Each Year I Fall In Love Again With You
by joanna fuchs

When I first met you 4 years ago,
I fell in love so fast, I knew right then,
You were the one and only one for me;
I'd never have to look for love again.

Each anniversary finds us happier;
You are my light--my moon, my star, my sun.
You show me what real love is all about,
You fill my life with pleasure, joy and fun.

As time goes by, our love grows stronger still.
You're the most amazing man I ever knew.
I prize our anniversaries because
Each year I fall in love again with you.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY NDUTKU.... I LOVE YOU...

Missing someone isn’t about how long it’s been since you’ve seen them last or the amount of time since you last talked – it’s about every moment when you’re doing something and you wish that they were right there with you.

I MISS YOU NDUT !!!

Congratulation Mr. Barrack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America!!!!

As he claimed victory Tuesday (Nov 4th 2008) night, Obama told supporters, "change has come to America."

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -- we as a people will get there," Obama said in Chicago before an estimated crowd of up to 240,000 people.

With Obama's win, he becomes the first African-American to win the White House.

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
• They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a god send and they are.
• They are there for the reason you need them to be.
• Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
• Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
• Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
• What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
• The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
• They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
• They may teach you something you have never done.
• They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
• Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
• Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
• It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

INVESTMENT 101

If you had purchased $1,000 of Lehman Bros. stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.

With Wachovia, you would have $16.50 left.

With AIG, you would have less than $5 left.

But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg plan.

CRISIS ON WORLD’S STAGE

Since the mid-September collapse of Lehman Brothers sparked the latest chaos in the financial markets, world leaders, warning of a global economic downturn, pledged Saturday (Oct 11, 2008) to work together to find solutions to what is unfolding as the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

The Dow ended its worst week ever Friday (Oct 10, 2008) and capped a staggering eight-session sell off that has seen the blue-chip index fall 2,400 points. Wall Street lost roughly $2.4 trillion in market value during the week. Stocks have plunged despite a series of efforts on the part of the government to unfreeze the credit markets and get money flowing through the system again.

In recent weeks, financial market turmoil intensified throughout the world and credit markets froze, causing a chain reaction resulting in non-financial companies experiencing difficulty in financing normal business operations.

We’d better ready for the worst……………….

Wow….

Over the past two weeks, officials have intervened on behalf of three giant financial firms - mortgage financiers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and insurer AIG.

Meanwhile, in a nod to so-called moral hazard - the notion that bailouts only lead to greater risk-taking by those who think they'll be saved - the government let brokerage firm Lehman Brothers collapse on September 15th 2008, leaving its investors with heavy losses.

Officials point to Lehman and the near wipeout of shareholders at Fannie, Freddie and AIG as evidence that the government won't write investors a blank check.

By today, September 18th 2008, Morgan Stanley and Paulson's Alma mater, Goldman Sachs Wall Street's two remaining independent investment banks struggling to raise the money they need to muddle through the credit crunch. Morgan fell as much as 38% to a 52-week low and Goldman slid 25%, dropping below $100 a share for the first time in three years. The falling share prices are more than a spectacle: If investors lack confidence and financial firms can't raise cash, lending to businesses and consumers could further decline, dealing another blow to an already weak economy.

What's followed has been a free fall in shares across the financial sector - first at Lehman but subsequently at AIG and Washington Mutual and lately at Goldman and Morgan Stanley - that has had the effect of preventing these companies from raising new equity.

Though neither Goldman nor Morgan Stanley has shown signs of the decline visible at Lehman or AIG, it's also true that six months ago few thought Lehman, with liberal access to government loan facilities, would follow in the footsteps of Bear Stearns.

Friend, Friendship and Friendster

What’s the connection between those things?
Me myself don’t know either…

All I want to say here that if someone whom you could call a close-one can be a totally different person who doesn’t know you absofuckinglutely at all….

Isn’t it sad?
Where did the times, that you’ve been share, go?
Where did the memories go?
As if they don’t have anything at all to remember and it just totally gone and *bleep* …. nothing left.

Well… at least now I know that nothing last forever…
I just feel that I’ve been wasting my time to know that kindda person…

2007-02-28T17:39:00.001-06:00

Instead of counting candles,
or tallying the years,
contemplate my blessings,
as my birthday nears.

Consider special people
who love me, and who care,
and others who’ve enriched my life
just by being there.

Think about the memories
passing years can never harm,
experiences great and small
that have made me who I am.

Another year is a happy gift,
so I'm goint to cut my cake, and say;
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"

2007-02-26T20:01:00.000-06:00

.....

Sometimes people disappoint us, but when it comes from your own blood, its even feel worse.

Finally after all these years, I found out that you’re totally a stranger for me. Thank GOD for that! So I don’t need to bother you anymore.

Yippiiiee !!!!

Emang dimana2 orang cina tuh minta DIGAMPARIN yah

Ini bukan masalah rasis or whatsoever... tapi emang begitu lah kenyataan nya... dari 10 orang cina di sekliling gw, cuma 1 orang doang yg asik & cocok personality nya ama gw... sisanya yg 9 orang lagi pasti ancur...

TAi lo smua orang CINA !!!

Emang susah kalo dimana2 selalu ga pernah dianggap! misalnya: elo orang keturunan cina lahir di Indonesia... di Indonesia sendiri lo gak dianggap orang Indonesia, di China sendiri lo gak akan dianggap orang cina... so go figure!!

Kata siapa kalo lagi SNOW itu enak ?!! [nada bete]

I could say 10 things I HATE when its SNOW:

1. Sebelum snownya turun, pasti temperatur udara tuh super duper dingin banget amit2 jabang beibeh... brrrr

2. Pas udah snow turun... yg pasti jalanan itu licin alias slippery

3. Trus jalanan basah, kalo gw pergi ngantor pake celana panjang, udah pasti bagian bawah celana tuh kotor2 bikin bete!! Gw mo ngantor apa abis pulang dr mancing di comberan sih... grrr

4. Harus pergi extra awal, karena dimana2 pasti macet... mo naek kereta, mo naek mobil, mo naek sepeda, mo naik getek !! semuanya macet a.k.a. traffic jam! soalnya semua pada pelan2... nah kalo yg model kayak gw ini berangkat nya TEPAT WAKTU, tepat bangun, tepat mandi, tepat smua... rada susah buat bangun lebih cepat... dan berangkat lebih cepat dari my REGULAR SCHEDULE... karena waktu tidur adalah waktu yg paling berharga yg tidak boleh dikurangin2 dengan alasan apapun juga... hahaha

5. Kalo saljunya udah turun semaleman suntuk, yg punya mobil pagi2 tuh pasti bete... kalo cuma bersihin mobil doang dr salju2 yg numpuk sih msh mending [walaupun bete'in juga kalo tiap hari harus gini -- kata RisQ]... tapi kalo harus bersihin path-way nya... tuh nyekop2in salju biar jalanan bersih... EMANG ENAKKKKKKK mo brangkat kerja harus kerja bakti dulu... nyebelin kan

6. Wah baru nomer enam nih .... apalagi yaaa

7. Kalo salju nya udah mengeras [bukan istilah porno loh!] trus gak di bersihin... siap2 kepleset atau ada adegan break-dance di jalanan... gw sih jatuh udah ga keitung... selain gara2 gw sok jago tp juga gw sok asik sih orangnya... [loh?] hahaaaaha

8. Mobil dan semua kendaraan bermotor pasti kotor sekotor2nya, bikin gw sakit mata liatnya... mo dicuci - jalanan msh kotor, mo gak dicuci - masuk mobil kena nyerempet baju dikit lgs kotor... ugh bener2 nyebelin

9. Satu2nya cara kalo mo pergi kerja supaya celana kantor gak kotor, yaitu pake sepatu boot... sepatu boot nya jg ga boleh yg sok imut gitu dengan hak stileto or apa gitu, boro2 !! satu2nya sepatu boot yg bisa dipake lg salju2 gini yaitu sepatu boot yg bentuk nya cuma bisa dipake di outdoor gitu... artinya gw harus bawa sepatu kantor lagi di tas tenteng spy ntar bisa ganti sepatu begitu nyampe kantor... YANG ARTINYA, NAMBAH2IN BAWAAN GW AJA !! secara gw berangkat kantor aja udah berjuang, ini lagi nambah2in tenteng2an sepatu... asli menyebalkan!

10.The last but not least -- salju itu hanya bisa dinikmati ama orang2 yg gak punya aktivitas alias di rumah aja seharian ga kemana2 trus tidurrrrr seharian... makan tidur makan tidur... liat salju turun [so sweet] sambil pelukan ama pacar... bikin gw bete! soalnya gw tiap kali salju pasti harus tetep kerja, kecuali gw alesan "call sick" !!

Yah itu lah... jadi mengertilah penderitaan gw kalo lagi turun salju...

2007-01-26T20:52:00.000-06:00

Wiiih gila ajaaa...

Thn 2007 udah mo mo masuk bulan February ajeh! yg arti nya.... selain gw udah lama banget ga pernah update blog, trus bentar lagi gw bakalan ultah !! horeeeeeeeeeee

OK deh, mari kita mulai--

Acara malem thn baru kemaren kurang seru... too flat !! nothing really special malah... gitu doang masa?! hehehe kasian amat yah... tapi yg pasti pas jam 00:00 teng teng teng, gw lg di dlm perjalanan ama Risky jemput salah satu temennya Risky yg somehow pinter banget dateng ke Chicago malem thn baru gitu... jadi berdoa ngucap syukurnya kudu berhenti bentaran di pinggiran jalan... sadis gak tuh?!

Trus tgl 12-15 January kemaren, pergi jalan2 ke kota San Francisco ama Risky (dia lagi dia lagi... hehehe) nyamperin K'Suz & B'Bon ... gileeeee penuh perjuangan banget mo ke SF doang... pas mo berangkat, flight nya di cancelled due to bad weather (ice storm)... KUPRET !!! gw super betenya gara2 hari itu gw udah bangun super pagi spy bisa masuk kantor pagi-an krn gw mau pulang cepetan spy gak telat ke airport... ngebayang dong?! udah ngebela2in gitu, eh gak taunya di cancelled aja gitu... huh !!! terpaksa hrs pulang ke apartment lagi, trus harus bangun pagi2 lagi besok-an nya... krn flight nya jam 7 pagi... emang deh bener2

Tp worth-it lah perjalanan ke SF kemaren... walaupun jadi bokek gara2 shopping (uang tuh gampang banget buat di spend yah?! monyet!) tapi perjalanan kemaren bener2 super duper menyenangkan... selain K'Suz & B'Bon yg super duper baik.... the city is pretty ... the food is fabulous... the athmosphere was unbelievable !!

Foto2 penting berhasil di abadikan tentu nya!! Golden Gate Bridge, Fishermans Wharf, China-Town, Italian-Town, Boys-Town, Lombard Street, etc etc ... ampe ke San Jose, Sillicon Valley juga loh... mayaaaaaaaann

Tapi akibat perjalanan yg pendek & super padat itu, balik2 ke Chicago gw & Risky lgs sakit flu berat.... batuk, pilek dkk dateng menyerang kita berdua... pantek! hahahaha

Anyway, skrg sih udah mendingan, msh pilek dikitttttt tapi udah ga separah minggu lalu... abisan udara di Chicago makin sinting segila2nya.... tiap hari tuh weather nya -5 C aja !!! plus angin yg bisa bantuin lo jalan jd lebih cepet (kalo angin nya dateng dr arah blakang) ... kalo dari arah depan... alhasil lo gak akan bisa jalan... yg ada malah sesek napas gak kira2... hahahaha

Speaking about cold weather... ini gw tinggal di Chicago bertahun2... tetep aja gw kok gak kapok2 yah ama udara dingin... kapok sih kapooookk, tapi yah mo gimaneee.... hidup ku udah disini.... (ceileh!) ... the worst weather of the year tuh emang bulan January kok... kali ini winter nya rada jarang snow, cuma pas kemaren dateng snow... kaga kira2 turun nya kaya lagi ngamuk gituh...

Been in NY, Live in Chicago, Went to SF ... i think those are the most beatiful cities for me, at least for my own pleasure! Buat temen2 yg pengen jalan2 ke USA, mendingan pilih salah satu kota utk jd tujuan utama kalian yg td gw sebutin deh... Percayalah ama gw! hahahaaaa

Are you 30, unmarried and happy?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!!!!!
More couples than ever are waiting to tie the knot….

This is not just about how marriage has change, it’s about how society has changed as a whole. Also the concept of marriage itself has changed.

Marriage long time ago moved from this legal commitment built around having children to a state where people wait for the right person and may even wait longer to start families.

People are really looking for a life partner who they really love, feel good about and want to have a nice life with.

When you are 20’s, you really shouldn’t be thinking about marriage !! date recreationally, kiss a lot of frogs and enjoy yourself….

It is more important to know what you are looking for beyond he has nice smiles and excellent appearance. You should know how your partner feels about having children, about spiritually, about finances. You don’t want to waste your time with someone and not learn these things about them. And proceed with caution. Never settle for less than you deserve.

You have to be willing to wait for the right person.

(redeye)

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving everyone...

I know, we don't really celebrate this thanksgiving thingy. But then... hey you live here, you need to go with the flow, right?

American people are so in to Thanksgiving... at my work, everybody can leave early on Wednesday at 2pm... and got a paid-holiday for thursday & friday... isn't it great???

Thursday, they will get together with all their family... people are travel to their parent's house and will have turkey for their dinner.... the spirit really made me home-sick for a lil'while... *sniff*

One of my co-worker asked me, "Are you going home too ?" .... and I answered her with "hmm if I don't need to pay $1500 for a round trip ticket, and I don't need to fly for about 24 hours, for sure I'll go back home" hehehehe dammmnn....

Friday, people here usually call it "black friday" I don't know why... it means all family will go shopping early in the morning.... I would say "really realllyyyy early in the morning" .... Best-Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Target, Outlet Malls they open 5 am (some are open mid-night) and they sell cheap-stuff... laptop for $350, 30" flat screen TV for like $150, etc etc ... Then people have to take a line before the stores are open... I tried a couple times to wake up early in the morning, and join the crowd hunt for cheap stuffs... but, again, I think I was not born to buy cheap-stuff... hahahaha

I really enjoy my long weekend holiday this week... eventhough a couple times I woke up 7am and thought I was late to go to work hehehe and when I realized I slept again... huhhmmm heavennnnsss

Now, it's sunday... I gotta prepare myself that I gotta back to my reality-world within 24 hrs from now...

2006-09-30T22:39:00.000-05:00

Daammmmnn

Its been long time.... tsk... here we go... I wanna share some stories....

I've been busy with my new job, at Vanco. My very enjoyable job ever!! Great big boss, great small boss, great environment, great atmosphere, great co-worker, great office…. (Keep prays for the blessed)… Even though every-single-morning I've to wake up quite early to take my-ass to go to work... not to mention I need to find a fantastic way to prevent my sleepiness at work…. Hey… I got it very bad man… I’ve got lotsa works every-single-day, but I’ve no idea why I always sleepy. I’ve my chai-tea-latte or white-mocha every morning… I’ve my new 30GB iPod Video all the time. Not to mention I’ve my friends ready for my phone call in-case-of emergency…. (I need to TALK to someone if its really really bad…)

Also I've got my twelve-years-best-friend came for the last two weeks from out-of-state. So even though I wasn’t that busy with tour-guiding-thingy, of course, there always issues to discuss, to share, to laugh-at, to cries-out, to angry-with, every-single-issue need to discuss deeply… hehehehee

Bought a new incredible thing from Apple’s Store at downtown. Thing that I’ve been say-bad-thing-about-people-who-has-it. And of course, it made me debating for weeks before I finally decided to buy it.

Made a new-mailing-list for me and my crazy-cool buddies from Jakarta…. Friends I had share my days with long time ago…. Share the craziness, the laughter, the everything lah…. And yet…. They all still the same even though some of em alrdy married, and some of em still remain the same…. Meaning… single forever… huahauhauahuah cute huh

Last thing,
I’ve missed my mom badly lately….

Status: In Relationship?

Nah...
Ini dia topik yg lg hangat2nya pengen gw bahas....

Kalo cewe statusnya single... pasti pengen banget punya pacar.... yg ganteng, yg keren, yg cakep, yg pinter dan yg paling penting yg TAJIRRRRRRRR hehhehehe .... ya gak???

Nah trus...
Abis punya pacar.... kan seneng tuh yah... seneng soalnya ada yg nemenin kemana2 (a.k.a. supir)... ada yg bayar2in kalo pergi2/makan2/blanja2 (a.k.a. cewe matre!).... ada yg bantuin ngangkat2 barang (a.k.a. kuli bangungan kaliiii)....

Kalo ada pacar... pasti everyday is a beautiful day (most likely) .... --nah ini dia nih dimulai-- .... trus jd lupa ama keadaan sekitar & sekliling .... lupa ama homeworks, lupa ama ini itu dr yg hal2 kecil ampe hal2 besar soalnya maunya berduaan mulu, trus yg paling parah... lupa ama temen2 !!!!

Nah ini diaaaaa nih yg gw mo bahas.... :)))
Gw sendiri pernah punya pengalaman pribadi ampe kehilangan salah satu sahabat gw (back then when we're all best friends from High School) gara2 dia punya pacar baru.... Selain ex-sohib gw ini jg dodol.... cowonya jg bangke !! (loh kok gw jd ngedumel hehehheheeeee)

Gw ngerti banget kok gimana rasanya yg lg jatuh cinta... (been there! and enjoyed it so much)... Gw jg tau banget yg namanya baru2 pacaran tuh pasti maunya kemana2 berduaaaaaaa terus.... kalo perlu ke kamar mandi jg berdua... (loh?!) trus kalo yg namanya baru2 pacaran pasti sehari gak ketemu si doi pasti lgs kumat2 deh ... kumat bete, kumat ngambek, kumat cari2 perhatian... padahal kan cuma gara2 rindu aja gak ketemu sehari... (cieee *gubrak*) ... ngerti deh pokokknyaa ama yg lg anget2nya tai ayam :P

Anyhoo....
Gw cuma mo bilang aja.... cari pacar yg OK tuh susah.... tp lebih susah lagi cari temen2 yg baik....

Buat yg lagi baru punya pacar trus lupa ama temen2 baik nya... tolong laah.... lo jg gak cakep2 banget dpt cowo kaya gitu.... biasa aja dong !!!

SUKSES

Jalan menuju sukses TIDAK lurus

Ada tikungan yang bernama kegagalan

Bunderan yang bernama kebingungan

Tanjakan yang bernama teman

Lampu merah yang bernama musuh

Lampu kuning yang bernama keluarga

Engkau akan mengalami ban kempes bernama pekerjaan

TETAPI BILA engkau memiliki ban serep bernama niat yang teguh dan mesin yang bernama ketekunan

Asuransi yang bernama iman

Pengemudi bernama YESUS

Engkau akan sampai ke tempat bernama SUKSES

Before you died... you MUST see the New York City Skyline

How smart is your right foot?

This is funny (laughed myself silly) and it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can out smart your foot but you can't............... & mind control does NOT work either!!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clock wise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction......................

I told you so ..... And there's nothing you can do about it!!

Ibu Guru menyuruh tiap-tiap muridnya membawa kantong plastik transparan 1 buah dan kentang. Masing-masing kentang tersebut diberi nama berdasarkan nama orang yang dibenci, sehingga jumlah kentangnya tidak ditentukan berapa ...tergantung jumlah orang-orang yang dibenci.

Pada hari yang disepakati masing-masing murid membawa kentang dalam kantong plastik. Ada yang berjumlah 2, ada yang 3 bahkan ada yang 5. Seperti perintah guru mereka tiap-tiap kentang diberi nama sesuai nama orang yang dibenci. Murid-murid harus membawa kantong plastik berisi kentang tersebut kemana saja mereka pergi, bahkan ke toilet sekalipun, selama 1 minggu.

Hari berganti hari, kentang-kentang pun mulai membusuk, murid-murid mulai mengeluh, apalagi yang membawa 5 buah kentang, selain berat baunya juga tidak sedap. Setelah 1 minggu murid-murid TK tersebut merasa lega karena penderitaan mereka akan segera berakhir.

Ibu Guru : "Bagaimana rasanya membawa kentang selama 1 minggu ?"

Keluarlah keluhan dari murid-murid TK tersebut, pada umumnya mereka tidak merasa nyaman harus membawa kentang-kentang busuk tersebut ke manapun mereka pergi.

Guru pun menjelaskan apa arti dari "permainan" yang mereka lakukan.

Ibu Guru : "Seperti itulah kebencian yang selalu kita bawa-bawa apabila kita tidak bisa memaafkan oranglain. Sungguh sangat tidak menyenangkan membawakentang busuk kemana pun kita pergi. Itu hanya 1 minggu. Bagaimana jika kita membawa kebencian itu seumur hidup ? Alangkah tidak nyamannya ..."

"KEBENCIAN MENIMBULKAN PERTENGKARAN, TETAPI KASIH MENUTUPI SEGALA PELANGGARAN". [Amsal 10:12]

STORY ABOUT THEM....

There was a story about a family who lives happy, caring, loving, indeed has day-to-day problems like regular family.

The father loves the mother so much. He's kind of a family man thing ever. The mother is a very fun person alive. She likes to cook and always has a funny story to tell people. The 1st child, big sister, is always being the spoiled-brat, but loveable one. The 2nd child, lil sister, is always being the smart-ass, mature and straight-to-the-point one. The 3rd child, youngest brother, is always being the heartbroken and mommy's baby.

When they're all around together.... [sometimes] it just hard for them to enjoy the moment. But when they're all separated.... they missed each other so much.

Father always wants to be the hero. Mother always wants to be the queen. Big sister always wants to be the peacemaker. Lil sister always wants to be the judge. Youngest brother wants to be the pain in the ass.

Money is the big issue in the family. Money is the big thing that almost makes them tear-apart. Lotsa money makes problems. Lil money also makes problems. No money of course problems....... [sigh]

That's the story about the family.

Pisces Woman:

She tends to love the weakest of her offspring more than the rest

to be honest... I really don't want to describe those thing for you... but I just want you guys feel what I'm afraid of.... hehehehhe (Imma nice ain't I ?)

HATIKU PERCAYA
by: TrueWorshipper - Maranatha

Tuhanlah kekuatan dan mazmurku
Dia gunung batu dan keselamatanku
Hanya pada-Mu hatiku percaya
Kaulah menara dan kota perlindungan
Kumau slalu bersyukur
Sbab cinta-Mu padaku
Takkan pernah berubah hatiku percaya
Walau bumi berguncang
Gunung-gunung beranjak
Namun kasih setia-Mu
Tak pergi dariku

Fasting and Praying for 40 days 40 nights

It was started last year, when I introduced with "Fasting and Praying for 40 days and 40 nights".

What is FASTING?
--Fasting means humbling ourelves before God and telling Him that we deny our flesh to seek Him instead. As a spiritual descipline, fasting is an act of not eating and drinking to focus ourselves on God and giving spiritual food to our spirit and flesh.

How should I PRAY?
--Remember to pray with a clean heart. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective (James 5:16). Pray with a compassionate heart, like Christ Jesus who has a heart fill of compassion towards those who need Him (Mat 9:36). Pray with perseverance. God listens to those who pray earnestly (Act 12:5, James 5:17).

The reason for to fast (same like last year), I've so many things to ask from God. And also, I'm doing this to pray for my country, INDONESIA, that has so many problems to solve. The bombing, the economics, the gas price and there are so many things to pray.

So, I encourage you all my friends, let's pray together for our nation. Despite the difference between us, forget about it, one thing that we have to focus on now is for our country.

BUAT disimak bersama

Diskusi mengenai larangan mengucapkan selamat hari natal masih rame di sini tapi saya melihat fenomena itu cuma bongkahan gunung es.

Kalau saya perhatikan, kita makin lama makin jauh dari Ke-Indonesia- an. Sesama warga sebangsa sekarang sudah sulit untuk saling mengucapkan selamat. Kata-kata yang dari dulu sudah familiar di telinga kita diganti dengan kata yang asing. Misalnya, hari "Minggu" diganti "Ahad". Dulu kata "Ahad" ini cuma tertulis di kalender harian yang memang mencantumkan penanggalan berbagai versi, termasuk Cina dan Arab. Kata "ulang tahun" diganti "milad". "Hati Nurani" menjadi "Qolbu". Ada lagi yang bilang, kata "sembahyang" tidak boleh digunakan karena asal katanya adalah "sembah hyang". Warga Kristen Kampung Sawah yang biasa memakai peci dan baju koko ketika beribadah dipersoalkan. Terpilihnya Bupati Belitung Timur yang keturunan Cina disesali. Belum lagi soal perusakan tempat ibadah

Ada pula perubahan dalam hal pemberian nama kepada anak. Dulu di Jawa umumnya anak diberi nama yang khas Jawa, misalnya Danardono, Suwarni, Bagaskoro, Sekar, dsb. Sekarang nama-nama Jawa makin menghilang, diganti dengan nama-nama seperti Rizki, Salsabila,
Saskia, dsb. Jadi, kalau dulu yang bernama Sugeng ada yang Kristen, Islam, atau Budha. Sekarang dari nama seseorang kita tahu ..oh itu Islam... itu Kristen.

Fenomena yang unik lagi, sekarang banyak perumahan yang mengggunakan identitas/klaim islami padahal hampir di setiap perumahan sudah ada mesjid yang dibangun oleh developer. Di Jakarta, ada lagi taksi "Muslim". Entah ini untuk identitas keislaman atau kebetulan pemiliknya bernama Muslim.

Bukan maksud beta mengusik hak asasi orang untuk menggunakan kata, memberi nama, atau membangun rumah tapi kok semakin lama kita semakin terpisah. Mirip dengan hidup bertetangga. Setelah belasan tahun tinggal bersebelahan dengan rukun, hari demi hari saya
menambahkan bata demi bata di dinding pemisah rumah dengan tetangga. Suatu saat, cucu saya tidak kenal lagi dengan cucu tetangga sebelah rumah

Mengapa kita jadi begini ? Sampai kapan kita bisa merayakan 17
Agustus bersama-sama ...?

Rahasia Umur SAPI, MONYET, ANJING dan MANUSIA

Di awal zaman, Tuhan menciptakan seekor sapi. Beliau berkata kepada sang sapi "Hari ini kuciptakan kau! Sebagai sapi engkau harus pergi ke padang rumput. Kau harus bekerja di bawah terik matahari sepanjang hari. Kutetapkan umurmu sekitar 50 tahun." Sang Sapi keberatan "Kehidupanku akan sangat berat selama 50 tahun. Kiranya 20 tahun cukuplah buatku. Kukembalikan kepadamu yang 30 tahun." Maka setujulah Tuhan.

Di hari kedua, Tuhan menciptakan monyet. "Hai monyet, hiburlah manusia. Aku berikan kau umur 20 tahun!" Sang monyet menjawab "What? Menghibur mereka dan membuat mereka tertawa? 10 tahun cukuplah. Kukembalikan 10 tahun padamu" Maka setujulah Tuhan.

Di hari ketiga, Tuhan menciptakan anjing. "Apa yang harus kau lakukan adalah menjaga pintu rumah majikanmu. Setiap orang mendekat kau harus menggongongnya. Untuk itu kuberikan hidupmu selama 20 tahun!" Sang anjing menolak : "Menjaga pintu sepanjang hari selama 20 tahun ? No way.! Kukembalikan 10 tahun padamu". Maka setujulah Tuhan.

Di hari keempat, Tuhan menciptakan manusia. Sabda Tuhan: "Tugasmu adalah makan, tidur, dan bersenang-senang. Inilah kehidupan. Kau akan menikmatinya. Akan kuberikan engkau umur sepanjang 25 tahun!" Sang manusia keberatan, katanya "Menikmati kehidupan selama 25 tahun? Itu terlalu pendek Tuhan. Let's make a deal. Karena sapi mengembalikan 30 tahun usianya, lalu anjing mengembalikan 10 tahun, dan monyet mengembalikan 10 tahun usianya padamu, berikanlah semuanya itu padaku. Semua itu akan menambah masa hidupku menjadi 75 tahun. Setuju ?" Maka setujulah Tuhan.

AKIBATNYA..............................

Pada 25 tahun pertama kehidupan sebagai manusia dijalankan (kita makan, tidur dan bersenang-senang) 30 tahun berikutnya menjalankan kehidupan layaknya seekor sapi (kita harus bekerja keras sepanjang hari untuk menopang keluarga kita). 10 tahun kemudian kita menghibur dan membuat cucu kita tertawa dengan berperan sebagai monyet yang menghibur. Dan 10 tahun berikutnya kita tinggal dirumah, duduk didepan pintu, dan menggonggong kepada orang yang lewat......

Received a cute forwarded email from a cousin... which is quite funny and amusing for me, hopefully it works for you too.... Here we go....

Memberikan nama untuk anak itu susah-susah gampang. Salah-salah nama bisa jadi beban buat si Anak. Maka hati-hatilah dalam memberikan nama untuk anak tersayang. Karena nama akan disandang seumur hidupnya.

1. Nama itu mengandung doa.
Nama anak itu cermin harapan orang tua. Nama itu mengandung Doa.Tetapi doanya yang singkat-singkat saja. Kalau terlalu panjang nanti dikira lagi bernazar atau berkomitmen sama Tuhan. Kalau dipanggil bukannya nengok, malah bilang "Amiinn.."

2. Nama jangan nyusahin orang Kelurahan
Nama anak mudah dibaca dan mudah ditulis. Meskipun tampaknya bagus,jangan pakai huruf mati yang digandeng-gandeng atau didobel-dobel (mis: Lloyd, Nikky, Thasya dll). Biasanya sama petugas Kelurahan akan terjadi salah tulis dalam pembuatan Akta Kelahiran, Kartu Keluarga, KTP dll. Nah... nggak enaknya lagi kalo kita minta revisi biasanya kena biaya lagi... dan prosesnya lama lagi.

3. Nama jangan cuma satu kata
Minimal ada First Name, Nick Name dan Family name gitu loh.... Ini penting terutama kalo pas lagi ngurus Paspor atau Visa. Nggak jadi berangkat ke Amrik hanya gara-gara namanya cuma Prakoso atau Pamuji atau Paryono khan kesiaan...

4. Nama jangan terlalu panjang
Nama yang panjang bererot bisa bikin susah si pemilik nama. Disamping susah ngingetnya, juga ngerepotin waktu ngisi formulir pendaftaran masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri (dulu UMPTN). Itu lho.. yang ngitemin buletan-buletan pakai pensil 2B. Capeek khaan... Nama panjang seperti Siti Hartati Riwayati Mulianingsih Adiningrum Mekar Berseri Sepanjang Hari.... adalah sangat-sangat not-recommended.

5. Nama anak bersifat internasional
Anak kita hidup dimasa depan, di era globalisasi dimana hubungan dengan dunia internasional amat sangat intens. Jadi jangan mempersulit anak dengan nama-nama yang sulit di-eja. Nama Saklitinov misalnya orang Jepang nyebutnya Sakuritino, orang Sunda bilang Aktinop orang Amrik bilang Sechlaytinove... Syusah khaaannn Padahal maksudnya Sabtu Kliwon Tiga November...

6. Ketahuilah arti nama anak
Ketahuilah arti nama anak. Jangan memberikan nama hanya karena enak diucapkan atau bagus ditulisnya. Nama Jalmowono memang sepintas enak diucapkan dan bagus kalo ditulis tetapi ketahuilah bahwa Jalmowono itu artinya Orang Utan.

7. Jangan pakai nama artis.
Nama artis memang bagus-bagus, cuma masalahnya kalau artis itu kelakuannya baik... lha kalau jadi bahan gosip melulu khan jadi beban juga buat si anak. Lagian pakai nama artis itu tandanya anda gak kreatif dalam bikin nama.

8. Abjad huruf pertama nama anak.
Huruf pertama "A" pada nama anak ada enak gak enaknya. Gak enaknya kalau pas ada ujian/test/wawancara sering dipanggil duluan. Gak sempet nanya-nanya ama temannya. Tapi kadang-kadang juga pas giliran dapat pembagian apa gitu, dapetnya juga sering duluan. Sebaiknya ambil huruf pertama itu antara D sampai K. Cukupan lah... Huruf depan Z... wah.. biasanya adanya dibawah...

9. Jangan sok Kebarat-baratan
Jangan memberi nama anak dengan bergaya kebarat-baratan, biar dibilang keren. Kudu diinget, anda lahir dibumi Indonesia, orang Indonesia, kultur ya tetap orang Indonesia. Kalau nama keindo-indoan, tapi mukanya ya melayu-melayu juga, malu sendiri kan, anaknya ya ortunya.. Lagian kalo kejepit toh bilangnya "adawww...." bukan "Oh my God.."

2005-06-13T19:44:00.000-05:00

Gue kalo lagi kesel ama seseorang... satu dunia kayaknya salah aja di mata gua.... mo tuh orang maksudnya baek... or maksudnya emang jahat... or whatever it is... rasanya gue udah pengen bunuh... cincang kecil2... trus gue mo timpuk pake batako.... udah gitu kalo perlu sih di rebus idup2 biar berasa sakit nya....

Namanya jg lg esmosi .... boleh dong pengen yg macem2 yg jelek2.... ya gak?!! tp itu kan hanya kepengen-an nya doang... ujung2nya jg hanya masalah waktu aja.... di diyemin dikit or di "iya iya iya" in juga adem sendiri kok...

Emang gue sadar kalo gue tuh hanya butuh pelampiasan uneg2 aja... for some people that don't know me well... they will get insult 'coz they thought I'm intentionally angry to them by no reason at all... but actually... I'm just an angry dragon that need a place to release my anger....

So... will you forgive me for my bad attitude?

MOURNING FOR POPE

As we know that the Pope John Paul II passed away last saturday at 9:34am all faithful from all over the world remember the leader of the Catholic church in the days immediately after his death.

Tens of thousands waited in line for five hours, many overnight, to say a personal farewell to the pontiff, as the College of Cardinals met for a second day but hadn't yet decided on a date for the conclave to elect the pope’s successor.

The pope will be buried in the lower level of St. Peter - Basilica.

"Getting Older"

You know you're getting old when....

Everything hurts; and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
You feel like the morning after and you haven't been anywhere.

Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
Your children begin to look middle aged.
You finally reach the top of the ladder and find it leaning against the wrong wall.

Your mind makes contracts that your body can't meet.
You look forward to a dull evening.
Your favorite part of the newspaper is "20 years ago today."

You turn out the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle and your belt won't.

You regret all those mistakes you made resisting temptation.
You're 17 around the neck, 42 around the waist, and 106 around the golf course.
Your back goes out more than you do.

A fortune teller offers to read your face.
Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you see a pretty girl.
The little old gray haired lady you help across the street is your wife.

You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.
You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.
You know all the answers but nobody asks you the questions.

Dont lose 90% that you already have ....

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. "Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not."

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive.
More alluring.
More thoughtful.
Richer.
Have greater sex appeal.
And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.

Because no wife or husband is perfect.

Because a spouse will only have 90% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 10%.

Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laughter.

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pyjamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt.

Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 10% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 90% that you already have! Add to your spouse's 90% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other.

The storms you have weathered together.
The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple.
The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.
But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.
But I'm not just talking about marriage. I'm talking about life!
About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.
Are you like the economy airline

The main message:
If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are is
FIRST CLASS!

WHAT WOMEN HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT MEN!!

We always hear the rules from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male. These are our rules: (Please note... these are all numbered 1 ON PURPOSE!)

1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Dont try to change that.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. Youre a big girl. If its up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You dont hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Saturday = sports. Its like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. Thats what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you think youre fat, you probably are. Dont ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say nothing, we will act like nothings wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you dont want an answer to, expect an answer you dont want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Dont ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Sex, Sport, or Cars.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really dont mind that, its like camping.

hihihihih isn't it hilarrious?? I got those things above from my buddy's bullentin board thru friendster... and I think a-smart-funny-intelligent woman should laugh-out-loud when they read about those things... HAHAHAHAHA

Gong Xi Fa Chai

The Dragon personality The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. A symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Oriental Dragon is regarded as a divine beast - the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to find and slay. In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority. Therefore, those people born in Dragon years are to be honored and respected.

THE SIGN OF THE DRAGON

The key to the Dragon personality is that Dragons are the free spirits of the Zodiac. Conformation is a Dragon's curse. Rules and regulations are made for other people. Restrictions blow out the creative spark that is ready to flame into life. Dragons must be free and uninhibited. The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale - big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful. Dragons usually make it to the top. However, Dragon people be aware of their natures. Too much enthusiasm can leave them tired and unfulfilled. Even though they are willing to aid when necessary, their pride can often impede them from accepting the same kind of help from others. Dragons' generous personalities give them the ability to attract friends, but they can be rather solitary people at heart. A Dragon's self-sufficiency can mean that he or she has no need for close bonds with other people.

THE FIRE DRAGON 1916 AND 1976

The Fire Dragon is a powerful force to be reckoned with. This is a Dragon doubled! The Fire Dragon can move from calm and collected to combustible in a matter of seconds. In some ways the Fire Dragon is his or her own worst enemy. These Dragons cannot help feeling they are valuable and all-knowing. When they are right their vehemence and vigor is an asset to the cause, and though they value objectivity, they do not always employ the best decision-making measures, and sometimes jump to the wrong conclusion. They also suffer from recklessness and quick tempers. Yet, when they do keep their temper, emotions, and rivaling spirit under control, they emanate a commanding influence on other people.

2005-02-07T14:42:00.000-06:00

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt --- (Madonna--O'Magazine, January 2004).

Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.

Have a nice dinner with Risky at Grand Lux Cafe... It seems that we had a-very-early Valentine's Candle Lite Dinner... 'coz since the Valentine's day itself will be on Monday, so we might-could-maybe-dunnoityet not have "the candle lite dinner" for unconditional circumstances *sigh*

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY in advance guys.... :=)

I wanna share my story that happened last weekend.... *ehem*

It was such a tired weekend... I went to Risky's place on Thursday and ready to spend the whole weekend with him... and on saturday night (around 7PM) we rushed back to Chicago in terms of celebrating my cousin's bday ...

There was a snow blizzard that night... I drove Risky's car... it was 45mph... the road was so snowy & icy with zero visibility.... and since I aint an expert driving a car on that road... I betcha know what happened huh? The car... which was on the very left lane... spinned around a couple times... and finally stop on the very right lane facing the traffic...

saking panik nya... pas mobilnya muter2... tangan gue ampe ngelepas setir mobil... and Risky yg reflek megang stir mobil dr sisi duduk penumpang.... can you imagine that??!! so scaryy... and then.... after that ... Risky back drove the car... and about 30 mins... the car's engine shut-down.... in the middle of snow blizzard...

pendek cerita... mobilnya di tow ke Mc.Donald terdekat... and then kita hrs nunggu around 30 mins sampe akhirnya tu mobil bisa nyala lagi... trus Risky drive rushed back to Chicago dng kondisi mobil yg udah korslet smua... and finally kita bdua sampe di rmh gue dgn selamat & tak kurang satu apapun... Haleluya...

CINTA & PERNIKAHAN

Satu hari, Plato bertanya pada gurunya, "Apa itu cinta? Bagaimana saya menemukannya?

Gurunya menjawab, "Ada ladang gandum yang luas didepan sana. Berjalanlah kamu dan tanpa boleh mundur kembali, kemudian ambillah satu saja ranting. Jika kamu menemukan ranting
yang kamu anggap paling menakjubkan, artinyakamu telah menemukan cinta".

Plato pun berjalan, dan tidak seberapa lama, dia kembali dengan tangan kosong, tanpa membawa apapun.

Gurunya bertanya, "Mengapa kamu tidak membawa satupun ranting?"

Plato menjawab, "Aku hanya boleh membawa satu saja, dan saat berjalan tidak boleh mundur kembali (berbalik)". Sebenarnya aku telah menemukan yang paling menakjubkan, tapi aku tak tahu apakah ada yang lebih menakjubkan lagi di depan sana, jadi tak kuambil ranting tersebut. Saat kumelanjutkan berjalan lebih jauh lagi, baru kusadari bahwasanya ranting-ranting yang kutemukan kemudian tak sebagus ranting yang tadi, jadi tak kuambil sebatangpun pada akhirnya"

Gurunya kemudian menjawab "Jadi ya itulah cinta"

Di hari yang lain, Plato bertanya lagi pada gurunya, "Apa itu perkawinan? Bagaimana saya bisa menemukannya?"

Gurunya pun menjawab "Ada hutan yang subur didepan saja. Berjalanlah tanpa boleh mundur kembali (menoleh) dan kamu hanya boleh menebang satu pohon saja. Dan tebanglah jika kamu menemukan pohon yang paling tinggi, karena artinya kamu telah menemukan apa itu perkawinan"

Plato pun berjalan, dan tidak seberapa lama, dia kembali dengan membawa pohon. Pohon tersebut bukanlah pohon yang segar subur, dan tidak juga terlalu tinggi. Pohon itu biasa-biasa saja.

Gurunya bertanya, "Mengapa kamu memotong pohon yang seperti itu?"

Plato pun menjawab, "sebab berdasarkan pengalamanku sebelumnya, setelah menjelajah hampir setengah hutan, ternyata aku kembali dengan tangan kosong. Jadi dikesempatan ini, aku lihat pohon ini, dan kurasa tidaklah buruk-buruk amat, jadi kuputuskan untuk menebangnya dan membawanya kesini. Aku tidak mau menghilangkan kesempatan untuk mendapatkannya"

Gurunya pun kemudian menjawab, "Dan ya itulah perkawinan"

CATATAN - KECIL :

Cinta itu semakin dicari, maka semakin tidak ditemukan. Cinta adanya di dalam lubuk hati, ketika dapat menahan keinginan dan harapan yang lebih. Ketika pengharapan dan keinginan yang berlebih akan cinta, maka yang didapat adalah kehampaan... tiada sesuatupun yang didapat, dan tidak dapat dimundurkan kembali. Waktu dan masa tidak dapat diputar mundur.
Terimalah cinta apa adanya.

Perkawinan adalah kelanjutan dari Cinta. Adalah proses mendapatkan kesempatan, ketika kamu mencari yang terbaik diantara pilihan yang ada, maka akan mengurangi kesempatan untuk mendapatkannya, Ketika kesempurnaan ingin kau dapatkan, maka sia2lah waktumu dalam mendapatkan perkawinan itu, karena, sebenarnya kesempurnaan itu hampa adanya.

This is what I found from the web:

You need to cut down on stress and stop getting all upset over nothing, CHa! Even if, up until now, you haven't been able to figure out what is really bothering you, today you will understand some of the mysteries of your personality, and understand what it is exactly that causes those chronic mood swings of yours. You'll see that you have nothing to worry about!

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved --by William Jennings Bryan--

LET ME LOVE YOU -- By: Mario Wynans

Baby I just don't get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume, the make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories
You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are ,you stick around and I just don't know why

If I was ya man (baby you)
Never worry bout (what I do)
I'd be coming home (back to you)
Every night, doin' you right
You're the type of woman (deserves good thangs)
Fist full of diamonds (hand full of rings)
Baby you're a star (I just want to show you,you are)

[Chorus:]

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you

2004-11-13T18:59:00.000-06:00

Cinta yang sebenarnya adalah ketika kamu menitikkan airmata dan masih peduli terhadapnya.

Cinta yang sebenernya adalah ketika dia tidak mempedulikanmu dan kamu masih menunggunya dengan setia.

Cinta yang sebenernya adalah ketika dia mulai mencintai orang lain dan kamu masih bisa tersenyum dan berkata "aku turut berbahagia untukmu".

Apabila cinta tidak bertemu, bebaskan dirimu, biarkan hatimu kembali ke alam bebas lagi, kau mungkin menyadari, bahwa kamu menemukan cinta dan kehilangannya, tapi ketika cinta itu mati, kamu tidak perlu mati bersama cinta itu.

20 Berkat

1. Mengapa saya berkata "Saya tidak bisa" jika Alkitab mengatakan bahwa saya bisa melakukan segala sesuatu di dalam Dia yang memberi kekuatan kepada saya (Fil 4:13)?

2. Mengapa saya merasa kurang jika saya tahu bahwa Allah akan memenuhi segala keperluan saya menurut kekayaan dan kemuliaanNya dalam Kristus Yesus (Fil 4:19)?

3. Mengapa saya harus merasa takut jika Alkitab berkata bahwa Tuhan tidak memberi saya roh ketakutan, melainkan roh yang membangkitkan kekuatan, kasih, ketertiban (2 Tim 1:7)?

4. Mengapa saya harus merasa kurang iman jika saya tahu bahwa Allah telah mengaruniakan kepada saya ukuran iman tertentu (Rom 12:3)?

5. Mengapa saya menjadi lemah jika Alkitab berkata bahwa Allah adalah terang dan keselamatan saya dan bahwa saya akan tetap kuat dan akan bertindak (Maz 27:1, Dan 11:32)?

6. Mengapa saya harus membiarkan iblis menang atas hidup saya jika Roh yang ada di dalam saya lebih besar dari pada roh yang ada di dalam dunia (1 Yoh 4:4)?

7. Mengapa saya harus pasrah kalah jika Alkitab berkata bahwa Allah dalam Kristus selalu membawa kita di jalan kemenanganNya (2 Kor 2:14)?

8. Mengapa saya harus kekurangan hikmat jika Kristus sendiri telah menjadi hikmat bagi saya dan Allah akan memberi hikmat jika saya minta padaNya (1 Kor 1:30; Yak 1:5)?

9. Mengapa saya harus depresi jika saya dapat mengingat bahwa saya dapat berharap pada Allah yang kasih setiaNya tidak habis-habisNya setiap pagi (Rat 3:21-23)?

10. Mengapa saya harus kuatir, resah, dan rewel jika saya dapat menyerahkan segala kekuatiran saya pada Tuhan yang memelihara saya (1 Pet 5:7)?

11. Mengapa saya harus selalu hidup dalam beban jika saya tahu bahwa di mana ada Roh Allah, ada kemerdekaan, dan Kristus telah memerdekakan kita (2 Kor 3:17; Gal 5:1) ?

12. Mengapa saya harus merasa terhukum jika Alkitab berkata bahwa saya tidak ada lagi di bawah penghukuman sebab saya di dalam Kristus (Rom 8:1) ?

13. Mengapa saya harus merasa sendirian jika Yesus berkata Ia akan selalu menyertai saya, tidak akan membiarkan dan tak akan meninggalkan saya (Mat 28:20; Ibr 13:5)?

14. Mengapa saya harus merasa terkutuk atau merasa saya menjadi korban nasib sial jika Alkitab berkata bahwa Kristus telah menebus kita dari kutuk hukum taurat sehingga oleh iman kita menerima Roh yang telah dijanjikan itu (Gal 3:13-14) ?

15. Mengapa saya harus merasa tidak puas dalam hidup ini jika saya,seperti Paulus, bisa belajar untuk menjadi puas dalam segala keadaan (Fil 4:11) ?

16. Mengapa saya harus merasa tidak layak jika Kristus telah dibuat menjadi dosa karena kita, supaya di dalam Dia kita dibenarkan oleh Allah (2 Kor 5:21) ?

17. Mengapa saya merasa takut disiksa orang jika saya tahu bahwa jika Allah di pihak saya tidak ada yang akan melawan saya (Rom 8:31) ?

18. Mengapa saya harus bingung jika Allah adalah Raja Damai dan Ia memberi saya pengetahuan melalui RohNya yang diam di dalam kita (1 Kor 14:33;2:12)

19. Mengapa saya harus terus-menerus gagal dan jatuh jika Alkitab berkata bahwa sebagai anak Allah saya lebih daripada orang-orang yang menang dalam segala hal, oleh Dia yang telah mengasihi saya (Rom 8:37)?

20. Mengapa saya harus membiarkan tekanan hidup mengganggu saya jika saya mempunyai keberanian karena tahu Tuhan Yesus telah menang atas dunia dan penderitaan (Yoh 16:33)? " Diamlah dan ketahuilah, bahwa Akulah Allah ! " (Mazmur 46:11a)

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said, No.
He said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole, and God said, No.
He said her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience, and God said, No.
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation;
it isn't granted, it's earned.

I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, No.
He said He gives blessings; happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain, and God said, No.
He said, "Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow, and God said, No.
He said I must grow on my own,
but He will prune me to make me more fruitful.

I asked God if He loved me, and God said, YES!!!
He gave His only Son who died for me,
and I will be in heaven someday because I believe.

I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me,
and God said, "Ah, finally, you have the idea."

Another KZoo Trip

Well, I don't even know why... but me & some friends (Kismet, Jenny & Tuti) went again to Kalamazoo this weekend... visited Kevien & Uwie (while Risky broke our heart by leaving to Colombus-Ohio) and Thomas also joined us from Saginaw. We arrived friday nite, and we hang-out in a comfy-house-look-alike coffee shop 'til 3AM.

Saturday, went around Western Michigan University, the weather was awful, raining all day... *sigh*

we went to play bowling... which is a never-played-before game ever for me... I meant... I never want to play because I just don't WANT to play (whatever!)... but yesterday all my friends pushed me to play that shit... damned you guys! and you know what happened??? (since it was my very 1st time played bowling) I fell down once & I threw away my bowling-ball to the back (not to the front-line!!) stupiiidddd !!! hihihihihi don't you ever guys discuss about this... please!

but the very unforgetable moment was when all of us prepare our dinner time... it was such a touchy moment... so sweet !! We stayed 'till 9PM and straight back to Chicago that night... felt so sleepy & tired... arrived

another update ... huhmm.. my mom had her 2nd cemo this weekend... be strong mom! *hugz*

Just like Carrie (sex and the City) said on her last episode "I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous. Inconvenient. Consuming. Can't-live-without-each-other love. "

Life moves fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you might miss it." -Ferris Bueller

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one
maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Life is a gift
Live it...
Enjoy it...
Celebrate it...
And fulfill it.

And while you are at it give love to someone today
Love someone with what you do and the words you say
Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden So give it away "Give Love to someone today!"

Even best friends aren't forever. Friendship is built on similarities, and you can't call anyone a best friend unless she or he calls you her/his best friend too. It's a sad but natural process: when one friend's life situation changes, so does the friendship. Change is progress, not betrayal. Keep the parting gentle and the memory sweet, and who knows sometime in the future, your best friend could turn up again out of the blue as that other precious relationship in life: OLD FRIENDS.

This is a story about four people, named
Everybody, Somebody,
Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done, and
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did.
Somebody got angry about this, because it was
Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but
Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody
when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!

my lovely mommy ...

I just got some of my mom's pictures from my sister ... and this really help me a bit to heal how much I miss her so much lately... glad to see that she still can smile... a smile that I really remember ... a smile that shows that she's such a very brave woman...

I called my family this morning (night time at Jakarta), and talked to all of'em (but my brother)... had a nice chit-chat like the old time... laughed out loud, it just seems that we're not far away ... really made me wanna go back home ~~again~~ this X-Mas... *sigh* I just can't imagine how could I go thru X-Mas-time without sharing the moment with my dad, my mom, my sister & my brother... 'coz it's been a tradition for me to go back home every X-Mas ... (whaddahell are we talking about... X-Mas is still 2 months ahead... damned!)

anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy.... that's about it... enough is enough... no more discussion about "~~PULANG KAMPUNG FOR X-MAS~~"

alrighty alrighty ... this will be a quick up date for my previous weekend... i'm such a lazy-ass ever lately... lazy to study... lazy to do my personal stuff... lazy to go to work... damned yo!

my mom's cemo went well... she's such a very strong mom ever... of course she felt the dizzy thingy after the cemo, but she's doing OK now... God Bless You mom... :-)

hmm o yeah... I went to Kalamazoo - Michigan & to Colombus - Ohio last weekend... such a tired road-trip ever... why??? I tell you why....

We (Me, Tuti, Jenny, Kismet, Andre & Miko) went to KZoo at 1AM in the morning... which was 2AM KZoo time... and the highway has so many "work zone" so we had to drive way too slow for that hour.... finally, we arrived at 4.30AM at Kevin's ... and everybody start to chill ..

We can't sleep, so at 10AM we prepared the BBQ thingy... lotsa foods & drinks ... everybody cooked... the weather was good... so it was such a great & unforgetable time though... Thanks alot to Kevin, Uwi & Risky for the hospitality...

at 5PM, me, Tuti & Andre continue our trip to Colombus - Ohio to attend Andy & May's Wedding party on Sunday night... it took us 5 hours driving from KZoo to Colombus... all us was so burned out... Andre drove the first 2 hours, and me continue the rest. Finally arrived in Colombus (Andy's house) at 10PM, had a little chit-chat, and since three of us was so tired... we end up in a hotel.

I slept as soon as I took a shower... I can't even remember & heard everything... damned tired yo! Woke up at 11AM on Sunday, late for church, late for everything... hehehehehe and three of us went around the city... and to Ohio State University (OSU) bought some T-Shirt and took some pictures. Nice City... but not as nice as Chicago though... :-)

The wedding reception was cool... good food... good music... three of us drove back to Chicago at 10PM-EST, I drove the frist route... and the sadest thing happened... we had flat tire... in the middle of no where (I-65N) ... Andre's car had no jack to change the tire... thank GOD i'm a AAA member, so we called them and they send their people to help us in an hour.... yeah... that's so dramatic huh??

Tuti drove the rest trip (after the flat-tire incident), I can barely accompany her driving... I fell asleep... Andre became the most pimp ever... He aint drive at all in our trip back home... *sigh* why guys so unbelievable lately...

That's the story my trip last weekend... what do you think guys?? pathetic? happy? adventurous? for me... I think... no more road-trip for a while... kindda stressful espesially my monday class is a tough class... hopefully my next weekend will be a peaceful weekend... -ciaoooooooooooooooooo-
