Happy Ied Fitr

Happy Ied Fitr everyone...I know...I know...I say it earlier than should be. I said it early because I know that in that day, I must be very busy so I can't even post anything in this blog. It must be a hectic day. Keke...

Anyways, since Lebaran is coming through, I'll post something that related to this season. Actually, in my calender, Lebaran should be tomorrow. But, in the fact, Lebaran will be the day after tomorrow. Well, there's a reason why Lebaran is delayed until the day after tomorrow. In Islamic Calender, Ied Fitr coincides with 1 Syawal. But, how do we determine 1 Syawal? Well, this is the critical point.

Keke, I've found a good read article lately...Here you go. Read it. So, you can pull out your own conclusions about Ied Fitr. And yes! Ied Fitr is different than another feast...To determine it, required some difficult efforts. We can't arbitrarily determine on which day Ied Fitr should be celebrated.

Ah, and there are some opinions about fasting in the 'day-which-some-people-believe-is-Ied-Fitr'...maybe you'll ask, "jadi, besok gue puasa atau nggak ya? kan lebarannya lusa tapi besok udah ada yang lebaran" or maybe "besok haram nggak yah puasa? soalnya nggak yakin kapan tepatnya 1 syawal tiba" or even "daripada haram, mendingan besok nggak usah puasa. nggak apa-apa bolong satu daripada haram". Well, guys, those all are opinions. You don't have to take it as what it should be. Just do as you pleased. Do as you believed. Oh, I've found good answer from one of my friends, he said, "Kalo yakin 1 Syawalnya rabu ya besok gak haram puasa, malah wajib karena masih 30 Ramadhan. Kalo yakin 1 Syawal besok baru haram utk puasa."

So, if you, guys, believe that Ied Fitr will be held on Tuesday, you may not fast on that day because tomorrow is 1 Syawal (based on what you believe), but If you believe that Wednesday is 1 Syawal, you have to fast tomorrow because tomorrow still Ramadhan 30th (still, based on what you believe). See? It's all about faith...

Anyhow, hope it may be useful for you all folks...Happy Ied Fitr everyone...Bye bye Ramadhan and Welcome Syawal! Please, forgive me for every mistakes I've made. Minal Aidin Wal Faidzin...Amin...

Felt Fabric Dolls

Ahoy folks!
How was your fasting lately? Have your fasting ever 'bolong'? I hope you still keep your commitment to have a month full of fasting! Anyway, these days I do really really really have nothing to do. I do have so much spare time. Sooo, I always find myself things to do. Haha.
Today, My dad and I were shopping while my mom had quality time with her friends...But, I won't post how my day goes by today. Things I wanna share the most is about my felt fabric hand made doll. Since I made mr. brocca and ms. whitpy, I keep trying to make it better and I've just realized that I've created some dolls during my spare time. My creativity to made it is increasing...well, I guess. I made it in shorter time than before. I made 4 dolls in 3 hours. Oaaaahhh...I do appreciate myself *applause please.
I won't talk too much. You, guys, may enjoy the picts...

What do you, guys, think? I hope people like it. Well, actually I plan to make this kind of doll and give it to my friends. Also, I do plan to advertise these dolls to people...Do you think people want to buy this kind of doll? Do you think these dolls are capable to be sold? How much price I should tag to these dolls? Aaaahhh...I should consul this matter to my accountant (*red. my brother).

Mom's words

New Look

Since I can't slept last night, I try to recreate my blog. Well, and it turns into this. What do you, guys, think? Is it sweet? I made this based on my heart feel. This blog seems more feminine than before, right?

my blog's new look

I just wanna let you all know that I'd try a lot, spread my efforts a lot, to change my image in front of people. I just wanna leave my old me. But, just like my mother said (which she always say over and over and over and over again), "Past...memories...are something that cannot be change and forget 'cause those all are your life...it is a part of your life that cannot be erase..." 

Oh, mom...you always say such a thing. Tiny little words but big massive huge effects for my life.

Besides, since my holiday ends next month (which can makes me very very very bored with this kind of activities) I wanna make my day full of arts, photos, and social activities. Well, today's such a lazy day for me. I'm too lazy to tidy up my room, go to my bathroom to take a shower, I'm too tired to wake up in the morning or even to get up from my bed and leave my pillow...

Btw, I haven't said that this month is Ramadhan. and not long to go, Lebaran will come! Happy fasting for y'all...(actually, since I have my period, I'm not fasting today)
