Like Mother, Like Daughter

Most people say that my face is like my mother’s face. I bequeath her physical characteristic almost for all. And i bequeath not only physical characteristic, but also the personal characteristic. The personal characteristic is the fussiness, perfectionist, and etc. And i inherit her hobbies too. She loves flower, and so do i. She loves music, and so do i. She loves shopping, and so do i. She loves singing, and so do i. My mom’s voice is so great. Wonderful. Honestly my musical talent, is coming from my mom. She used to “force” me for entering the piano class. Lets take a look our picture. Me and My mom. Is my face like my mom?

mom

me

Talking about my mom, not rarely we have different arguments. But through it all, i love her so much. Since i was kid, she always did educated me firmly. She had never let me watched the television on the schoolweek. Because i had to study every night. She just permitted me to watch tv or play on sunday and holiday. She used to check my books. She took me to many courses. English, piano, singing, math, chemistry courses. She would be angry if i got bad scores. But she would reward me if i got good scores. Since i was child she made me got used to Sholat 5 times a day and read Al-Qur’an every night. If i didn’t do sholat, she would punish me. She made me got used to brush teeth at least twice a day especially before i slept. And finally the result is i am getting used to all the things she taught me. I’m getting used to to be dicipline.

Oh mom, i always miss  her when i’m far away from her. Mom whose her hug is the best escape from a billion problems, mom whom i always talk from heart to heart, mom whose her pray is all that i need & whose her pray always accompanies me wherever whenever, mom who knows me the most, mom whom i argued with, mom who is everything for me. Love you mom.

The Reason why i wear Jilbab

Almost 2 years, i have worn jilbab. The first time i wore jilbab was on 31st March 2008. At that time, when i first wore jilbab, everybody was surprised. Especially my classmates. Because i wore my first jilbab when i had an Artificial Intelligence’s Class at 7 am. I was late at that time. Then i entered the class with my new look. My lecturer and my classmates were surprised. Why?it’s because of my intensive care to my hair. I have a long black thick straight beautiful hair. I used to go to salon twice a month for taking care my hair. Creambath, hair spa, hair mask, hair cut, and hair do. But i have never colored my hair, and straighten my hair. Because i don’t wanna make a damage on my hair. I love my hair for what it is. And before i wore jilbab, i used to wear hot pants, tank top, dress, sexy gown, mini skirt. Oh la la, that’s no wonder why everybody was surprised when i wore jilbab. Even one of my friend said to me when i first wore jilbab, “yah,, oci.. koq lo tutup siy rambut lo. Kan gw ga bisa liat rambut lo yg bagus itu” then i replied him, “emang rambut gw buat lo apa?wkwkwk” hehehe

Actually a year before i wore jilbab, i thirsted for wearing jilbab. But i confused. Until more than 3 successive nights i dreamt about wearing jilbab. And i was hearing a sound that told me that all muslimah have to wear jilbab. Initially i ignored it. Then at the night i dreamt about it again and again. After that i felt no, it’s not an ordinary dream. But i thought it’s a sign. It’s a sign that i got “hidayah“. Then on the morning, i took my jilbab from cupboard, and i wore it.

I know and i realize that wearing jilbab is not easy. It’s hard and difficult. I myself have proved it hard and so difficult. When the first wore jilbab, i had no problem. But then i had so many temptations. The temptations did made me wonder, tantalized, and bothered me. I was shaky, and unstable. But alhamdulillah i could overcome it.

After wearing jilbab, it seriously that Allah always makes my life easier. Started when i did my final assignment, and i could easily graduate from college faster than it should be, than i have my great job now, and it happens to my other personal life. Allah always helps me, and makes everything easier for me. Besides that, i feel more comfortable now, and i can feel the tranquility.

So, don’t be afraid for wearing jilbab. Believe it, you will not be worse with your jilbab. Even you will be more beautiful inside and outside. Besides that it’s useful for our health. I hope i can keep being istiqomah and keep the hidayah. Aamiin;)

Swinging with Maliq&d’essential

I do love maliq with all their songs. No exception. Why? The First and the most important reason is  because all Maliq’s songs always revere woman. Nothing humiliates woman. The Second reason, maliq’s music is great. They have high musicality. Their music is exclusive and high class, not such a low class at all. And the third reason is all their songs are so romantic, both music and lyric.

I’ve never liked or listened to the low class music which everyone likes, like almost Indonesian bands play now. I love high class music with a high musicality. Because music for me is so meaningful. Music for me is for being enjoyed, for calming me down, and for being inspiration. That’s why i do love jazz and britpop music. And one thing, I love rare music. And people often don’t know what music i do listen. Like The submarines, The Boy least likely to, Camera obscura, Olivia, Mew, Earth Wind and Fire, Babyface, KOC, Incognito, only few people know them.

Back to Maliq, you know what, when i was a broadcaster, i’d never forgot playing their songs. Especially their song titled Itu Adanya. I always played it on my broadcasting. I love it so much. Even one day my producer asked me why did i always replay it always always and always when broadcasting? and I just said simple, i love it much. And it’s so good enough. hahaha

Listening and enjoying their songs make me swing and sing with them. Ahaa, have you ever listened their song titled Pilihanku? Just two words i can say, simple but so romantic. Suitable song for purposing someone you love ya.. hehe.. Keep on singing Maliq, and i keep swinging with you
