(Different) Twins

Dear Nadia,
I never thought that I can befriend with you. It's nice having a good friend, a dear good friend, that's an introvert version of my self. You're the INTP and I'm the ENTP, so I'm feeling like you know me better than anyone else. As I said earlier to you, maybe we're like twins. It's just the one tiny different that makes us different, and I'm glad with it.

Honestly, before I met or knew you, I thought you're an arrogant and selfish woman because you look soooooo quite and you're classy (SERIOUSLY), LOL. Even before our introduction, I always love your sense of fashion... Your sense of fashion is a little bit similar to me. And once again, I think we're twins from different womb, lol. But then things changed and we met. It was a little bit awkward at first but I still remember how we think about the same thing at the same time, and before I knew you're an INTP, I had this feeling that you're like me, something about you remind me of myself. But then suddenly I knew you're an INTP (from our lecturer of course, before you put it in your blog, lol) and the sense came to me and I now know it.

I think... You're smart, because you love to write and read every literature especially in physiology, beautiful (INSIDE AND OUT), classy, and my judgement of you changed 360° when we became friend. You are the most caring person that I met, someone that surprisingly help me with 'something' from the very beginning.

Why do I write about you, actually?

Nadia, do you remember when we finished Manajemen Perbankan class? As we walked through the corridor, you were worrying me and my 'disease'. Kebetulan, I'm actually just healed from it... I didn't think that was a coincidence, but I think deep down in your heart you knew something was wrong but you were still in doubt. To be honest, only some people know that I was 'kumat' for the whole month (last month). I wanted to tell you, but I'm afraid... I don't know why. But when you asked me about my 'disease', that moment I realized... Well, my (unrelated) twins has a right to know about it, lol.

"I'm afraid that you sick but no one knows. People can hide themself and I'm afraid that you look okay on the outside but broken inside," you said that.

"Well yes, sometimes I am quite and hide myself from people. I do tell some people, but not everyone. Actually, I'm just healed from it. Why do you ask? Is it because I look different lately?"

"Well, I don't know. It's just make me worry about you."

Then you were standing quite while staring at me.

"Please don't do anything to Nita. I want to see Nita, the real Nita that I know."

Nad.... Seriously, I was so touched when you said it. To be honest, I was trying not to sobbing in the cafetaria. :)

"It's not that Nita is gone... Well people told me that I better find that old style Nita that they know."

"Well, I just want Nita safe and sound. You can tell me everything, okay?" What touched me the most was.... THEN YOU KISS ME ON THE CHEEK, that was so nice of you :) I was holding myself not to hug you in the crowd because people may feel a little bit awkward with that, lol.

I am speechless.

So Nadia, thank you for being my friend, my sister, and my twins that I longing all these years. It's nice talking to you and I'm glad that I can trust you with my untold stories, and thank you for trusting me with some of your stories, too! It's nice having a deep discussion from your perspective. I'm really hoping that our friendship will never be ended, we have to keep the bond no matter what the circumstances is.

Love,
Varenka :p

Renungan di Minggu Kelabu

Saya takut untuk menghadapinya, tapi saya tidak bisa berlari untuk kabur. Bukan tidak bisa sebenarnya, tetapi tidak boleh. Selama bertahun-tahun saya terus berlari tanpa tujuan, mencari kedamaian, namun seiring saya berlari semakin kedamaian itu berlari menjauhi saya. Saya seharusnya bersyukur karena hidup saya dikelilingi oleh orang-orang yang peduli dan sayang terhadap saya. Namun, mengapa saya masih merindukan rasa sayang jauh di lubuk hati? Selama ini saya yakin jika tempaan ini diibaratkan batu kasar yang sedang dipoles agar menjadi berlian yang indah nantinya. Sakit!!! Sering sekali saya merintih kesakitan akibat polesan itu, dan beberapa kali saya berusaha kabur agar tidak dipoles. Pantas saja, berlian itu tak kunjung terlihat. Iya, saya yakin nantinya saya akan menjadi berlian... Suatu hari nanti. Entah kapan. Dia mengatakan saya tidak seharusnya terus berlari seperti sekarang. Saya harus bertahan di tengah rintihan akibat polesan, apapun yang terjadi. Dia mengatakan saya ha...

Penikmat Hujan

Langit Jakarta kian hari semakin menunjukkan kesedihannya. Matahari jarang menampakkan wujudnya dan angin berhembus lembut hingga terkadang rasanya seperti menusuk tulang. Gumpalan awan kelabu hilir mudik dengan percaya diri, tanpa mempedulikan para manusia yang mulai berlarian untuk melindungi diri. Hiruk-pikuk kota ini semakin riuh dengan rintikkan hujan yang hampir setiap sore menghujani daerah ini. Kapan terakhir kali saya (bahkan anda) mengajak hujan bermain? Sudah lama sepertinya... Kita semua dulu bermain hujan sebelum menyadari kalau dunia itu penuh kepura-puraan, tertawa lebar tanpa perlu takut penilaian orang lain, berlari dengan kaus kutang tanpa perlu merasa khawatir, mencuri-curi untuk makan permen sebanyak-banyaknya, hingga menangis karena terjatuh akibat kerikil kecil. Oh, dunia terasa indah ketika kita masih lugu. Tidak ada kebencian, tidak ada caci-maki, tidak mengenal perasaan aneh terhadap lawan jenis, yang ada hanya... Persahabatan dan kasih sayang. Saya rindu ...

Give and Take

What happens to teenager this day? What happens to Indonesian culture about polite, manner, and grace? It's so pathethic that now we rarely see it in our life. Let's take the easiest samples: 1. Menyela pembicaraan orang. 2. Make fun, laugh, yawn, stared hatefully toward the elders (it can be your lecturer or even your parent). 3. Being ignorance, arrogant. 4. This may be the simpliest sample of all... keluar / masuk ruangan tanpa ijin, main kabur,padahal sebenarnya bisa ijin dulu. etc. Some of the examples above are actually based on my observation in actual life. But then the question is: Can we live without polite, manner, and grace? Sekarang coba kalau dibalik. Kita jadi orang yang mendapatkan perlakuan yang tidak sopan. You feel uncomfortable, angry, sad, and insecure, don't you? Is that good? How can we have polite, manner, and grace? Well, I'm kind of person that believe in "Give and Take". Give and take is actually hands that help each oth...

My Life Among Homicide and Drama Series

So let's talk about Bones, Castle, CSI, and NCIS. I was raised with th ese tv shows. Dari jaman SD sampai sekarang these are my guilty pleasure. Well, never get tired of them. Each stories have unique plots and twists, also with love story in it. These are some things that I learn from the shows: 1. NEVER TRUST ANYBODY BUT YOURSELF, and the evidences of course. In every stories, there must be the moles in it. 2. Your office partner can be your... lover. Ha, so cheesy, I know. It only happens in the tv shows. Caskett (Castle and Beckett, from Castle, is absolutely my favorite couple among all.) 3. Use cash instead of credit card so you can't be tracked. 4. Learn martial art so you can self defense in case of some terrible moments. 5. May sound weird but.... these shows make me paranoid about using lipstick. Kebayangnya jadi keracunan kalo pake lipstick karena bahan kimia di dalamnya, wth. 6. In the shows... being a police, or a forensic team, or the investigator are qui...
