Diberkatilah orang yang memahami
Langkahku yang gontai dan tanganku yang tak berdaya.
Diberkatilah orang yang tahu bibirku kini.
Sudah payah untuk bicara kepada orang.
Diberkatilah orang yang tampaknya tahu
Hidungku sumbat dan tanggapanku lamban.
Diberkatilah orang seakan tak melihatku
Canggung menumpahkan teh diatas nampan.
Diberkatilah orang yang dengan senyuman riang
Mampir mengobrol sekali-kali.
Diberkatilah orang yang tak pernah bilang
Ceritamu itu tak berguna sama sekali.
Diberkatilah orang yang memberitahu
Aku disayangi dan tidak seorang diri.
Diberkatilah orang-orang yang baik padaku
Bila hatiku gundah dialah yang menghampiri.
Diberkatilah mereka yang meringankan hari-hari
Senja hidupku dengan cara-cara yang penuh kasih.
Diberkatilah sahabat yang setia dan sejuk.
Berkat merekalah aku masih disini.

Untuk yang sedang jatuh cinta..
Sebuah makna yang memberimu kesejukan
Mawar yang tandus karena merahnya menghilang
Seperti kamu yang lemah tak berdaya karena cintamu hanya untuknya
Cinta,
Sebuah pemberian yang mulia
Gaya gravitasi tak lagi mampu mencapaimu ketika melayang bersamanya
Berikanlah cinta untuknya, jangan biarkan ia lelah karenanya
Malam dan rembulan menjadi pelabuhanmu
Saat kau gundahkan cintamu
Saat rindunya digenggam sang malam
Namun senyumnya tetap ada bersama rembulan
No human can live without eatung -that’s for sure. But how people eat varies from place to place. What is a common thing to do in a place or a country, sometimes, is considered weird in other! You’d better equip yourself with the knowledge of table manners in other countries… Just in case you may visit them one day.
Kuwait
Hanging out with friends is a common thing here. In Kuwait, you’re not supposed to eat at the same table with a member of the opposite sex in public unless they are family. This is disrespectful and rude in their culture and will probably get the offenders escorted out. Well, not only in Kuwait, this rule is also applied in some Arab other countries.
France
In restaurants in France, asking a chef for ketchup would be an insult –it means you don’t like the food. If you really like the food, you may compliment the chef.
Tanzania
It is rude to show up early at dinner, try to be 15-30 minutes later than expected. When eating on a mat or carpet, do not expose the sole of your feet. It is considered very rude.
Japan
Slurping your food in front of others is a no-no here in Indonesia. But if you do it in Japan, it means that you compliment the chef on the delicious meal. It means you like your food so much, you can’t wait to get it into your mouth.
Egypt
While burping in most of the Western world is considered rude and ill-mannered, in Egypt it is the highest compliment a guest can pay to remark on the quality of the food. When taking a holiday in Egypt be sure to gulp down plent of cola or other fizzy drinks to show your full appreciation for the meal.
Poland
If you’re eating a whole baked fish in Poland, don’t flip it over. There’s an old wives’ tale in Poland that says flipping over a fish on a plate will flip over the fisherman’s boat in the water. Talk about being superstitious!
China
Our mothers always tell us to finish our meal until the last bit. But in China, it is considered rude to finish everything you are given to eat. Doing so is an indication that the host has not provided you with enough food to eat. To avoid such embarrasement, always leave some rice on your plate at the end of the meal to indicated that you have enjoyed you meal, but that you are indeed full.
Yemen
In Yemen,it is customary to eat together from one big plate at dinner or at a wedding reception. It doesn’t mean that they don’t have more plates or food. It symbolizes the togetherness and sharing in this country, and also in other Arab countries.
Like a flower, your fragrant breath that I feel
Polite of colour that give a coldness
Cure the dark.
Like a gone, all the word can’t be expressed
All of feel never to talking
Never to pronounced.
A heart that I give a love,
I give a endearment, I give a prise
To love each other, to guard each other
To combine each other.
I feel gray at opening..
Tears was escorting my opening..
But, happiness and wisdom had change me..
I remember when I spent my night for crying, then I slept with tears..
When morning was come, my eyes is swollen, but no one who knew..
I remember when I was laughing with you at afternoon.
You had enough for amuse my heart.
Made my mind so full about you.
I remember when I spent my day for a task with my friends, I having fun with them, and play with rain when we trapped under the bridge.
I remember when I spent my day for a task again, I went to my house friend to ask for help until 01.30 am. It's so cool but I don't wanna to re-do.
I remember when I had an exam but that is wrong question so I repeat again. Iam so embarrased. And maybe it was that make me had stomach ache until my face was so pale.
I remember when I keep fight with my old-brother. Then he nip my hand until to bleed.
I remember when my young-brother had been say, “naik bis, bapak, ibu, kaka”. He made us laughing and he is so so annoy. He had been follow whatever our do and say. So be careful to give him example.
I remember my old-brother was birthday at 15. He wasn’t ask anything, just a burger. Wish you sholeh and be a kind and success man.
Then my belovely father birthday too at 29. That time he was on Jogja, we were so happy.
We celebrate 3 moments at November 29, it was my father birthday, my father pilgrimage to mecca 3 years ago, n we have been 2 years live in Jombor Kapling Residence.
I remember when my friend story with me. The story was so hard for my friend. I saw it.
Did you know? Actually I can feel about your feeling, cause now I same with you. Same to met the how hard a love.
