1. Of course, the way we work nowadays.9 to 5 sitting in front of the computer,our lumbar disks would get pressure, agitated by the awkward posture we sometimes, or mostly pose. Or perhaps you should contact Health and Safety department of your office, having them change your chair to a more back-friendly version.
   
2. You might listen that Cameron Diaz truly digs high heels as they make her thigh leaner. But girls, beauty is pain sometimes! High heels also make this pressure on back disks more severe.
   
3. What else? post-labor mummies are also prone to this. It's said that according to Chinese tradition, new mums are supposed to stay on bed for few weeks to gain strength to their back, after laboring.
   
4. And daddies? lifting sofas might give you a kick in the back, daddy. Be careful..
   
5. Humm Don't We just LOVE MSG!! That devilish Monosodium Glutamat, feels so yummy but do you know that it make your nervous system rigid and less flexible, and hence makes you more prone to nervous system disorder, twitched between the disks of your back, for instance. T_T
   

And please, tell your most loved ones also, so that they care more...

I know, we may be living outta our smoke here in Indonesia. Despite the intoxicating fume, I do put high contemplation on this industry : The market is so high--esp kretek, the tax's soaring, the benefits of tobacco plants for the labour and the society in the whole is of course, undeniable. The tobacco industry is still the second largest employer after government!. Awch. And isn't it verrryy easy to gain sponsorship from tobacco company?! how lucrative they are! And mind my quoting.

If this pattern of expenditure has continued to this day it is not feasible to argue that Indonesian people are gaining economically simply by being employed by the industry. Their income could be more fruitfully directed towards building other more worthwhile sectors of the economy. Instead, Indonesians are paying for the tobacco industry with their lives, simply sustaining the billionaires who exploit them (Catherine Reynolds)

My friend Jo dropped a link just now.

I Checked it out,

Totally Impressive.

I'm sharing it to you now...Check it OUt Guyz!

I might wanna add something up later...
Reminds me of uhm...Man In Black credit scene...ihihi...

I watched it twice.
Once myself, and another one with the whole family.
It's a good-to-know movie. indeed.

It's the inconvenient truth, a documentary of global warming by AL Gore. By the time I post this posting, I well recognize that most of y'all have already seen it too. but what the heck. I'm posting in anyway.

I'm no scientist nor geophyscist, I was naively utterly shuddered by the film. Of course, apart from the fact that al gore is campaigning for the sake of his stepping up to the white house, the whole message is so emminent. bravo for the way he's making it all clear. Hope it's not mere a politicized science. Though I know lotza people perceived it that way. ~_~.

Global warming is a complex phenomenon, and its full-scale impacts are hard to predict far in advance. But each year scientists learn more about how global warming is affecting the planet, and many agree that certain consequences are likely to occur if current trends continue.

well of course if you wanna know bout "Global warming" and its consequences, you can always see the movie youself. See how you perceive it, believing it and trying to (at least) contribute a lil bitty for the act of reducing your emission, or merely shrug and,"d-Uh. I won't be living when the whole world ends anyway. Let the next generation to figure this thing out. C'est pas a moi !".

To a staggering facts, there plenty of people who comes up with the latter opinion. They just don't believe it. or don't want to believe it. hands up. see this over http://answers.yahoo.com, here's what people say towards the (I'd say) GRANDE issue of mankind.

"Even the people who say it might, say we need 15 to 20 years. Where have we heard that? In 1994 I heard we need 20 years to prove global warming, but we can't afford to wait because if we're wrong, it will be too late to stop it. Well, it's 20 years, and they still say, "We need more time. We can't afford to wait."

and another, worse one.

"The real debate on global warming is over. You can stop funding it today and no one would give two hoots. Very few people still believe man has no effect on it.

We don't have to keep spending money to convince the rest of you guys.

You know some people believe Satan planted dinosaur bones to make humans doubt the existence of God.

It takes all kinds."

See? people are all speculative, not in sense to embrace the risk (as in speculative broker or some sort), but in avoiding the fact! I know it's a bit unease to see the whole trend, until 2005, and how AlGore and the team forecast how will it go for the next 50 years. For you who have watched it, remember the figure? it's crazily off the pattern, way up above for the temperature and CO2 on the air from the history of last billion years. If I were an econometric or statistics tutor, I would certainly doubt it. But hey it'scientifically proven. well at least, I cannot object the whole fact behind the crazy-outlier-dot that it comes up with. I'd zip up. gripping chair.

I myself have the evident myself. I haven't lived that long on this planet. only 21 years. But I can say Bandung, the lovely city that I've been well acquainted w/ for the whole of spanning 21 years, is one of the victim. Can I say victim? Coz I believe global warming is NOT mere climate changes, but is human interfered phenomenon.

I remembered each morning I went to school at 7.30 and love to see the air puff for each breath that I take.

Now? I cleared off the track for jogging at 7.30. It's way hot.

I HARDLY remembered the time when I got soaked by sweats for doing nothing.

Now? no no, you won't get sweat for not doing anything, but let's sit outside, and see how you're complexion becomes waaayy darker in the afternoon. the SUN is evil!

I ONLY remembered rainy days during my childhood (well at least rainy-days are better archived than sunny-days in my brain): rain during tennis course, the cushion of my shoe's soaked like sponge, swimming on the narrow pit behind school, filling with rain water, flooded even. soaked wet when I get to classrooms. swimming in the rain. jogging in the rain!. sleeping in my rain coat, as I loved it so much, a very handy thing in all days. I was even told to play in the rain.Rain is my companion.

Now? Oh yea, there are times when the weather goes so Bandung-like. like these last one month. But I can say that I remembered more of stinging sunny day than rainy days these days. These days, Bandung-like-weather is so treasurous. Rite?

It happens in only 10 years. it's so emminent, the change (If I can say) is gradual but RAPID for sure. AND! Not to mention Jakarta Flood which is increasingly devastated year by year. one of the sign, dear. one of the sign. It's not mere JayaBaya revelation.

I can say the ice break and of course the endless swimming polar bear is way more tear-dropping. But at least I can tell that it's true.

Well, I suppose it suggests me to dump my VolksWagen car due to its inefficient emmision. ^_^ just Wonder when hybrid car's as cheap.

I'm not much an environmentalist. BUt i love to sit in the outdoors, hearing birds chirping, and smell the grass after rain. I love sleeping outside watching stars. I love running in bushes. I love hearing the sound of wind caressing the leaves resembles the gush of sudden water at nights. I love soaking my sore feet in the streaming clear water in a narrow creek. I love to run wild in an open grass...hhhh...

Can't I wish my granddaughter to have the same compassion, too? will they even have the chance to?
