Some things that make you often burp
Date: 10 October 2022
Monday
The body uses burping to release excess air. It's actually quite common. However, you must exercise caution if burping occurs frequently. Your physical condition might be disrupted, it is feared. A number of factors might result in your body absorbing too much air. Starting with smoking, chewing gum, ingesting fizzy beverages, and quickly eating and drinking.
There are other variables that contribute to gas buildup in the body, though. Knowing the causes will help you control the frequency of burping and keep your body in good condition.
**GERD**
Burping frequently may indicate gastric reflux disease (GERD). When the valve between the stomach and esophagus is dysfunctional, GERD results. Acid from the stomach consequently travels back to the upper digestive tract. That is what makes you feel uncomfortable and gives you heartburn or a burning sensation in your chest or mouth. More saliva is swallowed by the body to quell the resulting burning sensation. Burping is brought on by more frequent swallowing.
**Diabetes**
Diabetes can also contribute to your frequent burping in addition to GERD. issues with health that interfere with the body's capacity to digest meals. Because of the accumulation of food in the digestive tract, gas production is enhanced.
**Certain food items**
There are some foods that enhance the frequency of burping. Onions, cabbage, and peas are a few examples of the food categories under concern. To digest that kind of food, digestive system bacteria need more energy. As a result, you produce more gas than when you consume other kinds of food. Foods high in fat and dairy products might also contribute to this issue. So, cutting back on these foods is a good idea for you.
Celiac illness
The next factor to consider if you find yourself frequently bleating is celiac disease. This is a condition where a person's body struggles to digest the protein gluten. Typically, processed wheat, rye, or barley goods include gluten. Because the immune system tries to deal with the issue, the intestinal wall of celiac disease patients is more prone to irritation. The digestive system finds it challenging to digest food as a result. In addition to belching, celiac disease can also result in other issues like rashes and canker sores.
Angklung musical instrument art
Date: 9 october 2022
Sunday
When we hear the word "angklung," perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is that it is an antiquated musical instrument that is rarely heard or played. An Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since November 2010, the angklung is one of the traditional musical instruments that originated with the Sundanese population on the island of Java, namely in West Java.
Angklung performances as a traditional musical instrument are hardly held or heard. But did you know that a band called Carehal performs, utilizing the angklung as a musical instrument, in Yogyakarta, namely in the Malioboro neighborhood? This musical performance is supported by a number of other instruments in addition to the angklung, including the bass, drum, small drum, and a type of kenong.
Angklung musical performances are more enjoyable to hear when musical instruments are used in conjunction. In this angklung music performance, modern dangdut songs are also played. Many viewers or visitors, both local and foreign, stop to only watch this angklung musical performance since this angklung concert is distinctive and rarely held.
Rusman was a traveler who saw the angklung performance. When he visited Malioboro, this Jakarta tourist acknowledged that he frequently saw this angklung show. He stated that he had truly appreciated this angklung performance since there were none like this in Jakarta, his hometown. People of all ages, especially the elderly, love this angklung event since they haven't heard of a musical performance like this in a long time. Parents reflect on their youth when they see angklung music performances today.
Everyone who hears them wants to dance to the present dangdut tunes and angklung performances. The primary dancer from the Carehal ensemble can also make the crowd appear to dance alongside them. The Carehal dancers dress in distinctive costumes to attract the interest of spectators or visitors. Someone from the Carehal music group will be there to solicit donations from the crowd at the conclusion of each song. The audience is asked to make a serious financial donation for this cause.
In addition, the audience can suggest songs for this angklung musical performance based on what they would want to hear. The audience may already hear the song being played for $1.
Pay attention to your vehicle tires during the rainy season
Date: 8 october 2022
Saturday
One of a vehicle's most crucial parts are the tires. It never hurts to pay heed to advice regarding tire maintenance so that your security and safety are maintained, especially during the rainy season.
Particularly on slick roads during or after rain, the safety element of driving is determined by the state of the tires. As a result, maintaining tire performance is crucial to achieving driving comfort and safety.

To ensure tire safety during the rainy season, take into account the following:
**1. Rotating the tires**
After the vehicle has traveled between 8,000 and 11,200 kilometers, the tires must be rotated or moved. But the replacement also moves the material that was on the outside of the tire to the inside, shifting the location from front to back.
**2. Tire force**
Verify that the tire pressure is set in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure the tires' durability and safety while the automobile is moving at a high speed. Recall that improperly inflated tires frequently rupture or slide, which is a leading cause of accidents.
**3. Mount the new tire on the back of the vehicle**
Replace the old tire with the new one by mounting the new tire on the back wheel. Both cars that drive front, rear, or all four wheels will benefit from having more steady traction on slick surfaces.
**4. Verify the tread size on the tires**
Aim to keep the engraving on the tire tread at least 50% thick. If it is less than that, you need to be cautious or get a replacement right away. Tire grip on the track is closely related to tire cutting. Every three months, make sure.
**So those are some tips that you should pay attention to on your vehicle tires. Because it will be very dangerous if you do not pay attention to it. Worse yet, it can cause an accident to the driver.**

The impact of the rainy season on children
Date: 7 October 2022
Friday
Beginning in early November, the rainy season has officially begun in much of Indonesia. Extreme weather changes typically mark the beginning of the transition period, also known as the period between the dry and wet seasons. One day, the sun was burning hot and, almost simultaneously, the temperature dropped and it began to rain. At the start of the rainy season, this erratic pattern signals the beginning of the climate change transition period.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/GtWtHW708Lg
There are other negative effects of this condition that we need to be aware of, especially for the health of our young children, because they are physically very susceptible to disease. This period not only makes people uncomfortable in their daily activities. Prevention is always preferable to treatment, because health care costs far more than anything else we can think of. Because it is our responsibility as parents to take precautions to ensure that our kids' health is unharmed throughout this extremely stressful time of change.
One of the negative consequences of the transitional period at the start of the rainy season is the heated air from the hot sun that feels stinging quickly and starts to cloud at almost the same moment, and then it rains. a rapid shift in the weather and a decline in health. In order to respond by foreseeing this possibility, parents must likewise exercise greater creativity and wisdom. There is some advice for parents that can be used as a preventative measure so that kids can continue to be active in school, play, and carry out various activities at home normally and avoid the negative impacts of the transition phase.
First, encourage them to drink lots of water and, if necessary, nutritious drinks to replenish body ions lost during the course of the day's activities. This is done to prevent dehydration and maintain a steady level of fluid in the child's body. Prepare kids for school or extracurricular activities by packing mineral water or wholesome, natural isotonic fluids.
Give children vitamin C supplements for endurance, which can be found in fruits, vegetables, or daily dietary supplements. Of course, administering and receiving vitamin C to youngsters requires ingenuity on the part of the parent. For children's appetites, fruits and vegetables can be presented in interesting, humorous, and emotional ways. Fruit juices and kids' favorite drinks might contain supplements.
Third, keep kids' clothing from being too thick and doubled. Ask the child to wear simple, relaxed attire that isn't dark in color and is composed of materials that easily wick away perspiration (especially for outdoor activities during the day). The objective is to ensure that a child's body skin does not perspire excessively and dries rapidly in order to prevent skin conditions like prickly heat and similar conditions.
Fourth, when leaving the house, cover your nose with a mask and get a raincoat ready. When the humidity is extremely low and then occasionally spikes, the air becomes dry and dust begins to fly everywhere. Not to mention the additional, heavily polluted motorway. Children can avoid breathing-interfering pollutants that can enter their bloodstream by donning a mask that covers their noses. Children are protected from the cold and rainy weather by raincoats that are ready to wear whenever it rains.
Fifth, remind kids not to consume beverages that are too hot or cold. It doesn't matter if drinking cold beverages in hot weather serves only to quench thirst and cool the body. Consume sparingly, moderately, and not too coldly. Similarly, avoid giving your child hot beverages during cold weather.The condition of the child's body will really "drop" and become more unstable and prone to sickness when drinks that are too cold or hot are consumed.
Make regular eating and sleeping a habit for kids to ensure that their health is continually maintained. During this transitional period, parents must set an example by handling circumstances involving extreme weather. Invite kids over and train them to do what they want to do well by starting with their parents. The youngster will undoubtedly be loved and followed by his parents with delight, even if they are not questioned if they have seen their actions.

Make your sightseeing trip fun
Date: 5 October 2022
Wednesday
For some people, long distance travel can be extremely tiresome at times. Actually, we can make our vacation more fun if we can plan and manage it correctly. Not only for ourselves, but also for those who go with us, such as friends, family, and other relatives, we may make the trip fascinating and memorable. You can have so much pleasure going to work, going to school, going back to your hometown, visiting family, going to a location of recreation, and so on.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/Jpqj4r3RMOM
First of all, it will be more enjoyable to go with our close friends rather than alone. We can be joined by family members, such as cousins, brothers, sisters, nieces, or even our parents, in addition to our close friends. Our travel can be enjoyable with friends by sharing, conversing, telling stories, and making jokes.
After feeling like you have a traveling companion, you should examine the vehicle before leaving to allay any anxieties you may have about a car, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle breaking down unexpectedly on the highway. And if we take public transportation, be careful to pick a business that puts passenger comfort and safety first.
After reaching your destination for sightseeing, you can enjoy yourself with your buddies. Making documentation of the trip we are on is one approach to try to get rid of boredom when it strikes. We can document our travels with pictures or videos. We might one day take pleasure in the outcome of the documentation we have produced.
We will undoubtedly feel exhausted after a full day of touring tourist attractions. Don't forget about your family when you get home. If we passed by tourist attractions, we could come across hawkers selling different types of gifts. We can create local wares that we can offer to friends, neighbors, and family as mementos of our trip. You can haggle the price before purchasing, because it's possible that the seller raised the price several times before it was presented to us. The cost of goods or food at tourist attractions is typically very expensive.
And the most important thing when we travel somewhere, don't forget to pray to always be given safety and always be careful. Get plenty of rest before you go on a long trip because it's very important. If you drive a car or use a motorcycle, it will be very dangerous if you fall asleep in the middle of the trip. Always be careful and make your trip and vacation enjoyable.

Curiosity about the golden sunrise of Mount Prau
Date: October 4, 2022
Tuesday
The beauty of the sunrise on Mount Prau, also known as the "Golden Sunrise," and the mountain's climbing route are two reasons why it is currently a very popular mountain with both domestic and foreign tourists. Mount Prau also offers an amazing morning view. very welcoming to newcomers.
Beginners can ascend to the mountain's summit through the Dieng Wetan post in around 3 to 4 hours. The trek to the top only takes two to three hours if it begins from the Tapak Banteng post.
Even though the climbing route will seem very far, climbers can estimate the time to arrive before the peak in the afternoon, and around 5–6 pm, we are presented with a view of the sunset through the very beautiful body of Mount Prau, with a view of Mount Slamet in the west, whose body part is covered by white clouds. However, many climbers choose the hiking route through the Dieng Wetan post.
We must instantly erect a tent after reaching Prau's top since hundreds, possibly thousands, of climbers will swarm the mountain's slightly sloping peak's curves. If we're lucky, we might be able to pitch a tent with a view of Mount Sumbing and Mount Sindoro, which are proud mountains in the northeast.
Unfortunately, my trip and my friends' yesterday were unlucky because the anticipated sunrise never materialized because it was obscured by the dense fog that covered the atmosphere. Up until 7 a.m., the fog had not yet cleared from the sun's field of view, preventing us from taking advantage of the heat of the morning sun. It is also regrettable that mountain climbers, who "may" be doing so for the first time, have to throw away or not bring back the trash they produce, which can range from food waste (inorganic) to paper that has been purposefully written for them to display to the public, up until the wind becomes too strong.
When the weather is good, the savanna meadow will give those who look at it a shady color, but when the weather is bad, we will be presented with dust grains that fly due to strong winds, which will undoubtedly make climbing both to the top and descending from the peak difficult through the terrain. Because of this, Mount Prau has a very peaceful atmosphere. At the top of the mountain, we are presented with a very wide view of the savanna meadow.
On our way there on the day of our return, we diverged from the hiking trail and crossed the Tapak Banteng route, which is well-known for its steep slopes on Mount Prau but is still passable. Many climbers decided to descend at the same time during the day, which caused a halt in the climbing route. In addition, many climbers, both women and men, slipped along the descent path at Patak Banteng due to the slippery surface caused by the ground. It is advised to be careful when descending the mountain on this path as it has now started to break into dust.
**Well, so that's my story while climbing Mount Prau, I'm still not satisfied with the results. Yes, what can I do, I will try it another time to be able to see the phenomenal golden sunrise on Mount Prau.**
Easy way to grow cucumber
Date: October 3, 2022 Monday
Cucumber is a fruit that is commonly transformed into vegetable dishes and used as a condiment in a variety of foods.beginning with fresh vegetables, salads made with vegetables, and stuffing vegetables into hamburgers.
The Cucurbitaceae family of plants includes the cucumber, which has a variety of health advantages. This fruit, which is high in water content, offers cleaning, cooling, and diuretic qualities that are good for the skin.
The cucumber plant itself can be grown without the need for specialized gardening knowledge. For anyone who enjoys eating or using cucumbers for skin care, this is advantageous.
**Here are some simple methods for growing cucumbers.**
**It begins with the proper soil**
Before planting this nutrient-rich plant, check the soil you're going to use, just like you would with other gardening tasks. To improve the soil for sowing, mix an inch or two of organic compost onto the top layer.
**Immediately Plant Cucumbers**
Spreading cucumber seeds directly into the ground is advised by Trimble. Cucumbers grow well from seed, just like pumpkins and melons do. Cucumber seeds germinate quickly.
**Seeds can be purchased, but why bother?**
To be completely honest, I've never seen the point in spending money on cucumber seeds. Make a six-to eight-inch mound of earth and plant the seeds by arranging three cucumber seeds in a triangle. Plants can get rather big, so make sure to give them enough room.
**Sunlight and water**
Cucumbers thrive in warm temperatures and direct sunlight. Give the cucumbers one to two inches of water per week when watering them. If you're unsure, poke your finger approximately an inch into the ground to see if the soil is dry underneath. For best absorption, sprinkle water first thing in the morning. Make sure the water being given isn't too much as well.
The cucumber will swell and become liquid if it absorbs a lot of water. So, once they reach the fruiting stage, be careful how much water they receive.
**No need for a fence as a buffer**
Because cucumber plants are vines, they will encroach on anything in their path. However, despite how much it helps, according to Trimble, a strut is not necessary.
**How to Stop Cucumbers from Yellowing**
It's crucial to comprehend the typical issues you can run into when learning how to produce cucumbers, such as the yellowing of the cucumbers. When a cucumber turns yellow, improper pollination is to blame. To spread the pollen between the blooms, you can assist her by using a brush with gentle bristles. Alternately, plant herbs, flowers, and vegetables close to cucumbers to attract pollinators.
If they are left out for too long and become excessively ripe, cucumbers can also turn yellow. Check the plant periodically to prevent this, and only pick the cucumbers when they are firm and dark green to medium in color.
Making coconut bonsai
Date: October 1, 2022
Saturday
Do not consider this one tree to be simply valuable as a plant that yields coconut milk or oil. The term "coconut" is frequently used in scientific contexts to refer to the fruit or stem of the plant, with numerous health benefits for people. Coconut can be utilized in the art of dwarf plants, specifically bonsai, in the realm of decorative plants.
**Bonsai made with coconuts**
You must learn how to construct a coconut bonsai in a variety of ways, but first you must select the right kind of coconut for bonsai. On a coconut tree, creating a bonsai takes time and patience, which cannot be observed from the shape of the tree. On this occasion, I'll explain a few steps that need to be taken before beginning to construct the coconut bonsai.
**Which Coconut Tree Varieties Are Ideal for Bonsai?**
Sometimes, novice bonsai hobbyists who are not intentionally harassing or insulting are caught up in the answer to this question. We merely want to demonstrate the method and possibilities of shaping a coconut tree into a flawless bonsai. The ivory coconut variety is the best variety of tree to utilize for bonsai on coconut plants since it has unique characteristics in the fruit and midrib as well as shiny yellow leaves as opposed to green coconuts generally. Since they produce outcomes that are almost identical, i.e., the same form but different colors, other varieties of green coconut truly have the same quality potential.
**How to Make a Coconut Bonsai Conch Art?**
The process of creating a coconut bonsai has several core elements that must be taken into account. These elements explain why the coconut life cycle, which begins with the coconut fruit as the starting point, develops roots, stems, and bonsai leaves.
**The Process of Making a Coconut Bonsai**
Here are some methods for making it. Coconut trees have a natural process that we will alter and modify into the journey of a coconut tree into a masterpiece.
**Planting coconuts to harvest bonsai seeds**
The first step in this activity is to create bonsai seedlings. Coconut bonsai seeds can be obtained by planting coconuts or uprooting seedlings from a small piece of nature. We must be careful while taking from nature to avoid impeding the tree's ability to adapt to a new environment and media. You can plant coconuts by using old, dried-out coconut seeds and then peeling or cutting the top side of the coconut where the shoots will sprout.
A simple test is to submerge an old coconut in water; once it floats, the top of the fruit will show signs of shoot growth. After this, plant coconut seedlings in soil before transferring them to a pot, and water the fruit every two days to hasten the development of the first shoots.
**Root Development**
The fibrous nature of coconut tree roots actually makes it easier for us to have a high chance of survival. Coconut bonsai roots can be formed from the very beginning of planting. But if roots are chopped erratically and without technique, bonsai life will be disrupted. The roots must be neatly and orderly elevated on the soil's surface once the bonsai is alive and has fully living roots by cutting the wild roots.
**The formation of a coconut bonsai stem**
Because the leaves and midrib do not change quickly, or if they are not fertile or healthy, the coconut bonsai stem cannot be made (elevated) if it is not fertile or healthy. The coconut is placed first once the desired stem height is achieved, before dwarfing or decreasing the midrib in order to retain the size and shape of the coconut bonsai.
**Choosing a Coconut Bonsai Style**
Highlighting the fruit or coconut seeds is one option, as is highlighting the roots, stems, leaves, and other plant parts. With the exception of one, if everything is completely developed from the roots to the fruit, the price is up to the audience's taste.
**These are the general considerations that must be made when creating and sculpting coconut bonsai; hopefully, they will be helpful to you all. Without constant work, nothing is flawless. Investigate and experiment to produce the ideal outcome.**
Reasons why adult cats like to flee their homes
Date: 30 September 2022
Friday
You can't just sit still if your cat constantly tries to flee the house. Find out what causes ringworm and how to treat it rather than ignoring it. Cats are basically animals that are sensitive to direction and can go home even if they don't immediately want to. Because domestic cats are less sensitive than stray cats, you can't guarantee that for that particular breed. The age of the cat appears to be a deciding factor in its desire to flee.
Typically, escapist behavior is seen in 1-year-old male cats and 6-month-old female cats. Cats require a partner to mate with because they are in heat at that age. Therefore, you must take action to avoid becoming pregnant against your will. You might be able to neuter the cat or choose a cat to mate with.
Cats prefer to leave the house for a variety of reasons, including the need to reproduce and the urge to hunt and try to catch prey. Additionally, domestic cats still have the genetic urge to patrol their area, venture outside to breed, and hunt for prey.
Cat males frequently mark their territory with pee spray because they are constantly on the lookout for hazards within and outside the house. Especially if they are aware of other cats that prefer to stroll around the neighborhood around their house.
**How to handle a cat that attempts to flee**
You can't change a cat's instinct to explore and locate the ideal vantage point for viewing its territory. Giving your cat a few habits will help you get around this and prevent the cat from escaping the house.
The first method involves employing an interruption like "SSST!", loud voices, clapping, and other directives to eject the cat from the departure location. This idea seeks to make the entryway area unpleasant and off-limits to cats.
Many cats prefer not to step on surfaces like sticky paws or aluminum foil (double-sided tape). To prevent the cat from approaching, you can put it under the door. You may also be able to use a deodorizer to keep the cat away from the entryway area. Orange and lemon scents are not appealing to cats.
But if you want to keep the cat entertained, you need to offer other options. You may provide a cat with the most exquisite location to rest. The cat tree is best placed on the wall facing the window in the room. To make the cat more at ease, you might stow food or catnip inside the bed.
If your cat manages to flee the house despite all your efforts to keep it in, make sure it is safe. Use a necklace that is marked with the cat's name, your name, your address, and your contact information. Make sure the necklaces you wear can be removed so they can be removed if they become tangled.
Additionally, you must post a warning sign in front of the entrance so that anyone who has just entered may see it and quickly close the door so the cat doesn't escape. Maintain your cat's immunization records and give them regular doses of heartworm and flea treatments.
Missing childhood
Date: 29 September 2022
Thursday
Childhood experiences will always be cherished. We will always have memories of the days and years we spent as kids. Of course, we can all think of a story from our youth that stands out in our minds.
I'm always grateful to have gone through each stage of life, especially the one where I was a child. Many people believe that childhood is the most beautiful period of life since it is filled with laughter and jokes, allows children to express themselves freely, and is a period that will never come around again. I feel the need to return to that period when there was only joy and no burdens.
Just as I had a little different upbringing from others, everyone has a unique childhood. Whereas during my youth, my parents were always by my side, doing many new things with their love and affection. Ever since I was a baby, my parents had to relocate abroad in order to obtain a better profession. My grandparents are the reason I live with them, and I know how much they adore me.
I recall my grandma, who always looked after me, prepared me milk, rocked me to sleep, and always took me on her vintage bicycle until I had to go to school. When I was in elementary school, I always studied after class for the lessons that were taught at school and the lessons that were scheduled for the next day.
Like any child in general, what I often do as a child is play with friends. Because I live in the countryside, usually after school my friends and I will go to the rice fields to look for fish in the irrigation around the rice fields. Sometimes we also bring a very simple fishing rod made of bamboo.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/cI949H7mx3E
We fished until late in the day, occasionally going for a swim in the river. Sometimes we torched the fish we had earlier caught after we had finished swimming. We all promptly ate the fish after it was cooked. We had to go as soon as it got dark since, of course, the parents at home would be concerned if we were out too late.
What's more fun is when Sunday comes. My friends and I are off school on Sundays, so of course we can play to our heart's content all day long. When I wake up on Sunday mornings, I will immediately run in front of the television to watch a card movie or anime on TV. My favorite cartoon is Tom and Jerry, and my favorite anime is Naruto.
Yes, childhood is very fun. We can freely play as we please. It's just that if we make mistakes, of course, our parents will reprimand us. But it doesn't matter because it will allow us to learn.

The beauty of the peak of Sikunir in the land above the clouds of Dieng
Date: 28 september 2022
Wednesday
In the Sejajar District of the Wonosobo Regency of Central Java, at a height of 2,306 MDPL, lies a hilltop known as Sikunir Hill Peak. Sembungan hamlet, one of the highest communities on the island of Java, is located at that altitude.
I left Cilacap, the city where I currently reside. My friends and I traveled to the summit of the Sikunir hill to take in the breathtaking view of the nation above the clouds. We finally arrived at the first halt after a roughly four-hour motorbike ride through one of the neighborhoods in the adjacent sub-district to change into warm clothing before climbing Sikunir hill.
After getting ready, one of the tour guides there directed my companions and I to board the shuttle van and continue the trip to the summit of Sikunir hill. We finally reached the Sikunir hill's base after 45 minutes of driving, where we stopped to rest for a while before proceeding to the top.
At 03.30 WIB, after taking a short nap, we hurried up to the top of Sikunir Hill, which was 800 meters away, to witness the golden sunrise and take in the expansive view of the nation above the clouds. We had to use illumination and take precautions as we ascended because it was dark and the hiking track was bordered on the right and left by cliffs and ravines.
We finally reached the summit of the Sikunir hill after approximately 30 minutes of hiking, where we rested and awaited the sunrise that would be visible from the top of the Sikunir hill in the east. While we waited for the sun to rise, the 13C air temperature at the summit of the Sikunir hill did not dampen our spirits. My companions and I are astounded by the beauty that is displayed before our eyes as the sun rises in the east from the pinnacle of the Sikunir hill, where we can see the sea of oceans of clouds while the sun is still shyly rising.
In addition to a panoramic view of the sea, clouds, and sky, when we watched the sunrise, Sikunir Hill's surrounding range of mountains, including Mount Sindoro, Sumbing, Merapi, and Merbabu, came into view. The scenery that is displayed makes us appreciative of the natural beauty that the creator has provided.
After spending a few hours admiring the view and taking pictures on the Sikunir hill, we hurriedly descended to enjoy some Dieng specialties served by neighborhood vendors as we made our way to the foothills of Sikunir, including Carica candied fruit, Dieng traditional potatoes, Ongklok noodles, and one serving of satay, which is a filling alternative to searching for Golden Sunrise Sikunir Dieng.
One of the most popular natural landmarks in Dieng, Central Java, that is frequently visited by visitors is the summit of Sikunir hill. The trek was rather exhausting, but it was well worth it because of how chilly the air was and how stunning and unforgettable the scenery was. We felt at home and wished to return there because of the range of distinctive culinary features and the warm locals and business owners.
The right thing to do at the age of 20
Date: 27 september 2022
Tuesday
The age of 20 is frequently cited as being the most critical and significant age. You go through a transitional period at this age that defines the course of your life and the level of success you will have. You will feel like an adult at this age since you can support yourself financially, you are working and pursuing a career, and you already have guiding ideas for your way of life.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/Dl9DC5MDYOQ
The maturity cutoff is 20 years old. Psychologically, a person is deemed capable of planning, making decisions, and understanding the effects of those decisions after they turn 20. Therefore, you must be aware of how to conduct yourself and the choices you must make as a 20-year-old. That's because your 20s will forever change who you are.
**What choices should you make now that you are 20 years old?**
**1. Schedule time for your loved ones and family.**
You'll start to find it challenging to define priorities in your 20s because you're doing so many activities. You are mired in a routine as a result of your attention being on your career and financial success. Avoid spending precious time with your family and closest friends; you'll regret it when you're older.
Make time for your loved ones despite your busy schedule. Your family and closest friends will be there to support you and help you rise during the difficult times and when you fall short of achieving your goals.
**2. Develop relationships and networks**
Don't waste your twenties by being ineffective and lazy. Do not be embarrassed or lethargic when meeting new people. The ability to network is now a requirement if you want to succeed in realizing your goals.
**3. Increase your understanding of your hobby**
We frequently repeat daily activities when we are busy. Because we become too accustomed to the same pattern, the same routine can cause us to lose the "desire" to attempt new things. Try to glean fresh ideas from your favorite items.
For instance, if you enjoy reading, consider joining a book club in your city where you may participate in book discussion activities and make new acquaintances.
**4. Practice patience and stop worrying**
It makes sense that you would want to advance significantly and quickly in your 20s. In an effort to pursue your dreams more quickly, you do a lot of things at once. You'll consequently grow irritable and have a propensity for feeling stressed out.
Adopting the "one step at a time" philosophy will help you develop patience during the process. In this way, you can prevent stress, which is bad for your health.
**5. Learn as much as possible**
Because people have a tendency to stop learning as they become older, their brains stop developing, which is the cause of senile dementia. Spending your youth pursuing money and social status should not come at the expense of educating yourself. It's also very helpful for you to pursue your dreams of being resourceful, which you may do by continuing to learn and improve your abilities.
**6. Surround yourself with positive people.**
Although you have the freedom to pick who you hang out with, one of the best choices you can make in your 20s is to choose healthy relationships. Keep yourself in the company of motivating individuals to keep moving forward. Get close to those who never forget to share everything, especially wisdom.
Your environment and the friends you choose to surround yourself with more or less shape your character or personality. Therefore, it's crucial to choose friends carefully.
So if you are now 19 years old, get ready to start taking responsibility for your life ahead. A good future certainly begins with the formation of good character when the person is developing.

There is a proverb that says "So be like a rice plant, because the more it contains the more it bows down". When the rice plant has grown large, the more the load of the rice seeds is getting heavier. If it is getting heavier, of course, the rice plant will bend down. This is because the trunk of the rice tree is made of rice leaf structures that support each other. In contrast to empty rice seeds that do not contain, although it seems that rice seeds bear a lot of fruit because they do not contain the rice tree will remain upright.
This is a parable for people who have knowledge, are educated or experienced. The higher one's knowledge should be, the person should be wiser in using it. This does not mean that if someone has a lot of knowledge, he must be arrogant, easily deceive people, and even worse, to commit crimes. Sometimes a person who has higher knowledge than the people around him will be more selfish and will act according to his own will.

Often a person has high knowledge just to be arrogant, to get empathy from others or to get degrees.
People who really already have a high level of knowledge will not actually do that because they know better how they are before and after learning. Of course after they master a field, they tend to use that knowledge wisely, not to deceive people and they may share their knowledge with others.
Someone who really learns from what they did not understand before and is able to appreciate the gift of knowledge given to him will certainly be more humble to people who are still laymen. So people who are knowledgeable and humble will be more humble and choose to stand on an equal footing with others.
People who are more knowledgeable will also have more respect for others and choose not to mention things that the layman may not know. The person will only answer what they know well and will not add things that they do not know.
In addition, most people who are highly knowledgeable will think twice if they want to advise others and they will also see who they would advise. That's because he doesn't want his rank to be higher just because he has a higher education than the person he will be advising. If the person is older and more experienced than us, we should just listen to his complaints and give only options to solve the problem instead of giving him advice.
So, for those of us who are still learning and not knowledgeable enough, just be quiet and watch if someone who is smarter and more experienced is speaking in front of you. Appreciate, pay attention and just absorb the knowledge he shares with us.

Getting rid of scaly aquarium glass
Date: 25 September 2022
Sunday
Everyone who owns an aquarium should be able to clean the glass. The aquarium won't always be clean, so that's the explanation. Due to the sedimentary stains, the aquarium will eventually become crusty and opaque. As a result, you cannot fully see the beauty of the exquisite ornamental fish in it.
Fortunately, cleaning aquarium glass is simple when utilizing either specialized tools or items found around the house. Additionally, you can clean the aquarium without draining it.
However, I personally like to drain the tank and refill it with fresh water. Once a month is the most typical frequency for changing the aquarium's water.
You can clean the crust that is clinging to the aquarium after the water has been drained from it. You can use lime, vinegar, and toothpaste to make it simpler for you to scrub the crust that is adhered.
Use vinegar to clean
Vinegar's acidity makes it a highly effective cleaner for aquarium glass. You can combine vinegar, alcohol, and water, or you can use just vinegar and water.
The ratio for vinegar and water is 1:4, while the ingredients for additional alcohol are 1 cup of each and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Spray the mixture on the aquarium's dry glass surface after putting it in a spray bottle.
After 15 minutes, brush the area thoroughly. If the surface has been thoroughly rubbed, rinse it under running water, then repeat the procedure if any stubborn crusts remain.
Use of lime
You can also use natural materials like lime to clean aquarium glass. Due to its antibacterial properties, this fruit is frequently used as a cleaning option. The acid component can also remove crust and moss from aquarium glass. It is quite simple to use. Starting with soaking the tank, pins can brush the crusty area until it lifts. After that, squeeze some lime juice on the area you previously brushed. After letting it stand for a while, brush again until all the dirt is removed.
**Putting toothpaste on**
Toothpaste can also be used to clean the crust on the aquarium. Simply apply toothpaste to the crusty glass to complete the procedure. After that, let the toothpaste dry for some time.
The crusty surface is then scrubbed with iron wool in the following phase. Feel free to brush vigorously until the crust comes off if the scale is difficult to remove. Rinse with fresh water if you notice that the crust has lifted.
The iron coir employed is a type of coir that can be used to clean greasy kitchenware. It is available in the mini-mart; it is advised to wash it first before using this iron fiber.
These are some of the techniques for cleaning aquarium glass with basic tools and equipment. To remove scales or moss adhering to the glass, you can also include fish that remove scale, such as broom fish or species such as red fins if your aquarium contains ornamental fish. However, if the fish in your aquarium contain predatory fish, you can add palmas.
Stop complaining and stay grateful
Date: 23 September 2022
Friday
Humans will not be separated from problems in their lives. Day after day in the life we go through there will definitely be problems that come. Of course this will be fatal to ourselves and can lead to feelings of sadness, anger, so not confident and worse the person can become desperate because of the problems he is facing.
This is certainly experienced by everyone, both parents and young people, but most of the people who always complain are young people. Nowadays young people are very easily confused, whether it's because of school problems, work, love problems and maybe also financial problems or their income is always lacking.
Many young people today complain about their love and financial problems. That's natural because the thoughts and experiences of young people are certainly not broad.
Rejection from love is something that makes the person complain, get frustrated and even despair. Then there are also many young people who complain because they are tired of working and complain because the pay they get is not in accordance with the fatigue they get when they work.

**Then what should be done so that you don't continue to complain and be grateful?**
For young people who like to complain actually because they are not too grateful for what they have got. Suppose that person already has a boyfriend and then they get married, after marriage that person will feel dissatisfied with his partner in the form of an excuse. Or maybe the person has a job but keeps complaining about being tired from work.
Thinking like this is what destroys the mentality of the younger generation to develop. In essence, we are just grateful for what we have. By being grateful for the results of our hard work, even if it's a little, we will definitely feel fulfilled with what we have.
We can get up and look at the people around us, there are still many people who are struggling compared to you. So use your heart and mind to always be grateful for what you have now.
If you feel difficulties in life, try to be patient. That way your heart and mind will be at peace so you can find solutions to the problems you face. Because a person's mindset can be determined by that person.
Life is actually beautiful as long as we know which path we are going to take. And don't forget to always be accompanied by prayer and gratitude and don't complain.

Lying too often is the cause of sick people
Date: 22 September 2022
Thursday
For those who like to lie down, they will find a comfortable position to move while relaxing. This condition occurs a lot nowadays, starting from school, work, and hobbies that can be done from a comfortable place such as a room. This is also supported by increasingly sophisticated technology.
However, if left for too long, this comfort can have a negative impact on your daily lifestyle. Although it sounds trivial, a sedentary lifestyle, or what is commonly called a sedentary lifestyle, can cause some bad effects for the brain and health. In this modern era where people can do work easily. This of course also affects the health of people who rely more on tools to work than work manually.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/CwIU33KGToc
For example, for housewives who will wash clothes, those who can afford a washing machine would prefer to use a washing machine to wash their clothes rather than washing them manually. Actually, if it is done manually, it can certainly make our bodies healthier because they move more often.
Technology really helps us in doing something precisely to speed up our work. But don't forget to exercise so that our bodies are healthy and the most important thing is that our muscles are stiff because they often lie down.
**There are several diseases that can attack people who lie too often or are lazy to move.**
**1. Heart Disease**
To pump blood throughout the body the heart requires a lot of physical activity in order to work optimally. However, if the body is less active and spends a lot of time lying down, your heart condition can weaken. Not only that, fat deposits in the body that are not burned can also make the heart's performance heavier and can result in weakening heart function.
**2. Obesity**
People who are lazy to move will usually be obese. This happens because the amount of dietary fat that enters the body is not balanced with fat burning through exercise or activity. Of course this will make the person obese and will be susceptible to other diseases.
**3. Can have a stroke**
Lack of physical activity, can be a cause of blockage of blood flow because the muscles are not actively stretching. Regulatory nerve cells in the brain can also weaken because they don't get enough oxygen from the blood. Therefore you must always do activities so that our muscles can stretch.
**4. Having a headache**
This incident is experienced by many people who sleep too much. Sleeping for long periods of time has a negative impact on your brain causing you to experience migraines upon awakening.
Those are some diseases that can attack you if you are lazy to move. So if you don't have work at home, you can do other activities or exercise even if it's only for a while.
Health is indeed very expensive and expensive goods will definitely be difficult to get. So before we get sick because we are lazy to move, we better force ourselves to exercise so that the muscles in our bodies can stretch.

Changing guitar dryer
Date: 21 September 2022
Wednesday
For those of you who like music and like to play guitar musical instruments, of course, you will always take care of and maintain your guitar. Yesterday I bought a guitar dryer set at shopi for about $4. And I also bought 2 sets of guitar strings to replace my rusty guitar strings.
After the goods arrived at my house, I immediately removed my old guitar strings to replace the broken guitar dryer. The last time I broke my dryer was tuning the guitar. Maybe because in the past I bought a second guitar from someone else and by that person this guitar was not maintained which eventually made the gear on the drayer rust and break when holding the guitar strings that were already in the stem.
After being removed one by one, don't forget to clean the guitar so that it is more well-maintained and comfortable to play. There was a slight problem when I removed the guitar drayer for string number 6 because the bolts were selected. So I had to break the old drainer so I could replace it with a new one. After removing the old dryer, I immediately installed it with the new one.
After everything is installed, unfortunately, I immediately put the strings that I bought. I use 0.10mm strings, actually the sound is better using 0.09mm strings, but when using a standard steam guitar it is very easy to break. And for this time using strings from the Fender brand, although at a low price, these strings have good quality.
After everything was installed I immediately tuned the guitar and it was ready to be played with my friends. For those of you who like to play guitar, keep the spirit in music even if it's just for entertainment for ourselves and don't forget to always take good care of your guitar.

Science alone is not enough for real life
Date 20 September 2022
Tuesday
Humans are the most intelligent creatures among other living creatures. Humans are equipped with reason that is able to think great in their lives in the future. Since the first time we were born into the world, of course our parents hope that someday when we grow up we are able to become smart human beings in a field that we want.
On average, in developed countries, children aged 3-4 years have been taught how to speak well and some have even been taught how to read and count by their parents.
Then when they are 5-6 years old, they will start entering elementary school to learn and focus on basic sciences such as reading and writing.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/ORDz1m1-q0I
The teaching and learning process that is carried out in every school in various countries certainly has a different way. Especially in developed countries, usually have very few learning hours in schools. Although school hours are very few, students in developed countries can be more effective in the lessons their teachers teach.
The government in a developed country makes rules for fewer student hours and not without reason, they already know that the potential of the student's brain will understand the lesson faster and can focus on the lessons explained by the teacher.
After graduating from school, of course this is just the beginning for them to become full-fledged people by thinking about how to survive in real life. Living without depending on parents' wealth, being able to work to make money, being able to save money from work, getting married, having children and being able to send their children to a high level and have a good career.
Of course it is not easy, even though we are also graduates from universities, not everyone is able to have a good career. Whereas people who graduate from college will have a good opportunity to get a good career because they have a diploma and of course high knowledge.
In this case I have heard soccer player cristiano ronaldo once say 'It's not enough to have talent if you don't train hard'. We know that everyone must have talent, whether it's talent in sports, singing or acting if we don't practice these talents, it certainly won't make us more successful in these fields. Professional players must also train their talents with hard work so that they can be better than others. Because we know that nothing in this world is instant.
In essence, if we have high knowledge but we have minimal work experience, believe me that people like that will only talk without proving it themselves. Because real life is real work, not just relying on knowledge. We will need experience, mentality, good attitude and a lot of knowledge if we want to have a good career for our real life.

Monday
Most people really underestimate to drink water in everyday life. Behind the simplicity of its appearance, water is not only useful for preventing body dehydration, but also has various other advantages. Other types of drinks, such as soft drinks, are high in sugar and calories so they can increase your weight.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/N-MqWXXZvNY
Energy drinks are often chosen as a source of fluid should also be considered because they contain sugar and caffeine. Similarly, when drinking packaged fruit juice, always pay attention to the product label first.
But for packaged drinks, the average content of salt and sugar is high, even though the drink is low fat.
In a day there is also a normal dose so that we still do not lack fluids. The fluid needs of each person are also different, on average adult women are advised to drink at least 1.6 liters of water per day while for adult men it is at least 2 liters per day.
**Some of the signs that you are dehydrated are:**
Headache
Urine color is not clear
Feeling less energy
Eyes look red And others
No less important and need to be considered are special conditions and activities that make the body need more fluid intake than usual water intake, including:
After exercising or being physically active
Having a fever
Hot weather
Pregnant or lactating women are also advised to drink more than 1.6 liters of water per day to 2.3 liters a day, if more it is also better.
In addition, drinking water can also increase our concentration to stay focused. So for those of you who are working and attending school, it is advisable to always bring water to maintain your concentration in these activities.
If all this time you are not aware of the benefits of drinking water, there are some tips that can be done. Try to get used to drinking water every meal or while eating snacks. In addition, you can put a glass or bottle filled with drinking water on the table or bag that you carry with you every day. Thus, you will remember to consume it.
Alternatively, you can add flavor to plain water to make it taste better. One of them is by adding fruit slices such as in infused water drinks or by providing fresh fruit juices without additional sweeteners. Adequate fluids are important for the body.
One of the best sources comes from water with various benefits. Drink water as needed so that the body's health condition remains optimal. So stay hydrated.

Make own aquarium for aquascape
Date: 18 september 2022
Sunday
I'm sure my friends already know about aquascape artwork. Aquascape itself is the art of decorating plants in water combined with the placement of objects such as stones, wood, in aquarium or acrylic containers that use freshwater ecosystems.
Aquascape itself can also be referred to as an aquarium arrangement science that can bring added value and high satisfaction, in accordance with the wishes that make the aquascape art.
So today I have a day off from work and decided to build an aquarium that I will use as an aquascape.
First I bought a glass that has a thickness of 5mm to make the aquarium and several other tools such as solatip, silent (glass glue), glass cutter, ruler. After all the materials and tools were ready, I immediately arranged the glass for preparation for the glue. I will make it with a width of 30 cm and a height of 40 cm and a length of 80 cm and a height of 40 cm. Actually, for an aquascape this size is quite large.
Do not forget to sand every corner of the glass with sandpaper so that there are no sharp parts, because it is very dangerous. After sanding, prepare the tape to hold the glass temporarily before being glued. After that the gluing process can be done.
For cutting the glass itself, it has been cut from the glass shop according to what I ordered. So I just need to glue the glass from every corner and glue it right away.
After the glue, don't forget to put tape on each corner to hold the glass because the glue that is still wet is usually not too strong to hold the glass. After that, so that the aquarium can be stronger, I even have a belt with black glass on each side of the aquarium. No need to be wide, just cut the glass with a size of 3mm with a width of 3 cm, the length and width follow the size of the aquarium.
After that, glue the belt on each side and stick it in the aquarium, don't forget to glue it to temporarily hold the aquarium belt.
After the glue started to dry, I immediately tested it by putting water in the aquarium, if there was a leak, I could immediately repair it by adding glue to the leaking part. But after I tested it with water, it turned out that everything was safe and there were no leaks. Well that's how I make an aquarium for my aquascape later. It is very easy and simple to make an aquarium, it just takes patience and thoroughness in gluing so as not to experience leaks in the aquarium.
Experience of staying 1 week in Bali
Date: 15 september 2022
Thursday
Last week I went to the island of Bali to visit my nephew who lives on the island of Bali. I haven't seen my nephew in a long time.
The island of Bali itself is one of the islands that has a very amazing natural beauty. This island is known as the island of the gods, that's because the population on the island of Bali on average adheres to Hindu beliefs.
In addition to its beauty and very interesting culture, the island of Bali is also a place of choice for tourists both from within and outside the country. So don't be surprised if on the island of Bali there are so many foreigners who live there for vacations, work matters or who live on this island.
Because many tourists are there, the island of Bali is growing very rapidly in terms of tourism and others. This attracts investors to invest their money in various companies there.
So a lot of interesting things are there. My trip from Cilacap to Banyuwangi took more than 20 hours by car. After that, we boarded a boat to cross the Bali Strait to reach the island of Bali.
After arriving on the island of Bali, I continued my journey to the Badung Regency in Nusa Dua. This is a very tiring journey and the total of my journey for more than 26 hours. After arriving at my nephew's house, I was warmly welcomed by my nephew's family. I chatted for a while and took a shower, after taking a shower I went to sleep because my eyes were very tired from not sleeping during the trip.
After waking up in the morning I chatted and drank coffee with my nephew's family after that we had breakfast. My first day there, I was immediately invited to tour around Nusa Dua. Nusa Dua is very crowded because it is a city that has very beautiful tourist attractions.
The next day I just vacationed there with my nephew's family. We visited Pandawa beach, Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue, Kute beach and various culinary places there in Bali.
And on the last day we went fishing in Tanjung Benoa while enjoying the sunset, the sunset there was very beautiful, besides the sound of the waves on the beach also really made me feel more at home to stay longer there.
Actually I really enjoyed living there, but there were many other responsibilities that I had to do so I had to go home. Actually there are many more experiences of my vacation there that can be told but it seems like it will be very long if I tell here.
Thank you for reading my vacation story on the island of Bali.
Problems are a lesson for us
Date: 9 september 2022
Friday
In life on this earth, all living things must always have problems in their respective lives. We as humans will never be separated from a problem from our daily lives.
But you waste the problems you are experiencing as life lessons for the future to be better.
Especially for young people who are in the phase towards adulthood, they will be more susceptible to problems in their lives. Not only that, they tend to get frustrated with the problems they face and choose to run away.
Even though from these problems they can learn to think about finding solutions or ways out of the problem without having to choose to run away.
Image https://unsplash.com/photos/aMhC_WKgaLI
If the problem is serious, we can share what we are going through to our parents, siblings, or friends who you think are more mature than us. That way we can listen to input from people we think are more mature and we can conclude after hearing the solution.
Well, from the problems we face, little by little we will learn to be more mature. Of course, to become an adult is not measured by age, but by the experience and mentality we have. Many small children who are only 20 years old he is more mature than older people. It could be that the 20-year-old child goes through more problems in his life and tries to solve these problems without having to run. Because of this the mentality of the child will be formed better than the child who is older than him but chooses to run from problems and does not want to learn from problems.
Apart from learning from our own problems, we can also learn from the mistakes of others. This is a better way of learning than us we learn from our own problems.
Pay attention if other people are experiencing problems in their lives, you can observe, learn how to solve them, and find out the cause of them having problems and we can try not to fall into problems like that person experienced.

The serenity we can get from nature
Date: 8 September 2022
Thursday
Sometimes our minds or hearts feel depressed because of the problems of our life or work. Of course, our minds and hearts also need temporary calm to feel relieved again.
Maybe you have different ways to deal with problems in life or to calm your mind. Some use meditation, listen to music, go on vacation, or even be alone in their room.
For me to find peace is enough to mingle with nature. In this world, everything that is natural will certainly provide positive benefits.
Enjoy the majesty of the sky
When the mind is in chaos try to look up at the sky, enjoy and feel the freedom and serenity you want. Besides that, we can also see birds flying, of course you will think that you also want to fly with birds up there. The sky indeed symbolizes the majesty and freedom for all living things. That's because all living things in this world live under the heavens created by the great god. So as if by looking at the sky, you will be able to communicate / vent directly with God.
Enjoy the green nature of the mountains
In addition to enjoying the majesty of the sky, we can also feel the vibrations of nature that can make our mood and mind calm by gazing at the beauty of the mountains. When you are tired of your daily activities or work, try to climb the hill to enjoy the green nature and mountains around you. Everyone will agree that the natural beauty of the mountains can indeed make our minds calm. In addition, the air in the mountains is also very cool. You can breathe cool air there which will also make your mind cool. So there is nothing wrong if you take your time to find peace by looking at the natural beauty of the mountains.
Enjoy sunrise or sunset
Enjoying the beauty of sunrise or sunset can also make our minds calm. For those of you who live in the countryside, you can definitely enjoy it more. You can wake up early and take a walk enjoying the fresh air in the countryside while waiting for the sun to rise.
In addition, sunlight in the morning is also very good for our bodies. With a healthy body, our minds will automatically always think well, because good immunity also comes from thoughts that always think positively.
And you can also enjoy the beautiful sunset in the afternoon after coming home from work. Enjoy on the terrace of your house while drinking warm coffee and a little snack to accompany you to enjoy your sunset.
Relax by the beach
Relaxing at sea is certainly the choice of many people to take a vacation or relax our minds. In addition to enjoying the very beautiful scenery, we can also enjoy the gentle breeze and the sound of the waves which can certainly make our minds and hearts comfortable to be near the beach all day.
Nature is indeed a gift from God to all living things. It is fitting for us as humans, intelligent beings to be able to maintain the beauty of nature around us. After all, we will also enjoy it if we take care of this nature.

Simple habits that can make you fat
Date: 7 September 2022
Wednesday
Unexpectedly some trivial habits can make our bodies fat. Most people would prefer an ideal body because it is more pleasing to the eye and can also maintain our health as well. Unfortunately not everyone knows that sometimes something that seems normal can be a factor in gaining weight.
Indeed, there are many reasons that make weight continue to rise. Even exercise and diet if not monitored properly can make the body gain weight.
**Then what are the trivial habits that can make our bodies fat, see the following explanation.**
**1. Eating too fast**
When you eat quickly, the hormone ghrelin, which signals when the stomach feels hungry, decreases. In fact, it takes 20 minutes to start eating until the message to stop eating reaches the brain. Simply put, when you eat too fast then you will tend to fill the stomach with excess food.
People who have the habit of eating in a hurry, tend to be overweight or obese. When eating too fast, the body is not given the opportunity to tell the brain that the stomach is full. Therefore, you will eat more than your body needs. The solution, try to slow down eating time by chewing more and enjoying every bite. So that the body has time to provide information to the brain that it is fully charged.
**2. Lack of sleep**
When we close our eyes too little to sleep, our metabolism slows down to conserve energy. This slowdown then triggers the hormone cortisol which can increase appetite.
The body then thinks that you need a lot of energy so it asks for more food. In addition, lack of sleep causes the body to release more ghrelin (a hormone that signals hunger) and less leptin (a hormone that signals feelings of fullness).
Irregularity of these hormones ultimately makes you want to eat more and do not have the sensitivity to know when to stop chewing.
**3. High-calorie drinks**
If you like packaged drinks with excess sugar, it's better from now on you to reduce them, because these drinks can make you gain weight. Even fans of blended coffee have to be careful, because usually contemporary coffee is added with whip cream made from egg whites.
Protein can indeed make you full quickly, but if whip cream has been mixed with milk and others, the calories that enter the body will be more. High-calorie drinks are also found in soda and alcoholic beverages.
**4. Skipping normal meal times**
Skipping normal meal times, for example breakfast is coupled with lunch so that the eating schedule becomes chaotic. In addition, skipping breakfast can slow down the body's metabolic processes, as a result your body will quickly feel hungry so that at the next meal you will be eager to eat more and snack on anything more often.
**5. The habit of sleeping all day**
Sleeping all day is very pleasant, because we don't need to be tired to do activities. But don't blame yourself if your weight will go up due to lack of activity and just lying in the room. Even though for example we are not working, it is better for us to keep doing activities that would make our body muscles move or even do sports activities that can make sweat come out of our bodies. In order to avoid this, look for activities that you think can be done even if they are light things.
**So, that's a trivial habit that without us realizing it can make our bodies fat. Indeed, trivial habits like this are very rarely realized by people. So keep your health by keeping your body ideal.**

Never leave history
Date: 5 September 2022
Monday
If we talk about history, it's definitely endless. Because history itself is very much and is often the subject of debate from historians and scientists who want to uncover this history. Before going too far, history itself has a lot of understanding from experts. In essence, history is events or events that happened in the past.
While in English it is called 'history', which comes from the Greek word 'history' which means inquiry, interview, and interrogation or report from an eye witness regarding the results of an action. From the Greek, the term historia entered other languages, mainly through the medium of Latin.

History has become an important part of human civilization until now. With history, we can know events that happened in the past and learn many things from it to be applied to the present.
Maybe many people think that studying history is boring. However, there are actually many benefits that can be obtained by studying history. One of them is to build a critical mind and is useful for building a career.
History does have many values, so studying it is very important. Through history, we have come to know that unity, tolerance in differences, nationalism, and other values are important things to instill in ourselves. It is also very important that we teach history to children, because from that history, they will judge what needs to be improved and changed in today's history from that history.
In addition, history can also develop our thinking skills. As a series or series of interrelated events, history needs to be studied because it will train us to think and process information. Studying history can spark the imagination, prompting us to put in the effort to gather more information.
***Through history, we can know all that and gain new knowledge. This is because history indirectly gives us experience without the need to feel directly incident after incident.***
So it is clear that history is very important and we must learn and never forget or leave history. Because the value contained in the science of history is very influential in the future.

Get to know toxic friends who can harm you
Date 4 September 2022
Sunday
Humans are social creatures who certainly need each other and in this case, of course we have to interact with other people. Interact with family, friends or even strangers. Well, in terms of friendship, have you ever heard the word toxic friend?
Toxic friend itself is a friendship that makes someone feel unsupported, always blamed, belittled, or even attacked and all kinds of other bad things. This can destroy many things, including destroying self-esteem. Having toxic friends will not provide any benefit for us.
(Image) https://www.instagram.com/p/sjlGQBTJHu/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
If you have watched the movie Transformers: Age Of Extinction, there is a scene where the antagonist character named Lockdown says to his own friend, that ***the enemy of my enemy is my own friend****.* So it is appropriate that we must always be careful in choosing friendships in our daily lives.
The characteristics that you should know if your friend is toxi are as follows:
**1. Keep the good news to yourself**
Maybe we often hide our happiness like we have gained something from our own hard work. But it aims positively to avoid envy that may happen to friends in us.
Notice the little nudges we get emotionally, which make us pause before sharing the good news with a friend.
And if we hate bringing it up for fear that he will be condescending or make sharp comments, then why would we want this person to be a friend? Good friends should be invited to share any positive things that we get.
**2. Tells you to prioritize him**
Supporting and being by your friend's side when they're in trouble is a good thing, but that doesn't mean you have to put your friends first at all times. Toxic friend will tell you to immediately leave what you are doing and meet him immediately.
**3. Just take advantage of you**

Explanation of cold air in the mountains
Date 29 August 2022
Tuesday
Have you ever wondered why mountainous areas or mountains are cooler when they are closer to the sun? While in the lowlands such as the coast it is hotter than the mountains even though the distance is farther from the sun.
There is a scientific explanation for this question. There are several factors that affect the air above the mountains can be colder than at the coast or lower plains.

**Here is the explanation**
**1. Air Pressure**
Factor If any of your friends here are studying geography, surely you already know about this. It is said that the higher the earth's surface, the lower the air pressure. Because the air molecules move more slowly so there is no collision between air molecules.
Unlike in the lowlands or urban areas because so many air molecules move quickly and collide with each other, causing hot temperatures.
There is also an explanation that for every 100 meters increase, the air temperature will decrease by 0.60-1 degrees Celsius and this temperature drop will continue until it reaches an altitude of about 17 kilometers.
If the altitude has exceeded 17 kilometers then there is another mechanism that occurs in temperature changes, the mechanism is the mechanism of absorption of ultraviolet by ozone.
This mechanism makes the altitude above 17 kilometers making the temperature hotter or higher and will continue to increase to the outer layer of our earth's atmosphere. After the ozone layer, there are also different temperature change mechanisms in other layers of our earth's atmosphere.
**2. Gravity**
The effect of the earth's gravity will also affect the air in the mountains. The law of gravity states that the farther a place or area from the center of the earth will affect the gravitational pull so that the attraction is getting weaker.
That is, the farther from the center of the earth, the less air. A little air makes the air pressure decrease. The lower the air pressure, the less friction between the air molecules, so the air temperature is cold.
Those are some of the reasons why the temperature in mountainous areas is cooler even though it is closer to the sun. So in essence, distance has no effect in this case. Because even if we climb the highest mountain in the world, the distance will not affect the air on earth.

Not only vacation but also practice patience
Date: 28 August 2022
Sunday
On the sidelines of my day off this Sunday, I went fishing on the outskirts of the boat pier near the beach. I took advantage of this week to entertain myself by fishing on the pier while enjoying the very light sea breeze. It seems that even on Sundays, the fishermen still work looking for fish in the sea to sell at the fish market.
My city is indeed very famous for its fish market which is quite large because my city is on the outskirts of the sea. So most of the people whose houses are on the beach, they work as fishermen.
This is a spot that I usually fish, I have a hobby of fishing since I was little because when I was little, my uncle often invited me to fish to the sea. The fish that you get here are also various, I don't know the exact name of this fish in your place, but in my place it is called japu fish, baronang, and many more.
I left home at 6 am, because when fishing in the sea we also have to know first when the tide will rise. Because when the sea water starts to rise, the fish in the sea will also follow the current to the shore or to the rivers near the coast to look for food there. So when the sea water starts to rise, try to start fishing.
I use dead shrimp as bait. Actually it would be even better with live shrimp, because our potential to get bigger fish will be more if we use live bait such as shrimp or small fish. Usually at my place there are also those who sell live shrimp for fishing bait, but I have run out of bait and finally I use dead shrimp.
I started fishing, while waiting for the fishing bait in my sambar while looking at the very beautiful sea view. Lots of big ships that will pull over to the port in my city. Usually these large ships load logistics goods, petroleum and others.
After some time I waited, finally my bait was grabbed by the fish. Finally my patience was paid with the fish strike that I dreamed of. This is a japu fish, although this fish is small but the pull is very strong.
In addition, this fish is also very delicious when fried. I put the bait again and I waited for the next strike. But after that there was no strike at all. At times like this the patience of an angler will be tested.
After I was patient and waited for quite a while, there was no more strikes and I decided to go home.
While walking towards the car park, I took another photo of this vast ocean view.
This is a very pleasant vacation for me personally, no need to spend a lot of money to entertain ourselves, just do what your hobby or thing that would make your heart happy.
About togetherness
Date: 27 August 2022
Saturday
Togetherness may already be familiar to people who are members of an organization. But there are also many individuals in groups who do not understand the meaning of togetherness.
Why is a sense of community so important in an organization, bond, group or community? The word "togetherness" has the meaning of a bond that is formed because of a sense of kinship / brotherhood, more than just working together or ordinary professional relationships.

Moreover, we are human beings who are not strangers to being called social beings, so without being in a group or organization, individuals must also need togetherness, both with family and friends.
As for some of the goals of togetherness, for example, so that we can appreciate differences. Differences are indeed something that cannot be removed from each individual, they bring elements of difference from each region they come from. People who decide to build togetherness must appreciate all kinds of differences that exist in the environment without discriminating.
In addition, we can also train cohesiveness and complement each other.
Togetherness is formed to create cohesiveness between individuals or even between groups. Cohesiveness will make the goal well resolved. This cohesiveness can also be a measuring tool for someone in carrying out a mission for the common good.
And the many types of mindset of each individual sometimes make an idea into something very extraordinary. each individual can give his idea to the group. This is one of the goals of togetherness which is to complement each other.
Furthermore, from a strong togetherness can also make a person not feel trouble alone. The feeling of never being alone makes a person stronger and more enthusiastic to face the reality. Togetherness is expected to make individuals stronger, but not always dependent on others.
