X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Superhero, which is my destiny when I was sitting in primary school. Every day I spend my time with just wait and sit in front of the television. I never late to turn on the television with enthusias m. Now the story repeat, I watch superhero movie called x-men origins and the main character is Wolverine. The mutant that’s very strong and powerful like a wolf.
The story begins, in the usual superhero fashion, with the death of a parent. It’s Canada, 1845, and a young boy named James is about to learn a Terrible Family Secret. Confessions are made, blood is shed, and soon James (later to be known as Logan and later still as Wolverine) and his half-brother Victor (later to be known as Sabretooth) find themselves on their own. The two boys grow into mutton-chopped manhood (now played by Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber, respectively) and discover that they are, for all practical purposes, immortal. This is especially good news given that James and Victor’s primary diversion is soldiering. A catchy, Watchmen-esque credit sequence follows them from the Civil War through a pair of World Wars to Vietnam, where in art as in life, things go all to hell, and Victor, who has always been a little overenthusiastic about the taking of life, gets carried away and kills a superior officer.
James and Victor are placed before a firing squad and, when its leaden rebukes fail to carry them to the other side, are given a choice by one Colonel William Stryker (Danny Huston, playing a younger version of Brian Cox’s X2 character): Rot in jail forever, or join a secret team with “special privileges.” This being a fairly easy choice, the brothers quickly find themselves members of a group of super-powered government agents existing somewhere on the historic-alphabetic spectrum between G-Men and X-Men. But here again, the work soon proves too messy for James’s ever-more-tender disposition, and he quits to become a lumberjack and live in a remote mountaintop cabin with a kind and beautiful schoolteacher (Lynn Collins), who tells him a Native American story about how the wolverine and the moon were once lovers, but a trickster took her away. (This is called foreshadowing.) Out here in the gorgeous wilderness we also learn that James’s combination of vivid nightmares and retractable claws can make for extremely awkward nocturnal erections.
Victor eventually finds him, of course, as does Stryker. There are reversals and counter-reversals, double- and triple-crosses, truck and motorcycle and helicopter crashes, and enough Jackmanian shirtlessness that any so inclined could produce a detailed topographical map of the lats, pecs, delts, and various outcroppings of muscle that have not yet been named. (If Jackman’s bath scene in Australia was a carnal amuse-bouche, here he offers the all-you-can-eat beefcake buffet.) What Wolverine fails to do, however, is give us any real reason to care about the unfolding events. Though Jackman is capable, as always, in the title role, there’s no real weight to his travails, which play more as exposition than tragedy. And while Schreiber has feral fun as Victor, his is an inherently limited performance.
The whole thing concludes, typically enough, with a Final Showdown in which a surfeit of mutants shows up to fight, flee, and flip allegiances. The problem here of course–in addition to any creeping fatigue with the film, the X-Men, and superhero cinema in general–is that, thanks to the earlier movies, we already know how it will end: Wolverine’s primary antagonists will survive, as will Wolverine himself, though in the latter case, having had his memory wiped clean of nearly everything that transpired throughout the course of the film. It may take a couple of hours, but ultimately you’re likely to feel much the same way.

There’s a lot of excellent Besides an opening credits sequence as good, if not better, than Watchmen, X-Men Origins: Wolverine allows a little breathing room in-between preposterous action sequences and plot exposition. This helps small moments to shine—many of those moments belong to Liev Schreiber, who delivers a sinister and savage performance. The movie is more brutal, the narrative tidier, and the onslaught of mutant cameos more evenly-rationed than its predecessors. It may not save the franchise, but for fans of the X movies, it serves as a replacement sequel to the best movie in the series, Brian Singer’s X2.
There’s all about the good from these movies. Nothing perfect, now let we see the bad side from my opinion. Like most comic book movies, this one tries to please hardcore fans, and normal folk looking for a big, flashy action flick. In the end, it will probably disappoint the fans. The civilians, who don’t know a Danger Room from a Boom-Boom Room, will raptly consume the movie, and then feel hungry for another superhero jamboree an hour later. The problem with the flick, however, is that you’ve seen it all before. The wire-fu, the hero walking while a fireball explodes behind him and the physics-defying climax are all.

The Tournament

The Tournament is a 2007 British independent direct-to-DVD action film was conceived by Jonathan Frank and Nick Rowntree. film in Bulgaria, and numerous locations around Northern England and Merseyside. The film stars Robert Carlyle, Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu, Sebastien Foucan, Liam Cunningham and Ian Somerhalder.

A group of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men, who are themselves tied into law enforcement agencies and criminal underworlds alike, and who also control the international media with their billions, have devised the ultimate entertainment for themselves – simply referred to as The Tournament which takes place at intervals of every seven or ten years.

Contestants volunteer, but due to the nature of the tournament are some of the toughest or craziest individuals on the planet – they are expected to kill, and only the last surviving combatant will win the cash prize of £10,000,000. The men and women running the tournament, as well as observing for entertainment, gamble on the high stakes and bet on the outcome.

For each tournament, combatants are selected from the world’s best, deadliest and most feared military special forces, serial killers, athletes, trained contract killers and assassins. The last combatant standing receives not only the cash prize, but also the glory and reputation of having the title of World’s No 1, and which itself carries the legendary million-dollar-a-bullet contract killing price tag. Each of the assassins carry a tracking device, embedded under their skin, allowing the observers to monitor the Tournaments movements, and the assassins to track each other. The tournament lasts twenty-four hours, and if no assassin has won by killing all the other assassins, then the tracking device under their skin will explode.

The unsuspecting towns where the tournament takes place are randomly selected, and the public never know of its existence. This year, the latest tournament has come to the Middlesbrough, a city in the United Kingdom – the country with the most prevalent mass surveillance in the world – so that the events of the tournament can be easily followed and recorded through the ever-present CCTV as well as satellite surveillance. They also jam the communications of the emergency services, completely taking over the electronic infrastructure, and the stage is set.

Travel (Amsterdam) – just59 ^^

This is actually from my friend’s friend experience on traveling in Amsterdam. Hope you like it.

 

There’s a sure way to unlock the secrets of Amsterdam—explore by bicycle.

This is the city of bikes, with around one million mostly timeworn machines. You see them crammed into metal racks on every street, bolted three-deep to canal bridges, spilling out from the multi-storey “bikepark” at Centraal Station, and perhaps being sold on the sly by the bike thieves who operate in Dam Square.

Some years ago I shared an apartment overlooking the houseboats moored alongside the Binnenkant, and on my first weekend in the city I paid good money for a sorry-looking bicycle from a hire outlet. The frame was branded with the name “Quicksilver,” but the bike was neither of those things. It was painted a muddy-brown, it had no gears, and the brakes (such as they were) were operated by pedaling backwards. I only invested because the company I worked for was located on the far side of the city and walking was impractical. By fluke, I ended up with a key to the contradictions at the very heart of Amsterdam.

My morning commute was a revelation. I would breeze over the Amstel River and weave through the clouds of marijuana smoke eddying outside the tourist coffee houses on Rembrantplein, then glide up and over the cobbled bridges that span Amsterdam’s most picturesque canals, the Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht. From there, I followed the curving tramlines running alongside the Singelgracht, coasted through the vaulted tunnel beneath the Rijksmuseum and crossed the cultured green of Museumplein, passing just meters from the Van Gogh museum.

On weekends I circled Vondelpark, resting only for a koffie verkeerd and spicy appeltaart at the Blue Teahouse, or headed south to Amsterdamse Bos, a sprawling, forested zone that feels like Central Park grown-wild. Other times, I took random turns through the winding streets of the Jordaan, with its thin, cheerful townhouses and colorfully painted barges, or dawdled among the open-air bookstalls at Spui Square and the displays of tulips near Koningsplein.

By night, with my dynamo lights flickering dimly, I passed cruise boats squeezing beneath illuminated bridges, or gawped at the lurid neons of the glass cubicles and grotesque sex clubs of the Red Light District.

When I grew thirsty, I’d secure my bicycle with a chain that cost more than the machine itself and drink Heineken in snug brown cafés. The locals I met had an easy humor and a relaxed charm, and were every bit as laid-back as you would expect (even if they did seem mystified by the English stag groups that visit the city). Always, and without exception, they struck me as effortlessly mature.

Riding on Quicksilver, pedaling from the sublime through the seedy and back again, it wasn’t long before I started to develop the idea for a crime novel set in Amsterdam. And when my central character, a burglar, needed a getaway vehicle? Why, the solution was obvious.

Family – just59 ^^

There’s a lot of definition for family. Some says that they are the one that you should respect. There’s people that say that family are the one that give you the meaning of live, and many more.

For me, family is a special group of people that taught you what life is. They are the one that gives you the reason for living. They are the one that give you love and care. They are the one that protected you when you’re young until when you’re able to take care of yourself.

I myself have a family. They love me and take care of me. I love them as much as myself and GOD. Why does family so important for me? Because they give me hope. They give me a lesson for my life. They taught me a lot of valuable thing that I just can’t forget. I know that what they give and what they do is for the best.

There’s this one time that I’m angry with my family. It’s stupid now that I think about it. I’m mad because they forbid me to play games. But after I grow up and spend years of living I realized about it. What they did is for the best. If I’m addicted to games then I’ll just waste my time playing all the time. Because of the mistakes I made in the past, now I can control my time. Sure sometimes I’m still out of control, but at least now I can do it better.

I know that family might hurt you, but there’s one thing for sure that I know. Deep in their hearts, they love us. Sure they get angry for what we did wrong, and sometimes the hurt our hearts. But it taught me a very valuable lesson. Trust your family in every way. They won’t let you down. In fact, they can give you an idea that you’ll never come up with.

So from all of that, family is important for our lives. They give us love, care, and shelter. Everything that they taught in our life won’t be a waste, because they’ve become teenagers like us and they already pass that time of life. I’m sure they want us to be a great person when we’re older. That’s why always listen to their advices for your future.

Friends – just59 ^^

Hi everybody! Welcome to this blog. Today I want to tell you about friends. I know all of us have at least a friend, but some of us didn’t really get “what” is a friend. I myself, find a lot of statement for what we called friends.

A friend is a close person that you know and love. They are the person you trusted with everything that you do. Sometimes we think that friend is only a person, but sometimes they are the one that represents you the most. They can be annoying and make you sad, but sometimes what they did is for the sake of our future.

For me personally, friends are someone you can hold on and give trust for everything that’s happening in your live. I have one great friend, or what I call my buddy. He’s the person that I trust for my secrets. I’m really sure from the depths of my heart I know that he can be trusted.

There’s this one time when I accidentally go overboard with my attitude. I feel guilty after what I’ve done to him. He’s very angry for what I’ve done. But luckily when I apologize, he forgave me. It’s been a wild ride with him. Have a different argument, fighting over some stupid things, and even talked about the person that I liked.

It’s crazy really, but I enjoyed having a friends like him. He had done so many things for me. I really thankful to have a friend like him. He gives me strength when I’m weak. He supports me when I do anything, and the most valuable thing he gave me, is his trust to keep his secrets. I’m glad that he trusts me with his secrets, and I won’t let him down.

So from all of that we can say that friends mean everything for me. They give you hope, faith, and trust. When you trust from the bottom of your heart, then that person in return will give you trust. That’s what friendships all about. Trust your friends because they won’t let you down.

Friends _Frank_ XIIS-1

Friends

Friends are people who want to accompany me when I’m being sad or happy. Friends don’t require any greed and profit. Because friends who are person that always beside me. Both crying and laughing all we have done together as a friend. Sometimes friends may hurt us as long as they want us to be the best. Friends not only join and enjoy our pleasure but also tell us the reality of our fault. True friends are brave to hit us when we are going wrong even though they hurt to do it. In my opinion friends are able to equal between good and bad. The qualities of friends are important for us. Because friends bring big affect to our personality. This thing must be checked carefully. First qualities are their behavioral or personality, let the bible says good friend will give us good habit but bad community will also destroy our good habit.  Becoming good friends might have this qualify: Honest, trusted, loyal and humble. Because people who don’t have this character can’t be said as a friend.  Second quality is their educational background. Their education will effect to their mind and respond to us. If they have great education their literature also different with people who aren’t educated enough. The last quality is their family background. Family has the biggest affect in our life. From we were born until we are at adult age. So family is the biggest part ever. Good family also gives good habit. This end of my story about friends, I hope from this we can be real friends who never left when our friends falling down but be friends that always loyal to accompany whatever we are. Friends are special and precious gift from God, So keep it well in your deepest heart and never forget it.

My Definition of Friend _C.Lover_

Having a true friend is more valuable than a thousand friends that never try to understand you…

experienced that you’ve trough with your friends sometimes annoying, but that’s what makes friendship were so beautiful….

Friendship not always about solveing problems together, but true friendship was always there when you were in trouble…

Friendship is not created automatically but requires a long process such as iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens his friend …

Friendship colored with many experiences joy and sorrow, comfort – hurt, note – let down, heard – ignored, assisted – rejected, but these have never intentionally done with the purpose of hate ..

 A friend does not hide mistakes to avoid disputes, precisely because of his love he ventured to rebuke what it is.

Friend never blow a kiss to wrap, but state what is very painful with the aim to change his friend.

The process of friends become friends requires the maintenance of the loyalty , but not when we need help then we have the motivation for attention, help and statements of love from others, but instead he took the initiative to provide and realize what is required by his friend.

His longing is to become part of the life of his friend, because there is no friendship that begins with self-important attitude.

Everyone needs a real friend, but not everyone got it.

Many people who have been enjoying the beauty of friendship, but some are so deperate by his best friend betrayed.

Remember the last time you were in trouble. Who would be your next?

 Who loves you when you feel unloved??

Who would want to be with you when you can not give him anything??

it’s all about friends …

MY FRIEND

I would hate to say it,
but our friendship just can’t last.
The wonderful times we shared together,
have faded to the past.

I told you it would happen,
that our friendship was bound to end.
Although I know you care,
I cannot consider you as a friend.

Please don’t try to argue,
just try to understand.
That time can change people,
as the tide can change the sand.

Our friendship has been lovely,
but you see it has an end.
For now I fell in a different way,
I’ve fallen in love with you my friend.

Jam biologis manusia

Jam Biologis Tubuh Manusia
Pernahkah Anda bertanya, mengapa saat malam kita mengantuk? Atau mengapa bila masyarakat pedesaan yang belum ada listrik cenderung tidur lebih cepat? Jawabannya adalah karena adanya hormon melatonin.
SCN akan memerintahkan tubuh untuk mengeluarkan hormon melatonin ini saat hari sudah gelap. Selanjutnya, hormon melatonin akan memerintahkan tubuh untuk beristirahat.
Namun dengan kehadiran lampu listrik yang membuat suasana malam hari menjadi terang menghambat dikeluarkannya hormon melatonin, sehingga saat ini jam tidur manusia lebih larut malam daripada sebelumnya.
Tubuh kita mudah beradaptasi. Misalnya, untuk pekerja yang bekerja saat malam hari, SCN akan beradaptasi dalam mengeluarkan hormon melatonin sehingga mereka akan tetap terjaga walaupun hari sudah gelap.
Bila malam semakin larut, kita akan lebih merasakan kantuk, ini disebabkan hormon melatonin yang dihasilkan semakin meningkat dan juga turunnya suhu tubuh dan tekanan darah dalam tubuh.

Hormon Dalam Tubuh Saat Kita Tidur
Agar dapat memperbaiki sel-sel yang rusak, tubuh membutuhkan tidur. Tidur sehat manusia adalah 7 sampai 9 jam setiap hari. Perbaikan sel ini dipicu oleh hormon yang bernama Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
Karena itu, dengan tidur yang cukup rata-rata 8 jam per hari, sama saja dengan membiarkan tubuh Anda memulihkan tubuh kembali. Tentu ini akan membuat Anda bangun dengan sehat pada pagi hari setelah tidur yang cukup.
Makan makanan asin dapat membuat tubuh dehidrasi, sehingga dapat mengalami retensi air yang menyebabkan hipertensi ringan, akibatnya proses perbaikan sel terganggu dan tidur Anda terganggu.
Mengkonsumsi makanan m ani s dapat membuat kita sulit tidur karena otak akan memerintahkan untuk mengeluarkan hormon insulin. Akibatnya gula yang ada dalam pembuluh darah akan disimpan dalam sel otot, hati dan lemak.
Karena kadar gula dalam tubuh rendah, otak akan memerintahkan untuk mengeluarkan hormon kortisol yang memecah lemak menjadi gula. Efek samping dari hormon kortisol adalah dapat memicu stres sehingga waktu tidur Anda akan terganggu karena rasa stres yang ada.

Mengapa Anda Mampu Menahan Kencing saat Tidur?
Pernahkah Anda bertanya mengapa meskipun tidur lebih dari 8 jam, Anda tidak merasakan ingin buang air kecil pada saat tertidur? Saat kita tidur, tubuh memproduksi hormon vasopressin yang menghambat pengeluaran urine sehingga kita bisa tidur tanpa terganggu harus ke kamar kecil.

Jam Biologis Pagi Hari
Saat pagi hari, minumlah segelas air hangat yang akan mendorong enzim-enzim yang ada dalam mulut ke dalam lambung untuk proses detoksifikasi. Tunggu 20 menit sebelum Anda mengkonsumsi sarapan atau minuman lainnya, karena bila waktu kurang dari 20 menit, manfaat yang dihasilkan kurang optimal.
Olahraga pada jam 5 pagi kurang bermanfaat karena suhu tubuh masih rendah dan otot belum panas. Berolahragalah jam 7 pagi. Pada jam ini tubuh menghasilkan hormon serotonin yang meningkatkan mood. Berjemur di bawah sinar matahari pagi dapat meningkatkan produksi hormon ini.
Tubuh kita berada dalam kondisi optimal 3 jam setelah bangun tidur. Saat itu, darah sudah mengaliri tubuh dengan sempurna sehingga semua zat yang dibutuhkan tubuh dapat terpenuhi dengan baik.

Jam Biologis Tubuh Lainnya
Saat tepat untuk perawatan kulit adalah jam 16.00 karena pada saat itu tubuh dalam suhu yang paling tinggi sehingga pori-pori terbuka dan nutrisi terserap sempurna.
Jam 17.00 tubuh dalam kondisi puncak dalam menahan rasa sakit, sehingga tepat bila ingin ke dokter gigi atau disuntik.
Jam 18.00 merupakan saat yang tepat untuk berolahraga, karena kekuatan dan fleksibilitas tubuh dalm kondisi puncak. Disebabkan kandungan glikogen pada saat itu di dalam tubuh cukup banyak.
Glikogen merupakan simpanan karbohidrat dalam bentuk glukosa di dalam tubuh yang berfungsi sebagai salah satu sumber energi.

Airmata mutiara

*Airmata mutiara*

Pada suatu hari seekor anak kerang di dasar laut mengadu dan mengeluh pada
ibunya sebab sebutir pasir tajam memasuki tubuhnya yang merah dan lembek.
“Anakku,” kata sang ibu sambil bercucuran air mata, “Tuhan tidak memberikan
pada kita, bangsa kerang, sebuah tangan pun, sehingga Ibu tak bisa
menolongmu.”

Si ibu terdia, sejenak, “Sakit sekali, aku tahu anakku. Tetapi terimalah itu
sebagai takdir alam. Kuatkan hatimu. Jangan terlalu lincah lagi. Kerahkan
semangatmu melawan rasa ngilu dan nyeri yang menggigit. Balutlah pasir itu
dengan getah perutmu. Hanya itu yang bisa kau perbuat”, kata ibunya dengan
sendu dan lembut.

Anak kerang pun melakukan nasihat bundanya. Ada hasilnya, tetapi rasa sakit
bukan alang kepalang. Kadang di tengah kesakitannya, ia meragukan nasihat
ibunya. Dengan air mata ia bertahan, bertahun-tahun lamanya. Tetapi tanpa
disadarinya sebutir mutiara mulai terbentuk dalam dagingnya. Makin lama
makin halus. Rasa sakit pun makin berkurang. Dan semakin lama mutiaranya
semakin besar. Rasa sakit menjadi terasa lebih wajar.

Akhirnya sesudah sekian tahun, sebutir mutiara besar, utuh mengilap, dan
berharga mahal pun terbentuk dengan sempurna. Penderitaannya berubah menjadi
mutiara; air matanya berubah menjadi sangat berharga. Dirinya kini, sebagai
hasil derita bertahun-tahun, lebih berharga daripada sejuta kerang lain yang
cuma disantap orang sebagai kerang rebus di pinggir jalan.

******
Cerita di atas adalah sebuah paradigma yg menjelaskan bahwa penderitaan
adalah lorong transendental untuk menjadikan “kerang biasa” menjadi “kerang
luar biasa”. Karena itu dapat dipertegas bahwa kekecewaan dan penderitaan
dapat mengubah “orang biasa” menjadi “orang luar biasa”.
Banyak orang yang mundur saat berada di lorong transendental tersebut,
karena mereka tidak tahan dengan cobaan yang mereka alami. Ada dua pilihan
sebenarnya yang bisa mereka masuki: menjadi `kerang biasa’ yang disantap
orang, atau menjadi `kerang yang menghasilkan mutiara’. Sayangnya, lebih
banyak orang yang mengambil pilihan pertama, sehingga tidak mengherankan
bila jumlah orang yang sukses lebih sedikit dari orang yang `biasa-biasa saja’.
Mungkin saat ini kita sedang mengalami penolakan, kekecewaan, patah hati,
atau terluka karena orang-orang di sekitar kamu cobalah utk tetap tersenyum
dan tetap berjalan di lorong tersebut, dan sambil katakan di dalam hatimu.
“Airmataku diperhitungkan Tuhan.. dan penderitaanku ini akan mengubah diriku
menjadi mutiara.”

Kata-Kata Mutiara

1. Orang yang tahu dan tahu bahwa ia tahu adalah orang bijak. Ikuti orang ini.

Humor CINA vs ARAB

CINA vs ARAB

Konon ada sepasang sahabat cina dan arab lagi kebingungan karena usaha mereka bangkrut.

Setelah memutar keras otak mereka, mereka sepakat membuka pelayanan kesehatan.

Maka si cina jadi sinshe, dan si arab menjadi tabib.

Setelah satu minggu praktek, si tabib tetap sepi pasien, namun si sinshe mulai kebanjiran pasien.

Si tabib putar otak untuk melawan si sinshe.

Maka  si tabib  mengeluarkan jurus dengan memasang pengumuman di depan ruang prakteknya:

“Jika Tidak Sembuh Uang Kembali Tiga Kali  Lipat”

Taktik itu manjur, pasien lalu berdatangan ke si tabib. Giliran si sinshe sewot lalu mencari akal.
“Haiyaaa, lumayan kalo owe purak-purak sakit dan tidak sembuh dapat uang lha….. (baca dengan logat cina-nya).

Lalu dia mendatangi si tabib.

Si Sinshe :  Haiyaaa, tolong owe. Owe punya sakit mati rasa. Owe tidak bisa lagi rasain rasa setiap makanan yang owe telan, haiyaa…

Si Tabib : Ana fikir itu gamfang ana sembuhkan.

Lalu si tabib memanggil asistennya.

Si Tabib :  Hasaaannnn, cefat ente bawa ke sini obat nomor 14.

Secepat mungikin si asisten yang bernama Hasan membawa obat nomor 14 dan  oleh si tabib di berikan kepada si sinshe.
Dan si sinshe langsung mengunyah sebelum menelan obat nomor 14 tersebut.

Si Sinshe :  Haiyaaa, ini bukan obat lhaaa, tapi ini tai ayam.

Si Tabib : Ente betul. Itu tai ayam. Berarti ente sudah sembuh dan tidak mati rasa lagi.

Si sinshe pulang dengan kesal karena kalah akal. Lalu ia kembali memutar otak berpikir mencari akal untuk mengalahkan
si tabib dan sekaligus dapat uang si tabib, maka kali ini si sinse kembali pura-pura sakit lupa yang sangat kronis.

Si Sinshe : Haiyaaaa tabib, owe sakit lupa parah sekali. Owe lupa semua peristiwa dan memori owe. Haiyaaa, tolong owe.

Si Tabib  : Gamfang. Ana fasti tolong ente dan ente fasti sembuh. Obat ana mujarab sekali.

Lalu seperti biasa si sinse memanggil si Hasan sang asisten.

Si Tabib : Hasaaaaan, cefat ente bawa kemari obat nomor 14.

Si Sinshe : Haiyaaaa, owe tidak mau lagi makan tai ayaaaam.

Haiyaaaaa… Owe tidak mau…..

Si Tabib : Alhamdulillah, berarti ente sudah sembuh. Daya ingat ente ternyata sudah kembali.__

12 Langkah Meningkatkan Ingatan

12 LANGKAH MENINGKATKAN INGATAN

Anda gampang pelupa? Bisa jadi, kemampuan otak Anda

untuk mengingat sudah mulai menurun. Banyak hal yang

bisa jadi penyebab, selain faktor usia. Tapi, bisa

kok ingatan ditingkatkan. Bagaimana caranya?

1. Relaksasi secara teratur

Salah satu cara yang paling efektif untuk meningkatkan

ingatan adalah berusaha mengendorkan ketegangan seluruh

otot tubuh sebelum mempelajari sesuatu yang baru.

Menurut ahli, relaksasi otot dapat mengurangi

kecemasan yang sering dirasakan seseorang ketika

berusaha mempelajari hal baru.

2. Dengarkan musik klasik

Menurut Dr. Frances Ranscher dan Dr. Gordon Show,

peneliti dari Universitas California, AS, orang yang

sering mendengarkan musik klasik akan mengalami

peningkatan kemampuan penalaran. Menurut penulis

The Mozart Effect, Don Campbell, mendengarkan

musik klasik juga akan membantu ingatan dan pembelajaran .

3. Menata pikiran

Membentuk urutan informasi (mengelompokkan informasi)

akan membuat sesuatu lebih mudah diingat. Ini juga akan

mempermudah otak untuk mengingat kembali apa yang

telah dipelajari dan diketahui.

4. Jaga kesehatan

Tentu, gangguan kesehatan dapat mengganggu ingatan.

Sebuah penelitian menunjukan bahwa dalam periode

25 tahun, pria penderita hipertensi akan kehilangan

kemampuan kognitif hingga dua kali lipat dibandingkan

pria bertekanan darah normal. Penelitian juga

menunjukkan bahwa pada usia 70-an, seseorang

tidak akan mudah mengalami penurunan kemampuan

kognitif jika mereka tetap aktif secara fisik.

5. Tantanglah diri sendiri

Otak memproduksi senyawa kimia neurotransmitter

yang membawa pesan antar-sel yang terlibat dalam

ingatan. Ketersediaan neurotransmitter ini akan

meningkat apabila otak sering digunakan untuk

menyelesaikan tantangan yang menuntut pemecahan masalah.

6. Cukup tidur

Kurang tidur dapat mengurangi kemampuan seseorang

untuk mengingat informasi yang kompleks. Penelitian

di Universitas de Lille, Prancis, mengindikasikan

bahwa otak memerlukan tidur untuk mempertahankan

kemampuan mengingat informasi yang kompleks.

7. Makan secukupnya, kurangi lemak,

perbanyak minum

Pilih makanan yang rendah lemak dan rendah kalori,

serta memperbanyak minum air putih. Air putih

dapat membantu pencernaan dan pernapasan,

meningkatkan kapasitas pembawaan oksigen

dalam darah, serta mempertahankan kesehatan sel.

8. Libatkan emosi

Pasalnya, peningkatan ingatan tentang suatu

kejadian terkait erat dengan peningkatan emosi.

Dan pengalaman yang melibatkan emosi akan

lebih mudah diingat daripada pengalaman biasa.

9. Kembangkan ketajaman indera

Cobalah praktikkan keterampilan pengamatan

dan belajar memperhatikan sesuatu dengan

menggunakan seluruh indera kita. Jika ingin

mengingat sesuatu, berhentilah sejenak,

perhatikan dan catat apa yang ingin kita lihat.

10. Kembangkan sikap

mental positif

Gantilah setiap sikap mental negatif atau

kritik terhadap diri sendiri menjadi sikap

yang positif, karena hal itu akan menimbulkan

rasa percaya diri yang berpengaruh positif

terhadap daya ingat.

11. Olahraga teratur

Selain meningkatkan kekuatan fisik, olahraga

juga dapat membantu fungsi ingatan kita dengan

menjamin suplai oksigen dan darah ke otak.

Olahraga juga menstimulus endorfin, yaitu

neurotransmitter yang terkait dengan

perasaan senang, yang dapat meningkatkan

keceriaan dan menjadi pemicu untuk pembelajaran dan ingatan.

12. Istirahat cukup

Yang tak kalah penting adalah istirahat cukup.

Supaya fungsi otak bisa maksimal, otak

membutuhkan istirahat untuk mengendapkan

dan mengkonsolidasikan ingatan. Istirahat

yang dibutuhkan otak bervariasi, tergantung

pada kerumitan dan kebaruan informasi, serta

pengalaman orang yang bersangkutan. Cara

yang baik adalah memberi waktu istirahat

otak 3 hingga 10 menit setelah otak beraktivitas

selama 10 hingga 50 menit.
