Baru pertama kali nyobain sate susu sapi di depan Rumah Sakit Bersalin
Limiyati jalan Riau, gara-gara besuk temen gua yang ngelahirin. rasanya
enak banget, buat yang suka lemak. Tapi kalau dah dingin gak enak
karena jadi keras dan lengket di mulut. Itu sate seluruhnya lemak…
pokoke buat yg doyan lemak pasti demen deh… Harganya 10rebu
dikasihnya 10 tusuk + lontong, biasanya si mbok ngasih bonus satu tusuk
jadi 11. hmmmm…. yummmy

Pernah sekali dalam hidup saya, saya ditolak oleh seorang wanita, dan penolakan itu menyebabkan saya merasa sakit hati, merasa sangat menjadi ‘looser’ dan juga merasa sangat malu. Malu karena orang-orang sudah pada tahu semua kalau saya suka sama wanita itu, tapi ternyata sang wanita tidak menyukai saya. Akibatnya saya menjadi tidak berani mengejar wanita. Saya tidak sanggup rasanya menanggung malu lagi karena saya ketahuan mendekati seorang wanita.

Tapi akhirnya saya sadar…. Tuhan menciptakan kaum pria yang mengejar kaum wanita ada maksudnya. Yaitu supaya para pria belajar keteguhan hati dan menunjukkan bahwa sang pria memang orang yang penuh perjuangan. Hal-hal ini dikagumi oleh wanita. Dan memang pria perlu dikagumi oleh sang kekasih yang kemudian menjadi istrinya. Sehingga pada saat menikah, kekaguman itu bertumbuh menjadi sikap hormat seorang istri kepada suami.

Sikap keteguhan hati dan sikap mau berjuang juga akan sangat diperlukan dalam mengarungi bahtera pernikahan. Karena setelah menikah, keluarga baru ini akan banyak bergantung pada sang kepala keluarga yaitu pria untuk menghidupi dan melindungi keluarganya. Karena itu para pria, kejarlah wanita itu. Jangan mudah menyerah dan putus asa. Kalau gagal, cobalah lagi, kejarlah lagi, berjuanglah lagi, suatu saat Anda akan menikmati hasil ‘training’ Anda tersebut dalam pernikahan Anda.

Buat yang makannya banyak, makan di Clemmons bisa sangat menghemat
uang saku. Bayangin aja, dengan uang 11.000 - 13.000 rupiah kita bisa
makan dengan porsi gajah dan rasanya juga uenakk eee… Recommended banget lah…

Clemmons,
All about Chicks menjual menu ayam-ayaman dengan berbagai pengolahan
dan bumbu. Bisa pilih pake nasi atau kentang, harganya sama. Gile

Chicken katsu dikasih keju lembaran plus lembaran Beef Ham, lalu
diatasnya dikasih parutan keju… banyak banget loh kejunya, sampe gua
eneg makannya, jadi gak gua abisin tuh makanan. So kalau elu pade makan
ke sono, makan sekuatnya aja, biar gak eneg dan taste nikmatnya masih
kerasa… namanya juga porsi gajah…

Menu lain yg gua suka:
Salami Melted Chicken. Dada ayam digoreng tanpa tulang, dikasih Salami
Ham, dan dikasih melted cheese… enak banget… Kalau mau yang lebih
murah, bisa beli Clemmons 4 Two, 18.000an buat berdua, isinya chicken

For You bless this beautiful morning

That I once again have a chance

To greet a beautiful angel like you

And that I may enjoy

Your beautiful smile

Even when I can’t see your beautiful face

Smiling reading this SMS

By Michael Ramsden
"People are
basically good," writes one poet. "It is only their behavior that lets them
down."

It is remarkable to think there are many today who believe they
are good enough to get into heaven. Perhaps there is so much bad news about
others that they conclude by comparison they are superior, and thus, deserving
of a place in eternity.
But then it is even more remarkable that when Christians
claim they know they are going to heaven, they are regarded as being conceited,
boastful, and arrogant. People immediately ask: How can they think that they are
better than everyone else?

The fact that the same person can think of
himself as superior to others, while at the same time criticizing Christians for
arrogance, underlines one of the effects of living in a postmodern world. Though
the contradiction is frustrating, Christians need to be able to respond
coherently to the questions at hand: Why can’t I just be a good person? Isn’t it
unfair of God to say that you can’t get into heaven unless you believe in Him,
even though you have been a good person? Who does He think He is?

Jesus
was once asked a similar question by a group of inquirers: "What must we do to
do the works God requires?" (John 6:28). Interestingly, the question was posed
in plural form; it seems they were looking for a list of good things to do. But
Jesus replied in the singular, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one
He has sent" (6:29).

Of course, in the minds of those who feel they have
lived a good life, Christ’s answer will not go unchallenged. What makes belief
so special? Surely what we do is far more important than what we believe. How
can a good person, who is not a Christian, be denied access on the basis of
belief?

The difficulty here lies in the assumption that is being made in
each of these questions–namely, that there is such a thing as a good person.
Jesus again offers further clarification in the form of question and answer. He
was once asked, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke
18:18). The theory of the questioner was clear: Jesus is a good person; good
people go to heaven, so what must I do to be in the same group? But Jesus’s
reply was surprising. "Why do you call me good?" he asked (18:19). He then
answered his own question: "No one is good–except God alone."

The
simple truth is that the issue is not about good people not getting into heaven.
Alas, the problem is much worse! Jesus seems to define goodness in terms of
being like God, and on that basis there are no good people anywhere. Thus, the
real question is not about who is good enough to get in to heaven. The real
question is how God makes it possible for anyone to get in at all. The answer is
that we need to be forgiven, and that forgiveness is won for us through the
Cross.(1)

In fact, this is precisely why the Gospel is called Good News,
and why we do well to declare it. The good news is that getting into heaven is
first and foremost about forgiveness. The Christian testimony is, in fact, far
from arrogant! Christians can be sure that they are going to heaven, not because
they are good, but because they have received forgiveness by believing in
Christ.

In other words, if we will trust in and rely on Jesus–his
promises, his person, his life, death, and resurrection–we can be sure that we
are saved. Christians are not good people because they live morally superior
lives to everyone else. They have been made "good" in God’s eyes because Christ
has made forgiveness possible–because Christ has extended his own righteousness
to those who will believe.

Good people will certainly go to heaven.
However, the path to goodness lies not in religious observances or respectable
acts, but in the forgiveness of a good God, given to us through the Cross of
Christ.
