Antara Sesa'at dan Hilang

Ada sa'at dimana kita harus kehilangan moment yang indah yang datang dengan tiba-tiba dan pergi begitu saja atau menghilang dalan sesa'at. Dan dimana kita harus menjalani tempo singkat tersebut diluar kesadaran kita.
     
Ada sa'at dimana kita :
" Bicara tampa dikira,

  Berkata tampa diduga,
  Bertindak tampa disadari &
  Rasa terus terluka"

Adakah karena egois manusia...?
Mengapa jiwa haus tampa mengira...?
Adakah karena keserakahan manusia...? atau,
Adakah karena "Cinta" yang menusuk jantung...?

Walau rasa terus terluka,... Namun
Hidup harus terus berlanjut...!









Using What God's gave You...!

Since we our selves fashioned into all these excellency formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ Body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be.
Romans , 12 : 5 (msg)

Just Do It


Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness...
Lough when you can
Apologize when you should
and let go of what you can't CHANGE
Love deeply and Forgive quickly.
Take CHANGES
give everything
and have no regrets.
Life is too short to be Unhappy.
You have to take good with the bad.
Smile when you're sad...!
Love what you've Got
and always remember what you Had.
Always forgive, never forget
Learn from your Mistakes but
Never Regret

Pulau Natal


Pulau Natal atau yang biasa disebut Christmas Island adalah sebuah wilayah luar negeri Australia yang terdiri dari 1 Pulau. Pulau ini terletak di dekat Pulau Jawa, tepatnya di sebelah barat daya Pulau Jawa. Iklimnya merupakan iklim tropis.

Pulau Christmas yang merupakan wilayah dari Australia di Samudera Hindia terletak 2.600 kilometer (1.600 mil) dari arah barat laut kota Perth, Australia Barat, 500 km (310 mil) dari arah selatan Jakarta,Indonesia dan 975 km (606 mil) dari Pulau Cocos (Keeling).

Pulau ini memiliki populasi sebesar 1.402 warga yang tinggal di sejumlah "daerah pemukiman" di ujung utara pulau: Flying Fish Cove (juga dikenal sebagai Kampung), Kota Perak, Poon Saan, dan Drumsite.

Pulau ini terisolasi secara geografis dan jauh dari jangkauan manusia hingga abad ke-19. Tidak mengherankan jika berbagai flora dan fauna endemik di pulau ini relatif tidak terganggu. Kondisi ini merupakan hal yang penting untuk para ilmuwan dan naturalists.

Pulau ini sebenarnya adalah pulau yang dahulu dihuni oleh bangsa Melayu (Indonesia) namun seperti biasanya dasar dari perilaku penjajah, Inggris seperti halnya Australia, menjadikan penduduk asli pulau ini terpinggirkan dan menjadi orang kedua di tanahnya sendiri, seperti halnya kaum aborigin di Australia. Selain bangsa Melayu, bangsa Tionghoa juga banyak terdapat di Pulau ini. Dahulu mereka didatangkan dari Malaysia dan Singapura sebagai pekerja tambang fosfat (guano).

The atmosphere of the early evening in Dili in December 2009 provides a how international situation in Timor Leste.

"This year people from China may be able to reach 1000 persons. Most work on major projects. Furthermore, people of Indonesia in second place. Other Asian nations like the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and India is easy to find. Many white people from Portugal, Australia, England and the United States, "said Belo, who was once a guerrilla with Fretilin.

In addition, there are also people from the former Portuguese colonies like Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and other countries. Indeed, night workers, such as karaoke, girl guides from China, also easily found in the city of Dili.

Hard work

Dili is currently visited by bees like honey from different directions. However, life is not easy in Timor Leste. The hard work is the key to survive in the newly independent country and use U.S. dollars as an official means of payment.

Ditto Soares (23), a taxi driver, claiming the life of the home in Dili was still promising to work hard. "If ordinary circumstances, be able to net 20 dollars per day. If diligent, could be 40 dollars to 50 dollars per day, "said ditto.
