Love Your Mother!!

Some of us teenagers might not be able to appreciate our mothers, the ones who raised us since we were a baby. But, after reading this story I hoped you'll be inspired.

Mother’s Love In Silence
I hate my mom. She only had an eye. She’s embarrassing me. She worked in my school for our needs. That day she came to my class and greet me. I’m very embarrassed. So, I ran away. The next day, all my friends teased me. When I went home, I shouted to her, “If you only want me to be teased, why don’t you just die”! That time, I’m really mad at her.
I ran away from home and don’t communicate with her at all. I studied really hard and received a scholarship to study in a Singapore university. I got married,have kids and live a happy life. Until one day, my mom came to Singapore to see me. My kids were very afraid when they see her. I shouted, “What are you doing here? You only scare the kids”! She’s very shocked and say, “Forgive me, maybe I got to the wrong address”.
The next year, one of my relatives told me that my mom's dead, and he sent me a letter from her. The letter's quite like this;
Dear Joe,
I'm sorry about what happened last year. I'm sorry that I have scared your kids. I wanted you to know that when you're a kid, you had an accident and lost an eye. I didn't want you to suffer, so I gave you one of my eye. I wanted you to know that I really loved you.
Mom
When I read it, tears started to fall on my cheeks. I wanted to apologize to her, but it was too late. What I could do now is to appreciate and love all the ones I knew for her sake.

So, what do you think? Our mom really loved us, and because of that, I really wanted you all to love her as much as she loved you.

Energy ; It's Time to Get REAL!!!!

CRUDE CRISIS ; SAVE CRUDE NOW!! DO IT OR DIE!!!!!!!!!

It’s basically a crisis on crude oil. News always said that the supply of crude oil is going downhill, while the demand is going uphill! What? Then how can we use crude oil in the future? Think of it!
Some of the people would just say “I don’t care” or “Whatever” But take a look at this, before you said anything further.


Cool huh? So when we’re dead (maybe) the crude’s gonna be gone!! No more oils. That’s just a prediction. What if it’s actually much more dangerous? No one have ever really think of it! I had been doing a small research with Beatrice about it. Who is she? Yeah, I totally forgot you didn’t know her. She’s my best friend. We looked for some answers to this problem, and we actually find some answers!! We called this research as “Energy;It’s Time To Get Real!!!!”. Scientists all over the world, including here in Indonesia had found some new energies, which seemed quite interesting.

Here's what you can do :
So, the conclusion is:
1. Turn off all electrical appliances when not in use
2. USE ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES! NO MORE CRUDE OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Ride bicycles or just walk to near places

and one more thing, remember that the future itself lies in our hands.....

Follow Your Dreams!

People first thought of dreams as what we did when sleeping. In movies, dreams in sleeps DO COME TRUE!
But actually, there is another meaning behind dream itself. It could actually mean what we really hoped to do, or achieve. But, the dream itself didn't just follow us, we need to go for it. If we only have faith in our dreams, than the faith itself is dead! Faith must be accompanied with action, this way our dreams could be achieved. But it's not that easy!
When we wanted to achieve our dreams, there will be many adversities that we need to face, and also many choices we need to make. They are not easy, and they could lead us to giving up. But still, if we wanted to achieve our dreams, we need to endure those troubles and follow our dreams.
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”
Martin Luther King
That famous quote thought me that even in the darkest point of life, where there is not even a light guiding us, when we followed our dreams, we could still achieve it.
And remember, "Winners never quit! Quitters never win...."

GRAND CANYON SKYWALK?? INTERESTING!!!!!

HEY!!!!!!!! I got something intersting here, check it out!
When I mentioned the word skywalk, you guys are going to say something like “What’s up with that?” or “How could you walk the sky?” That’s what I first thought of. Are we supposed to ride a helicopter or hot air balloon and then fly using a parachute? That’s like CRAZY! But it’s really cool!! Skywalking? Maybe like flying? But all my thoughts are completely WRONG!! (No lucky guesses huh? ‘Coz this is one answer I could never think of). Obviously, everyone knows what the Grand Canyon is. It’s like a big canyon a few kilometers from Las Vegas. The “Skywalk” experience was like a big glass bridge (Don’t think of that glass used to make your window. Think of a giant, thick and super cool glass that could weigh a full loaded airplane). The glass bridge lies across the canyon, and as it is see-through we could see EVERYTHING from there.

Dude it was like flying!!!!! That was cool!
Check out this picture!
So, I guess that's all for now.. BYE!!

Friendship – Who's a Best Friend???


Hey!  Wonder who’s a real best friend? Check this out!
I’m uploading this as a request from eveline........ Who is she? She’s a best friend of mine, and I could really call her a best friend. Wanna know a little more about friendship? Read this post!!
Your best friend should be somebody that you can trust one hundred percent. You should be able to confide in them knowing that they will not spread your news to other people. How many times have told a friend a piece of personal information and have then asked them not to tell anybody else about it? The sheer fact that you had to ask them not to tell other people should tell you that they are not best friend material.
All of us have stages of our life when we really need a friend. We may be in trouble, we may have done a terrible deed, what we require in this situation is somebody to support us, listen to our problems, offer advice, possibly a room to spend the night but most of all not to judge us. We all make mistakes; after all we are all human. A best friend will offer all of these things, without hesitation.
We all need somebody to be able to phone from time to time, just for a chat, somebody who will make us laugh and ultimately happy. We all need to have the odd night out, perhaps at the cinema, perhaps to go for a drink or perhaps to go to the theatre. A best friend will be the person to call and will make time for us in these situations.
A best friend will not stab you in the back by attempting to steal your boy/girlfriend, they will not spread rumours about you, you should be able to trust them with your life.
Does your best friend have the qualities mentioned above? If the answer is no, this does not mean that you need to dump this person totally, it merely means that you should not be regarding them as a best friend.
PS : Don’t just laugh because of the 2nd last paragraph of this post about stealing boyfriend and girlfriend, as that’s just an addition.
But anyway, hope it’s useful! BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
