like a butterfly

slowly waking up from thefantasy of a dream. my hand searches in vainfor the dream to be a reality
dreams are like a flower only when they bloom,we realize how wonderful it can be!or how horrible its going to be!
i sit upon a dream. patiently waiting for it to bloom. nurtured it for a long time,with all things good!
time, i have spent!love, i have given lots of!hope, i have infused into it!confidence, i have plenty of it!
from a cocoon that i built around myself. i changed into a beautiful little butterfly. waiting to soar into the light of the day. taking my dream along with me!
perched on the flower that is now my dream,i wait for it to bloom. to seal my fate – life or death!



notes:
The life cycle is a butterfly is normally 2 – 4 weeks. Likewise, dreams dont last a lifetime.Before we know it, the dream is long dead!and sometimes(almost all the time) so are we!

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever. ~Carl Sagan
A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly – Andre Gide
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. – Nathaniel Hawthorne

dari mencari :'last'

dia pastinya mengerti.
aku selalu sakit perut setiap ingat hanya dengan dia aku bisa bicara lama,melontarkan ide aneh,pemikiran gila dari hal hal yg sebetulnya sangat biasa. padahal aku tidak terima dibilang aneh. aku hanya melihat suatu subjek lebih dalam lagi, dengan perspektif yang tidak biasa. kadang,suatu istimewa terlihat dari definisi yg terbalik dari suatu hal sederhana.

aku jadi ingat.

aku mempunyai sebuah gelang yang terangkai dari banyak mutiara warna warni seperti pelangi. tapi tiba-tiba satu mutiara itu hilang. dan ya,aku panik. aku mulai mencari sepenjuru ruangan, tapi karena mutiara itu kecil dan efek mata ku yang agak bermasalah dalam melihat suatu objek mini akhirnya aku memutuskan mencari dengan menggunakan kaca pembesar yg kutemukan dikamar ibuku.

tapi ternyata mutiara itu tetap saja hilang.

semenjak itu aku mulai sering menggunakankaca pembesar itu dimana saja. kapan saja. bukan,aku bukan menggunakannya untuk mencari mutiaraku yg hilang. tp aku ingin melihat dunia dengan kaca pembesar itu.
dan diam diam,tanpa aku sadari aku berharap akan ada yg melihatju dengan cara yg sama. tapi tentu saja berulang kali aku kecewa. sepertinya sulit menemukannya. kadang tingginya ekpektasi menghancurkan segalanya,bahkan membuat sekujur tubuhku nyeri. tapi lalu apa? berhenti?tidak mencoba dan mencari lagi?berdiam dan menyerah? untungnya, airmata ku selalu bisa kusuruh untuk berhenti. dan aku terus berjalan lagi.

mencari.

dan akhirnya bertemulah aku dengannya. di suatu tempat yang seharusnya normal normal saja. tidak ada yg istimewa. 3 menit pertama dia memicingkan mata menatapku. dan akupun membalas mengernyitkan dahi menatapnya.
lalu aku mengeluarkan kaca pembesarku..
perlahan dahiku tidak lagi berkerut.
kaca pembesarku tepat sampai didepan wajahnya. dan ternyata dia juga tidak lagi memicingkan mata.
dia tersenyum lembut, sangat lembut.
kaca pembesarku sampai ditangannya,dan aku mengerti apa arti senyumnya. senyum itu untuk apa.
jemarinya sedang menggenggam kaca pembesar juga.
melihat mutiara biasa menjadi sangat istimewa karena tidak bisa dilihat kapan saja.

...in me.

semoga kamu baik baik saja hai jiwa yang istimewa. semoga kamu dan aku baik saja sampai kita berdua tiba di tempat seharusnya. -meskipun agak lama-

dan Tuhan, terima kasih untuk mereka,terimakasih untuk perjalanan,petualangan,dan pengalaman yang luar biasa indahnya. terima kasih untuk semua. terima kasih untuk selalu ada.



aku menyayangimu sebanyak yang aku bisa

i have just had a late night chat on ym with my bestiest..and finally i told her about something which disturbing me nowadays..and this is what she replied..

istigittu_mcr: gw ngerti kok mksd lo
istigittu_mcr: prgulatan batin ama ati lo uda tingkat tinggi bgt y gis
istigittu_mcr: kdg gw mkir
istigittu_mcr: lo tu jgn2 suffered pleasure
istigittu_mcr: sesuatu yg bkin lo skit mlh tambah bwt lo brthan kuat2
istigittu_mcr: tp sesuatu yg sbnrnya bs bgitu mudah mlh bkin lo gamang
istigittu_mcr: hehe sotoy gw
istigittu_mcr: lo rewind aja idup lo d coba,hehe

waw..her thougt was surprisingly considering me. apakah gw punya suatu pemahaman akan sesuatu yg berat akan hidup. *dmana gw udah sering bgt ngalamin itu* dan dibawah alam sadar gw,gw menikmati sesuatu hal yang menyakitkan karena itu membuat gw bisa lebih struggle berjuang, dibanding mendapatkan sesuatu hal indah yang tidak membutuhkan effort sama skali yang akhirnya membuat gw berpikir: am i deserve to accept that?

rraaar. sometimes i regret why i should become a person who love thinking too much!

i should love you like a lover do

setelah semua yg telah gw alamin gw merasa gw udah satu step lebih mature dalam menanggapi sebuah hubungan personal yang menyangkut hati.
ya,tadinya gw berpikir (dan yakin) akan hal itu.
tapi ternyata tidak. ekspektasi gw akan diri gw yang terlalu tinggi gak sejalan sama kenyataannya.
sulit bgt buat gw untuk mendeskripsikan rasa sayang,mengelola rasa itu,dan memeliharanya dengan tidak terlau kuat. kadang gw menggenggamnya terlalu keras tapi diwaktu yg sama gw lupa gw lagi menggenggam hal itu.
ngerti gak?yaaa gw juga sendiri bingung.

gak tau harus bingung..
atau takut?

culinary adventure!

what a day! today was really great. me and my bestiest decided to do a culinary adventure, but this one special for traditional culinary. finally we went to mayestik (blok m). it needs a big struggle for get there. as you know, me and my bestiest havent a good sense of taking direction. so,when we tried to go to mayestik..we lost in arteri pondok indah. how silly!


and after we arrived,the first one we want to buy was: kue rangi. this is come from betawi and made from sago palm, java's sugar (gula jawa xp), and rice flour. how is the taste?simply delicious. it combined 2kinds of taste : salty and sweety. usually the price is arounf 1000-3000 rupiah. but today we were lied by the seller,and he gave us Rp.5000 per piece.huhu. *stingy mode:on*




then,we bought kue ape. thi is my favourite one since i was kid. i love the shape and its colour which i think very unique (gee,am i too dramatic?). because of this shape,many people called it as 'kue tetek' (well i think i dont have to explain why yaa.hihi) . the taste is really great. the middle part of this cake is very flabby,but the other part is very crunchy. this is made from wheat,sugar,and suji's leaf (that's why this cake has a green colour). it cost rp.500 per piece. how cheap!!


and last we had our lunch by eating: soto mie. soto mie is a mix from risol,mie,tetelan (auch),potato, and tomato. it cost Rp.7000 per bowl. it is really GREAT although the seller use 2 spoons of ajinomoto in there. hell no!!!! hey baaangg,do you know the effect by using too much ajinomoto??it can decrease our inteligent anyway. but who cares? the taste is damn delicious ;).
WE ARE REALLY FULL! and all cost less than rp.30.000. and i started to think, today was absolutely fun..rather than i just hanging out at pacific place. eating pancious, sour sally as it dessert. in mayestik we felt we are really just an ordinary citizen in jakarta who love to eat.
we are able to see many activities,faces,behaviour of many people who coloured jakarta beautifully :)

milliom of expectation

it's the time,i step forward to go. million of hope and expectation join in. although somehow, something called 'tired' come close to me. i am asking to life,is there any happiness which i missed out there and it welcoming me?

and you suddenly fall silent,let me pass it by. without any direction,trace the time. yeah,you still stay in your silent, observing me intently, without mercy-without heart. but i remember the face who take me home.

it's the time,i have to come back. follow the dark way to go home. without a friend, revert to loneliness. i am asking to my self: 'have i got the answer?'. 'yes,maybe later',then i answered.
yes,motionless. you are!. seeing me walking,injured,face the time.. you keep in silent,observing me..i grow distant..far away.

but i remember the face who take me home.
now i know the answer.
i want to go home, with that face..

my mother taught me..


My mother taught me all the good things about life
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me all the bad
My mother taught me how to listen when people talk
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me to make them listen
My mother taught me to read, write and draw
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me to paint
My mother taught me proper table manners
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me to use my hands
My mother taught me how to sew
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me to rip it and throw
My mother taught me how to thank you
I sometimes wonder why she never taught to say: yea okay whatever
My mother taught me to wear long skirts
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me about those minis
My mother taught me about getting along with girls
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me about being wary of boys
My mother taught me to always smile
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me to hold back a tear
My mother taught me how to move on in life
I sometimes wonder why she never taught me how to cherish fond memories

and finally i do really understand that she always teachs me of a train, which full of love,joy,giving,grateful,and dreaming.
can i say any words except : 'i love you mam' ?
