God created marriage,

for he knew we'd need a friend.

To share our hopes and dreams with,

and love us 'till the end.

God created marriage,

to teach us how to share.

All our earthly assets,

and make us more aware;

That someone else's feelings,

are more important than our own.

And not one of us is perfect,

so we can't cast a stone.

God created marriage,

to teach us to forgive.

His life was our example,

He showed us how to give.

God created marriage,

to teach us how to say.

"I love you" to another person,

each and every day.

Written By Valerie Rousseau.

Yeah, I guess it's true that we need a friend to share our lives with. Someone who tries to understand us and are willing to understand us, no matter what. Someone that we can be ourselves to without having to hesitate one moment.

God truly understands His creation cause He made us. I believe that it is important to share love with another person. Happy loving.....

I know that there are differences in opinion in many people, so what do you think? What do you think about marriage? Should we get married? If yes, what's the purpose of marriage to you? Could that be achieved without marriage? If no, why not? Is there any special purpose that you have that makes marriage not so important? What age would be best for marriage? Should the boy be older than the girl? Why? Or what if it's the other way around? Would there be any problems? What should you prepare for yourself in case you are planning to get married? How much preparation is enough? What is the most important (minimum) preparation in case you cannot fulfill all the preparations needed? What about the future spouse? Is there any characteristics of do's and don'ts according to you? Does these characteristics or criteria matter? What do you think is the perfect mate for you? Is there any perfect mate, or would you say that it'll all work out once you're inside the marriage? What about love? Should it be involved in this situation? If yes, how deep? and if not, are you sure that it doesn't need love to make it work? Would it be possible for anyone not in love to be married and stay in their marriage until they die? Do you believe in true love? Have you found you true love? What if the person with you now is not your true love? How do you find out? Or can you make someone to be your true love even if they're not really your true love? Hehehe, for some that are planning to get married, or maybe for those that are already maried, even for those who aren't married yet and also for those that are not intending to get married, have you thought of these questions before? updated I'm changing to this skin for a while, coz I'm making a lighter layout. I don't know when I'll finish it but. Anyway, just enjoy this one this time OK. bye - What do you think -

Man, I surely need a rest. All throughout this week I've been working my ass off. Since the management planned to make another brand new shoe brand as the 'sister product' of Precise, I have to make at least 2 designs per day, and that's not just any designs but the 'accepted' designs', meaning that if it's not good enough then I may have to revise or make a new one. If you are from the designing business or the art industry, then you may know that inspirations are hard to find and doesn't always come at the right time when you need it. Sometimes you gotta put your head really deep into something to get an inspiration, but that is not a guarantee that you will get something 'good' out of your head. So it's been a very difficult week for me. At this time I must make at least 75 production designs for the Precise brand for next year not to mention another 50 for the new brand. Production designs are designs that will be produced. Maybe in 10 designs I make they will only choose 4 design max. Imagine how many I have to make in a year, not to mention colour combinations that I must make, the specifications of the 'inside' of the shoe that has to be as the standard of Precise. Sometimes I can really enjoy myself at doing this, but at other times, man, how boring can a job gets. This week all the distribution managers from all over Indonesia and their staff came to Surabaya to have the annual meeting in Tretes. Yesterday morning I had to present to them all the shoes that are going to be produced for the second semester of 2004. Man, they're so full of protests. But most of the shoes that I design can be accepted by them so at least until December my designs for production is finished and I can concentrate for next year. This is also the reason for the lack of time I now can spend on the net, cause there's so much to do. The workload is huge, but the pay is not so big. Hehehe Anyone have any designing that needs a designer? Hmm, maybe interior designs, or architectural, or perhaps even shoes hehehe you may want to give it to me. No, I'm kidding. But that sometimes go through my mind, about the money and stuff. Maybe I need to get some extra from somewhere. Steal a bank? heheh Noway hosai. You know that money is important in life. In order to live in a city you must have money. In order to get married you have to have money. In order to do anything you gotta have money, in fact if you're living in Indonesia you also know that even to take a pee you must pay. Maybe the only thing that you don't have to pay for is to let out gas but you may suffer some bruises if you let it out in front of a big guy with tattoes all over his body, and medications need money. hehehe. I don't know. I was thinking of finding another job, or at least a side job. But I'm not sure. I also thought about returning to my main course ARCHITECTURE but after a few years in this shoe business I might have forgotten a few things there, but that can be learned again. Anyway, there are times when I really feel helpless cause many things that I have planned for the future is not going anywhere because the lack of money. But I know that God will give the best for me. I know so. Why am I so gloomy? I don't know. O yeah for those of you bloggers that hate the navbar at the top of your page maybe you ought to see this, cause there's a newer and easier way to take it out updated yesterday, but if you like it still then it's your choice isn't it? Many also said that this layout of mine is downloading very slow, and I also found that out just now. I don't know why, maybe the graphics are too big, too many etc. Many I'm gonna have to make a newer version, maybe not, I don't know. I'm confused at the moment. Well happy weekend everyone, whoever, wherever. Good luck with your lifes. - What do you think -

Some think it's alright, but some doesn't. I've been doing some blogwalking and searching a few places. And to those that want to remove the navbar maybe there's a way. How? Well follow carefully. First step: </head> place this tag at the very top of the template. For some that might find it difficult, you may change the template at the template page by clicking the template tab at the top of the page. remember to keep the correct head tag in its place. Do not remove it. Second step: <style type="text/css")>@import url(http://www.bertelsen.ca/css/navbar.css);</style> place this code just above the correct </head> tag. Save it, publish it and hopefully you're done. Wallah....and the Navbar is gone. I found this at Brandon Erik Bertelsen's blog, in case you wanna read the original version. Well happy trying. It bothers me so I'm glad it's gone now. hehehe - What do you think -

MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA! Tapi apakah kita sudah bener bener merdeka? Mungkin secara nyata emang kita nggak tunduk dan takluk terhadap satu negara, akan tetapi apakah seluruh pribadi orang Indonesia sudah beneran merdeka? Rasanya kok masih banyak masyarakat Indonesia yang diperbudak ketamakan, sex, material dan lainnya bahkan juga drugs, alcohol, cigarrettes dan apa lagi aja deh begitu banyaknya. Sering kali kita sebenarnya nngak nyadar kalo kita itu sedang diperbudak. kalo kita tidak dapat melawan dan mengontrol sesuatu dan mau nggak mau tunduk pada apa yang diinginkannya maka kita sedang berada dalam perbudakan. Iya nggak sih. So apakah semua orang Indonesia sudah merdeka di tahun ke 59 ini baik secara jasmani maupun rohani? Hanya anda yang tau jawabannya, karena andalah pelakunya. Selamat Ulang Tahun deh Indonesia, semoga engkau akan Merdeka dalam tempo yang sesingkat singkatnya. - What do you think -

Ever thought about love? Some get them without even having to try hard to achieve it. It is everywhere surrounding them, while others try their best to get some, but they don’t. Sometimes it seems so unfair, doesn’t it? All people needs love…Let’s share ours right now. updated

Oceans apart day after day And i slowly go insane I hear your voice on the line But it doesn't stop the pain If I see you next to never How can we say forever Wherever you go, whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes oh how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you I took for granted all the times That I thought would last somehow I hear your laughter, I taste the tears But I can't get near you now Ooh can't you see it baby You've got me going crazy

This was a song that V sang everyday this week coz I couldn't come and see her. She misses me so much that she cried. She said that it was her soundtrack for this week. ahahaha. Honey, I missed you too. I went to see her yesterday and we talked so much. I missed her so much, but because there were problems with her parents, we decided that I shouldn't come to her house. That's why we haven't seen each other for nearly a week. I love you V, and I'll always be right here waiting for you. - What do you think -

Tetapi hendaklah kamu menjadi pelaku firman dan bukan hanya pendengar saja; sebab jika tidak demikian kamu menipu diri sendiri. Sebab jika seseorang hanya mendengarkan firman saja dan tidak melakukannya, ia adalah seumpama seorang yang sedang mengamat amati mukanya yang sebenarnya di depan cermin. Baru saja ia memandang dirinya, ia sudah pergi atau ia segera lupa bagaimana rupanya. Yakobus 1 : 22-24

It’s been quite a rough weekend for me. I have been in a depressed position for quite a while. Not only from my daily duties at work but also from the everyday life that I’m facing. It seems that all problems have come together hand in hand at the same time to crush me. I can’t take it, I tried to run away from my problems. I don’t know where to turn to. I don’t know who to consult with, nor whom I can trust with my problems.

When I was trying to run away God had ways for me to show that He cared for me and won’t let me be a strayed. At that point I was just trying to refresh myself from all my troubles. I thought that if I just have a time for myself I could think about it all and do my best to come out of my deep hole myself. But you know I was wrong. I could never get out of that hole in fact I was only just getting deeper because of my problems just seemed to never end. New problems always added even though the first one hasn’t even been touched by me. I was frustrated. I cried to God, “Why have you given me such a life that I have to suffer so much”. Nothing seems to go right.

Yesterday I decided to go window shopping and maybe just buy myself a book to read or something like that. I remembered about Smurf, a fellow Karonese staying in Surabaya that I’ve never met before. We chatted a few times and decided to meet sometime. So I messaged him asking if he would like to meet. We met at Gramedia TP1. At first I was kinda nervous cause I’ve never met him before so I don’t really know what he’s like and also what if we can’t talk. If there are at least three people then if you can’t talk to one there’s still the other, but I have to meet a guy I’ve never met before and there’s only gonna be the two of us. Hmmmm.

Well you know what. I don’t know what to say, but I believe that he was the answer to my problems at that time. Not meaning that he solved my problems but I believe that he was sent for me that day to remind me of my problems and what I must do to solve it.

We talked for hours. Starting from the book store, then going to take a lunch in the food court, having coffee at Starbucks, dinner at Jl. Ahmad Yani until I took him home. Really? I mean I can’t believe it, that we just met but we can talk about things even share our life’s troubles and maybe you may say “minister” one another, and to do that at the first encounter.

starbucks man, starbucks can I believe it...no

It’s really amazing what God has shown me through just a few hours with this guy. I have the courage to once again come to Him in my prayer and be honest about my feelings and that I’m ashamed about myself that I don’t feel like I should be called a human anymore. God gave me such a new strength that I feel much easier to live this day. The verse above is what He told me today, that reminded me that maybe I don’t know who I really am inside. I really haven’t become what God wanted me to be and that’s because I really haven’t put into practice what I already know. Thanks God.

Heal me o God, so that I may become a sweet fragrance in your presence that is pleasing You. - What do you think - |W|P|109201974790028187|W|P|My weekend|W|P|hendra@gmail.com8/05/2004 08:06:00 PM|W|P|klomprangkentang|W|P|Eh asyik nih gue sambil nulis ini lagi listening to Freak to the Beat nya Too Phat ama Linkin Park yang gue sebenarnya gak terlalu suka sih, Hip hop rules and . Asyik deh, di warnet lagi...wah gaul bener nih warnet ya. Wah akhirnya nih layout baru jadi juga , banyak sih yang belom sesuai dengan keinginanku . Habis, gak bisa banyak yang aku perbuat jadinya ya begini ini deh. Jangan pada ketawa dulu dong hehehe. habis aku nggak pede sebenarnya dengan layout ini. Jadi aku nyatakan sebenarnya walopun udah dilaunching ya anggap aja soft launching deh hehehe habisnya masih tetap akan dalam kondisi under-construction nih. Eh nggak under construction deng melainkan under development heheheh that's much better isn't it? Ehhhmmm lumayan juga sih niat aku buat layout ini. dari yang pulangnya paling telat dari kantor sampe yang ngendon berjam jam di warnet. heheheh Kok paling lama pulangnya? ya iyalah khan mau pake internet yang ada di kantor hehehe mumpung gratis. Walo sebenarnya manajemen udah pada sering bilang "penghematan...ayo kita semua melakukan penghematan...biaya tambahan yang ga perlu sebaiknya dikurangio gitu..." Hahahha tapi kalo udah kecanduan ya begini ini deh jadinya. Begitu masuk kantor langsung deh gue ngidupin tuh modem di kompi sebelah gue. Karena di kantor gue masih pake modem jelek gitu dan disharing lewat LAN. Ya akhirnya rada rada lelet juga sih walopun jaaaaauuuuuuhhhh lebih kenceng daripada make di warnet hehehe. Pokoknya gue niat banget deh mbuatnya, terutama karena tahunya cuma sepotong sepotong tuh tentang HTML dan gue tuh pelupa banget lagi. Wah kalo udah ingatnya satu eh yang cara lainnya ato untuk penerapan yang lainnya jadi lupa deh. Kesel gue ama cara kerja otak gue yang kadang gak mau membuka file file yang udah tersimpan disana.

Anyway gue jadinya yang harusnya pulang jam 4 sore tuh biasanya jadinya pulang jam 6 bahkan pernah jam 7 hehehehe sampe malu, yang lain kirain gue lagi ngerjain kerjaan. Semua pikir gue rajin bener tapi kok kerjaannya ga ada yang keluar semua. Masalahnya gue nulis script sambil juga belajar dari banyak media man, yang wesitenya orang, , yang tutorial website en many more deh. Jadinya ya agak lambret begitu heheh. Terus karena malu lama lama ya akhirnya terkadang gue nyambung deh di warnet hehehe. Gue melakukan semuanya di blogger secara online, jadinya kalo udah buat perubahan kecil atau gede trus gue preview gitu. Gue tahu sih kalo sebenarnya bisa aja ngerjainnya offline, tapi khan resources lainnya ga ada. tiba tiba butuh ngelihat warna tertentu gitu khan gue nggak ingat semua kode kodenya ato untuk melakukan ini atau itu, khan gue kadang harus lihat lagi entah kemana. hehehe pokoknya serba autodeduct deh. Ya nggak tau deh kayaknya sih lumayan juga, (untuk ukuran pemula) right? tapi karena ngerjainnya online dan kadang modemnya lelet bahkan sering terinterupsi alias mati alias pedot sambungannya jadilah pernah hilang sama sekali codenya sehingga menghasilkan tampilan yang jauh dari sempurna alias amburadul. Waahhhhhh sampe mau nangis deh, bayangkan semua yang udah gue tulis itu hilang tinggal beberapa baris doang. Kebayang nggak sih

Ya tapi akhirnya dengan penuh perjuangan jadilah layout yang seperti ini, dengan banner yang udah berubah ampe berapa kali ya? Dari yang gede terus gambarnya berubah dikit tapi masih gede, trus bannernya dikecilin, trus udah kecil ada lagi yang berubanh gambarnya...wah pokoknya kagak pernah puas deh,

"rasanya kok nggak sekeren punyanya teman teman lainnya ya, emang mereka sekolah apaan sih kok bisa mbuat yang bagus kayak gitu" (sirik MODE ON)

Anyway this has become what it has become and I can't do too much to change it. tapi promise deh akan ada beberapa perubahan kecil kecilan disana sini, hehehe bener² ga puas deh gue. Please kalo kemari boleh nggak di comment tentang perubahan yang terjadi. Biar kalo ada saran dan usul bisa gue tampung en kalo ngeh caranya ya gue terapin hehehehe, ato ya sekalian ngajarin gue yang lemot ini

Ya udah deh enjoy it while it lasts OK guys and just

Ditungguin lho...Hmmm kalo nggak pada tau, ya udah tak ceritain. Yesterday was gathering day for bloggers from this wonderful city we call Surabaya. Well? What happened you say? To tell you the truth nothing much happened. But it's always interesting to meet the real life person that their blog you usually visit. What they really look like in person, how they react towards certain things. how they think, apart from what we know from their blogs. Well yesterday the gathering was supposed to be held at 15.30 WIB sharp. well according to me, anyway. i always liked to come at the right time and kinda feel annoyed when I have to wait for other people to show up. Well I arrived a little bit ahead of time and found out that none of the bloggers are there. Well actually I didn't know who was gonna come and what they looked like, only some people that I've already met from the previous gathering , which in this case wasn't there yet. So I thougth that I needed some money, so I just walked to Surabaya Plaza which was a throw of a stone away from Monkasel (monumen Kapal Selam) hehehe. Inside I was called by Uyet and asked if anyone was there yet and asked me to pick her up. So I had to walk back all the way to Monkasel and take my bike and went to pick up Uyet. GGGGrrrrrrrrrmmmmmhhhhh. In monkasel I met alaryx and jony eating bakso. wakakaka they looked funny. At last alaryx came up to me and I asked them to wait up coz I was gonna get Uyet. Back from uyet, we finally met a few more people there. There were balung and wife (?) Aini or Aipopo, also Udin. So we talked for a while until I saw something (or someone) familiar that I've seen before somewhere. He was hiding behind the bushes under a tree near the telephone booth, just like someone from the village that has just come to the big city (scared?) wakakakaka. Well I know immediately that he was a kriwul person eventhough he has no hair left. So I asked him to join us. he only smiled with such a big grin on his face. At the gate I had to pay up for the 8 person. well actually i paid Rp. 20.000 but wasn't returned back to me..Lost...lost...lost...cry...cry...cry...heheheheh We went in coz after a while waiting no one showed up. We sat near the river...ooohhh so romantic. hahahaa. But that's after arguing where to sit. Actually at the start everyone was kinda quiet. i don't know why? have they eaten or not ? A little later Dibbie came with the "ooh so facial" Agnis (who happen to be a non blogger but enjoys blogwalking). Why I said she was so facial, coz every once in a while she would make faces and would make duck lookalike with her hands, and that "chemprenx" voice made it so obvious that ducks are her favourite animal. Gee. She always said to me,"Why are you so mean to me?" Hahaha it was just funny picking on her and when I asked what her name was, she would shake my hand and said,"Agnis ...(something)...S.Fam" hahaha. She did that a few times. Guess she just wanted to shake my beautiful hand, wakakakaka. So balung started to talk about the reason of the gath, but before long Ameck and Aley the two gondronx came. Which was soon followed by Mirzha and friend, which was also from the gondronx gang. Also a new girl that wanted to start blogging came. Her name was Mini. Also mas Isa came.After that we tried to talk a little bit about what we would like the new Surabaya's Blogging Community called Cangkrukan Community to be like. Well we would like to be the homebase of the East Java Blogging Community in the long run and provide the information about blogging to our community such as schools and unis, but just be able to have a closer relationship within the community in the short run. We decided to make a monthly gathering, hopefully every beginning of the month. So anyone from Surabaya reading this, come and join this new community OK. Also we are gonna put up again the www.cangkrukan.or.id website that is still having a little bit of trouble as a place for us to gather in the cyber world.

The next gathering will be held at:

Place : McDonalds Basuki Rahmat

Date: 4th September 2004

Time: 4 o'clock WIB

"be there or be square"

While we were talking, Mas Kriwul was sneaking out of the gath. We didn't know until he came back with some chips and peanuts. When we asked about the drinks...came a guy that brang us Cokes in paper cups. Wow thatnks a lot Mas. You may repeat it again soon hehehe. Why? cause he was chosen to be the head of the Consumption section alias "food provider" hahahahaha.After drinks and chips and talk and a lot of making fun of Agnis, I finally have to go. But before I go we had some photo shooting event. hahaha. Maybe I can get some photos from Ameck and post it here soon OK.

So all you people from Surabaya. Don't forget the next gathering Ok.And for bloggers from other cities, come and join us too, or better still make your own community. So happy blogging.

"may the BLOG be with you"
