MARHABAN YA RAMADHAN

These are the words that always been said by the Moslem to welcome the month of fasting, the month of Ramadhan. It is the month when people must do a fast and hold back all the negative attitudes in their lives. A few days before the Ramadhan come, the Moslem people usually do some rituals, like visiting their relatives’ graves to pray for them, or asking forgiveness to others so they can enter the Ramadhan with a new and clean heart. For me there are a lot of good messages that we also can learn from the Ramadhan. And I think we should apply them on our every day’s lives. The fast, we can learn on how to control our body and not being controlled. The rituals, here we are being reminded that we should respect our families because family is the place where we spend our lives and to learn on giving love. The forgiveness, no matter what we always have to set a room for forgiveness in our hearts. Remember 77x7. The prayers, I myself learn that calling His name is always make Him happy, anytime, anywhere, because He’s in love with you and me.

Happy Ramadhan…

FINALLY

Stupid question: “Have you ever been in love?”
Me? For the last 31 years of my life I never knew of the feeling of being in love. Hehe, sounds like a crazy & stupid lie huh? Well, that was what really happened. This morning I finally knew, actually maybe the right word is understood, of that feeling. I found it funny that it’s true that we’re gonna be the stupidest person when we’re in love. All those things that have been said by the people whom are in love are true. I have become the most ridiculous person in this world, on my own world actually hehe… like yesterday, I was desperately and badly missed my love so much so it made me think to jump on my car and drive all the way long just to see that person’s face. And I did. Gosh, I’m insane. I used to be so lazy to drive. Another craziness; is that I want to make my loved one happy, as if I want to buy the world just to make my love happy. I don’t want my love to be sick, hurt, feel sad, mad, bad, etc, etc… I want to be near my love all the time; I want to hear my loved one’s laughter, giggles, see the wrinkles on the eye’s corner when my love is laughing. I want to hug, to hold, to walk together forever and ever. And spend the rest of my life with my loved one. And what makes me happy most is especially I wanted to hear my love saying: I love you too, Kees. And after that I will hug my love so close until the warm of our love hold us closer and make the time stop.
Today I thank God for giving me all of these whole new experiences. Why? Because again I finally knew the way He feels about me! He is so deeply in love in me and His love for me made Him died. I used to think that yeah I know that He died for me; I used to say I love You Lord with all my heart, and bla bla bla… but actually I never meant it. And now, I finally understand. And I don’t think I have reached that kind of loving.
I guess I’m in love with You too, Lord…
