WIFE VS. HUSBAND

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.An earlier discussion had led to an argument andneither of them wanted to concede their position.As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?''Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.'

W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...30,000 to a man's 15,000.The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can beso stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.' The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain.God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about whoshould brew the coffee each morning.The wife said, 'You should do it, because you get up first,and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.'The husband said, ' You are in charge of cooking around here andyou should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.'Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Biblethat the man should do the coffee.'Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.'So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testamentand showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says........ .'HEBREWS'

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving eachother the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight..Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AMand he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go andsee why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper bythe bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'Men are not equipped for this kind of contest.

moral of the story: God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

cheers...

Apa kata dunia?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat sisa-sisa sampah hotel dan restaurant yang banyak baketerinya di daur ulang dgn cara di formalin, diberi pewarna dan digoreng lalu dijual di pasar?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat daging-daging gelondongan yg di suntik dengan air supaya keliatan lebih berat dan lebih gemuk?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat sapi yang sudah mati lalu dipotong2 lalu dijual ke pasar tanpa memikirkan bakteri-bakteri yang mungkin bisa berakibat fatal bila orang mengkonsumsinya?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat ayam jg disuntik dengan air supaya lebih gemuk atau melihat ayam-ayam yang sudah telah menjadi bangkai, keluar belatungnya dan penuh dengan lalat tapi masih dijual?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat tahu yang diformalin lalu dikonsumsi oleh manusia?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat pedagang gorengan memasukkan plastik ke dalam minyaknya sebelum menggoreng tahu/tempe/singkong supaya gurih terus sepanjang hari tanpa memikirkan dampak efek samping kimianya bila dikonsumsi?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat makanan yang telah kadarluarsa dihancurkan kecil-kecil lalu dibuat makanan baru dan dipasarkan untuk dikonsumsi anak kecil?

Apa kata dunia bila melihat makanan yang telah kadarluarsa masih dijual di pasaran dengan harga yang murah?

Apa kata dunia bila mereka tahu semua ini tapi tetap membelinya tanpa memikirkan efek samping yang akan mereka dapatkan bila mengkonsumsinya, karena mereka tak mampu untuk membeli makanan yang masih layak dimakan?

siapakah yg bertanggung jawab atas semua ini? apakah hati nurani orang sudah terlalu dikonsumsi untuk kepentingan pribadi semata? atau hidup di indonesia begitu susah sampai orang tega menjual dan membeli makanan seperti itu demi bertahan hidup? demi sesuap nasi untuk keluarganya?

hmm.... semua ini membuat kita berpikir betapa beruntungnya kita dan betapa kita harus bersyukur atas apa yang kita miliki sekarang sehingga kita tak perlu mengkonsumsi makanan-makanan tersebut.. bersyukur karena kita masih mampu untuk makan makanan yang layak.. seberapa susahnya kita, kita masih jauh lebih beruntung daripada mereka... so live your life gracefully everyday!

cheers..

Same mistake - James blunt

I've been listening to this song over and over again.. love it.. (and so many thanks to Mr. E!) here are the lyrics..

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello.

There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy.
Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.

And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy.
Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.

Ref. I'm not calling for a second chance,I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.

And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.

Ref.

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.And wonder where did I go wrong.

cheers..

Quote of the day

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying. "
