Kamu

Ini adalah hasil berestafet di minggu pagi bersama Agnes, enjoy ;).

Hanya perlu 43 hari untukku kecanduan merasa rindu padamu, dari hari pertama kedatanganmu bertamu pada hari-hariku. Bukan cuma sulit untuk tidak kugubris, rasa rindu itu melekat seperti bayangan yang memeluk erat. Halusinasi kebodohan dikarenakan oleh “jatuh hati” mulai melanda, aku sering melihat orang yang mirip kamu, dan semua hal yang aku sentuh secara kebetulan berhubungan denganmu, makanan favoritemu, buku favoritemu, warna favoritemu, mutlak sudah aku terjerat…pada kamu; pria pendiam pemilik senyuman rupawan.

Berlebihankah jika aku mentahtakanmu as my living caffeine? Well aku bukan pecandu kopi, but yess aku mencandu dirimu. Serupa mereka semua pecinta kopi yang merasa harinya tidak lengkap tanpa kehadiran kopi kesayangan berikut caffeine di dalamnya. Hari mereka sempurna saat sudah menyesap secangkir kopi nikmat dan hariku sempurna saat kamu menyapa.

Kamu adalah coklat yang bisa mengembalikan moodku yang rusak ke garis edarnya semula. Bagaimana bisa kamu melakukannya dengan nyaris sempurna, padahal kita hanya bertatap mata tiga kali jika aku tidak salah menghitungnya? Bagaimana bisa kamu membuat kurva bibirku membentuk senyuman dari balik layar laptopku padahal kita berjarak dan jarang bertemu?

Aku berusaha mencari tahu “apa”, “kenapa” dan berujung pada pertanyaan “lalu bagaimana”. Jujur aku menikmatinya. Setelah sekian lama tidak menikmati sensasi seperti ini dan bahkan sudah mengubur jauh – jauh harapan untuk menikmatinya lagi malah dirimu datang, sepaket dengan tatapan ramah dan pribadi yang menyenangkan. Lagi – lagi aku tersenyum.

Masih ingatkah kamu ketika kita menghabiskan malam melewati jalanan kota? Kamu layaknya bintang yang bersinar paling terang pada malam itu, bahkan cahaya dari lampu jalan terasa seperti pelengkap sinar auramu yang memang sudah terlalu terang di mataku. Aku hanya bisa tersenyum setuju. Aku ingin waktu berhenti saat itu. Hanya kamu, aku, dan jalanan itu.

Jika cinta memang tidak pernah mengetuk pada pintu yang salah, bolehkah aku berharap bahwa kali ini pintu itu akan terbuka? Aku berharap kali ini ketukan di pintu hatiku adalah cinta yang sebenarnya.

Sesungguhnya aku hampir lupa apakah kamu mengetuk dulu atau malah kamu masuk begitu saja tanpa permisi? Rasanya semua tidak terasa penting lagi, kehadiranmu tak pernah kusesali.


Mirror

What is the importance of a mirror? So I can see myself clearer.

Finally, after had a hard time lately, I decided to make peace with myself. I spent my time and my energy to do some exercises in my office’s exercise center. I keep thinking.

I saw bad things that I have in people, and those things make me scare to realize that I am an awful person, a bad friend, person who hurt others intentionally or not, and humbly I’d like to say sorry for my absence. Really sorry for things that I’ve done and maybe put scars in your feeling. I am human, but I want to learn.

If people did things that hurt us deep down inside, by purposes or not, like what I said on my previous post “ambil manfaatnya, ambil manfaatnya, ambil manfaatnya”, take the lessons. From them we know that we shouldn’t do the same to others, don’t bite people who bite us because if we do it, apple to apple, we don’t have any differences with them.Baca selebihnya »

About Attending A Wedding Party

Someone asked me, why I didn’t come to someone’s wedding party. And by chance, both of this people came from my past (the one who asked me and the one who had a wed party).

It was so funny when he mentioned about broken heart as a reason I didn’t come to the party.

Dear sweetheart, when I say “past is past” it means I really put the things in my 3rd box. And I am not kind of person who think that marriage is everything even though it is an important thing for me. That’s why I am glad we’re not meant to be *evil laugh*.

I never put my legs in a handcuff because I have things to achieve, dreams to be reached. I need them to run fast and not stuck in a mysterious thing such fate.

So, can I “make people happy when they see me happy and for those who aren’t, I am humbly say sorry”?.

No need to worry bout my success, I am working on it ;). But thanks for your kind attention. And please, live in peace :lol:.

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”

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

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 »

Gravity

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

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?

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 ;).

Commitment Costs Things

Sejak awal tes untuk bergabung dengan program BPS, sepertinya kami para peserta telah dipersiapkan secara mental untuk “siap sedia” jika ada pengumuman dan penugasan mendadak. Dari serangkaian tes yang harus dijalani, pengumuman untuk menghadiri tes selanjutnya diberitahukan sehari atau dua hari sebelumnya. Jadi sebagian besar tidak ada persiapan yang mencukupi untuk menghadapi tes-tes tersebut.

Yang lebih ekstrim adalah antara pengumuman penerimaan dan jangka waktu untuk mulai masuk ke tempat pendidikan (Pertamina Learning Center) hanya berjarak 2 hari kerja. Seingetku, aku ditelpon hari kamis sore jam 3, dan hari selasa sudah mulai registrasi dan masuk di PLC. Adalah suatu keajaiban peristiwa resignku kemarin, karena hanya perlu waktu 2 hari dan 1 sore yay \(^0^)/. It was a miracle ;).

I have been here for about 3 months, and I am really glad and feel blissful for taking this chance. I meet many people, learn and get many new things 😀 *koper jadi beranak*. Aku juga belajar packing dan unpacking dengan sigap hohoho, karena beberapa kali harus pindah lokasi -__-.

Berdasarkan pengalaman-pengalaman para senior yang mengisi materi classroom dapat disimpulkan bahwa there’s no certainty here but uncertainty. Kontrak yang berbunyi “bersedia di tempatkan di seluruh Indonesia” yang telah ditandatangani, rupanya bisa kapan saja menagih janji ^^. Ada yang pindah tiga, empat, sampai lima kota penugasan selama masa kerjanya.

Sebenarnya sekarang juga udah mulai muncul berbagai macam pikiran tentang “gimana”; gimana ntar kalo ntar pas udah berkeluarga trus ada penugasan di daerah dan harus stay di sana sampe entah berapa lama, gimana kalo suami kerja di kota yang berbeda, trus sekolah anak dan blablabla lainnya. Kalo masih lajang sih gada tanggungan seperti yang dimiliki yang berkeluarga ^^V.

Sepertinya kemungkinan-kemungkinan seperti itu yang telah dipersiapkan pertamina dari awal kepada (calon) pekerjanya; pengumuman mendadak, skill packing dan unpacking, beradaptasi dan mengendalikan kondisi :lol:. Yah mungkin inilah yang dinamakan commitment, ketika kita dihadapkan pada pilihan akan tanggung jawab yang sama beratnya tapi masih harus bisa memilih secara professional *aku ngetik apaan si daritadi*.

Commitment definitely costs things, bisa berupa jauh dari keluarga, jauh dari kampung halaman, menunda rencana pendidikan, continuous adaptation and learning, membatalkan plan yang udah dibuat sebelumnya, materi apalagi bagi yang udah berkeluarga dan terpisah lokasi (biaya komunikasi dan tiket pesawat :D), LDR kalo pacarnya jauh :lol:, tidak mendapatkan fasilitas seperti yang disediakan Jakarta (kalo ditempatkan di luar kota atau luar Jawa), tiket ke Singapur yang hangus *nangis gulung-gulung*, kebebasan (hanya bisa keluar hari Sabtu setelah ujian dan hari Minggu selama di PLC), dan lain-lain. But, we can make it count ;). Mari berbakti pada negeri *tsaaah*.

But still, I am grateful because sometimes our life is other’s dream. -Safitri-
