Manfaat Kopi Bagi Kesehatan
Kopi, hampir semua orang
di dunia ini mengetahuinya. Banyak orang mengatakan secangkir kopi memberikan
sejuta inspirasi. Selain inspirasi, ternyata secangkir kopi memberikan manfaat
lainnya. Apa saja manfaat itu? Dari informasi yang saya baca dari buku
maupun internet ternyata kopi baik bagi kesehatan bila dikonsumsi tidak
berlebihan.
Berikut ini beberapa manfaat kopi bagi kesehatan tubuh yang saya ketahui :
- Penelitian terbaru membuktikan minum kopi dalam batas wajar dapat mengurangi resiko terkena kanker usus.
- Kopi juga dapat mengurangi rasa sakit kepala dan depresi.
- Kopi juga mengurangi resiko terkena gangguan batu empedu, sirosis liver mengingat kopi banyak mengandung antioksidan yang baik buat kesehatan.
- Beberapa penelitian juga membuktikan bahwa minum secangkir kopi sehari dapat setengahnya menurunkan resiko terkena parkinson.
- Bahkan orang dengan gangguan asma yang minum kopi ternyata memiliki peluang sekitar 25% untuk mengalami penurunan gejala asma.
- Kanker hati tampaknya lebih jarang ditemui pada peminum kopi dibandingkan pada orang yang tidak minum kopi. Demikian, laporan yang dimuat dalam jurnal Hepatology edisi Agustus 2008.
- Penelitian Pusat Kanker Nasional Jepang bekerjasama dengan Kementrian Kesehatan Jepang menemukan bahwa perempuan yang memiliki kebiasaan minum kopi berisiko kecil terkena penyakit kanker rahim.
Nah, itu beberapa manfaat
kopi bagi kesehatan kita yang saya ketahui. Selain yang saya sebutkan di atas
mungkin masih banyak lagi manfaat lain dari kopi buat kesehatan kita.

The Reason - Hoobastank
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is You
And the reason is You [x3]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do

Tradisi Sedekah Bumi atau Gas Deso di Kabupaten Blora
Kabupaten Blora adalah sebuah kabupaten di Propinsi Jawa Tengah. Kabupaten Blora berbatasan dengan Kabupaten Rembang dan Kabupaten Pati di utara, Kabupaten Tuban dan Kabupaten Bojonegoro (Jawa Timur) di sebelah timur, Kabupaten Ngawi (Jawa Timur) di selatan, serta Kabupaten Grobogan di barat. Separuh dari wilayah Kabupaten Blora merupakan kawasan hutan. Daratan rendah di bagian tengah umumnya merupakan area persawahan. Sehingga pertanian merupakan sektor utama perekonomian di Kabupaten Blora.
Masyarakat Jawa memang terkenal dengan beragam jenis tradisi atau budaya yang ada di dalamnya. Begitu pula dengan Kabupaten Blora. Di Kabupaten Blora ada tradisi sedekah bumi yang biasa di sebut “Gas Deso” oleh masyarakat Blora merupakan suatu tradisi tahunan yang dilaksanakan setelah panen. Jadi antara desa yang satu dengan lainnya tidak sama pelaksanaan sedekah buminya. Tergantung pada kapan desa tersebut mengalami panen. Sedekah bumi atau gas deso adalah wujud syukur kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa atas nikmat dan berkah yang telah diberikan-Nya.

Bad Day - Daniel Powter
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride

Bukit Cinta
Sore itu pukul 03.35 WIB aku tidak sengaja diajak teman aku. Sebetulnya aku menolak. Karena dipaksa dan rasa penasaran serta keingintahuanku akhirnya aku ikut. Karena waktu itu nama Bukit Cinta di Desa Tempellemahbang, Kecamatan Jepon, Blora mulai jadi bahan pembicaraan atau kalau istilah sekarang jadi trending topic. Itu tidak terlepas dari gethok tular dari sejumlah orang yang pergi ke tempat itu.
Bukit Cinta dapat ditempuh sejauh tak kurang dari 2 kilometer dari jalan raya. Ada pertigaan jalan ke Desa Tempel saat melintas di jalan raya Jepon-Cepu. Sepanjang 300-an meter masuk ke jalan Desa Tempel tersebut, sebelum Balai Desa Tempel terdapat pertigaan jalan ke kiri menuju Lemahbang. Dari pertigaan ini, menempuh jalan sejauh 1,5 kilometer akan mendapati pertigaan ke kanan. Sayangnya jalan menuju ke Bukit Cinta hanya sebagian yang layak dilalui.
