At some point, the mirror betrays you. It shakes your sense of youth with vivid signs of aging – little wrinkles around the eyes or lips, age spots, maybe some sagging skin. There used to be few options for turning back the clock without going under the knife. But today, you can soften the signs of aging with a wide range of non-surgical procedures for the face.

She admits that drooling excessively while sleeping is a major source of embarrassment, especially when she's been caught in the act. Soaked bed pillows and stained throw pillows are constant reminders of her humiliating habit.

Kulahirkan anak ini, tetapi dia bukanlah anakku. Kata seorang penyair besar . Baru saat ini kupahami kata-kata tersebut. Karena begitu sakit dan menyedihkan kehilangan seseorang yang sangat dicintai dan dikasihi yaitu seorang anak.   23 tahun yang lalu tepatnya 15 Maret 1986 lahirlah seorang anak laki-laki dari Boy Tampone dan Anintje Adinus yang diberi nama Michael Rusly Tampone …. Begitu muda umurmu anakku sampai kami hampir tak percaya bahwa kau telah tiada….   Rusli atau biasa dipanggil Uci merupakan bungsu dari 4 bersaudara yaitu Vecky, Raimond dan Roland… Tak pernah kusangka hal ini begitu cepat berulang, kenapa kau meninggalkan ibu juga anakku setelah kedua kakakmu Vecky dan Roland terlebih dahulu meninggalkanku.., ibu tak pernah menyangka bagaimana bisa kau pergi secepat ini. Tubuhmu kuat kau seorang pelari waktu SMP dulu, kau tahan banting karena kau seorang Paskibraka waktu SMA dulu, kau juga tahu akan kesehatan karena kau seorang anggota Palang merah…
