STAND UP, STAND OUT, STAND TALL

I've already learned that we are not weak just because our heart feels so heavy. I've already knew that we never can trust people. Don't ever fall for sweet words but fall for efforts. Always give the best because no one who gave their best ever regreted it. If someone knock you down, forgive then ignore him/her. But never forget what they did to you. You are different, you are special, you are you. Be original. Keep your faith, be patient and do not feed your anger, it will swallow your light. Stand up, Stand out, Stand tall.

TAWAKAL

I've had the kind of bad day that no quote can fix. My whole life I've been trying to make the complicated simple. It's creativity if I made it awesomely simple because making the simple complicated is commonplace. Arguing things that we don't really need to be argued is stressing. Prophet Muhammad SAW said, 'I will guarantee a house at the base of heaven for those who leave the debate even though he is on the right side.' At this point, I've came to a 'whatever happens, happens' mindset. I'm no longer going to force things. I'm doing my best, start letting go and allowing blessings to flow. Allah has a plan and I'm exactly where He wants me right now. Allah never fails to help. Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakil, ni'mal maula wa ni'man nashir.

END OF YEAR, END OF LIES

At some point, I think we all just get tired of the lies told. We are pushing ourselves into isolation.  And I can't stop wondering why someone love you and lie to you over and over again. It just doesn't make any sense.  Lies kill relationships no matter how careful you are you will get caught. I can't find out what's worse, people who lie or people who think I'm stupid enough to believe their lies. I don't say I always right or I'm a good man. But I don't do stupid things no more.  I often see 'the punishment' to someone who did me wrong. And may Allah give kaffarah to all who mean to others.  Let go let God. Hasbunallah wani'mal wakil ni'mal maula wani'man nasir.

LEAVING ME NOW

If your sky is a lot clearer without me I will not be a cloud in your space May the love that finds you put sunshine in your sky I will work on cherishing the clouds in my soul that cause rainbows after the rain @najwasebian

RESPECT

Love is the other name of respect. If you can’t respect your loved one, then you don’t deserve to be loved. And do not love the one who can’t respect you.

BE THE ONE

Here's the thing about people with good hearts. They give you excuses when you don't explain yourself. They accept apologies you don't give. They see the best in you when you don't need them to. At your worst, they lift you up even if it means putting their priorities aside. The word 'busy' does not exist in their dictionary. They make time even when you don't. And you wonder why they're the most sensitive people. You wonder why they're the most caring people. You wonder why they are willing to give so much of themselves with no expectation in return. You wonder why their existence is not so essential to your well-being. It's because they don't make you work hard for the attention they give you. They accept the love they think they've earned and you accept the love you think you're entitled to. Let me tell you something. Fear the day when a good heart gives up on you. Our skies don't become gray out of no where. Our sunshine does ...

THE TESTIMONI

I love his thoughts.. Personally, I joined Loenpia Jazz for 3 years out of my passion in music show. I have been wanting to be involved in a music show and Allah SWT gave me the chance to join a music festival. Alhamdulillah. I learn, make more friends and bonds and I get connections too. I don't ask and I don't actually look for connections but it came to me as my relationship with Loenpia Jazz develops. I don't know if I'm allowed to say 'my relationship with LJ develops', I mean more like with the awesome people behind Loenpia Jazz every single year. I honestly never think I will do anything for Semarang.  I spent 21 years of my 24, living in this city. Though my love for Cimahi is bigger but I can't help to feel offensed when someone said Semarang is shitty or whatever haha and I kinda proud to say that I gave (very) tiny bit contribution for Semarang through Loenpia Jazz. Bravo, Mas Bagus! Bravo, Jazz Ngisorringin! Bravo, Loenpia Jazz! ...

SCHEME OF LOENPIA JAZZ 2017

So many bitter things we experienced during 2016. Whatever had happened, it was a very valuable lesson that is worth learning to do some improvement in 2017. Ranging from the smallest detail to the most basic framework. To anticipate problems that may arise, we create scheme as an evaluation of the scheme which has been used in managing Loenpia Jazz over the last 5 years. A wise man will not fall on the same hole. And yes, we continue to learn. The Scheme of Loenpia Jazz 2012 - 2016 The New Scheme of Loenpia Jazz (2017) Lastly, don't ask what your city and local government could give. Ask yourself what have you been doing along the way for the city and brings benefit to many people.

TALK IS CHEAP AND TRUST IS EARNED

Later, I learned (again) that you can't even trust someone you put your heart on or someone close to you. No matter how hard you convince yourself to deny that someone won't lie or tell the truth. Someone who think about your feeling won't do anything that put you to the limit of your anger. If you're 'up' is easy someone to be around but when you're 'down' you will finally see that someone will disrespect you and 'call' for another guy. Yes, that's life and absolutely not mine. Two faces, betrayal and backstabbing. Be wise on choosing who your friends are. Be sure on who you trusting your heart into. Love your self.

DEVELOPING SEMARANG CITY OF JAZZ WITH LOENPIA JAZZ

When an idealism began to compromise with many things, that's where the guts and maturity began in the test. It has been became a risk of a movement or an organization when it starts climbed to a higher level than before. And also has become a character of some people to gossip about the success of a movement for some reason, either envy or want to become personally famous. Not to mention the people in the organization itself that stole the opportunity to tell to all parties that this achievement is the result of his/her personal hard work not a team work. But generally, we are hand in hand building the same dream because every personal surely has their own goal. About three years ago, I gave a concept to synergize the activities of the three parties, government, private and community. So many various ways adopted to achieve this concept. For example is taking the locations of activities that have a historical value to the city. Aims to gain community pride and make them aware...

A GLANCE OF LOENPIA JAZZ 2015

We started earlier than in previous years and friends who are involved even more and more. Some new faces bring fresh ideas. Friends who have been involved from the beginning are there, even though not a few people go. There is no big deal for the JAZZNGiSORiNGiN community with that because the members have all the right and option.  And volunteers who joined this year is exceptional. I appreciate the volunteers more than the people who two faced and used this moment to look concerned and take advantage on it. The time has proven who are doing it with heart. Loenpia Jazz this year is not located in a place that has historical significance to the city of Semarang. However, we promise this location will be part of the memorable memories for jazz lovers in Indonesia. If you are curious, I will not mention the location in this post. The theme this year is a culinary where visitors will be able to enjoy the many culinary specialties of Semarang while enjoying jazz music performan...

LOOK BACK TO RUN FASTER

Just another self reminder. Life must have a meaning. It's not about winning or making a lot of money. It's about struggle and keep on fighting. I've been living a quite hard life. I've deceived, betrayed, stabbed in the back, left alone, drowned. Yes I've dropped and down. But I was created to be a fighter. I never lose friends because those who do evil to me and others is never so my friend from the beginning. And since I have so many inventory of forgiveness, for those who have done evil (to me), tell me what you regret later.

KAMU

Yang lelah dipuja seperti meminta dicela.. Yang sepenuh hati dibela seakan ingin dicerca.. Yang hanya nampak sekilas semakin terlihat jelas.. Bukan manusia kalau tidak pernah terjebak hal fana.. Ketika semua upaya yang baik sudah tiba di ujung jalan.. Apakah harus semua yang jahat meniti jalan pulang menuju tempat berangkat? Hitam dan putih berseteru dan keyakinan selalu menjadi pemenangnya.. Bahwa karma akan selalu sampai pada alamatnya.. 

SUGAR MILL OF COLOMADU

When engaging a job in Solo , I idly walks into a building of sugar mill in the suburb of Solo . Here let me tell you from a variety of sources and their photo- photo I took with a digital camera .
