Healthy Life

Today tanggal 23 Agustus 2010, aku mulai mencoba hidup sehat. Tatkala aku melihat temanku terkena serangan Stroke Penyempitan batang Otak, sungguh membuatku ngeri sekali. Sehingga pola hidup sehat harus dilakukan segera mungkin. Yaa hari ini hari Senin tepatnya aku memulai hidup tanpa nasi. ^_^ Semoga aku kuat menjalaninya. Aku akan mencoba makan hanya dengan sayur-sayuran dan buah-buahan saja. Pola makan yang akan kulakukan teratur ini harus kosisten kujalankan. Targetku 1 minggu dulu dalam melakukan Pola makan sehat ini.

"Hidup Sehat itu sebenarnya Tidaklah Mahal... Tapi Mengapa Justru kita memilih Makanan Tidak Sehat dengan Membayar dengan harga yang Mahal..."

New Stuff (Blackberry Silver)

Blackberry Silver akhirnya kubeli juga.

Awalnya aku menilai bahwa tidak perlu menggunakan Blackberry untuk hubungan Komunikasiku,. Cukup dengan HP MITO yang kupakai sehari-hari saja, namun semakin banyak teman-temanku yang menggunakan Blackberry ini maka membuatku berpikir bahwa lebih banyak manfaat positifnya menggunakan Blackberry ini yaitu dengan fasilitas BBM dan YM-nya, sehingga membuatku membeli New Stuff ini. ^_^

Semoga Blackberry ini bisa menemani perjalanan hidupku untuk waktu yang lama. ^_^

Hachikō (ハチ公)

Hachikō (ハチ公, November 10, 1923–March 8, 1935), known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公, "faithful dog Hachikō" ('hachi' meaning 'eight', a number referring to the dog's birth order in the litter, and 'kō,' meaning prince or duke)). Hachikō was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture, remembered for his loyalty to his owner, even many years after his owner's death.

Life

In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo took in Hachikō as a pet. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him out from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting. Hachikō was loyal and every day for the next nine years he waited sitting there amongst the town's folk.
Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.
The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for nine years with Hachikō appearing precisely when the train was due at the station.
 

Death

Hachikō died on March 8, 1935. He was found on a street in Shibuya. His heart was infected with filarial worms and 3-4 yakitori sticks were found in his stomach. His stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.

Remembrance

1. Bronze statues

Thestatue of Hachikō in Shibuya.

In April 1934, a bronze statue in his likeness was erected at Shibuya Station (35°39′32.6″N 139°42′2.1″E / 35.659056°N 139.700583°E / 35.659056; 139.700583), and Hachikō himself was present at its unveiling. The statue was recycled for the war effort during World War II. In 1948 The Society for Recreating the Hachikō Statue commissioned Takeshi Ando, son of the original artist who had since died, to make a second statue. The new statue, which was erected in August 1948, still stands and is an extremely popular meeting spot. The station entrance near this statue is named "Hachikō-guchi", meaning "The Hachikō Exit", and is one of Shibuya Station's five exits.
The Japan Times played a practical joke on readers by reporting that the bronze statue was stolen a little before 2AM on April 1, 2007, by "suspected metal thieves". The false story told a very detailed account of an elaborate theft by men wearing khaki workers' uniforms who secured the area with orange safety cones and obscured the theft with blue vinyl tarps. The "crime" was allegedly recorded on security cameras.
A similar statue stands in Hachikō's hometown, in front of Ōdate Station. In 2004, a new statue of Hachikō was erected on the original stone pedestal from Shibuya in front of the Akita Dog Museum in Odate.

2. Annual ceremony

Each year on April 8, Hachikō's devotion is honored with a solemn ceremony of remembrance at Tokyo's Shibuya railroad station. Hundreds of dog lovers often turn out to honor his memory and loyalty.

Life Is A Bright Sky

Life is like a bright sky;
and clouds represent instances of unhappy times.

Sometimes the clouds are so dark;
It’s hard to remember the sun still shines.

Be patient. The light will return.
It’s just waiting for an opportunity to peek through.

Kadang jika kita sakit, maka kita baru menyadari bertapa beharganya kesehatan itu.
Itulah yang terjadi pada diriku hari ini tatkala aku mengunjungi seorang pasien kecil yang jantungnya mengalami kebocoran dan penyempitan. Yah pasien kecil itu adalah bayi mungil yang baru berumur kurang lebih 6 bulan. yang berada di ruang perawatan khusus bagi anak-anak kelainan jantung. Begitu banyak alat - alat rumah sakit yang menempel pada si kecil ini dan kepalanyapun berada didalam sebuah kotak transparan dengan tujuan agar si kecil ini mendapatkan oksigen yang cukup. Bisa kita bayangkan bertapa sedihnya kedua orang tua si kecil ini. Mereka berusaha kesana kemari demi menyembuhkan si kecil dari penyakit yang di alaminya. Usaha yang gigih dari kedua orang tuanya ini, semoga bisa membuat si kecil ini dapat bertumbuh dewasa dan menjadi anak yang berguna dan berbakti kepada kedua orang tuanya.


Sabarlah pada segala sesuatunya...
Suatu saat, langitpun pasti akan cerah kembali...
