Do you enjoy being single?
2007-01-29 03:38:00
No one wants to be stay single forever. When you do find someone special your heart will know that, and you would like to say that you met Mr. Right. The perfect guy that every woman dreams to have. But does this really exist? Or it's just in the imagination. I believe in this world its getting harder and harder to meet Mr. Right, right?I believe that a good woman will find a good man. And woman always want a man with well educated, smart, good looking and in good shape is what she’s dreaming of. But keep in mind that nobody is perfect. I believe, many of single women are waiting that some day this special man will come. But, man and woman love differently. Woman is taught to love man as the totality of their life. Woman can become totally subsumed by the love of a man, whereas a man can keep a woman as part of his experience. This is an imbalance that can lead to deeply unsatisfying experiences for woman because man never seem to love as much. Remember, when woman chooses to lo...

Cancer Found More Often in Dense Breast
2007-01-25 08:45:00
Past research has shown that women with "dense" breasts are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than women whose breasts are less "dense." Dense breasts contain more glandular and connective tissue. Less dense breasts are mainly made up of fat tissue. But every woman has different amounts of the different types of tissue in her breasts.Brea st cancer itself is made up of dense tissue. This means that, on a mammogram, a tumor is harder to spot in dense tissue than in fatty tissue, because the tumor looks a lot like the tissue around it. So one possible explanation for the higher rate of breast cancer in women with dense breasts is that mammograms are less likely to find tumors early in those women. But researchers don't believe this is the whole story. Past research suggests some type of link between dense breasts and a higher risk for breast cancer.Click HERE for details.SOURCE: www.breastcancer.org

The “War” Begins
2007-01-25 07:08:00
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and, maybe, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, will against each other for president of United State in 2008. One of these women will probably be the first woman president of the United States. But the question is how many men in America will vote them? Are men ready to accepting woman as their president? I think they’re not ready for that. So, it won’t happen. Why Hillary? Well, she has “power”, rich, ex-first Lady and the greatest fund-raiser in the Democratic Party. Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton is very smart woman, but she has a story problem (actually not her, but husband, Mr. Bill Clinton). Bill had scandal with Monica Lewinsky. I’m just curious how many people of America hate Bill Clintton. The most important is that scandal never bothers her ambition. Her husband and daughter, Chelsea, will support her campaigns. Why she wanted to be a president? She worried about her country and wanted to put it back on the right path. (Yes, stop the Iraq war…!!...

I must admit that over 5 month, I focus on changing negative thought processing into positive. This aims to show me how to identify negative thought patterns and give me positive ways. But too much change too quickly can often be a source of stress and imbalance in my lives.Stress is anything that makes you feel tense, angry, frustrated or unhappy. How to handling this feeling when it comes to you? If you have money, you may look for help or you can face it by yourself and find your own therapies. When you go to the doctor and bring a list of symptoms and feelings, you thought (or maybe you hoping) that you will get a miracle pill to make it all goes away. You are wrong. That’s not always the answer to solving what you feel. I will refer you to go to a counselor or best friend and talking it out. It’s good for you. I believe that they will be able to assist you in examining your causes of stress and suggest ways for you to deal with it better. Because everybody knows woman alway...

female life guards to wear “Burqini”
2007-01-09 03:50:00
Australia's life saving association, Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA), plans to deploy Muslim life guards, including women, at some of its beaches in Sydney in an attempt to improve its image and counter charges of racist bias. According to the report, SLSA wants to move away from the image of bronzed and blond life savers.Twenty-year-old female Lebanese life guard Mecca Laalaa, who works at the Cronulla Beach in Sydney, hopes to qualify this week for a job with SLSA, which represents 115,000 volunteers in over 300 clubs.Mecca is one of a group of Muslims of Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian and Palestinian origins who hope to become fully qualified life guards when they take their exams this week. The 24 recruits began a 10-week training course in November and have since been reduced to 14.Female Muslim recruits had a problem because their religion prohibits them from wearing a Baywatch-style bikini. So a local designer of Lebanese background came up with an excellent idea – the "Burq...

Keith Ellison Swears In On Quran
2007-01-06 03:27:00
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Happy to hear Mr.Keith Elliot puts his hand on the holy Qur’an and takes the oath in his office yesterday (1/4/2007). Happy because he is the first Muslim and first african American who elected to US Congress. Of course as muslim he use Al Quran for his swearing in ceremony, but as usual it brought criticism in US. Why? Because -I’m sorry if I say- “the orthodox” argued that only the bible can be used for swearing in. If you won’t use that book, don’t serve in congress. It’s mean that only Christians can sit in congress. Am I wrong? Well...I think, religious differences are nothing to be afraid of. A Man like Virgil Goode should be learn more about Islam, and tell him there’s nothing to fear about muslim. The more muslims will be elected to congress means that you’ll be more democratic. I think people like Mr. Goode should be...

Dance and Watching TV in Islam view
2006-12-19 08:13:00
Islam doesn’t prevent people from having entertainment but Islam itself provides the rules. At the same time, Islam does not tolerate any kind of entertainment that contains haram or even leads to haram behavior. Dancing can be either between women, between men, or mixed between both sexes. It is allowed for women to dance together unless it involves revealing any of the woman’s `awrah – that is, the parts of the body between the navel and the knee – in front of other women. It is also allowed unless the dancing means that mandatory obligations will not be carried out or if it coincides with unlawful acts. However, if a woman dances in front of her husband, then there is no restriction, as it is a way of cementing relations between spouses – and this a key pillar of establishing the Muslim family.For details Here

Ruqaya Al Ghasara, distinct in her Arab dress code with a hijab and long track pants, when she created history at the Asian Games in Doha on a cold and windy day at the Khalifa Stadium on Monday (12 December, 2006). She won gold in 23.19 seconds, beating her rivals, Guzel Khubbieva of Uzbekistan and Susanthika Jayasinghe of Sri Lanka.

FEMALE CONDOM (Femidom)
2006-12-13 05:48:00
“Female condom? Are you serious? I have known about men condoms, but condom for female…? You must be kidding me.” There are many questions in my mind. Have you seen female condoms? How many have used female condoms. How to use it, where to find it? In Jakarta, female condoms were launched by BKKBN (badan kesejahteraan keluarga berencana nasional), last October. But most of women here, I believe, still don’t know about femidom (female condom). It’s true. If my friend didn’t tell me about it, I will never know about female condom. I believe they don’t know anything about femidom, and they must be laughing to hear that. Believe me…Unlike the male condom, the female condom is made of a stronger but thinner material and is bigger in size. It can be inserted into the body as much as eight hours before intercourse. It’s flexible plastic tube worn inside the vagina. A soft ring at the closed end of the tube covers the cervix during intercourse and holds it inside the vag...

Polygamy Debate in Indonesia
2006-12-07 03:22:00
“Are you agreeing with polygamy?” I said, “yes, why not. Because in Islam man allowed to have more than one wife. The Qur'an has explicitly given permission for a man to marry two or three or four and no one has the authority to make a contract forbidding something that has been granted by Allah.” They’ve got my answer (and I believe they also disappointed with it) because I told them the truth about polygamy. Islam allowed polygamy only if the man / husband could be just and fair towards all his wives. So, can you be really just?Indo nesia government is move to extend the ban on polygamy to all Indonesian state officials from practicing polygamy. This regulation comes after the most popular Islamic preacher and a charismatic preacher Aa Gym (Kiyai Haji Abdullah Gymnastiar) took a second wife, despite a consent from the first who gave him seven children. We know that Aa Gym has nationwide fans of mostly women and is portrayed a role model as a perfect husband, as well as m...

Stop AIDS, Save the Children

The AIDS epidemic is worse and growing fast, after 25 years it was first identified and causes HIV and found in every country in the world. And now in 2006, 39.5 million People are living with HIV around the world, increase of nearly 1 million on 2005 estimates, and 2.6 million on 2004 figures. It is thought that a total of 4.3 million people were infected with HIV in 2006 alone, and around 2.9 million people died of AIDS during this period. Two-thirds of those with HIV are living in sub-Saharan Africa, and one third of all global AIDS deaths in 2006. Half a million children became infected with HIV because their mothers didn’t have access to drugs to prevent them passing on the virus. Without treatment and half these children will die by 2008.

Casino Royale; Different Bond but Still a Great Film
2006-11-23 04:03:00
I've seen Casino Royale yesterday and Daniel Craig has made Bond his own. Yes, I really like 007 movies even though Daniel isn’t as cute as Pierce Brosnan, but I salute him. We meet the new Bond here. This new James Bond is dangerous, seductive, along with his irradiated blue eyes. Of course, he can't replace Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton or Pierce Brosnan, but he brings a ferocity and sinewy sexiness to the part (he's naked in torture scene) that's totally new. Again I would say that Daniel Craig does very differently. He does him better. And I hope he does him for a good long timeI know that this film is a remake but mainly all the 007 films of the franchise are in reference with something about bad guy / terrorism. And the most important thing is that I really liked Casino Royale rather than Tomorrow Never Dies. This film has the explosions and the drama features that really bring out what a 007 film is suppose to be.I don’t really know all the cast members th...

Welcome to Bogor Mr.George W. Bush
2006-11-20 05:13:00
Thousands of Indonesian Muslims demonstrated across the country to protest against President George Bush 's visit and branding Mr. Bush as the world's number-one terrorist and Bush, the Master Terrorist. The security is very tight now, especially around the palace in Bogor, with rifle-toting soldiers, police and members of the elite anti-terror squad patrolling the streets. In Jakarta - Bogor, maybe, around 10,000 demonstrators dressed with their own attribute snarled traffic in the capital, some carrying banners that said Punish Bush the war criminal. The protestors, from several Muslim groups including the hardline Islamic Defender Front (FPI) and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, also threatened of a no-confidence motion against Yudhoyono in parliament. Today, Mr. George W . Bush and president SBY will discuss about education, health, investment, poverty and co-operation on anti-terrorism. However, officials on both sides have played down prospects of major new agreements.Well, we are li...

Hijab is Women Muslim Identity
2006-11-14 06:13:00
Not only in British, France and Tunisia, the Dutch government also announced to calling Muslim women to take their hijabs off. If this issued such a ruling, so this country, perhaps, will be the first European state to impose a nationwide ban on Muslims’ face veils. And the worst thing is that Dutch government will take women who taking a hijab as criminal and Dutch lawmakers also asked Immigration to examine the feasibility of such proposal. I wonder how come Netherlands against women to wearing hijab, even thought their legislation contradict Dutch religious freedom laws, in such case they allow homosexuality and abnormal behaviors. This case makes me think that Europeans countries don’t want a substantial Muslim presence in their societies. And what the Dutch government is doing now is totally wrong. They must be allowed their citizens to practice their own religions. If not, let say that the Dutch government and their people incompatible with any religion.The Hijab should no...

Make Peace Not WarThis morning, I read The Straits Times and surprised to know that a local radio station in Kediri – East Java had held a drawing and coloring contest to portray Denmark’s Royalty. I think it was held in retaliation against the publication of cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad in Danish newspaper last year. Well, I think it’s not good for young people in future.There are more than seventy kindergarten and high school competed to depict Danish Royalty from Queen Margareth II to King Gorm with the bodies of pigs. High school student did cartoon sketches and kindergarten youngsters colored them in. For the contest, the contest's chief organizer offered total prize money of 5 million rupiah and the winning sketches will be sent to Denmark. Why pigs?

Why I am So Sad...
2006-10-28 05:12:00
Feeling down? Yup, you're not alone. I’m here to share same feeling with you. Perhaps some people have sad feelings just once in a while, but I have sad feelings pretty often. When you are in a bad mood, it’s like it will forever. Sadness is a feeling. It's a normal human emotions, we all have. Isn’t it? Sadness is the emotion people feel when they have lost something important in life or when we have been disappointed about something or with someone. When we are lonely, we often feel sad. Believe me, you’ll feel that feeling.When we are sad the world seems dark and unfriendly. We feel like you have nothing to look forward to. The hurt deep inside may crush your good mood. That’s makes you want to cry and the tears are hard to stop. I don’t know that crying often makes me feel better or not. When I ask myself, is it natural to feel sad? I asked friends and read books to find the answer, and they said that feeling sad is natural. It comes when you didn't get something...
