Read Before You Donate

I got this forwarded message from sehatgroup. Please kindly pay attention for all of you who will donate for the earthquake natural disaster in Yogyakarta.

Attention to everyone in anywhere, please learn from the earthquake happened in Aceh and Nias :

1. DO NOT DONATE POWDERED OR FORMULA MILK.

Your kind help can be delivered in bottled water which is much more advantageous. In emergency condition (such as Yogyakarta earthquake's aftermath), clean ready-to-drink water is hard to get. In addition, the behavior to heat water until it's completely boiled is hard to do due to the absence of adequate stoves and fuel.

Using powdered/formula milk in a handicapped manner and unclean bottle (used to feed) will increase the risk of diarrhea among the victims.

2. DO NOT DONATE BOTTLE INTENDED FOR FEEDING BABIES

The same reason as the above mentioned. Instead, you can donate hand sanitizer and/or soaps because they will afford better protection from diarrhea. Remember, washing hands can decrease 50% risk from illness.

Please understand, in this emergency condition, supporting mothers nutritionally and morally so they are able to breastfeed their children is the best proper choice. Breastmilk is the safest, cheapest, practical, and most suitable for 0-6 months old babies.

My dear friends, we better equipped our kindness with some amount of knowledge. So the charity would not be a cause for further trouble to the people we help.

I’m Resting

I need sometime for myself. My goody youngest son is sooo demanding lately gives me some aches and bruises in some place (and some headaches of course :mrgreen: ). Well, that’s the price I have to pay for a healthy learning boy. I’m happy for it.

So, will you excuse me for having some rest? I’ll be back anytime when I feel like I’m recovered and fresh again. Just wait.

The Cable Trouble

Tadaima!!!

Maafkan sayaaaa… Sebenarnya dari awal pekan ini sudah banyak ide untuk ditulis, tapi ternyata malah tidak bisa terhubung ke internet. Sampai sakit kepala saking kehabisan ide dalam mencari tahu di mana permasalahannya.

Teknisi Speedy bilang, “Tidak ada masalah, mungkin komputernya bervirus.” Heh?! Virus?
Ternyata bukan juga. Dan entah bagaimana, malam ini dapat ide untuk mencabut kabel ethernet, dan mencoba pakai kabel USB saja.
Voila! Connected in a zap!!!! So it’s the ethernet port!

Oh dear, and what was all the ruckus for?!
Ah… testing my patience, I guess. Err… not yet failed, maybe. Because I’m about to borrow my friend’s notebook to test the connection. Striving… struggling… My my… guess who’s become the internet addict now.
Hunny, you did this to me! :lol:

Well, this is just an intro, people. Thank you for keeping the visit! I’ve got bunch of ideas to write. See you tomorrow.
