Blind? Fight on!

Cool Blind people. Let's just say it sucks having to live meaningless life because of having a misused eye..

Ray Charles

Born poor and black during the depression, things already weren't going Ray's way. In his own words: "Even compared to the other blacks...we were on the bottom of the ladder looking up at everyone else. Nothing below us except the ground." Despite a life that was already sounding like the worst parts of a racist Disney movie, Ray still described himself as a happy kid. However fate, clearly not being enough of a dick yet, had his younger brother drown in a bathtub right in front of him. Horrified at having to witness this, his eyes just gave up and started to stop working. Rather than get all teary about this like a regular dude he just got right up and learned himself some piano. Which as you may already know, works out quite well for him. Just in case you don't, he became one of the greatest musicians of his time, called a genius by Frank Sinatra. His popularity even helped bring black music of the time into the mainstream.

(picture of wiggers captioned: which lead to this)

Like most cool people he also had a drug problem and has said that he "enjoys getting behind the wheel," which is both most the awesome and most incredibly scary combination ever. I live in fear of the day that I pull up to a red light and glance at the car stopped next to me, only to see a blind man look at me from the driver seat, drugged up to his useless eyeballs and daring me to race him.

 Esref Armagn

Esref Armagn was born in Turkey in 1953 both blind and poor, so he wasn't exactly off to a running start. But as his young friends were just beginning their exciting careers as street urchins and pickpockets, he was hard at work teaching himself to write and paint. Did I mention he had no formal schooling to help him do this, and also that he's freaking blind? Yet despite all this he taught himself how to paint with full colour and perspective. Remember that guy you knew in college who was studying art? He sold a painting or two (which you thought looked like it was done by a retarded child with no hands but you just 'didn't get it') and was totally going to make it big just as soon as his website took off? When you see him at your next reunion, starting to lose his hair and still teaching high school art class, feel free to tell him about the blind guy who has had twenty art shows in cities all over the world. Ask him how his art career is going, sell any paintings lately?

 Yoo Ye Eun(Specially written by me)

She was born on 2003. Adopted when she was just 1 month as a baby. She was first well know on her first performance in a talent show whose competitors are mostly teenager to adult people. Thus she came and made the best record ever in the show's history. 95. While her competitor back then only scored 71. She was one gift that Allah sent to this world. She can play a music only after hearing it once without missing a tut. She doesn't complaint. The song she first sing whilst playing the piano was "You were born to be loved".

Vocabulary Improving - and Not by Improvisation

Why and Way to Improve Our Vocabulary.
Why?
Because great person has great range of vocabulary. Every words has its own context. And the more vocabulary we know, the better can we explain our thought.
Way?
1.Be Aware of Words
- Be aware especially with words whom you're familiar with but still don't know what its real meaning is.
- Don't only read, try to look for words of interest to us for further study whenever and wherever we may meet them. Even though it may slow down our reading progress, but it eventually will make us better in understanding the whole story.

2.Read
Because the applicable place for our vocabulary is mostly in reading. Read things that we're interested with, and read, don't just look. Read as often as possible and also always keep in mind the idea of learning new words.

3.Use a Dictionary
-Have our own dictionary. A small one is alright.
-Circle the words we look up. Whenever we open our dictionary, of course our eye will naturally move to the circled words. This can give some kind of a review for us.
-Read the entire entry for word you look up. Some words have many meanings, especially, context. Don't just look at the first word given by our dictionary, read the whole part.

4. Once I Actually Didn't Know The Meaning of This Word!
Keep on reviewing. Give a spare amount of special time for vocabulary learning. It can be reviewing, or learning new ones. Keep on doing it and be systematic about studying so we can be sure that we really do progress. We can use Index card in which each word is placed in one card. And we'll soon see that our vocabulary cards grow thicker and thicker :))

A True Fight

It wouldn't be a fight if it were easy.
And fighting against myself, my very desire. Not only that, but also all the stereotypes that most women put on men.
I have to fight against all those. It makes myself shiver.
Is there anyone out there who still support me?
I know, it musn't be a girlfriend or so close-friend, or else.
I need a shoulder to lean on. Because it's just heavy. Not too heavy, at least.

I told my friend about this fight of mine, and know the way I was responded?
No need to discuss about that. It's just my second experience, and they got me wrong.
And then it seems like nothing has happened.
I still have to carry all the loads in this world. Because we of the few selected man are not a majority.

I just want to tell my friends how heavy it is.
I think I'm just going to try again telling them how harsh this fight is.
How soothing it was to have a friend on my side who support me.
Like this, just as I reflect on the time when I tried to sink my head on the water tube.
And come out 'graaah'. I still need to live. I can't end my life like this.

I need someone that'll understand me.
But before that, I think it's best to wait for Allah's decision.
This'll be time for me to recover from that trauma.
Yo, Haw! Semangat x)))

-- Me and All the Woman Around Me --

Well, I'm The Moon. I sometimes shine brightly. And some other time, I don't.My life is the vastness of the night. And my shine is the reflection of the sun. And my sun is my inspiration.
At some moments of my life. When I give a clear, bright, and sheeny light. That even I am proud of myself.
And there's also some moments of my life. When I was lost sight, disappearing, not owning any more light.

And I look at the stars around me. They're all looked so shiny too. I was told that they shine by themselves.
How cool.
I was told that I need to focus on my sun. The things that I loved, and liked to do.
But still, I often looked at the stars. They looked so interesting. So amusing.
The star's activities, how they create their own shine. Very cool, right? I think so.
Their shine looked flawless, their heat are so warming me, and their positioning themselves are just perfect.
Why is it that they're so amazing?

Some times, I do wonder.
How'd it feel if I were to be near them? If I were to be reflecting their light.
Am I going to be like them? Strong, sheeny, and just so cool yet able to warm this petrified soil.
Is things gonna be alright? Will my light shine for'eva?
But my cores forbid me to. They prohibited me to have a new source of rays.
My cores disclosed me the facts that I'm not ready for that yet.

But I want to. Crack, crack. Some faults arise in my body.
I really want to.
No, my cores said. You need to wait some more. To be more patient.
Learn to control this magma seething inside you.
Look at that strong gravity you had when you meet them.
Look at all your faults, your acute ravines in your body.
Look at this, your very own core, which is still lacking repair.

Are you ready yet?

And so I was only allowed to try to reflect some of the stars' light, and only watching them from afar.
Only able to be amazed by them. To help them by my flaws. And wait. Yeah, wait.
For this moon to grow, and soon be a star, just like all of them.
I'm waiting for the time I become 'That solely shining star'.
And soon finding my moon, or to meet with another beautiful star.
And strengthen our gravity bond. And become a magnificent pair of star.

This is all.

A picture for you guys :)

'Illusory World'

I l l u s o r y  W o r l d . . ?

     "It is a world where everyone lost themselves. Let loose of themselves.
      It is a world where the tired goes off to. Where they can feed themselves with their needs.
      A world where everything seems alright. Where forgetting about others feels just okay.
      A world of dreams. Whatever dream it is. Whether it is a world where we pleasure ourselves. 
     Or a world full of self-pity." - Thinker Me


They're indeed a part of real world. They're worlds where many people live in and want to live in. This world is where a comfort is offered completely. You can choose to crush yourself, where you can explore your self-loathing self freely. Or you can choose to look for fake happiness, outer happiness often mistook as real happiness.

But those all are just illusory worlds. They're there for moments. And they lasted moments afterward. Just at the moment when we see our real world the way it is. After we come back alive again.

"Can't human actually just fight the world the way the reality is? 
Without having to run to that illusory world anymore?
Is it really a must to have that dreams achieved momentarily?"
False-achievement in world.

Illusory world is a world of addicts. Where the addicted feed their addiction. Of everything.
"And what did we get by feeding this addiction?"
We just get deeper into the cycle of addiction. The more we feed our addiction, the deeper we get into it.

"Can't human actually live without addiction?"
That's the thing that I don't really know. Someone else said that in life, there're two contrary things: Addiction vs Compassion. But that's for next time :)

I'm writing for myself ;)
