Making candle

When the electricity off, we need something to be lighting. There are several kinds og lighting. Some of them are lamp emergency, center, and many other. A Candle is a simple lighting. It is a solid block of fuel (commonly wax) and an embedded wick, which is lit to provide light, and sometimes heat. This is really quick and simple to make it. You will save enough so much money.

There are several ingredients to make candle. They are wax, wick, and essential oil. All these materials are available from craft shop. Today, most candles are made from paraffin. Candles can also be made from beeswax, soy, other plant waxes, and tallow (a by-product of beef-fat rendering). Gel candles are made from a mixture of paraffin and plastic.

After prepare the ingredients, we should prepare the tools that we need. They are moulds, dye discs, double boiler, saucepan, pyres jug, sturdy can, and in a pot of water.

The first step to make candle is melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames; you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan. After that, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. Next, pour the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimize spillage and air bubbles. Then, release the bubbles make the candle sink, top it up with more melted wax. Finally, after four or five hours, the candle taken out of it moulds. Your candle is now already for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.

Candle is simple lighting. This is really quick and simple to make it. . In the developed world today, candles are used mainly for their aesthetic value and scent, particularly to set a soft, warm, or romantic ambiance, and for emergency lighting during electrical power failures. Scented candles are used in aromatherapy. The liquid wax is hot and can cause skin burns, but the amount and temperature are generally rather limited and the burns are seldom serious. The best way to avoid getting burned from splashed wax is to use a candle snuffer instead of blowing on the flame. A candle snuffer is usually a small metal cup on the end of a long handle. When placed over the flame the oxygen supply is cut off. They were used daily when the candle was the main source of lighting a home, before electric lights were available.

MY IDOL

I Would be Like Them

People have their Idol. They usually imitate their Idols, especially the successful Idols. What people usually imitate from their Idols are the style, the attitude, the way of thinking, and etc. They have to know that not all of the Idol styles are good. For example, many actresses and actors wear clothes that are not suitable with the cultures as East people. They implicated on free sex and fall in to a trap in Narcotics case.

Based on my opinion, the people who can call as an Idol is someone who gives positive effects in everything. For me, success person in their life are my Idols, because they give me motivations to work hard in achieving my goal. One of them is from Indonesian actress, Shinna Sherina Munaf. She is a great girl who has big achievements. She is very good play piano. She had has many albums that she created. She is a popular singer and also a movie star. Her first film is “Petualangan Sherina”. I really like it. I am collecting Sherina’s photos. Although, she also focuses her education while she enhances her carier.

 The second one is Alyssa Soebandono. I amazed with her. She is a beautiful girl. I like her hair and smile. She has star in many films. One of her films is “Inikah Rasanya”. It was popular when I was in junior high school. I like Alyssa’s acting in this film. Alyssa continued her study in Australia. Of course, many her fans to be disappointed, because they have not see their idol. However, he has time to come to Indonesia when she take vacation from her college. How a extra ordinary girl, we proper be like Alyssa. She used her free time to do anything to her talent.

In addition, one of my friends becomes my inspiration, because her smartness. She always gets achievements in her study such as getting a scholarship to study in University in Cairo, Makkah. She is a good Al-Qur’an reader. Her story is so interesting for me and make me believe that I can do the best for me and my family like what my friend have done.

What I learn form Sherina, Alyssa, and my friend is I have to struggle to do what I like to do. I think that is the best for me because life is choice. I believe that nothing impossible. If we hard working to get it and pray to God. So, let’s we fight to get goal in life.
