Today is the last day of Ramadhan. It's feel different when you do your Ramadhan activities in non-Moslem's country. But I try my best. So, I hope Allah can receive all my worship along this Ramadhan.

Manusia memang tempatnya khilaf dan salah,

mohon maaf atas segala kesalahan yang pernah Sa perbuat kepada teman-teman semua.

Mohon dengan segala kerendahan hati untuk bersedia memaafkan dan melupakannya.

Semoga Allah menerima segala amal ibadah kita di bulan Ramadhan ini

dan berkenan mempertemukan kita dengan Ramadhan-Nya tahun depan.

Ya Allah, aku mohon kepada-Mu, agar Engkau menjadikan

sebaik-baik umur kami pada akhirnya,

sebaik-baik amal pada penutupannya,

sebaik-baik hari-hari kami adalah hari saat bertemu dengan-Mu.

Story: paper cranes watching Japanese drama. This is the last scene from todays episode of 素直になれなくて　[Sunao ni narenakute] with tagline - Hard to say I love you -

The title of drama, "Sunao ni narenakute" means "not going to be honest". I love the actors and the story. I always like Ueno Juri and Eita`s drama. Start with Nodame Cantabile, Last Friends, and so on.

The story is just about simple daily life, how people have to battle with him/herself to just being honest. Honest have risk, but when you choose to take that risk, in the end, it can make you feel better. I think, when we choose not to be honest, actually, it just hurt our own heart.

I`m not wealth, then family and friends become the most precious things in my life. Sometimes it`s break my heart when I make them disappointed. So I try my best to not let this happen. And the scariest thing in my life is when your family/friend turns to be your enemy. I will try anything I can to fix this kind of situations. But if it doesn`t works, the best I can do is pray to The One Who Own the Heart to turn his/her heart then he/she can forgive everything wrong that I ever done.
