horay! :)

Guess I've found my mood and my passion back. Glad to have you back, guys. Now every night, there are only stories, typing, and laptop on my mind. Everything's been great eventhough life's still sucks.

humanity.

Pernah terbersit nggak sih di otak kalian (hah? siapa kalian? emang ada yang baca? hahaha) kalau bencana itu terkadang ada untuk 'memanusiakan' manusia di bumi ini? Nggak usah sok-sok sebumi dulu deh, saya bicara tentang Indonesia dulu ya. Sebelum Wasior, banjir Jakarta, Merapi dan Mentawai yang bertubi-tubi, orang cuma ribut soal traffic, maki-maki Fauzi Bowo, ribut ditinggal pacar, duit abis melulu, ngerasa nggak punya baju padahal berdiri di depan tumpukan baju di lemari (haha ini termasuk saya sih), and no one really cares. I mean, saya yakin (mudah-mudahan) semua pasti tidak lupa menyisihkan sebagian pendapatan tiap bulannya untuk mereka yang membutuhkan. Tapi saya juga yakin banyak yang melakukannya hanya atas nama 'kewajiban'. 'Membersihkan' harta. Meskipun mungkin banyak juga yang benar-benar peduli. Saya sendiri mengakui terkadang saya masih jadi bagian dari mereka yang termasuk golongan pertama. Meskipun saya juga masih memendam mimpi ingin membangun NGO dan partisipasi di LSM kemanusiaan.

Well, anyway, bencana bertubi-tubi ini justru kembali 'menyentil' manusia di Indonesia untuk peduli. Mulai deh foto di BBM berganti dengan image #prayforindonesia. Doa-doa dan harapan virtual bagi Indonesia pun mengalir melalui hashtag tersebut di Twitter. Broadcast massage dan informasi nomor rekening bantuan bencana, posko bantuan bencana juga ditampilkan dimana2 (say thanks to technology 'cause right now everything's so easy!). Lihat? Bencana selalu bisa membuat negeri ini bersatu. Menggelitik sisi kemanusiaan dari sudut hati orang-orang yang tiap hari mengomel karena masalah.

Bagi keluarga korban, semoga diberi kekuatan, kemudahan dan ketabahan. Tuhan itu baik, apapun agamamu. Untuk para korban, semoga mendapatkan tempat terbaik di sisiNya. Untuk teman-teman, jangan pernah tutup hatimu untuk peduli. Life is beautiful, banyak yang jauh lebih tidak beruntung dari kita. Salurkan bantuanmu dalam bentuk apapun yang kamu bisa, meskipun hanya seuntai doa, kalau memang hanya itu yang kalian mampu lakukan. One voice do count.

Oh iya, hey kalian relawan-relawan tak takut mati yang dulu meminta dikirim ke Palestina, lebih baik ke Wasior, Merapi atau Mentawai dulu deh. Mereka juga butuh bantuan kalian kok. :)

Be strong, humans. :-)

You can tear my family apart, You can take the person that I love, but please.... please... not my dreams... please... :(

accessories.

As I sit here, quietly, watching my fingers move constantly over the keyboard, then I catch a glimpse of a sentimental feeling. My right hand, has some accessories on it. And funny how all of them has their stories. None of them expensive nor good looking, in fact they look so worn out because I've never took them off. Inspite of their ugly appearances, they're priceless for they are represent people and their meaning to my life. And looking at those old pictures, I'm thinking, funny how time flies so fast. One time someone means the world to me, the other time, they're just a past. and vice versa. And I'm happy for those who already moved on. May life ahead far better than before, friends. :-)

Is it true my friend, that true love won't fade away?
Or are we just being completely human afterall?

My Deepest Condolence.

This morning, a father of my beloved bestfriend, Jessica Nathalia, passed away. Heart attack. Left her unprepared, devastated. And there I was, looking at one of the toughest woman I know, fell down on her knees. Crying out loud. And it breaks my heart. One more step to reach her dream, but God has another plan. All the late night phone-calls, sea snorkles, their special father-daughter relationship, now they stayed memories.

Be tough my bestfriend, for your own good, and for your family. You're the one who always chanting your prayers for me everytime I got into a problem, now it's my turn, to pray for your happiness and strength. To pray for the best place your father will deserve alongside God, The Almighty. To pray for your dreams and spirit to live on. To pray that love and laugh will always be on your path.

You still got gazillion families, friends, and one superguy called Danang. You will always have us. I know it wouldn't be the same, but it's true that you will always have us on your side. And we all wait, my friend. Wait for your smile to come back upon your face. Wait for this little thing to get up again. But meanwhile, we'll do our job. To always be there for you.

Chin up, Jessi. We love you more than you could ever imagine. :-)

Love, your bestfriend.
