While waiting to be picked up by mom and dad to come home, I just attended Friday Night with the preacher Mr. Stephen Metcalfe. He talked about a question, “What do we have to do when people around you do the wrong thing and you are not into do that wrong thing?”

He gave out an outline. In the decision-making process, we would better not to use our emotions and feelings to determine something. Because you’ll do not know what is right for you and what exactly you want to do for your life. You do not have principles to live. It is better you make decision based on something that is right rather on emotions and feelings.

Suddenly I remember a guy who made decision based on his feelings for his girlfriends. Quite cruel.
But this issue has been over hundreds of years: people determine their own way by their feelings and emotion. For your caution, HEART and FEELING are different. They are not twins. Even they are not brothers. They are strangers to each other. So it is totally different. I cannot explain, but feelings always change from time to time. And it could be wrong when it comes for decision-making.

“When I got on my way to MYC Lounge North Meeting Room at 4.35PM, I found Hansen and his friend were sitting down on a 4-couched table. The Journalistic Student Activity would not work if there were only 4 members in it. Ha-ha!
The meeting lasted 2 hours with chatting, talking, sharing, lots of girls stuff included. Hansen is my senior colleague, such an active and dedicated guy to campus. Has so many connection and linkages, know a lot of people.
Once my friend shared, she talked about her conversation with her brother. Her brother asked: “What are you looking for in a university?”. She answered, “Studying to get smarter and smarter.” And her brother replied, “silly dumb girl,” her brother continued, “the thing you are looking for in a college is to build a LOT of relationship with people, make a LOT of friends. You’ll know the advantage really soon.”
Hansen commented, “Obviously that is true. Make a lot of friends…” and he started to share his business deal experience with friends: from clothes buying and selling, multilevel marketing, sea trading / Black Market, until illegal drugs distribution…oh, he was not doing it, luckily.
Then I started to think.
No, I have started to think since the first day my feet stepped on Pelita Harapan University.
Continued tomorrow. I think I need some sleep right now. It’s 11:14 PM. Cannot think of anything. Got headache.argh.
Continued in October 31th, 2008.
“I should make a lot of friends”
But in reality, it is not that easy as said. A lot of friends or few of close friends? When the answer is a lot of friends, you’ll get puzzled. People from ‘group 1’ will hang out together and you belong to ‘group 2’, if you still keep your principle as “I should make a lot of friends” you need to divide your time for both groups, but that results for friends, not close friends. Because having close friends is hard to do, and you need to sacrifice quite a lot of time together.
So.. what should we do? Acting like a fool just like we want to know people for the whole campus to make a LOT of friends?

I have heard a long long ago when I still in web-designing world. Some webmistress stated this in her affiliation application requirement:

“Quality over quantity. What does it mean when you make a lot of bad layouts when there is no one good?”

I know the answer. And you should know.

I listened to “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” by Disney and “Mahalo” by Souljah a moment ago. While the music was played on, my mind and soul suddenly flew higher and higher and dropped in a land where people lying on a secluded beach, your troubles drifting away with the gentle ocean waves. Exploring lush tropical rain forests, immersing themselves in a thousand different shades of green and blue. SCUBA and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, coming face to face with schools of rainbow-colored fish. Toast another day and catch another brilliant sunset. Dancing hula with friendly other foreigners.

While I was dreaming, I stumbled upon a website that said something like this,

“A recent shark attack off of Waianae, Oahu has made headlines across the world. However, incidents of sharks biting people in Hawaiian waters are very rare, occurring on average at a rate of about 3 or 4 per year. Fatal shark bites are extremely rare, especially considering the number of people in Hawaii’s waters.” - About.com

Made my dream melted away at once. While I was thinking about snorkeling in a clear water, meeting various kinds of colored fish, smiling to them and pulling out my hand to reach on of them… but a shark came up and bit my hand. Ouch!

Huahahaha!
Around more than 2 weeks ago, I entered to a blog site with the webmistress resides in Hawaii, and she wrote something about “Some planes in Hawaii suspended or closed down, except for the Hawaiian Airlines”, really, is that true? How is the situation there now?

Today’s question for you: Have you ever been to Hawaii? Tell me a bit of experience! Or if you haven’t, tell me what you did and felt when you went to a beach. ?

Message: This is a love letter from a boy to a girl….

However,the girl’s father does not like him and

want them to stop the relationship……

So, the boy wrote this letter to the little girl.

1 “The great love that I have for you

2 is gone, and I find my dislike for you

3 grows every day. When I see you,

4 I do not even like your face;

5 the one thing that I want to do is to

6 look at other girls. I never wanted to

7 marry you. Our last conversation

8 was very boring and has not

9 made me look forward to seeing you again.

10 You think only of yourself

11 If we were married, I know that I would find

12 life very difficult, and I would have no

13 pleasure in living with you. I have a heart

14 to give, but it is not something that

15 I want to give to you. No one is more

16 foolish and selfish than you, and you are not

17 able to care for me and help

18 I sincerely want you to understand that

19 I speak the truth. You will do me a favor

20 if you think this the end. Do not try

21 to answer this. Your letters are full of

22 things that do not interest me. You have no

23 true love for me. Good-bye! Believe me,

24 I do not care for you. Please do not think that

25 I am still your boyfriend.”

So bad….. However, the boy told the girl

before to

“READ BETWEEN THE LINES”, meaning only to

read 1.3.5.7.9.11.13……

So…

Please read it again!….it’s nice n sweet..

I wasn’t be able to update yesterday cause I had a fever, but till today the fever won’t go away and I cannot stand sleeping in bed all day, I try to blog something to excite myself for the entire boring day.

With a pre-fever symptons I had, I still went to Taman Anggrek Mall yesterday with my younger brothers, brought a 7th Harry Potter book with myself to accompany me while sitting in Starbucks cafe. I bought Mocca Frappuccino + Whipped Cream + Caramel Sauce + Grande Size for Rp 44.000,00 ( US$ 4.7). It’s a very tasty drink and very addictive. Every gulp is so stunning, I felt I didn’t want to miss a single thing. I remember the last coffee I purcased in Starbucks Coffee was the same coffee I bought last year, June 2006 in Bali island.

I sat for nearly 2 hours before my brother joined with me. He is a 8th-year old boy, fat but funny and fun just like Po in Kungfu Panda. He then purchased another drink: Caramel Macchiato + Tall Size for Rp 36.000,00 (US$ 3.6). It was also tasty, but still, Mocca Frappucino is tastier!

Some people especially teenagers tend to sit around Starbucks Cafe just for their own prestige, for showing-off… I dislike those people.

Anyway, I heard from my friend  Sophia, Starbucks Cafe is not too popular in America? Or in your country?

Tell me a bit about it. Do you like coffee as much as I do?
