Beginning Today

Beginning today...
I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today...
I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

Beginning today...
I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me, is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better.

Beginning today...
I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value the gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with others.

Beginning today...
I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self- improvement.

Beginning today...
I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.

Beginning today...
I walk with renewed faith in human kindness. Regardless of what has gone before.
I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.

Beginning today...
I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences.
I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.

Beginning today...
I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy... admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath...
Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

Beginning today...
I will learn something new; I will try something different;
I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.

Beginning Today, And Everyday.

What Maya Angelou learned?

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, live does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"I've learned that, you can tell a bot about a person by the way he/she handles three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."

"I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."

"I've learned that, making a 'living' is not the same as 'making a life'."

"I've learned that, life sometimes gives you a second chance."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"I've learned that, whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."

"I've learned that, even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."

"I've learned that, every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

The Movie 303

Saturday evening,after attending Meinar's wedding, me and my buddies went to see the 303. It was totally cool. I LOVE the pictures!! Even though itz color-manipulated and heavily computer- generated, itz so totally cool! The movie itself for me was heart beating.

Enuf about the movie. I got better stuff to tell.
The most hillarious part. My friend just share this with me, what one of his friend's experience while watching this movie.

Letting you know that this happened in WestEnd-UK. So, he was in this theater, and everybody is ready to watch the movie "303".
In the corner, sits this gay couple, cuddling each other while the ad starts to role. And then, the moment the movie started..
hey, they realized that they're in the wrong theater!

So, instead of just stayed clam and walked out quietly, they started shouting on their way out, "stupid movie, stupid movie.. bla bla bla"

One of the audience, who totally feel annoyed with these guys attitude, jump out of his seats, grab the nearest guy's shoulder, and scream at this guys face, "this is not stupid!...THIS IS SPARTA!" and start smacking him!!!

So, the poor guy, went down flat, rolling along the aisle. Ending this, was a big applause from the whole audience.

Hahahahahaha. Sorry, for him. But this is TOTALLY funny!

My friend said, he envy his friend for not witnessing this total one of a kind event.

At the end, he shared, the police did come, but of course, "Leonidas" has already fleed. :)

Copeeeeeeeet!

An announcement on my friend's YM! catch my attention:
"seumur-umur, baru kali ini gw kecopetan T_T (first time in my entire life that i got mugged!)".. Poor girl! So then, i click on her name, and asked for details: where? when? how? how come? I kept on typing all of these questions. I thought it happened like a few days ago. Apparently, it happened just now around 3.15pm in one of the mall in Bandung -BSM. She lost two of her mobile. And, like most other place in Indonesia, when you get robbed, no chance will you get it back. It would just be a hopeless case. Even though the security promised to look on their camera, but well, don't put your hopes high, girl!

Once, my mom experience a similar case, also in Bandung. She was just standing there, waiting for a cab, and then she felt her bag seems heavier. When she turned back, there was this guy standing behind her, and his hands was in her bag!! Could you just believe that?? He was trying to reach for her purse. Oh my gosh!! Seriously!! And when she turned and yell at him, that guy just walk out, like nothing happened.

You wanna know the most amazing part of this story? There was actually a police standing near by, and my mom was going to report this to that noble policeman. But guess what? the moment my mom came by, he just stood there, say nothing, and doing nothing! GOSH!
