“Angkringan is Javanese mini cafe with cheap price”




You’ll never meet any angkringan in Indonesia, except you stay in Java, especially in Yogyakarta and Central Java. This is the place where angkringan cultures begin. Recently, I have found angkringan in West Java too.
It’s only like small house cart, it may contain no more than 8 adult.

Angkringan’s offers are : 
  •  Kindness, hospitable, friendly and polite service.
  •  No time limitation. Just come, talk and share with other customers without feel worry you’ll be forced to away.
  •  Very real social network. In Angkringan nobody care who you are and your social status.  Just enjoy it.

Yogyakarta’s nick name is student city, cause of a lot of universities and school here. And angkringan in Yogyakarta became famous cause its cheap, its student price!

In angkringan there are some menus for the costumers. Such as:


a. Nasi Kucing (Cat Rice)
It is the most popular angkringans menu. Cat Rice? Soundly weird. Yeah, it is mini package rice, named like this cause of the very little portion, cat portion! The price is not more than Rp 700 (1$ ~ Rp 10000, imagine how cheap!).  But it will be very delicious when you eat it with tempe, chicken sate, bandeng fish, etc.


b. Susu Jahe (Ginger Milk)

Almost of angkringan open in night, wish a glass of hot drink could warm the cool night. Of course it sells common drinks like tea, lime and coffee too.



c. Gorengan

Don’t know how to translate gorengan in English… Hmm, how about: fries snack? Hahaha, whatever it is, if you never taste it, then you should

d. Sate (Chicken Stuff)
Sate is small pieces of meat roasted on skewer. It can be chicken head, heart, intestine, bustard eggs, etc. Don’t you know that sometimes we should forget about fat and calories and get cheers with other people?

Basketball


Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five players try to score points by throwing or "shooting" a ball through the top of a basketball hoop while following a set of rules. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports.
A regulation basketball hoop consists of a rim 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted to a backboard. A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the hoop during regular play. A field goal scores two points for the shooting team if a player is touching or closer to the hoop than the three-point line, and three points (a "3 pointer") if the player is "outside" the three-point line. The team with more points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) may be issued when the game ends with a tie. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or passing it to a teammate. It is a violation (traveling) to walk with the ball, carry it, or to double dribble (to hold the ball and then resume dribbling).
Various violations are generally called "fouls". Disruptive physical contact (a personal foul) is penalized, and a free throw is usually awarded to an offensive player if he is fouled while shooting the ball. A technical foul may also be issued when certain infractions occur, most commonly for unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of a player or coach. A technical foul gives the opposing team a free throw.
Basketball has evolved many commonly used techniques of shooting, passing, and dribbling, as well as specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning) and techniques. Typically, the tallest members of a team will play "center", "small forward", or "power forward" positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed play "point guard" or "shooting guard".
While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. Competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport played on carefully marked and maintained basketball courts, but less regulated variations are often played outdoors in both inner city and rural areas.

Arti Cinta Yang Sesungguhnya

Segala macam hubungan antar manusia itu mirip pasir dalam genggamanmu. Jika berada pada telapak tangan yang terbuka, pasir itu akan tetap pada tempatnya. Namun jika kau kepalkan tanganmu erat-erat untuk mempertahankannya, pasir itu akan menyembur melalui sela-sela jemarimu. Mungkin ada yang tersisa dalam tanganmu, tapi kebanyakan akan jatuh.

Pacaran adalah seperti itu. Jika dipertahankan dengan longgar, dengan menghormati dan membebaskan orang lain/pasangannya, hubungan cinta itu akan tetap utuh.Tapi, jika digenggam terlalu erat, terlalu memiliki, maka hubungan cinta itu akan terlepas dan hilang.

Arti Hidup

Hidup ini bukan tentang mengumpulkan nilai. Bukan tentang berapa banyak orang yang menelponmu dan juga bukan tentang siapa pacarmu, bekas pacarmu atau orang yang belum kamu pacari. Bukan tentang siapa yang telah kau cium, olahraga apa yang kau mainkan, atau pemuda/gadis mana yang menyukaimu. Bukan tentang sepatumu atau rambutmu atau warna kulitmu atau tempat tinggalmu atau sekolahmu. Bahkan, juga bukan tentang nilai-nilai ujianmu, uang, baju, atau perguruan tinggi yang menerimamu atau yang tidak menerimamu. Hidup ini bukan tentang apakah kau memiliki banyak teman, atau apakah kau seorang diri, dan bukan tentang apakah kau diterima atau tidak diterima oleh lingkunganmu. Hidup bukanlah tentang itu.Namun, hidup ini adalah tentang siapa yang kau cintai dan kau sakiti. Tentang bagaimana perasaanmu tentang dirimu sendiri. Tentang kepercayaan, kebahagian, dan belas kasih. Hidup adalah tentang menghindari rasa cemburu, mengatasi rasa tak peduli, dan membina kepercayaan. Tentang apa yang kau katakan dan yang kau maksudkan. Tentang menghargai orang apa adanya dan bukan karena apa yang dimilikinya. Dan yang terpenting, hidup ini adalah tentang memilih untuk menggunakan hidupmu untuk menyentuh hidup orang lain dengan cara yang tak bisa digantikan dengan cara lain. Hidup adalah tentang pilihan itu.
