HalloHalloween

BOO! xD

And by the way, do you believe in ghost?

International Cultural Center, Pandaan

You want to take a break, just want to run away from traffic, want to go on a long ride, you don't have to think twice to decide where to go. There is no better place than International Cultural Center, Pandaan. ICC is a cultural center that is quite unique, combining culture and nature, suits its location which is located in a scenic agricultural area in Pandaan, East Java. ICC is dedicated to promote two-fold mission: environmental awareness and the international exchange of culture, art, and music. What to do there? We can enjoy walk around beautiful garden, swim, and horseback ride. You'll be amazed by the architecture because Clouds Clouds Clouds are everywhere, you are very much in the middle of them if you go to the second floor. It's like the window side view when you are traveling in the plane, but the big difference is you are out there and you can feel them. Honestly I don’t have words to express the wonderful view I witnessed there. Check out the picture that will say it all (too bad I didn't look presentable that time)

It was very hot up there, and I don’t think you can stay up there for more then 30 mins, you'll get sweaty like I was. The best time I would say is between 4-6pm, when the sun wasn't "harsh" anymore.

The Italian Restaurant, Prego

This place is not popular, well I couldn't find a lot of people there.

Shake it off!

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to get out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more, give more, give more.

5. Expect less from people but more from God.

You have two choices: smile and close this page, or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson. God bless us :)

Reason of loving

My boyfriend once asked me why I loved him. I didn’t have a ready answer for him, so I told him, “I don’t know baby. I can’t explain it. All I know is I really do love you”. He said, “Okay”. I bit my lip, and wondered if he was disappointed with my answer. His face showed no sign.

After that, I said to myself, I’ve got to come up with reasons why I love him! I thought of my boyfriend and tried to think what I really loved about him. He’s a great guy. He’s someone everyone will love. He’s cute, has a great smile, the kind that makes you smile back in return when you see him. His sense of humor is amazing. He’s friendly and fun to be around. He’s talented and sexy, and sweet, and thoughtful.

I’ve tried to come up with a hundred reasons why, and believe me, I was able to come up with around 76 reasons! But when I scanned through what I’ve written, I realized, I’m pretty sure there are other people in this world who have the same qualities as he does, great smile, great personality, good sense of humor. So if it all comes down to this list of “why do I love him’s”, does it mean that I should love these other people too?

That’s when I realized, love really doesn’t need any reason. It just is. I can’t tell him “I love you because you have a great smile”. So many people have great smiles, but why HIM? I can’t say I love him just because he has a good heart. A lot of people are kind hearted as well, but why HIM?

I guess it really is true, love moves in mysterious ways. And I can list a whole bunch of reasons why I love him, but that really doesn’t sum it all up. Doesn’t even come close. Because I know that even if I eliminate the items on my list one by one, I will still love him. And I don’t need a hundred reasons to explain why.

I sent him that list. When he finished reading it, he hugged me and told me, “Thanks baby”. I looked him in the eye, and told him. “Baby, I love you for all those reasons I listed. But you know what, I really don’t need all these to prove anything to you. All I need is what’s inside me to know that I love you and you’re the reason why I’m happy. You are my life. You may share some of these qualities with other people, but for me, you’re one of a kind. The man that I love. And I don’t need a reason for that.”
Yes, we don’t need reasons to love.

Best I could do

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

"Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here, my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa"

♥

A few days later, he received a letter from his son.

"Dear Papa, Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie"
♥

At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

"Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie"
