A blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. Blogs are usually (but not always) written by one person and are updated pretty regularly. Blogs are often (but not always) written on a particular topic - there are blogs on virtually any topic you can think of. From photography, to spirituality, to recipes, to personal diaries to hobbies - blogging has as many applications and varieties as you can imagine. Whole blog communities have sprung up around some of these topics putting people into contact with each other in relationships where they can learn, share ideas, make friends with and even do business with people with similar interests from around the world. Blogs usually have a few features that are useful to know about if you want to get the most out of them as a reader. Lets examine a couple briefly.

stereotype

My tereotype

This story talked about my experience. It is happened when I was in
Senior high school. Senior high school is the moment which
unforgettable experience.
In that school we usually gathered with our friends' everyday, and did
the naughty behaviors. We don't care about money, girls and anything.
We are just laugh and having fun. My best friend is Julfikor/fiko and
Rinda, After I grew to XII class, we knew new friends. She veiled and looking
so beautiful. Her name is hanny. Most of teacher and students loved
her because she is very smart, polite, and diligent.
On the second semester we were became best friend, we usually played together. And
sometimes we were gone to the theater for watching movie. We were glad
to be her friend. One day after finished final test, Fiko, Rinda and I
asked her " Hanny we are want to visit to your home" Hanny said "ok".
We were shout "Yeah…" we felt so happy when she said "Ok". After we
come to her house she asked to go to her room on upstairs. But we are
surprised because in Hanny's room we found astray with cigarette butt
and marijuana butt. Hanny came and seized the astray and cried. She
shies because in fact she is smoker and using drugs. And she wants us
to forgive her faults because she was liar to us. Rinda angry and left
hanny's room because she disappointed to Hanny.
Based my opinion is do not judge the person from their looking. We can
judge someone who is wearing veil is a good Moslem. Depend on their
personality.

Billingualism

Bilingualism is mean that we can use two
languages. there are many languages in Indonesian for example Sunda.
my mother tongue is Sundanese. I usually using sundanese language, to
communicate with my friends and whole family. I using bahasa when I in
the formal situation or with the people who can't speak sundanese. I
can speak sunda very well because my parents is sundanese and I can
speak bahasa because bahasa is the national language.

Stereotype

What stereotypes is???

Stereotypes are generalizations about a group
of people whereby we assume specific characteristics or behavioral
patterns apply to every member of the group in question. There need be
no basis in fact in these assumptions and it is often easier to create
stereotypes when there is a visible and consistent attribute that is
easily recognised. This is perhaps why people of different
nationalities, governments and authorities, and women as a group are
so readily stereotyped.
It is common to develop stereotypes when we do not have all available
information we need to make a balanced or objective judgment about
people or situations. It is this lack of information that can
sometimes lead to extremes such as discrimination and persecution, or
cause us to make ill-informed judgements or assumptions as a lesser
consequence.
Our assumptions are not always correct, for example if you were a
woman on your own and your vehicle broke down in an isolated area, you
would be forgiven for being somewhat fearful in the event a group of
men dressed in leather jackets riding motorbikes pulled up to ask if
you needed a ride somewhere. On the other hand, if a single vehicle
pulled up in which there was a man and woman asking if you needed a
ride, it is fair to suggest you would feel less worried yet the
reality is your risk is still as great. We can draw a conclusion and
suggest fear' is one common reason that people will stereotype.
This fear can manifest in numerous ways and involve entire races of
people, ethnic minorities in a given population, indigenous people the
common denominator is the differences. There could be a difference in
colour, culture, sexuality, language, expression or even the way a
group chooses to dress. So, from fear, we can add differences' to our
reasons why people stereotype.
Most of us watch television, see movies or plays as well as interact
with others that enjoy the same genre or entertainment styles. The
entertainment value is achieved by exaggeration of events to make them
more interesting to the viewer. Unfortunately, there are many people
that clearly demonstrate a lack of ability to separate fact from
fiction, and will believe much of what they are exposed to.
Assumptions are then formed when confronted with people or situations
that parallel what is seen in entertainment forum, therefore this type
of stereotype behaviour is learned'.
To put all this together in one brief essay, there is one word that
easily absorbs these three elements, and that is "ignorance". It is
the unknown that motivates much of our fear in the same way that
assumptions based on what we see as differences in others, or even
what is presented as our entertainment. Some movies for example are
quite powerful and evoke tremendous emotion as the story unfolds. The
learned stereotypical behaviour stems from ignorance in that
separation of fact from fantasy leads people to assume what they see
in movies applies in real-life situations.
Quite often, the way to deal with stereotypical behaviour is to
confront with facts and allay fears. This sounds simple however in
reality many people are even fearful to let go of their fears! This
sounds a little bizarre but when living with assumptions over a long
period of time, fear of change becomes a new element, and it is not
uncommon for people to disregard incontrovertible proof in favour of
their personal belief. This is the reality of how damaging
stereotyping can be in human relations, and in our decision-making
processes.

How to Eat With Chopsticks

Do you love Asian food, but want the full experience by eating it as it was meant to be eaten - with chopsticks? Chopsticks are the main eating utensil in China, Korea, Taiwan, & Vietnam. Watching others using chopsticks can make it look so easy, but when you try it, you end up asking for a fork. Here's how to say goodbye to that fork for good and put those chopsticks to work!

Steps

1. 

Pick up the first chopstick with the middle finger and thumb. Stiffen your hand for a firm grip. Have the broad end of the chopstick lay on the part where your thumb and index finger connect. Rest the narrow end on the tip of your ring finger, and hold it in place with the tip of your middle finger. (Hint: try holding it the way you hold a pen to write. It might rest on your ring finger or your middle finger, held in place by your index finger. Place the chopstick then lift your index finger so it can hold the second chopstick.)

2. 

Grip the second chopstick with your index finger. Place your thumb over the second chopstick. Adjust your grip to a more comfortable position. Make sure the narrow tips of the chopsticks are even with each other to help prevent them from crossing or being unable to "pinch" the food.

3. 

Hold it steady. This chopstick should not move when you attempt to pick up food. Alternatively, hold the first chopstick steady and move the second (top) chopstick by moving the tip of your index finger up and down while the thumb remains relatively steady, acting like a pivot point. The top chopstick remains pressed to the index finger from the tip through the first joint. The movement comes from flexing the joint closest to the knuckle. Straightening your index finger opens the chopsticks and bending it closes them, with perhaps a slight flexing of the thumb to keep the chopsticks lined up with each other. (Note: this alternative is different from the photos in how the top chopstick is held. The movement comes from the top chopstick, not the bottom one, so the top chopstick is held so that it can be moved easily. Use the method that is comfortable for you.)

4. 

Practice opening and closing the chopsticks. Make sure the broad ends of the chopsticks do not make an "X" as this will make it difficult to pick up food.

5. 

Pick up food at a good angle (try roughly 45 degrees from the plate); slightly lift it up. If it feels unstable, put it down and try again.

Tips

• The difference between looking like an unlearned person and looking like a refined cultured person is shown when you hold chopsticks. Do not hold the chopsticks close to the end. The farther away your hands are from the food, the better.
• Start out holding the chopsticks in the middle or closer to the tips while you get used to the movement and keeping the tips aligned. As you become more comfortable and confident, try holding the chopsticks closer to the broad ends.
• While it may seem easier at first to hold the chopsticks near their tips, holding them further back means that they are closer to parallel, which helps to scoop food (like rice) from below. You'll also be able to pick up larger pieces of food (see photo #3 above).
• This is the correct way to hold chopsticks. Ultimately, however, if you can comfortably pick up food and bring it to your mouth, you are effectively using chopsticks.
• Alternatively, you can grip the lower stick (from photo #1) with the tip of the ring finger but resting on the pinky nail bed. Then your thumb will lock this stick into place. The upper stick will move up and down to grip the food.
• Another alternerative is to grip the two chopsticks together like a pencil, then use the top fingers to push the sticks into a criss-cross position (and back again) to pick up your food.
• Take the chopsticks home to practice using them. Follow the steps above and lift a peanut, a pen, or a piece of fish. Try eating dinner with them.
• Floppy and/or sliced foods like cold cuts or sliced cheeses are good to practice on. They're more forgiving than cubed foods while you're learning to keep the chopsticks lined up and how much pressure to apply.
• Apply a firm but gentle pressure on the food, just enough to keep the food from falling from the chopsticks. Too much pressure is more likely to cause your chopsticks to cross at the narrow ends unless they're perfectly aligned and could launch your food across the table.
• Be patient as it takes a while to learn to use them correctly. It is perfectly permissible to ask for a fork or spoon if you get too frustrated.
• Wood or bamboo chopsticks are the easiest to use because of the gripping texture at the tip. Plastic ones will be harder to use. Metal chopsticks, as favored by the Koreans, are the hardest of all. Master one, and move up to the next. The next time you go out, your hosts will be impressed!
• When getting food out of a bowl used by others, use the larger ends of the chopsticks. This keeps germs from your mouth, which would be on the smaller ends, from getting into the rest of the food.

Warnings

• Avoid sticking your chopsticks into your rice straight down. It's bad manners, because it resembles the incense that family members burn to mourn a dead relative. It also resembles the manner in which rice is symbolically offered to the dead in Japan and China. When you are finished, put the chopsticks over the bowl and lay them flat.
• Avoid passing food with chopsticks. As in the previous warning, this resembles a section of the traditional Japanese funeral, where the family members pass bones using chopsticks. Instead, when passing food, place the food on an intermediary plate, preferably using a serving utensil or, if none is provided, turn your chopsticks around so the ends that have not been in your mouth touch the food, then give the plate to whomever.
• Chinese etiquette says that you may lift your personal rice bowl close to your mouth with one hand, as you use the chopsticks to push the rice into your mouth. However, Korean etiquette says this is very bad form! Be aware of the people you are eating with, and what the customs are.
• Do not cross your chopsticks. In Chinese cultures, this is a symbol for death. Always lay them parallel to each other.
• It is not easy to use chopsticks so keep heart while learning how to.

Things You'll Need

• Chopsticks
• Food
• An empty stomach
• Patience

How to eat Lesehan in Yogyakarta

How to eat Lesehan in Java Island

Every Javanese neighborhood has some food-vending establishment.
Neighborhood diners and roadside delis that open from 9 am to 9 pm. Look like this Usually such a catering personality
doesn't want to do your dishes, either, so you'd get the meal on a
scrap of old newspaper and banana leaf fastened at one end with a
stick, called 'pincuk'.
In ordinary daytime delis, you'd find no waiters. All the food are
already cooked, and put into large bowls and plates at the front. Some
delis allow customers to take whatever they want themselves. But most
apply the same rule of having you stand there in line, while the owner
holds your plate and put into it what you say or point at.
He or she will tell you how much to pay after you eat, a very
impractical way but that has been in practice since time immemorial in
this island. Of course some customers always manage to forget what
they have eaten, hence some loss to the owner of the deli; some others
recall what they didn't eat, thus some profits.
In Yogjakarta we can finding many lesehan restaurant which start from
6.00 pm until 3.00 am in Yogya, artists and poets and dramatists and
such lifted this thing up into a sort of a sub-culture it was enjoying
the Lesehan restaurant where guests eat lesehan-style, sitting on
floor mats.
Staying awake all night at a roadside angkringan was from then on
something 'romantic' and 'artistic', despite the week-long influenza
that inevitably followed the uninitiated. As a matter of fact nobody
ever thought of the vendors themselves, either; who had been in
trouble because they couldn't sell as much as they normally did when
their spaces were crammed with the same artists sipping the same
glasses of ginger tea all night through. This habit is abating now,
though. Artists still stay up all night, but they do so at Playstation
arcades.
