Mahasiswa Tingkat Galau

lamlekum assalamualaikum everyone.....
ini saya galau sekali karena sedang mencari-cari sebuah rumus, yang pasti bukan rumus untuk membuat kue. aahhhh galau segalau"nya, gatau juga ini sebenernya mau nulis apa, karena ga nemu" rumus akhirnya saya yang bernama nadia berlari mengunjungi blog tercintahh.
kali ini ngomongnya serius deh. jleb. mulaaaiii....!!!
eeemmmm terkadang suka mikir ya "jadi dia enak ya, dia punya kelebihan inilah itulah, dia pinter, dia beruntung, bla bla bla" tapi pernah mikir ga kalo kita sendiri pun sebenernya beruntung. karena apa? karena kita telah diciptakan TUHAN sebagai mahluk-Nya yang paling mulia. memang selalu berbeda sih sama yang lain, tapi harus yakin juga kalau kita punya sesuatu yang orang lain tidak punya. Ga boleh sombong juga yaa, harusnya kita bisa berbagi sama yang lain.
Boleh aja iri sama kelebihan orang lain, dalam arti kata irinya kita harus kita jadikan semangat untuk kita bisa belajar dari kelebihan orang lain. Jadi diri sendiri pun sudah lebih dari cukup tapi jangan lupa juga untuk selalu berprilaku baik terhadap sesama.
Be your self friends ;-)

Black and white

Black and white, a colour which is always nearby. There will be no white when there is no black. Each time someone rate that black is bad, ugly, dreary, but something that white would not be complete if no black. Yes, though not always the white with black. Black has many meanings, from the black that we could find out a lot of things, we can get the meaning. However we do not misinterpreting black. Life is always full of colors, of course we never get black color in our lives. Maybe when we get black color in our lives, we find it very difficult to face black. But instead of black that is what makes us strong, that makes us get a new meaning, which makes us more excitement. Like a blank white paper, we can only judge that it is a pure paper, without any mixture of any kind. However, when we put the white paper with black ink and paper it will look crowded. From the white paper that has been tainted by the black ink would produce a Word, could even be a sentence containing the meaning. That's the black will always be a complement for white.

hate to miss someone

One night I stand I remind of you
Our hope and dream
Tears in my eyes
When you gone so fast
When I realized you know I can be perfect

I fall from you
You make me like I can't stand with you
You make me like I can't live with you
I can't hold your hand
So please don't let me down

I try to be a stronger
When I know everything over
Everytime I feel
Everyday I think
I never see you once again

I know I can't be stronger
Even I try to forget you
Oh no I missing you
I need It's you

So please don't make me feel like
I keep you in my heart
