If a miracle happens to put a wonderful gift for our life, what do we want for most? Hopefully it will not bring any regret at the future. Gift can be the gorgeous thing as a pride and meanwhile, a good will to manage is necessary.

This is a kind of phenomenon in cosmopolitan life. Idealism and Dynamism are common gifts for single who consider to think about enrich their life by experience, style and sophistication. Somehow, singles have visibility as chic and light persons in their life, no significant burden and a little bit high sense of tense about relationship sometimes.

As what the writer thought, managing the gifts for every singles are must to prior. Just like the legend of King Midas who has a gift in changing everything he touches to be gold, at the one side, it might be sparkle in making achievement of material things since the dynamism and idealism dominate mindset to be broad minded. At another side, it might be also less of consideration in thinking about how to deal with relationship whether for friends or love either, just in case cosmopolitan here is never be same with what happens there in the high rate style states.

A vintage culture and couture have been arranged here around us in this state. A Midas touch as the gift to enrich singles’ material life is never enough to make some sense with common sense around us. People need more than just sparkle things to be a part with us, something to touch down the earth and to feel the same air together.

After all, single life is not as easy that way but it is not also hard to walk through. It is good for singles to have a proud with the gift and keep the humble to seize every part of this real life for sure.

Since the proverb “the world gets narrower” exists, it forces us to remind many things about people that we recognize, thus marking up to ring a bell occasionally will be necessary. Just in case when we attend a party or event where some people might recognize us, it will be good when we also know about them. It means when they chat to us we will show our respect to them. In this matter the words “excuse me, how do we know to each other?” are taboo words to express then we need to introspect “who we are?”.

Every person might have a fully high end taste of languages but only a few who make those languages to create understanding and that’s what communication about. Like what the writer mentions in advance, Ring a Bell must be the key ingredient when we are invited by other people to talk or chat as if our eyes will say “Hei, i know you and nice to see you again, let’s talk”.

As the matter of fact, sophistication isn’t needed to show when we just show first our honour to other people. It will appear naturally in its own way as what we are. Turns out, enjoying every occassions are going to be marvellous cause we ar ready to ring a bell on every lovely people out there.

A simply routine when morning is calling: refreshing a whole part of body with showering. After feeling the pure freshment of water splash, a thing to complete our morning is making up to ensure that yes, we are ready to face the day.

Shape our smile, comb our hair are actions to bring more confidence to us as good as possible. We will create a high grade for our expectation in a day based on what boosting in the morning. It starts from a mirror, it starts from making up, ready to smile by the help of a simple thing called Vanity.

Vanity is always fair. When we’re asking to the mirror “who’s dare to look good?”, it depends on how do we look in front of it while having seat at the nice vanity. Beside as a part of narcism, enjoying the quality time in vanity can be marvellous. The writer could say so since we need to make our day as perfect as possible. And ensuring that we are ready to face the day is definitely necessary. Then, from now on, just bring quality to our time for every morning with the vanity.

“She has my arrow…”
“He has my bow…”

Pucker up: a concrete feeling of an abstract description, that’s what lovers call as crush. Indeed, I scratch down about this hardest, sweetest and deepest moment inside of human’s heart while bottoming a glass of sparkling liquid up.

At the first sip taking…
Somehow i’ve ever mentioned at my another note which saying “I just write about the world where I know: being single”, thus putting the term “hardest” at the first priority in describing crush could be monumentally reasonable.
When anonim said “both love and laugh: they cannot be hidden” it brings someone in crush to have anxiety in considering to fight for the crush or just keep it. Definitely maybe the one who in love just want to express this feeling to the crush target. But, as what the proverb said that love and laugh cannot be hidden, it brings possibility for others to see at this awkward section. Then again, it would be an awkward situation when somebody try to hide the feeling of crush but the fact has it!

At the second sip taking…
Cupid will always fair in matching the arrow of the bow. When it happens, every seconds of breathing as if it appears not just belong to individually anymore but as a part of the one called soulmate. Turns out, this is the sweetest thing for a couple in love. Caring, supporting and keeping the faith of having the perfect mate of this life makes uneventful seconds come to be so meaningful.

At the third sip taking…
Maintaining the faith of making both lovers in common could be the deepest moment after realizing a crush into a relationship. Just in case for making sure that a wonderful atmosphere didn’t just happen at the beginning since purely everyone need it to be ever after.

After the last sip taking…
And now, I’m a bit tipsy: Ooops!

*lay down to write at the city of crush, March 1, 2012*

Realizing when a lot of busy(ness) people are wanting many practice ways to get information, somehow mobile marketing could be an effective way to reach the affective sense of them. As the matter of fact, kinds of this people are intense to take their gadget (especially cellular or smart-phone) around their hands as always.

As a marketer, wee need to deal with these contents to succeed a mobile marketing strategy:

1. Users data must be obviously clear, not just name, phone number and IDE card number.
2. it is necessary to explore their favorite things, psycho-graphic profile and more relevant information to build.
3. We have to provide terms and condition of service to users. So that, every mobile service in their gadget has been agreed by them.
4. The way of message delivering cannot disturb the basic habit or attitude of users with their mobile phones.
5. Service must be stable.
6. To provide a call center 24 hour service will be totally justifiable to reach users and be more hospitality to them.

Soft, fragrance, spirituous and poise are the scent of future in which I step onto. How could to  reveal that? I’m just bringing my spicy ingredients thru some phrases called QUOTE:

Stand by my own boots

It shows how much I concern in independence and confidence. What a soulful way for me in stepping any plans to make it well firmed. Boots are the most representative stuff for this since it appears both tough and luxurious.

Mon reve est embarque sur un ile flottante

A phrase which means: All the wildest dreams are mine. It’s the extra care that counts for my intentions, from dream to be real.

I’ll pick the most dangerous one: Malum in se, since I never afraid of that challenge!

Malum in se is the hard criminality case of a court for an advocate to make a deal with it. As for me, make a deal with a hard problem of life could be something necessary in raising our capability and also maturity.

A quote was only just a phrase when we don’t consider it to flow with our DNA and have chemistry with our life. Then, just make it!
