Sprinkler Accident

-
Somebody aimed the sprinkler at my open windows right beside my bed (on which i store all my art stuff). The water hits perfectly at my 2 layered windows, and therefore sending all the water into my room, wetting all the art paper. i was forced to do some quick thinking - took a plastic bag that was once a storage for sencond hand paintbrushes, make that as an emergency "water basin". close the 2nd layer window, making sure the water basin is working its magic, i went out and re-set the sprinkler.

it was 2.12 at night, and thanks to the sprinkler, i jammed my middle finger at the window. first thing i said was "what the heck?", that means; no curses! yay! time to clean up after the mess and put some healing kiss to my magic finger. yea, the finger that said the magic word very, very rarely.


items trashed:
1 stash of paper
6 sheets of kitchen napkins (used economically)
almost a portfolio (hoping those babies are drying up safely)

Awal tahun kemarin aku jatuh hati dengan seseorang dan hari ini aku mempertanyakan apakah lebih baik berteman aja dengan pria ini. Lucu ya, betapa cepatnya hati ini bisa berubah. Di satu sisi aku lega logika ku sudah kembali mencuat, naik ke permukaan laut endorfin yang perlahan surut. Realitasnya, pasang yang surut menunjukkan kotornya pantai hatiku. Banyak sisa-sisa sampah dari masa lalu; ngerasa nggak layak dapet perhatian, takut ditinggal, takut ditolak, takut disakiti. Hal-hal yang ku kira sudah ku buang jauh-jauh. Ternyata membuang ide dari pikiran dengan menghancurkan ide itu berbeda. Selama 2 minggu aku bersihin sampah-sampah ini. Aku ganti ketakutan ku dengan kata-kata Tuhan yang menyatakan aku berharga di matanya, mulia bahkan (yesaya 43:4). Aku terima kata-kataNya yang bilang "Aku mengasihi engkau dengan kasih yang kekal" kalau di bahasa inggrisnya "I have loved you with an everlasting love". Sudah terjadi, sudah ku alami, dan akan selalu Ia tunjukkan pad...

The crack that leads to the break

-
There are many little heart cracks that leads to a break up. It's hardly ever about 1 big thing -- though sometimes it could stem from the same root cause creating an obvious pattern of behavior -- but I digress. One of the first instances of my heart 'crack' was when I shared how important is knowing, feeling, and processing emotions for me.  I'm the stereotypical eldest daughter who felt like it was her responsibility to hold the family down. There was a number of emotional turmoils that were happening when I grew up -- things that feels humungous for a kid to process on her own. But my parents were both working and I saw how tired they would be even on the weekends. I didn't want to add to the stress, so I kept things as steady as possible. My interests were positively channeled, my academic challenges tackled, my energy were well-spent. Soon enough my 10 year old schedule was just as packed as my parents'. Emotions were at the back of my mind. Productivity a...

Ngak perlu di baca. Cuma mau keluarin unek2 doang.

saya ngak ngerti. saya ngak ngerti kenapa bisa ada orang yg bener2 suka sama satu hal (dan beberapa hal yang lain, tapi intinya dia fokus sama hal2 itu) dan bisa telaten bener ngejalaninnya setiap hari. kadang2 saya jadi bingung berpikir, sebenernya saya tuh bisa ngapain sih? disatu sisi saya pengen keren dan menjunjung harga diri berkata "ya, gua jago semuanya, bisa dong." Ngak juga sih, saya ngak jago sampe bisa bikin orang laen nyembah2 saya. saya biasa aja. saya bisa semuanya, tapi saya biasa aja di semuanya. which means, bisanya saya tuh omong kosong. Maksud saya ngomong tentang 'fokus sama satu hal' and actually being real good at it, it's in a sense that you're willing to do that for the rest of your life. I have no frickin idea of that! Sedihnya, dalam waktu satu setengah tahun saya bakalan lulus dari kuliah, yang sekarang saya anggap sebagai 'sangkar emas' saya. comfort. setelah keluar dari bangku sekolah, saya mau ngapain juga saya ngak tau....
