Chef in Love

Beberapa orang yang baru mengenal saya 3- 4 tahun belakangan pastinya sudah mengklaim gw totally ga bisa masak.
ok. saya mau buka rahasia.

Sebenarnya saya dulu adalah pemasak (asal kata "masak") ..artinya memasak ya sudah biasa. Bahkan makanan anak-anak waktu mereka bayi lebih suka saya masak sendiri. Almarhum suami beserta teman-teman kerjanya itu pelanggan setia masakan saya karena selain biasa memasak saya juga hobby makan ramai-ramai..

Saya baru tau kalau memasak itu adalah ekspresi cinta ( halahh). Ga heran kalau di rumah ibu , sekenyang apapun saya pasti buka tudung saji trus ambil piring apapun lauknya. Itu pasti karena ibu saya memasak dengan penuh cinta.

Saya baru sadar kalau ternyata dalam kurun waktu 3 or 4 thn yang lalu otomatis bahkan menggoreng telor saja saya ga mau dengan berbagai macam alasan sampai akhirnya keluarlah cap bahwa saya ga bisa masak. Sehingga bisa dipastikan pasti dalam kurun waktu dimana saya tidak bisa memasak sama sekali itu pasti saya tidak dipenuhi cinta (selain terhadap Gabriel & Michelle)

Puji Tuhan sekarang saya mulai ke dapur lagi.

taraaaa....in hasilnya. meskipun rasanya ga sehebat koki hotel bintang 5 tapi menunggu expresi yang makan itu sesuatu banget :p

kalau cuma masak makanan sehari2 aja sih udah bisa sambil ngenet ..#sengak #belagu

kalau ada yang bilang bahwa masakan membuat orang jatuh cinta, saya memasak karena saya penuh cinta.. (yukk cynnn..)

so, saya ga bisa masak? itu cuma hoax...


ps :

1. foto2 disini akan saya update setiap kali habis masak..
tapi maaf untuk sementara belum bisa terima pesanan soalnya cintanya cuma buat seorang #eaaaaa

2. aku pun sudah bisa bikin cookies ..yippiee

3. bikin pie masih belum berhasil :((

4. sekarang udah ga sempet motret tiap kali habis masak karena keburu habis :D

Tablas Flamencas

Flamenco is a genre of music and dance which has its foundation in Andalusian music and dance and in whose evolution Andalusian Gypsies played an important part. The cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), dance and palmas (handclaps) are the principal facets of flamenco.

It is the journey through the different Flamenco styles, called " Palos" in spanish. The singer, the dancer and the guitar player evoke all the emotions.

This show underlines the fact that Flamenco is a living art form, in constant evolution, a dynamic expression, a way to sense sound, movement, music and life.

ARTISTS:
Marisol Navarro (dancer)
Jonatan Miró (dancer)
David Vázquez (singer)
Fernando de la Rua (guitarist)

Grand Launching KompasTV

Sekarang mungkin kita agak bisa bernafas lega dengan hadirnya chanel station TV terbaru yang sangat menginspirasi Indonesia. Adalah KompasTV, sebuah perusahaan media yang mengemas program tayangan news, adventure & knowledge, entertainment dengan menekankan pada eksplorasi Indonesia baik budayanya maupun kekayaan alam.

Kelebihan KompasTV adalah sebagai kanal TV berbayar pertama yang memiliki kualitas High Definition ( HD) sehingga menghasilkan kualitas gambar dengan kontur yang jelas dan warna lebih tajam. Di samping itu KompasTV juga mengarah pada system televisi digital yang menjadi standar international.

Dalam Grand Launchingnya yang diadakan di Jakarta Convention Centre, jumat 9 september 2011 yang lalu, digelar Simfoni Semesta Raya dengan mengkolaborasikan beberapa musisi ternama, penyanyi dan penari.

Gw cuma mau curcol sedikit nih tentang malam itu..
When I read the rundown acara tertulis musisi dan artis pendukung yang namanya sudah cukup terkenal di tanah air dengan karyanya yang bukan main-main lagi. Sebut saja Adhie MS, Erwin Gutawa, Gita Gutawa, Sandy Sondhoro, dll. Anyway, teman-teman photographer kecewa berat ketika tau bahwa batasan mereka memotret tidak boleh melewati barisan tamu VIP/gold atau dengan kata lain mereka hanya boleh memotret dari tribun yang ..mmmm….lensanya tentu aja harus mumpuni. Teman-teman photographer pasti tambah kecewa kalau tau yang ada di barisan depan panggung itu ternyata cuma segerombolan anak-anak 4**Y yang dibayar oleh coordinator penggemar band untuk hore2, sorak2 ga jelas, males2an, sibuk motret narcis pake HP dan yang lebih nyebelin mereka malah komentar yang aneh-aneh ketika tarian nusantara perform.
I was trap at there!! ( but doesnt mean I 'm 4**Y :p ).
IMHOS ( In My Humble Opinion Seriously) acaranya will be ok without them.

Curcolan satu lagi adalah..i was starving enough on that night and i' m sure i was not the only one :D #kode

KompasTV mulai tayang perdana pada tgl 9 September yang lalu di sepuluh kota di Indonesia (Medan, Palembang, Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar, Banjarmasin, dan Makassar) yang jumlahnya akan terus ditambah.

Untuk program tayangan di KompasTV bisa dilihat di sini

Mudah2an sesuai misi & visinya KompasTV benar-benar bisa menghapus citra buruk pertelevisian yang isinya cuma sinetron yang never ending sequel itu..

Bicycle in Japan

Bicycle has become an integral part of Japan society. Almost everybody rides in every weather, from dressed businessman to grandmother, picking up the children from preschool, doing the daily groceries , communiting to work or university, all can be seen through the city street and side walk. Foreigners who arriving in Japan are often surprised.

Bicycles are known as jitensha or charinko (slang). The most common bicycles for every day use are typically equipped with a basket for carrying groceries and other items and/or a child seat (or two), a simple lock, a kickstand and just one gear. If we buy a new bicycle, the registration process will likely be handled by the store, but if we take over a used bicycle from somebody else, you are supposed to re-register the bicycle under your name at the local police station in order to avoid misunderstandings. In Japan we have to pay for throwing the used thing. That’s why somehow as my friend who lived there said, if the used bicycle park completely with the registration letter means you can have it..woww.

There are dedicated bicycle parking areas near most railwaystations and shopping centers due to the high popularity of bicycles. the bicycle is as ordinary as the dawn. Large housing blocks and metro stops have bicycle parking structures, and busy shopping districts may even have pay parking lots for bikes. Day and night, everywhere you go, the bicycle is there.

In Indonesia, the funny thing is if there is someone rides a bicyle may other people will think that those is poor man..or..now bicycling such a kind of trend since there's a bicycle community - really hard work- champaigning GO GREEN but most people misunderstand make those bicycle as a life style due its price..:(

A Letter from Panthera

Dear human,

I just lost my friend a  months ago. I thought he lost while hunting for some food but sadly he was caught in a trap made by you. He couldn’t do nothing, tried to survive without food and water for 7days while his right leg severely wounded and surrounded by insect. Some of you tried to help but it was too late. He was 18 months years old.

( watch the video about my friend )

The story begin while oneday we heard no more nature sound in our land but the noisy machine. It was not far away from the place where we used to play together or just lay down after did hunting. You called our home a forest. As you know forest ecosystem covers the flora and  fauna. Beside the animal the herbivores also live. The tree, grass and other plants that those animal need for food. As a top predator we have to hunt for food. We have to make sure that all animal -who live in -that we eats live.




Now felled trees everywhere. You’ve been trying to remove our land  and converted to a nonforest use. And due to spreading areas such as well as encroachment by logging and road building activities, we threated of habitat loss and we cannot live in places where trees have vanished. We were forced into areas closer to humans. Sometimes we lost and being killed or arrested while entering rural. Since forests also catch and help store rainwater and protect soils you have to remember that areas with less trees lead to floods and other disaster that effect to human.




Do you know when you save the forest means you save our habitat means you save us means you also save yourself?. Do you know we are at the top of the foodchain for the protection off all species on our earth?. Do you know saving the tigers means saving mankinds?. Well  I guess, on behalf of our community, & sure that you are smarter than us.

We just need our land back so our community can live along and you too. Stop hunting and trapping us in our own land.

Thank you
