Masa depan adalah arah hidup kita yang akan datang. Terlihat baikkah? atau nampak buruk?
Kedua pilihan itu merupakan pilihan hidup yang ada di tangan kita masing-masing. Cara kita menyikapi segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan pribadi dan masa depan kita, akan berpengaruh besar terhadap masa depan kita nanti. Dan untuk meraih hal itu dibutuhkan sebuah pegorbanan yang besar dan tentunya ada rintangan yang akan sedikit menghalangi kita. Tapi, tetap yakin dan tenang saja… Karena semuanya membutuhkan proses yang tak begitu cepat. Hohoho…
Achievement will not come by itself to us. But, it will be in us when we have big desire to get our own ability to be shown in public… And, in processing of that, it will be some obstacle. No problem. Because they can make us more mature in facing some problem in our life. And we need the obstacle. Without it, that’s not life, not a great achievement.
Maybe, just it that I can tell to you all. Sorry, if it’s not interesting…
Keep spirit, positive thinking, we can do our best for our best life. ^^
To find the perfect one, maybe it can be so difficult for us. Because nobody’s perfect here.
We always expect that we will have the perfect one… everything he has, it’s perfect. But it feels difficult.
and we can’t nearly get it soon. It needs long time for choosing the best one for us. My personal opinion said that find the perfect someone is difficult and get the imperfect person is easy when we are sincere to try to love him. And one day, we will realize we had gotten the perfect one for us, whereas We used to think he wasn’t a perfect one. That’s life. Never finding awesome thing unless we try to involve our self in this affair.
Ning : Iin, do you know that our town has many interesting places?
Iin : Yes, I do. I know about that. Why do you ask about it?
Ning : I just want to know where is your favorite place here? I want to compare with my favorite place.
Iin : My favorite place is in Keraton fortress.
Ning : Why do you like it?
Iin : Because from this fort, which still stands erect at the moment, you can find pleasure when you are in Keraton Fortress for looking around scenery of Bau-Bau with the ships or boats sailing back and forth the Butonese strait. Besides that, you can also find a wide range of the historical relics of Butonese sultans.
Ning : Oh, yeah. It sounds interesting. I have ever gone there, and it was really as a beautiful place like your explanation just you gave me.
Iin : How about you? Where is your favorite place?
Ning : Actually, I like all of places here. But, I prefer to Nirwana Beach.
Iin : Do you like visiting there?
Ning : Yes, of course.
So Amazing...^^
Iin : Why? I think it is very hot there and the sun shine can make your skin become brown. Do you like having brown skin?
Ning : Exactly, I don’t like if I have brown skin because I want to keep my skin like this.
Iin : So, why do you like Nirwana Beach?
Ning : Because Nirwana beach is very beautiful beach. It has white sand extending to 1 km and offers a fantastic and unforgettable sunset. On the other side of it, there is a rocky indentation used as a relaxed spot. Besides with relative smooth waves, it allows use go fishing, canoeing, skiing, diving, playing beach volleyball and other aquatic sport. It has also been equipped with several gazebos and some dressing room and rest houses are also available.
Iin : It is so fantastic. I have ever gone there but it was not as good as right now yet.
Ning : Yeah, current situation of Nirwana Beach is better than the first. So, where is other favorite places besides Keraton Fortress?
Iin : Oh, I like Samparona.
Ning : Samparona??? Where is it? Because I just heard that place.
Iin : Samparona is located in Sorawolio subdistrict, 13 km from Bau-Bau. You can get there on foot going through and narrow trail across some rice fields and plantations, as well as dense tropical rain forest. It is located around 7 km of the main road from Bau-Bau to Pasarwajo. The high of waterfall has almost one-hundred meter and it can make you happy after a long walk. It is a big challenge for those who love adventure. Besides, it offers its cool air and a beautifull rain forest as well as the miscellaneous kinds of exotic birds.
Ning : Wow, it is amazing, but I think it sounds dangerous. Furthermore, I don’t like an adventure journey. Huh, I can’t imagine if I do like you do. Maybe, I’ll get tired and I can’t reach the waterfall.
Iin : Ouch, unfortunately, I want to invite you to go there with me next weekend.
Ning : Thanks, but maybe I can’t go with you next time, because I’m not ready yet.
Iin : So, if you don’t like adventure, where do you want to visit while on holiday in addition to the beach?
Ning : I want to go in Lakasa Cave because I never go there. I just can see it in tourism guidebook of Bau-Bau town. It is very beautiful. Based on the tourism guidebook, it tells that Lakasa cave has a unique and beautiful stalactite and stalagmite have hundreds or even thousands of years old. When we enter the mouth of the cave is a journey that quite impressive due to the slippery condition of the cave so that the necessary equipment such as ropes and flashlights. This object is located in Sulaa, Betoambari district, 9 km from downtown of Bau-Bau.
Iin : It sounds like an adventure. But, did not you do not like an adventure?
Ning : Yeah, I don’t like it. But, I think trip to the Lakasa Cave is not as difficult as trip to Samparona. So, it’s better for me to visit Lakasa Cave than Samparona.

Life is not easy to be faced.
It needs the struggle.
Many obstacles we have for achieving a success. Although it hurts us. But, it’s the fact…
It’s not easy one.
Life is indeed not as easy as what we imagine. But it can be easy to face it if we are able to deal with it and through it with calm and patience…
and the success takes sacrifice…
Great achievements require a big sacrifice…
Love is an interested something. It will never end to be told…
Many problems of love appear in our life…
To fulfill our history life…
And make us be more mature for facing this hard life…
We need the struggle and sacrifice, and tears…
So tragic when we have to be bad in Love…
It’s awesome if we are in happiness in love…
We will be both of them exactly…
Don’t regret when we have to make some mistakes…
Don’t do expect about what we’ve gotten…
Coz they aren’t true for us…
Love is not a game…
Love doesn’t need a lier…
Coz Love wants the faithful people that need it…
It’s Love…
The Never Ending Something… But interested something…
Nining Syafitri…
