Kill Them With Kindness

So I practice it, hey Mbak Dian Pelangi. You say that:

To stop hate, I believe in "kill them with kindness".

And tarra! The hate disappears.

Mbak Diana Rikasari also said:

When people hate you, love them back.

Surely it is hard in the first time. But when we start the love/kindness to the people who hates you, you feel better about yourself. And what others feel, think, and say about you becomes unimportant anymore.

Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.

I choose to be strong people.

Don't let the darkness from your past block the light of joy in your present. What happened is done. Stop giving time to things which no longer exist, when there is so much joy to be found here & now. ~ Karen Salmansohn 

Today, 28

Happy birthday to me!

Today I'm so happy, be grateful for all of Allah has given to me. A loving husband, a cute daughter, a caring family, a settle job, and many other things that priceless: faith, health, friends or simple things like today I have time to write in here :)

I wish I could be a better person: better wife, better mother, better family member, better engineer, better friend. Not easily angry to other person, think and speak positively, patient, mature and reliable. Aamiin.

Special thanks for my mother for delivering me to this world, for teaching me to be independent woman just like you. For my father for giving me love without having an opportunity to return the love for you, for teaching me to do hard work for things that I want in life by listening your life experiences. And last but not least, for my grandmother for loving and caring all of family, for teaching me that mother's love never ends, that to be a woman you can soft and though in same time. Oh how I miss her so much :') This time is the first time she is not around while Ramadhan and Lebaran..

I would like to say also happy Ramadhan!

Enjoy your time with your family :)

Some Tips to Memorize Quran

What is my favorite chatting apps? 

Whatsapp.

Why? 

Because I can join with so many groups about keeping the consistency in doing worship.

What is the example? 

Memorizing Quran.

How?

1. In weekdays, I memorize one new verse per each day. I usually start to memorize the new verse after Shubuh. And then I repeat while I ride my motorcycle from home to the office. I also repeat all of the Surah that I have completed until I arrive.
2. In weekend, I repeat the five verses that I have been memorized in weekdays. For the time, it can be anytime. Not specialized in one time like in weekdays. If I have time like when my daughter has not woken up from sleep, or when sitting in car, or when I just have a free mind :) There is the research that states the best time to memorize Quran is after Shubuh and Maghrib time.
3. In the end of the week, via voice record I report the five verses to group. The advantage of joining this Whatsapp group is there is two admin group who will correct the recitation (like tajwid, mad, etc.). So beside memorizing, I also learn again tajwid and tahsin.

What Surah do I start from?

Juz 30, from An-Naba to An-Naas.

Do you interest to join?

I hope :)

Thoughts

I see so many people, in social media. With their status, photos, videos, moments.. I've been there too. Posting everything about what happened in my life every single day. But it's not so much pleasure anymore doing that. Since some negative things happened because of it, not all but some. Some people also put their updates so much so they can show off what they have. But you know, all the updates is not 100% real. It just capture the good side. If you know what's behind, then you realize. It's just a mask.

But who am I judging people? I just think, I only want to still update with this blog, other social media that I have is only supporting the blog. Why? Because only person who really wants to know, who will put the blog address in their browser.

I wish I can have much time writing regularly. Like tonight. My daughter is sleep earlier than usual. And I have some time to spill my thoughts.. Do more what makes me happy.
