<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Zaman putih biru itu dalam sejarah hidup seorang wanita
dewasa (deu) seperti saya bisa dibilang zaman paling monumental. Termasuk juga
masa menemukan jati diri.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Bagian monumental dalam sejarah saya ini sebetulnya erat
kaitannya dengan kebiasaan dan kebisaan saya sebagai seorang siswa SMP. Masa
menduduki bangku SMP ini, saya mengkategorikan diri sebagai fan berat komik
Jepang, berikut anime-nya, saya juga pecinta berat novel berbau detektif dan
sebangsanya, termasuk juga penikmat berat lagu Barat dan bahasanya. Salah satu
bahasa yang paling saya minati kala itu adalah bahasa Inggris.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Bicara tentang bahasa Inggris, sejujurnya ini jugalah yang
menjadi pelajaran favorit di sekolah. Bisa dibilang yang membuat saya bertahan
di bangku pendidikan formal ini ya, pelajaran bahasa Inggris. Semacam oase
begitu, hehehe. *iyah maap, ini hiperbola*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Kalau diingat-ingat, sebenarnya saya bukan yang ahli sekali
bahasa Inggris masa itu, tapi entah kenapa sebagian besar teman sekolah
seringnya diskusi pe-er bahasa Inggris dengan saya. Mungkin karena efek suka
pelajaran ini yang sedemikian tingginya sehingga menciptakan suatu daya tarik magnetis
yang membuat orang mengira saya jagonya (aih, ngomong apa ini). Dan karena pada
dasarnya saya orang yang kompetitif dan tidak suka kelihatan tidak tahu, sudah
pasti saya berusaha memberikan jawaban yang memuaskan pemirsa budiman…kecuali
sedang “bad mood”. *ups*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Singkat cerita, zaman putih biru adalah zaman ketika saya
menisbatkan diri sebagai pecandu bahasa.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Lalu bagaimana kabar pelajaran sekolah yang lainnya? <s>Sebodo
amat.</s> Sebagai seorang siswa yang tidak suka punya nilai jelek di akademik,
sudah barang tentu saya tetap fokus belajar untuk mata pelajaran selain bahasa.
Bukan rahasia lagi kan kalau siswa sekolah itu belajarnya sangat beragam, serta
mesti menguasai semua tawaran pelajaran yang ada. Otomatis, pelajaran seperti
matematika, fisika, kimia, biologi (IPA, kalau di SMP), ekonomi, geografi (IPS,
kalau di SMP), sejarah, PPKN, agama, kesenian, dan olahraga harus bisa
dikuasai. Oleh karena itu, saya di kala itu me”wajib”kan diri sendiri untuk
bisa berada di 5 besar peringkat kelas. Benar-benar “mental breakdown” kalau
saya mendapati diri gagal di mata pelajaran tadi. Kenapa begitu? Karena saya cuma
bisanya itu, “academic-oriented”. Jujur saja, saya iri melihat orang lain yang
punya keahlian yang menggunakan keterampilan fisik. Contohnya, pintar gambar (lukis,
desain, arsitektur, komik, dll), pintar jahit, prakarya, atau juga pintar
olahraga (termasuk senam, dll). Kesemua “skill” tadi itu, tidak satupun yang
mampu saya lakukan dengan baik. Saya bisa teorinya, tapi tidak di prakteknya.
*hela napas*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Kalaulah pelajaran sekolah, seperti kesenian dan olahraga,
hanya mengambil nilai praktek, insya Allah kondisi rapor sekolah saya tidak
bisa dibanggakan (uhuk). Sering saya merasa kurikulum pendidikan formal kita memang
menguntungkan orang-orang yang “non-physical skill oriented” seperti saya. Coba
misalnya guru olahraga saya fokusnya di ujian praktek, aduh duh, bisa-bisa masa
putih biru saya kelam-sekelamnya (yang akan dilanjutkan kekelamannya di masa
putih abu-abu).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dulu saya sangat antipati kalau sudah masuk pelajaran
olahraga (satu lagi yang bikin alergi itu matematika, tapi masih bisa
ditanggulangi dengan belajar), karena mau bagaimanapun saya usaha, tetap saja “fail”.
Mungkin karena ini juga, ada obsesi tersendiri untuk berhasil yang justru
membuat saya suka sekali menonton segala yang berbau olahraga. Pokoknya saya
tahu semua jenis olahraga, hanya jangan suruh saya praktek saja. Please!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dalam skala 1-100, nilai praktek olahraga saya itu memalukan,
karena poin 50 saja tidak pernah sampai. Lari 5 menit perut sudah kram, koprol rusak
total, push-up jatuh bangun, sit-up gagal bangun, servis bola voli tidak sampai
lewat net (guru saya saking frustasinya, akhirnya menyuruh saya berdiri persis
depan net biar bola sukses ke area lawan), lalu giliran lari keliling sekolah
saya maju duluan (niatnya supaya cepat sampai tapi…) malah tiba paling
belakangan, ….dan banyak lagi kegagalan suram yang tidak bisa diceritakan
satu-persatu. *ngetik ini aja saya malu berat, prestasi olahraga nol T^T</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Jadi, berkat masukan nilai ujian teori, pelajaran fisik
semacam olahraga ini akhirnya batal membuat merah rapor kebanggaan saya. Tapi,
pernah suatu ketika saya duduk kelas 3, seharusnya nilainya merah (saya sadar
itu karena praktek saya memang luar biasa buruknya, yang nilai teori pun tidak
bisa menolong). Begitu saya cek rapor, ternyata saya dapat nilai kasih-sayang.
Hiks, tengkyu pak guru, jasamu takkan terlupakan. Fiuhh, hampir saja merah, yah
walaupun ini bukan hal yang patut dibanggakan, tapi saat itu rasanya seperti
lolos dari jurang kemalangan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Berangkat dari ketidakberdayaan fisik ini, saya sudah
bertekad untuk benar-benar berhasil di ranah yang memang saya tahu caranya,
seperti dunia akademik, yang Alhamdulillah saya jalani kini. Dan menurut saya,
seseorang itu harus tahu batas diri masing-masing karena itu akan menjadi “stepping
point” di masa depannya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dan kemudian, dengan segala tekad untuk bisa menjadi yang
terbaik, berbagai cara saya tempuh supaya dunia akademik saya tidak
mengecewakan, terutama orangtua saya yang memang “education oriented”. Apalagi
dengan status saya yang anak pertama, rasanya seperti semua tumpuan harapan ada
di pundak. Tapi sebenarnya, saya itu tidak suka belajar lama-lama. Paling
serius bertahan setengah jam. Selanjutnya, bosan akan melanda di detik-detik
belajar yang menjemukan. Terutama kalau belajar materi yang sudah-sudah. Membaca
buku teks pelajaran itu bak menegak “sleeping pills”. Akhirnya untuk menyiasati
kondisi bosan parah ini, saya memaksakan diri untuk mengerti satu materi dalam
sekali belajar. Benar-benar maksa banget ya kan, karena pada hakikatnya tidak
ada yang bisa dipahami dalam satu waktu. Semua butuh proses. Tapi saya waktu
itu tidak mengerti esensi belajar yang sesungguhnya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Hingga akhirnya, tibalah masa ujian akhir sekolah skala
nasional. Sekolah saya itu berada di ibukota kabupaten, tapi tidak memiliki lembaga
belajar non formal layaknya saat ini. Kalau sekarang, anak sekolah yang akan
ikut Ujian Nasional pasti mempersiapkan diri benar-benar dan sampai ikut
les-les intensif ujian akhir. Saya dan teman-teman dulu tidak punya hal yang
membantu seperti itu. Beberapa ada yang belajar kelompok. Cuma, saya dan teman
dekat saat itu memilih belajar sendiri-sendiri, karena belajar kelompok ala
kami, komposisinya 10% serius bahas soal, 90% sisanya serius gosip sana-sini
plus ngerujak, ngemil, dan ngunyah makanan lainnya. Maklum, perempuan, semua
aja jadi bahan hehehe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Jadi, begitulah. Saya belajar sendiri sambil terkadang diiringi
musik (walau akhirnya musiknya sendiri kemana, saya sendiri sudah tenggelam kemana)
dan membahas sendiri soal-soal buku kumpulan ujian akhir, dan mengerti sendiri
semuanya. Baca soal sendiri, bahas sendiri, bingung sendiri, akhirnya paham
sendiri. Begitu terus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dengan segala usaha sendirian itu, ternyata saya dapat
rejeki yang tidak disangka-sangka.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Setelah selesai ujian, pasti selanjutnya harap-harap cemas
dengan hasilnya. Seperti biasa, saya berharap nilainya bagus dan memuaskan.
Saya sangat yakin itu karena mata pelajaran olahraga tidak masuk ujian akhir nasional
(wahahaha). Ketika hari pengumuman tiba, saya dan teman-teman beramai-ramai
menyerbu lapangan sekolah untuk melihat nama-nama lulusan. Sayang sekali, kami
hanya bisa melihat nama saja, karena nilai masih belum bisa diketahui hari itu.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pulang sekolah, karena sudah tahu lulus, maka saya santai
saja dan melaporkan apa adanya ke orangtua. Kemudian di sorenya, bapak saya
pulang dan dengan wajah senyum-senyum (kelihatan sekali senangnya) bapak bicara
ke saya yang sedang gosok baju. “Ika, kata ibu guru, nilai Ika paling tinggi
ya!?,” bapak ngomong begitu. Awalnya saya tidak percaya, soalnya bapak saya
hobi bercanda dan iseng, jadi saya sempat mikir pasti kena tipu biar bahagia
semu. Orang mungkin mengira saya kok suuzon begitu, mana mungkin orangtua
sendiri mengerjai anaknya, tapi yang kenal bapak saya pasti tahu, beliau itu
bercanda sama serius susah dibedakan, kecuali kalau sedang marah. Jadi waktu
itu, saya memilih untuk tidak percaya, dan berulang kali mempertanyakan
keabsahan berita itu. Akhirnya, karena bapak menyebut nama guru saya, berikut
testimoninya, saya percaya tidak percaya juga, disertai muka yang cengengesan
bahagia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Yah, sebenarnya mendapatkan posisi teratas se-kabupaten itu
bukan target saya. Dan gara-gara prestasi tadi, semua orang di sekolah jadi
kenal saya (bahkan merembes ketika masuk SMA). Waktu itu ada dua orang yang
nilainya sama (beda hanya di dua angka setelah koma, dan saya jadi yang kedua),
dan si peringkat satu itu adalah siswa dari sekolah lain, yang sebetulnya juga
teman saya ketika di SD.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Bagi saya pribadi, momen lulus dengan nilai tertinggi memang
momen yang fenomenal. Apalagi itu adalah masa-masa masih remaja dan memang
penuh cita-cita. Tempat saya berpijak sekarang tidak bisa lepas dari impian-impian
yang saya pupuk dari semasa putih biru. Karena kecintaan saya akan bahasa
jugalah yang membuat saya bisa meraih cita. Mungkin tidak banyak yang tahu,
saya mempelajari bahasa asing, Inggris dan yang lain, semenjak saya masih SD. Awalnya
hanya tertarik saja, tapi hal itu jugalah yang terus membuat saya bertahan
belajar di monotonnya pendidikan formal. Tidak bisa dipungkiri juga kalau minat
adalah faktor terbesar motivasi seseorang untuk terus maju. Hal ini baru saya
sadari sekarang, karena seperti yang saya akui sebelumnya, pada dasarnya saya
bosan belajar lama-lama. Ini juga pasti dirasakan banyak siswa lainnya. Oleh sebab
itu, melakukan sesuatu yang kita minati berpotensi mendukung kesuksesan kita di
masa depan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dan bagi saya juga, zaman putih biru itu adalah saat saya
menentukan arah hidup untuk saat sekarang. Saya bernostalgia dengan kenangan
yang telah membawa saya hingga hari ini. Ditambah lagi nostalgia dengan segala
bentuk “pemberontakan” kecil saat itu, terutama ketika tidak “mood” belajar.
Bagaimana saya dan teman-teman keluar barisan upacara dengan alasan kecapean
atau pitam (ada benarnya tapi dibumbui drama agar lebih tragis), bolos olahraga
dengan alasan sedang datang bulan (LOL), malas buat pe-er di rumah akhirnya
nyontek berjamaah (ahem), bikin diskusi di meja sendiri saat ada diskusi besar
di kelas (hihihi),…dan sederet kebandelan “anak baik” lainnya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Semuanya itu nostalgia bagi saya.</div>

<div class="_5pbx userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="js_1o" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Kuliah dua jurusan di dua universitas yg berbeda itu sudah fenomena
biasa di dunia akademik. Kalau ditanya kenapa mau kuliah dua, pasti
jawabannya macam-macam, mulai dari passion/interest yg memang di dua
jurusan tadi, permintaan orangtua, sampai iseng saja. Lho? Bisa iseng
saja? Yah, memang ada orang yg kuliah itu dg dua misi: jurusan A utk
masa depan, jurusan B utk isi waktu senggang. Well, to each their own.<br />
<br />
Tapi. Ada tapinya, lho. <br />
<br />
Kebanyakan orang yg kuliah di dua tempat itu punya challenges yg sama: time management dan stress management.<br />
<br />
Ketika waktu yg tersedia tidak banyak, dan umumnya mepet-mepetan,
mayoritas para dualer (mahasiswa kuliah dua-red) kerepotan membagi jam
terbangnya. Bayangkan saja, di kampus A kuliah 24 SKS, di kampus B
kuliah 24 SKS. Apa gak stress?!<br />
<br />
Saya contohkan saja kondisi saya
sendiri ketika jadi dualer. Baru selesai jam di kampus A, saya sdh harus
angkat kaki utk menuju kampus B, yg akhirnya bisa tercapai sambil
ngos-ngosan di ruang kuliah. Lain lagi ketika hrs rela dipalang absensi
krn tdk ikut kelas di kampus A berhubung bentrok dg jadwal midterm di
kampus B. Mau nangis tapi gak keluar air mata. It was a hard choice,
really.<br />
<br />
Nah, tapi dg segala kerepotan itu, kenapa masih mau jadi
dualer? Jawabannya kembali ke alinea satu di atas tadi. Dan, kalau saya
sendiri kebetulan krn kurang kerjaan saja, eh, krn memang dua bidang itu
saya minati. <br />
<br />
Hanya saja, ada hal yg patut disayangkan. Ketika
kuliah itu bukan atas motivasi pribadi, dan lebih krn tuntutan/ambisi
orangtua.<br />
<br />
Beberapa orang mengaku kuliah dua krn dia harus
mengakomodasi dua keinginan. Satu, jurusan pilihan hatinya, yang satu
lagi jurusan pilihan orangtua. Alhasil, sampai sekarang mereka belum
selesai di jurusan pilihan orangtuanya, padahal jurusan pribadinya sudah
dari tahun kuda dia selesaikan. Poor souls!<br />
<br />
In this case,
sepertinya para dualer terdesak ini harus menggunakan sedikit trik agar
orangtuanya rela mereka tidak melanjutkan lagi, sehingga mereka tidak
perlu stress berkepanjangan juga. Mungkin tips saya dulu bisa digunakan
ketika saya memutuskan tdk kuliah lagi di kampus B. Hehehe<br />
<br />
Walaupun kuliah dua itu pilihan saya sendiri, tapi orangtua saya sudah
warning dari awal, kalau saya tdk boleh sekali-kali balik badan setelah
maju jalan a.k.a dua-duanya harus selesai. Oleh krn itu,
mempertimbangkan warning tadi, saya memanfaatkan momen tsunami sbg
'alasan' keluar dr jurusan di kampus B, yg kebetulan di prodi ilmu
keperawatan. Yah, saya akui saja kalo saya tdk sanggup "lihat korban
berdarah" dan bisa "pingsan" nantinya...dan sederet alasan horor supaya
diaminkan permintaan saya. <span class="_47e3" title="wink emoticon"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v5/f57/1/16/1f609.png" width="16" /><span class="_7oe"></span></span> <br />
<br />
Jadi, daripada status tidak jelas di jurusan non pilihan, sebaiknya
dicari jalan keluar supaya tidak berlarut-larut kuliah penuh kepedihan
mental spiritual. Pasti ada jalan... krn yg terbaik utk setiap orang itu
adalah yg terbaik. <br />
<br />
*(Nasehat apa sih ini, haha)<br />
<br />
Sekian dari mantan dualer<br />
Best,</div>

The month of fasting has ended.<br />
Ramadan has gone.<br />
And so we're back to square one.<br />
<br />
Well, then, how should I describe my Ramadan?<br />
<br />
As far as I can tell people, it seems that my Ramadan was quite 'saved'. I thought I've made some improvements here and there, in my prayers or my deeds.<br />
<br />
Only that, perhaps, compared to others', mine was still lacking... but somehow, I feel some things have been done better. There were. A bit. Better.<br />
<br />
Also, it seems to me that I get the feeling of getting more mature(?) as the month progressed. I'm not quite sure. But,
I'd like to say...that I have, in some way, overcome my troubles that
have been bothering me the past weeks.<br />
<br />
And finally, nearing its end, I sensed an indescribable feeling
that finally I've come to term with 'everything' that goes against my
wish.<br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
This Ramadan, I have earned another confidence. And trust. In Allah.<br />

"Just because 'don't judge a book by its cover' is too damn mainstream."<br />
(Me, early Nov, 2014)<br />
<br />
Sering gwe berpikir kalo terkadang ungkapan "jangan menilai orang dari penampilannya" itu suka misleading. Kenapa? Karena gwe orangnya kritis, eh, bukan, karena sebuah ungkapan kan musti mengandung unsur universality alias kalo diterapkan di whereever, whenever bakal pas pengertiannya. Sederhananya tuh gini, semisal kita ngeliat ada orang pake jas putih lengan pendek jalan di koridor rumah sakit, trus karena kita saking terngiang-ngiangnya sama ungkapan di atas, kita lantas mikir... "Ah, itu paling sekuriti yang lagi iseng pake jas dokter." Trus, kita pun melenggang pergi. Nah, padahalnya tuh, itu seseorang memang dokter, mangkanya dia pake jas dokter. Ngapain juga ada sekuriti lalu-lalang pake seragam lain profesi di rumah sakit? Ini. Ini yang gwe bilang suatu kondisi dimana ungkapan "don't judge a book by its cover" ga applicaple across contexts.<br />
<br />
Di postingan ini gwe pengen menunjukkan kalo ungkapan tadi ga standar, dan malah sebaiknya do this: "Judge me by my cover." Please.<br />
<br />
Gwe bilang gini bukan tiada latar belakang cerita. Gwe tuh pernah beberapa kali disangkain punya agama selain Islam. And so, gwe hampir selalu mikir, nih orang apa ga liat kalo gwe pake jilbab selebar ini apa? Ada yang ngira gwe Hindu...karena kain di kepala gwe dia kira selevel kain sari cewe India. Ada juga yang nganggap gwe seorang Katolik taat, gara-gara di kampung doi cewe alim Katolik itu pake tutup kepala, kalo gwe ga salah tuh doi asalnya dari negara Balkan gitu.<br />
<br />
Lain lagi orang yang ga tau gwe agamanya apa, dimana dia nanya gwe itu agamanya apa sih, yang membuat gwe sampe harus nunjukkin ke jilbab... "Well, I'm a Muslim...nih, liat gwe pake jilbab." Trus si penanya yang kebetulan gendernya cewe itupun angguk-angguk kepala, dan bilang kalo dia juga Muslim dari Turki, yang whaddaya know, tuh doi ga pake hijab dong. Kasus ini bikin gwe jadi heran, gwe jadi mikir apa si cewe Turki ini ngira di Islam tuh harusnya cewe ga pake hijab ato gimana sih. Soalnya kalo sebelumnya yang nanya agama gwe apa tuh emang bukan Muslim, jadi kali ga tau banget tentang Islam, nah tapi yang ini nih ngakunya Islam (minus jilbaban)... tapi dia heran liat gwe nutup kepala beginih. Daaan, ada pula yang nanyain apa yang gwe pake di kepala ini part of style? Aiyaa...*facepalm<br />
<br />
Yah, gara-gara ini gwe jadi males kalo orang ga tau kalo gwe itu Muslim... People, coba ya, gwe tuh udah sengaja bela-belain berhijab gini buat nunjukkin ke dunia luas kalo agama gwe Islam. Jilbab itu ya, bukan hanya buat nutupin anggota tubuh doang biar terjaga, tapi dia itu sebenarnya multi fungsi...dia bisa juga sebagai identitas diri cewe Muslim dan juga...buat ngelap muka pas keringetan disaat ga ada tisu di dekat kita... (aih, jadi buka kartu...)<br />
<br />
Poin selanjutnya kenapa gwe pengen orang nge-judge cover gwe itu karena ada kenalan gwe yang nawarin gwe minum bir, yang lalu gwe bilang terus terang Phillips terang terus, ah, gwe ini Muslim so, don't drink alcohol lah... Lain lagi temen gwe yang waktu gwe bilang gwe never minum-minum, tuh doi suer ora jamu, ga percaya banget kalo gwe ga pernah minum, sampe dia mastiin, "Not even once? No..." dan gwe dengan kesabaran yang sudah terlatih ngadepin orang ngeyel kayak begono cuman jawab sante..."No, not even once" dan doi terus aja ga yakin gitu... sebodo lah, gwe cuman senyum-senyum simpul mati aja. Heheh.<br />
<br />
Gitu. Karena itulah gwe berharap sangat kalo orang pada ngeliat penampilan gwe dan bisa menilai dengan seksama dalam tempo yang sesingkat-singkatnya, ya jangan lama-lama juga kali diliatinnya... Emang gwe pajangan?<br />
<br />
Sebagai pemakai hijab alias hijaber-- tapi bukan hijabers yang hobi ngelilit jilbab pake style yang ribet yang hanya Allah yang tahu gimana sulitnya itu buat gwe yang suka hidup dan jilbab yang simpel ini --gwe mau kalo orang-orang tuh pas ngeliat cewe pake tutup kepala sepanjang yang gwe pake ngerti kalo with this great piece of clothes comes great responsibilities. Kalo udah pake jilbab, seluruh attitude jadi harus selaras sama identitas jilbab ini. Ya, kalo udah berjilbab, ya ga sekedar modenya aja yang diutamakan, tapi the meaning behind the clothes itu juga kudu dipahamilah... Kan ga lucu kalo ada cewe berjilbab tapi doi malah kissing sama pacarnya, pake french fries, eh french kiss pulah. Ato sambil berjilbab sambil nyuri gitu... Eleuh-eleuh, itu kan sama kayak mengkhianati Tuhan namanya. Satu sisi ngambil hati Tuhan dengan pake hijab, di sisi yang lain menikam Tuhan di depanNya pula (yalah, mana ada perbuatan yang Tuhan gak tahu) dengan bikin dosa.<br />
<br />
Balik ke gwe, gwe itu ga cuma pake jilbab, tapi baju gwe juga berlengan panjang plus gwe selalu pake rok panjang kalo kemana-mana (kalo ga kemana-mana, ngapain gwe berkostum lengkap gitu). Jadi, sudah seyogyanya seindonesianya kalo ketemu gwe orang tuh ga ngajakin gwe ke pub ato diskotik ajib-ajib... Lha, ngapain juga masuk situ, entar dikira pak sekuriti gwe mau ngasih dakwah di sono.<br />
<br />
Juga, sudah sepantasnya juga orang kalo ngeliat gwe ga berpikir kalo gwe punya pacar sepuluh ato bahkan free sex. Ih, naudzubillah. Soalnya gwe juga sempat ditanyain apa gwe punya kekasih ato semacamnya, dan dengan repotnya gwe bilang gwe ga dating anybody gitu karena gwe Muslim, bla bla bla. Nah, tapi yang ngenes tuh ada temen gwe yang juga Islam yang ngerti kalo ga ada yang judulnya 'pacaran' dalam ajaran Islam...eh, dia dong keukeuh mengira gwe pastilah punya pacar, ga mungkin banget cewe sekaliber gwe ga punya gebetan. Ohok, gwe sempet nyari tau gimana cara ngelempar batu jumrah ke dia, biar ilang setannya gitchu...<br />
<br />
Pengalaman-pengalaman yang bikin mata gwe makin sepet itu semakin memperyakinkan gwe kalo ungkapan "don't judge a book by its cover" sumpah misleading banget. Gwe mau di-judge by my cover. Please do so!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until next time. ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few days before, I was in rush to log off my laptop, and did not bother clicking the ever-appearing pop ups, asking me to allow files to close, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I went out for several hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back at home, I opened my laptop... only to find everything in there has gone back to its default state, like the factory settings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was furious. I had no idea why it suddenly became like that, and after almost an hour trying to fix it by myself, I began to feel hopeless. It was so upsetting to find the laptop in such a state because I had quite a number of files vanished.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've asked my bros and also my friends, but they had no idea how to restore the setting either. The only solution: go to the laptop service center. Ugh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For some time, I used my other laptop, and did my other stuff, and delayed my going to the service center.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But then, out of boredom, I tried finding the solutions from the internet, just to test my luck... in case, there were people who had experienced the same thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Searching for a while, I didn't get the answer to my case, because the solutions they gave were such complicated ones that I didn't even understand any of it. *what's with 'command this' 'command that'?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, with my limited computer skills, I randomly opened the Control Panel and went straight to System and Security, as I remembered my bro told me something related to the system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found some terms about the System Restore... and though my understanding of computer is only limited to using Microsoft Office and Photo Editing software, I guessed that perhaps this System Restore thingy was somehow connected to my problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so, without hesitating even for a bit (since I had nothing to lose, it's lost anyway) I clicked the restore link, and it gave me the choices to the dates/time I wanted to have the settings back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, I chose THAT DAY, the date when I logged off hurriedly... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
.... I needed to restart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
.... TADA! Oh, Thank God!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It came back! Everything that I thought was gone has BACK! *sniff</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Turned out, the solution was only a simple one. Glad I didn't have to go to the service center. At most, I needed not to take my money out of my pocket. Hahaha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moral: go learn some computer repair skills... just in case. XD</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not like I haven't got any degree yet. I have. One and a half bachelor's degree (half as in half way through only), and one plus two masters degree --which I got because after earning the first one, I still had no jobs and thus decided to take another one again which could be combined with another one making it a double degree. Sounds like a frighteningly success story, doesn't it? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yet, it doesn't. The reality is far from it. Being able to pursue my study to masters degree, as it turns out, does not make me feel like I've gained successful days. In actuality, I was only trying to escape from the harshness of real world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have never tasted the real life of a working person in this fast-paced world. Yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I must say that I am a laid back type of person by nature. Therefore, often times I prefer to do things my way and hate being in under pressure situations... that, of course are part of real work life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, people can't always have things their own ways, can they?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hence, I'm preparing myself to be able to come to terms with how life is. I'm trying to find work that's suitable for me and able to improve me, in any way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, I'm not going to escape again should I fail to get jobs, real jobs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, uh, basically, it's quite hard for me to keep my own promises, ha ha ha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's a part of me wanting to work full time and in permanent positions, but at the same time there's me who wish to upgrade my academic status. Yes, I also feel I'm quite absurd.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, like a saying that many many many people have heard of... Man proposes, but God disposes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just hope that whichever way I choose to be and whichever life God grants me, I just hope either will make my life blissful and blessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm surprisingly a very simple-minded person. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yet, not many know of it. Maybe, not even me.</div>

The reason I post the above title in here is because I couldn't figure out just why my brain keeps playing the word... at the very random times; when I ride my motorbike, when I suddenly wanting to write something, or like when I'm reading something.<br />
<br />
It just pops up in my mind, like some important thing I shouldn't forget. <br />
<br />
Heck, since I keep feeling bothered with this word (because I have no idea why it always randomly appears?)... I decide to as well dedicate a post about it in my blog.<br />
<br />
Ahem, only to make sure things, a little bit, I believe I'm not the only person who happen to experience this kind of situation, right?<br />

Once upon a time, I was tricked into buying sour tasted mangoes by a
wicked seller. Of course, since I couldn't stand the taste, it made me rack my brain to
think of how to finish eating all those sour mangoes...<br />
<br />
Days passed, I
then craved for the sweet and ripe mangoes. The ones I love. I prayed
hard and hard that I won't be fooled again when there is a time I buy
mangoes in the future.<br />
<br />
After sending my prayers, I actually forgot about mangoes the days after. Perhaps because I was busy with<span class="text_exposed_show">
my life and stuff. And then, one day, without me knowing it, my mom
bought a type of sweet and ripe mangoes. I felt blessed, and thanked
God, because the same bitter thing didn't happen to my mom. Well, she's
an expert buyer after all. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Then, after those sweet mangoes were gone, I was given a bag of another
sweet kind of mangoes. Some looked young, but they nonetheless tasted
delicious. I felt double happy because I didn't have to buy anymore. I
had a stock of mangoes already.<br />
<br />
And then recently, my bro brought
home another bag of sweet mangoes given by his in law. And, I'm still
having them. If before I had a difficulty to finish them because they
were like lemons, now I have a difficulty to finish them because they
are just too many for me to handle. (Not that I complain though)<br />
<br />
Ah, I thought that God was truly being gracious to me. I only
experienced one hardship of having to eat sour mangoes. But, He has
generously replaced (or should I say rewarded) me with three times of
the happiness of having to eat sweet mangoes.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
You people should feel weird if someone has this guilty conscience, especially if that relates to developing a project intended for charity. Yeah, people, you should.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Here is how the 'guilty' story goes:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a competition for any youth projects organized by an NGO that is due next week. The NGO will grant a maximum of USD25,000 for each project selected. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My friend, Din, and I thought that this might be a good chance to get a funding and also to help those in need. So, today, we tried to meet and create a proposal for a project we wanted. The project will be about improving livelihoods for a youth community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is a good project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We believe so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, the problem arose when we wanted to develop the framework of the project. As two people who never came across any project planning and development, we got stuck.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apparently, we had no ideas on how to make a good project's proposal. And to think that the proposal will be reviewed by a giant NGO, we, in other words, felt helpless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We did read and try to understand the essence of the project management plan from literally everywhere (read: Google) but, to no avail. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the end, we decided to follow the example provided in the NGO guideline, like the framework and project expenditure. Well, actually, we nearly copied and pasted them. But,... we tried as much as possible... not to plagiarize them. We are two honest women. Really.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We first <strike>copied</strike> created the framework following the guideline, and since we didn't want to have a similar vibe as the example, we racked our brains to get better ideas. (And I think that's why my migraine returned happily)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soon after finishing the framework, we moved on to the budget's proposal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And things just got more twisted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had juuust this one problem, actually. As we will be volunteers for the project, naturally we will work hard to meet expectations of the project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, we are two underemployed people. We can't afford everything without proper financial supports aka. we won't earn any more money when we focus on this work. Therefore, we both thought of a solution, that is inserting volunteer allowances as a part of the budget's proposal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a nice and convenient idea. Except that the guideline informed us that any payment not specifically related to project activity (ie. salary and stuff) should not exceed 10% of the total project's budget.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thought it was fine at first... before we saw that the payment has exceeded at about some thousands. Quickly, we racked our brains, again. This time, for our future selves...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's when we suddenly realized what we've been doing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Me:</b></span> Astagfirullah, dear me, can't believe we're actually thinking of ourselves while doing charity work for others</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Din:</b></span> Exactly. And with non existent money, no less</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Me:</b></span> That's why we are not fated to be higher ups. Imagine working with readily collected money... Hahaha</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Din:</b> </span>Brain's working especially when money is related</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Me:</b></span> OK. No fear... You see, even a <i>zakat</i> collector can get paid. See? we, I think, can claim as well</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Din:</b> </span>Hahaha... what an excuse</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Me:</b></span> I know right. Hahaha... now, I feel like doing a dirty work. I'm a sinner...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Din:</b></span> Hahaha... what kind of people we are really, being awesome if it's a work on money</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surely, even though we ended up laughing at our silliness, it didn't change a fact that we felt terrible. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surely, even tough we felt terrible for thinking about our own benefits, it didn't change a fact that we kept trying to obtain the allowances by any means possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the project will have about six people volunteering, the amount of allowances reached 2,000 dollars something. Just so you know, it's for the whole year period, so we've tried repressing the number as minimum as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After several times fixing and fixing the number... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The final figure of the budget eventually became: $ 23,300</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Din:</b></span> Hey, look, we DID it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Me:</b></span> Yeah, we'd GET the money. Finally!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #bf9000;">Din </span>& <span style="color: blue;">Me:</span></b> .... We should feel guilty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I've made a grave mistake letting people know one of my weaknesses at some time around last year. Ah, well, not like I've never said anything about my other weaknesses here either, however, this one was fated to cause me a nightmare. Very bad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This one problem has a lot to do with food. Yep, you read it right. FOOD.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So, why does food problem make things go awful for me?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Well, I don't know if any of you have realized by now that I do have a high tendency to be tempted to a good food. There are a number of times that this blog has been about me and food, like <a href="http://asepuster.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-biggest-concern-per-nowadays.html">here</a>, <a href="http://asepuster.blogspot.com/2011/09/i-eat-better-than-i-cook-cerita-yang.html">here</a>, or <a href="http://asepuster.blogspot.com/2011/10/mini-barb-baca-gladi-resik-for-real.html">here</a>. Ahem, I guess thrice is a quite lot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Therefore, only when and where will I want to eat food that I'm fond of eating. 'Course, naturally, unless circumstances force me to, I would LOVE to eat food that I like. Tell me, who's not?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Then there came a time I was unaware of my own downfall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In order to prepare for an unforgettable event for my getting-a-year-older birthday celebration, a bunch of my friends went as far as collecting secret info from myself. They surely made their plan will go smoothly, kept everything as usual and in check.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And I, as oblivious as ever, didn't know a damn thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">They had a big success collecting info about kinds of foods I hated to eat. I'm not sure though if food I dislike can be counted as a secret, but anyways... <span style="color: #666666;"><i>*</i>and who the heck talk about secret freely? Ugh, I'm beyond help...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After I found out what they came up with the secrets, on the Day of course, I then recalled the night on how the secrets got leaked...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was a night like any other nights in my room when I had a casual chat like any other chats I had with my roommate, Cilla. We talked almost about every unnecessary things... well, most of the time things I talk are unnecessary, so yeah...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Then she suddenly raised a question about what I didn't like to eat... and since I wasn't suspicious this could backfire, I spilled all about things I didn't want to eat or have even a tiny bit. I'm pretty picky, I must say.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So, the list of if-I-see-them-I-will-not-eat foods were leaked. My supposedly-kept-in-dark list were out then... (and I let it out again, now).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was pretty much done for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">On the Day the event to be memorable, it became miserable for me. As an additional info, the day before it I was actually suffering from a terrible stomachache. And it was still there... because of some foods (again!) that I ate for my<i> iftar </i>dinner. I had it on campus together with other Muslims, but seemed like the food was spoiled already... and so, the rest were history.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My friends said that it wasn't supposed to be about food I dislike, but still related to food nonetheless. But because of my stomachache, they switched to Plan B. Um, maybe it's a Plan C... well, who cares anyway, it's still me who played the role of a victim. Ah, I mean, the star of the Day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">SO.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The plan was like this: 1) Make a quiz for me to answer, and 2) Make the question impossible to answer, so 3) I cannot answer the question, then 4) Get me to eat the food I hated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What a simple trick they had!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What a cunning mind they own!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">To think that they made me into eating CELERY! Huhuhuhu... I don't like it so much that I always put it aside before eating because most people's cooking has celery in it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But, but, but. They especially made something that had a crazy amount of chopped celery in it that when I was trapped and had no other resorts to free myself, I had a hard time putting them aside. Because, you know what, it was basically a chunk of celery in every millimeter of the food. It was haaard to get rid of them...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You can all witness me getting tortured in the gif below. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Apparently, they also video tapped me the whole time of my birthday celebra-ture... (ah, before I forget, I'd like to thank my friends for being thoughtful of my Day... And, I know you can never be more cunning than this. Hahaha...)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
am I gonna be like this? ugh, seems like this blog is gonna have an update one for every month. am telling you that this sad situation is not caused by me being <a href="http://asepuster.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-new-post-in-what-may-have-been.html">idealess</a> rather because of me being <i>mindless</i>.<br />
<br />
yeah, so does that make any differences? boohoo.<br />
<br />
therefore, in order for my blog to look a bit lively, I decide to be a dedicated blogger. am gonna put some of my thoughts right here, right now, in this very blog.<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
um, guess I need some more thinking. a bit too forced for me, to be honest. usually, um, well, usually before posting something here, I tend to contemplate first and foremost, like thinking what topic I should bring or what good words I could submit.<br />
<br />
frankly speaking, 'was just randomly typing the title, not knowing what would go next. I know this is an unbelievably stupid move for me to make but then again... as I said earlier, guess me being <i>mindless</i> is a logical explanation for what is currently happening here.<br />
<br />
... did I just mean myself being <i>nuts</i> here? DID I? and TWICE at that?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
oh, <i>por favor</i>...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

OK, so here is the nuts I mentioned above... I got to eat some chestnuts when I had a trip to Kuala Lumpur earlier this month. I've seen a lot of chestnuts when I was in Seoul, and in Sydney as well, but just had a chance to taste these delicious roasted chestnuts when in KL. Sadly, they were seriously expensive (1 pack of 20 nuts = RM 10) that I only bought it once (and shared with my friend, too!). If only they were a lot more cheaper...</h4>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Happy Valentine's Day... or so I should say it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But, waaait... what, when, where, WHY should I say it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first thing that comes to my mind every time I hear someone at some place somewhere saying "Let's celebrate Valentine's day" or a simple "Happy Valentine's day" is THIS: who the heck is the person named Valentine that many many people around the globe seem to adore so damn much?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You see, when almost the entire world population spread the campaign on Valentine, you can't help but wonder who the person in question is. You might even wonder whether Valentine was a hero in the past and had helped the world be a better place at one point in his lifetime. You just can't help but THINK.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, then, isn't the thought above the most valid and acknowledged reason for somebody to be globally recognized and appreciated?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But, seriously, when so many people go on celebrating his name in every corner of the world, do they actually KNOW him?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I myself don't really know Valentine... let alone his life story. All I know, from my extensive research with the help of Google, Valentine was apparently a he, and a priest. Legend has it that he saved a couple madly in love, tho I had no idea what kind of hardships the couple had gone through. (I was thinking of Romeo and Juliet, but then they were just a fiction.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Based on that experience alone, how could Valentine be credited for or equal to expressing LOVE? He's not the only human to do such a deed... and perhaps, there were even more people that were able to do more than just helping a couple. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ladies and gentlemen, LOVE is a grand thing. How can we possibly relate love with a Valentine? Surely, helping a couple madly in love could not be the only factor to use Valentine's name to express the love. What if the couple was not having a pure kind of love? What if they eloped because the man took someone's wife? What if... and many what ifs to answer. With so many things left unknown, and because the story was so blur, it just doesn't make sense seeing so many people celebrate Valentine's day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ladies and gentlemen, once again, LOVE is a grand thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, without knowing why Valentine and who Valentine is... a wise person should just celebrate the love they have in their own way... not influenced by some foolish campaigns and adverts that are trying only to gain profits from our ignorance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Love is a grand thing. Let's not tarnish the love with something unclearly defined.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I rest my case.</span></div>

H. I.<br />
<br />
I feel like I need to at least greet my own blog after all this time I didn't bother to write anything. You see, people, it's year 2014 already.<br />
<br />
I know I should've posted something like 'what I've done for today that made me feel sick' or even 'whaddaya think of this picture, should or should not it's posted in my blog'.<br />
<br />
Yeah, things like those. <i>*just in case there are people who wanna know my life updates*</i><br />
<br />
S. O.<br />
<br />
I feel like I need to say something here because I know I'm kind of ignorant and thus my blog looked like lifeless since forever. And, that's exactly the very reason why I refused to be a journalist or sort of --he-eh, you see, I may not look like it but some people did ask me-- because I know I won't be able to update things diligently. <br />
<br />
S. O. part 2.<br />
<br />
I should end this post here. I have no idea what I should write next in here.<br />
<br />
I'm idealess.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">signing out</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's all about THIS! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1db6p86ammKdeV_Bt-hXpl0YZFglxGOjufSDXnVVVmBEqCNYK2E-mJEABzoAVdDE_7GOgRecqmBQUF2dqjn3iQw2OlNV-7iC8vBC9EyNxWP3dGjjvN4ono0YZkBRAeNU4QHelmjFt-54/s1600/blog5.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1db6p86ammKdeV_Bt-hXpl0YZFglxGOjufSDXnVVVmBEqCNYK2E-mJEABzoAVdDE_7GOgRecqmBQUF2dqjn3iQw2OlNV-7iC8vBC9EyNxWP3dGjjvN4ono0YZkBRAeNU4QHelmjFt-54/s200/blog5.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing has been worrying me as of lately. I recently have been in a pretty hectic school life's schedule --i.e., due to me having not only lectures but also tutorials to attend plus weekly homework of all courses to do as well. Busy, busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me, my Uni life couldn't get any worse than this term because, well, obviously because with this much in my hand I've had enough already. Migraines here and there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, it's not about my busy weekly life that I wanted to rant here. Yes, above issues are my concern, too. Who said not? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be honest, there is one thing that's still haunting me up to now. Deep inside my fragile heart, this issue worries me a lot; more than me feeling troubled with flight delays or the high-rocketing transfer fees. This is more than all of those concerns you may think I may have concerned about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is about something that deals with a matter of surviving life and improving your life even better, and bigger. Literally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've aforementioned that recently I'm in a busy mode. Now my biggest concern starts from there (ehm, slash that!), now, my biggest concern has become even more bigger (ignore grammar here, please!) because the busier I am, the more I want to have... food. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I, uh, I know that it <strike>seems</strike> is clear that I am fond of food quite<span style="font-size: large;">*something*</span>big, perhaps the number of times I think about food is higher than any common people (=one common person x 60 x 24 per lazy day).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh96uVPD66AmZyCFZShr690BsVGlKLO5HpRDYT8qQduhwbaPHAjczwfsovyTtLk7f7vASRXiC8yQ-7ZFHTz6sEIYgoOHjB9U935_b87SZQj-6WgaFPs86j-NnznO4flXcw61OkLP4FdGzQ/s1600/blog4.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh96uVPD66AmZyCFZShr690BsVGlKLO5HpRDYT8qQduhwbaPHAjczwfsovyTtLk7f7vASRXiC8yQ-7ZFHTz6sEIYgoOHjB9U935_b87SZQj-6WgaFPs86j-NnznO4flXcw61OkLP4FdGzQ/s400/blog4.jpg" width="220" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's awesomely frightening if you really count how many times I crave for food. It's scary you don't even want to know!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, this is precisely what makes me feel uneasy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lately, I've slept too much that I lost count. I even forgot whether it's night or day. Ahem, OK, I exaggerate here a little bit, but more or less so, so...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I don't even do a proper exercise for the sake of my health. What's more, I don't like exercising. It's exhausting, because I get tired easily. <b>(Yeah, that's exactly why you need exercise, you fool girl!</b> Ugh, I can't believe I write it to myself... Oh, dilemma!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, the craving for food is such an annoyance. Like, right now, while I'm typing for this post my brain keeps sending me a signal for food. I'm hungry, hungry, hangrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee... oops. Lose control, my bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guess, I should stop here. Gotta grab something to eat, or else...</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What I wanted to say here... </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have nothing left to say for the regrettable incident in the Muslim world. I have nothing more to share in regards with the terrible situation happened in the Muslim world. I have nothing...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I only have one thing. I only have my mind, my heart, and my soul to the syuhada, to the Muslims who were wrongly killed in their attempt to seek for justice. In Mesir, Egypt.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have read, I have heard, I have come to many people who either supported or opposed to their effort. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Some said they shouldn't have been killed, some said they were mere terrorists.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But, what most people should realize is that, what was the justification for some group to have the right to take the life of others?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What made that group think that holding a demonstration could mean a terror and so the protesters should be killed?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What was the killing for? For shutting them up? For the sake of instilling fear? For... fun?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On top of that, why killed the people who shared the same faith, same nation, same blood as you... why must you go to that extent?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">....</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have nothing more to say</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I can only offer them, the syuhada, a pray</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">La tahzan, Egyptian Muslim brothers and sisters, la tahzan... Innallaha ma'ana</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't be afraid, don't be sad, don't get upset</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If life looks cruel to you, and people turn their back on you</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't lose your hopes, because there is Allah</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Because Allah is forever with us</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Having been raining the whole week, on and off, I still decided to do my laundry because... well, there will be a hell lot of laundry piling in the laundry basket if I ignored this calling. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">But, fear not my friends, since I am sooo smart, I knew just what to do to change the fate of my laundry. Unlike my housemates, I wouldn't let my laundry hanging unprotected. It's a no-no in my diary, uhm, I mean, dictionary.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I wouldn't let my laundry having almost dry for getting wet again because the rain has been pouring down on and off non stop, although... we've already double checked it with the weather forecast sites just to make sure today was not going to rain... for it then suddenly rained. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, not to say that the forecast was incorrect, just it's unreliable, a bit.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">That said, I then realized that to overcome this issue, there is one thing I obviously can do. Y'know, it's the must-use item that every household, every person sane enough out there need to provide to shield themselves from the attacks of the rain. (well, rain certainly does not attack, I only make it more dramatic here...)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">For sure, you people must recognize this one particular familiar item, necessary worldwide since its first introduction in whatever year of era I don't know (sorry, no time to do research for this).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yep, you guess it right, people. It's the umbrella. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, then, how does it look like to solve the issue of protecting laundry under the heavy downpour of rain?</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">...and since I kept forgetting to write about me going to the cinema to watch 'Brave', a Pixar animated film, around July last year, now I take the time to overflow my blog with still images and gifs of Brave... which I had taken off from various sites, ehe... <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>*anyway, I need to show my gratitude for the people who had made them...

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Okay, off to my writing...</span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Meet the main character of the film, Merida of DunBroch, who apparently is a willful princess. Determined to get what she believes is right. Has a clash with her mother...</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are two things that were quite memorable to me; the moment where Merida's mother turned into a bear, and the triplets aka the boys.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was very heart-touching for me when the mother became a big bear. FYI, my friends and I were even watching it teary eyed as the film showed us the heartbreaking scenes. You see, all of us were far from home, from family, and the fact the film was then depicting a warming mother-daughter relationship, with bickering and all... shouldn't get too surprised if we broke down in tears. </span></span><br />

a topic about river for example. The materials for the Natural Sciences are

The water can flow, why, because there is a difference of water pressure. Water
also has degree of clarity. Water can also be used for washing before
prayers. So, one subject can be linked to anything. Say, there is waste in the river,
the river gets polluted, and so forth. Therefore, the children have a complete
competence. The primary school children will not get separate approaches, but
an integrated one. It will be easier to learn from small things when they grow
