When I write

When I'm feeling blue, I write and when I'm feeling yellow or orange, I also write. Beberapa hal tertancap di kepala beberapa hari ini, dan sepertinya masih belum ada solusi yang saya temukan untuk menyelesaikannya. Seperti layang-layang yang putus dari talinya, that's how my minds work right now, in all directions with no direction. Kalau dibilang mengikuti arah angin, mungkin, tapi sepertinya bukan "itu" yang saya mau.

Sambil mendengarkan lagu Penny & Sparrow yang berjudul "Bread and Bleeding", yang artinya roti dan berdarah. Entah kenapa akhir-akhir ini saya banyak bertemu dengan lagu-lagu yang pada akhirnya mengakibatkan mata saya merah seperti darah, dan seperti bayi yang hanya berteriak saja karena kelaparan, I'm ranting myself here and there. Kalau kata Pak Bukowski, saya perlu mengosongkan hati saya baru saya dapat memulai yang baru. Well, masalahnya adalah hati saya sepertinya sudah seperti rumah kumuh yang ada di brazil dimana penduduknya buanyak sekali, akan membingungkan mengosongkannya dari sisi sebelah mana. Ahok harus ditiru sepertinya dalam hal ini. Violently and effectively, like a trained mercenaries semacem John Wick, atau saya hanya butuh piknik?

So many possibilities, my scattered brain got confused. A typical me? Definitely. Terombang ambing dalam pikiran sendiri, bahkan yang belum terjadi, pusing sendiri, gila sendiri, lalu tetiba sampai di sebuah pantai keputusan. Dang! Kelar semua! Haahahahahahah, my crazy self! Menertawakan diri sendiri adalah pilihan yang paling baik saat ini. Daripada jadi roti dan berdarah, itu kayanya di lagu doang!

The phase that I have to get through as a human being, the complexity of a heart and mind. Jadi inget waktu nonton the skeleton twins, this is one of my fave movie sekarang, ketika si adik pasang lagu dan akhirnya mereka jadi nyanyi "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", it was like a cure. Simple yet fufilling. Two weirdos whose got each other back.

So, this is when I write.. I can go back and forth to anything, even on this writing I don't know what I want to talk about. Though I know what I don't want, but that doesn't mean I get what I want. Ribet! Sila di komen kalau mau di komen, gak di komen juga gak papa. Somehow, this is relieving and forgive my mish mash, kadang the head got what it wants XD.

Adaptasi

Sebuah kata yang berarti perubahan secara perlahan-lahan menyesuaikan lingkungan sekitarnya. Seperti yang saya alami dalam kurun waktu 3 minggu ini, saya harus beradaptasi dengan lingkungan baru yang sangat awam buat saya. Saya kadang merasa seperti tercebur ke sebuah lautan, dan hanya dimodali sebuah sekoci kecil untuk bertahan hidup yaitu harapan.

Bisa dibayangkan gak sih di sebuah lautan, dan yang ada dikepala adalah harus menuju sebuah daratan untuk hidup. Either you live it or you leave it! Suck it hard babe! Sekoci digunakan supaya tidak tenggelam, seperti di film Life of Pi, menghindari si harimau yang ada di kapal dia berenang sampai hampir lumutan dan mulut tidak hanya retak tapi hancur. Pada akhirnya si Pi berdamai dengan si harimau dan akhirnya bisa sampai daratan. Yah, kurang lebih saya mungkin harus begitu, harimau tersebut adalah rasa takut saya dan saya harus mencari cara bagaimana mengalahkan rasa takut tersebut supaya saya berhasil dalam kehidupan pekerjaan saya. Seperti yang orang-orang hebat bilang, let your success be your noise. He eh dahhh kalau kata saya, syukur kalau semua target bos yang di serahterimakan kepada saya dapat saya raih, itu saya akan sujud syukur dan mungkin makan sama orang-orang terkasih berbagi bahagia. Oh iya, bagian yang itu mungkin tergantung hepeng, saya takut ditagih soalnya di kemudian hari.

Kembali lagi ke lautan, di beberapa minggu awal saya merasa hilang arah. Pertama, karena bisnisnya berbeda sekali dengan bisnis saya sebelumnya. Totally new, totally different, needs more than effort, but a real motivation to learn it. Kedua, saya termasuk manusia yang agak susah harus hidup sendiri. Walau terlihat seperti perempuan baja yang suka jalan sendiri dan berani, actually, hmmmm..yah kurang lebih agak begitu tapi gak terlalu begitu. Hahahahahhahaha!! Gotcha! So, makan siang sendiri itu buat saya agak susah, walau pada akhirnya sih bisa juga sih, walau mati gaya kayanya setiap kali makan. Syukurnya, teman-teman saya belum melupakan saya, kadang mereka suka berkunjung dan menemani saya, I'm one lucky bitch!

Kembali lagi ke lautan dan hilang arah, seperti embun yang menghiasi kacamata dan pada akhirnya kacamatanya berkabut dan tidak terlihat apa-apa. Kali ini saya mulai me-lap kacamata saya, kalau sebelumnya, kuping saya buka lebar-lebar untuk menyerap semuanya yang diberikan oleh sekeliling, termasuk sindiran gak penting karena potong rambut, pada akhirnya saya mulai menemukan kerangka dalam pekerjaan saya. Jadi, akhirnya saya menemukan kompas tersembunyi di salah satu sudut sekoci. Tertolong, saya akhirnya tahu mana Utara dan Selatan, walau tidak menyelesaikan masalah, karena saya belum tahu daratannya dimana cuy?? Di kanan? Di Kiri? Di depan atau di belakang gue??

Tapi seperti yang dibilang semua orang hebat, saya harus menyandarkan diri saya kepada Tuhan. Dia pasti akan mengarahkan saya ke daratan yang baik, somehow! Kadang kita harus menyerah kepada rencanaNya, walau kita tidak akan pernah tahu apa maksud dibelakangnya. Kalau bakwan, kita bisa liat udangnya, ini sepertinya walau kita makan molen, tahu, tempe, bakwan and the whole gorengan and the gang, kita tidak akan pernah tahu rencananya maunya kemana. Udah lah percaya ajah, gitchuuu!

Seakan-akan iman saya atau tingkat relijius saya tiba-tiba melesat tinggi ke surga?? Tidak sama sekali, seperti sebesar biji sesawi juga belum sih #nunduk #malu. Sebenernya saya udah capek aja nanya mulu kenapa..jadi lah seperti ini. So, if now I'm in the middle of the ocean, so be it! Selama harimau nggak ada di sekoci saya, tidak perlu khawatir sepertinya saya. Cuman saya nggak bisa berenang T_T.

Cukup sekian catatan di sore ini, sebelum kegilaan saya makin meningkat! Have a great day people, please do comment, so I won't feel talking alone! XD

Selamat Taon Baru Cina juga yakkkk


XOXO,

2015 - Recap!

Passing each year, growing older and older, and now reaching at the end of 2015. So, this is my recap of 2015, a short passage about a glimpse of my life that I created as a milestones and a chapter of my book of life.

January :

Busy as a bee. That will be the short definition of this month. It was like the craziest time of my job life, I remember vividly that at the 1st January of 2015, I'm still sending invitation to a press conference I held. It was a crazy month. We (my team) passed it with exhaustment and celebrate it by fufu-ing the best place of fufu in the whole world. This is it!

February:

Ahh the month of love! Well, maybe this is the first time I am romantically celebrate Valentine with my husband. It was a beautiful ride, full of surprises! It was one of the best moments in our journey as spouses. The sad part was I left by my partners in work. I was forced to join in a whole new dimension of working alone. This was also one of the obstacle in my life. At the end of February, my friend and I decided a new whole hobby and publish it online. It was one of the achievements in my life. 
"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything"

March :

The first trip with train with my little family. The train was crazy, we were bored, but at the end it was a meaningful journey. It was fun for the kids, and we had a blast! I love it! One of the best time of 2015! Tears shed, laughter was also all over the place. It was a month of colors.


April :

A month of friendship, lots of meetings with my bestfriend. Which I miss them right now. I wish I could be with them right now and spends this afternoon just eating ice cream and chats just about anything, everything will be fine I suppose. It will be like humanity restored.


May :

Another trip out of town, this time with my husband's gang. It was a great adventure and also moments for us to find our true self. With hurricane hitting our boat, we just try to hold onto each other and try to survive. Each pieces of the journey fall in their places, definitely one of the gold moments of 2015. 


June  :

I lost a bet this month. This bet made me have to write 10 articles in English, based on the request of the winner. I made a pact with the devil and I lose. Struggling with the craziness, I finally made it. June, also means the birthday of my son, he turns 9 this year. 

July  :

We, decided to spend the long holiday in the beach. Though we can not swim for the rocks along the sea side. We spend like four days, anddd.. Play cards! Yes baby, just like life we have to gamble! Though I lose :(. But it was a fun  yearly trip. 

August  :

I finally finish all of my 10 piece, it took about almost 3 months to finish everything. At this month, I also reunite with my college besties. It was like a reviving thing for me, meeting them after 13 years and it still feel like yesterday. There were lots of positive energy when you met your long time friends. We call it "ebu-ebu time", well we also need to fill the energy too right? 6 woman at a place, we definitely have a blast! One of the highlight of this month is my hubby bought me the best headphones, I love it so much! 

September :

Our anniversary month, and we decided to celebrate it by road-tripping to Cirebon with the kids. Spending 3 days together, we went mad, laugh, mad again and laugh again. We went to the pool of fishes that eats our skins, we swam, we enjoy the sunsets, definitely one of the gold moments of 2015. At the same month, I also went to a business trip twice to the same town, it was revealing somehow and I really have a good time. I will not forget this trip ever I think. I still remember the moments, some salties that went through (in a good way), just can't seem to forget it. 



October ;

My month. Drawn to poetry and create few by myself, all I can say that this birthday of mine is unforgettable. I share with people that I held dearly in my heart, and as I grew older, I kinda forget that I grew older, I just want to share and felt happy with my dearest. I receive surprise gift from a long time besties, surprisingly she still remembers my birthday. One of the best thing of all is, I went to a concert with my husband, after a very long time not seeing a musical concert, this definitely a great time to start again! I wish I could write everything, but I guess there are things that better stayed in your mind and heart rather than share it publicly. Moments that become treasures in my life that become pieces of heaven in my life. 

November : 

Reaching the end of this year, sometimes feeling depressed but I guess we're alright. To motivate myself at work, I put quotes at my desk to remind me that I can conquer and achieve my goals. It helps at hard times and give me strength facing all those crazy work life and difficulties. I share it also to my fellow partner in crime XD.


"Learn the Rules like a PRO, break them like an Artist" , hey I'm a rebel can't help to bent the rules!
"Everything is Possible if You got the Nerve", this one is from J.K Rowling. Thanks Ms. Rowling, it helps me a lot to do most of the things I thought I don't have the nerve to do it. Well, there's a glimpse of my desk, the pink glass for coffee, and that's the account of my soundcloud.

December :

Busiest month ever!

1. I have a new partner, you can call us B&B, his name is started with B too.
2. My project is in chaos, it's like a living hell doing that project.
3. I went hiatus.

Those are only few things that went this month. I think I lost my sanity this month. The good news is, I got a new job. So, I'm really going to start new in 2016. I really don't know if I'm going to make it or not, but hopefully everything will be fine. I wish to have lots of gold moments in 2016, more than 2015. 

It's a crazy year, but somehow I made it. I guess we're all going to get through everything no matter what surrounds us, by the helped of our families, best friends and friends, everything eventually shall passed. It's the second day of 2016, I have another 364 days to conquer!

So in summary, 2015 is :



XOXO,
