WATER CRISIS.....

HELLO...

Yeap..it's been o verry long time that i haven't writing anything in my journal. Right know at my hometown Ranau we do have a water crisis because of the  earthquake and tremors happen lately and it cause the river raging and  start to flowing then corrosive the soil and trees near the edge of the river. The river does the massive obliteration that makes the dams here are full with the trees and the water of the river contain with mud that makes our water supply totally cut down by them. It's been 5 days we don't have water and this issue really makes me and all people in ranau worry and panic because we don't have any water supply that we can use to cook, drink, shower and etc...

Some of the people here do have the gravity water mean the water are came from deep down the soil that they have dig to get these water and some of them got water from the river that it is not link with the river from Mount kinabalu. But what i want to share is...i am proud to be SABAHAN people because when people from other district heard and know the problem that we been faced, quickly they had contribute and helping us by giving us the mineral water and some food because right know the supply of mineral water from the shop are getting lower and people will scramble to get it. Contribution and helping from other district really helps us a lot and we don't know how we can repay for what they did. We so thankful to them and only God can bless them for what they did to us...

This situation also do effect with my eating style because to cook my veges i should wash it with lots of water. This make me feel worry because right know we only cook simply food that it does not using lot of water to prepare it. This means that, mostly i only cooked eggs, sausages, instant noodle and others that it is easy to prepare. For me i keep thinking what is the best veges that it will not used lot of water. Then i realized that there are  some veges that i can cook without using lots water to prepare it like tomatoes,brinjals, celery, zucchini, and etc... What i did is i just wash it then cut these veges then i cooked it. I'm so happy because i still can apply my eating style even tough we have water crisis right now.

What i want to share here is...when we have this problem, when i'm chatting with my aunty about food that i want to prepare, and at the same time i also decided to sell all my baking tools because i don't have time  to do baking at my home and i'm also don't want to  used any animal product when i'm baking because at my place there is limited and very hard to get ingredients for baking that i can used. When my aunty ask me why did i want to sell my baking tools i told her that i'm a vegetarain (actually i'm a vegan now) and it's hard for me to get ingredient animal free here in Ranau if i want to bake. But what really surprising me on what my aunty told me that....

IF YOU A VEGAN NOW IT DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU WILL BE A VEGAN FOR EVER.  YOU ONLY BECAME A VEGAN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS... that is what she told me and with this statement by her, it makes me feel angry and sad because it seem that they never take serious on what i want to be. If i want to be a vegan that mean i want to be a vegan FOREVER..... and not in a short period like they think. But this thing make me feel more determined to show that i will be a vegan forever and i am not  fooling around with it.

If other people do not support you and don't believe on what they telling you about your decision, just ignore it. I know sometime their statement can make you feel hurt and angry but don't take it too serious..Just forgive them but show them that you are not messing around with your decision about it.

SHOWING PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THING THAT YOU WANT TO BE CAN MAKE THESE PEOPLE BECOME MORE APPRECIATED WITH YOU.

THE BREAKING NEWS...

This might be the breaking news that i have written today.There is an earthquake at my hometown RANAU SABAH.It is 6.0 Ritchiem and for us here this earthquake rally make us feel scared.We rarely  face earthquake and don't want it but only God knows what it does. Recently there are group of tourist that been hiking the mount Kinabalu and they did something that it is not allowed when you hiking to mount kinabalu,at the peek without telling anything to the guide, estimate there are 12 people suddenly takemoff their clothes and naked at the peek of the mountain. Their action had been commented by their guide but that group scolded at him and saying something that is not nice to him.For us here (PEOPLE OF RANAU)WE QUITE BELIEVE THAT  Mount Kinabalu is a holy place and when you hiking to mount Kinabalu you shouldn't do cursing, shouting and do something that is not appropriate thing to do just what these tourist had been that recently here.I mean why should you say something that it is not nice to people just because that person told you something that it is not supposed to do and you should respect to that place that you been. Just image that your home got a visitor  then out of the blue your visitor taking of their clothes and naked at your living room and at the same time there are your children with you.How does it you feel???

Sometimes if we go to other places,we should respect their culture or belive, even we not quite agree on what they belive but we have still have to respect it.Don't just simply do something that you think it is ok for you but think about others feeling.

Same goes with your eating lifestyle,if you decided to be a vegetarian we cannot ask other people to follow your eating style. Just let them do what ever they want to be.Maybe we can give some suggestion but if you keep comment about others eating lifestyle ,it seem that you not respect them. If we want to get respect from others we should be the one who respect first  to the other people and surely other people will respect with us.

The bottomline here is,we are not have to respect to other people on that place that we been to but also to other people who are been surrounding you.To respect others people can make our world more harmony and peace will be exist among us.

BEING A VEGETARIAN FROM PAST AND NOW...

HELLO....

What can i say. It is school holidays here means i'm also have a holiday season. Most people will say that being a teacher is great and easy because when the  is a school holiday we as a teacher also will have holiday season. BUT... what others never thought about it.... even though it's a holiday, teachers still have to come to school because there is a tans of work that need us to do it. Yeap its holiday but we still have to do the work...anyway i don't want to talk about it....change the topic now.

Ago i try to  be a vegetarian but i failed because i'm not able to conquer the temptation of meat. I lost and i'm only became a vegetarian for a year. But now, i want to try to become a VEGETARIAN  again because of my health.

Recently i'm keep thinking's why did i did not able to conquer the temptation that been given to me. Maybe because on that time i don't have much knowledge about VEGETARIAN and also i don't have many recipes that i can used in my daily eating. Or maybe i'm eating too many meat substituent that i can get easily from the grocery or maybe i'm not eating many veges that i'm supposed to eat.



For the first time being a vegetarian, i don't have much knowledge about this eating habit. I know what does it mean but the info that i knew is just little and it's not enough for me to apply it in my previous daily eating. Most of my food are still cooked fried because i like fried food and i still ate lots of desserts which it's still contain animal product. I'm also taking too many fast food likes burger, pizza,chips and etc which it does contain animal product. I think these factors contribute towards to my failure of becoming a vegetarian in my past.

But now before i'm starting again on becoming a vegetarian, i'm doing lots of research about this eating lifestyle. The reason why  i still insist to be a vegetarian because:
1. my health
2. i want glowing skin hehehehe ( i'm sure all women in the world want it)
3.i love animal.
4. for my children
5. reduce my weight in natural way....

I'm still getting more info about this lifestyle because i'm kinda addicted with it :). It really helps me with my health and my perspective about lifestyle. I personally not drinking alcohol but most of my family and people around me is quite a heavy drinker. I'm not smoking because i can't stand the smell of the cigarette and i don't like drinking soda because it does contain a lots of sugar. 

I am still learning about this lifestyle and i hope that i'm able to get more info and able to gain more benefit from this lifestyle because i want my children will follow it without me to urge them to follow me.

ME KEEP TRYING AND TRYING IN ORDER TO GET SOMETHING GOOD FROM WHAT I BELIEVE IT IS GOOD FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.
