MY DREAMS COMES TRUE!
It was truly amazing, talking about our dreams, our desires, our hopes and what we want to become in the future. :)
Yesterday I did that and felt really wonderful! I write what I want and expect over the years. I wrote all of that with the beginning of the sentence "I feel very happy and grateful because ..." I call it "Journal of Prosperity"
After I finished writing, I read it again before I go to sleep. I do this to foster confidence in myself, my thoughts, and my feelings; That all of MY DREAM WILL BE COMES TRUE. To build all these beliefs, it's not very easy. I have to write and rip all the negative emotions (such as a sense of doubt, fear, impossibility, worries, until the feeling of how my dream will comes true). After I tore it all, I feel better. I found a safe and comfort way to remove it from myself.
I just need to make sure and clarify about my dreams in my mind and in my heart.
I just need to answer the questions of WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHO. After I make sure all of that, the answer about HOW will be come by itself. Just that easy! ^-^
I want to sleep and wake up with positive emotion and energy. It all depends on the CHOICE and our PERSPECTIVE.
Whatever we think and feel, apart from the things we want or not, we will get it. If we are always thinking of the things that we undesirable, then that's what we'll get. And if we are always thinking of the things that we want, we will get it. This is THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.
So, we should fill our minds and feelings with the things that we are want to get.
This morning (On 22 October 2010), I read it (My Journal of Prosperity) again. I am grateful and really feel good. Every time, I will instill confidence about it.
I know, I am successful, I am happy, I am young, I am charming, I am smart, I am wise, I am lucky, I am beautiful, I am fill with love, peace, lovely families, blessings and miracles.
I have my dream's home, my dream car, famous, inspirational and motivational, and I own my ever after happy life.

The Best Day On October 2010
I am feeling grateful for three days in this October, that's On 18 October 2010, 19 October 2010 and 20 October 2010.
- 18 October 2010 -
On this day, I sleep at 04.00 a.m. But this is okay, because i had completed my dream "From Love For Love".
"From Love For Love", It is not my first writing. The first time I start to wrote it, is on June 16th 2007 and finish this book on December 22nd 2007. Then, in 2010, I rewrote this story. And now, I am very satisfied with the story I had written back.
Finally..
This is the moment that I wait for a long time. Now I can smile and feeling grateful. I can also hear singing of dream in my mind and my heart. Nothing else is more extraordinary than than knowing the truth that my dream will be reached.
- 19 October 2010 -
On this day, I already print out all of my writing "From Love For Love". Total of this book is 254 pages. ^-^
There was no mistake at all. Perfect! Amazing! Today, I can hear an angel singing in my head, give me luck; congratulate me; and whisper to my ears and say "Every great things in this life always comes to your life." After that, I smile and feeling grateful again.
- 20 October 2010 -
Well, today is my great day too. :)
Since two days ago, I tried to focus to write a good synopsis and suitable for my story "From Love For Love". During the two days, I don't write anything. I have not found a synopsis as beautiful as I want.
I wanted to write something, even though the shortest of any kind, but can send the right message and touch the hearts of readers. This is one of the reason why I love to write.

Above all the things, I just wanna say : Thanks you so much God.
The best things in my life is God, my lovely family and my dream! You're the Miracle in my beautiful life.

Never underestimate the power of your actions.
My friend named Jaison, sending true story that touched my heart. So, I wanna share this amazing story about life, friendship and attitude for all of you. I hope this story useful for all of you.
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?
He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends’ tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes , my heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks.
" They really should get lives”.
"He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends
He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!
"He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
When we were seniors we began to think about college.
Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great.
He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.
He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous! Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
"Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began
"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.
Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...
I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions.
With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.
God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.
You now have two choices, you can:
1) Pass this on to your friends or
2) Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.
As you can see, I took choice number 1.
"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
So, never and ever underestimate the power of your actions. From your action and attitude, you can give others life, hope and attitude. You can change a person's life. Then, you'll see God smile to you, everyone smile to you. Even your heart smile back to you. That's truly amazing!

About "How", this Universe will show it to me.
I just believe that "I Will."

The History Of Wedding Bands
The History Of Wedding Bands
These days, many people take wedding bands and engagement rings for granted, and although they give these beautiful items of jewellery with integrity and love, they are often given with no real knowledge of the meaning behind them.
Both wedding bands and engagement rings are very special items of jewellery; in fact, they are more than just jewellery - they are the symbols of many emotions and promises such as:
Both wedding bands and engagement rings are very special items of jewellery; in fact, they are more than just jewellery - they are the symbols of many emotions and promises such as:
- Love
- Commitment
- Fidelity
- Eternity
- Honour
But where - and why - did these popular and sentimental pieces of jewellery stem from?
These items of jewellery have a history that spans many centuries and passes through many countries from all around the planet. Below, you will find a brief history of the wedding and engagement ring, as reported from country to country.
EGYPTIANS
The now-famous wedding band is thought to have originated in Ancient Egypt, where it is said that plant sections were fashioned in to circles to signify never-ending and immortal love. It was thought that the fourth finger (which we now know as the ring finger) contained a special vein that was connected directly to the heart, and therefore this became the official finger for the wedding band.

ROMANS
The Romans also agreed with the Egyptians with regards to the wedding ring finger and its meaning, but rather than offering wedding bands as a symbol of love, they awarded them as a symbol of ownership. Roman men would "claim" their woman with the giving of a ring.

Puzzle rings were a complex type of jewellery that were once popular in Asia, and these jewels had the charming knack of being able to fall apart and put back together again - if you knew how to do this, of course. Wealthy Middle Eastern men then began to use these rings as wedding bands for their wives, who were often forced to wear a puzzle ring when their husband was away. The husband would know upon his return whether any of his wives had been disloyal by removing the ring whilst he was away, because the ring was designed to collapse upon removal and could only be put together again if you had the skill and knowledge required.
EUROPEANS
Several centuries ago, the Europeans became rather taken with what we would class as an engagement ring, but was then called a Poesy Ring. This ring was given to a loved one as a form of promise, and signified fidelity and love. The Poesy Ring was offered as a pledge of eternal togetherness, much as today's engagement rings are offered as a promise of eternal marriage.

AMERICANS
During Colonial times, all items of jewellery in America were prohibited due to their apparent moral worthlessness. Instead, a more practical thimble was given as a token of love and as a pledge of eternal togetherness. However, after they were married, the women tended to remove the bottom of their "engagement thimble" to form a type of ring.

The engagement ring of today also has its own varied and interesting history, some of which is explored below. Engagement rings have been known by many different names, have symbolised a variety of different things and have not always been made of precious metals and stunning gems!

GREEKS
The ancient Greeks are thought to have been the forerunners in the rising of the traditional engagement ring. Given as a token of care and affection, the rings used by the Greeks were known as betrothal rings and were given before marriage. However, the giving of these rings was not always a pre-requisite to marriage and was often given in the same way as a friendship ring might be given today.

ROMANS
As seen by their use of the wedding ring, ancient Romans weren't the most sentimental of people, and the early version of their "engagement ring" were thought to have carved keys on them. It has been debated that this could have been to symbolise the woman's right to access and own half of everything following marriage. However, the more sentimental like to think that the key may have been a key to her husband's heart.

ROYALTY AND THE AFFLUENT
Engagement rings as we know them today - stunning gems encased in precious metals - became popular in around the fourteenth or fifteenth century, when the affluent and the royals began to exchange and wear these jewels. However, these items were so expensive that nobody other than the royals and the rich could afford to exchange them. It was to be many centuries before these engagement rings would become more popular or traditional.

Why a ring?
The purpose of engagement rings and wedding bands is to convey deep emotions of eternal love, eternal happiness, eternal commitment, and eternal togetherness. In fact, these rings signify eternity - between the giver and the recipient. A ring, of course, is a complete circle with no break and no end or beginning, which means that it just goes on and on - it is eternal.
And, since folklore has it that the fourth finger of the left hand has a vein leading directly to the heart, it is only natural that both engagement and wedding rings would be worn on this particular finger, which was once reputed to be a direct route to the heart.

In short, it is clear that the giving of a ring in honour of a union, betrothal, and marriage has been going on since ancient times, and although it may not always have been as glamorous and romantic as it is today, it was still a way of exchanging a contract of betrothal or marriage.
Thankfully, today's wedding bands and engagement rings are not made of hair, grass, plants or twine as they may have been in ancient times, but of beautiful metals set with stunning gems, such as platinum, titanium, white gold, gold, sapphires, diamonds, rubies and emeralds. These incredible items of jewellery are likely to remain as popular as ever as the centuries go by, and even as the rest of the world advances in to a futuristic and technological age, it's hard to imagine a day where a beautiful diamond engagement ring doesn't melt the heart of its recipient..READ LOTS OF INFORMATION ON WEDDING AT : http://online-articles.org/marriage-wedding/site-map.php

My Thought about Life, Formal & Self Education.
Well, i am truly falling in love so much with w.r.i.t.i.n.g !! I don't know how to say, how to describe it, but i can sure that all i see, hear, say, feel, think; all of them tell me about w.r.i.t.i.n.g. I want to be a Famous - an Inspirational Writer.
And Guess what?! I am studying about Accounting in my Formal Education. It's not about Journalism. I choose it because it's the good choice compared to other options when the options don't have about Journalism. Although it's not my truly wish to do, of course I keep my responsibility for it. I want to do it well and make my lovely Mom proud with me. I want to show her that I am truly appreciate for all of the great things which she gave me.
I will keep responsibility and do my best for this Formal Education although i know this is not my real desire. W.r.i.t.i.n.g is more than a Formal Education for me. It's include my Self Education. It's my Dream. It's my Desire. I love it, want to do it, want to live inside it because my heart, my mind and all of the voice inside of me tell me "This is your Fate" I want to bring out the best in me for all of people around me and for this world. I want to create my wonderful and simple history for This Universe as Mery Violetta.
I close my eyes and think, how different my past's view and my present's view. MV at the past think that Formal Education is "Everything". It's my future. But now, so different. I know that Formal Education is Important. But Formal education is not "Everything" anymore. It just means "Something" for me.I don't know how this thought could come into my life, but i am truly grateful that it could come. From that thought, I can realize that my life, myself, my wonderful future, my desire, my success are more than a Formal Education.
"Formal Education can make me and us a living, but Self Education can make me and us a Fortune."
I promise myself to do my Formal Education as well as i can. But the priority, of course it's my Self Education.
Formal Education make me become qualified and intelligent men, and other side, Self Education teach me how to get my great personality and to be a wise men.
If somebody ask me which one i will choose?
So, i will say that I choose both. It's all about "choice". Your life is your choice, right?!! Why i should choose one of them, if i can get and do both? If somebody choose one of them, this is them, their choice. Not Me!!
I know i can't control everything that happens in my life. But i know and sure, i can control "My Attitude" to face all of these things.
So, your life is your choice. Just choose "To Be" or "Not To Be"
My life is my choice. I choose "To Be"
How about you?!!
Love Me,
MV
