Catatan Malam

Heningkanlah waktu sejenak untuk sekedar mereview lintasan peristiwa hari ini semenjak menapakkan kaki dari atas tempat tidur sampai sebelum kembali merebahkan diri. Kemudian hadirkan lintasan itu dalam bayangan yang teramat jelas, sehingga kita seperti memutar ulang rekaman kejadian selama seharian penuh. Dari detik pertama hingga setiap putaran waktu yang berlalu, dari kedipan mata pertama setelah bangun tidur sampai kembali mata ini terpejam kembali, dan dari setiap helaan nafas yang terus berhembus tak hentinya,juga dari hitungan awal langkah, gerak raga, dan lontaran kata hingga sebelum habisnya malam.

Kemudian hitunglah satu persatu perbuatan baik sepanjang hari ini, dimulai dari langkah untu k membasuh muka di sepertiga malam, dan menunduk rukuk di hamparan sajadah, mungkin ada butiran-butiran air bening mengalir membasahi pipi, bahkan hingga menjelang fajar pun masih tergenang sisa-sisa air itu di kelopak mata. Lalu kita lanjutkan langkah ini keluar rumah untuk mencari rezeki, mencari ilmu, menyusur jalanan seharian. Berapa banyak dzikir terbilang dari mulut kita sepanjang jalan, berapa banyak permohonan ampunan kita bersama tangan-tangan tertadah. Ketika terdengar panggilan-panggilan-Nya, bukan cuma seberapa banyak atau lamanya merapatkan kening ini, melainkan juga kesungguhan untuk melepaskan semua kepentingan untuk berserah diri kepada Rabb sebagai sebuah kepentingan yang utama, melainkan seberapa besar khidmat ini dalam kekhusu'an menjadikan diri sebagai abdi-Nya dengan menanggalkan segala urusan yang tak jarang membiaskan makna ketuhanan kita.

Hadirkan pula wajah-wajah orang yang kita santuni hari ini dengan infaq, shodaqoh yang sengaja kita sisihkan untuk mereka. Mungkin juga langkah-langkah kebaikan yang kita tempuh, gerakan-gerakan tangan yang melakukan berbagai kebajikan, atau sekedar isyarat-isyarat kecil dari seluruh anggota tubuh ini yang melambangkan penghambaan kepada Rabb yang esa. Ingatlah kembali setiap rangkaian do'a yang tersusun rapih di setiap waktu, bersamaan dengan itu, untaian kata hikmah dan nasihat kebenaran tak luput dari ingatan kita. Sehingga semua amal shaleh sekecil apapun mampu kita putarulang untuk kemudian kita menjadikannya sebagai persembahan yang menurut kita berharga di hadapan-Nya, sebagai perbekalan yang kita anggap sudah mencukupi untuk perjalanan negeri akhirat.

Adakah yang terlewat dalam putaran rekaman peristiwa itu? Atau adakah yang terlupa dalam lintasan-lintasan kejadian kehidupan ini? Jelas dan tentu saja ada dan bahkan seringkali kita melupakan atau dengan sengaja menghapusnya. Bagaimana dengan perbuatan-perbuatan buruk yang tidak kita sadari menyertai setiap lintasan kebaikan itu? Maka kemudian, untuk mengetahuinya, ambillah kembali rekaman itu dan putarlah kembali dari awal. Semenjak mata terbuka hingga kembali terpejam, sejak langkah awal hingga kembali keatas pembaringan, semuanya, selama nafas terus berhembus, dalam setiap kedipan mata dan semua kata yang terucap.

Adakah terbersit rasa diri paling shaleh dalam setiap berdiri, sujud dan rukuk yang kita lakukan sehari-hari. Mungkinkah tak pernah terlintas –karena merasa paling banyak beribadah- dalam benak ini memastikan diri masuk ke surga-Nya. Meski padahal kita sangat sadar bahwa Allah-lah sang penentu kepastian. Kemudian bagaimana dengan pikiran-pikiran, gerak dan langkah kita yang terkadang mengkesampingkan keberadaan-Nya sementara lidah ini terus melafazkan dzikir. Adakah riya', ujub, sombong dan bangga diri mengiringi setiap perbuatan baik, setiap uluran tangan, dan setiap langkah kebajikan kita.

Kalaupun sudah banyak jumlah rakaat yang kita lakukan, sudahkah terus semakin kita perbaiki kualitasnya. Jika pun sudah sekian banyak shodaqoh terhulur dari tangan ini, sudahkah kita melakukannya diatas bingkai keikhlasan serta berkesinambungan. Andainya pun sudah membludaknya genangan airmata karena rasa takutnya akan adzab Allah, sudahkah kita mengikutinya dengan kesungguhan menjauhkan diri dari segala yang menimbulkan murka-Nya. Semestinyalah kita menyadari bahwa goretan-goretan hitam dalam lembaran kehidupan ini akan mengurangi nilai perbuatan baik kita. Seharusnya semakin kita sadari bahwa lintasan kelam yang menyertai ukiran indah amal shaleh kita akan memberatkan timbangan kita ke arah seberang kebajikan.

Maka teruslah memperbanyak sekaligus meningkatkan kualitas ibadah kita karena kita tak pernah tahu ibadah mana yang diterima Allah. Perbanyaklah lafaz dzikir kita karena kita juga tak bisa memastikan berapa banyak dzikir kita yang sampai kepada-Nya karena terlalu seringnya kita menyebut nama Allah dari bibir yang sebenarnya tidak sungguh-sungguh mengucapkannya, dari hati yang tidak juga bergetar saat menyebutnya. Perbanyak jugalah infaq shodaqoh kita, karena kitapun tak pernah bisa menilai uluran tangan kita yang mana yang bisa menghantarkan kita kepada pintu surga-Nya. Utamakanlah hikmah dan kebaikan yang keluar dari mulut kita dengan mengurangi kemungkinan kata-kata cela, fitnah, juga hati yang penuh dengki, iri dan dari rasa yang tak pernah puas diri, syukur, tawadhu' dan qanaah, karena kita pun tak kan bisa menerka sikap diri yang manakah yang akan menyelamatkan kita dari api neraka.....

Doa seorang Pencinta

Tuhan,
Malam ini adalah malam pengenalan karakter kami yang sungguh hebat. Malam yg lebih dahsyat untuk menyatukan, menyeimbangkan antara 2 hati dan 2 pikiran.
Pelajaran demi pelajaran ku ambil. Pengalaman demi pengalaman ku dapat. Dan ini adalah tugas terbesar dalam hidupku untuk bisa memahami arti sebuah basa-basi. Ya, hanya sebuah basa-basi. Aku tak cukup pandai untuk berpura-pura mengatakan hal yang baik untuk sebuah kepentingan org lain/bersama. Aku pun tak cukup lihai menilai kalimat yang terlontar dari lawan bicaraku apakah kalimat tersebut hanya basa-basi, gertakan halus, atau benar-benar kalimat yang benar dia inginkan. Entah aku yang berperasa berlebihan, tak punya hati, tak punya otak, atau logikaku tak seimbang.

Malam ini aku melakukan tindakan bodoh dan nekat karena menerima satu kalimat tanpa aku saring maknanya terlebih dahulu. Karena aku pun benar-benar tidak bisa membedakan satu hal tsb serius diucapkan/ hanya kalimat bercanda. Setelah kulakukan, aku menyesal luar biasa. Marah dan gondok sangat..

Dan lagi-lagi, aku melakukannya pd lelaki yang sangat sayang padaku, dan akupun menyayangi dia seutuhnya.
Tuhan, bolehkah aku memintamu untuk memberikan dia padaku? Untuk menemani sepanjang sisa hidupku di dunia? Mendampingi ku dalam suka maupun duka? Berjalan beriringan menuju ka'bah Mu, menuju pintu Surga-Mu?

Tuhan,
Aku jatuh cinta bukan karena parasnya yang hampir sempurna, tapi karena cara dia mencintaiku, karena cara dia menunjukan rasa sayangnya itu. Aku pernah merasakan dicintai sebegitu dahsyatnya, namun tak berujung kebahagiaan. Aku mohon pada-Mu, aku ingin dia untuk yang terakhir kalinya. Aku ingin sayangnya dari dia.. Dan pribadinya, Yasallam...

Tuhan,
Entah darimana datangnya keyakinan ini, aku yakin datangnya pun dr Engkau yang Maha Pengasih.
Entah darimana datangnya rasa sayang kami, aku yakin datangnya dari Engkau Sang Maha Penyayang.
Semoga doa mlm ini di dengar, dan dikabulkan Allah SWT.
Amien ya Rabbal Alamin..

Daily thought in your mind.

There's a very fine line between sarcastic and being a callous jerk. Many, many people obviously have no idea where that line starts or stops. The best way to determine which is to imagine your words coming out of someone else's mouth and imagine they're being said about you. That should put things in perspective and help you not be someone you'd want to strangle if you were on the receiving end of your own 'sarcasm'.

Dreamer


Dreams.
Everyone has them. Some good, some bad. Some you wish you could forget.
Sometimes you realize, you've outgrown them.
Sometimes you feel like they're finally coming true.
And some of us, just have nightmares.
But no matter what you dream, when morning comes, reality intrudes and the dream begins to slip away.
Dream a little dream of me.

Respect

Listen with both ears. Although this might sound strange, it is all too often that you think you are listening fully to people and are thinking of something else. Nor should you double-guess what someone is trying to say because in doing so you are not respecting that person or what they are saying. You are trying to hurry them along, which does not honour that person.


Best Regards,

Delirium


I'll tell you another secret, this one for your own good. You may think the past has something to tell you. You may think that you should listen, should strain to make out it's whispers, should bend over backward, stoop down low to hear it's voice breathed up from the ground, from the dead places.you may think there's something in it for you, something to understand or make sense of.

But I know the truth: I know from the nights of Coldness. I know the past will drag you backward and down, have you snatching at whispers of wind and the gibberish of trees rubbing together, trying to decipher some code, trying to piece together what was broken. It's hopeless. The past is nothing but a weight. It will build inside of you like a stone.

Take it from me: If you hear the past speaking to you, feel it tugging at your back and running its fingertips up your spine, the best thing to do - the only thing - is run.

Berapa lama lagi Ya Allah aku menahan rasa ini? Rasa sakit ini?
Berapa lama lagi aku bertahan, berjuang demi kebahagiaanku sendiri...
Berapa lama lagi aku mencoba mengerti, mengalah kepada keadaan, menerima kondisinya...
Berapa lama lagi aku diuji untuk naik satu level menjadi hambaMu yang sabar Ya Allah...
Berapa lama lagi aku bisa bertahan sendiri, tanpa di dampingi, mengerti tanpa dimengerti..

Ya Allah,
Jika memang kebahagiaan yang akan kutuai bersamanya adalah salah, berikan aku jalan.
Dan jika memang benar, mohon mudahkanlah...
Keresahan hati tak terbendung lagi, yang ada saat ini hanya keikhlasan hati..
Ambil dia Ya Allah jika memang bukan untuk ku.. Berikan kebahagiaan untuknya, dan semoga segalanya mendapat yg terbaik.

Pintaku hanya satu, berikanlah perasaan lapang dada dan menerima semua keadaan yang ada. Berikan kesabaran dan keikhlasan hati. Aku percaya segala mukjizat Mu, segala rezeki yang akan Kau berikan kelak. Amien ya rabbal alamin.

Tuhan...
Beri aku kantuk, aku tak bisa tidur.
Otakku tak berhenti memikirkannya
Jantung terus berdegup kencang setiap mengingatnya.
Mataku terus menatap huruf demi huruf, kata perkata dan kalimat pesannya.

Tuhan, hilangkanlah semua rasa.
Hapuskan bayangannya.
Tolong Tuhan, kumohon tolong hentikan..

Sebuah karya dan narasi indah Om Dan..

Tentang Kerinduan

Inikah jalan kesucian

memangku butiran airmata tasbih

saat hati mengambil keputusan dalam kebaikan

melukis kerinduan

membimbing penantian

menjaga tetesan demi tetesan wudhu

berlinang

tergenang

mengenang

sejuk tenang

do'a-do'a terucap lembut

dalam takbir rusuk merasuk

dalam sendi-sendi kalbu terpaut

sebuah cinta makna dalam sajadah

inilah impian istana

dikemegahan istana hati Mu

ajarilah kami

dalam goresan kaligrafi

merangkainya menjadi Asma'

dalam secawan embun ketenangan

memangku butiran airmata tasbih

disetiap kalimah Mu

penyatuan rusuk kalbu

terijab dalam rindu penantian

disisi airmata kalimah-kalimah bertasbih

Waiting the Right Pilot

She's taking her time making up the reasons, to justify all the hurt inside. Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes. Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one. They're saying, Mama never loved her much and daddy never keeps in touch. That's why she shies away from human affection. But somewhere in a private place, she packs her bags for outer world, and now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot, to come..and save her.
And she'll say to him: "I would fly you to the moon, if you'll be my baby. I got a ticket for the universe where we belong, but if you would be my baby"
She can't remember a time, when she felt needed. If love was red then she was colour-blind. All her friends, they've been tried for reasons, and crimes that were never defined. She's saying : "Love is like a barren place.. and reaching out for human faith is.. Is like a journey I just don't have a map for." So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive, send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars.

Review about Waiting for Forever movie


I will give myself the freedom to say that this movie captures the essence of what love is. It shows how people react to love in different ways. It shows a story about a stalker, But it's not like some weirdo, maniac, it's a lost guy scared and filled with fears, not knowing what to do, and how to do it, how to approach a girl that left him an impression from childhood.

Waiting for forever is a story about love, but it's not a typical love story. It's a Movie that at first glance you would say "Ooohh again the same old true love cliche". It not one of those, this movie surprised me. It has a strong emotional and fictional, idealistic side, but it's just made so real that it will drive you to tears in the first 10 minutes. It's a real life story. It kept me hanging to the end of every scene to see what will happen next.

I mostly liked the scenes. Everything was shown with pictures and the body language of the characters. Words aren't needed much, but there is also lot of narrative parts that made Waiting for forever leave a big impression to me.

The characters are very lovable, interesting and fun to watch. You will get yourself so much into the movie that one moment you will love them, and the next you will hate them and their behavior. You will see how many people are just so materialistic that they forgot about their family and the ones who love them, People who won't do anything that is out of the ordinary and change their behavior because they are busy workaholics.

I recommend "Waiting for Forever" because it leaves a big impression. A unique story with unique characters that would make you want more of it and leave you breathless and also filled with fresh air. A story that is out of the ordinary and different from Hollywood's love stories, who repeat all the same things.

So, grab from your DVD's store and enjoy the movie :)

Jika

Berhenti. Tak berbalik arah. Perlahan namun tetap melangkah. Jalanku hanya maju, tak ada mundur, tak ada berpaling. Hanya ke depan. Melihat yang ada di depan mata. Bergerak tanpa rasa gundah. Berpacu untuk masa bahagia. Ini jalanku, ini kisahku. Aku memilih dan aku menentukan.
Jika kau tak satu tujuan, maka tinggalkan.
Jika kita berbeda, carilah yang sama.
Aku benar-benar berhenti, sebelum kecewa atau mengecewakan.
Mungkin pilihanmu bukan aku, mungkin dia, atau yang lain.

The Moment

If you ask me, there's a moment in everybody's life when you're helpess, just helpless with hope and trust. And then something happens, something too big to understand, and then everything changes forever.

If you ask me, you start out with goodness so pure and clear you don't even know its there because that's the way it is when you don't know anything, and then the news begin to arrive.

Another Question

What would you say if he came to you one day, and he told you that in his dreams he sucks you into his lungs and at that point you go into his bloodstream?

But you're actually physically you are inside of his blood, inside his heart, the chambers and valves and such..
How would that make you feel?

And I just answer: oh.... *melting*

Question

What is happening to me? I don't know I feel like I'm going crazy. I know when I said that everything was fine, but everything's not fine. Why does everything have to be so hard? You know, why can't it just be easy? I just have to keep on pretending and pretending and pretending just to keep myself from bawling my eyes out forever.

God's Hand

I looked at your face and I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time
I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
Couldn't care less about the lies, you couldn't find the time to cry
We forgot about love..
We forgot about faith..
We forgot about trust..
and we forgot about us.

Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven
Where it began back in God's hands

You said that you had said all that you had to say
You said baby it's the end of the day
And we gave a lot but it wasn't enough
We got so tired that we just gave up

We didn't respect it
We went and neglected it
We didn't deserve it
But I never expected this



Sincerely yours,
-nyun-

Love urself perfectly

You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to have an unusual knowledge. And you don't have to be super pious. You only need to be decent. Be sincere. Be real. Be straight up. Don't be a fake. Don't be like you think you try to act pious on the outside but you know what really happens in the inside. Be the best person as you can be, do as much as you can.


Dedicated for my friend, oh well not again.... my ex-friend :)

waiting in lines

We spend half our life sleeping, but we spend our whole life waiting. Waiting in lines, waiting for times, waiting to be old enough, waiting for a call. We're always waiting. We just don't always realize it. Waiting for someone to say something, waiting for them to notice you. constantly waiting for that one person, and they have no idea you're waiting for them.

Difficult Decision

When you're standing on a line between giving up and seeing how much more you can take. It's like you think that if you wait a little longer, maybe things will eventually get better. But at the same time, you feel like you've already waited long enough and nothing has changed yet… and you just can't seem to take it in anymore, so you might as well give up. 

Overthinker

I hate it.
I make a big deal out of the most simplest things. Create problems within my own head. Get all worked up over nothing. I wish I could just stop overthinking things, its only making things worse than it actually is.
I need to learn how to stop overthinking the littlest things. And too bad still I can't help it.

A past letter

I wish I could tell you the things I never got the chance to. I wish I was with you now, to see you smile again. I wish we had more time but time goes by so fast. The moment comes and then the moment passes by in the blink of an eye.

And If I had one wish, i wouldn't ask for money, I wouldn't ask for fame, I wouldn't ask for the power to make this world change, If i could have one thing that one thing that I would chose is one more ordinary day with you,..


Sincerely,

Your past loved.

What's Left

Watch my life, pass me by, in the rear view mirror, pictures frozen in time are becoming clearer. I don't wanna waste another day..
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes

Cause I want you, and I feel you, crawling underneath my skin.. Like a hunger, like a burning, to find a place I've never been. Now I'm broken, and I'm faded, I'm half the girl that I thought I would be, but you can have what's left of me..

I've been dying inside, little by little, no where to go, but going out of my mind. In endless circles, running from my self until, you gave me a reason for standing still

You're already My Number One

I don't mind if you hate Monday,
We can make this like a Saturday
And all the fuss and whine will over
As we drive in to the madness

With breakfast on the go
We'll dine on city lights
Didn't I tell you to just sit back
Cause my boy, they all don't matter any longer

Cause you don't even have to try
You're already my number one
I don't need the mellow tunes
And all the lines you've wasted over me

I don't mind if time goes too soon
We'll stay up all night an make it slower
And when the morning comes between us
We'll just get ready to start it over

Realita dan Perasaan

Semakin hari yang aku jalani semakin semu dan abu-abu..
Entah ini nyata, atau beda dari realita, apa perasaan ini pasti dan memang terjadi
Kurasa Tuhan Maha Tahu apa yang terbaik untukku, apapun itu..
Dan kemudian Dia mengirimkan satu nama, hanya satu nama, yang wujudnya pun tak kunjung nyata..


Mengapa kami dipertemukan..
Mengapa kami saling kenal..
Mengapa rasa itu ada..
Apa ini hanya 'virtual feeling' atau benar-benar 'real feeling'


Pertanyaan ini yang selalu membelenggu.
namun tak ada yang bisa kulakukan, tak tahu apa yang harus kuperjuangkan.
benarkah dia ada, Tuhan?
benarkah yang sering kami bicarakan itu benar adanya, Tuhan?
benarkah perasaan ini, Tuhan?


Aku mengejar waktu,
Mengejar segala hal yang pasti, tanpa melihat ke belakang
Rasa ini masih abu-abu, selama kamu, aku, kita belum bertemu.

All about move on

I'm twisted cause one side of me tellin' me that I need to move on, on the other side I wanna break down and cry. God blessed me with the patience to stay and the strength to move on.


Meet someone - get attached - get hurt - move on - meet someone - get attached -get hurt - move on.... 
What a cycle, rite...?! But things change and you can't sit around and mope about it. Its best to just move on and to forget.


But why everyone keep asking me the same question? Who's your boyfriend now? So, is it really important that we have another boyfriend/girlfriend make a prove that we've already move on? So I thought moving on is a sweet process of proving to others especially to yourself that you're off better without that person.

Bonjour vous, j'ai attendu pour vos appels, espérons que tout va bien se passer. Vous savez quoi, je pense avoir le béguin pour toi.. :)

Last Message from Our best friend Alicia Conways

Everyone that you know and that you think you have in your life today, will be gone one day. Maybe not tomorrow and maybe not next year. It might happen without you noticing.

But all those people, that you think will be there or that you think you can always come back to, they'll be gone. I don't think enough people realize this. People try to predict the future to some extent, try to shape it and mold it, trying to control some aspect to better fit the way their lives are at the moment — as if they even have the ability — and they put people off. They say no, or not now, or that the time isn't right. They deny themselves and they pass up opportunities, thinking the person will still be there later on.

Well, maybe you'll get lucky and they will be. But chances are they won't. All you have and all you have control over is right now and the only people you have in your life are the ones you have right now. So you can plan all you want. But once you realize that everyone you know will one day be gone, you'll do things differently. That, or you'll wake up one day wishing you had, but it'll be too damn late

Will we last as lovers? Or better off as friends?
But see… that’s the beauty of it all.
The not knowing part. Just free falling.
Where it all lands? We’ll never know.
Just believe that somehow that’s where you are supposed to be.
Yang terbaik toh belum tentu yang terindah..

Life is Messy

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we’ve chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines… that are way too dangerous to cross. Here’s what I know. If you’re willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side is spectacular.

23 hari,  3 jam, 20 menit yang lalu..

Hari itu, ya hari itu entah mengapa sangat pilu.
Ketika hati mulai resah,
Ketika merindukan seseorang yang jauh disana, sangat amat.
Ketika sayang mulai tumbuh menjadi cinta.
Ketika keyakinan berubah menjadi harapan.
ketika harapan menjadi tujuan.
Ketika otak, pikiran, hati dan ego melebur jadi satu.
Ketika logika tak sejalan.
Ketika rasa yang ada di kamu telah hilang, entah karena hampa atau waktu yang berjalan.

Rasa sayang ini terlalu sayang untuk dibuang,
Mimpi indah ini terlalu indah untuk dimusnahkan.
Ego, emosi, dan benci adalah musuh terbesar kami.
Tapi kamu tetap ingin berhenti, entah sejenak, entah selamanya.

Masih teringatkah luka yang kau torehkan saat indahnya Juni itu?
Masih teringatkah rasa sakit yang kau beri?
Masih teringatkah pedih yang kau tuai?
Dan kini, aku kembali merasakannya. Entah hanya sesaat, atau selamanya.

Air mataku sudah kering, sayang..
Air mataku sudah habis karena mu.
Air mataku sudah tak bisa merasakan rasa pahit atau getirnya hidup.

Sayang,
bila suatu saat kau membaca tulisan ini, semoga saat itu isi hatimu sudah tergantikan yang lain..
semoga saat itu hatiku benar-benar kuat melepasmu..
semoga saat itu perasaanku telah lebur ditelan waktu..
semoga saat itu semua rasa telah lenyap..
dan semoga saat itu Tuhan betul-betul memberikan jawaban segala pertanyaanku, kamu, dan kita..

Doa ku selalu ada dalam setiap hembusan nafasku..
Nama mu selalu terselip di dalam tutur doaku..
Jangan pernah kau sakiti lagi perasaan yang seperti ini,
Terlalu luka untuk dirasakan..
Terlalu pedih untuk diingat..


Untuk  seseorang yang 8 tahun ku kenal,
selama 3 tahun mengisi pikiranku,
selama 2 tahun menemani di dalam ruang hati,
selama 14 bulan memberikan cinta yang luar biasa indahnya

Forgive and Forget

Forgive and forget. That's what they say. It's good advice, but it's not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled...old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we'll be lucky enough to forget.

Sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.


So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. Eventually feels a lot better than actually. 


#random thought

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about.

Some things we just don't want to hear. 
Some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. 
Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. 
Some things you say cause there's no other choice. 
Some things you keep to yourself.
And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves. 

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them.

a letter to women (from women pretend as a guy) #1

Dear women,

When we go out to dinner, it’s perfectly fine to order the same thing as we do. You, too, can get the chicken if that’s what you want. We don’t mind. We’d rather eat our entire meal than trade plates halfway through and eat the rest of something neither of us really wanted.
A side salad as your main course isn’t a meal and instead of making us think you’re skinny or have a small appetite, it makes us think you’re a liar. Which you are, if you pretend that a side salad is what you really wanted to eat for dinner.
Letting us eat the last stick, popper, wing, finger, fry or ring is, to us, a silent gesture of caring and kindness that will not be easily forgotten.
And let us pay. We like to pay. It makes us feel like our fathers: responsible, chivalrous, successful. Don’t argue with us over splitting the check, even if you’re doing it so as to not confirm the meal as a date. No guy, upon being turned down for a second date, has ever thought, “But things were going so well! She let me pay!”
After a while, though, you can pay. We like a free meal as much as anyone.

positive thinking? come'on duuude!!!

we get positive vibe not from positive thinking, but from being completely honest..Stop misunderstanding me coz I am not a positive person, and I hate positive thinking. I never encourage others to be positive, never. I encourage all of us to be natural and honest.negativity should always be allowed, if used properly, negativity is tool to bring clear understanding. Mencari hikmah kesulitan seringkali adalah upaya melarikan diri dari kesempatan mengamati langsung ke dalam. Don't solve problem with mind. just let the feel flow, jika marah..marahlah.. breathe and allow the anger to be felt inside.....

about Long-Distance Relationship

Been there… done that! And now still working out,, To be honest, I think I’ve been in this kind of relationship for three times… (well, I’m pretty not sure hahahhaa). I can definitely recall my happy moments and of course some difficult times because of the distance we had. In fact the last one I had was based purely on long distance with numerous times of the actual get together. I think he even mentioned that we had a ’bbm relationship’, or something like ‘i think we spent more time dating our gadgets than being with each other’ hahahaha. Anyways, having a long distance relationship is always tough, I failed all two,hopefully the last won't be same. The question now, is it possible with a future successful ending? Do you think long-distance relationship doable?

Well, let us explore what long term relationship is all about. Wikipedia explains long-distance relationship as, “a typically intimate relationship that takes place when the couple is separated by a considerable distance.” So it is a relationship that is intimate and the couple is separated by some amount of distance. Many interpretations could come from this explanation. One could ask whether the distance comes after the relationship was established or the other way around. Online dating has open the opportunity of knowing people without necessarily meeting them in person.

Many would interpret differently on the term ‘considerable distance’. Distance has become a vague term these days. You can measure distance by miles distance, travel time distance, or free time to meet distance. Some might have miles distance but they meet often because of the transportation technology. Miles distance has been reduced to mere travel time distance. If you are only two hours away (by plane), and you can afford it, the relationship will not be a problem. If you live in the same city, but traffic has stopped you from seeing each other often (let say you have to travel 3 hours from Bekasi to Bintaro in Jakarta), you can call that a long distance relationship as well. Now, your career can also stops you from seeing each other often. If you are only able to see your partner once a week during weekend, it would be the same with people whom I know live in another city but come to see their partner once a week on weekend. Shortly, you might have a long distance relationship without even realizing that you have one.

Technology has made long distance relationship more doable. According to Wikipedia, means of communication for this type of relationship are: cell phones or blackberries, emails, online chatting, video conference, skype, instant messaging, letters, sms, shared online activities, such as playing online games together, and shared offline activities such as watching the same movie while talking on the phone or chatting (Note: I think I didn't tried all that hahahaha). In my experience, you can even do greater things with technology. For instance, when you want to send flowers or gifts to your loved ones, you are able to do it by credit card, and your gifts shall be delivered in time. Isn’t it great? Now, imagine what people did in the old days when they only have letters by seamail.

Now, there are some advantages from long-distance relationship (LDR). LDR actually helps us to understand our relationship better from the conversations we made with our partners. Without phsycal intimacy, conversations take over the whole relation. This eventually will bring the relation into a deeper level of understanding of your thoughts and ideas.
This will clear up the whole basis of yor relationship, whether you are more attracted to each other based on physical needs or emotional needs. You are free to think about the relationship without any strings attached.

However, I can mention a plentiful downsides of LDR. You don’t know what your partner is doing unless they tell you. You can’t come and see him/her when you need them in the middle of the night. You can’t hug them when she/he is in times of trouble.You can’t accompany them when he/she really need a doctor and say :"everything's gonna be okay". You can’t meet them physically. Sometimes technology puts you down. Numerous negative things can emerge from LDR.

I have friends who are having LDR at the moment. Some of them are married, such as Harland (his name is mentioned with permission hahaha) who is expecting his first baby within 3 months time. I imagine that having such distance must be very hard for him and Rosa, his wife. Again, this kind of relationship can only happen based on strong commitments. I have some friends that have their girl/boyfriend back home in Indonesia. This is also tough for them. The hardest part is when they needed their partner the most and they can’t see each other. That is very frustrating.

Now I will come to my point about LDR. I think LDR opens up a lot of new perspectives of your relationship. It is actually good to be away from your partner for some amount of time. But if you are away for a long period of time without any realistic chance of seeing each other in the future, then I think you better stop it. It is not healthy for you or for your partner. I’m just being realistic tough I have my own hopelessly romantic side. I think I had learn my lessons, because as for now, 2 zones Padang - Jakarta distance is the most realistic option for me hahahahaha...

Random Thought, a Letter from the Past to the Future

Dear future-smart-kick-ass-great-smile-book-movie-and-music-freak-husband,

I wonder if I know you or have yet to meet you. Either way, I know I think about you all the time. You see, my life is already complete. I am a smart, well-rounded (literally) woman that has great life, great job and is responsible. I have my own hobbies, likes and interest. I would absolutely love to share them with you, providing that you find your way into my life.

I wish your name is something beautiful but I can't be so sure. I want to think you're very tall but, not that tall. Anyway, I am not writing to you to ask your name or even what it is you look like so I will know you the moment I see you. The real reason I am is so I can tell you that I am no longer waiting for you.

That doesn't mean I am giving up on you ever arriving or that I am going to date a million guys to compensate for your inability to adhere to my odd demand that you show up by the time I'm 27. Instead, it means that I am just not going to look for you quite as hard anymore and just trust that, if you do decide to come along, my life will be enhanced, not "complete".

Hopefully, one day, you will come. But, if for some reason you don't, I will be fine. I have the best of friends, a great extended family and a strong sense of self-worth. That will get me through just about anything life has to throw my way. That doesn't mean I don't wish you were around to share things with.

So, until we meet, don't worry about me at all. Just don't give up finding me. I promise I'm around. Keep your eyes open because, I am sure as with all things, we won't find each other until the time is absolutely right.

Your-future-adorable-smart-ass-love-to-cook-wife
