Time

Sunday, March 13, 2011 0 Comments
I just need time

to spend good times with you
to see you give me more attention
to feel you within my heart
to erase all this loneliness


you don't know exactly what time is...
until you realize that time is so important
until you can make time for me
until you can sacrifice your time for me

then time will speak to us
we just need time to speak each other from our hearts...

Affection...to be grown

Reaction...to be shown

Enthusiasm...to be felt

A Point of Silence

Tuesday, February 15, 2011 0 Comments
Sweet, then tastes a bit bitter
Half, then seems almost empty
Near, then looks a kind of further
A hundred, then sounds to be twenty

Don't give me a rose
If I can't smell it with my nose
Don't say it's a smile
If I just can see it for a while

These sentences are unspoken
It's your deal
Don't say it will be broken
Find and reach me for real

Ik Mis Je Lievert...

Tuesday, February 15, 2011 0 Comments
The third week...

I don't know what is happened to me but it so tortures.
I feel like dying sometimes. Oh, forgive me for being like this.
I can't sleep at night and do cry before I sleep...
I wish he could feel what I feel..will he care for it?

I feels him so faraway....
I can't contact him all days.
I need to connected him more and more.
When will he convince me with all his heart?

I imagine... 
He sends me messages in his break time at office, asking me, "how are you doing, what are you doing?'
He sends me message when he goes home...
He sends me messages to asking me a "welterusten" or a bit sweet talk, even just for few minutes before he goes sleep.
He remember me all day...

I feel hopeless
I need him to convince me
To reach me to his heart
I wish he knew all my thought

He's too busy with his life and also feel so tired
He just need his life
I'm just an invisible old woman 
whatever...am I too demanding?

To Be

Friday, February 11, 2011 0 Comments
To listen to all my happiness and sadness
To wipe away my tears then pain a smile on my face
To throw away my loneliness then bring me a bunch of joy
To kill the pain inside then take care of me without any pill to take

To share all your happiness and sadness
To take my hands for wiping away your tears then pain a smile on your face
To give me a chance for throwing away your loneliness then bring you a bunch of joy
To let me kill your pain inside then take care of you without any pill to take

To hold hands each other while we're walking together on the road of life
To stare at each other when we face the hardest time on the process of growing

To be here then stay not for a while...sincerely
To be honest, I need you...badly...

Rindu membiru
Hampir seminggu
Aku menunggu
Rindu pun menderu

Rindu mengiris
Senyum pun terkikis
Sendu tak mampu kutangkis
Sepi tiada menipis

Rindu membara
Seiring cinta yang menggelora
Terselip lara
Rindu tiada bermuara

Aku rindu kamu...

A Bitter Yesterday

Thursday, January 20, 2011 0 Comments


 Here she comes....a young woman, a best friend of mine.
In a bitter look of her tired eyes, I discover her story. It's about her yesterday.

I ask her, "What's wrong?"
She answered in a weak voice, "I don't like my yesterday. I found that my man was too busy and I didn't hear anything from him. I need to hear something from him, maybe more than he needs. It's like a different thing in my boring day, a real one which comes from my dream. Reading his words is just like an exciting experience of my days. That's why I became mad when I didn't hear anything from him. I felt the objection for his reason of the busy day. It didn't make sense for me because he had break times. I could only accept that he's really tired, one thing that melted my heart. Well, I just can't do anything except trying to forgive him. Let him to find the way from his heart for me. Sorry to say, seems that I'm too much chasing him..no more begging :p. Perhaps, it sounds like a selfish part of mine. I just wanna say the truth what I felt from my deepest heart, something that I dislike. Actually, It's not about blaming him because I know that he loves me, doesn't he? Hmm...no no no....God is the only one who knows one's heart. Well...I'm just a human, unfortunately I'm a woman. Fortunately, I'm a woman in love..."

Then, she's looking at me in a calm way for few minutes. It's like that she's trying to say, "It's okay...everything's gonna be alright...".

A Band and Bandung

Tuesday, January 18, 2011 1 Comments
O...o...o...

I met a busy weekend! but I enjoyed it although I felt so tired then.


Saturday, January 15th...
It's the first experience for me to sing in a wedding ceremony, although it's a small one.
I sang two old songs: I Started A Joke (Bee Gees) and Why Do You Love Me (Koes Plus). It was an honour for me that a band of Bogor Botanical Garden allowed me to sing in their performance.
The bad news is I didn't perform excellent but the good thing is I met new persons (most of them were old men :D) so it was really nice.

Sunday, January 16th....
The Driver of the travel car was blowing the horn...it's 3.50 am! Oh my God! I didn't hear the alarm....I was awaked in shock! hahaha...
Without taking a bath, I left the house and just brought a bag with few stuffs. I was on my way to Bandung to visit my best friend, Lina and her family, Dito, the husband and Mare, their cute son.

Arriving at their home, I saw Lina was so busy as a mom, preparing some food in the kitchen. Dito was holding Mare. Nice family.

It was the sunny Sunday. They took me to having lunch in a restaurant called WaLe (Warung Leyla). It was a restaurant with ethnical javanese  athmosphere, trying to bring the hommy sense. The restaurant has some kinds of bakso, mie, and rice in the menu. I ordered Yamie Manis and Susu Kedelai. In my opinion, the Yamie tasted good enough.

After we had finished with the lunch, I went with them to the baby shop and bicycle shop.Lina and Dito wanted to buy a bike for them and one for Mare.I just got a knowledge about the life of young couple with their baby,hehehe.

Well, time went fast. I must be back to bogor at 6.30 pm. Waiting for the travel car for a half and hour, finally it was here so I felt glad after bored for so long.

I was arrived at home, Bogor at 11.30 pm then went to bed..

That's all...my busy nice weekend :)

You and Me (4th Love Song)

Sunday, January 09, 2011 2 Comments
From the first moment you stared at me...
You could show that adorable blue ocean infront of me

From the second time you smiled at me...
You could spread  the happines around me

From the third chance you talked to me
You could whisper the sweetest music inside of me

‘Till the 4th month you touch me...
You have given the gorgeous you for me

It’s you and me...

Aku rindu kamu,
Aku cinta kamu

...4ever...

Yesterday, just like another week, I tried to learn cooking.

We would to make fish because I had already had the fish for the week in the freezer. Another vegetable dish menu was soup, to warm our body :)

So, this is the result of our cooking :

The Fish

Tofu and Water Spinach

Friday, December 17, 2010 4 Comments
It's called tofu...usually it's white but you can also find yellow ones.
This time, water spinach was going to accompany the tofu.
Then both of them were two things that I had last week to be my lunch menu.

So, the tofu would be cooked as "Sweet (Java) Marinated Tofu (Tahu Bacem)".

My cooking result...unfortunately, it's not really sweet enough as the ones that I've tried in Yogyakarta. I think I should try it another time with more palm sugar.
I found an interesting recipe about Tahu Bacem, just check it out:)









I think, I gave too many red chillies,hehhehe.











Look at to this site: http://www.indonesian-culinary.com/recipe/27/120/vegetable/sauteed-water-spinach-_-tumis-kangkung/ , as the source of the recipe that I used to cook the water spinach.
Well, I'm still learning so it's a nice lunch for me. Now, I'm thinking what I will learn this week :).

Lukisan Jiwa

Tuesday, December 07, 2010 14 Comments
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
                   -Albert Einstein-


Suatu sore, saya menerima sebuah pesan singkat di telepon genggam saya. Seorang teman baik menanyakan kabar saya. Kemudian saya menjawab, “Kabarku baik. Kamu apa kabar?:)”.. Lalu dia pun menjawab, “Baik….hanya saja aku merasa sudah saatnya untuk memasuki kehidupan dewasa…Help me!”.

Begitulah awalnya. Pesan singkat tersebut mengingatkan saya akan apa yang saya lakukan selama ini, selalu berusaha tumbuh dan berkembang dalam kehidupan dewasa. Terbayang kembali kecemasan yang saya alami saat memasuki usia 20 tahun…rasanya seperti akan memasuki dunia baru yang mengerikan! Tidak dapat dipungkiri, akhir tahun memang selalu mengingatkan manusia untuk melakukan sebuah intropeksi atas apa yang telah dilakukan setahun yang lalu sehingga bisa menjadi lebih baik di masa mendatang.
   
Pertanyaan selanjutnya, apakah ini wajar terjadi pada seorang wanita 27 tahun?Ah, jangan bohong, pasti Anda semua akan berkata, “Gila! Setua ini belum menemukan jati diri! Kemana saja selama ini?”. Mau tak mau, saya harus mengatakan bahwa fakta berbicara demikian dan saya berpendapat hal ini wajar-wajar saja,hehehe.
    
Kalau boleh saya berkata jujur, saya bukan termasuk dalam kategori manusia bermental baja. Mungkin itulah yang menjadi kendala saya dalam melangkah maju. Saya selalu sulit membuat keputusan dan kurang percaya diri atas segala potensi yang ada dalam diri saya. Namun, dengan berproses dari tahun ke tahun, saya semakin meyakini bahwa saya memiliki kelebihan-kelebihan yang menjadi kekuatan bagi diri saya. 


Melihat, Mengamati, dan Mendengarkan  

Saya merasa mulai berproses untuk tumbuh dan berkembang beberapa tahun yang lalu ketika saya bertemu dengan manusia-manusia yang sekarang menjadi sahabat-sahabat saya. Terima kasih Tuhan atas karunia ini :). Perlahan-lahan, saya bisa merasakan perubahan itu. Jalan cerita hidup saya pun berkembang.

Seolah memasuki sebuah ruangan baru, kami bersama-sama belajar untuk melukis ‘keindahan’ dalam kehidupan ini. Hitam, putih, monokrom, warna-warni pun tergoreskan dalam kanvas kehidupan. Wow! Tanpa disadari, kami berhasil menciptakan lukisan….inilah lukisan jiwa-jiwa kami. Saya pun berhasil menciptakan lukisan jiwa saya, melalui proses melihat ke dalam diri saya dan mengamati lukisan jiwa-jiwa di sekeliling saya.


Nah...inilah lukisan jiwa-jiwa di sekelilingku. 
Setiap orang itu unik!


Ya, itulah salah satu cara saya untuk tumbuh dan berkembang : saya tidak segan-segan untuk mengamati manusia-manusia di sekeliling saya, misalnya bagaimana cara mereka meyikapi segala hal dalam hidup ini. Selain itu, saya juga mencoba untuk mendengarkan mereka. Kemudian, saya mencoba untuk menyerap hal-hal yang bermanfaat, tentu saja bukan berarti saya lalu menjadi orang lain,hehehe. Dengan melihat ke dalam diri saya sendiri, saya tetaplah menjadi diri saya sendiri..

Para sahabat mengajari saya tentang persaudaraan dan kekeluargaan, tentunya selain persahabatan. Dari sinilah, saya bisa ‘kembali’ ke keluarga saya untuk menerapkan nilai-nilai tersebut sehingga saya memiliki cara yang lebih baik dalam berkomunikasi dengan keluarga saya. Saya merasa bisa lebih mengenal keluarga saya, sebagai ayah, ibu, saudara-saudara saya, dan sebagai manusia. Hidup menjadi lebih bermakna. ;)



Dilema Nyata dan Maya

Sudah sejak lama, saya mendambakan untuk menemukan partner hidup saya. Mungkin semakin lama keinginan saya tersebut semakin kuat karena faktor usia dan juga tuntutan dari keluarga,hahaha. Oleh sebab itu, saya pun mulai berusaha untuk membuka diri terhadap lawan jenis,hehehe. Telat banget ya, padahal masa-masa puber sudah lama berlalu :p.

Kehidupan dunia nyata saya hanya berkutat pada dunia kerja dan rumah. Kadang saya kesepian dan salah satu ‘pelarian’ saya adalah dunia maya. Tidak sepenuhnya saya hanya bergaul disini, tapi saya pun bisa menambah wawasan.

Tahun ini, di dunia maya, saya menemukan sebuah lukisan jiwa istimewa yang saya sukai dan membuat saya jatuh cinta. Pasti lagi-lagi Anda memvonis saya gila! Kenyataannya saya memang gila, hehehe. Saya tidak mengerti apakah saya salah langkah, akan tetapi saya merasa bahagia dan ingin tetap memiliki lukisan jiwa yang satu ini. Saya menerima dan menerapkan apa yang sahabat saya katakan, “Jalani saja dengan penuh ketulusan dan doa. Hasil akhirnya, kamu serahkan pada Tuhan…”. Saya mengakui hal ini sangat sulit…bermain secara emosional…tapi tidak ada yang mustahil,hehehe. Jadi, saya masih punya keyakinan untuk memperjuangkan hal yang satu ini. Positif atau negatif ya? Saya memilih positive thinking aja deh;).


Mari berani bermimpi!


Pahit dan Manis

Setahun ini, saya masih terus berjuang untuk meraih kehidupan saya yang lebih baik. Saya menyadari bahwa semua itu harus dimulai dari diri saya. Oleh karena itu, saya tak pernah berhenti untuk selalu bergerak (walaupun saya terlihat diam,hehehe). Saya tak pernah bosan untuk belajar sehingga saya selalu tumbuh dan berkembang.

Berdasarkan pengalaman saya, mengamati sekeliling adalah salah satu cara yang efektif untuk tumbuh dan berkembang. Banyak hal yang bisa saya pelajari dari orang lain. Satu langkah awal untuk melakukan cara ini adalah dengan berani membuka mata dan pikiran serta mau menempatkan ego pribadi secara tepat dan tidak selalu di tempat yang tertinggi. Saya juga tak lupa untuk melihat ke dalam diri saya sendiri sehingga saya tetaplah saya, bukan orang lain.

Hal lain yang akan selalu saya pegang sebagai inti adalah keyakinan. Sebagai makhluk beragama, saya yakin pada Tuhan yang Maha Besar dan segala kuasa-Nya. Dengan keyakinan ini, saya berani mengambil resiko untuk menumbuhkan keyakinan pada diri saya kemudian melukis mimpi-mimpi saya. Walau terlihat maya dan abstrak, tapi tidak mustahil tergapai. Pastinya, saya tidak merugikan orang lain dengan berani bermimpi, hehehe.

Semua itu terasa berat apabila tidak disertai dengan ketulusan, keikhlasan, dan rasa syukur.
Dengan ketulusan, saya merasakan nikmatnya memberi…
Dengan keikhlasan, saya menghayati sebuah kepahitan…
Dengan rasa syukur, saya meresapi bahwa hidup itu memang manis…

Belum…saya memang belum menemukan semuanya. Pastinya saya telah menemukan diri saya sebagai manusia bertahan dan selalu berkata “Never give up!“. Tetaplah tersenyum,  semangat selalu, dan selamat berjuang!;)

One, two, three...
Let's get free
Ours will release you and me
As we want to be

Hold on each other ever after
Share the smile and the tears
Fight the fears
Catch the laughter

As we go on this way
As we are close to see everything
We just can't throw it away
There is none so exciting as this thing
