2011 in review

Sejak tahun 2011 WordPress menyajikan satu fitur menarik di tiap pergantian tahun. Statistik blog kita selama satu tahun ditampilkan dalam report yang menarik. Tahun ini pun formatnya semakin interaktif, saya jadi tahu pengunjung dari benua mana yang paling banyak (dalam kasus blog ini tentunya pengunjung dari Indonesia), artikel mana yang paling ‘laris’, dan lain-lain. I’m glad using WordPress, hehe

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 13,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

12th Malang IBF

Seperti biasanya, setiap 3 bulan sekali Malang Islamic Book Fair akan hadir kembali. Kali ini IBF mengambil waktu dari tanggal 1 hingga 7 Desember. Tempat event tetap seperti biasa, di Aula SKODAM V Brawijaya di Jalan Tugu. Sepertinya penyelenggara IBF sudah cocok dengan lokasi ini, mungkin karena memang posisinya yang strategis, tepat di tengah kota dan mudah dijangkau dengan angkutan umum.

Nah, bagi yang sedang mencari buku2 Islami berkualitas dengan harga bersahabat bolehlah mampir ke pameran buku yang satu ini.

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.<
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh<
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

P.S. Hmmm, sometimes I also wonder what if I take the other road…but I’m thankful to be on the road I’m on now, anyway.

83

by John Mayer

I’ve these dreams I’m
Walking home
Home when it used to be
And everything is
As it was
Frozen in front of me

Here I stand
6 feet small
romanticizing years ago
it’s a bitter sweet feeling hearing “Wrapped Around Your Finger” on the
radio

and these days
I wish I was 6 again
Oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman

Sekelumit…

Taqobbalallohu minna wa minkum,
shiyamana wa shiyamakum.

Semoga Allah SWT. menerima seluruh amalan kita dan membukakan pintu Ramadhan berikutnya bagi kita. Amin…

Mohon maaf lahir dan batin atas segala kesalahan.
