“Social E-commerce is a method of e-commerce where shoppers’ friends become involved in the shopping experience. Social shopping attempts use technology to mimic the social interactions found in physical malls and stores.”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and there are 3 (three) methods of Social E-Commerce according to Wikipedia :

1. Group shopping sites —Encourage groups of people to buy together at wholesale prices, essentially a Costco-like model for the online world.
2. Shopping communities —Bring like-minded people together to discuss, share, and shop. Using the wisdom of crowds, users communicate and aggregate information about products, prices, and deals. Many sites allow users to create custom shopping lists and share them with friends.
3. Recommendation engines —Allow shoppers to provide advice to fellow shoppers. The in-store analogy for this category of social shopping is asking a fellow shopper for advice

So let me introduce the number 4 (four) of Social E-Commerce, it’s a new from the Oven of my brain! please sit down and use your seat belt! here comes the number 4! Charity Social E-Commerce.

Next Post, why bagikasih.com and what is the philosophy and vision behind the name! Watch out guys!

So I sing this song in the morning on the way to office, training myself to understand the melody and the lyric. Try to overcome my gap by training more often, thus I can praise Him together with deogracias. Soli deo gracias!

Here is some article from wikipedia the background of this song. Happy reading!

“Blessed Assurance” is a well-known Christian hymn. The lyrics were written in 1873 by blind hymn writer Fanny J. Crosby to the music written in 1873 by Phoebe P. Knapp.

History

Crosby was visiting her friend Phoebe Knapp as the Knapp home was having a large pipe organ installed. The organ was incomplete so, using the piano, Mrs. Knapp played a new melody she had just composed. “What do you think the tune says?” asked Knapp.

“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine”, answered Fanny Crosby.

The hymn appeared in the July 1873 issue of Palmer’s GUIDE TO HOLINESS AND REVIVAL MISCELLANY, a magazine printed by Dr. and Mrs.W.C. Palmer of 14 Bible House, New York City. It appeared on page 36 (the last page) with complete text and piano score, and indicated it had been copyrighted by Crosby that year. It is not certain that this was the first printing of the hymn, but it certainly helped to popularize what was to become one of the most beloved hymns of all time.

Because of Crosby’s lyrics, the tune is now called “Assurance”.

Lyrics

Based on Hebrews 10:22

Source :http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessed_Assurance?wasRedirected=true

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

3.Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.
(Refrain)

Kung-kung bukanlah sejenis makanan (itu kang-kung), bukan juga sejenis bunyi-bunyian, kung-kung merupakan cara kami cucu-nya untuk memanggil seorang kakek.

Kung-kung juga bukanlah seorang pahlawan, bukan pula seorang pembesar, kung-kung hanyalah seorang rakyat biasa, seorang pensiunan pegawai negeri yang lugu dan tulus.

Meski terlahir di pulau Bangka, masa mudanya dilaluinya sebagai anak seorang berada, sekolahnya pun nun jauh di pulau malaka (:Singapore).

Semasa penjajahan jepang, beliau kehilangan semuanya namun hal itu tidak membuat beliau kehilangan kemanusiaannya. Dibalut dengan kisah cintanya yang bak romeo dan Juliet dengan sang pujaan hati istri tercinta, beliau melalui jaman itu.

Pernah suatu kali, beliau ditangkap oleh penjajah jepang untuk dijadikan pekerja Romusha. Maka sang istri mendatangi rumah yang ditinggali pemimpin jepang sambil membawa beberapa kotak rokok. Sang istri tidak datang menyogok, tapi lebih lagi dia datang untuk memohon. Sang istri tidak datang dengan berjalan bergaya seperti seorang berada, sebaliknya ia, dalam keadaan hamil tua, datang dengan menggunakan lututnya berjalan selangkah demi selangkah ke kediaman sang pemimpin sambil menyembah memohon. Akhirnya cinta yang sedemikian besar mampu menaklukan hati bengis sang penjajah. Oh, alangkah beruntungnya beliau.

Selanjutnya kehidupan tidak mudah bagi beliau, dari seorang berada maka di masa kemerdekaan beliau hanya bekerja sebagai pegawai negeri rendahan yang mengurus pendaftaran rakyat yang hendak berobat di rumah sakit. Tapi beliau begitu dicintai, tidak mudah bagi beliau utk menghidupi 10 orang anak, tapi beliau dapat melalui semuanya itu.

Kata mama, kisah cinta kungkung dengan istrinya sudah dikenal sepenjuru belinyu. Mereka mudah dikenali sebagai pasangan yang bersepeda bahkan sampai pada hari tuanya. Kungkung begitu terpukul ketika istrinya harus terlebih dahulu meninggalkan beliau beberapa tahun lalu. Sungguh sebagai orang yang sederhana ia mengerti benar arti cinta itu.

Jauh sebelum hari ini terjadi, kungkung dan istrinya sudah mengambil sikap untuk menerima Kristus Yesus sebagai juruselamat pribadi. Suatu kejadian yang sangat luar biasa, melihat bagaimana TUHAN bekerja di hati kedua pasangan ini, di saat beberapa anak-anaknya yang sudah lebih dahulu percaya bisa membawa orangtuanya pada Kristus. Oh alangkah beruntungnya.

Hari ini, saya harus mengucapkan selamat jalan untuk kungkung tercinta. Perasaan sedih meliputi hati saya, walaupun demikian saya harus mengiyakan kata kakak saya, oh alangkah beruntungnya beliau. Tentunya selamat jalan ini bukanlah kata-kata perpisahan yang dihiasi hanya dengan kesedihan belaka, sebaliknya ini adalah kata-kata perpisahan yang diucapkan dengan penuh pengharapan. Ya, pengharapan bahwa suatu saat kita akan bertemu kembali dalam kekekalan, dalam keberuntungan yang sama, dalam penjaminan yang kita percaya, dan dalam pengampunan yang membasuh kita. Ya, di dalam Kristus dan hanya di dalam Kristus. amen

But as it is written in the bible “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”
Php 4:6, thus we put the biggest question of “who will buy the products” to The Biggest Solution provider – our Lord Jesus Christ -.

As we put our anxious into prayer and thanksgiving unto Him, we decide to start the project. At the beginning this project, everything seems find. We start by sharing this project to a lot of people from local church diaconal to person in charge in Jalan Kaca. Not all responses are good, but we find that even in great barrier there is an “invisible” hand that allows us to keep run the project.

After a month delay from our plan, at last we can run the first phase of project, we conduct training to the housewives in Jalan Kaca. Hallelujah, we were accepted warmly by the woman’s fellowship there which leads by Mrs. Ira and Mr. Paul. After a short socialization, we can approach some mothers there to join the workshop which will be held every Saturday at 14.00-16.00.

We surprisingly found that a lot of mothers there doesn’t join national contraception program, we found there is a mother who have 6 children, and most of them have more than 2 children. With their low class economic background, it’s for sure having children more than 2 is a burden for them.

What is miracle? From the project we find, “Miracle is the conjunctions of many coincidence with one purposes to Glorify GOD.”

Another surprising event, we found there are already some housewives that were training by the local foundation to create the same cross key chain. Well, you can say that this coincidence, but for us it is miracle. What is miracle? From the project we find, Miracle is the conjunctions of many coincidence with one purposes to Glorify GOD.

To have a visit every Saturday is one difficulty, but God provide at least there is one of us can keep on visiting and training in jalan kaca. The workshop was attended by average 3-5 housewives. We held the training approximately 4-5 times and from the training we have some cross chain project. After we finished our training than the first questions in first paragraph came out.

But God speed and God Provide, the networking between members of cross project that has been built since the beginning of our project has allows us to have the 1^st buyer. And we have deliver 10 Cross key chain to the buyer. Thanks to Dian, from the profit we buy 4 box of “IDEAL” milk by Nestle and we have delivers the milk to the Ms. Roulina (She is the 1^st housewives that deliver 9 cross key chain). Actually the cost from 1^st delivery is zero, because the material is leftover from training small group leadership in youth commissions (yes, we train the leader to make cross.).

And here is some pictures :
