    Ship em all 

    You know what we should do to corruptors in Indonesia?

    Have 1 island in Indonesia with strict military law. Or even strict shariah law, it doesn't matter. As long as punishments are severe and thoroughly executed.

    Ship all the corruptors & their family to this island. Forbid them to enter their hometown forever. It's humane & possible, right?

    Having lived in California for 2 years, I have only recently had the privilege of reading our governator's wiki page.

    And check out his speech while you're at it.

    The Power of The Music of the Night 

    Music of the Night
    (Michael Crawford - Webber's Phantom of the Opera)

    Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
    Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
    Silently the senses abandon their defenses
    Helpless to resist the notes i write
    For I compose the music of the night
    (music)

    Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
    Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
    Hearing is believing
    Music is deceiving
    Hard as lightning, soft as candle light
    Dare you trust the music of the night..
    Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
    And the truth isn't what you want to see
    In the dark it is easy to pretend..
    That the truth is what it ought to be...

    Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
    Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
    Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
    In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
    The darkness of the music of the night

    Close your eyes start a journey through a strange, new world
    Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
    Close your eyes and let music set you free
    Only then can you belong to me

    Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
    Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
    Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
    To the power of the music that I write
    The power of the music of the night

    You alone can make my song take flight
    Help me make the music of the night

    Pride, Prestige 

    These things in life are temporary & given as talents from the Almighty

    We cannot boast

    We have to help each other with what we have

    Not just keeping them to ourselves

    Pride is only good if it inspires other people to do better
    Prestige is meaningless until it is usable for other things

    Until then,
    if we use pride & prestige for our ego only
    we are like the servant who bury his master's only talent in the ground
    and give it back to Him, unused

    it is the insecurity within us
    that prevent the gifts from truly multiplying
    we don't like competitors, we want to knock them down
    because they are threats to our pride & prestige

    But what are they, actually? What is pride? What is prestige?

    The wise fear only the Lord

    How do I love thee, Lord 

    How do I love thee, Lord
    invisible one
    come & go as Thou pleased

    truly a fascinating mystery, how Thou managed to blinded us with idealized love

    What if 

    In the world where pursuit of (self) happiness conquers all
    Everything would seems ok

    As long as you are happy I'm happy
    Whatever floats your boats


    What if
    our pursuit of happiness isn't all what imagined to be?

    What if
    by nature of consciousness we are made to struggle more than to be happy?

    And in struggling
    We may achieve true peace

    Does that sound too negative to you?
    It actually sounds enlightening to me

    Childfree - the next revolution 

    Right now everyone is talking about Homosexuality; how society should accept their choice of sexuality as normal.

    Next, come Childfree - a movement of parenthood by choice. It is a close relative to Abortion (gasp!) or should I say motherhood by choice.

    http://www.childfree.net/

    Choice, choice, choice. Aaah, humans and their hard-earned freedom. Future will be very interesting if this movement becomes popular. It could happened.

    After all, to this day I don't have natural ability to like children. I know several people that feel the same way. It would have been easy for me to sway to this side.

    However, due to my Catholic faith, I know I ought to have children someday. It is a commandment and, um, I think the Church teaches that it brings Him glory. Ok God, whatever makes you happy, I'm happy too.

    To tell you the truth, today I wasn't so afraid of child-bearing anymore. I found it very interesting. Even though I still need to bring myself to like children, it wasn't as difficult as several years ago. Maybe because my clock is ticking, the motherhood hormones is kicking, hm.

    Fun thought: I kinda like the idea of having some mini-people who are dependent on you. You can mold, shape and brainwashed them. Evil grin. Uh-oh, will I be a good mother?

    And here's the answer 

    Here's a million dollar question to a0z0ra:

    Q: In all honesty, knowing that you will spend eternity in Purgatory if you lie, were you in a relationship before you met your fiancee?

    and the answer is....

    (drumrolls)

    No, I wasn't.

    I kept the breakup hidden for quite long, only few closest friends know about it. It was the same weekend my car was hit by the drunken driver. Few weekends later, since I don't have a decent running car, I joined 2 of my friends to go to the Church. Interestingly enough, at that time my current fiancee was in the same mass. He asked me my number which I gave him (hey, I was single). But I ignored his call because I wasn't ready.

    Not until few weeks later we met again at the same Church & same mass time. This time, he also asked me out for dinner. This time I decided to give it a try.

    I realize later that covering the breakup wasn't a wise move, but I'm okay taking the blame (& false rumors) for it.

    After all, it was my fault in the 1st place: I wasn't clear enough about what I truly want from a relationship & I waited for too long to make decision. It ended up hurting both of us.
