Dokodemo Door!!!

I just know from Yahoo! This year is 100 years before the birth of Doraemon. Wowwww!!!! Would it be that 100 years later Doraemon actually exist? Want to know, but I don’t want to live that long.

Tells about Doraemon, there is one magic tool that really I wanna have it if it really exists. Dokodemo DOOR! \ ^ ^ /

Dokodemo door is a magic door that could lead us to anywhere. Just open the door and think about where we're headed, then the other door will directly lead us to it. Wow! Just imagine, free traffic, saving fuel, don’t need to buy tickets, fast, and don’t be afraid of working late!!! :P

I think it isn’t impossible if Doraemon will really appear for 100 years later. Perhaps now, maybe even since many years ago a research has begun to create a real Doraemon. As if the figure of Doraemon and his magic tools have inspired thousands of young people in Japan to actually make those being real and can be used by real people. Though I'm not sure if their finding would really miraculous as in the movie. There is Allah's power that limit the ability of human beings. But their efforts to realize a dream is deserves to be imitated by us.

Do we include the audience that was inspired? 

Dream and act!

Indonesian Culture

Indonesia is a country that is very rich in diversity. I Remember my friend’s story when he accompanied a Bule to eat (Bule is a call for foreigners in Indonesia). After a long time, that Bule didn’t touch the food, then my friend asked to him, "Why don’t you eat?". Then that Bule replied, "I read on the internet that the culture in Indonesia has priority over the host to eat first”. Nah lo… wich culture is it?

 Reog in Tengger

It seems that Mr. Bule didn’t know if Indonesia has diverse cultures ^_^. Me in my village sometimes still often miscommunication with my friend in another village due to language and ‘unggah ungguh’ (manners) that are different.

So if you want to learn Indonesian, it's better if you come directly to the tribe that you really want to go. Because custom prevailing in the tribe can be very different from one tribe to another, something that is considered taboo in a region could be even something that very polite in other areas. Amazingly, Indonesia can still be united today. For example, intercultural marriages can be held well, even the culture in their custom areas can be very different and even contradictory.

Hopefully Indonesia can become BALDATUN THOYYIBATUN WA ROBBUN GHOFUR, aamiin

Nodame Cantabile

I like this dorama very much. The whole story is not too different with another Japanese Dorama/J-Dorama that tells about a girl that fall in love with a cool and popular boy. But I become interest in this dorama since I knew that beside that love story, this dorama also show us about orchestra.

This is a very sort summary for that film that i took from wikipedia :

Megumi Noda, or "Nodame", is a piano student at Momogaoka, notorious for messiness and eccentric behavior. Despite being very talented, Nodame prefers to play by ear rather than according to the musical score; thus, she is regarded as sloppy and playful.

Shinichi Chiaki, an arrogant, multilingual, perfectionist, is the top student at Momogaoka College of Music and has secret ambitions to become a conductor.

When they meet by accident, Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame's unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Because of Nodame, Chiaki gets the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition.And soon :D

I begin curious about what the meaning of Cantabile. Before, I thought it was Nodame's name ^_^. But finally I found the definition of it. Cantabile is a musical term that means playing with a heave / the singing (canta = singing).

Violin, guitar, piano, I want to be able to play at least one of those instrument. Music can hypnotize me. Music often makes me inspired, happy, or even makes my mood more troubled. But I have to control myself to not too often listening music and make it balance by listening the most beautiful harmony and verse, My Holy Qur'an, it is guidance, science, cure, warning, the manual book for our life on earth. 

GALAU

I try to find word 'GALAU' in English by asking Mr. Google translation, and i find 2 words : confusion, hubbub.

Actually, word 'GALAU' is one of Indonesian people's creativity. This word is being popular in this year, but I still don't know who started using that word. When I type 'GALAU' on Google search (9/5/2012), I found 21.900.000 articles write about it, can you imagine how popular is it? If 'GALAU' is a human, may be he'll be the most popular artist of the year ^_^. This word even used by many company to promote their product, check it out !

Even, I have found 3 songs that use this word to be the title : Citra Scholastika - Galau....Galau....Galau, Five minutes - Galau, and Yovie & Nuno - Galau. Oh, it has been an endemic disease.

So, what is GALAU? may be it is a condition when some one being confuse of something, think so much about something, don't know what to do about something, suddenly being melancholy, sad, or not comfort. GALAU can be an acute illness if we don't know the right way to solve it.

I think this song can show us how to solve the endemic of GALAU. I hope my translation don't change the real meaning of this song. Thanks to OPICK for the song.

Back to Allah

(Kembali pada Allah)

-- by Opick --

HasbunaLlah wa nikmal wakil

Nikmal mawlaa wa ni'man nashir

When your heart is anxious
no rest, no peace
When your heart is falter,
wounded, languish
 

Is my heart being far from God, from Allah
is my heart lost the remembrance of Allah, my faith

Only with Allah
Your heart will get a rest

By remembering Allah
All anxiety will be gone
Allah is enough for us
Our heart depend and surrendered to Him

^ Let's back to Allah^

Guide Me All The Way

Listening to Maher Zain's song, "Guide Me All The Way", makes me remember about Abu Bakar Ash Shiddiq ra. He ever said "O God! Let this world be in my hands, and not in my heart". 

As we know if we have learned about his story, Abu Bakar ra. is one of Khulafaur Rosyidin that means he was a Kholifah, Amir, or a President of a country. With that status, he really careful about what had been mandated to him. Some part of Jazirah Arab was in his hand, but he afraid if his power made him forget that all of power, strength, force, even he himself an his family are only belong to Allah. He afraid if that time when every body will be asked about her life, he can't account to Malaikah for what all of things that had been given to him in the word. For him, the best place is akhirat, not here in this world. So, there were no need to collect the wealth of the world, much less in a way that is not blessed by Allah, The Owner of us.

Let's pray that Allah always guide us in the whole of our activities, problems, and all. Keep Allah, then Allah will take care of you.

Guide Me All The Way Lyrics
by Maher Zain

I know that You could easily
Take away every thing You’ve given me
And I try to remember
Not to take anything for granted
‘Cause I know that one day
Suddenly this will all come to an end
So my last wish is for you to be pleased with Me

Chorus:
Allah, Ya Allah
Guide me all the way to your Jannah
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Don’t let me go astray ’cause I need you
By my side, I wish to be close
Close to You throughout my life
Ya Allah, oh Allah!
Be with me all the way

I know that sometime I do
I do forget that my last breath could be the last
Forgive me ’cause I cant thank you enough
Forgive me when I doubt your love
Now I pray for that day
when all this stops and comes to an end
So my my last wish is for You to be pleased with me

CHORUS

Day by day passes
And I think that my time could be near
So I pray: O God let this world be in my hands
And not in my heart
‘Cause soon I’ll have to leave it [X2]

CHORUS [X3]

Guide me all the way
Don’t let me go astray

--***--

"Guide us on the straight path, The path of those whom Thou hast favored; Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray" (Al Fatihah : 6-7)

Alone Again

tak ada maksud apa2 ketika memposting lirik lagu ini. aq sama sekali tidak merasa lonely, hanya saja habis melihat film Ice Age 3 membuatku turut prihatin atsa nasib si kacang.

Menemani aktifitasku di depan komputer, hedset di telingaku berulang2 memperdengarkan lagu sendu yang lucu itu. Seolah2 melihat si kacang yang jinak2 merpati itu menyanyikannya dengan hati remuk redam, merana mendapati fans beratnya berpindah ke lain hati... "I wish you only knew, that I'm only nuts for you!!! Alone again, naturaly...."

berikut ini liriknya

chad fischer - Alone Again (ice age 3)

I shouldn't be hanging' round
when the world's turned upside down
you abandoned me,
I fell off the tree,
to the hard and lonely ground
you've found somebody new,
and cracked my shell in two,
how could I foresee?
you'd turn out to be,
such a buck toothed Casanova...
now there's only strife
and my life has lost all meaning...
how I miss your furry lips,
your shallow,
rapid breathing...

I wish you only knew...
that I'm only nuts for you....!!!
alone again...naturally....

now there's only strife
and my life has lost all meaning...
how I miss your furry lips,
your shallow,
rapid breathing...
I wish you only knew...
that I'm only nuts for you!!!
Alone again...naturally....

Alone Again....naturally...
