Curhat Tentang PIN KONVEKSI

Berawal dari rasa kecewa saya pada seorang teman. Dia membuat grup BBM untuk berjualan online kemudian mengundang saya untuk bergabung. Setelah bergabung dia pun menawarkan untuk bersama-sama meramaikan grup karena dia tahu saya juga berjualan online. Dengan senang hati saya upload gambar-gambar dagangan (tentunya dengan memilih dagangan yang teman saya itu tidak punya). Suatu ketika kami ngobrol (via BBM). Dia mengatakan kepada saya bahwa dia murni ingin berjualan saja meskipun dia (kalau mau) ikut berjualan pin konveksi sebagaimana yang sedang trend dilakukan teman-teman saya sesame penjual online.

Saya sependapat dengannya. Beberapa teman memang sempat menawarkan bisnis pin konveksi. Hal yang saya pahami tentang pin konveksi adalah kita membeli serangkaian nomor pin para pengusaha konveksi yang katanya disebarkan secara rahasia dan berbayar. Sebagai penjual baju online tentu sangat terbantu kalau kita bisa terhubung langsung dengan produsen kan? Iming-iming harga jual produk fashion yang lebih murah sehingga memperoleh penghasilan yang lebih banyak merupakan godaan tersendiri.

Kecewanya saya adalah ternyata teman bisnis saya itu adalah customer pin konveksi. Saya pikir saya  mendapat partner yang benar-benar berjualan dengan benar-benar survey supplier terbaik, memulai sesuatu yang katanya tanpa modal (sebagai dropshiper). Namun ternyata dia mengambil jalan yang menurut saya jalan pintas yang tidak terlalu memberikan manfaat.

Mengapa saya berpikir begitu? Saya kemudian mencari seluk-beluk yang lebih jauh mengenai pin konveksi ini. Blog walking di sela-sela pekerjaan menghasilkan pertemuan dengan sebuah blog tentang pin konveksi. Di blog ini dijelaskan bahwa pin konveksi itu juga terhubung dengan aplikasi online shop terkait. Jadi, selain mendapatkan PIN kita juga mendapat link aplikasi online shop untuk diinstal di android.

Kembali tentang pin konveksi, dari beberapa yang menawarkan harga pin konveksi, mulai harga 50 ribu hingga 300 ribu menyesuaikan jumlah pin yang dibagikan. Namun dari semua pin itu, hanya sebagian saja yang aktif dan benar-benar mendapat respon dari pemilik pin tersebut. Saya tahu itu langsung dari teman-teman yang membeli pin konveksi. Padahal kalau kita berusaha dengan sedikit sabar, kita bisa mencari supplier mana yang benar-benar menjual murah dan bersedia membagi pin BBMnya di website supplier.

Lalu mengenai link aplikasi. Kalau kita mau bersabar berselancar di playstore ternyata kita bisa mendapatkan aplikasi online shop supplier yang menjual dagangannya murah secara gratis. Memang ada beberapa yang perlu registrasi tapi itu bukan hal yang terlalu sulit. Biasanya kita hanya perlu konfirmasi pada admin untuk diaktifkan keanggotaannya. Kita bisa menghubungi dibagian komentar halaman playstore atau kalau suppliernya berbaik hati, mereka akan mencantumkan contact person di bagian deskripsi aplikasi. Dan itu GRATIS.

Pada akhirnya, meskipun kita memiliki belasan hingga puluhan PIN konveksi aktif plus aplikasi online shopnya, kita pasti akan memilih range harga yang paling cocok dengan karakteristik customer target online shop kita. Jadi, lebih bijaklah sebagai dropshiper maupun reseller. Jangan hanya tergiur iming-iming keuntungan lalu kita bertindak kurang bijak (nasihatin diri sendiri). Survei setiap informasi terlebih dahulu, toh setiap aktifitas menggunakan internet hampir semuanya dapat dicari informasinya di internet juga bukan?

*mohon maaf, tulisan ini hanya sekedar curahan hati saya, tanpa bermaksud menyinggung teman-teman yang berjualan maupun yang menggunakan jasa pin konveksi. Semua keputusan ada di tangan Anda sendiri.

Ketika Bayi ASI Tidak BAB

Hello, Moms! Pasti happy ya kalau punya baby baru. Sebagai new mom, tentunya sangat memerhatikan setiap hal yang dialami oleh si baby, kan? Mulai dari ASI, nutrisi utama bayi, hingga bagaimana bayi kita BAK dan BAB. Kita yang tadinya jijik dan ogah kotor menjadi sosok yang merasa bahwa memerhatikan BAK dan khususnya BAB bayi kita merupakan hal yang penting. Bahkan ada sesuatu yang kita anggap tidak wajar sedikit saja, maunya langsung konsultasi ke dokter atau bidan, iya kan? Naluri keibuan kita selalu menuntut untuk over protective, nggak cuma pada sang buah hati tapi imbasnya ke seluruh anggota keluarga. Tujuannya tentu demi kesehatan dan tumbuh kembang bayi.

Begitu pula yang aku alami, Moms. Sekarang baby boy-ku berumur empat bulan. Waktu memasuki usia dua bulan, baby boy-ku sempat nggak BAB beberapa hari. Sehari dua hari aku masih tenang-tenang. Namun memasuki hari ketiga, aku jadi panik. Baby-ku yang biasanya BAB sehari bisa lebih dari tiga kali mendadak tidak BAB hingga beberapa hari. Aku bahkan merasa seperti kangen dengan BAB bayiku. Pada hari ketiga itu, aku langsung menelpon ke Rumah Bersalin tempat aku ngelahirin si baby. Kebetulan di sana ada layanan dokter anak juga. Aku pun langsung meminta suamiku untuk meluangkan waktu di sela-sela kerjaannya. (Untung aku masih dalam masa cuti, jadi nggak kena ribet kerjaan). Setelah mendaftar ke RB, meski sedikit kesal karena mendapat nomor antrian yang sudah belasan, aku mencoba tenang. Karena ada yang bilang kalau ibunya panik, si baby bisa ngerasain dan ikutan rewel. Dalam tiga hari tanpa BAB itu, aku tetap ruting ngasih ASI, aku bahkan sempat menambah jadwal ASInya dengan harapan si baby cepat BAB.

Aku ke RB diantar suamiku. Meski sudah berangkat agak siangan (maksud hati menyesuaikan nomor antrian), sampai di RB masih harus menunggu karena ada proses persalinan yang memerlukan rujukan ke Rumah Sakit. Baiklah, masih harus bersabar. Setelah sekitar dua jam menunggu, akhirnya giliranku dan my baby boy. Langsung saja aku konsultasikan apa yang bayiku alamin. Dan apa kata dokter, Moms? My baby boy baik-baik saja. Fiuuhh...legaaaaa!!!

Jadi begini, kata dokter, apa yang bayiku alamin itu wajar. Bayi yang minum ASIX (ASI eksklusif), ketika memasuki usia dua bulan memang akan mengalami jarang BAB. Itu ternyata pertanda bagus. Kenapa? karena itu berarti pencernaannya sudah semakin matang dan penyerapan ASInya berlangsung maksimal. Mengingat ASI kita kan berupa cairan nutrisi, sehingga sangat besar kemungkinan bahwa semua zat ASI terserap oleh tubuh bayi tanpa bersisa kecuali lewat pipisnya. Kata dokter, hal semacam itu normal jika terjadi selama dua minggu dengan syarat bayi tetap menyusu seperti biasa, bayi tidak rewel, dan bayi tetap aktif dan ceria. Intinya, jika yang terjadi perubahan hanya BABnya saja tanpa diikuti perubahan-perubahan yang kita lihat tidak wajar, maka bayi kita tetap baik-baik saja.

Nah, new moms, jangan panik ya kalau baby-nya tidak BAB selama beberapa hari. Asal si baby tetap aktif dan ceria serta tidak rewel, dan masih dalam rentang waktu kurang dari dua minggu, maka jangan buru-buru panik.

Happy Moms ^^

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

August Rush, a film that tells of the journey of a boy to find his biological parents. Evan Taylor(Freddie Highmore), has been living in an orphanage for eleven years. He has exceptional talent in music. Every voice he heard always sounded as beautiful music. His love for the music as great as the sense of disbelief that he would find his parents one day even without the clues left behind since his birth. He just thinks that "maybe his parents are lost" when looking for it.

Who is Evan Taylor's parents? His mother was a young cellist, beautiful and talented named Lyla Novacek (Kery Russell), while his father is Louis Connelly(Jonathan Rhys Meyers), a talented guitarist and band singer. The both met by accident one night in Washington Square, New York. That night changed their lives.

As a result of an accidental meeting, the pregnant Lyla. When the approaching birth of her pregnancy, Lyla has an accident. The opportunity was used by the father to separate Lyla with her baby to the success of her career. Lyla's father told that her son had died at birth despite the fact that the baby was taken to an orphanage. Lyla just found out that her son was still alive after eleven years. When her father was sick and dying, he told the truth on Lyla.

Evan is so strong desire to meet with her parents, forcing Evan to escape from the orphanage. The decision to escape from the orphanage and musical instincts took Evan to the adventure that completely coincidental. Starting from a meeting with Arthur, a street singer in a city park. Evan is very interested in his guitar playing and want to learn it but Arthur continued to refuse to teach. Finally, with one box of pizza, Arthur took Evan to meet Wizard (Robin Williams). Wizard also a musician who holds children's street singers like Arthur. Wizard knows Evan’s talent and intends to make him a famous musician and changed its name to August Rush.

Evan adventure continues as the headquarters of the Wizard visited by police raids. Evan managed to escape and hide in a church where there is a group of people were practicing choir. In place of Evan and even then managed to show his talent as a musician. Evan was taken to a music school. His musical talent seemed to get fertilizer. In a short time, Evan made a concert in a city park with thousands audiences by the teacher.

After knowing that her son is alive, Lyla immediately find traces of his son, including the orphanage where her father went to entrust her children. Unfortunately, at that Evan had escaped from the orphanage. Lyla who has long left the expertise to play music and changed their profession only as a music teacher decided to return to the stage in order to meet his son. The same way was done by Louis who had already left the world of music, back musically to be met Lyla.

Up here we would have to guess how the ending of small families separated for twelve years. I recommend this movie to be your family’s movie. This movie teaches us that we can achieve what we want as long as we believe that we can and never give up trying to realize.

3 Idiots

Film Title: 3 Idiots

Cast: Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor

Director: Rajkumar Hirani

Duration: 164 minutes
Genre: Comedy Drama


Initially, I wanted to watch My Name is Khan. Then my friend recommended the 3 Idiots. She said the film is different from other bollywood movies.

The story was about three students of a famous university, Imperial College of Enginering. They were the Rancho (Aamir Khan), Raju (Sharman Joshi) and Farhan (R. Madhavan). After they had attended the entrance test and beaten thousands of applicants, they must stayed in the dormitory until they complete their education. Their journey on this campus was not easy. The students were always learning under pressure to become the brightest. They were applied to correct the statement that learning is the same as what is written in textbooks. Plus an authoritarian president who was always boasting the university. Until no one dared to oppose.

Their presence gave a new atmosphere on campus. Ignorance they often made the Chancellor snarled, particularly the genius Rancho. His two friends who eventually suffered the consequences. Raju who was from poor families nearly expelled while Farhan who enter college because of her father's insistence that the more distressed when her father knowing Rancho’s annoyence on campus.

Indignation when the president was increasingly becoming Rancho ignorance and his friends occurred at his home. Moreover when the Rancho fell in love with Pia, the daughter of the rector. It couldn’t imagine.

Rancho naughtiness and his friends couldn’t make us stop laughing. But when their friendship meant to teach how to love and care for others, not a few spectators to tears. This film really gave a lot of lessons, particularly about what kind of learning it. Rajkumar Hirani, the director of this film managed to make the audience was thrown in the opposite emotions of love, affection, and sadness. Between laughing and crying.

This film gives satire on the education world, especially Indonesia, that learning is not only done by memorizing books. The film also tells parents not to impose their children. That is not the task of parents and teachers, they just guiding.

It’s right, when my friend told me that this movie deserves to be the best. So many moral message is clearly understood. But in subtle and coherently conveyed by the director. The film is worth educating and inspiring me this really recommend until whenever. If in such film Laskar Pelangi Indonesia or Denias continue to be developed, with a little courage in doing touched on the reality of education, I'm sure the results will be close to or possibly equivalent to the film.

Minum Teh Lebih Sehat Dari Air Putih

Minum teh tiga atau empat cangkir perhari ternyata sama baiknya dengan minum air putih biasa. Bahkan dengan meminum teh, akan mendapatkan manfaat ekstra untuk kesehatan. Nggak percaya ?

Pendapat tersebut dikemukakan oleh tim ahli gizi masyarakat pimpinan Dr. Carne Ruxton dari Kings College London, Inggris, ini dimuat dalam European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Tim juga menampik anggapan selama ini bahwa teh dapat menyebabkan dehidrasi atau kekurangan cairan. Padahal, teh juga memberikan asupan cairan pada tubuh (rehidrasi) seperti halnya air putih, bahkan teh mampu mencegah penyakit jantung serta sejumlah kanker.

Pasalnya teh mengandung flavonoid yang dipercaya mampu meningkatkan kesehatan. Zat tersebut termasuk antioksidan polifenol yang biasa terdapat pada sejumlah makanan dan tumbuhan, dan diyakini mampu membantu mencegah kerusakan sel.

Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya mendukung pendapat mengenai keuntungan meminum teh tersebut. Bahkan selain mencegah penyakit jantung dan kanker, teh juga mampu melindungi gigi dari pembusukan sekaligus memperkuat tulang.

"Teh juga mengandung florida, yang berarti baik untuk gigi," jelas Dr. Ruxton.

Dalam hal asupan cairan, Williamson merekomendasikan 1,5 sampai 2 liter perhari dan itu bisa termasuk teh. Teh tidak bersifat mendehidrasi. Teh merupakan minuman sehat.

Jadi, minum teh jelas lebih baik daripada minum air putih. Air putih menggantikan cairan. Sedangkan teh menggantikan cairan sekaligus mengandung antioksidan. (ghs/ly)
