Book: The Midnight Library

It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves.  So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them.  This contains spoiler of course.  Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born.    The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....

Sharing experiences

Lots people write things on their own blog. Even it just a small and prrsonal thing, but they write it here. I do that too. Its not for showing off, it just for sharing. Sharing experiences. Kadang kita punya lah ya beberapa hal personal yang ga bisa ditanyain ke orang lain secara langsung, because its too personal but they wany to find the answer. Yah caranya ya search, browsing, apa lagi ? Banyak hal yang didapatkan dari sekedar iseng browsing atau emang serius cari jawaban. Aku aja beberapa kali "riset online" sebelum ngelakuin sesuatu. Karena dari riset itu bisa nemuin gambaran sebelum melakukan sesuatu. Seperti ya, pas aku mau ke mana gitu naik kereta api. Karena ga pernah naik kereta api, jadinya ya cari tau dulu pengalaman orang yang pernah naik kereta api. Kadang ngerasa "ih iseng banget sih orang ini nulis hal gak penting gini". Eiitss tunggu dulu! Gak penting karena kita gak nyari. Penting banget buat orang yang nyari. Aduh udah deh ya, semua hal itu terg...

Mengemis = mental miskin

Story of pengemis... Kita sudah banyak mengetahui modus yg digunakan pengemis2 selama ini. Kadang ada rasa kasian ketika melihat orang tua renta meminta2, "terlihat" memprihatinkan, tak berdaya, ingin rasanya memberi.. tapi tiba2 terbesit dalam hati "iya kalo beneran minta2? Kalo bukan?? Kalo ternyata dia lebih kaya dari kita gimana?". Nahh... ada memang pkiran semacam itu. Tapi ada juga pikiran yg "yaudahlah kasih aja, rejeki orang mana ada yg tau jalannya dari mana. Kali aja dg kita kasih ke mereka, rejeki kita jadi lancar, who knows yaa". Namun ada kalanya juga yg menurutku nyebelin banget nih ya "aduh pngn ngasih tp kok hatinya setengah2 gini. Nggak deh", laa tiba2 si pengemis itu menghina mencaci kita "ya allah mbak, kok medit, wes ngene kok gak gelem ngekeki tho mbak mbak". Nahahh kalo ada yg kayak gitu, percaya deh gueh kalo dia cuman modus. Ntah modus apa yg jelas itu smakin buat respect-ku ilang. Tadinya kasian, ya ilang deh a...

Jam berpuasa stabil -- indonesia

Alhamdulillah. Allah masih memberikan kemudahan bagi orang indonesia ketika berpuasa. Kalau bisa saya sebut, indonesia merupakan negara yang stabil ketika berpuasa. Apapun musimnya, kita selalu berpuasa selama 12-13 jam. Itu terbilang mudah jika dibandingkan dg negara 4 musim yg bisa melalui puasa selaam 17 jam bahkan 22 lebih. Satu kata, Alhamdulillah. Yaa.. ini adalah bentuk kasih sayang Allah kepada kita :)
