Message on the First Observance of the International Day of Non-Violence 2 October 2007

2011-10-05T06:02:00.000-07:00

I have a new book in Indonesian language which the title is "Be The Change" by Anand Krishna. I'm so interested in this book because on the page xlvii, the Secretary General of U.N., H.E. Ban Ki-moon have stated about the message on the first observance of the International Day of Non-Violence 2 October 2007. I'd like to copy it and share it here with you all.

The United Nation was created in the hope that humanity could not only end wars, it could eventually make them unnecessary. Our founders hoped that the Organization could help help stop violence by spreading a culture of peace, promoting tolerance and advancing human dignity.

These same ideals sum up the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, whose birthday we celebrate today. His peaceful struggles against unjust regimes in South Africa and India captured the world's imagination. And his incorporation of non-violence into everyday life inspired countless individuals to lead better, more meaningful lives.

"Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed" was the Mahatma's response when charged with agitation against the State in 19992.

The Mahatma's inspiration is needed now more than ever. All around us we see communities increasingly mired in rising intolerance and cross-cultural tensions. We see extremist dogma and violent ideologies ginning ground, as moderate forces retreat.

Recently, we have witnessed lethal force being used against unarmed and non-violent marchers who exemplified the very spirit of the Mahatma's teachings.

Today, there is a great need to address these trends and to promote true tolerance and non violence at every level, from the individual all the way up to the State. The International Day of Non-violence can help advance this effort. May it help spread Mahatma Gandhi's message of non-violence to an ever wider audience, and hasten a time when every day is a day of non-violence.

Sea Mammals

2011-09-24T09:12:00.000-07:00

A sea mammal is a mammal that depends on the ocean for its food. There are different types of sea mammals such as seals, sea lions, walruses, sea cows and dolphins.

Seals, sea lions and walruses live both on land and in the sea. When on dry land or on ice, they are very clumsy in their movements, but in the water they swim gracefully. They all leave the water for land or ice fields to give birth to their young.

Sea cows and dolphins are also aquatic mammals. Sea cows eat water plants, whereas dolphins are mainly fish eaters. Dolphins are intelligent. They communicate with each other using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalization. They can also be trained to perform various kinds of tricks and acts.

The highly intelligent killer whale belongs to the dolphin family. Despite its scary name, it has never been reported to attack humans.

Be Your Own Privacy Protector

2011-08-05T10:49:00.000-07:00

Have you ever been in a condition while you felt badly stuck, bored, angry, and broken-hearted and all you need to do is release them to the whole world so you can relieve your burdens?, or have you ever been in a position when you wanted to speak up your brilliant idea to many people? Just do be grateful because you live in modern life. Social networking is available so you can share everything in your life to many people all over the world.

If in the past years teenage girls who felt in love or frustrated of love usually kept it as a secret in their diaries, in this era, you will hardly find the place to hide your feeling. You can check your home page in Twitter then you will find many girls, also boys, who express their feelings about many things,include in that the very sensitive feelings, like love and hatred.
Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Myspace are the examples of social media networking. If you have a spare time, use it to observe social networking. It will make you surprise to see many things have changed and happened in this era. Those accounts will make our life easier to be connected to many people. It's good for us to promote something. So, more or less it will be so helpful if we know how to maximize the advantages of social networking. Besides the advantages of social networking, there are also the disadvantages. For examples: I found some strangers whom I didn't know at all, used my photos for their profile picture on their Facebook account and put them in their gallery. They act bad things like that without asking my permissions first then I also found stalkers who really want to know more my real life. Well I have realized and thought about the benefit and loss, before I go on with social networking.

Two bad experiences from social networking have proven that social networking changed people's thought about privacy. Some people probably think that entering someone's life too far is just fine. The openness of the social networking users often makes the other people tempt to cross the privacy line so that many problems had happened then.

What should be reckoned here is the fact that social networking is consisted of many users with different condition, such as personality, culture, education and of course motivation. It's impossible to guarantee that all of the social networking's users are good people. This kind of things should be realized to all of the users so they can be more careful with social networking.

Curtains are made so the people in one home can protect their privacy and avoid themselves from the blazing sunlight. One simple thing to to protect ourselves from intruders of privacy is to put curtains behind our windows. This is not about closing our own self completely so we are alienated to the technology development. Put a curtain means that we try to protect our own privacy wisely and considered what we should post in social networking. Something which is too personal and not important to be shared to the other people is better is better kept away from social networking. It should be applied when we want to put our photos in social networking too. The more we open our self to the social networking, the more we take our privacy in risks!

Everyone puts a major role in protecting his/her own privacy. Social networking may be harm or helpful, it depends from our wisdom to use social networking. If you think that your capability of protecting your own privacy has not been good enough, it's safer for you to stop existing from social networking.

The Right Brush

2011-07-31T07:05:00.000-07:00

Toothbrushes now come in all shapes and sizes with some powered by battery. You should choose soft nylon bristles that are long-lasting and will not hurt your gums. The main purpose of brushing is to remove soft plaque deposits, so a soft toothbrush is always you need. A medium or hard-bristle toothbrush may not be more effective at removing plaque. Brushing with hard or medium bristles may strip away tooth enamel, root surface and gum tissue. This can cause abrasion, tooth sensitivity and gum recession. When it comes toothbrush size, bigger does not always mean better. The head of the toothbrush should be small enough to clean the sides of the back morals, or back teeth. When in doubt, go for the smaller size that is meant for adults. For people wearing, there are special toothbrushes that have shorter middle bristles than those at the edge of the toothbrush. This design allows the toothbrush to clean both the teeth and the braces well. Those with crooked teeth may want to consider a modified toothbrush called an end-tuff brush. Such toothbrushes have bristles shaped like an arrow for cleaning areas that are difficult to reach. Contrary to popular belief, an electronic toothbrush, with all its attendant hype, is not always better. When using electronic toothbrush, do not apply excessive force on the teeth or over-scrub as tooth structure may wear out. That electric toothbrushes may be suitable for people with limited movement, like stroke patients who may have difficulty reaching their back teeth with a manual toothbrush.

The toothbrush should be changed once every three months as bristles may fray by then.. Bacteria may also grow if toothbrushes are used for an extended period. To brush correctly, position the brush at a 45 degree angle toward the gum line and move it in a circular motion. Don't scrub your teeth horizontally along the gum line as if you are scrubbing the floor. It may cause the gum to recede, exposing the root of the tooth. This may increase tooth sensitivity as the gum tissue acts as a protective blanket for the tooth's roots. Always floss before blushing. flossing helps to dislodge the buildup of plaque.

We are Sisters for Life

2011-07-31T00:06:00.000-07:00

We are sisters by chance, friends by choice
You're a sister who fights with me, plays with me, shouts at me and annoys me. But you're a great person on the inside and outside
Yeah ... We always share laughter and tears
We know each other so well
We trust each other with our innermost thoughts and secrets
I always feel like I can be totally honest with you
You are there for me on my worst days and you encourage me to be the best I can, but no matter what, you accept me for who I am
You're a special gift from God
I don't love you just because you are my sister ... I love you because you're also my friend
Thanks for being there for me
I'm so grateful that I have you as my sister.
Everything important that I learned, I have learned from you
We are sisters for life

Being a long distance couple has not been easy! Our relationship has experienced many ups and downs over the years ~ it is far from perfect. However, we have learned from our mistakes and have grown stronger and our love for each other has too!

I'm writing this blog to teach people what to do and what not to do in their long distance relationship if they want to overcome the distance. Dito Alfrianto, my boyfriend in the navy (name changed to protect the fantastic) and I have found that many people are in desperate need of learning the basics of keeping their long distance relationship going. Too many times, we have seen long distancers making the same mistakes over and over again.
When people are invested in their emotions, these basics can easily be overlooked. So as you read my blog have an open mind and be objective ~ you will understand this information a lot better. View your relationship as if you are an outsider.

A. Respect Your Partner
We have realized that many people aren’t showing their partner as much respect as they should be. A lot of times all we hear is, “me, me, me, me…” when it comes to people describing how they feel when their relationship is suffering. Often times, the feelings of their partner are overlooked, and they only are thinking about themselves. They expect their partner to fulfill their every need and feel that it is their right. Now listen, your partner is only human they can only do so much and it would be impossible for them to meet your every expectation. They have lives outside of your relationship, just as you do, or should. When you feel you have been wronged in some way in your relationship, have an open mind ~ try to see things from your partner’s point of view. How would you feel if you were on the other side of the issue? You may come to realize that you may react or do the same as them, or at least you will be able to understand why they react they way they do. Let me give an example of a common issue, just to put this into context. Many times people will feel that their boyfriend or girlfriend does not care about them as much as they used to. This could be for various reasons, but usually they will begin to feel this way if their boyfriend/girlfriend stops doing nice things for them, or even when their phone conversations become limited or short and their boyfriend/girlfriend doesn’t talk to them as much anymore, or even doesn’t want to. In this situation, people will feel that their boyfriend/girlfriend is the culprit. They are the ones that do not want to talk; they are the ones that stopped doing special things. Now try to see things from their perspective. Maybe they have become bogged down by something going on in their lives, and they don’t have the time they used to. Maybe they feel there is not much to talk about and when they do get on the phone with you, you yourself don’t have much to say. Maybe they stopped doing special things, because you don’t hardly ever return the favor. The point I am trying to make with this example is these that things can’t be overlooked. Always take into consideration your partner’s feelings and try to understand where they are coming from before you take any action. You need to respect their feelings before you attack them with words such as, “You don’t care about me anymore.” That can really hurt. So think about them next time and respect their feelings, by recognizing them and trying to do something about it, instead of expecting them to. I think you’ll start to see them reciprocating the respect you give them.

Do things to make your partner feel special
Try to think of something you can do everyday to show your partner that you care. This can be as little
as saying “I love you.” Or, “I love talking to you.” Or even, “You make me happy.” Those little things will
make them feel great and it will give them reassurance.

Keep learning about each other

Long distance couples use the phone a lot and/or have written hundreds of emails. What more can there possibly be to talk about? I can assure you, that there are things you don’t know about your partner, and you just haven’t realized it yet. My boyfriend and I were once in a situation where we didn’t have anything to talk about. Phone calls were dreaded because we didn’t know what to say, except for the usual things going on in our lives. We went from having interesting, intellectual conversations and debates, to having mind-numbing, boring talk. A desperate move, I bought an e-book, called 1000 Questions for Couples, in the hopes it would get us out of this conversation slump we were in. Much to my surprise, it actually helped tremendously. Much more than I expected it would. Dito loved being on the phone with me again, and vice versa. I bought it about a year ago, and I still open it up every once in a while when we’re bored on the phone. It never disappoints! One question might give us an hour of conversation. It wasn’t free, but it was definitely a good investment that I am thankful I made for our relationship.

Trust each other

Another issue we see a lot is the lack of trust in people’s long distance relationships. Rule of thumb? Don’t distrust someone, unless they have given you a reason to not trust them. Have they cheated on you before?
If not, then trust them. It is never okay to accuse someone of cheating unless you absolutely know for certain they are cheating. So many people have come to the conclusion their partner is cheating on them when their
partner doesn’t do everything they want them to do. It really distracts from the real problem, which is some other underlying relationship issue that is causing a strain on the relationship. Okay, okay, so you still want to know that they are not cheating. So how can you figure this out the correct way? Well first of all, don’t be a snoop and hack into their email or anything else. That is an obvious no-no. People have come to us having seen emails or saw a text message on their partner’s phone that seems suspicious. That is snooping and we don’t condone it. Intruding into your partner’s privacy shows a lack of respect you have for your partner.
First of all, if you are in a committed relationship with someone, you should be able to talk about anything and everything. Nothing is off limits. So don’t be afraid to ask tough questions. But how do you ask without sounding accusatory? I would simply ask a hypothetical question, for example, “If you ever cheated on me, would you tell me?” Listen to their response. If they say yes, then I think you are okay. If they come back
with a response like, “Why would you ask me that?” Then they are showing a little defense. Not a good sign, but don’t accuse them yet. Just say you’re just curious. If they continue to be on the defense, and are trying to avoid talking about it, then you might ask them if they have ever cheated.

Plan for a future
Don’t enter a long distance relationship if you aren’t willing to have your life changed drastically. A relationship cannot remain long distance forever. At least one person is eventually going to have to move for the other, if not both. You both have to be willing to move for the other person. If you really love each other, this shouldn’t be a problem. You shouldn’t be in a long distance relationship if you don’t love them anyway. Long distance relationships, are not casual relationships, they can’t be. Long distance dating isn’t like same city dating where in same city dating, a relationship may start off as casual. A couple that has entered a long distance relationship must agree that they are in a committed relationship.

Visit as often as reasonably possible
Set a date. Planning for a visit gives you both something to look forward to. Visits can be such a wonderful boost for a long distance relationship. Dito and I know how much an expense visiting a long distance boyfriend/girlfriend can be. Plan for the expense. Save up money. Split the costs. Whatever it takes, know that it is always worth making the trip to see the one you love. But be reasonable ~ make sure you can afford a trip before you spend all your savings. Communicate at a regular, but reasonable frequency. Some couples will talk for several hours per day. That isn’t right for everyone, in fact, that is quite extreme. But communicating once every couple of weeks is also extreme. If you can help it, try to communicate on a daily basis, and then figure out a reasonable amount of time you can each spend on the phone. Some people’s lives may be busier than others, so the amount of communication in relationship can vary. There is not set magical amount of time that everyone should spend. For Dito and I we spend up to 2 hours a day either on the phone, online, usually a combination of the two. Some days only 20 minutes or sometimes even just a call to say “goodnight.” Other days (usually special days we can’t spend together like our anniversary), we might
actually spend a few hours, but we obviously plan ahead for that. Consider not just your own schedule, but also your partner’s. Respect that they may be very busy on day that you might have completely free. At least call each day to say “goodnight.” I believe that is something most people should be able to do without too much difficulty if they have a phone. If you’re worried about phone bills, I think it’s time to purchase cell phones with providers that allow free calling within the network, even if it means having to switch phone companies or get plans with enough minutes so you won’t run out and get charged more if you go over your limit. If you live in different countries, or you can’t afford to switch cell phone providers right away, try free internet calls through services such as Skype and Ekko.

Do get a webcam and good internet service
This may be out of your control if you’re a teenager in a long distance relationship, and your parents don’t want to spend on money on high speed internet or lend you the cash to get a webcam (teenagers out there reading this, if you have these things, consider yourself lucky to have supporting parents!). If however, it is within your means to have these things, do it! Your relationship will be much much much better. And I don’t know what you’ve been waiting for. You certainly won’t regret it. A webcam allows more interaction than a phone ever could. A webcam gives you the ability to learn your partner’s body language and facial expressions. Interactions are also much more enjoyable and there is less pressure to speak when you don’t have much to say ~ another advantage of using a webcam versus using the phone alone.

Don’t forget you have a life
For some personalities, it can be easy to become consumed by your relationship, so much to a point that you forget about your friends and family around you. Long distance relationships can consume a good amount of your time, but don’t lose your connections with other people in the process. Make sure your long distance love life is balanced with your everyday life at home. It’s okay to tell friends “no” every once in awhile when they ask you to go out with them if you are planning to spend time with your long distance boyfriend/girlfriend, but don’t say no every time. At the same time, don’t treat your boyfriend/girlfriend as if they are a lower priority than your friends and don’t always choose your friends over him/her.

Do have date nights
Set aside time for a date night every week. Watch a movie together, eat the same meal, find things to do to interact online, or just chat it up for a longer amount of time on the phone than usual. Just because you’re far away doesn’t mean you can’t have a date.

How to handle long distance arguments
It’s going to happen eventually if you haven’t had an argument already. Having an argument long distance is not easy. There are certain things you should and should not do in an argument.
- Don’t hang up the phone. As tempting as it might be, this is the worst thing you could possibly do. It is disrespectful and in my opinion no one deserves it. Try to stick it out. Make a promise to each other that you will not hang up the phone.
- Don’t interrupt. Take turns explaining your points, and hear the other person out.
- Actually listen to what they are saying and don’t think about why they are wrong or prepare how you are going to argue what they are saying, just listen. Don’t dismiss their points even if you think they are downright wrong. Show them some respect, if you want respect in return.
- Tell them how you feel not what they did. Say how they made you feel. For example, “I feel like I’m low priority in your busy life.” Instead of, “You make hanging out with me a lower priority than hanging out with your friends.” The difference? Using the second sentence is going to make them feel defensive and they are only going to argue with you. Telling them how it makes you feel will be a lot more effective.
- Try to find a compromise. Agree on something you’re both comfortable with even if it means not getting exactly what either of you want. It’s better than not getting what you want at all.
- Don’t use the cold shoulder technique. This is just as bad as hanging up. Giving someone the cold shoulder (aka. not speaking to them) is only going to make things worse. You’re not going to get any happier, and they aren’t either. And it’s not going to make them come crawling to you for forgiveness and give you what you want (the usual motive, whether the person doing the ignoring will admit to that or not). Just don’t do it.
- Don’t put off conflict. Handle the issue ASAP. Get it over and done with. The longer it lingers, the longer it will be affecting your relationship in a negative way.
- Don’t create an argument. Sometimes people will get frustrated with the distance and make a big deal about something small that probably wouldn’t usually bother them. Avoid creating an argument in the first place and you’ll save yourself a lot trouble. If you are frustrated with the distance, talk about it with your boyfriend/girlfriend. Venting about what you’re really upset with is better than getting into a heated argument about something unrelated.
- Avoid having an argument online. If you start to argue, it is better to talk it out, instead of instant messaging. The last thing you need is to be misinterpreted.

Definite Don’ts for any Long Distance Relationship

Here are some other things you should avoid; .
1. Don’t rush things. Some people who come to us for advice are in this scenario: they have only been together with their long distance boyfriend for a week or a month, and they think their boyfriend/girlfriend should be okay with their high expectations that they have for the relationship early on. Either they are talking about moving to be with them a week after starting their relationship, or are so demanding in other ways that
they end up pushing them away early in the relationship. In their minds, they think they are married at the start! And they don’t get why their boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with them… please…
2. Don’t expect them to always answer their phone. This is another problem people come to us with. Just because they don’t answer their phone, doesn’t mean it is a giveaway that they are cheating or are intentionally ignoring you. Don’t get yourself riled up. They are more likely than not too busy to answer their phone or their phone is in different room and they don’t hear it. Don’t have high expectations like this, period.
3. Don’t put yourself in certain situations. Although people in long distance relationships don’t cheat any more than people in same city relationships, cheating continues to be a big concern in LDRs. To avoid being accused of cheating, avoid putting yourself in situations where cheating might actually be tempting. Don’t hang
around others that you know are into you or that at some point were interested in before you started dating your long distance boyfriend/girlfriend. Just don’t hang out alone with someone that might be a sexual interest. Don’t put yourself in any situation that might be suspicious if your girlfriend/boyfriend found out about it. You will save yourself a lot of trouble.
4. Don’t lie. Obvious, but don’t lie to avoid your girlfriend/boyfriend. For example, if your boyfriend/girlfriend calls and you don’t want to talk to them because he/she called you 5 times already today, don’t tell them you’re busy writing a paper, or grocery shopping, or whatever to get out of a conversation with them. Just tell them you don’t want to talk to them and you need a day to do whatever you want. Long distance relationships can be draining of course and we all need some space, even in a LDR. It’s okay to ask for space, but don’t overdo it.
5. Don’t let them control your life, and don’t control theirs. We’ve seen some ridiculous stuff that we can’t believe others have let happen in their relationships, or why people would even stay in these relationships. They are in a long distance situation, and their boyfriend/girlfriend tries to control them. This can be somewhat innocent such as people asking us how they can make their boyfriend/girlfriend go to a certain school that is close to them, how to get their EX boyfriend/girlfriend to go back to them after many months, or how to make their boyfriend/girlfriend do nice things for them. It can also be extreme. For example, people have had so much control over their boyfriend/girlfriend that they have manipulated them to send money to them on a
regular basis. That certainly isn’t a healthy relationship (and if you’re in that situation, get out of it!). For the more innocent things, such as wanting your boyfriend/girlfriend to do nice things for you, do nice things for them first. Don’t make them do them. Make them WANT to do them.
6. Do not have a “break.” I personally don't think having a break helps any relationship. Nothing gets "fixed" and you return to the relationship with the same issues because you didn't work on them together, all you did was avoid them. Problems have to be sorted out together, not apart. Being able to successfully work out problems is a test for every relationship, and something you need to be able to do as a couple.

Lastly…
Remember the reason you are in this relationship. You love each other! And if you have love, then you can’t let distance destroy that. It is an obstacle, that most people do not have to face, and if you can overcome this, and make it to a point where you can finally live in the same home, then you will be able to overcome many other challenges you may face in the future. So for now, in this chapter of your relationship, make the most of it! And enjoy the small but great benefits long distance can offer to your relationship including but not limited to sweet reunions and better communication. I have been in a long distance relationship since April 2009 with a navy pilot, and know it is possible to make our LDR work (especially if you are with the right person!) Believe it or not, Ditto and I have had many ups and downs in our own relationship and understand firsthand how difficult this type of relationship is. I hope you benefit in some way from the advice I have given here.

I wish you the best success in your long distance relationship!

You're my best friends who I can trust to always be loyal and true
And there is no greater friendship than the ones I share with you gals
I’ll always think of you with a glad and grateful heart
Because your friendship is my blessings
I knew it from the start

Five Ways To Be The Type Of Friend You'd Want in Your Own Life

2011-07-26T10:06:00.000-07:00

Being a great friend is usually intuitive, but sometimes we need a reminder about how to go above and beyond when it comes to friendships. Here are five ways to be the type of friend you'd want in your own life. Why not be that type of friend for someone else?

Make Time for Friends

A great friend is busy (like most of us) but still manages to make time for their pal. Good friends know that friendships are one of the perks in life designed to improve your world. They do not look at friendships as a waste of time, or something to pay attention to only when they need a favor. To that end, they make time even when they are busy by proactively keeping in touch through email, Facebook, and phone calls.

Give Support Freely

Is there anything worse than continually having to remind a friend to be happy for you? Or support you in your decisions? A great friend rallies behind you without prompting when you need a few words of encouragement, and stands by you when you make a life-changing decision. While friends might not always agree with the things you are doing, they support you all the same. This means that when you need a shoulder to cry on or somebody to celebrate with, they are right by your side.

Know How to Have Fun

Let's face it, sometimes life gets so intense we need a reminder to just sit back and relax. That's where friends come in. Having a great time might mean something slightly different to all of us, of course, but your best pals know exactly how to make you kick back and enjoy yourself with some fun activities.

Be Honest
When you ask your friend for an opinion, they will give it honestly but gently. When it seems like no one in your life will tell you the truth, your friend will have your back. Your pal might not always tell you what you want to hear, but they will be honest with you, and that is valuable in today's world. More than that, their honestly will always be meant to help you rather than cut you down.

Respectful
Your friend doesn't gossip behind your back or play dirty pool when it comes to arguing. When they disagree with you, it's done in a respectful way that is meant for you both to come to an understanding, not to change your mind or to "win." Your level of trust is high with a good friend because they respect you too much to ruin your relationship.

Being Single and Happy Songs

2011-07-26T09:43:00.000-07:00

Connection might be at the heart of what makes us human, but for many, being single is something not only to be celebrated but sung about and cherished. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of songs that portray being single as something worth holding onto or being happy about ~ most focus on the bitterness of a breakup or conquering the negative feelings associated with some sort of relationship baggage. But sometimes, just sometimes, we want to celebrate being happy and single, without the premise that there's someone else out there to be unhappy about. These songs focus on loving the single life, and achieving a greatness that has nothing to do with anything but who we are. Think I've missed the perfect being single and happy song?

On Love and Kindness

Most people have an inspiration in their life. Maybe it's a talk with someone you respect or an experience. Whatever the inspiration, it tends to make you look at life from different perspective. My inspiration always comes from my mother, Sri. She's a great success as a wife and a mother, a sister, a daughter and a friend. She's so smart and kind, plus my friends say she is gorgeous and all that. But it's more how she handles things, how she treats her friends and her family, how she cares about people that makes me so proud. That's the stuff that I aspire to be. She's everything to my family. I am thankful that God let me have my mother until now and I am happy that I am able to let her know how much I love her.

My mother always tells me to remember to never do anything that I feel isn't right, no matter what, and never to forget that I can always trust my heart. Another important advices that I still remember when I was in Senior High School, she told me that "Unconditional Love's the most precious gift we can give, being forgiven for the past is the most precious gift we can receive. We must show our kindness in giving to others because kindness in giving creates love.” I still hold her advices in my heart. Because of my mother, I trust life. I have visions and mission in my life.

My visions: I will do anything with great love and be generous with kindly words. I will allow my intuition, my heart, my divine knowledge to lead me. I will always work hard for what I want and keep trying after I have been turned away and I believe my dreams will come true.

My missions: By giving, I can teach others how to give also and I will make a life by what I give like my mother does. I hope I can dispense enthusiasm&inspiration which have the potential to turn a life around.

Social Networking

2011-03-13T08:00:00.000-07:00

Over the past few years, social networking had been slowly creeping on most of our social lives, taking the forms of chatting, e-mailing and several other social networking services. Only recently has it taken Indonesia by storm, especially with the introduction of Facebook.

It spread through the country like wildfire. Everyone, from young to old, rich to poor, boys and girls, schoolchildren and working men alike were addicted to this new sensation. They spend timeless hours in front of the computer posting many things, ranging from the information to the trivial. And it is clear that Facebook has not only taken our time, but also most of our youths' sense of privacy. They would write embarrassing things on each other's "walls", updating their statuses with ridiculous, sometimes vulgar quotes, uploading narcissistic photos and statements, looking for ways to make a mark (any kind of mark on the internet). This is even more so for the timid people, becoming brave and open on the net despite their nervousness in real life.

What is social networking? social networking is when you use the internet or other networks to do social activities with other people, such us e-mailing, chatting, writing in forums, playing online games or other ways of online socializing. These activities have one important fact that separates them from ordinary socializing; you don't need to be in the same place and you can still socialize. There are many social sites in the world, including MySpace, FriendWise, FriendFinder, Yahoo! 360, Orkut, Classmates, and Twitter, just to name a few. although most people still go out together for their socializing needs, social sites, forums, and chatting have taken roots all over Indonesia.

People nowadays think that social networking is socializing through internet social sites, like Facebook and Twitter, but in truth that is only an elementary form of it. It is just that a lot of people use it more often for those kind of things. In my opinion, social networking is actually utilizing networking services to achieve our goals, such us getting a job or arranging business deals and Facebook is good for keeping abreast with the development in the lives of friends and acquaintances, and maintaining social relationships but we must know how to balance your personalities and to show private matters only with people you want to show. And please remember for those who are using Facebook, don't add friends who you wouldn't invite to your house. Be careful with whom you befriend ^_^

My First Encounter With Unconditional Love. What a Powerful Feeling! ❤

2011-03-12T09:43:00.000-08:00

I was a rotten teenager. I was mean and manipulative, trying to get my way at any cost. Like many young girls in high school. I managed to sabotage, time and time again, the most precious relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother. My mother gave birth to me at 24 age, even today, my former behavior astonishes me each time I reach into my memories. Hurtful comments that cut and stung anger the people I cared most about. Acts of confusion and anger that seemed to rule my every move-all to make sure that things went my way. But then when I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? and why the people I cared about the most? Why the need for all the lies? Why the attacks on my mother?I didn't want to inflict any more pain on people to cover up what I was truly trying to hide myself: self hatred unleashed on everyone else.

Mom did lots of nice things for me. Every day, she told me she loved me. I'm so glad mom didn't give up on me. She had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. I cried on her lap for hours one afternoon and asked why she still loved me after all the horrible things I did to her. She just looked me down at me, brushed the hair out of my face and said frankly, "I don't know." She said, "Unconditional love is the most precious gift we can give. Being forgiven for the past is the most precious gift we can receive. We are family, and families don't give up each other."

This mom was different; she wasn't going to get rid of me. She really did love me. And I realized I loved her, too. I cried and hugged her.

Today I'm 20 years old. Mom and I like to do things together. We smile when people say how much we look alike ^_^

I dedicate this song to you, Mom ^_^

A friend is a gift you give yourself

2011-03-12T00:23:00.000-08:00

From the Senior High School I had learned two things: the type of friends I wanted, and the type of friend I wanted to be. I had a great friend who knew me right away. He was a very caring person. It was funny how he understood all I had to say. He listened to my problems, my dreams and we talked about love and life. I never once felt judged by him. He knew just how I felt. He seemed to just accept me and all the problems I'd been dealt. He didn't interrupt me or need to have his say. He just listened very patiently and didn't go away.

I saw him last night for the first time in years. He was miserable. He had bleached his hair, trying to hide its true color, just as his rough front hid his deep unhappiness. He needed to talk, so we went for a walk. While I thought about my future, the college applications that had recently left. Then he spoke. He told me about his love and I saw a dependent relationship with dominating girl.He told me about the drugs, and I saw that they were his escape. He told me about he needed a friend and I saw hope, because at least I could give him that. He really needed my friendship now more than ever. So I took his hand and told him that I was there and that it was okay to cry, so he did. All he need was LOVE
