All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart,
And for us to be together, to never be apart.
No one else in the world can even compare,
You’re perfect and so is this love that we share.
We have so much more than I ever thought we would,
I love you more than I ever thought I could.
I promise to give you all I have to give,
I’ll do anything for you as long as I live.
In your eyes I see our present, our future and past,
By the way you look at me I know we will last.
I hope that one day you’ll come to realize,
How perfect you are when seen through my eyes.

What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure?
What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time’s ceaseless flow?
What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond the angels have ordained?
What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o’erthrow?
What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?
And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life’s brief years?
So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.

I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.
I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, “I Love You,”
And the way you’re always there.
I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

A true friend never walks away
A true will always stay
A true friend looks out for you
A true friend will guard your secrets
Like a precious gift
A true friend is there for you
To give you a helpful lift
A true friend tries to make you smile
Tries to replace that frown
They may not always succeed
But they rarely let you down
These arms for you are open
This heart for you does care
And when I think you need me
I’ll try to always be there
I’ll listen to your fears
I promise not to laugh
Comfort your falling tears
I’ll make this friendship last
I’ll keep you near to my heart
I’ll always hold you dear
Even when we’re miles apart
Even when you’re here
I hope I am to you
Everything you are to me
For the friendship we have
Is a special one indeed.

Will you be there when I’m down,
And catch me when I fall?
Will you hold me when I need
To feel the warmth of your touch?
Will you laugh when I laugh,
And cry when I cry?
Will you let me rant and rave,
When I need to let off steam?
Will you discuss those painful things,
That you’d rather not think about?
Like the times we’ve hurt each other,
And promised would never do so again?
Will you say the right thing,
When all I’ve heard is the wrong?
And tell me soothing words,
That make the pain I feel subside?
Will you understand me when I say,
“I can’t see you now, go away”?
Will you come back when I call,
As if nothing happened at all?
If you’ll do these things for me,

And keep smiling all the way.
If you’ll be with me through the bad times,
As well as the good.
Then truly you are my friend,
My pal, my mate and my confidante.
And that means so much to me.
I thank you dearly, for being there,
You, My Friend.

You’re my friend because you’re always there,
If there’s sadness around or in the air,
At night, in the morning or anytime of day,
You’re there to cheer me up and chase the sadness away.
I just want to thank you for all you’ve done,
You’ve helped me through a lot, you’re really number one.
Thanks for all the good times that we share,
It shows that you’re one who really does care.
Thanks for being there when time got rough,
You make it easier when times get too tough
Thanks for being there each and every day,
Thanks for being you in that very special way.

Thanks for being there for me,
through good times and bad times.
I will be on your side even if the the world ends.
When the world is going,
I will be here,
now and until the end.
Your my very best friend.
The one that I look up to.
The one that I run to, when I have a problem.
The one that I talk to.
Your the one best friend that was always there for me.
I wanna thank you for all the things you gave and showed me.

You are old, father William,” the young man said,
“And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head;
Do you think, at your age, it is right?”
“In my youth,” father William replied to his son,
“I feared it would injure the brain;
But now that I’m perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again.”
“You are old,” said the youth, “as I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door

My mother bore me in the southern wild,
And I am black, but O my soul is white!
White as an angel is the English child,
But I am black, as if bereaved of light.

My mother taught me underneath a tree,
And, sitting down before the heat of day,
She took me on her lap and kissed me,
And, pointing to the East, began to say:

‘Look on the rising sun: there God does live,
And gives His light, and gives His heat away,
And flowers and trees and beasts and men receive
Comfort in morning, joy in the noonday.
‘And we are put on earth a little space,

That we may learn to bear the beams of love;
And these black bodies and this sunburnt face
Are but a cloud, and like a shady grove.
‘For, when our souls have learned the heat to bear,

The cloud will vanish, we shall hear His voice,
Saying, “Come out from the grove, my love and care,
And round my golden tent like lambs rejoice.”‘
Thus did my mother say, and kissed me,
And thus I say to little English boy.

When I from black, and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of God like lambs we joy,
I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our Father’s knee;
And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.

Jika Anda merasa gaptek soal komputer, jangan kuatir
Bukan Anda saja yang merasa demikian.Jim Cartlon, seorang jurnalis Wall Street Journal, baru- baru ini mengumpulkan keluhan dari para konsumen komputer Amerika.
Dan ternyata keluhan mereka jauh lebih “idiot” daripada yang kita kira.
Berikut petikan keluhan2 konsumen yang super konyol & “super moron” itu:

1. Compaq pernah mempertimbangkan untuk mengubah perintah “Press ANY Key” menjadi “Press ENTER Key” dikarenakan banyaknya telefon yang menanyakan letak tombol “ANY” di keyboard.

2. AST Technical Support menerima laporan konsumen karena kesulitan menggunakan mouse. Saat Technical Support berkunjung, mereka menemukan mouse tersebut tidak bisa digunakan… karena masih terbungkus rapi di dalam plastiknya. Penggunanya (seorang wanita) punya phobia (ketakutan) pada mouse (tikus) sehingga tidak berani mengeluarkannya dari dalam plastik.

3. Di tahun 1980-an, ketika disket masih berukuran besar, Teknisi Compaq pernah menerima keluhan seorang konsumen yang disketnya tidak terbaca oleh drive-disk komputer. Setelah diselidiki, ternyata konsumen itu sebelumnya memasukkan disket ke dalam mesin tik dan mengetikkan label yang tertempel di disket itu.

4. Sebuah keluhan lain dari konsumen AST yang mengatakan disket mereka terkena virus yang sulit dibersihkan. Petugas AST meminta orang itu mengirimkan kopi disket yang terinfeksi itu untuk dipelajari. Beberapa hari kemudian, petugas AST menerima foto kopi disket dari konsumen tersebut.

5. Seorang konsumen DELL mengeluhkan kalau dia tidak dapat mengirimkan fax via komputer.
Setelah diarahkan selama 40 menit lewat telepon, petugas DELL menemukan kalau konsumen itu mencoba mengefax via komputer dengan cara menempelkan kertas yang akan di fax di depan monitor.

6. Seorang konsumen DELL lain mengeluh karena keyboard yang digunakannya sudah tidak bisa berfungsi sejak dibersihkan. Ketika ditanya caranya membersihkan keyboard, dia menjelaskan, “Saya mencuci dan menggosok semua bagian keyboard dengan sabun, lalu membilasnya dengan air, dan menjemurnya. ”

7. Seorang konsumen DELL marah besar karena tidaK bisa menyalakan komputer yang baru dibelinya. “Semua sudah terpasang dengan baik.
Tapi setiap kali saya tekan pedal kaki , tidak terjadi apa-apa.” Setelah diselidiki ternyata “pedal kaki” yang dimaksud orang itu adalah: mouse.

8. Seorang lagi konsumen DELL marah besar karena komputer barunya tidak nyala.
Dia menjelaskan semua sudah terpasang dengan benar, dan ketika dia menunggu selama 20 menit, tidak terjadi apa-apa pada komputernya. Ketika teknisi DELL menanyakan apakah “power switch” sudah dinyalakan, dia balik bertanya, “Power switch apa?”

9. Berikut adalah tanya-jawab antara petugas Novell NetWire dengan seorang konsumen
Penelepon : Hallo, dengan Tech Support?
Novell : Ya, bisa dibantu?
Penelepon : Tatakan gelas di PC saya patah. Apa mungkin saya bisa menggantinya?
Novell : Tatakan gelas ? Apakah itu hadiah saat Anda membeli komputer?
Penelepon : Tidak. Tatakan gelas ini sudah ada di komputer saya. Dan ketika saya meletakkan gelas saya di atasnya, tatakan itu patah. Yang saya ketahui, di bagian depan tatakan itu ada tulisan “CD-ROM, 16X”. (Saat itu juga, petugas Novell langsung mematikan telepon dan tertawa terpingkal-pingkal. ..)www.gaptek.com
