LONG VERSION

On 3 May 2010 early morning, I receive an anonymous SMS, and I called back but no reply. He replied that he is Budi and he is at Sydney and could not pick up phone, because it is roaming. He said that he gets my contact from Facebook and he asked whether he still remember him. He asked for my MSN or YM? And he will be back to Surabaya the day after tomorrow. A short while later, he SMS me again to add his MSN at hartonob@live.com. He said he needed help immediately.

In the MSN chatting he said that that his son is in hospital because of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever caused by mosquito (Demam Berdarah) and he needed money for Rp.4,000,000.00 or Rp.5,000,000.00. He said that he did not have any money ready as his family were in Sydney, he will return my money once he gets back to Surabaya, Indonesia on 5 May 2010. I transfer him the money immediately.

The next day 4 May 2010 at 4.37PM, he SMS me again and said that his son is in Emergency Room (ICU). He said he needs another Rp3,000,000.00 and said that his flight is at 3 O’clock to Indonesia, and he will transfer the money as soon as he reach Indonesia. I do not have anymore money, so I could not give him the money.

On 7 May 2010, I SMS him for the transfer and he replied: “Yup bing.after office I will tt.thx bing”

He just had an operation of Appendicitis (Usus Buntu).  Maybe he could call me at night? I am his wife. Tonight I will be going to the hospital. Thank You.” I replied telling her the situation, and she replied in Indonesian Language: “Okay, I will inform him. Does he have your account number? Thank you for your help the other day. GBU.”

On 17 May 2010, I call him for the transfer, but no answer, he SMS in Indonesian Language: “Hello Bing, just now my HP/Cellular Phone’s battery is low. Tomorrow I will TT you the money that I borrow the other day. Sorry it took so long because I just recovered, Bing. Tomorrow after I transfer, I will SMS you. Thanks a lot.”

On 18 May 2010, I SMS him for the transfer and I receive a reply in Indonesian Language: “I had not transferred the money, Bing. I will transfer after work. Thanks.” After work I SMS again and he replied in Indonesian Language: “Soon, I will transfer.”

On 19 May 2010, I SMS him for the transfer and I receive a reply in Indonesian Language: “Tau Bing, I just TT 5 Million from my Citibank account because my BCA (Bank Central Asia) is not enough. Please check today. Thanks sorry it’s so late, maybe the money arrives in the evening. I will Email you the transaction slip.” I did not receive the transaction slip’s Email.

On 3 June 2010, I SMS him for the transfer and I receive a reply in Indonesian Language: “Morning, I am sorry. How much? I receive your SMS but Budi is in China. Next Tuesday (8 June 2010), he will return to Surabaya, Indonesia. Could you contact him again next week? Thank You.” Budi Even give me his China HP/Mobile number which is some random number, a Chinese Lady pick up the phone.

On Tuesday (8 June 2010) onwards, I did not receive any more reply from him and he even DELETE me on my Facebook.

PLEASE COMMENT :)

Hi Mommy!

Hi Mommy!
I am only ¾ of an inch long,
But I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it,
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
Is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two.

Mommy,
Today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
You could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I’m not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three.

You know what Mommy,
I’m a boy!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don’t like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too,
And I cry with you even though
You can’t hear me.

Month Four.

Mommy,
My hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
But I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
And stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.

Month Five.

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I’m not a baby.
I am a baby, Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what’s abortion?

Month Six.

I can hear that doctor again.
I don’t like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can’t get away from it!
Mommy! Help me!

Month Seven.

Mommy,
I am okay.
I am in GOD’s arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn’t you want me, Mommy?

Every abortion is just…

One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

Golden Rules Of Life!

1st
Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life.
Relationships work best when they are balanced.

2nd
Never explain yourself to anyone.
Because the person who likes you doesn't need it, and the person who doesn't like you won't believe it.

3rd
When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free.
When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time.
When you keep saying you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come.

4th
When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices:
Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.
Choice is yours.

5th
We make them cry who care for us.
We cry for those who never care for us.
And we care for those who will never cry for us.
This is the truth of life, it's strange but true.
Once you realize this, it's never too late to change.

6th
Don't make promise when you are in joy.
Don't reply when you are sad.
Don't take decision when you are angry.
Think twice, act twice.

7th
Time is like river. You can't touch the same water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Do it Now!

Movies & Quotes - Primal Fear

Sooner or later a man who wears two faces forgets which one is real.

Marty: Why gamble with money when you can gamble with people's lives? That was a joke. All right, I'll tell you. I believe in the notion that people are innocent until proven guilty. I believe in that notion because I choose to believe in the basic goodness of people. I choose to believe that not all crimes are committed by bad people. And I try to understand that some very, very good people do some very bad things.

Marty: On my first day of law school, my professor says two things. First was; "From this day forward, when your mother tells you she loves you - get a second opinion." 

Jack Connerman: [chuckles] And? 

Marty: "If you want justice, go to a whorehouse. If you wanna get fucked, go to court."

'Cause I want to live like animals

Careless and free like animals

I want to live I want to run through the jungle

With wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I don't have any difficulties keeping to myself

Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf

Sometimes this life can get you down

It's so confusing

And I feel it

'Cause I just run away in my mind
