This triennial theme (2024-2026) is about rising awareness about the importance of reducing stigma and encouraging people to have open conversations to prevent suicides.

It's been quite long since I listened to easy listening songs and film soundtracks from late 1960s and early 1970s, so nostalgic.
Ini adalah peta Provinsi Sulawesi Utara sebelum tahun 2000. Sebagaimana yang bisa dilihat, luas wilayahnya jauh lebih besar daripada sekarang karena saat itu Gorontalo belum menjadi provinsi sendiri, masih menjadi bagian dari wilayah Provinsi Sulawesi Utara.
Pembagian administratifnya terdiri atas empat kabupaten—Bolaang Mongondow, Limboto, Minahasa, dan Sangihe Talaud—dan tiga kota: Manado dan Gorontalo sebagai kotamadya, dan Bitung sebagai kota administratif. Totalnya ada tujuh daerah tingkat dua. Ibukotanya adalah Manado.
Sejak tahun 2000, Provinsi Gorontalo dibentuk setelah dimekarkan dari Provinsi Sulawesi Utara dengan ibukotanya Gorontalo dan sampai sekarang belum ada pemekaran provinsi baru dari Provinsi Sulawesi Utara (dan memang tidak akan pernah terjadi lagi sampai kapan pun).

Sangat sulit untuk menemukan peta ini, terutama di internet karena sangat sedikit yang mempunyai peta ini dan juga memublikasikannya. Peta ini mempunyai skala 1:2.150.000. Aku memosting ini untuk memberitahu bahwa dulu Gorontalo itu adalah bagian dari wilayah Sulawesi Utara.

I've been highly distracted by these rats in these three few months. I know they are hungry but don't ruin my food and drink.

When will it rain again? I miss the rain, and I also feel sorry for my plants at home that haven't had water for several months.

Makin hari makin benci Manado. Hampir semua orangnya buruk akhlaknya.

Apa sih yang tidak terbakar di Manado setiap hari sekarang ini? Antara senang dan sedih sih. Tapi aku kasihan dengan pak walikota.
Yes, this is literally me. Apparently “I hate chess” and “I want to play another game” can coexist, let's say it's a toxic relationship. I am also still confused as to why I play chess almost every day, whether it's just to win, or to increase my rating, or to think.

Happy International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW), 29 September, 2026. 2026 Theme: "Transformative Potential of Reducing Food Loss and Waste." Reducing food loss and waste helps to protect natural resources and biodiversity, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and maximise the use of food produced.
There is more than enough food produced in the world to feed everyone on the planet, yet around 700 million people are still hungry. Even more sadly, much of the food that has been produced ends up being wasted.

Happy International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW), 29 September, 2026. 2026 Theme: "Transformative Potential of Reducing Food Loss and Waste." Reducing food loss and waste helps to protect natural resources and biodiversity, reduce pollution…
Please be aware that currently there are:
1. An estimated 13% of food produced is lost globally after harvest and prior to reaching retail shelves based on the most recent estimates (FAO, 2019).
2. Recently updated estimates showed that a frightening 19% of food available to consumers – the equivalent of 1.05 billion tonnes – is wasted either by being discarded at retail, in food service settings, or thrown away by households. That’s almost one fifth of all food that reaches the end of the supply chain (UNEP, 2024).
3. Collectively, we waste a lot of food at home. In fact, a staggering 60% of food waste is wasted at the household level, 28% from food service, and 12% from retail (UNEP, 2024).
4. While all this food is being lost and wasted, an estimated one in thirteen people worldwide experienced hunger in 2025, representing between 608 and 696 million people (7.4-8.5 percent of the global population). Moreover, an estimated 2.1 billion people - 25.8 percent of the global population - experienced moderate or severe food insecurity (FAO, 2026).
5. According to the latest estimates, approximately 2.69 billion (32.7 percent) people in the world cannot afford a healthy diet (FAO, 2026). Among the various food groups, fruits and vegetables - a key component of a nutritious diet - experience the highest percentage of losses, further aggravating this global challenge (FAO, 2019).
6. Food loss and waste also contributes to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions (FAOSTAT, 2025), impacting climate change and environmental sustainability. Reducing food loss and waste is therefore a climate solution, which countries and communities can employ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect natural resources (IPCC, 2019).
7. Food that is never eaten uses up 28% of the world’s agricultural land area (FAO, 2013).
8. The global land occupation footprint of food loss and waste, which is the total hectares used to grow food that ends up not being consumed, is about 1.4 billion hectares (FAO, 2013), which is larger than Canada or China.
9. Food loss is also a market failure, representing an estimated annual loss of US$400 billion in food value (FAO, 2019).
10. Food waste results in the throwing away of more than US$1 trillion worth of food every year (UNEP, 2024).

Food loss and waste undermine the sustainability of our food systems. When food is lost or wasted, all the resources that were used to produce this food - including water, land, energy, labour and capital - go to waste. In addition, the disposal of food loss and waste in landfills, leads to greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change.
Food loss and waste can also negatively impact food security and food availability, and contribute to increasing the cost of food. Every action taken to reduce food loss and food waste matters. I personally have been doing this since I was a child, thanks to my family.
All parties must be aware of this: consumers, civil society, businesses, academia, and governments. Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) are the leading agencies for this day.
