Temen Diem = Marah

Gambar
Iya, kita udah dewasa, jadi cara kita marah dengan sesama temen ya cuman dengan diem... Entah sebenernya cara itu efektif ato ngga, kitapun nggatau... Hal itu sering gue lakuin, dan sekarangpun gue tau temen gue juga bisa nglakuin hal yang sama... susah emang kalo temen tiba2 bersikap dingin sama kita, apalagi kita tinggal serumah, satu kost, yang mau ngga mau ya ketemu tiap hari. Sekarangpun gitu, dia dari kemaren gue dateng ke kost diem sejuta kata, gue awalnya emang ngga ngeh jadi gue bersikap santai aja, kaya ngga ada apa2.dan hari2 berikutnya gue mulai ngarasa,  sikap dia ke gue dingin banget, tapi kalo sama nui (temen sekamar gue) ngga gitu. Gue sebel kalo dia lagi ngehampirin ke kamar gue, tapi yang dia sapa cuman nui, dia ngga nyapa boro2 liat gue, seakan2 tuh gue cuman seonggok sampah yang tergeletak di kasur. sakit man !! Gue sempet mikir2, apa sih kira2 yang bikin temen gue ini sebel ama gue ??? Nah !! gue inget, kemaren pas dirumah sebelum ke kosan gue bikin status,...

MUSE - Madness (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...) I, I can't get these memories out of my mind, And some kind of madness has started to evolve. (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad-mad-mad...) I, I tried so hard to let you go, But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad-mad-mad...) I have finally seen the light, And I have finally Realized, What you mean. Ooh oh oh And now, I need to know is this real love, Or is it just madness keeping us afloat? (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad-mad-mad...) And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had, Like some kind of madness Was taking control (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad-mad-mad...)

Inspiring Story - The House With The Golden Windows

Gambar
The little girl lived in a small, very simple, poor house on a hill and as she grew she would play in the small garden and as she grew she was able to see over the garden fence and across the valley to a wonderful house high on the hill – and this house had golden windows, so golden and shining that the little girl would dream of how magic it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers. And although she loved her parents and her family, she yearned to live in such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and exciting it must feel to live there. When she got to an age where she gained enough skill and sensibility to go outside her garden fence, she asked her mother is she could go for a bike ride outside the gate and down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she kept close to the house and didn’t wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exa...

Inspiring Story - Two Frogs

Gambar
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frog saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. Moral Value :  - There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day. - A destruct...

Inspiring Story - Prison Help !

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation: Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison. Love, Dad Shortly, the old man received this telegram: ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!!’ At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what had happened, and asked him what to do next. His son’s repl...

Inspiring Story - The Horse That Wanted More Beauty

Gambar
A cosmic god had a horse. The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities. But it wanted to be more perfect in every way. It especially wanted to become beauty unparalleled. One day the horse said to the cosmic god, “0 Lord, you have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. I am so grateful to you. But how I wish you could make me more beautiful. I would be extremely, extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful.” The cosmic god said, “I am more than ready to make you more beautiful. Tell me in what way you want to be changed.” The horse said, “It seems to me that I am not well proportioned. My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be infinitely more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look infinitely more beautiful in my lower body.” The cosmic god said, “Amen!” Then immediately he made a camel appear in place of the horse. The horse was so disheartened that it...

Inspiring Story - Give Time to Our Family

Gambar
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.” The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.” That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the d...

Inspiring Story - A Gift of Love

Gambar
“Can I see my baby?” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears. Time proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks. He blurted out the tragedy. “A boy, a big boy … called me a freak.” He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might mingle with other young people,” his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart. The boy’s father had a session with the family physician. Could nothing be done? “I believe I could graft on a pair of out...

Unit 1 Very vs So

Dalam hal ini "very" dan "so" keduanya adverb (kata keterangan) yang jika kita lihat dalam kamus sama-sama berarti: sekali, amat, sangat. Untuk melihat fungsi dan penggunaan masing-masing adverb ini akan kita jelaskan satu per satu, dimulai dengan "very". very Seperti yang sudah dijelaskan, "very" berarti "sangat". Posisinya berada sebelum kata yang diberi arti "sangat". e.g. He is very nice. "very" bisa diikuti dengan adjective (kata sifat), adverb (kata keterangan), atau quantity word (kata yang menunjukkan jumlah). very + adjective. e.g. He is very nice. (Dia sangat baik.) adjective = nice. very + adverb. e.g. She works very diligently. (Dia bekerja dengan sangat rajin.) adverb = diligently. very + quantity word. e.g. I love you very much. (Aku sangat mencintaimu.) quantity word = much. very, too, enough Tidak perlu bingung membedakan antara "very" dengan "too" atau "en...

Orang-orang yang Ngeselin di Bioskop

1. Mr./Mrs. spoiler Orang tipe ini adalah tipe "kuman" paling ngeselin di bioskop. Mereka suka bongkar-bongkar adegan apa yang bakal muncul beberapa saat yang akan dateng. Misalnya nih, lo baru konsen nonton film action.. Jagoannya udah sekarat.. Penjahatnya udah mau nebas pedangnya ke leher si jagoan dengan gerakan slow-motion. Jagoan lo udah pasrah dan memejamkan mata. Di situ pasti elo udah deg-degan banget kan.. Perasaan campur aduk.. Sedih, kasian, takut, dan kangen mantan, bercampur jadi satu. Dan pastinya elo penasaran mau kayak apa nasib si jagoan itu.. Dan di sela-sela rasa deg-degan elo itu, mendadak elo denger suara dari belakang, "Itu ntar jagoannya bakal diselametin ama naga terbang sebelom kena tebas. Liat deh.." Kesel nggak lo? 2. Pacaran Sebagai seorang Tuna-Asmara, gue juga kesel kalo ada orang pacaran di dalam studio. Bayangin misal elo lagi asik menghayati kisah film drama.

English Proverbs [Peribahasa Inggris] #1

Give someone an inch and they will take a mile (or yard). Orang yang sudah diberikan sesuatu, sering kali meminta lebih.  A rotten apple spoils the barrel.  Sikap tidak jujur seseorang bisa memberikan pengaruh buruk pada orang2 disekitarnya.  All is grist that comes to the mill.  Semua hal/benda adalah sumberdaya potensial untuk meraih untung dan sukses.  Cleanliness is next to godliness.  Kebersihan fisik sama pentingnya dengan kebersihan hati & jiwa.  Empty vessels make the most noise.  Orang yg kurang pengetahuan lebih sering meributkan sesuatu.  Tong kosong nyaring bunyinya.  Knowledge in youth is wisdom in age.  Pengetahuan yang kita dapat selagi muda adalah harta yang tidak ternilai untuk masa tua nanti.  Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.  Pendidikan dan pengetahuan adalah modal kita seumur hidup.  No man is an island. Tidak ada orang yang bisa hidup sendiri....
