hari ini, rencananya mau lari pagi tapi aku bangun kesiangan.. ugh.
akhirnya, jalan-jalan aja deh, sambil cari-cari koran kompas hari ini.
aku putuskan maen ke tempat Mey, mau nanya jadi ga mau maen ke kantorku.
woow.. sampe tempat Mey, ternyata dia lagi sibuk persiapan buat masak. Hemm... menu pagi ini adalah tumis, tumis apa ya Mey? ada bakso, ada wortel, ada jamur, beserta cabe dan teman2. Woii Mey, apa yang km masak tadi?
yap, nanti jadi ke kantor. jam 8, dia datang ke kosku. perjalanan diteruskan ke lapangan hankam, ah jadi pengen makan pisang. biasanya ada tukang sayur n dia jualan pisang. dan ternyata, tukang sayur sih ada tapi pisangnya ga ada. liat2, eh ternyata ada wortel, lumayan buat dimakan. beli 1500rp.
"beli apa lagi, neng?"tanya si abang diantara kesibukannya melayani pembeli lain.
kayaknya si tauge menarik juga nih. di kos kan ada bumbu pecel dari surabaya, kalo si tauge ditambah wortel rebus, terus dimakan bumbu pecel, jadi deh makanan sehat. hemm.. yummy.
"beli tauge 1000 boleh?"tanyaku. "oya, 500 atau 1000?"
aku bilang 1000 dan si abang langsung mengambil kertas untuk membungkus si tauge. ups, kok banyak banget nih si abang kasihnya. "eh, eh bang. kebanyakan. 500 aja deh!"kataku.
"apa lagi, neng?"
eh, si tahu terlihat oleh mataku. hem, kayaknya enak juga kalo direbus. "beli 1 deh bang!"
saat kutengok kepalaku, weh, ibu-ibu lagi merubungi mangga, yang katanya lagi musim.
"berapa bang, mangganya?"
"7000 sekilo"kata si abang.
"boleh beli satu aja?"
"iya, boleh"sahut si abang sabar.
"berapa, bang?"
"yang besar 3000 rp, neng"
pilih-pilih, "yang ini aja 1500 ya bang? jadi belanjaanku semua 5000 rp?"
si abang garuk-garuk kepala,"wah neng, seharusnya 6000 rp. tapi gapapa deh"
senengnya hatiku pagi ini.
kuteruskan langkahku untuk mencari koran.
lewat rs patria ikkt, terus jalan sampai bakso 88 yang terkenal enak (iklan nih..)
di depan warung bakso ini, ada orang jual koran. "beli kompas ya, mbak!"
akhirnya dapet tuh koran. jalan sebentar, ada tukang sayur lagi. kali ini krupuknya terlihat menggoda hati untuk membeli. akhirnya,"krupuknya satu ya bang!"
jalan lagi. pulang ke kos. dalam hati berharap jangan sampai terlihat tukang sayur lagi.
alhamdulillah ga ketemu tukang sayur. takutnya, bukan jualannya yang menarik hati, tapi jangan-jangan abangnya yang kebeli, hehehehe.
sampai di kos, aku ini jadi berpikir.
aku kan tadi cuma mau jalan-jalan sambil mau cari koran. tapi tauge, mangga, wortel, krupuk ikut pulang..
dasar cewek... padahal aku sudah planning loh. jalan-jalan sambil cari koran. thok. tanpa tauge, mangga, krupuk, wortel...
tapi nyatanya? semua pada ngikut. ooo, seharusnya aku bawa uang pas aja ya.. 3000 rp. jadi ga usah beli-beli. tapi gini nih, kalo cewek udah belanja... repot urusannya.
btw, aku ga jadi bikin pecel... tapi jadinya malah bikin mi goreng plus plus. hihihi...
oya, tapi kenapa tadi aku ingin banana ya? karena menurut artikel dibawah ini, banana sangat banyak manfaatnya. baca yuukk... (btw busway, sorry yah tulisan di atas tidak sesuai dengan tata peraturan dan perundangan penulisan yang baik dan benar... maklumin aja yah!)
Bananas contain three natural sugars -- sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression :
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
Post Menopause Syndrome : Forget the pills ----- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.
Blood Pressure : This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration have just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power :
200 students at a Twickenham School (Middlesex - England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation : High in fibre, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers : One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn : Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness :
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves : Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work :
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers : The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control : Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) :
Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use : Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress : Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes : According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts : Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around; so, maybe it's time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
PS : Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes ? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe . . . . . polish with dry cloth.
Note: kalo udah dibaca artikel soal banana, arti-in dong ke aku, hehehe
