note to self


There are all sorts of people who have all sorts of agendas. 
Your best choice is to live by your own, most positive and life-affirming agenda.
 There’s no need to get into petty arguments about which way is best. 
Simply express your values and opinions by the way you live.
 Adopt a positive agenda, and re-commit yourself to it each day.
 Let it guide your thoughts, feelings and actions, so you won’t be recklessly tossed around by the negativity of others. Live with a positive agenda, not in order to feel superior but rather so you can give the best of yourself to all of life. Live with a positive agenda, and experience the fulfillment of a life that has sincere meaning and purpose.

hati yang terluka


Kita selalu memerlukan sebuah cermin untuk  menilai seberapa panjang rambut kita, seberapa banyak jerawat yang menghiasi wajah kita, seberapa kedut baju yang kita pakai, atau sekadar memastikan apakah hari ini letak telinga sebelah kiri adalah sama dan seimbang dengan telinga sebelah kanan,dan sebagainya..
“Buruk rupa, cermin dibelah.”
Kalimat sakti ini seolah menyindir mereka yang enggan menerima sebuah kenyataan pahit bahawa pada dirinya terdapat perkara yang (mungkin) bertentangan dengan nilai estetika mahupun etika manusia kebanyakan, kerana pada kenyataannya cermin selalu jujur memantulkan objek  di depannya dan (atau) merefleksikan kembali tanpa hipokrit.
Saya menemui salah satu cermin yang  sebenarnya sudah Allah selipkan untuk kita temui sewaktu di saat-saat tertentu ketika saya memerlukannya. Setiap tarikan nafas, menjelma istighfar yang membawa saya kembali menemui kenyataan sejati bahawa diri yang daif ini amat sangat lemah, kecil, dan hampir tak bererti.
Jika Nabi Muhammad SAW yang maksum dan mahfudz beristighfar setiap hari kepada Allah sebanyak 70 kali dengan genangan airmata.
Jika Abu Bakar pernah  memegang lidahnya sambil mengatakan “Lidah inilah yang menjerumuskan aku ke dalam banyak lubang (kesalahan).” sehingga dia sering menangis dan berharap boleh menjadi pohon yang dimakan dan dilumat saja tanpa diminta untuk bertanggungjawab.
Jika Umar pernah didapati pada suatu malam memukul kedua kakinya dengan kayu seraya berkata, ”Apa yang sudah ku kerjakan hari ini.”
Jika Usman setiap kali berhenti pada suatu perkuburan selalu menangis sehingga air mata membasahi janggutnya, demikian juga halnya Ali yang sentiasa menangis kerana takut akan datangnya hari dimana segala sesuatu akan diperhitungkan.
Mengapa saya tidak terganggu dengan perkara itu?  Hei… Apa yang terjadi dengan saya?  Iblis mana yang telah menyelitkan rasa ujub dan takabbur ke dalam rongga hati hingga tanpa sedar diri ini seakan larut dan terbawa, bahkan   memandang diri yang lemah ini dengan kekaguman?
Saya bersyukur Allah telah mengirimkan seorang sahabat di sepertiga malam terahir yang pada dirinya saya temukan “cermin” yang dengan cermin darinya saya dapat melihat  luka-luka yang ada di dalam jiwa saya. Luka-luka yang selama ini  mungkin telah saya abaikan.

“Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang berhati-hati kerana takut akan azab Tuhan mereka. Dan orang-orang yang beriman dengan ayat-ayat Tuhan mereka. Dan orang-orang yang tidak mempersekutukan dengan Tuhan mereka (sesuatu apapun). Dan orang-orang yang memberikan apa yang telah mereka berikan, dengan hati yang takut, kerana mereka tahu sesungguhnya mereka akan kembali kepada Tuhan mereka, mereka itu bersegera untuk mendapat kebaikan-kebaikan, dan merekalah orang-orang yang segera memperolehnya.” (QS. Al-Mu’minuun: 57-60)

hello 2013!




There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, 

who never did, and who always will.


Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest

 It's about who came, and never left your side.


In time of test;
family is the best.


It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise,
 trouble or hard work. 
It means to be in the midst 
of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Laugh so hard that even sorrow smiles at you, 
fight so strong that even fate accept defeat,
love so true that even hatred walks out of the way
 and live life so well.

crawl if you must;
 just never give up.

sometime

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. 
You have to know that you're a good person and a good friend. 
What's meant to be will end up good and what's not, won't.
Love is worth fighting for but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. 
At times, people need to fight for you.
If they don't, you just have to move on and realize 
what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you.

good bye my friend


Just before I never speak to you again remember when we used to be a friend.
 You treated me like shit.
I’m never gonna deny it and I even played your little game. 
I was there every time you called my name.
I still thought our friendship would last but now everything is in the past.
All the secrets I shared and you never even cared so lemme tell you and don’t make me repeat it: 
I really  hate you and yes, I mean it.

'Men kick friendship around like a football and it doesn’t crack. 
Women treat it like glass and it falls to pieces'

So if I have to leave you I want you to know that in the end it wasn’t because I stopped caring.
 It was because you stopped being a friend.




Sorry = BAND-AID
#just because you use it, doesn't mean it's gonna heal the wound.
