The Monkey and the Camel

The beasts of the forest gave a splendid entertainment at which the Monkey stood up and danced. Having vastly delighted the assembly, he sat down amidst universal applause. The Camel, envious of the praises bestowed on the Monkey and desiring to divert to himself the favor of the guests, proposed to stand up in his turn and dance for their amusement. He moved about in so utterly ridiculous a manner that the Beasts, in a fit of indignation, set upon him with clubs and drove him out of the assembly.

 

It is absurd to ape our betters.

The simple way to help the environtment  by reducing waste especially the undegradable litter like plastic bags.

Plastic bags is claimed to be degradated between 45 until 1000 years. So, will the litters stay in that period? In fact, it still be in debate how long plastic bags degradated. Some experts even said that it might be take no longer than waiting for the doomsday. It grows stadily, but no reduction instead. Thats why plastic bags build a huge environmental pollution.

There is a big risk whether we pack food especially the hot food with plastic bags. It is very dangerous since its unconcrete substaince melted then mixed within the food. Plastic bags also pollute the food chain as its wasted in everywhere and destroyed the enviromental equilibrium. The undegradable litter poisons the soil, the water, and also the air.

It is needed 430.000 gallons of oil to produce 100 million to 5 trillion nondegradable bags worldwide. The number of plastic bags are produced and discarded anually. The lifestyle requires  the most simple way to do also the cheapest one. Using plastic bags is a great idea but becoming worst for the future.

Recycling is easier cared for environment, it also make an economically enviable. Unfortunatelly, it is almost impossible for trillion plastic bags to be recycled. Burning plastic bags results the pollution in air and the toxic ash. Burying plastic bags destroys the soil content. Discarding plastic bags also pollute our rivers and oceans. At present, there  are no technological method or resources available to decrease and recycle the undegradable litter unfortunately.

Reducing the use of plastic bags is more than just a good idea. Moreover, it can do with having a reusable, washable and durable cloth bags and take them with you when you go shopping. We should reuse our plastic bags and do not try to make it ripped. Let us cut the used of plastic bags for helping the environtment and loving our planet.

Is Having Girlfriend/Boyfriend  Good for Teenagers?

At present, it is common if teenagers have a special relationship. They do love each other, care each other, and act like in couple. In different way, every teenager is undergoing the same case in relationship also the same condition especially physical and mental. Although relationship is concerned with feeling, it is better to look at the logical view.

Teenager is the period that human confuse with theirself. It makes an unstable condition in everything even relationship. Instead of adult, teenagers is more difficult to be understood. They do not know which is right or wrong, bad or good, white or black, etc. This is a dangerous system in life. Their physical and mental development change rapidly moreover their mood. So, this case makes them difficult for deciding something in this period. When they had a broken line, their mental will be made a wager. They can do the stupid thing easily. Hurting each other for example.

As we know, special relationship is an interpersonal relationship of romantic feelings that involves physical or emotional intimacy, also sexual attraction between  people such as  liking and loving. In relationship, they feel need for belonging also need to be cared for. The dangerous thing is whether in relationship, teenagers give full of their heart with a gambling situation. It is not good for their mental development as if  get a broken heart. For their psicho, love is good but not in  that situation. In teenagers relationship, otherwise, they have to be ready to go or stop in hurt or do thing that is none of teenagers business.

Eventhough do special relationship for teenagers is  good for motivating themselves or even destroying, it will be bad if the relation is over. It is difficult to maintain the relation in teenagers. So, we have to deciding whether having relationship is good for teenagers or not.

A. OBSERVING

The Naughty Rabbit

Once upon a time there were four little rabbits. Their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. One morning they were allowed to play outside. Their mother reminded them not to go to Mr. McGregor’s garden because their father had an accident there.

Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail were good little rabbits. They went down the lane to pick blackberries. But Peter was naughty. He ran straight away to Mr. McGregor’s garden. He ate some lettuces, French beans, and radishes. Suddenly, he met Mr. McGregor. Peter was very frightened and rushed away as fast as he could. He lost a pair of shoes and a jacket while he was running. Peter never stopped running or looked behind him till he got home. During the evening, he was sick because he was so tired. He had to drink some medicine while three of his brother had bread, mild and blackberries for supper.

Faster is better story

Once, a cat and a fox were traveling together. As they went along, picking up provisions on the way – a stray mouse here, a fat chicken there – they began an argument.

“you think you are extremely clever, don’t you? “ said the Fox. “Do you pretend to know more than me? Why, I know a whole sack full of tricks!”

“Well,” retorted the cat, “I admit I know one trick only, but that one, let me tell you, is worth a thousand of yours!”

Just then, close by, they heard a hunter’s horn and the yelping of a pack of hounds. In an instant, the Cat was up a tree, hiding among the leaves.

“This is my trick,” he called to the fox. “Now let me see what yours are worth.”

But the fox had so many plans for escape that he could not decide which one to try first. He dodged here and there with hounds at his heels. He doubled on his tracks, he ran at top speed, he entered a dozen burrows, but all in vain. The hounds caught him, and soon put an end to the boaster and all his trick.

 The Fox and the Leopard

The Fox and the Leopard disputed which was the more beautiful of the two. The Leopard exhibited one by one the various spots which decorated his skin. But the Fox, interrupting him, said, "And how much more beautiful than you am I, who am decorated, not in body, but in mind."

Jika Aku Boleh Memilih

Jika aku boleh memilih,

Biarkan aku mendekapmu masih didekapmu dan terus mendekapmu.

Jika aku boleh memilih,

Biarkan tangan ini kau genggam hingga entah

Jika aku boleh memilih,

Aku ingin kembali kepada waktu dimana kita dapat berdua menikmati terpaan goda dera dan canda

Jika aku boleh memilih,

Kuingin sang waktu berhenti satu jam saja

Satu jam saja satu jam saja

Masih bersamamu

Masih bersandar dibahumu

Masih dipelukanmu

Masih dalam erat genggamanmu

Sekejap aku merasa betapa tanganmu masih menggenggam erat tanganku. Aku terpejam. Ya, semuanya telah berakhir. Beberapa waktu yang sempat membuat kita pernah tak terpisahkan. Menopang sebuah pengharapan untuk masih memendam kerinduan, hingga kini.

Kali ini aku bersalah, aku masih merasakan bagaimana kau mengerti aku. Memang rasanya aku bodoh, karena kau membawa buaian kebahagiaan padaku. Sorot mata itu tak akan mampu kulupakan.

Entahlah.. Apa namanya, kurasa.. aku menyukaimu. Juga.

Kurasa... Aku merindukanmu. Juga.

*************

Salah

Tuhan memang telah memberikan kita jalan, bagaimana kita saling menemukan dan bagaimana kita saling  bercerita. Bukan hal yang mudah untuk mendefinisikan apa itu cinta dan kebahagiaan.
Cinta dan kebehagiaan bukan sesederhana definisi di Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia atau Wikipedia. Semuanya mengutik akal dan aku. Aku merasa ada hal yang salah ketika aku merasa benar dan aku diposisi salah. Maksudnya?
Saya tidak pernah tau bagaimana ini hisa dikatakan benar dan bagaimana ini mampu dikatakan salah?
Saya merasa nyaman dengan seseorang yang menjejali saya dengan ribuan cinta dan jutaan kebahagiaan (menurutnya), saya menerimanya dengan tenggang waktu yang sangat lama. Hingga suatu ketika saya dikejutkan oleh seseorang yang mampu menarik saya hanya dalam waktu beberapa saat. Saya bahagia akan keduanya, jujur salah satunya lebih. Saya salah, kali ini dalam posisi. Saya benar, dalam hati dimana saya merasa menemukan kenyamanan. Semuanya nyaman. Hingga suatu ketika saya tidak mampu lagi menyembunyikan signal dalam diri saya. Finally, kepada siapa saya harus hinggap? Tidak ada satupun.

Lihatlah.. Karena pancaran kebahagiaan tak akan pernah keliru.

Saya masih menunggu waktu.

Hidupmu

Kata orang hidup itu pilihan. Ya jika kita diberi pilihan.. All is well. menurut pengalaman saya, hidup tak pernah ada pilihan tapi memiliki path yang sudah di gariskan Tuhan. Apa yang terbaik darimu untukmu bagimu.
Jujur aja ya, sampe sekarang aku ngga tau mau jadi apa. Cita2ku? Nggatau :|
Aku tau diriku, aku bukan orang yang mudah bangun jika terjatuh. Aku tak mau banyak berharap.
Kenali dirimu, jangan telan mentah2 quotes dari orang lain walau sekelas Mario Teguh dan memaksa diri sendiri. Kamu ya kamu. Cuma kamu yang tau bagaimana kenapa dan harus apa dirimu.
Memanglah benar kita butuh orang untuk membimbing, tapi sehebat apapun dia takkan mampu mengerti kamu lebih dari dirimu,


Jika hidup itu pilihan, 
Ijinkan aku memilih..
Jika hidup itu terarah,
Ijinkan aku memiliki mata angin..
Jika hidup adalah hidup,
Inilah aku dan diriku
Terhempas oleh takdir dan tertawa bagai ironi


Apakah kita hanya bercerita untuk mencari pembenara atau mencari jalan? Putuskan!

Spirit Quote

Long time no post anything. I dont wanna make a very long posting eventhough it was many things I want to share.
I found a Big Quotes from my Facebook Friends, but, I was sorry I forget who was him. Once I remember, I will tell you. The statement is "malas tertindas. lambat tertinggal. berhenti MATI." It means if you are lazy, you will be suppressed by other, then if you are slowly, you will be left, and when you stop, you DEAD as soon as possible.
I live my spirit on in read it all along. I am tired, always, yet I tried to do my best and dont waste the time.
