Zodiac

Do you believe in prophecy? Mmmm ... well, I think if it's a future prediction thing so I'm sure I cannot believe easily, but if it's just horoscope telling the character of certain group of people, so partly I trust it because I have ever faced it in reality to some group having the character mentioned but not all, just a part of it. Barely found the full character of the zodiac said, so don't believe it fully, just let it as reference about yourself and the people around you, maybe you need to know how are the people standing behind you. So just take a look for a while and give comment how much you fit on it.

Knowing The Movie (2009)

Today, I use the holiday time to watch movie together with my friends. It's been a long days before, I have dealt to watch this movie I really wanna see and curious about. The title is "Knowing", starred by Nicolas Cage. Have you ever watched this movie? I guess some of you have watched it, and had a plenty of opinion about this movie.

Okey, about my opinion. Overall, it was so thrilling me up at the beginning, but ... from the middle to the ending part, this is soooo trash. I feel disappointed because I'd been attracted and intimidated to imagine some tension circumstances at the beginning, but in the end it really fools me after all. The weird thing is when some strangers out of no where, chasing the kids, showing us that the movie is spooky enough to be science-fiction or thriller movie which based on what-on-earth matter. Moreover, when the strangers is actually an alien to bring the child to the safest place. What the hell is that? It makes us all laughing, because the movie lost control to bring its genre.

So, if I may remake this movie, I want to make some modification in the alien part. I have never dealt with it in order to keep the flow of the genre. Maybe I want the alien part is modified to be despair part which makes the movie become sad-ending, or maybe I will modify to be the solution part which makes it is happy ending after all. It shall be better, ain't it?

And how about your opinion?
How will you modify the movie to remake the alien part?

Tips To Handle Sleepiness At Work

Recently, I got over and over into sleepiness while working at the office. Why is it happened at all working day? A whole day from 8 to 8 (if overtime), and almost a whole week from Sunday to Saturday, always like this.

Now I have to find some ways to handle it, I just don't want to work with no spirit and an empty mind. So I'll try to make some points which are effective to exorcist the sleepiness such to exorcist an evil at working time. All of you can do this either, here are the effective ways to recover from sleepiness:


  1. Get plenty of sleep the night before.

  2. Most of us won’t do it, because there are always things to do to kill the meantime in the night, such as watching TV or movie, surfing internet, and playing games over and over. Normally, we get in bed seven or eight hours before we need to get up. Watch TV or reading book if you must, but just being in bed will signal your brain and body to start shutting down. Over time, if you stick with it, you should start falling asleep earlier and earlier.


  3. Drink coffee

  4. I think it's the effective way to stay awake, but I won't give it as an advice because there are negative effects to your health with constant use of caffeine.



  5. Take a walk

  6. Doing short, leisurely activities also helps to increase blood flow and wake you up. Getting away from your desk or work area and out of the building will rejuvenate your senses. Even if all you have time for is a quick step outside for a breath of fresh air, you’ll feel more awake when you get back to work.



  7. Stretching

  8. Stretching wakes up the mind as well as the body. Stretching causes the muscles to contract, which causes an increase of blood flow, which can increase you alertness and brain function. Two or three times a day, stand up and move around. Reach, bend, twist and touch your toes to keep that blood flowing, letting your brain and body know that despite sitting stationary for up to eight hours a day, you are still awake!


  9. Eat out

  10. Even if you bring your lunch, get away from your desk and, preferably, out of the office. A change of environment for thirty minutes to an hour will do wonders for your mind, body and soul.


  11. Give yourself a rub up.

  12. Rub both your arms and legs slowly. On your arms start from your wrist and end with your shoulder. On your legs start with your ankles. You can do this in a straight line or from side to side. Add a bit of pressure while rubbing. This also increases blood flow.


  13. Socialize

  14. Step away from work now and then to talk to your co-workers and supervisors. Not only will it wake you up, but also strengthen your work relationships. Keep the conversation work-related and technically you're still working.




  15. Take a mini mind vacation

  16. Make sure you do this sitting up, so you don’t fall asleep. Close your eyes and slowly breath in and out. Now think about some place that you would really like to go or some place that you have been that you really enjoyed. Imagine yourself there. Continue this for 5 minutes.


  17. Don’t give into it

  18. We always find that when we are tired, we complain about how tired we are. If we stop the thought and shake it off we feel much better.




  19. Dunk your head in cold water

  20. It wakes us up every time. I bet it would!

Tips: How to Hypnotize

Yeah, I'm being curious how some mind-expert can do hypnotize to people. So, I just want to learn how to do that, maybe someday I'll be able to hypnotize people to preserve all things I want, hahaha. I think it's interesting thing to try with your friend first. If it works, so you can practice with the strangers, very fun to do, huh?

Now, are you as curious as I am to do this silly thing? I bet you will because once it works, it shall be your ecstasy. But, don't forget not to do it as criminality. OK, I got the tips from e-How, so let's learn together from the tips below:

How to Hypnotize Someone


There are several approaches one can take to hypnotize a person easily. From the use of stress and anxiety to the use of child like abandon and meditative release, it is easy to hypnotize another person. You don't need a swinging clock to put someone under your spell. All you need is a little step by step instruction and a clear understanding of which approach will work best for you.

  1. Use the stage method. With authority and esteem command the subject to perform a series of rapid instructions.

  2. Overwhelm the subject with a series of commands that work to incite stress and anxiety.

  3. Use the full command of your authority to overwhelm the person. Create a rapid fire succession of commands that direct the subject to follow each as he releases his will to resist your authority.

  4. Command the subject to move further into his subconscious, moving incrementally to a deeper state with each beat. Begin to count from 10 to two.

  5. End by instructing the subject that he will be hypnotized when you say the number "one."

  6. With force-full authority instruct the subject to into a hypnotized state by acknowledging the number "one." The subject is now hypnotized.

  7. Use the therapist method. Talk the subject into a deep hypnosis trance with slow meditative communication.

  8. Lead the subject step by step into a deep trance. Using a tender, steady, monotone voice, instruct the subject to count from 20 to zero.

  9. Tap your foot to create a rhythm for the patient. You can also count down from five to zero to provide an example for the subject to follow. Use your voice to build trust.

  10. Instruct the subject to move further and further within his subconscious. He should move further and further within his subconscious until it totally takes over.

  11. Explain that you will gently tap the subject on the forward three times when she reaches the number zero. Instruct the subject that when she feels the third light tap on her forehead, she will be 100 percent within her subconscious mind.

  12. Guide the patient with three light taps. On the third tap, pause and then ask, "Tell me what you see."

  13. Talk the person through the event, memory, tragedy or fear that his subconscious mind now rests.



Do you still confused or maybe now you don't have a friend to practice? It's okay, I think you have to practice alone before you can do it with another person. Let's practice to do self-hypnotize with the instruction below.


How to Do Self-Hypnosis



Things You’ll Need:
  • Armchairs
  • Candles
  • Pocket Watches
  • Relaxation Tapes
  • Relaxing CDs
  • Candles

Sequence to do self-hypnotize:
  1. Recognize that to be hypnotized is to enter a trance state. You will be very focused, but will also be aware of what is happening around you.

  2. Sit in a comfortable chair or recline on a couch in a quiet place. Be sure that your clothes are loose and comfortable and the temperature is not too warm or cool.

  3. Turn down the lights so that it's not too bright. It doesn't need to be dark.

  4. Relax. You can have your eyes open or closed, whichever is most comfortable for you.

  5. Let yourself go loose. Feel every muscle go limp. Feel your mind slow down. Good.

  6. Breathe deeply and hold it. Feel all of your stress and worries sucked from your body and your head into your lungs. Blow them out slowly and watch them swirl away from you.

  7. Notice the different colors of each concern. See them float away and dissolve in the air. You are feeling more and relaxed with every breath.

  8. Feel your heart. It is strong and slow. You can feel it beating, slowly, slowly. Each time you exhale, your body relaxes more. You are calm and safe. You can feel your heart. It's beating so slowly.

  9. Feel your toes. They feel empty and light. They want to float away. That lightness is spreading up your legs, through your hips and into your back. Your body is so empty. You can see through it.

  10. Feel your arms. They feel empty. Your shoulders are empty. Your neck is empty. Your head is floating, weightless. You feel so calm.

  11. Feel liquid begin to fill your body through your navel. It's deep blue. It feels cool and comfortable. Watch it fill up your body. Cool blue. When you are full, you will feel calm and completely at ease.

  12. Now open your eyes and sit up. Your cool, blue feeling will stay with you.



So???
It's working???

Backpacking to Europe

Well, this is for a long-term planning. Me and my friend have to save our money just to backpack to Europe. Many countries will be our destination, so as a reference, I give you information about the country and its tourism place.


Netherlands-Amsterdam


Source : http://www.iexplore.com

The Netherlands today has dispelled all images of it being an archaic land of clogs and windmills, with its string of exciting cities, including the cosmopolitan capital, Amsterdam – one of Europe’s great cities. Elsewhere, Arnhem, Eindhoven, The Hague, Utrecht and the especially buzzing Rotterdam all boast their own charms.


Away from the cities, the idyllic land of windmills and tulips does still exist in the bucolic splendor of the countryside, as do a number of coastal towns and resorts, many with fine beaches and similarly interesting heritages to The Netherlands’ bigger historical cities.







Luxembourg-Luxembourg City


Source : http://www.luxembourg.co.uk


It is an attractive country with a green and picturesque landscape of rolling hills and valleys, and many closely packed historical sites. Visitors will also discover forests, vineyards and striking sandstone rock formations here. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg shares borders to the north and west with Belgium, to the south with France and to the east with Germany. One-third of the country is made up of the hills and forests of the Ardennes, while the rest is wooded farmland. In the southeast is the rich wine-growing valley of Moselle. The capital, Luxembourg-Ville, is built on a rock overlooking the Alzette and Petrusse valleys.


Belgium-Brugges, Brussels, Antwerp


Source : http://www.iexplore.com

The anachronistic images of ‘boring Belgium’ have been well and truly banished over the last decade as the country promotes its key destinations, along with a string of new attractions. Belgium always had a lot more going for it than the faceless political and bureaucratic buildings that litter its capital, Brussels, with a string of engaging cities in Bruges, Ghent, Liège - and Brussels itself - that offer impressive architecture, lively nightlife, first-rate cuisine and numerous other attractions for visitors. Then there is reinvented Antwerp, now a hotbed of fashion and modern design, and the more bucolic charms of the chocolate box beauty of the mountainous Ardennes region to the east, as well as the sweeping sand of the coastline resorts of the western seaboard.


England-London


Source : http://www.mapsofworld.com

England’s eventful history and scenic diversity render it one of the world’s most popular visitor destinations. It reserves journeys to rolling green hillsides, national parks and to many sophisticated cities. Tourists get to visit castles, palaces and stately homes. The beautiful gardens in Plymouth and Bath are fascinating. The Stonehenge, an ancient stone monument is about 4,000 years old and is a must visit spot for all tourists to England. You must take tour to London, where you get to see famous city landmarks such as Big Ben, Harrods, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and Windsor Castle.


Scotland-Edinburgh, Glasgow


Source : http://www.iexplore.com

Scotland is famous primarily for its spectacular scenery, but it also offers a rich historical and cultural heritage, together with a wide range of activities. Scotland’s landscape is as varied as it is beautiful. Rugged peaks sweep down to breathtaking lochs, glistening in remote glens like Glen Affric near Inverness and Loch Trool in Galloway. A straggling coastline, with white sandy beaches, sheltered bays and rocky cliffs, looks out to the remote islands in the Atlantic. To the south, the rolling hills of the Borders, lush lowland pastures and extensive woodlands present a softer beauty.


Ireland-Dublin, Galway, Wicklow Bay

Ireland is the third largest island in Europe and the twentieth largest in the world. Within its more than 80,000 square kilometers of land are vast lands of scenic views and historic value.

Famous for its 17th century walls, Derry also has some exciting tourist attractions: Tower Museum, Guildhall, St. Columb’s Cathedral, St. Eugene’s Cathedral and St. Augustine’s Chapel. After Belfast and Derry, the third largest town in Northern Ireland is Bangor, considered as the wealthiest town of the nation. In their marina (the biggest in Ireland) is thePickie Fun Park.

Towns like Orange, and Arles but also big cities like Marseille and Toulon are must sees. The Provence is dotted with pleasant small villages. In the South west of France the Dordogne is one of the most quintessential French regions. The valley is so pretty, the towns are so cute and the food is so good, that it is hard to believe that the people who live here go somewhere else for their holidays. The Languedoc has its own language and culture. In the south of the Languedoc you find the Pyrenees, a great mountain range separating France from Spain, where you can hike and ski. The towns of Toulouse and Montpellier are nice and the medieval town of Carcassone is a top destination.


Italy-Milan, Venice, Cinque Terre (Manarola), Rome, Florence, Isle of Capri

Italy is a beautiful country but is one of those countries which you probably have some questions and preconceptions, before your coming to this special country. A place of olive oil, pasta, wine, mafia and sunshine, roman ruins and renaissance palaces, Italy has a lot to give its tourists. Italy is a country full of interesting things for the casual tourist and the educated tourist, it has deep Roman Catholic roots.

Source : http://www.iexplore.com

Often cited as the birthplace of European civilization, Greece offers a heady mix of ancient archaeological sites, chic design hotels, rustic tavernas, family-orientated seaside resorts and hedonistic dance clubs. Ancient Greece reached its zenith in the fifth century BC when Athens became the cultural and artistic center of the Mediterranean, producing magnificent works of architecture, sculpture, drama and literature. There is no denying that the historical and cultural heritage of Greece continues to resonate throughout the modern Western world - in its literature, art, philosophy and politics. In fact, many travelers come here specifically to explore Greece's ancient wonders, from Athens' Parthenon and Delphi's Temple of Apollo, to the ruins of the Minóan city of Knossós on Crete.

Scattered throughout the calm blue waters of the Aegean and the Ionian are Greece's 1,400 islands - each with its own special story. The serenity of islands like Kefalonia and Amorgos contrasts with the hedonistic party islands such as Mykonos and Páros. Those interested in architecture should visit the medieval fortified towns of Rhodes and Corfu (both UNESCO World Heritage sites), and the whitewashed cubic houses of Thira and Oia on Santorini, typical of the Cyclades.



Spain-San Sebastian, Barcelona, Alicante, Seville

Spain is more than bullfights, flamenco dancers and crowded beaches. It's a spectacular and diverse country, the north resembling the rolling, green hills of Ireland and the south giving you a taste of Moroccan landscapes and architecture. Its tremendous history is reflected in its prehistoric cave paintings, Moorish palaces, crumbling castles, Roman ruins, Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals as well as some very distinctive modern architecture. The uniqueness of Spain lies in the separate kingdoms which made up the original Spanish nation. These regions remain diverse in their language, culture, cuisine and art. They include: Andalucía, Aragon, Asturias, Basque Country, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla La Mancha, Castilla León, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Navarra and Valencia. Areas of interest are not limited to each region.


Switzerland-Interlaken, Geneva, Lucerne, Zurich

Small, mountainous and wealthy, with a population of just 7.5 million, Switzerland is renowned for its enviable quality of life in a country that ticks along like clockwork. Its products are sought after the world over, from its delicious cheese and chocolate to luxurious watches whose timekeeping is as sharp as a Swiss Army Knife, another popular export from this sophisticated Alpine nation.



Switzerland is not only a place for professionals, though. As a stylish tourist destination it offers such top ski resorts as Zermatt, Verbier and celebrity-studded St Moritz, while the white peaks of mountains set against blue skies make a wonderful backdrop for summertime hiking. The ancient capital of Berne provides superb opportunities for sightseeing, shopping and traditional folk entertainment while the largest city, Zürich leads the way in arts, design and nightlife, from opera and world-class theater to stylish bars and nightclubs.


Czech. Republic-Prague

A historic jewel hidden away at the heart of Europe, the Czech Republic packs a lot of punch for such a small country. No bigger than Scotland or South Carolina, it’s crammed with fairytale castles, medieval towns, elegant spa resorts and scenic national parks. And on top of all that, it’s the birthplace of the world’s finest beer.

Almost everyone who visits the Czech Republic goes to Prague, with its imposing castle, great museums and galleries, jazz clubs and concerts and other attractions.

The spectacular mountainous region around Kintamani with its deep Crater Lake and bubbling hot springs, make this region a must to visit. Batur Lake is the largest lake in Bali and the region offers some of the most spectacular views to be found anywhere on the island. Batur Lake also provides water for an underground network of streams and springs across the southern slopes of the mountain. Kintamani is really great for day trips, trekking or simply for getting away from it all for a few days.

Trunyan is another ancient village inhabited by people who call themselves the “Bali Aga” or old Bali who live in ways that are vastly different from other Balinese. The Bali Aga's temple in this village is named Puser Jagat, meaning Navel of the Universe. Its architecture is highly unusual, and stands in the protective shade of a massive banyan tree.

The Bali Aga has a strange way of burial. Instead of cremating their corpses, the Bali Aga simply places them under this banyan tree. The odor is mysteriously masked by a special arboreal fragrance emitted by the banyan tree.
