Seven Ways to Be Happier at Work

Telecommute. Sometimes a good way to find happiness is to just stay home. Would you enjoy playing tennis with friends during the day? Rolling on the floor with Fido? Watching daytime soaps or CNBC's stock ticker? Who cares as long as the daily work gets done? Pitch your boss on telecommuting. If he or she resists, offer to go on a short leash; for example, agree to submit twice-a-day work progress reports.


Propose a special project. Love to travel? Propose doing a feasibility study on opening a branch in Hawaii. (Site visits essential, of course.) Love to talk with people? Offer to create a collection of how-to-succeed-at-work tips and tricks derived from interviewing employees in the company and maybe even at your competitors.
Become a mentor. Let it be known that you enjoy mentoring people. You'll likely find yourself with at least one or two people who'd appreciate having someone with whom to hash out work problems.

Tweak your job description. Do you like some aspects of your job and hate others? See if you can trade tasks with a co-worker. Your drudgery might be another's relaxation; your weakness, another's métier. For example, I know a lawyer who loved holding forth in a courtroom but couldn't stand the detailed research work. He found another lawyer in the firm who felt the opposite, so they agreed that, where possible, they'd trade work.

Make your workspace feel more like home. Want to put an oriental rug under your desk? Your favorite small painting on your cube wall? An aromatherapy zen fountain on your desk? Many workplaces have no issue with such personalizing.

Use at-your-desk stress busters. Just a minute of slow, deep breaths, or tightening and loosening sets of muscles from neck to feet can reenergize you. Or try a five-minute at-your-desk yoga session.

Make a close friend. Find someone with whom you can become close. That can take the edge off work stresses. Ask your potential bud out to lunch and talk about things more intimate than the ballgame score -- everyone has important hopes, dreams and fears. Unearth those and share your own, and you're halfway to developing the sort of intimate relationship that can soften the edges of even the hardest workplace.

Still not happy at work? Maybe it's time to look for a better job.

What Your Workspace Says About You

"Everything in your office sends a message, whether you want it to or not," says Lisa Marie Luccioni, an adjunct professor of communication at the University of Cincinnati..

You'd rather be fishing (or skiing, or skydiving, or building birdhouses). Evidence: Pictures and artifacts from your hobby on every surface.
There's a delicate balance between sharing your interests and giving the impression that you're daydreaming all day about jumping out of planes or skiing, according to Barbara Pachter, business etiquette expert and the author of "New Rules at Work": "Pictures of your hobby are good conversation starters, but if you have too many of them, it makes people wonder whether you're really daydreaming about fly-fishing."

They can hang around. Evidence: A full candy dish, aspirin in the drawer, well-tended plants, pictures of children and babies.
"Things like an open door, candy, a comfortable guest chair, and photos of people--but not pictures of objects--signal an extroverted workspace that people will feel free to linger in," says Sam Gosling, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas.
They shouldn't hang around. Evidence: Flimsy guest chair, guest chair covered in files, or no guest chair. Your desk faces away from guests. Minimal or no decoration.
"Even if your office has photos or artwork, but they're images of things and not people, [people] can make an assumption you're more introverted and might not want them to linger," Gosling says.

You demand respect. Evidence: Multiple degrees on the wall, awards on the shelf, pictures of you and important people, magazines featuring articles about you. The plaque on your desk says your full name and title, and lists your advanced degrees.
"Name plaques form a strong impression. If it says just your first name, people assume you're friendly and approachable. If it has a formal title, they think you want to be respected for your rank," Luccioni says.

You've just been hired, you've just been fired, or you'd like to leave soon. Or you'd rather be temping. Evidence: Files in boxes, no decorations, no books, no plants, no pictures, and no name plaque.

They should avoid doing business with you. Evidence: Messy piles of papers on every surface. Half-eaten donuts atop teetering stacks of binders. Carpet stains.
Experts agree that a messy office can seriously damage your reputation as a conscientious person. "It's hard to function in a messy office, and people assume your office chaos will spill over to their project and their files will be lost in your mess," Pachter says.
Gosling pointed to research that shows people read much more than they should into a messy office. "People think that someone with a messy office is less agreeable, which may not be accurate. My guess is, people assume a mess is inconsiderate."

You don't take the whole "work thing" too seriously. Evidence: Humorous posters, ironic bumper stickers, whimsical images, and toys.

Conscious Decorating
Experts have several suggestions on making sure your workspace matches the image you want to project.
Err on the conservative side. Especially if clients visit you or if you're in a high-traffic area, you want to make sure people don't stop in their tracks to gawk at your collection of teddy bears or tiki torches.
Be careful with controversial items. "Consider the cost:reward ratio of putting up something like a political campaign poster," Luccioni says. "You might find kindred spirits, or you might offend people and get a first meeting off to a bad start." All experts say anything potentially racist, sexist, or homophobic, or otherwise disparaging of a group, is a no-no.
Check your employee handbook, or ask HR. Your company probably has some guidelines on decorating your work space. They might not even permit any decoration, which makes the issue moot.
Follow industry norms. Some industries demand a strict image of seriousness, while others are more laid-back. A poster with a funny or counterculture slogan would be more appropriate in the office of an advertising copywriter than the office a defense attorney.
Consider the physical arrangement. "A desk can act as a barrier and give formality, which is good for reviews but can be intimidating," Luccioni says. She adds that a small circular table allows everyone to meet on an equal basis. A power difference, if you want that, can be achieved by giving guests smaller, flimsier chairs.
And if you tend to make snap judgments about others' offices, try to look at the bigger picture, Gosling recommends.
"Any one item can have many different purposes. If someone has a plant, maybe they have a green thumb, maybe they're into feng shui, or maybe the plant was left over from the last person in that office. If you see someone with a super neat desk, how do you know whether they're truly neat, or whether they swept everything into a drawer before you stopped by?"

Are you the ONE?

"Love is a fire.
But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house,
you can never tell."
~ Joan Crawford ~

There is always some madness in love.
But there is also always some reason in madness.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~

"Love is the flower you've got to let grow."
~John Lennon~

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Bible
~I Corinthians 13:4-8~

Renungan...

Disaat kamu ingin melepaskan seseorang..ingatlah pada saat kamu ingin mendapatkannya

Disaat kamu mulai tidak mencintainya...ingatlah saat pertama kamu jatuh cinta padanya

Disaat kamu mulai bosan dengannya...ingatlah selalu saat terindah bersamanya

Disaat kamu ingin menduakannya...bayangkan jika dia selalu setia

Saat kamu ingin membohonginya...ingatlah disaat dia jujur padamu

Maka kamu akan merasakan arti dia untukmu

Jangan sampai disaat dia sudah tidak disisimu,

Kamu baru menyadari semua arti dirinya untukmu

Yang indah hanya sementara

Yang abadi adalah kenangan

Yang ikhlas hanya dari hati

Yang tulus hanya dari sanubari

Tidak mudah mencari yang hilang

Tidak mudah mengejar impian

Namun yg lebih susah mempertahankan yg ada

Karena walaupun tergenggam bisa terlepas juga

Ingatlah pada pepatah,

"Jika kamu tidak memiliki apa yang kamu sukai, maka sukailah apa yang kamu miliki saat ini"

Belajar menerima apa adanya dan berpikir positif....

Hidup bagaikan mimpi, seindah apapun, begitu bangun semuanya sirna tak berbekas

Rumah mewah bagai istana, harta benda yang tak terhitung, kedudukan, dan jabatan yg luar biasa, namun...

Ketika nafas terakhir tiba, sebatang jarum pun tak bisa dibawa pergi

Sehelai benang pun tak bisa dimiliki

Apalagi yang mau diperebutkan

Apalagi yang mau disombongkan

Maka jalanilah hidup ini dengan keinsafan nurani

Jangan terlalu perhitungan

Jangan hanya mau menang sendiri

Jangan suka sakiti sesama apalagi terhadap mereka yang berjasa bagi kita

Belajarlah tiada hari tanpa kasih

Selalu berlapang dada dan mengalah

Hidup ceria, bebas leluasa...

Tak ada yang tak bisa di ikhlaskan....

Tak ada sakit hati yang tak bisa dimaafkan

Tak ada dendam yang tak bisa terhapus....

Diri Sendiri

Tetap menjadi diri sendiri...
Berdiri di antara terpaan angin kencang...
Menatap lurus ke depan...
Menantang cakrawala yang luas menghadang...
Tetaplah menjadi diri sendiri....

I am Woman

I am woman, hear me roar..in numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend 'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes I am wise but it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price but look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything I am strong...I am invincible..I am woman

You can bend but never break me 'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal and I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer 'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

I am woman watch me grow see me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo with a long long way to go until I make my brother understand

Oh yes I am wise but it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price but look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong..I am invincible..I am woman

Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

Happy Birthday

We turn not older with years, but newer every day..we are always the same age inside...

Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you have not committed...

With much of hope, with meaning rife—
A thoughtful day from dawn to close:
The middle day of human life...

Happy birthday!!

Perempuan Cantik Merusak Kesehatan Pria???

Bertemu perempuan cantik dapat berakibat buruk bagi kesehatan Anda, demikian hasil penelitian sejumlah ilmuwan.

Sebuah penelitian dari University of Valencia, sebuah universitas tertua dan terbesar di Spanyol, menyebutkan, berada lima menit hanya berdua dengan seorang perempuan cantik dapat meningkatkan level cortisol, hormon stres tubuh, pria. Efek ini meningkat pada pria yang percaya bahwa perempuan tersebut "di luar jangkauan mereka'.

Cortisol diproduksi tubuh yang mengalami stres fisik atau psikologis dan telah dikaitkan dengan penyakit jantung.

Telegraph, Senin (3/5) melaporkan, para peneliti telah menguji 84 mahasiswa pria dengan meminta mereka duduk di sebuah ruangan dan memecahkan teka-teki Sudoku. Dua orang asing, satu laki-laki dan satu perempuan, juga ada di dalam ruangan tersebut.

Ketika perempuan asing itu meninggalkan ruangan dan dua orang pria itu tetap duduk di sana, tingkat stres kedua relawan pria itu tidak muncul. Namun, ketika seorang relawan pria tinggal sendirian dengan si perempuan asing yang cantik, tingkat cortisol-nya meningkat.

Para peneliti menyimpulkan, "Dalam penelitian ini, kami menilai bahwa bagi sebagian besar pria, kehadiran seorang perempuan cantik dapat menyebabkan persepsi bahwa ada kesempatan untuk pacaran. Sementara sejumlah pria mungkin menghindari perempuan yang atraktif karena berpikir, mereka 'tidak mungkin dapat memacari perempuan tersebut', mayoritas akan merespon dengan kecemasan dan sebuah respons hormonal yang terjadi berbarengan."

"Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat cortisol pria meningkat setelah terjadi kontak sosial singkat selama lima menit dengan seorang wanita muda yang menarik."

Cortisol dapat memiliki efek positif dalam dosis kecil, yaitu meningkatkan kewaspadaan dan kesejahteraan. Namun, peningkatan kadar cortisol kronis dapat memperburuk kondisi kesehatan, seperti memicu penyakit jantung, diabetes, hipertensi dan impotensi.

Brain games makes you smarter???

People playing computer games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, new research suggests.

In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive skills didn't get any smarter.

Researchers recruited participants from viewers of the BBC's science show "Bang Goes the Theory." More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week.

They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn't play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet and answering general knowledge questions. All participants were given a sort of I.Q. test before and after the experiment.

Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn't do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. On some sections of the test, the people who surfed the Net scored higher than those playing the games.

The study was paid for by the BBC and published online Tuesday by the journal Nature.

"If you're (playing these games) because they're fun, that's absolutely fine," said Adrian Owen, assistant director of the Cognition and Brain Sciences unit at Britain's Medical Research Council, the study's lead author. "But if you're expecting (these games) to improve your I.Q., our data suggests this isn't the case," he said during a press briefing on Tuesday.

One maker of brain games said the BBC study did not apply to its products. Steve Aldrich, CEO of Posit Science, said the company's games, some of which were funded in part by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, have been proven to boost brain power.

"Their conclusion would be like saying, 'I cannot run a mile in under 4 minutes and therefore it is impossible to do so," Aldrich said in a statement.

Posit Science has published research in journals including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing their games improved memory in older people.

Computer games available online and marketed by companies like Nintendo that supposedly enhance memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work.

"There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world," said Art Kramer, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Illinois. He was not linked to the study and has no ties to any companies that make brain training games.

Kramer had several reservations about the BBC study's methodology and said some brain games had small effects in improving people's cognitive skills. "Learning is very specific," he said. "Unless the component you are trained in actually exists in the real world, any transfer will be pretty minimal."

Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can spark new connections between neurons and produce new brain cells. "Fitness changes the building blocks of the brain's structure," he said.

Still, Kramer said some brain training games worked better than others. He said some games made by Posit Science had shown modest benefits, including improved memory in older people.

Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they weren't fun.

"If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you don't get the answers very often and it really annoys you, then it may be useful," said Philip Adey, an emeritus professor of psychology and neuroscience at King's College in London.

If people are enjoying the brain games, Adey said they probably aren't being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game.

He said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really wanted to improve their brain power. "To stimulate the intellect, you need a real challenge," Adey said, adding computer games were not an easy shortcut. "Getting smart is hard work."

7 Rahasia Wanita... Is it true???

1. Harga asli lebih mahal
Jujur saja, wanita sangat menikmati acara belanja. Apalagi kebanyakan dari kaum wanita memang tak bisa menahan diri saat musim sale tiba. Sadar kebiasaan ini bisa memicu perdebatan dengan pasangan, banyak wanita yang memilih menyembunyikan harga sebenarnya dari barang-barang yang dibeli.

2. Sering memikirkan tentang seks
Bukan cuma pria yang suka memikirkan tentang seks, wanita juga, hanya bedanya yang ada dalam fantasi wanita adalah pasangannya. Sayangnya, di malam hari terkadang kaum hawa ini terlalu lelah dan kehabisan energi untuk mewujudkan fantasinya.

3. Takut komitmen
Memang benar bahwa wanita sering memimpikan pernikahan yang romantis, serba putih, dan bersanding dengan pangeran tampan. Tapi, wanita juga tak berbeda jauh dengan pria, mereka juga cemas dan takut saat memikirkan komitmen. Segala hal yang menimbulkan ketidak pastian memang membuat hati ragu. Apakah pria ini akan jadi suami yang baik, apakah pernikahan kami akan bahagia, dan sederet keraguan lainnya langsung hinggap di kepala saat membicarakan tentang pernikahan.

4. Tetap butuh bantuan
Wanita masa kini memang lebih modern dan mandiri, tapi bagaimana pun juga dalam hati kecil setiap wanita membutuhkan bantuan dan perlindungan dari pasangannya. Membetulkan mobil yang mogok, memiliki pengetahuan yang luas, atau sekadar membawakan tas, sudah membuat wanita merasa lebih feminin dan aman bersama si dia.

5. Ingin dicemburui
Rasanya setiap wanita ingin diperhatikan oleh pasangan dan sedikit dicemburui. Hal itu akan membuat wanita merasa menjadi orang yang dibutuhkan dan disayangi pasangannya. Itu sebabnya, saat ada pria lain memuji kecantikan, kami berharap pasangan mengetahuinya dan memperlihatkan rasa cemburu.

6. Curhat pada sahabat
Pada sahabat kita leluasa bercerita tentang berbagai hal, tapi tak semua hal dibuka begitu saja. Ada hal-hal tertentu yang tetap kami simpan sendiri terutama yang sifatnya sangat pribadi, misalnya kesedihan suami saat orangtuanya meninggal, dan sebagainya.

7. Suka pada hal-hal romantis
Setiap wanita pada dasarnya menyukai hal-hal yang romantis atau sesuatu yang bisa menimbulkan sensasi bahagia, seperti saat sedang jatuh cinta. Makanya, untuk mengulang sensasi jatuh cinta ini, kebanyakan wanita adalah penggemar film-film cinta atau komedi romantis.

Jangan Pakai Bra 24 Jam!!

Beberapa wanita percaya menyangga payudara secara terus menerus bisa menghindari payudara turun. Namun kebiasaan itu ternyata bisa memicu peningkatan suhu tubuh sekitar payudara yang lama-lama berisiko terkena kanker.

Dua ilmuwan Sydney Singer dan istrinya Soma Grismaijer pada tahun 1991 melakukan penelitian mengenai berapa lama waktu yang ideal untuk memakai penutup dada wanita atau bra?

Jawabannya ternyata kurang dari 12 jam. Wanita yang ingin menghindari kanker payudara harus memakai bra dalam waktu sesingkat mungkin, dan sebaiknya kurang dari 12 jam per hari.

Singer dan Grismaijer mempelajari kebiasaan memakai bra 4.500 wanita di lima kota di seluruh Amerika Serikat. Hasil studinya telah dipublikasikan dalam sebuah buku Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras.

Hasil studi menunjukkan wanita yang memakai bra selama 24 jam sehari berisiko paling tinggi terkena kanker payudara. Sedangkan wanita yang jarang memakai bra paling sedikit risikonya.

Perbandingan hasil studi tersebut menunjukkan:
  1. 3 dari 4 wanita yang memakai bra 24 jam per hari
  2. 1 dari 7 wanita yang memakai bra lebih dari 12 jam per hari, tetapi tidak menggunakannya saat tidur
  3. 1 dari 152 wanita yang memakai bra kurang dari 12 jam per hari
  4. 1 dari 168 wanita yang jarang atau bahkan yang tidak pernah memakai bra sama sekali

Jadi risiko wanita yang memakai bra selama 24 jam memiliki 125 kali lipat risiko terkena kanker payudara dibanding yang jarang memakai bra.

Waktu yang paling tepat untuk mengistirahatkan payudara dengan tanpa memakai bra adalah saat tidur. "Jangan tidur dengan bra," kata Sydney Singer, seperti dilansir dari chetday, Jumat (23/4/2010).

Memijat payudara disertai menarik napas panjang setiap kali melepas bra dapat memperlancar aliran getah bening dan mencegah berkembangnya kanker pada payudara.

Sistem limfatik pada payudara hanya berkembang sepenuhnya selama kehamilan dan menyusui, sehingga wanita yang memakai bra sehari-hari, menunda memiliki anak dan yang tidak menyusui dapat terkena risiko kanker payudara lebih tinggi.

Sekitar 75 persen wanita yang terkena kanker payudara sebenarnya tidak memiliki faktor risiko kanker. Hal ini memunculkan dugaan bahwa penggunaan bra yang tidak pas atau terus-terusan memakai bra merupakan faktor yang dapat menjelaskan hal tersebut.

Ukuran bra yang tidak tepat atau terlalu ketat dapat membantu pertumbuhan kanker di payudara. Karena bra yang salah dapat menghambat penetralan bahan kimia berbahaya dalam tubuh yang menyebabkan kanker. Dan sekitar 80 persen wanita menggunakan bra yang salah.

Alasan utama mengapa bra yang ketat dapat membahayakan kesehatan adalah karena bisa membatasi aliran getah bening di payudara. Normalnya, cairan getah bening mencuci bahan limbah dan racun lain, serta menjauhkannya dari payudara.

Menggunakan bra terlalu lama juga meningkatkan suhu jaringan payudara, dan wanita yang memakai bra memiliki kadar hormon prolaktin (hormon yang berfungsi merangsang kelenjar air susu) yang lebih tinggi. Kedua hal ini dapat mempengaruhi pembentukan kanker payudara.

Love me for a reason, let the reason be love....

Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall.

Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman, but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

It breaks your heart to see the one you love is happy with someone else, but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.


If love is the answer,
can you please repeat the question?

Faith makes all things possible.
Love makes them easy.

I believe that to truly Love, is the ultimate expression of the will to live. A heart that truly loves is forever young.

Love makes life so confusing, but without love would you really want to live?

Do you love me because I am beautiful
or am I beautiful because I am loved?

Love me now, love me never, but if you love me, love me forever.

Three things of life that are most valuable - Love, self-confidence & friends.

To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Love is like heaven, but it can hurt like hell.

Who do you turn to when the only person in the world that can stop you from crying, is exactly the one making you cry?

He taught me how to love,
but not how to stop.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is the most fatal.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

Many a young lady does not realize just how strong
her love for a young man is until he fails to pass the approval test with her parents.

Is it better for a woman to marry a man who loves her than a man she loves.

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says 'For the woman I love' and the second, 'For my best friend.'

A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.

No one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Love, true love, is that which can give the most without asking or demanding anything in return. ~ Mazie Hammond ~

Where there is love, there is God also.~ Leo Tolstoy ~

All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. ~ Leo Tolstoy ~

Love cures people -- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.~ Dr. Karl énage ~

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.~ Sophocles ~

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations. ~ Khalil Gibran ~

When they asked me what I loved most about life, I smiled and said you. ~ Tina ~

Just because you know someone doesn't mean you love them, and just because you don't know people doesn't mean you can't love them. You can fall in love with a complete stranger in a
heartbeat, if God planned that route for you. So open your heart to strangers more often. You never know when God will throw that pass at you.
~ Heather Grove ~

Love... What is love? Love is to love someone for who they are, who they were, and who they will be. ~ Chris Moore ~

Why do you say you love me, if you are only going to leave me? ~ Julia ~

Love is like a river, always changing, but always finding you again somewhere down the road. ~ Kelly Elaine ~

Love is a language spoken by everyone, but understood only by a heart. ~ Shirley Rindani ~

People need love even when they don't deserve it.~ Nikki Ledbetter ~

For every word you say, another piece of my heart you take.~ Tiara Johnson ~

Maybe God put a few bad people in your life, so when the right one came along you'd be thankful. ~ Andrea Kiefer ~

Love the heart that hurts you, But never hurt the heart that loves you.

Love me for a reason, let the reason be love.

It doesn't take a reason to love someone, but it does to like someone. You don't love someone because you want to, you love someone because you are destined too. It's because you fall in Love with them, that you then try to find a reason, but you always come up with the answer, No reason!

Love is the beginning of all the joy which nature has store for us.

Never say goodbye when you still want to try.
Never give up when you still feel you can take it.

Never say you don't love a person when you can't let go. ~ Dons ~

Say I love you and mean it, don't just say it cause you can.

When first we fall in love, we feel that we know all there is to know about life. And perhaps we are right.

Love can find an entrance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept.

Love unexpressed is a crime against the heart.

Listen to the love around you. Your ears are open even if your mind is closed.

Falling in love reminds you that nothing else matter...

Life is eternal. Love is immortal..

Sometimes it is a relief to fiend you are not in love

When you are in love with life nothing is to hard. Everything has freshness and reason, and all is as it is.

If you want to experience love, you have to take the risk. Love's always worth the risk.

Dream on do in pursuit of your dream. The dunes are changed by the wind but the desert never changes That's the way it will be with our love for each other. If I am part of your dream you'll come back one day.

"A mighty pain to love it is, and 'tis a pain that pain to miss; but of all the pains, the greatest pain is to love, but love in vain."

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction."

"Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies." -John Donne

"I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love."

"Tell me whom you love and I will tell you who you are."

"A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love." "There is no remedy for love but to love more." -Thoreau

"Love is hard work; and hard work sometimes hurts!"

"True love never dies for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away."

"You call it madness, but I call it love."

"If love is great, and there are no greater things, then what I feel for you must be the greatest."

When first we fall in love, we feel that we know all there is to know about life. And perhaps we are right.

"Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds."

Friday, I'm in Love!!

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine

AC bikin gemuk???

VIVAnews - Tanpa sadar kita menghabiskan sebagian waktu di dalam ruangan berpendingin udara atau air conditioner (AC). Mulai dari kantor, mobil, angkutan umur, pertokoan, hingga kamar tidur.

Kita sekadar mencari kenyamanan di tengah iklim tropis yang mudah membuat gerah. Tanpa peduli efek buruk di balik kenyamanan hawa dingin yang dihasilkan mesin penyejuk ruangan. Apa saja efek buruknya?

1. Gemuk

Sejumlah penelitian menguatkan tudingan bahwa suhu udara yang nyaman menjadi salah satu dari 10 penyebab utama kenaikan berat badan. Suhu udara yang nyaman seringkali membuat kita malas bergerak.

Minimnya aktivitas tubuh meniadakan pelepasan energi pembakaran lemak. Dalam jangka panjang, timbunan lemak akan terakumulasi dan memicu obesitas. Sebab itu, mereka yang terbiasa hidup di ruangan berpenyejuk ruangan disarankan memiliki jadwal rutin berolah raga untuk membakar lemak tubuh.

2. Sick Building Syndrom

Perbedaan suhu udara antara ruangan berpendingin udara dan luar ruang bisa mempengaruhi daya tahan tubuh. Beranjak ke ruang dingin dalam kondisi bercucur keringat usai melakukan aktivitas di bawah sinar matahari bisa mengakibatkan sakit kepala, lemas, sesak napas, bahkan sulit berkonsentrasi.

3. Penularan penyakit

Hampir semua ruang berpendingin udara minim ventilasi. Kondisi ini membuat sirkulasi udara tidak lancar dan hanya menghasilkan udara daur ulang. Saat salah satu penghuninya membawa virus, otomatis virus itu akan terperangkap di ruangan sehingga berpotensi menular ke penghuni lain dengan cepat.

4. Penuaan kulit

Mesin pendingin udara bekerja menurunkan temperatur udara dengan menangkap partikel-partikel air di udara untuk memproduksi hawa dingin. Kondisi ini secara tak langsung menurunkan kelembaban udara yang memicu masalah kulit kering.

Jika sebagian besar waktu kita habis di ruang berpendingin udara biasakan menggunakan pelembab ekstra untuk kulit. Kita harus memiliki trik untuk menjaga kelembaban kulit demi mempertahankan elastisitasnya

Berbagai efek buruk itulah yang kemudian dijadian acuan untuk mengembangkan teknologi pendingin udara yang lebih menyehatkan. Tak heran, jika kita sering melihat mesin pendingin udara yang menjanjikan perlindungan dari virus dan sebagainya.

Chinese Zodiac Horoscope in April

Many things will be happening to you in April over which you won't have control. Generally speaking, you are flexible and don't get too exercised when life starts playing tricks on you. But this particular month will be trying for Monkeys. The Tiger's helter skelter influence is unsettling. Don't panic. You are the type of person who manages to wriggle his or her way out of most any scrape. You're stronger than you look and your sense of humor helps you to keep reversals in perspective.

What tricks am I threatening here? For starters, your job ambiance in uncomfortable. Either a boss or a co-worker keeps trying to stop you from advancing your ideas.

For Monkeys, whose job in life is to solve problems, this sort of resistance is beyond frustrating. You don't care to be the boss. But you do need to be respected for your skills. So trick number one is work environment sticky.

Further, in the first half of April, your main squeeze (if you have one) will be ultra dissatisfied about something that you cannot change or fix. Much grousing will be heard. Grin and bear it.

If you don't have someone in your domestic life, this is not likely to be the month you will find a suitable mate. You will be able to take a few moments for a fling. But you will know going in that it won't work out long term.

To make things more interesting, on the 18th we enter a period of Mercury retrograde which means everything electronic and mechanical starts crumping out. Deals do not get made. People break their promises. It gets so bad sometimes that whenever you answer the phone there is never anyone there. Mercury retrograde lasts until May 11. Don't sign anything binding till it's over.

To weather the storms of April 2010, Monkeys should amuse themselves. Learn some new jokes. Take juggling lessons. Go to an improve class. Attend comedy shows. Read funny books. May does look a lot better for you. Meanwhile, no matter what they say or do to bring you down, when you stalk out ... always leave 'em laughing.

My Horoscope from MSN (Gemini)

General:
Today can be a relaxing day, provided you make the necessary effort to deal with material constraints, Gemini. You would like nothing better than to spend much of the day planning fun activities for the future. But, alas, demands from your family, friends, or boss force you to concentrate on the here and now instead. Still, don't abandon your wonderfully pleasing ambitions altogether.

Love:
You may find it all too easy to lose your patience as everyone around you, including your lover, seems to have lost their marbles and most of their brain, as well. The position of the heavenly bodies implies mistakes and misunderstandings, and plenty of them. Don't react to an apparent insult, as it probably wasn't meant. And if it was, you couldn't be sure of that either, so keep cool!

Semua baik-baik saja....

Hati-hati dengan permintaanmu...bila permintaan itu dikabulkan dan tidak sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan maka bersiaplah dengan resikonya dan hadapi dengan senyummu, tapi bila permintaan itu sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan maka bersyukurlah...

"Relationships are like....."

What are relationships like to you???

"Relationships are like a game of chess. It's important to try and keep the relationship pleasant and conflict free. So, just like when you're carefully choosing each move in a game of chess, picking your words and actions carefully in relationships is vital to your success. Also like chess, close relational bonds are tricky and can be difficult to understand. However, as your relationship grows (or as you play chess more often) it becomes much easier and you become more comfortable interacting with your partner (or more comfortable playing chess)."

"Relationships are like a game of football. Sometimes you need to be on the offense, while other times you need to play defense in order to become a great team. Like a football team, romantic relationships also take time to build trust and unity. There isn't a single football team that comes together and wins all of their games without a great deal of practice. Likewise, all relationships start from scratch. You try different techniques, make mistakes, learn from them, and grow stronger just like a winning football team."

"Relationships are like riding a roller coaster. They have their high points and their low points, but they're always a lot of fun."

"Relationships are like a new pair of shoes. When you first get a new pair of high heels, they can be really uncomfortable. But, the more and more you wear those shoes, the more comfortable you become in them. Also, like relationships, most people can decide whether they are going to wear those shoes ever again after 1 or 2 tries."

"Relationships are like chocolate chip cookies. In order for them to be successful, you need the correct ingredients. One wrong measurement or missed ingredient, and the cookie is not as good. Even if you have made some mistakes in the recipe, however, you still have a chocolate chip cookie, just not a very good one. So, like building relationships, making yummy cookies requires that you pay attention to the rules and give them enough of your time and effort."

Few lessons about relationship
  • Relationships don't just happen overnight; they take time.
  • Relationships aren't easy; but instead, they're actually hard work.
  • Relationships have rules; and breaking these rules can sometimes hurt a relationship.
  • Relationships are comprised of specific components that make them successful.

Jatuh Cinta...

Jadi inget lagu: jatuh cinta..berjuta rasanya....

Tapi ternyata cinta itu tidak seindah seperti yang dikira karena 'keputusan' untuk jatuh cinta bisa menimbulkan berbagai resiko, well setidaknya itu yang sedang kualami.
Perjalanan cinta kami tidaklah semudah membalikan telapak tangan, jatuh cinta trus jadian... karena ada beberapa hal/situasi di sekeliling kami (atau aku) yang cukup complicated but hey when I decided, everything is going smoothly... maybe not that smoothly kalau dari cara pandang orang lain. I learned which one is a true friend and which one is not, I learned a lot how to make a relationship with them and then of course I learned how to know myself better and people around me... What a life! I really enjoying and grateful to Almighty God :-)

Pilihan atau Kesempatan???

Ketika kita bertemu orang yang tepat untuk dicintai, Ketika kita berada di tempat pada saat yang tepat, Itulah kesempatan.Ketika kita bertemu dengan seseorang yang membuatmu tertarik, Itu bukan pilihan, itu kesempatan.

Bertemu dalam suatu peristiwa bukanlah pilihan, Itupun adalah kesempatan.

Bila kita memutuskan untuk mencintai orang tersebut, Bahkan dengan segala kekurangannya, Itu bukan kesempatan, itu adalah pilihan.

Ketika kita memilih bersama dengan seseorang walaupun apapun yang terjadi, Itu adalah pilihan.

Bahkan ketika kita menyadari bahwa masih banyak orang lain Yang lebih menarik, lebih pandai, lebih kaya daripada pasanganmu

Dan tetap memilih untuk mencintainya, Itulah pilihan.

Perasaan cinta, simpatik, tertarik, Datang bagai kesempatan pada kita. Tetapi cinta sejati yang abadi adalah pilihan. Pilihan yang kita lakukan.

Kita mungkin kebetulan bertemu pasangan jiwa kita, Tetapi mencintai dan tetap bersama pasangan jiwa kita, Adalah pilihan yang harus kita lakukan.

Kita ada di dunia bukan untuk mencari seseorang yang sempurna untuk dicintai TETAPI untuk belajar mencintai orang yang tidak sempurna dengan cara yang sempurna.

Bukan BERAT beban yang membuat kita stress, tetapi LAMAnya kita memikul beban tersebut (Stephen Covey)

Copy from a friend about how to copy with our stress:

Pada saat memberikan kuliah tentang Manajemen Stress, Stephen Covey mengangkat segelas air dan bertanya kepada para siswanya: “Menurut anda, kira-kira seberapa beratnya segelas air ini?”

Para siswa menjawab mulai dari 200 gr sampai 500 gr. “Ini bukanlah masalah berat absolutnya, tapi tergantung berapa lama anda memegangnya.” kata Covey.

“Jika saya memegangnya selama 1 menit, tidak ada masalah. Jika saya memegangnya selama 1 jam, lengan kanan saya akan sakit. Dan jika saya memegangnya selama 1 hari penuh, mungkin anda harus memanggilkan ambulans untuk saya. Beratnya sebenarnya sama, tapi semakin lama saya memegangnya, maka bebannya akan semakin berat.”

“Jika kita membawa be ban kita terus menerus, lambat laun kita tidak akan mampu membawanya lagi. Beban itu akan meningkat beratnya.” lanjut Covey. “Apa yang harus kita lakukan adalah meletakkan gelas tersebut, istirahat sejenak sebelum mengangkatnya lagi”. Kita harus meninggalkan beban kita secara periodik, agar kita dapat lebih segar dan mampu membawanya lagi.

Jadi sebelum pulang ke rumah dari pekerjaan sore ini, tinggalkan beban pekerjaan. Jangan bawa pulang. Beban itu dapat diambil lagi besok. Apapun beban yang ada dipundak anda hari ini, coba tinggalkan sejenak jika bisa.Setelah beristirahat nanti dapat diambil lagi.

Hidup ini singkat, jadi cobalah menikmatinya dan memanfaatkannya …! Hal terindah dan terbaik di dunia ini tak dapat dilihat, atau disentuh, tapi dapat dirasakan jauh di relung hati kita.

Start the day with smile and have a good day……..
