I believe a relationship should be based on equality. If one partner tries to control the other one, he or she will incorrectly assume that their partner loves them because he or she says so. Most of the time, this sort of relationship is built trough immense amount of jealousy and threats. This is unhealthy since being in a partnership should not sacrifice happiness for the sake of others and not constitute a loss of individuality. The bottom line is a healthy relationship should be built upon trust. In this sense, having a fruitful, rewarding and empowering professional life may help to build a really healthy loving relationship based on equality so that neither he or she needs to compensate love for his or her partner’s monthly pay-check, pleasant gifts, or nice car.

Tanpa bantuan timbangan ataupun alat ukur lainnya, saya bulatkan tekad hi..hi..hi.. untuk membuat masakan ini.

I Amsterdam
Canal Tour
Terowongan
Untuk yang ketiga kalinya, saya dan istri kembali mengunjungi kota Amsterdam, the Sin City. Kota yang bernama asal Amstelledamme [1] ini bisa dibilang tidak pernah sepi pengunjung. Wisatawan dan penduduk lokal berbaur dan berkumpul disepanjang pertokoan, rumah makan dan pusat kota dekat Rembrandt monumen. Sebagaimana tujuan awal, perjalanan pertama kita mulai dengan mengelilingi kota Amsterdam menggunakan kapal penumpang dari Rederij Plas.
