◕‿◕ Let's Tell Ma Busy Day ♪♫

2008-12-09T17:51:00.000-08:00

Pagina, ketika qw k klz seperti biasanyaa.. qw disapa anak-anak A5G or Acceleration Fifth Generation (anak pcpt generasi ke-5 di SpenZa :p) dengan suasana kelam pagi hari yang sedang hujan deras!! Yahh...ktika banyak anak-anak yang masih ~mungkin~ bergelut di ranjang dengan guling dan bantalnya, tidur dgn nyenyaknya..kemudian terbangun oleh SMS yang mengejutkan dari temen baek masing" dan berkata, "Lo d mana? Gw dah di skul nieh!! Cepetan!". Segeralah mereka sadar dan berangkat ke skolah "tercinta" ini, makanya 15 menit setelah qw datang, temen" qw datang bergelimpangan banyaknya.. :)

Yahh~ tapi sblum temen" A5G pada dateng, Dayu a.k.a. A5G Aira menceritakan tentang suatu RAHASIA yang tak dapat dipungkiri ~terlalu dramatis nieh qw~..
Dia bilang mau cari Kak Ary a.k.a. Mr. NumLew.. haha... :D.
Spontan gw bilang, "Mana mungkin Kak Ary (Guru IT qta) ud dateng pagi gini!!"
Meskipun qw ga yakin Si Mister NumLew itu bisa disebut GURU saking akrabnya ma anak-anak sini.

yahh~ sebagai salah dua, eih, salah satu anak yang aktif di skul ~gayanya~ ^^Y Peace yo!
maksudnya anak yg aktif jalan" layaknya anak kesasar di bawah kolong jembatan ktika kelaz percepatan berisi tampang" menyesatkan anak" A5G yang mengajak kawan" yang laend maen "DOTA". Di sana tampak A5G Black Griffin a.k.a. Qui-Gon Jinn a.k.a. Musashi yang salah pake senjata jadi Light Saber. Wkwkwkw.. kebanyakan alias tuhh! :p
Si Musashi itu dengan bangganya mendengarkan musik pake HEADSET terbaru dia..
gtw tuhh berappa harganya..
Qw liat dia berusaha maen DOTA pake fasilitas skola yang lelet dan kadang-kadang "LoLy" alias Local Only.. huahaha~ sadar nakkk! Kamu ud pake Speedy.. Internet skola mane level ma Speedy lo! Itu kata Musashi sendiri,"Ei, semenjak qw pake Speedy, internet sini jadi keliatan banget speednya lelet abiss! Sampe geregetan dibuatnya!! :("
Qw manggil dia dengan kerasnya dan ternyata tepat seperti dugaanku! Dia GA denger! Hufft..habisna..ga pake tu bendaa.. apa itu namanya..yang ditaro di kuping ituu.. oya..headset! Ga pake itu aj ga denger, apalagi pake itu benda!!

:D

Akhirnya gw yang logikanya jalan ini :P ~emang logika jalan ya??~ mencoba untuk menggunakan bahasa tubuh a.k.a. body language di dpn laptopnya yang Agak CEpat Rusak alias ACER! ~emang dia punya berapa laptop sie..wong cuma 1~
Aku menggerakkan tanganku dengan sepenuh hati dan menyuruhnya untuk melepaskan headsetnya dan AKHIRNYA qw bisa memulai omongan yang sudah lama tak sabar pingin qw muntahin dari mulut kesayangan qw ini~
Qw berkata,"Musashi qw mau crita rahasia negara! Tentang A5G Aira!"
Qw yakin Musashi dalam hati berkata,"Oo.. palingan tentang A5G Aira ❤ P****! *sensor*
Wadau... ^^Y maav Aira, ntar lagi kalo dia baca pasti ngelempar benda" ke qw~

:P

RAHASIA-nya:
Ternyata A5G Aira itu sudah dengan semangat merah putihnya mencabut kabel analog buat kamera CCTV kelaz qta.. huahaha.. :D
Paz pagi" ketika semua orang belum pada dateng, A5G Aira naek ke atas lemari kecil kelaz qtaa..dan....katanya,"Ya ud, daripada qw rugi naek ke atas situ, mendingan sekalian qw cabut kabel analognya."
Itulah mengapa dia mencari Mr. Numlew, karena dia yang mengajarkan trik" mematikan kamera mahal yang kuno itu sehari seblum kejadiannya :D
Kamera itu kuno banget! Maza ud harga sekitar 125 juta, ga isa merekam suara.. GILA aja..
Emang sie qw akui CCTV itu emang yang TERMURAH!!! :)

Caranya gampang banget! Qw juga bisa! :p
Tapi.. asalkan qw mencukupi tinggi untuk nyampe tuhh sambungan kabel~
Dan.. kamu tinggal cabut sambungan kabel itu~
Jadilah kamera yang tidak berdaya~

Okey deihh!!
semua akhirnya tau rahasia ini dari blog ini ~probably~
Lagipula, katanya A5G Aira, dia ud masang kembali esoknya..pada saat orang" masi sarapan pagi di rumah~

:D

Optical Instruments

2008-11-25T21:49:00.000-08:00

Optical Instruments

An optical instrument either processes light waves to enhance an image for viewing, or analyzes light waves (or photons) to determine one of a number of characteristic properties.

The examples of optical instruments are:

Eye
Camera
Lup
Microscope
Telescope
Projector

Eyes

Eyes are organs that detect light. Different kinds of light-sensitive organs are found in a variety of animals. The simplest "eyes", in even unicellular organisms, do nothing but detect whether the surroundings are light or dark, which is sufficient for the entrainment of circadian rhythms and may allow the organism to seek out or avoid light, but hardly can be called vision.

Part of Eye

The part of eye are :
-Retina
-Cornea
-Iris
-Lens
-Pupil
-Eye nerve

Retina: retina has function to arrest shadow which mouldable by eye lens
Cornea: cornea has function to receive light and continue light and protect eye lens from feather.
Iris: the iris has function to give color to eye.
Eye Lens: eye lens has function to make thing shadow.
Pupil: pupil has function to organize light intensity.
Eye Nerve: eye nerve has function to continue signal from retina to brain.

Eye Accommodations

The purpose of the optics of the mammalian eye is to bring a clear image of the visual world onto the retina. Because of limited depth of field of the mammalian eye, an object at one distance from the eye might project a clear image, while an object either closer to or further from the eye will not. To make images clear for objects at different distances from the eye, its optical power needs to be changed. This is accomplished mainly by changing the curvature of the lens. For distant objects, the lens needs to be made flatter, for near objects the lens needs to be made thicker and more rounded.

Eye Diseases

There are 3 kind of eye diseases:

-Near sighted (Miopi)
-Long sighted (Hipermetropi)
-Old eye (Presbiopi)

Miopi: can not see object with far distance in clearly.
Hipermetropi: can not see object with near distance in clearly.
Presbiopi: can not see object with far and near distance in clearly. Presbiobi usually occurs in elderly!

Camera

A camera is a device used to capture images, either as still photographs or as sequences of moving images. If there is iris in eye, in camera there is diaphragm.
Camera consist of convex lens which can arranged for focus real shadow in order to fall to film.
Characteristic of shadow in film is obvious, capsize and smaller.

Lup

Lup is lens which use to see small thing become bigger and clear.

Microscope

A microscope is an instrument for viewing objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eyes.

Projector

Projector is optical instrument that has function to projecting picture to screen until the shadow of the thing appear bigger and more clear. Projector is divided by 2, there are episcop and diascop. Episcop is projector that has function to projected untranslucent object.
Diascop is projector that has function to projected translucent object.

Examples of diascop:
-Slide Projector
-Film Projector
-Overhead Projector

Physic Experiment!!

2008-11-25T06:11:00.000-08:00

Refraction

Refraction is the change direction of light or light turning.
Example of refraction in our daily life are:
-When we drop a pipe to glass that content water, we see the pipe like broken.
-When we catch a fish in aquarium, the fish position is not at the position we see.

Picture: The pipe had a refraction in the water
It seems like broken

Medium Refraction Index

Medium Refraction Index is equivalent of light speed in empty gas space with light speed in a medium. The formula is

n = c/cn

Willebrod Snell (1581 – 1626), a mathematic scientist, through many experiment he did found relation between coming light and refracted light that known by the law of Snellius, that is:

Coming light, normal line, and refracted light located in 1 flat area
The projection equivalent of coming light projection and refracted light at border area between 2 medium is permanent numeral. The permanent numeral definite to refraction index.

Base by the law of Snellius, medium refraction index can found by the projection equivalent of coming light and light refraction light projection at 2 medium border area.

The formula is:
n = D’o/B’o

Details:

The cut point of coming light and refraction light at medium border area become the middle point of circle (o). When cut point coming light circle side (D) and refracted light (B) Projected into border area, so D’o is the projection of coming light (Do) and B’o is projection of refracted light (Bo). With this, the medium refraction index formed like in slide before.

Characteristic of Light Refraction

To understand the refraction of light direction while through border area between 2 medium, so we use the characteristic of refracted light that is:

1. Coming light from close less into more close medium will refracted nearly normal line. With this, refraction angle (r) will more small than coming angle (i).

2. The light come perpendicular border area so not have direction changes (not refracted but just directed).

3. Coming light from more close medium to close less medium will refracted more far from normal line. With this, the refracted angle (r) will be bigger than coming angle (i).

Light Refraction through Lens

Lens is a trasparent thing that are limited using two bending surface, or one bended and one isn’t. There are two type of lens, convex and concave.

Convex Lens

Convex Lens is a lens that the center of the lens is thinner than its side. Convex lens consist of three kinds of shapes : Biconvex lens, Planconvex lens, and Concave Convex lens. Convex lens is the same as positive lens. Convex lens can gather lights (convergent).

Like a mirror, lens has three special light, too. Those are:
-Incoming light parallel with the main fuse are refracted through the focus point.
-Incoming light through focus point are refracted parallel the main fuse.
-Incoming light through the main point of the lens are going without refraction.

Refraction in Convex lens:

Concave lens

Concave lens is a lens that its center are thicker than its side. Concave lens consist of three kind, Biconcave, Planconcave, and Convex Concave. Concave lens is the same as negative lens. Concave lens can spread lights (divergent).

Like a convex lens, concave lens is also has three special light:
-Incoming light parallel with main fuse are refracted like its coming from the focus point.
-Incoming light to the focus point are refracted parallel with the main fuse.

-Incoming light from the center lens’ point are going without refraction.

The refraction that made from concave lens are always Invisible, not reversed, and smaller.

Kinds of onvex and concave lenses:

Biology Lesson fer Ya!! :D

2008-11-24T05:07:00.000-08:00

A. Classification of Chemicals in Foods

Basically, chemical used in foods can be distinguish into two kinds, those are natural and artificial chemical.
Natural chemicals are chemicals which come from plants or animals used a both raw materials and additive materials in making process of a food. One example of natural chemicals which is usually used in foods is celery oil consisting of compounds of limonene (70-80%), sesquiterpenes - selinene (10%), and humulene. Besides, the special aroma of the celery id causedby the content of phthalides compound.

Meanwhile, artificial chemicals are chemicals produced by human beings made through a chemical reaction from the certain chemical compounds. This chemicals can be obtained in large quantity and they usually give a “better result” than natural chemicals.
Basically, both natural and artificial chemicals used in foods can be classified based their function or uses. In this case, those chemicals are classified into chemicals functioning as dyestuff, sweetener, flavor and preservative substance.

B. Natural Chemicals

1. Natural Chemicals as Dyestuff

In everyday life, we often find various foods and drinks having interested colors which can rise our appetites to consume them.
Basically, raw or main materials to produce a food or drink have contained the own dyes. However, actually the natural colors containing in the foodstuffs less to be used for producing the more interested foods or drinks. Hence, to produce the interested colors, usually an amount of additive chemicals are added which can upgrade the color quality of a given food or drink. Those additive chemicals used to upgrade the color quality of a given food or drink some are natural chemicals.

In this nature there’re chemicals or materials which can be used as natural dyestuff and most of them are obtained from plants. The following is explanation about some natural chemicals which are usually used as dyestuff in foods or drinks.

a. Turmeric

Turmeric is a kind of plants classified into Zingiberaceae. Turmeric are extensively found in Asia, especially Southeast Asia and it is widely used by Indonesian or other most of Asian as flavor and traditional medicine or “jamu”.
Turmeric contains a yellow agent substance called curcumine. Hence, turmeric is usually used to give yellow color in foods or cooking such as rice, curry, meat, fish, egg, etc.

b. Carrot

Carrot is one tubers widely used as vegetable and natural dyestuff. It is because carrot can produce the orange color. The orange color of the carrot is produced by the content of a substance called betha-carotene.

c. Watery Pandanus and “Suji” Leaves

Watery Pandanus and “Suji” leaves can be used as agent of green color in foods. It is because those 2 kinds of plants contain chlorophyll which is safe for human beings. The watery pandanus and suji leaves are widely used for giving green color in many traditional foods. For example, foods using the suji and watery pandanus leaves as dyestuff are “dadar gulung”, “moci” and pandanus sponge cake.

d. Red Chili Pepper

Besides for obtaining the hot taste in a food, the red chili pepper is also used to produce red color in foods. The reds color produced by the chili pepper is widely used in cooking with the raw materials such as meat, egg, soybean curd, tempe, and fishes.

e. Cocoa Tree

Cocoa tree is a kind of plants having the Latin name Theobroma cacao. The seed of this tree which has been processed to become powdery or concentrated liquid can be used for giving brown in several kinds of foods such various cakes, candies, margarines, and milks.

2. Natural Chemicals as Sweetener

The sweet taste is a taste which is like by peoples. Hence, there are many foods made using the sweet taste. What’s something making a sweet food? Basically, the sweet taste in foods is caused by the presence of sugar in the feedstuffs of the foods.
Although there are some feedstuffs containing sugar, but the obtain the sweet taste which appropriates the appetite of someone, then usually we need to add some materials functioning as the sweetener. In this case, the sweetener usually used to create or add the sweet taste on foods is sugar. Various candies, cakes, and candied fruits are examples of food using sugar as the sweetener. Besides that, various drinks such as tea, coffee, milk and essence of fruits usually use also sugar as the sweetener.

a. Sugar from Sugar Cane

Sugar from Sugar Cane is obtained by extracting the sugar cane stem. In the process of making this kind of sugar, the sugar cane stem is extracted by method of grinding it for being obtained its essence. The essence of sugar cane contains approximately 50% of water, 15% of sugar, and 35% of other substances. The essence of the sugar cane then is separated from other substances by method of settling waste through liming process, that is settling waste by using calcium in the form of limestone. After undergoing the liming process, the water (from sugar cane) is converted to become the crystal sugar through the step of evaporating, boiling, and crystallizing.
The sugar from sugar cane found in markets be in various sizes.

b. Coconut Sugar

Coconut sugar or it is often known as Javanese sugar is sugar obtained from the water (essence) of coconut processed further, so the brown sugar in the certain shapes is produced.

c. Sugar from Sugar Palm

Sugar from sugar palm is obtained from processing the water (essence) of sugar palm incision. Basically, the process of making this sugar is relatively similar to the process in making coconut sugar, but from the sugar produced is rather different. The sugar from sugar cane is redder than the coconut sugar. Besides that, the taste of the sugar from sugar cane is rather sweeter than the coconut sugar.

3. Natural Chemicals as Flavor

The use of flavors in foods purposes to reinforce the taste and aroma of foods, so it can rise the deliciousness of the foods. The following are some examples of natural chemicals which are usually used as flavor in foods.

a. Table Salt

Table salt is one of natural flavors for foods prepared from the processing of seawater. Most of the native Indonesia’s cooking use the table salt as the main flavor. The use of table salt as flavor is caused by the salt is able to rise the taste of foods, so the foods become more delicious and luscious.

b. Turmeric

Besides it can be used as dyestuff , turmeric is widely also used as flavor for foods. The use of the turmeric as flavor functions to remove the putridity of foods such as meat, fishes, and eggs.

c. Celery

To rise taste and aroma for some kinds of cooking mainly cooking with broth such as “soto (a kind of soupe)”, “lontong kari”, and “baso (meatball)” usually use the slices of celery leaves.

d. Onions

Some kinds of onions such as the red onion, white onion, and Bombay onion are natural materials which are widely used as flavor. Besides of their unique aromas, the use of onions in cooking rise the quality of the taste.

4. Natural Chemicals as Preservative Agent

A preservative agent is used in a food in order to the food can be possible to be consumed in long time. Imagine if there are no preservative agents in foods, may be every day there will be removed spoiled foods in many trucks from supermarkets or food factories. However, through the long thinking processes, and it is followed by experiments using the steps carefully and precisely, so humans obtain methods to preserve foods, that is by using preservative agents.

c. Artificial Chemicals

The use of natural chemicals in foods has some weaknesses, among others are as follows.
For a food production in large quantity, it is required the large natural substances. Meanwhile, the existence of the natural substances is very limited.
The coloring quality using the natural substances is still limited. It means, they can only produce several colours only and the colours are fad able when in processing foods.
Foods preserved using the natural materials can’t be durable in a very long time.

Because of the weaknesses for the natural materials,
so based on chemical engineering, it’s made artificial chemicals which
can be used as dyestuff, sweetener, flavor, and preservative agent.

Besides for preventing the overweight and the infection of diabetes mellitus, some artificial sweeteners used by peoples to replace the function of natural sugar. It is because economically the artificial sweetener senses sweeter than sugar.
Some examples of artificial sweeteners which are usually used in foods among others are saccharine, sorbitol, cyclamate, P-400, and aspartame. The following is the ratio of relative sweetness degree of sugar and some artificial sweeteners to sucrose.

1. Natural Chemicals as Dyestuff

The artificial dyestuffs are required to add colours or create a given colour in foods so the foods becomes interested.
The artificial dyestuffs are also called the synthetic dyestuffs because they are produced from synthesis for chemical compounds through chemical engineering. The examples of foods using the artificial dyestuffs among others are candies, candied fruits, and syrup. Generally, the kind of foods or cooking given by an artificial dyestuff will look to be more interested. It’s because an artificial dyestuff can produce the certain color variations which are closely impossible to be made using the natural dyestuffs.
Artificial chemicals which are usually used as dyestuff for foods among others are tartrazine, carmoisine, quinoline, yellow poncean 4R, sunset yellow, patent blue V, brilliant black BN, and brilliant blue FCF.

2. Artificial Chemicals as Sweetener

Basically, sugar which is often used by us in everyday life contains carbohydrate which consists of sucrose, lactose, maltose, glucose, and fructose are separately found out in the form of mixture of in another in a given material.
Sugar compounds have the high content calorie. Hence, when we consume foods containing the compounds excessively, the excess of calorie will be stored in the form of fat and the body undergoes overweight. Besides, consuming sugar excessively also causes the infection of diabetes mellitus. To overcome the problem, now there are found low-calorie natural sweeteners which can reduce the risk to be infected by diabetes mellitus. Besides for preventing the overweight and the infection of diabetes mellitus, some artificial sweeteners used by peoples to replace the function of natural sugar. It is because economically the artificial sweetener senses sweeter than sugar.
Some examples of artificial sweeteners which are usually used in foods among others are saccharine, sorbitol, cyclamate, P-400, and aspartame. The following is the ratio of relative sweetness degree of sugar and some artificial sweeteners to sucrose.

3. Artificial Chemicals as Flavor

An artificial flavor which are most often used in everyday life is MSG (monosodium glutamat). The artificial flavor of MSG is more known as “vetsin” (vetsin=the Indonesian word of MSG). MSG or vetsin is made of syrup from sugar refining fermented using microccocus glutamicus bacteria.

The use of MSG in foods can rise or create the deliciousness or tastiness in the foods. Usually, foods using this MSG are salty, sour, and hot foods such as baso (meatball), “soto”, “gulai”, and “rendang” (meat simmered in spices and coconut milk).

4. Artificial Chemicals as Preservative Agent

Similar to dyestuffs, sweeteners, and flavors, the quantity of natural preservative agents are also limited in the nature. Besides, the quality of the natural preservative agents is relatively not good compared with artificial preservative agents. Hence, food and drink producers use some artificial chemicals functions as preservative agent.

D. Effects in using artificial chemicals

Generally, the use of addictive chemicals in foods both natural chemicals and artificial can give any usefulness or advantage for us. However, the use of artificial chemicals excessively in foods can also arise any negative effect or detriment for us. The following is explanation about the usefulnesses or advantages from using additive substances in foods, the detriments from using artificial chemicals, and methods of anticipating the detriments.

1. The usefulnesses of additive substances in foods

Basically, all kinds of foods can react with oxygen and it cause some consequences such as decomposition and the growth of fungi. As the result, the colour of the foods changes, there is arisen any unpleasant smell, the nutrient of the foods decreases, and moreover it can cause diseases if the are consumed. However, by using a certain chemicals, both natural and artificial, the unpleasant consequences can be avoided, reduced, or “removed”.

2. The detriments of using artificial chemicals

Besides giving some usefulnesses or advantages, the use of additive substances in foods also causes some detriments, among others are they can cause the health disorders for humans, especially for artificial materials.
The use of artificial chemicals in foods doesn’t exceed the certain limitations. It’s because generally the artificial chemicals can cause any disorder in our body organs. For example, consuming aspartame excessively can cause the occurrence hardening to brain and vertebral column marrow. Besides, aspartame is also believed to be able to cause lupus (SLE= systematic lupus erythematosus).

3. Overcoming problems of using artificial chemicals

After we know the detriments or problems of using additive chemicals, especially artificial dyestuffs, sweeteners, preservative agents in foods, so we certainly do not want to feel them, don’t you? Hence, you must known the methods to overcome the problems. Meanwhile, the methods to overcome them, among the others are as follows:
-Check the package of foods in order to we can sure that the foods are packed orderly and closed tightly so they are kept from any reaction with air and kept from bacteria and germs.
-Check the expiration date listed on the food packaging. This expiration date is a date printed on the packaging of food and drug products that indicates the time after which they should not be used.
-See the material composition (ingredient), be sure that the additive materials found in the foods are safe materials and the quantity of the materials is not in the greatest portion in the foods.
-Check that the foods have been listed in Health Department of Indonesia Republic and they are licensed by POM (“Pengawas Obat dan Makanan”).
-Reduce the use of additive substances.

Oprah TV Shows

2008-11-23T16:07:00.000-08:00

TV isn't always make bad effects fer us. Sometimes there're very good education programs like Oprah, Doctor*Ology, Mario d' Golden Ways, the others education and motivating programs fer all age. Those TV shows are very useful fer us!

Oprah TV Shows made from a very succesful woman named Oprah Winfrey.. ^^
The real name is Orpah Winfrey but people often called her Oprah so the name changes into "Oprah Winfrey". In facts, Oprah has bad past. She had broken home family, she had been raped by many mans and pregnant in 14 years old. Oh, God!!
But, I like that TV shows!! I often watch it every Monday until Friday at Metro TV, 11 AM - 12 AM ( in WITA timed ). Oprah shows us 'bout many miracles in our life. Sometimes it's quite funny. ^^

How are animals in grassland like? ^^

2008-11-21T04:49:00.001-08:00

Armadillo, strange herbivore because of its protection skin. ^^

Grass and low-scrub in the grassland provide a lot of food fer herbivore (animals which eat plant) ^^. Meat-eaters are also there! Those meat-eaters hunt herbivores that exist in big groups so that it's safer. Meat-eaters or carnivore have good lifestyles and body structures fer easily hunt their prey.

Image above is Impala, an herbivore ^^

The picture above is a rattlesnake!! A carnivore! ^^

Carnivores in grassland is smaller than herbivores. Really? Yes!! Examples of them are lions hunt prey with their groups. ^^

Let's Skateboarding!! ^^

2008-11-18T20:02:00.000-08:00

Let's Skateboarding Togetha!! ^^

Ma friends, before we are going to skateboard togetha, I'll tell ya a little bit 'bout skateboard!

Skateboard is one of interesting sports. A skateboard is a four wheeled platform used for the activity of skateboarding. The definition of a skateboard can vary in shapes, sizes, overall appearances, as well as in aptitude for performance. It is propelled by pushing with one foot while the other remains on the board, or by pumping in structures such as a pool or halfpipe. A skateboard can also be used by simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope and allowing gravity to propel the board and rider. There is no governing body which declares any regulations on what constitutes a skateboard or the parts from which it is assembled. Longboards are a type of skateboard with a longer wheelbase and larger and softer wheels. There are many kinds of skateboards and also many of the tricks or skills had by skateboarders.

If you want to learn the skills and tricks, you can visit these sites:

Quantum of Solace, d' Latest Movie in Indonesia!!

I have been watched this film in Gallery 21, and I like it so much!! I'd like to tell ya little bit 'bout Quantum of Solace movie!

Here's the review of Quantum of Solace fer ya! ^^

The storyline of this movie...

Quantum of Solace picks up where the previous Bond movie, Casino Royale (2006), ended. Yeah! That's very good movie!! James Bond (Craig), an M16 agent, commits a cardinal sin in the world of the secret service, he becomes emotionally involved with another agent, Vesper Lynd, who is killed by an organisation unknown to the British Secret Service, M16. Casino Royale ends with Lynd's death and Bond declaring revenge.

There're some self-destructions in here!!

In Quantum of Solace, Bond, hardened by his grief, becomes a one-way ticket to self-destruction. He immerses himself into achieving one goal, revenge for Lynd's death. His search takes him from Italy to Haiti where he meets Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a Bolivian who also has a vendetta against General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio), who not only killed her father, but raped her sister and burnt their house.

The encounter with Camille leads to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) a 'geologist' who plans to control the Bolivian water supply, but to achieve this he must first reinstate the dictator General Medrano to power. He would have achieved this despite the CIA's presence in the country and had not Bond unearth his plans.

James Bond's mission of vengeance becomes the mission of the great saver. He must stop the two villains, Greene and Medrano, who are also responsible for Lynd's death. But it is not easy. He must resist the desire to make it a personal vendetta as well as to overcome obstacles created by the maternal head of M16, (Judi Dench) who fears that Bond is out of control and must be stopped.

Interesting news in this movie's making process ^^

Quantum of Solace has all the signatures of a James Bond movie; there is the fast car and the boat and plane chases. The use of high-level technology, for communication between Bond and the M16 headquarters, in this case a large desktop computer and very large wall-to-wall monitors, all provide magnificent spectacle, paralleling a sophisticated society. Oh yeah, and pretty woman in toe!! Hahaha... ^^

This high-energy, action-packed movie was shot at various locations - from the beautifully paved streets in Italy, to the glitz of the M16 headquarters in England, to the squalor of streets in Haiti and Bolivia.

The acting is generally superb: Dench presented a convincing M, and, as he did in Casino Royale, Craig continues to silence his critics (disgruntled Pierce Brosnan fans) with a very convincing portrayal of Bond. His innate British characteristic maybe one of the contributing factors to his performance - the outward coldness required of Bond.

That's all d' reviews!
Hope you like it!! ^^

Twilight Novel Reviews

2008-11-17T22:28:00.000-08:00

Hi, ma friends!!!

I'd like to tell you 'bout d' Twilight Novel Reviews that I've read!
These are the reviews fer ya!

The short story!! ^^

Bella Swan, the main character, moves to Forks, Washington, a city that seems to constantly be under siege by rain. She, of course, does not want to be here. She's not fond of her father, she misses her mother, but decides to make a great sacrifice by moving so her mother can travel with her baseball-playing boyfriend while Bella finishes school. If you haven't already guessed, Bella's life is terrible because she's shy. However, when she steps foot inside the school, despite her being oh-so depressed, cynical and stricken with a social phobia, she has already made a horde a friends and has boys on her tail, even if she isn't physically appealing. Still in the first chapter, she spots a family of flawless, gorgeous human beings. Here we meet the Cullen family- Edward Cullen in particular. Naturally, she is enchanted by them. Poor Bella finds that, by the power of cliché coincidence, she sits next to said Cullen in Biology. This is where the magic begins!! ^^

To make a long story short, her life is saved by Edward, she finds out he is a vampire and boom! They're in love. Romantic!! Hahaha... Madly, deeply in love. No suspense and no build-up at all. It just happens. All within the first few chapters. The rest of the book? Lots of smiling, glaring and explanations about Edward's gorgeous eyes, hair, smell and affection. ^^ Every time we see him, Bella comments on how his clothes bring out the muscular shape of his body and about his "beautiful crooked smile". Only within the last pages of the book do you get an exciting (which is up to interpretation) story that includes an antagonist. The first 400-some pages were as bland as bland can be.

The real fun is with the characters. Hahaha.... They have no depth. They're almost laughable. ^^

Bella is beautiful but doesn't believe that she is, despite the fact that she has a vampire and the entire male population of her school drooling over her. Meyer tried to make her a strong heroine, but didn't quite make it. While she may write reports about misogyny in Shakespearean works, she also cooks and cleans for her lazy father who expects nothing less from her and follows Edward's every word religiously with no second thoughts.

Edward is a brooding, angsty vampire with no flaws, perfect hair, beautiful eyes and a body to die for. Enough said.

Edward's family members are cheerful (except for Rosalie. I think she was the only character I liked, because she was snarky and real) and, once again, flawless.

That's all the reviews and the laughable characters in Twilight from me!! ^^

Hope it's useful and interesting fer ya!!

Let's Prevent Global Warming, Guys!!

2008-11-17T05:28:00.000-08:00

Hello ma friends!!

Now, we're here to share our mind bout' GLOBAL WARMING..
You already know 'bout global warming, didn't you?
If ya don't know 'bout global warming, let's inspire it now!!

We know that now global warming still happens in our beloved world. IPCC's research says that in the earth there is temperature change. There was 'bout 0.15 - 0.30 C temperature increased. If that temperature change continues, I predict in 2040, ice layers will decrease because of their melting til' there is no ice in the earth and if the earth still has global warming, in 2050 will happens outage of fresh water which causes hunger in our earth.

Researchers' research in Bandung Technology Institue say that in Jakarta Bay, the water surface increase about 0.8 cm, If that earth temperature increase rapidly, we predict in 2050, areas in Jakarta like Kosambi, Penjaringan, and Cilincing will awash.

How to prevent it?? ^^

I have some easy ways to prevent it!!

Turn off the electricity, especially if that's don't used.
Change your lamp into CFL according to electricity power although this lamp is more expensive, CFL more economist and practice.
Clean the lamp, dirt can reduce the level of lightness til' 5%!
Use timer in the usage of AC, oven, microwave, magic jar, etc!
Plant plants around your environment!
Dry your clothes with the help of sun, sun is better than use a dryer which really release lot of carbons.
Use the public transportation to reduce air pollution!
Be a vegetarian!
Reduce the usage of paper or anythings that made from wood!
Say no to plastic! Mostly of plastic release dangerous gases if we burn it or you can recycle it!
Save the earth!

So, that's very simple ways to do! Hope it so useful to you!! ^o^

The Incredible Swimming Egg (=

2008-11-15T05:04:00.000-08:00

Do you know eggs don’t float? But some can swim! x)

How it looks?

You drop an egg into a glass of water and ask your friends, “Can anyone make this egg float to the top of the glass? With a pinch of magic potion and some magic words, I will show you how to teach an egg to swim!” Your friends will confuse because they don't know the ways to do it. Haha...

You take out a plastic bag and take a pinch of “magic potion” from it. You sprinkle a few grains of magic potion into the glass while stirring it with your finger. “Now, for the magic incantation. From the depth of this glass filled to the brim, wake up little egg, it is time to swim!” The egg rises to the top due to the stirring, but sinks back to the bottom of the glass.

You add a spoonful more of the magic potion, stir the glass and say the magic words again, louder this time,“From the depth of this glass filled to the brim, wake up little egg, it is time to swim!!” Again, the egg rises and then falls back down. You pour the rest of the bag of potion into the water, stir and scream out, “Swim! Swim!! Swim!!!” This time the egg rises to the top and stays there even after the water stops stirring. You smile and say, “Sometimes it just takes a bit of egg-couragement.” Wonderful!!

What ya need?

A clear glass of room temperature water (just large enough for an egg to rest on the bottom of the glass)
1 egg
Salt (6-10 tablespoons or 90-150 ml)
Small bag or container (non-transparent – something that you can’t see through)
Tablespoon
Adult helper

The ways to do it!

Put an egg in that glass full of water! Because of water's density is smaller than egg's density, that egg automatics be sunken in the water.
Fill the water with salt little by little!
Stir it adagio!
Still stir it til' all salt actually dissolved.
Finally, that egg float on the water. ^o^

How it works?

The “magic potion” is just salt hidden in the plastic bag. When you add salt to the water, you make it heavier, or more dense, than the egg. This is why the egg floats. With a bit of experimenting, you can add just enough salt to make the egg float halfway up the glass.

How amazing was it?

Did you know?

If the egg floats before you add salt to the water, it may not be a fresh egg.
When an egg is first laid, it is warm. As it cools, the contents contract (shrink) and form an air pocket at the large end of the egg. As the egg ages, this air pocket grows in size (air replaces gases that escape through the egg’s pores), making a “lighter” egg that floats!

What do ya think 'bout this?

Share Your Ideas!! ^^

Hot News... :] Amrozy Cs' Execution

2008-11-13T06:19:00.000-08:00

Do ya know the "Trio Bombers" means Amrozi Cs?
Yes, of course ya do!

Amrozi Cs that contain Amrozi (center of tha picture), brotha of Amrozy, Ali Ghufron or Mukhlas (left of tha picture), and Imam Samudra (right of tha picture) have made our beautiful Bali Island damaged especially in the tourism object. In 12 Oct 2008 midnight around Ground Zero, "Bom Bali 1" have made by that "Trio Bombers" make we live in the sadness and scariness. The victims about 410 people. (202 people dead and 209 people hurt). Mostly of the victims are foreigners, especially from Aussie (Australia).
It make Aussie foreigners were afraid go to the Bali if these main terrorists still alive. They didn't want if there is anotha "Bom Bali 2" made by the other terrorists.

What should we do?

We can't do anything, because all of the judgment decided by the judge.
Mostly of people who live in Bali want the judge executed that "Trio Bombers" to make our beautiful Bali safer than before. There were so many problems and obstructions in doing the execution like Amrozi Cs' families didn't agree about this execution with to many reasons. It only make the execution long standing.

Finally, after all doing great (maybe) because Imam Samudra's family didn't want their beloved family (Imam Samudra) die because of this execution, the execution done in 08 November 2008 midnight so that's means 09 November 2008 in the morning.

That was maybe a good news for mostly people who live in Bali, but I have different opinion.
I think if those main terrorists have executed, I'm afraid there will be anotha vengeance from people who support them.

What 'bout ya? Do ya think that's good for us?
