~ LOVE SOMEONE ~
Love someone
Behind the silence of women
Held in the heart the deep longing
Behind the cool of women
Held in the heart the real affection
Behind jealous of women
Held in the heart the true love
Behind angry woman
Held in the heart the compassion unimaginable

Just one minute to guess someone
Just one hour to like someone
And just one day to love someone
But…
Need a lifetime to forget someone

If we can't able to reach loved from a love
So reach it for your prayer
It is not difficult for Allah to turn the heart of someone
If Allah will it, so ask for Allah
To bring you to someone who love Allah
And he will loves you because of Allah

Love teach us holy and beauty
Don’t touch her phisically
Because she is not halal for you
Touch her by your true holy heart
Because a good man always keep honor of a woman

A good woman shy to express her feeling
She just express what held in her heart
It is not for everybody
Love the quietly in her prayer
To make sure her feeling to someone

And the last is give it all to Allah for the best of us...

Lesson from Anakluh Movie

Thursday, May 09, 2013 Add Comment
Just now I watched a movie about loving, maturity and sincerity. This is a movie film that launched in 2011. The title is Anakluh. Tell about a woman, name is Indayu (43 years old). She was single parent that was left by her husband. She had a two daughter, they are Mira (23 years old) and Kirei (19 years old). Idayu met Nando (43 years old) that was a single man. Their meeting was finding a match each other so that they were in love. Otherwise, her daughter Mira that was close to Nando has in love as well.  Although Mira like that, Idayu never blame her daughter, she tried to open with her daughter like a friend and tried to understand about her daughter's feeling to Nando.

Many lesson that I can learn from this movie that a woman is a great and strong person, but she is a weak person in front of her lover. She has a leadership in her life and in her environment that love her. She can open herself in everything and do positive to be great. She has a maturity in dealing everything that she finds in herself. She always keeps her love although she has a love before. But she always keeps it. She believes that the empty room in her heart has filled with love. She doesn't force her love because she doesn't want to hurt her lover before. In the running of time, she believes  that true, sincere and holy love will bring them together with her lover. She believes that her environment will understand and accept the feelings of love that she feels.

A mature woman has the patience to face her lover that has an emotional. Fidelity of a mature woman always makes the person that she loves as a friend, who always there when she is happy and hard. A woman has a sincere love for her lover not because of who is her lover and what her lover has, but because of what it is her lover. Besides that a woman has to be a great and able to do everything in her life and her environment that love her without demeaning the dignity as a woman. She should be strong and emphatic in the face of her love.

In Minangkabau, there are three important elements who build and maintain the cultural integrity and customs, they are Alim Ulama (Scholars), Cerdik Pandai (Intellectual), and Ninik Mamak.

BUDAYA MINANGKABAU

Minangkabau adalah suatu etnis atau suku di Indonesia, biasa dikenal dengan suku Minang yang daerahnya meliputi Sumatera Barat, sebagian daratan riau, bagian utara Bengkulu, bagian barat Jambi, pantai barat Sumatera Utara dan barat daya Aceh serta Negeri Sembilan Malaysia.

Suku Minang adalah suku yang unik karena garis keturunannya didasarkan pada garis keturunan Ibu atau dikenal dengan matrilineal. Dengan system matrilineal ini, penguasaan harta pusaka dipegang oleh kaum perempuan sedangkan hak untuk laki-laki hal ini cukup kecil. Laki-laki setelah masa akhir balik mereka tidak dapat lagi tidur di rumah orangtuanya, karena rumah hanya diperuntukkan kepada kaum perempuan beserta suami dan anak-anaknya. Mereka akan tidur di Surau (seperti mesjid kecil). Setelah menikah pun laki-laki akan ikut ke rumah istrinya, dia tidak akan tinggal bersama orangtuanya.

Dalam masyarakat Minangkabau, ada tiga orang terpenting yang membangun dan menjaga keutuhan budaya serta adat adalah Alim Ulama, Cerdik Pandai dan Ninik Mamak yang dikenal dengan istilah Tigo Tungku Sajarangan. Sistem pemerintahannya yang demokratis, sehingga semua urusan dimusyawarahkan oleh ketiga unsur tersebut secara mufakat.

Dilain hal, adat dan budaya Minang menempatkan perempuan sebagai pewaris harta pusaka dan kekerabatan. Garis keturunan yang dirujuk kepada ibu yang dikenal dengan sebutan Samande dan ayah adalah Sumando (ipar) dan diperlakukan sebagai tamu dalam keluarga. Dalam hal perempuan menentukan keberhasilan pelaksanaan keputusan yang dibuat oleh kaum laki-laki, perempuan memainkan peranan yang sangat penting. Namun demikian kaum laki-laki masih tetap memegang otoritas memiliki kekuasaan pada komunitasnya.

Masyarakat Minang dikenal sebagai masyarakat perantau. Terutama pria Minang, jika mereka tidak merantau maka mereka akan diperolok-olokkan oleh teman-temannya. Namun saat ini tidak hanya pria yang merantau, wanita pun juga ikut pergi merantau untuk berbagai alasan seperti melanjutkan pendidikan, berkarir atau pun berdagang. Karena alasan inilah masyarakat minang ada dimana-mana, mereka memiliki pemikiran yang luas, jiwa merdeka untuk mengubah nasib mengejar ilmu agama dan dunia serta kekayaan.

Budaya Minangkabau sangat kuat dengan ajaran Islam, dalam prinsip kehidupannya dikenal dengan “Adat Basandi Syarak dan Syarak Basandi Kitabullah”. Maksudnya adalah adat masyarakat Minang didasarkan atas hukum dan hukum didasarkan pada Alquran  yang berarti adat Minang berlandaskan ajaran Islam. Masyarakat Minang adalah pemeluk agama Islam, jika ada yang keluar dari agama Islam maka secara langsung mereka keluar dari masyarakat Minang dalam istilahnya disebut “Dibuang sepanjang adat”.

Dalam hal ekonomi, masyarakat Minang sangat menonjol dalam bidang perniagaan, sebagai professional dan intelektual. Orang Minangkabau terkenal sebagai kelompok terpelajar, oleh karena itu mereka menyebar di seluruh Indonesia bahkan manca negara. Berbagai profesi selain berdagang, antara lain, sebagai politisi, penulis, ulama, pengajar, dan jurnalis. Kesuksesan mereka diraih saat berada di perantauan. Banyak politisi Indonesia dari Minang, sebut saja Drs. Mohammad Hatta sebagai wakil presiden pertama Indonesia, Tan Malaka terpilih sebagai wakil Komunis Internasional untuk wilayah Asia Tenggara, Muhammad Yamin sebagai pelopor Sumpah Pemuda, Chaerul Saleh, Emil Salim, Azwar Anas, Fahmi Idris, dan masih banyak lainnya. Minangkabau merupakan salah satu dari etnis di Indonesia yang selalu menjabat di kabinet pemerintahan Indonesia selain etnis Jawa.

Dalam bidang intelektual, kebiasaan masyarakat Minang adalah berpikir dan menelaah berbagai ilmu. Mereka juga dikenal sebagai pengusaha ulung dalam bidang ekonomi. Bukan hanya di Indonesia namun sampai ke manca Negara.

TIM3.....

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 Add Comment

Time ... We live in a world defined by time, time is very important for our lives. Time will move on to the next and never will be back into the past. Only events that can be repeated, but not for with time. The clock is a timing device. In one day we had 24 hours or 60x24 minutes or 60x60x24 seconds. If viewed from the count rate, so much time available to us from morning to night in a day.

We often get caught up with the times. We know that we can not determine how long the life in this world. We can not determine the time to stay in the mortal world. Only God can decide everything. We waste too much time away. Because of negligence, laziness and inability to manage time well. We all have the time, means we have the right to manage it. Not time do to manage us. But we realized it was hard to manage the time. When God gives us the time and opportunity for positive things, we actually ignore it. But when the opportunity is lost, regret that appear later.


According to statistical data, the average life of the world is approximately 65 years old (but everything is set by God), meaning there are about 16-17 years, we get study, but it is not the optimal we use to study because of the holidays and rest, 5 years of childhood learning, the remaining 33-34 years of work and even in those not optimal because there are day off and rest, and we do not know to use the remaining time about 10 years. If we estimated the holiday and off day, it is about more than 7 years .. How meaningless the wasting time…

Time will move on to the next and will never return to the past. Therefore, we should be able to utilize our time in order to live well in the world and in the next. Honestly, for me, it was very difficult to manage my time well. When I was in school, I was given the opportunity to participate in a math competition, but I ignored it, because it was wrong and pessimistic thinking that I would probably not pass the selection race. I did not expect the race results, including those who can come to the next round. But the rules changed, and I failed to follow the next round. If I tried to use the time to prepare for the race as well as possible, of course I would be able to follow the race to the next round.

Therefore from now on we should be able to use the time as possible. For the results we submit to God, because He knows all what is best for us. We must believe that whatever we want and expect, and all the positive things that we think will one day surely occur, as long as accompanied by effort, prayer and belief in it. Only time and patience we should have to earn it.

Believe, trusting, sincere, try and pray that everything we wanted would happen. If it does not happen, we should be sincere to accept it, because the sincerity shows that we have faith in God and believe that behind it all there is a very beautiful thing that we will get.
