Birth is the “START OF LIFE”
Beauty is the “ART OF LIFE”
Love is the “PART OF LIFE”
DEATH IS THE “END OF LIFE”

But................FRIENDSHIP is the “HEART OF LIFE”

This making me thinking where are all of my friends this day :) Are they busy..... are they well... perhaps I should " catch " them and get some smile out of them :)

Sometime.. in life we are too busy to realise and drown ourself in our own little world and forgetting that there are some people out there that actually thinking of you and missing you and your thoughts... but we are too lazy to even think about it sometime huh ?? I am guilty as charge !!

Listen, I am not going to rambling about it but will try to fix my attitude and have some more time for my friends... Let me try okay :) I mean... I might not be in touch as much as I used to but that doesn't and never lessen my thought of you guys and my affections to each one of you... You guys are in my heart and my mind - my eyes might not always seeing you but my thought are always with you....

With that... let me share this with you... so you guys know that Life is How We Make It and what's important is sometime its not what you dream about but what lays in front of you.....

Here it goes....

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

"This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package."

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

"She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never pu t it on, was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said:



"Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".

I still think those words changed my life.

Now I read more and clean less.

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.

I spend more time with my family, and less at work.

I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day.. I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.
She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.

I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... that I wanted to write

"One of these days".

I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and sisters, son and daughters, not times enough at least, how much

I love them.

Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives..
And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day..

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.


If you got this, it's because someone cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about.

If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it "One of these days", remember that "One day" is far away... or might never come...

Ugh.... recovering from Asian Flu and Chicken pox !!! Both myself and my daughter just recovered from those mentioned above =p - almost there.... we just need the right food to gain our strength then we shall be on our way to healthy living again !! Can't wait !! Being down for almost 3 weeks was not nice... sleeping.... sleeping... sleeping and courses of antibiotic was not our cuppa tea at all but Thank GOD now we both on the road of recovery... slowly but sure. At least my little Angel start to eat again and her smile returning........... this is my piece of heaven on Earth :)

The rain still coming and going here in Indonesia at the moment. Some part of the country just baddly damaged by the flood... another bad disaster that occurs here currently plus... we are threaten by 3 volcanoes eruptions - One of the big volcanoes The Merapi is on high alert - I was listening to the news this morning and it is "angry" - it would be huge disaster if when the volcano finally erupting. People near by had been advice to move out of their home and living in provided camps - not a luxury indeed but it is an emergency...... sometime in this kind of moment I ask myself : How this kind of suffering experienced by humans when GOD is so loving and caring.....? Then , I close my eyes and remembering all the good things that GOD had given us for so many years... each day is a gift from GOD therefore... a "little" suffering by comparison to GODs graces is nothing..

After all GOD never give us any "trials" without " rewards " but we need to look deep within ourself to find the answer to GOD mysterious ways :)

I believe in magic and all the little things that happen each day is magical ! Miracle infact... want example ?? isn't magical how you wake up in the morning and see the sun for another day ? magical that you still can breathe each day ?? and many other GOD gifts to us - it is GOD kindness that make us what we are NOW !

Let me tell you little story by how kind GOD is ........

Once, GOD took all the think that was matter so much to me and I was one arrogant and proud about .... flaunted it whenever I can.... picking on someone less fortunate than myself ... bluntly putting ?? I was a bitch ! ............ but.......... One day GOD decided to "teach" me a lesson or two... My smart brain being "tampered" so I lost control over my life, lost my ability to think , to see and to make any sense of anything...
GOD took my long brown beautiful hair which I thought was most exotic part of me - GOD took it away and left me with half balded head with 100 of stitches on it !!
My beautiful body was also taken away - GOD gave me a lesson not to be too proud of my outter appearance.... GOD gave me most fat, ugliest, yucky body in exchange .... no one would look at me twice - my face was swollen like some beach ball :)
My exotic face was also being taken away, the porcelain clean face was full of pimples and flaky skin..... I was scared to look at myself in the mirror !
GOD took everything that was beautiful on my outter appearance.....

..........But... GOD so amazing and so good to me and my daughter and my family...... why ? GOD took everything to teach me a very valuable lesson - GOD taught me to be humble , accepting, respect others, value life and content and many other lesson - mostly lesson for my inner soul. GOD gave me peace and serenety... most of all GOD gave me the best gift after those hard time... Being able to raise my daughter again - this is the best gift of all :) - being trusted to still looking after my daughter and strength within me ..

Now, GOD gave me everything back and more ... Alhamdulillah...

Why I raised this ?? 4th of May is one of those day that I couldn't forget for the rest of my life.... the day my daughter almost lost me...therefore I thank GOD everyday for everything that GOD has given me. It is 2 years since those dark day, people and friends come and go but GOD and my daughter never left me... so it is clear to whom I should put my priority to :)
In my heart those are whats important to me now.... not those fair-weather friends !

Anyway... be healthy, be wise , be happy and appreciate what you've got because you never know when all of those thing could be taken away from you... including yourself and people that you care about.

Life is good.....

Take care my friend........ I love you all :)
