Past notes.
Monday, February 25, 2013 | 0 comments
If someones asks me am I okay, than I'll definitely say that I'm NOT.
I might seem to be okay, but i'm NOT.

"Through the good, and the bad, and the ugly, we'll grow old together."
"I love you, always, forever."
"I''ll never let you go."
"Last long 'til we're grandpas and grandmas."

I ONCE believed those sweet promises,
but the fact is. They are ONLY promises.
Promises lead to expectations,
and expectations lead to disappointments.

I've decided to let go everything.
I want to let go. I must to let go.
I want to forget. I must forget.
But how am I going to move on when the memories are still haunting me.

Since the day you left, I dreamed about you almost everyday.
I woke up in pain.
I can barely breath.
I looked around, and stuffed animals from you are around my bed.
I get off from my bed, I saw the TV.
I remembered when we watched the TV together.
I walked through my bedroom, I remembered when we studied there.
I went downstairs, and every part of my house still reminds me of you.

I go out. I drive the car.
The streets even remind me of you.
When we used to be in your car, going down the streets, and chat.

Every restaurant we used to eat,
every words you used to say,
every thing reminds me of you.

The streets in Jakarta remind me of you.
How we used to go through those streets when we are on our way to our friend's seventeen dinner or party.

Malls in Jakarta remind me of you.
How we used to hang out.

When I saw cute things,
the first thing in my mind..
"I hope he'll buy me this." or "Should I buy him this?"

I love making stuffs for him.
So every time a creative idea comes into my mind,
it only reminds me of you.

So, what to do?
How to get you off from my mind?
Please, get out.
'Cause I'm struggling here like hell.

Growing up through our own path.

Until the day when we finally met
And decided to walk on the same path.

1268 days we walked on the same path.
Holding hands, and strengthen each other up to face the broken paths.

And when life finally forces us to split our path again..
We walk on our own path again.
You have your own life.. So do I.
You have your own plans.. So do I.

We are no longer on the same path.
And I have to move on.

My ears still catch every voice of yours.
My eyes still search for your presence.
My conscience still cares for you.
My heart still beats for you.

It's funny yet amazing to rethink that I was in such a serious pain at those times.
But I'm really grateful for the strength that He has given to me until this day..
Now. I'm enjoying my life.
I'm enjoying the last days in high school.

Can't imagine what I would be without Him.
And I'm looking forward to the day when I can finally say,
"Thank You for those hard times that I've been through."

Cinta?
Saturday, January 12, 2013 | 0 comments
Aku pernah percaya pada cinta.
Cinta itu terang, manis, dan hangat.

Cinta membuat bangun dari tidur menjadi sesuatu yang menyenangkan,
karena pada akhirnya realita menjadi sesuatu yang jauh lebih membahagiakan daripada mimpi.

Cinta membuat segalanya menjadi lebih indah,
menjalani hari dengan senyuman dan selalu menanti-nanti datangnya hari pagi.

Cinta membuatku banyak berharap dan berangan,
berangan tentang apa-apa saja yang hendak dilakukan di kemudian waktu.

Membayangkan setiap rencana manis membuatku bahkan sulit untuk berhenti tersenyum.
Menanti-nantikan waktu bertemu membuatku bahkan sulit untuk menunggu barang sedetik pun.
Segala kerisauan tentang hidup pun sirna sudah ketika aku memiliki cinta tulus itu di hati.
Cinta, membuat hidup ini menjadi lebih berarti.

Namun,
Bagaimana jikalau ternyata cinta yang selama ini selalu meyakinkanku tentang masa depan,
Cinta yang selama ini selalu aku yakini sebagai yang terbaik,
Cinta yang selama ini aku cintai sepenuh hati,
Cinta yang selama ini berucap "selamanya",
ternyata bukanlah cinta yang terbaik untukku?

Cinta itu mengecewakanku. Cinta itu menyakitiku.
Cinta itu membawa pergi separuh hatiku, dan meninggalkanku dengan hati yang tinggal separuh.

Lantas, bagaimana caranya aku bisa percaya kembali, kepada hal yang disebut sebagai cinta itu?


Time will heal, won't it?
Saturday, December 29, 2012 | 0 comments
They keep saying time will heal.

I always keep those words in mind.
So I get strong. So I keep looking forward. And leave the past behind.

But as the days passed, I started to wonder.
Maybe yes, time heals everything.
But can everything heal in time?

The healing process..
Sometimes makes me tired. And.. impatient.
I just want everything to be better as soon as possible.
And if it's possible, I don't want to deal with the process.
Just give me the results.

Human's egoism, yeah, I know.

Weeks have passed. And I've been through a lot of up and downs.
There are times when I could face the day happily without any worry and pain.

But there are also times when memories started to haunt me again,
weakening thoughts started to fill my mind, I started to miss that one person,
and I could feel the pain over and over again.

I was in a serious pain.
And I'm still feeling it.. Sometimes.

Sometimes I was just wondering..
Will I ever be able to forget the past, when everything around me only reminds me of it?
Aish, forget it. Hahaha.

Life goes on, right? And as the time passes by, I'm sure that everything's gonna be alright.
(How unstable am I, lol)

I will always keep in mind, that I will be strong enough to face everything.

And I'll always believe that something better and bigger and prettier and more awesome and more amazing and more beautiful is waiting for me in future.

Because I have that one Father that cares for me more than I could ever imagine.
Amen.

A month of life lessons

30 hari telah berlalu.
Dan menjadikanku diriku yang sekarang.

Mengajarkanku apa artinya sebuah perjuangan,
ketulusan hati,
dan pengorbanan.

Mengajarkanku untuk mensyukuri hal terkecil yang diterima,
dan tidak banyak menuntut.

Mengajarkanku untuk tidak egois,
dan menaruh perhatian pada orang-orang lain.

Mengajarkanku untuk membuang semua rasa gengsi,
dan menjadi seorang yang rendah hati dan mau diajar.

Mengajarkanku untuk tidak bergantung pada manusia,
dan menyerahkan seluruh hidup hanya kepada-Nya.

Mengajarkanku untuk tidak terfokus pada masalah,
namun dapat mengontrol pikiran menuju kepada solusi.

Mengajarkanku bagaimana caranya menjadi kuat,
dan bangkit kembali saat kerapkali terjatuh.

Mengajarkanku untuk mencintai dengan tulus,
tanpa berharap apa-apa sebagai imbalan.

Mengajarkanku untuk bisa melihat segala sesuatu dengan perspektif yang berbeda,
dan tidak hanya memikirkan kepentingan diri sendiri.

Mengajarkanku untuk bisa percaya,
bahwa segala sesuatu yang terjadi pasti ada rencana dibaliknya.

Pada akhirnya, 30 hari ini membuatku tersadar dan bisa menerima.
Bahwa ternyata di dunia ini,
ada hal-hal yang memang tidak ditakdirkan untuk bersatu,
meskipun sekeras apapun anda mencoba.

Dan di hari ke-30 ini, saya dengan yakin dapat berucap:
Ketika anda kehilangan sesuatu,
sesuatu yang jauh lebih besar dan indah menanti anda di ujung sana.

Thank you, and good bye.

Bruno Mars - Runaway

So easy to forget our love,
The little things we do,
Like calling for no reason
Just to say the words "Baby I love you," 

I know lately, I've been busy
But a second doesn't go by
Without you crossing my mind
It's been so long since we had time
Let's take a day & make everything right

Just take my hand, fall in love with me again 
Let's runaway to the place
Where love first found us
Lets runaway for the day
Don't need anyone around us

When everything in love gets so complicated,
It only takes a day to change it.
What I have to say can't wait
All I need is a day

So let's runaway...
Let's runaway, just for the day
Runaway, runaway

Girl, you've been so patient
Spending nights alone & not complaining

But I'll make it up to you,
And I promise today I won't keep you waiting
Please give me this one chance
To remind you of everything we have

I won't give up I'm too much in love 
And I want you to know that 

Just take my hand, fall in love with me again
Let's runaway to the place
Where love first found us
Let's runaway for the day,
Don't need anyone around us

When everything in love gets so complicated
It only takes a day to change it
What I have to say can't wait
All I need is a day

So let's runaway for the day
And I'll give everything in this moment
And I promise to make everyday just like the day

i miss you

"Rumput tetangga selalu nampak lebih hijau."

Ya, gue menyetujui kebenaran daripada pepatah itu.
Dan gue yakin ada banyak orang di luar sana yang juga berpikiran hal yang sama dengan gue.
Gue merasa gue selama ini banyak hidup di dalam bayang-bayang pepatah itu,
dan pada akhirnya..
Jadi terlalu berharap terus.
Selalu berkeinginan lebih, selalu menuntut banyak, dan tidak pernah puas.

Pada akhirnya gue gak bisa ngerasain kebahagiaan yang seharusnya bisa gue rasain dengan keadaan gue yang sekarang. Gue cuman bisa melihat hal-hal yang gak gue miliki dan gak gue terima ketimbang mensyukuri hal-hal yang jauh lebih indah yang sebenarnya gue punya.
Dan biarlah gue saat ini menyimpulkannya sebagai suatu tindakan bodoh. Dan memang iya, itu cuman tindakan bodoh yang cuman ngerugiin lu doang. Dan gue menyesalinya.

Gue gak tau apakah apa yang saat ini tengah gue hadapi merupakan tamparan dari tindakan bodoh yang selama ini gue lakukan atau tidak, tetapi gue merasa cukup tersadar.

Apa yang biasanya selalu ada buat gue, kini menghilang.
Dan gue berharap ini cuman berlangsung sementara, atau gue bisa gila dibuatnya.
Saat segala sesuatunya tersedia buat gue, gue gak pernah bisa melihat betapa berharganya itu buat gue.
Dan sekarang saat hal tersebut mulai menghilang, gue cuman bisa ngegalau setiap hari, dan berusaha sekuat tenaga untuk bisa mendapatkannya kembali.

Saat kesabaran, kekuatan, dan kesetiaan gue lagi benar-benar tengah diuji,
gue mau belajar untuk lebih bisa melihat apa yang gue punya.
Menyayangi apa yang gue punya dengan sepenuh hati. Gue gak lagi mau banyak berharap.
Selama apa yang gue punya masih menjadi milik gue, gue janji akan memperlakukannya dengan lebih baik.

Gue gak tau kapan semua ini akan kembali lagi menjadi baik,
tapi I'm still here, I'm still holding on, and I still believe that everything's gonna be alright, soon.
So until that time comes, just trust me and see my efforts.

Jadi, syukurilah apa yang lu punya sekarang, meskipun itu gak selalu sesuai keinginan lu, atau gak selalu seindah punya tetangga lu, tapi at least in the end it will ALWAYS be the best for you.

Rumput tetangga mungkin memang lebih hijau, tetapi tidak ada yang bisa mengalahkan kebaikan daripada rumput kepunyaanmu sendiri, bukan? :)



Time, please don't pass too fast.

To wake up early in the morning,
and get ready for school.

To fill my brain with something,
that'll be useful for me in the future.

To feel the difficulties of understanding a subject,
and feel happy when you can do it.

To feel depressed to face tomorrow's exam,
and it makes you stay up late until midnight.

To get to know your teachers,
and be thankful to them.

To lose your leisure times,
and get busy to prepare your school events.

To meet and greet new friends,
and share laughter and happiness with them.

To spend a lot of time together with your best friends,
and act crazy like no one's watching.

To be surrounded by people you love,
and be able to spend every single day with them.


I still don't want it to be over,

So,

TIME,

Please do not pass too fast :")
