SIZ Weekend | Harvesting Rice and Discussions for Steemit Promotion Events and Charity Activities

Hello SIZ friends, I hope you are in good health and blessed.

This is the story of my activities on the weekend in the first week of the holy month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, there is no reason to be lazy at work and do routines on weekends. In fact, doing work in the month of Ramadan is a value of worship that is quite extraordinary.

This weekend, I don't do much activity, half the day from morning to afternoon, I rest. Because at night I have activities and a little busy. So, the morning is the time for me to rest and relax the muscles of the body to be more refreshed.

On the other hand, even so we must keep exercising and body contact with sunlight. During the day I do relaxing exercises and direct contact with the sun. According to science, sunlight can form pro vitamin D which is useful for muscle and bone health.

Meanwhile, exercise can trigger heart rate pumping and lung breathing. Sweating during relaxing exercise is an important part of our body's excretory and metabolic system. Doing a healthy lifestyle and exercising have a good impact on maintaining our immunity and body health.

Towards evening, I saw the garden in front of my yard. In this garden there are several types of plants such as flowers, chili, cassava, sugar cane, bananas, and herbal medicinal plants. We use our yard to grow plants that are beneficial for the survival of our family.

Utilizing the narrow land in the yard of the house into a productive garden so that we can enjoy the results naturally. Because the process of caring for this plant is done naturally and does not use chemical drugs. So we can eat natural vegetables without pesticides and chemicals.

After that, I went to the rice fields to see the rice harvesting. My village is located in a coastal area, where the majority of the population earns financial and food income from the fisheries, marine, agriculture and gardening sectors. Currently entering the rice harvest season.

This afternoon it still looks sunny, so the rice cutter car can still operate until the afternoon. The process of cutting rice is carried out in a modern way, namely by utilizing a rice cutter car. Cutting with this method can save the cutting process and is more efficient than the traditional rice cutting process.

Our region is already developed and has advances in technology that can support the agrarian sector. This rice cutter car operates a full day and can cut rice in tens of rice fields. So, this saves more time for farmers to harvest rice.

If traditional cutting usually takes up to 2 days. However, using a rice cutter car it only takes about 30 minutes for one rice field. In addition to saving more time, modern cutting processes are also very efficient in the amount of costs that must be paid.

Beautiful scenery in the afternoon, white clouds and blue sky that looks so bright reflecting light rays. Meanwhile, several white storks were seen in the rice field area that had been cut into rice and flying in the air. The process of cutting my rice just finished in the afternoon before breaking the fast.

My rice field is about 200 meters from the road, so I use the services of people to transport the rice to the road. The rice that has been filled in 50 kg sacks is transported by the stakeholder to the side of the road. The cost of pangkul rice with a vulnerable distance of about 100-200 meters is 5,000 Rupiah.

After being transported to the road, then the rice sacks are brought home by motorbike. Transportation using a motorbike can carry up to 2 sacks in one trip. This rice is brought home to be stored and then dried in the sun to be processed into rice.

Living in an agricultural area or in the agrarian sector can support our food needs. We can enjoy rice from the rice we grow in our own fields. The agricultural area is very welcoming to the needs of the food defense sector.

All the rice sacks have been transported until it is time to break the fast. I cleaned myself up and enjoyed the iftar meal. Then after finishing the tarawih prayer, I went to the shop to meet my friends.

I'm sitting at @muhajir169's Bang Poji meatball noodle stall along with @pojan and @alvin.steem. We discussed the preparation of the steemit and charity promotional event agenda which we will carry out on April 12. We discussed various agendas, related to funding income as well as the arrangement of events and invited guests.

We sat discussing and exchanging opinions to find a conclusion for the implementation of the event. We have also coordinated and collaborated with various parties in organizing the event. We hope the event will be as successful and smooth as we hoped it would be.

Until midnight, I went to Bayu town to buy food. I stopped at one of the stalls on the edge of the national highway. I bought fried rice and enjoyed it at the stall.

After that I sat down with them again until the time of dawn. After eating sahur, I quickly cleaned myself up and waited for dawn. That's the routine I did this weekend.

Thank you for reading and supporting my post. Hopefully you can take lessons from what I have shared in this community. Good luck to all of us.

Best regard,
