Dare to be

Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!

Dybbuk , Jinx in box

This post come spontaneously out of my mind after I watched the trailer oh 'The possesion' , There's a sentence which told that the movie is based on true stroy . Then I started to find out the real stroy from this movie .

The trailer

The movie is about A young girl buys an antique box at a yard sale, unaware that inside the collectible lives a malicious ancient spirit. The girl's father teams with his ex-wife to find a way to end the curse upon their child.

As a result from my curious , I've learn that the box in the movie is the commonly used name of a wine cabinet which is said to be haunted by a dybbuk, a spirit from Jewish folklore. The box achieved recognition after it was auctioned on eBay with an accompanying horror story.

In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk ( Hebrew adhere or cling) is a malicious or malevolent possessing spirit believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person

he term "Dibbuk Box" was first used to describe the subject of an original story by Kevin Mannis which he posted as an eBay auction listing (not the story in the movie Possession) Mannis, a writer and creative professional by trade, owned a small antiques and furniture refinishing business in Portland, Oregon at the time. According to Mannis' story, he purportedly bought the Box at an estate sale in 2001. It had belonged to a German Holocaust survivor named Havela, who had escaped to Spain and purchased it there before emigrating to the United States.^[3] Havela's granddaughter told Mannis that the Box had been kept in her grandmother's sewing room and was never opened because a dybbuk—an evil spirit from Jewish folklore—was said to live inside it. He offered to give the box back to her, but she became upset and refused to take it.

On opening the box, Mannis found that it contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blonde hair bound with cord, a lock of black/brown hair bound with cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word "Shalom", a small, golden wine goblet, one dried rose bud, and a single candle holder with four octopus-shaped legs.

Numerous owners of the box have reported that strange phenomena accompany it. In his story, Mannis claimed he experienced a series of horrific nightmares shared with other people while they were in possession of the box. His mother suffered a stroke on the same day he gave her the box as a birthday present—October 28. Every owner of the Box has reported that smells of cat urine or jasmine flowers and nightmares involving an old hag accompany the Box.Iosif Neitzke, a Missouri student at Truman State University in Kirksville Missouri and the last person to auction the box on eBay, claimed that the box caused lights to burn out in his house and his hair to fall out. Haxton had been following Neitzke's blogs regarding the box from day one and when he was ready to be rid of the Dybbuk Box Neitzke sold it to Jason Haxton, Director of the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri. Haxton wrote The Dibbuk Box, and claimed that he subsequently developed strange health problems, including hives, coughing up blood, and "head-to-toe welts".Haxton consulted with Rabbis (Jewish religious leaders) to try to figure out a way to seal the dybbuk in the box again. Apparently successful, he took the freshly resealed box and hid it at a secret location, which he will not reveal.

Skeptic Chris French, head of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths' College, told an interviewer he believed that the Box's owners were "already primed to be looking out for bad stuff. If you believe you have been cursed, then inevitably you explain the bad stuff that happens in terms of what you perceive to be the cause. Put it like this: I would be happy to own this object."

somebody that you used to know

"Somebody That I Used To Know"(feat. Kimbra)

[Gotye:]

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Kimbra:]

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[Gotye:]

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

The earlier

17 agustus 2012 , bukanlah hari yang begitu ku tunggu-tunggu . Bertambah umur atau mungkin berkurangnya jatah hidup . Tapi ya nikmati saja , bertambah tua itu kan sudah pasti.

Kado dan kejutan bukanlah hal yang begitu ku harapkan saat ulang tahun , sekedar ucapan dan doa sederhanapun sudah cukup menyenangkan. 17 agustus 2012 adalah tanggal merah, dan sekaligus hari libur untuk sekolahku . Ya , tiap tahun , hari ulangtahun ku adalah tanggal MERAH .

Banyak hal menyenangkan tahun ini .

14 agustus 2012 , I got an earlier gifts , from my bestfriend , yosia . Padahal , hari ulangtahun masih cukup lama , sekitar 4 hari sebelum tanggal 17 , dia sudah memberi kado , unexpected gift hehe

A cute vintage shirt ! Disimpan didalam kotak yang gaketebak sampe yosi nanya "Tau ga ini bentuk apa ?" hmmmmm , Oh god "Rainbow cake , hahaha"

Masih dihari yang sama , acara buka bersama sudah direncanakan bersama nanda dan ica , 

makan di salah satu resto di ciwalk , yah , tak ada yang aneh dan mencurigakan saat itu . Sampai akhirnya saat sedang asik dan serius  makan .......

candid by nanda . lol

"Aku minta kuah tambahan dulu ya ..." ucap nanda , serius dan tak mencurigakan . Ga begitu digubris , aku tetap makan :'-) hap hap lahap

Dan tiba-tiba , out of the blue .. seorang waitress datang membawa kue ber-krim putih imut dengan lilin angka 17 dengan api menari di diatasnya yang tertancap pada permukaan kue . Gosh , I've got an earlier birthday suprise . Dan semua org mulai menatap ke arah meja kami , dia karnakan nanda dan ica yang menyanyikan "Happy Birhtday" song dengan begitu sumbang merdu-nya.

Really an unexpected birthday suprise from them . Mereka bilang takut keburu libur dan mudik , yah tak apa lah , ulang tahunku dipercepat bersama mereka hehe.Bukan cuma itu , mereka memberi kado yang benar-benar kocak...

Terimakasih nan - ca  ♥

Besoknya 15 agustus 2012 , lagi-lagi ada 'earlier gifts' , dari mentari tentunya , teman sebangku waktu kelas 10 . Kadonya dibungku berwarna-kan pink , berpita pink , cukup besar , dan parahnya tidak di plastik atau dikantongi , ku jingjing kado yg sangat menarik perhatian itu .. tapi terimakasih tari

Tak ada salahnya bersyukur

Bulan puasa , Bulan Ramadhan , tentu saja menjadi bulan yang penhu berkah utnuk setiap umat muslim yang menjalankannya.

Ah,Lapar , Haus sudah biasa.

Ada satu hal lagi yang tak luput dari rutinitas bulan puasa , tentu saja , menu berbuka yang luar biasa enak selalu di nantikan saat berbuka . Baru saja beres menyelesaikan saur , orang yang hidup berkecukupan , kadang selalu terfikir "Berbuka hari ini makan apa ya?" , terlalu banyak hindangan enak yang ingin dimakan , hingga bingung mau makan apa. 

Daging,Sop,Es buah dan berbagai macam hidangan enak lainnya seolah jadi hal yang biasa di meja makan , untuk mereka yang berkecukupan.Tapi pernah gak sih kita tanpa disadari ataupun sadar , mengeluhkan hidangan yang sudah disajikan "Loh kok ? Makanannya cuman ini ?" . Padahal di sisi lain , ada orang di luar sana , yang tak seberuntung kita , saat kita mengeluh seperti itu , mereka mungkin sedang berkata "Walau cuman ada tahu tempe, Alhamdulillah masih bisa makan"

Padahal di bulan puasa ini , banyak hikmah dan hal yang bisa kita syukuri , seperti contoh kecil , ya .. bersyukur masih bisa makan . 

Kawan , sebelum kita mengeluh tentang cita rasa makanan , ataupun menu makanan  , ingatlah , karna ada seseorang di luar sana yang bahkan tidak mempunyai apapun untuk dimakan.Tak ada salahnya kita bersyukur , karna bersyukur itu salah satu cara kita berterimakasih kepada sang pencipta atas hidup yang begitu indah dan berharga.

Belajar dari hal simple dan mudah , mengucap syukur "Alhamdulillah" . Rasa syukur tuh secara tidak langsung membuat diri kita merasakan , dan mebayangkan penderitaan , kesusahan dan kesulitan orang lain.Kenapa ? Kok gitu ? Karna saat kita bersyukur , kita membandingkan apa yang kita bisa dapat dan orang lain tidak . Seperti halnya berkata"Alhamdulillah , hari ini bisa makan , walau makanannya tak sesuai yang diinginkan , karna diluar sana masih banyak orang yang  sama sekali tidak makan".

Coba ingat lagi , mungkin kita dengan mudah gampang untuk makan ke restoran-restoran mewah dan enak , sedangkan orang lain di luar sana , mungkin masih penasaran bagaimaan rasanya pizza,burger,spaghetty ?.

Jadi , mari kita bersyukur , agar bulan ramadhan ini penuh berkah dari-Nya

Bicara Waktu

Bicara soal waktu , ini bukan masalah jam tangan , jam dinding ataupun jam hias dan sebangsanya.Waktu bisa dibilang barang langka , tak bisa di beli , tak bisa di putar kembali , tak bisa diberhentikan dan tak bisa di kembalikan

Ah , bisa di bilang .. Barang sekali pakai , ini lah waktu.

Bila mampu , akan ku hadiahkan waktu untukmu , untuk ulang tahunmu , atau mungkin hanya sekedar hadiah ? Waktu yang akan membuatmu bahagia atau mungkin hanya sekedar membuatmu lebih memanfaatkan hidup dengan menggunakan waktu .. sebaik mungkin

Sebagian orang , selalu menyalahkan waktu , padahal , waktu tak-lah salah , merekalah yang menyia-nyiakan waktu , meng-hiperbola kan segalanya . 


Kau tau ? 

Waktu bukanlah sekedar jam tangan yang melingkar di sekitar pergelangan tanganmu , waktu .. memberimu segala sesuatu , yang bahkan tak pernah kau tau , seperti halnya , kematian .Waktu juga yang akan membuat kau tahu , sepedih apa perpisahan , sebahagia apa pertemuan . 

Tapi , terkadang waktu lebih runcing dan tajam dari pisau , Seolah : menguji kesabaran dan ketabahan-mu.

Kau harus tau , bahwa akan ada waktu dalam hidupmu , dimana waktu akan membuatmu semakin tau , apa itu cinta , kecewa , bahagia .Akan ada hari, dimana waktu akan menunjukkan siapa teman sebenarnya , siapa mereka sebenarnya , dan siapa diri kita sebenarnya . Bahkan waktu akan membuatmu sadar , bahwa kebahagiaan tak akan pernah sesederhana seperti ditulisan di novel , dan diceritakan di dongeng pengantar tidur.

Waktu , bukanlah seperti perhiasan , waktu ialah caramu belajar , belajar menghargai kehidupan

Beda Porsi

Beda orang , Beda ujian . Semua orang pasti udah ng-rasain . Sadar ga ? Antara orang yang satu , dengan orang yang lain ngga sama cobaannya . Ujian hidup si Jajang  nggak akan sama dengan ujian yang dihadepin sama Cungik, begitupun diantara nana,nani,nina,nuni,nono dan siapapun ...


Ini bukan masalah ujian sekolah , ujian kenaikan , ujian nasional , ataupun ujian masuk ptn (?) . Ini masalah ujian hidup , semua orang punya porsinya masing-masing ,dan semua ini udah ada yang ngatur ..yaitu Allah.porsi baso 1 mangkok porsi ujian hidup udah ada jatahnya masing-masing.


"Loh ? Kenapa ? Kok gitu sih!" Ya tentu saja kan udah dibilangin tadi , udah di atur Allah ..
Lagian setiap orang pasti berbeda dari karekter,keimanan,latar belakang dan lain-lain , jadi tentu saja , cobaan-nya pun pasti beda-beda


Tetapi , tetap harus ingat kaidah dasar, bahwa


Allah tidak akan memberikan cobaan melebihi kemampuan hamba-Nya
