Kisah Sup Batu #twurch #reflection

*Bahan renungan Alkitab: Mazmur 133

Alkisah ada tiga pengembara, yang dalam perjalanannya singgah di sebuah kota. Warga kota itu tak pernah bergembira, sebab mereka hidup dengan sangat mementingkan diri sendiri. Mereka mengerjakan segala sesuatu sendiri dan untuk dirinya sendiri. Selain itu, mereka suka mencurigai semua orang. Termasuk kepada tiga pengembara kelaparan yang duduk di tengah alun-alun kota mereka.

Tiga pengembara itu membuat api lalu merebus sebuah batu. "Apa yang kaubuat?" tanya seorang anak yang lewat. "Kami membuat sup batu yang sangat enak, " kata si pengembara, "tetapi akan jauh lebih enak jika ditambah sesiung kecil bawang, " lanjutnya. Anak itu pun berlari dan mengambilkan bawang. Orang-orang kota itu mulai penasaran. Mereka mengintip dan menengok satu per satu. "Sup ini akan jauh lebih enak jika ditambah wortel dan tomat. Seiris kecil daging juga membuat rasanya jauh lebih baik." Didorong oleh rasa ingin tahu yang kuat, mereka membawakan satu per satu bahan yang disebut para pengembara. Alhasil, jadilah sup yang enak (tentu setelah batunya dibuang) dan penduduk kota ikut menikmatinya. Untuk pertama kalinya penduduk kota itu meniadakan rasa curiga dan mengalami indahnya hidup berbagi dalam kebersamaan.

Pemazmur menyebutkan betapa baiknya apabila kita hidup bersama dengan rukun. Tidak cuma berarti tinggal bersama-sama, tetapi saling menerima dan saling berbagi dalam kasih. Hidup rukun tanpa prasangka, yang menghalangi interaksi dengan sesama. Hidup harmonis ini bukan saja mendatangkan kebahagiaan bagi kita, melainkan juga bagi Allah. Seperti kata pemazmur, "... sebab ke sanalah Tuhan memerintahkan berkat ..." --SL

Apa aja yang bisa dimakan di Seafood 45 Fatmawati?

Menunya banyak! Kata tante gw yang kemaren ultah dan nraktir orang serumah kesana, tempat makan ini tutupnya baru subuh. Jadi buat yang telat makan kalo nggak lagi kangen seafood bisa langsung ngembat disini. Kemaren gw kesana pas jam setengah 9an biar udah sepi dulu dari yang pada buka puasa. Gw sendiri selama ini cuma lewat2 doang, tapi baru kesampean makan pertama kalinya ya kemaren ini.
  • Buat pembukaan, paling pas pesen kerang dara. Kerangnya bener2 panas2, dikasih cocolan sambel botol campur sambel kacang.
  • Es jeruknya enak. Segelas full ar jeruk, esnya juga secukupnya gak terlalu banyak kayak tempat makan pinggir jalan lain.
  • Makanan lainnya, kangkung cah. Lumayan lah satu piring bisa buat 3 orang kalo kata gw.
  • Cumi gorengnya juga boleh dicoba, paling pas buat dicocol sama sambel kecap.
  • Masih ada lagi kerang hijau saus padang, berasa banget sausnya. Kalo demen kerang2an, boleh lah dicoba.
  • Nah, yang terakhir dan yang paling ribet makannya: kepiting. Yang ini gw lupa namanya kepiting apaan. Sausnya sih mirip saus gule gitu, tapi lebih kental.
Semoga review ini bisa membantu dan bisa jadi alternatif temen2 yang lagi nyari tempat makan buat buka puasa.

*PS: Kalo udah rada maleman, ada pengamen full team hampir 10 orang. Berasa live music. Nyanyinya juga mantep, ada bagi suara, ada overtune, lengkap lah :))

Core Training for Better Running | RunAddicts

Most runners have strong hearts and strong legs, but they forget about a key component between the two: the core. You’ve probably heard a lot about strengthening your core for better fitness. If you aren’t sure exactly what your core is, it is the group of muscles that control and support your spine and pelvis. In other words, it’s the muscles of the stomach, back, and hips.

Think of your core as the center of your energy. A strong core will move the energy out to the other parts of your body so they function at their maximum. A weak core doesn’t transfer the energy as well, so some parts of your body will have to compensate by working harder to produce the same motion. After a while, those body parts will break down from excessive wear and tear, and injury will occur.

Parkour is 'play for adults' | Washington Examiner

"A lot of people are attracted to or put off from Parkour by what they see on the Internet, and I think the Internet does a bad job of showing what Parkour is," she says. "It doesn't show the intermediate steps, the training, the failures it took to get that."

Henry, a 30-year-old postdoctoral researcher at George Washington University, lives in Northeast D.C. and trains at Primal Fitness in Northwest, the first Parkour gym in America.

She focuses on keeping her body fit and learning new moves, rather than constant motion or making videos.

Buang Pusing Di Singapore - Day 4

On our last day in SG, we left Footprints Hostel around 9am. It was raining hard since we entered the highway up until the airport. We've decided to separate from one and other so we could browse the whole Changi airport on our own.

I've decided to take my lunch at Subway and finally met up with others at the gate at 10:55am. The plane was sleek and (I guess) new. We've arrived in Jakarta 10 minutes earlier than the schedule. That's all for my trip to SG!

Buang Pusing Di Singapore - Day 3

Third day in Singapore, my sore throat is getting worse and worse. We went to Bugis Street today, I've bought two shorts for S$25. Then we continued our trip to Sands Sky Park. Some friends of mine spotted Justin Timberlake-alike at the pool, we're not really sure about that too.

Our third destination was Merlion Statue. We had lunch at ThaiExpress before we went there. Jurong Point has been our furthest destination since we got here. We've separated ourselves from the group after that.

Some still stayed at Jurong, some went to Orchard, and I went back to the hostel to get a free wifi connection to get suggestion where to buy iPhone tripod. Suggestions were coming on my Twitter replies, all suggested me to check out Mustafa Center.

Been strolling around the lowest story up until the highest one but can't find what I've been looking for. I end up having dinner at an Indian restaurant, ordered nasi padang (which tastes curry so much) and 2 glass of teh tarik. And that's how I end the third day.
