No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
God didn’t promise days with days without pain, laughter without sorrow.
Sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day.
Comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Disappointments are like road humps, they slow you.
Dawn a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
Don’t stay on the humps too long. Move on!
When you feel down because you didn’t get what you want.
Just sit tight and be happy.
Because God has thought of something better to give you.
When something happens to you, good or bad,
Consider what it means. There’s a purpose to life’s events.
To teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard
You can’t make someone love you,
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to the person to realize your worth.
It’s better to lose your pride to the one you love
Than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend too much time looking for the right person to
Love or finding fault with those we already love
When instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
Never abandon an old friend,
You will never find one who can take his place.
Friendship is like wine,
It gets better as it grows older.

GOD ALWAYS ANSWERS YOUR PRAYERS
When the idea is not right God says ‘NO’
NO – when the idea is not the best
NO – when the idea is absolutely wrong
NO – when though it may help you,it could create problems for someone else
When the time is not right, God says, ‘SLOW’
What a catastrophe it would be if God answered every prayer at the snap of your fingers
Do you know what would happen? God would become your servant, not your master
Suddenly, God would be working for you instead of you working for God
Remember: GOD’s DELAYS are not GOD’s DENIALS.
God’s timing is perfect. Patience is what we need in prayer
When you are not right, God says ‘GROW’
The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness
The cautious person must grow in courage
The timid person must in confidence
The dominating person must grow in sensitivity
The critical person must grow in tolerance
The negative person must grow in positive attitudes
The pleasure-seeking person must grow in compassion for suffering people
When everything is all right, God says ‘GO’
Then miracles happen,
A hopeless alcoholic is set free
A drug addict finds release
A doubter becomes as a child in his belief
Diseased tissue responds to treatment and healing begins
The door to your dream suddenly swings open and there stands God saying ‘GO’
By Dr. Robert Schuller
If the Lord has you on hold... hold on!
If the Lord said 'NO' to ... thank Him!If the Lord is molding your heart and mind... go with His change!If the Lord opens doors that you have asking Him to open ... Praise Him!
Be blessed whatever you are in your life today! God has His hands on the situation!

WEEKEND @ KEPULAUAN SERIBU
After some emails through facebook, we decided to have a weekend at Kepulauan Seribu.. Kepulauan Seribu can be translated as Thousand Islands. Thousand Islands is Marine National Park, that are scattered in the Java Sea about North of Jakarta. Thousand Islands is divided into 2 subdistricts, North and South Thousand Islands. North Thousand Island i.e. Pramuka Island, Panggang Island, Kelapa Island. South Thousand Island i.e. Tidung Island, Pari Island, Untung Jawa Island.
1st day - MUARA ANGKE TO PRAMUKA ISLAND (31 October 2009)
We started our journey from 'Muara Angke'. Actually Muara Angke is a port for fisherman boats, and also fish market, so imagine the smell of fish around you.. the ferry from Muara Angke to 'Pramuka Island' supposed to leave Muara Angke at 7am, but because of weekend, many people wanna spend their weekend to Kepulauan Seribu so the ferry left when it is full and it left on 6.30 am.... Hiks hiks hiks hiks I missed the ferry, all my friend already inside the ferry... The next ferry schedule is on 1pm, but I m lucky they have additional trip about 8am because still have about 100 people cant get on board.Our Ferry route is Muara Angke - Untung Jawa Island - Pramuka Island - Panggang Island. It take about 45 minutes from Muara Angke to Untung Jawa Island. and about 20 minutes from Pramuka Island to Panggang Island.
We reach Pramuka Island at 10.20am. I missed the trip to turtle conservation at Pramuka Island. I walked around the pier and take some fotos of the Tower & Orange Mosque in Pramuka Island, then we boarded the small boats to cruise around Kepulauan Seribu.
We are 9 persons, 4 boys (Yudhis, Obi, Iway, and RIcky) and 5 girls (me, Christy, Desi, Uni and Tika) Some of them I met on my trip to Bali last September like Christy, Desi and Iway. it's my first time meet Yudhis (our coordinator), Obi, Ricky, Tika and Uni.
KARYA ISLAND
Our next destination is Karya Island. It takes about 20 minutes from Pramuka Island to Karya Island. Here, we try our snorkel equipments such as masker, google and fins. It's the first time snorkled for Uni and Tika and even Uni said that she cant swim, but she eager to try and she master it. The beach surrounding Karya island is like a big swimming pool, so quite and no big wave, it's good to learn how to snorkeling.. Lucky we have Rizky, our contact in Pramuka Island, and Iway. They are damn good on snorkeling and diving.. They are our teachers and our life guards.
SEMAK DAUN ISLAND
After we know the basic of snorkeling, we move to Semak Daun Island. We were snorkeling around Semak Daun Island. Our boats didnt berth at Semak Daun Island, we berthed about 100 m from the sea bed, where we can see the Marine Park, full of colorful fishes, corals and ..... Sea Urchins.. Dont touch or step on Sea Urchins, they have thick hair around their body and if you step on them their hair will snap on your leg or hand then you will feel stiff for about 4 - 5 hours
LAYAR ISLAND
Our next destination is another snorkeling spot called it 'Balik Layar' Island. Actually no such an island.. It's a strange place like a white sandy swimming pools in the sea. but near there they have a beautiful marine parks, more colorful fishes and blue starfish. and... no sea urchins..
TIDUNG ISLAND
We choose Tidung Besar Island to spend the nite. There are 2 islands, Tidung Besar Island or Big Tidung Island and Tidung Kecil Island or Small Tidung Island.. There is a connecting bridge between Tidung Besar & Tidung Kecil. No star hotel in Tidung, you can find homestay. We rent a homestay consist of 1 bedrooms and 1 livingroom for Rp.200.000/nite (about USD22). Tidung Besar Island is an amasing place for biking around the island.. You can rent a bike for just Rp.15.000/day.
Sunset @ Tidung Island
The amazing about Tidung Island is that you can see sunset and also sunrise from the bridge.
