Recommendations For Your Top Things To Do In Your Town

Hello, welcome back to my blog. This time might be my last article in this year because it will get in the holiday period. certainly very pleasant. Are you already planning your holiday? since going to vacation on the topic this time I will discuss about "Recommendations For Your Top Things To Do In My Town". Who does not know Medan City? must already know. MEDAN is one of the cities in Sumatra is the capital of North Sumatra. Terrain has a lot of uniqueness and cultures so diverse. For those of you who like a vacation to a cool spot around the field there is a district that the air is very cold ie Berastagi. For those of you who like a vacation to the waters, Medan also has Lake Toba. I think staying in the city field is very pleasant because it is a strategic city for work and when I want a vacation, we do not need to go far. In my opinion, a very pleasant place there is the city of Berastagi, which is located in Karo. There air is very cool and we can enjoy a wide variety of fresh fruit native to be learned directly as oranges, strawberries and others. This place is perfect to relieve fatigue because tiring job.

That glimpse of the city of Medan, I hope to be a recommendation for those of you who want to vacation or even move to another place.

so my writing, more or less I apologize. Thank you

It’s your last meal on earth – what do you choose?

hello guys. Welcome back, not felt, now the month of December. soon time for the holidays with my family. But now they have to stay in college, do not want to rush off, haha. I will be back to bring a topic entitled "It's Your Last Meal On Earth - What Do You Choose?". Hmmm if the food I discuss spirit. Eating it is a basic requirement of every human being. You can not live without food. I also like to eat. The food in this world many kinds, ranging from heavy foods to snacks. Perhaps certainly a lot of people in the world who like snacking. But it should be remembered not too excessive because it will lead to obesity. Snacking is a very enjoyable experience while doing light work such as while doing the task or watching tv. Then if I was given the opportunity to choose my last meal, I probably would choose pizza. It is not special anymore, but somehow never get bored. Moreover, among the western, pizza may have already as daily food. Yes I think it is probably the food I choose for my last meal. Though there are many other foods that are more than that.

Okay so many guys on this topic. I hope useful to readers. tell what food would you choose for the last of the earth, give your answer in the comments. thank you

My Karaoke Song Of Choice And Why

hi guys back on my block, this time I'll bring the topic "My Karaoke Song Of Choice And Why". Actually I include people who very rarely go to a karaoke place. But as to Karaoke I like pop songs like songs Indonesia Band. One that I like the songs of the band Peterpan. Although the band is long, but the works of the song according to me interesting. When I also occasionally sings karaoke dangdut songs. I think almost all the Indonesian people because it's like dangdut dangdut songs are from Indonesia. As Project Pop songs from the band entitled "Dangdut Is The Music Of My Country" haha. Yes I think it is also very interesting song performed by the band made the song famous hilarious at the time. Karaoke with friends is so much fun, but in junior high and high school, I rarely let out of the house because they have learned. So I do not often play with friends to spend free time. I'm just more often play games on computers and mobile phones at home instead of playing out of the house. So after wandering like this I feel very free hehe. Because no longer be set by parents. I can be more independent and take care of myself tnpa help parents again but must still know the limits and still listen to the advice of parents. 

A few of my topic, I hope that my writing can be useful or at least help a little bit of your needs.
That is all from me. Thankyou

THE SCIENCE OF WINNING

      why everything you know about competition is wrong

      in 2009's nurture shock, authors po bronson and ashley merryman took a hard look at what science has to say about parenting. turns out, many of today's child-rearing strategies are backfiring (kids who are never spanked arent better off than kids who are, praise can do more harm than good). In their new book, top dog; the science of winning and losing, the pair again pores over research and talks to leading scientists- this time to learn about competition

how did you get interspeed incompetition?

In future shock we wrote about the tricky issue of praise and rewards, and we talked to so many parents who wanted to give trophies to everyone. people where proud that they didnt keep score at kids "soccer game. but we knew that the kids keep score

what did you discover in your research on teams?

bronson: there this eroneous notion that we are team players, mean we will work even harder for the team than we would for ourself. but in real life we belong to five or six different teams, none of which provide this deep sence of belong. you are on the marketing team and i am on the product team and we are also on the quality team.

and there is another problem. there is this concept that in teams as need to have good relationship between members in order to be high - perform. but a team that is all chummy, with no discord, is often like a couple that is bury something and not talking about it. Teams are going to be challenge and they have to perform - and that sometimes requirts yell at teammates or do something that pisses people off.

Your favorite place you’ve traveled to

hello guys, how are you? I hope that's fine, because if not well maybe you will not open my block hehe. this time I will come back to share something about myself. I will discuss about "Your Favorite Place You've Traveled To". Yes my favorite vacation spot. I was coming from the field is certainly close to Lake Toba. who does not know the lake Toba? it is impossible not to know Lake Toba, one of the largest lakes in the world. It is in North Sumatra close to my area. Favorite place that I always wanted to go was Parapat. Parapat is one interesting vacation spots in the Area of ​​Lake Toba. Parapat does have its own beauty, even in the current trip is near to Parapat we can already see the sights of Lake Toba amazingly beautiful. In Parapat we can find and know the culture of the Batak culture ranging from clothing, dance called Sigalegale, and also the history of the kingdom of Batak. But what I liked was sailed to Tomok, one of the areas in the name of the Samosir island in the middle of Lake Toba. Trip to there was very pleasant and a little tense when the weather is not good. The wind is blowing hard to get the ship rocking but still intriguing. We can see the sights settlement on the outskirts of Lake Toba. But now that I am far from Lake Toba, I hope when i back home I will be vacationing there again with my family. For those of you who also were looking for a fun vacation spot, I recommend to Lake Toba. You will see how wonderful our God's creation. 

A few of my discussion, I'll see you in the next topics. Keep the spirit and happy for all of us. thank you

Smartphone Apps That You Love

Hello guys, after a few weeks of not blogging, now I'll add my blog topic. this time I will discuss the application on the smartphone. I think most people who've grown to have a smartphone. in our smartphones can download a lot of applications that we want to facilitate our work or for entertainment when you're bored. I will raise the topic of "Smartphone Apps That You Love". Yes I will discuss smartphone application that I like.
Application on my smartphone I like the most is Google browser. google browser we can open up anything we wanted from finding tasks, mencai information from within or outside the country, even we can find references for a holiday or a meal with family or friends. other than that I like the most is a google map, I derived from Medan will be greatly missed my home there, with the help of google I can see my own house so that it can feel a little less homesick I would have my house. I think every smartphone must have pinned google browser application so that the newly purchased smartphone is no longer to bother to download the application. indeed there are many more other applications similar to Google's, but Google still has a lot more interest from another application that works like google Google browser could also replace textbooks so that we do not have to bother anymore to the library to look for tasks that make us dizzy. I think you also must have very often use this application for the purposes of specific purposes. even to make this blog did I use google. ha ha

Okay. That's it for this topic, see you in the next blog.
See you
