Apology

Some people say that “Apology is a symbol of weakness,” well I do not agree with that statement at all. Just because you apologize to someone, doesn’t mean you’re weaker than the people who you apologize to, otherwise you’re stronger than them. You’re brave enough to admitted and accepted that you were wrong, and you need to apologize to them. And it’s not wrong if you admitted and accepted that you were wrong, I mean we are human not perfect like God right? Human make a mistake and could hurt each other even though without we realize it, but if God himself who’s perfect can forgive us for our mistakes, who we are kidding that we (Human) can’t forgive the mistakes that made by ourselves, Human, who’s not perfect. But if you feel that you don’t have to apologize to someone, if you feel that you’re not wrong, and then you don’t have to apologize. I said that “if you feel” not “if you think,” because sometimes our mind couldn’t realize and won’t admitted that we are wrong, our mind is too prestige to do that. But our heart will not lie to us if we do something wrong, you’ll get the feel that you gotta fix it while you can before it’s too late and it become more complicated. But if you made a mistake and your heart couldn’t realize it and won’t admit it, then there’s something wrong with your heart. I don’t what it is, because the only person than know your heart more than anyone is yourself. But here’s the most important thing that you have to do when you’re apologize is that you gotta mean it and promise you’ll never do the same mistake in the future ever again, if you’re not, no one promising you that you will get a second chance. Made you mistake to be your experience, and learn from your experience, because experience is the most valuale lesson that you will ever get it in your life, its not the best teacher, but its the best lesson.

“Apologize while you can if you made a mistake, before it’s too late even though it’s never too late” – Redy Pajero

The review of the film “Money Ball”

In my opinion, this movie is had such of excruciating details that for some people it may be find out it was extremely boring and confusing. It’s too much talk and less action, I mean it’s not kind a movie that everyone would watch it. Well sure, for American it is an entertaining movie because it tells about one of the sports that really popular in their country. But for the people beside American, for example like Indonesian, we will find out that it was a little bit bore snored. I’m sorry, I just trying to be honest here. No offense, American. For example like sport Hockey, it is Canadian the most favorite sports, isn’t it? So if they would make a movie about it, they’re (Canadian) absolutely gonna like it cause it was the most popular sports in their country. The same thing that would happen in Europe that really liked soccer as their favorite sports, you know what I mean? I’m just saying that this film is just not for everyone.

Then again, the scene that shows when they actually play the game is really minimums. I just remembered that this movie is talking a lot about their team economics, their self-esteem problem, and bla bla bla. I mean I’m not surprise when I read the title of this movie itself, that entitled “Money Ball”, I mean what is that even mean? Is it a ball that has money in it? Is it a pile of money that shape like a ball? I don’t even understand the title of this movie. But that ashamed because the actor that starring this movie is quite high quality actor, so it can be saved by the impressing action from Brad Pitt as Billy Beane. The coach that really want the team that he coached is really success, I appreciate the hardwork and the effort that he shows and he put on in this team. So impressive. And also, I like the dramatically ending when Peter Brand shows a video to Billy Beane of some player who had a home run and he even didn’t realize it that he made a home run. It taught me that sometimes if we had do something that really big, we didn’t realize it until we sober that we had do something that really big. In the conclusion, this movie is not too bad. If you are a baseball fans, then you must watch this movie. Trust me, you’re gonna like the dramatically winning of the team in the final match. You’re gonna able to feel the emotional and feels the chilling atmosphere in one the most popular sports in America!

Happy Earth Day



Happy Birthday, Sweet Mother Nature! (Not a metaphor to express of surprise), but honestly I don’t know the ages of the Earth today, that’s why I avoided the numeral greetings happy birthday (For example: 8th Birthday). The point is, our earth is getting old. Isn’t that for everyone? That when we had a birthday, we’re getting old one year every year in the day of our birthday. And of course, we’re want a present from the other people (but if you have mature enough, you don’t need a present though), so were Earth. But I think the Earth is don’t want any present from us, it just want us to take care of it such a good care of, the Earth just want us to not stop care about it, love it, and protect it. Don’t throw a litter to the place that is not belong to a litter to be thrown, just don’t throw a litter anywhere, don’t cut off the trees until they’re all gone just for the economics reason, also think about the environments itself. We don’t want to live only just breath carbon dioxide, aren’t we? We’re gonna die for sure if we’ve only live by breathed the carbon dioxide. Sure we need the oxygen to breath, right? So, don’t cut off the trees that literally sucking over one billion carbon dioxide in a one year. That’s so nice of them to do that for us, isn’t them? Yes, they were nice. So, we have to be nice to them too right? That’s why I said all that things, and I suggest to you guys to do it. Even if we can’t do it, just try to prevent it okay? Just tried our best, cause that’s all we can do. The rest of it, it’s hang on to the decision of God to the Earth itself, because he’s the one who created the Earth and every living creature in it, including us. God bless our Sweet Mother Nature! (Once again, it’s not a metaphor to express of surprise).

Khutbah Terakhir RASULULLAH SAW

Sudah Tahukah Anda ? Detik-detik kepergian RASULULLAH SAW.

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiim...

Pagi itu Rasululloh dengan suara terbata-bata berkutbah, " Wahai umat ku. kita semua dalam kekuasaan Allah dan cinta kasih_Nya, maka taat dan bertaqwala kepada_Nya. Ku wariskan dua perkara kepada kalian, Al Qur'an dan Sunnahku. Siapa yang mencintai Sunnahku, berarti mencintaiku dan kelak orang-orang yang mencintaiku akan masuk surga bersama-sama aku"

Kutbah singkat itu di akhiri dengan pandangan mata rasululloh yang tenang dan penuh minat menatap satu persatu sahabatnya. Abu bakar menatap mata itu dengan berkaca-kaca. Umar menahan nafas dan tangisnya. Usman menghela nafas panjang. Ali menundukkan kepala.

Isyarat telah datang, saatnya telah tiba, " Rasululloh akan meninggalkan kita semua" keluh hati sahabat. Manusia tercinta itu, hampi selesai tunaikan tugasnya. Tanda-tanda itu makin kuat. Ali dengan cekatan memeluk rasululloh yang lemah dan goyah ketika turun dari mimbar.

Matahari kian tinggi, tapi pintu rumah rasululloh masih tertutup. Di dalamnya rasul terbaring lemah dengan kening berkeringat membasahi pelepah kurma alas tidurnya. Tiba-tiba dari luar pintu terdengar salam, "bolehkah saya masuk?'
tanyanya.

Fatimah tak mengijinkan masuk. "Maafkan ayahku sedang demam."

Ia kembali menemani ayahnya yang ternyata sudah membuka mata dan bertanya, "siapakah itu wahai anakku" "Tak taulah ayahku, sepertinya baru kali ini aku melihatnya" tutur Fatimah lembut.

Rasul menatap putrinya dengan pandangan yang mengetarkan. Seolah-olah bagian demi bagian wajah putrinya hendak di kenangnya.

" Ketahuilah. Dialah yang menghapuskan kenikmatan sementara. Dialah yang memisahkan pertemuan di dunia. dialah malaikul maut" kata rasululloh. Fatimahpun menahan ledakan tangisnya.

Ketika malaikat maut datang mendekat, rasul menanyakan kenapa jibril tidak menyertainya. Kemudian di panggilah jibril yang sudah bersiap di atas langit dunia menyambut ruh kekasih Allah ini.

"Jibril, jelaskan apa hakku nanti di hadapan Allah" tanya rasul dengan suara yang teramat lemah.

"Pintu-pintu langit telah terbuka. para malaikat telah menanti ruhmu. Semua surga terbuka lebar menanti kedatanganmu," kata Jibril. Ternyata itu tidak membuat rasul lega. Matanya masih penuh gambaran kecemasan.

" Engkau tidak senang mendengar kabar ini?" tanya jibril.

" Kabarkan kepadaku bagaimana nasib umatku kelak?"

" Jangan khawatir ya rasul Allah, aku pernah mendengar Allah berfirman kepada ku, Ku haramkan surga bagi siapa saja, kecuali umat muhammad telah berada di dalamnya" kata jibril.

Detik-detik semakin dekat. Saatnya Izrail melakukan tugasnya. Perlahan ruh rasululloh di tarik. Nampak sekujur tubuh rasul bersimbah peluh, urat-urat lehernya menegang. "Jibril, betapa sakit sakaratul maut ini" rasululloh mengaduh lirih. Fatimah terpejam. Ali yang berada di sampingnya menunduk semakin dalam. Jibril memalingkan muka.

"Jijikkah kau melihatku, hingga kau palingkan wajahmu Jibril?" tanya rasululloh pada malaikat pengantar wahyu itu.

"Siapa yang sanggup melihat kekasih Allah di renggut ajal," kata Jibril. Kemudian terdengar rasul memekik karena sakit yang tak tertahankan. "Ya Allah, dasyat nian maut ini, timpahkan saja semua siksa maut ini kepadaku, jangan pada umatku".

Badan rasul mulai dingin, kaki dan dadanya sudah tak bergerak lagi. Bibirnya bergetar seakan hendak membisikkan sesuatu. Ali segera mendekatkan telinganya, " Uushikum bis shalati, wa maa malakat aymanukum. Peliharalah sholat dan peliharalah orang-orang lemah diantara kamu"

Di luar pintu tangispun mulai terdengar bersahutan. Sahabat saling berpelukan. Fatimah menutupkan tangan di wajahnya. Dan Ali kembali mendekatkan telinga di bibir rasul yang mulai kebiruan, " Ummatii..., ummatii...., ummatii...,"

Berakhirlah hidup manusia mulia yang memberi sinaran itu. Allahumma sholli 'ala Muhammad wa baarik wa salim 'alaihi."

Wallahu a'lam
