About Indonesian Students(edited)

I would like to report from what I have interviewed about student’s food and their weekend activities. This time I just focus to their food prefer and weekend activities. Some of Indonesian students are influenced with globalization. For example about food, they prefer junk food than homemade food and at the topic about weekend activity some of them prefer playing online games at weekend.

FOOD

In Indonesia there are many fast food restaurants that condition makes some of teenagers prefer junk food than homemade food. Junk foods contain bad fats and chemical preservative. I asked some Indonesian teenagers about which one do they like between junk food and homemade food. Three of five persons refer to junk food because it is faster to be served and tastier without think about the healthiness and the risk of consuming them. But the other who chooses homemade food reasoned that homemade foods are healthier and more economical.

WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

Many Indonesian teenagers are confused about what are they going to do when weekend comes. Activity on weekend is necessary because that is the only time for them to do refreshing after a five-day-study beside holiday. I have asked five students about what are their activities during weekend between indoor and outdoor. Four of them are telling me that they prefer indoor activities such as playing game, sleeping and do rest. But the one of five does outdoor activity during weekend. He walks in the morning with his family. That is all I know about Indonesian teenage activities after interviewing five students in my class.

Winter in Sydney!

Hello!

I already arrived at Sydney, Australia. It is a great
place but the weather is very cold so I must bring my jacket wherever I go. I stay
in my uncle’s house here. He’s house is quite distant from the city, so I have
to get a bus and train to go to the city.

Tomorrow I take a city tour with my uncle’s family. I have
been to the Sydney Tower where I can see a whole city from the top of the
building. Seriously, it is very beautiful and awesome. I can see many people
walk along the street like ant troopers. I have been to Opera House too. It’s
very beautiful building I ever seen. It looks like a wave in the ocean. Actually
it just a theater building, but I can’t get inside, because there isn’t any
performance inside. And only very popular artist can perform in the Opera
House. In my mind, I thought that finally I can touch this amazing building
that I just can see it in the picture before. 

I feel so happy because it is the first time I’ve been
here. I think I will stay here for a long time to spend my holiday here again. Will
you come with me? I’ll text you soon

Cheers

Fresh from Turkey:)

Hello:)

Can you believe where I am now? I'm at the one of the mall in the great country, TURKEY! It has been a week since I told you I'll go to some place to get some refreshing, and here I am (hope you are not jealous at me:p). Fortunately, I didn't get homesick as usually come if I go to far place from home. Turkey is so cozy and comfort. It doesn't just entertain us, but there's many antique places that I have been touring this week.

First I came here, our guide quickly took us to Bosphorus Bridge. It's 30 years old, he said. It was just amazing to see it, especially at night. And I really really want to get there again.

Who doesn't know Blue Mosque? If you one of them, you're really really pity. It's a very popular mosque there!  What's special? On the summer evenings, 9pm, there will be historical narrative and a light show at the Blue Mosque, in Turkish, English, French, and German. How cool wondering I came exactly in the summer:-)

Sorry, I must go. My guide already tell us to go to the next destination, it's time to shopping. I'll buy for you, of course! Actually, I miss you here, hope you are here and refreshing together in this country:( I'm going back in 2 days, said the schedule. I'll write again as soon as possible.

Best wishes from here,

Will It be Possible to Live Forever?

Everyone wants to have long life, but some of them are finding the way to live forever. Each of them has their own reason why are they wanted to live forever. But God have another plan for God’s creature. God cannot let the creature live forever because it will harm the earth. For example, many people logging without care about nature continuation. Many species extinct in connection with human’s wild activities.  Even though many scientists attempt so hard for creating the recipe of immortal God cannot let human live forever because some reasons.

Sometimes human consume unhealthy food and harm what God have give to them, like their digestive system or their brain. People consume junk food and ignore their bad effect. Unhealthy food or even dangerous dish decrease human’s body performance they may cause clogging fat and many more. Clogging fat will clog human’s heart activities and that may reduce the human’s age.

Human can easily damage the earth because what they did. Some of humans have gone wild and never think how their world will end. Illegal logging and contaminated river are insane humans have did. They are selfish and arrogant but another side of human started to realize that their loved earth is not an immortal thing.  And try to recover earth with many ways. If God let these happen there will be many creatures harmed. That is why God will not let human gets what we call with immortality, God the only one who can.

Will It Possible to Live Forever?

We know many facts about lifestyle in our life. It affects our life and our life time. For example, in Jakarta there are many bad lifestyles that influence people’s life. An unhealthy diet, little exercise, and irregular working and sleeping hours are some examples of bad lifestyle in Jakarta.

The fact about number of health people is everybody believes that human can live in 70 years maximum. It ensued from the bad lifestyle. Many adults in 40 years old are already contract many kind of disses. They cannot maintain their life so their body poisoned by the virus from many factor of bad lifestyle.

Biologists said that every living thing have a time for their life. Nobody knows when you will die. But we will and must die. Our organ has a time for living. When our organs cannot work optimally, it will disturb another organ. And when our organs cannot work anymore we will die. Absolutely we want to have a good, right?

To keep healthy we must live in the good lifestyle. Doing some exercise every day, no smoking, no alcoholic drinking, no drugs, work in the right schedule, are some examples of a good and healthy life style. If we obey the suggestion we can live in a long time and enjoy the life in healthy situation.

To conclude, I think it’s impossible to live forever. Maybe some people can live until a hundred years, but when the time is come they will come back to God’s Home. But we can live in a long time by obeying and doing the healthy lifestyle. Maybe not for forever but long time enough to enjoy the life.

Will it be possible to live forever?

Will it be possible to live forever? Hmm, this is an interesting question isn't it? It's might be hard to answer this question. But i think it's impossible for humans, animals, and also plants to live forever, or usually people known as immortal.

Because as we all know, our heart is working automatically and it's only obey with God. Even an extraordinary person, like Prophet Muhammad SAW, he wasn't live forever, how about us?

There are so many movies that has a story about immortal, but that is just someone's imagination to entertain people to watch that movie. As you know there are also some movies that tell us about "the end of the world" where all of humans on this world will die, and yeah of course i do believe it will really happen, but only God who knows when it will happen.
