Clair de Lune

Moon & Pisces  Moon is almost in full phase (see the featured image). It is currently seen on the constellation of pisces. Moon is the only natural satellite of earth. Moon has the dark area on its surface called mare ( maria ).  Moon is so popular and it's been used as a calendar system since the ancient period on earth. New moon, crescent and full moon are moon phases that people usually observe especially nowadays for Islamic calendar (Hijri). Right now is 13 rabiul akhir 1445 in hijri . Others combine both lunar and solar system for their calendar, such as Chinese, Buddhist, Burmese, Assyrian, Hebrew, Jain and Kurdish, traditional Nepali, Hindu, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, Vietnamese, the ancient Hellenic, Coligny, Babylonian, and some pre-Islamic calendars. The combination of lunar calendars and solar calendars are called lunisolar calendars. Now we're moving to lunar eclipse. It is an event where the position of earth, moon and sun are aligned....

Online Communication & Social Media (part 1 & 2)

Social Media Part 1  In what ways do you communicate online? This is a coincidence. I have thought a lot on this topic recently. I don't know where to start, apparently there are so many social media apps. People use it to communicate online, including me. Here are some information for you. HISTORY OF INTERNET Internet wasn't internet. It was called ARPANET (The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network ). Long before the arrival of digital communications, the steam engine, telegraph pole and coalmine quickened the pace of the world. The industrial revolution created a world of centralization and organized hierarchy. Its defining pattern was a single, central dot to which all strands led. But the emerging digital age is different. A great adjustment in human affairs is under way. The pattern of political, commercial and cultural life is changing. The defining pattern of the emerging digital age is the absence of the central dot. In its place a mesh of many points is evolvi...

Out of Place

  Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. When you're not with the right people, When they don't want to listen, When you are too different so they consider you as a weird person, When they abandon you, When they have no willingness to try to understand you, When you do something you don't want, When people don't want to see you in their place but they invite you to their place, When someone have the intention to make you feel out of place, When someone mistreat you, When nobody's there for you, When you are in a place where you're a total stranger for people in there but they have their own group except you, When you feel nobody really want your existence, When you don't feel good enough, When you feel rejected, When people leave, betray and spread fake news about you, When you are excluded but everyone not, When you feel unsafe, uncomfortable, insecure then you start comparing yourself or downgrading yourself to fit their standards, When you reali...

What if...then...else...

  What would you do if you lost all your possessions? If losing all my possessions doesn't mean I've lost everything, then I still have my spirit within me. If losing all my possessions means I'm stepping into a void, I'd be dead on the inside, not even an emotion I would feel. If I couldn't feel anything, then I wouldn't feel the connection with others. If I stepped out of the void, then I'd be able to return to my function, do not return to the void. If I lost my mind, then it would be hard to function. If I lost my possession, then I would get a better possession. If no possessions could satisfy my worldly life, then losing my possessions wouldn't be that bad. If I lost everything, then nothing to be afraid of losing. If a possession is just a word, then I can't take it back. If a possession is a connection between me and something, then I might get disconnected anytime. If a possession has its time limit for me, then it is temporary. Otherwise, I...

Personal philosophy

  Rice Philosophy Not exactly about rice. There is a life philosophy according to rice plant: "The more knowledge one acquires, the more humble one should become, just like a rice plant that bows lower as it becomes fuller" This philosophy conveys that true knowledge brings humility and wisdom, not arrogance. The analogy is drawn from the rice plant, where a full head of rice bends down. This teaches that a person with vast knowledge and insight should become increasingly humble. Do not lose hope nor be sad This one is obvious, I will take a break and pause anything that exhaust me...

20 Echoes of Life Lessons

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? Then which of the favours of your Lord do you doubt? (QS. 53:55) So which of the favours of your Lord would you deny? (QS. 55:13) Every soul will taste death. And you will only receive your full reward on the Day of Judgment. Whoever is spared from the Fire and is admitted into Paradise will indeed triumph, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment. (QS. 3:185) What is meant for you, will reach you even if it is beneath two mountains. And what isn’t meant for you won’t reach you even if it is between your two lips. The best among you are those who have the best manners and character. The real patience is at the first stroke of a calamity. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Live and learn. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Blood is thicker than water. There are stars above stars. Look for a needle in a haystack. Do not play with fire. You think you will walk away untested...

Community Bonds

What do you do to be involved in the community? There are some things to do like serving food, playing games, reforestation, neighborhood gathering, cleaning up, helping animals, or writing and sharing in this blog. I like watching trees grow. When they're higher with fruits I get to see birds chirping, hanging out, and playing around the branches. The sad part is not all seeds will successfully grow.  Definition If I remember a brief lesson about society there's this term called "gemeinschaft". "Gemeinschaft" is a German term that translates to "community" or "society" in English. It refers to a type of social organization characterized by strong interpersonal relationships, shared values, and a sense of common identity among its members. And then "gesellschaft". "Gesellschaft" is a German term that translates to "society" or "company" in English. It refers to a type of social organization charact...

Lightning and Ancient Myths

I want to let my thoughts out and note this on here. I thought of posting the visual similarities between root, lightning, human blood vessel and electricity. I know they're different, but they look similar to each other. Root Blood vessels Electricity Lightning Roots, blood vessels, lightning, and electricity share a similar appearance due to their branching, tree like structures. All these structures exhibit fractal patterns, where similar shapes repeat at different scales.  In nature, branching designs optimize the distribution of resources. For roots , this means maximizing surface area for water and nutrient absorption. For blood vessels , it ensures efficient blood flow, and for electrical pathways, it minimizes resistance and ensures effective conduction. The growth patterns of trees and the paths of lightning are influenced by the need to connect different points in the most efficient way possible. Then, I read the history of lightning in The Lightn...

Caterpillar with Beautiful Wings

Nature is always full of mysteries and wonders, and one of the most amazing is the butterfly’s life cycle. From a small, seemingly ordinary creature, a caterpillar, to a symbol of captivating beauty, the butterfly’s journey is a remarkable transformation. Butterfly life cycle Egg It all begins with a tiny egg laid by the female butterfly on leaves. This egg is often so small, it's barely visible to the naked eye. Yet within this tiny egg lies a life ready to start its journey Caterpillar (Larva) After a few days, the egg hatches into a caterpillar. In this stage, the caterpillar immediately begins eating the surrounding leaves. The caterpillar phase is when the most rapid growth happens. Though it looks simple, this phase is full of mystery, how can a slow and simple creature transform itself entirely in the next stage Caterpillar Caterpillar looks cute, in fact I have some caterpillar plushies. I like cute things 🗿 Chrysalis (Pupa) Once the caterpillar reaches its...
