Ya Allah, ampunilah aku dan ibu bapakku. Sayangilah mereka seperti mereka menyayangiku sewaktu aku kecil. I'm a proud son

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.

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 ...

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! ...
