that's the date when the three blog posts below were created. they were our project in English when I was still a Junior high school student.. :D
True Love
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.
—I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)
The verse above describes the characteristics of true love. We can say that love is true when the person you love shows you how much he loves you. There’s a saying that “actions speak louder than words” and this is true. Words are easy to say but sometimes hard to do. Saying ‘I love you’ is not enough, it should be done. In love, lovers should have honesty, trust, and patience, be understanding and of course, love. And if you have problems, try not to keep them from your love. Let the two of you fix problems together. There should always be proper communication between the lovers. There should be no secrets. If there is no honesty, there will be no trust. You should treat each other equally.
If you have any problem, how big or small it is, tell it to your love one. Let him/her help you fix the problem. Show your love not only by saying ‘I love you’. Do things that make him/her feel your love. Over saying of these words or any actions make your love feel uncomfortable. Don’t be overacting that your love wanted to have space already. Sometimes, you also need to sacrifice for your love one. Example, if he is happier with another and you really want to see him happy, you will decide and think of setting him free. Though it hurts, you do this for the person you love because you see him happy.
Others say that there is really no true love. But if your love life conquers all, passed all the trials and the lovers feel that it is already stable, we could say that love is real and long lasting.

Blessing as Disaster
Blessing is a miracle from above, a piece of good fortune actually given by God. Every blessing should be taken care of. How important it is, it should be controlled properly. A blessing could ruin our lives how big or small it is. You are lucky if you handle these blessings right because they will definitely have positive and good effect.
Sometimes our blessings seem a disaster for us. For example is friendship, sometimes we do not manage it right that’s why two friends became enemies. Another reason is when the blessing has something to exchange with. You cannot be happy because the replacement maybe something important for you. For an instance, in order to have something, you need to sacrifice for that and even give more than that.
At some point, some people are against that blessing and tried to make you fall. They did not want to make you happy. A good example is love, if a person envies another for having a good love life, he tried to distract and break the relationship of the lovers. Sometimes, we already commit mistakes so as to fix the problem. All of us should remember to control the blessings given to us perfectly to prevent making a disaster.

Pleasure from Misfortunes
Pleasure means feeling of happiness, delight, or satisfaction on something. If you hear this word, it seems that it has positive reasons. For example, a person has reached his goals, positive perspectives and has fulfilling relationships that’s why he is satisfied. But sometimes, people derive pleasure from the misfortunes of others. And this feeling is sort of bad characteristic.
A person suffering from misfortunes is commonly being pitied. Other people tried to help the person recover from their trials. And they also understand the situation of the person involved. But we could not blame others if someone’s fall be their happiness. The main reason for this is that that person is either he is your enemy or has bad feelings for you.
Some people derive pleasure from the misfortunes of others. You feel happy simply because you knew that your enemy failed. In your part, there will be happiness because he had misfortune in life. You feel lucky that there was something bad that happened to him even you are not the one who did that. It’s like someone or something help you make him fall. And this thought is not obnoxious.
