kalianlah sahabat-sahabatku ,
penyejuk bagi jiwa .
selalu mendengar saat aku mengeluh , padahal kalianpun sedang berada dalam pilu .
selalu menghibur saat aku kecewa , padahal kalianpun tengah ada dalam gelisah .
kalianlah sahabat-sahabatku ,
penuntunku saat buta .
payung saat hujan dan terik .
penerang saat berjalan di lorong gelap .
penunjuk saat tersesat .
pendengar setia saat bercerita tentang segala hal .
pernah kita sama-sama tidak sejalan
dan untuk sesaat aku sangat kesal karnamu
tapi , dengan sekejap segalanya menjadi lebih sempurna .
kita tetap bersama dalam senang ataupun sedih .
entah apa jadinya hidupku tanpa celoteh riang kalian .
tidak akan ada penyejuk untuk jiwaku .
aku yakin inilah takdir Tuhan yang telah mempertemukan dan mengenalkan aku pada kalian ..
banyak waktu yang telah kulewati bersama kalian .
banyak kisah yang telah kualami bersama kaliabanyak khayalan yang tercipta bersama kalian .
dan ..
banyak mimpi-mimpi yang terinspirasi dari kalian .
aku tau , tidak selamanya hidup ini indah .
terkadang ada yang datang , dan ada yang pergi .
terkadang hidup begitu membahagiakan , terkadang juga begitu menyakitkan .
terkadang aku menjauh dari kalian , terkadang kalian menjauh dariku .
tapi itulah hidup ..
dan begitulah kehidupan dunia , kadang sangat bersahabat .
tak jarang pula kehidupan menjadi begitu pelik .
begitu pula dengan persahabatan .
PERSAHABATAN KITA
aku telah mencoba untuk selalu tampil sempurna .
menjadi sahabat sesungguhnya bagi kalian .
namun ..
harus ku akui , tidak jarang ku temui kegagalan hingga aku merasa menjadi begitu menakutkan .
aku telah mencoba untuk selalu tersenyum .
membahagiakan kalian .
tak jarang aku menjadi angkuh dan egois, menyakitkan hati kalian .
kekurangdewasaanku , dan segala keterbatasan di diriku , kebodohanku , dan segala kekhilafanku sering kali menjadi jalan buntu persahabatan .
namun ..
anugerah Tuhan begitu indah .
kalian kembali datang sebagai jembatan kebahagiaan penuntun ke arah kedewasaan .
menyadarkanku dari segala khilaf .
dan kembali membuatku tersenyum menatap diri sendiri .
mungkin kita akan bercerai-berai .
entah bagaimana kelak hidupku tanpa kalian .
namun ..
kalianlah sahabat-sahabat terbaik yang pernah aku miliki .
entah bagaimana harus berterima kasih, membalas segala keindahan hidup bersama kalian .
yang ku raih hari ini adalah berasal dari cinta kalian .
yang ku peluk hari ini adalah berasal dari semangat kalian .
yang ku rengkuh hari ini adalah berasal dari senyum hangat kalian .
dan , semangatku hari ini adalah berasal dari tawa membahagiakan dari kalian .
mungkin mentari kita berbeda .
jalan tertujupun tak sama .
arti keindahan pada diri-diri kita pun tidak serupa .
dan , untuk saat nanti yang tidak pernah kita pikirkan .
marii jalani saja apa yang ada sekarang .
tak usah pedulikan segala hal .
mari jadikan kisah kita kenangan terindah di masa nanti .
lihat saja segalanya dengan hati, pastikan
segalanya akan menjadi indah . :D

Adverb of Clause
1. Introduction:
Examples:
When she was in Miami, she visited many friends.
She visited many friends when she was in Miami.
When she was in Miami: is an adverb clause.
She visited many friends: Independent clause.
An adverb clause cannot stand alone as a sentence. It must be
connected to an independent clause.
When an adverb clause precedes an independent clause, a
comma is used to separate the clauses.
When the adverb clause follows, usually no comma is used.
Examples:
Because she wanted to visit her friends, she went to Miami.
She went to Miami because she wanted to visit her friends.
Like when, because introduces an adverb clause.
The words used to introduce adverb clauses are
called subordinating conjunction.
Time:
After, before, when, while, as by the time (that), whenever, since,
until, as soon as, once, as so long as.
Cause and effect:
Because, since, now that, as so long as, inasmuch as,

Examples:
After she (had) came, she turned on the radio.
After she comes, she will turn on the radio.
Before she came, she (had) turned on the radio.
Before she comes, she will turn on the radio.
The adverb clause contains a present tense while the
independent clause contains a future time.
When he came, she was turning on the radio.
When he came, she had already turned on the radio.
When he came, she turned on the radio.
When he was out, she turned on the radio.
When he comes tomorrow, she will turn on the radio.
While she was listening to the radio, he knocked at the door.
As she was listening to the radio, he knocked at the door.
As, while = during this time.
By the time he came, she had already listened the news.
By the time he comes, she will listen the news.
By the time = one event is completed before another event.
She listens to the radio whenever he comes.
Whenever = every time when
She stayed at home until he came.
Until = till = to that time and then no longer.
She hasn’t listened to the radio since he came.
Since = from that time to the present.
As soon as he knocks at the door, she will turn off the radio.
Once he knocks at the door, she will turn off the radio.
As soon as = once = when one event happens, another
Event happens soon afterwards.
He won’t come as long as she smokes.
He will never come so long as she doesn’t call him.
As long as = so long as = during all that time, from beginning to end.
3.Cause and effect relationships with adverb clauses.
Because:
Examples:
Because he wanted to visit his friends, he went to Miami.
He went to Miami because he wanted to visit his friends.
Since:
Examples:

Since = because
Now that:

As = because

As long as he works for this company, he can’t learn anything.
As/so long as = because
Inasmuch as (very formal):
Inasmuch as anybody is responsible, the situation becomes worse and worse.
Inasmuch as = because
Part II: Other Ways of Showing Cause and Effect Relationships:
1. Such … that and so … that:
Such … that encloses a modified noun:
Such + adjective +noun + that
So … that encloses an adjective or adverb:
So + adjective + that
So + adverb + that
Examples:
Because the exam was easy, they could pass it. (1)
It was such easy exam that they could pass it. (2)
The exam was so easy that they could pass it. (3)
(1), (2) and (3) have the same meaning.
So … that is used with many, few, much and little.
Examples:
They worked so hard that they passed the exam.
She made so many mistakes that she failed the exam.
He had so much time that he went to hike.
They have so little work to do that they share it.
He has so few books that he wants to buy some.
Sometimes in speaking, that is omitted.
The exam was so easy that I could pass it.

2.Using “In order to”:
In order to = to. It is used to express purpose.
It answers the question “Why”?
Examples:
He went to Miami because he wanted to visit his friends.
He went to Miami (in order) to visit his friends.
Don’t use for with a verb to express purpose. Sometimes
we use for to express purpose but with a noun.
He went to Miami for business.
3. Using: So …that:
So that = in order to
So that = in order that.
So that + can:
So that is often used rather in order to when the idea of ability
is being expressed.
Examples:
He is going to make a registration in order to be able to take courses.
He is going to make a registration so (that) he can take courses.
So that + could:
Could is used after so that in past sentences.
Examples:

He repaired his car so (that) his friend could use it.
May and might may also be used after that, but are not as
common as can and could.
So that + will:
The use of will after so that gives the idea that someone does
something in order to make sure that something else is
the result.
Examples:
She fill her car up in order to make sure that she will not run
out of gaz during her trip across The Nevada desert.
She fills her car up so (that) she will not run out of gaz
during her trip across The Nevada desert.
So that would:
Would is used in past tense.
Examples:
Last week, he early left his car in the garage in order to make sure
that it would be ready by eleven.
Last week, he left leaves his car in the garage so (that) it would
be ready by eleven.
4.Using: “because of” and “due to”:
Examples:
Because she was sick, she didn’t come to attend the speech.
Because of her sickness, she didn’t come to attend the speech.
Due to her sickness, she didn’t come to attend the speech.
Because is an adverb. It introduces an adverb clause. It is followed by
a subject and verb.
Because of and due to are prepositions. They are followed by a
noun object.
Sometimes, usually, in more formal writing, due to is followed by a
noun clause introduced by the fact that.
Due to the fact that she was sick, she didn’t come to attend
the speech.
5. Using “therefore”:
Examples:
He passed his exams because he worked very hard.
Therefore is called a transition (or conjunctive adverb)
He worked very hard. Therefore, he passed his exams.
He worked very hard. He, therefore, he passed his exams.
He worked very hard. He passed his exams, therefore.
A semicolon may be used instead a period:
He worked very hard; therefore, he passed his exams.
Consequently is also a transition and has the same meaning
as therefore:
He worked very hard. Consequently, he passed his exams.
A transition is used with the second sentence of a pair. It
shows the relationship of the second idea to the first idea.
A transition is movable within the second sentence.

Adjective clause
Adjective clauses
Look at the italicized group words in the following sentence.
The house that I live in belongs to my father. (Which house?)
Here the group of words that I live in says something about the noun house. Therefore it does the work of an adjective. It also contains a subject and a predicate of its own which means that it is a clause. And because it does the work of an adjective it is called an adjective clause.
Definition
An adjective clause is a group of words which contains a subject and a predicate of its own and does the work of an adjective.
More examples are given below.
• I know the place where he was born. (Here the adjective clause where he was born qualifies the noun place.)
• The house that you see over there is a hundred years old. (Here the adjective clause that you see over there modifies the noun house.)
Now study the pair of sentences given below.
• I met a girl with blue eyes.
• I met a girl whose eyes were blue.
In sentence 1, the group of words with blue eyes says something about the noun girl. It makes sense, but not complete sense. It is therefore called an adjective phrase.
In sentence 2, the group of words whose eyes were blue also says something about the girl. It has a subject and a predicate of its own. Therefore it is called an adjective clause.
We further notice that the adjective clause ‘with blue eyes’ is equivalent to the adjective clause ‘whose eyes were blue’ and can therefore be replaced by it.
