ever again

got caught up in life, carried away by time
slowly drinking from my cup not quite sure where i’ll end up

only know for sure that

the awful the beautiful the cross-eyed the damned the eager the fun the gorgeous the horrible the irksome the jerk the king the lame the meek the noisy the ogre the poor the quirky the rich the slim the tall the unique the vulnerable the weirdo the x-rated the young the zealous they all has one. if i don’t then whose to blame?

you’ve got a problem with acne he ask
you mean i have acne problem?

hell yeah i do especially when i rise and shine with the moon.

got a problem with lips too… and teeth, tongue, pores.

also eyes, head, heart, nails, ankle, oh and you! maybe with you too.

just like the rest of the world or half the species of the earth.

always got a problem with something. or all things. or imaginathings.

blame in on luna. or maybe try to fit on her shoes.

fly to your metaphorical moon and look at your self.

maybe your trouble would seem so far away just like lennon said.

i say everything looks smoother from the bumpy surface of the moon.

but i don’t want to sit on your lap just yet luna… i need to see your face.

i’m waiting for your blue face. for i believe

something crazy is bound to happen once in a blue moon

in this advanced world we live in

why do we always lack of something

when we have the world in the palm of our hand

why are we still searching

when everything has almost been exploited to our benefit

why still we don’t have enough

not enough money

not enough fun

not enough rest

not enough happiness

not enough time

 

 

 
somewhat-trivial and not-so-trivial high and low of two thousand and ten; not in chronological order
 

1. was the most uneventful year ever*

2. visited bali twice (thanks neng iren for joining me “bengong bareng di Bali”)

3. grew my hair (as usual, too lazy and and stingy to go to hairdresser), and sent my bang to retirement

4. visited dentist like…four times

5. visited new places: viet nam and mainland China! yey! what a trip! oh yeah went to Hong kong and Macau too at christmas, with family that time. am (still) such a lucky girl

6. became more and more unhappy and anxious. (the last time i remember being really happy was on february, when my sister visited) huum huumm

7. saw my sister twice. (and met her boyfriend once. at the airport)

8. went to Placebo concert (saw brian molko with my own eyes! cool!!)

9. came to hate my job. quit my job. got no job :D :D :D

10. didn’t pay my credit card (naughty naughty me)

11. the collection of my nail polish still didn’t grow beyond red and black

12. had bought almost all Haruki Murakami’s book

13. promised to stop buying book (how could i, when i’m an officer of Jakarta Book Club?)

14. had given up planning my future but couldn’t help keep worrying about future all the same

15. gave up my room at martimbang and moved to mel’s place (melani’s, not melrose Place ya)

16. 4 friends got married, 2 had babies and…fortunately, all the people i know grew older (iaialaaa……..)

as for me, as i grow older i feel i become more and more immature and selfish. “i should be better but i’m worse” (bird and the bee)

*actually so many events had happened during 2010, it’s just that…. the year seemed had flown by so fast without me really living it.

sudah lama tidak cuap-cuap

karena hasrat menulis telah menguap

sekarang malah jadi banyak cakap

dan hobi menahan kuap

Is it not true: A move of the head, a step to the left or right, and we change from wise, decent loyal people to conceited fools?

Light changes, our eyes blink and see the world from the slightest difference of perspective

and our place in it has changes infinitely:

| Tinkers - Paul Harding

It is. though i don’t really like the book, but it is true.

somehow
i’ve always managed to get what i want
without really knowing what it was that i want

now
when i finally know what i want
somehow i can’t get it.

isn’t it frustrating
i, whom always been considered one with patience
am now can’t even sit her mind still for a second

frustrating

It’s just a tiny shred of happiness.
not the joy of life. far from it.

and i can’t call that sliver of happiness my own.
in a way it doesn’t even exist.

but still.
the existence of one chunk of ecstasy
in the middle of a dull life
is worth grasping don’t you think?

and now why should i have a hard time
letting go of that thing
that doesn’t even belong to me

last night i played question & answer with The Book of Answer  at Aksara Bookstore
and yes…
to my first question it gave a quite in-context answer, which was:
Seek for more options

and then i asked another question,
which answer to me must be the wiser the book has ever given:
Ask the Father.

ok i should’ve stopped there.
but no…
i pushed it further. i asked the same question in other way.
should i step further?
the answer was:
It would be inadvisable.

then like any stupid one would do, i asked for confirmation.
in other word, i put the same question into another sentence and shot it
should i do nothing and wait?
the page i opened said:
move on.


don’t ask if you’re not ready to hear the answer.

moreover do not consult someone/something you don’t even believe in.

ever.

let there be light
