I HAVE LEARNED

Saya berhutang pada kehidupan. Setelah sekian lama saya absen menulis disini. Hari ini saya kembali mencoba untuk memulai. Karena jika tidak pernah dimulai, maka hanya akan menjadi bagian dari bangkai-bangkai blog di dunia maya ini.

Semoga untuk kali ini, saya bisa lebih konsisten dalam menulis, seperti waktu sebelumnya. Semoga hari kemarin, memaafkan saya atas keteledoran yang sudah terjadi. Banyak hal yang akan tercurah melalui sambutan masa lalu, namun saya akan mencoba menyelipkan cerita itu semua, menjadi kenangan.

“I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.” 
― Beryl Markham, West with the Night

Masa lalu, tidak dapat lagi dirubah, namun bisa kembali menghantui kita dengan cara apapun, tinggal kita sendiri yang harus dapat menanggapinya secara lebih tenang. Toh, sudah pernah merasakan getaran yang sama? Kenapa harus terulang kembali jika memang salah? 

Hanya satu permintaan saya kali ini, berbahagialah untuk masa depan.





“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” – Anonymous


I am planning to do just that! - but I'm not - yet it still my dream to be able to travel somewhere new once a year, sound like a great plan, right? *big grin* 

But this island indeed my third time being on Sumatra, one of Indonesia largest island. This time I got a chance to visit Belitung. Along with some of my previous trip friends and new trip organizer - I won't recommended - finally, I can see the beauty of this island.

As usual, I won't go into detail about how the trip goes or how are you going to go there etc. You find a lot of tips and trick already. But since you're already here, why don't you just try to read my experiences instead? 
THE FAMOUS SCHOOL
When I'm going on a trip. I usually do not want to go to a tourist area. I don't really like the usual place. Because the regular tourist place will always be hectic and full of people. Therefore, sometimes going on a journey with strangers I just met, make me a little bit uneasy. But, since you're already paid the trip, all you have to do just move along with the rest of the tour itinerary. While you wish you will have a new travel experience, for sure.

It was not a very lucky day for us to be there, the weather was gloomy, raining and cloudy most of the day. So, this is my suggestion, don't go to Belitong during May-June. We only have one day of clear sky on the first day, after that was just raining all day.

THE PLACE CLOSED
One of the exciting moment for me was being able to visit the Andrea Hirata - Museum Kata. Unfortunately, the place is closed for renovation when we were there. Yet, it was raining hard when we passed this place after we went to the school. Still, rain will not stop up from taking any pictures. Can't you imagine the colorful facade, it's very Instagram-able place, but since it's raining, it's so hard to get the perfect angle to shoot. At least, there are some I can put in here to look at, right?


These giant stones really fascinating don't you think? But do you know how some of the area in Belitong have lots of these rocks? Here are some facts you can actually read. 


The appearance of granite stones in the islands of Bangka Belitung in the form large pieces of stones attracting attention. In geology, these giant granite stones are in fact is part of an igneous body rock that became the bedrock of western part of Indonesia which is called as batholith. Distribution of granite is actually not only found in Bangka-Belitung but also appeared in Riau Islands to the peninsula of Malaysia, as well as on the islands of Natuna. In addition to these places, the bedrock under the Karimata Strait to the South China Sea, including in the most western part of Kalimantan, also composed of granite. Geologically, the rocks of the Triassic age of this granite to lime, or formed between approximately 200 million years to 65 million years ago (Geological Map Sheet Belitung, Bj and Sidarto, 1995). This Rock is a result of the freezing of the magma that is acidic, i.e. with a high silica content of more than 65%.

Sorry, if the original reference actually in Indonesian, but you're more than welcome to find the English version of the study, though.
THE KAOLINITE LAKE
This lake also become one of the most visit places in this area. Because most of the place was the kaolinite mining industrial place, the lake looks like this because of the leftover of the mineral in the bottom of the lake.
THE MIRROR LAKE BY AT MANGAR
This is the only nice weather when we first arrived and having lunch with a view like this. You're not going to regret the taste of the foods, as long as you can stare and take a bunch of picturesque moment, I guess.
ON THE WAY
VIEW FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE



Even though the weather was gloomy and the trip not really satisfying, still being in the water was one of the best things I can relate to this journey and of course being able to meet new friends too, and going to hundreds of stairs to the top of the old lighthouse. You're not going to believe how tiring it is to go all the way up and all the way down, for a person who hardly doing daily exercise, like me.

One day, I will be back here when the weather is great. Want to tag along? Just give me a shout out!


Happy traveling,


“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharlal Nehru


I fall in love with the beauty and wonderful of my country, because of the islands hopping trip. A few months ago, I don't have that much time and money to travel some of the nearby islands. Even though, it's only a few hours away from home.

But, it's been my life dream to be able to travel around, because I used to have a dream becoming a tour guide, myself. Then life happens and the dream isn't happening, yet. I believe, someday it will come true, I just need to push myself to the fullest.

KARANGANTU PORT
This island is still part of the thousand islands, Indonesia has. Only to be able to get here, you will go from another area. Which is another port in West Java, Serang, Banten. The name of the port is KARANGANTU – history said, the name of the port had to do with a ghost story tale. Just like the one with Ginny in the bottle, kind of story. But, we do know, every place we go there will always be a story to tell.

To be able to reach this port from Jakarta, one can take a bus from KAMPUNG RAMBUTAN bus terminal, or from KALIDERES. They will have some tickets sale to the PAKUPATAN bus terminal. The ride will take around 2-3 hours, depends on the bus driver and how many stops to get another passenger on the way.

After you arrived at the last stop, you need to take another minibus to the port. It was a short distance ride, will take around 35-45 minutes to finally arrived at the port. Then, you just have to wait for the boat to come pick you up.


The boat ride from the port to the island will take another 2-3 hour if you need to take a good nap. This probably your best time to get one. Since the island is a bit far from the city, you will see there are not much of people actually going to the island. At least, last time I went.

MONUMENT
One of the views on the boat ride to the island, we are passing by this monument. Some kind of electricity power supply for the city surrounding.

SAIL AWAY 

ISLAND ENTRANCE
The island still under development, and it keeps getting help from the government. Even though it's a bit far off, but one can see the development around the island. Some of the house guests have been made, and clear water also available for us to clean ourselves.

Also, the electricity in the island only exists at night, while during the day there is no electricity. So, if you want to charge all the battery, will be during the night. 


THE GRASS FIELD

THE SMALL FOREST TREES
You can find a perfect island here, from the small forest, open field and of course snorkeling place.

SNORKELING GEARS

VITAMIN SEA
 Just amazing clear water to do the snorkeling around this island.
DEEP BLUE SEA

THE BRIDGE

WHITE SAND BEACH
This beach is at the other end of the island, they have 2 (two) entrance docking boats. As far as we concern about the island, garbage also the one that we are concern about. As you can see, that drifted garbage along the white sand beach. Not all the people in the island actually care about preserving this kind of awareness.

Some of the local tourists sometimes also don't really care about how they throw their garbage, or even clean after they use. This kind awareness needs to be taught from the beginning. Sometimes, it's really sad, when you have a beautiful view but you can't avoid the laying garbage around.

Hope you're not one of the local tourists who ignorance about their surrounding.

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that. - Ellen DeGeneres



Have FUN exploring!




" It's a lovely experience walking around the museum by yourself "- Brad Pitt

The National Museum of Indonesia, is an archaeological, historical, ethnological, and geographical museum located in Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta, right on the west side of Merdeka Square.

This is one of the major street in Jakarta, close to the Monument National, our Gambir train station, also the Presidential Palace.

New street regulation wouldn't allow any motorcycle to pass this road any more. Yet, the car also have new regulation, for the last license plate with even and odd numbers, depends on the date in the calendar. You definitely need to follow through and aware if you're going to travel around this area and coming from out of town.

Because the fine will be very high, if you're actually break the street regulation in this area.
"Be aware of even and odd numbers cars regulation, for license plate numbers, depends on the date in the calendar. Monday-Friday, unless it’s a National Holiday, start 7-10 in the morning and 4-8 in the afternoon”

Saat saya menuliskan ini, rasanya seperti baru tersadar dari mimpi buruk. Saat terbangun dari kenyataan, bahwa apa yang selama ini saya alami adalah mimpi belaka. Rasanya, tidak dapat diterima sama sekali oleh akal sehat saya. Sudah berulang kali mencoba untuk menarik napas, agar beban hati dan pikiran tidak terlalu penuh, oleh rasa yang aneh ini. Tapi, tetap tidak bisa. Hanya dengan menuliskan ini, dan menuangkannya disini, mungkin bisa sedikit mengurangi beban hati.

Semuanya hanya garagara, artikel yang tidak perlu dibaca, sebenarnya. Namun, entah mengapa, akhirnya memang harus dibaca juga, mungkin agar saya bisa memastikan lagi, perasaan yang selama ini menggantung. Sudah ada pertanda, namun selalu dianggap tiada, karena masih belum mau menerima kenyataan.

Nuf said!

Sudah tau, kirakira saya bicara tentang apa? Ya masalah hati lah! Masa perlu diperjelas lagi sih?
Terus terang, saya merasa saya sudah jatuh cinta dengannya, bertahun lalu. Namun, karena masalah dengan jarak, maka dirasa tidak perlu untuk diperpanjang. Kemudian, sejak tahun lalu, entah mengapa kami jadi 'dekat' kembali, dengan adanya perangkat komunikasi yang sudah semakin canggih sekarang ini, jadinya lebih mudah untuk berkomunikasi. Akan tetapi, karena ini pula saya akhirnya semakin sadar, bahwa saya tidak ada dalam 'hidupnya', saya hanya sebagai pengagum no.1 bagi dirinya.

I’ve been dealing with this for quite sometimes. I can’t seem to put the right words into this so-called diary. I don’t even know where to begin, without any triggering mood to do the writing. I know that I needed to write, not that I don’t want to tho. Sometimes I just really need my own time to be able to do this. Just like whenever I want to watch a movie, I don’t want any distractions around me. Yeah, I’m that kind of person.

Now, I’m trying to write this out. After a long pause and every one been asking about updating new subject, here I am. Some of you might miss me, I know and I’m sorry. *giggles* Thanks for the nice thoughts and feelings. That’s all I asked to keep me always in spirited mood.
Remember all of the good times & all of the special people that were with you during them. Let go of the past, but don't forget it cause there are a great many things that can be learned from what you have been through & most importantly: follow your heart, stand up for what you believe in & take your own path, always do what YOU want to do.

The above verse is very simple but very true. I found it accidentally through the net. Sometimes there’s always a time when you really need a stress release. Each and every one of us has their own style of the matter. To me, one of the things is this, writing. Sometimes watching movies or reading even daydreaming. It’s just nice to have the world of your own for a while. It’s just like ‘escaping’ from this hectic world, and just made your own world in your mind.

There are always issues, in life. That’s for sure; it’s only a matter of action we take to find the ways to answer them. You can’t just sit there and not doing anything or even just cry or furious, for sure it wouldn’t solve anything. You need to talk to somebody that can understand your problems, someone you can trust or just perfect stranger you just know, somewhere. You can be surprise with the answers you’ll get. Is it base on experience? YES! I have to admit it.

Reactions you get from people can be different. Especially, when it’s coming from the one you know or one that doesn’t. They all can come up with the same results or the opposite. Still, at the end, you need to decide. You need to take some chances. You’re the one that have things. You’re the one that think you have problems. So, you’re the only one that can solve it. The others just a back up call and a reminder of something you can’t see.

I learn a lot regarding to this so-called problem. All you have to do just trust yourself, take action and let the super power God -or whatever you believe in- has, do the rest. There’s another saying which said "Our lives improve only when we take chances and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves" this is the thing that sometimes we can’t see. We love to see others while we hardly look in the mirror. Just like, sometimes, we afraid of the consequences of taking chances.

A friend of mine, Andy, told me once, when someone actually come to see me as a consultant or psychologist when the patient start talking about one problem and a third person that make one go crazy or stressful. It’s actually not the third person that has the problem. It’s the patient. Why? Because, the patient sitting in front of me and talking about someone else, is the one that having a problem. The explanations really took me by surprise, yet make a lot of sense.

So, the conclusion will try to be honest with yourself and just let it go...
Trust yourself, 'cause if you don't trust your own, who else?

This is just one of the nonsense, I write and for me to show off. Yup! *grinning* but, still with every line I wrote, I’m learning, with every mistakes and corny subject that I posted, I’m learning.

I just hope there are lots of people out there that actually want to learn to live the life with the proudest feeling of being themselves. Not because of somebody made them, or because someone said so. But, because YOU SAID SO!!

*wink*

EXPECT MIRACLES!

Note:
My deepest sympathy for my dearest friend Pandu, just lost his dad, yesterday. May he rest in peace and be free again. Amen!


When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? But it is!

Dr. Lannis - Captain Corelli’s Mandolin - Originally taken from St. Augustine


The above quote is just a reminder, about being happy and in love.

In this crazy world of fast and instant things, sometimes one really needs to lay back. Just to stepped back a bit and looking back to the road we took. Some people said, don’t look back. But, sometimes that’s all we need. To look back at the things we’ve done in the past. Of course, you can’t change your past, for sure. However, to me remembering the past is good as a real thing reminder. When it’s bad, you can figure out why and learn to be better. When it’s good then something that you can treasure and remember for the rest of your life. Something you can tell to your descendants, as a legend.

*grinning*

Even I’m smiling as I’m writing this now. Remembering all the good and happy times, I had.

According to my opinion, being in love is one of the greatest moments in someone’s life. It’s the wonderful feelings, butterflies, flushes, laughter and togetherness. As the time goes, those tools really work things out. Some people thought being in love is just about all the mushy and juicy. I guess, it's not. Fights, being pissed and sadness are include in the love-package.

Sometimes one just has to realize it again, and start to ask the simple question that usually forgotten.

“Are you happy with your life?”

Of course, the question is referring to life itself. Will one be happy with or without any life partner at one side?

Why don’t you - readers – try to ask the question to yourself? Who knows something really good and great will happen soon to your life.

Don’t complaint, ‘cause whatever that is, not going to make your life easier. But, smile a lot and feel happy, and then the people around you will feel the positive energy and love being around you. You’ll never know if there’s actually someone out there already keep an eye on you, just like one’s prey. Just wait for the right time and the right moment to hit you and BAM!!

I got you! *big grin*

It’s easy dealing with love, if you’d say so,
And it’s hard dealing with it, if you’d say so too.

The choice always comes back to ourselves, whether we want the hard ways or the easy ways. Sometimes people just don’t realize about this. They’re just go blind about everything regarding to love matter. Then, when you try to look back, it’s not necessary have to be the way you wanted too.

Sometimes, it just happens. Either you want it too or not. You just have to accept the feelings –negative or positive – you’ve got. No matter how strange the feeling you feel, it’s there.

Therefore, when it comes to funny feelings and it's kinda make you being silly, just embrace it! Wouldn’t hurt you if it’s not kill you, right? *wink*

So, just don't be afraid to fall in love and being out of love, 'cause it will soon presence itself in front of you. Whenever you're ready to embrace it...



Note:
Happy Birthday, Dhimas aka KulDab! I can't give you anything, just not yet, but this one note definitely a b'day gift for you!

Don’t go far off, not even for a day,
because –
because — I don’t know how to say it:
a day is long and I will be waiting for you,
as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don’t leave me, even for an hour,
because then the little drops of anguish will all run together, the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift into me, choking my lost heart

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach; may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don’t leave me for a second, my dearest,

because in that moment you’ll have gone so far
I’ll wander mazily over all the
earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me
here, dying?

-Pablo Neruda-

Jangan pergi jauh, sayang. Walaupun untuk sehari. Karena, aku tak tau bagaimana harus mengungkapkannya. Hari semakin panjang dan aku menantimu, seperti layaknya stasiun kosong dengan keretakereta yang terdiam, seperti sedang tidur. Setelah lelah menunggu penumpang yang .akan datang, tapi tak kunjung juga ada. Hanya segelintir penjual asongan yang duduk dan tertidur. Beberapa orang ikut berteduh didalam gerbong yang sejuk karena terik matahari terlalu menyilaukan mata.

Kondisi gerbong yang kosong itu seperti hatiku yang kosong. Jika kau pergi meninggalkanku, walau hanya sehari saja. Susah untuk diungkapkan dengan katakata yang terangkai indah, sayangku.

Masih ingat tentang malam jahanam itu? Pada saat hujan dan guntur bertalu seakan tidak merelakan kebersamaan kita yang najis? Airmata tersamar oleh derasnya hujan mengguyur. Hanya teriakanteriakan kita terdengar berusaha melawan kemarahan langit. Pelukan erat yang seharusnya menghangatkan, malah semakin menggetarkan tubuh.

Jangan lagi tinggalkan aku walau hanya satu jam, karena sedikit saja tetes kesakitan akan meluluhkan kita. Semakin lama rasa sakit itu kita tahan, maka akan semakin keropos jati diri kita. Bagaikan asap yang berkejaran mencari tempat yang dapat membawanya padaku, sehingga dapat mencekik hatiku yang sedang kehilangan. Asap itu memenuhi seluruh jalur hisap oksigenku, sehingga tidak ada lagi oksigen yang mampu kuhirup. Aku benarbenar tercekik, tidak mampu lagi bernafas. Terlebih hatiku, tak mampu lagi merasa.

Namun, hanya bersamamu. Semua rasa tak enak akan hilang, lenyap. Aku seperti terbangun dari mimpi panjang yang begitu melelahkan, hingga sekujur tubuhku penuh dengan peluh. Seperti layaknya peluh cinta yang terkuras di tempat tidur yang berderit dan menjerit. Tidak mampu lagi menopang ayunan percintaan kita yang semakin bergairah, setiap hari.

Semoga bayanganmu tidak akan pernah hilang diatas pantai. Semoga matamu tak pernah berkedip dan melayang kekedalaman imaji kosong. Karena saat seperti inilah keindahan itu tercipta. Menatap dalam bola matamu. Bibirmu yang bercerita penuh tawaria, tapi matamu penuh dengan kilau. Membuatku semakin tidak ingin kehilanganmu. Jangan tinggalkan aku, walau hanya sedetik pun, cinta.

Tidak mampu lagi kukatakan tentang rasa yang terungkap dalam hati dan sekujur tubuhku ini. Hanya berharap suatu saat kau mengerti apa yang kurasakan. Terkadang, kamu bisa mengungkapkan apapun tanpa sepatah kata terucap. Ciumanmu tanda kau hadir dalam hidupku setiap saat...

Dan jika pada saatnya kau akan pergi jauh, maka aku akan berjalan kebingungan mencarimu diseluruh dunia ini, seperti pesawat yang kehilangan arah. Dan bertanya akankah kau kembali? Karena sudah pernah ku katakan padamu, jauh sebelumnya. Kau adalah hidupku. Jika kau pergi maka lebih baik aku mati dan meninggalkan semuanya. Karena tidak adalagi gunanya aku hidup. Terdengar bagaikan orang bodoh yang sedang mabuk kepayang akan cinta? MEMANG.

Karena kau telah membuatku mabuk. Tegakah kau meninggalkanku disini, setengah mati?

'How can we purify the world?' asked a disciple.

Ibn al-Husayn replied:

'There was once a sheik in Damascus called Abu Musa al-Qumasi. Everyone respected him because of his wisdom, but no one knew for certain that he was a good man.

One evening, the house where the sheik and his wife lived collapsed, apparently because of some fault in the construction. The neighbours began desperately digging amongst the rubble. At one point, they managed to find the sheik's wife.

She said: "Don't bother about me. Save my husband first, he was sitting more or less over there."

The neighbours shifted the rubble in the place she had indicated and found the sheik. He said: "Don't worry about me. Save my wife first, she was lying more or less over there."

When people act as that couple did, they are purifying the whole world.

[Paolo Coelho]
He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees..
The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love...
Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes.

~Paracelsus~

Learning to love yourself it is the greatest love of all

~Whitney Houston~

Heal the world we live in, safe it for our children

~Michael Jackson~

I read this post on the bulletin board on FS from this gal a nice and sweet yet a bit psycho bitch :D but I do missed talking with her and be able to hear her funny giggles! Someday when our path cross again, I hope that we can chit chat about anything again. Miss ya, cha!

Thanks for a nice posting too!
"You have greatness within you. You have something special. If just one of you can get a glimpse of a larger vision of yourself, of who you really are, of what it is you bring to the planet, of your specialness, then in a historical context, the world will never be the same again. You can make your parents proud. You can make your school proud. You can make your community proud. You can touch millions of people’s lives."
- Mr. Washington -

It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back

All you need is LOVE
- John Lennon -
Always remember, life is not how many breaths you take, it's how many moments take your breath away...

Because that's what people do. They leap, and hope to God they can fly, because otherwise you just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down, why in the *hell* did I jump? But here I am, Sarah, falling, and the only one that makes me feel like I can fly... is YOU!

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
Taken from the movie HITCH

Tidak pernah menyangka jika mencintaimu adalah salah satu bagian terindah dalam hidupku. Aku tak pernah juga menyangka akan bisa merasa seperti ini kembali, sesuatu yang sama tapi terasa berbeda.

Panah kasat mata tertancap sudah dalam hatiku,
Akankah ada yang berani mencabutnya nanti dan menggantikannya dengan belati?

Apapun yang tertikam nanti pun tetap akan atas nama CINTA.
Rasa yang begitu agung terasa dan bergaung dalam benak dan hati…

Jika kau mabuk akan cinta, engkau tidak akan pernah bisa menahan rasa itu dalam hatimu, kau hanya bisa mencoba untuk meluapkannya pada orangorang yang membutuhkan cintamu.

Bagikanlah rasa cinta yang meluap dari dalam dirimu, karena banyak orang yang membutuhkannya, tapi bukan sekedar cinta palsu, tapi cinta murni dari dalam hati yang tidak pernah ada prasangka apapun. TULUS dan POLOS.

Seperti halnya melihat keceriaan anakanak ditaman bermain, tanpa beban dirimu akan dapat tersenyum dan tertawa melihat keceriaan mereka. Begitulah seharusnya senyum dan cinta yang kau salurkan pada duniamu.

Karena APAPUN yang terpancar dari dalam hatimu akan terasa oleh mereka yang berada dekat secara fisik denganmu dan juga bagi mereka yang jauh secara fisik namun memiliki ikatan hati yang erat denganmu.

Lihatlah kedalaman hatimu sendiri, dan peliharalah CINTA itu selalu dan setiap saat. Karena CINTA adalah energi terbesar yang pernah ada di muka bumi ini dan tidak akan pernah hilang sampai kapanpun…

Selama jantung masih berdetak dan paruparu menghisap oksigen, cinta tidak akan pernah hilang.

Aku mencintaimu, cinta
Selalu dan selamanya
Hingga saatnya aku menghilang menjadi abu,
dan terlahirkan kembali,
Aku tetap ingin bersamamu...

=================================
Saya bersyukur atas hari yang luarbiasa,
Atas rejeki yang diterima,
Atas pemenuhan keinginan,
Atas semua kebahagiaan yang terasa sampai dalam hati…

Puji Syukur atas semuanya. Mungkin jarang sekali ada orang yang memiliki buku ucapan syukur dan terimakasih atas segala hal yang terjadi dalam sehari.

Salah satu orang aneh yang memiliki buku seperti itu adalah Saya :)

Memang masih bolongbolong menulisnya, tapi setiap ada waktu selalu diusahakan untuk menulisnya. Kenapa harus menulisnya? Biar setiap hari kita semakin penuh kelimpahan karena semakin merasakan nikmatnya HIDUP.

Sudahkah kamu bersyukur hari ini?

PS: I Love you, Thank You
Dalam dunia maya ini, banyak sekali hal yang dapat kita temukan. Rasanya sekarang APAPUN dapat ditemukan. Yang penting kata kuncinya tau, maka semua info yang berkaitan akan dapat ditemukan.

Seperti halnya beberapa pelajaran tentang hidup yang belakangan sedang saya perhatikan. Sambil membaca dan sambil termenung memikirkan hal tersebut, membuat saya juga tidak tau mau menulis dan membaginya seperti apa. Karena terlalu banyak yang bisa diceritakan dan sepertinya LUARBIASA sekali jika bisa menyentuh hati banyak orang melalui tulisan yang saya baca, dan bisa merasakan seperti yang saya rasakan.

Tapi lain orang bisa beda menilainya.

Ada sebuah buku yang saya pikir sangat luar biasa, mengapa? Karena pengarangnya adalah salah satu pengarang favorit saya, saking pengennya saya punya bukunya, walau harus beli dari salah satu web penjualan terkenal pun, maka saya memesannya.

Yang membuat menarik buku ini adalah salah satu resensinya adalah mengenai salah satu dokter di Hawaii yang bisa menyembuhkan 1 rumah sakit jiwa tanpa bertatap muka dengan para pasiennya.

Dia hanya mengucapkan katakata ini:

I love you

I’m sorry

Please forgive me

Thank you


Untuk bacaan lebih lanjut mungkin bisa dibaca di website ini langsung atau baca tulisan di blognya si Joe Vitale tentang hal ini.

Betapa luarbiasanya ketika kita bisa melakukannya untuk Negara kita ini yah?

Tapi memang sebenernya klo mau membaca semuanya, tidak ada yang bisa diterima dengan akal sehat, karena disana ditulis bahwa semua yang terjadi di dunia kita sekarang, kita mempunyai andil. Pada saat kita SADAR bahwa kita punya andil akan semua kejadian yang terjadi, maka kita bisa merubah itu.

Dan juga ada lagi tulisan yang mengatakan bahwa doa dari orang yang tidak kenal dan tidak mengenal kita kadang malah lebih luarbiasa efeknya :)

Jadi PERCAYALAH bahwa diluar sana ada orangorang yang tidak kita kenal, tapi dengan hati tulus mereka mendoakan kebahagiaan, kemakmuran, kesuksesan dan berdoa juga agar kita selalu dilindungi dan dipenuhi kelimpahan.

:)

Sebelum mencoba untuk menyalahkan orang lain, cobalah untuk melihat lagi dalam diri kita, karena apa yang tidak kita suka dari orang lain biasanya adalah pantulan dari diri kita sendiri.

Heal yourself first, then you can heal others

There's something about this author that I like about his writing, so I bookmarked his online blog. You'll find something that can fresh you life when reading some of his writing.

As for my dear fellow readers, sorry for not coming back so soon. I know some of you might waiting for new things that I would share, but at the moment I just can't write my heart out, just yet. But as soon as I can, I'm sure you'll be the 1st one to know :) and I'm ready to wait for the comments from all of you. :)

Meanwhile try to read this one out :) ENJOY!

1] You have already arrived. So, feel pleasure at each step and do not worry about things that you still have to face. We have nothing before us, just a road to be traveled at each moment with joy. When we practice pilgrim meditation, we are always arriving, our home is the present moment, and nothing more.

2] For that reason, always smile while you walk. Even if you have to force it a bit and feel ridiculous. Get used to smiling and you will end up happy. Do not be afraid of displaying your contentment.

3] If you think that peace and joy always lie ahead, you will never manage to achieve them. Try to understand that they are both your traveling companions.

4] When you walk, you are massaging and honoring the earth. In the same way, the earth is trying to help you to balance your organism and mind. Understand this relationship and try to respect it – may your steps have the firmness of a lion, the elegance of a tiger and the dignity of an emperor.

5] Pay attention to what is going on around you. And concentrate on your breathing – this will help you to get rid of the problems and worries that try to accompany you on your journey.

6] When you walk, it is not just you that is moving, but all past and future generations. In the so-called “real” world, time is a measure, but in the true world nothing exists beyond the present moment. Be fully aware that everything that has happened and everything that will happen is in each step you take.

7] Enjoy yourself. Make pilgrim meditation a constant meeting with yourself, never a penance in search of reward. May flowers and fruit always grow in the places touched by your feet.

1] Kamu sudah sampai. Cobalah untuk menikmati setiap prosesnya dan jangan takut dengan apa pun yang masih harus dihadapi nanti. Kita tidak memiliki APAPUN di masa depan, hanya ada jalan terbentang yang harus dilewati dengan setiap langkah penuh rasa senang. Pada saat kita terbiasa melakukannya, terasa seperti meditasi dalam berziarah, masa kini adalah rumah kita, tidak ada yang lainnya.

2] Karena alasan itu, maka tersenyumlah selalu pada saat sedang berjalan. Meskipun harus terpaksa melakukannya dan merasa bodoh. Jadikan senyum sebagai kebiasaan, maka kamu akan selalu merasa senang! Jangan takut untuk menunjukkan kebahagiaan!

3] Jika kau pikir kedamaian dan kegembiraan itu selalu terjangkau didepanmu, maka kamu tidak akan dapat menjangkaunya. Cobalah untuk mengerti kalau ‘mereka’ adalah teman perjalananmu. Yang akan selalu setia berada disisimu, kapan saja.

4] Pada saat kamu berjalan, sebenarnya kamu sedang menyatu dan menghargai Bumi tempat kamu berpijak. Sama halnya, dengan tanah air yang mencoba membantumu mengimbangi tubuh dan jiwamu. Cobalah untuk mengerti hubungan tersebut dan hargailah – semoga jejak langkahmu akan seperti raja hutan yang perkasa, seluwes macan dan kebanggaan seperti seorang raja

5] Amatilah apa yang terjadi disekelilingmu, dan konsentrasilah pada pernafasanmu – hal ini akan menolongmu menghilangkan masalah dan kekhawatiran yang mencoba menemanimu dalam perjalanan hidup ini.

6] Sebenarnya pada saat kita berjalan, bukanlah kita yang bergerak, melainkan semua masa lalu dan generasi akan datang. Pada apa yang kita percaya dengan dunia ‘nyata’, waktu dapat terukur, tapi dalam dunia sebenarnya tidak ada yang nyata, senyata saat sekarang. Perhatikanlah bahwa semuanya telah terjadi dan semua akan terjadi pada setiap langkah yang sudah terjejak.

7] Nikmatilah hidupmu. Buatlah perjalanan berziarah sambil meditasi menjadi pertemuan antar dirimu sendiri, bukan sebagai balasan atas rasa bersalah. Semoga bunga bermekaran dan harum buah mewangi pada setiap langkah yang terjejak
Love is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things it comes and sits sofly on your shoulder


Langston Hughes

Time to grow!
And move on; make life better than it was before,
I think I can make it,
And move on, make love better than I did before
Time to grow!
And move on, make life better than It was before,


Lemar - Time to Grow
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.


Marianne Williamson

Before you love others,
try to love yourself first.

Why?
Try to read this a really nice article to open up our minds a bit.

Happy reading!
