Hardiknas

I never thought that I could see him as a father figure before. He is a figure that I adore since the first step I walked in the campus. He looks nice, wise, discipline, much of father figure that I am longing.

Our introduction went smooth, he sees something in me, perhaps a potential of something that I don't even realize it until today. He believes in my dreams, he encourages me, gives me feedback, spare his busy time for me. We discussed everything while we meet, I listened to his stories while he was abroad, we talked politics, economics, how the world changed. He even shut his phone off when it was ringing while he was talking to me, I mean... seriously. The busy man like him turned his call for a young girl like me.

Day by day, month by month, saya semakin kagum dengan beliau. Terkadang saya benar-benar berharap, "andaikan beliau adalah ayah saya." Ternyata rasanya menyenangkan punya sosok ayah, ya.

Mengapa saya menulis ini? Baru saja beliau menelepon ponsel saya malam ini, karena ada informasi mengenai pendidikan. Apa yang beliau lakukan terhadap saya selama ini (apalagi barusan) selalu berhasil membuat saya terharu. Iya, beliau memang peduli terhadap saya. Ah, sensitif sekali saya ini. Berkaca-kaca hanya karena dihubungi oleh seorang Profesor yang menjadi rektor di kampus saya.

Ya, saya tidak pernah menyangka jika kami berdua akan seperti ini.

Ini janji saya untuk Profesorku:
"You must promise me that you will be as healthy as today years by now. Because I want you to see me as a success woman, an inspirational figure just like you. I want us to discuss a lot of things in the future, just like we did in the present.

You inspire me a lot, Professor.

I always remember what you said... 'Do everything with your passion and you won't find any strugles.'

Thank you for being a father figure that I am longing, Professor.

Please be healthy, because I want you, my father, to see your daughter grow..."

Beliau adalah sosok guru yang sesungguhnya. Bukan ditakuti, tapi dihormati dan disayangi.

Kalau anda menemukan sosok seperti beliau, maka jadikanlah sosok guru itu layaknya sebagai orang tua kita sendiri. Dan kita, jangan kurang ajar jadi anak. :p

Intinya, beliau adalah sosok inspirasi untuk dicontoh.

Selamat Hari Pendidikan Nasional, semuanya!

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...

Self Reflection

I haven't wrote anything. But will try to write... again. 4 tahun yang lalu, gue menuliskan tentang masa-masa menjadi maba  (mahasiswa baru) yang baru saja selesai melaksanakan PKKMB. Hari ini, beberapa teman angkatan 2015 sudah melaksanakan wisuda. Gue belum, semoga tahun depan mendapatkan giliran. Aamiin... Btw , entah mengapa pukul segini memang enak untuk menjadi sendu. Bukan sendu dalam konotasi negatif, tetapi cenderung ke arah positif. Tiba-tiba, jadi mengenang apa saja yang terjadi selama 4 tahun belakangan ini. Masa-masa di mana gue melepas seragam putih-abu, dan menggantinya dengan pakaian bebas. Malam ini menjadi sebuah renungan terhadap diri sendiri, atas apa yang telah dicapai, kesalahan, kebahagiaan, pertemanan, dan lain sebagainya. Katanya, kuliah adalah masa terakhir sebelum menghadapi dunia nyata. Katanya, semakin kita dewasa, kita cenderung menjadi realistis... mematikan cita-cita di dalam diri. Mematikan jiwa anak-anak yang ada di dalam hati. ...

That Fangirling Moment When They Talk About F1 (2.0)

I AM RIGHT! I'll present this post to who loves watching F1, to whoever that thinks that no one could break Vettel's record. JUST IN FACT: Max Verstappen is the youngest ever that won a race! Let's take a look back to the Spain GP, of course! I am so proud of my baby-rookie-cutie!! I mean, he's only 18! We are from 1997!! It will be difficult enough to break his record, EVER. (The Spain GP udah lewat lama..... and tomorrow will be the Canada GP, though.) As a huge fan of Sebastian Vettel (don't forget about his younger bro, Fabian) and as a long lost girlfriend of Lewis Hamilton... (sobbing) still and will always be theirs, of course. But I can't resist that I REALLY REALLY excited about Verstappen's achievement. I hope Vettel, Hamilton, Verstappen, or Ricciardo could win the Canada GP! It's enough for Rosberg, I guess. (What an evil mind of mine). As Indonesian, of course I ship Haryanto. I still have that believe. Hamilton came from GP2 once, b...

Sakit dan Menyerah?

Rasanya seperti tamparan keras yang sakitnya bukan hanya terasa di kulit namun sudah menyebar ke dalam jiwa. Sakit... Rasanya membekas seperti hiruk-pikuk kota Jakarta yang tak kunjung pergi. Semakin lama semakin sakit... Ah, apalah si bodoh ini yang hanya mampu merintih kesakitan? Orang pun hanya berlalu-lalang tanpa peduli suara rintihan yang berharap akan sebuah pertolongan. Segala upaya telah dilakukan dan seiring dengan upaya tersebut banyak pengorbanan yang telah dilalui. Ya, pada akhirnya pengorbanan itu yang membuat si bodoh ini kesakitan. Ingin berhenti! Ah, apalah maknanya jika berhenti di tengah jalan? Bukannya manusia diciptakan dengan berbagai macam rintangan untuk dilalui? Entahlah... Apakah sudah letih? Yakin ingin menyerah? Tidak, saya tidak mau menyerah. Saya masih ingin berusaha, namun pada titik ini saya berharap akan adanya uluran tangan. Hanya untuk mengatakan, "semuanya akan baik-baik saja." Tidak lebih.
