UNTUK KU: yang tidak pernah melihat jalannya

Untuk Mustaqim

meski langit sudah mengadah, dan

hamparan tanah menganga

setidaknya,

bangku – bangku kosong tetap mencari

jentik jemari mu untuk singgah semestinya

setelah sudah, maupun

sebelum kini.

Untuk Yeni

tahu?

pejantan merak pemilik bulu terindah?

dari gumpalan kepercayaan yang berbalik 360 derajat

tanpa siku,

tanpa sudut yang menyatakan bahwa aku adalah saya

meski dari poros,

setidaknya,

slot – slot kosong di rongga matamu, tetap

mengisi boklam 1 watt

untuk yakin

untuk melodi yang tidak akan pernah diaransement

Untuk Maya

tidak banyak

pola – pola yang diselubungi sekat transparan

dari celah kata

dari retakan sikap yang kasat mata

meski asap hitam jarang menelusuri pipa atap rumah

setidaknya,

awan putih tidak sembarangan meraupi

bulir air, ataupun

jernihnya nalar di belakang punggungmu.

Untuk Madkur

kerap kali

ku titi lidah

ku resapi tingkah

dalam sisi mata uang yang tidak pernah berubah

untuk meninggikan pondasi

bias dari tenangnya kubangan diri,

meski kokoh

tanpa serat –serat prasangka

tanpa dugaan yang ternyata

bergeser satu senti dari caganya

setidaknya,

empedu tetap pahit

jantung tetap segenggam tangan

dalam yakin mu

lusuh pada bilasan terakhir.

Untuk Etika

kutemukan

sekuntum bunga matahari di kerumunan ilalang

tunggal

tanpa batang – batang yang menguning, ataupun

rintihan di ujung purnama

meski miris,

dalam kurun,

kelopak mu kan sejajar

setidaknya,

atap tak kan berasa saing di jalan

untuk pelanggaran di nisan emosi

hanya keras mu

bahkan rapuh mu.

Untuk Karmawan

terdengar

kocokan adonan kue di teras belakang

tambah mentega, dan

mengembang dalam pemanggang yang,

tertumpu di pantul jendela,

untuk cermin,

untuk laparnya lambung

meski setengah porsi,

setidaknya,

tapak mu berbagi,

di atas kerikil hitam

di belakang pagar, rimbun

benih mawar merah.

Untuk Dzulhan

sempat terbesit

lakon yang tak pernah sejajar

akan Arjuna dan Rahwana

dalam kesekian kalinya

tanpa script

bukan dalam improvisasi, namun

hanya deskripsi yang mungkin tak kunjung sama

setidaknya,

goresan pena menuntun

tak kan pudar,

tak kan membaris paragraph,

untuk lanjut

untuk mendua tanpa usai.

Untuk Siswati

tiap kayuh

tunjuk cemas seakan membungkus

tiap lirik mata yang gagap, juga

ingin yang tetap tertata di kotak kecil mu,

untuk nanti,

untuk hasrat yang jarang bertepi,

meski lamban,

tanpa tumpuan di sisi pundak,

setidaknya,

jerujimu,

tetap menjaga bulatnya roda,

sekarang,

jua sekarang.

Untuk Lily

ingat,

bisingnya dengkuran kucing

tak terhampiri luapan tawa

meski gembira,

meski sedih, ataupun

rendahnya plaket yang sekalipun tak diterima

akan jauh,

akan tertimbun di memori lama,

setidaknya,

dalam singgung,

pencernaan yang tak selamanya utuh,

kini,

angin malam sempat berteduh

membisiki kelamnya pagi hari.

Untuk Tantri

hanya saja,

anggap yang tak selalu terekam

puing yang jarang terpasang

karna butiran, bahkan

laguna yang terpisah dari lautan

meski fakta mu

melebihi lapisan sungging terekat padat

setidaknya,

satu fase layak terlewati

untuk paham mu

hinggap di rentan batas mu.

Untuk Dian

kenapa tidak,

menggigit daging dengan gerahammu

mungkin sedikit berbeda,

antara rasa dan usaha,

dari rajut yang tak pernah terurai, nantinya

keningmu kan merengut

menjelajahi dimensi yang tak hinggap

setidaknya,

dengan kunci di kelingkingmu

kau tahu,

ada batasan yang membuka, baik

dalam mu,

di saat ungkapmu.

Untuk Yusi

saat sadar,

merpati coba tuk keluar dari sangkarnya,

meski terbuka,

tipuan tetap saja bersilat,

untuk tubuh yang tak lagi berbaris,

dengan tali,

setidaknya,

anganmu menunjuk arah,

membatasi ruang yang tak lagi sempit,

diri mu

dengan harga mu.

Untuk Anita

tidak ada,

kesan yang mengundang dalam nostalgia sempat,

untuk hal yang mungkin tak lagi terungkap

jadi ini,

kau pun seserahan dalam runtuhnya hujan,

untuk tetap,

meski sedikit,

setidaknya,

peron – peron tahu, kapan

kereta kan berkunjung di sempat waktu.

Untuk Diriku

meski hanya bermain kembang api,

akhirnya terbakar juga,

meski hanya bermain cipratan air,

akhirnya basah kuyup juga,

meski hanya ragu tak berharga menyusup di cerobong nalar ini,

akhirnya jatuh juga, dan

dari sejuta ungkapan yang sudah dipelajari,

akhirnya paham juga,

tentang malam, dan

siang hari yang tak tergantikan,

oleh jamah, bukan

sembari yang tak penting di telusuri akan silsilah waktu,

dan dari durjana yang meresapi pori – pori nista ini,

semoga dalam senyap ini,

semua kan menjadi metamorfosa,

bukan prematur.

Arabic Poetries

أغير عليك

maGed moURad adLy

لو إني أغير عليك مِن كل مَن يُعجب بكِ و يحبك ,
لكنت أغير عليك من كل مَن عَرفك و لمح طيفك و سحر جمالك .
و هذا يسبب لي جنوناً..وأنا في غني عنه.. فكفي لي جنون حبك .
فأنا أغير عليكِ من شعاع الضوء المنعكس مِن عيني لعينيكِ
بالرغم من كونه سبباً لتبصريني ,
وأغير عليكِ من نسمة الهواء المُنقل لصوتي و كلماتي لأذنيك
بالرغم من كونه سبباً لتسمعيني .
فكفي لي أن أبصرك أنا , و كفي لي أن أراك أنا .
فأنا في ثقة من كونك مُبصرة إياي في قلبك و إنصاتك لي في سكوتك
... أي .. أغير عليك ِ من نفسي ,
و لكن بحثاٌ عن الكمال في حبك أُمسك نفسي و أحث عقلي علي أن يثبت في مكانه مُقنعاً إياه بأن الامتثال في الغيرة عليكِ هو أن... أغير عليكِ من الذي يحبك و يصون هواكِ أكثر مِني .

الادب

لعمرك انى أرى الجهالة
فى أعين الناس حاميها
بشر كأنهم اطياف وهم
ورمح بلا سهم يداويها
ان قلت يا نفس كفى
حالت دون ذلك ماسيها
من ذا الذى يظن انه
بغير الحلم والعلم يغنيها
هى الاخلاق وان ضاعت
فمن ذا الذى يبنيها
تمضى بنا الايام دوما
فيها كل شئ يكفيها
وجروح فى القلب كنت
اظن يوما انى ناسيها
ادب وان قلت للبراءة
كونى بلسما يواسيها
رايت الوجم والاحزان
فى دنيا القهر يبكيها
كأنها المنايا قد ابحرت
فى كأس المر لعلها تشفيها
تسابق الالام والاحزان
والاحلام ان ماتت من يحييها
وحنان من عيون تتجلى
فى ساعة الفجر اكاد اخفيها
ليت القلوب تعلم انها
ربا الاخلاص وسلما يوازيها
جالت فى خاطرى ذكرى
من حنين وظنون كنت اواريها
ورؤى من جنان الخلد
تحلوا فى ضحى الليل اسقيها

كلامك كدب

للشاعر moustafa

كنت بتأسى وتقتل فيا عمري مشفت معاك حنية
كنت تقلي باني حبيبك وإني دواك وإني طبيبك
لية تسبني وتجني عليا دانت بقيت فنن عنيا
لية تقلي إنساني خلاص لية الظلم فين الإخلاص
حسيت نبر كلامك انك مش ليا
أنا انسان وكلي إحساس لما حبيتك كان إخلاص
لاكن انت بموت إحساسك كنت تقولي إني انفاسك
كنت تقولي الدنيا خلاص علشاني بعت كلام الناس
كنت تقلي هتنسى الدنيا هتبقى معايا مش تبعد ثانية
وانا كان لازم اعرف كدبك وكلامك ملهش اثاث

Tu Recuerdo by Ricky Martin

(Chorus)
Tu recuerdo sigue aqui, como un aguacero
Rompe fuerte sobre mi, pero a fuego lento
Quema y moja por igual, y ya no se lo que pensar
Si tu recuerdo me hace bien o me hace mal

(1st verse- Ricky Martin)
Un beso gris, un beso blanco
Todo depende del lugar
Que yo me fui, eso esta claro
Pero tu recuerdo no se va
Siento tus labios en las noches de verano
Ahi estan, cuidandome en mi soledad
Pero a veces me quieren matar

Tu recuerdo sigue aqui (repeat chorus)

(2nd verse- Chambao)
A veces gris, a veces blanco
Todo depende del lugar
Que tu te fuiste, eso es pasado
Se que te tengo que olvidar
Pero yo le puse ena velita a to' mis santos
ahi esta, pa' que pienses mucho en mi
no dejes de pensar en mi

Tu recuerdo sigue aqui...(Repeat chorus)

(Piensa en mi) es antidoto y veneno al corazon
(te hace bien) que quema y moja, que viene y va
(tu donde estas?) atrapado entre los versos y el adios


Tu recuerdo sigue aqui
Como aguacero de Mayo
rompe fuerte sobre mi
y cae tan fuerta que hasta me quema hasta la piel
Quema y moja por igual
y ya no se lo que pensar
si tu recuerdo me hace bien o me hace mal

Tu recuerdo sigue aqui
Le lo lay lelo lelo
Rompe fuerte sobre mi
Pero que rompe, rompe el corazon
Quema moja por igual, Se que te tengo que olvidar
si tu recuerdo me hace bien y me hace ma

Small Talk: Conversation Starters

Talking about the weather	Beautiful day, isn't it? Can you believe all of this rain we've been having? It looks like it's going to snow. It sure would be nice to be in Hawaii right about now. I hear they're calling for thunderstorms all weekend. We couldn't ask for a nicer day, could we? How about this weather? Did you order this sunshine?
Talking about current events	Did you catch the news today? Did you hear about that fire on Fourth St? What do you think about this transit strike? I read in the paper today that the Sears Mall is closing. I heard on the radio today that they are finally going to start building the new bridge. How about those Reds? Do you think they're going to win tonight?
At the office	Looking forward to the weekend? Have you worked here long? I can't believe how busy/quiet we are today, can you? Has it been a long week? You look like you could use a cup of coffee. What do you think of the new computers?
At a social event	So, how do you know Justin? Have you tried the cabbage rolls that Sandy made? Are you enjoying yourself? It looks like you could use another drink. Pretty nice place, huh? I love your dress. Can I ask where you got it?
Out for a walk	How old's your baby? What's your puppy's name? The tulips are sure beautiful at this time of year, aren't they. How do you like the new park? Nice day to be outside, isn't it?
Waiting somewhere	I didn't think it would be so busy today. You look like you've got your hands full (with children or goods). The bus must be running late today. It looks like we are going to be here a while, huh? I'll have to remember not to come here on Mondays. How long have you been waiting?

Duck-Billed Dinosaurs "Outgrew" Their Predators

Talk about being a big baby. The duck-billed dinosaur Hypacrosaurus grew three to five times faster than the fearsome predators that hunted it, reaching its full size by age ten, according to a new study.

Unlike other plant-eating dinosaurs, duckbills such as Hypacrosaurus didn't have piercing horns, dagger-like teeth, or hulking body armor.

So the ability to grow bigger faster provided the animals with a size advantage that likely served them well in their early years.

For example, baby duckbills were probably about the same size as Tyrannosaurus rex hatchlings, said study co-author Drew Lee of Ohio University's College of Osteopathic Medicine.

But by five years old the duckbill would be the size of a grown cow, while the T. rex would be only as big as a large dog.

"It's harder to hunt a larger animal, because it's physically dangerous," said study co-author Lisa Noelle Cooper of Kent State University and the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine.

"Growing Like Crazy"

Duck-billed dinosaurs, or hadrosaurs, were diverse and abundant in the late Cretaceous period, about 70 million years ago.

The soft-bodied animals flourished in what is now North America alongside many different meat-eating, two-legged dinosaurs known as theropods. (See a picture of the diversity of life in the Cretaceous.)

By counting and measuring rings in fossil leg bones, the researchers compared growth rates for Hypacrosaurus and three common theropods: the tyrannosaurs Albertosaurus and T. rex and the small velociraptor-like Troodon.

As with trees, each ring in the fossil bones represents a year of life. The wider the ring, the more growth occurred that year.

Day and Night

http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/time-day-night.htm

There are 24 hours in a day. The day is divided into "day(time)" and "night(-time)". Daytime is from sunrise (this varies, but we can say approximately 6am) to sunset (we can say approximately 6pm). Night-time is from sunset to sunrise.

Every day starts precisely at midnight. AM (Ante-Meridiem = before noon) starts just after midnight. PM (Post-Meridiem=after noon) starts just after midday. This means that 12am and 12pm have no meaning.

This diagram shows the cycle of a 24-hour day and the words we use to describe its parts. The day starts at midnight (at the bottom of the diagram).

The word day can have two meanings: 1. the 24 hours between one midnight and the next 2. the time between sunrise and sunset (as distinct from night)

A PROFILE OF THE SUCCESSFUL LANGUAGE LEARNING

(James W. Ramsay, “Basic Skills for Academic Reading”, Page 112)

Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.

First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.

Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the languages; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept the information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn form them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.

What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.

Answer the question!

1. What makes language learning easier for some people than others, according to this text?
2. How do successful language learners languages?
3. Why do successful language learners find it easy to practice using the language regularly?
4. “If your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.” What does this sentence mean?

Dan kami pecahkan berkeping – keping,

Dan mencampurkan kepingan dengan air,

Aku ada dalam tanah liatmu.

Kau dalam tanah liat ku.

Dalam kematian kita berbagi peti mayat.

Kuan Tao-Sheng

Cinta adalah menghargai perbedaan, keanehan, dan keunikan orang lain, tanpa menuntut mereka menjadi “normal” seperti kita

Bunyikanlah bel yang masih berdering.

Lupakan tawaranmu yang sempurna.

Senantiasa ada celah di mana saja.

Lewat celah itulah cahaya menyusup ke dalam.

Leonardo Cohen

Jangan terlalu banyak memberi cahaya kepada jiwa

Orang selalu mengetahui misteri seseorang dengan mengorbankan

ketidak berdosaan seseorang.

SUMMARY OF HIV*

(*Submitted to individual assignment of Reading Two. Subject is guided by Umi Yawisah, M. Hum)

At first, you should understand that AIDS and HIV are definitely different. Though they are frequently connected as a phrase “HIV-AIDS”, it doesn’t mean that they are alike. However, AIDS is a set of symptoms and infections resulting from damage to the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Now, it is obvious that HIV and AIDS are distinct. AIDS refers to the illness name and HIV refers to the virus that causes it. In addition, it can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system and makes the individual, who is infected, easily forced by tumors. It is also transmitted through direct contact of a mocus membrane of the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre seminal fluid, and breast milk.

Up to now, there is no currently vaccine or cure. The treatment for AIDS and HIV just can slow the course of the disease.

HIV

(HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS)

To identify that someone is suspected of HIV, his venous blood is firstly examined, because the virus is transmitted through the bloodstream. In some laboratories, HIV-detection uses “Fourth Generation” screening test that detects anti-HIV antibody (IgG and IgM) and the HIV p24 antigen. If s/he is identified of HIV infection, after having test, s/he will get the second test to prove the first test is positive. However, there is another effective test called “Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)” that is faster to find HIV in the bloodstream. HIV infections to AIDS occur at medium of between nine to ten years.

HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, body fluids, and from mother fetus or child during prenatal period (childbirth and breast milk). They are the three major of HIV transmission based on the chart below.

Estimated per act risk for acquisition of HIV by exposure route[75]
Exposure Route	Estimated infections per 10,000 exposures to an infected source
Blood Transfusion	9,000[76]
Childbirth	2,500[50]
Needle-sharing injection drug use	67[77]
Percutaneous needle stick	30[78]
Receptive anal intercourse*	50[79][80]
Insertive anal intercourse*	6.5[79][80]
Receptive penile-vaginal intercourse*	10[79][80][81]
Insertive penile-vaginal intercourse*	5[79][80]
Receptive oral intercourse*§	1[80]
Insertive oral intercourse*	0.5[80]§
* assuming no condom use § source refers to oral intercourse performed on a man

In order to avoid the risk of HIV infection through those three major transmissions, we should find the general preventions out.

1. Sexual Contact

Though HIV infections are acquired through unprotected sexual, it doesn’t effect if the partner has no HIV. However, if s/he has it, in sexual contact, using condom will decrease the risk of HIV transmission by 80 %.

There are two kinds of condom, for male and female. The general male condom is made from latex. The expert told the costumer not to use this condom with several lubricants such as petroleum jelly, butter, and lard. The using of those lubricants can make it dissolved. It decreases the latex resistance from absorption. In the other hand, the general male condom is made from polyurethane. It is larger then male condom and is very rare to get.

It is also said that the male circumcision lowers the risk of HIV infection, especially among heterosexual men, by up to 60 %.

2. Exposure To Infected Body Fluids

Generally, drug use, which using sharp object like needles, is the possibly way for HIV to get in the blood. When you wear gloves, mask, protective eyewear, you should wash your skin, which directly contacts them after, to reduce the chance of infection. Moreover, when you commit drug abuse, needle-exchange is a good strategy to reduce infection (recommended).

3. Mother – To – Child – Transmission (MTCT)

If the mother is infected, she must not give the baby breast milk although it ought to give during the first month after be born.

However, there is no vaccine or cure for HIV up to now. Post – exposure prophylaxis (PEP), an antiretroviral treatment directly after a highly significant exposure, is the only method of prevention based on avoiding exposure to the virus or, failing that. Nevertheless, there is antiviral therapy to keep the infected person’s life long, such as HAART, which contains NARTIs and NNRTI. In fact, that HIV infection will reach the climax between nine to ten years, but by consuming HAART can longer life time by between 4 and 12 years. Even acupuncture can decrease the infection but it cannot cure it. The data also shows that multivitamin and mineral supplements might reduce HIV progression especially for adult.

However, anti-retroviral drugs are expensive, and the majority of the world's infected individuals do not have access to medications and treatments for HIV and AIDS.

The most important medicine is psychological therapies. Though the therapies have little effect on the mortality or morbidity of the disease, but may improve the quality of life of individuals living with AIDS in order to keep survive longer. It means that they, the infected people, need our attention to encourage and support them to keep optimism of being alive.

ISA PUTRA MARYAM

(Winning LMCPI 1 [Lomba Menulis Cerpen dan Puisi Islami] LDK STAIN Metro 2007)

Kulantunkan ayat

Kulafadzkan tiap surat – Mu

Gulungan kisah mengisi tiap baris kosong.

Para Nabi diceritakan di tempat aku mengiang lidah pasiku

Kisah sepasang darah.

Ibrahim menggorok Ismail, atau Nuh mengasihi Qanaan

begitu pula Zakaria berbuah Yahya.

Maka, kurindukan kisah Isa putra saudara perempuan Harun.[1]

Perempuan suci

Perempuan tanpa sekat lelaki.

Maka, kuceritakan padamu kisah orok Nabi, orok dari tabir roh – Nya.

Di penjelmaan, di manusia.[2] Di pengasingan dan berbadan dua.

Bumi yang menyuapi

berteriak berzikir di atas orok merah yang baru saja

menghirup angin sesaat

Angin yang mengantar Maryam ke kaumnya.

Angin yang mengatup bibir duanya.

Lalu, bersilatlah lidah mereka. Lidah para durjana akan orok yang berilah.

Ilah yang di otak ciut mereka beranak. Di saat ini,

di saat lidah mereka saling menghujam.

“Duh Gusti! Di mana Isa putra Maryam? Orok yang mengilahikan Kau di depan kaumnya.

Ingin rasanya aku melantukan kisah ini untuk mereka.

Kisah Isa, Putra Maryam.”

---

[1] Maryam dipanggil ‘saudara perempuan Harun’ oleh kaumnya, karena ia seorang wanita yang shaleh seperti kesalehan Nabi Harun a.s

[2] Dijelaskan di dalam Al Quran surat Maryam bahwa malaikat Jibril mendatangi Maryam dengan menjelma di hadapannya dengan wujud manusia yang sempurna.
