Silver Lining of the Cloud

I was writing this to shout at him, to let him know that I was tired of seeing him down, so low he pressed his head to the ground. I've been working my ass off just to have some understanding from this dark creature only because I cared so much of him. He'd done many times better for me in this spec. So, why can't I?

Life is a waste if you can't live it to the fullest: in love, learn and achievement. He had his love, allright (though maybe it's not the kind of love that he had in mind) and he didn't bother much about it. He had--perhaps--had his way on achieving something. But learn? You can't stop right there to the spot in learning. It never ends. I knew that he had learned all the things he needed, technically of speaking, but it's never enough. Because life goes on and on and on and never stop till you die, which is when is a mystery.

He had his family, friends and community and they had some hopes--or should I say demands?--especially his closest surroundings: home. The last thing he always remembered when he had to got back home on Christmas was his father (the only parent he got left) saying: "I just want to be there and see your graduation ceremony, Sonny." Too late, it never happened...

Few days after I left him with his thought of--hopefully--resolution, I heard the news, the thing that had never crossed my mind nor his: The Father had passed away. I heard sorrow in his voice. So, be it. It was God's will. You can't turned back the time. No matter how deep your misery, it won't bring him back to life.

I gave him and his family my deepest condolence, but this thing was keep on banging on my deepest, darkest door in the botommost part of my heart. Was it a crime to feel an itsy-bitsy, tiny-weeny feeling of a covert relief? It's not that I was--nor I am--happy with it, but I just want this moment to whip him, to make him move and act, to have him awaken and aware of his goals, achievements, work.



... and I have to do the same with myself also ...

And that is this fuckin' blog thingy is all about. I'm doing nothing but satisfying my crave of attention. I'm through playing wannabe martyr. I'm done being fallen, unrecognized heroine. My time has come to retire from a miserable drama queen. For all of the unfortunates who are not blessed by fluent English, I'm saying this out loud: Saya selesai sampai disini. Entah sampai kapan. I'm not impersonating that guy in wordpress that fetched various statements from those who despised him and he tired of them. My visitors are mostly nice people and I would kill to be that popular. Don't put too much honors to yourself. No, it's not because of all the godamned fuckin' irrelevant comments. It's not because of how you put your stupid values upon me either. It's just somehow I feel enough. I'm finished with my broadcasted, no good, ridiculous state of minds that I blatantly pushed before your very silly faces and shoved up to your brain and feel ...

Tentang "Dikocok-kocok" dan "Keluar di Dalem"

Ini cerita tentang kejadian dua hari lalu. Maaf, bukan cerita jorok seperti judulnya. Malah kebalikannya. Jadi begini… Saat itu siang gerah di pojokan Jakarta dan sayangnya saya harus keluar kamar menyelusur aspal demi menyambung napas ketemu klien--satu hal yang paling dihindari mahluk nokturnal berkaki dua seperti saya. Beberapa mbak-mbak dan siswi SMU yang semuanya berjilbab menaruh pantat di sebelah saya pada jok Metromini 72, di deretan kursi paling belakang. Mereka lumayan berisik, cicit-cuwit cekikikan nggak penting, menafikan kemacetan lengas yang meresap masuk dari celah jendela dan pintu terbuka. Lalu seorang penjual stiker melompat naik, membagikan dagangan yang dia sebut "murah meriah", yaitu dua lembar kalimah suci tentang nama dan kebesaran Tuhan. Tak lama kemudian bis terguncang-guncang memasuki mulut terminal yang aspalnya berantakan kayak muka saya. Penjual stiker yang selesai memunguti kembali dagangannya dari para penumpang berdiri di depan saya. Bib...

Story of Women

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what’s given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit! - Anonymous Dinihari bersama hingar teriakan Otong KOIL dari headset melepaskan penat saya memelototi ratusan baris terjemahan, proyek kerjabakti bersama seseorang. Agak siang nanti saya berjanji sowan ke rumah perempuan hebat, a newly divorcee , a single mom, dengan seekor labrador betina cantik dan putri pintar. Ia menjanjikan saya Chicken Adobo yang baru saya dengar namanya. Saya mengenalnya, tidak secara intens, beberapa bulan belakangan. Namun dari pertemuan kami yang baru tiga kali, perempuan usia tiga empat yang sedang rehat dari studi beasiswa S3-nya di Australia ini memiliki aura menyamankan dan damai. Berada di istana ...
