Birth Order

Some psychologists believe that birth order, that is, where you are placed in your family, can have an influence on your personality. It is claimed that and awareness of a person's birth order can help us to understand ourselves, our families, our friends, and our position better. Of course, other factors such as co-workers and the environment must also be considered. However, researchers claim that birth order research may offer significant clues as to why peoples tend to be the way they are. It is believed that your genetics in the family influences your patterns of behavior, your ways of thinking, and your emotional responses. Birth order placement can help you to know what to expect of others, what to avoid, and how to get what you want. Knowledge of birth order can thus be of great herlp to parents, teachers, and employers

Happy Birthday Hanif!

today is saturday, today is Hanif's birthday! selamat ulang tahun yang ke 12 adek besarku... taun ini jangan kebanyakan makan, jangan nyebelin.

tadi pagi waktu gue dan adek-kakak ngucapin happy birthday ke dia, ayah bilang "who's birthday?" -____- ayah jarang sekali inget ulang tahun siapa pun. mungkin karena; orang madura emang sedikit yang ngerayain ulang tahun; islam juga nggak pernah ngajarin untuk ngerayain ulang tahun, gitu kata ayah. hari ulang tahun gue dan semua orang di rumah gue juga nggak lebih spesial dari hari hari biasa. nggak ada perayaan, kata ayah waktu ayah kecil juga agung mami nggak ngerayain hari ulangtahun anak anaknya. ulang tahun berarti umur lo berkurang satu tahun, sisa hidup lo berkurang satu tahun. dan lo makin tua satu tahun. cie anip tua. tapi gue dan kakak-adek selalu ngucapin happy birthday buat siapa aja yang lagi ulang tahun hehe.

hari ini front-office nec mau nikah! selamat yaa ms.rossi :D

SEJARAH GITAR

Banyak diantara kita yang beranggapan, bahwa alat musik Gitar berasal dari Spanyol. Kendati tak bisa dangkal, bahwa alat musik ini mulai populer dan berkembang di negeri Matador, namun sesungguhnya Spanyol bukanlah tempat lahirnya alat musik yang berdawai enam ini.

Melacak kembali sejarah alat musik petik yang kemudian lebih dikenal dengan nama Gitar, sebenarnya alat musik ini sudah dikenal sejak ribuan tahun yang silam. Gitar merupakan hasil perkembangan serta perubahan-perubahan yang cukup lama dari cikal bakal alat musik petik bangsa Moor yang disebut MOORISK.

Bangsa Moor dikenal sebagai bangsa pengembara. Sehalnya dengan Nomaden. Mereka, bangsa Moor, termasuk bangsa yang hidupnya selalu berpindah-pindah dari daerah satu ke daerah yang lain.

Bangsa Moor awalnya diperkirakan berasal dari daerah sekitar teluk Persi sekarang. Kemudian bangsa ini menyebar hingga ke daratan Eropa Selatan (Spanyol).

Sementara itu, bangsa Spanyol sendiri telah dikenal memiliki alat musik yang sangat populer, yakni Harpa. Lantaran itulah, kehadiran bangsa Moor yang membawa Moorisk (alat musik bangsa Moor) tidak mendapat perhatian sama sekali. Saat itu, Moorisk hanya dimainkan oleh rakyat jelata dan belum mendapat tempat yang layak di hati masyarakat.

Pada saat kemudian, kedudukan alat musik Harpa yang sangat menguasai Spanyol mulai tergeser. Terutama setelah Moorisk mengalami perubahan bentuk sedemikian rupa. Pun demikian, saat itu Gitar belumlah sesederhana seperti yang kita lihat sekarang. Bahkan ketika itu masih banyak yang menggunakan 7 sampai 9 dawai.

Sekitar abad ke XV, beberapa musisi Spanyol berusaha memelopori untuk menetapkan jumlah dawai serta susunan nada-nadanya. Dengan demikian dimaksud untuk lebih mempermudah tehnik memainkannya. Termasuk juga menambah kemungkinan-kemungkinan nada yang dapat kdikeluarkan oleh alat tersebut.

Mulai saat itu nama Moorisk ikut berubah menjadi CITHARRA. Dalam perkembangannya, alat musik tersebut pada saat kemudian ternyata sangat digemari di seluruh pelosok Dunia hingga kini. Citharra kemudian lebih dikenal dengan nama Guitar atau Gitar.

Begitulah sebenarnya dan bagaimana pun juga, bangsa Spanyol memang turut andil besar dalam mengembangkan jenis alat musik Gitar. Di negeri Spanyol pulalah akhirnya alat musik ini diproklamirkan. Hingga kini orang lebih enal bahwa Gitar bermula dari Spanyol. Bahkan banyak orang menyebutnya sebagai Gitar Spanyol (Spanish Guitar)
