Untuknya, dariku

Beribu rasa yang tidak terucap.
Berkumpul menjadi sebuah kerinduan.
Rasanya ingin memeluk...
Rasanya ingin mendekap....
Rasanya ingin di sampingnya.

Sayang, dia jauh tidak teraih.
Hanya sebatas asa di kalbu.
Salamku hanya disampaikan buih ombak.
Nun jauh di sana,
Aku tak tahu apa dia mampu mendengarnya.

Aku...
Ingin menggapai walau ku tak bisa.

Kalaupun aku bisa,
Kalaupun aku sanggup,
Apakah aku akan berani?

Dedicated to someone that lives abroad.

Lesson of Life

One day, Gue pulang sekolah naik Kopaja 19 menuju Bendungan Hilir. I was sitting at the back seat.. Paling belakang, yang deket pintu belakang, a.k.a deketan sama Keneknya (cie.. cie.. cie..). Hmm, but that's not the story I want to tell you... In the middle of Keheningan yang canggung, dikelilingi lautan mobil yang berhenti total, klakson mobil dimana-mana ditambah dengan polusi kendaraan bermotor, berhiaskan pemandangan FX, suddenly... "SMA, dek?" sang Kenek membuka topik pembicaraan. Gue: *ngangguk, sambil sedikit tersenyum* Kenek: "SMA mana, dek?" Gue: "24" Kenek: "Ohh, di Senayan itu, kan? Mau kuliah dimana?" Gue: *Astagfirullah, selalu dikira kelas XII atau udah kuliah. Asdfghjkl* *sabar* *elus dada* "Masih kelas X, hehe." Kenek: *tampang kaget dan sedikit bersalah* "Ohh, belajar yang pinter ya, Dek. Anak saya baru lulus tahun kemarin dari UI." Gue: "Oh ya?" Kenek: "Iya, alhamdul...

Pancasila, Nasionalisme, dan Eyangkung

Mungkin Eyangkung (Eyang Kakung, Kakek dalam bahasa Jawa) benci disebut-sebut sebagai pahlawan. Tapi, memang kenyataannya begitu. Tidak akan ada Indonesia tanpa Eyangkung dan para pahlawan yang lain. Eyangkung saya bernama Eyang Toegijo Kartosandjojo, beliau lahir di Solo pada 17 Agustus 1919. Eyangkung bersekolah di Neutrale H. I. S Solo dan beliau berprestasi di sekolahnya. Karena prestasi itulah beliau dibebaskan dari les persiapab masuk M. U. L. O. dan pada akhirnya beliau berhasil masuk tanpa melalui tes ujian masuk. Sebagai cucu kesekian, saya sangat bangga mempunyai sosok Eyangkung. Karena beliau, saya selalu bersumpah akan membawa nama baik keluarga. Saya nggak mau menjelekkan nama baik keluarga besar, saya nggak mau dibilang, "cucu pahlawan kok seperti itu?" (Walaupun saya ini memang tergolong bandel sih, cuma bandelnya masih sebatas wajar). Walaupun beliau wafat setahun sebelum saya lahir, banyak cerita yang sudah saya dengar maupun foto-foto beliau yang saya l...

Deadly Alive

There is nothing worse than being lived without soul; trying to breathe but there is no oxygen; feeling sad but do not have any heart; nor lost the most precious inspiration. Deadly alive. It is how I live right now. Making myself to keep busy inside and outside that becomes a habbit right now. To forget the personal problems for awhile. Well, actually trying my best to avoid the emptiness and perhaps... it is more like to run away from anyone and anything. Do not want to be involved in a subjective cycle, because making a high expectation is like commiting a suicide. Being objective means there is no personal feeling attached. Everything is fair and clear. Yup, I am deadly alive.

Dear Momma

Dear Momma, If there is any world beside this, if I ever get lost, I hope you will be there for me. You are the one who taught me to stand high in my lowest, to always blessed in every condition, to always patient in this tough world, and to smile behind this fragile body. You are the most strict, discipline, grace, and charming lady I know and I'm so glad that you take care of me as your daughter. Yes, you are my Momma and I am proud to be your daughter. I used to lie sometimes when I was in high school, and since I am now a college student.. I think it's not right and wise enough to hide something from you. You deserve to know anything, you have right. Then, I learn to told you everything. My friends, my love story, my enemies, my college life, my school life, my grades, my problems, and tell you that once I skipped class. For the 18 years of wasting, now I realize that you are my bestest friend in the whole wide world. Then I know you are the one who colored up my dark wo...
