Christ at the center of all things was a theme to which John Paul II returned until the very end of his life and which served as his unceasing prayer for the church and the world. On Oct. 22, 1978, only a few days after his election as pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II called upon the world: "Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ. To his saving power upon the boundaries of states, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture, civilization and development. Do not be afraid.
An atheist's tribute to the good shepherd
I’m 60, a man who long ago stopped believing in God, the types of God fashioned by man, the type of God believed in by John Paul II. But, on this day of grief, April 3, 2005, I honor, in my own way the passing of this great man.
Even an atheist must honor a man like John Paul II. This man, this pope, lived the ideals that he professed, the ideals of Christianity, and did so aggressively. No sitting in Rome for John Paul II. He traveled the world with relentlessness; he movingly kissed the soil of each new land arrived at. He reached out to the sick, the poor, the dispossessed. He lectured the rich and powerful. He was conservative in the finest sense of that word, even for me a liberal, for he loved sinners and forgave them even while setting, through his agenda, very strict standards.
His conservatism never seemed ugly, punitive, unforgiving. What stunning leadership. He fought communism and I wonder if the full story of his leadership against that doctrine will ever be fully known? A son of Poland, perhaps her greatest, his life span had allowed him to see close up the evils of the 20th Century’s enslaving doctrines.
He used that insight wisely and relentlessly. Across the globe, wherever he went, the faithful would gather to catch a glimpse of this man who spoke of a better world. And so, even non-believers like me mourn his passing. We join the ranks of those who will miss him. And we smile with appreciation knowing that stubborn and skeptical though we may be, John Paul viewed people like us with love, tolerance and above all faith. He,through the experience of his decades, knew that ultimately faith is so much stronger than doubt. He was and will remain the good shepherd. —Peter Twomey, Marshfield, MA

Doing The Best Thing..
Time will never come back! what i have is now (today), yesterday is the past, and tomorrow is too uncertainty. But I know, what goes around comes around...
Yesterday, I'm browsing some website, and I found very interesting quotation:
Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt
Dance like nobody's watching
Sing like nobody's listening
Live like it's heaven on Earth
The first time I read that, I said it's impossible!! but after deep thought, I know that is what Gandhi, Mother Theresa did it..even when they are not in earth anymore but time has written their name in the stone.
If we put our name in the sand, the wind will easily blow out, but if our name written on the stone, wind can't take anywhere...

Someone That I Used To Love
When I wake up each morning/Trying to find myself/And if I'm ever the least unsure/I always remind myself/Though you're someone in this world/That I'll always choose to love/From now on You're only someone That I used to love
As for me, it's getting down/To the last unspoken part/When you must begin to ease The pain of a broken heart/Tell me why should I even care/If I have to lose your love/From now on you're only someone That I used to love
I wish it was enough for you/All the love I had to give/And I did my best to keep you satisfied/I guess you'll never know/How much I tried, I really tried/And if ever our paths should cross again/Well, you won't find me/Being the one to get lost again/Once I had so much to give/But you just refused my love/From now on you're only someone That I used to love
And I did my best to keep you satisfied/I guess you'll never know How much I tried, I really tried/And if ever our paths should cross again/Well, you won't find me Being the one to get lost again/Once I had so much to give/But you just refused my love/From now on you're only someone That I used to love
Tonight you're someone in this world/That I'll always choose to love/From now on you're only someone That I used to love/Hoo, from now on you're only someone That I used to love

Easter Blessing..
Wooww..it sounds that God hear my plea. This I called an Easter Blessing.
I take this life by making one small step each day I woke up. My life is like a serendipity, this is true. Though I want him, but consider the depths between us, I never ask for more and I never expected too much.
So..if this is my cross, I take that risk, I'm trying to build the bridge between us..
Xmas, New Year, His B'day, Valentines Day, Easter Day..it's a blessed from up above for me and him.

Between Friendzz
About me and friendzz..
I'm not sure, what should i put in this blog, the last time i try to write bout "time", I couldn't publish my post.
I want to tell a story bout God's Two Boxes, I received this story this morning, on my email box.
I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"He smiled a gentle smile and said,"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go and let GOD ."
After I read that, I begins to count my blessings, my first blessing this morning, I woke up in healthy body then my second blessings I arrived save in the office, then it's a blessings, I can chat with two my lovely bestfriends, and in the lunch time..It's a blessing that, finally I can call him. The Blessing still continue..
I believe if I put all my problems in God's boxes, his hands will carry me out of my problem.
He sent an angel, call friendz..to help me out and solve my problem, to motivate me, to stand besides me, so I don't feel lonely...

Soulmate
What is a soulmate?
"A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks."
Somedays ago, my friend told me, her soulmate could be He or She.
I think it's true..because I realize, that a soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
For other person, we could be a soulmate or even an angel.
Yes, we are an angel with one wing, we can only fly if we hold each other wings.
Today, I have found out my soulmate and my angel..
In time of trouble I will turn on you (irene) asking your wing, so we could fly together.
In the hard time, I found out that God always carry me out, he always send his angel..

There’s a time and place for everything, for everyone

HAVE YOU EVER ?
Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for? THAT'S GOD talking to you through the Holy Spirit.
Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to? THAT'S GOD wanting you to talk to Him.
Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from them?
THAT'S GOD. There is no such thing as coincidence.
Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you needed, but couldn't afford?
THAT'S GOD knowing the desires of your heart.
Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it was going to get better, how the hurting would stop, how the pain would ease, but now you look back on it. . .. THAT'S GOD passing us through tribulation to see a brighter day

Kapan yaah
Terima kasih Tuhan saya punya teman-teman yang menyenangkan, punya teman-teman yang mau mendengarkan, punya teman-teman yang memperhatikan dan menguatkan.
Ketika hidup seperti....................
ketika lelah menunggu...............
ketika ga tau mesti mengambil keputusan..........
ketika sangat-sangat bosan....
kau ingatkan masih ada satu kata..BERSYUKUR..
bahwa:
masih bisa merasakan hidup
masih diberi kesempatan menunggu (walau tak tahu kapan dapat jawabannya)
masih diberi pilihan
masih diberi rutinitas,,,,,,
above all Tuhan meminta kita menunggu karena mempunyai alasan.

WHEN TIME TO c h o o s e
Here I'm in the moment to choose
When time to choose comes, yang ada ga segampang bayangan tapi ga sesulit yang dibayangin
LOOOHH? maksudnya gimana nih
kalo ada 2 pilihan: A dan B
tetap masih ada pilihan ke 3
dan pilihan itu adalah tidak memilih A dan B atau malah memilih kedua-duanya.
Kalo tidak memilih A dan B, sounds fair for A and B, but not for me..
Kalo memilih kedua-duanya naah ini baru fair for me, tapi ga buat A & B (but who cares bout that) as long as make me happy....
so selfish!!

CinTapuccino
GRRRRR..
baru baca kata pengantarnya aja dah gue banget..quarter life crisis..
baca ini novel bikin gue bisa berdamai dengan "keinginan hati" dan mempercayai segala sesuatu ada waktunya juga mempercayai proses.
Toh kalo jodoh, ada aja jalannya untuk ketemu!!
setiap orang mempunyai kisah cinta sendiri dan itulah indahnya hidup..
Ga selamanya yang namanya obsesi itu berarti negatif.
1. Apakah gue pernah mempunyai seorang "nemo" ? YUP..
2. Apakah gue pernah menjadi "rahmi" ? sure, I was..(and don't like it)
3. Apakah masih terobsesi dengan seseorang? yeaah

Love Takes Time
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you."
It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that Love even forgot to ask the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love, realizing how much Love owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder, " Who helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with great Wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

I really care bout YOU
Aneh..
awalnya I can't go on another day without thinking about you, seing you, and hear your voice
selalu menantikan kesempatan bertemu..
dan kini..malah lega melihatmu tidak berada disampingku..
walau aku masih merindu tapi aku lega.
Mungkin..
aku mulai terbiasa tanpamu, tanpa percakapan yang hangat, tanpa kata-katamu yang merindu.
Aaaggghh..senangnya mempunyai waktu sendiri tanpa memikirkanmu.
Aagghh leganya..
I CARE BOUT YOU BUT NOT SURE YET!

Yogyakarta 28 - 30 januari 2005
jam 6.15 dah di Cengkareng, padahal pesawatnya baru jam 9 take off..weh suwi men.
"monggo, malioboro, alun-alun, pathuk, taman sari", kata bang becak..eehhmm ini bener-bener yogya, kota yang ngangenin.
Hari pertama tiba, my schedule, makan (laper dari jam 5 dah pergi dari Depok), trus check in dan nyekar ke mbah putri dan om, sebelah selatan yogya... don't see my family there because my uncle have to go to city soon! then go to Salam (daerah Magelang) menghadiri acara siraman nuke dan nemenin midodareni..
Jam 20.30 dijemput lagi dan lgs menuju hotel, eeh sempat juga muter-muter nyari toko buah yg masih buka (walah) ternyata bu nuke, lupa blum beli buah buat persembahan. Trus sampai hotel, ganti baju, dan jalan ke malioboro, nyari makanan buat temen-temen yg baru aja datang..lesehan di malioboro, sumpah bakal kecewa, ga enak, dan mahal, disitu harga ayam goreng bisa 9000..lohhh!! ini kan jogja bukan jakarta..jelas mahal banget! tapiii mas pengamennya boleh juga..heuhehhee..mitra bestari ampe speechles, jadi mo request satu lagu neeh.
Sabtu pagi..ke pemberkatan nuke di salam, foto-foto dan kemudian pulang ke sosrowijayan, terus ke kota gede, cari perak, beli cincin terus ke kasongan lihat pernak-pernik, kalo dah punya rumah sendiri pengen juga nih dekor dengan pernak-pernik yang cute dan etnik. Malam ke resepsi di Balai Sinta...foto-foto..emang cewe-cewe ini banci kamera semua ga nahan liat ada kamera!!
Malam minggu, ke alun-alun ngidul, niatnya mo buktiin jalan lurus melewati dua pohon beringin tapi ga pada punya nyali, ramai banget di lapangan, dah deh ga usah ntar malah nubruk orang!!!Weeh ramenya alun-alun..berderet penjual wedang ronde, akhirnya lesehan di tikar pesen wedang ronde (cukup 2000 saja semangkuk kecil), ngobrool sambil liat orang-orang yg pada nyasar lewatin pohon beringin then go home sleep tight! (Ngantuuk berat)
Minggu pagi, jam 10..ke Taman Sari naik becak pulang pergi 10 ribu! rutenya sosrowijayan-taman sari-jalan pathuk-es eni. Selama 3 hari disana langganan di es eni, cukup murah untuk ukuran jakarta terus ditambah banyak pilihan makanan dan lumayan bersih!
Sore, yang lain pada lanjut ke malioboro ngeborong oleh-oleh but I stay at hotel..malezzz hehehe tidur aja ahhhh...malioboro dah sering banget gue ukur panjangnya, lagian nyokap n bokap baru aja dari yogya, ga perlu beli oleh-oleh kan (males apa duit dah abis??) :P
Jam 5 sore, siap ke airpot, wah pulang lagi deh ke Jakarta!!!

I know I'm kinda strange, to you sometimes
Don't always say, what's on my mind
You know that I've been hurt, by some guy
But I don't wanna mess up this time
And I really really really care
And I really really really want you
And I think I'm kinda scared
Cos I don't want to lose you
If you really really really care
Then maybe you can hang through
I hope you understand
It's nothing to you
My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged
I might look through your stuff, for what I don't wanna find
Or I might just set you up, to see if you're all mine
I'm a little paranoid, from what I've been through
Don't know what you got yourself into
And I really really really care (and I care about you so much)
And I really really really want you (I really do want you)
And I think I'm kinda scared (but I'm scared with every touch)
Cos I don't want to lose you (cos I don't want to lose you)
If you really really really care (if you care for me like you say)
Then maybe you can hang through (then maybe you can hang through)
I hope you understand (I hope you understand)
It's nothing to you (it's nothing to you, you)
My heart's at a low (low)
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that (I think you should know)
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love (I'm falling in love)
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged (I think you should know that)

La..la..la..la
Last night, nonton TV Global, acaranya film Korea, ga tau judulnya, karena gue nonton ga dari awal..that movie is so funny, gaya ceritanya seperti komik Jepang. Talking 'bout komik, jadi kangen baca komik Jepang lagi.
Balik lagi ke cerita film Korea, sebenarnya ide film ini sederhana, dan ga ada yang terlalu istimewa, gue pikir film semacam meteor garden ternyata lebih.., walau ceritanya masih mengenai percintaan...wekeke..
Di film ini ada seorang pemuda, ganteng untuk ukuran orang Korea (kalo di Indonesia sih ga ada apa-apanya), trus kaya lagi (khas film Asia) and terus kerjaannya berantem, sampai-sampai harus dipanggilin guru les privat, karena si cowo ini bego!
Lucunya ini film kalo menggambarkan adegan perkelahian..hueebaat..seperti film kugfu, jagoan selalu menang, dengan gaya tendang yang muter-muter, ga ada guru privat yang betah, karena keberandalannya dan keisengannya..
until one day..datanglah seorang cewe, yang imut, lembut, dan ketakutan, karena mesti ngadepin si cowo yang 'nyebelin', seperti bisa ditebak kelanjutan ceritanya..akhirnya si cowo ini walau di awal jual mahal + sok playboy dan pura-pura ga butuh, akhirnya at the end of story when his girl friend asking to him "pilih siapa, saya atau dia..mm..si cowo dengan mantep bilang, pilih dia" (maksudnya si guru privatnya).
Walau, si cewe ini juga awalnya denial kalo dia jatuh hati sama si pemuda ini dan ga mau 'jalan' sama cowo yg lebih muda, tengil, ngerepotin...tetapi menyadari di akhir cerita kalo he's the one! the one yang bikin hatinya ga keruan, ketika si cowo ini kabur dari rumah, trus ketika dia broken heart karena cowonya mutusin sampai-sampai dia mabuk dan minta dijemput..siapalagi kalo bukan muridnya. Belum yang megangin payung..di saat hujan..(romantis banget).
Sama juga buat si pemuda, guru privatnya ini berarti banget, dia yang bikin ujiannya sukses, sehingga dia ga jadi dibuang ke luar negeri, si cewe ini yang nyariin dia waktu dia ngambek diusir dari rumah, terus waktu dia berantem dan hampir kalah, si cewe ini yang nendang tepat di titik lemah si lawan muridnya...wuakakaka..sayang gue nonton sendiri, jadi ketawa sendirian.
Film ini bisa dibilang komedi romantis, ga terlalu menye-menye..tapi bikin ketawa ngakak!!
[Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simplier, but much less magical]

Kisah Ila
Orang bijak berkata : kita mengetahui dia jodoh kita atau bukan adalah ketika kita berpisah dengannya...bukan saat kita bertemu dengannya
Kisah Ila seorang istri dari pasangan muda yang baru hidup 1 tahun, suatu malam...ketika sang suami sudah tertidur lelap disampingnya, ila masih terjaga, ditatapnya wajah suaminya, dan Ila hanya bisa menggerutu dalam hati melihat sosok sebenarnya jauh dari idaman, palagi ketika sang suami mulai mendengkur dan mengeluarkan ingus semakin jijik rasanya, akhirnya dia menutup wajah dengan bantal dan mencoba tidur dengan segala kebisingan galauan suara hati. kemudian dalam mimpi, dia hidup dalam suasana yang sangat membahagiakan, ditemani sosok idaman yang begitu mempesona sesuai dengan yang dia inginkan, begitu terasa hidup mimpi itu, sampai-sampai tersenyum berkali-kali dalam tidur. Namun, suatu ketika dia terbangun, karena kaki sang suami menimpa tubuh, memang seringkali sang suami tidur jumpalitan tak karuan, dan ini yang keseribu kalinya mimpi indah lenyap gara-gara kejadian yang sama, dia pun melolot, dan tanpa sadar untuk pertama kalinya membentak sang suami dengan kata kasar.
Sang suami pun terbangun dan meminta maaf, dan dengan sabarnya membujuk untuk tetap tenang, setelah uring-uringan, untuk yang pertama kalinya juga, akhirnya Ila bisa meredam emosi, kemudian dia bertanya atas pertanyaan yang akhir-akhir ini ingin disampaikan, "mengapa kamu menikahiku?", sang suami pun menjawab "memang kamu bukan cewek idamanku sayang... tapi dari sekian waktu kita habiskan bersama aku memilih untuk menjadikanmu pasangan hidup, yang akan selalu kuperhatikan, kusayangi , kucintai selamanya, karena memang aku sudah memilihmu... aku sadar kalau aku selalu mencari sosok idaman, ada kemungkinan kan kudapatkan, tapi ada kemungkinan juga aku kan selalu mencari hingga Tuhan memanggil, karena bisa jadi aku takkan pernah punya kesempatan bertemu dengan sosok idamanku itu , atau malah sosok idamanku akan menghindar tuk mencari idamannya juga, jadi kapan waktuku tuk membina keluarga? menyayangi dan disayangi seseorang? hanya Tuhan yang tau sayang..." terhenyak Ila mendengarnya, penjelasan yang jauh dari keegoisan, kata-kata yang sangat jauh dari kepentingan sudut pandang pribadi,
akhirnya Ila pun terharu dan mulai saat itu tak pernah mengingat-ingat sosok idaman, sosok itu telah dia kubur dalam-dalam, dan dia dapat menerima suaminya dengan segala kekurangan yang dimiliki...
Jadi, tidakah kau mengerti, bahwa pasangan hidup kita adalah memang yang terbaik, tak perlu menghabiskan waktu dan energi untuk selau memikirkan kekurangan yang ada, karena tidak akan pernah kau dapatkan pasangan yang sesuai dengan keinginanmu, karena pasanganmu adalah apa yang ada disekitarmu, yang sebetulnya bisa kau raih bila kau membuka mata dan hatimu atas segala kelebihan dan kekurangan yang kau dan dia miliki. Karena pasanganmu adalah yang ada didepanmu, yang semestinya kau dapat ,bila kau memberikan hatimu, untuk mengisi yang kurang dan mengurangi yang berlebihan atas apa yang ada pada dirimu dan dia.
Oke begitu aja ceritanya, pokoknya be responsible on your choise-lah, selalu ada banyak pilihan untuk kita, selalu menggerutu atas kekurangan yang ada atau menerima kekurangan yang ada dengan ikhlas sehingga hiduppun terasa sederhana, tidak memberatkan dan lebih menyenangkan.
Gimana bahkan sehirup napas dalam diakhir cerita pun akan selalu menyegarkan pikiran kita...yuppp!!
bagi petualang cinta, teruskan aja, kau sudah memilih untuk hidup mengelana, tidak ada yang salah ko, cuma lebih sadari aja bahwa hidup bagimu lebih menyenangkan dengan berpetualang!
bagi yang memilih untuk menikah, sadari aja bahwa kau telah memutuskan untuk menikah, bukankah itu adalah keputusanmu sendiri atas sekian banyak pilihan yang ada?
bagi jomblo mania, tau...aaahh kenapa se ndak pacaran? ndak laku kali...hehehe sorry, that is your decision to live alone, sadari itu! bukankah selama ini kau menikmati kesendirian itu? semuanya adalah keputusanmu sendiri! dari sekian banyak pilihan yang ada. Sadari dan bertanggung jawab aja, tak ada orang lain yang menentukan arah hidup, semuanya ditanganmu sobat!

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if
I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.

Friday
Much...much better than a week ago or two days ago..
Today is new, unlike any other day, for God makes each day different.
Today God's everyday gracefalls on my soul like abundant seed, though I may hardly see it.
Today is one of those days Jesus promised to be with me, a companion on my journey, And my life today, if I trust him, has consequences unseen. My life has a purpose

I am Back
Mimpi yang aneh! dua hari cuti, semalam bermimpi kerja di kantor yang lama. Kantor itu dah gue tinggalin setahun yang lalu, tapi di mimpi semuanya serba jelas, gue lagi ngapain, gue ngomong apa ama mantan bos, sampai gue pake sepatu apa tergambar jelas!
anyway keputusan yang gue coba ambil, the easy way out, blum juga gue berani ambil, semuanya masih blum pasti, it's so hard to make up my mind!
so now I count the day, hoping that miracle soon comes. I try to listen my heart, tapi susah juga, bener kata nyokap, kalo suara hati itu kecil..hampir tak terdengar, dan bila terdengar itupun samar-samar. (love is not enough but without love is not right too).

Wacth Out!!
Another task!
Urgent thing!
Everything must be done as soon as possible!
I will be so busy during this month!
Outside I look so cool but inside no body knows!
Seperti pagi ini Bibi nanya apa ga cape tuh kerja dan kuliah kapan belajarnya?
you want me to answered the truth?? I never study, I never have enough time to do my paper! I'm almost give up! and I put the one I love at the end of the line! I never have time to go out and enjoy my day without thinking paper, task, job ect..
Instead of saying that I said to her, I do it whenever I have time! and everything is fine so far!
Denied that I need a break!

Ketemuan yang singkat..
terserah kita berdua bagaimana selanjutnya..
i feel okay but what about him? (Friday night at 8.00 PM)
well just see and wait, be patient I get a plenty of time..
because love takes time, they said.
Meantime just tidy up my heart so when it really comes I am well prepare and ready to win..
The First Day
Hari pertama masuk kerja di tahun yang baru and I went early to office! (tidak terlambat lagi Sebenarnya if you think you can then you can... walau kadang rasa males itu lebih besar!
Hari ke-3 di tahun yang baru seperti tahun-tahun yang lalu ada begitu banyak yang mau dicapai, termasuk salah satunya mewujudkan resolusi tahun lalu yang belum tercapai. Mungkin belum terwujud because I said No to the good, so I can say Yes to the best!
The most important, resolusi tahun ini adalah peningkatan kualitas pribadi : menjadi pribadi yang bahagia dan percaya kepada diri sendiri dan semakin rendah hati. Lebih rajin lagi berdoa! Think positive! Belajar mendengarkan kata hati! and the last but not the least .......... Love doesn't hurt all the time. Though the hurting is still there to test me, to help me grow. Don't find love, let love find me! (That's why it's called falling in love because I don't force myself to fall. I just fall)

-----
Tuesday morning!!
should finish my paper today, 3 papers and then pick up my laundry!
of course in the meantime doing my job and listening to favorite song.
Tonight gonna think deeply what I'm going to do next year..
Make some resolutions so I could be a better man each year..
Gonna drive my car with anybody who willing to stay with me (sound so simple)
This is what I gonna do............
Take twelve, fine, full-grown months,
see that these are thoroughly free
from all old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate and jealousy;
cleanse them completely from every clinging spite:
pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness;
in short , see that these months are freed from all the past;
have them as fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of Time.
Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts.
This batch will keep for just one year.
Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time
(so many persons spoil the entire lot in this way),
but prepare one day at a time, as follows:
Into each day put twelve parts of faith,
eleven of patience, ten of courage,
nine of of work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest),
eight of hope,
seven of fidelity,
six of liberality,
five of kindness,
four of rest (leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad, don't do it),
three of prayer,
two of meditation,
and one well selected resolution.
If you have no conscientious scruples,
put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits,
a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play,
and a heaping cupful of good humor.
Pour into the whole love ad libitum and mix with a vim.
Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat;
garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy;
then serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness,
and a Happy New Year is certain

satu hari setelah Christmas
Hari Minggu di saat sedang asyik mengerjakan tugas kelompok bersama Mitra Bestari, ada kabar dari radio kalo terjadi gempa di Lor, Aceh. Korbannya cukup banyak katanya..berita masih simpang siur mengenai korban tetapi jumlahnya mencegangkan, ribuan..
Ribuan jiwa manusia, belum lagi kerugian materialnya.
Kita bisa kehilangan orang yang kita cintai secepat kita membuka lembaran buku!

25 Desember at Home...
Hari Natal, mami menyiapkan hidangan handalnya, Gudeg. Sebenarnya I promised to help her, tetapi karena sesuatu hal, saya telat sampai rumah dan gudeg sudah selesai dibuat.
Tanggal 24 Desember sebelum misa mulai, sms telah mulai masuk, dari jam tiga sore, handphone dah mulai berbunyi.. tapi malam natal kali ini ke gereja cuma bertiga bersama dengan mami dan ayah. Sepiiiii..walau di gereja banyak sekali umatnya but I miss something real, I miss the spirit of christmas.
Tanggal 25 Desember, pagi-pagi dah hujan, rasanya malezz sekali menjejakkan kaki di lantai kamar, pengennya menghangatkan diri di bawah tumpukan selimut dan lanjut tidur. Tapi Noel dah membangunkan, wah dia jalannya dah lancar, bener-bener jadi the center of attention, everybody loves him. Tamu-tamu berdatangan jam 11 siang, sebenarnya hanya keluarga dari Ayah sementara dari keluarga Mami belum ada yang datang di hari Sabtu. My second brother with his wife also come. Well dapat tenaga tambahan nih, karena ga ada pembantu, jadilah saya menjadi assistant manager untuk urusan menyiapkan makanan dan mencuci gelas dan piring. Yah kenapa Mami lupa tidak beli aqua di dalam gelas plastik, kalo ada aqua kan ga perlu terlalu sering cuci gelas.
Sore hari rumah kembali sepi, tamu-tamu dah pada pulang. Tapi kenapa belum damai juga hati ini, seperti ada yang kurang. Jam lima sore, satu sms yang dinanti dari kemaren tiba..ooh akhirnya, ada juga sedikit "perhatian" darinya. Lengkap sudah Natal 2004...that sms completed my day!
23 December 2004
Refleksi diri...
What's the meaning of christmas this year??
jawabannya dimulai dengan 'merefleksi' diri, mencerna kembali..apa yang telah di dapat dari Januari sampai dengan 23 Desember 2004.
Banyak sekali yang telah terjadi sepanjang tahun ini. Tuhan telah mencukupi segala sesuatunya, bahkan melebihi apa yang saya minta.
My list of thanks will be longer than my list of hope..
21 December 2004
I Like Monday
semalam jadi juga "jalan" setelah muter-muter, dari kampus ke mekarsari baru ke plaza EX. Weh nungguin karimun datang, kita berempat udah melahap sekoteng, martabak telor sama nasi goreng. Begitu karimun datang ternyata supirnya ga 'available'...
Jam 11 malam baru jalan dari Mekarsari naik taxi, sampai disana dah hampir jam 12!
yah koq suasana sepi-sepi aja nih?? gerak-gerak badan dikit, walau ga matching ama lagunya :P
ga terasa dah jam 2 pagi. Lagunya standard 'hardrock' mirip-mirip ama yang sering diputar oleh stasiun radionya. Grup bandnya ga jelas darimana blum pernah liat sebelumnya. Penampilannya standard cafe, yang cowo macho dan nge-rapper, sementara yang cewe, sexy, memperlihatkan lekuk-lekuk tubuh :) dengan make-up yang standard cafe juga ! dan lagu penutupnya the reason (and the reason is you..........)
Pengalaman yang...menyenangkan...and the most important we have something to show and tell, walau cuma tidur 3,5 jam..
Wuuuaaaahhh..ngantuk..mesti kerja lagi dan kuliah!!

I'm missing something rEaL
Gosh..
can I survive if I choose this way?
How long should I wait? two or three years??
what should I do next? I've been thinking this over and over
it's not an easy thing to go..
maybe I'm worried to much??
if I meet a great person, do I have any courage to hold him?
to work out things and make it real?
now..I'm missing something real..

A minus
....unbelievable.. A minus for this..
Dua Hari Menjelang Lebaran
Sinar matahari dengan malu-malu mulai memperlihatkan keindahan sinarnya, menembus tirai tipis yang terpasang di daun jendela. Hari baru telah datang, dan semua kegiatan akan segera dimulai dalam hitungan menit demi menit. Kusingkirkan selimut, kurentangkan kedua tangan selebar-lebarnya dan mulut terbuka menguap.
Segera kuraih handuk, kuambil peralatan mandi, dan melangkah menuju kamar mandi. Sepuluh menit kemudian, keluar dari kamar mandi, tubuh terasa segar terkena guyuran air dan kulit terasa lembab karena telah dibersihkan dengan sabun mandi, siap memulai aktivitas selanjutnya. Pagi ini agenda harianku adalah pergi ke kantor, bekerja, dan kemudian sepulang bekerja langung menuju rumah untuk berlibur.
Liburan memang sudah membayangi hariku, hanya perlu menjalani delapan jam dan selanjutnya bebas. Tidak ada kewajiban pergi ke kantor untuk bekerja, tidak ada kuliah dan tidak perlu bangun pagi selama seminggu. Ide-ide sudah bermunculan memenuhi kepala, apa yang akan kulakukan selama seminggu nanti.
Namun sayang, lamunanku harus terputus karena ojek motor yang membawaku menuju kantor telah sampai di pelataran parkir depan kantor. Suasana di pelataran parkir tidak seperti biasanya, kali ini tidak nampak satupun mobil walau waktu telah menunjukkan pukul sembilan pagi.
Suasana di dalam kantor sama senyapnya dengan keadaan di luar. Beberapa teman telah mengambil cuti, dan yang tersisa belum semuanya hadir. Segera ku menuju ruanganku untuk menaruh tas kantor di dalam laci meja, dan kemudian mulai membuka berkas-berkas yang telah menanti untuk diselesaikan.
Tak terasa 20 menit telah berlalu, dua lembar surat telah selesai kuketik dan selama itu tidak ada satupun telepon masuk mengganggu pekerjaanku. Mulai aku menyadari bahwa dua hari menjelang lebaran, rupanya membuat orang sibuk menyiapkan datangnya lebaran, dan melupakan sementara pekerjaan. Apalagi besok adalah hari terakhir berpuasa, tentunya banyak yang memakai hari ini untuk berbelanja kebutuhan merayakan hari Lebaran.
Pikiranku kembali melayang, jauh ke masa lalu, mengingat makna lebaran sewaktu aku masih berusia tujuh atau delapan tahun. Lebaran di masa lalu, berarti memakai baju baru, memasak ketupat, membuat kue-kue kering yang enak, dan bersalam-salaman, meminta maaf di hari Raya. Betapa menyenangkan masa lalu, semuanya kelihatan indah dan polos. Tiba-tiba terdengar suara Manajer Personalia dari intercom yang mengatakan, bahwa kantor hanya akan buka setengah hari untuk hari ini dan karyawan diperbolehkan meninggalkan kantor jam satu nanti.
Melonjak kegirangan hati ini mendengar berita tersebut, segera kuraih gagang telepon dan menelepon ke rumah, meminta dijemput pukul dua nanti. Tak sabar hati ini, menunggu jam dua. Pikiranku kembali melambung, menuju sebuah kebun teh di kawasan Puncak, dimana terdapat sebuah vila mungil dengan tiga kamar tidur, sebuah taman yang ditumbuhi bunga mawar merah dan ditengah taman ada pancuran air yang terbuat dari bambu kuning, dan kolam ikan mas. Tempat yang sangat kurindukan untuk menghabiskan liburan, jauh dari keramaian kota dan hawa yang masih sejuk bebas dari asap kendaraan bermotor dan asap pabrik.

Happines and Sadness
Saat bahagia membawa canda dan tawa, saat sedih membuatmu menangis dan semakin kuat. Seperti matahari yang selalu bersinar dan malam menggantikan siang. Cerita kehidupan berputar...
Life is Beautiful
Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind.
Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind...
Life can be blissful and happy and free...
Life can put beauty in the things that you see...
Life can place challenges right at your feet...
Life can make good of the hardships we meet...
Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin...
Life can reward those determined to win...
Life can be hurtful and not always fair...
Life can surround you with people who care...
Life clearly does offer its Up and its Downs...
Life's days can bring you both smiles and frowns...
Life teaches us to take the good with the bad...
Life is a mixture of happy and sad...
Life is beautiful if you want it that way...

Jangan Berpikir Terlalu Dalam
Hidup itu lebih "indah" bila dijalani.
Jangan menganalisa hidup ini..apa yang sudah terjadi terima saja, dan anggaplah bahwa itu bagian dari suatu kehidupan.
The big things appears because of the small one
Ide besar muncul dari ide-ide yang sebenarnya sederhana..
Kalau kau menganalisa hidup ini, dan terus mencari jawabannya, kau mungkin bisa mendapatkan jawaban yang memunculkan pertanyaan lain..begitu terus hingga akhirnya kau sadari hidup bukan hanya untuk mencari jawaban.
So it's better to make some action rather than discuss about life :)
I write this, not because I don't like with your question, tetapi karena hidup ini lebih indah bila kau menikmati saja apa yang hidup berikan untukmu.
Life just gives you time and space, it's up to you to fill it...

Take Two Lemons and Make Lemonade
I like this story much, so I would like to share it with others...
let's go make an action, fill in our life and you'll surprised with the result...
(By Elaine L. Galit)
Our house invariably had an aroma of "home." Scents like the mouthwateringzest of frying onions at dinner time, and crisp vanilla spice that wafted through the rooms during the day. But after six months wading through the loneliness of widowhood, I realized I didn't like the whiff of sad staleness now permeating the house.
I'd drifted through those last months as though half of me was missing. Not strange, I suppose, after forty years of marriage to the same man. But a day arrived when I realized I had to decide what the rest of my life would belike. Did I want to wander the empty rooms being half a person, or did I want to get out and see if I couldn't become whole again? And if I did want to repair my psyche, how would I go about achieving this metamorphosis?
My children and grandchildren helped me decide."You love to write, Mom," they chorused.
"Write a book."Write a book? I thought. At my age?
But how many times had I told my children to live their dream? It wasstrange, however, to realize I might be able to live my old dream; a visionswallowed up for so many years with housework, husband and children.
Not that I would change a minute of it; that was my life and I loved it.But it wasn't my destiny anymore, and, as the homily goes, the sooner I realized it the better. Time has a way of slip-sliding through your life and before you know it, your children are married and have children of theirown.
Let's face it, if life is made up of seasons I've got autumn challenging me,I thought. Did I want to find out what else life could possibly contain for me, or windup a shriveled, bitter old person? That question made me shudder. I'd always been an active optimist. Over the years when my children jumped from sports to dance and back again, I'd volunteered for everything from Girl Scouts,through mentoring youngsters, to vice president or secretary of the many clubs and organizations I'd joined.
Then, for eighteen years I'd run my own business, a candy and gift shop. Later I'd handled events and promotions for a local bookstore. I had what is now referred to as "life experiences."
So, did I want to start an other business? Volunteer somewhere? When my husband was alive, I'd published a few articles in various magazines. However, my children were correct; I'd always wanted to write a book. Before I had a chance to dwell in other areas, a new world opened up.
An editor, hearing about my desire to link my love of children with my love of Houston, approached me through a mutual friend. Would I write about Houston and what children could see and do in my city? Interesting - I'd tossed adesire into the universe and an answer had drifted down. Without anywarning, I had my chance to write that book. From then on, my life took off in another direction.
I spoke with a good friend and we tossed around ideas. Before I knew it, we were on our way. We'd write a special book. Forget the lists, we'd base ourbook on the core curriculum here in Houston. We researched, interviewed and photographed our way though museums, parks, science exhibits and the manyhidden treasures to be found in our city.
When the book was published, I glowed with pride and my children stifled"I-told-you-sos." But I was even more thrilled when a national bookstorechain named us "Authors of the Month" in our area, and a major literary group asked us to be featured authors for their annual literacy event.
Before we knew it, we had a second contract, and my world and work continued to expand. At the same time, trying for a social life and further development of my"right brain," I went to Sedona, Arizona, for an Elderhostel art sampler.While watercolor wasn't my thing, I loved working with colored pencils. Backin town, I joined an Artist's Way group facilitated by my co author and began colored pencil painting.
Once again the universe sent help in the form of a supportive and synergistic group of people who are not only talented, butshare their love of art and joy of living. At the urging of one of theartists in the group, I agreed to enter a local art show. To my great surprise, I won three ribbons and sold a painting. I could have stayed at home and felt sorry for myself.
Thank goodness I didn't. Oh, don't get me wrong; I did stay at home, but it wasn't to moan about my loss, but rather to work at fulfilling my life's dream.
While doing so, I was also filling my life with something meaningful.I've always known we have many choices in this world. The trick is to select correctly; don't opt to drain life, choose to fulfill life.
As I write this, I'm pursuing both my writing and art careers. And loving every minute of it.Yes, the fall season of life is a challenge. But I realize that when those lemons start falling from the trees in summer, it's wise to collect them. Autumn, especially here in Houston, is still hot. What better than to mix some lemonade with ice tea and sip while working on the latest project?
Action, the joy of living life, throws winter far into the future.

To Be With You
Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
Chorus
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I WANT YOU....
I want you to know, that I let you go not just because I don't love you
I want you to realize that one day in the past you really bright my life
I want you to think that life is sweet even if I'm not there
I want you to see that I care in my own way...
I want you to smile when you see me although we're not lover anymore
I want you to forgive me for not being there when you needed me..
I want you to understand that you can have a happines without me..
I want you to realize that one day in the past you really bright my life
I want you to think that life is sweet even if I'm not there
I want you to see that I care in my own way...
I want you to smile when you see me although we're not lover anymore
I want you to forgive me for not being there when you needed me..
I want you to understand that you can have a happines without me..

AKU TAKUT JATUH CINTA LAGI
Aku takut bila nantinya
Aku jatuh cinta lagi
Walau itu indah
Dan ku pun inginkan
Tergelitik rasa di hatiku, tuk bertemu dengannya lagi
Kita kan bercanda bercerita, segala impian kita

Timbul Tenggelam
Tidak yakin akan sesuatu hal bukan berarti tidak tahu apa yang akan dilakukan
mungkin tidak untuk saat ini
mungkin tidak harus berpikir terlalu dalam
mungkin ini akan segera berlalu
mungkin hanya harus dijalani
menikmati semuanya tanpa harus menganalisa

Putaran Waktu
A little girl ask to her mommy..
She said, "Dear mommy.. what my life will be when I grow up?"
her mom said..what ever you want to be that is you when you grown up
she can't understand it at that time
and then..life goes by...she wasn't a little girl anymore
she's now a working woman, she gets up at 6 am and working till late at night
she has a cute smile, she has a delicated skin and she has a sexy body..
after all still she asking her mom opinion.."mom, what kind of man, my husband will be?"
her mom answer : "the person that loves you and can understand you"
she doesn't believe it because the last time she has a boyfriend, her boyfriend hurted her very much although at first, he promised to love her and never leave her alone.
Time goes by..until one day.. she understand that life isn't just achieve what you want to be and having a handsome boyfriend, but life is when you can share it with other person, and gives your hand when someone needed and be thankful that God loves you.

Listen to your Heart
Ketakutan-ketakutan yang membayangi..
Ketakutan yang seharusnya tidak perlu ada
namun sampai saat ini tidak bisa menghilangkan kekuatiran itu, tetap masih tinggal di hati.
Malam-malam dilalui dengan berharap kekuatiran akan terkikis..waktu-waktu berjalan seperti penentu..menandakan kekuatiran itu masih ada
Kapankah semua itu lenyap, terurai?
Dengarkan kata hatimu..walau kecil..seperti tak terdengar..kadang terkalahkan dengan suara-suara lain.
Suara hati itu tetap ada, menetap di hati, namun kadang timbul dan tenggelam.
Tenggelam ketika suara lain mengambil alih perhatianmu.
Suara hati tetap tinggal, asalkan kau mau mendengarkan dan menjaganya.

Man can't do two Things in The same Time
My friend said, he will not continue his job and just focus on his studying. He said also he didn't have a time to read book. I think he is afraid he will failed (on his study).
Berapa banyak di dunia ini seorang cowo yang bisa mengerjakan 2 hal sekaligus?? rasanya ga banyak, makanya mereka dikodratkan untuk menjadi pencari nafkah saja. Coba bayangkan kalo mesti pergi bekerja terus sampai rumah masih juga mengurus pekerjaan rumah..
sebaliknya seorang cewe apalagi saat ini..banyak sekali yang bekerja keras di luar rumah mencari nafkah dan sampai di rumah mesti mengurus rumah juga, mengurus keluarga..

Forgive me (maaf-memaafkan)
Fasting Month kembali lagi..maaf-memaafkan sebelum menjalani puasa..
harusnya sih beberapa minggu lalu gue bisa memaafkan tapi kenapa ya susah banget..it's hard to say I'm sorry.
Bener juga tuh kata lagu, it's hard for me to say I'm sorry..........
Kasus sudah selesai, buat lagi langkah baru.
Before you ask God to forgive your sin, forgive your friend first

Persimpangan Jalan
Jalan bercabang empat dinamakan perempatan, jalan bercabang tiga dinamakan pertigaan. Kalau Hidup diibaratkan mengendarai mobil di sebuah jalan, setelah jalan mendaki, menurun, berkelok, tiba juga di sebuah persimpangan. Hendak kemana arah tujuan?
Lurus, akan sampai tujuan dengan jarak yang dekat tapi macet. Belok kiri, berarti sedikit memutar tapi akan tiba juga di tujuan. Belok kanan, mungkin tidak akan sampai tujuan...
Mungkin saja, kalau memilih belok kiri, akan ditemui pemandangan yang indah, petualangan yang baru, mungkin saja akan ada orang yang menumpang dan bisa menjadi teman seperjalanan, teman berpetualang...

Kalo Kamu Pahami
My friend asked:
If They Think I'm Beautiful, Smart, Funny and an Easy going Person, why I'm still all Alone..?
because..God wants you to meet a few wrong persons until the day you meet the Right One and you could say..dan mengucap syukur "Terima kasih Tuhan kau telah mempertemukan Kami"

Meet a New Friend (dikenalin)
Selama dua hari, Sabtu dan Minggu kerjaan gue adalah kenalan-- Funny isn't tiba-tiba aja temen-temen gue dengan semangat 45 mau ngenalin ama temennya. Seminggu yang lalu rencana sudah dibuat, tempat sudah ditentukan, pokoknya "Henny tinggal datang aja" kata temen-temen gue.
Oke..why not paling ga, bisa nambah temen. Ditengah kesibukan yang lumayan padat, karena harus kerja kelompok (lagi). Sabtu siang kemaren kita ketemuan di Plaza Semanggi, setelah sempat nunggu setengah jam.. akhirnya ketemuan deh. The big 'O' in my head..................................
The first O.. this guy..the second O..about his job, the third O is his attitude (very polite)
I thinks he's not gonna call me, bout I'm pretty sure we'll gonna meet again. Kenapa gue punya pikiran seperti ini? I don't know but somehow I can feel it.
Satu lagiiii..yang ini di Citos, nah kali ini orang yang mau dikenalin dah menunggu. Obrolan lebih seru..kita ngobrol di kafe kopi dan nyante aja..drink..capucino, eat..nasi goreng, wings goreng..mm perut full. Jam 4.30 akhirnya pertemuan harus disudahi walaupun orang yang dikenalin masih mau ngobrol terus. Yah waktu terus berputar ga bisa lama-lama karena banyak banget kerjaan yang harus diselesaikan.
Cinta ibarat kupu-kupu. Makin kau kejar, makin ia menghindar. Tapi bila kau biarkan ia terbang, ia akan menghampirimu disaat kau tak menduganya. Cinta bisa membahagiakanmu tapi sering pula ia menyakiti, tapi cinta itu hanya istimewa apabila kau berikan pada seseorang yang layak menerima. Jadi tenang-tenang saja, jangan terburu-buru dan pilihlah yang terbaik.

First Thing First
Let first be the first..
I want all on the top priority, I'm doing my best to make everything running smooth. Still I make some mistakes..and looks like I'm runnning of time.
My friends complaining 'bout: lack of attention (did I?) and can't maintain my human relation (sometimes)
I think what they said it's true..I don't have much time to give them attention and I put work and study on the first stage and the rest on the bottom.
At least I done my paper and called my JE :)
what I want next : call my mom, finishing my job, submit my paper, go home, eating cap-cay, then sleeping.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus
Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus...
buku yang sedang gue baca dan belum selesai dibaca
sekilas sih gue liat buku ini membahas relationship antara cowo dan cewe yah setipe dengan "why men don't listen and women can't read map"
kalo di luar sono emang banyak banget buku yang membahas ttg hubungan dan komunikasi cowo dan cewe, tapi rasanya kalo disini blum banyak.
Membaca buku ini membuat gue lebih mengerti kenapa kalo kita (kaum cewe) senang banget "curhat" dan kaum cowo bete banget kalo diminta membicarakan perasaannya. Next time kalo cowo gue tiba-tiba gak mau bicara (pendiam) karena punya masalah sampai ekstrimnya menghilang sejenak dari pusat orbitnya or kalo lagi nyopir, nyari jalan and nyasar tapi bersikeras gak mau nanya..
I will simply said 'that because you are from mars'

Membuat karangan
Dapat tugas dari dosen untuk membuat karangan sebanyak 4 alinea dan temanya perjalanan dari rumah menuju kampus (looks like an easy job isn't). But for me is uneasy things to do..but finally I could at least completed the job. But I don't want to read again, cause if I read again there will be a feeling this is not the best from me..
and here is...
Sabtu pagi ini saya bangun terlambat dari biasanya. Kalau biasanya saya bangun pukul 06:30 pagi, kali ini saya baru bangun pukul 08:00. Penyebab saya bangun telat karena baru pergi tidur sekitar jam 2 pagi setelah menyelesaikan membaca sebuah novel berjudul Saga Merah karangan Marga T.
Perjalanan dari rumah kos menuju kampus hanya memakan waktu lebih kurang 15 menit dan dapat ditempuh dengan berjalan kaki. Keluar dari rumah kos saya menyeberangi jalan Margonda Raya dan masuk ke jalan Sawo kemudian sekitar 30 meter menyusuri jalan tersebut maka saya telah sampai di stasiun UI.
Keadaan di depan stasiun UI pagi ini agak berbeda dari biasanya. Ada antrian panjang mobil pribadi yang menuju Balairung dan bus kuning yang biasanya hilir mudik tidak terlihat. Di halte bus yang bersebelahan dengan stasiun terlihat serombongan mahasiswa sedang menunggu bus kuning sementara di sebelah kanan stasiun UI yang dijadikan tempat mangkal tukang ojek, pagi ini tidak terlihat satupun motor ojek yang mangkal.
Suasana yang berbeda dari biasanya juga terlihat di kampus FISIP. Kampus terlihat lebih semarak dan cantik. Di depan gedung B atau tepatnya di bawah pohon yang rindang (DPR) terdapat deretan meja prasmanan tertutup tirai biru yang mulai diisi makanan oleh petugas jasa boga sementara itu di dekat panggung ada peralatan band berupa organ dan gitar. Dari spanduk putih yang dipasang di dekat panggung terbaca ucapan selamat bagi wisudawan/wisudawati jenjang Magister dan Doktor.

Jakarta (kuningan)
Buuumm!!! dan kaca-kaca berhampuran, hiruk pikuk, jeritan..
kenapa sih mesti terjadi lagi, ini kedua kalinya daerah kuningan menjadi sasaran bom!! is it true JI yang bikin ini semua? bagaimana jadinya kalo someone that I know menjadi korban? untungnya semua yang gue kenal selama gue hidup tidak ada satupun yang menjadi korban.
Bagaimana dengan korban "orang-orang kecil"? apa ya orang-orang yang berprofesi "teroris" itu gak pada mikir..kalo itu terjadi sama keluarganya dan orang-orang yang mereka kasihi atau mereka sudah pernah merasakan orang-orang yang dikasihi menjadi korban dan mereka sekarang menuntut balas?

He doesn't know...
Dia gak tau dan dia gak boleh tau sekarang
sampai nantinya dia tahu sendiri..
bukan artinya membohongi atau menipu
hanya saja just like a puzzle..you need to complete it..
sehingga kau melihat gambar yang utuh.
"segala sesuatu ada waktunya dan KAU membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya"
sampai nantinya dia tahu sendiri..

I'm Gonna Miss You
when you are not around anymore..
when you are not seat closed to me anymore..
when I don't meet you from monday to friday anymore..
when I don't smell the cigarette anymore..
when no one calls like you do everyday..
I'm gonna miss you a lot..
when you are not seat closed to me anymore..
when I don't meet you from monday to friday anymore..
when I don't smell the cigarette anymore..
when no one calls like you do everyday..
I'm gonna miss you a lot..
