Good deeds?

"Those who Believe and do Good Deeds, Jannah!"

Well, those words was what I found when I'm googling "good deeds Quran". Several days ago I had a quality talk with someone, about this. Yep. Good deeds. I assume that all religion, whatever it is, command all the people who believe, to do good deeds in their lives, to be nice to all people, to be a kind-hearted person and etc. But the thing is, do you ever thing about what does good deed means? To be exact, the topic we were talking (me and that someone) about was how what you think you're doing good sometimes it could be not good for the one you wanna do it to. So this is what made me start to think about it. 

Moreover, 'someone' said that it is the reason why, before we do something, we should think about it, it's not exactly what 'someone' said, but I think what he was tryin to say was that. After long time talked about it, we found out that why does it happen is the different background of people. 

To me, everything about what people do to others, it just about the perception and adaptation. Perception, it is based on background of the people.How their environment and family teach them. Adaptation, is how someone accept what they facing, whatever it is.

So it's just about the meaning management and how we let ourselves get use to it.

Find your answer:-) 

Ps: Thank you for made me think about this, someone. 

And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.

 (Al-Baqarah:25)

A New Beginning

**

This thought repeatedly comes and goes to my mind. Akhir-akhir ini sering banget punya pikiran itu. Well I can conclude it with “what you’ve done so far” thought.

I have that thought muncul awalnya karena ngeliat achievement orang-orang sekitarku. Plus, I’ve been surrounded by so many great people. Sekarang di depan mataku bermunculan orang-orang dengan segudang prestasi, segudang accomplishment yang mereka punya.

Deep down inside aku punya perasaan yang susah banget diilanginnya. Yep, minder. I don’t  wanna say “minder” is my nature because I don’t want to. Minder aku itu bukan berupa minder yang drama, lebih tepatnya minder prestasi. Sebenernya perasaan ini muncul ketika aku udah kuliah, ketemu orang-orang yang aku sebut diatas, dengan segudang prestasi.

Contoh nyatanya gini, si A oh she’s smart, she won blabla, she is a blah. And I wanna be like her. Why cant I be like her? Tapi yang jelas bukan hanya satu orang yang menginspire aku. Pikiran kaya gitu ada terus sampe aku sadar, sadar kalau emang they do the effort. Tiba-tiba jawabannya ada sendiri di depan mata. Mungkin emang itu cara Allah memotivate ku ya. Tiba-tiba aku liat sendiri si A tuh di kampus lho sampe malem ngerjain blabla. Si B tu belajarnya tekun banget ternyata.

“Ganjaranmu tergantung kadar lelahmu,” HR.Muslim dari Aisyah. RA

Yep that’s it. Rasanya I wanna slap my own face. Tapi yaudah, apa yang udah dilakuin ngga bisa diulang kan? Sekarang yang paling penting adalah gimana untuk face everything in front of me and be a tough person. One thing that I always remember, my God is great, He will embrace my dreams, and make ‘em come true. I believe in my God, I believe in my dreams  and I believe in someday.

Keep dreaming on, dreamers. And make some efforts!

Bismillah for 2013, let's do some change and embrace our dreams!

ps: sorry for babbling too much :3

Let me fall asleep to the sound of rain

Let me breathe the smell of rain

The calming scent of it

Let me listen to the rain

Seems every drops bring a message 

And hopes, indeed

Who am I?

Setiap orang punya persepsinya masing-masing mengenai dirinya sendiri. Kita memilih sendiri, ingin seperti apa kita terlihat dan dilihat oleh orang lain, atau bahkan untuk melihat diri sendiri. Setiap orang punya sifat Me&I dalam dirinya masing-masing, hanya porsinya yang berbeda. Orang yang memiliki sifat "I" cenderung lebih nyeleneh dan bisa dibilang egois.


Semua orang pasti pernah mengalami proses mencari jati diri. Sebenernya, proses ini bukan suatu proses yang bisa disadarin. To me, proses ini bisa berarti bermacam-macam pencarian, mulai dari style, taste, dan yang terpenting, sifat. Waktu sma, ungkapan "lagi nyari jati diri" itu kata-kata yang sering banget diucapin sama orang-orang. Ngga jarang ungkapan itu dihalalkan untuk melakukan sesuatu yang engga-engga, ya you know. Pencarian jati diri itu mulai dari mereka-reka apa yang sebenernya kita suka, tapi terkadang hal itu terkontaminasi sama persepsi orang. Well, kalo di komunikasi mungkin bisa dikategoriin teori group think, haha. Oh iya, menurut saya, proses pencarian jati diri pun ngga stagnan, bisa berubah, sesuai sama sifat manusia yang dinamis. 

Jadi yang terpenting adalah gimana kita menghargai apapun jati diri orang dan ngga merasa ekslusif satu sama lain, dan menyebarkan hal-hal positif untuk orang sekitar kita:-)

Kita tak pernah tau akan dipertemukan dengan siapa. Dan kita tak pernah tau, kenapa Tuhan menunjukkan jalan untuk kita bertemu dengan orang itu.

Entah alasan apa juga, yang tadinya tak berharap lebih, yang tadinya hanya impian belaka, atau bahkan tak pernah sedikit pun terbersit, pada akhirnya bisa bersama.

Tuhan itu Indah, Dia sangat Indah, begitu pun rencana-rencananya. Ah Tuhan, aku terlena akan keindahan-Mu.

Ia mempertemukan manusia, untuk membimbing satu sama lain, atau mungkin menguji satu sama lain.
Mudah bagiNya mempersatukan yang berbeda, lalu memisahkannya. Sampai pada akhirnya rencananya Ia jalankan, baru lah kita bisa memetik jawabannya. Namun tidak, tidak semua orang bisa memetiknya. 

Tidak ada satu pun yang tau, berapa lama kebersamaan itu. Bisa untuk sementara, atau untuk selamanya. Waktu pun tak berguna ketika bukan kebaikan yang didapat. Inti dari semuanya adalah, bagamaina kita bisa menjadi yang baik, yang menjadi perantara cinta-Nya.





{A night thought after a quality talk with my best friend}

A Thank-you Post

Salam,

The picture above is a pic of me and my best friend, Revi. Isn't she beautiful? :-3
We met at college. At first I thought she was a mean girl because she seemed so cocky. We often met when we pray at mushola. As time goes by, we get along, I've shared everything to her, everything. My family background, my love-life story, my high school drama, everything. We spend a lot of time together, study, absent the class together to hang out, sleepover and so many more. I'm not that kind of person who easily fit in. I like making friends, but to making best friend, it's totally different. 


I don't remember how we suddenly get close and be a best friend. What I remember is every moment I spent with her is precious. I cried to her, she cried to me, we laughed, we fought. She knows I have a trauma in friendship thingy. But somehow I trust her. I really grateful to Allah for met a friend like her. A super friend like her. She's a super kind, religious, and true hearted friend. She took care of me when my tummy is killin me because of period, she give me a dark choc when I cried all day long:-3, she cried when she apologize her fault.She is one who made me see my self even better and respect my self. If you're a guy (reader), I suggest you that she's a worth-to-be-wife lady:-P 


////


I know that she wants to be an entrepreneur like her dad. I know communication major wasn't her first choice. I know she enjoy studying it. But I didn't know she's that serious to move. Yes, she is now a student of SBM ITB which is located in... Bandung:-)


She's leaving..


I'm not gonna tell how sad I am to know that, I know Allah have a way more beautiful plan than us. And I'm definitely happy for you. Thank you for everything Rev, being a close friend of you is one of the best thing ever. Thank you for always pompin' my spirit up when I'm down, thank you for everything. Be good there, may Allah take care of our friendship.


This post is dedicated to Revi Adelia, this may sounds cheesy, but I really mean it. By the way, this is not a good-bye post, this is a thank you and hello post. Hello for the new phase of life. Bismillah to us!




Poor me I got this news on my birthday month, oh bittersweet July

Instan

Hancur
Ketika semuanya hancur
Rencana berakhir wacana
Harapan berakhir kekecewaan


Ampas
Yang ada tinggal ampas
Oh hati, kenapa kamu?
Dimana aku bisa beli ikhlas?
Berapa harganya?
Susah sekali hati ini, kelut
Dasar manusia


Tuhan, aku lelah..
Lelah melatih hati ini untuk berubah
Apa Kau menjual hati instan ya Rabb?
Aku ingin hati yang putih, kilap tanpa noda
Ah, andai ada..
Inginku baik, apa perlu waktu yang lama?
Ah, baiklah.
