Upon Jane Eyre

“It does good to no woman to be flattered [by a man] who does not intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it; and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication.” 

Favorite; Rumi.

If Shakespeare was to be my favorite poet, Rumi should be even higher than that. So then I called him; my soul. Indeed, he is. He speaks my thoughts, my feelings. He knows how to 'dakwah' or actually tame my heart using his magical words; yes poetry is no gimmick in calming my soul and wild heart. It tells you something you never imagined knowing, it describes something you never imagined existing.

I've read few books of different poets; but Rumi is the most powerful writer. His writings are pure, sophisticated and raw. Simply a spectacular masterpiece you would ever read. However, this was given by most unique 'D' thus making this book even more special than it actually is. A complete 365 poems for an entire year should be something I always carry on whenever I go. This is not a promotional entry; it's the passion I'm writing about though. 

One of my favorites; 

It's not possible to carry my heart anymore.

It's better that my yearning take it from me.

If I don't give my heart to the longing I have for You,

What else could I do with it? Why would I have it? 

Reflections of a man

Being a girl is tough. Being a girl without knowledge is tougher. However, we can learn. Told ya before, there are few lessons that couldn't be learned in school. Like how to manage life, choosing a good friend and even knowing as if that guy is a good guy for us. 

This might be a reliable source for you as a guide, but still it just a book. It limits to some extents but I'm very sure it's beneficial if you can learn one or two thus making you a smart girl in choosing a right guy. Not hardly recommending, simply want everyone to at least read and learn. Reflections of a man; a lesson even your mother might not know. 

I suggest this book; for it has answered my few wonders. For me it's reliable; because it is written by a random guy. Might be not the typical one, but surely he is a strong observant and he knows his species better than me. Haha 

Rant on hobbies

I love quotes, I love to know on how people feel and think about something. I find it as an interesting subject to learn, as because of that I love economics I guess. Because of its deep study about people's behaviour. Some might think it's not real, because after all the theories come from a simple human being who thought and assumed about other people acts and behaviours. Well, that's science. A social science, basically. But that's not my point here, I don't want to talk about economics either. I wanna talk about my passion towards poetry and quotes. It's something I should consider as my hobby, collecting quotes.

Quotes for example, by Shakespeare. It's valuable in term of the content and message he was trying to deliver. How he wanted us to know about something he knows. That's valuable, we learn something from other's experiences. You can't have a thought without first having the experience that makes you say whatever related to it. You need first to be in the situation then you can think and feel. So basically it's an advance learning where you can have a valuable message without first be in the shoes. You just need to accept, for it's something beneficial for you to learn. Same goes to hadith. The past collector of hadith are the one who are responsible of Prophet's saying. As the latest ummah, we didn't had a chance to meet the Prophet but we can still know him well and practice his good acts through his sayings, which are an absolute benefit to all of us.

I have few books of poetry which all are my favourites. And I have my own personal journal for me to collect any meaningful quotes I found online, yes my all-time favourite as well.

Book and the giver

This book is actually been given by one of the special person in my life. He's someone I always looking up to in life, because after all, he's the great person I've ever meet. Though no one really see those capabilities in himself, but I see them. And yes, he's great in his own way. I don't really remember on what reason he gave me this book except the part when I actually ask him to buy me a book by which I'll give him money. But yeah maybe as the reason for us to bump into each other, yes kinokuniya the favorite.

Why this book, anyway?

Because I'm a big fan of Murakami and this book was suggested by my brother. So yeah I bought this book, not literally. This book is for me a lil bit different compared to any other Murakami's books. By which, it's about his own perspective about marathon and running which I find very interesting to read. 

As always, Murakami's words are always beautiful and have a deep meaning, definitely a point to ponder. 

But for me it's not a book actually that resembles everything, it sometimes the giver. One book could be crazily interesting when it is given by someone you think they are special. 

The book is special, so do the giver.
