This film is fantastic! Many Visual Effects you can enjoy from this film. It’s like watching Transformer2, the story is not that good, but you are served by more-than-2-hours visual effects.. Cool..

So, let’s talk about Hollywod film. Hollywood make such a great film with great actor, sound, effect, and off course with the great cost. They make films so serious that you are interested to watch them and . But, be careful of hollywood film and say Basmallah before watching as there are bunch of propagandas you dont think they are, such as:

People from every religion pray, but something bad still happen. That implicitly tell you that every religion is a false teaching in order to point your mind to be an atheist or it can direct you to think that every religion is the same, each of them pray to their God, but misfortune still reach them.
Do not believe in premonition or end-of-the-day type that holllywood make in the film because no one know when and how the end of the day happen. In addition, end of the day is not just the end of the world, it is the end of UNIVERS.
Sometimes in the war film, you may find that Arabians are brutal and not smart. Holywood wants to make you believe that Islam is underdeveloped religion. So be careful!
There are some mystical activities such as voodoo, possession. And when God (through religion) fight for them, the demon/intellectual win. In this case, film maker whats to make you think that God is weak, or imperfect, or suprisingly is there God?

I think you can think of more example of shrewd propaganda in Hollywood film. That’s why you have to be carfeul!

Use of Shalat

Agung Suwandaru — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:27:08 +0000

In one of speech of Friday Prayer, I listened to the speaker’s speaking which is about the use of Shalat (prayer). Here are the uses:

Shalat is compulsory for Moslem.
Shalat is one of the Moslem character, and sign of one’s Moslem.
Shalat is the pillar of Islam.
Shalat is the first good deed counted in after life.
Shalat is good for health.
Shalat is the cure for heart.
Shalat keeps (one) away from indecency and evil, and certainly the remembrance of Allah is the greatest. Holy Qoran (Al-‘Ankabuut 29:45)

So, DO the Shalat…

Agung Suwandaru — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:57:49 +0000

Saosin new album is released! At last.. For more than 2 years, saosin now publish their new album, “In Search of Solid Ground“. As usual, in this album, sasosin still play their music in speed beat, many sreaming, high-tone voice, and of course, sad lyric. But then you can still enjoy fun song such as “What We Were Made For”.

There are 13 tracks in this album. And almost all of them is great, one of the best track is “Changing”. Maybe you know that Saosin is emo band, but you who don’t like emo, don’t be negative at first. Listen with your free feeling, and happy. You will find that saosin is remarkable band!

Thinking about polygamy in Islam

Agung Suwandaru — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:29:50 +0000

When browsing on polygamy, I found this interesting ebook. This ebook was downloaded from http://dear.to/abusalma. it is in indonesian, for importance of dakwah, I will translate the good part of it in english. Here, I will show you the part that I like. Here we go..

If there was the one disapproved of polygamy, then that person would hurt Islam’s law, even hurt the creator of it, Allah azza wa Jalla the creator of universe, of His creatures in pairs, who revealed polygamy syariat for His servants and He is full knowledge of the good for His creations. Nevertheless His creations doesn’t have any, rather it is very little not larger than a drop of water in ocean. But much of humans are conceited and rebellious, they prefer their intellect to praising Allah and His syariat, what they think is bad then they deem it is wrong, whereas it was often happened that what they thought it was bad, apparently it was good on Allah’s side, and what they thought it was good, apparently it was bad on Allah’s side, and Allah is much more knowledgeable than them.

“The jews said when they saw Rasulullah married a woman: Look at that man who is never full of eating, and in the name of Allah, he don’t have desire except for women.” [Thobaqot al-Kubra karya Ibnu Sa’ad, juz VIII hal. 233, through mediator Hamdi Syafiq, Zaujaat Laa Asyiiqoot at-Ta’addudi asy-Syar’i Dhorurotul Ashri]. Actually, when the jews said that, they lower their prophets. It is not shocking because of what lies on their holy book.

Polygamy is common among the prophets before Muhammad may peace be upon him. We can take example of Ibrahim (Abraham) ‘alaihi Salam, he had some wives, such as Sarah (Sara) that gave birth to Ishaq (Isaac) –ancestor of Israeli tribe— and Hajar (Hagar) that gave birth to Ismail (Ishmael) –Ancestor of Arabian tribe. Ya’qub (Jacob) ‘alaihi Salam was told that he had two wives –they were sisters—from his mothers relative. Prophet Daud was a prophet who worshiped Allah most often, moreover he was the prophet who did fasting the most, and he did polygamy also. Many other prophets did polygamy as well as many other people.

DR. Muhamad Fu’ad al-Hasyimi, former christian who had been a moslem, in his book stated that, “the Church as having recognized polygamy up to the 17^th century. None of the four gospels is known to have explicitly barred polygamy. It so happened that some European peoples, dictated only by non‑polygamy pagan traditions, barred the practice of keeping more than one wife. When that anti‑polygamy minority converted to Christianity, it clamped the traditional polygamy ban down on the rest of Christians. As time passed by, Christianity was increasingly, falsely though, believed to have essentially barred polygamy. It is only an old tradition clamped by some down on the others throughout ages.”

We are Rasulullah’s followers, and just allowed to marry up to four women with some conditions. On the other hand, Rasulullah Shallallahu ’alaihi wa Salam had 9 wives, this was an exception for him because he was different than any other man, on the top of that he was ma’sum (be taken care of from sin).

We are human as week as others, we obey the rule whom they make. Why don’t we obey Allah’s law that’s far more higher, more perfect, more comprehensive, more complete than human’s law?? Where’s our head at?? When we discredited Allah’s law and credited human’s law. Where’s our head at?? When we insulted polygamy that Allah made, but at the other hand we accepted kuffars society with liberal free life that disgrece humans basic right especially women..

On IRF report, it was reported that in United States, the amounts of women were 7,8 million more than men. In New York itself, women were 1 million more than women. In England, women were 4 million more than men, in addition in German, women were 5 million more and Rusisia 9million more.

If there was no polygamy, there would always be affair, and adultery. Annie Besant, a theology specialist whose name is commonplace among feminism, and liberalist, said that:

“You Can Find others stating that religion (Islam) is evil, because it sanctions a limited poligamy. But you don’t hear as a rule the criticism which I spoke out one day in a london hall where I knew that the audience was entirely uninstructed. I pointed out to them that monogamy with a blended mass of prostitution was hypocrisy and more degrading than a limited poligamy. Naturally a statement like that gives offence, but it has to be made, because it must be remembered that the law of Islam in relation to women was untill lately, when parts of it has been imitated in England, the most just law as far as women are concerned, to be found in the world. Dealing with property, dealing with rights of succession and so on, dealing with cases of divorce, it was far beyond the law of the West, in the respect that was paid to the rights of women. Those things are forgotten while people are hypnotized by the words monogamy and poligamy and do not look at what lies behind it in the West – the frightful degradation of women who are thrown into the streets when their first potectors, weary of them, no longer give them any assistance… I often think that woman is more free in Islam than in Christianity. Woman is more protected by Islam than by the faith which preaches monogamy. In the Qur’an the law about woman is more and liberal. It is only in the last twenty years that christian England, has recognised the rigt of a woman to property, while Islam has allowed this rigth from all times…”

Many polygmy oppositions stated An-Nisaa:129 to support their principle. That people will never ever be able to act justly, that people hsouldn’t do polygamy.

“ Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” (An-Nisaa: 129)

What it means by “you are never able to be fair and just as between women” in that verse is love feeling, heart tendency, and making love. But zhahir matters such as dwelling, living fee, and time at night, they are must for a man who have polygamous marriage in order to be fair. Furthermore, Imam Nawawi in his Syariah Muslim book explained that, “he (Muhammad Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam loved ’Aisyah more than the other wives. Then the moslems consent that treating every wives the same love is impossible with the exception in Allah’s permission.

Creating Life Has To Be Just Like Creating Software

Agung Suwandaru — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:51:06 +0000

creating software is not just coding the source code. software has to be planned and documented well so that the software we create is easy to test, easy to maintain, easy to extend, and has few bugs. before we create software, first you have to create requirement document, analysis document, and design document. each document have its own unique, difficulty, and function to make a right software and to make a software right.

the same thing goes for real life. life has to be planned so well to maintain our messy life, and shape nice future. if you learn how to organize your life structuredly, you might have a chance to get what you required in your proposed time of your plan.

so, arrange our life!

Take care your most beautiful flower

waiting on store: Marilyn Manson’s New Album: High End Of Low

Agung Suwandaru — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:48:34 +0000

senin, 20 april 2009.

Marilyn Manson. gw pertama ngedenger band ini pas gw sma, didengerin sama dwipa, tmen sebangku gw kelas 2 sma. karena gw masih cupu, dan anti sama band hardrock, gw cuekin aja tuh lagu2. beberapa tahun kemudian, tepatnya tahun 2007, saat gw sudah beranjak adult, dan open dg lagu2 semacam ini, gw dapet secara gak sengaja album Marilyn Manson yang baru waktu itu: Eat me drink me dari rileks (forum internet di ITB). saat gw denger lagunya, gw mulai suka sama band ini. keren bgt!! kesan pertama gw adalah: suara vokalnya keren, musiknya gothic, rock yg gak biasa, hardrock tapi masih enak dan enak didengerin terus. gw mulai cari2 videonya, wow! keren abis… penuh darah, freak, cool, awesome makeup!!

2 tahun kemudian, berawal dari hobi gw fesbukan, gw tiba2 inget lagi sama band favorit gw yg ini. gw cari deh groupnya, dan dari situ gw dapet info kalo 26 mei adalah hari peluncuran album ketujuhnya Marilyn Manson yang berjudul High End of Low. Gila! dan sekarang, udah ada 1 lagu single yang bisa didwonload: We’re from America. lagunya bagus, keras, cepat, liar. iseng2, karena gw penasaran sama lagu-lagu yg laen, gw cari lagi lagu laennya di google, siapa tau ada yg ngebajak. keisengan gw membawa hasil! gw dapet 3 lagu laen: The Wow, Four Rusted Horses, Arma-God Damn-Mother F***in’-geddon. The Wow, Four Rusted Horses bertempo slow tapi masih ada kesan gelap dan dalam di liriknya. Arma-God Damn-Mother F***in’-geddon agak nge-beat, liriknya tetap sadis..

So, sebuah masterpiece akan duluncirkan lagi, dan gw akan addicted lagi untuk beberapa bulan kedepan. hahaha.

Kembalinya sang Sony Ericsson

Agung Suwandaru — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 05:28:52 +0000

Senin 20 April 2009. seperti biasa, hari senen semester 8 merupakan hari yg menjengkelkan. gw bangun pagi buta, sekitar jam 7an. masih ngantuk. gw berusaha mengangkat bulu mta gw dengan sekuat energi yang tersisa, terkuras sejak tadi malem. hah ngapain yah gw tadi malem?? lupa.. haha. gw beranjak dari tempat tidur, ngaca, dan ada yang kurang. gw ga bisa foto2!! arghh..senin pagi buta gw ga bisa foto2, hancur hati gw.. haha

oke. gw berangkat kuliah dengan pasrah. udah jam segini. berharap gw ga diusir dari kelas. hati gw berdebar kencang didepan kelas, ingin boker rasanya, kentut pun gw tahan. kelas udah ditutup. gw buka tuh pintu dengan khidmat, berharap semua orang pada cuek. namun, kentut yg udah gw tahan dari tadi keluar juga akhirnya.. legaaa sekali… gw jadi inget dengan pepatah ini: dibalik leganya kentut ada baunya juga.. bet! orang2 pada ngeliatin gw. sialan gw diliatin orang2 padahal gw blm mandi. oke. singkat kata, tanpa memperdulikan perkataan dosen, intinya gw disuruh keluar..

keluarlah gw dengan lincah. gw balik dengan rasa senang, kyk skrg lagi libur kuliah. di kamar, gw maen fesbuk. sampe temen kost gw dengan cara yg aneh ngasitau gw (lwt wall faesbuk padahal gw ada di sblh kamar dia, dia ada di sebelah kamar gw) kalo HP Sony Ericsson gw yg udah hampir 2 hari ilang ktemu!! Alhamdulillah…

ternyata HP gw tuh jatoh, ngumpet di kerdus, di toko depan ITB, Alhamdulillah… padahal gw udah ikhlas dengan kepergian HP gw yg gak ngasi kabar. hilangnya HP gw ini yang baru seumur taoge, menyisakan banyak hikmah, dan pelajaran berarti seperti:

1. selalu aware sama barang sendiri, apalagi barang mahal

2. berdoa itu perlu banget

3. tanggung jawab sama barang sendiri

4. jangan lupakan temen, walau kita dalam keadaan genting

5. ikhlas, semua cobaan pasti ada hikmah dan maksuudnya
