You Will Learn

In the quiet time of evening when the stars assume their patterns and the day has made its journey. We wondered just what happened to the life we knew before the world changed.

Through your life, you will fall for someone once in a while for a reason...it isn't just random...
most of the time, that person, or at least that relationship, teaches something: 
to be trusting, to not be trusting, to be loyal, to be caring, to let go, to hold on, to move on, to speak out, to forget, to remember, to heal...or, if you are lucky, to love...
and the things we take from those relationships are part of what makes them all worth while...


So let your heart skip a beat, let a swarm of butterfly's into you stomach, let yourself feel totally and utterly happy, at least for a moment---you will live, you will maybe love, and you will learn...

Kalimat Itu

Beberapa bulan yang lalu, di postingan tanggal 6 agustus, saya mengucapkan kalimat yang belum pernah saya ucapkan sebelumnya ke seseorang. Entah kenapa tiba tiba kalimat itu terucap..

Kalimatnya sih simple... "I take my risk, I take my chances"...

Hasilnya...it didn't paid off.

Menyesal ? Enggak sama sekali, bahkan sampai saat ini sama sekali tidak terbersit penyesalan. Kenapa mesti menyesal...well...I'm just saying that, always tell what you feel, mean what you say and say what you mean. Even when it's hard, because oppprtunities are lost in a blink of an eye, but regrets can last a lifetime...

Gawking For Love

I  remember you very well ... it was saturday night...we supposed to watched the movie together...instead we're having a wonderful conversation....

I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you... there i was ... gawking at you.... funny and weird at the same time huh ?

And speaking about gawking, my definition of gawking would be when you look at her, your heart starts slamming uncontrollably in your chest. So much that it scares you. And every other noise that surrounds you slowly fades away into absolute silence. You only hear the sounds she makes. And when she looks back at you, when her eyes meet yours, it's as if she is looking deep inside your soul. And she can see all of the hatred you're consumed in......

I'll Take My Risk...

I guarantee that we'll have tough times. I guarantee that sooner or later one, or both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I dont ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.... I'll take my risk...I'll take my chances ...

I'm Not Supposed to ....

I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care, I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there, I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do, I'm sorry i cant help myself because I'm in love with you...... :P :D  hihihihi

What Does Love Means ?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all even when his hands got arthritis, too. That's Love. Rebecca - age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French Fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate." Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you" Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget," Jessica - age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. (Now this will melt your heart.) The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."




And as for me love is ...errr ... unspeakable .... what i do know is that .... the worst feeling you'll ever feel is, sitting next to the person who means the world to you but knowing that you mean nothing to them.... it sucks....

3 Panggilan Allah SWT

Kisah ini saya ambil dari sini, semoga bisa menjadi pedoman bagi kita...


Saat itu, Dhuha, hari terakhir aku di Masjid Nabawi untuk menuju Mekah... aku bertanya pada Ibu. 

'Ibu, kataku, ada cerita apa yang menarik dari Umrah...?' Maklum, ini pertama kali aku ber Umrah.


Dan Ibu, memberikan Tausyiahnya.

Ibu adalah pemilik Maknah Tour Travel di mana saya bergabung untuk Umrah di bulan July 2007 yang lalu. Kebetulan umrahku dimulai di Madinah dulu selama 4 hari, baru ke Mekah.
Tujuannya adalah mendapatkan saat Malam Jumat di depan Kabah. Jadi aku punya kesempatan untuk bertanya tentang Umrah. Ibu berkata...'Shinta, Allah hanya memanggil kita 3 kali saja seumur hidup...'

Keningku berkerut... 'Sedikit sekali Allah memanggil kita...?'
Ibu tersenyum... 'Iya, tahu tidak apa saja 3 panggilan itu...?'
Saya menggelengkan kepala.

'Panggilan pertama adalah Azan', ujar Ibu.
'Itu adalah panggilan Allah yang pertama. Panggilan ini sangat jelas terdengar di telinga kita, sangat kuat terdengar. Ketika kita sholat, sesungguhnya kita menjawab panggilan Allah. Tetapi Allah masih fleksibel, Dia tidak 'cepat marah' akan sikap kita. Kadang kita terlambat, bahkan tidak sholat sama sekali karena malas. Allah tidak marah seketika. Dia masih memberikan rahmatNya, masih memberikan kebahagiaan bagi umatNya, baik umatNya itu menjawab panggilan Azan-Nya atau tidak. Allah hanya akan membalas umatNya ketika hari Kiamat nanti'.

Saya terpekur... mata saya berkaca-kaca. Terbayang saya masih melambatkan sholat karena meeting lah, mengajar lah, dan lain lain. Masya Allah...

Ibu melanjutkan, 'Shinta, Panggilan yang kedua adalah panggilan Umrah/Haji. Panggilan ini bersifat halus. Allah memanggil hamba-hambaNya dengan panggilan yang halus dan sifatnya 'bergiliran'. Hamba yang satu mendapatkan kesempatan yang berbeza dengan hamba yang lain. Jalannya bermacam-macam. Yang tidak punya wang menjadi punya wang, yang tidak merancang pula akan pergi, ada yang memang merancang dan terkabul. Ketika kita mengambil niat Haji / Umrah, berpakaian Ihram dan melafazkan 'Labaik Allahuma Labaik/ Umrotan', sesungguhnya kita saat itu menjawab panggilan Allah yang ke dua. Saat itu kita merasa bahagia, karena panggilan Allah sudah kita jawab, meskipun panggilan itu halus sekali. Allah berkata, laksanakan Haji / Umrah bagi yang mampu'.

Mata saya semakin berkaca-kaca......Subhanallah......saya datang menjawab panggilan Allah lebih cepat dari yang saya rancangkan......Alhamdulillah...

'Dan panggilan ke-3', lanjut Ibu, 'adalah KEMATIAN. Panggilan yang kita jawab dengan amal kita. Pada kebanyakan kasus, Allah tidak memberikan tanda-tanda secara langsung, dan kita tidak mampu menjawab dengan lisan dan gerakan. Kita hanya menjawabnya dengan amal sholeh. Karena itu Shinta, manfaatkan waktumu sebaik-baiknya... Jawablah 3 panggilan Allah dengan hatimu dan sikap yang Husnul Khotimah... Insya Allah syurga adalah balasannya...'

** Mata saya basah di dalam Masjid Nabawi, saya sujud bertaubat pada Allah karena kelalaian saya dalam menjawab panggilanNya...
Kala itu hati saya makin yakin akan kebesaranNya, kasih sayangNya dan dengan semangat menyala-nyala, saya mengenakan baju Ihram dan berniat...Aku menjawab panggilan UmrahMu, ya Allah, Tuhan Semesta Alam...**

Huraisy
Pada hari kiamat akan keluar seekor binatang dari neraka jahanam yang bernama 'Huraisy' berasal dari anak kala jengking. Besarnya Huraisy ini dari timur hingga ke barat. Panjangnya pula seperti jarak langit dan bumi. Malaikat Jibril bertanya : 'Hai Huraisy ! Engkau hendak ke mana dan siapa yang kau cari?' Huraisy pun menjawab, 'Aku mahu mencari lima orang.'

'Pertama, orang yang meninggalkan sembahyang.
Kedua, orang yang tidak mahu keluarkan zakat.
Ketiga, orang yang derhaka kepada ibubapanya.
Keempat, orang yang bercakap tentang dunia di dalam masjid.
Kelima, orang yang suka minum arak.'

kesal saya dgn sikap buruk sangka saya terhadap org lain dan sikap tidak tahu berterima kasih dgn kawan yg sentiasa berlapang dada…..

..sampaikan pesanan ini biarpn 1 ayat.. Wallahualam
