Tiap hari pulang pergi jakarta-bekasi dengerin lagu ini,,sebenernya semua lagu di albumnya Jason Mraz,,automatically fallin in love with all his songs,,

lets sing together lah

“LUCKY”

Do you hear me,
I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I’m sailing through the sea
To an island where we’ll meet
You’ll hear the music fill the air
I’ll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you’re all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

“I’M YOURS”

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I’m trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I’ll be giving it my best test
Nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

I won’t hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
A lá peaceful melody
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I’ma saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It’s what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
this is our fate, I’m yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find the sky is yours
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

No please, don’t complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

No please, don’t hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait
The sky is your’s!

It’s time for America to educate itself about Muslims June 10, 2009

President Barack Obama has extended an open hand of friendship in his landmark Cairo speech to the Muslim world – seeking to engage Muslims with a commitment of mutual respect. No one can doubt his sincerity. From his first days in office, he has emphasized the importance of embarking on a new chapter in relations between the United States and the world’s Muslims. But this aspiration will remain elusive without acknowledging the sad fact that most Americans remain woefully ignorant about the basic facts of Islam, and about the broad geographic and cultural diversity of Muslim cultures.

A majority of public opinion polls taken in the last four years show that the views of Americans about Islam continue to be a casualty of the attacks of September 11, 2001. Washington Post-ABC News polls from 2006, for example, found that nearly half of Americans regard Islam “unfavorably,” while one in four admits to prejudicial feelings against Muslims. American views of the Muslim world are so colored by the conflict in the Middle East and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that US citizens have no collective appreciation of the fact that most Muslims live in Asia. Or that the four countries with the largest Muslim populations – Indonesia, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh – are all cultures with millennia-old histories of coexisting with other religions and cultures. A 2005 report by the US State Department’s Advisory Committee on Cultural Diplomacy called for a new vision of cultural diplomacy that “can enhance US national security in subtle, wide-ranging and sustainable ways.” In 2008, a bipartisan group of American leaders – the US-Muslim Engagement Project – convened by Search for Common Ground and the Consensus Building Institute, issued a report calling for a new direction for US relations with the Muslim world. A primary goal of this effort would be “to improve of mutual respect and understanding between Americans and Muslims around the world.” It is time for US citizens to commit themselves to working alongside the Obama administration to turn a new leaf in relations with the Muslim world. The first step is to make a concerted effort to become better educated about the multifaceted societies that comprise the one billion-strong Muslim population throughout the world. The power of culture resides in its ability to transform perceptions. From June 5-14, New Yorkers are experiencing the rich diversity of Muslim cultures through a city-wide initiative, entitled “Muslim Voices: Arts and Ideas.” More than 300 artists, writers, performers, and scholars from more than 25 countries, including the United States, are gathering for this unprecedented festival and conference. Presentations include a dizzying variety of artistic forms from the Muslim world, ranging from the traditional (calligraphy, Sufi devotional voices) to the contemporary (video installations, avant-garde Indonesian theater, and Arabic hip-hop). A companion policy conference has attracted scholars and artists from around the world exploring the relationship between cultural practice and public policy and suggesting new directions for cultural diplomacy. A critical goal of this project is to help break stereotypes and create a more nuanced understanding of Muslim societies. Despite our enthusiasm for the possibilities of what this initiative can do to broaden understanding, a performance, a film, or an art exhibition cannot find solutions to all of the problems that divide Americans and the Muslim world. The current distance is rooted as much in ignorance as in hard political issues, many of which go beyond what arts and culture can realistically address. However, cultural diplomacy and initiatives such as “Muslim Voices” can open the door to the reality of the Muslim world as a rich space for world-class artistic production. That, in turn, can encourage an interest in addressing the harder political issues with respect and a sense of equity. For too long, the differences between the US and the Muslim world have been framed not in terms of diversity, but as the foundations of a permanent global conflict. But when people participate in an aesthetic experience that both addresses and transcends a particular culture, perceptions are bound to change. America has reached a pivotal moment in its national and global history, with new hopes for intercultural exchange, dialogue, and mutual understanding. Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton say that theirs will be an age of “smart power” that will effectively use all tools of diplomacy at their disposal, including cultural diplomacy. The US must focus once again on the arts as a meaningful way to promote stronger cultural engagement and, ultimately, to find new channels of communication with the Muslim world. Doing so will show that relations need not be defined only through political conflict. Rather, there is now an opportunity to define connections between America and the Muslim world by sharing the richness and complexity of Muslim artistic expressions – as a vital step in finding grounds for mutual respect.

DISMENORE June 4, 2009

Halah,,halah tiap bulan musti jugkir balik kaya gini,, bukannya gak bersyukur diingetin jadi perempuan, tapi sakitnya gak nahan,, Gejala yang setiap bulan gw alamin namanya disminore,,namanya keren kan,,padahal artinya nyeri haid (LOL)

berikut sekilas tentang disminore:

Dismenore adalah nyeri perut yang berasal dari kram rahim dan terjadi selama menstruasi. Disebut dismenore primer jika tidak ditemukan penyebab yang mendasarinya dan dismenore sekunder jika penyebabnya adalah kelainan kandungan.

Penyebab
Dismenore sekunder lebih jarang ditemukan dan terjadi pada 25% wanita yang mengalami dismenore. Penyebab dari dismenore sekunder adalah: endometriosis, fibroid, adenomiosis, peradangan tuba falopii, perlengketan abnormal antara organ di dalam perut, dan pemakaian IUD.

Faktor Risiko
Biasanya dismenore primer timbul pada masa remaja, yaitu sekitar 2-3 tahun setelah menstruasi pertama. Sedangkan dismenore sekunder seringkali mulai timbul pada usia 20 tahun. Faktor lainnya yang bisa memperburuk dismenore adalah:
-rahim yang menghadap ke belakang (retroversi)
-kurang berolah raga
-stres psikis atau stres sosial.

Gejala dan Tanda
Nyeri pada perut bagian bawah, yang bisa menjalar ke punggung bagian bawah dan tungkai. Nyeri dirasakan sebagai kram yang hilang-timbul atau sebagai nyeri tumpul yang terus menerus ada.

Biasanya nyeri mulai timbul sesaat sebelum atau selama menstruasi, mencapai puncaknya dalam waktu 24 jam dan setelah 2 hari akan menghilang. Dismenore juga sering disertai oleh sakit kepala, mual, sembelit atau diare dan sering berkemih. Kadang sampai terjadi muntah.

Penatalaksanaan
Pertambahan umur dan kehamilan akan menyebabkan menghilangnya dismenore primer. Hal ini diduga terjadi karena adanya kemunduran saraf rahim akibat penuaan dan hilangnya sebagian saraf pada akhir kehamilan.

Untuk mengurangi rasa nyeri bisa diberikan obat anti peradangan non-steroid (misalnya ibuprofen, naproksen dan asam mefenamat). Obat ini akan sangat efektif jika mulai diminum 2 hari sebelum menstruasi dan dilanjutkan sampai hari 1-2 menstruasi.

Selain dengan obat-obatan, rasa nyeri juga bisa dikurangi dengan:
- istirahat yang cukup
- olah raga yang teratur (terutama berjalan)
- pemijatan
- yoga
- orgasme pada aktivitas seksual
- kompres hangat di daerah perut.

Untuk mengatasi mual dan muntah bisa diberikan obat anti mual, tetapi mual dan muntah biasanya menghilang jika kramnya telah teratasi.

Gejala juga bisa dikurangi dengan istirahat yang cukup serta olah raga secara teratur. Jika nyeri terus dirasakan dan mengganggu kegiatan sehari-hari, maka diberikan pil KB dosis rendah yang mengandung estrogen dan progesteron atau diberikan medroksiprogesteron.

Pemberian kedua obat tersebut dimaksudkan untuk mencegah ovulasi (pelepasan sel telur) dan mengurangi pembentukan prostaglandin, yang selanjutnya akan mengurangi beratnya dismenore. Jika obat ini juga tidak efektif, maka dilakukan pemeriksaan tambahan (misalnya laparoskopi).

Jika dismenore sangat berat bisa dilakukan ablasio endometrium, yaitu suatu prosedur dimana lapisan rahim dibakar atau diuapkan dengan alat pemanas.

Pengobatan untuk dismenore sekunder tergantung kepada penyebabnya.(www.blogdokter.net)

Have to not maybe May 20, 2009

Semoga sekarang patah hati dan meratapi nasib hanya tinggal masa lalu *berharap gak mengkronis dan kambuhan* Sekarang lebih baik bila saya mengubah hidup untuk menjadi lebih baik dengan hidup lebih sehat dan bahagia. Setelah sempat divonis kolesterol saya tinggi, gaya hidup saya mulai saya ubah perlahan. Olahraga dan buah menjadi sesuatu hal yang sangat wajib dalam hidup saya sehari-hari. Mulai ikut klub fitnes hingga senam aerobik setiap dua hari sekali, lari pagi saat weekend, terlihat saya seperti addict berolahraga

Saya ingin mulai hidup saya dari awal lagi. Mungkin masa lalu yang kelabu tidak bisa saya lupakan, tapi biarlah menjadi sesuatu yang bisa saya kenang. Memang tak sepenuhnya kelabu, mungkin sangat jahat kalo saya bilang kelabu. Sampai hari ini saya masih bisa bilang kalo masa lalu saya itu indah walau akhirnya tidak seperti yang saya harapkan.

Hidup memang kadang diatas kadang dibawah namun pasti ada makna dibalik setiap kejadian dan peristiwa. Ini saya anggap sebagai cara allah mendewasakan saya. Dirinya yang disana juga memiliki andil yang sangat besar dalam hidup saya. Dia tak pernah jahat pada saya, hanya kita sayangnya tidak berjodoh satu sama lain. Mungkin bukan sekarang kita berjodoh, mungkin suatu hari nanti. Bila tak berjodoh kita masih bisa bersama dalam suasana bahagia seperti saat dia masih menjadi sahabat saya.

Kini lembaran baru hidup saya harus kembali saya tulis dengan sesuatu yang lebih baik dan lebih sehat. Being single and Happy

Buat kalian,,Sahabatku May 19, 2009

Minggu kemarin sampai dengan minggu ini saya merasa bersalah. Saya merasa saya kembali membebani sahabat-sahabat saya tersayang. Tuhan kirimkan ujian lagi padaku, dan mereka selalu ada di sisi. Dahulu hingga kini tak pernah putus support mereka untuk saya. Ingin menangis rasanya.

Saya  terpuruk dalam kesalahan yang sama dan masalah yang sebenarnya tak perlu untuk untuk ditangisi, dan mereka selalu ada disana, menyegarkan logika ini untuk selalu berpikir tanpa harus terlena dengan hati yang terasa begitu rapuh. Saya akui saya memang sedang sangat membutuhkan bahu untuk bersandar, mereka, sahabat saya sudah terpisah dengan jarak, namun motivasi mereka menggantikan bahu yang mereka selalu berikan untukku.

Memang tak pernah terucap kata “terimakasih” , tapi semoga mereka mengerti bahwa ada lebih dari kata terima kasih di dalam hati ini untuk mereka sahabat saya. Hidup memang terlalu pendek untuk dihabiskan dengan meratapi penyesalan, dan hidup akan sangat sia-sia bila tak ada sahabat yang setia berada d sampingmu walau dalam keadaan apapun. Hidup itu memang akan selalu berputar dan terus berputar.

Teruntuk kalian sahabat saya, yang selalu menghibur dan kawan bersenang-senang bersama, thx for everything. Saya sudah bisa mengerti dan berpikir dengan logika saya walau terkadang masih ada yang terasa sakit, tapi saya harus baik2 saja dan memang harus baik2 saja.

SUDAH May 14, 2009

Sudah biar rasa sakit ini aku simpan sendiri

Tak perlu kubagi dengan dirimu, dirinya, atau orang lain

Mungkin sudah harus seperti ini akhirnya

Aku yang mundur

Ku lepas engkau pergi

Memang sakit

Memang hancur

Tapi kamu yang melepaskan aku

Memang aku yang salah

Aku tau

Aku menyakiti mu dan juga diriku sendiri

Aku membebanmu dengan apa yang aku rasa

Karena sampai hari ini aku masih menunggu

Sayang itu masih ada di sini

Tak pernah ku harap engkau tau

Karena aku telalu takut untuk berharap

Kini aku akan ikhlaskan kamu pergi

Kau bisa memulai hidup yang baru tanpa aku

Aku lepas kamu

Aku tau kamu bisa jaga dirimu dengan baik

Tapi jangan lupa bawa payung saat hujan

Terkadang aku berharap masih bisa memanggilmu “sayang”

Kini hanya didalam hati aku memangilmu “sayang”

Sudah kulepas engkau

Walau aku harus hancur lagi, tanpa ada bahu untuk bersandar

Aku cinta, aku sayang, aku lepas kamu pergi

Take care and I Love You

What a Day May 6, 2009

Live is a mistery,,so do you

You are my mistery,,till today

And i’m sinking in this misery

Don’t know how i can fallin’ in love with you

Why you don’t try little hard for me

Why you give up in me

Am I too difficult to understand?

I’m sick of it,,crush and burn every day

Every time i miss u, tears falling through my eyes,,

What a day

When you left me in that rainy day, i believe that this isn’tn the end of my llife.

But I’m wrong,,Time keep on ticking but i’m still in here lying on this bed and start crying coz i’m missing you.

What a day huh,,

RAPUH April 29, 2009

By: Agnes Monica

Belum sempat ku membagi kebahagiaanku
Belum sempat ku membuat dia tersenyum
Haruskah ku kehilangan ’tuk kesekian kali
Tuhan kumohon jangan lakukan itu
Sebab ku sayang dia
Sebab ku kasihi dia
Sebab ku tak rela
Tak s’lalu bersama
Ku rapuh tanpa dia

Seperti kehilangan harap

Jikalau memang harus ku alami duka
Kuatkan hati ini menerimanya
