DEBU

APATIS
( by Martha )


Sungguh ku tak peduli
Apa kata mereka

Aku tahu
Mereka jijik akan adaku
Tapi maaf
Aku sama sekali tak peduli

Tuduhan apalagi
Yang ingin mereka hinakan untukku?

Anjing-kah?
Iblis-kah?
Virus-kah?
Orang Edan?
Sakit?
Ha ha , terserah

Persetan!!??!!

Satu ahl yang aku tahu
AKU BAGIAN DARI MEREKA
Dan setahuku
Aku bukan sampah atau bakteri

Aku hanya ingin
Berpijak di atas jalan
Yang telah ku buat dan ku pilih sendiri
Kemudian ku ikuti arahhnya
Tanpa merugukan yang lain

Karena aku,
ADALAH AKU




DEBU
Dan aku hanyalah debu

Kotor,

Najis,

Nista



Yang kemudian lesat

Menembus batas ketiadaan

Hingga tak perlu lagi

Risaukan

Akanku


ABOUT WINE






WHAT IS WINE ?
Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced primarily from the natural fermented juice of fresh GRAPES. in most cases, wine sold in bars and restaurants is that made from grapes, although some wines are also produced from fruits and berries. because grapes contain yearst ( on the skin ) and sugar ( in the juice ), both necessary for the process of fermentation, grapes begin this process when crushed. the resulting liquid solution is called wine.
HOW IS IT MADE ?
# Grapes are picked when ripe, crushed, the stems removed.
# In making white wine the skins and seed are removed.
# Yeast is then added to the remaining mixture. this causes the mixture to ferment,
which converts the sugar in the grape juice to alcohol.
# All grape juice is white but contact with the red skin during fermentation produces the colour
of red wine.
# the skin and seeds are pressed to remove the remaining liquid.
# All the liquid is combined and allowed to ferment untill all the sugar is converted to alcohol.
The liquid is now wine.
# Then put into oak casks for a period. ( the oak in the casks gives flavour to the wine, the
longer the wine is in the casks, the more oak flavour it will have ).
# then the wine is bottled and allowed to mature-sometimes only months, sometimes year.
generally red wine takes longer to mature than white
HISTORY
The history of wine dates to ancient and possibly even prehistoric.The wall paintings and writing of Babylonia, Egypt, Greeca and the Roman Empire all portray wine making and its consumption in particular the Romans were influential in the expansion of wine production throughout their Empire, where climate and soil were suitable for cultivation. During the middle Ages, Europe became the wine growing center in the world, were wine is considered the most widely accepted meal-time beverage.many country experimented with the bottling, labeling, and corking of wine in 20th century. it was not until the begining of this century that wine became associated with fine food and made its entrance into the civilized world, as we drink it today.
The popularity of wine today's alcoholic beverage industry is growing by leaps and bounds, and consequently no bar or restaurant can afford to overlook this demand.

LEBUR
( By Martha )

Sampai kini
Hati ini masih tak mampu pahami
Mengapa ku mencintaimu


Maka....
Leburlah bersamaku
Dalam pengembaraan terasingku
Agar terciptalah sebuah maha karya


Sebuah orkestra maha agung
Yang simponinya merdu mendayu
Penuhi setiap inci atmosfir dalam duniaku....

WAKTU

( by Martha )

Apabila mungkin

Inginku menghentikan jarum

Yang setiap detiknya terus berputar

Atau memutar mundur

Untuk waktu yang terlah terlewati

Aku tak meminta lebih

Aku hanya ingin

Terus bersamamu

Lebih lama lagi

Dalam waktu yang sangat lama

Selamanya....

Aku hanya tak ingin kehilanganmu


ILUSI

( By Martha )

Kau tak terlihat

Tapi dapat ku rasakan

Hadirmu

Sejuk...

Menampar jiwaku yang kerontang

Seperti bintang,

Jauh...

Tak tersentuh

Tapi ku menikmati keberadaanmu

Ku bertahan dengan rasa ini

Ku menangis mengeja namamu

Aku tersesat dalam belenggu ini

Menggilai dan merindukan

Ada mu yang tak lagi terlihat

Dan tersentuh olehku

Hingga ku hanya bisa mengecup bayangmu

Dan pikiranku tak bisa berhenti

Bermasturbasi dengan sosokmu

Yang tak lagi ada

Aku merindukanmu



TARIAN EROTIS







KAU ( ********* ) KU
( By Martha )


Wahai makhluk indahku
Alunanmu melebihi indahnya Tchaikovsky
Menghidupkan jiwa kosong
Pada mata sunyiku yang telah lama mati


Melodimu lebur..


Menjelma kata agung bernama kasih
Dalam senandung hidupku,
Langit hatiku


Dan ketika kita telah bersatu
Terciptalah tarian erotis
Yang menggetarkan jiwaku


Oh,,,, aku hanyut


Oleh tinggi rendah iramamu
Begitu indahnya musik yang tercipta
Oleh mu, oleh ku....

.......Hingga.....

Denting-denting Mozart pun
Tak lagi terdengar olehku
MUSAFIR DAN KOTA SUNYI
( By Martha )
Dan bukan salah siapapun
Hingga semua harus berakhir demikian
Aku kota sunyi Yang merindukan warna
Yang telah sekian lama teralpa
Sedangkan kau?
Seorang musafir!
Terengah lelah akan pengembaraanmu
Yang Hanya NOL belaka
Hampa, sia-sia
Terimakasih untuk memilihku
Sebagai persinggahanmu
Yang entah mengapa paling kau percayai
Bahwa aku kan menjanjikanmu sesuatu
Namun entahlah
Apakah ini sebuah kesalahan ataupun dosa
Hanya karna aku kota sunyi yang merindukan segalanya
Dan kau musafir yang kehilangan arah
Dan membutuhkan tempat untuk berlabuh
Alamlah yang telah mempersatukan kita
Dalam kasih yang damai
Tanpa syarat

JERITAN OROK YANG TERBUANG
( By Martha )
Hai Adik kecil.... ((
Apa yang kau lakukan?
Mengapa kau menangis?
Kau sendirian? dimana orangtua mu?
Mengapa mereka meninggalkanmu?
Cup cup Adik kecil sayang,
Berhentilah menangis
Mari, berikan tanganmu padaku
Lalu, mari ikut bersamaku
Aku tak akan membiarkanmu kedinginan sendirian
Ah Adik kecil yang malang...
Rupanya kita senasib
Sudahlah,
Hentikan tangismu, saudaraku !
Menangis tak akan mengubah semua
Yng telah terjadi
Jangan takut Adik kecil, ada aku
kita akan menyusuri jalan ini bersama
Meski dengan tamparan angin malam yang menggigit
Maukah kau Adik mungil?
Tapi....
Hey, hey, hey.....mengapa?
Mengapa banyak Adik kecil dan mungil bermunculan?
Apakah mereka juga korban
Karya seni gelap orangtua kami?

SAJAK YANG MENANGIS









SEKARAT
( By Martha )



Ribuan kata sesal tak henti - hentinya
Berhambur......
Membentuk ion tak kasat mata
Dari mulut busuk ini



Membaur......
Dalam udara
Yang tak lagi tecium segarnya



Hanya balada syahdu
Pilu mendayu
Penuhi Atmosfir yang tak lagi damai



Aku tekurung dalam kesesakanku



Aku tercekik !!!!!



Sekarat dalam Delusif panjangku
Ketika ku dapati
Auramu tak lagi berwarna
Dan perawan sucimu tak lagi hijau



Sel otakku terus bereaksi
Menjadikan letupan - letupan panas
Dalam tabung reaksi yang berisi cairan emosi
Ketika sang waktu MEMASUNGKU

Saat menyaksikan....

Tangan - tangan SETAN MERAMPAS INDAHMU



Maafkan aku
Tak bisa menjadi pahlawanmu


DI UJUNG PEDANG
( by Martha )
Hijau adalah khayalanku
Biru adalah mimpiku
Merah adalah airmata kemarahanku
Kelabu adalah hari-hariku di negeri panas ini
Dan...
Hitan adalah mimpi burukku yang tak ingin nu lihat
Pecutan cambuk
Sumpah serapah
Pukulan-pukulan maut
Di siksa
Di aniaya
Di beri makanan sisa
Hijau adalah khayalanku
Biru adalah mimpiku Merah adalah airmata kemarahanku
Kelabu adalah hari-hariku di negeri panas ini
dan...
Hitam adalah mimpi burukku yang tak ingin ku lihat
Pecutan cambuk
Sumpah serapah,
Bahkan....
Kehormatanku di renggutnya pula
Semua itu
adalah satu warna
Dalam hidupku
Hitam, kelam
Bedebah tentang semua itu
Yang ku ingin hanyalah
Keluar dari neraka terkutuk ini
Aku sudah terlalu muak dengan tuan ku
Yang telah membinatangkan manusia sepertiku
Yang hanya seorang kacung udik
Yang ku ingin hanyalah
Bernafas sebebas-bebasnya
Dan....
Aku hanya ingin kembali
Pada pelukan ibu pertiwi
Tanah kelahiranku
Aku ingin kembali ke negeriku
Dimana aku bisa berkumpul
Dengan anak-anak dan suamiku,
Ayah-Ibu ku,
Juga sawah-ladangku
Akankah mimpi terindah ini...
Akan menjadi nyata
Bila setelah terbenamnya matahari
Nyawaku berada di ujung pedang berkilat itu?

Whiskey can be made from various grains and is frequently identified by the grain such as corn whiskey and others.American Whiskey includes straight whiskey, blended whiskey, bottle-in-bond and Tennesse whiskey.Straight whiskey and those bottled-in-bond are mostly Bourbon ( made primarily from corn ) or rye.
In order to quality for the name, according to federal law, a rye whiskey must be destilled from a mash containing at least 51% rye grain. Corn whiskey must have at least 51% corn in the mash. as an example, if the mash used were 51% corn and only 49% rye the result would be corn whiskey. The precentages, established by law, are minimums.Higer percentages of the require grain may be used and often are used in the mash with the result that you have a variety of ryes and corn whiskeys.the variety is even greater when other grains are used ( such as wheat ) and various distillations are blended.

ABOUT BEER

BEER

Beer and wines are FERMENTED beverages. All alcoholic beverages begin with liquid food product containing SUGAR. Fermentation is the process wherby the sugar in a liquid food product is broken down into two subtances :
1. Carbon Dioxide
2. Alcohol
When this process takes place, alcohol remain behind in liquid form and the cabon dioxide, which is a gas, is release into the air. the remaining alcohol is called a FERMENTED beverage.

YEAST is the catalyst that begins to transform a liquid food product into a fermented beverage. any liquid containing sugar can be fermented, if yeast is available to begin the process. historians tell us that ancient man may have made grain into beer long before he learned to bake grain into bread. For century both beer and bread were staples in the diet of the common man.

Beer is made from fermented grains while wines are made of fermented grapes n other fruits. Depending upon the sugar content in the base grain or fruit, this sugar is converted into alcohol content ranging from 4 to 14%. as a general rule of thumb, beers and ales contain 2 1/2 to 8% alcohol by weight, table wines contain 7 to 14% and aperitif and dessert wines contain 14 to 24%.

Water is the most important ingredients affecting the specific flavor and taste of individual beers. comprising 9/10 of the beverage.Other than water, there are four additional ingredients that greatly affect the finished product. These are malt, hops, Yeast and adjuncts.

MALT
Is " sprouted grain " Barley malt, which has been dried or roasted, provides the sugar necessary for the process of fermentation.

HOPS
Hops are the " Blossoms of the female hop vine ".hops provide the bitter flavor unique to all beers.

YEAST
Yeast is the catalyst or agent that begins the process fermentation by breaking down the sugar in the malt into alcohol.

ADJUNCTS
Adjuncts are primarily added only in the United States to give beer lighter color and a milder flavor. Corn, rice, soybeans, and potato starch are some of the adjuncts used in American Breweries. in general, the less adjuncts added, the more flavor and body a beer has.

SHARED ABOUT COFFEE



WHAT IS COFFEE ?


A Coffee " Bean " is the sheed ( biji ) or pit ( buah ) of the coffee cherry, which grows on an evergreen tree or shurb. each cherry normally countains two beans,which face each other. after processing and roasting, the sheed will become the " coffee " we are all familiar with. coffee was first discovered under the Ethiopian rain forest. Canopy, high on the montainside. the evergreen leaves like the seeds are laced with caffeine.


WHAT ARE SPECIES ARE THERE ?


There are several species of coffee plants, but the two most common ones are Robusta and Arabica.
Arabica Coffee :
* Superior in Flavor quality to robusta
* Lower Caffeine content
* 65% - 85% of the world's coffee is Arabica Coffee
Robuta trees produce beans, which are small, high in caffeine and often taste bitter.


WHERE IS COFFEE GROWN ?

Coffee grows in the tropical belt arround the world, roughly between the tropics of 26 north and south of the equator ( garis katulistiwa ), thriving in more than 80 Countrie around the world.


WHY ?

Coffee trees prefer rich soil ( usually volcanic and mountainous ), need a good amount of rainfall and warm temperatures. coffee growing areas seldom dip below 70 degree Fahreinheit or to 80 degree F

TALK ABOUT COFFEE





DECAFEINATION




Decaf Coffee / Decafeinated coffee

Decafeinated Coffee or " Decaf " is coffee that has most of the caffeine remove.
by weight, the amount of caffeine ound naturally in coffee is only 1% for the Arabica and 2% for Robusta beans.

When tou read " 97% Caffeine free ", 97% of that 1% or 2% has been removed.


In the case of coffee, various methods can be used.
the process is usually performed on unroasted ( green ) beans and start with Steaming of the beans.

There are currently two methods used commercially that removed caffeine from coffee:

EUROPEAN PROCESS / DIRECT CONTACT

* Use Methylene Chloride and water.
This method is 100% safe and is the best decaffeination mehods that will retain much of the flavor of coffee.

SWISS WATER PROCESS

This process uses no chemicals, but rather hot water and steam to removed caffeine from the coffee. The disadvantage is that the water processing removes more than just ceffeine. some of the oils from coffee bean are removed as well, making it less flvorfull.

FRESHNESS AND STORAGE:
To ensure rich, fresh tasting coffee, buy whole beans frequently. Air light, heat and moiture are coffee's adversaries. store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to protect and aroma.
