brand new song “Dilema”, “Jangan Bilang Pacarku” and “ Semua Orang Berhak
Mendapat Rasa Bahagia”, gives supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI
composed them by imagining how the scenes would like look based on the
screenplay. When Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI

Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player)
, and Gusti Erhandy (Drum-stand-in player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to
this album. As a result, they’ve created perfect blend of movie and songs that
makes BROWNIES tastier. It’s always fun to have a piece of Brownies in your mouth.

musical score and OST of Brownies proved it excellent.

Is Smoking Good For Us? Before we smoke, it is better to look at the fact of smoking
effects, not only for smokers but also for non smokers. About 50 thousands people
die every year in Britain as the direct result of smoking. This is the seven times as
many as deaths in road accidents. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of

smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of
lung cancer than a non- smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is

people who smoke. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart
disease than non- smokers. Additionally, children of smokers are more likely to
develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in a smoky room, a non-smoker
breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen
cigarettes. Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make

During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the inventions of many
amazing things. Television is a great invention, but there are arguments for and
against whether it is the best invention of the twentieth century Television was
invented in the1920s and first came to Australia in 1956. It has played an important

the best invention of the twentieth century. On the other hand, there are other
inventions that could be considered better than television. Some might argue that
computer should be awarded the distinction of being the best invention because
computer has made life easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such as
heart pacemakers are best inventions because they help to save live. It can be seen

invention of the twentieth century. After looking at both sides I still believe it is the
best invention.

Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over
telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories and
photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law firms and other
businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other
organizations. A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and
receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they
are equipped with a telephone or are connected to one. To send a document, the
user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax
machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting
machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electric
signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine.
Then machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original
document and then prints a copy. Some business people use small desktop fax
machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A personal computer can
also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special
electronic circuit board called a fax board

Why do Hawks Hunt Chicks.

Once upon time, a hawk fell in love with a hen. The hawk flew down from the sky and asked the hen ,”
Won’t you marry me ?”

The hen loved the brave, strong hawk and wished to marry him. But she said,” I can not fly as
high as you can. If you give me time, I may learn to fly as high as you. Then we can fly together The hawk
agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring.” This is to show that you have promised to marry
me,” said the hawk.

It so happened that the hen had already promised to marry a rooster. So, when the rooster saw
the ring, he became very angry. “ Throw that ring away at once !” shouted the rooster. Then she was so
frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring immediately.

When the hawk came a few months later, the hen told him the truth. The hawk was so furious
that he cursed the hen. “ Why didn’t you tell me earlier ? Now, you’ll always be scratching the earth, and
I’ll always be flying above to catch your children,” said the hawk.
