Unleash Your Potential !

Assalamu’alaykum, Gals... How are you today? may Allah keeps you in every part of your life. Amiiin. Here, I wanna share about my experience, outing with LIA. 

Last two weeks I went to Sadranan Beach, its place near from Sundak Beach and quite far from downtown of Jogja. Needs about 3 hours to reach that place. Every year LIA has an outing activity to make its students more closer. All of students would unleash their abilities and took it all out by performance. And this year LIA had gather its students of OYEP LIA – One Year English Program –  by trip to the beach. My class is April Morning A, and there were three other classes which join this moment, April Evening A, October Morning B, and October Evening B.

Two weeks toward the moment, my class had not plan yet. How pitty !, it was couses by debated about unused question “what would we wear to do the performance?” hmm, not quite important question banget kan. But the problem was we still discuss bout that not important question until a week toward the moment. Finally, one of us – Eggie – fill out her idea about what would we do to perform. To unleash our skills, we planned to perform our togetherness during the class. Actually we just together for about a month, yes, actually our class just began last month on April, but our togetherness was really fast sprout up.

One week approaced the moment, we worked hard, just took a picture sih hehehe but we should take it in many different places and with different clothes, so we could catch a good picture. Its picture was use to show our performances theme. We invited our beloved teachers to take a picture with slank poses, hhh, it was very funny. It showed our real togetherness, just like friends. We also made some poems in english, and every of us had make a poem to do the perform, we would read the poems. And during our performance, our pictures and some songs would play on the back. 

Until that day came... Then we gathered in LIA and went to Sadranan beach by two busses. We enjoyed the trip. We went at 14.00 and arrived there at around 16.00. Took a rest and directly played games on the beach. You know..... Its beach really really beautiful. With the clean sky, white sands, beautiful waves scroll and blue sea. Actually I never came to Sadranan Beach, so it was really amazing for me. With soft fair wind of bellows. It was amazing places.      

The game was really fun. There were 8 group includes 5-7 persons. We made a line, the lower line was close by the water of the sea and the other point was on the upper line. What should we do was... Fill out the bottle on the upper line by water,and  the water will took by towel. The towel would soak by water from beach on the lower line. This game would show how smart and how good the cooperation between the member of the group. The key was not in how fast we brought the water by towel arrived into the bottle, but the key was in how to brought the water keep stay in the towel until arrived into the bottle which should through on a long line (to the upper line) and how we put it as much as into the bottle. Unhappily, my group failed, actually we became the second winner, but there just provided for one winner. It didn’t matter, it just for having funn. Yes. We got that feel. And we ended the game with looked the sunset to its place. And the day getting dark.

At night, we showed the perform. Our permomance was very great than the other. Great job ! But there was one class who had a good performance, they did it all out. They made a movie, its movie was about their activity during their study in LIA since they woke up until the end of the class. And its package in a good movie. At that time, all of the participant were very curious bout the winner, there were two candidate. And as I thought, the group who made a movie became the first winner, but I didn’t disspoint, even my group became the second winner. It was OK. It was quite good that we bore down the other classes. After the performance, we came back to our tent which stand on the sands near from the beach. Just like camping. And in the middle of the night, we looked beautiful milky way and sound a slept on the sands. How beautiful the sky at that night... Allahu Maha Besar.

“Learn more than english”

 
We share bout experiences
We learn each other, together, we learn
Not just bout english, but more than that
More than our imagine...
There are many kinds of us that makes our class always lively
There is the cheers one, There is the noisy one
There is the quite one, There is the bossy one
We are different, But we are one
We learn, what togetherness is...

New Home, New Life

Assalamu’alaykum... Hi gals, here I come back...

:P Recently, I was very busy and didn’t have much time to write. But having an extraordinary times every day doesn’t make me lose the feeling to write. Write is very enjoyable activity for me, even it just write about something that not important, I just wanna express my feeling. I miss it so much... Yes. Two months left without writing makes me feel like I lose something in mine. So, I owe myself to fill out my story book with many beautiful stories which hidden in my mind during my blank times without writing. Arranging stories that have not writen yet.

Ok then ! Let’s surf the first story, :P 

Since graduated from college, I began to continue my study in LIA, improved my english skills. It sounds irresponsible may be, hhh, many people out there asked me, why didn’t you looking for a job because you already finished your study? or married? or continuing your study realated with your majors may be? Many questions fusillade me, and of course I should care and answer those questions. Yes. Actually I wanna work, I wanna fulfill my own finance and become an independently. I wanna keep learn and learn. And of course I am going to married. But actually I feel there is something still missing in mine, and that reason makes me chose this way. Yes. I need more knowledge about the basic of worldwide science which will keeps me to be grateful one. Move on into the right line. Its quite difficult. But I tried and tried. Moved and moved.

Last month I moved into Islamic Boarding House which I want to enter to in for a long time. Alhamdulillah. Again, one of my resolutions this year have reached. Allah always impressed me with His gives that I never thought. Subhanallah. Alhamdulillah. Wa laailaa haillallah. Hu Allahu Akbar. Prises God. Actually, this Boarding House is already closed last half of year, and it just opens every 2 years with many steps and stricts selection. But Allah gives me chance to enter to in with this condition. With His method surely. May Allah keeps me up in this path... Without apprehensive about future, about life, we know its path is already writen. We know that ”Pen is already raisen, and ink is already dried”.

Here. I met new people, with new home, new weather, new habits, it was very enjoyable. Yes. I felt the beauty of life. Here. We love each other because of God. No matter how difficult walk on this path. No matter how heavy the responsibilty. No matter how hard we should learn. We tried to keep stand in this line. Insyallah.

Come on gals, there is no reason to relax in a long hour, there is no reason to think about stop to learn, there is no time to play something no sense. Keep moved ! race your direction ! compete your dream ! we should know about the basic and the most important of worldwide science.  

Keep move gals ! Allah was always herewith us

Runtuhlah Kau Kapitalisme

Kapitalisme ! selalu menggunakan slogan kemajuan, pertumbuhan, kemakmuran dan kebebasan untuk mendemonstrasikan sistemnya dalam kehidupan. Tapi kini kapitalisme sudah memperlihatkan wajah aslinya. Ya. Dia terlihat lebih identik dengan krisis, ketamakan, korupsi dan penjajahan. 

Dalam sistem kapitalis, krisis menjadi siklus yang selalu berulang. Tahun 1998, krisis ekonomi melanda Asia, dan berubah menjadi krisis multidimensi di indonesia. Tahun 2004, Amerika terjerat krisis ekonomi, lalu tahun 2011 Eropa terjerat krisis hutang.

Perlu kita ketahui, bahwa struktur masyarakat dalam sistem kapitalis tersegmentasi ke dalam 3 tingkatan, yaitu :

1. Masyarakat kaya
2. Masyarakat kalangan menengah
3. Masyarakat miskin

Dalam sistem kapitalis, masyarakat kaya menempati posisi teratas. Ibarat piramid, mereka adalah pucaknya. Kenapa masyarakat pada tingkatan ini bisa menjadi kaya, bahkan super kaya hingga memiliki hampir sekian persen kekayaan masyarakat dunia? Ada 3 alasan utama yang bisa menjawab pertanyaan ini,

1. Dikarenakan masyarakat kaya menguasai sumber daya alam, sektor publik dan media mainstream. Kita tau bahwa kebebasan individu merupakan hal yang sangat di agungkan oleh kaum kapitalis.  Dan salah satunya adalah kebebasan memiliki harta ! dalam sistem kapitalis, kelompok kaya tidak memperdulikan seberapa banyak harta yang mereka miliki ataupun bagaimana cara mendapatkannya. Bahkan tidak sedikit yang menghalalkan berbagai cara. Dan yang mereka kuasai bukan lagi barang yang memiliki valuasi kecil di masyarakat, tetapi justru yang memiliki valuasi tinggi dalam ranah dunia. Barang tambang, minyak, energi, hutan dan sebagainya.
2. Dalam dunia kapitalisme, uang menjadi komoditas ribawi yang tidak terelakkan. Tidak lagi pandang halal maupun haram. Bunga tersebar dimana-mana, bahkan menjadi hal yang memiliki permisifitas tinggi.
3. Kaum kapitalis menggunakan metode penjajahan yang dikangkangi oleh negara barat baik secara politis, ekonomi, budaya bahkan militer. 

Sumber daya alam dan sektor publik yang sebagain besar dikuasai oleh kaum kapitalis, menyebabkan negara tidak bisa menyelesaikan permasalahan kemiskinan. Lucunya, untuk menyelesaikannya, pemerintah memunculkan ide pembayaran pajak bagi orang-orang kaya. Pemenuhan kebutuhan negara yang terus meningkat seiring dengan semakin banyaknya jumlah penduduk dan semakin bertumbuhnya pembangunan, menyebabkan kewajiban pembayaran pajak diberlakukan pada seluruh kalangan masyarakat. Tambah rempong saja. Barang publik sudah selayaknya menjadi hak masyarakat. Tapi apa daya, pemerintah justru membebani mereka. Parahnya, porsi terbesar hasil pembayaran pajak tidak dikembalikan kepada masyarakat. Tapi justru dibelanjakan kepada kaum kaya. Membuat orang kaya tambah jaya. Lucu sekali cara befikir pemerintah kita. Mungkin karena permasalahan negara yang terlalu kompleks juga jadi mereka cenderung untuk tidak mau berinfestasi. They do not dare to change ! Memberdayakan masyarakatnya sendiri, dan menghargai produk-produk lokal dan kaum intelektual yang sebenarnya potensial untuk dikembangkan. Ngapain ngurusin negara lain, masalah internal saja masih belepotan. Lagi pula jika kita mengambil porsi kerjasama dengan pihak luar mau bilateral maupun internasional ujung-ujungnya juga kerjasama yang merugikan negara walaupun berkedok memberikan keuntungan.

Kapitalisme memiliki akidah yang sangat jauh melenceng dari Islam. Semoga saja Allah mencerahkan kembali dunia dengan cahaya Islam. Merepresentasikan substansi dari Al-qur’an dan Hadist dalam kehidupan. Perlu kita ketahui bahwa kapitalisme hanya mendasarkan perbuatan pada asas manfaat. Bahwa sesuatu dikatakan baik ketika perbuatan tersebut memberikan manfaat. Sementara islam menstandarkan perbuatan pada hukum halal dan haram. Semoga Allah selekasnya mengibarkan bendera Islam. Amin. 

“Kamu sekalian adalah umat yang terbaik yang dikeluarkan di tengah-tengah manusia, menyeru kepada yang ma’ruf, dan mencegah dari yang munkar, serta beriman kepada Allah….” (QS Ali Imran : 110)

Bukankah ini pujian dari Allah untuk kita [Kaum Muslim]? Ayat ini bukan ayat sanjungan biasa. Ini adalah ayat motivasi, yang seharusnya mendidihkan semangat orang yang membacanya. Bahwa ”Kamu adalah umat terbaik!”

Dan Merekapun Datang Silih Berganti......

Finally... They have gone ! Sedih pasti... Tapi ini adalah takdir... Apapun di dunia ini di ciptakan oleh Allah berpasangan. Begitupula dengan kebersamaan... Ketika ada pertemuan, ada perpisahan yang membersamainya. Ketika ada kebahagiaan, ada kesedihan yang membersamainya. Ya. Allah telah menciptakan semuanya dengan begitu sempurna.

Rasanya begitu bahagia ketika sudah menyelesaikan studi, bukan masalah gelar, tapi masalah peraihan masa depan yang lebih matang. Keberhasilan dalam melewati proses studi yang penuh perjuangan ! Senaaaaaang rasanya ketika sudah di wisuda, memakai toga, puas ......! lepas ......! saatnya melanjutkan perjuangan selanjutnya. Mengejar masa depan. Facing the real struggle. Masa penentuan keputusan-keputusan penting yang tidak lagi main-main.

Sedih. Itulah perasaan yang sedang kurasakan ketika aku menulis ini. Teman seperjuanganku, satu persatu pergi, mengejar mimpi mereka masing-masing. Meraih masa depan. Beranjak untuk menjalani kehidupan mereka yang lebih matang. Begitupun denganku.

Ini adalah keniscayaan. Semua yang terjadi pada kita bukanlah kebetulan. Tetapi takdir... Orang-orang yang singgah dalam detik-detik kehidupan kita, semuanya... telah di tetapkan. Mereka datang silih berganti. Satu pergi yang lain datang. Bergantian menemani perjalanan hidup kita. Ketika kita di pertemukan dengan seseorang, Allah menyuruh kita untuk mengambil hikmah kebersamaan darinya. Bukan masalah simbiosis mutualisme yang mendasarkan pada kesenangan duniawi semata. Tapi masalah bagaimana menjalin ukhuwah agar tetap bisa saling memperingatkan dalam hal kebaikan. Meraih visi yang sama untuk melanjutkan kehidupan Islam. Ya. Dan itu cukup berat. Kuakui...

*****

Satu lagi... Satu temanku pergi. Teman seperjuangan yang selalu membersamaiku. Yang telah lama menemaniku menghadapi lika-liku kehidupan di kota perjuangan. Waktunya telah datang. Waktu bagi dia untuk pergi dari persinggahannya di rumah kehidupanku... Pergi untuk mengejar mimpi masa depan. Antara sedih dan bahagia. Bahagia karena dia berhasil meraih apa yang selama ini dia impikan. Dan sedih, karena ahirnya harus berpisah. Rasanya tak tega melihatnya pergi. Dan akupun memilih untuk diam.

Selamat jalan. Selamat meraih masa depan. Semoga Allah selalu melindungi... Raga kita mungkin tak lagi bersua, tapi semoga saja jiwa kita masih tetap bisa saling bertatap muka... Untuk tetap saling mengingatkan agar tetap istiqomah di jalanNya. Salam sukses... ! Jaga hati, jaga iman, semoga Allah selalu membersamai, Amin.

Untuk kalian... yang kucintai karena Allah...

Kontemplasi Diri

Ibarat besi, jika aku bisa ditempa menjadi sebilah samurai mengapa aku memilih untuk menjadi sebuah pisau dapur? Setiap orang memiliki kemampuan dan kelebihan masing-masing yang telah di berikan Tuhan. Jadilah sebaik-baik engkau bisa menjadi dirimu sendiri dan mintalah kepada Tuhan agar Ia senantiasa membimbing mu... 

Renungan malam, sebaris kalimat bijaksana seorang sahabat...

Keep Your Faith !

I can almost see it

That dream I am dreaming 

But there is a voice inside my head saying 

“You’ll never reach it”
Every step I’m taking

Every move I make feels  

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying 

Gotta keep my head held high
There’s always gonna be another mountain

I’m always gonna wanna make it move 

Always gonna be an uphill battle 

Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there 

Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side 

It’s the climb...
The struggles I’m facing 

The chances I’m taking 

Sometimes might knock me down 

But no, I’m not breaking
I may not know it 

But these are the moments that 

I’m gonna remember most

Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong 

Just keep pushing on
‘Cause there’s always gonna be another mountain 

I’m always gonna wanna make it move 

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there 

Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side 

It’s the climb...
Keep on moving, keep climbing 

Keep the faith, it’s all about the climb 

Keep the faith, keep your faith !

In a Blink of My Time...

In the last of my time in college... Allah still give a chance. Presents that He gave was always impressing me a lot. Yes. Actually I never thought that my research would be pass to get grant fund. It would be amazing chance for me in the last of my time in university. Because in the near future I will not to be an university students anymore. And the research must be finished more half of year forward by report and presentation. If the research going better, it would be possible to further in the next competition. But I do not expect too much if it will further to the national level. Because there are many competitors who have a good qualifications and substantials to be implemented. But nothing wrong with hope and trying hard to give the best. Well... very nice to be part of them. Indeed, providing services to the community is something pleasant and great dedication can be given. Let me giving you know how happy I am. Because since being student in college, actually I tried oftentimes to apply some research with various titles. HaHaHa. And finally passed. Eventhough this chance come when I finished my study. May be the feelings would be different if I got it while I was still studying. Alhamdulilla... Once more. One of my resolutions has been reached. It must be something worth in a blink of my time... Lets draw the next wandering.

Do not refuse any chance that come in you. Because chance always coming for peoples who prepared themself to achieve anything in their life. Do not be afraid about something that has not happen yet.
