True Love Means

... find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot...
... who calls you back when you hang up on him...
... who will stay awake just to watch you sleep...
... wait for the guy who kisses your forehead...
... who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats...
... who holds your hand in front of his friends...
... wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you...
... wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her, or that's him"...

so sweet isn't it?
How about you? have you met your TRUE LOVE?

Hidup adalah belajar

Hidup adalah belajar

belajar bersyukur mesti tak cukup,
belajar ikhlas meski tak rela,
belajar taat meski berat,
belajar memahami meski tak sehati,
belajar bersabar meski terbebani,
belajar setia meski tergoda,
belajar tulus meski terzholimi.

Belajar dan terus belajar dengan keyakinan setegar karang dilautan.
tapi sudah kodrat, hati seperti gelombang pasang surut dan sering terbawa arus.
Maka dari itulah belajar adalah pilihan terbaik meskipun belajar dari musibah.
Tiada nikmat istirahat tanpa sebuah kelelahan.

Kebahagiaan

Kita melihat kebahagiaan itu seperti pelangi,
tidak pernah berada di atas kepala kita sendiri,
tetapi selalu berada di atas kepala orang lain

~Thomas Hardy~

Kepada Sahabat2ku

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............MASIH SINGLE

> Cinta ibarat kupu2. Makin kau kejar, makin ia menghindar. Tapi bila kau biarkan ia terbang, ia akan menghampirimu disaat kau tak menduganya. Cinta bisa membahagiakanmu tapi sering pula ia menyakiti, tapi cinta itu hanya istimewa apabila kau berikan pada seseorang yang layak menerima. Jadi tenang2 saja, jangan ter-buru2 dan pilihlah yang terbaik.

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............RAGU -RAGU DENGAN PERNIKAHAN.

> Cinta bukannya perkara menjadi "orang sempurna"nya seseorang. Justru perkara menemukan seseorang yang bisa membantumu menjadikan dirimu menjadi sesempurnanya.

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............TIPE PLAYBOY/PLAYGIRL.

> Jangan katakan "Aku cinta padamu" bila kau tidak benar2 peduli. Jangan bicarakan soal perasaan2 bila itu tidak benar2 ada. Jangan kau sentuh hidup seseorang bila kau berniat mematahkan hati. Jangan menatap kedalam mata bila apa yang kau kerjakan cuma berbohong. Hal terkejam yang bisa dilakukan ialah membuat seseorang jatuh cinta, padahal kau tidak berniat samasekali 'tuk menerimanya saat ia terjatuh.........

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............SUDAH MENIKAH

> Kalau Cinta jangan katakan "Ini salahmu!", tapi "Maafkan aku, ya". Bukan "Kau dimana!", melainkan "Aku disini, kenapa?" Bukan "Kok bisa sih kau begitu!" tapi "Aku ngerti." Dan juga bukan "Coba, seandainya kau..." akan tetapi "Terima kasih ya,kau begitu....."

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............BERTUNANGAN

> Tolok ukur saling mencocoki bukanlah berapa lamanya waktu yang kalian habiskan bersama, melainkan untuk berapa saling baiknya anda berdua.

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............PATAH HATI

> Sakit patah hati bertahan selama kau menginginkannya dan akan mengiris luka sedalam kau membiarkannya. Tantangannya bukanlah bagaimana bisa mengatasi melainkan apa yang bisa diambil sebagai pelajaran dan hikmahnya.

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............BELUM PERNAH JATUH CINTA.

> Bagaimana kalau jatuh cinta: Mau jatuh jatuhlah tapi jangan sampai terjerumus, tetaplah konsisten tapi jangan terlalu "ngotot", berbagilah dan jangan sekali2 tidak fair, berpengertianlah dan cobalah untuk tidak menuntut, siap2lah untuk terluka dan menderita, tapi jangan kau simpan semua rasa sakitmu itu.

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............INGIN MENGUASAI

> Hatimu patah melihat yang kau cintai berbahagia dengan orang lain, tapi akan lebih sakit lagi mengetahui bahwa yang kau cintai ternyata tidak bahagia denganmu.

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............TAKUT MENGAKUI

> Cinta menyakitkan bila anda putuskan hubungan dengan seseorang. Itu malah lebih sakit lagi bila seseorang memutuskan hubungan denganmu. Tapi cinta paling menyakitkan bila orang yang kau cintai sama sekali tidak mengetahui perasaanmu [terhadapnya].

Kepada sahabat2ku yang ............MASIH BERTAHAN MENCINTAI SEORANG YANG SUDAH PERGI

> Hal menyedihkan dalam hidup ialah bila kau bertemu seseorang lalu jatuh cinta, hanya kemudian pada akhirnya menyadari bahwa dia bukanlah jodohmu dan kau telah menyiakan ber-tahun2 untuk seseorang yang tidak layak. Kalau sekarangpun ia sudah tak layak, 10 tahun dari sekarangpun ia juga tak akan layak. Biarkan dia pergi, lupakan.......

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil

"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is a common phrase, usually used to describe someone who doesn't want to be involved in a situation.
But where did the saying originate?

Unfortunately, no one knows for sure how it evolved. Because the saying is typically associated with three monkeys one covering his eyes,one covering his ears,and the other covering his mouth it is believed that the saying may have its origin in a 17^th century temple in Japan.

The Nikko Toshogo Shrine, also known as the Sacred Stable, in Japan has a carving of three wise monkeys. Many scholars believe the monkeys were carved as a visual representation of the religious principle, "If we do not hear, see, or speak evil, we ourselves shall be spared all evil."
Others believe that the saying originated from a Japanese play on words.

"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," translated into Japanese is, "mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru." The Japanese word for monkey is "saru", and sounds very similar to the verb-ending "zaru". It is easy to see how the saying may have originated from a fun play on words. The only problem with this explanation is that the three wise monkeys aren't originally from Japan.
In the eighth century A.D. a Buddhist monk from China introduced the three wise monkeys to Japan. They were associated with a fearsome blue-faced deity called Vadjra. It is believed that the monkeys' gestures were a representation of a command of the deity to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."

Just as there is disagreement about the origin of the phrase, there are differing explanations of the meaning of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Some contend that it is a proverb reminding us not to be so snoopy, so nosy, and so gossipy. Others say that it is a warning to stay away from places where immoral acts are taking place. Whatever the origin and meaning of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," it is one of the most visual phrases in existence. It's impossible to hear it spoken without thinking of three wise, but very cute, little monkeys.

Friendship

The secret of friendship is concern, The secret of love is sacrifice, The secret of happiness is giving, And the secret of life is God!

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing. True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

The holy passion of friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.

Friendship should be surrounded with ceremonies and respects, and not crushed into corners. Friendship requires more time than poor busy men can usually command.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.

There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity. Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
