Today I wanna write about Sambung Nyawa leaf, a kind of herbal medicine with friendly taste even for children.This leaf always reminds me of  my dear father, since I know this leaf the first time from him. He told me that Sambung Nyawa leaf can cure many diseases. He suggested me to plant this kind of plant in case I need it. Even my dad also gave one to my parents in law.  Then, the chance to try this leaf came when my husband had stomachache, I picked 7 pieces of Sambung Nyawa leaf and ask him to chew and swallow them. And it worked!! He didn't need to go to the doctor. Sambung Nyawa leaf also cured my neighbor who had a diarrhea.  And it also worked to my son and I will tell you the detail.

Recently I browse in internet to find my own name, whether it is exist or not, and surprisingly I found so many names, of course including mine. There are lots of people named Mardiningsih, which is I never imagine. Since long time ago when I was a child, I always feel that my name is rather strange. But I am quite confident because it’s similar or even taken from my Dad’s name, Mardiyanto. Beside lots Indonesian names such as Sri Mardiningsih, Endang Mardiningsih, Nining Mardiningsih, Suci Mardiningsih, etc there two interesting Mardiningsih. These two are Mardiningsih Olivia Nowak, which is an actress  and Mardiningsih Arquette, a poet and myth-maker and they aren’t Indonesian.
