KOMPAS.com- Alangkah baik jika sejak dini kelainan buta warna pada anak dapat dideteksi orangtua. Dengan mengetahuinya sejak dini, orang tua bisa menuntun ke mana masa depan anak akan diarahkan.

Buta warna dibagi dalam dua kategori; buta warna total dan buta warna parsial. Pada buta warna total, penyandangnya tidak bisa mengenali warna lain, kecuali hitam dan putih. Untungnya kasus yang disebabkan ketiadaan pigmen warna pada sel retina ini sangat jarang terjadi.

Sementara pada buta warna parsial, penyandangnya mengalami defisiensi (kekurangan) pigmen dalam sel retinanya sehingga tidak bisa melihat warna tertentu saja. Gabungan defisiensi merah dan hijau adalah gangguan yang paling sering terjadi, sedangkan defisiensi biru jarang sekali.

Yang perlu diluruskan, penderita buta warna bukan tidak bisa mengenali satu warna tertentu, melainkan ia tak bisa mengenali kombinasi/campuran warna. Ia bisa saja tahu warna-warna dasar, seperti kuning, merah, dan biru, dan warna-warna sekunder seperti hijau, jingga, dan ungu. Namun, ketika warna-warna itu dikombinasikan lagi dengan warna lainnya, ia tidak mampu mengenalinya atau bingung menentukan apakah itu hijau tua atau biru, dan sebagainya.

Ada beberapa penyebab buta warna. Pertama adalah keturunan, yang kedua karena didapat. Buta warna bawaan disebabkan adanya mutasi dalam kromosom X yang diturunkan ayah atau ibu. Kasus buta warna lebih banyak terjadi pada laki-laki. Mengapa? Karena laki-laki yang terbentuk dari kromosom XY hanya mempunyai satu kromosom X. ini berarti jika kromosom X-nya terganggu atau rusak, maka dia berpotensi lebih besar mengalami buta warna.

Sementara perempuan yang terbentuk dari kromosom XX, jika salah satu kromosom X-nya mengalami gangguan, masih ada satu kromosom X lagi sehingga ia hanya menjadi pembawa sifat (carrier) buta warna.

Penyebab lain buta warna adalah karena didapat, biasanya ketika anak mengalami kerusakan retina atau cedera/trauma pada otak yang menyebabkan pembengkakan di lobus occipital. Kerusakan akibat paparan sinar ultraviolet karena tidak menggunakan pelindung mata secara benar juga bisa menyebabkan buta warna.

Menurut Dr.Amyta Miranty, Sp.M, presiden direktur RS Mata Aini Jakarta, orangtua perlu waspada dan segera memeriksakan anaknya bila tampak si kecil tidak bisa membedakan warna atau salah menyebutkan warna meski ia sudah sering diajarkan. Perhatikan juga riwayat keluarga, apakah ada anggota keluarga yang mengalami buta warna.


Orangtua bisa melakukan pemeriksaan buta warna sendiri di rumah. Caranya, campurkan benang wol beraneka warna. Kemudian minta anak mengambil benang warna tertentu. Jika ia tampak bingung, sekecil apa pun kecurigaan, tak ada salahnya untuk dikonsultasikan pada dokter mata.

Untuk memastikan kasus buta warna, dokter mata umumnya akan melakukan tes hara dengan buku berisi kombinasi berbagai warna. Biasanya juga akan dilakukan tes penunjang seperti pemeriksaan organ mata, dan sebagainya. Umumnya kerusakan itu tak hanya terkait dengan keluhan buta warna saja, tapi juga pada hal lainnya, semisal ketajaman penglihatan, luas pandang, dan sebagainya.

Yang perlu disadari, anak penderita buta warna tidak mengalami hambatan secara fisik dan ksehatan. Anak tetap dapat hidup, beraktivitas, bersekolah, berkarir, dan sebagainya. Orangtua bisa mengarahkan anak pada bidang-bidang profesi yang tidak membutuhkan keahlian warna secara dominan.

Some of you may ever thought about the TIME...
These past few years, I really feel this kind of feeling of extraordinary speed of time.

Actually what is TIME? there is nothing. In fact, we do not know such thing as TIME. What we know is the things that represent TIME... such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, etc. And we also know about gadgets representing TIME, for example, clock and watch.

We do not know about TIME...
That is why we cannot save the beautiful moments that we spend with the ones we love. We can only save the PICTURE of the beautiful moments.. We can only save the thing that represents that moment. Well, luckily we human can save at least those to keep us in mind that we have through such beautiful moments.

I was thinking about the time that I have passed. Childhood... Teenage-hood... and now, I am running towards early Manhood who will soon be married in several years of course. While I was in School, I did not even thinking about TIME. I only think about when will I go home...When will be the Lunch Break, and when will the bell ring????? But i was not thinking that I am passing one of the beautiful moments in my life...which is school life...

Passing school life, I entered College, which passed too quick... only 3 years, unless I decide to continue my Post Graduate program later in the future. But the thing is that... I learn how to preserve TIME... Respect every seconds I have given...

I am glad that even I do not understand TIME, I can enjoy the TIME I spent with my family, friends, and couple.. Even though I can't feel TIME, I am happy that I could go through the beautiful moments I spent through TIME...

I am happy that I could take pleasure in each day breathing fresh (not really) air in my beloved city...

Thank you for everything.. Who creates TIME...

This song is one of the best song ever..the lyrics..the meaning..and the melody itself...really touch my heart and spirit... Here is the video and the lyrics...
Well, this song is very true.. When you wanna make a change..start it with the man in the mirror.. Yes..it is yourself...

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)

I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not
Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With
Me
(Starting With Me!)

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
(Ooh!)
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make A Change)

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm Asking Him To Change His
Ways
(Change His Ways-Ooh!)
And No Message Could've
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make That . . .)
Change!

You are what you eat

This phrase is already known since the year 1826 when Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote “tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are” in Physiologie du Gout, ou Meditations de Gastronomie Transcendante. Not only Brillat-Savarin who had that saying, but also Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach said “Man is what he eats”. Those quotations are not to be meant taken literally. They were stating that the food eaten has a bearing on what one’s state of mind and health.

The phrases want to remind us that what we eat would lead us to become something. For example, if you want to be a body builder, you have to eat more protein in your daily meals. Foods also reflect cultures where, for instance, Asians eat more rice compared to Western people.

What we eat would greatly influence ourselves positively or negatively. If we consume healthy foods, our body would obviously healthy, and if we have unhealthy eating routine, it is almost the same like we are eating and hurting our own body. Unhealthy eating habit would consume our body’s health through several diseases like heart attack, obesity, and diabetes. The world knows diabetes could cause you lose your legs, and when you already lose your legs, you will regret your old eating habit which “ate” your legs. Heart attack is just the same. When you got heart attack you should regret your eating habit that ate your heart’s health.

So, Do not let yourself eat you. Healthy eating choices such as organic foods and more vegetables than meats would help keeping your complete body until years. Well, if you still want to maintain the unhealthy eating pattern, you will only last 10 years or less because your body is not enough to feed you that long.

Some people choose to keep silent when asked with crucial matters even when they know the answers.. Why?
Like the old saying, "Silence is Gold"... maybe this one makes them silent.

But actually being silent is not always that good. You cannot speak your mind, so You will only be able to "follow", not to "lead". Please speak when your answer is so important. You speak when your voice is important. Don't waste it for unnecessary things.

However, I agree if we keep silent in some situation. For instance, when you are not so sure about the result if you answer. you don't know if you speak, there would be someone disturbed or hurt. And when you are not so clear about the problem, Because if you answer with wrong info, you are so fucked up...

Secondly, you have to keep silent about someone's secret. Please don't spread others' deep secret to anyone else. Being silent will help keeping the situation nice and easy.

Thirdly, being silent in the class or meeting... You speak, you disturb. Unless you are required to answer or ask questions.

Forth, you must keep silent if you are facing a person who is so stubborn, because when you argue, there is no ending.

Lastly, you have to keep silent if you are being lectured because of your mistake.. Don't defend yourself with non sense reasons...

Yeah, I know these things are common. I just want to keep this warm..
Because I adore the beauty of silence. You may enjoy silence in your time. Silence will bring you hope and refreshment.

Like the old saying, "Silence is Gold"... I think this saying is not referring to behaviour, but it refers to situation that would help you relax and forget all pressures in your life. That is why silence is the purest music...more than the Classics...

In your life, You may be thinking that you do not have any enemies at all. You never fought or hated someone else. In this context, you are right if you say you have no one as you enemy.

But in other condition, sometimes you have to fight yourself. You have to fight your body to wake up earlier, you must force yourself to sweat in order to decrease the cholesterol in your blood, and you have to hold your appetite.. also to reduce the fat contained in your blood vessel.

Damn..those problems mentioned above are mine.

Two days before I post this one, I have my blood sucked and checked because since I have finished my Uni life, I feel so lazy and my neck often feels unease.

Well, Guess what...My cholesterol level is high above the limit. The normal level is below 200, and mine is 319...What the F***....

My friends and families do not expect that to happen with my current posture. In fact, IT IS!!!

From that day, I really have to force myself not to eat foods that I like... I have to wake up earlier to do some exercise, and at the evening, I have to take my medicine. If not, I could be having severe illness in 10 years, and I don't want that... I have to prevent myself, specifically my blood, as my destroyer...as a time bomb to myself.

But, this all does not matter to me.. As I also want to have a healthier lifestyle even before I checked my blood in the lab. Hmmm, at least I have a better motivation to get the ideal and healthy me. =)

From this experience, I understand that there is no enemies harder to defeat than you own self.

Since I was a child, I really like the thrill of war movies such as "saving Private Ryan" (one of the best). I was wondering, when will there be a War Film which scenario adapted from Indonesian heroic war.

But finally, a Trilogy movie titled "Merah Putih" ("Red and White") which means the Flag of Indonesia would be released on August 2009.

The Makers are not holding their budget by recruiting:
Scenario: Conor Allyn, Rob Allyn, and Jeremy Stewart
Special Effects: Adam Howarth (Saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down)
Stunt Coordinator: Rocky McDonald (Mission Impossible II, The Quiet American)
Make-up and visual effects:Rob Trenton (The Dark Knight)
Weaponary Expert Consultant: John Bowring (Crocodile Dundee II, The Matrix, The Thin Red Line, Australia, X-Men Origins:Wolverine)

Belakangan ini, lagu "Tak Gendong" banyak sekali dilantunkan oleh masyarakat Indonesia dari berbagai kota. Lagu tersebut mendadak terkenal oleh karena irama yang "catchy" dan lirik yang lucu. Akan tetapi, ada beberapa orang yang menemukan lagu orkestra tahun 50an yang mirip sekali dengan irama lagu "Tak Gendong" oleh Mbah Surip. Hanya saja lagu Tak Gendong dimodifikasi menjadi irama reggeae.
Berikut lagu orkestra tsb dan Lagu Tak Gendong.
Apakah betul Mbah Surip memPLAGIAT lagu tsb? Anda yang menilai sendiri...
