When you know the real meaning of Christmas, you will not need Christmas gifts.

Feliz Navidad

11:10 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
No hay nieve, pero esta es Navidad.
No hay Papá Noel, pero esta es Navidad.
No hay los regalos, pero esta es Navidad.
No hay nueva ropa y mucha comida, pero esta es Navidad.

Feliz Navidad!

Since when I can't see green color on the earth?
The color of the mountains turn into red,
There's no green trees anymore.
There's no blue oceans, but brown!
The sky turns into pitch black.
Where's the sun ?
Where's the moon?
Even there's no star on the sky...
I said to myself that this is not the end.
I convince myself that there's still hope.
I believe that God still has mercy on us.

12:13 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
Someday you will look for the sun,
Because it won't shine upon you anymore.
Someday you will cry,
Because the moon and the stars disappear from the sky.
Someday the oceans will stand against you,
Someday the mother of nature will get angry to you.
You can't ask God's help,
Because God already fed up with you.
'Burn, burn in hell!' sang the angels.

There are 3 types of people in this world when they do their "life exam":
1. People who really don't know the answer of the exam because of lack of knowledge.

2. People who know the correct answer, but they don't choose it. Instead, they choose another answer which is totally wrong.

3. People who knows the correct answer and choose it.

I don't know you...

10:18 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
I'm trapped between two world
The dream and the reality

Sometimes I don't want to wake up from my dream
Because only in dream I can hold your hands,
Laugh together with you,
And walking down the street with you
If only I can live my dream...

The reality is too cruel for me
I call your name, and I shout to call you,
But you never answer me
Do you even realize when I stand close to you?
Can't you see me?

Your warm smile and your sweet scent,
I remember them from my dream.
Your bright eyes and your pretty words,
I also remember them from my dream.

I don't know something real about you.
I only know you from my dream.
That you are a good and warm person.
What kind of person are you in the reality?

That time when you took my heart away from me,
That time when you destroyed all my sweet dreams,
That time when you poisoned my fantasies,
That time when you broke all the good memories,
That time when you crushed my hopes,
That time when you stepped on  my belief,
That was the time when you stopped my time....

First, I never thought about dream.
Second, I knew that there's dream but I didn't believe it.
Third, I tried to believe in dream and I did it.
Fourth, I have dreams.
Fifth, I realize that there's a dream that stays as dream.
Sixth, I whisper to myself that it's okay, I can create another new dream!

Everything Has Its End

10:31 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
There's always end of everything
Why do you have to cry?

The day will end
The sun will set
The light will turn into dark

The night will come
The stars will decorate the sky
Darkness will take over the light

Everything in this world should end

Human, animal, and plantation
Everything has to die
So that new human can be born
New animal can be created
New plantation can grow

Something die but some things are created

No eternity in this world
Because the world was created to be destroyed

The Same Blood

10:20 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
You can leave your family
You can abandon your family
You can kill your family
 But you can't deny that you share the same blood with them.

We Are Different BUT The Same

11:02 PM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
I don't really know how to say you name.
I can't speak your language.

We have different color of eyes.
And the color of our skin? They are totally different!

We are from different part of this world.
I don't even know the location of your country on the map!

But still,

We can be friends.
We can communicate in our own ways.

We use our eyes to see.
We have the same color of blood.

The best thing is we are the same,
Although we are different.

Survivor

3:01 PM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
I'm the survivor,
I admit my weakness.

I'm the survivor,
I turn my weakness into strength.

I'm the survivor,
I accept everything and move on.

I'm the survivor,
I walk side by side with my nightmare.

I'm the survivor....

You can sell salvation.

WALK

3:38 PM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
I had a dream.
I didn't know whether it was a sweet dream or nightmare.

It was a clod night...

I walked down on an unfamiliar road.
I had never been here before.
People were ignoring me.
It was like I was invisible.

After I walked for about 3 minutes,
I stopped in front of a family restaurant.
I saw a family was having their dinner.
Parents and their two children.
I guess the boy was around 17,
And the girl was around 15.
I wasn't really sure though...
But they looked happy together.
Suddenly I missed my family,
The funny thing was I didn't remember my family.
My father and mother, did I even have sibling?
Who was my family?

I decided to walk again.
There was a homeless man with his dog.
He brought an old guitar and sing an unfamiliar song.
It became colder suddenly.
Oh! It was snowing!
The homeless man still sang.
His dog accompanied him.
I tried to reach into the deepest of my pocket,
to find one or two dollar.
But there was nothing in my pocket.
So, I only saw several people passed by and dropped money into his guitar case.
Then I walked again....

This time I saw two teenagers.
They looked.....very drunk.
I didn't know what they had eaten or drank.
They just sit in front of a small 24 hours shop.
In this snowing night, they cuddled each other.
Maybe they were lover...
I didn't know though....

Not far from that place,
I saw a crowd.
There were people singing romantic song.
In the middle of the crowd,
There was a man and a woman.
Oh, the man proposed to the woman!
And she accepted it!
That man must be really happy.
I could feel that I smiled at that time.
I felt warm looking people happy.

It was really cold.
The snow...It was getting colder.
I walked again and I didn't feel tired.
I felt cold, but not tired.
Maybe in the real realm, I was shivering on my bed.

Now the road went up.
Should I walk farther?
But if I stopped, I would freeze!
Besides, I didn't remember a place that I called home.
I didn't even know my name.....

I kept walking...
I was really tired.
Suddenly, there was a man walking next to me.
He smiled at me.
But his face...I couldn't remember his face.
But I was sure he smiled at me.
Then he held my hand.
It was so weird, but I felt secure.
"Want me to piggy back you?" he asked suddenly.
I shook my head.
"I know you are tired, let me carry you."
I shook my head harder.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong. I won't let you fall."
I stopped and looked at him.
I couldn't see his face, and I didn't recognize him.
But I let him to carry me.
"See? You are not heavy at all."
After said that, he continued walking.
He sang a song that I didn't know.
But his voice was really good.
He could sing very well.
I didn't know him, I didn't know where we would go,
I didn't know the road, and I didn't know anything, even myself.
But I didn't mind being carried by him...
Then slowly, I fell a sleep on his back because of his lullaby....

Forgiving Means Love

8:24 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
Forgiving is love.
If you love someone,
You have to forgive that person,
No matter how many times that person breaks your heart.

Forgiving is the only thing you teach me,
You teach me to forgive someone means you love that person.
That's love that you teach me.
That's the only love that I know.

So, what if there's someone who never break my heart?
Someone who always makes me laugh.
Someone who always keeps his promises.
Someone who never hurt me.
How should I show my love to him?
You don't teach me other thing than forgiving.
Should I forgive him because he loves, cares, and treasures me?
What should I do?
I don't know how to love people other than forgiving.

I blamed you? No, I didn't.
At least you teach me how to love someone.
Forgiving is also love.
Forgiving.....

The days will end.

Gold will rust.
Knowledge will age.

Star

11:50 PM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
A star is a star.
Although it's falling or has faint light,
You still call it a falling star.

A star is a star.
You can't compare it with the sun.
It wasn't born to be the center of the universe.
But it has its own light.

A star is a star.
People always adore it.
It's not the prettiest thing on the night sky.
But people always want to be a star.

A star is just simply a star.

Our love story....

10:51 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
Our love story is not the simple one.
It can't be told by simple words.
It might not as beautiful as fairy tale.
But it has a happy ending.

Our love story is not sweet like honey.
It's not pure like water.
It's not perfect like nature.
But it's always fresh and lively.

Our love story is like the road.
Sometimes there's a bent,
and sometimes it goes up and down.
It's not always smooth.
But it has destination.

Our love story can't be described merely by my words.
It can't be compared with anything.
It's not easy to put it into words...

The Last Petal

12:35 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
My time will not stop.
But I haven't met you yet.
The witch told me I have to find you
Before the last petal drops.
Or else, I will be the beast forever.
But nothing I can do.
I don't expect you or someone else to come.
It's too late.
The last petal already dropped along time ago.
I'm forever the beast now.
Although you find me and love me,
I will not change into a beautiful princess.
I am the beast.
I lock myself in my castle.
I will not let anyone in.
I'll live in my own prison, alone.
I am the beast.

Soundless Words

6:44 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
God sealed my mouth and ears since the first day I opened my eyes.
He doesn't let me say my heart's voice,
or He doesn't want me to contaminate my tongue with spiteful words?
He doesn't let me hear people's voice,
or He doesn't want me to be hurt by despicable words?
Is this what you call injustice?
Or is it the way God protect me from this evil world?

If a mouth is sharper than a knife,
Seal it! I don't want to hurt anyone!
If ears can bring sorrow and pain,
Shut them! I don't want to hear hurtful things!
If mouth and ears can bring me to the pit of hell,
Then I don't need them!
I will remain silent.
These soundless words only You can hear.

Favorite Quotations from "The Kite Runner"

9:07 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
"That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out." (pg. 1)

""When you kill a man, you steal a life," Baba said. "You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see?"" (pg. 18)

"...Because history isn't easy to overcome. Neither is religion." (pg. 25)

"..."But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie."" (pg. 58)

Quotations from "Superior"

12:00 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
Do you think everyone in this world is so kind- hearted like you? Look at their reaction...They don't care about others. The loss is always shifted on to the meek. That's the norm. (Chap. 2, pg. 15)

Why can't you do whatever you want, and say whatever you wish, no matter what others say? It's not a problem if it is right or wrong. You just beat the ones who say otherwise. That's how I gained control of the entire world. (Chap. 2, pg. 19)

Lives lost will never return. The more precious they are, the more pain you will feel. (Chap. 3, pg. 41)

But sweet dreams never come true in reality. Don't dream a dream you know won't come true. (Chap. 3, pg. 54)

Wish

4:43 PM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
I want to be tall,
Tall enough to hang my dreams above the sky.

I want to have a broad shoulder,
Broad enough to bear my family's burden.

I want to be a smart person,
Smart enough to make the right decisions for my family.

I want to have big palms,
Big enough to cover my family's hands when we pray together.

I want to be good,
Good enough to make my family proud of me.

Liar's Gonna Lie

8:21 PM Posted by Rut Arsari
When you copy someone's work, it means that you acknowledge his/ her skill.
If you claim the work as yours, it means you tell the world that you are the loser who will never win against that person.
If you think by copying his/ her work you can sit on the same chair as him/ her, it means that you are delusional.
To create a masterpiece, someone has to go through hardships, obstacles, and sleepless nights. Don't take someone's work too lightly and make it as a joke. You don't know the story behind that work. If you want to explain it to the world that the work is yours, then you have to lie. Once you start lying, you will not be able to stop. In the end, LIAR'S GONNA LIE.

Don't expect me to see what most people see.
Don't expect me to feel what most people feel.
Don't expect me to think what most people think.
Don't expect me to behave like most people do.
Don't expect me to live my life like most people do.
Don't expect me to do what most people would do.
I'm not most people.

I know that I will meet you.
No matter who you are and where you are, we will meet someday...

When that time comes, maybe I'll ignore you..
Maybe I'll push you away..
Maybe I'll try to hurt you...
Maybe I'll say that I hate you....
Maybe I'll say that I don't need you...
Maybe I'll say that I'm not good enough for you..
And I'll find many reasons to reject you....

But, please....Bear this in mind....
Stick to me like a gum though I ignore you.
Pull me closer to you though I push you away.
Don't leave me behind though I'll hurt you.
Say that you love me though I say I hate you.
Say that you need me though I say I don't need you.
Say that I'm the best for you though I say I'm not good enough for you.
Convince me that we were made for each other though I reject you for hundred or thousand times.

Because I'm afraid.....
I'm afraid of getting hurt.
I'm afraid if it's not you.
I'm afraid that you don't love me sincerely.
I'm afraid you'll run away if you see my dark side.

And I'm afraid of myself...
I'm afraid that I'll disappoint you.
I'm afraid that I can't love you like you love me.
I'm afraid that I can't trust you.
I'm afraid that we weren't made for each other.
I'm afraid of myself.....

There are people who met their true love when they were young.
But there are people who wait the ones they love to love them back until they get old.

There are people who fall in love easily.
But there are people who hard to fall in love no matter how hard they try.

There are people who throw love.
But there are people who beg for love.

There are people who hate love.
There are people who adore love.

There are people who sacrifice themselves for love.
But there are people underestimate love.

There are people who strong because of love.
But there are people who weak because of love.

There are people who think that love is everything.
But there are people who think that love is nothing.

There are people who will live for love.
But there are people who will die for love.

What is love?
Is it god?
Why is it so powerful?
Why does it have big influence in human's life?
Why people can't live without love?
Why is it so important?
Why there is love?

Like a shadow,
I will follow you,
I will go with you,
I will stick to you,
I will always there for you.

Like a shadow,
You can't touch me,
You can't see me in the dark,
You can't talk to me,
But I will always there for you.

Like a shadow,
I will not leave you.
I will walk with you,
I will run with you,
I will always there for you.

I'm your shadow,
Don't afraid of anything.
I'm your shadow,
You are not alone
I'm your shadow,
I will always there for you.

Let me know if you sad.
Let me know if you happy.
Let me know if you tired.
Let me know if you angry.
Let me know if you fall in love.
Let me know if you have any difficulties.
Let me know anything about you and what you feel.

Remember me,
I will cry with you,
I will laugh with you,
I will give you a piggy back,
I will tell you a funny joke,
I will support you,
I will help you.
I will watch your back.

Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Earth is the beginning and the end.

Tak perlu mengatakan bahwa kamu baik- baik saja ketika kamu sedang tidak baik- baik saja.

Tak perlu mengatakan bahwa kamu pasti bisa, ketika kamu tidak bisa melakukannya.

Tak perlu mengatakan bahwa kamu harus lebih sabar, ketika kamu sudah berada di ambang batas kesabaran.

Tak perlu mengatakan bahwa kamu harus mencobanya, ketika kamu sudah tahu bahwa kamu tak akan berhasil.

Tak perlu mengatakan bahwa kamu cantik, ketika kamu tahu bahwa banyak orang yang lebih cantik darimu.

Tak perlu mengatakan bahwa kamu pandai, ketika kamu tahu banyak orang yang lebih pandai darimu.

Tak perlu mencari- cari alasan. Tak selamanya hidup itu indah. Terima dan syukuri apa yang ada pada diri kita. Dengan itulah kita bisa menjadi orang yang berbahagia. Karena menerima kelemahan lebih sulit dibanding menerima kelebihan. Sometimes, life can be so ugly. Don't look for excuses to make it looks better. Just admit it and face it. If you feel it's too difficult, just close your eyes and pray. God hears every prayer you say. He may not promise that He will make your problem disappear in a second, but He promises to help you go through it. He may not promise that you will walk on a smooth road, but He promises to walk with you till the end. Keep believing although it's hard to believe.

Time.....

11:15 AM Posted by Rut Arsari No comments
Time will not wait for you.
Time will not slow down.
Time will not turn backward.
Time will always run.

Time can become a strong proof.
Time can become a witness.
Time can become a history.

You can't defeat time.
You can't kill time.

Time will last forever.
