Bow for Corpse

Filed under Current Affairs

Certainly, corpse was a human. If it wasn’t human, then it wasn’t corpse instead, it was a carcass.

You can’t call a dead animal’s body as a corpse.

 

A 19-year-old student was found dead in his room at Palangka last week. No signs for dead of violence.

People brought him to an hospital, and coz he was dead, the hospital placed him on the corpse room.

They called his family in Barito.

 

Coz rumour said that the student was involved in a alcoholic party the day before he died, then the press rushed to the corpse room in the hospital. They pictured him, then they pressed the picture at their first page.

The newspaper got to my hand last week, and astonished me,

 

How could people make a dead man’s picture as an headline?

 

When I was a kid, I was often forbidden to see a funeral. They forbade me to see a dead man.

My mom’s personal assistant said that if you viewed a dead man, then he’d open up his eyes.

I got shivered of corpse, thanx to it.

 

When I grew up, I learnt that my religion respected much for human, begins from when he’s still in womb before birth, as long as he lives, even after he was dead.

That’s why a dead people must be treated as well as treating a live human.

 

Now what about putting a picture as a news illustration?

I think journalists have some kinda ethic code to ask someone’s permission before they picture the person to be put in newspaper. But what if the picture that they wanna put is the picture of a dead man?

Shall the journalist ask the dead man’s permission to put the picture at the first page?

 

 “Excuse me, corpse. I’d like to shoot your picture for my headline.”

 

The corpse didn’t answer. It might know that if it answered, it’d make everybody run in horrified. So it preferred shutting up.

It’s so kind of corpse, though it’s dead.

 

That’s why I don’t like people put a dead man’s picture in this position in the newspaper.

What about the feeling of the spirit to find out his picture put this large? What about the feeling of his family?

It’s so cruel!

 

I hope that bloggers can learn ethics better than the journalist.

We’re citizen journalist, are risked to do a bigger mistake, coz we never learn about journalistic ethics.

But we’ve learnt about human ethics, that putting a corpse photo for paper’s commercialization is absolutely impolite. Coz human deserves to be respected. Before, during, and even after he was alive.

You Pay Me to Stop You Eat?

Filed under Current Affairs

“Doctor, which food shouldn’t I eat?”

 

I always almost laugh each time my patients ask me this way.

I wonder with the concept that the patients thought that they mustn’t eat a thing coz they’re sick.

Do they really pay me to forbid them eating the food that they want?

 

It’s true explained in the lecture that there are some suggestions about diet according to the disease.

If the patient’s got a hypertension, have less salty food.

Diabetician shouldn’t eat sweets.

If they have exceed uric acid, avoid purin-contained food.

And if the cholesterol piles up, then please avoid fat.

 

So once upon a time I got a patient with complete diagnose.

I mean it’s complete coz he’s got hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia and also hyperuricemia at once.

What should I reply if he asked me which food that he shouldn’t eat to avoid his complication?

 

 “Well, Sir, coz you’ve got hypertension, you shouldn’t eat salties.

Then, coz you’re a diabetician, don’t take sweets.

Your uric acid is high, so please don’t eat greenies, and including soya also.

And please have no fries, coz your cholesterol is high, too.”

I guarantee that the patient’s got confused. “Then what should I eat, Doc?”

 

Thank God I didn’t reply that way.

I thought the patient will get mad and don’t visit me anymore.

 

If you think that diet can avoid your from disease, then it’s a big mistake of you.

All foods are delicious, why should you avoid?

Life must be happy, and food makes us happy.

 

Here are the tips if you wanna eat deliciously without getting disease:

1.        Eat orderly at the same hour, three times a day. Not three times a night.

2.       Please eat in adequate portion. You don’t need to eat until you feel full which prevents you from standing after meal. When your stomach is filled enough, that’s when you should stop eating.

3.      Make sure your menu has contained carbohydrate, protein, fat, and vitamin. Pick one between rice and noodle, don’t have both of them at once.

4.      Use low-cholesterol oil. It may costs more expensive. But the fee for stroke of hypercholesterolemia is much more expensive than just an oil.

5.      Have meat to get you protein. Protein makes our body sexy. That’s why no sexy girls don’t eat meat.

6.      Throw away your cigarettes. You won’t get a great body to have if cigarette creeps in your blood.

7.      Move out to burn your calories. Don’t just shut up by reading this blog!

Friendster is Gasping

Filed under Current Affairs

Friendster is suffocated.

One by one, its huge fans begin to leave Friendster and hang out more at Facebook.

We admit that Friendster still has a lotta fans, but mostly it’s just teenagers.

Old Friendster users still exist, still sometimes update their Friendster accounts, but it’s just for maintaining their relationship with their old fellas at Friendster.

Later when all of their fellas have moved to Facebook, there’s no more reason for them to keep maintaining their Friendster account.

 

Friendster is still popular until today, but mostly are just for teenagers.

Friendster is still popular until today, but mostly are just for teenagers.


Why could Facebook beat Friendster? They both are social net website anyway.

 

But Friendster keeps peaking, leaving Friendster which has existed earlier.

People used to be proud to have a Friendster account account.

But nowadays nobody feels necessary to have a Friendster account, coz they’re proud more to have a Facebook account.

 

If it goes on an on, Friendster could die.

 

A site can be left by their fans if the site is not friendly anymore to users.

A lotta people complain that Friendster ain’t flexible.

The technology development demands all sites to be accessed mobile easily, and Facebook answers the challenge by making the Facebook’s mobile version which easy to be accessed from cells. Friendster doesn’t.

We know that Friendster’s mobile version has already exist, but there are too much bugs that make it hardly accessible.

My colleague complains that each time she logs into Friendster from her cell and she just wanna check her messages, she’s always asked her password.

 

Facebook maintains growing up more. But if the developer don't catch the market carefully, the Twitter and Plurk are ready to set it off.

Facebook maintains growing up more. But if the developer don't catch the market more carefully, the Twitter and Plurk are ready to set it off.


Then, Friendster is proven that it can’t maintain its applications to keep up-to-date.

 

When almost each active net users have blog,

Friendster doesn’t accomodate the trend by maintaining its blog application.

Though Friendster is profited coz it has its own blog address.

Compare to Facebook which doesn’t have any blog application.

But as the replacement, Facebook provides the Note application which can import blog from the other sites.

 

If Friendster still wanna exist and be loved by its fans, Friendster must fix itself.

Friendster must have a will to fix its mobile version so the users can access Friendster easily.

Blogs at Friendster must be created accessed easily, and it can be made net to the other blog sites like the general normal blog sites.

Otherwise, more Friendster user will leave and move to Facebook, MySpace, Yuwie, or the other developing friendship sites.

And at last, Friendster just becomes a substitution, and finally slowly dies.
