MEMORI IKAN KOKI

Short memory atau daya ingat yang pendek ternyata tidak hanya dimiliki olehku tapi juga sama ikan koki yang katanya hanya bertahan 5 menit saja kapasitas memorinya ( bener ga sih?? )

Ga jelas apakah ini karena faktor pertambahan usia ( tp gw msh muda kan ya? ) atow mungkin karena setiap hari makin banyak aja pekerjaan yang membebani dan semakin banyak aja hal yang mesti diingat, so kemampuan gw untuk me-loading pun semakin terbatas.

Satu2nya cara yg sekarang dijalanin adalah gw mesti mencatat apapun things to do yg keinget pada saat itu diatas kertas, well at least it helps and trained my brain to have a longer memory.
Tips yang lain adalah: jika kita terjebak di satu situasi yang mengharuskan kita untuk mengingat2 sesuatu/seseorang, bersikaplah ramah atau seolah2 kita sedang mengingat-ingat sesuatu, nah entar pasti orang lain yang nyolot duluan dari kita..( sometimes trik ini berhasil tp sering kali jg ujung2nya kita malu krn ga berhasil mengingat sesuatu tsb, resiko kali yah,haha.. )

LIVING IN PURITY

As a human being, it is not easy to become a man with no prejudice, no hard feeling or even no anger.
Long time ago, I knew and read about Sufism poetry by Rumi, it was wonderful and touching. And then, I read more about Sufism.

This is what I get about the meaning of Sufism :
In Islamic context, Sufism is about the purification of the 'heart', quality improvement of our character and behavior.
Though some says that Sufism was never been heard since the lifetime of Prophet Mohammed, but the essence of Sufism is definetely what the Prophet Mohammed taught us to.

Although, (still) I try to be a better person, but don't want to declared myself to become a sufist.
In my Religion, Islam, we are taught to pray 5 times, Giving, Qiyamul'lail, Reading Qur'an, etc..

I don't speak about one's experience, this is my own experience,
Praying 5 times lead me to remember God in every single things I do
Giving is teaching me to sincere
Qiyamul'lail or praying at the end of night keeping me away from being restless
Those taughts is completely true and become a secret to a wonderful feeling that God given me now.

And so, I'm still a human being who just try to be a better person but sometimes still find it difficult to shun the anger...

HARI MERDEKA
R We Proud Enough Being Indonesian ??

Dulu, 10 tahun yang lalu, jujur aja, rasa kebanggaan berbangsa & bertanah air Indonesia gw kurang banget, underline, it was no big deal to me... apalagi betenya, saat itu, orang Indo sedikit dipersulit klo mu traveling keluar negeri, yang dicurigain inilah,ya itulah, pokonya pengalaman deh di passport dikasi cap " VISA ANNULED ".

Tapi, karena akhirnya suatu hari sempat mengecap tinggal diluar negeri, mengamati kehidupan & sosio-culture disono, sedikit demi sedikit rasa kebangsaan itu tumbuh.

Disana, gw kangen liat orang yg nongkrong di pinggir jalan kaga ngapa-ngapain, gw kangen denger orang ngamen di perempatan jalan, jalanan yg macet, senyum ramah orang orang di public area padahal kita ga kenal mereka,....aahh pokonya I love anything about it.
Gw marah setiap kali berita di TV asing terlalu hiperbola dan men-discredit-kan Indonesia.

Gw bangga jadi orang Indonesia dengan adat ketimuran yang diajarkan orang tua, gw bangga dengan sifat hangat + kekeluargaan orang Indonesia, gw bangga dengan kekayaan budaya Indonesia.

YA, aku cinta Indonesia . . .
