Just Say 'Thanx God!!!' . . .

Thanx a lot God, U've heard my prays. I'm very surprised when She said something that could me glad. I don't know Ur plans to Us. But i trust that U'd be gave me the best in my life and my vision. It's a big chocolate for me to chewed. It's like a sweet candy. So sweet..............

Sadness >< Happiness

Ya Allah, aku kaget banget pas Dinda bilang kalo si "Nino" passed away. It's make me cry. Hikss..hiks.. Lalu kita pergi ke makamnya, dan kuletakkan beberapa helai daun anggur di atas pusaranya. Ya Allah semoga Nino Kau beri tempat yang layak di surga-Mu...amien.



But, in the otherside . . . , I get some new spirits. Bcoz her parents still give me many support. I'm sure if she's really for me, she'll come back to me. Hopefully, in my prays.

Life Changes

Alhamdulillah ya Allah...beberapa hari terakhir ini aku sudah mulai bisa tersenyum lega, setelah melewati hari-hari berat di pikiran dan hatiku. Dan lagi aku seperti mendapat hawa baru di mana aku berada. Ini benar-benar unbelievable. Aku merasa seperti hidup kembali (kayak lagunya Andra & The Backbone...hehe..). Aku percaya bahwa sikapku tergantung dari pola pikir yang terbentuk dalam rangkaian ganglion otakku, bersinergi dan menjadikanku kuat seperti sekarang ini. Meski kalau teringat masih agak gmn...gitu, tapi ku selalu tersenyum...(nah kalau ini lagunya Tere).

Ku ucapkan terima kasih kepada-Mu Ya Allah, dan juga semua yang ada di sekitarku, baik yang berpengaruh positif maupun negatif, thanx a lots!!!

Memoirs of "Yesterday"

Awalnya aku tahu band ini pas denger lagu Yesterday, dari sebuah cd yang dipinjemin my best friend, yang sekarang sudah Rest In Peace (RIP), his name's Heri Sakti Setia Budi. Dia adalah salah satu drummer terbaikku. Kadang pas suntuk, bete di kelas simak dosen memberi kuliah, kita langsung go to studio musik di kampus. Then...play music! Hehe... Aku bilang waktu itu. Bro, gmn kalo kita coba Yesterday nya, ok? Heri langsung mengiyakan dgn antusias. Come on, let's play! Akhirnya aku dengan menenteng dan memetik guitar, sedangkan Heri sudah nyaman duduk di balik drums set....mengalun :

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Oohhh....My Lord, betapa bahagianya kita saat berhasil memainkan beberapa bar dan bait lagu itu. Rasanya dalem banget. Sampai pd akhirnya, jam menunjukkan kurang lebih pkl 13.00.

Heri bilang, "Tro, yuk maenin yg agak nge-beat!"
Aku jawab, "Yuuu...ukk."

Langsung kugeber gitar dengan intro Are You Gonna Be My Girl-nya JET. Heri antusias, menyambut dengan strumming yang tepat. Subhanallah..., jadi juga ini lagu, pikirku.

Hari semakin sore. Saat kita keluar dari studio, sudah banyak mahasiswa-wi yang masuk sore pada datang.

Kulihat senyum puas pada raut muka Heri, akupun juga, sambil nyeletuk, "Besok lanjutin yah bro?".

Scientology

The word Scientology literally means "the study of truth." It comes from the Latin word "scio" meaning "knowing in the fullest sense of the word" and the Greek word "logos" meaning "study of."

Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, others and all of life. The Scientology religion comprises a body of knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these:

Man is an immortal, spiritual being. His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime. His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized — and those capabilities can be realized. He is able to not only solve his own problems, accomplish his goals and gain lasting happiness, but also achieve new, higher states of awareness and ability.

In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by personally applying its principles and observing or experiencing results.

Through Scientology, people all over the world are achieving the long-sought goal of true spiritual release and freedom.

The aims of Scientology are: "A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights."

Milky Ways

Definition

The term "milky" originates from the hazy band of white light appearing across the celestial sphere visible from Earth, which is comprised of stars and other material lying within the galactic plane. The galaxy appears brightest in the direction of Sagittarius, towards the galactic center. Relative to the celestial equator, the Milky Way passes as far north as the constellation of Cassiopeia and as far south as the constellation of Crux, indicating the high inclination of Earth's equatorial plane and the plane of the ecliptic relative to the galactic plane.The fact that the Milky Way divides the night sky into two roughly equal hemispheres indicates that the solar system lies close to the galactic plane.

The Age

The age of the Galaxy is currently estimated to be about 13.6 billion (109) years, which is nearly as old as the Universe itself.
This estimate is based upon research performed in 2004 by a team of astronomers: Luca Pasquini, Piercarlo Bonifacio, Sofia Randich, Daniele Galli, and Raffaele G. Gratton. The team used the UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph of the Very Large Telescope to measure, for the first time, the beryllium content of two stars in globular cluster NGC 6397. This allowed them to deduce the elapsed time between the rise of the first generation of stars in the entire Galaxy and the first generation of stars in the cluster, at 200 million to 300 million years. By including the estimated age of the stars in the globular cluster (13.4 ± 0.8 billion years), they estimated the age of the Galaxy at 13.6 ± 0.8 billion years.




Structure

As of 2005, the Milky Way is thought to comprise a large barred spiral galaxy of Hubble type SBbc (loosely wound barred spiral). As of 2006, the Milky Way's mass is thought to be about 5.8×1011 M, comprising 200 to 400 billion stars. Its integrated absolute visual magnitude has been estimated to be -21.3.

It was only in the 1980s that astronomers began to suspect that the Milky Way is a barred spiral rather than an ordinary spiral, which observations in 2005 with the Spitzer Space Telescope have since confirmed, showing that the galaxy's central bar is larger than previously suspected.[5]

The galactic disk, which bulges outward at the galactic center, has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light-years. The distance from the Sun to the galactic center is now estimated at 26,000±1400 light-years while older estimates could put our parent star as far as 35000 light-years from the central bulge.

The galactic center harbors a compact object of very large mass (named Sagittarius A), strongly suspected to be a supermassive black hole. Most galaxies are believed to have a supermassive black hole at their center.

As is typical for many galaxies, the distribution of mass in the Milky Way is such that the orbital speed of most stars in the galaxy does not depend strongly on its distance from the center. Away from the central bulge or outer rim, the typical stellar velocity is between 210 and 240 km/s.[6] Hence the orbital period of the typical star is directly proportional only to the length of the path travelled. This is unlike in the solar system where different orbits are also expected to have significantly different velocities associated with them, and is one of the major pieces of evidence for the existence of dark matter.

The galaxy's bar is thought to be about 27,000 light years long, running through the center of the galaxy at a 44±10 degree angle to the line between our sun and the center of the galaxy. It is composed primarily of red stars, believed to be ancient. The bar is surrounded by a ring called the "5-kpc ring" that contains a large fraction of the molecular hydrogen present in the galaxy and most of the Milky Way's star formation activity. Viewed from the Andromeda Galaxy, it would be the brightest feature of the Milky Way.

Each spiral arm describes a logarithmic spiral (as do the arms of all spiral galaxies) with a pitch of approximately 12 degrees. There are believed to be four major spiral arms which all start at the Galaxy's center. These are named as follows, according to the image at right:

• 2 and 8 - 3kpc and Perseus Arm
  
• 3 and 7 - Norma and Cygnus Arm (Along with a newly discovered extension - 6)
  
• 4 and 10 - Crux and Scutum Arm
  
• 5 and 9 - Carina and Sagittarius Arm

Around The Milky Ways

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are a binary system of giant spiral galaxies. Together with their companion galaxies they form the Local Group, a group of some 50 closely bound galaxies. The Local Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster.

The Milky Way is orbited by two smaller galaxies and a number of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. The largest of these is the Large Magellanic Cloud with a diameter of 20,000 light years. It has a close companion, the Small Magellanic Cloud. The Magellanic Stream is a peculiar streamer of neutral hydrogen gas connecting these two small galaxies. The stream is thought to have been dragged from the Magellanic Clouds in tidal interactions with the Milky Way. Some of the dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way are Canis Major Dwarf (the closest), Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy, Ursa Minor Dwarf, Sculptor Dwarf, Sextans Dwarf, Fornax Dwarf, and Leo I Dwarf. The smallest Milky Way dwarf galaxies are only 500 light years in diameter. These include Carina Dwarf, Draco Dwarf, and Leo II Dwarf. There may still be undetected dwarf galaxies, which are dynamically bound to the Milky Way. Observations through the zone-of-avoidance are frequently detecting new distant and nearby galaxies. Some galaxies consisting mostly of gas and dust may also have evaded detection so far.

Hard Days

Sejak masuk di station baru, otomatis aku menjumpai berbagai hal-hal baru, baik itu positif maupun negatif. Meski aku baru beberapa bulan OA di sini, jujur aku sangat senang banget. Karena di sini aku dapat belajar berbagi banyak hal. Seperti how to make a news, how to read a report, and many more. Begitu juga dengan person yang aku jumpai sehari-hari, otomatis aku masuk menjadi sebuah bagian dari keluarga besar ini. Dan aku juga bahagia banget, sebab di sini aku begitu diperlakukan secara layak, seperti orang-orang yang ada di sekitarku. Dan untuk itulah aku juga berusaha menghormati, menghargai mereka seperti yang mereka lakukan kepadaku. Satu saat aku berada pada situasi di mana aku tidak tahu-menahu tentang yang mereka bicarakan. Sampai pada suatu saat, "seseorang" membicarakannya....masya Allah!!! Aku kaget, sejenak terhenyak bercampur tanda tanya besar. Apakah ini akhir dari survive-ku di sini atau inikah yang dinamakan persaingan? Aku masih mencari jawaban itu, baik dalam sendiri dan ramaiku, bahkan dalam suka dan sedihku, sebab di saat aku deep down, seseorang yang selama ini kupertahankan dan kubanggakan akhirnya meninggalkanku bagai anak ayam yang kehilangan induk dan siap disantap oleh 10 ekor alap-alap yang telah mengintainya...Subhanallah. Hari-hari beratku semakin terasa dalam saat "seseorang" itu men-judge ku as the big candidate for this case. AKu berusaha tabah, tegar dan yakin bahwa Idon't know about anything and Ido nothing, so Allah will give helpness for me...yes I believe it! Days by days, hours by hours, I become deep in my prays. I want to know who has done it! Finally, temanku di sini juga yang bilang bahwa case closed. Beberapa detik ku tertegun, Alhamdulillah...everything is gonna be alright. But, in the otherside I still feel confuse, complicated, sink in my mind and heart. Ohh...my Lord, I trust if she's my soulmate, she 'll come back again to me.


                          


  

Deep Heart

U know if we have a feeling that could be felt down, silent, and be alone in every time, it's indicated that U've a Broken Heart. Yuppz!,broken heart is the human nature's feeling who's just get broke in their life or perhaps just separated with their beloved or else. But U can be strong n get some spirit to continue Ur life by Urself. 

I have it a few weeks ago. I feel lost n confuse. It's unbelievable! I think. Everything are just in vein. I sink in my mind at the moment. Fortunately, I have some people who loves me so much. They are very kind, honest, n always support me in my deep down conditions. I whisper in my holy prays "Thanx God, U've gave me them for along time, till now". 

Now, I wake up from my deep down life. Let it be gone. I can smile again, n in my days become cheers. It's all because of My Lord, friends, partner, n my fans.

I trust, that's the mistery of God to Us. So, don't look back in anger and sad. Everything will be fine, but it depends on the people.

Tortoise

Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines (the crown group of the superorder Chelonia), most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs. "Turtle" may either refer to the Testudines as a whole, or to particular Testudines which make up a form taxon that is not monophyletic — see also sea turtle, terrapin, tortoise, and the discussion below.

The order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than lizards and snakes. About 300 species are alive today, and some are highly endangered.

Like other reptiles, turtles are ectotherms — varying their internal temperature according to the ambient environment, commonly called cold-blooded. Like other amniotes (reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals), they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water. The largest turtles are aquatic.
