Lembah Cocora
'Palma de Cera' alias Wax Palms adalah pohon nasional Kolombia, sekaligus jenis palem tertinggi di dunia. Wisatawan bisa merasakan berdiri di antara ratusan palem tertinggi ini di Lembah Cocora.
Dinamakan 'wax palms' karena batang pohon ini dilumuri lilin. Pohon palem ini bisa tumbuh sampai 50 meter, menjulang ke langit. Ada satu tempat untuk melihat ratusan 'wax palms' sekaligus, yakni di Lembah Cocora.
Dari Amusing Planet, Jumat (19/7/2013), Lembah Cocora berlokasi di wilayah Quindio. Letaknya di barat laut Kolombia, ketinggian 1.800-2.400 mdpl. Lembah ini persis berada di bantaran Quindio River.
Lembah Cocora adalah gerbang masuk Los Nevados National Park. Taman Nasional ini membentang seluas 60 ribu kilometer persegi, menempati 4 wilayah berbeda di Kolombia. Karena letaknya yang tinggi, Lembah Cocora seringkali diselimuti kabut.
Itulah mengapa berada di Lembah Cocora bagaikan masuk ke negeri lain. Pohon-pohon palem menjulang tinggi, berjarak satu sama lain. Lanskap hijau membentang di depan mata, membentuk kontur perbukitan, tertutup oleh kabut tebal. Udara di sini juga sangat dingin, wisatawan harus membawa jaket dan syal tebal.
'Wax palms' bisa hidup hingga 120 tahun. Daunnya hijau tua, batangnya berwarna abu-abu cerah dan dilapisi lilin. Dulu sebelum ada listrik, lilin ini biasa digunakan masyarakat setempat untuk membuat sabun dan lilin. Bagian luar batang pohon ini digunakan untuk pondasi rumah. Buahnya jadi makanan babi dan ternak.
Ada tradisi yang berlangsung di sini selama berabad-abad. Dulu, umat Kristen sering memotong ujung pohon palem untuk merayakan Palm Sunday. Namun akhirnya tahun 1985, pemerintah Kolombia melarang pemotongan pohon palem. Sejak itu, wisatawan bisa melihat dan menyentuh pohon-pohon ini di Lembah Cocora.

How the Fight Started
My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'
'No,' she answered.
I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'
... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...
______________________________
I took my wife to a restaurant.
The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Nah, she can order for herself."
And that's when the fight started.....
_____________________________
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school
reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his
drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
I asked her, "Do you know him?"
"Yes", she sighed,
"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking
right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he
hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on
celebrating that long?"
And then the fight started...
______________________________
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat,
making beer.. Always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing
scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into
the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again
I handed her a toothbrush.
I said, "When you finish cutting the
grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
_____________________________
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."
And then the fight started...
______________________________
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the
boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential
downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather
would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back;
now with a different anticipation,
and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...
______________________________
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."
I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started......
______________________________
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply
for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me
for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets
and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that
I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.
She said, 'You should have dropped
your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'
And then the fight started...
______________________________
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you
to pay me a compliment.'
I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."
And then the fight started........
______________________________
I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!
He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'
So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'
That's how the fight started.
______________________________
One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot
as a Christmas gift...
The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.
When she asked me why, I replied,
"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'
'No,' she answered.
I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'
... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

Apalah (Arti Menunggu) by Raisa
Telah lama aku bertahan
Demi cinta wujudkan sebuah harapan
Namun ku rasa cukup ku menunggu
Semua rasa t'lah hilang
Sekarang aku tersadar
Cinta yang ku tunggu tak kunjung datang
Apalah arti aku menunggu
Bila kamu tak cinta lagi
Namun ku rasa cukup ku menunggu
Semua rasa t'lah hilang
Sekarang aku tersadar
Cinta yang ku tunggu tak kunjung datang
Apalah arti aku menunggu
Bila kamu tak cinta lagi
Dahulu kaulah segalanya
Dahulu hanya dirimu yang ada di hatiku
Namun sekarang aku mengerti
Tak perlu ku menunggu
Sebuah cinta yang semu
Sekarang aku tersadar
Cinta yang ku tunggu tak kunjung datang
Apalah arti aku menunggu
Bila kamu tak cinta lagi
Buat kamu-kamu yang mao move-on.. ;)

Terjebak Nostalgia by Raisa
Telah lama ku tahu engkau
Punya rasa untukku
Kini saat dia tak kembali
Kau nyatakan cintamu
Namun aku takkan pernah bisa
Ku takkan pernah merasa
Rasakan cinta yang kau beri
Ku terjebak di ruang nostalgia
Semua yang ku rasa kini
Tak berubah sejak dia pergi
Maafkanlah ku hanya ingin sendiri
Ku di sini
Namun aku takkan pernah bisa
Ku takkan pernah merasa
Rasakan cinta yang kau beri
Ku terjebak di ruang nostalgia
Semua yang ku rasa kini
Tak berubah sejak dia pergi
Maafkanlah ku hanya ingin sendiri
Ku di sini
Lalalalalalalala.. ;)

Sushi Tei
Banyak orang yang menyukai sushi, but I don't like it. It's sooooo not for me..
Jadi, kenapa kmaren ini saya pergi k Sushi Tei di TSM, Bandung??
Well, adik saya meminta ditemani, karena saya adalah kakak yang baik, jadi akhirny kami pergi juga berdua..
Dan d sana, saya hanya memesan Ten Ju (tempura campur) dan iced sweet lychee..
Sementara adik saya menggila dengan memesan salmon gyoza, JDR, salmon sushi, baby gurita, dan es krim Shiratama Azuki (tidak sempat terfoto karena sudah terlanjur dmakan)..
Alhasil, kami berdua menghabiskan uang sekitar 360 ribu..
hahahahaha..
