If the place is good, then I will survive.

If God’s supports, then I will succeed.

Hug her like you always do

Stay by her side no matter what

She needs someone to comfort her

She needs someone to love her

and that person is not me…

Talking about emotions and logic, especially in relationships between guys and girls, the term I usually understand is that

“… emotion will poison your logic …”

as a thing to watch out…

But today during a chat, another term is discussed which is

“… watch out when logic will poison your emotion…”

…

and I feel it’s quite true. I tend to forget the 2nd one and focus one the 1st one. Actually the truth is that both emotion and logic are there to balance each other out. 

So watch out, sometimes your emotion is not the one to blame and watch out for what might be the poison to your decisions.

“Terima kasih buat mama yang sudah melahirkan aku 20 tahun yang lalu, dan sudah susah payah menanggung sejak 9 bulan sebelumnya.

Terima kasih juga buat papa yang sudah memberikan benih dan merawat aku sampai aku tumbuh besar seperti sekarang ini.

Terima kasih, I’m really grateful” - adapted from an sms.

It was actually the time when the name “wise protector” is given to a certain person, which is then passed on to the name of this blog.

People like to say things like:

“If I could turn back time I would do this….”
“If I could turn back time I would do that…”
“If I could turn back time I would rather do this than do that…”
“If I could turn back time I won’t choose this…”
and so on and so forth.

There are many reasons, however for them to saying those lines. Reasons such as “It would be much more better” or “Things won’t be as bad as now…”. Basically, Hope for a better life and Regret.

Whatever the reasons are, for me, I don’t think I would wish to turn back time and change things. Not that I don’t have any regret or not that I had never do any mistake, it’s just that in my opinion, there are things we know as consequences. It’s true that by choosing A instead of B, our life path might have been better. However sometimes we overlook the consequences of choice A in that it might have events that we might not like.

For example, if after I finished my high school I chose to go to stay in Indonesia rather than Singapore, my lifestyle would be different, I might be able to stay close with my old friends, my families, I might be able to drive better than I do now, etc. However, I might have never know those wonderful new friends in Singapore, I might not have the experience of studying abroad, I might have never fall in love with a person from other nationality, my spiritual life might not be as mature as I am now.

I always think it this way. In a parallel universe, there’s another Re (author) who chose A instead of B (the one I chose) living in the world which results as the choice he made. And that person might be saying “I wish I had chose B instead of A”.

Made me feels like going and visit all of those parallel universe, visiting all those countless worlds which resulted from all those countless choices that I ever had, wondering how I would be doing on those world. BUT still, I will stick to my believe that all the things that happened into my life, none are accident, and it’s the best that could happen to me. And thus, life live to the fullest, learn from the past, live the present and look forward to the future =)

Just swam after a long time I’ve never gone to a swimming pool.

I feel that it’s very nice. Considering the buoyancy force exerted into the body which is equal to the weight of water displaced by my body, the relative body weight is reduced. Therefore, the body feels lighter and burden are lifted up.

Since that before humans are born, they literally “lived” in water, it’s just natural that all baby can swim (clarification needed). Unfortunately as time goes, they grow older, they learned how to walk and learned how to live on land, they started to “forget” their experience under water. And here goes the money for all the swimming teacher.

Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd August 2007 was the 2nd and 3rd day of MAE Week. Here, we had a game where I took part as the organizer.

During one of the challenges that we pose to the contestants, we provide a food that (most ppl said) had a very strong smell that may even trigger some people to vomit.

Strangely, I didn’t find it that bad (or that strong). As in, it’s smelly, but it’s not THAT smelly.

Dunno, it came across my mind that maybe… my sense of smell is not that sensitive.

Or maybe… I just have a stronger mind? =p

lately, I’ve been thinking a lot of my own imperfectness. Not that I’ve only realized I’m imperfect. No no, I’ve known it all along that I’m just an imperfect human. But sadly lately I’ve been focusing too much on what I don’t have rather than what I have.

- SPOILER WARNING! - 

He is the main antagonist of the recent sequel of Die Hard – Die Hard 4.0, “Live Free or Die Hard”.

As an antagonist and terrorist it is ‘logical’ that at first he posed a threat then ppl fight back (esp. the hero) then in the end he died or get arrested. But a point to note is the reason for his doing.

At first he is working for the government. And as an expert in his field, he ‘warned’ the government that US’ security system is flawed and ‘wide-open’ for others (remember, this is based on the movie, I dunno how the real thing is at the moment XD). He showed this by hacking into the security system only by his laptop (again this is only in the movie :p). The government, either because they see this guy as a threat (if he decided to announce the holes to public) or merely because they are prideful and don’t want to acknowledge their flaw (or this guy’s skills), decided to ‘crucifix’ this guy, destroying all his reputation.

As a revenge, he decided to launch the terrorism that we can see in the movie.

The moral of the story is, sometimes we judge people to be bad without really understanding the whole situation. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t say this guy is bad – He is bad, in the sense that he decided to ‘respond’ to how people treated him in the past by doing bad things – instead of forgiving them or whatsoever blah blah. But maybe the final doing itself is a result of a chain reaction, which we ourselves have our part in it.

So let’s just do good things, treat people well and wisely, live with all the good values and make the world a happier place to live in =D (ga nyambung terakhirnya =p)

“Yos, gw suka gaya lu! =D” translated to “Yos, I like your style! =D”

It came across my mind, a conversation that we (a group of friends from different backgrounds) had during a stormy night that locked us inside the building…

One of us just broke up with a girlfriend of his. The reason is that they are from different religion, and thinking of the future that they may had together, the girl decided to broke up before it’s too late – while there are no deep emotional attachment yet (and probably physical?)

Then he asked us a question…

“from your point of view – or your religion’s point of view, why shouldn’t you get married with someone not from the same belief? If you really love him/her why shouldn’t you just marry him/her?”

…

a minute of thinking…

…

and one of us answered…

“well, maybe from what we believe and understand, there’s this place we know as an afterlife where the souls of those saved will meet – yes, only those saved.
And say when we are married with someone that we could say, not saved, how could we say there’s love in it when we don’t even care for their soul?”

…

Well…. not really answering the question I guess ^_^;; But anyway it made me think through it…

          So, what’s your answer for this question? =)

Note:
Actually I am hoping to get answers from people of different backgrounds and beliefs, but I’m not sure with my current circle of friend - or blog reader I could get such answers :P

Disclaimer:
1. The actual conversation might not be exactly the same
2. I don't want to get married yet >.< , as for now at least =p
