Vitamin in life - function, source and use

Good morning, fivers!
Did you have a good sleep? Well, a good sleep is also one of many ways to have a good health. Talking about health, today All in One Blog will give some information about that.

What will we post today? Vitamin. Why vitamin? I think, maybe all of us know vitamin. But, we just know that word. We don't really understand what is that actually? What is it for? How can we get that vitamin instead of the other vitamin? And many else. Right?

So, from what we gotta repost is the function, the source and also the use of Vitamin. Note it down, fivers! ^^

Vitamins are organic substances necessary for life. They are essential to the normal functioning of our bodies. They enable enzymes to make all body processes happen. Apart from a few exceptions they cannot be manufactured or synthesised by our bodies. They are necessary for our growth, vitality and general well-being. They are needed to balance hormones, produce energy, boost the immune system, make healthy skin and protect the arteries. They are vital for the brain and nervous system and for all body functions.
In their natural state they are found in minute quantities in all organic foods. We must obtain them from these foods or in dietary supplements.
Compared to our intake of other nutrients such as Proteins, Fats and Carbohydrates, our vitamin intake is miniscule. But a deficiency in even one vitamin can endanger the whole body. It is impossible to sustain life without all the essential vitamins.

Review: Trip to Sipisopiso Waterfall in North Sumatra

Hello, fivers! Welcome back to All in One Blog. This time we gotta tell you guys about our trip not long time ago, about a week ago. So, this post may suit to them who love travelling. Especially, exploring the nature. ^^
Where did we go? Yes, we went to Air Terjun Sipisopiso. That's how we call it in Indonesian. And maybe we can call it Sipisopiso Waterfall, in English :D

Last week, we had a great trip to Berastagi. Berastagi is a town and subdistrict of Karo regency situated on crossroads on the main route linking the Karo highlands of Northern Sumatra to the coastal city of Medan. From Berastagi, we started our trip to Sipisopiso for about one and a half hour by car. We took so long because there is a long road repairment, which cause a short traffic jam.
On the way to Sipisopiso that took a bit long, we won't get bored though we just can sit in the car without doing anything, because we can enjoy the view of nature. You may like the view so much. Cause it is really beautiful. Well, it's real, you will still think that you are looking at a piece of picture. But, that's not a picture! It's real! Automatically, you will take out your camera and take pictures. Cause I always do. ^^

Sipisopiso Waterfall is one of the wonderful waterfall in North Sumatra. It is located at Tanah Karo regency, at the northernmost tip of the Lake Toba caldera, near the fishing village of Tongging. There is a town named Kabanjahe which is about 25 kilometers away.
Sipisopiso is a plunge waterfall in that Batak highland of Sumatra. It is formed by a small underground river of the Karo plateau that hurts itself from a cave in the side of the Lake Toba caldera some 120 meters (360 feet) down to lake this level. This fact earns it the title for the highest waterfall in Indonesia.
Sipisopiso is also a well-known tourist attraction and a nearby vantage point offers great vistas of the fall and the lake.

Reaching the Sipisopiso resort, we took a look at the view for a minute. You will not want to miss it. You will also find a lot of tourists there.

Ready to explore, we set down to the waterfall. We noted down the time. Oh, the price to get into this resort is about five thousands rupiahs per person. If you think that you won't be able to climb up back to the surface, then there are some kind of comforting places for visitors. You can just sit and enjoy the spectacular sparkling waterfall of Sipisopiso or go shopping around at some stalls there. But, I think it's too far to look at the waterfall. ^^

This was my second time going down to the waterfall. I bet you won't miss it, you will want to look at the beautiful waterfall directly. So, be ready and prepare yourself, because you have to go down hundreds of stairs and climb it up again when you come back to the surface.

But, don't worry there will be about 3 places, such a place for the tired travelers. So, you can stop for a while if you feel tired. But, don't take too long on resting, they say it will just make you more tired and lazy to keep forward. The lower you go down, the path is harder than before. Make sure you are going there with your group. So, you can help each other.

Reaching the waterfall, you will directly feel the water splashing on you. It is so fresh and also cold. What a beautiful waterfall ever, I bet you will say this. It was so hard to take a picture, because the water kept splashing on us. So, we didn't get a beautiful capture of us there. ^^

After a while, we decided to climb up back to the surface. I can't bear the cold anymore actually. ^^ You should get ready and prepare more energy for this. Because it is more tiring at this time, you have to climb up back the hundreds stairs that you have passed on while going down. You need to have a good breathing.

Oh, I forget to tell that don't forget to bring another cloths for your change after back up to the surface. Because, no guarantee that you won't be wet, you will get wet from top to toe. Don't bring down the things that you think it may not get wet, like mobile phone or else.

If you have reached the up, there are a lot of small stalls selling food. Well, if you feel hungry or thirsty anyway.

Though it was my second time, but I still feel this was a great adventure. Because, every adventure, every trip, have its own moment. ^^ Do you agree?

Okay, that's all, fivers! I hope that this will help you if you want to visit Sipisopiso waterfall. If you have visited it, don't forget to share your moment here ^^

See you again next on the upcoming post at All in One Blog!

Review: Raden's Crispy Steak & Spicy Chicken in Medan

Hello, fivers! How is your day? I hope you are doing well. So, now let's talk about food again here at All in One Blog. Well, just because I love to do food exploring and try new dishes. ^^

Today, we'll talk about a resto which just open not long ago and focusing on STEAK. Yeah, even the name also contain that word. What is the resto? It is Raden's Crispy Steak & Spicy Chicken.

Have you gone there before, fivers? You should go there and try.

Well, the first impression is the place is so small. Though it has 2 floors. I think the first floor is just for the little group of people, maybe below 6 persons. And seems like the first floor has the air-conditioner facility. Unlike the second floor, when I went there last time, it was a bit hot and this floor can make up to a big group of people, maybe above 7 persons. It seems like this second floor only have the fan above. I don't know if there is air-conditioner facilty or not at the second floor, if there is, please correct me ^^

We were served good, but kinda a bit slow, maybe too many guests at that time. But, I don't think this would be a problem for a resto, cause you should be ready to serve a large amount of guests anytime. Am I right?

The menu is so unique. Even the sub-title of the menu is so funny. There are a lot of choices only for steak. So, this is a good point. The same goes to the drinks.

Although the serving is a bit slow, cause my drink that I have ordered the same time with all the thing we ordered, hasn't come yet for almost 30 minutes. Hmmmmm... due to the new opening and a large amount of people at that day, I try to understand.

The taste...... is quite good. I mean it's delicious. I don't really remember what had I ordered at that time. If I don't get it wrong, it must be black pepper chicken steak. You should try it.

And I ordered Orange Lychee juice for my drink, which arrived lately. T.T Thanks that it was good.

And last, the price is affordable and kinda cheap for steak. Well, that's my opinion anyway ^^

Overall, this is a must try resto also. I also want to go there again. ^^

Visit and try it yourself, fivers!

That's all my own review of this resto. Hope this sharing gives you a help.

Review: Epic, animated fantasy adventure

Today, All in One Blog will repost the review of Epic. Have you watched this animation movie, fivers? Here it is...

'Epic' movie review: Animated fantasy adventure gets by on its looks

The days, they must be longer in Shreveport, one has to figure. How else to explain the impressive number of irons that author and animator William Joyce has been rotating in and out of the fire up there?

A touch more than a year ago, the self-described "Louisiana swamp rat" won an Oscar for his co-direction of the animated short "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," a project that also spawned an award-winning iPad app and book. Last December, he executive-produced Dreamworks Animation's "Rise of the Guardians," based on the children's book series he created. In between and ever since, he has been overseeing any number of projects-in-progress at the Shreveport home base of his Moonbot Studios, including development of the ambitious video game and potential feature film "The Golem."

Now, arriving in theaters (May 24), is Joyce's latest project to be completed: the animated fantasy adventure "Epic." It is directed by "Ice Age" helmer Chris Wedge for Twentieth Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios, but Joyce's fingerprints are all over this one. In addition to writing the book on which it is based, he helped pen the screenplay, he executive-produced and he served as production designer.And although "Epic" isn't quite an animated masterpiece -- or as enchanting as the vastly underrated "Guardians" -- it's still a fun, sweet-hearted kid-pleaser that boasts some downright lovely animation. Granted, that mind-bogglingly generic title doesn't quite pop like "The Leafmen and the Brave Good Bugs," the very Joycean title of the children's book on which the film is based. (Come on, studio types. "Epic" isn't a title. It's a genre.) But then, the story it tells only barely resembles Joyce's original story, which is adapted to within an inch of its life here.

Instead, Wedge and company opt to follow a far more conventional blueprint, one that suggests "Ferngully" as crossed with "The Borrowers," "The Spiderwick Chronicles" or any number of other stories about children stumbling upon secret communities of mythical beings.

Still, there's much to enjoy here in this solidly told tale of a teenager named Mary-Katherine (and voiced by Amanda Seyfried) who is sent to live in a big, empty manor in the middle of nowhere with her scientist father, whom she hardly knows. To make matters worse, he's quirky to the point of being a laughingstock, thanks to his insistence on studying what he is convinced is a secret world of diminutive, fairy-like creatures living in the woods surrounding his house.

Scarcely can Mary-Katherine roll her eyes before she finds out -- through the help of a little forest magic that shrinks her down to Tom Thumb size -- that he's actually right. Right under their noses, an epic struggle has been playing out between the noble Leaf Men -- guardians of benevolent, life-giving forest queen Tara (Beyonce Knowles) -- and the Boggans, an army of savage, rot-causing creatures under the command of the hateful Mandrake (Christoph Waltz).

M.K. (voiced by Amanda Seyfried) doesn't understand the madcap antics of her father, Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), as he searches for a hidden world in the 3D animated film 'Epic,' based on Louisiana author William Joyce's book 'The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs.' It's a crucial struggle, too, since -- as we are told -- balance is key to keeping their shared forest environment inhabitable. But Boggans don't care about such things as balance. They care about destruction. And if Mary-Katherine is ever to find her way home, she's going to have to help the Leaf Men make sure the Boggans don't ruin the forest with their desire to wreak unchecked destruction.

Balance isn't just the key to the forest, though. It's also one of the keys to Wedge and company's film, which becomes one of those welcome animated tales that big sister can enjoy equally as much as little brother. For her, there's the female protagonist, a beautiful forest queen and talking flowers. For him, there's are bugs, slugs and an army of noble warriors unafraid to indulge in outbursts of action. And for both there's a sprinkling of humor, much of it delivered compliments of a snail-and-slug comedy-relief duo voiced by Aziz Ansari and Chris O'Dowd.

Granted, "Epic" does lose that balance a bit when it comes to its animation styles, as the folks at Blue Sky still don't appear to have perfected the art of animating human-like face. As a result, the visages of the tiny Leaf Men and Queen Tara often look plastic-y and doll-like, which is only exaggerated by the near-photo-realism of their forest surroundings.

But most 10-year-olds won't care about details like that. They just want to be entertained and they want to be charmed. And William Joyce knows how to entertain and charm, especially where children are concerned.Goodness knows he's got enough practice.

EPIC
3 stars, out of 5

Snapshot: An animated fantasy adventure, inspired by the William Joyce book "The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs," about a teenager who is magically shrunken and plopped into the middle of a battle between fairy-like forest creatures and an evil army bent on destruction.

What works: A kind-hearted, kid-friendly adventure, it also boasts some beautifully animated forest scenes.

What doesn't: The story follows a relatively conventional blueprint, and the faces of some of the Leaf Men characters are distractingly plastic.

Voice cast: Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, Christoph Waltz, Josh Hutcherson, Beyonce Knowles, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler, Aziz Ansari.

Director: Chris Wedge.
Rating: PG for mild action, some scary images and brief rude language.
Running time: 1 hour 42 minutes.
Where: Find New Orleans showtimes.

Bulgogi

Good morning everyone at All in One Blog! ^^ how do you do, fivers?

At some of the previous post, we ever talked about a korean BBQ resto in my city. Today, let's learn more about that korean cuisine. What is it? Yes, it is Bulgogi.

Bulgogi (Korean pronunciation: [pulɡoɡi]) or neobiani is a Korean dish that usually consists of grilled marinated beef. It is listed at number 23 on World's 50 most delicious foods readers' poll compiled by CNN Go in 2011.

Etymology
The word Bulgogi (불고기) literally means "fire meat" in Korean, and is derived from the Pyongan dialect. The equivalent word in the Seoul dialect is neobiani. It refers to marinated meat, cooked using traditional grilling techniques such as gridirons or perforated dome griddles that sit on braziers, unlike deep frying or boiling in water. The term is also applied to variations such as dak bulgogi (made with chicken) or dwaeji bulgogi (made with pork), depending on what kind of meat and corresponding seasoning are used.

History
Bulgogi is believed to have originated from Goguryeo, when it was originally called maekjeok (맥적), with the beef being grilled on a skewer. It was called neobiani (너비아니), meaning "thinly spread" meat, in the Joseon Dynasty and was traditionally prepared especially for the wealthy and the nobility.

Preparation and serving
Bulgogi, Korean grilled beef
Bulgogi is made from thin slices of sirloin or other prime cuts of beef. Before cooking, the meat is marinated to enhance its flavour and tenderness with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, pepper and other ingredients such as scallions, ginger, onions or mushrooms, especially white button mushrooms or matsutake. Sometimes, cellophane noodles are added to the dish, which varies by the region and specific recipe.Bulgogi is traditionally grilled, but pan-cooking has become popular as well. Whole cloves of garlic, sliced onions and chopped green peppers are often grilled or fried with the meat. This dish is sometimes served with a side of lettuce or other leafy vegetable, which is used to wrap a slice of cooked meat, often along with a dab of ssamjang, or other side dishes, and then eaten together.

In modern culture
Bulgogi is served in barbecue restaurants in Korea, and there are bulgogi flavoured fast-food hamburgers sold at many South Korean fast-food restaurants. The hamburger patty is marinated in bulgogi sauce and served with lettuce, tomato, onion, and sometimes cheese. It is similar to a teriyaki burger in flavour.
