SEMANGAT HIJRAH DI TAHUN BARU HIJRIYAH 1 MUHARAM 1439 H

Tidak ada "orang baik" yang tidak punya masa lalu,
Dan tidak ada "orang jahat" yang tidak punya masa depan.

Setiap orang memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk berubah menjadi lebih baik.

Bagaimanapun masa lalunya dahulu, sekelam apa lingkungannya dulu, dan seburuk apa perangainya di masa lampau.

Berilah kesempatan seseorang untuk berubah.

Karena, seseorang yang "hampir membunuh Rasul" pun kini berbaring di sebelah makam beliau. : Umar bin Khattab.

The pontianak (Dutch-Indonesian spelling: boentianak, Jawi: ڤونتيانق) is a female vampiric ghost in Malaysian and Indonesian mythology. It is also known as a matianak or kuntilanak, sometimes shortened to kunti. Pontianak is called Churel, or Churayl, in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. The pontianak are said to be the spirits of women who died while pregnant. This is despite the fact that the earliest recordings of pontianaks in Malay lore describe the ghost as originating from a stillborn chil

College applications have always been a nightmare for prospective students and parents alike. This is true, especially when writing the college application essay - it’s considered a major hurdle to joining college. Those who have been asked to write it can relate to the cloud of anxiety that engulfs them as they realize how clueless they are on how to write the essay. This anxiety is not unfounded as these applications are serious business. Picture it as an interview where you’re being asked to

Once a lady member of EC gave the plot of this story to me.  She told me that this based on the actual events.  She asked me to write a story based on this plot.  She is not active anymore here.  I am posting this blog once again for the interest of the readers.

So another year has gone. I became one more year older, but my heart still beats even having undergone an opened heart surgery for ASD (atrial septal defect - mending of a hole in the heart) years ago.  I still feel the pounding of blood in my veins. Even after so many years of struggles, prays, ponderings I still could not kill the devil within me. Still, sins and wrong deeds occurred. I still could not keep the ablution of my eyes intact. Though I turn my eyes away, but could not close the inn

Did you know that enneacontakaienneagon is actually a word in the English language? (And you thought pronouncing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was difficult?!). In fact, the meaning of the word is just as bizarre as the word itself: it’s a shape with 99 sides! Now, who would come up with such a word and make sure it ends up in the Oxford Dictionary? No idea!
English may seem like a simple, less complex language when compared to others, but that’s probably because most people don’t know about

Second Example:

I don't know the name of this dish in English but we (my family) call it "M'yasna pidlyvka z shparagivkoyu"
