Reminded of Mistakes

Do you know this feeling?

When I made a mistake, I regret it, I try to be better at it. And sometimes I wrote about something that I've learnt on things, like twitter, blog, or anything. But days or months or even years after that, when life goes on, cases like that that came, and surprisingly I still did that mistake. I forgot about it like, really forget that.

So I made that mistake, like I did "taking things for granted" AGAIN. But now, because I'm older, that "taking things for granted" caused me like bigger penalty! It gave me lost in a bigger scale.
And that, I found out even in this blog, I have written how I should change that habit just a minute ago, and I was like "what, I wrote that thing??". Silly, yes it is silly. I did the same mistakes all over again. I was always the person that do not want to repeat the same mistakes over again like stupids. Only stupids fall over the same hole again and again, yet I did that. Wow.

Am I like, getting older and harder to change to be better??? AAKKHH

Time Management and Self Control

Hi people,

Yes it's been years that I've abandoned this blog. Guess I found other activities filling my time. Well, of course I've been busy doing school stuffs, and others. I feel my time's so short that everything's coming out pressing me and I feel a little bit overwhelmed.

In such time, I suppose time management is the best answer. Everybody know about this, I mean it's like a general knowledge, kids have been taught at school to write agendas, schedules, and everything. I remember that time when I got that as a homework, I really put every details about how my activities supposed to be in my "perfect life imagination", for example like I wrote that every noon after school my schedule said that I have to study and all that stuff, but in fact, reality's always goes different. I even chose to watch TV or doing nothing instead of following that "perfect schedule".

FUNNY thing is, now that I'm in University, that time I described was at elementary school, yet it's still so hard for me to do self control, be discipline to my schedule. So many temptations, laziness, or anything that keep me out of my control. It's like everyday, or every hours, it's a battlefield in my mind, followed by regrets if I lose that and chose a wrong choice (of not following my schedule, or what I supposed to be doing that time). Thank God, that I always be blessed even when I made that wrong choice, God always be there, forgiving me, giving me other chances to catch up.

Maybe that's it for today. Thank you for reading my bla-bla-bla. I should be doing other things rather than sitting, typing blogs.

Bye friends, God Bless.

Halo blog,

Manusia itu.. memang pada dasarnya egois yaa. Lebih memikirkan diri sendiri ketimbang orang lain. Suatu contoh yang kudapat dari suatu pelajaran, dan ini adalah hal yang kurasakan. Yaitu ketika banyak orang di sana yang mengalami bencana alam, aku pribadi kurang peduli karena tidak melihatnya langsung, tetapi aku lebih peduli pada aktifitasku yang lain, lebih peduli kepada kesakitan kecil yang kurasakan. Padahal banyak orang di luar sana yang berjuang hidup dan mati, tapi aku masih tetap saja berkutat merasakan diriku susah dengan aktivitas pribadi.


Banyak faktor-faktor penyebabnya. Setelah ku analisa, ini ada beberapa kemungkinan alasan;
1. Karena aku mengerti urgensi dari kepentinganku dan tidak mengerti urgensi dari kepentingan orang lain.
2. Karena aku terlalu sibuk dengan urusanku sendiri, sehingga tidak sempat memikirkan urusan orang lain.
3. Karena aku tidak punya waktu untuk berdiskusi dengan orang lain.
4. Karena aku tidak mengasihi orang tersebut dan tidak kenal pada orang tersebut.
5. Karena aku mengasihi orang tersebut, tapi aku taking things for granted dan menganggap orang tersebut baik-baik saja tanpa aku.

Melihat penyebab-penyebab tadi, aku sendiri menjadi malu. Penjabaran diatas memiliki solusi, yang kurasa solusi itu sudah langsung terpikirkan tanpa perlu kutulis disini. Hanya saja, kesimpulannya adalah aku harus lebih pengertian terhadap orang lain dan meluangkan waktu sedikit untuk peduli pada orang lain :D

How could our brain memorize things?

As we know, our brain is full of neurons which have synapsis to connect between one neuron to another. To remind you, we've studied this in Junior High and here's the picture. Synapsis is on the box, and zoomed in.

So, when we learn new things, we store memories. And the most important process in storing memories is that the synapses as what i pictured above is playing a role to cement the memory. Those synapses have to be strengthened so that the memory is in place and stays there.

To strenghten synapses, we needs to make new proteins since these proteins builds the synapses and make it stronger.

It was just like exercise, new proteins are needed to build up muscle mass, and so do synapses.

The production of new proteins can only occur when the RNA that will make the required proteins is turned on. Until then, the RNA is "locked up" by a silencing molecule, which is a micro RNA.

When we are starting to hearing or watching something interesting, or we could say as remembering, synapses got activated, and one of the proteins wrapped around that silencing complex gets degraded. Then the RNA is suddenly free to synthesize a new protein.

So when we forget something, the synapses are gone or the connection between one neuron to another one are lost.
