Weirdo

i just return home. feel so tired... i even have not take shower yet. hehehe.. :p suddenly memories when I attend my English course with my high school friend, I have an usual experience. We studied about superstitious phenomena. As we know Indonesia  have so many supertitous thing.

My theacher  asked us to make a mini talk about superstitious phenomena because for the next meeting  we will follow promotion test. So she need to take our speaking skill mark. She gave us some time to create our mini talk.  We had finished the mini talk and  time for us to perform in front of the class.

The first perform was presented by Hamdi, he told us about unusual dream, he said if he dream about holding party that’s mean one of your  family will pass away soon.  And all student has their own turn to present their mini talk. They tell about going under a ledder can bring you bad luck, if break a mirror, you will have seven years of bad luck, hit a cat might bring you to a bad luck, etc. when I was listening to them I got bored, because I often hear that superstition. But, when I heard Utty superstition story, I excited, the reason why I got excited to hear her story is, she told us about Bunian people. bunian people is kind of  ghost. But their appearance likely a man. They like to hunt a baby and holding party in the middle of night. After I heard Utty’s story, on my way home I felt someone wishpering me. For the first time I thought that just my feeling because I was too tired that’s why I felt some one wishper to me, but the mysterious voice became louder and louder. Hmmm im sorry I cant continue my story, because it’s really make me scared.   Ok let’s talk about something else ok? Hmm I stil talk about superstition.

Do you know Pesugihan? Pesugihan is a form of ritual to ask for wealth from a supernatural power. Usually people got o a place like mount to meet a sorcerer. The sorcerer will give them instructions to be carried out later as a requirement for the wealth asked. After the requirements have been fulfilled, a sudden wealth is expected. However, to maintain the wealth, offering must be given to the supernatural creature they worship.

There are many supernatural creatures that people usually worship to get wealth, for example Nyi Roro  Kidul, or Nyi Blorong. Many people do that as a shortcut to be rich. They’re ready to sacrifice everything to get what they want. Sometimes they even forget all the consequences of this ritual, like losing the lives or their loved ones. You see, these supernatural creatures usually ask offering of the soul of the people related the worshippers in order to keep the wealth given by the creatures.

For me, that unlogical. But that really happen, I don’t know how it happened. But I see this ritual as an act againt God. Every religion teaches us to ask for anything from God and not to get too obsessed with wealth. In addition Pesugihan also bring us more problems than the fortunate itself. 

I Found an Article in Magazine,

Human Brain Analysis - Man vs. Woman......A MUST READ!




1. MULTI-TASKING
Women - Multiple process
Womens brains designed to concentrate multiple task at a time.

Women can Watch a TV and Talk over phone and cook.
Men - Single Process
Mens brains designed to concentrate only one work at a time. Men can not watch TV and talk over the phone at the same time. they stop the TV while Talking. They can either watch TV or talk over the phone or cook.

2. LANGUAGE
Women can easily learn many languages. But can not find solutions to problems. Men can not easily learn languages, they can easily solve problems. That's why in average a 3 years old girl has three times higher vocabulary than a 3 yeard old boy.

3. ANALYTICAL SKILLS
Mens brains has a lot of space for handling the analytical process. They can analyze and find the solution for a process and design a map of a building easily. But If a complex map is viewed by women, they can not understand it. Women can not understand the details of a map easily, For them it is just a dump of lines on a paper.

4. CAR DRIVING.
While driving a car, mans analytical spaces are used in his brain. He can drive a car fastly. If he sees an object at long distance, immediately his brain classifies the object (bus or van or car) direction and speed of the object and he drives accordingly. Where woman take a long time to recognize the object direction/ speed. Mans single process mind stops the audio in the car (if any), then concentrates only on driving.

5. LYING
When men lie to women face to face, they get caught easily. Womans super natural brain observes facial expression 70%, body language 20% and words coming from the mouth 10%. Mens brain does not have this. Women easily lie to men face to face.
So guys, do not lie face to face.

6. PROBLEMS SOLVING
If a man have a lot of problems, his brain clearly classifies the problems and puts them in individual rooms in the brain and then finds the solution one by one. You can see many guys looking at the sky for a long time. If a woman has a lot of problems, her brain can not classify the problems. she wants some one to hear that. After telling everything to a person she goes happily to bed. She does not worry about the problems being solved or not.

7. WHAT THEY WANT
Men want status, success, solutions, big process, etc... But Women want relationship, friends, family, etc...

8. UNHAPPINESS
If women are unhappy with their relations, they can not concentrate on their work. If men are unhappy with their work, they can not concentrate on the relations.

9. SPEECH
Women use indirect language in speech. But Men use direct language.


10. HANDLING EMOTION
Women talk a lot without thinking. Men act a lot without thinking.

Flicking through the Dolly Magazine doing some research on how to design a magazine for English Assessment , I found a interesting article about lie detector . I think this is quite interesting because you can know whether someone is lying to you just by looking into their eyes . Oh well , so please beware if you are trying to lie me . Ya i mean you you you !

Indicator : Usually Remembered Image

3rd type Looking Left To The Middle :
