Teruntuk Yang ….
Teruntuk yang……..
BERTAHAN MENCINTAI SESEORANG YANG SUDAH PERGI,
Hal paling menyedihkan dalam hidup ialah bila kau bertemu seseorang
lalu jatuh cinta hanya kemudian pada akhirnya menyadari bahwa dia
bukanlah jodohmu dan kau telah menyia-nyiakan bertahun-tahun untuk
seseorang yang tidak layak. Kalau sekarang ia sudah tidak layak 10
tahun dari sekarang pun ia juga tak akan layak. Biarkan dia pergi,
lupakanlah.. ….
Teruntuk ,
YANG INGIN MENGUASAI,
Hatimu patah melihat yang kau cintai berbahagia dengan orang lain,
tapi akan lebih sakit lagi mengetahui bahwa yang kau cintai ternyata
tidak berbahagia denganmu
Teruntuk yang…….. .
TAKUT MENGAKUI,
Cinta menyakitkan bila kau putuskan hubungan dengan seseorang tapi
lebih sakit lagi bila seseorang memutuskan hubungan denganmu, tapi
cinta paling menyakitkan bila orang yang kita cintai sama sekali
tidak mengetahui perasaanmu terhadapnya.

Riwayat Marga – Mandailing – oleh : Abdoellah Loebis
“…Maka karena itoe doeloe tiap2 kampoeng asalnja dengan kampoeng-kampoeng jang terdiri dari kampeong asalnja itoe, ditempati oleh satoe marga. Tetapi lama kelamaan, perpindahan dan lain-lain hal didalam djadjahan atau daerah dari pada satoe marga orang-orang jang dari lain marga datang atau sebaliknja marga itoe mendatangi marga lain. Marilah ambil doea marga oempamanja A dan B; antara mana jang satoe marga sama lainnja boleh berkawin, bahwa oleh perpindahan perkawinan dari satoe marga terdjadilah kepada lainnja. Dari sebab itoelah terdapat berbagai-bagai dan banjak marga pada tiap-tiap kampoeng, dan soesah sekali sekarang dapat diketahoei soekoe mana jang asalnja pendoedoek kampoeng itoe. Marga itoe berkembanglah disegenap kampoeng atau negeri. Asalnja pada tiap-tiap kampoeng hanja terdapat biasanja doea marga; jang pertama marga jang poenja kampoeng itoe, dan lainnja marga jang datang, namanja di-Mandailing bajo-bajo.
Maka karena itoe sebagai kita katakan tadi, bahwa perpindahan itoe terdjadinja atas doea marga, marga jang satoe boleh berkawin dengan marga jang didapatinja itoe. Marga jang boleh bersiambilan berkawin itoe akan terdjadi disebabkan dibangoenkan oleh marga-marga jang berperinggan dengan dia. Demikianlah marga jang poenja negeri itoe ada poenja bajo-bajo, dan bajo-bajonja ada poela poenja bajo-bajo, djadi dengan keadaan begitoe lama kelamaan terdapatlah dalam satoe kampoeng berbagai bagai marga.
Marga-marga itoe, jang tertentoe oempamanja di-Mandailing Djoeloe dan Pakantan, adalah:
1. Loebis (Loebis itoe terbahagi doea jaitoe Loebis Hoeta Nopan dan Loebis Singa Soro).
2. Nasoetion
3. Parindoeri
4. Batoe Bara
5. Matondang
6. Daoelae
7. Nai Moente
8. Nasiboean

b. Nasoetian Tambangan
c. Nasoetian Borotan
d. Nasoetian Lantjat
e. Nasoetian Djior
f. Nasoetian Tonga
g. Nasoetian Dolok

Dan di-Mandailing menoeroet rapport itoe tidak ada bangsa Batak lagi”.

History of Nasution
Orang-orang Mandailing bermarga Nasution meyakini mereka adalah keturunan Si Baroar yang pada masa bayinya ditemukan di tengah hutan oleh Sutan Pulungan raja dari Huta Bargot di Mandailing Godang. Versi lain mengatakan bahwa “Nasution yang pertama kiranya adalah putera dari Raja Iskandar Muda dari Pagar Ruyong (pusat dari kerjaan Minangkabau kuno), yang pada gilirannya adalah cucu dari Sultan Iskandar, nama bagi Alexander de Grote (the Great) dalam cerita-cerita Indonesia.
Dalam perjalanan menjelajahi pulau Sumatra, Iskandar Muda sampai berhubungan dengan seorang gadis bunian, yang melahirkan seorang anak lelaki untuknya.” Anak tersebutlah kemudiannya ditemukan Sutan Pulungan di tengah hutang sedang ia berburu.
Makamnya Si Baroar, leluhur marga Nasution di Panyabunga
Kisah tentang Si Baroar sangat meyakinkan bagi masyarakat Mandailing karena sekitar pertengahan abad yang lalu kisah tersebut telah dituliskan oleh Willem Iskander (1840-1876) dalam buku karangannya berjudul Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumpuk-Rumpuk. Buku tersebut yang ditulis dalam bahasa Mandailing dipakai untuk bacaan di sekolah-sekolah sampai pada masa awal kemerdekaan Indonesia.

How To Save Your Own Heart
- Get at least seven hours of sleep.
That’s per night, not week. And men—a needier breed—require eight. The benefit? Ask us if you still need an explanation when you wake up in the morning. - Know your blood pressure.
What’s the fastest way to age an artery? Subject it to high blood pressure, which will harden it like a garden hose that’s been left out in the sun. A range of 120/80 to 130/85 mmHg is considered below the hypertension point, but it’s not ideal. In fact, reducing your blood pressure from 130/85 to 115/76 can make your body up to ten years younger. There’s no data to show that using drugs to lower blood pressure offers the full youth effect. So for now, you guessed it: Exercise, lose weight, reduce stress. The good news is the benefits from doing physical activity are just about instantaneous. - Avoid smoky bars.
Don’t let people puff away in your space. An hour of passive smoke can cause the same amount of aging as having two to four cigarettes. (If you’re doing the smoking, we’re not going to bother nagging. You know what to do.) - Learn something new. Love something you do.
Continuing to challenge the brain and being passionately engaged increases neuroplasticity, prompting the growth of extra connections. If you then have an injury like a stroke, the brain is better able to compensate for the trauma and lessen its effects. - Walk 30 minutes every day.
One study on men suggests that for every hour of exercise, you get two extra hours of life. Rather than the “30 minutes,” though, fixate on the “every day”—moving regularly is the active ingredient in exercise’s powerful antiaging effect. - Take half an aspirin daily.
Yes, those big studies came out last year saying low-dose aspirin does pretty much zilch to prevent heart attacks and cancer in women, but we still have little bits and pieces of the puzzle coming in—and the evidence is strong for aspirin’s reducing the risk of stroke. Let’s put it this way: People in the know take half an aspirin a day. If you’re over 40, we recommend half a 325 milligram tablet (or two baby aspirins), with half a glass of warm water both before and after you swallow so that you’re less likely to irritate your stomach. Check with your doctor to make sure you are aspirin tolerant. - Eat fish three times a week.
It may not be just the omega-3s in the oil that keep the heart and arteries humming along; a number of animal studies have also indicated that fish protein provides a separate boost to cardiovascular health. Eat a variety of low-mercury fish (such as wild salmon, catfish, or tilapia). And if you’re not nuts about seafood, an ounce of walnuts a day will give you a good dose of omega-3s. - Live within your means.
Feeling out of control financially can cost you not only sleep (see number one) but also arterial health due to chronic stress. A bankruptcy can put miles on your body’s odometer. - Floss and brush.
Periodontal disease, such as gingivitis, does not affect just the gums. Any chronic infection stimulates your body to defend itself, and part of the response is to protect against bleeding with an increase in clotting tendency—a recipe for heart attack. - Don’t leave home without a stress-reducing technique—or several.
Deep breathing, meditation, yoga, running, knitting—you can’t have too many ways to defuse stress. Even scrunching up your face as tightly as you can for 15 seconds and then releasing can deflect the pressure before it gets to you and starts wearing and tearing your cells.

Cinta
Cinta itu berasal dari hati.
Hati itu sesuatu yang tulus, ikhlas dan bersih.
Cinta akan terasa indah saat kita bisa mencintai seseorang dengan tulus dan seseorang yang dicintai juga mencintai kita seperti kita mencintainya.
Namun keindahan cinta itu tidak akan hilang bila cinta tak berbalas
Karena cinta adalah pengorbanan yang tulus, ikhlas dan bersih.
