Apa yang disebut-sebut itu memang benar...

Baca kalimat ini:

"Jika mampu mengikhlaskan, maka sesungguhnya itu adalah kebahagiaan sebenarnya."

Walaupun sering kali saya mendengar bahwa keikhlasan adalah hal terpenting dalam setiap aktivitas, namun baru kali ini saya mengalaminya sendiri. Sulit memang, tapi ketika hati ini sampai pada tahap mengikhlaskan, then everything will be very okay. Sesak dada dan gelisah seakan hilang begitu saja, tergantikan dengan rasa lega yang luar biasa. Hei, lihat! Saya bukan orang tersial di dunia ini, karena sesungguhnya tidak ada orang yang sial. Semua orang mendapatkan apa yang diusahakan dan telah menjadi bagiannya. Nasib saya justru masih lebih baik dibanding orang lain di sekitar saya yang kehilangan harta benda, keluarga, bahkan jiwanya dengan cara yang tidak disangka-sangka. 

Apa yang membuat saya galau tempo hari, juga ternyata bukan hal besar yang pantas membuat saya galau. Bahwa saya sudah melakukan yang terbaik itu mungkin benar, bahwa sudah banyak yang saya korbankan, itu juga benar, namun jika setiap kesulitan bermuara  pada IKHLAS, maka biarlah Dia yang mengganti semuanya dengan sesuatu yang lebih baik, insya Allah.

Kalau kata Babe, SUCI 3, "Aaah, sudahlah!" :))

Questions

This morning, don't know why, I woke up with this statement in my mind.

Sometimes, we just have to left things behind. Unanswered. Because in many case, knowing the truth isn't always be a good thing.

Million Miles Start From One Step

Well, from the title you will guess what I will write about. It's about my dream of travelling around the world. I know, it may sound too much for me with my paycheck month by month. Can I? Hey, It's my dream! No one can prevent me from having it.

Okay, here we go. These are places or countries I want to go and what things I wanna do if I were there.

1. Mecca. It's obvious that every Muslim's dream to go there and do the worship. According to me, it's a kind of travelling and worshipping in one time. Worship in best way, travel to religious places to make me closer to The Creator, Allah The Almighty.
2. Japan. I have a thing for this country from my younger years and still have it until now. I often dream of sitting under sakura trees and doing hanami, living in a small cozy apartment, walking down the neat and clean street, wearing thick coat in winter and playing snow. Speaking the language too, of course.
3. Bali. I went there last year and impressed with the atmosphere of how people treat others in friendly and warm way. People manage the tourism object very well so I can't mention any complains except for the souvenir store. I like doing the water sport also with many options. One day I will go there once more and try the sea walker.
4. Yogyakarta. I've been going here for so many times, but I can't help the sensation of this place. It's a nice place where people can go with minimum budget. You don't have to bring much money to go here. There are many places you can sleep, eat, and drink in cheap rate. All you have to do is bring compass with you, because local people will be very friendly to show you the way to go any place you want, but they will give you the direction using compass directions :)
5. Europe. The country I would love to visit is almost all countries in Europe. Finland for the good education quality. Holland for the tulip flower. Skiing in Switzerland. Walking around the historical places in France, German, Spain, and Turkey.

Maybe it's the expression of my worry of not going anywhere next year because I will be in fifth grade which mean I don't have no-students-days after the final exam and also partnered with another teacher who I can't count on. Well, with additional situation of not having annual vacation from my school. See, how cruel they will be?

Nice Afternoon

It's always "something" being teacher for me. Special for this academic year, I have an extra ordinary students in many ways. Happy, sad, full of tense, or even furious.

Yesterday, after the final test, me and my friend (another teacher of the class) decided to go a place where some of my students usually hang out. Actually, it's to fulfill our curiousity about a person that they declare has similar face with my friend, just call her Ms. Nice.

Shortly, we arrived to the place. It's a small shop with one seller. Female, below forty in age and for me she has nice personality. I like the way she serve the kids. Not very nice, but friendly. She put herself as the kids' parent and friend in same time.

Going home, I was thinking. We don't need luxurious place to hang out with friends or family. All we need is just small, warm, and convenience place that can be remembered forever.

Nice, full-of-smile afternoon.

Reminder

Even if I feel really sleepy, can't move my head up.
Even if I have nothing to do or it's holiday.
Maybe the morn is too dark and cold.
I will try my best not too sleep after Shubuh.

Just remind me not to sleep after Shubuh!

#I did it again this morning after long time and it feels unwell until now!
