Dear Wife:
I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for
good. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have
nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell.
Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and
that was the last straw.
Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had gotten a
new hair cut, cooked your favorite meal, and even wore a brand new
pair of silk boxers later that night.
You came home, nibbled at your food for two minutes, and went
straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell
me you love me anymore, you don't want sex anymore or anything.
Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me. Whichever is the
case,,,,I'm gone.
Signed,
Your EX-Husband
P.S. Don't try to find me. Your sister and I are moving away to West
Virginia together. Have a great life!
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------
Dear Ex-Husband:
Nothing has made my day more enjoyable than receiving your letter.
It's true that you and I have been married for seven years,
although a 'good man' is a far cry from what you've been. I watch
my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and
griping. It's just too bad it doesn't work.
Yes, I did notice when you got a hair cut last week,,,and actually
the first thing that came to my mind was "You look just like a
girl",,, but my mother raised me not to say anything at all if you
can't say anything nice. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you
must have gotten me confused with my SISTER, because I stopped
eating pork seven years ago.
I turned away from you when you had those new silk boxers on
because the price tag was still on them. I prayed that it was just a
coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me
that morning and your silk boxers were $49.99...
After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it
out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for twenty
million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Hawaii.
But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a
reason I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you've always
wanted.
My lawyer said with the letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime
from me. So take care.
Signed:
Rich As Hell and Freeeeeeeeeeee!
P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but my sister
'Carla',,,was born Carl. I hope that's not a problem for you !!!

July 14, 2007. What a life...!
14 Juli 2007 adalah hari ketiga gw memfasilitasi training di Bekasi. Dalam 3 hari ini, damn! banyak banget yg bisa gw lihat dan syukuri dalam hidup gw. Gw belajar untuk menghargai hal-hal kecil seperti rumah yang nyaman, roti di pagi hari, tempat tidur yg ada AC, dan orang tua yang sayang ama kita...
For those who read this blog and thought that your life is boring (read: too comfortable), be grateful for not so many people are as lucky as we are.
Hari pertama gw harus ke Bekasi, gw naek kereta Ekspres yang nyaman dari Gambir ke Bekasi. Saking nyamannya, sampe gak sadar kalo lagi ada di Kereta di Indonesia. Rasanya kayak di Jepang. Hehehe..... Tapi nungguin keretanya lama banget udah gitu telat sejam... Besoknya, gw naek kereta ekonomi yang harganya 1/10 dari harga kereta ekspres yang tiap 15 menit datang. Ternyata bukan hanya 'tepat waktu' yang didapat.. Kalo ada yang mau lihat, kira kira begini keadaan di dalam kereta ekonomi Jakarta-Bekasi. Kasian banget nih anak-anak dan orang-orang yang harus menjual/melakukan apa aja supaya dapat makanan yang cuma cukup buat hari itu juga (foto2 ini ada yang agak blurred karnan keretanya goyang2 dan gak semuanya ter-capture dengan kamera karena ngeri bo ngeluarin kamera padahal lagi banyak orang di kereta):
----- Anak kecil main Topeng monyet-----
----- Penjual minuman, disetiap pindah gerbong, penjualnya harus ngangkat embernya -----
----- Jualan stiker, tebak berapa duit 1 lembar gede stikernya? 1000 rupiah. Beli permen aja cuma dapet berapa tuh?-----
----- Penjual tomat----
----- anak tukang bersihin sampah-----
Ada lagi anak kecil yang beli rokok (umurnya sekitar 10 tahun) dan penjual rokoknya malah bantuin light up the cigarette. How pathetic! Ada orang buta yang naik turun kereta (bayangin orang buta sambil bawa speaker di pundak and microphone buat nyanyi) trus naik kereta. Ada lagi tukang jual bando and ikat rambut (cuma 1000 juga)...
Anyway, to sum up, kita harus bersyukur dengan makanan yang cukup, minuman yang cukup, kesehatan yang cukup, pake baju yang bersih bahkan bisa jalan-jalan ke luar negeri. Nggak banyak orang yang seberuntung kita.
To all the readers,
love you..

Why I'm glad to be a girl
* We got off the Titanic first.
* There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.
* We have enough sense to realize that the easiest way to get out of being lost is to ask for directions.
* We don't have to fart to amuse ourselves.
* We get to flirt with systems support men who always return our calls, and are nice to us when we blow up our computers.
* Our boyfriend's clothes make us look elfin & gorgeous. Guys look like complete idiots in ours.
* Men die earlier, so we get to cash in on the life insurance.
* Free drinks, Free dinners, Free movies ... ( You got the point? ).
* We can hug our friends without wondering if she thinks we're gay.
* We can hug our friends without wondering if WE'RE gay!
* We can congratulate our team-mate without ever touching her butt.
* We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
If you want true wealth
Remember what is the most important.
It's not having everything go right;
it's facing whatever goes wrong.
It's not being without fear;
it's having the determination to go inspite of it.
It is not where you stand,
but the direction you're going in.
It's more than never having bad moments;
it's knowing you are always bigger than the moment.
It's believing you have already been given everything you need to handle life.
It's not being able to rid the world of of all its injustice;
it's being able to rise above them.
It's the belief in your heart that there will always be more good than bad in the world.
Remember to live just this one day and bed tomorrow's troubles to today's load.
Remember that everyday does and brings a new tomorrow full of exciting new things.
Love what you do, do the best you can, and always remember how much you are loved.

The art of taking time to live
To get the most out of our life we must take time to live as well as to make a living.
We must practice the art of filling our moments with enriching experiences that will give new depth to our lives.
We should take time for good books.
Time to absorb the thought of poets and philosophers, seers and prophets.
Time for music that washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Time for friendship; time for talks by the fire and walks beneath the stars.
Time for laughter; time for letting go and filling the heart with mirth.
Time for travel; time for pilgrimage and festival and shrine and exhibit, for rock bound coast and desert mountain and plain.
Time for nature; time for flower gardens, trees, birds, and sunsets.
Time to love and be loved for love is the greatest thing in the world.
Time for people; time for the interplay of personalities and the interchange of ideas.
Time for solitude; time to be quiet and alone and to look within.
Time to give ourselves, our talents, abilities, devotion and convictions that we may contribute to the onward march of humanity.
Time for worship; time for opening our lives to God's infinite springs of vitality, that we may live more abundantly.
In all ways let us make our moments glow with life.
Let us pray as did Matthew Arnold: Calm.
Calm of more, nor let of die, before I have begun to live.
--Wilfred. A. Peterson
