It's not that I wouldn't admit, it's just I wasn't realize about this
My days was so full
Full of things to do
problem to solve
people to meet
promise to keep
So that time when we made that decision, I didn't feel anything at all
Okay, I was crying just for one day or two, then I suddenly forget about you
It was the easiest break-up I've ever had, easiest goodbye I've ever said
But now those days are gone
The things are done
Problem's solved
Promise's kept
Mission fully accomplished
I have many time to think, to rethink. and re-rethink
And I start constantly thinking about you, about us, and God, I hate it.
Every time I'm alone, like this, like now. I force myself to get busy. I buy dozen of DVDs, I read books, I text, I tweet, I blog.
But the memory is still here, yes. You're still here, in my mind. But that's just it.

you, again
For every tear that has fallen
For every harsh word
For every lie you told
For every gloomy night
I wish you happiness you don't deserve.
For every harsh word
For every lie you told
For every gloomy night
I wish you happiness you don't deserve.
questioning : B
No one knows 'cause I lock it so deep inside.
No one knows me no one knows you. No one knows us, we barely know each other
I've tried to look deeper inside you. Followed you around.
Make a conclusion and try not to believe it, then make another prediction. Reverse.
Being you, being dark, being weird.
Being me, being bright, being ordinary.
Being us, being sleepless, being polite. That's all.
Questioning myself time and time again
Do you really know that much? Or are you clueless, just like me?
Are you trying so hard to be that person?
That person I hate and adore at the same time.
Let me erase you from my mind.
No, let me change the picture of you in my mind, to another shape, another color, another you.
From this moment on.

Butterfly In My Stomach
Music is magic, I agree. These songs always give me 'fluttery' feeling in my stomach everytime I listen to them :)
you
Just watched Social Network and I saw someone in Mark Zuckerberg. Well yeah, that someone. Dear you, "you're not an asshole, you're just trying so hard to be"
H-15
You know you're day is super-hectic when you have to deal with so many things at a same time.
Like when you turn to your left, someone ask you about 'the event', and when you busy discussing about 'the event' other person call you, and you turn your head to your right, and that person ask you about 'the publicity'. Then you discuss discuss and discuss, you think think and think. Your phone's ringing, you pick it up, and someone ask you about 'the media partnership'. You talk on the phone, you hang up. And your phone rings again, it's a message, another different person asking you about 'the money' and that person tells you "We need a lot more..". You look at your watch, and you remember you have an appointment with one of the 'guest star' of the event who not-so-accidentally, your juniors. You see them perform. Their behavior's killing you. And you realize you have an unfinished assignment you have to submit before 12 a.m, and again, you take a look at your watch, it's already 9 p.m.
And that, my friend, is what happening to me, to my life, to my days, lately. I swear by God, it is exhausting and confusing at the same time. One time you're in one place, and the next time you're in another. One time you talk with a person, and in a blink of an eye that person is gone, and here comes another person, bringing you another problems on the table.
I can barely remember dates and days, 'cause everything is so mixed up. Those conversations, those faces, those agreements, they're all MIXED UP IN MY HEAD!(thank God I have a note book). I'm exhausted, I run out of energy, but these few things keep me going
this desire inside to beat all the challenges ahead
this promise I made and this responsibility I took
those excited faces and hard work of my whole team
those 'Ayo Sarah, Semangat! We're doing this together' kind of sweet words
those ambitious plans
those images of what will happen on 27th Nov
And the most important is, I'm doing this with and for my second family, Kom08. That's all. That's enough to keep me going.

re a li ty
Life gives me a lot of priceless lessons lately. I don't need books, or world leaders to teach me those kind of lessons. It's not from school, it's from something we call REALITY.
I learn when to let go and when not to.
I learn to accept that not all people think the way I think, act the way I act, and the hardest is, feel the way I feel, even those whom I thought surely would.
I learn to share when I don't have enough for myself. I learn that, the word 'enough' is relative.
I learn to love people, try hard to make them love me back, and accept if they're not.I learn to work my ass off.
I learn to push myself in and pull myself out.
I learn to believe that people DO change.
I learn that personal confrontation and unimportant chit-chat with strangers are my worst weaknesses
I learn to be brave. I learn to forgive, I learn to apologize, I learn what the word 'sorry' really means.
But the most important is i learn that reality really is bitter most of the time, but it gets a little sweeter as we chew it :)

Farewell, B :)
Just made a pretty huge decision a month ago. I said goodbye to that someone who had been in my life, in my days, in my nights, for 12 months. I knew this day would come since the very first "Hello". But I have definitely no regret, not at all. I learned a lot from what we had, what we struggled.
The most valuable thing I learned is this :
Never, ever, push someone to be yourself, and never push yourself to be someone else.
If you want everything to go well, just walk together to the middle point, find the balance. That, my friend, need a lot of sacrifices. Do it, ONLY if think he/she's worth it.
In my case, I wasn't worth his sacrifice, and he wasn't worth mine. It hurts a little bit, knowing that he didn't think it's worth it to survive what he had with me. But after I took my time to think, I also didn't want to make any sacrifice for him, for us. We were equal.
For me he was boring, weird, too serious, and have I mentioned boring?
For him I was too witty, too spoiled, too 'nowadays youngsters', he said.
He loves something I hate the most : PHYSICS
I love something he hates the most : SOCIALIZING
I have never met someone like him before, literally. Someone so different (again, literally). He said the same thing too about me.
Difference could be nice, difference could be beautiful, only if we have interest to learn about our differences, getting to know each other, and yeah, find the middle point. Me and him, we didn't have any interest to know about each other's life.
It got me thinking, what were we doing for 12 months? Well, yeah, we laughed at each other's jokes. We tried to love each other's world (but we failed), we took care of each other (and I admit, it's always good to have someone to call before you go to sleep), we hung out, and yes, I loved him. I loved having him around. But that's life. Sometimes, you think he is the one, but he's not. Sometimes you think it's love, but it turned out to be, well, maybe just a habit, a comfort zone.
Never mind, I love to be falling in love, and definitely not afraid of falling out of it. "Every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back"
So, thanks to you, B, for teaching me these things. Thank you for the night calls, thank you for the movies and dinners, thank you for our songs,and most of all, thank you for teaching me how to be me, by being you :)
P.S I'm over you now
Hello, 5th Term
Semester Dewa, kata orang-orang, and yes, they're right. Ngomongin kuliah, demi apapun, gw ga pernah nyesel jadi anak iklan, tapi mbok ya kasih satu hari buat nafas tanpa tugas bisa ga sih? Kalo gw ga mau bikin tugas emangnya lo mau apa? HAH? HAHHH?? *emosi*
Saking bertubi-tubinya tugas, standar pengerjaan tugas gw pun menurun. Gaya belajar gw semester ini, teman-teman, adalah : TAAT! Yak, taat. Intinya, masuk kuliah, ngerjain tugas, ikut quiz, THAT'S IT. Ga ada BM2(Banyak Mau)an lagi. Ga ada presentasi yang kebanyakan gimmick daripada isi. NO MORE! Taat aja, cukup!
Dan ya, seperti apa yang sudah digariskan oleh takdir, angkatan 2010 dateng ke kehidupan gw dan 2008 lainnya, membuat semuanya semakin "Dewa". Seharusnya bisa ambil 24 SKS, tapi ya, cukuplah 21 aja, 3 SKS nya buat mereka, dan tentunya Dynomite. Ga perlu diceritain kayak gimana proses mengurus anak-anak ini, karena prosesnya pun masih panjang ke depan.Tapi satu hal, posisi ini lebih sulit dari yang pernah gw bayangin. Jadi 'orang tua' 10x (ga pake lebay) lebih susah daripada jadi 'anak'. Banyak banget tantangannya. Dibilang capek, ya capek banget. But like always, I'm doing it with my kom08, so no need to worry. Why? Simply because we are 2008 :) We'll make it and we'll make it GOOD, like we always did.
Sehectic-hecticnya semester ini, entah kenapa gw ga pengen semuanya cepet berakhir. Another 21 sks selesai, 2010 lulus SAR, sumpah ga mau cepet-cepet udahan. Capek sih, tapi ga mau udahan. Karena setelah semester ini udahan, apa lagi tugas 2008? Di bayangan gw, semester 6 ke atas itu membosankan, tua, dan tidak menyenangkan, dan gw ga mau cepet-cepet kesana, harus mikirin skripsi, kerja dan lain-lain HELL NO!
One step closer to real life
One step closer to "goodbye 2008mates"
One step closer to HELL
Let me be this young forever, please, God :'(

Not Good Enough
Gue orang yang sangat jarang merasa rendah diri. Really. Ya, seperti kebanyakan orang, kadang gue merasa takut, nervous, malu, ga PD, tapi itu jarang sekali terjadi. Gw selalu percaya apa pun yang gw mau pasti gw dapetin, dan apa pun yang gw lakuin, gw pasti bisa melakukannya dengan baik, sesuai keinginan gw.
Tapi semakin ke sini, entah kenapa, gw makin sering merasa rendah diri. Gw tetep merasa gw bisa melakukan segala hal yang gw pengen, tapi ga sebagus orang-orang di sekitar gw. Gw bisa nyanyi, gw bisa desain, gw bisa ngomong di depan orang banyak, gw bisa nulis, gw bisa ini dan itu, tapi temen-temen gw, mereka lebih bisa dari gw. I'm good. But not good enough.
Gw menyesali banget perasaan ini dateng sekarang-sekarang ini, ketika gw udah mulai mau ng-apply magang sana sini buat ngisi liburan tiga bulan nanti. Setiap mau ngirim CV, yang dateng ke pikiran gw, "Kayak nya gw ga cocok deh.. Kalo si A atau si B, pasti cocok." Dan gw batal ngirimin CV.
Makin kesini, gw makin bisa ngeliat kelebihan temen-temen gw. Si A bakal jadi apa, si B bakal jadi apa, tapi semakin gw bisa ngeliat kelebihan mereka, semakin buram gw ngeliat kelebihan gw sendiri. Sekarang kalau ditanya gw pengen jadi apa nantinya..
.. gw bingung
.. ga tau mau jadi apa
Kayaknya selama ini gw melihat diri gw terlalu tinggi. Kayak nya gw expect too much dari diri gw. Kayak nya gw ga semampu itu juga deh.
:(
I Miss You, Father
Sorry I didn't go to church this week,
and last week too..
I will come to your home, next week, Father, I swear
I miss you :'(
and last week too..
I will come to your home, next week, Father, I swear
I miss you :'(

Table Lamp
I created this poem two years ago. Sad, broken hearted, unstable, disappointed. Haha at least I can laugh over it after all of those pain ;)
This is the point
where i don't have any words to say anymore
no feelings to describe
and no anger to spill
i run out of blood
run out of tears
run out of the will to move on
i fall so deep
i've tried to stand up
but i fell again
and again
and again
reverse.
the light i saw
was not the sun
it was just a table lamp
the owner can easily
turn it on
made me believe that it was a light of hope
and turn it off
emptiness came forward
it's only a click away.
iPray
God,
give me the strength and teach me how
to forgive
to forget
to give
to accept
to be strong when i get hurt
and not to avenge
to love
rather than to hate
to be thank full that it happened
rather than feeling regret
And the last one, God..
give me the strength and teach me how
to LET GO
...sincerely
give me the strength and teach me how
to forgive
to forget
to give
to accept
to be strong when i get hurt
and not to avenge
to love
rather than to hate
to be thank full that it happened
rather than feeling regret
And the last one, God..
give me the strength and teach me how
to LET GO
...sincerely
:')
The moment you stop crying is not the moment your problem is over. The moment you stop crying is the moment you decide to wipe away your tears, and start to smile.

3rd song
The Beatles - I Will
Who knows how long
I've loved you You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will.
Who knows how long
I've loved you You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will.
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know, I will
I will.

pasif
Buat UTS Copywriting kemaren iklan '08 diinstruksikan untuk bikin print ad, ambience, atau advertisement apa pun yang bisa membuat orang tidak merokok di depan umum, khususnya dalam tugas ini tempat umumnya adalah stasiun UI.
Buat gw, tugas kali ini susah banget karena kampanye anti-rokok udah banyak.. Mulai dari yang basi sampe yang super keren. Setelah brain storming beberapa hari, akhirnya gw dapet pencerahan. Ini bukan kampanye anti-rokok, tapi kampanye anti merokok di depan umum. Dan menurut gw yang paling perlu ditanamkan di perasaan para perokok adalah perasaan bersalah karena kalo sekedar pengetahuan kalau merokok di depan umum itu membahayakan orang lain sebagai perokok pasif sih semua orang juga udah tau.
Jadi akhirnya ini yang gw buat.
#1 Pasif
Ini ceritanya ada orang yang lagi merokok terus digambarin orang-orang yang duduk di deket dia juga seolah-olah sedang merokok (secara pasif).
#2 Abaikan
#3 Tidak Peduli
#4 ACUHKAN
Hehe masih amatir ya.. Tapi gw seneng bikinnya :)

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill
Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
So call in the submarine
'Round the world will go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream
If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me
Up on melancholy hill
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
Well yeah, we finally have our 2nd song, and I hate the fact that we've started making memories. I hate making memories. Especially when I know there will be days when you're no longer around, and I will cry listening to this song.

Have you ever thought, “When will this problem end?”
I was just thinking. And maybe, just maybe, this is the answer.
“The problem will end, if for you, it’s no longer a problem”
Hmm
Opened Book
I am an opened book with secret pages inside.
You think you know everything, but trust me, you don't
I am an opened book, written with strange codes
You can see what's inside, but you can't understand a word of it
I am an opened book, with a very long and complicated story
Reading a few words from it, will only confuse you. Then you'll stop reading it immediately.
I am an opened book, with random pages.
It's so difficult for you to follow the story.
I am an opened book.
you don't have to ask, I will tell you my story.
but if you feel like it's boring, or confusing,
just throw it away.

Sinetron
Sinetron oh sinetron. Gw ga pernah terlalu suka sama sinetron kecuali sinetron-sinetron yang ceritanya diambil dari novel Mira W yang dulu ditayangin di SCTV. Itu bagus banget loh! Biasanya yang mainin ga jauh-jauh dari Aji Masaid, Lulu Tobing, atau Primus. Di luar itu, menurut gw, hmm apa yah kata yang sopan buat menggambarkannya, kurang penting mungkin?
Sayangnya, isi televisi Indonesia kalo udah jam lima ke atas ya ga jauh-jauh dari sinetron. Jadi karena gw anak kosan yang ga pasang TV berlangganan, ya kadang-kadang terpaksa harus nonton sinetron juga. Tapi kata Mbak Nina Armando, "Jangan cuma jadi penikmat, mulailah menjadi pengamat". Makannya sekarang gw laporkan hasil pengamatan gw.
Dari dulu jamannya Tersanjung yang ga abis-abis sampe 13 turunan, Tersayang yang ada topi mawarnya, sampe sekarang eranya Safa & Marwah, Cinta Fitri dan lain-lain, cerita sinetron muter-muter di situ-situ aja, sampe-sampe gw apal dan bisa nebak, abis adegan ini, adegan itu, abis ditampar, dijambak, abis adegan seru pasti bersambung, kamera pindah, makin lama makin cepet ke wajah orang-orang yang lagi kaget, terus tiba-tiba ada tulisan BERSAMBUNG, lebih seru kalo tulisannya ada darah-darahnya.
Ini nih ya yang sepengamatan gw, selalu ada di sinetron :
- Anak ketuker. Biasanya ketukernya di ruang bayi di rumah sakit. Dituker sama si pemeran antagonis di sinetron.
- Anak yang ketuker tadi taunya baru ketika mereka udah dewasa. Biasanya salah satu dari mereka kaya, satunya lagi miskin.
- Mertua galak. Yang ini hampir ga pernah ga ada. Pasti si cewek pemeran utama dibenci sama mertuanya.. biasanya sih karena miskin.
- Si mertua biasanya punya MIL, alias Menantu Idaman Lain, yang adalah peran antagonis dalam sinetron. Si cewek ini biasanya berusaha dijodoh2in sama cowok pemeran utama.
- Jebakan wanita jalang. Biasanya si cewek pemeran antagonis pake trik-trik nakal buat dapetin si cowo pemeran utama, salah satunya dengan cara : Bikin si cowok mabok, bawa ke kamar tidur, lucutin bajunya, tidur di sebelah cowok itu dengan sok-sok telajang (biasanya di bawah selimut gitu, keliatan pundaknya doang), terus foto-foto deh. Buat sinetron jaman dulu sih pemecahannya gampang, tinggal bakal roll film nya. Kalo sekarang, udah era digicam gimana caranya ya?
- Nanti foto-fotonya disebar luasin. Atau enggak, dijadiin bahan buat ngancem si cowok pemeran utama. Kalo ga mau jadian sama cewe antagonis, nanti foto nya di sebar luasin. Biasanya si cewe bakal ngirim foto itu ke si cowok pake amplop coklat (kalo skarang sih tinggal tag di Facebook). Terus pas ngebuka dan ngeliat foto2 itu si cowo pasti terperangah, bolak-balik fotonya berkali, terus menatap nanar entah kemana dengan tampang berpikir keras, lebih seru lagi kalo pake nonjok tembok.
- Ada cowo antagonis yang berusaha ngerebut cewe pemeran utama. Ada juga cewe antagonis yang berusaha ngerebut cowo pemeran utama. Cewe-cowo antagonis itu usahanya gila-gilaan, mulai dari ngerayu, mohon-mohon, pura-pura hamil, nyulik, pura-pura mau bunuh diri, nyuap, pake orang bayaran, sampe ngancem. Di tengah sinetron biasanya cowo antagonis kerja sama dengan cewe antagonis buat ngancurin cowo sama cewe pemeran utama.
- Orang suruhan. Biasanya disuruh ngerjain, nyulik, atau bahkan ngebunuh orang. Mereka hampir selalu pake jaket kulit item dan berkomunikasi sama yang nyuruh melalui telepon. "Lapor, Bos!" pasti ngomongnya gitu.
- Orang yang dikira udah mati ternyata ga mati. Biasanya selama semua orang kira dia mati, dia ternyata terdampar di pedesaan dan hilang ingatan.
- "Aku anak siapa?" Pasti ada aja anak yang ga tau dia anak siapa. Akhirnya test DNA, tapi sialnya hasil test nya dituker sama pemeran antagonis -_-"
Yak, itu baru sepuluh. Sebenernya sih banyak lagi yang selalu ada di sinetron. Bukannya sombong apa gimana, tapi gw yakin gw bisa bikin cerita sinetron. Siapa coba yang ga bisa? Wong tinggal copy-paste sana sini. Ya ga sih? Apa engga? Apa iya? Menurut gw sih iya.
Jadi pengen deh bikin sinetron. Yang bagus, yang simple, yang meaning. Ga usah mendidik deh. Mungkin terlalu jauh kalo itu targetnya. Ga perlu mendidik tapi at least ga membodohi. Sederhana aja kan?

Yay, this is Sparkle.. Cute banget kann? She's my dog, but actully I'd like to call her as my 'other' sister :p
Cerita pertemuan gw sama Sparkle, menurut gw, bisa dijadiin film kompetitornya Hachiko!(oke, gw berlebihan).
Jadi, dari kecil gw udah terbiasa melihara anjing. Riwayat pengalaman gw memelihara anjing (seingat gw) dimulai dari umur 3 tahun, yaitu : Ciko&Ciki (ga tau jenis apa, udah lupa juga). Trus waktu SD, keluarga gw beli anjing Poodle betina, namanya Sunday. Kenapa Sunday? karena dia diadopsi sama keluarga gw hari Minggu.
Terus yang ketiga itu adalah anjing pertama gw. Maksudnya, statusnya bukan anjing keluarga, tapi anjing gw, walau pun akhir2nya yang direpotin satu keluarga juga. Jadi gw inget banget, waktu itu beberapa hari sebelum Paskah, gw cerita sama Mama, "Ma, masa aku baca di majalah, Nick Carter pernah dihadiahin anak anjing sama mamanya". Gw ga ada masksud apa2 ngomong kayak gitu. Pure cuma mau cerita.
Eh di hari Paskah, gw masih inget jelas, Mama Papa pulang dari Gereja, dan Mama gendong mahluk lucu, kecil, warna krem, imut, yang saat itu gw kira adalah boneka anjing karena dia dieeemm banget. Nggak taunya, setelah gw deketin, si mahluk yang gw kira boneka itu bergerak. WAW! Ternyata anak anjing beneran! Seneng banget!!! Gw langsung mikirin nama buat anjing itu. Tapi entah gimana caranya, akhirnya yang kasih nama anjing lucu itu malah kakak sama papa gw. Namanya Juve, karena kakak dan papa gw lagi tergila-gila sama Juventus -_-". Karena satu dan lain hal, akhirnya Juve dihibahkan ke sodara gw (satu dan lain hal nya adalah : dia udah akil balik jadi pipis dimana-mana dan itu ngeselin -_-")
Naah, waktu kelas 2 SMA, gw pengeeen banget punya anjing lagi. Tapi takut minta sama mama karena dia pasti udah pesimis sama kemampuan gw merawat anjing karena ujung2nya Mama juga yang repot. Akhirnya gw nabung selama setahun, dan terkumpul lah uang sejumlah 1 juta rupiah di bulan November. Dengan semangat gw bilang mama, gw mau beli anjing pake duit sendiri, dan kita pergi ke rumah seorang breeder di Kelapa Gading.
Here comes the SERU part. Di rumah si breeder itu ada dua bersaudara anjing shih tzu betina umur 2 bulan. Sebut aja si A dan si B. Setelah ngeliat2 dan ngelus, gw lebih tertarik sama si A, karena bulunya yang coklat dan perangainya yang kalem (wtf, perangai??!!). Tapi kata Mama, si B lebih lucu, lebih chubby, akhirnya gw labil, dan memutuskan untuk membawa pulang si B, yang kemudian gw namai Twinkle.
Baru satu bulan tinggal di rumah gw, Twinkle meninggal karena kena virus distemper. Gw nangis sejadi-jadinya. Sedih banget. Kerjanya bengong, mikirin Twinkle. Keluarga gw ga tega ngeliat gw. Akhirnya gw dibeliin lagi, anjing yang sama. Dan guess what? Dia si A, sodaranya Twinkle yang hampir gw bawa pulang sebelumnya. And now, we call the lucky girl, Sparkle. Lovely Sparkle :)
Tonight's Playlist : Kings of Convenience
Gonna see these two cute guys, Erlend and Eirik, sing in front of me tonight at Ritz! Aaaaa deg-degan!!
Dulu, waktu mereka kesini tahun 2006, gw pengen nonton, tapi karena ga niat-niat banget, ketinggalan deh beli tiketnya. Dulu juga sempet beli KASETnya yang album Riot of an Empty Street (iya, bok, masih jamannya kaset dulu)
Terus waktu tau dari temen kalo mereka mau dateng lagi tahun ini, ga banyak mikir gw langsung beli. Gw beli tiketnya sekita dua bulan lalu gitu, dan THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE DAY! Walau pun ga sesuka sama Mika (ga bakal ada yang ngalahin Mika buat gw), tapi gw tetep excited! Wish me luck for today ya! Semoga bisa turut menyanyikan lagu2 mereka dengan hikmat -__-".

I M M A D
Pernah ga lo marah banget sampe kelepasan ngomong kata-kata yang ga seharusnya lo omongin? Gw pernah. Sering malah. Saking marahnya, semua kata-kata kasar yang udah di ujung tenggorokan, di saat yang kritis, keluar gitu aja. Bener-bener ga sengaja. Kelepasan.
Tapi diliat-liat sekarang zamannya udah berubah ya. People nowadays, when the get mad, they Tweet. Yes, they Tweet. "An**ng! ta*, ba*i!" semuanya keluar. Ga berapa lama, dia ngeTweet lagi "Maaf ya barusan ngomong kasar, abisnya gw emosi."
Gw jadi mikir, apa udah berubah ya sistem kerja otak manusia zaman sekarang? Dulu, kalau marah, normalnya, setelah mikir yang nyebelin-nyebelin, ujung-ujungnya, pikiran-pikiran yang ada di otak keluar melalui mulut. Sekarang kalau kesal, di otak udah bekecamuk semua amarah, yang dilakuin adalah, ambil handphone/lari ke depan laptop, buka Twitter, ketik semua kata-kata kasar yang ada di otak, terus klik "Tweet".
Panjang juga ya prosesnya.
Hmm..

My Friend and His Cigarette
Seorang teman yang gw sayang tapi benci dulu pernah nulis status Facebook kayak gini :
"ad yg salah dgn merokok? tdk. toh, smw org akan mati pd akhirny. apakah seseorg yg tdk merokok dijamin akan hdp lbh lama drpd seorg perokok?silakan anda merokok. anda bebas melakukannya, tp ingat tdk ad kebbasan yg mutlak. krn, org lain yg tdk merokok pun berhak utk udara bersih yg walaupun srg jg secara tdk sengaja menghirup udara kotor dr kendaraan."
Sorry for being harsh, dear friend, but for me your statement is silly. For me, loh yaaaaa..
Tadinya mau gw diemin aja. Gw pikir, ga ada gunanya ngomong sama orang yang pemikirannya begini. Tapi, otak sama tangan gw gatel, akhirnya gw komenin panjang lebar juga kayak gini :
"trs.. kalo gitu, ga ada yang salah juga dengan narkotika dan obat2an terlarang lainnya? toh, org yang ga make narkoba ga bisa dijamin akan hidup lbh lama drpd seorang pemakai narkoba..dan BETUL, toh semua orang AKAN MATI pada akhirnya
Waktu itu gw penasaran banget dengan tanggapan temen gw ini. Keesokan harinya dia bales komen gw dengan bilang kalo dia sangat suka komen gw.
Besoknya, ketemu gw, dia bilang, "Gila, Sar! Gw suka banget komen lo! Lo tuh sebenernya smart tau" dan gw jawab, "I know" Dan dia ketawa.
Did he quit smoking? No.
In this case, I am smart enough, I know.
Love you, teachers! :)
Gw kagum deh sama guru-guru dan dosen-dosen gw. Sama mereka yang udah lama ngajar terutama. Lo pernah ngebayangin ga sih, selama bertahun-bertahun mereka ngajar, udah berapa kelas yang mereka ajar, berapa banyak materi yang mereka sampein, dan yang paling bikin gw bertanya-tanya, berapa kali mereka ngulang materi yang sama ke murid2/mahasiswa2 yang berbeda.
Selama sekian tahun mereka ngajar, ituuu aja yang diomongin ke murid-muridnya. Materi yang sama, penjelasan yang sama, contoh yang (kurang lebih) sama, dan mungkin bahkan jokes yang sama! Saking seringnya mereka ngeluarin suatu jokes, kadang-kadang ada aja guru yang selalu ngulang jokes yang sama ke murid-murid yang sama juga, hhihi :D . Tapi, ga peduli berapa kali mereka ngulang kalimat yang sama selama bertahun-tahun, mereka selalu keliatan berapi-api dan semangat kalau lagi ngajar. Padahal mungkin mereka udah bosen dan hafal semua yang mereka omongin di luar kepala.
Hebat ya! Gw, baru lima belas menit masuk kelas aja udah bosen.
This is not teacher's day, but let's give a little more appreciation to our teachers/lecturers from now on :)

release
Dua minggu lalu, dosen copywriting gw ngasih tugas untuk bikin print ad tentang diri sendiri. Semacam application letter, tapi bentuk nya print ad dengan tema Fresh Graduate = Fresh Idea. From the time the assignment's given, my mind can't stop thinking about it. Gw mencoba menganalogikan kata segar dengan berbagai hal, dan yang muncul di otak gw adalah ikan, sayur, buah dan lain-lain yang segar. Lalu gw coba lagi bikin analogi tentang ide yang cemerlang. Yang muncul di otak gw adalah bohlam lampu. So cliche. Ga kreatif.
Satu minggu lewat, dan dead line pun di depan mata. Gw belum punya ide yang cukup memuaskan diri gw sendiri. Semua temen udah mulai submit tugas, sedangkan gw, ide aja belom ada. I stayed awake 'till 4 a.m that day. Untungnya, jam 23.00 gw dapet ide. Somehow tiba-tiba kalimat "Not an idea seeker, definitely an idea maker" came up to my mind. Selagi masih fresh, langsung gw olah ide itu dan masuk tahap ekesekusi. Di bayangan gw, harus ada gambar semacam vending machine, yang ceritanya menggambarkan gw yang seperti mesin pembuat ide (gw mau muntah, narsis pol!)
Setelah eksekusi, ide pertama gw itu kok jadinya jelek banget ya? Design nya a la anak-anak distro tahun 2000 gitu. Yuckkyy.. Gw sempet pasrah ngumpulin tugas yang itu sampe akhirnya dapet ide baru yang, well, cukup memuaskan bagi gw.
Big idea dari print ad ide ke2 gw ini adalah RELEASE. Coba diliat dulu yaa.. Here they are :)
Ide pertamanya adalah muncul ketika gw coba buat mendalami perasaan seseorang yang lagi mumet dan ga ada ide, which I didn't have to work hard to understand karena gw memang bener-bener lagi mumet dan ga ada ide. Setelah itu gw mencoba menempatkan diri gw sebagai suatu 'pelepasan' bagi keadaan mumet itu.
Pernah ngerasa mumet dan kehabisan ide kan? Itu rasanya ga enak banget, seolah-olah ga ada ujungnya dan ga bakal berenti sebelum lo dapetin ide itu. Dan ya, menurut gw ketika lo akhirnya nemuin ide itu, rasanya kayak orang lagi ngantuk dikasih secangkir kopi, pecandu rokok lagi stress dikasih sebatang rokok, dan orang yang udah nahan pipis selama dua jam ngeliat toilet.
Melegakan. Releasing.
Music Therapy
Recently listening to these three female singers' songs. Zee Avi, Anya Marina, and Meiko.
Their songs are light and fun. Exactly my favorite type of music.
For those who like The Bird & The Bee, Lenka, or Lilly Allen, you gotta love these three new comers.
These are my favorite songs and videos of them, hope you like it as much a I do :)

Card Castle
Gw benci kalo rencana yang udah gw buat, dengan semena-mena diacak-acak sama orang lain gitu aja dengan alasan yang sangat sepele. Well, semua orang pasti ga ada yang suka rencana nya gagal. But I extremely hate this kind of situation. Rasanya kayak lagi bikin kastil dari kartu. Udah tinggi banget, udah stabil banget, tiba-tiba ada yang dateng dan niup kastil kartu gw. And yes, they fall down, just like that. And the person who ruin my castle just say a simple sorry then go.
Kalau kayak gini rasanya pengen marah-marah di depan muka orang itu. Pengen ngamuk-ngamuk, nyalahin dia, mojokin dia, bikin nangis kalo perlu! Tapi apa lagi yang gw tuntut? She/he has apologized, what else do I want from her/him?
Jawaban buat kemarahan macam ini sebenernya simpel. Sesimpel diam dan berfikir, mengingat dan menyadari kalau semua orang punya kekurangan. Orang yang niup kastil kartu gw punya kekurangan. Gw punya kekurangan. Everybody makes mistakes.
Dari pada mikir "Kenapa ini semua terjadi?", "Kenapa lo jahat banget ngancurin rencana gw?" dan kenapa-kenapa yang lain nya, mungkin lebih baik kalau gw mikir, "Well, dia pasti ga sengaja" Dan masalah selesai. Throw away the madness, and start to stack the cards all over again.
Okay, I'm trying to put that in mind by now.

Mari Menulis Lagi!
Kata Papa, salah satu ilmu yang paling berharga adalah ilmu menulis. Dipikir-pikir bener juga. Dari SD sampai SMP, supaya bisa lulus dan lanjut ke jenjang selanjutnya, ada yang namanya ujian tertulis. Waktu SMA,sebagai syarat kelulusan, selain ujian tertulis, masih juga harus ngerjain Karya Tulis. Begitu masuk kuliah, secara rutin ada tugas bikin Paper, Makalah, Presentasi, semuanya tertulis. Dan ya, ujian pun jelas tertulis. Sekarang gw semester 4. Artinya, beberapa semster lagi harus udah mulai nyusun skripsi. Ya ya ya, menulis skripsi.
See? Kesimpulannya, dari kecil sampai udah sebesar ini, semua yang gw pelajari, semua yang gw baca, lihat, dan dengar, ujung-ujungnya akan diuji secara tertulis. Kompetensi gw sebagai akademisi dilihat dari tulisan gw. Nggak heran pelajaran menulis jadi pelajaran hidup ketiga manusia pada umumnya setelah pelajaran bicara dan membaca.
Omongan Papa dan pemikiran barusan meng-inspire gw buat menulis lagi. Semoga bisa terus-terusan rajin nulis blog (FYI, ini blog kesekian belas gw :D).
Mari menulis (lagi)!

ga ada yang salah juga dengan org yang ngelakuin percobaan bunuh diri? nyilet2 tangan misalnya.. toh ga ada yang bisa jamin juga dia bakal lebih cepet mati drpd gw, yang ga pernah nyoba bunuh diri.. bisa aja pas dia lagi nyilet2 tangan, silet nya ternyata tumpul dan dia ga mati.. sedangkan gw yang lagi tdr dengan damai di kamar, bisa aja tiba2 ga bisa nafas dam mati.. dan, ya, semua orang bakal mati pada akhirnya...
what I'm saying is.. ini bukan masalah siapa yang duluan atau belakangan mati.. it's about how you live your precious life God has given to you.. ...
kalo semua orang berfikir seperti yang lo blg,. "TOH SEMUA ORANG AKAN MATI PADA AKHIRNYA" why are we still here, living our lifes now? sooner or later we're all gonna die, right?
Kenapa kita berhati-hati kalo mau nyebrang jalan? Kenapa kita hati-hati sama api dan benda tajam? Kenapa kita liat kiri kanan kalo mau nyebrang rel kereta di kober? Kenapa kita makan? Kenapa kita minum? Kenapa kita tidur? Kenapa?
TOH KITA TAU KITA BAKAL MATI PADA AKHIRNYA?
Because, as human beings, all we can do is staying alive.. 'though we don't know if the next hour, or the next minute, He will take us, and end our lifes.. We will never know..
It's about how we live our lifes, it's about how to survive, it's about how we use the time that has been given to us..
I'm not saying smoking is wrong..It's just my thought"
