A Glance About "Self Defense for Woman"

Akhir2 ini, Jakarta sedang heboh dengan banyaknya kasus pemerkosaan dan tindakan jahat lainnya terhadap wanita di angkot. Berita2 ini so pasti membuat semua kalangan cemas, apalagi para wanita yang sering menggunakan angkot dan orang2 terdekat mereka. Kecemasan ini terlebih lagi dirasakan oleh orang2 yang mengenal korban kasus2 tersebut. Dalam hal ini, gw pribadi juga sangat merasakan shocknya karena temen gw sendiri uda kena dan kejadiannya masih di daerah kampus gw. Kasusnya sangat random, siapa saja bisa kena! Hal ini seolah2 menyalakan alarm gw dan teman2 gw akan bahaya yg selama ini tertidur. Oleh karena itu, gw mau share pengetahuan tentang self defense ini ke temen2 semua, terutama para wanita. Hopefully, tidak akan ada lagi yang terkena kejahatan atau pelecehan. Tulisannya panjang? Gak juga koq. Baca dulu baru comment ya. Hehehe.. Semoga berguna!

Save Tidung - GMT2

Have you ever go to Tidung Island? What do you think of it? A clean and beautiful island with romantic love bridge?

You have only seen the surface! Behind all the beauties, lies the other side of tourism: trash, poverty and of course, environmental damage.

Gabung Mulung Tidung (GMT)/ Join to Clean Tidung is a movement which gather people, together clean Tidung from trash, give books donation for the local children, mangrove cultivation and cube cultivation.

The first activity will be done together with local government, tourists, native children and islander. This is very important for Tidung since it is a tourism destination which got trash from Jakarta's river and tourists ALL THE TIME. The second activity is carried out to encourage native children's education for the islander's better future. The third activity is a fun and care event held out to give us knowledge and introduction to environment care. Thousands of mangrove seeds has been prepared for this event. Last, the term cube cultivation may sounds new to your ear. Don't worry, new things are sexy. Did you ever notice that every time you go snorkel to the middle of the sea, the ships have to release their anchor to the sea. It hurts the corals. Here, cube stones can be used as the replacement of anchor. From what I read in Naked Traveller, in Republic of Palau, a country in the middle of nowhere, eh.. in the middle of Micronesia actually :P the boats are forbid to use anchor. In Indonesia, one of the biggest host for corals in the world, there is no awarenesss of that. It's a pity, but this is something we should work out.

Through this movement, it's hoped that Tidung will stay clean and stand as a favourite tourism destination.

Beside environment care activities, this event offer a wide range of fun and exciting activities you can do. Starting from snorkeling with tiny and colourfull fish, jump from the legendary Love Bridge, and take your narsistic pictures. Moreover, you can get a chance to appear on national media; Trans TV, Metro TV, ANTV, Kompas.com, Detik.com, GenFM and many moree.. They are there to get pictures too!
