Son muchos los hombres que le dan una gran importancia a la belleza de las manos. Cuidarse las uñas es sinónimo de embellecer las manos, y hoy en día se considera un plus a nivel de seducción.

EL CUIDADO DE LAS UÑAS

In this episode, we talk about the pleasure we get from hearing stories, and I share with you a beautiful tale about the joy that comes from helping others. Listen now, and then read the (shortened) transcript below to check your understanding.

This story takes place in a hospital, many years ago. And there was a room where there were two men, both seriously ill. One of those men was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend of all his time lying flat on his back. He couldn’t see anything, except the ceiling.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they’d been on vacation, and the things they’d learned in their lives. And every afternoon, when the man in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the wonderful things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and the colour of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every colour of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all of this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene..........

VERSCHWENDUNG von Lebensmitteln
(A)  Etwa 88 Millionen Tonnen LEBENSMITTEL werden in der Europäischen Union jedes Jahr weggeworfen. Sie kosten die ungeheure Summe von 143 Milliarden Euro.
(B)  Das geschieht in einer  Welt mit fast 800 Millionen hungernder Menschen. 55 Millionen Menschen in der Europäischen Union können SICH jeden zweiten Tag keine warme Mahlzeit LEISTEN. 
(C)  Das Europäische Parlament möchte bis 2030 eine Situation schaffen, in der rund 50 Prozent der heute VERSCHWENDETEN Lebensmittel besser VERTEILT werden. Wie könnte man das machen?
(D)  Man könnte mit Lebensmitteln, die nicht mehr für Menschen GEEIGNET sind, zum Beispiel Tiere füttern. Man könnte das Interesse am SPENDEN von Lebensmitteln erhöhen, wenn man die HygieneVORSCHRIFTEN für diese Lebensmittel lockern würde. Man könnte Verbraucher informieren, dass viele Lebensmittel auch nach dem MINDESTHALTBARKEITSDATUM noch GENIESSBAR sind. Und schließlich gibt es Apps wie „Zu gut für die Tonne“. Sie informieren Menschen über Restaurants und Geschäfte, wo Lebensmittel billiger verkauft werden, damit sie nicht in der Mülltonne landen.

Hai, teman-teman! 
Apa kabar? saya harap semua sehat ya.
Akhir-akhir ini, saya merasa bosan dengan rutinitas setiap hari. Jadi, kemarin saya ganti suasana, dan coba membuat kue pakai resep baru! Saya tidak jago membuat kue, dan hasilnya…. setidaknya saya bisa makan kue buatan saya sendiri. ^^ 

"Ganti suasana", di Bahasa Jepang adalah 気分転換に, dan di Bahasa Inggris adalah "for a change". Ketika seseorang berkata "saya mau ganti suasana," ini artinya dia ingin meninggalkan situasi atau suasana yang membosankan ke suasana berbeda. Ini juga bisa berarti, mengubah suasana hati dari sedih menjadi ceria, dari tegang menjadi rileks. 

Saya pernah membaca cara-cara untuk ganti suasana yaitu mendengarkan musik yang berbeda dari biasanya, potong rambut dengan gaya baru, jogging dengan rute baru, atau juga membersihkan kamar yang sudah beberapa bulan tidak dibersihkan, seperti kamar saya, haha.. 

Jadi sesekali, ayo kita ganti suasana dan warnai hidup kita! 
Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^ 

Akhir minggu
