Tell the truth

Rutinitas harian begitu menyita banyak waktu dan tak terasa sudah lebih dari tujuh tahun wahana latihan menulis ini tidak tersentuh. Tahun sudah berganti dan salah satu harapan saya menjadikan rutinitas menulis bangkit kembali mengisi hari-hari. Sebenarnya banyak sekali ide, konsep, angan, asa (apapun itu kau sebut) dalam pikiran yang bisa ditumpahkan dalam tulisan, tapi apa daya, rutinitas membaca buku juga sangat berkurang menjadikan otak ini tumpul untuk mencurahkan unak unek menjadi bacaan. Ingin rasaya menanggapi berbagai viralita-realita baik di medsos maupun di sekitar kita yang ingin saya tanggapi dalam bentuk tulisan yang enak dan layak untuk dibaca (minimal untuk diri sendiri) dan syukur" dapat menjadi penghibur untuk khalayak. Maka tahun ini, di tahun kelinci air (biar hoki) sebagai bagian dari salah satu resolusi tahun baru yang tidak pernah tertulis. Saya mencoba untuk kembali berkomitmen untuk yang kesekian kalinya menulis, mohon doa dan dukungannya.  Sedikit bocoran...

21 Ramadhan ingat yang ini ingat kenikmatan ramadhan Apa yang sudah kalian dapat selama melaksanakan puasa ramadhan sampai hari ini? Berat badan berkurang, sukses diet, jadi hemat uang atau sebaliknya atau bahkan lebih dari itu…, apa pernah kalian merasakan kedamaian jiwa, hati dan pikiran ketika menjalankan puasa dibulan ramadhan atau bahkan jadi tambah galau??? atau dari sisi spiritual tambah tekun menjalankan ibadah??? Pertanyaaan itu begitu saja muncul dipikiran saya malam ini… Ramadhan tahun sudah mendekati ahir… apa yang sudah saya dapat??? APA??? sering kali saya dengar tausyiah sore mnjelang berbuka puasa di tipi bahwa puasa pada bulan ramadhan itu dibagi menjadi 3 bagian, iya g? kalo g salah ini nih bagian2nya (sambil nanya-nanya simbah kakung gugel) ; sepuluh hari pertama adalah rahmat, sepuluh hari kedua adalah maghfiroh (pengampunan), dan sepuluh hari terahir adalah itqun minan nar (artinya: dibebaskan dari surga) bahkan banyak para ulama meyaki...

Kecewa sich memang...., tapi mau bagaimana lgi apa kita harus kecewa berlarut meratapi nasib yang tak berkunjung menjadi baik atau mungkin emang ini yang terbaik bagi kita (walaupun mumgkin kita belum menyadarinya), tapi kita sebagai manusia yang tidak sempurna dan masih banyak kekurangan walaupun di Al-Quran dijelaskan bahwa manusia adalah sebaik-baiknya mahluk tapi tidaklah ada didunia ini sesuatu yang sempurna selain Alloh SWT, kecewa adalah sebuah karunia dan rasa yang alhamdulilah masih diberikan tuhan Alloh SWT kepada kita sebagai tanda bahwa kita masih memiliki hati, dan supaya kita bisa lebih mendekatkan diri kepada-Nya , supaya kita intropeksi diri, supaya kita bisa lebih menghargai diri kita, supaya kita lebih mengenal diri kita, karena mungkin itu yang terbaek untuk saat ini bagi kita. Kecewa wajarlah asal jangan dibarengi dengan dendam dan nafsu yang tidak berguna untuk kesehatan jasmani maupun kesehatan rohani kita, bahkan itu bisa mencemari, menodai, melu...

PlayStation Network touts 20 million users, Home hits 4 million Sony claims new milestone for combined PS3, PSP online service, with 15 million users added in the last year; popularity of still-in-beta virtual world grows. Despite gloomy holiday sales and being outsold by both the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii , Sony's PlayStation brand has one spot of brightness: the PlayStation Network continues to grow. Last year, Sony proudly proclaimed that the PSN had more than 14 million active accounts, matching that of the Xbox 360. Strong sales of the 360, thanks in part to its new Xbox experience and low-price hardware , have helped push Xbox Live past Sony with 17 Million active users as of January 2009, just over half of which are premium Gold subscriptions that allow online play. Today Sony has announced that it has now surpassed Xbox Live with 20 million subscribers for its free-to-use service. The subscriber base represents explosive growth for Sony, given that the servi...

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Review Extraordinary online play makes it easy to overlook this strategy sequel's less-impressive single-player campaign. Kevin VanOrd feeds his ripper swarm in this video review for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. The Good Fun, exciting online play will keep you under its spell Fantastic production values The loot collecting is fun and addictive Co-op play lets a buddy join your campaign in progress. The Bad Campaign doesn't feature much strategy Few multiplayer maps Only 1 vs 1 and 3 vs 3 matches. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is a fun and fascinating game with a bit of an identity crisis. In one corner you have an explosively intense multiplayer real-time strategy experience, brimming with savagely satisfying competition. In the other, you have an odd and somewhat enjoyable single-player campaign that plays more like an action role-playin...

Streaming Video on Console The PlayStation 3 comes with a Blu-ray player, a Web browser, a music player, a photo viewer, and plenty of other features that remind us that it's no mere PlayStation 2. The Xbox 360, sans Blu-ray and Web browsing, has fewer multimedia options, but players seem to get by with Netflix streaming and Xbox Live online features. However, for all their robustness, the consoles are rather unrefined when it comes to video support. The Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 have their quirks when it comes to playing various video codecs and container files. Both consoles can play videos, but not all video files are compatible out of the box. Videos that play easily on the PC or Mac go unsupported on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's also not as easy to find, download, and install a codec on the console as it is on the PC. New codecs might come bundled with new firmware updates or as downloadable content, but they don't come often enough to count as reliable ...
