Yasmine was born on September 26, 2002, in St. Paul, Minnesota and attended Kindergarten at the Montessori World School in Orlando.

Yasmine was beautiful inside and out, full of wonder and wise beyond her years. She had a personality that drew peers and adults alike to her vibrant being. She was llike a fish in the water, played soccer loved acting and was learning to read, write, spoke Arabic, studied the Quran, was learning French,and enjoyed singing, . She loved stories, stars, Celtic and Arabic culture, animals, and butterflies. Yasmine traveled regularly to visit relatives in Minnesota lived in Tunisia for 6 months and visited twice. Yasmine's life was a full of adventure-each day a fun filled journey. She will live on in our hearts forever. Her remarkable capacity to love and be loved is an ability we can all aspire to attain in our lives. We shall take each day, each moment together as a gift. Every child is a wondrous presence in our lives. Like Yasmine, we shall embrace that which is good and beautiful and let go of the rest.

Yasmine is survived by her loving parents Mourad Ben Said and Sarah Cromer-Ben Said and her two year old sister Mariam. She is also survived by her grandparents Ezzedine and Manoubia Ben Said of Tunis, Tunsia, Jerry and Michele Cromer-Poire and Mary Kaye Medinger, all from St. Paul, MN, .

Sometimes, life is up and down… sometimes we are felt sad, sometimes felt happy… but… what ever your feeling inside… it just show you that you are still a live in the “real world”. I thought we are agreed that black color as a symbol for sadness things, red for mad or upset, yellow for happiness, gold for something great, pink for love, ect.

If you think life is a picture… life is perfect of picture… life is colorful, and something amazing about life’s picture is, life able to combine sadness color, mad color, happiness color, love color to be a great picture.
Just go to the beach… then waiting till sunset coming up around you… you can see how almighty God created a wonderful picture there… all of color in a perfect picture.
It’s mean… all of your color’s life… it might be making your picture’s life is perfect eventually…

Have a wonderful day.. :-)

Transmania Gathering @ Trans TV_110509

It was surprised when I found my name listed as one of the invitations that can get a recommendation to attend the event Transmania Gathering in Trans TV @ 3A floor with 70 other members of TDA. When I arrived there, I realized that we met with some community (entrepreneurs) in addition to TDA, the IYE and BundaInBiz.

I have a "mati gaya" (slang Indonesian language, for this situation seems like that I’m such feel amazing) since the start of the event at 7pm until 10pm, why? Because my feelings are very proud, stunned, and remarkable while heard presentations from the communities that are represented by the young women full of inspiration. Perhaps because I am woman, therefore I glued some feminism euphoria and spirit ... haha

Although the theme of Kartini’s day has been pass, but the fact that at the time that young women have shared many experiences, but without leaving their duties as wife and mother, for me its very unusual.

Founder kutukutubuku.com makes me impressed with her spirit as a young entrepreneur at the age, also jengNad (with that name she need people known her) from bundaInBiz, her presentation looks very simple, but in fact it become so powerful.

I’m really busy with my amazing feelings for them, coz very inspiring. At home I can’t sleep ... maybe coz of remembrance of JengNad’s new shoes at her cute blog haha… jengNad really humble person...

I also think the director of Trans TV pak Ishadi, what indeed is in the mind so that he would like to spent his valuable time to sit in on the event. He looks very low profile and carefully, the atmosphere of intimacy that he does not appear as subordinate to superior, but more like family. This proves that management should not be rigid and authoritarian to the achievement of the plume.

I like the one with the phrase pak Ishadi the essence, "In Trans TV, employees here also has many entrepreneurs talent, who have brought food for sale from floor to floor, bring a cloth, and so forth. It does not matter, rather than corruption. Right?" It’s greeted with spontaneous cheers & applauses.

Well, great moment.. but I should sleep now, I know that I will get a sweet dream about you all ... positive people in positive community .. will make us feel positive.
