Eating habits

Be a part of Indonesian society has been a lot of meaning for me, there's many tradition that realise or not, have been surpassed to me ever since my great-great grandparents, it's always like that and sometimes its even not change a bit from the first time that tradition been founded.

the tradition that exist could be a good one or a bad one, well actually you can't always said which one is good or which one is bad, because by my understanding, those tradition are made in their time and i think it sure is fits to it's time because if it doesn't then why people still believe in that and still tell their children to tho exact the same.

one of the tradition in indonesia there are eating food sitting down in ground and eat using your hand. this tradition also known as "lesehan" we can say that indonesian people really like these method of eating, for instance even in high class restaurant that have indonesian taste, there's usually a gazeboo for people to do "lesehan" Indonesian people think that by eating like this, it will help our digestive system and make our body healthier.

the idea of Indonesian people like to do "lesehan" is indonesian people always have an idea that if you eating while sitting down and using your hand, you probably will use the more time to finish your meal, why is that so? because there's must be a conversation between the meal and also it's hard to eat fast, we required to eat slowly and solemnly, which is really good for our digestive system.

what i want to talk about in this article is that the tradition of using hand as eating utensil is actually not originated in indonesia only, i mean since human stepped their feet to earth, how else people can eat their food if not using their hand? well it's kinda rhetorical question since we all know about that. but the truth is this habit is has been performed by the prophet Muhammad SAW by himself and it's included in his sunnah that eating by your bare hand is the best way of eating? why is that so? they said it contains certain enzym or bacteria that good for digestive system.


but nevertheless eating by your hand usually get really messy and dirty, and sometimes when we eat greasy food or something like that it usually kind a hard to wash our hand and sometimes we just really lazy just to wash your hand after eating (usually people just use small amount of water provided called "kobokan") i mean those amount of water did not wash your hand clearly, it just wetting it.

then someting comes out from my mind, why there's not any eating utensil for hand-user-eater like us?
i mean this thing should be there like protecting 5 of our finger, just for the finger not the palm. because usually food never touch the palm section. this utensil can be made out of plastic, metal or anything else. it function is just for protecting your finger for becoming greasy and slimy, not just that but it also help to grab some food.comfortably. 

i  think that's it for today, let's meet again sometime.. cao! have a nice day :D

Backpack revolution

realise or not, backpack have been a part of our modern-daily-life, not sure when the trend began, but by my thought, backpack have been with us since the world war 1, when the soldiers should bring their massive and complicated equipment in battlefield without disturbing their way to move, then backpack is used.

and now, it seems like most of people prefer to using backpack in their daily life, even the aunties whose famous by their purse-bag, now they start to use purse bag that resembles to backpack. why is that? because in our modern world people just want to make everything more practical and easy, and it really suits to backpack instead.

from pre-school children to aunties they all use backpack, from going to school to fight in war zone, backpack always there to complete human task. but there's one thing that come in mind, mostly people use backpack just for carrying goods, well it's not mostly anymore, but everyone still uses backpack for same reason: to carry goods

but have you ever think to use it to something else? beside carrying things?
could it be used to therapy? to exercise? or even to produce energy to recharge your cell phone? one thing come in my mind, well i think it's not fully a breakthrough, but i think it's worth to write, my blog my rule.. hhhaha

first thing is, you know people always have a hard time to carrying heavy items such as cardboard or even sack of rice or so, well i'm not saying what i'm trying to tell you is never seen before, but it's never been officially produce by purpose by factory or else, many people still make it by themselves and it's so rough that it may hurt your skin, if it well made by carbon fiber or so, i think that would be more useful.

and then one more thing, have you ever been having pickaback ride from your father in his shoulder? a lot of parent giving it to their child, but if there were a supporting from back like a backpack or so i think it will be more comfortable for the child or the father himself.

not only that, this supporting can have a function as pillow as well when you are in long travel and having a hard time to release your bag, it will be really helpful, especially for bus passenger that should hanging in the middle of a bus.

well i think that's it from now, have a nice day :)

Sure you have seen like this one before!

seeing a garden or just simply a green-living thing *i mean plant is just refreshing for some of us ;except for those who are maniac and pleased by seeing weird porn; it is said by science it self that we should take a break for our eyes if we ever feel heavy in class, we should take a look out of the window and see distance thing, and also to see some trees. by that you already resting your eyes firmly.

also green is one of the most easiest color to receive for our eyes, i mean the plant itself is here on earth for make our life life doesn't it? can u imagine how the world would look like if there's no plant? it's not earth anymore, but it would call a moon instead.

on the other side of those positive effect, plants more likely can ruin your entire morning if you wake up and take a sneak peek to your window and realize there's a pile of dead leves on your garden, and you will be more pissed if you have big garden and no one there to help you.

well i think it's just a cost of the beauty, well good things doesn't come cheap! well you see, if you one of the guy that doesn't have time to do some trivial stuff like that, you probably just hire people just to mow the lawn. but have you ever come across people who do that?

that job is just suck. if the garden is more likely a field, it's took abaout forever to really clean those up, especially when they have nothing but just broom, it just waste their time and pretty much make their live boring.

probably they can use blower or anything like that, but things like that is not common in my country, most people just use broom to clear those up, and it surely takes a lot of hour. then something comes out of my mind. if i created like a mini tractor that usually used to cut the grass, but instead of cutting the grass, it just work like vacuum for the leaves.

i mean not just like it's pulling the leaf out, i think that will need a lot of energy, but instead of vacuum cleaner, but it's like a roller with rubber spikes in it so it can take those leaves cleanly. even this thing can also be more compact, if we designed in mini.

and by that, i think that will give you an easy way to clean your garden especially when you have tall grass* which is so difficult to use broom in terrain like that.

well se you next friday! have an awesome day guys!

going to the campsite!

Recently i’ve been managing some outdoor event that will probably demand the participant to sleepoutside in the wilderness. Well it’s not a big deal for several people but, mostly in our society nowadays, people always get sicken easily if they're not feel as warm as like in their home.

you can see by yourself, people nowaday go camping by bringing the electrical generator. just to light up the light, and the cell phone charger, but frankly there's not much people like that in Indonesia, it's just too expensive and unaffordable, i mean bringing generator while camping? come on, it's just ruin the camp site atmosphere.

well it's true that people don't always demand a generator, but sure thing is people always demand a good sleep for themshelves, basicly no one will ever go camping without any tent or sleeping bag.
here's come the problem now, we are live in first world quadrans, it's prove by you can read this stuff, unless this goes in print and you read it in newspaper.

back to the problem, you see? we are'nt statisfied enough of camping tent or sleeping bag, the luxury ones are just too expensive and need more space, afterall it's just provide you a shelter. and now comes the question: how about bathing?

take a bath is commonly forgettable in almost any camping experience, but seriously, it's not good for you too, and of course some of the people just can't take a bath for a day, but what these guys should do? if there are no nearest rest room?

so, say hello to the siblings of sleeping bag : bathing bag! this bag will allow you to pour some water in the bag and you just scrub all your body in the bag, the method is simple, it's just a sleeping bag, with extra thickness, 2 water hose, and a soap.

just it, and with this bathing bag, you can do camping in more proper way and more 'exclusive' * i think this bathing bag is suitable for those people whom try to act elegeance but just need more money.
