cinta oh cinta

Jika belum siap, cintai ia dalam diam.

Bila belum siap melangkah lebih jauh dengan seseorang,

cukup cintai ia dalam diam...

karena diammu adalah salah satu bukti cintamu padanya...

kau ingin memuliakan dia,

dengan tidak mengajaknya menjalin hubungan yang terlarang,

kau tak mau merusak kesucian dan penjagaan hatinya..

karena diammu juga

memuliakan kesucian diri dan hatimu...

menghindarkan dirimu dari hal-hal yang akan merusak izzah dan iffahmu ..

karena diammu

bukti kesetiaanmu padanya...

karena mungkin saja orang yang kau cinta adalah juga

orang yang telah ALLAH swt. pilihkan untukmu...

ingatkah kalian tentang kisah Fatimah dan ALi ?

yang keduanya saling memendam apa yang mereka rasakan...

tapi pada akhirnya mereka dipertemukan dalam ikatan suci nan indah...

karena dalam diammu tersimpan kekuatan...

kekuatan harapan...

hingga mungkin saja Allah akan membuat harapan itu menjadi nyata

hingga cintamu yang diam itu dapat berbicara dalam kehidupan nyata...

bukankah Allah tak akan pernah memutuskan harapan hamba yang berharap padanya?

dan jika memang 'cinta dalam diammu' itu

tak memiliki kesempatan untuk berbicara di dunia nyata,

biarkan ia tetap diam...

jika dia memang bukan milikmu, pasti Allah

melalui waktu akan menghapus 'cinta dalam diammu' itu

dengan memberi rasa yang lebih indah dan orang yang tepat ...

biarkan 'cinta dalam diammu' itu

menjadi memori tersendiri dan sudut hatimu menjadi rahsia

antara kau dengan Sang Pemilik hatimu...

*****************************************************************************

Namun...

lebih elok lagi kalau begini:

jika belum siap, jangan suka memandang yang diharamkan Allah...
jika belum siap, jangan suka mendengar yang diharamkan Allah..
jika belum siap, jangan suka berkhayal yang aneh-aneh...
jika belum siap, jaga hati dari segala penyakitnya...
jika belum siap, jangan biarkan fikiran selalu kosong...
jika belum siap, jagalah perutmu dan perbanyak berpuasa...
jika belum siap, persiapkan diri untuk bisa menjadi siap...

Ayuh muhasabah yokk!

Are You Too Pushy?

Have you ever been accused of being bossy?

Find out here if you may have an authoritarian personality.

I came across with this interesting personality quiz and the result is as below:

Your quiz score makes you: Fair Boss

You possess an average degree of bossiness. You are neither a pushover nor a tyrant.

That's really great if I'm truly a fair boss! Cool! ^_^

Everyone would love to have me as their boss then (haha dream on it!).

When emotions run high, even the most democratic and well-meaning among us may, occasionally, insist that others see things our way. But if you know someone who acts like this consistently, you may be dealing with an authoritarian personality; one who likes to be the boss and take charge. Psychologists have labeled such people "F" types, because the original tests of authoritarianism were based on traits of fascist personalities.

Could you be that type of people and not realize it?

Take the following quiz to find out.

Do take note that there's a difference between being pushy and persistent. Being persistent simply means being determined, enduring and unrelenting through the hard times while being pushy as we all know means stepping beyond acceptable boundaries.

Just 1 thing to ponder, be moderate! Since being pushy can be either good or bad, it really depends on how much 'pressure' you put on it. If you're pushing yourself or even others as in cultivating motivation to achieve something beneficial, then it would be awesome! But on the other hand, if you're pushing too hard, then it's definitely not advisable as you're putting too much pressure that might be unbearable for some people (even I would have run away from it). For instance we can see the classic way of the sellers trying to persuade the buyers to buy their products. It'll be very uncomfortable whenever we're in that kind of situation; being pushed too much and feel suffocated. Even we too can be pushy sometimes when it comes to the things that we really desire which will only affect our own feelings, emotions and relationships with others. Try putting yourself into other's shoes then you'll know. Thus, please be tolerant to others and don't be too pushy dear!

without You...

without You...i just fade away

without You...i'm lost

without You...i'm insignificant

without You...i am nothing

without You...i'm lifeless..

~Without You Lyrics
Sami Yusuf

Softly you called to me
Across the space between
Across eternity
Where love winds a path unseen

Out of the wilderness
You beckoned my every step
I stumbled sometimes and yet
I never once looked back

‘Cos I would see
The man I know I used to be
How I was lost before you reached for me
No I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do

Without You
Without You
Without You

Like a heart between beats
I would feel nothing you see
If you took your love from me
I don’t know what more would life mean?

I'd use my final breath
To call out your name and let
That breath upon the breeze
Rise like a kiss to thee

So you might see
Just what your love has meant to me
And what the cost of losing you would be
No I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do

Without You
Without You
Without You

‘Cos I would see
The man I know I used to be
How I was lost before you reached for me
No I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do

Without You
Without You
Without You

here goes..you'll know it after watching this video!

Now you know my secret..what will you do?

halloween!

I once asked my friend who celebrates Halloween, what's Halloween all about? And she said that it's a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31 which is popular in US, UK, Ireland, Canada, and due to increased American cultural influence in recent years, imported through exposure to US television and other media, trick-or-treat has started to occur among children in many parts of Europe, and even in Saudi Arabia! Traditional activities include trick-or-treat, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns (the mr pumpkin!).

Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (pronounced "sah-win"). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. Samhain was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops. The festival would frequently involve bonfires. It is believed that the fires attracted insects to the area which attracted bats to the area. These are additional attributes of the history of Halloween. Masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or appease them. (extracted from www.halloweenhistory.org)

cute mr pumpkin! -this is the only thing i like about halloween.

"So, it's more like to chase the evil spirit! Oh, come and join us this weekend for the party, it's so much fun!" -she said last Friday. I thanked her for the invitation but at the same time had to say sorry that I couldn't go to the party as I need to finish up my work during the weekend. I honestly don't know how to decline the invitation nicely as to not offending her. But luckily for me when she said, "Ooh no worries, no pressure for you. Have a nice weekend then!" "You too. See you next week ya!" -I replied.

I remember reading an article about 'What does Islam teach on manners and dealing with others?'. Islam places great emphasis on manners and on the proper way to deal with others, whether they are Muslims or not (just like my case above she's not a Muslim). Relationships between people are very important in Islam, and maintaining good relationships with others should be a main priority of a practicing Muslim. In fact, Islam teaches that Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said: "I have been sent to perfect the best of manners". He summarised the goal of his entire message into the perfection of the best of manners. For example be kind to your neighbours, removing any obstacle from the way some kind of showing care to others as well, show mercy, be generous, smiling and spread the 'salaam' to others. The most important bit is to be kind towards parents and spouses.

InsyaAllah may this will be a reminder for me and you! ^_^ ok, I need to get back to my homework now! I woke up quite late (though already had such a long sleep..ouchh) and even had a nightmare of cutting my own hair vigorously since last night the bell always ringing by the trick-or-treaters (I don't dare to open for any of them-due to health n safety precautions of course!). oh well, luckily we only have halloween once a year-till we meet again next year mr pumpkin! =P
