My (Un)healthy Life

Sorry for being so 'silent' in months that caused by my hectic days. Now, I'm going to tell you the way to be smaller, or more slim, or thinner (only thinner sounds like the remover thing) program that I'm in. I hope this could help you as much as it would help me in the next three months ^^.

Every three days in a week, I go to the nearest gym and get an instructor to help me and to tell me what to do. It's really important to have an instructor if you're an amateur. Don't forget to do the warming up before you do the gym program, so the exercises wouldn't be a waste for your body. And also remember to do the cooling down after exercising, because you don't want to feel exhausted the next day, don't you?

Beside the gym thing, try to sleep before 00.00. When you sleep at dawn, all of your exercises don't take effect on your body. It also keeps you fresh the next day. Between the non-gym day, try to do other sports. For me, badminton works well, it's fun and cheap. To be slim, try to eat less snacks than you usually eat. No spicy food too.

The gym program makes you smaller by strengthening your muscles, and the sports helps you burn the fat on the body. The non-snacks-and-spicy-food thing helps you control yourself from consuming more than your body needs. Another important thing is living a healthy life: no smoking, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink mineral water.


But I have an exception for those who has digestive problem like constipation. You could try drinking coffee or tea or milk. For coffee and tea, don't drink more than 2 cups a day, because the caffeine would make your heart beats faster. I myself prefer coffee than tea and could drink it 2 glasses per day. Don't try this at home!

Nyalakan Hijaunya!

"Nyalakan hijaunya!" adalah kampanye gue soal penghijauan kembali (hahaha, kayak gue dah ngelakuin aja). Jadi, karena negara gue saat ini udah abu-abu akibat kekurangan pohon dan kebanyakan polusi, jadi gue berinisiatif untuk mengubah warnanya jadi ijo! Nah, itulah mengapa muncul slogan "Nyalakan hijaunya!". Menyalakan warna hijau ntuh bisa dimulai dengan nanem 1 pohon di sekitar rumah. Sekarang pun gue lagi nyari pohon yang cukup gampang dirawat tapi bisa bikin adem. Tapi karena masih belum kesampean, jadilah gue membuat desain kaos ini dulu. Beginilah itu.

This is it! Sebenernya ini jauh banget dari desain di atas kertasnya. Tapi pesennya tetep sama koq. Kenapa pohonnya warna putih, ya... karena itu tadi, karena di Indonesia sini pohon dah jarang, apalagi di kompleks rumah gue, dah ga ijo lagi keliatannya. Kenapa ada item-item di bawahnya, itu karena polusi yang dah makin marak aja di jalanan & sekitar. Jadi inget, tiap tahunnya, kosan di sebelah gue menambah sekitar 50% polusi dengan mobil-mobil milik mahasiswa baru. Bukan berarti gue ga pengen punya mobil, tapi rasanya bakal lebih enak melakukan sesuatu untuk sekitar dulu baru menyenangkan diri sendiri. Maksudnya, bakal lebih enak nanem pohon dulu, baru punya mobil di umur yang tepat, gitu.

Desain yang ini, menurut gue pribadi, masih sangat tidak memuaskan. Tapi gue masih akan terus berusaha buat merenovasinya. Baiklah! Sekian dulu. Jangan lupa nyalain ijonya! ***

Looking for Artemis Fowl series

Yap! I'm looking for other Artemis Fowl's series in Indonesia. Right now I've had 3 books, and looking for the next series. But I still can't find the 4th book, 5th book, and so on in Indonesia. Even in those foreign bookstores, I still can't find the books. One of my friends who has the books said that she got it in Malaysia. Hahaha.... So far away from here. I'm thinking of online shopping, but it sure must cost quite much. Is there anyone who wants to buy me the books? Hehehe.... 

The main characters in this series are Artemis Fowl himself and a Leprechaun whose name I forget. Artemis Fowl is a very young criminal that sure has a very brilliant brain and very capable to do his crimes, with helps from his bodyguard. He lives with his invalid mother, without knowing where his father is. He never failed to do his crimes, until the day he tried to steal the Leprechauns' golds somewhere over the rainbow, like the myths say. He met this female Leprechaun -- by the way, it's Holly, the name of the Leprechaun -- and must try really hard to get what he wants using his brilliant brain. Since then, stealing will never be as easy as before for Artemis Fowl. Holly will always be on his way. The rivalry between Fowl and Holly is always told on the pages of the books. Eoin Colfer sure knows how to blend scientific facts and fantasies and make it enjoyable. ***

Earlier Kartini's Day

Mengutip status facebook Lidwina Andarini alias Ririn hari Senin tanggal 22 Maret 2010 kemarin:
Kalian musti tau pembicaraan gw sama Levi 5 menit yang lalu xDD
Levi : "Iih, di Take Celebrity Out lagi pake kebaya semua... Kenapa ya??"
Ririn : "Mau Kartinian kali... masi jauh ya?"
Levi : "Lho, bukannya Kartinian udah lewat??"
Ririn: "?! Kartinian kan
21 April...."
Yak! Begitulah kebodohan saya, si orang Indonesia yang ga tau kapan tanggal tepatnya Kartinian. Hahaha.... ***

3B: Body Butter Bali

Temen gw baru aja pulang dari kondangan di Bali (wew, bet that it was a very lovely wedding). Dan seperti biasa, dia bawa oleh-oleh buat kami-kami yang di kosan.

Kalo gw yang baru pulang jalan-jalan, oleh-olehnya paling keripik-keripik gitu. Kalo temen di sebelah kamar gw, bawainnya paling pernak-pernik, begitu pula dengan temen gw yang anak EL.

Tapi kalo yang baru pulang dari Bali ini, emank suka rada-rada ajaib otaknya, hahaha.... Kalo dia baru pulang dari Jakarta, pasti besokannya di kulkas udah ada macaroni schotel ato tiramisu bikinan ibunya. Pokoknya jenis-jenis pasta gitu (makasih banyak, Mamanya Wulan, atas asupan gizinya yang sangat enak...). Jadi, gw kira temen gw yang namanya Wulan ini bakal bawain makanan lagi gitu dari Bali. Tapi ternyata.... Eng ing eng!! Dia membawa body butter!

Beginilah penampilan body butter tersebut. Kemarin yang ditunjukkin ada 4 varian: anggur, jeruk, kiwi, ma white musk. Nah, karena yang anggur ini lucu sekali wanginya, jadi gw ambil yang ini, hehehe.... Ini adalah oleh-oleh paling ajaib sepanjang hidup gw, hahaha.... Thanks to Melati Wulandari for the body butter!

Jadi gw sekarang mulai terinspirasi buat ngasi oleh-oleh yang tidak biasa kalo pulang jalan-jalan lagi. Hehehe.... Once again, thanks to Melati Wulandari. This time for the inspiration! ***
