Have you ever felt like your life is kinda mess.
You used to be someone strong and rarely complain.
And now you lose those spirit,
Easily break down and burst in tears.
Somehow you need to bring that pulse back into your life.
You do something not because you want to,
But you just have to.
You say 'yes' to everything because
You feel sorry for them.
Eventually, you find out that feeling pity of something
Doesn't mean you always have to say 'yes' to what they're asking for
Yep! You're sacrificing yourself by being a 'Yes Man'
And at the end, you feel like being such a stupid.
At last, you're wet already.
There's no way back.
And you're not such a coward.
At lease, you still have that principle of
'to finish what you've started'
Soo hard to do what you're not willing to do.
It feels like you don't bring your heart with you.
You left it somewhere and can't find it.
Forced to do something is better than doing nothing.
Somehow, you have to fight and get out of you comfort zone.
You know that you don't want to do it
But you have to, and you will!
You have to overcome it!
You own a big responsibility and
You won't letting down those who have a hope in you.
Don't be such an egoist!
The tears, sweat, and sacrifices that you do
Will be paid in the future.
Now, do what you have to do!
One word, one action.
Hug and kiss,
Delicia

Sumatran Tiger
Panthera tigris sumatrae
Panthera tigris sumatrae is the scientific
name of Sumatran Tiger. As indicated by the name, Sumatran Tiger can be found
exclusively in the island of Sumatera, Indonesia. In 2008, IUCN (International
Union for Conservation of Nature) classified Sumatran Tiger as critically endangered
due to their low population. Now, their fragmented population in the wild is
keep on decreasing in numbers. As late as 1978, experts estimated the total
population of Sumatran Tiger at 1000. Today fewer than 400 tigers exist.
Before we go any further,
it is better to know them even closer.
The Sumatran tiger is the
smallest subspecies from the five remaining subspecies. If you wander about
their size, here are the proportion. The males are about 100-140 kg in weight,
and around 220-225 cm in length. A bit smaller than the males, the females
weight 75-100 kg and measure 215-230 cm in length.
What special about this
tiger are it has darker color in fur and thicker black stripe comparing to some
other kind of tigers. If you take a better look, you'll find that the stripes
tend to disintegrate into spots near their end, and lines of small dark specks
between the stripes can be found on the back, flanks, and hind legs. The
density of stripes is also higher than the other subspecies.
Sumatran tiger is isolated
geographically in the island of Sumatera, specifically its habitat are in
the area of tropical broadleaf evergreen, forests, peat swamps, and freshwater
swamp forests. Now, they have a wide array of habitats raging from Bukit
Barisan Selatan National Park in the shoutern of Lampung to the Gunung Leuser
National Park of Aceh Province.
Now then, are you afraid
of tiger? Well, you don't have to because some of them are already extinct
include Javan Tiger and Bali Tiger and most of them are critically endangered.
So pathetic knowing that many similar things causing the lose of some animals
include Sumatran tiger. Major thread like habitat lost due to expansion of oil
palm plantation and planting of acaccia plantation, prey-base depletion, and illegal trade primarily for the domestic market.
So tragic knowing that
these beautiful creatures are getting closer to their end. And where are you,
people? Pretending to be blind and depth, acting like there is nothing wrong..?

"With soo much deforestation and poaching in Sumatera, wild tigers face a very difficult future, but we have the tools available to reverse their decline if the clearance of their forests can be halted"

Top Five Regrets of The Dying
Life ? Regret?
Shortly, I found this article had been posted in facebook just few hours before I went on air. The only thing that passed my mind was "My listeners gotta know this. What a life value!" And voila! There I was, announced about this article. I hope, everyone who read, are inspired by this article.
For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.
People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learnt never to underestimate someone's capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.
When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.
It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard.
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.
By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.
We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.
It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.
When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.
Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.
Thank you for being such a nice reader :)

Bali Starling
"Illegal poaching for the cagebird trade"
Jalak Bali (Leucopsar rothschildi) is internationally known as Bali Myna or Bali Starling. This medium-large bird can only be found in Bali. Bali Starling was first discovered in 1910, and in 1991 it designated as the fauna symbol of Bali.
How are they look like?
I guess not all of you know how are Bali Starling looks like. Just for your information, in most of the source that I've read, they describe Bali Starling as the most beautiful of all mynas (birds of starling family). The average size is about 25cm. Its plumage is as white as the snow with an elegant long white crest. It also has this beautiful black touch at the tips of tail and the tips of flight feather. The beak, the legs, and the area around the eyes are bluish-grey with yellow bill. Generally, it's weighted around 85grams.
Bali Starling, as its name, is endemic to the island of Bali, Indonesia. To be exact, it lives in the tropical grassland and tropical dry forest.This beautiful bird is considered as an omnivore with the insectivore and fruits/seeds as its main food which can easily be found in its habitat.
Unfortunately, these birds are considered as a critically endengered animal. Talking about the population has a strong relation with the breeding. During breeding season, it is the males who attract the females by calling loudly and bobbing up and down. After the mating season, the females will lay around 3-4 torquoise eggs on the nest of twigs. Usually, the nest is located in the tree cavity. The eggs will hatch after around 14 days. The chicks fledge in about 3 weeks. Over all, Bali Starling may live for up to 15 years.
As we know, Bali Starling is critically endangered. It means that the total population of this bird is drastically decreasing. There are 2 remaining locations where these birds still able to live in the wild: The West Bali National Park and Bali's small island of Nusa Penida. There are some factors involve including habitat lost, natural disaster, and above all, trapping for pet trade; heartless isn't it?
Hopefully, this article helps you to know better about this beautiful talking-bird. Further more, I do hope that we can take the real action and let them survive..

My Valentine Chocolate
From your Valentine..
It's 14th February! Well, it isn't about the 'Thursday', but it's all about the Valentine's Day! Who doesn't know?!
I saw many people wore pink/red color on their outfits which is kinda cute. Anyway, me too. I wore my-rarely-used-eyecatching red blazer LOL.What a Valentine spirit! Somehow, I didn't really feel the euphoria as I felt on the last year's Valentine. But still the love was on the air, dude.
So, how many chocolate did you get?
Are you asking mine? Here's my story.. Before the Valentine, my friends and I planned to exchange chocolate. So, it's a guarantee that we all are gonna have (at lease) a chocolate on the Valentine. Pretty clever, right? haha
On that day, we hardly found a time to hang out together and do as we had planned. At last, we decided to have a dinner together. -But first, let me tell you about 'us'. We called ourselves 'DELICIOUS' and consist of 7 people which are Lugas, Tigor, Chris, Catherine, Philip, Andre, and I. Well, I plan to write a post about us, but I just haven't found the right time. Just wait guys..- Unfortunately, Andre couldn't join us and also Tigor would catch up. So, it's only the 5 of us now.
It was raining and the traffic was kinda crowded. We were confuse where to go until we finally decided to have dinner at Nanny's Pavillon Library in Setiabudhi. -I prefer to call it as a Valentine dinner ;)- The place is cute with classic wooden furniture and a girly touch of the ornament all over the place. It's pretty good but just not my favourite restaurant.
After the arrival and ordered some dishes, we went straight to the main event! Philip set up the game's rule. Here's the deal.. He would randomly give number to every chocolate which was only he (and his note) knew. After that, we were gonna choose one number. If the number we chose fit to our own chocolate, then we had to choose another number. As the secret keeper, Philip had the last chance and only waited for the last number.
So, who got whose chocolate?? See it by yourself ;)
After eating, switching chocolate, and having chit-chat we finally went home. It was such a kinship- full of love Valentine moment. Thank you so much for my bestiesss.
I hope you also had a sweet loving Valentine, guys. Spread the love!
Nanny's dishes
This is Lugas' home made chocolate cracker. The flakes covered with white chocolate and the topping was the melted dark chocolate. Great delicious job, Gas! ;)
I covered my chocolate with this so called letter. I didn't have any idea who was gonna get my chocholate, but I wrote this for all of them :)

Philip got Lugas' home made chocolate
I got Andre's. Unfortunatelly, he couldn't come..
Chris got mine
Catherine got Chris's extra big chocolate
Lugas got Philip's van Houten
And Andre got Catherine's well wrapped chocolates.
After eating, switching chocolate, and having chit-chat we finally went home. It was such a kinship- full of love Valentine moment. Thank you so much for my bestiesss.
