NO Need A Reason?
Does Love Need A Reason?
Some people never understand, once a lady having a conversation with her lover, she asked:
Lady: Why do you like me? Why do you love me?
Man: I can’t tell the reason, but I really like you.
Lady: You can’t even tell me the reason, how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?
Man: I really don’t know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.
Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend’s boyfriend can tell her why he loves her, but not you!
Man: Ok, Ok! Emm…because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, and because of your every movements.
The lady felt very satisfied with the man’s answer. Unfortunately, a few days later, the lady met with an accident and went in comma. The Guy then placed a letter by her side, here is the content:
Darling, because of your sweet voice that I love you, now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that I like you, now that you cannot show them. Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love you, now can you smile? now can you move? No! Therefore I cannot love you. If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore. Does love need a reason? NO! Therefore, I still love you.

Capek, deh!
Saya capek dan penat dengan 'benang ruwet' ini. Mekanisme yang 'mematikan' dan tidak efektif. Sistem (top-down) sangat mengungkung dan membatasi ruang gerak, bahkan membuat saya 'mati gaya'. Tapi apalah daya, saya tidak bisa berkutik. Yang mempunyai kekuasaan, yang berwenang memutuskan. "Tapi saya juga terlibat,"saya memrotes dalam hati. "Saya yang mengawal prosesnya. Saya juga yang menjalin hubungan baik dengan mereka. Jadi, saya lebih tahu detailnya. " Lebih lanjut hanya bisa menggaungkan ini dalam otak, hati, serta tulisan ini.
Kalau begini terus, saya agak pesimis dengan ambisi besar yang selalu digembar-gemborkan. Toh, apalah gunanya gembar-gembor, kalau kita tidak menyadari kesalahan dalam diri kita. Kadang, saya merasa ingin merombak sistem yang ada. Bersama yang lain, saya mencoba menyuarakan ini. Tapi saya belum mempunyai cukup kekuatan untuk merenovasi benteng sistem yang ada. Benteng ini terlalu besar untuk dirombak. Celakanya, saya juga menjadi elemen penyokong ('cakar ayam') struktur benteng ini. Terlalu riskan untuk dirobak, namun tidak cukup kuat untuk menghempas tsunami kompetisi kancah 'interlokal'.
Saya tidak mau mencolek hidung tertuduh. Namun, dalam hati, saya menyalahkan satu primus interpares ini. Saya ingin semua ditangani secara cepat, tepat, serius, efektif, teliti, dan memuaskan. Saya mendambakkan kinerja yang profesional, integratif, sinergis, dan kontributif. Seperti yang selalu di-hymne-kan. Tapi, entah mengapa saya melihat prospeknya masih buram, dan berjalan agak tersendat. Indonesia masih belajar bertatih. Padahal negara-negara lain sudah berlari kencang.
Saya kebetulan kemarin bertandang ke kandang Gajah Putih. Di atas kita, tidak jauh. Saya pun melihat, mengalami, kemudian membandingkan. Dan dengan berat hati, saya harus mengakui bahwa kita masih ketinggalan. Jangan pernah meremehkan, teman kita di atas itu. Mereka terlihat profesional, tertata dan 'rapi' dalam bermain. Yang paling saya salut adalah mereka selalu gesit dan memberikan service optimal.
Hari ini pun saya sudah mengerahkan segala daya upaya. Tanggung jawab terhadap amanat yang saya emban sudah saya usahakan berulang kali. Saya sangat menyayangkan dengan sungguh kepalang. Sudah seringkali. Kecewa dan emosi. Dua sifat yang tidak saya sukai-menguasai cuaca hati siang sampai sore ini. Yang membuat saya kecewa sekaligus emosi, adalah hal ini berkaitan dengan kesempatan-yang sangat didamba dan dicari-cari banyak jiwa, apalagi ada tawaran yang menggiurkan. Kedua, citra kinerja institusi akan dipertanyakan lagi.
Untung, panggilan Tuhan menggertak nurani terdalam. Yang paling saya syukuri, Tuhan selalu terbuka untuk mereka yang mendekat dan memerlukan pelukan eratnya. Saya ingin damai dipeluk erat-Nya malam ini. Dahsyat, percikan air kran terasa begitu menyegarkan. Saya kemudian menghadap untuk laporan. Barisan rapat jamaah malam ini begitu menguatkan. Bahwa saya tidak sendiri. Bahwa masih banyak yang harus saya syukuri. Dan sudahlah, jangan ada keluh di hati. Semua harus dihadapi dengan besar hati.
Salam capek (hati) hari ini, _Kf_

Saturday Night with ..-ing
Start with testing..
my new modest camera-pocket, and trying various 'mode's to get a good captured of photoes. So that I can be a good friend of her, so I can take a very good care of her as much as I love her and remembering how much I love money that I spent to get her.
*I hope someday I can afford SLR- camera..
Then, I started to BLOG-ing
It's quite awesome. It's fun to curhating* my stories and putting some pictures on it. It's also a media for me to escape from Facebook.I continued
by watching two films,
"The Invention of Lying" and "The Time Travelerer's Wife'
Next, I couldn't resist and finally came over to my facebook(again), and started stalking people around.
It's not just such a wasting activity, because afterword,
I found something, a life learned,
that..
"everyone has their own story and destiny"
so, make the best of YOURS!
ps. i am supposed to finish my PACKING, and start LISTING my 'a must' stuffs to bring for my upcoming travel.

Be grateful of your problem, it can be so enlightening in a proper framing
Please guess, what made me happier this evening?? You might didn't get it right. The answer is unpredictable, but that's true. It's because I only spent four thousands rupiah for affording my dinner meal. That really made me happy, especially after I realized that I had no cash money left on my pocket. Thank God. I feed myself for free today due to my official duty. After almost a quarter hour searching for money from everysingle part of my room, my bag, my jacket, and all part, finally I was able to collect five thousand and five hundred rupiahs. Then, I asked Mb. Minah, Ibu kost's maid whether my money enough or not for buying a food. She assured me so. So without any hesitation on 9 p.m. I went walk to buy nasi putih penyetan with a combination of tempe terong and sambel. I went home and reached my room with a wider smile.
Before eating, I prepared my drink by having a big glass of water. Ohh, wow. How great I feel. For the first time, I really enjoyed a glass of water with such a deep satisfaction. At that moment, I think that tempe-terong and sambal are much better than any gudeg, seafood, pizza, fried chicken, lasagna, and other delicious foods. The experience tonight made me realize that I have to be grateful for all I have although with a simple and moderate way. Be grateful, that I was still able to eat something today. Please imagine how many people out there who need to struggle for make a living, even for a bite of nasi. It's such a lesson learned for me that I need to be more thoughtful on managing my money.
I had been through this several last week with what most my friends said as 'hedonism'. Not in the real meaning, but just our interpretation in which we had overwhelmingly fun activities that mostly waste our money, energy, and time to have self-pleasure with a bunch of friends. And then, today I experienced something more, deeper, when I realized that I was lucky enough to have experienced various condition of life.
It' not merely about MONEY
I always update my progress with parents, so do today. I almost cancelled all my agenda if it will create more budget. They didn't agree on that matter. All of sudden, I realize that I still have God, place where I have to fully-surrender. So when adzan Isya called me, I anwered the call by having Isya jamaah prayer in Masjid in front of kost, just like I did as usual. What a miracle. I felt lighter afterward, and more relieved. It' s getting much more relieved when I texted my parents talking about my condition, my wrong framing about my problem, and how should i be grateful with everything God given me. Then, my parent said,
"..., you don't need to be sad and overthinking about those stuffs because you still have your parents, dear. When you get home, we can fix the problem and provide what you need at the most"
OMG. That message gradually lighted up my evening. Then, I answered I was not sad anymore since I have a BIG God and BIG parents that I can count on. But the problem actually is due to my thinking that I want to be independent and not bother my parents anymore with this kinda annoying stuffs. But then, I also realized that they are there for me. That's why I really want to be home soon. Soon. I hope so. Soon :))
Today lesson learnt can be read on the title above. I bet you agree on that sentence.
