Nike Ardila - Sosok yang tak kan tergantikan di mata penggemar

Nike Ardila

" Aku dan masih banyak lagi teman di sini masih sangat menyayangimu, sudah terlalu lama kami merindukanmu, kembalilah teh! walau cuma sehari, kembalilah!". Seandainya Almarhum Nike Ardila bisa mendengar doa ku pada Tuhan, itulah yang akan aku ucapkan kepadanya.

Kebetulan aku juga penggemar berat Keke, jadinya ngeblog sekalian curhat dech. Kata pepatah; "sambil menyelam minum air". waduh, keselek dong!

Pada kenyataannya memang masih banyak sekali orang yang sayang pada Nike, masih banyak yang tak percaya kalau teteh telah pergi. Masih banyak penggemar yang setia & fanatik pada Nike Ardila . Setiap tahunnya diadakan peringatan ulang tahun dan acara "tour de ziarah" kemakam almarhumah untuk mengenang kepergiannya. Sungguh-sungguh perlakuan yang sangat spesial dari seorang penggemar kepada idolanya.

Nike bukan hanya seorang penyanyi dengan suara emas, tetapi ia juga seorang gadis yang berparas cantik natural. Bukan hanya itu. Ia adalah seseorang yang berhati mulia. Dalam kesuksesannya menjadi artis papan atas, ia tidak sombong dan tidak lupa diri. Dia masih suka makan bakso di pinggiran, masih sering mengunjungi guru SMP-nya, bergaul dengan siapa saja ( tentunya orang-orang baik ) sampai tukang becak. Dan yang paling membuat kagum adalah; almarhum mendirikan sekolah SLB dengan kantong pribadi.

Tentu saja kombinasi dari 3(tiga) kecantikan yang dimilikinya (-suara, hati, & paras-) membuat sosok Nike Ardila bagaikan Idola idaman setiap manusia. Ia bukan hanya diidolakan, tetapi juga menjadi panutan en suri tauladan. Itulah penyebab kenapa para penggemarnya yang tergabung dalam wadah NAFC 'setia' pada Nike Ardila. Mereka merasa bahwa belum ada sosok yang mampu menggatikan keberadaan Nike di hati para penggemar. "Bahkan, walaupun ada sosok yang lebih baik dari teteh (Nike Ardila), selalu ada tempat tersendiri bagi teteh di hati kami", ujar salah seorang penggemar fanatik Nike Ardila.

Wow.. ngeri bro! Sampe segitunya ya  fans fanatik itu. Sayang, Nike Ardila sudah pergi. Eh, ngomong-ngomong soal pergi, insya Allah di lain kesempatan akan diulas tentang "Hikmah Kepergian Nike Ardila" yang begitu cepat. Ditunggu aja ya!

NB: Kami selalu menyayangimu, Nike!

"Deddy Dores - Seniman yang Hampir Terlupakan"

Tulisan ini saya tuangkan dalam blog, karena minimnya informasi tentang sosok yang akan diulas pada kesempatan kali ini, Deddy Dores-Seniman yang hampir terlupakan.

Ini berawal saat saya mengetikkan kata "deddy dores" dalam kotak search engine", dan apa hasilnya? Minim sekali informasi yang dapat saya temukan dari dunia maya. Bahkan ensiklopedia bebas - wikipedia- pun tak memberi suatu ruang tulisan untuk sosok yang membesarkan nama Nike Ardila itu.

Tentu saja ini merupakan suatu ironi, dimana saat kita mencari informasi tentang Nike Ardila , result di search engine menunjukkan angka jutaan, sedangkan result untuk nama Deddy Dores cuma berkisar di angka ratusan ribu. Dari ratusan ribu itu cuma ada beberapa biji yang berisi informasi-informasi (news) tentang kang Deddy, yang lain kebanyakan cuma result untuk mp3 lagu dan video ciptaan deddy- itupun masih bertautan dengan penyanyinya, seperti Nike Ardila & Mayang Sari, alhasil nama Deddy itu sendiri jadi tenggelem dah. Sisanya lagi adalah result untuk facebook & akun sosial network yang lain, yang tentunya hampir semuanya bukan milik kang Deddy.

Menyimak ulasan di atas tentunya sangat menyedihkan bukan? Terlepas dari semua kelemahan mas Deddy yang konon sering gonta-ganti pasangan (kawin-cerai-trus kawin lagi), kita harus melihat kemampuan dan peran Deddy Dores di dunia musik secara obyektif. Kita tidak bisa membicarakan kesuksesan penyanyi sekelas Nike Ardila yang sangat fenomenal itu tanpa menyebut nama Deddi Dores. Dalam bahasa yang lain, Deddy Dores merupakan bagian penting dalam kesuksesan karir bermusik Keke (panggilan akrabNike Ardila), dengan mendominasi penciptaan lagu-lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh  penyanyi bernama lengkap Raden Rara Nike Ratnadila Kusnadi itu.

Lagu ciptaan Deddy Dores yang terkenal misalnya; Seberkas Sinar, Bintang Kehidupan, Matahariku, Biarkan Cintamu Berlalu, Hingga Sandiwara Cinta. Tentunya  masih lebih banyak lagi lagu-lagu ciptaan mas Deddy yang belum disebutkan. Insya Allah dalam kesempatan yang lain, saya akan mengulas lagu-lagu mas Deddy.

Berikut ini beberapa link website yang bisa anda kunjungi untuk menggali informasi tentang Deddy Dores:

    wish man

    The wise man does not choose the situation that according to him, but he tends to adapt themselves to the situation.

    Actually, there is no profitable situation and there are no adverse situation. Gains / losses are the result of setting of a situation. The advantage would come if situation is set properly. While the losses were incurred because the situation is not regulated properly.

    No one can choose the destiny and situation in it. A person can only do their best to change that destiny of his limits.

    The difference between love and affection

    The difference between love and affection

    Love is much closer to the passion and lust
    Affection is closer to the heart

    The best job

    The best activity is not to waste time. You can do any job, you can do everything provided it does not idle. Basically, all activity is an occupation. And the best job is to do an activity that is usefull, both for yourself and / or for others.

    There is not a job that is claimed to be the best job. Everything is relative, depending on the situation and condition of the subject do the work. In fact, farmers may be the best job for providing basic needs for food as the surrounding community.

    This life is a system. And each work is an activity which affects the activity / job to another.
    An example, without people’s is not the job of a leader is meaningless.

    Each work is mutually supportive and complementary. As an example, the executive work connected with the legislature, as well as the judiciary.

    So whatever your job, do it with the best. Do not feel humiliated even if you only do lowly job, because it is also an activity that is useful, provided you are not wasting time.

    Keep the spirit and keep fighting.
    A great start from the very small.

    batik


    Understanding of batik
    Batik painting is drawn on cloth with wax and dye materials.

    Initially, the tool used to make batik is canting. However, now canting has been rarely used.

    In subsequent developments, batik is made using the stamp. This method is intended to accelerate the process of making batik. And the most modern today is to use a machine with printing techniques. This method is used by companies as an effort to maximize the benefits of mass production. But this method can not be called ‘mbatik’ and the products is not batik, but only a batik fabrics.

    But of the three ways above, which is used batik using canting have the best quality.

    The city of batik in Indonesia

    Batik is an international cultural heritage originated from Indonesia. Pekalongan is batik city. But for society, Jogjakarta and Solo is  known as a batik industrial center. There are many producing regions such as batik in Indonesia, Indramayu, Gorontalo, several reigon in Bali, and some areas in West Java and Central Java.

    The use of batik
    Batik cloth was used as the base material of Javanese people clothes /‘kebaya’, table cloth, bed cover, "gloves" and "shawl". In an effort to promote and introduce batik to international people, batik is now used as a basic ingredient in all things fashion. Batik is used as the base material of shoes, beautiful sandals, bags, wedding dress, shirts, hats, ties, blouses, etc.

    love

    sometimes, love can make us feel safe, but he was not able to save us from the death

    every human being is important

    everyone has ever felt down, lost, feeling stupid, ignored, humiliated, maybe even insulted. sometimes it makes us feel useless.

    but there are important things you should remember. "every human being is important."

    (introduction to the point)
    God who created this life. He has big plans with this life and He planned everything till the smallest things.

    (why every human being is important?)
    you are part of this life. so you are part of gods plan. however you are already a part of this living system. you have become part of a system of gods plan. and if you do not exist,
    your absence will result was great damage to the system of life.
     

    (conclusion)
    so no matter how small you feel, you still have a huge influence on this life, to the great plan of God (which is still secret).

    you should know that "God never created anything in vain", as well as our presence.

    you are someone important.

    keep the spirit and confidence!

    how to make your house always looks clean

    There are several ways you can do to make house always look clean, as below:

    1. sweep (with broom) home regularly.

    This should be done twice a day during morning and afternoon. maybe for those of you who have domestic help, this is not a problem. but for a single parent is not easy, especially if the house is big enough. if you have trouble doing it twice, you can do it only in the morning.

    2. return all objects & furniture in the original place.

    equipment and furniture after use, immediately on return to the place. this is very important to avoid the impression of clutter in your home.

    3. swab your furniture

    wipe your furniture with a damp cloth if it looks dirty. for those of you who are busy, take a preformance once a week to do it.
