soar (or sore) throat and chinese medicines

-
in indonesia, people are really familiar with both ordinary non-antibiotic medicines, antibiotics and herbal medicines. Herbal medicines in Indonesia are devided into two kinds; authentic indonesian herbs and chinese herbs. People believe that if they wanted safe, cheap and healthy medicines - you could try the chinese medicines.


personally, i always believed in herbal medicines. not only that it is natural, it does not contain any chemicals as well. Their safetines is is quite guaranteed (as in, you could not eat any plants you can find if you do not know their use, since that could be terribly deadly). i remembered drinking a medicine called "Lou Han Kuo". it is some sort of a brown colored sweet minty flavor cube that of you put it in a glass of hot water, it will dissolve and the now brown water will be the best soar(or sore) throat medicine. My friend (Sesarina Prameswari and Liko Sabarani a.k.a Ames and Meiling) had told me about this medicine called "pei pa koa" recently this morning. it taste like honey+mint+ginger. it's both cooling to the throat and nice tasting. kindda reminds me of Marry Poppins' medicine : "just a spoon full of sugar and some medicine go down. some medicine go down... medicine go down". i wanted a medicine that taste like everything i wanted. The ones that tasted like strawberry, caramel, tea, baileys (yum...) and even ikan goreng rica-rica (fried fish with extra hot chili sauce on top). that last one might be too much, but hey i'm really hungry right now. i could think of all the food that i could eat... Ayam Bakar Gathari (sweet griled chicken), New York Fish and Chips, Fried Calamari Rings and such. GOSH, i should stop talking about foods, now... *stomach grumbling severly*


in a few more more minutes school will be over. but i still have a narnia rehersal and a vocal class with Mr. Hari. Not that i dont wanna come... I'd LOVE to come. but the thing is my stomach is screaming out my name for some "food glorious food !". you know what i mean...


later,

joe

Awal tahun kemarin aku jatuh hati dengan seseorang dan hari ini aku mempertanyakan apakah lebih baik berteman aja dengan pria ini. Lucu ya, betapa cepatnya hati ini bisa berubah. Di satu sisi aku lega logika ku sudah kembali mencuat, naik ke permukaan laut endorfin yang perlahan surut. Realitasnya, pasang yang surut menunjukkan kotornya pantai hatiku. Banyak sisa-sisa sampah dari masa lalu; ngerasa nggak layak dapet perhatian, takut ditinggal, takut ditolak, takut disakiti. Hal-hal yang ku kira sudah ku buang jauh-jauh. Ternyata membuang ide dari pikiran dengan menghancurkan ide itu berbeda. Selama 2 minggu aku bersihin sampah-sampah ini. Aku ganti ketakutan ku dengan kata-kata Tuhan yang menyatakan aku berharga di matanya, mulia bahkan (yesaya 43:4). Aku terima kata-kataNya yang bilang "Aku mengasihi engkau dengan kasih yang kekal" kalau di bahasa inggrisnya "I have loved you with an everlasting love". Sudah terjadi, sudah ku alami, dan akan selalu Ia tunjukkan pad
