Survival mode

I used to fall, it feels good. Everything seems so bright and wonderful. I’m working in a full potential, I laugh so loud, and smile to the stranger I met. I’m the best of me. I hope this is the last time I fall and will open the new chapter of my life. I don’t know why I feel that way, let say, I just don’t believe in coincidents. I have faith in everything happens around me.

But when everything turns out differently, I feel getting shot at the chest. I thought I was made by the steel. I was wrong, it was hurt a million times. Thing doesn’t always ends up in the way we dream, does it?

It was a difficult time for me. Like glasses broke into a billion pieces and I need to collect every piece of it. Lucky, I’m not alone. Friends in need is a friend indeed. Some friends help me to heal. To accelerate the healing process, taking a luxury time of being alone was also a good choice.

As a reminder on how to handle this kind of situation (of course, I don’t want this awkward situation would happen again. God Forbid!). I would like to make a list.

  1. Movie
  2. When there is a spare time to kill, I usually go to the nearest cinema. There is no special genre in my list. I watch every movie that gets my attention. If I may choose, Heroic, romance and revenge kind of movies will be at the top of the list.

  3. Shopping
  4. It’s time to upgrade your style. Getting some clothes to wear, some shoes to use or just window-shopper. This is my first time spend a lot of bucks on it. Andi and I bring a dozen of plastic bags to home. It was a good time. Now I know why ladies spend a lot of time and money (of course) on this kind of “hobby”.

  5. Fitness
  6. I don’t do sport for a long time. When in a college, I used to go to the nearest gym around my campus or jogging in Senayan. I think it’s a good time to do it again. Mensana in corpore sano. If you do fitness in the same club with me, let me know. Maybe we can arrange some time to burn the fat together, hehehe…

  7. Working
  8. My friend said, the best way to forget something is to get busy with another thing you love. If you love gaming, play it all day long. I take her advice, I spend most of my time with working. I know..I know, why spend it in work? Yeah, work sucks…But, what can I say my whole time already full of it. I try to enjoy it. It works!

  9. Blogging
  10. There is no statistical or medical prove about blogging can gives you positive energy. But when I press the publish button, I feel good. Like unleashing the power idea within you. It gives more good energy.

  11. Clubbing
  12. Hahaha..I don’t know whether it’s a sin or not. We are having a crazy-wild night together.

———

I ‘m recovered now without a flaw. I’m better than I was before. At hard time, I don’t do the sin-kind-of-things like smoke, alcohol, drugs or worse. The bullet almost kills me, it takes month to heal but I’m proud of it. Sometimes, whatever doesn’t kill you (have to) make you stranger.

Don’t sad because it’s over, smile because it happened.

You are beautiful

A: Ky, ingat ga cewek yang kita kenalan waktu di club kemarin?
RK: Iye. mang napa?
A: Masa dia bilang klo gue ga cocok dugem karena ga ada muka bandel. Dibilangin jadi anak maniz aja lagi, biar tar dapat yang baik aja.
RK: *menahan untuk tidak ketawa*

Bukan bermaksud untuk menggurui, tapi ada petikan ayat yang pernah di forward ama teman gue:
“Wanita-wanita yang buruk adalah untuk laki-laki yang buruk, dan laki-laki yang buruk adalah buat wanita-wanita yang buruk (pula), dan wanita-wanita yang baik adalah untuk laki-laki yang baik dan laki-laki yang baik adalah untuk wanita-wanita yang baik (pula)”. (An Nuur : 26) Bila ingin mendapatkan jodoh yang baik, maka perbaikilah diri. Hiduplah sesuai ajaran Islam dan Sunnah Nabi-Nya. Jadilah laki-laki yang sholeh, jadilah wanita yang sholehah.

Emangnya baik itu gimana, buruk itu gimana?
Apakah yang rajin ke majlis taklim tapi tetap suka nggosipin orang?
Apakah wanita yang merokok itu selalu diasosiakan dengan hal-hal negatif?

Sebelum menutup postingan,
Sebenarnya apakah kita berhak memberi label baik dan buruk hanya karena kita bergaul di tempat dan lingkungan yang salah?

begitu mudahnya kita memberi label pada orang lain.

about blogging

For me, blogging is to share ideas and as a personal journal.

Perhaps, you or the rest of us have different reasons to blog. Some of us blog for branding, getting money by placing some ads, giving tips or just spit-out-the-words in your head.

Some bloggers care about statistics of their visitor, some others don’t. I never looked into kind of statistic-chart of my visitor.

As a personal journal, I blog because I want to keep a track of my lif. Have you ever read your old-previous post and smile because you remember the old days that you area so weak, make some stupid move, so passionate about something, or post some quotes reflects you that day. A “Kodak Moment” of a life.

Indeed, I love comments from my readers. For that, I appreciate it. I know it tooks effort to read and even to give comment about it. But, that is not the basic reason I write something.

It’s so irrelevant that we judge someone by his post. Can you define someone in his/her entire life by looking his/her photo? If you a psychic or have some jedi ability, may be you can do it. As same as blog, you can’t judge the blogger behind it because of his/her post.

I used to called my blog as a fortress of solitude. Where I can enjoy a luxury of being my-self.

I have some role-model or idea-source in blogosphere. One of them is Jenny. She is an Indonesian writer who lives in a America. I share the same passion with her about blogging. That we can create value for someone else using simple tool called “words”. Words can change people, and even can change the world.

If you like her writing, you can submit her RSS into your favorite feedreader (I use FeedDemon) or submit via email in here.
