Last night I just can’t sleep early… after
finish my works, I just remember that I wanna do something. That is writing!

 

Hmm… udah lama banget aku gax nulis, I mean
selain nulis skripsi dan nulis2 hal2 standard yang lain. Sebenernya aku pengin
banget bisa punya … nulis & publish my own books. Tapi kayaknya untuk
saat ini masih sekedar impian di dunia mimpi dech J. Yeah, maybe someday I can make it. I have
written some (yang sebagian besar masih teronggok rapi di gudang ide @my
computer). Let me see what I have there on my writing database… Di situ ada
beberapa artikel tulisan lepas, ada 1 novel yang belom tamat, sedikit lirik2
lagu yang pernah aku bikin (yang selain ada di gudang ide @my PC, juga
tersebar di notes dan di Hp aq), cerita2 kehidupan beserta curahan kritik dan
saran terhadap dunia di diary berformat word, dan ada banyak puisi.

 

Well, sebagai anak linguistik yang masih
berjuang untuk mengesahkan kevalidan label linguistiknya, aku tidak terlalu bisa
over productive dalam “mentransfer” berbagai files ide ke dalam wujud bahasa.

Tapi I’m enjoying to produce writing stuffs.
Simply, I just do it when I really have time and have the “feeling”.

Writing is fun, simpler than speaking,
sometimes. On writing we can express our feeling more in narrative way, bahkan
kalo mau bisa di+ unsur descriptive unique lewat beragam images… eh yang ini
cuman salah satu teori aku aja sech, ngarang banget yah? hehehe.

 

Have I told you, that among my writings, the
biggest amount refers to poetry?

Poetry or poem… in Indonesian language known
as “Puisi”…

Puisi aku bukan puisi yang unik sok menarik,
tapi bukan pula yang pasaran, mungkin lebih tepat kalo dibilang puisi yang
bercirikan KariNisme. KariNisme itu salah satu aliran gax jelas yang terdapat
dalam unsur tata kehidupan aku (baca KariN)… lebih dari 50% unsur dalam aliran
tersebut terdiri dari element Ae (baca aneh).. hehehe.

Puisi yang aku bikin biasanya tidak jauh
dari “tontonan” aku di dunia. Dari mulai soal makanan, perasaan, sampe intrik2
kehidupan tingkat tinggi aku coba cover via puisi. Bahasa yang coba aku pakai
juga lumayan beragam, dari my mother tongue (Bhs Indonesia), English, Spanish, sedikit Bhs Prancis dan
Japanese. Sebenernya aku pengin banget bikin puisi dalam bahasa Jawa, tapi
masih blom kesampean karena aku belom punya ide yang bisa aku konsultasikan
sama sang Eyang aku… but I will have to do it, someday. Absolutely!

 

Akhirnya, aku memberanikan diri untuk
“mempublish” salah satu tulisan aku. Sebelomnya ada beberapa teman yang minta
& mo coba baca2 tulisan aku, tapi mereka gax ada yang aku kasih, abis aku
belom berani. It just.. I just feel I can’t… Tp, thanks to Vanessa Mae’s song
“Bach Street Prelude” (that’s one
of my fav. Classic songs now), aku jadi tergugah untuk naruh salah satu karya
aliran KariNisme aku. At least, some people maybe would be very kind to share
their time to read it and then perhaps to give some comments for helping me
out.

 

‘BeaUtifuL sTupidiTY’ tells us about … ?

Just (try to) figure it by yourself J

[Nov 23/ /2006]

 

Sometimes,
people speak non-sense…

Human
just do stupid things, in other times…

X
& Y, male and females, animal gather with plants…

In
the world, we just stuck with some of our human plans.

 

Lights
will guide me home.

Which
home?…

What
light?…

Don’t
worry, lights will always guide me home…

I
will go by lights in my heart home.

 

Beauty
is on the eyes of beholder…

Stupidity
is on the hands of actor…

Beautiful
stupidity is on the taste of nonfigurative feelings…

 

With
our human plans and with our light in our heart home…

We
would smile and cry when we take them away.

 

Beautiful…

Stupid…

My
naive beautiful stupidity is keeping me alive.

*Aneh itu tidak biasa, Aneh itu tidak
berarti jelek, bukan juga berarti bagus… apalagi berarti keren. Tapi aneh itu
lebih berarti lagi bila itu mampu menstimulan kita untuk menciptakan “KeAnehan”
yang bermutu tapi tidak wagu.

!Being different as much as being unique and
productive!

 

5 Ways to Develop Friendships That Really Count
(taken from Cindy Shaw’s)

Friend is such a powerful word that holds so many different meanings:
confidant, collaborator, instigator, and the person who helps carry you through
difficult experiences and celebrates and enriches the good ones.

As
said by Emily Dickinson, “My friends are my estate.”

How
then do we develop friendships that nurture our spirit and enrich our lives?

By
following these 5 guidelines you can begin developing friendships that will
uplift and inspire you.

1) Be Open Minded
One of the keys to developing a close friendship with someone is to be
accepting of the other person by making an effort to understand where they are
coming from. Since we each have a different set of beliefs and values and live
life in our own unique way, we can always learn something of value from our
friends.

Being
open minded requires that we drop our judgements in favor of understanding.
Although you may not agree with someone or their point of view, you can always
make an effort to understand them.

2) Be a Good Listener
This is a skill few people have developed well. One thing we all need to
remember is that we have two ears that were meant for listening. Too often we
are too busy talking or thinking up our response, that we don’t truly listen to
what someone else is really saying.

When
we actively listen to someone else, we make that person feel important and
special – two ingredients to maintaining a healthy friendship.

3) Be Trustworthy
Trust is a key ingredient to any strong and healthy relationship. When we keep
confidences, are impeccable with our word and walk our talk, we send others the
message that we are reliable, dependable and ultimately trustworthy.

Speak
with integrity and only say what you mean. Avoid gossip or talking about others
and always do what you say. Taking these actions will speak loudly to others
that you are a trustworthy and responsible friend.

4) Be Yourself
One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and others is you – the
authentic YOU. There is only one of you in this world, complete with your own
gifts, talents and treasures. Your uniqueness is what makes you special and
what others will seek out.

When
you are honest with yourself, you can be honest with others. By being authentic,
you will show your friends that you are not afraid to be who you are and in
part will give them permission to be fully who they are.

5) Set Limits
As with anything in life, it is important to set limits as to what you will and
will not accept in your life. This may mean ending a negative conversation with
a friend or saying ‘no.’ Ultimately, setting limits is an act of self-respect.

When
you set limits with friends, you are sending a loud message that you will not
tolerate things that are not aligned with your life or your spirit. By openly
respecting yourself, others will gain a deeper respect for you.

Well, FYI, being a friend… getting more friends…or likely have a SimPLe FrieND & FrieNdshIp.. is just not being simPLE. Yeah, i meaN things wrItteN bY Shaw mungkIN bs dijadiin "enLighmenT" dikiT kaLI Yah…. To be HonesT, aku juGa bLOm bs sepeNUhnYa "Jadi" that gOod in deveLoping friendshIp. Tp, i guess, the PoinT is… "Be there whEn mY frieNDs neeD me, esp. iN a nOt verY gOod situatiOn!".. Hmm, that’s what frieNds r 4… TrueLY..
