Love has No End

No Wonder that a man and a woman could fall in love each other at the first sight. Attractive person with good-looking in physic being one of many interesting factors. But I do convince that most individuals get easily disappointed whenever a person with a very good-looking has bad personality. That is true if we are always considered as someone attractive in the viewpoint of our partner.

You do not love a woman because she is beautiful but she is beautiful because you love her (Unknown Quotes). This quote remains me how I could finally in love with a guy, that is not too good-looking but he has great personality. He shows me that he has real love for me. He is not a guy with lots of romantic words, but just to prove his love in action. Action is certainly more valuable than words. Action has always its rewards.

The true and real love of a guy who loves me very much -- to whom I get married -- could open up my mind and my heart. I am proud to be loved and to be also the priority in his heart, in his life. A woman just need to be loved by a man. Unfortunately, in the first years of my marriage I found any troubles associated with several persons around me that said something bad about my beloved husband. Be honest, I am not a woman with the heart of gold, I was so upset whenever they said I marry wrong guy. They thought my husband did not have "good taste" in fashion, bad-clothing, and bad manner.

It was actually not serious problem, but so disturbing in our relationship. However I was not wise if I decided to break up my loving relationship because of a very simple thing. I had to overcome my problem and try to find out solutions by getting some guidance articles. I read articles related to how to maintain and sustain our marriage. I realize that nobody's perfect, also my husband and me,
Love never claims, it ever gives, love ever suffers, never resents, never revenges itself. (Mahatma Gandhi). I must to keep up my husband and he needed very much my supports. I believe with the power of love. Love could change the World. As said in the lyrics of Michael Jackson's song "Heal the World", ...Love's enough for us growing..make a better place, make a better World.

I got excellent advice that we can change the simple thing as like, bad clothing, but we can not ever change annoying habits associated with basic characters such as: deceiving, selfishness, high-tempered, betrayal and so on. I helped my husband to choose good fashions, in order to be more attractive and best-clothing. With patience, I could change him become "new person" certainly with good-looking performance. I could get success in maintaining my loving relationship with mutual care, mutual respect and mutual understanding.

Great People, Great Personality

Going abroad in 2002, became the first amazing experience of my long journey. Landing in John F. Kennedy, New York International airport, I got little shocked because of very stricted bureaucracy of the JFK airport immigration officer. It's a logic consequence, the United States Govt did not want to take any risk of security after the tragedy of World Trade Center bombing.

A little of anxiety disappeared whenever I discovered very memorable experience of local customs, culture, delicious products of food, tallest buildings with ultra-modern architecture, and many more. It's happened on me such as culture-shocked.

Visiting United Nations Building, and then Empire States Building that is considered as one of the highest skyscraper building in the World, it would be so amazing. Traveling to another states, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Orlando brought me to satisfaction of journey. It took me to sophisticated modern cities, dozens of family attractions, restaurants, modern hotels and shops. It is very interesting itinerary and unforgettable trip.

I do not want to talk about the United States Govt's foreign policy, such as the political statement of the Former president George W Bush that sometimes lead to controversy in World community. I am not concerned at all about political issues. I am deeply appreciated in American civilians that according to my opinion, most of them have great personality. As a visitor, I recognized them as warm and nice people. At that time when going walk in Mall, I almost fell because of slippery floor, immediately a very gentle man came toward me and said: "Are you okey?". I was so impressed with him. He is a man with respectable behavior. It shows he has valuable ethics.
Another day, I lost my way and I asked for help to someone I met. With pleasure he showed me the way to return to my hotel. It is an excellent example that we have to follow and should not be ignored. I get many ethics lessons after traveling to USA. It opens my eyes that many civilians of USA could be great people, with ability to empathize and take care about anyone else's circumstances.

We can draw something good from this ethics lesson, it might be best reference for "what to do" whenever we meet foreigners. I have taken an educational trip by bringing home very nice souvenirs. The valuable ethics are undeniably impressive in my viewpoint.

The cynical opinion about selfishness of western people, I think it is unfair adjustment. Western people might be concerned very much in others' privacy, but it does not mean they are selfish or anti-social. Great people with great personality, we could be also like them..

It is too hard to say Thank you..Why?


As usual, every morning we wake up and realize we still breathe. God still gives us the opportunity to enjoy life and go on living. Expression of thanks to God, or in the other word, to be grateful to Him, is a must for us as human-being. Breathing, is just like a very simple thing, but without God 's blessings, certainly we can not breathe freely. It is so priceless, and hence it is worthy to all of us to be grateful to God, the Almighty.

Once again, breathing, it seems like something trivial, and sometimes we can not acknowledge what it is a very priceless wealth. Health is the best wealth, we knew it. Letting us reflect this. There are a lot of sicks hospitalized, they often can not breathe freely, need oxygen from respiratory aids. Perhaps it requires a big amount of funds. If we are in good health, we have not to pay to God for breathing. It is so amazing! It is unreasonable if we deny all that God has given to all of us.

In social life, whenever we interact with others, we also often receive many aids or helps from friends or neighbors. However, is it too hard to say thank you to them? Then, why? To say Thank you to others, it does not need money to do that. So wondered if certain people have any "handicaps" just doing that very simple thing. It might be they are real arrogant, so they like underestimate to another. We acknowledge that there are also many uneducated people, so they did not know about ethics. Politeness and other ethics lost its value, anyway.

We ever go to supermarket and sometimes we had been little disappointed whenever we are not well served by employees or cashiers. It is too hard for them to say thank you. They did not give any satisfactions to buyers or customers. Certainly, in the other time, we do not want be back to shop there. We are not well impressed because of that.

Today the values of ethics, as like politeness, and other good manner or attitude have been greatly reduced and might be ignored by the current generations. Whatever its reason, it is hard to say Thank you, that manner is absolutely unrespectable.


Basically, everyone wants to be well appreciated by another. But if we want that, we should first do the same thing to others. The bad manner, as like too hard to say thank you, should not been highly recommended in friendship, neighborhood, or other kinds of people socializing. It indicates worst personality. The wise people always do small thing with great value. Just a simple thing to do. We should easily say Thank you to others who give us help or attention. Getting start to do that from now on.....

Blogging, My Enjoyable Activity

Most people do their jobs for earning money, no hesitation about it. Getting paid is the most reasonable thing for us to be a worker, unless this field for social activity. As a beginner in writing or blogging, I try to work hard become a good writer. I get lucky, I am surrounded by good friends who awaken my spirit become a blogger. But I also motivate myself by learning more, browsing to many websites in order to be more knowledgeable.
Previously, I want to find out what professional writers' suggestions for the beginners. Sharon Hurley Hall, a freelancer said, "In addition to writing or blogging I also spend my time reading blogs, maintaining my sites, checking out new advertisers, researching and promoting our sites or blog posts. All these are essential tasks for a writing business...".(Source: WWW.Sharonhh.com).
All suggestions make me more interesting in writing. I never let many ideas slip out from my minds, and try to write it down into articles. I spend 8-9 hours in front my laptop, but I realize that English is the first obstacle I face, because this is not my mother tongue.
Each person could empower himself by great talent he has. For most beginners in writing, the problem actually to get start. It seems too difficult to start in blogging but it is easier for the next steps. If you have started to blog, it is easier to continue. It is just like whenever people try to ride bicycle, previously, he often falls down, but if he starts to try again and again, he could be in balance and finally he has no obstacle anymore.
Most academics do not face significantly handicaps and they are able to immediately write down their thoughts into article. It is different with them, I find many difficulties, but I have no reason to give up. Nowadays, I only create two articles a month. I hope I will be a good and productive blogger. I do not deny that I want someday to get paid of this work. Money is the most important instrument for living cost, it might be for monthly groceries or other human being need of life. Eventhough, I do not get yet paid from this work, I think this is my interesting and enjoyable activity. I get big satisfaction whenever I could write down many thoughts of my mind. Maybe I get a such of chatarsis. In the term of Phylosophy, chatarsis means the expression of human nature emotions, it could be a sadness, hapiness, or an extreme changes of emotions, that become a cause of people life's innovation (source: cerita-kita.com). I expect so much I could keep consistency in blogging. The familiar rythme, "new brooms sweep clean", may not be applicable in this case.

What's in a Name..?

We have been so famiiar with William Shakespeare quotes: "What's in a name". The Masterpiece of playwright William Shakespeare is Romeo and Juliet. The tragic romance story of two young who loves each other but they could not transcend easily the difference background of their family.
Romeo and Juliet are doomed from the start as members of two warring families. Here Juliet tells Romeo that is an artificial and meaningless convention, and that she loves the person who is called "Montague", not the Montague Family. Romeo, out of his passion for Juliet, rejects his family name and vows, as Juliet asks, to "deny" (his) father and instead be "new baptized" as Juliet's lover. This one short line encapsulates the central struggle and tragedy of the play.(Source:eNote.com)
As we know, all parents named their children with good and meaningful name. Certainly they do that with great expectation for their generations. The parents hope their children would be a good and useful person. In business, the name of a certain product could effect significantly to the public trust. In the term of business, it is called branding. This is the most important thing for getting trust of public, and producers expect it will be marketable and prospective.
In my personal life, my parents named me with, according to most of my friends, a very unique one. I am so wondered, whenever I met new friends, they always ask me a strange question: "Where are you from? Your name is so unique..?". Then, I am very curious to know how many people who has the same name with mine.. I want to find out by searching in Facebook. The Results of my searching make me surprised..there are 152 persons come from many countries whose name are the same with mine. For exemple, a young girl from United States named Bianca Pipien Jackson. A man from French, Jean-Louis Pipien. A woman from French, Francise Pipien. Sven Pipien, is a musician best-known from Hannover Germany. And many others which I could not tell one by one in this site.
However, I believe that my parents give me a good name, certainly a meaningful and hopeful one. I must be proud and thankful with this. I have responsibility to realise good expectation of my parents. Now I want to be a good blogger, by hoping someday I will be a productive writer. I must get best chance to big success...Why not?
