Gayo Coffee & Java Coffee

One day, I got invitation from a friend of mine, Ita Sembiring, to taste some coffees. Actually, this was a coffee launch event from Amway Indonesia. But since I came late, then I could only taste the coffees. 

The coffees we tasted at the events were the products from PT UKMI who works together with Amway Indonesia. In this event, the coffee served is UKMWay Premium Single Origin Coffee Gayo and UKMWay Premium Java Blend Coffee.

From the little knowledge that I have about coffee, I predicted that the Gayo coffee will taste stronger than the Java coffee.

Starting from its very strong aroma, Gayo coffee felt full in my mouth. It smelled like the green grass in the morning. Very nice! The thickness of the coffee flavor was perfect for my sleepy head in that afternoon. The Gayo coffee is made from the highest quality of 100% Arabica coffee beans from the highlands in Gayo, Aceh. It lies approximately 1200 meters above sea level.

The Java Blend Coffee itself was very soft. It felt like the silk that caressed my tongue. So light! The coffee is perfect to be drunk the whole day for a heavy coffee drinker like me. The Java Blend Coffee is made from a combination of selected coffee beans from various coffee plantations in Java. It is blended specially for the Indonesian coffee drinkers.

PT UKMI also produces other types of coffee: Toraja coffee, Bali coffee, Lintong coffee, Mandheling coffee, and others.

Come On! Come On! Come On! Indonesia Can!

Indonesia is very proud to be the host of the 26th Sea Games which will take place from June 11 to 22 November 2011 in Jakarta and Palembang. Of course, we are proud of this international sport event.

One small thing that became my question is whether the Sea Games event can bring up the sense of nationalism just like when the Indonesian team competed in the World Cup. Yes, you can, Indonesia! And I also hope that the Sea Games event can unite the Indonesian nation again through sports.

Small fact that I've found is that Indonesia has previously hosted the Sea Games for three times and has won numerous medals. The last time Indonesia won a gold medal was in 1997, and after that, we did not win anything else.

In 2011, it's time we reclaim glory in those golden periods for the sake of our beloved country! It is time for our own people to support our athletes. The athletes have a dream to win every game they do. The support for their dreams is also a support for our beloved country.

There are a lot of controversies and issues about the Sea Games this time, starting from its preparation, political debates and other matters around the Sea Games event. We should disregard this. Do not let this interfere the Sea Games event and reduce our support to our sport in our own country. We should be confident that we can achieve our dream to become the champion at the 26th Sea Games event and beyond.

One support for the 26th Sea Games event is a website called: http://ayoindonesiabisa.com. On this website, the Indonesian people can show its support for Indonesian athletes to win the game.

The musicians, Sherina and Ello, sang the theme for the current Sea Games event that can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9-JNEinFRo.

The official website to the 26th Sea Games event is at: http://www.seag2011.com/en/.

Let’s support the 26th Sea Games event! Let’s support our Red and White’s Team to win many medals! Let’s awaken our sense of nationalism through the Sea Games event!

If Indonesia could win in the past, why can’t we win today? Come on, Indonesia Can!

Ready to Travel Anytime in Your Life

In your life, you always need to prepare "Go Bag" that you can just grab anytime there's any departures in your life. 


Two "Go Bags" you need to prepare in your life: 
Prepare one in real (a bag for traveling) and one in your mind (a ready mentality to go anywhere possible).


Namaste!

Why I Like Yoga

I like Yoga because Yoga does magic to my body. If I get spiritual experiences from Yoga, I take it as a beautiful bonus from the Universe.

People see yoga as rituals to spiritual things. For me, Yoga is physical exercises that makes me feel healthy enough to enjoy the beauty of life.

Thank you, Universe & Mother Nature, for giving me Yoga. Yes, Yoga is a special gift for me.

Namaste!
