Ramadhan kareem

Alhamdulillah masih dikasih kesempatan sama Allah buat ngerasain indahnya bulan Ramadhan, with a special bonus; this year my first week of ramadhan will be spent in Japan. 

kemarin (hari pertama puasa) uda ada dua ujian yang salah satunya bikin dhilla susah tidur selama berhari-hari, and it turned out i couldn`t do it very well, i needed more time! tapi ya apa mau dikata, berusaha uda, sekarang tinggal berdoa buat hasil terbaik...2 down, 4 more to gooo! yesterday was also the first time i had iftar and did taraweh prayer at Camii Yoyogi Uehara Mosque, Alhamdulillah :)

today, the second day of ramadhan, dhilla pagi-pagi ngejalanin kewajiban "ngejaga" ruang komputer kampus, dan ternyata sepiii, beda banget sama minggu-minggu sebelumnya yang selalu penuh sampe-sampe printer-printernya selalu ngadat semua..post ini juga dhilla tulis selama lagi baito (kerja sambilan), hehe..Alhamdulillah again :)

kalau ditanya tentang kesan dhilla puasa selama hampir 16 jam di negeri sakura ini; my answer would be that this experience made me realize how lucky i have been to be in such a supporting environment in Indonesia, bisa ngejalaninnya bareng keluarga juga, tapi sayangnya, dhilla jadi semakin sadar kalau selama ini dhilla nyia-nyiain apa yang dhilla punya. kalau dirumah mana perlu mikirin mau sahur apa, bangun juga ada yang bangunin, solat juga lebih enak, banyak kesempatan buat berjamaah. here, things aren't the same. when i say it isni't the same, i'm not saying it in a bad way, tapi emang kenyataannya ya beda, disini kita belajar dan dipaksa buat lebih mandiri. ngerasain sahur sendirian (eh ga deng, malah tadi pagi sempet ditemenin gempa beberapa dekit, hehe) semoga ini semua bakalan jadi pengalaman yang suatu hari bisa dijadikan pelajaran.
happy fasting everyone, hopefully this Ramadhan will be a beginning of a brand new start! :)

Allah didn't promise us days without pain, laughter without sorrow and sun without rain, but He did promise us; strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way. :)

an answer from a dream

woow! 

i didn't notice that i've only posted 1 time throughout this whole semester! Σ(っ゜Д゜；)っ
 i'm sorry *it's not like there's anyone that's actually waiting for a new post*, so i guess i'm apologizing to myself..hehe

anyway, do you know the saying that as you get older the problems that you have to face seem to be getting harder and harder? well, this is what i've felt this semester..i didn't say my days are full of gloomy faces, i'm thankful actually, but getting pass each day wasn't a breeze either. As a maturing young adult (whaat?! beuuh gaya banget ;p) there are a lot of things bothering my mind, but today as i had a short nap i had one of the longest dreams i could ever imagine. and in that dream all the questions that has been bothering me were answered. aaaah, i don't like it when this happens. dreams like this happen to me quite often actually and when ever it does it gets me hoping even more. :(

has this ever happened to you? 

sometimes the answer in my dream and in reality has no similarity what so ever, but sometimes, they're actually right, this is what scares me and why i don't like having dreams like these, huft..

next week i'll be having my final exam, please wish me luck (人*′Д`*)

hanami for Rama's birthday

there's only one word that could describe yesterday, TERRIFIC. :}

i would say it was perfect but because we didn't get to ride on the boat, there was still a small piece missing, hehe.

so yesterday was Rama's 22nd birthday, and we (Edhika, Alifa, Akira, mas Asad, Luqman, Rama, Iqbal and i) decided to have hanami, hanami literally mean viewing flowers, it's a japanese tradition were we go for a picnic or walk while enjoying the view of the cherry blossom flowers. we went to an area near the imperial palace, its called Yasukuni Jinja.

we ate lunch under the cherry blossom tree, took pictures almost ever meter we went, had takoyaki, bought yaki soba *akhirnya ketemu juga yaki soba yang bisa dimakan*, had sakura cake and sakura dango which were super duper delicious, ditraktir rama makan indian curry Shiddique, there were just soooo many things that made that day great. but for me one of the highlights of the day was when we did our ashar and maghrib prayer together outside in the park. it just felt so peaceful. since i lived here, for me it was the first time to be able to pray in front of the public like that without having to worry someone will see us, hehehe *norak ya*, the other highlight was all the great pictures we took together. since the photographers were akira and rama, so the pictures are in their camera, but when i have the files i'll be sure to put them here too.

anyway, it was a really great day! were you're weekend great too? i hope they were. :}

now it's another monday, the start of a new week, i'll be starting school again soon, yeay, can't wait!

selamat kembali beraktivitas ya semua! :}

quake-y oh quake-y

just a few minutes ago another quite big earth quake happened, it was 7,4 SR and there were also tsunami alerts for the affected areas like Miyagi-ken. since the past 3 weeks since March 11th there were soooo many earthquakes, but the one that just happened now reminded me of how it felt on that unpleasant day, March 11th.   things like these are just so unpredictable. but when it comes, am i ready? :(
