Something that got me started

Just read an email from a friend. Kenapa jadi jomblo? Kata dia sih penyebabnya banyak banget. Bisa jadi karna pilihan (as of lagi konsentrasi ke kerjaan, sekolah, keluarga, pelayanan), trauma, kurang usaha, keadaan dan yang terakhir "ya belum laku aja!!" Well the last one sure is interesting. Belum laku aja! Tampang ngga jelek2 amat, hidup mapan, otak hmmm..bolehlah, pribadi? pokonya kangen deh kalu ngga ketemu seminggu..huehehe..so Why? Baca email ini bikin otak gue berputar sedikit. Why? Mirroring from my own experience, semua orang pasti ngasih jawaban "karena elu picky!". Hehehe, emang ngga boleh ya picky? orang mau pake baju aja boleh dipilih dulu, masa cari pasangan harus main comot? Orang yang udah pilih dengan hati-hati aja bisa salah, apalagi yang asal comot ya?? Huahaha..pembenaran abis!!! But it's true. If you are dating someone, the reason is of course to see how fit you and him go together, right? (well if your answer is no, then this is the end of our discussion..see you at the next one :)). Jadi, kalu selama masa "pdkt" aja elu udah berasa ngga cocok, ngapain diterusin? A good relationship is about how well you are willing to except your partner. If even the smallest things start to bother you, then why bother? I bet the bigger things will look as the ride to your death sentence. Will you want to feel that for the rest of your marital life? Take it from me. Jadi jomblo (in the state of tanpa gebetan, or punya seribu gebetan tapi ngga satupun cocok buat jadi pacar) emang banyak ngga enaknya. Ga ada orang yang punya kewajiban untuk dengerin kalu lagi pengen marah-marah, ga ada orang yang punya kewajiban ngajakin malem mingguan, ga ada yang berkewajiban nemenin ke acara kantor atau kawinan, ga ada yang wajib nyariin kado super duper bagus kalu lagi ulang taun, ga ada yang maksain dandan cantik-cantik..dan ga ada-ga ada lainnya. Belum lagi kalu liat pasangan-pasangan yang cuddling di depan umum. IRI.. Kayaknya tuh, ada banget orang yang "adore" sampai ngga bisa take their eyes off us, even for a little bit. Tapi apa artinya sih itu semua, kalau bukan cuma itu yang kita dapet? Apa artinya punya orang yang berkewajiban denger kita kalau lagi marah-marah, tapi orang itu mengekang kebebasan kita untuk menjadi mahluk sosial dan berteman dengan orang lain. Apa artinya punya orang yang berkewajban ngajakin malam mingguan, kalu kita ended up paying for all the things we are doing in saturday night. Apa artinya ada yang maksain dandan cantik-cantik, kalu matanya masih juga lirak-lirik mahluk lain. Lebih sakit kan? Kalau ada garansi, yang menyenangkan tidak akan menimbulkan yang menyakitkan, mungki semua orang di dunia ini ngga akan memilih untuk jadi jomblo. Ah, tapi sudahlah...itu semua kan hanya alasan. Tapi intinya sih, apapun alasannya, jomblo itu hanya karena memang belum waktunya dia dikasih pasangan sama yang diatas bukan? Sebab, kalau memang sudah waktunya, apapun alasannya akan tiba-tiba menjadi hal minor yang tidak terlalu berarti lagi dibandingkan kebahagiaan berlimpah yang sedang dirasakan. Right?

The Trendy Conventional

Trend : the most up to date style. Does one have to always direct one's mind according to the latest style? In some cases, change is a bastard for me. I just like some things the way they are. I love the way my office looks with its aristocratic wooden style. Though my designer friends says that the latest trend in design is now simplicity with pastel colors, for me the maroon wooden walls and furnitures are the taste of luxirious. Though they say "pastel-simplicity style" is the sign of cheerfulness, dynamic and clarity, for me "maroon-aristocratic" doesnt always mean gloomy, static and darkness. They stand for sturdy principal that stand still despite of all trial. Other example, all of Christian youth these days long for a charismatic way of religious services. But for me, old-fashion praying and singing way is still the best way to connect to the Almighty. Or as lifestyle, for the Jakartanians, inhabitant of a city developing to metropolism, one night stand is the cassual way of living. But the conventional me still live in the cinderella world, where prince charming is still on the way of saving her princess. See..I am old fashion!! But when it goes to fashion, man...my limitations change 180 degree. I could be the most open minded person when it comes to this field. I just love everything new and hit in fashion.. Hair die, mini skirts, pumps, jelly bag, mary jane, body suit, flare bottom jeans, hipsters, golf hat, big band watch, extra big earings, punk belt, boots, punk, classic, glamour, school girl, glam rock, oriental, office look, sporty...U Name It, I'll Try It. I'm not trendy (nor trying to be). It's just in my blood. I get the urge to try everything, just to see it on me! My big body makes everything looks the same on me. Not in a sexy way like every woman does, but in a so-so, everything looks big... So, i have the courtecy to try on everything, right? I was watching discovery a couple days ago. And the show makes me wonder about something. You see, i learn to eat sushi about a year ago.. Before that, the idea of eating raw fish is just not something i am fond of. .But now, I love it..In some situation, I even found my self craving for it! So back to the discovery channel, the show says that nowadays, FASHIONISTA CRAVE FOR SUSHI..so, that leaves me with one question: Am I a natural born fashionista? *huehehe..gr banget ya gue? not really a fashionista sihh...tapi kadang-kadang gue sering bingung aja sama dorongan batiniah gue buat fashion thing*

A thought of thought

I love to dress up..I love shopping in order to dress up..I have to have money for shopping in order to dress up..I have to work to get the money for shopping in order to dress up..I get yelled at work to get the money for shopping in order to dress up..I get depressed if I get yelledat work to get the money for shopping in order to dress up..I get depressed because I love to dress up...GYAHAHAHA...What a simple and stupid conclussion..But it happened a lot in life. You see how the verb change from love to to have to..there!! From something that you want to do by your self to something that is obliged to do..Consequences...consequences...
