Lake Toba (Danau Toba) [1], is the largest volcanic lake in the world and is in Sumatra, Indonesia. Samosir island within the lake is the island within the island of Sumatra.
Lake Toba was perhaps once more popular than it is nowadays, but for many it remains a firm fixture on the Banana Pancake Trail. It is a great laid back place to chill out for a few days after jungle trekking etc. The location is very popular with Chinese tourists around Chinese New Year, when availability drops dramatically and accommodation costs sky rocket.
From Medan Polonia airport you can fly directly to Silangit with Susi Air daily . Flights take approximately 30 minutes and is a much better and safer way than the road trip. 2013 February the flight costs 425,000 IDR $42 USD one way. Transportation options from Silangit airport are limited; it is a good idea to pre-arrange a driver to be waiting; From Silangit Airport to Parapat take 2 hours drive. To Silangit airport from Parapat there are many transport providers available around the ferry terminal area. Costs to / from Silangit and Parapat should cost around 300,000 IDR each way per vehicle.
You can go there by taxi at Medan Airport to tiga raja harbour.There are RAJA TAXI;ARTHA TAXI; and TOBATRANSPORTER, whatsapp,viber, ☎ +6285261492668 (tobatransporter@hotmail.com). for tour packages and trip price you can see in their sites,You can also go from Berastagi to Parapat and from Bukit Lawang to Parapat for leaving service from both way with some places that you can visit on the way go to Lake Toba
Parapat is connected to Tomok and Tuk Tuk on the Samosir Island by boat/ferry that run every 1 hr, the last one at 7PM (Rp 10,000). The place to catch the ferry to Tuk Tuk is called "Tiga Raja" harbour/jetty. ferry man will drop you which place you stay in Tuk Tuk . In my opinion try to observe the ferry with wooden bench inside and light green colored ferry. Those are the ferries that charge Rp 10,000 and the locals take to cross over. Tuk Tuk is the main town to stay on Samosir. Use the boat service not the large ferry, they will drop you directly at your Tuk Tuk resort.
Please note: As of Sep 2012 here is only one cirrus/mastercard ATM on the island (at the white beach entrance), better to get enough cash at Parapat before crossing the lake to the island.
Another great way to get to Lake Toba is by train. Two or three trains leave each day in that direction and you want to get off either at Pematang Siantar or Tebing Tinggi (note: the train stops at one or the other). If you want to get to the train directly from Medan airport, get a taxi or becak, and tell them or write Lapangan Merdeka and Setasiun Kereta Api Medan. From the station there's only 2 train leaves Medan to Permatang Siantar (or Siantar) which is 11AM and 7:25PM. The fare is Rp 12,000 per person and the journey takes approximately 3-4 hr. Train stop at almost each station. Once you reach the Siantar station double check the schedule for the train for going back to Medan. Then take a Becak or walk to the bus/taxi hub to travel to Perapat. The train is a wonderful way to travel if you like to learn more culture on their daily living and lifestyle. Once you are in your seat and have a stream of buskers, food vendors and friendly local passing by you will know why this is often the best way to travel overland. From Siantar (1 hour taxi) or Tebing Tinggi (2 hr taxi) you will need to hire a taxi or a bus for road transport to Parapat.
The ferry ride over is fantastic, just truly peaceful, apart from the car radios playing, the ladies selling peanuts, bottled water, mie or pretty much anything else. Normally some of the passengers and vendors will be able to speak English. Landing at the other end of the 1 hour ferry journey is daunting, but again, behave like everyone else in Indonesia and just push, ever so politely, but firmly and eventually you will get off the ferry and onto the main road. Alternatively use the boat service but watch out for the guys that ask for the fee before you embark — they do not work for the operators, you pay on the boat.
The road signs are pretty much useless, as is asking the locals for directions. Anyway if you are going to tuk tuk keep going, even though it may seem to be taking forever and you have been stuck in the Kijang for 8 hrs= with 10 other people, but you will get there and the hosts will be wonderful.
Do not try to drive out of Samosir Island by going up and over the top to the land bridge. The road is very bad.
It is also possible to go to Parapat from Dumai by mini-van, leaving in the afternoon. The trip takes around 11 hr, and costs Rp 150,000.
Public Boats from Parapat and surrounding areas sail from either Ajibata or Tigaraja to Tuktuk or Tomok at Samosir Island. The fee is Rp 10,000 per trip.
There is also bigger ship which transports Cars and Busses sailing between Tigaraja and Tomok.
Hire a motorcycle for a day or two and get out and about Rp 85,000 per day including full petrol. You can bargain down to Rp 80,000 per day in low season if you hire for several days. Most of the motorcycles available for rent are the owner's own transportation, so you may need to return it to them before sunset (depends on owner) or you may be charge for an extra fees. Take a map. There are no police checking licenses and there is not much traffic - just watch out for the big trucks, buses and diabolical bridges. Honking around is a norm to indicate that there's incoming car from the opposite or there's a car bypassing you from the back (in driver's point of view). A good journey to take on a motorcycle would be to travel North from Tuk Tuk around to the western shore, stopping at the tourist sites along the way such as the many and varied traditional houses and villages. The roads are very bad in the centre of the island (bumpy and washed out) and it takes half a day to cross this way (verse 1-2 hours by coast road which is more scenic anyway). You can expect to ride at least up to 100 km in the day. If you're going around the island with motorcycle or bicycle, be sure to put on some sunblock as when you venture out in the morning things can be deceiving due to the cooler temperatures in the morning cause of the higher elevation, but the sun will be intense by mid-day.
It may be obvious but just remember there are no taxis around Tuk Tuk. Sure you can walk the small part of the island in an hour or so but if you are heading out for the night plan ahead on how you will get back home. The locals are very friendly people who will go out of their way to help. However, some corners of the island are very quiet at night and you may find yourself on a long long walk.
Most of the cottages and guest houses at Tuk Tuk will rent you a very serviceable bicycle for a nominal fee, this is a very much preferred way to get around, but be very careful for the cars as nobody looks and there does not seem to be any right side of the road, even when its the left side.
Saturday night is often the highlight on the local calendar. You can hear a chorus of parties going around the Tuk Tuk area.
There are numerous hotels and guest houses, mainly in Tuk tuk but
with a few scattered in other small towns around the island. During
Chinese New Year (end of Jan/early Feb), many Indonesians come for
vacation and will pay generously for their rooms (about triple the
rate). To accommodate these guests, some guest house owners may ask
their existing guests to vacate their rooms, but only giving them very
short notice. Therefore, when arriving before Chinese New Year, check
with the guest house owner to ensure your stay will not be interrupted.
A popular way for tourists to get around Samosir Island is to hire a motorcycle Rp 70,000-80.000, a lower rate may be available if rented for a longer period. Care should be taken if choosing this option as the roads around the island are in poor condition and medical services very limited if you have an accident requiring medical treatment.

Understand
Lake Toba is an immense volcanic lake covering an area of 1,707 sq km (1,000 sq km bigger than Singapore) with an island in the center. Formed by a gigantic volcanic eruption some 70,000 years ago, it is probably the largest resurgent caldera on Earth. Some studies say it might have been associated with causing previous ice age/climate change and the largest human population bottleneck ever. Genetic estimates suggests that there were only a few thousand individuals that survived the catastrophe. The island in the middle - Pulau Samosir - was joined to the caldera wall by a narrow isthmus, which was cut through to enable boats to pass; a road bridge crosses the cutting. Samosir island is the cultural centre of Batak tribe who are mostly Christians in the modern days.Lake Toba was perhaps once more popular than it is nowadays, but for many it remains a firm fixture on the Banana Pancake Trail. It is a great laid back place to chill out for a few days after jungle trekking etc. The location is very popular with Chinese tourists around Chinese New Year, when availability drops dramatically and accommodation costs sky rocket.
Talk
Indonesian, known as Bahasa Indonesia. And there are local people who live in Toba region that called BATAK; they speak with the local language BATAK; just say for the whole greetings HORAS means welcome, good morning, farewell and etc.Get in

Stay safe
The local Batak people are very respectful. Some of the local males may try to turn on the charm too much.A popular way for tourists to get around Samosir Island is to hire a motorcycle Rp 70,000-80.000, a lower rate may be available if rented for a longer period. Care should be taken if choosing this option as the roads around the island are in poor condition and medical services very limited if you have an accident requiring medical treatment.

Carstensz Pyramid
Carstensz Pyramid is the highest mountain, not only of the New Guinea Island, but also of Australia and Oceania. It lies in the Snow Mountains of the Indonesian province Papua. The ascent to the summit of the Carstensz Pyramid is possible only using experienced climbing techniques.There are several routes leading to the summit. The simplest one is the “normal” route, which was taken in 1962 by Heinrich Harrer, the first conqueror of the Carstensz Pyramid. You can even go skiing and unforgettable.
Wasur National Park
In Papua province of Indonesia. This park is the joint project of the Indonesian Directorate of Forest Protection & Nature Conservation and the indigenous people (mainly the Kanum and Marind) who contribute to, and benefit from, the park and its management. The 4138-sq-km park (Taman Nasional Wasur) backs onto the PNG border, and features termite mounds, wetlands, traditional villages and extensive bird life (74 endemic species). Wildlife includes cuscus and kangaroos (including 27 endemic species), but animals are often very difficult to see. The best time to visit is during the dry season (July to January); access during the wet season (February to June) is often only possible to Yanggandur and Onggaya villages.
The Mentawai Islands
West Sumatra, Mentawai Islands have consistent surf year-round at hundreds of famous and notso-famous breaks. But the best of the good waves can be found roughly between April and October (give or take a month). In the past, charter boats were the primary means of reaching the top surfing spots, but beachside camps (many of which are affiliated with charter companies) have set down roots on the islands. Surf resorts also offer cultural tour treks into the interior of Siberut.
The Kei Islands
The Kei Islands most famous tourist draw is Pasir Panjang, 3km of white sand so powdery it feels like flour. Coconut palms curve across it obligingly for your photographic delectation. Yet despite the brochure-cover beauty, the beach is almost entirely deserted except at weekends. Amid the palms around 400m north of Ngur Bloat (aka Pasir Panjang village) are a handful of Saturday-night karaoke shacks, two offering accommodation.
Taka Bonerate Marine Park
Southeast of Pulau Selayar, and north of Pulau Bone Rate, is the 2220-sq-km Taka Bone Rate, the world’s third-largest coral atoll. The largest, Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, is just 20% bigger. Some of the islands and extensive reefs in the region are now part of Taka Bonerate Marine National Park (Taman Laut Taka Bone Rate), a marine reserve with a rich variety of marine and bird life. There is no official accommodation on the islands, but if you manage to get here you can stay with villagers if you ask the kepala desa (village head) at Bone Rate on Pulau Bone Rate. Alternatively, take a tent and camp on a beach. Boats leave irregularly from Selayar. Most visitors are divers travelling on liveaboard trips.
Morotai Islands
Off Halmahera’s northern tip, this sparsely populated island became a minor Japanese base during WWII. It leapt to importance when it was captured by the Allies and used to bomb Manila to bits – the sad fulfilment of General MacArthur’s ‘I will return’ pledge to retake the Philippines. Among the Japanese defenders that retreated to Morotai’s crumpled mountain hinterland was the famous Private Nakamura: only in 1973 did he discover that the war was over. Bunkers and rusty bullet-cases are visible at overgrown WWII battle sites near Trans Dua. That’s 35 muddy minutes by ojek from Morotai’s village capital Daruba where a rusting US amphibious lander (amfibi) lies hidden in a coconut plantation. Daruba fishing smacks can take you to Pulau Sum Sum, a beautiful desert island that was MacArthur’s temporary WWII command base. It has delightful spongy, white sand and is littered with giant clam shells and the odd WWII bullet.
Kelimutu
Set in plunging craters at the summit of a volcano, the coloured lakes of Kelimutu are undoubtedly the most spectacular sight in Nusa Tenggara. Astonishingly, the lakes periodically change hue – on our visit the largest was an iridescent turquoise, its neighbour chocolate brown and the third lake dark green. A few years ago the colours were blue, maroon and black, while back in the 1960s the lakes were blue, red-brown and café au lait. It’s thought that the lakes’ colours are in constant flux due to dissolving minerals, a process that can accelerate in the rainy season. The moonscape around the summit gives Kelimutu an ethereal atmosphere, especially when clouds billow across the craters and sun shafts add luminescent pinpoints to the lakes. Kelimutu’s relative isolation means that surprisingly few visitors make it here outside of the July–August high season, and even then it’s not too hard to find a peaceful spot to enjoy this natural wonder. Visit in the rainy season or in the afternoon and you may even have Kelimutu, in silence, to yourself. Pray for a sunny day – sunrise is stunning and the turquoise lake reaches its full brilliance in the sunlight. If the weather is not good, come back the next day – Kelimutu is really worth seeing at its best.
Kalimantan’s Rainforest
Kalimantan’s most celebrated inhabitant is the unbearably human-esque orang-utan. These rich amber–coloured primates with their soulful disposition are an undisputed highlight of the islands fauna and an obvious magnet for tourists. And, Kalimantan has some spectacular jungle journeys for travel junkies. The following require resilience, respect, Bahasa Indonesia and a keen sense of adventure; the reward is glimpses of ancient rainforests that may not be around for much longer.
Banyak Islands
The Banyak (Many) Islands are a cluster of 99, mostly uninhabited, islands, about 30km west of Singkil, Aceh. The islands are very remote and see few casual visitors. The 2004 Boxing Day earthquake and tsunami, followed by the 2005 Nias quake, destroyed many coastal dwellings and contaminated freshwater wells. The main island of Pulau Balai was permanently see-sawed by the quake, causing the west coast to rise by about 70cm and the east coast to drop below sea level. The main town of Balai now experiences flooding at high tide. Malaria has been reported on the islands, so take suitable precautions. Inquire at the pier about accommodation on Pulau Balai. Lodging may also be available on Pulau Palambak Kecil, Pulau Rangit Besar, Pulau Panjang and Pulau Ujung Batu with local families; ask about meals when arranging a room.
Sumba
The dry, undulating island of Sumba has the richest tribal culture in Nusa Tenggara, centred on a religious tradition called marapu. It’s one of the poorest but most fascinating islands to visit, with a decidedly off-the-beaten-track appeal courtesy of its thatched clan houses, colossal carved megalith tombs, outstanding hand-spun ikat and bloody sacrificial funerals. Physically it looks quite different from the volcanic islands to the north, its countryside characterised by low limestone hills and fields of maize and cassava. Sumba’s extensive grasslands made it one of Indonesia’s leading horse-breeding islands. Horses are still used as transport in more rugged regions; they are a symbol of wealth and status and have traditionally been used as part of the bride-price.
Carstensz Pyramid is the highest mountain, not only of the New Guinea Island, but also of Australia and Oceania. It lies in the Snow Mountains of the Indonesian province Papua. The ascent to the summit of the Carstensz Pyramid is possible only using experienced climbing techniques.There are several routes leading to the summit. The simplest one is the “normal” route, which was taken in 1962 by Heinrich Harrer, the first conqueror of the Carstensz Pyramid. You can even go skiing and unforgettable.
Wasur National Park
In Papua province of Indonesia. This park is the joint project of the Indonesian Directorate of Forest Protection & Nature Conservation and the indigenous people (mainly the Kanum and Marind) who contribute to, and benefit from, the park and its management. The 4138-sq-km park (Taman Nasional Wasur) backs onto the PNG border, and features termite mounds, wetlands, traditional villages and extensive bird life (74 endemic species). Wildlife includes cuscus and kangaroos (including 27 endemic species), but animals are often very difficult to see. The best time to visit is during the dry season (July to January); access during the wet season (February to June) is often only possible to Yanggandur and Onggaya villages.
The Mentawai Islands
West Sumatra, Mentawai Islands have consistent surf year-round at hundreds of famous and notso-famous breaks. But the best of the good waves can be found roughly between April and October (give or take a month). In the past, charter boats were the primary means of reaching the top surfing spots, but beachside camps (many of which are affiliated with charter companies) have set down roots on the islands. Surf resorts also offer cultural tour treks into the interior of Siberut.
The Kei Islands
The Kei Islands most famous tourist draw is Pasir Panjang, 3km of white sand so powdery it feels like flour. Coconut palms curve across it obligingly for your photographic delectation. Yet despite the brochure-cover beauty, the beach is almost entirely deserted except at weekends. Amid the palms around 400m north of Ngur Bloat (aka Pasir Panjang village) are a handful of Saturday-night karaoke shacks, two offering accommodation.
Crab at Taka Bonerate (Image courtesy of alex popescu)
Southeast of Pulau Selayar, and north of Pulau Bone Rate, is the 2220-sq-km Taka Bone Rate, the world’s third-largest coral atoll. The largest, Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, is just 20% bigger. Some of the islands and extensive reefs in the region are now part of Taka Bonerate Marine National Park (Taman Laut Taka Bone Rate), a marine reserve with a rich variety of marine and bird life. There is no official accommodation on the islands, but if you manage to get here you can stay with villagers if you ask the kepala desa (village head) at Bone Rate on Pulau Bone Rate. Alternatively, take a tent and camp on a beach. Boats leave irregularly from Selayar. Most visitors are divers travelling on liveaboard trips.
Morotai Islands
Off Halmahera’s northern tip, this sparsely populated island became a minor Japanese base during WWII. It leapt to importance when it was captured by the Allies and used to bomb Manila to bits – the sad fulfilment of General MacArthur’s ‘I will return’ pledge to retake the Philippines.

Berikut ini tips-tips agar bb yang anda gunakan tidak terlalu lemot dan hang/error
1. Install aplikasi yang penting
Kebanyakan aplikasi atau theme akan cukup menguras kemampuan dari memori. Cek kembali aplikasi-aplikasi apa saja yang kita biasa gunakan dan delete aplikasi atau theme yang menurut kita sudah jarang dipakai.
2. Batasi group BBM
Group BBM adalah penyumbang terbesar 'sampah' yang membuat BlackBerry kita menjadi lemot. Carilah group BBM yang benar-benar berguna, teman-teman kita yang lain toh masih bisa dihubungi melalui BBM pribadi, email, Twitter atau lainnya.
3. Tutup chat di BBM yang sudah selesai
Jika Anda merasa bahwa percakapan dengan seseorang itu penting, Anda dapat menyimpan percakapan tersebut di media card dengan melakukan setting di BBM - Options - Cari Save Chat History lalu pilih media card.
Namun jangan sampai, aktivitas percakapan yang sudah selesai jauh-jauh hari tetap Anda biarkan. Bijaklah menggunakan BBM, dimana salah satu caranya menutup aktivitas chat setiap obrolan selesai.
4. Hapus email yang tidak diperlukan.
Ini juga menjadi salah satu penyumbang lemot, terutama email yang memiliki attachment cukup besar. Saat anda melakukan delete biasanya akan muncul pilihan On Mailbox & Handheld (email di BlackBerry dan di Mailbox Server akan dihapus) atau On Handheld (hanya email di BlackBerry saja yang dihapus).
Kalau email yang akan anda hapus itu dirasa masih cukup penting, cukup pilih On Handheld saja. Email aslinya masih akan tersimpan di Mailbox (Yahoo, Google, atau klien email Anda lainnya).
5. Biasakan lakukan clear log dengan cara: tekan alt+LG+LG -> Menu BlackBerry -> Clear Log
6. Jika Anda sering Browsing, hapus cache memory di browser.
Caranya: Menu BlackBerry -> Browser -> Options -> Cache Operations -> clear history
7. Rajin-rajin lakukan pembersihan memori
Caranya: Menu BlackBerry -> Options -> Security Options -> Memory Cleaning -> Ubah status ke posisi ENABLE -> Menu BB -> Clean Now.
8. Maksimalkan penggunaan memori eksternal. Penyimpanan foto, lagu, video dan lainnya sebaiknya disimpan ke dalam memori eksternal atau media card.
Caranya setting: Menu BlackBerry -> Options -> Memory -> Ganti status media Card Support menjadi ON.
9. Tips yang paling ampuh saat BlackBerry Anda lemot adalah:
Soft Reset: Tekan bersamaan tombol Alt – Caps/tombol aA (sebelah kanan dekat tombol sym) – tombol del — selesai (Khusus BlackBerry yang menggunakan keyboard)
Hard Reset: Biasa dikenal pula dengan istilah cabut baterai. Tindakan ini dilakukan untuk memastikan bahwa tidak ada lagi energi/daya listrik yang tertinggal. Biarkan selama maksimal 1 menit kemudian pasang kembali baterainya.

Kumpulan kata kata cinta yg romantis sekali, cocok buat mengungkapkan perasaan kepada orang yang kamu sayangi..
Terima Kasih Datang lagi ya lain kali
[ Read More ]
kata kata cinta
Aku ngelakuin semuanya buat kamu
Karna aku sayang kamu
Aku juga gak mau kehilangan kamu
Aku harap kita akan slalu bersama
Walaupun aku banyak kekurangan yang mungkin mengecewakan kamu
Tapi yang pasti
Aku gak mau jauh dari kamu
Baru sebentar saja kau bergegas meninggalkanku
Rasa rindu padamu kini bersarang di benakku
Cinta itu anugrah yang tak mungkin mudah tuk melepaskannya
Walau seribu rintangan
Tak gentar ku untuk menjalani semua denganmu
Aku hanya ingin habiskan malamku denganmu
Aku hanya ingin mendengar suaramu
Aku ingin mendengar ucapanmu yang mampu tenangkan aku
Ku petik daun tuk ku jadikan kertas
Ku patahkan ranting tuk ku jadikan pena
Ku teteskan airmata tuk ku jadikan tinta
Lalu kutulis bahwa..
Aku sayang kamu
Kemanakah kan kucari ketenangan hati
Ketika kau beranjak pergi
Karna hingga saat ini kau belum juga kembali
Kemanakah ku temukan jatidiri
Ketika semua penantian ku tiada berarti..
Aku tau bahwa semua yang hidup pasti mati,
tapi aku sangat yakin kamu tak akan terganti sayang...
kalau kamu ajak aku melompat bareng, aku gak ikut! Aku memilih turun ke bawah untuk menangkapmu.
Memberikan seluruh cintamu kepada seseorang bukanlah jaminan dia akan membalas cintamu!? Jangan mengharapkan balasan cinta, tunggulah sampai cinta berkembang di hatinya, tetapi jika tidak, berbahagialah karena cinta tumbuh dihatimu.
Bila mungkin sekarang aku merasakan betapa aku semakin mencintaimu itu bukan berarti gombal ataupun berlebihan, karena tak bisa ku pungkiri itulah yang sebenar-benarnya terjadi saat ini. I love you sayang.
kutahu tak ada hidup yang sempurna kutahu bahagia terletak diantara senyum dan tangis sesaat ku terdiam, tarasa denyut nyilu di rusuk kiriku kucoba berkata engkau hadir karenaku
"jika esok pagi menjelang,
akan q tantang matahari yg terbangun dr tidur lelapnya..
Karna hanya sinarQ lah yg kelak akan mampu menghangatkan dingin nya hatimu.."
Aku gak tau sampai kapan usiaku, tapi aku yakin cintaku selamanya untukmu..
walaupun hari ini kau mengukir luka d'hatiku ,
aku akan tetap mencintai mu seperti aku mencintai mu kemarin . .
tak akan ada yang yang abadi selain rasa "CINTAKU KEPADAMU"
Nih dah kusiapin makan siang yg istimewa buatmu: segelas cinta, sepiring rindu, semangkok sayang, sepotong kasih, secuil cemburu, dan sebuah doa.. Met maem yah..
kayaknya dokter ngelarang kamu minum teh manis yah?
Soalnya kt aku kmu tuh udah manis lho...
Aku yakin kalau kamulah satu-satunya bagian dari tulang rusukku yang Tuhan ciptakan hanya untukku. I love you sayang...
Kutahu kau mencintaiku saat kulihat binar matamu bersinar saat menatapku, teduh dan hangat. Kutahu kaulah tempatku bersandar dan berlindung.
Yang kuharap malam ini hanya tenangmu.
Yang kuinginkan saat ini hanya damaimu.
Yang kupinta detik ini hanya bahagiamu. Met tidur, sayang…
Memberikan seluruh cintamu kepada seseorang bukanlah jaminan dia akan membalas cintamu!? Jangan mengharapkan balasan cinta, tunggulah sampai cinta berkembang di hatinya, tetapi jika tidak, berbahagialah karena cinta tumbuh dihatimu.
Di dunia ini cuma ada 5 orang yang aku cintai, Ibuku, Ayahku, Saudara kandungku, Teman-temanku dan yang terakir adalah kau. kenapa kau kuletakkan pada urutan yang terakhir? karena aku ingin kau menjadi Cintaku yang terakhir dan tak ada cinta yang lain selain cinta terakhirku pada dirimu
Kasih… Aku rindu padamu saat aku sedih. Aku rindu padamu saat aku sendiri. Tetapi aku paling merindukanmu saat aku bahagia
bila kau menangis. .hatiku pun bersedih
bila kau senang. .hatiku pun berbunga
bila kau gelisah. .hatiku pun bergejolak
ini semua karena. . .
kita SEHATI. . .
Bila Tuhan masih memberiku kesempatan untuk hidup lebih lama,
aku hanya ingin lalui itu denganmu sayang...
The day will come when you’ll be mine
But I’ll just wait till that time
If I have to wait forever, that’s what I’ll do
Cause I can’t live my life without you
tau ga knapa malem ini ga ada bintang ??
soalnya bintangnya pindah semua ke matamu…
Bila Tuhan menciptakan wanita dari salahsatu tulang rusuk pria,
aku yakin kamulah satu-satunya yang hanya satu tercipta untukku...
Musim Terindah adalah ….
Ketika kau sambut pagi dengansenyummu
Ketika kau payungi siang dengan sapamu
Ketika kau tutup malam ini dengan belai sayangmu
I love U
bertemu denganmu adalah takdir,
menjadi temanmu adalah pilihanku,
tapi jatuh cinta denganmu itu di luar
kemampuanku..
Kata yang paling simple adalah I
Kata yang paling indah adalah LOVE
Dan orang tersayang adalah YOU.
That’s why I LOVE YOU
Meskipun aku belajar hapalan PANCASILA dari kecil kadang aku lupa urutannya,
tapi gak tau kenapa,
tak sedikitpun aku bisa menghilangkan bayang-bayang tentangmu di benakku...
Bwt malam, bintanglah yg spesial
Bwt bunga, kumbanglah yang spesial
But! Bwt aq, cm kamulah yg plg spesial
Aq menulis namamu di langit
tp awan menghapusnya
aq menulis namamu di pantai
tp ombak menghapusnya
jadi aq menulis namamu di hatiku
biar nggak akan ada yg bisa
menghapusnya…..
Aku cinta padamu
Tiga kata yang terucap
Tiga detik untuk menyatakan
Tiga menit untuk menjelaskan
Tiga jam untuk menunjukkan
Tapi untuk membuktikan
Akan kuberikan waktu seumur hidupku
Cintamu adalah keindahan
Memandangmu selalu tak membuatku jemu
Cintamu adalah nafasku
Denganmu aku ingin hidup seribu tahun lagi
Cintamu membuat hidupku sempurna
Sepi..
Aku hanya berteman sepi
Menikmati indah bayangmu disini
Sendiri..
Ku terperangkap seorang diri
Menyusuri langkah kaki
Hilang..
Semua kan hilang dan takkan kembali lagi
Aku gak tau
Kenapa makin hari aku makin sayang sama kamu
Aku makin takut kehilangan kamu
Aku pengen terus bersama kamu
Ku tau, aku bukan yang terbaik
Aku takkan bisa menjadi seperti yang kau inginkan
Dan mungkin cintaku tak sempurna
Tapi,
aku hanya ingin menjadi bagian dari barisan kisahmu
Ku jadikan kau yang kedua
Bukan berarti tak cinta
Aku dan dia hanya sementara
Tak perlu lagi kau pertanyakan
hatiku hanya untukmu
Berikan waktu jadikan engkau satu-satunya..
Kenapa aku sayang sama kamu
Cinta sama kamu
Setelah aku jauh dari kamu??
Kamu datang aku nangis
Kamu pulang aku nangis
Apa akan kaya gini terus?
bila kau menangis. .hatiku pun bersedih
bila kau senang. .hatiku pun berbunga
bila kau gelisah. .hatiku pun bergejolak
ini semua karena. . .
kita SEHATI. . .
Aku gak tau
Kenapa makin hari aku makin sayang sama kamu
Aku makin takut kehilangan kamu
Aku pengen terus bersama kamu
Tak henti kumenangis
Tak henti hatiku bersedih
dan tak henti kumeratapi waktu yang tersisa
Hanya untukmu
Tapi ku tak tau sampai kapan ini terjadi
Seandainya kau tau
Ku tak ingin kau pergi
Meninggalkan ku sendiri bersama bayangmu
Memang kita tlah jauh rasanya
Memang kita sudah tak bersama
Jika memang kita ditakdirkan tuk bersama selamanya
Cinta takkan kemana..
Lelahmu jadi lelahku juga
Bahagiamu.. bahagiaku pasti
Berbagi, takdir kita selalu
Kecuali tiap kau jatuh hati
Andai engkau ada disini
Ku kan slalu menjaga dan mencintaimu
Andai kau tercipta untukku
Kan kurangkai kisah terindah hanya untukmu
I Love U..
Satu yang kuminta yakini dirimu
Hati ini untukmu
Semua yang kulakukan untukmu
Lebih dari sebuah kata cinta untukmu
kurindukan pagi-pagiku saat kau bangunkan aku dari pulas tidurku dengan alunan merdu manja sapamu….
kurindukan siang-siangku saat kau teduhkan jiwa yang letih dengan sejuk tatap matamu…
kurindukan malam-malamku saat kau mengajakku ke dalam indah taman mimpi yang kau rajut dengan tulus kasihmu…
S-eandainya
E-ngkau
L-ebih kenal
A-kan diriku
M-aka aku
A-kan
T-ersenyum
M-anis untukmu
A-gar engkau
L-ebih tau
A-ku senantiasa
M-erindumu
Cinta pertama dibawakan oleh Adam dan Hawa,
cinta sejati dibawakan oleh Romeo n juliet,
diteruskan oleh rama n Sinta
dan akhirnya KAU dan AKU dibawakan oleh…
Kalau kamu nanya mana yg lebih penting buat aku, hidupku atau hidupmu, aku bakal jawab hidupku.
Eits, jangan marah dulu, karena kamulah hidupku.
Aku pernah jatuhkan setetes air mata di selat Sunda. Di hari aku bisa menemukannya lagi, itulah waktunya aku berhenti mencintaimu.
Kalau kamu nanya berapa kali kamu datang ke pikiranku, jujur aja, cuma sekali. abisnya, ga pergi2 sih!
sekarang aku gendutan gak sih?
Kayaknya iya deh,,
tau gak knapa?
Soalnya ...
Kmu udah mengembangkan cinta yg banyak di hati aku...
Jika waktu dapat berenti mengalir…
Aku berharap itu waktu kita sedang bahagia.
Jika waktu harus mengalir pergi…
Aku berharap kamu ga kan ngelupain aku.
"jika esok pagi menjelang,
akan aku tantang matahari yg terbangun dr tidur lelapnya..
Karna hanya sinarku lah yg kelak akan mampu menghangatkan dingin nya hatimu.."
Dalam Sayur Ada Kaldu…
Relung Hatiku Tersirat Rindu
Bukan Maksudku Tuk Bilang I Miss You…
Ataupun Bilang I Love You…
Aa cuman mau bilang
Sebelum Tidur Pipis Dulu…
Terima Kasih Datang lagi ya lain kali

"Orang yang berpikiran positif, dalam kondisi apapun juga selalu memacu dirinya sendiri ke arah yang lebih baik, tanpa terpengaruh oleh kondisi luar, selalu berusaha melihat dari segi positif, dan menjadikan halangan sebagai tantangan untuk maju"

Terima kasih karena telah mengunjungi blog saya ^_^
1. Berolah raga. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa olah raga lebih efektif dalam mencegah dan mengobati depresi daripada obat-obatan.
2. Ekspresikan cinta. Memberi dan mendapatkan cinta kasih membuat hidup kita bahagia. Mencurahkan cinta kasih kepada keluarga, kerabat dan orang lain adalah kunci kebahagiaan rohani. Membantu orang lain membuat hidup kita lebih bermakna dan kehadiran kita diharapkan.
3. Kurangi Menonton Televisi, Film dan Video/Online Game. Menonton televisi, film atau bermain game berlebihan dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan mental kita. Kekerasan dalam tayangan berita, film laga, dan game dapat mengurangi keseimbangan emosional, membuat depresi dan mempengaruhi respon emosi kita. Setelah melihat begitu banyak kekerasan, kita bisa tidak lagi mengenalinya sebagai kekerasan. Kilasan iklan televisi juga dapat menyebabkan indera dan otak kita overload dan kelelahan.
Banyak film yang menghibur, tetapi ada juga yang membangkitkan emosi negatif bagi sebagian orang. Bagi orang yang sensitif atau pernah mengalami semacam trauma dalam hidupnya, mengurangi waktu dan intensitas menonton tayangan yang memicu emosinya akan membantu menjaga keseimbangan jiwa.
Fokuslah pada hal-hal positif. Cobalah membaca berita, daripada menonton berita televisi. Membaca lebih berpengaruh lembut pada pikiran dan kita bisa lebih selektif. Cobalah menghindari tayangan kekerasan atau sensasional, pilihlah hanya program-program televisi dan film yang positif.
4. Mengapresiasi dan membuat karya seni. Menikmati seni lukis, seni fotografi, seni musik, seni tari dan bentuk-bentuk kesenian lainnya bisa menjadi stabilisator mood alami dan bermanfaat menyegarkan pikiran. Menghasilkan karya seni yang dapat dinikmati orang juga membantu seseorang untuk membangun harga diri, sesuatu yang penting bagi kesehatan mentalnya.
Cobalah mendengarkan musik yang lembut. Banyak musik hingar bingar yang justru dapat mengakibatkan kelebihan beban mental. Banyak pula jenis musik yang dapat mendatangkan perasaan tertekan atau hampa. Musik yang lembut dan merdu dapat menyeimbangkan proses kimiawi di otak kita.
5. Beribadah. Melaksanakan ibadah dan berdoa secara rutin memenuhi kebutuhan rohani kita, yang merupakan komponen vital dalam kesejahteraan jiwa. Mengabaikan kebutuhan spiritual membuat jiwa kita gelisah dan tidak tenang. Berdoa merupakan sarana yang efektif dalam mencegah dan memerangi masalah-masalah kesehatan mental.
6. Rekreasi di luar rumah. Cobalah untuk menjauhi rutinitas dengan menghabiskan waktu di alam. “Terapi hijau” bisa menjadi salah satu cara efektif untuk menemukan kedamaian batin, dan menenangkan pikiran kita, menemukan pencerahan dan membebaskan dari pikiran negatif.
7. Hindari mengisolasi diri. Menjadi bagian dari komunitas yang saling memberikan dukungan dan bertemu secara teratur dapat sangat membantu kita melewati krisis dan tetap positif.
8. Menjaga keseimbangan diet makanan. Diet dapat memperburuk gejala berbagai penyakit termasuk autisme, skizofrenia, depresi, kecemasan dan serangan panik. Makanan yang dibutuhkan untuk kesehatan mental yang baik adalah buah dan sayuran dan makanan yang mengandung asam lemak esensial, seperti ikan belida, tongkol, labu dan kacang-kacangan. Susu dan coklat juga dipercaya menimbulkan efek menenangkan pikiran.
9. Hindari pornografi. Rangsangan seksual pornografi dapat berkontribusi pada tumbuhnya kekosongan emosional yang dapat menyebabkan depresi, gangguan bipolar serta kesehatan mental lainnya. Hanya hubungan seksual dengan pasangan yang sah dan saling mengasihilah yang dapat mengisi kebutuhan fisik dan emosional kita.
10. Lakukan kegiatan yang membangun rasa percaya diri. Belajar memainkan alat musik seperti piano atau biola, menguasai keterampilan bela diri, mendapatkan hadiah lomba, dll sangat membantu anak-anak membangun rasa percaya diri.
Bila Anda memiliki anggota keluarga yang mengalami masalah kesehatan mental, penting sekali untuk selalu menjaga sikap positif dan tidak menyerah. Jangan mencaci-maki atau mengolok-olok yang membuatnya merasa rendah diri dan mengekalkan perasaan membenci diri sendiri. Hal ini juga berlaku bagi mereka dengan kecenderungan gangguan pola makan. Tunjukkan cinta dan pengertian kepada mereka.
11. Jaga pikiran selalu aktif dengan membaca. Membaca bisa menjadi kegiatan penguatan mental, terutama jika kita fokus pada bacaan yang positif. Berlangganan beberapa majalah atau membeli buku-buku biografi yang mendidik bermanfaat bagi kesehatan mental Anda.
12. Jadilah pribadi yang lebih terorganisir. Hindari menunda-nunda pekerjaan, dan bersihkan dan tatalah harta benda Anda. Singkirkan kekacauan. Buang barang-barang yang tidak terpakai, selesaikan atau delegasikan pekerjaan yang menggantung, dan bila perlu, mintalah bantuan orang lain untuk menyelesaikan PR-PR Anda.
