"Measure Of A Man"

If one day you discover him
Broken down he's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not
The woman at his side is all that he has got
Why do you ask him move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up
To be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give you
Was three words wrapped around your finger
Would that be deep enough at the end of every day
And how will you ever know
If a man is what he says?

Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth
Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up to be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

He never gives up
Lets go of his dream
His world goes around for his one true belief
Is that how you know
Is that what it means?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
Would he will be your anchor when the dark unfolds
Would he always love you the best that he knows?

Would he give his life up
To be all that he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up
To be all he can

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure oh...

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure a man?

This song should make a girl think. How much do you need for him to prove his love?
How much someone would have to do to prove his worth? to prove that he really wants it?
I dunno.
I just think that everybody deserves second chances. We are not perfect.
If you love him enough, you'd give him a chance to prove himself.
I really don't like the way some people complaining about their significant other, saying that he is not rich, do not have high education, do not have a sports car..etcetera etcetera...
My question is: if you have so many complaints, why be with him anyway?
Break up, find someone else. That person sure deserves somebody who appreciates them.
Like my friend said:

if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best

Hahaha, padan muka. Baru tau...
Like I always said, be honest.
if you don't love that person enough to be respectful, you should just call it quits. Why go on? No sense in that.
You expect this person to do everything for your sake, to always put you first. You ask so much but give nothing.
Is that love?
Please be realistic. You could only hope for the best.
If that person tried with all his might, given it all he can, but still failed...then what?
It is good enough that the person tried. Well, i think so anyway.

Life is like a wheel they say, sometimes up and sometimes down

...but for me it doesn't mean that we won't have a flat tyre sometimes ;) hehe
so the past week I've been quite down, but I can't quite place my emotions. Why am I feeling this way? Usually I was quite motivated. But suddenly today, this sunny Sunday, the day was so beautiful that I just couldn't help but smile for no apparent reason.
Hahaha, happy for no apparent reason. But why do we need to know the reason anyway? It's enough that we're happy :)
Hope it's a beautiful Sunday for you too!

I've always thought that the world is so big to just be stuck at one place.
I want to go out and see the world!
There is so much that we've never seen, never done, never felt.
So much possibilities waiting to happen, so much opportunities will come knocking, so much tears to be shed and so much laughter to be shared.
Haven't you wondered how the ancient civilizations of Egypt able to build such wonders like the Great Pyramids?
How the great Nile flows through history and is still with us today? How was it in the past?
How the Japanese survive the atom bomb but still managed to emerge as a major power of the world today?
These are just some of the questions that can only be satisfactorily answered when it's experienced first hand.
Reading the histories of people that made history and shape our reality today, haven't you wondered how was it like?
I do, I do, I do.
I wonder how does it feel to be in the middle of a desert during a starry night. How would the soft sand dunes shift? How would the wind feel caressing your face?
I wonder how it feels to be in an ice cave at the Antarctic? How would the icicles reflect the rays of the sun and lighten up the dark cave?
I wonder how it feels when cruising on a gondola moving softly side to side on canals moving its way under old bridges in Venice?
I wonder... so much.
Anyone want to come?

Doa Nabi Muhammad s.a.w ketika gagal memasuki Kota Thaif

Ya Allah,

saya mengadukan kepada-Mu lemahnya kekuatan diriku,

sangat terbatasnya kecerdasanku dan kehinaan diriku atas manusia,

dengan rahmat Engkau, Ya Allah,

Tuhan pemelihara sekalian alam.

Engkaulah pemelihara sekalian orang-orang dhaif,

Engkaulah Tuhanku.

Kepada siapakah Engkau menyerahkan aku?

Kepada orang asing yang mengusir aku,

Atau kepada musuh yang menguasai urusanku?

Tetapi meskipun demikian saya redha,

Asal saja Engkau tidak memurkai aku.

Kemaafan-Mu lebih besar dari dosaku,

Saya meminta dengan Nur Zat-Mu yang menerangi semua kegelapan,

Dan dengan-Nya menjadi baik segala urusan dunia dan akhirat,

Semoga aku tidak tertimpa kemurkaan-Mu dan azab-Mu.

Bagimu sumber keredhaan,

Sehingga Engkau meredhai aku.

Tidak ada daya dan kekuatan hanya dengan Engkau
