They are to taught to feel "bien dans leur peau" -- good in their skin. Sommers says that it is this confidence with their bodies that gives the French woman the power to look chic and lovely no matter what her actual physical features are.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">The mothers pass down to their daughters a confidence and natural self-respect and self-appreciation. By believing in herself the French woman radiates poise and beauty. The French girl learns from a young age to be at ease with her body both dressed and undressed, for beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">I am reminded of this lesson when I watched a play at our local theater. The lead actress though very heavy set, appeared in a skimpy negligee. She was confident, and absolutely radiated sexuality. Her beauty was completely shining forth in her attitude alone.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Here in the States we are often bought up to cover up. To be ashamed of our bodies if they are the least bit of what we consider imperfect. So it can become difficult for us, growing up in a society that covets physical perfection, to relearn how to appreciate a variety of shapes and sizes and enjoy them.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">What to do? How can we overcome this cultural standard that shuns all but the perfect Barbie form? Start with yourself. Learn to like, even love what you have always criticized because your beauty comes from the inside-out, not the other way around. Remember, "The Barbie" is a fake illusion. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Instead of seeing your body as parts, see your body as a fluid whole. Stand tall and walk proudly. Appreciate what your body has to offer you. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Simple Steps To Body Love:</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#66cccc;">1. Treat your body like a good friend, by feeding it well, getting adequate sleep, and taking care of it. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#66cccc;">2. Pamper your body. Lotions on the skin, manicures - things that make you feel good. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#66cccc;">3. Send yourself positive messages (no constant self criticism). And not putting yourself down with other people either! </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#66cccc;">4. So my (fill in the blank) isn't perfect. Does it really matter? </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#66cccc;">5. Surround yourself with what you love and enjoy. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">Cultivate this attitude of internal confidence and it will show through in your walk, your talk, and you'll notice the difference it makes in how people respond to you as well! </span>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-57551277251834137892009-08-03T22:05:00.000-07:002009-08-03T22:53:12.298-07:00DO YOU WANT TO FINISH READING THE HOLLY QUR'AN THIS RAMADHAN?<div align="center"> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 234px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365971107135812866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS4k0c7qYvaAx4-IJUl-4uE5Nkx3OX1ttSrGuuizmemU3a6cnpzGcP5Di3UCsMmBIpdtr5zOOgqiSNOi1b3sCdiDCAlbWpkrE95G9Qkr_t_OsTueZhTkeZR0DybXLqMBWYAJlBk86mNwb4/s320/Picture1.jpg" /><br /><div align="center"><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>All you have to do is to read around 4.5 pages after each prayer<br /></strong></span><br /></span></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#33ccff;">CHECK THIS OUT</span><br /></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;">4.5</span></strong> </div><br /><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 114px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 69px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365972045930909186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOiPIXGR1fDQR8JHLnF852huL3tOCmoFgV-DbW0XKKN57SxtUonkDvMk5ez5Pl_z0FAu4N4BRlIKQSjNa3cgrlXhaKcU2m7WuzFAsyKz_mNv-KqYJ2fFeYhrxyxXwCjCXbYA3y34dFoItT/s320/Picture2.png" /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;">X</span></strong></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><strong>5</strong><br /></span></span></p><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 124px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 111px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365972475522910018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPldMAI3iZh3Y_exxty8RoAbw_JsFGE279NIltQNsqWwURGj89iLShSAV84nnA4vpORlCv-6LusEKYDm4T4O6vx4sMldodY7rFYDQ5XbLqRZLlTD1Bx-fSXDg47rCc30sOLQCfhPgQSt6G/s320/Picture3.png" /></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;">X<br /></span></strong></div><br /><p align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;">30</span></strong></p><br /><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 90px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 69px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365972888610831826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7MUI8aFLC9pnaNIGlW_qAQh0RdoQfc41Ggcm1WPHOzsHzAXU-5xnPFogIwoRk4yWZBd2oXjMKztVY5ScYYNQQz573zzzK7T1xR9-Yn62P-RgS06ATruZfzGZapcLHmV3_0g7UYF2qri5-/s320/Picture4.png" /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"><strong>=</strong></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"><strong>604</strong></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff99ff;"><strong>=</strong></span></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 110px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365978225351145218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1wxdL9_5tFAULwUNRy9BEnktS5bDJo16RXx-1NdzjY7EpureyrvHCxoWn0nfyN8Cyry_arZavzKHUohBSRBs_8hKkGevpqEQNvzLPeqsNxwjIpOP1Jk41ssQ0LCyyTeforJyVKip4k7a/s320/Picture5.png" /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff33;">WOW!!!</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color:#66ffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">WHAT AN INVESTMENT!!!</span></strong><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#66ffff;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">If you are in real hurry you can finish it once every two months by reading just 2 pages.<br /></span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">And remember, each letter you read in Qur'an counts 10 hasanat.</span></strong></span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div></div>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-70032210520016995932009-07-19T02:53:00.000-07:002009-07-19T03:10:22.239-07:00JIHAD DI BUMI ISRAK<div align="center"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Bulan Rejab sangat berkait rapat dengan peristiwa Isra' dan Mi'raj. Ia merupakan satu bukti tentang kebesaran, kekuasaan dan kehebatan Allah SWT yang memperjalankan hamba iaitu Muhammad SAW dari Masjidil Haram di Mekah ke Masjid Al-Aqsa, Baitul Muqadis di Palestin dan seterusnya Nabi s.a.w di angkat kelangit untuk bertemu dengan Allah SWT.</span><br /><br />Firman Allah SWT dalam Surah Al-Isra' ayat 1:<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#33ccff;"><strong>"Maha suci Allah yang telah menjalankan hambaNya (Muhammad) pada malam hari dari Masjid Al-Haraam (di Makkah) ke Masjid Al-Aqsa (di Palestin), yang Kami berkati sekelilingnya, untuk memperlihatkan kepadanya tanda-tanda (kekuasaan dan kebesaran) kami. Sesungguhnya Allah jualah yang Maha Mendengar, lagi Maha mengetahui." (Al-Isra' ayat 1)</strong></span></em><br /><em></em><br /><span style="color:#99ff99;">Peristiwa ini berlaku dua tahun sebelum bginda hijrah ke Madinah. Ia sangat menguji keimanan dan keyakinan umat Islam terhadap kekuasan Allah serta bukti kebenaran kenabian Nabi Muhammad SWT kerana bagi pandangan orang-orang yang tidak beriman atau tipis imannya mereka menyatakan bahawa peristiwa Isra' dan Mi'raj ini tidak mungkin akan berlaku dan tidak mempercayainya. Tetapi bagi orang-orang yang benar-benar beriman kepada Allah dan rasulnya, mereka bertambah tetap keimanannya dan keyakinan serta meperakui kebenaran peristiwa tersebut.<br /><br />Walaupun nabi sentiasa mendapat ujian dengan kematian isteri tersayang iaitu Saidatina Khadijah yang menjadi pendorong dakwah dan perjuangan baginda, kemudian kematian bapa saudaranya Abu Talib yang menjadi penaung daripada asakan dan tekanan kafir Quraish, namun baginda tetap bersabar dan tabah menghadapinya, baginda tidak bertindak balas terhadap penganiayaan tersebut, tetapi sebaliknya baginda berdoa dengan penuh harapan atas pertolongan Allah SWT.<br /><br />Inilah tahunnya yang digelar tahun dukacita ‘Amul Hazan', lantas Allah SWT mengangkat baginda di Isra' dan Mi'rajkan, untuk mendorong serta menghiburkan hati baginda SAW.<br /><br />Setiap kali kita membicarakan peristiwa Isra' dan Mi'raj, maka jiwa kita akan tersentuh, mengenang nasib kedudukan dan keadaan bumi Isra', iaitu Baitul Muqadis dan Masjidil Aqsa yang kini dijajah oleh Yahudi La'natulllah. Pada suasana kita menyambut Isra' dan mi'raj ini umat Islam akan segera memperingati nakbah atau malam petala yang meninpa umat Islam Palestin yang sehingga kini terus menderita sejak 61 tahun yang lalu.<br /><br />Cengkaman ini bermula semenjak persidangan Basel di Switzerland pada 31 Ogos 1897 iaitu permulaan kepada sejarah tercetusnya gerakan untuk menubuhkan sebuah Negara untuk umat Yahudi. Diikuti pula dengan deklerasi Balfor pada 15 Mei 1984, yang disokong sepenuhnya oleh Amerika Syarikat, akhirnya penubuhan dan pengistiharan Negara Yahudi yang bernama Israel ini, telah benar-benar berlaku.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><span style="color:#99ff99;">Tentra Israel telah melancarkan pembersihan etnik, iaitu sejumlah lapan ratus ribu orang atau tiga perempat daripada rakyat Israel, dihalau keluar dari kediaman mereka. Mereka terpaksa berpindah tanpa kerelaan mereka.</span><br /><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span><br /><span style="color:#99ff99;">Kini sudah enam dekad berlalu pelarian Palestin hidup dalam kemiskinan dan penafian keperluan asas yang sangat parah. Mereka terpaksa hidup tanpa makanan yang mencukupi, tanpa tempat tinggal, tanpa pekerjan, pendidikan dan kemudahan rawatan. Sekiranya ada tempat-tempat kemudahan awam seumpama hospital, sekolah dan universiti sentiasa menjadi sasaran bom, malah tanah perkuburan menerima nasib yang sama dan nasib mereka hingga kini tidak dipeduli oleh masyarakat antarabangsa yang didominasi oleh Amerika Syarikat.</span><br /><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span><br /><span style="color:#99ff99;">Sebagai hasil gerakan zionis Yahudi ini, sekarang bumi Palestin telah dicerobohi oleh enam juta orang Yahudi. Lebih memilukan lagi, mereka hidup dalam kepungan umpama penjara di tanah air mereka sendiri, seperti di semenanjung Gaza sementara lima juta rakyat Palestin yang lain menjadi pelarian disekitar negara-negara di timur tengah. Sebanyak 80 kem pelarian kini menampung satu juta pelarian Palestin di Jordan, Lubnan dan Syiria. Firman Allah SWT dalm surah Al-Maedah ayat 82:</span><br /><br />Maksudnya: <br /><br /><div align="center"><em><span style="color:#33ccff;"><strong>"Demi Sesungguhnya Engkau (Wahai Muhammad) akan dapati manusia yang keras sekali permusuhannya kepada orang-orang yang beriman ialah orang-orang yahudi dan orang-orang musyrik."(Al-Maedah ayat 82)</strong></span></em></div><div align="center"><em></em> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Amat wajar bagi kita umat Islam, bangkit mempertingkatkan perjuangan menegakkan Islam di mana-mana sahaja. Tidak sekali-sekali memberi ruang kepada Negara-negara umat Islam seluruh dunia menjadi batu loncatan Yahudi untuk mengiktiraf dan merestui kewujudan Negara haram itu. Sebaliknya Yahudi tidak pernah mengiktiraf kewujudan bangsa dan agama lain, sebagiman firman Allah dalm surah Al-Baqarah ayat 120:</span></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Maksudnya: </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"><em> <span style="color:#33ccff;"><strong>"Orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasrani tidak sekali-kali akan bersetuju atau suka kepadamu (Wahai Muhammad) sehingga Engkau menurut agama mereka (yang telah terpesong itu)."(Al-Baqarah ayat 120)</strong></span></em></div><div align="center"><em></em> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Maka kita sebagai umat Islam yang bermaruah, dengan tegas mengutuk dan mengecam sekeras-kerasnya, kekejaman dan tindakan jahat yang dilakukan oleh rejim Yahudi. Kerana ia bukan sahaja telah melanggar hak asasi kemanusiaan, tetapi ia memberi kesan yang cukup besar terutamanya ke atas Masjid Al-Aqsa yang merupakan qiblat pertama umat Islam dan sejarah Isra' baginda SAW.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Sikap kita menyembut ketibaan Isra' dan Mi'raj, bukan sahaj memahami peristiwa dan pengajran ketika Rasulullah SAW diIsra'kan atau diMi'rajkan semata-mata, tetapi yang lebih penting ialah tindakan kita membantu bumi Palestin samada dengan bantuan kewangan, tekanan politik kepada Israel atau apa sahaja bagi menyelamatkan dan memerdekakn bumi Isra' daripada cengkaman Yahudi.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Perpecahan di kalangan pemimpin umat Islam telah membuka ruang yang luas kepada zionis Yahudi, untuk terus menganas di bumi Palestin. Perasaan tidak menghargai betapa bernilai Masjid Al-Aqsa yang merupakan qiblah pertama umat Islam dan tamak kepada habuan dunia yang membara dalam diri umat Islam, adalah menjadi punca utama, kepada penerusan tindakan zalim dan ganas rejim Yahudi terhadap saudara seagama kita di Palestin.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Semuanya itu membuka luas ruang kepada musuh-musuh Islam, untuk membunuh umat Islam tanpa rasa takut dan bimbang. Perasaan-perasan inilah yang merebak hingga keseluruh negar umat Islam, sehingga seolah-olahnya luntur semangat jihad di kalangan Umat Islam.Oleh sebab itulah sempena kita menyambut Isra' dan Mi'raj, hendaklah terlakar dalm diri kita sebagai umat Islam untuk berjuang bersungguh-sungguh, memerangi golongan Yahudi ini, sehingga berakhirnya bangsa zalim ini, sebagaimana hadis Nabi SAW yang diriwayatkan oleh Muslim yang bermaksud:</span></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#33ccff;"><strong>"Tidak berlaku Kiamat sehingga orang Islam memerangi kaum Yahudi maka mereka akn diperangi oleh orang Islam sehingga Yahudi akan bersembunyi disebalik batu dan pokok lalu berkatalah batu atau pokok: "Wahai orang Islam Hamba Allah!, Ini dia Yahudi dibelakangku maka datanglah dan bunuhlah dia." melainkan pokok Karkad maka sesungguhnya ia merupakan pokok Yahudi."</strong></span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Sepanjang perjalanan Isra' dan Mi'raj, Rasulullah SAW telah menyaksikan beberapa gambaran perilaku umat manusia samada mereka beriman atau pun tidak. Malah satu peristiwa yang wajr untuk kita sama-sama ambil iktibar ialah apabila baginda perlihatkan baginda sekumpulan manusia yang tidak mampu mengangkat beban tetapi semakin ditambah bebannya adalah gambaran amanah yang belum mampu dilaksanakan, tetapi meminta amanah lain untuk dibuat, pengajarannya ialah sebaiknya hendaklah kita melaksanakan amanah dan tanggungjawab satu persatu, barulah kita meminta yang lain untuk dilaksanakan.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Begitu juga bagaimana diperlihatkan segolongan manusia berebut-rebut makanan yang busuk sedangkan makanan yang lazat lagi baik tidak diambilnya adalah gambaran ada sebahagian manusia mendatangi pasangan-pasangan yang tidak halal untuk berzina sedangkan isteri-isteri yang halal ditinggalkan, pengajarannya kita hendaklah memastikan diri kita dan persekitaran kita selamat daripada dosa dan noda perbuatan jijik dan haram di sisi Islam hendaklah dihindari.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Seterusnya bagaimana Rasulullah telah tercium bauan harum Masyitah dan keluarganya yang telah gugur syahid kerana mempertahankan keimanan kepada Allah dan sanggup berhadapan dengan firaun yang zalim. Mereka lebih sanggup dihumban kedalam kawah yang menggelegak panas demi daripada menerima azab Allah yang lebih pedih jika tunduk kepada firaun yang sesat itu. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Jika kita menghayati peristiwa yang berlaku keatas Masyitah dan keluarganya maka kita merasakan iman dan keyakinan kita begitu kerdil, berbanding pengorbanan tinggi Masyitah, walaupun hanya seorang penyikat rambut anak perempuan Firaun, tetapi tetap mempertahankan keimanannya. Inilah konsep ketaatan yang sebenar bahawa taat kepada pimpinan selama mana mereka taat kepada Allah dan RasulNya. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Mikrajnya nabi SAW telah membawa sejuta pengertian dan warisan yang ditinggalkan untuk kita sebagai penganut islam dengan dianugerahkan solat lima waktu sebagai symbol pengabdian diri kita kepada Allah SWT. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Justeru wajib bagi umat islam mempertahankan kewajipan yang didatangkan terus dari Allah kepada nabi kita untuk umatnya. Kita bimbang telah banyak gejala pengabaian solat, ia didirikan hanya sebagai pilihan sekiranya sempat sahaja bahkan yang paling buruk ialah sekiranya tidak sempat langsung tidak didirikannya. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Inilah fenomena yang mula melanda umat islam apabila tidak mengambil berat tentang agama, maka hal-hal yang bersangkutan akidah, akhlak dan syariat seperti solat, menutup aurat, puasa, zakat dan lain-lain kurang diambil perhatian. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">Setiap kali ketibaan isra' dan mikraj apa yang paling penting bagi kita ialah mengambil pengajaran daripada peristiwa tersebut: </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">1. Setiap perjuangan pasti akan berhadapan dengan ujian dan halangan yang menguji keimanan serta ketakwaan. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">2. Menyedari bahawa musuh-musuh islam sentiasa berusaha untuk menutup cahaya Allah justeru istiqamah dan berjuang tanpa mengenal penet leleh hendaklah diteruskan. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">3. Kita mestilah mengambil iktibar dan merujuk tentang kisah-kisah yang berlaku sepanjang isra' dan mikraj, agar bertambah keimanan, kesedaran dan keinsafan. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#99ff99;">4. Solat mestilah dibudayakan kepada umat islam, program-program kesedaran solat hendaklah dilaksanakan agar generasi remaja faham kewajipan solat, dan </span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#ffccff;"><span style="color:#99ff99;">5.

But the difference was almost unchanged even when we eliminated these factors," Kuriyama said.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Main reasons</strong></span> <span style="color:#ccccff;">for the shorter lifespans of skinny people were believed to include their heightened</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>vulnerability to diseases such as pneumonia and the fragility of their blood vessels</strong></span><span style="color:#ccccff;">, he said.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;">But Kuriyama warned he was not recommending people eat as much as they want.</span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;">"It's better that thin people try to gain normal weight, but we doubt it's good for people of normal physique to put on more fat," he said.</span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;">The study divided people into four weight classes at age 40 according to their body mass index, or BMI, calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their squared height in metres.<br />The normal range is 18.5 to 25, with thinness defined as under 18.5.

Get an Early Start.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">Make a habit of washing your face a few hours before bed. If you wait until you're tired, you're more likely to blow it off -- allowing "toxins and dirt to stay on there all night," says dermatologist Laurie Polis of N.Y.C. Another consequence? You miss the best time to treat your skin. "At night there's more blood flow to the skin's surface, and there's nothing else on your face to interfere with absorption,".</span><br /><span style="color:#66ffff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#66ffff;">Try: Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing nightly cleanser, $7; at drugstores.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">2. Sleep on Your Back.</span><span style="color:#66ffff;">Note to Audrey Hepburn fans: Lying on your stomach is bad for "beauty sleep." The average head weighs 7 to 8 pounds -- a lot of pressure to be putting on your face every night. In fact, many dermatologists say they can tell what side of the face people sleep on by the number of wrinkles there.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">3. Get a Lift.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows, or put the headrest area of your bed on 2- to 4-inch pieces of wood. Gravity helps lymph and blood flow so fluid won't accumulate.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">4. Save Money, Not Wrinkles.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">At night you don't need to worry about eye treatments smearing your makeup, so slather on the richest formula you can. Polis swears by Aquaphor: "It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">5. Sneak a Glow</span>.<span style="color:#66ffff;">Mix a drop of self-tanner into your night cream or use a cream that contains a bit of tan-producing DHA.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">6. Avoid Carb Face.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">To wake with defined cheekbones, eat a high-protein, low-sugar dinner (try salmon and asparagus, a natural diuretic). Skip the rice, pasta and potatoes. "When our diet's high in glycemic carbohydrates, our features take on a soft, doughy appearance," says Connecticut dermatologist Nicholas Perricone.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">7. Wrap It UpTo minimize.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">A.M. frizz, sleep on a satin pillowcase or put your hair in a silk scarf. "Those fabrics are much softer than cotton, so there's less friction," says Harry Josh, a John Frieda stylist.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;"><span style="font-size:180%;">8. Find Your Inner Ballerina</span>.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">Pile hair into a twist on the top of your head (use a scrunchie to avoid crimping). "In the morning you'll have major volume and beautiful waves," Josh says.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">9. Turn on the Hair Conditioning.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">Sleep with a moisturizing treatment in damp hair overnight. We like Philip B. Katira Hair Masque, but any rich conditioner will do. Rinse in the morning.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffccff;">10. Pop a Rooster Pill.</span> <span style="color:#66ffff;">Trust us, we were skeptical. But after swallowing two Wake Up on Time pills at 11 P.M., we found it much easier to get out of bed seven hours later. Created by a sleep-deprived single mother, the pills contain an energizing blend of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12 and guarana-seed extract. It's formulated with a coating that releases ingredients into your bloodstream toward the end of your last sleep cycle, so you wake up feeling clear-headed, not fuzzy.</span>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-59176443515866163752009-06-16T19:17:00.000-07:002009-06-16T19:22:36.388-07:00<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#ff6600;">KITA BERTANYA</span> : "KENAPA AKU DIUJI?" </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#ffcc00;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#33ff33;">QURAN MENJAWAB</span>: "Apakah manusia itu mengira bahawa mereka dibiarkan saja mengatakan; "Kami telah beriman," ("I am full of faith to Allah") sedangkan mereka tidak diuji?

She said thanks' andgave me a kiss on the cheek.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dontwant to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy,and I dont know why.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">**************** 11th grade ****************</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. </span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how herlove had broke her heart. </span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">She asked me to comeover because she didn't want to be alone,so I did. </span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">As I sat next to her on the sofa,I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie,and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep.She looked at me, said 'thanks'. I love her but I'mjust too shy, and I dont know why.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">**************** Senior year ****************</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">The day before prom she walked to my locker. "Mydate is sick" she said, he's not gonna go" well,I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,we made a promise that if neither of us had dates,we would go together-just as 'best friends'.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">So we did.Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her asshe smiled at me and stared at me with hercrystal eyes. </span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Then she said- "I had the best time,thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek.I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dontwant to be just friends but I'm just too shy.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before Icould blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angle up onstage to get her diploma.Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as i hugged her.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Then she lifted her head from my shoulderand said-'you're my best friend, thanks' andgave me a kiss on the cheek.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl isgetting married. </span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">That girl is getting married now.I watched her say'i do' and drive off to her new life,married to another man. I wanted her to be mine,but she didn't see me like that,and I knew it. </span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">But before she drove away,she came to me and said 'you came!'.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'. At the service,they read diary entry she had wrote in her high school years.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he wasmine; but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it.I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't wantto be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy,and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me heloved me!'I wish I did too...' I thought to my self, and i cried.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ffff00;">p/s: no film has ever made this type of storyline..</span><br /><br /><em><span style="color:#ffccff;">Though none go with me, i'll still walk..</span></em>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-74184591432884933822009-05-14T23:15:00.000-07:002009-05-14T23:20:09.494-07:0015MEI1948<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCM2P_fCCMX8uYNyWXmm5ecKy0vqxsMDEWI9CuTeYLE4TL6N-SgZRmJDxcFXMQkKJD35FLedCl43PzqOiFlh1Z-Tbt15onqGRXi1v1HHsBSoo1zGD7VDl0-GJDfGe4J9aD_L4YjhKoCbm7/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335931535926443106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCM2P_fCCMX8uYNyWXmm5ecKy0vqxsMDEWI9CuTeYLE4TL6N-SgZRmJDxcFXMQkKJD35FLedCl43PzqOiFlh1Z-Tbt15onqGRXi1v1HHsBSoo1zGD7VDl0-GJDfGe4J9aD_L4YjhKoCbm7/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuVxeptAhcCVYCbKEBqwrXtxmPiybFmy0yiqLkHBsyCk18zzV5BTCajXNuXkfTIE9BrJ0B1O58awDTe_Nu6b4fwHAT9348bj-_qaDqe10GH5xaq0as_4-WtsquNQPJSGKxGnRVrkTDrBTx/s1600-h/gaza_strip_destruction.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335930590788190146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 215px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuVxeptAhcCVYCbKEBqwrXtxmPiybFmy0yiqLkHBsyCk18zzV5BTCajXNuXkfTIE9BrJ0B1O58awDTe_Nu6b4fwHAT9348bj-_qaDqe10GH5xaq0as_4-WtsquNQPJSGKxGnRVrkTDrBTx/s320/gaza_strip_destruction.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-54326569424835883832009-04-18T00:02:00.000-07:002009-04-18T00:24:57.632-07:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxEZeXl5yUxonyPACLaPkYfQfRvLkDiLBNnoYSGmBkgHIGTk5YksxkJlEceFrLhi6AXcSYg8-x6DW4DnDNGDdB4VwWVF8c4Ba0N-Mmfolk6kiUSwUq5q-0cpJPDGy9_A8CZ6ZxwBbeMMav/s1600-h/69.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325925805471477522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxEZeXl5yUxonyPACLaPkYfQfRvLkDiLBNnoYSGmBkgHIGTk5YksxkJlEceFrLhi6AXcSYg8-x6DW4DnDNGDdB4VwWVF8c4Ba0N-Mmfolk6kiUSwUq5q-0cpJPDGy9_A8CZ6ZxwBbeMMav/s320/69.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;">whoa..69 days to go!!..69 days to live in Penang..69 days to be cracked by mpharm dose..69 days to greet the guards every morning... 69 days to sakit dada...69 days to contemplate whether shall I eat from mamak's air tgn..or from typical malay food..or from spageti latuna chili the only food I can superbly cook (that is out of the can ofcourse)..haha..what more..i sure hell miss this place..<br /></span><br /></div>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-48357141401718158252009-04-04T08:51:00.000-07:002009-04-04T19:46:20.057-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVteEHjT6i6e1asG-Kij8K40Fijbv3iZuzUJrLSOLCoTZlq2Bozp6I6F9_ZE2ZUOBUoTcs74uJC4AjMyhWp3mJDPuZewPJNNEZ_kZJk3iN7l9NiFODTa91lxeAKuwXV18QUob4XhbHaSR/s1600-h/C95485D22521F7B1E8ED2B30A493D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321033100055530722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVteEHjT6i6e1asG-Kij8K40Fijbv3iZuzUJrLSOLCoTZlq2Bozp6I6F9_ZE2ZUOBUoTcs74uJC4AjMyhWp3mJDPuZewPJNNEZ_kZJk3iN7l9NiFODTa91lxeAKuwXV18QUob4XhbHaSR/s320/C95485D22521F7B1E8ED2B30A493D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#cc66cc;">"We will conserve what we love, we will love what we understand, we will understand what we are taught."</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#3366ff;">-Senegalese poet-</span></div>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-66832885060582416082009-03-02T04:21:00.000-08:002009-03-02T04:28:43.119-08:002009 LIFE Handbook (adapted from a gud friend)<span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>Health:</strong></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcc00;">1.

But instead, he learns that his friend has grown rich and is actually seeking him out to repay the debts he had run up over the years.</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">They go to a bar they used to frequently together, and the friend buys drinks for everyone there. When they ask him how he became so successful, he answers that until only a few days ago, he had been living the role of the "Other".</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">What is the "Other?" they ask.</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">"The Other is the one who thought me what I should be like, but not what I am. The Other believes that it is our obligation to spend our entire life thinking about how to get our hands on as much money as possible so that we will not die of hunger when we are old. So we think so much about money and our plans for acquiring it that we discover we are alive only when our days on earth are practically done. And then it's too late".</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">"And you? Who are you?"</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">"I am just like everyone else who listens to their heart: a person who is enchanted by the mystery of life. Who is open to miracles, who experiences joy and ethusiasm for what they do. It's just that the Other, afraid of disappointment, kept me from taking action."</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">"But there is suffering in life," one of the listeners said.</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">"And there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggle for your dreams than to be defeated without ever even knowing what you're fighting for."</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">"That's it?" another listener asked.</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">"Yes, that's it. When I learned this, I resolved to become the person I had always wanted to be. The Other stood there in the corner of my room, watching me, but I will never let the Other into mysel again- even though it has already tried to frighten me, warning me that it's risky not to think about the future.</span><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;">From the moment that I ousted the Other from my life, the Divine Energy began to perform its miracle."</span><br /><br />p/s: I dont think it's wrong to take a bit of the Other into ourselves to survive.

Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot each it.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">A lot of blood has been shed in those fields out there, some of the cruelest battles of Spain's war to expel the Moors were fought on them. Who was in the right or who knew the truth does not matter, what's most important is knowing that both sides were fighting the good fight.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">The good fight is the one we fight because our heart asks it of us. In the heroic ages, at the time of the knights in armor- this was easy. There were lands to conquer and much to do. Today, though, the world has change a lot, and the good fight has shifted from the battlefields to the fields within ourselves.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">The good fight is the one that's fought in the name of our dreams. When we're young and our dreams first explode inside us with all of their force, we are very courageous, but we havent yet learned how to fight. With great effort, we learn how to fight, but by then we no longer have the courage to go into combat. So we turn against ourselves and do battle within. We become our own worst enemy. We say our dreams were childish, or too difficult to realize, or the result of our not having known enough about life. We kill our dreams because we are afraid to fight the good fight.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">The first symptom of the process of our killing our dreams is the lack of time. THE BUSIEST PEOLPLE I HAVE KNOWN IN MY LIFE ALWAYS HAVE TIME ENOUGH TO DO EVERYTHING. I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">The second symptom of the death of our dreams lies in our certainties. Because we don't want to see life as a grand adventure, we begin to think of ourselves as wise and fair and correct in asking so little of life. We look beyond the walls of our day-to-day existence, and we hear the sound of lances breaking, we smell the dust and the sweat, and we see the great defeats and the fire in the eyes of the worriors. But we never see the delight, the immense delight in the hearts of those who are engaged in the battle. For them, neither victory nor defeat is important, what's important is only that they are fighting the good fight.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">And, finally, the 3rd symptom of the passing of our dreams is peace. Life becomes a Sunday afternoon; we ask for nothing grand, and we cease to demand anything more than we are willing to give. In that state, we think of ourselves as being mature; we put aside the fantasies of our youth, and we seek personal and professional achievement. We are surprised when people our age say that they still want this or that out of life. But really, deep in our hearts, we know that what has happened is that we have renounced the battle for our dreams- we have refused to fight the good fight.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">When we renounce our dreams and find peace, we go through a short period of tranquility. But the dead dreams begin to rot within us and to infect our entire being. We become cruel to those around us, and then we begin to direct this cruelty against ourselves. That's when illness and psychoses arise. What we sought to avoid combat-disappointment and defeat-came upon us because of our cowardice. And one day, the dead, spoiled dreams make it difficult to breathe, and we actually seek death. It's death that free us from our certainties, from our work, and from that terruble peace of our Sunday afternoon......</span>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-54723006588754206552008-12-17T09:05:00.000-08:002008-12-17T09:17:29.567-08:00Damn Too Good..Perfecto!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXv_Y-blj6yKQoJbIkb2d0mJxtTIx22t_45-Bq39D7JXkUhhXDR1QTXtSmYLSPEir0OQG7O_vcO8PbJ19Q3qhwL-nni9ge6m5KU1sHV6xZE27SjJLqzDnmgTWKYnWqkYa3OMY5-Fsim8D/s1600-h/too+good.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280806542250974146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 344px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 315px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXv_Y-blj6yKQoJbIkb2d0mJxtTIx22t_45-Bq39D7JXkUhhXDR1QTXtSmYLSPEir0OQG7O_vcO8PbJ19Q3qhwL-nni9ge6m5KU1sHV6xZE27SjJLqzDnmgTWKYnWqkYa3OMY5-Fsim8D/s320/too+good.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;">Photoed by Teuku Jody Zulkarnaen..My HERO..hahaha..please visit these websites for more cool pics! soo inspiring..</span></div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickzzz.com/2008/11/performance-by-teuku-jody-zulkarnaen.html"><span style="font-size:130%;">http://www.flickzzz.com/2008/11/performance-by-teuku-jody-zulkarnaen.html</span></a></div><div align="center"><a href="http://photo.net/photos/bacs"><span style="font-size:130%;">http://photo.net/photos/bacs</span></a> </div>Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10522097962537838199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767620269777670735.post-49590021243269005152008-12-11T07:17:00.001-08:002008-12-11T07:26:08.164-08:00Surah Al-Kautsar<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGauRhN7DSXezWB-sSGaKsT69xomofSsQzD1kGKP3dHLTestcFzsWTvB9SKVnEEezbtOugqZ57VGp1_8dnQ7u9tUNYYCI8_2hQy081D9ego8dCm9dJkKY8RChqhJOgtz6JhbKI1YJ3p18Q/s1600-h/surah.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278553348568697506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 186px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGauRhN7DSXezWB-sSGaKsT69xomofSsQzD1kGKP3dHLTestcFzsWTvB9SKVnEEezbtOugqZ57VGp1_8dnQ7u9tUNYYCI8_2hQy081D9ego8dCm9dJkKY8RChqhJOgtz6JhbKI1YJ3p18Q/s320/surah.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Surah ini paling pendek, hanya mengandungi 3 ayat & diturunkan di Makkahdan bermaksud sungai di syurga.
