thought “bathing suit” sounded so old fashioned. Cozzie is short for “costume”, which I thought sounded old fashioned. I guess it all depends on what side of the world you are used to!

The other day I was visiting a friend who owns a clothing store (different store, but you can see I spend a lot of time in clothing stores) and a shopper came in to look around. My friend asked if she needed any assistance. She replied “I am just having a squiz”. I had no idea! Did this women need to use the washroom? It turns out it means that she is “just looking”. Who knew! Apparently everyone knew, but me. I have a long way to go before I become known as a local Ozzie!

I have started attending a Bush Poets Society. If you don’t know what a bush poet is, you are not alone. I didn’t know before I met one! A bush poet is an Australian poet who writes about Australian rural life and the Australian bush. There are traditional bush poets such as Henry Lawson and modern bush poets like my friend Peter Mace. Wonderful, eloquent poetry but I usually need someone beside me to translate otherwise the meaning is lost on me. It is a great way to learn Australian vernacular. I now know that a billy is a can that you boil water in for tea. Every meeting is a lesson!

Some things come naturally for me now. I know that you will find kangaroo’s in the paddock (field) and that tyre (tire) is just spelled funny, it still means the same thing. We often have chook (chicken) for dinner, I buy my wine at the bottle shop (liquor store) and it is usually a bloke (man) that sells it to me.

The best part is, Ozzies are willing to give this Canadian a fair go ( a chance) and my life is never boring. I am not just being a galah (silly person), this is fair dinkum (the truth)!

Da var det morgen enda en gang… Og i går var jeg og en venn oppe på MSN til klokken halv sju mens vi lastet ned Photoshop og spilte verdensmesterskap i stuping på MSN… (MSN-game)… Til vi fant ut at vi gjorde en liten feil som gjorde om hele programmet til en 30-dagers prøveversjon… Skal prøve igjen. Nå vet jeg hva jeg skal gjøre

Snart skal jeg og en annen til Ferdinand, en venn og finne på noe å gjøre… Som sagt – ALLE er borte nå i ferien… Det er litt kjipt! Men vi skal i hvert fall ha det koselig og spise noe godt

1. Pertama-tama kenali tubuh sendiri. Berhentilah membandingkan dengan tubuh teman-teman Anda. Saat Anda mengenal cara kerja tubuh sendiri, maka akan lebih mudah untuk memenuhi apa yang dibutuhkannya.

2. Usir rasa bersalah. Makan makanan sehat seperti buah dan sayuran tiap hari. Diet bukan berarti Anda harus berhenti ngemil sama sekali, boleh sekali-kali makan kue dan keripik, tapi dalam takaran yang wajar.

3. Fokus pada makanan yang Anda makan sewaktu Anda duduk menyantapnya. Makanlah perlahan-lahan dan rasakan seperti apa rasanya dengan sungguh-sungguh. Bayangkan perasaan ‘menggigit’ yang Anda dapatkan. Dengan melakukan ini, Anda bukan hanya sekedar makan untuk mengisi perut tapi juga menghargai apa yang Anda makan.

4. Jangan melakukan tindakan ekstrim seperti sama sekali tak makan demi kurus dalam waktu cepat. Yang terbaik adalah makan dalam porsi sedikit, yang mancakup tiga nutrisi yang dibutuhkan tubuh dan dua camilan tiap hari untuk metabolisme yang lebih efisien.

5. Makan makanan karbohidrat kompleks seperti padi-padian penuh, pasta dan buah-buahan untuk menjaga kadar gula dalam tubuh Anda tetap normal. Ini juga berguna untuk membuat Anda tetap bertenaga dan memenuhi Anda dengan serat sehat.

6. Saat Anda merasa ingin ngemil kue atau keripik, turutilah, tapi dengan porsi kecil. Lakukan sesekali saja sampai Anda terbiasa dengan pola makan sehat tanpa ngemil.

SWELL!
Well G’day there this is my first blog post.  I just felt the need to start my first blog post with the word SWELL as it seems to be my word of the moment & I must say I am pretty excited about finally starting my personal blog & yet also a little nervous about whether I can actually be consistent in posting as the web doesn’t need any more out of date sites.
Peace, Happy Reading.
