Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they’ll love you back! Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn’t, be content that it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don’t go for looks; they can deceive.

Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lies ahead for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Hiragana, apaan sih?

Hiragana itu adalah alphabet bahasa jepang dasar yang mewakili setiap suara dalam bahasa jepang. Oleh karena itu secara teoritis kita bias menulis apapun dalam hiragana. Namun, karena bahasa jepang ditulis tanpa spasi, pasti akan menyebabkan kebingungan atau sulit terbaca.

Tabel Hiragana
n w r y m h n t s k
ん わ ら や ま は な た さ か あ a
ゐ* り み ひ に ち
(chi)		 し
(shi)		 き い i
る ゆ む ふ
(fu)		 ぬ つ
(tsu)		 す く う u
ゑ* れ め へ ね て せ け え e
を ろ よ も ほ の と そ こ お o

* = obsolete (ie no longer used)

p b d z g
ぱ ば だ ざ が a
ぴ び ぢ
(ji)		 じ
(ji)		 ぎ i
ぷ ぶ づ
(dzu)		 ず ぐ u
ぺ べ で ぜ げ e
ぽ ぼ ど ぞ ご o
p b j g r m h n c s k
ぴゃ びゃ じゃ ぎゃ りゃ みゃ ひゃ にゃ ちゃ しゃ きゃ ya
ぴゅ びゅ じゅ ぎゅ りゅ みゅ ひゅ にゅ ちゅ しゅ きゅ yu
ぴょ びょ じょ ぎょ りょ みょ ひょ にょ ちょ しょ きょ yo

Hiragana itu tidak sulit untuk dikuasai karena itu banyak sekali website dan software/program gratis tersebar di web. Penulis menyarankan agar pembaca mengunjungi website ini

http://www.sf.airnet.ne.jp/~ts/japanese/cover.html

untuk melatih mendengarkan pronounciation dari masing-masing karakter.

Sedangkan untuk melatih menulis dalam hiragana perlu diperhatikan urutan dan arah guratan dari tulisan.
Kenapa ini sangat penting? Percaya deh, kamu pasti akan segera tahu pada akhirnya ketika membaca tulisan org lain tidak lebih dari sekedar tulisan ceker ayam :D
So, penulis menyarankan  buat mengunjungi website yang satu ini neh…

http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Shrine/7047/hboth.htm

untuk melihat animasi dari urutan guratan dan berlatih dari sana…

Alphabet

Dalam 日本語（bahasa jepang） terdapat dua jenis alphabet atau かな　(kana)  yang disebut  ひらがな　(hiragana) dan カタカナ (katakana).
Hiragana dan Katakana hanya terdiri atas kurang dari 50 “huruf”,  yang asalnya merupakan penyederhanaan dari tulisan China untuk membentuk  yang disebut phonetic alphabet.

Tulisan China yang biasa disebut 漢字(kanji) dalam bahasa jepang, sangat sering digunakan dalam penulisan bahasa jepang. Kebanyakan kata-kata dalam bahasa jepang ditulis dalam kanji (kata benda, kata kerja, kata sifat).
Terdapat lebih dari 40.000 kanji dimana sekitar 2000 kanji (biasa disebut 常用漢字joyo kanji) mewakili lebih dari 95% tulisan yang biasanya digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Tidak ada spasi [ ] dalam bahasa jepang sehingga 漢字　（kanji ）　sangat berguna dalam membedakan antar kata yang terpisah dalam sebuah kalimat. Kanji juga sangat berguna dalam membedakan antara homofon yang sangat sering terjadi dikarenakan jumlah suara yang berbeda sangat terbatas
Hiragana digunakan sebagian besar untuk tujuan yang bersifat tata bahasa. Kita akan segera mengetahui nya  ketika kita belajar tentang partikel. Kata-kata dengan kanji yang sangat jarang atau sulit, ungkapan bahasa sehari-hari, dan kata-kata yang meniru suara adalah juga ditulis dalam hiragana. Hiragana juga sering digunakan oleh para pemula bahasa jepang dan anak-anak sebagai pengganti kanji yang mereka belum ketahui
Katakana mewakili pengucapan yang sama dengan hiragana hanya saja biasana digunakan untuk mewakili kata-kata asing dari Negara lain misalkan bahasa inggris
