LAST AUTUMN in MANHATTAN..

2011-09-04T05:33:00.000-07:00

This book is a gift frm my friend, my sister, my senior n etc which is the writter of the book itself.. she is livin with her lil family (husband n cute daughter) in Michigan, Detroit. i admire her so much!!!
this novel definitely tempting, im done reading it in couple hours..
hehehehe.. the tittle is Musim Gugur Terakhir di Manhattan a.k.a Last Autumn in Manhattan

There are 3 core characters on this story..
1st. they call her "Rosie", she has strong beautiful independent Indonesian muslimah character who lives in western world. But still she holds on her eastern culture even Rosie has livin for years in USA. she has something that always haunted her from the past, curious? ^,^

2nd one is Anthony, Rosie used to call him Tony.. he has strong mind, straight, modern workaholic young businessman. His character shows that he's got a temper n eager to fulfill everything he wants to reach, no wonder he became a succesfully businessman at his young age. since he was an italian hot dude.. my imagination flying thru the window try to capture every single detail from italian football player, hahahahaa.. (i know it silly though)

3rd. another interesting character wud be Marco, he is a younger brother of Anthony.. i saw his character is unique, like u taste something.. u cant even describe in words to explain how does it taste ^^, me neither.. if u ask me abt Marco, i will answer : "taste it by urself" hehehehehe.. Marco plays "mysterious" role at this story ;)

the location and time settings were set in nowadays (modern) place in New York, Manhattan (USA) and INDONESIA ofcourse..

the plot itself is not really confusing, just flow as u start read the book... every single chapter u have read make u more interest n curious hows the end will be, hohohohooo.. (gud work sis!!!)

the author itself put lots of spice of life here, start from common ordinary life, love, until something more principal like faith.. religion even, without judging with her perspective..

Mmm, what next?!?
i even speechless when im talking abt this book,
its just fit for a muslimah who lives in modern time and area...
well, if u really wanna know?
u better grab n buy this book then tell me wht u think guys

my rate : 3 stars frm 5 stars, i believe u can wrote something more awesome than just this sis... can wait for another book of urs!!! ^,^

ps : too bad its not available yet in english n_n
hope it will be soon!!!! yayyy...
(Sshhh, she is one of some ppl who encourage me about writing)

Hadith #1

2011-08-19T00:01:00.000-07:00

Sometimes Allaah tests His slaves with calamities in order to raise them in status and to expiate for their sins, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No misfortune or disease befalls a Muslim, no worry or grief or harm or distress – not even a thorn that pricks him – but Allaah will expiate for some of his sins because of that.”

(Agreed upon. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5641)

Bad things happend 4 a Reason..

2011-08-14T00:39:00.000-07:00

Regreting is pointless..
if u think ure not doing much yet
or
if u think u have done huge mistake
dont be..!!!
coz God (Allah swt) knows what best for us

regreting wont solve ur problem guys
indeed its just gonna make u feel worse
or even blaming urself..
just stand up and MOVE ON!!!
try to not repeat ur mistake again
or at least minimalized the same mistake happend again
thts the point of learning a lesson,,

well, crying is NOT FORBIDDEN
but then please think about it..
TIME is running
u have to move on or else time will left u behind

if u still feeling worse,
miserable or horrible...
look down,, there's a bunch of unlucky people like u
then u will realized n being grateful
that ur "u think ur life worse" is much way better than u have thought before

THINK..

Best thing I never had..

2011-08-11T02:32:00.000-07:00

I say what goes around comes back around
What goes around comes back around...
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong

Boy I, must've been outta my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost LOVED you
You showed your a** and I saw the real you

Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out

I was wanted you bad.. I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be..

"THE BEST THING I NEVER HAD"

You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'm gonna always be the best thing you never had
I bet it sucks to be you right now

So sad, you're hurt
Boo hoo..
Ooh, did you expect me to care?
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there..

Music by Beyoncé performing Best Thing I Never Had

No Backbiting!!!

Skinny Love

2011-08-03T20:29:00.000-07:00

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here..
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
Right in the moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind

Come on skinny love, what happened here?

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

its always final answer and never change
but then, i realize something...

"EVERYBODY'S CHANGING"

so i am..
just as my friend's (Erin Rena) said..
"pain brings perspective, and time brings understanding"

PASTAGIO.. Another pasta culinary ^^

2011-07-24T22:24:00.000-07:00

Still in Jogjakarta..
its always something new we can found in Jogja
i see this town just like Bandung
a place for young people belongs to, hehehe..
desire always for something new new new

me and friend were confused where we're going to eat for our dinner
then finally, i decided.. i want PASTA!!! show me a gud place to eat pasta yaa..
rite away she just drove me to PASTAGIO...
at 1st i was curious, where we're goin to???
we're comin from block to block.. and i didnt see any crowd place in common
and waalaahhh, in a couple minutes we're already in PastaGio

just a simple place, out of range to called a restaurant hehehehe..
very very simple place just to hang out, eat (definitely) and enjoy the place
nothing special about the place at all (for me)
But, i wonder why too many people come here just to eat pasta?!?

soon, as i grab menu.. pointed to "Lasagna Verde" and Oreo Blend
it didnt take a long time, lasagna verde and orea blend already served in front of me OMG... im engaged with Lasagna, delicioso!!! yummy...
the price is worth enuff with taste and quantity itself, i give 8 for the score ^^
now i know why they come over, lookin' for a plate of PASTAGIO..

wait up!!! im not finish yet guys...
can u see how tempting that chocolate cake.. (up there!!)
my friend said this is recommended, definitely we shud order it.. >,<
YET, not dissapointed at all.. FYI, especially for chocolate maniac
no worries.. u will love it guys
since im not chocolate maniac, i cant eat too much of chocolate...

so, have guts to come over n taste it guys..
ill show where u can find it.. grab it fast..!!! hehehe...
follow their twitter : @pastagiowarung

The Communities

2011-07-24T21:43:00.000-07:00

Last weekend i went to Jogjakarta..
visiting my old friend (high school mate)
lots of memories over there
flash back for a slight each time i passed places
Malioboro.. Mirota..

Sunday morning, i spend a while in Hijabers Community Yogya
this community has been growing up n bigger..
Jenahara, The President of The Community itself eagerly wants to expand the community not only in Indonesia but out of Indonesia too (proud to indo muslimah)
for me its unique.. finally i found a place where i shud be belongs to
another sisterhood to explore n share together

at 10am start with reciting The Holy Quran,
then Ust. Eddy giving us some lesson about welcoming our Great Ramadhan
masyaAllah he is a gud speaker, we have so much fun n lesson from him
rite away after that, around 11.30am
we're continue our discussion n sharing with Mrs. Carla Jones (Ph.D. 2001, U.N.C. Chapel Hill) from University of Colorado at Boulder
she is an anthropoligist, she has doing lots of research in Indonesia
she was born in Hongkong, her family raise her well in Philipines..
So, no wonder she becomes familiar about asia

at this moment she is doing Research about Muslimah and Fashion
she told me that western poeple (in commonly) had thought that being muslimah, wearing hijab n maxi dress to cover our aurats is completely curb the women itself yet to be stylish n fashionable..

Well, we can see now muslimah are become modern than before..
fashion is just cant be separeted from woman..
its a call from the bottom of deep down inside woman's insting ^^, (trust me)
this is quite interesting too for me..
i could never define indo muslimah typical about how the wrap the hijab, clothes or shoes.. for me Indo muslimah are very consumptive people n easy to follow any kind of trend setter ^^, (sometimes i did it too, hehehehe)
but all i know, they were very pretty n very characteristic..
confident personally.. beautiful in and outside..
