Jangan Takut Dibilang Gak Laku
Menikah…siapa sih yang tak mau menikah,semua yang telah dewasa pasti menginginkannya bukan
“Suatu hari beberapa waktu yang lalu saat saya bertemu dengan teman teman lama saya sewaktu sekolah dulu menanyakan bagaimana keadaan saya saat ini…”saya jawab alhamdulillah lebih baik dari waktu dulu sewaktu saya masih dijalanan…lalu merekapun pasti menanyakan berapa anak saya,dan sayapun menjawabnya kalau saya belum menikah
“Lho kenapa kok belum mempunyai pendamping,padahal enak lho punya istri apa apa dilayani terus kalo malam ada yang nemenin tidur apa lagi pas waktunya hujan wuah pokoknya enak loh
“Namun saya hanya menjawab sambil tersenyum…”Duh masa sih,yah belum ada jodohnya mungkin jawabku pelan…
“Lalu teman saya yang satunya lagi menjelaskan kalau menikah itu menjalankan sunah rasul…”Dan sayapun menjawabnya…”Sunah bang bagi yang tidak mampu,jadi yang namanya sunahkan tidak wajib dilaksanakan…lalu kenapa dikatakan tidak wajib…”ya dikarenakan belum mampu,dan belum mampu tak berarti tidak memiliki uang yang cukup atau materi yang cukup untuk biaya pernikahan dan biaya hidup sesudah menikah…”yah itu juga benar…dan tidak mampu sendiri juga bisa saja belum siap bertanggung jawab kepada pasangannya,belum dewasa dalam bersikap dan yang pasti belum siap untuk mandirilah
“Dan tak mampu juga tak mesti belum memiliki pekerjaan tetap,banyak kok yang sudah bekerja tetap dan kehidupannya lumayan cukup tapi belum siap untuk menikah,”yah dengan alasan mereka belum mampu bertanggung jawab…daripada dipaksakan takutnya kandas ditengah jalan karena tak ada kecocokan dalam segala hal mungkin…
“Menikah juga hukumnya wajib bagi yang sudah merasa dirinya mampu…mampu bertanggung jawab kepada dirinya sendiri dan pasangannya dan mampu berfikir dan bersikap dewasa kepada pasangannya
“Jadi menikah bisa dikatakan sunah dan juga bisa dikatakan wajib
“Sangat luar biasa baginda rasul memutuskannya…
“Dan pastinya menikah bukan bertujuan menyalurkan hasrat birahi loh…”yah walaupun menikah itu sebagai sarana menyalurkan kebutuhan biologis kita…jadi sex adalah bagian dari kebutuhan dan bukan sebagai tujuan dari kebutuhan…
“Jadi yang belum menikah jangan khawatir dikatakan jomblo atau gak normal lah…”Laksanakanlah bila kamu telah merasa mampu dan yang pasti Tuhan memberi kita jodoh kalau kita memang sudah benar benar mampu
“Jangan bersedih apalagi minder…tetaplah berusaha dan berdoa,agar semuanya berjalan dengan semestinya dan yang pasti Rezeki jodoh dan maut adalah hal yang pasti dariNYA
“Tetap berusaha,sabar dan positif tinking
Semoga bermanfaat ya

Yogyakarta
Overview
The Special Region of Yogyakarta(Indonesian):
Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, or DIY), is the smallest province of Indonesia(excluding Jakarta). It is located on the island ofJava. Yogyakarta is the only province in Indonesia that is still governed by that area's precolonial monarchy; The Sultan of Yogyakarta serves as the elected governor of the province. In English it is pronounced /ˌdʒoʊɡdʒəˈkɑrtə/[citation needed] which derives from its Dutch spelling Jogjakarta. In Javanese (and Dutch) it is pronounced [joɡjaˈkartɔ]. It is also referred to more casually as Jogja.
The city of Yogyakarta is the capital of the province.
Geography
Yogyakarta is located in south-central Java. It is surrounded by the province of Central Java (Jawa Tengah) and the Indian Ocean in the south.
The population of DIY in 2003 was approximately 3,000,000. The province of Yogyakarta has a total area of 3,185.80 km2. Yogyakarta has the second-smallest area of the provinces in Indonesia, after the Jakarta Capital Region. However it has, along with adjacent areas in Central Java, some of the highest population densities of Java.
History
The Yogyakarta Sultanate, formally the Sultanate of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, was formed in 1755 when the existing Sultanate of Mataram was divided by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in two under the Treaty of Giyanti. This treaty states that the Sultanate of Mataram was to be divided into the Sultanate of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat with Yogyakarta as the capital and Mangkubumi who became Sultan Hamengkubuwono I as its Sultan and the Sultanate of Surakarta Hadiningrat with Surakarta as the capital andPakubuwono III who was the ruler of the Sultanate of Mataram as its Sultan. The Sultan Hamengkubuwono I spent the next 37 years building the new capital, with the Kraton as the centerpiece and the court at Surakarta as the blueprint model. By the time he died in 1792, his territory exceeded Surakarta's.
The ruler Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX (April 12, 1912 - 1988) held a degree from the Dutch Leiden University, and held for a time the largely ceremonial position of Vice-President of Indonesia, in recognition of his status, as well as Minister of Finance and Minister of Defense.
In support of Indonesia declaring independence from the Dutch and Japanese occupation, in September 5, 1945, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX of Yogya and Sri Paku Alam VIII in Yogya declared their sultanates to be part of the Republic of Indonesia. The declaration is as follows:
"We, Hamengkubuwono IX, Sultan of the Land of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, declared:
- That Land of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat function as a monarchy as a Special Territory of the Republic of Indonesia
- That we as the Regional Head of Yogyakarta held control and power in the Land of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, and upon that cause in which the situation nowadays all government elements in the Land of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat from this moment is all under our control and with it too all other authorities we take over entirely.
- That the connection between the Land of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat and the Central Government of the Republic of Indonesia is direct and we will only bear responsibility upon our Land directly to the President of the Republic of Indonesia.
We ordered that all residents of the Land of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to heed our mandate.
Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, 28 Puasa, Ehe, 1876" (Javanese Calendar), Gregorian Date: 5 Sept 1945
In return for this support, the declaration of Special Authority over Yogyakarta was then granted fully in 1950.
By this act, Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX was appointed as governor for life. During the Indonesian National Revolution against the Dutch after World War II (1945-1950), the capital of the newly declaredIndonesian republic was temporarily moved to Yogyakarta when the Dutch reoccupied Jakarta from January 1946 until August 1950.
The current ruler of Yogyakarta is his son, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, who holds a law degree fromUniversitas Gadjah Mada. Upon the elder sultan's death, the position of governor, according to the agreement with Indonesia, was to pass to his heir. However, the central government at that time insisted on an election. In 1998, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X was elected as governor by the provincial house of representatives (DPRD) of Yogyakarta, defying the will of the central government. "I may be a sultan," he has been quoted in Asia Week as saying, "but is it not possible for me to also be a democrat?"
City
Located within the Yogyakarta province, Yogyakarta city is known as a center of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry and puppet shows. It is also famous as a center for Indonesian higher education. At Yogyakarta's center is the kraton, or Sultan's palace. While the city sprawls in all directions from the kraton, the core of the modern city is to the north.
