I haven’t made any survey nor having any real statistic report, but I believe that this is a question that tickles any parents in the whole world in all era. In the end, each parent will find their own answer and we can even see them as live examples all around us.

I don’t believe there is a right or wrong answer for this question. What’s work for a child might not work for another. So I’ll just share how I try to answer this question. I always try to put myself in somebody elses shoes before starting to judge them. So by instinct I would just do the same when I interact with my children.

I think you should know that I’m not an experienced parent. I currently only have a 2.5 years old boy and an upcoming new baby at the end of this year. But hey, you could have 20 children and still not doing it right every time. You can’t wait until you have lots of children and learn from each children for years, it would have been too late until you finally find your perfect answer. Well, I believe we already have the necessary experience. Don’t forget that we were once children (as a matter a fact we’re still are). We should use our own experience as a child. The key is not to copy it, but to learn from it. What was our parents method and how did we react to it.

Yesterday is what many people know as Valentine’s Day (VD). Honestly, I don’t know a lot about it until I read it today in Wiki. All I know was VD should be the day when ones celebrate their love with a special person in their life. Spending a special time together in a special way. For some people it’s also a chance to give a gift of love, where flowers and chocolate is usually the most common alternative.

Well, now I know that the name Valentine itself doesn’t have any romantic history. Beside the fact that people still celebrate it on Feb 14th, the celebration of VD nowadays hasn’t got any relevance to its origin. Some other countries has adapted VD celebration to their own version, not sure if this is a result of a social assimilation or just an end product of commercialization. Yet, some countries/people still see VD as a christian day. This has caused the celebration of this day is prohibited in some countries/area.

Tonight, I’m not going to debate about should or should you not celebrate VD. Beside, VD is already a few hours behind (here). I’d just like to remind myself, that from today I only have 320 days left of this year (2011). That’s considering The End of Days isn’t coming anytime soon Anyway, I don’t have any choice with what I should have done in the past, but I’ll always have a choice with I should do in these next 320 days.

It never really matters if today is VD, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Children’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, Best Friends’ Day or just an ordinary day. What matter is as long as I have love, for God, family, parents, siblings, relatives, friends or anyone, then I have enough reason to celebrate today

Well, happy any day to all of you!
Love, Sahat Tambunan

I can’t remember when I started blogging and I also can’t remember why. Taking a glance at my archives link in this blog, I notice that I started blogging here since March 2007. However I didn’t start my first blog here, I started blogging on friendster. So friendster is the one that introduce me to blogging. Again I take a glance at my archives link, but this time in my previous blog in friendster. Well, well, what do u know, now I remember that my first post is in 2005 and here is the content:

Hari ini, Jumat, 9 September 2005, 18.17, Pertama…

Hahaha, a very simple first post (^^) Anyway, now I know that at 9 September 2011, I would have been blogging for 6 years. Ah wait, I almost forgot. I have my blog connected to my facebook on October 2008. So everything I posted on my blog since then was also automatically posted on my facebook notice a few hours later. For all these, I personally like to thanks Friendster, WordPress and Facebook for giving me the chance to share by easy blogging.

My blogging life is not actually such a cool thing. I’m not a famous blogger that can have hundreds of comments in every post. I’m also not actively posting through these years. I’m not a great writer who can always provide entertaining posts. But hey wait a minute! Now I remember why I started it. It’s because I like sharing. Sharing thoughts, knowledges, experiences, ideas, new information and sometimes just sharing what I feel. I never hope to get famous (though I wouldn’t have rejected it have I had the chance hehe).

Many of us still easily believe in any article or story we read/watch/listen. We don’t even try to find out first whether it’s worth believing. These behavior would make us a very delicious prey for hoaxes. Just in case you’re not sure what hoax is, Wiki describe it as “a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as truth” or if I may say in my own terms, Hoax is a lie spreaded intentionally as a fact to deceive others.

With current technology, hoaxes could be easily spreaded in many formats: Email, Blog, Websites, Instant Messenger, Text Messages (SMS), Facebook Status, anything. The only limitation for hoax growth is the creativity of the creator. So bad response gone worse, we might not stop in just believing it but even help spreading them to family and friends.

Many hoaxes don’t feel harmful, some might feel very helpful, and some might even make us think that it’s better to pass this information regardless the accountable of the information. However, the end result could end up worst than we could possibly imagine. We might inadvertently affect ones habit, fears, mindset or even believes. This is made possible because most hoax will provoke our emotions and made us feel something. They made us feel sad, angry, happy, dissapointed, afraid or even touch the sensitive parts of our life like religion or the people we loved. They must have learned that many people lost their common sense once they let their emotion take over.

Hari ini waktu lagi cari2 note tiba2 nemu file lama yg isinya seperti di bawah ini…

Love and the journey of life

in my search of love, i’ve failed
in the journey of life, i lost faith
years of life, searching for one
only to find, the love behind

in your search of love, you cried
in the journey of life, you seek light
living your life, wondering why
never find the one, your love you

in our search of love, We sacrificed
in our journey of life, did we find the one?

until love, finally found us…

Udah lupa waktu nulis dulu lagi mikirin apaan, jadi udah lupa juga artinya apaan. Di coba baca2 lagi jg masih tetep aja bingung hehe, au ah. Berhubung belum sempet bikin post baru jd post iseng2 dulu aja deh (^_^)

Menyambung post terakhir mengenai perkenalan dengan iframe injection, kunci utama yang harus kita perhatikan terletak pada poin kedua dari 8 kesimpulan yang saya share. Tidak pernah terbayangkan oleh saya data account FTP kami bisa sampai bocor, tapi faktanya itulah yang terjadi. Agar bisa menentukan pendekatan apa yang perlu kita lakukan untuk menjauhi iframe injection kita perlu lebih tahu mengenai segala kemungkinan penyebab kebocoran dan teknik pencurian data account FTP tersebut.

Siapa yang mencuri data account FTP?

Komputer tim kami yang memiliki data account FTP seharusnya cukup terjaga dalam hal keamanan. Saya sendiri tidak bisa percaya adanya kebocoran data account FTP sebelum akhirnya benar-benar terbukti dari log FTP. Lalu bagaimana data tersebut dapat bocor? Seperti yang saya informasikan pada post sebelumnya juga, saya bukan seorang ahli di bidang keamanan. Berdasarkan logika ada 3 kemungkinan penyebab kebocoran, berikut saya urutkan berdasarkan kemungkinan tertinggi:

1. Ada Malware yang berhasil menyusup ke komputer Tim
2. Hosting Server terkena hack dan data FTP tercuri
3. Serangan langsung ke jaringan kantor untuk mencuri data FTP

Karena serangan iframe injection lebih bersifat massal maka kemungkinan ketiga dapat kita abaikan. Karena kemungkinan kedua ialah perbaikan yang harus dilakukan oleh pihak hosting, maka tidak akan saya bahas di sini. Jadi pendekatan yang akan kita lakukan untuk menjauhkan web kita dari iframe injection ialah berdasarkan kemungkinan pertama, yaitu Malware.

I have some ideas to write today, but I couldn’t decide which to prioritize. Akhirnya setelah sedikit blogwalking, I get inspired by yaya post about love and marriage. So I decided to post this one first. It came while I was having a conversation with a relative a few days ago. He shared about the Five Love Languages which I found out later is originally introduced by Gary Chapman.

What would you have in mind when you hear the term “Love Languages”? Yang pasti Bahasa adalah salah satu media yang digunakan oleh manusia untuk saling berkomunikasi. So if I try to define “Love Languages” with my own words, It would be a media to communicate your love to others. Which in a couple perspective, that would be to your spouse. O iya, sebelum lanjut mohon maaf if I use bilingual campur2 dalam posting kali ini ya, lagi bener2 iseng aja hehehe

I personally believe that communication plays a very big role in all sides of our life. Dalam lingkungan pekerjaan misalnya, sebaik apapun kerja kita, bila kita tidak dapat mengkomunikasikannya dengan baik pada atasan, kita mungkin tidak akan mendapatkan keuntungan apapun. Contoh lain dalam love life, distance could seperate couples phisically but good communication could become a key to keep them together. Thus, the same rule applied also to the opposite condition. Couples who live together but having bad communication could end up destroying their relationships.

So Dale (my relative) explain to me about the five languages of love that day. I didn’t catch all directly at that time, so I took some times to reread them in The Five Love Languages website. Intinya sih, ada 5 bahasa cinta, yang semuanya baik dan patut dipakai dalam sebuah hubungan kasih. But the most important point is, the value of each language are differ to everyone. So we need to know which one is most valued by our spouse. A couple need to speak the right language of love untuk pasangannya. This is what I believe as a good communication in love. Contohnya, you can spend your whole life trying to assure your wife how much you still love her, but if you didn’t say it the the way she wants you to, she might would never understand that.

Jadi… apa saja kelima bahasa cinta tersebut?
