SHINE YOUR DAY

Life is our choice to live in this world. Everyone absolutely has a good life or bad life. But do you know some people ever think why they don’t have a good life than other people who can get a better life?. Why they must be envy to other people whereas they can get a better life easily? A good life mustn’t have richness, a beautiful face or a brilliant brain. But, a good life is something that we accept how heavy it is. Every problem can solve well if we look it’s certain have a solution. How heavy it is, we can overcome it well. But if you are really stress, try this activity in your day, it’s like :

1. Every morning, you can try to do exercise like running on the street or just
walking for 30 minutes or get a yoga exercise.
2. Eating some fresh food and drink a glass of juice that can make you to be
healthy
3. Going on vacation with your family or friends to some fun places. Don’t walk
alone or in the bedroom alone, because we need to talk with someone.
4. Don’t think this problem since you’re still stress.
5. Do your hobbies that didn’t do until now.
6. For the last is always smile….

Be a good human

Remaja adalah masa – masa yang terindah yang pernah manusia alami. Seperti berkumpul bersama teman – teman, menjalani hobi yang sama maupun pacaran. Tapi tidak sedikit diantara kita yang pernah mengalami masa-masa pacaran bersama seseorang sangat kita sukai. Namun apakah kita saat ini tengah merasakan masa-masa yang indah itu? Jawabannya ada pada hati kita saat ini. Beberapa orang diantaranya tidak pernah merasakan masa-masa bahagia selama remaja. Mungkin karena faktor keluarga maupun lingkungannya. Sebagai contoh anak-anak yatim piatu yang telah ditinggal pergi oleh ibunya karena faktor ekonomi keluarga, atau juga seseorang yang masa-masa kecilnya tidak pernah mendapat kasih sayang oleh orang tuanya yang kejam yang tak segan – segan menyiksanya. Ataupun yang sering kita alami yakni dimarahi oleh orangtua karena melakukan sesuatu yang orangtua pikir itu salah. Memang setiap manusia pasti memiliki masa-masa sulit dalam hidupnya. Namun sekarang coba pikirkan apakah kita mau menjalani hidup seperti ini terus- menerus tanpa ada kebahagiaan dalam diri kita yang selalu kita sembunyikan? Kita diciptakan untuk hidup dengan tujuan untuk mendapat kedamaian dan ketenangan batin. Segala kesulitan yang ada pasti ada jalan keluarnya, Percayalah bahwa semua yang telah Tuhan berikan kepada kita adalah karunia semata. Jangan pernah sekali-kali memandang bahwa cobaan yang saat ini sedang kita alami merupakan suatu kesialan nasib kita, tapi pandanglah hal tersebut sebagai acuan yang membuat diri kita tegar dan lebih maju. Misalnya saja ketika seorang pelajar yang tak dapat meraih cita-citanya untuk mendapat beasiswa sekolah. Padahal Ia telah berusaha dengan keras belajar dengan tekun dan giat demi mendapat apa yang diharapkannya. Namun kegagalan itu bukanlah dijadikan sebagai suatu pengahalang bagi kita untuk mundur dan berputus asa, tapi jadikanlah kegagalan itu sebagai kunci keberhasilan untuk melakukan hal tersebut di lain kesempatan. Ingat pepatah mengatakan ”Fail is first key to get success” : “Kegagalan adalah kunci utama keberhasilan”. Jadi jangan pernah mengatakan “Tidak” untuk mendapatkan apa yang kita inginkan selama kita masih mau berusaha. Apapun masalahnya tetapi jika kita mau merubah diri kita, segalanya juga akan berubah. Nasib bukanlah takdir yang telah ditetapkan Tuhan oleh kita, tetapi nasib adalah suatu hal yang dapat kita ubah selama manusia itu mau merubah nasibnya. Jadi tak ada salahnya bagi kita untuk banyak berusaha, bersabar, dan bertawaqal untuk mencapai sesuatu yang tidak mungkin tetapi mungkin saja bisa kita peroleh.

THE HISTORY OF PIZZA

It's kind of silly to talk about anyone "inventing" pizza. Pizza has undergone a very slow process of evolution over the centuries, but it is quite certainly the cultures of the Mediterranean that deserve credit for creating it. Historical records suggest that people in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome all ate things that are very similar to our modern pizza crust. Ancient Egyptians had a custom of celebrating the Pharaoh's birthday with a flat bread seasoned with herbs, and Herodotus, a Greek historian described Babylonian recipes that are very similar to contemporary pizza crust. The word pizza may be a derivative of the Latin word picea, a word which the Romans used to describe the blackening of bread in an oven.

PREDECESSORS OF PIZZA IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Pizza most clearly took the form that we are now familiar with in pre-Renaissance Naples, a large city in central Italy. Poor peasants used their limited ingredients (wheat flour, olive oil, lard, cheese and natural herbs) to make a seasoned, flat bread garnished with cheese. Mozzarella cheese was one benefit of an invasion from Asian peoples, who brought the water buffalo to Italy. Today, the best mozzarella cheese is still made from water buffalo milk.

The word pizza, as it is currently spelled, also emerged some time in the Middle Ages. It was used to describe both sweet and salty pies that were becoming increasingly popular among Italian aristocracy.

THE FEARED AMERICAN TOMATO

Europeans returning from Peru and Mexico brought with them what was originally thought to be a very poisonous fruit: the tomato. Precisely how they decided that the tomato was actually edible is unclear, but as Southern Europeans overcame their suspicions, the tomato became enormously popular. Today, of course, the tomato is a crucial component of Mediterranean cuisine, and is still used in most pizza recipes.

NAPLES BECOMES THE PIZZA CAPITOL OF THE WORLD

Naples gradually assumed its reputation as having the finest pizza in Italy throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 19th century, pizza became a popular fast food.

Before pizzerias became very popular, however, street vendors (typically young boys) walked around the city with small tin stoves on their heads, calling out to attract customers. While undoubtedly uncomfortable for these 19th-century delivery boys, this street-vending method made pizza ever-more popular, and paved the way for the opening of the world's first pizzeria.

The world's first true pizzeria, "Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba", opened in 1830 and is still in business today at Via Port'Alba 18 in Naples. Pizzerias in this era usually included a large brick oven, a marble counter where the crust was prepared, and a shelf lined with ingredients. Contemporary Neapolitan pizzerias are prepared in the same way they were 100 years ago. The large brick ovens make the pizzerias uncomfortably hot in every season except winter, but the unique flavor of these brick-oven pizzas is unmatched. Pizzaioli (makers of pizza) often assemble the entire pizza on a marble counter right before the customer's eyes.

Some writers have considered the pizza an invention of the man who is responsible for making it an international phenomenon (but the fact that this man worked in a pizzeria makes it difficult to call him the father of pizza!). In 1889, Rafaele Esposito of the Pizzeria di Pietro e Basta Cosi (now called Pizzeria Brandi) baked pizza especially for the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita. To make the pizza a little more patriotic-looking, Esposito used red tomato sauce, white mozzarella cheese and green basil leaves as toppings. Queen Margherita loved the pizza, and what eventually became Pizza Margherita has since become an international standard. Pizzeria Brandi, now more than 200 years old, still proudly displays a royal thank-you note signed by Galli Camillo, "head of the table of the royal household", dated June 1889.

Neapolitan pizza is still widely regarded as the best in the world, probably because of the fresh ingredients available to Neapolitan pizzerias: herbs, garlic, and tomatoes grown in the rich volcanic ash of Vesuvius, and fresh mozzarella from water buffalo milk.

Today, the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (the Association of True Neapolitan Pizza) maintains strict member guidelines for ingredients, dough, and cooking. This elite organization maintains that pizza dough must be made only with flour, natural yeast or brewers yeast, salt and water. Dough must be kneaded by hand or mixers which do not cause the dough to overheat, and the dough must be punched down and shaped by hand. Also, only wood-burning, bell-shaped brick ovens are permitted in pizzerias that belong to this organization. The pizza must be cooked on the surface of the oven (often made of volcanic stone), and not in any pan or container, with oven temperatures reaching at least 400-430° C (750-800° F). These ovens often have to heat up for hours before the first pizza is cooked.

THE COLOURS OF RAMADHAN

Ramadhan tahun ini sangat menyenangkan bagiku, karena pada bulan ini Q masih bisa ngejalanin puasa bareng kelurgaku. Tak terasa umurQ telah menginjak 16 tahun. Itu artinya Q sudah makin dewasa & bisa mandiri. Q teringat masa-masa Ramadhan ketika Q duduk di bangku sekolah dasar. MamaQ sering banget nyuruh Q buat puasa. Coz kalau Q puasa Q dapet uang Rp.1000 dari mamaQ. Itung-itung buat tambahan jajan (he..99x). Tapi semenjak itu Q mikir-mikir lagi kalau Q puasa cuman karena mengharap uang dari mama berarti Q nggak ikhlas ngejalanin puasa. Memang, mulai Q duduk di kelas 1 SD, Q sudah bisa puasa sampai Dhuhur alias Puasa Bedhug. Trus Q coba puasa sampai Ashar & akhirnya Q puasa sampai Maghrib (walupun kadang-kadang ada yang bolong 1 hari J). Namun Q sekarang tahu apa hikmah dibalik puasa itu. Kalau kita ngejalanin puasa iru dengan sungguh-sungguh, ikhlas, & hanya berharap pahala dari Allah, segala apa yang kita harapkan insyaallah akan terwujud. Karena di bulan Ramadhan, Allah tidak segan-segan melimpahkan karunia dan rahmat kepada kita semua. Selain itu juga kita harus sabar dan mensyukuri apa yang kita miliki saat ini, mis: diberi kesehatan, umur yang panjang, teman-teman yang baik yang menghargai kita serta orang-orang yang masih menyayangi kita (bkn cuma pacar lho, Tapi juga ortu & saudara kita). Q sebagai penulis artikel ini juga berbuat demikian. Q juga harus introspeksi diri & menjadi manusia yang lebih baik dari yang sebelumnya. Karena semua maunsia itu pasti mempunyai kesalahan masing-masing. Kalau tahun depan kita nggak bisa ketemu dengan ramadhan lagi, trus apa kita cuma diem diri aja. Coz of that, ayo kita saling memperbanyak berbuat kebajikan karena semakin banyak kita berbuat kebajikan maka semakin besar pula pahala yang kita dapatkan Amieen…
