7 Hal Sepele yang Bikin Wanita Jatuh Cinta

VIVAnews – Hal-hal kecil seringkali bisa menimbulkan dampak besar. Istilah ini seringkali benar dalam hal hubungan asmara. Kebiasaan kecil yang dilakukan pasangan bisa membuat kita merasa dicintai.

Berikut ini aksi sepele yang bisa membuat hati wanita berbunga-bunga, seperti dikutip dari laman She Knows:

– Membawakan barang-barang

Ketika wanita sedang membawa barang-barang yang berat, seperti kantung belanja, dan pria langsung mengajukan bantuan, wanita akan sangat menghargai hal ini.

– Memuji meski Anda mengenakan baju tidur

Minggu pagi, ketika Anda sarapan masih mengenakan baju tidur, suami memuji Anda. Ketika suami berkata, “Kamu tetap terlihat cantik dalam busana apapun”, tentunya bisa membuat hati wanita melambung.

– Memikirkan hal-hal kecil

Ketika gula atau kopi habis, tanpa diminta si dia sudah membelikannya untuk Anda. Ketika si dia ingat hal-hal yang Anda lupa, Anda akan makin cinta padanya.

– Mendengarkan keluhan

Setelah sepanjang hari bekerja, Anda pun ingin mengeluarkan uneg-uneg. Ketika pasangan bersedia mendengarkan keluhan Anda, Anda akan merasa memiliki seseorang yang mengerti Anda tanpa menghakimi.

– Membuatkan teh

Biasanya pria paling suka jika pasangannya menyajikan teh untuknya. Tapi, jika pria sesekali menyediakan teh untuk wanita, dijamin akan membuat wanita tersenyum.

– Menjemput di kantor

Kemacetan di jalan, dan kendaraan umum yang penuh sesak akan menimbulkan stres. Karena itu, wanita akan sangat menghargai pasangannya, jika bersedia menjemputnya.

– Memasakkan makanan favorit

Memberikan kejutan dengan menyediakan masakannya untuk Anda, tentu akan membuat hati Anda ‘melayang’. Sesekali dilayani pasangan membuat wanita merasa sangat dihargai dan dicintai.

I Love “The First”

Safitri Sudarno7 Komentar

Biasanya yang paling bikin deg-degan adalah menghadapi “the first”, hal yang pertama kali dialami. Sebenernya mungkin hanya dikarenakan belum ada pengalaman sebelumnya, makanya sensasinya jadi rada lebay :D.

Aku sempet parno juga waktu menjelang hari pertama OJT. Di tempatin di mana, bosnya siapa, ntar bisa apa nggak, seniornya gimana, dsb. Tapi apapun yang bakal aku hadapi, pastilah yang baik menurut Allah. Jika ada keraguan atasnya, maka sama halnya aku meragukan kapabilitas Allah, tentunya setelah berusaha dan berdoa dulu :).

Hari ini adalah hari kedua di kantor. Hari pertama kemaren berjalan cukup baik. Namanya juga anak baru, musti agresif untuk belajar. Rajin-rajin menghadap pembimbing, asmen, ato senior dan bertanya. Rajin-rajin baca juga *ini sering bikin ngantuk -___-*. Baca selebihnya »

People Of The Box

Safitri Sudarno3 Komentar

In our life, we meet many people and we lost count on it. I’d like to classify people who came and come into my life to several boxes, they are:

  1. Opened box: for those people who want to or will come and are coming into my life. We can say they are new people and I am in a process to know them better and try to figure out things that can be learned from them.
  2. Box that can be opened and closed. This is a special box, because this is for those people who can touch my heart and left their footsteps. So when I am missing them, I can open the box even though we don’t talk for months or years because there are things that bind us called memory.
  3. Closed box. It’s clear that this box is special for them from my past and it will be better if I never take a peep into it, or for them who came slightly and left nothing.

Today is my first day in my new boarding house. After unpacking my stuff and went shopping to buy batik clothes and some-new-anak-kosan-stuff till my calf bunned 😆 (iyah ini vocab buatan sendiri, baca: berkonde). I went back to my room, turned on my laptop and playing some songs.

When you’re alone in your room, it will be easier to open the second type of boxes above more over if the songs that are played are songs that remind you of them. Suddenly, I miss many people from my present-perfect-continuous period. Baca selebihnya »

Padamkan Apinya

Safitri Sudarno6 Komentar

Selama 3 hari ini aku mendapatkan materi HSE (Health and Safety Environment). Dua hari pertama hanya materi di dalam kelas, dan hari ini praktek di lapangan. Prakteknya ngapain? I was being a fire fighter, cooooool :D. Memadamkan mulai dari api kecil dengan menggunakan APAR (Alat Pemadam Api Ringan), itu loh tabung yang warnanya merah itu. Tau kan ya? *maksa*.

Di dalam APAR ini bisa berisi CO2, bubuk kimia atau busa. Kalo mau lebih jelas, silakan tanya pada paman google yang pintar dan baik hati itu ;). Dan sodara-sodara, ternyata adalah pekerjaan yang sulit untuk menjadi seorang fire fighter >.< *yaeyalah*.

Di sini akan aku bagikan beberapa materi yang telah aku dapatkan. Mungkin ketika terjadi kebakaran di sekitar kita *ketok-ketok meja* *amit-amit*, kita bisa segera memadamkannya sebelum apinya semakin merajalela.

Secara teori, api merupakan hasil reaksi kimia yang terjadi dalam keadaan seimbang antara oksigen (O2), fuel (bahan bakar) dan panas (yang dikenal dengan sebutan “segitiga api”). Jika salah satunya tidak terpenuhi, maka api tidak akan tercipta. Jadi, ketika ada api yang harus dilakukan adalah memutuskan relationship terlarang ketiga unsurnya.Secara teori ada 4 cara untuk memadamkan api: cooling, blanketing, smothering dan errrr… emmm.. oke aku lupa satunya *jedotin pala*.

Jadi ya ibu-ibu, mbak-mbak anak kos maupun anak rumahan, banyak kejadian yang berupa kelalaian yang bisa berakibat fatal ketika kita sedang berusaha bersahabat dengan kompor gas adalah waktu kita menyalakan kompor dan kompornya belum menyala juga. Hal yang HARUS *tuh sampe di capslock* dilakukan adalah kembalikan posisi pemutarnya ke kondisi awal biar gasnya tidak menyebar ke mana-mana.

Nah beberapa kebakaran yang muncul (menurut Pak Gunawan, sang instruktur) adalah karena ketika api pada kompor gas belum menyala, posisi pemutar kompor *apaan sih namanya? >.<* tetap dibuka sehingga gas menyebar di ruangan. Dan ketika kompor dinyalakan kembali, maka api akan langsung bereaksi dengan gas yang menyebar tersebut dan membakar ruangan.

Ketika terjadi kebakaran di rumah yang berhubungan dengan kompor gas, hal yang perlu dilakukan adalah:

  1. buka pintu dan jendela agar udara bisa masuk dan mengacaukan komposisi oksigen yang seimbang tadi
  2. jika bisa dan masih memungkinkan, cabut selang regulatornya
  3. matikan listrik.
  4. padamkan apinya dengan menggunakan APAR yang berisi CO2, air atau dengan melakukan blanketing menggunakan selimut basah atau karung goni. Kalo panik, gunakan anduk atau apapunlah yang bisa dipakai untuk menyelimuti api (sumber api) dan dibasahi. Jangan lupa untuk melindungi wajah dengan memegang penyelimut tadi lebih tinggi dari kepala
  5. belum mati juga, teriaklah minta tolong biar dibantuin para tetangga :D.

Lantas pelajaran paling berharga apa yang harus kita perhatikan? Jawabannya adalah: JANGAN BERMAIN API :lol:.

Oh ya, jangan menyepelekan peringatan di SPBU “jangan mengaktifkan handphone ketika sedang mengisi BBM”. Handphone juga merupakan sumber panas, sekedar tau saja. Ketika ada kondisi kondusif yang menyebabkan api muncul dan dipicu oleh hp tadi, maka dalam hitungan detik saja bisa blooooommm, pom bensin berisi ribuan liter BBM loh, inget :). Apinya bisa buat bikin ratusan sapi guling sepertinya :D. Jangan sepelekan hal-hal kecil yang menyangkut keselamatan kita semua.

Gravity

Safitri Sudarno2 Komentar

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I’ll still feel you here ’til the moment I’m gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

Set me free, leave me be. I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.
But you’re on to me and all over me.

You loved me ’cause I’m fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you’re everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you’re neither friend nor foe though I can’t seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down
You’re on to me, on to me, and all over…
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.

Good Things Come To Those Who (Try and) Wait

Safitri Sudarno9 Komentar

As I always do (and I keep trying to do it), for everything that happen to me that are both good and unpleasant, I believe that God want me to learn something instead of grumbling or passing it with nothing.

On previous Saturday, I went to Kwitang with 3 of my friends to look for a boarding house. We left from PLC at 11.30 am and started to walk around Kwitang at 2 pm under drizzle. We kept walking, in and out from one alley and boarding house to another, asking to inhabitant there about boarding house for woman.

Most of the places couldn’t satisfy us. There was a good and clean one but only has a free room, and we need about at least 4 rooms. We came to various type of house. One of them was a mystical house, with old women as the owner, that successful to make me feel like I was entering a different world, and I think if I stayed there every day would become “malam jum’at” day. She has many statuettes inside, old furniture, dark lighting, and I’d like to recommend that place to be a place to take a scene for Indonesian horror movie.

We also visited a mixed boarding house (aka kos campur cuy..), no women exist there but the house keeper, such entered a crocodile cage. Big NO NO for a place to live. I’d rather we walked to find another one and made my calf of leg bigger, than stayed there. So, we took a rest for a while and did our ashar prayer.

It was about 6 pm when we were tired and still hadn’t found a proper place yet, we were near with desperation and decided to go back to PLC because we had to arrive there before 8 pm. In the middle of our way to come back home, Linda, my inmate here, accidentally looked a board with “terima kos wanita” written on it. We knocked on the door, no one came. We tried again, and a house keeper came to us. Finally, we’ve found it, a nice boarding house with nice price and environment^^.

Sometimes it takes long time to meet what we want. But the only thing that we have to believe when we don’t find it, is God always gives what we need. Our life isn’t a fairytale, we won’t get what we want just by praying and soon after we open our eyes everything is served in front of us. Life won’t become interesting if every girl looks like snow white and every man turns as a prince with white horse.

Most of the time when people in trouble or in difficult situation (aka sedang di dalam cobaan), it will be easier for them to remember God than when God gives them tests with wealth and health.

Looking for a proper boarding house is like looking for a partner in life :lol:. Many people are available, but we don’t suddenly choose one just because others have found theirs. We keep waiting, praying, and trying, getting hurt, feeling up and down, until we get the right one which meets our compatibility version. But don’t worry, good things come to those who wait and try. So, while you’re waiting, make your waiting time worth ^^.

Don’t take this post too serious, will ya? 😉

Spouse Candidate or Career?

Safitri Sudarno10 Komentar

Eaaaa, what if you have to choose one of the options? Will you choose spouse candidate or you’ll ignore them because you have assigned contract that isn’t allowed you to marry with your partner in office?

In my current office, there is a point in the contract that one employee can’t marry with other unless one of them resign and if the working period hasn’t reached 5 years yet, the person has to pay 300% of education cost to the company and it takes about 210 million rupiah $_$.

Caused by high intensity of meeting for about 3 months, it can be possible if “love affair” occurs. This case actually happens to my friends ^^. It’s like eating simalakama fruit, if you eat it your mom will die but if you don’t your father will.

It will be better to prevent the thing happen, because it’s like hard options to be chosen. These are some opinions of mine:

  1. Put a clear line and build a wall between friendship and personal life, especially with your opposite friends.
  2. Love can occur because a high intensity of communication and interaction, so beware.
  3. Open yourself in making a new friendship or relationship with new environment.

Before you’re blinded by love and controlled by your feeling, be realistic first and keep thinking over and over about that again. If you’ve already made a decision, no matter what it takes, you should undergo the consequences gracefully and make sure to make it count ;).

Keep smiling ;).
