The most Beautiful Smile in the world

2011-11-22T17:18:00.000-08:00

After almost four years of neglecting blogs and writing less important things, i finally get back to my blog. Can't believe how time passed by so quickly until i realized how my life changed in quite many ways.

I now have a very adorable daughter, aged 1 year and 2 months. With her in my life, all things seems so easy, so beautiful, so alive. Even in the most hectic days of my live, hugging her for a minute or two release all the burdens, the tiredness, and everything on my shoulders.

can't think of any title

........berharap ada bintang jatuh............

2005-11-21T21:17:00.000-08:00

kenapa mesti berharap ada setitik bintang jatuh, toh bintang jatuh kadang pada saat yang sangat tak terduga. Dalam sepimu, dalam ramaimu, dia tiba-tiba muncul. Ketika melihat bintang jatuh engkau berharap sesuatu yang baik, bukan kepada bintang tetapi kepada Tuhan, Sang Pemilik bintang.....dan tanpa engkau sadari engkau mengingat-Nya walaupun hanya untuk kepentinganmu sendiri.

Sebenarnya dengan jatuhnya sebutir bintang sungguh indah cara Tuhan untuk mengingatkan kita untuk mengingat-Nya, bukan saja dengan bunyi halilintar dan petir kita berucap istighfar... tetapi juga ketika bintang jatuh, berkilau, indah penuh harapan. Engkau berharap sesuatu yang baik, engkau berharap sesuatu yang indah, semoga segala peristiwa menjadi indah karena engkau sadar bahwa Dia-lah pemilik segala peristiwa.

Renungan Indah

2005-11-15T18:18:00.000-08:00

Seringkali aku berkata, ketika orang memuji milikku, bahwa sesungguhnya ini hanya titipan, bahwa mobilku hanya titipan-Nya, bahwa rumahku hanya titipan-Nya, bahwa hartaku hanya titipan-Nya, Bahwa putraku hanya titipan-Nya.

Tetapi, mengapa aku gak pernah bertanya, mengapa Dia menitipkan padaku?? untuk apa Dia menitipkan ini padaku?? Dan kalau bikan milikku, apa yang harus kulakukan untuk milik-Nya ini?? Adakah aku memiliki hak atas sesuatu yang bukan milikku?? zmengapa hatiku justru merasa berat, ketika titipan itu diminta kembali oleh-Nya??
Ketika diminta kembali, kusebut itu sebagai musibah, kusebut itu sebagai ujian, kusebut itu sebagai petaka, kusebut sebagai panggilan apa saja untuk melukiskan bahwa itu adalah derita.
Ketika aku berdo'a, kuminta titipan yang cocok dengan hawa nafsuku, aku ingin lebih banya harta, ingin lebih banyak mobil, banyak popularitas, dan kutolak sakit, kutolak kemiskinan, seoalah semua "Derita" adalah hukuman bagiku.
Seolah keadilan dan kasih-Nya harus berjalan seperti matematika; aku rajin beribadah, maka sebanyaknyalah derita menjauh dariku, dan nikmat dunia kerap menghampiriku. Kuperlakukan Dia seolah mitra dagang, dan bukan kekasih.

Kuminta Dia membalas "Perlakuan baikku", dan menolak keputusan-Nya yang tak sesuai keinginanku, Gusti padahal tiap hari kuucapkan, hidup dan matiku hanyalah untuk beribadah.....

"Ketika langit dan bumi bersatu, bencana dan keberuntungan sama saja".

Some Fact ABout Coca Cola

2005-11-15T18:08:00.000-08:00

Cola was first invented in the late 1880s by Dr. John Styth Pemberton, a pharmacist, in a three legged brass pot. At first it contained cocaine, which was legal at the time (hence the name "Coca"-Cola.) When cocaine became illegal it was replaced with caffeine, which had a similar effect of stimulating the body and creating an addiction. By 1895 it was consumed in every state and territory in the United States. Today, it can be found in 195 countries, and is consumed more than 773,000,000 times a day around the world (and that's not even counting other brands such as Pepsi, RC Cola, and Shasta).
SOME COCA-COLA FACTS AND USES:
1. Colas contains citric acid and are therefore very corrosive. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a t-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
8. To bake a moist piece of meat: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the meat in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the meat is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
9. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, And run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
10. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It's pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
11. To carry Coca Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.
12. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years.
