Beautiful Quotes

A Pray for Lover's

Ya Allah..

Seandainya telah Kau catatkan..

Dia milikku, tercipta untukku..

Satukanlah hatinya dengan hatiku..

Titipkanlah kebahagiaan antara kami..

Agar kemesraan itu abadi..

Ya Allah..

Ya Tuhanku yang maha mengasihi

Seiringkanlah kami melayari hidup ini..

Ketepian yang sejahtera  dan abadi..

Maka jodohkanlah kami..

Tetapi Ya Allah..

Seandainya telah Engkau takdirkan..

Dia bukan milikku..

Bawalah dia jauh dari pandanganku..

Luputkanlah dia dari ingatanku..

Dan peliharalah aku dari kekecewaan..

Ya Allah.. 

Ya Tuhanku yang Maha Mengerti

Berikanlah aku kekuatan..

Menolak bayangannya jauh kedada langit..

Hilang bersama senja yang merah..

Agar aku senantiasa tenang..

Walaupun tanpa bersama dengannya..

Ya Allah yang tercinta..

Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Mengetahui..

Segala yang terbaik buat hambaMu ini..

Sesungguhnya apa yang Engkau takdirkan

Adalah yang terbaik untukku..

Pasrahkanlah aku pada takdirMu..

Ya Allah..

Cukuplah Engkau saja yang menjadi pemeliharaku

Di dunia dan di akhirat

Dengarlah rintihan dari hambaMu yang naïf ini..

Janganlah Engkau biarkan aku sendirian..

Di dunia ini maupun di akhirat..

Menjuruskanku kea rah kemaksiatan dan kemungkaran.

Maka karuniakanlah aku pasangan yang beriman..

Agar aku dan dia sama-sama dapat membina kesejahteraan hidup

Ke jalan yang Engkau ridhoi..

Dan karuniakanlah padaku keturunan yang soleh Dan solehah..

Ya Allah..

Berilah kami kebahagiaan didunia dan di akhirat..

Dan peliharalah kami dari azab api neraka..

A Kiss and Hugs From You..

It's Rainy Days..

I love it when it comes to rain..although not all people like it, specially if they always faced with flood problems.  But for me rainy days feels mellow.  Specially when it falls in the night, the sound of it feels relaxing and bring peacefulness.  It is easy to feel sleepy when the rain falls.  So today i have a chance to capture it with my camera. 

Wahai Wanita yang Berkedudukan Tinggi

Betapa banyak hal yang engkau harus menghindarinya, lalu membuahkan sesuatu yang engkau mengharapkannya.

Wahai wanita muslimah yang jujur, patuh dan taat, jadilah engkau seperti pohon kurma; sulit dijangkau oleh tangan-tangan jahil dan bahaya, setiap kali dilempar justru membalas dengan buahnya, daunnya selalu hijau di musim panas maupun dimusim dingin, dan pohon yang banyak sekali manfaatnya.

Jadilah engkau orang yang tinggi martabatnya, agar engkau tak tersentuh oleh hal-hal yang tak berguna dan selalu terpelihara dari segala perkara yang memalukan.  Hendaklah perkataanmu adalah zikir, pandangan matamu adalah pelajaran, dan diammu adalah berpikir.  Dengan semua itu, engkau akan selalu mendapatkan kebahagiaan dan kesejahteraan, engkau akan selalu diterima dimanapun berada, pujian dan doa yang tulus dari semua mahluk pun akan selalu mengalir untukmu.

Stress Reliever The Cheapest Way

I have my own choices to relief the tensions in daily life..everyone has their own solutions to deal with stressful day.  The popular way we known it as "The Spa" or meditation.  But for a women like me, I prefer the cheapest way to charge  my spirits.  Here are some of them..

1. Enhale fresh morning air and standing in the warmth of the sun for ten until twenty minutes.  Too much staying inside the house can cause you lack of fresh oxygen.  Your blood circulations needs the sun energy to warm the muscle through your whole body, it will makes you feel more relax and energized.
2. Drink a warm tea with two spoons of cream every morning.  It is also help me to go through a day.  It is also good to ease headached.
3. Reading the Holy Quran, or zikir and praying.  I can feel the benefits of wudhu or to wash and clean our face, nose and mouth with fresh water, I feel more calmer, and fresh.
4. Hot shower..feeling the hot showering the backs can ease the tensions in muscle.
5. Gardening.  To make an interaction with plants will make you feel a sense of love, soften your feelings, and satisfying.
6. Shopping window.  When I have some money, I took my son to have a walk in a walking concept mall.  Just having lunch at a restaurant or siteseeing with him.

So many cheap ideas you can create to relieve stress, it is up to you to be creative..

10 Ways to Open Up Again After Being Hurt

 This is always the hardest things to do..so, I think it is wise to share this to ones who have this same problems.

When your partner hurts you, it can be difficult to open up again and bring trust back into your relationship. It's hard to trust your heart to someone who has proven hurtful. You want to love, and so you throw caution to the wind and open up your heart, hoping you will not get hurt--again.

How do men and women open up to love and trust another person again while staying safe and protected from hurt? Here are 10 ways to do it.

1.    Realize that any person close to you can hurt you. Haven't you ever hurt someone you love? Weren't you sorry afterwards? When others hurt you, realize they are just like you. They have likely hurt you unintentionally and are sorry. Find out.

2.    Be prepared for the hurt. Don't assume that knowing someone well or being in love is going to prevent hurt. It won't.

3.    It's probably not about you. When someone does hurt you, assume it's not personal and it's not directed at you, and it's not about you. Try not to over react.

4.    Learn to set boundaries. To find out what your boundaries are, ask yourself the following questions:
•    What don't I want in my life, in my relationships?
•    What type of behavior hurts me?
•    How would people need to behave around me in order for me to thrive happily?
There are things you will tolerate, and there are things you will not tolerate. Educate the people you love about your needs, your feelings, your dislikes, your boundaries. But first, educate yourself. A good therapist will help you get clarity and help you prioritize your likes and dislikes. If you need some assistance or guidance, ask for it.

5.    Develop coping strategies. When you've been hurt, learn how to immediately handle the situation. For example, if your significant other raises her voice when she's upset, learn how to say, “I don't want to talk about this when you raise your voice.” Don't shut down! Don't start yelling back! Or, let's say you're waiting for a call back from a voicemail you left. Stop waiting for the call. Move on and live your life as it was before, and allow your life to continue on track (your track, not his or hers).

6.    Trust yourself. Realize that most of feeling safe is about trusting yourself. You can be assured that most people—especially those close to you—will hurt you occasionally. Get over it as quickly as you can.

7.    Be trustworthy. Become the kind of person who can be trusted. Be honest, no matter what. Be discreet. Keep agreements. Keep personal information between you personal.
[ How Important is Compatibility? ]

8.    Strengthen communication skills. Learn to communicate effectively and powerfully, yet gently. No attacks, no accusations—everything that needs to be said in order to make an impact can be said with grace and heart. If your partner won't talk, it means she's hurt or too selfish to be with. Find out which. If he or she listens, speak using “I feel” statements. As you know, we all tend to listen more intently if a soft tone is used.

9.    Learn to trust. Believe in yourself and appreciate yourself enough to be able to dismiss the hurtful words.

10.    Work through the hurt. Learn when it's appropriate to forgive and when it's best to end the relationship. Any partner will hurt you occasionally. The question is how much and how often. An occasional hurt or annoyance can be forgiven or dealt with for the benefit of the relationship. Working through the hurt can make you grow together.

Today's Idea: To Plant an Herbs Garden In A Small Place

I found this great idea to put into my garden:

Plum Sauced Wings

 

ingredients

• 1 16-ounce can whole unpitted purple plums
• 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 2 tablespoons bottled hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons sesame seed, toasted
• 2 pounds chicken wings with drumettes (about 24 pieces)
• Salt and pepper

directions

1. For sauce, drain plums, reserving liquid. Pit plums. In a food processor bowl or blender container, combine the pitted plums, reserved plum liquid, the orange juice concentrate, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and the 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and process or blend until mixture is nearly smooth.
2. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in the sesame seed.
3. Prepare grill for indirect grilling; test for medium heat above the pan. Sprinkle wings with salt and pepper; place wings in a single layer on the rack over the pan.
4. Cover and grill for 20 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest portion of a wing reads 180 degree F and juices run clear. Brush wings occasionally with sauce during grilling. Heat any remaining sauce and pass with wings. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

3. Place skewers on the grill rack directly over medium heat; grill for 7 minutes. Turn skewers; brush with 1/4 cup of the Thai Brushing Sauce. Discard any remaining brushing sauce. Arrange pineapple slices on grill rack directly over medium heat. Grill chicken and pineapple for 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and pineapple is heated through, turning once.
