What's love means to Kids

when kids talking about loves...is Touching words from the mouth of babes.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think.

here they're...
...

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'

...

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

...

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

...

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'

...

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'

...

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'

...

'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss'

...

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'

...

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'

...

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

...

'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.'

...

'My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.

...

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'

...

'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'

...

Loe is when my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'

...

'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.'

...

That is love...how about you?
Have a lovely days...

Menilai Seorang Wanita...(part 1)

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, aku lagi makan bersama keluarga dan beberapa sepupu ku di sebuah restaurant di Solo, Jawa Tengah

Disamping meja ku ada keluarga juga lagi makan.

Pas disamping ku ada perempuan yang sangat cantik.

Even my cousin said she’s hot !

Wearing her offshoulder loose shirt…

Sedikit ngatung, jeans turun di panggulnya…

A little busty, red hot lips …

My whole family was blown away...My Dad also...hehehe

But she was slackin abit. Kayak yg lagi kesel gitu.

Senyum jarang sekali muncul diwajahnya…

Mamaku merhatiin perempuan ini.. makannya sopan.. anggun..

ketika minum TIBA TIBA AIRNYA DIKUMUR KUMUR DI MULUTNYA sebelum diminum!

.............................

I have no offense really, bahkan aku juga terkadang melakukannya...tapi NGGAK DIMINUM

Tapi berhubung awalnya sudah terkesima dengan kecantikannya, pas adegan itu muncul, kita semua kaget ngeliatnya.

Agak ngga klop aja dengan penampilannya

...

Nah, aku tau, cara paling mudah untuk menilai seseorang adalah dari SIKAPNYA.

Tapi sikap baru keliatan kalau kita sudah menghabiskan waktu banyak bersama dengan seseorang. Setidaknya 15 menit lah.

HOW DO YOU JUDGE A WOMAN IN 15 SECONDS SPAN?

hehehe...

Kok gitu...? (interview aneh...)

Apakah aku berlebihan?

Baca cerita ku dulu, kemudian kasih kesimpulan ya...

Beberapa waktu yang lalu aku sedang mendengarkan siaran di sebuah radio dimana sedang dilakukan interview kepada seseorang yang bekerja untuk sebuah perusahaan yang mencari tenaga kerja Indonesia untuk ditempatkan di Singapura.

Dia nampak seperti orang yang cerdas, cukup baik dalam pembawaan, dan ramah.

Kemudian mulailah dia “berjualan” tentang bagaimana kerja di Singapura akan baik untuk para pendengar radio itu.

Salah satu bentuk jualannya dia bilang begini :

“Bayangkan, Singapura merdeka tahun 1965, tapi sekarang mereka lebih maju dari pada kita. Itu menunjukkan struggle-nya mereka dan perjuangan serta kerja keras mereka”

WHAATT ???

Saat itu seketika aku naik pitam dan hampir melabrak orang itu secara fisik dan verbal.

Tapi aku ingat dia hanyalah seorang klien yang diundang di radio itu dan yang keluar dari mulutku saat itu hanyalah...“Tapi kan mereka negara kecil cuy, bedalah dengan kita yang luar banget dengan jumlah penduduk yang jauh lebih besar”

KOK BISA BISANYA NGOMONG GITU??

Mereka merdeka tahun 1965 tapi lebih maju dari kita?
Mereka jumlah penduduknya 4.5 juta!
Kita 220 juta! (kira-kira...hehehe)
Negara mereka tidak lebih besar daripada Jakarta!

Itu bukan perbandingan yang adil!
Sori aku ralat
Itu bukan perbandingan yang CERDAS!

DAN, mereka merdeka karena dikasih.
Beda dengan Indonesia....Kita karena berjuang.
Tepatnya 350 tahun berjuang.

Ya, memang itu waktu yang sangat panjang, tapi dalam 350 tahun itu setiap bagian di Indonesia melakukan perlawanan.
DAN kita memilih untuk memerdekakan diri.
Kita tidak terima “DIKASIH” kemerdekaan seperti rencana jepang.
Kita merdeka sendiri.

Gimana ceritanya kok mereka lebih struggle dan berjuang??

That was not a smart angle to promote his job.

I was wrong, he wasnt THAT smart.

Gimana tuh kalau seperti itu?

God save the Queen

Life is already written down

Several paths are provided on every scenes in life

What makes the difference is the choices we make

And really, life is not THAT hard

The only thing mankind needs to do is only to make choices

Others will fall in its places once the choice has been made

I made a choice

I’ll live through it

I know i’ll survive

I have faith

That's how God chooses to teach me

Because God is watching...God save the Queen

i fell life is...

Life is not like a Box of Chocolate

Life is not like a Roller Coaster Ride

Life is not like the Ferris Wheel

at least not mine

Life is more like a Basketball game.

It has Rage and Vengence

It has competition

It has Strength and Stamina

It has time outs

It has Fouls, Errors and Mistakes

It has Seasons

It has Rhythme

It has Victories as well as Losses

Life is more like a Basketball game.

At least mine is

...

How's life there?

JUNGLISH (JUNGLE ENGLISH)

What is Junglish?

Jungle English...is bahasa Inggris yang maksa

hehehe...lebih tepatnya berbicara dengan menggunakan bahasa Inggris tapi dicampur dengan bahasa sehari-hari atau daerah...

Dan kasus seperti ini sering sekali ditemui dalam keseharian

Terutama bagi mereka yang amat sangat menjiwai bahasa daerahnya

dan sebenarnya....I still do it...sometimes lah ya...hehehe

like one mentioned below :

Javelish...
The typical Javanese language: 'lho','lha', 'tho', 'kok', 'ki', etc
- Lho, I already bought that book !
- Kok, buying again ?
- I told you many times 'tho' !
- Lha, I didn't know tho yo... how ki !?
- Don't be like that, no....!?


Jakartenglish...
Jakarte English is marked by the 'sih', 'deh', 'dong','nih', etc
- That book is very good, deh.
- Can you speak english?.. yeah a little sih I can!
- Use my money first nih..
- Give me more dong..
- How sih? Little little angry..

Surobenglis...
Surobenglish is marked by 'tah' and the famous word is 'diancuk' (ooppss sorry...)
-Do you feel sick, tah ?
-Diancuk, my wallet was stolen !


Other exclamation words of Java (especially at New York-arto Hadiningrat...or Jogja): 'wo_','wah', 'wé_', 'jian', and 'jé_'
- Wé...lha this book is mine jé...!
- Wo..., only like that tho!
- Wah, expensive, tho?
- Jian...Paijem is so beautiful tenan.


Sundanglish...
Sundanglish is also available such as 'atuh','euy', 'mah'
- Well, if that kind, it pretty so-so atuh
- It can't be that way euy...
- I am mah, not like that... anything else ?


There are also abundant 'sound effect' in Javanesse language.
- Suddenly, mak bedhengus den Tukiman appeared
- My head feels pain, mak cleng!
- Mak tlepok, I got a manggo !
- My chicken is suddenly died, mak cekengkeng
- Mak gedebug, Kampreté fell down.
- Mak jegagik.... Oh, trondholo !
- Oh man, this food is Mak Nyuuuuusssssss.....tenan !


hehehe...semoga kebahagiann selalu bersama kita...

Keep smile....laugh...

karena sebenarnya tertawa itu menyehatkan kita...

I'm smile and proud...:)

Thanks God...

Today I am Proud of who i am

What i’ve been through and what i could still reign

I am proud of my achievements

Proud of my way of solving problems and overclimbing mountains

Leap Through Obstacles whether it is small or ice brink high

They're said that...

I am young

I have every reason to be Proud of myself like everybody should feel good of themselves

I am proud of everything i have and i owned

I am Proud of my Personality

Proud of my way of Thinking

My sometimes controversial idea

Always proud of my life

The path i took

Proud of my Parents...my Big Happy Familys...my Friends

Proud of my Victories in the past and my losses

Proud of the footsteps i left behind

Proud because it made me who i am today

and today

Today, I Smile and Stand Proud

And nothing feels greater than that!

What next...I will always ready for that... :)
