our promise
Hello heart, hello brain.
Belum lagi gw orangnya lebih pake hati daripada otak. Contohnya, di kritik dikit, ato denger sesuatu yg ga enak, langsung bete, sedih ato gundah gulana (geli bgt bahasanya), intinya ga tenang deh. Padahal mestinya kalo mikir pake otak (logic), hal2 kecil kaya gitu ga usah gw peduliin daripada nyusahin diri sendiri.
Belakangan gw suka ngeliat quotes: think with your heart. Yaa that's not the exact word, but that's the point (beda yah sama 'follow your heart'). Dulu I used to agree with these quotes. But now, jangan deh. Jangan (terlalu banyak) mikir pake hati. Kadang otak harus di dahuluin. Kadang otak benar, dan emang kadang hati salah. Oke, contoh deh. Contoh ekstrim. Seorang wantia (x) jatuh cinta sama pria ber istri (y). Bahasa gw geli bener yeh. Yah mari kita analisa hati dan otak si x. Hati..uda pasti mau nyoba jalanin relationship sama y even though y udah married. Hati bakalan kuat banget di kondisi kayak gini, especially for us, women. Soalnya emang berdasarkan penelitian, dari sananya, cewe lebih pake feeling, dan cowo lebih pake logic. Makanya mereka justru saling melengkapi. Anyway, back to x and y, otak si x pasti sadar kalo dia ga bisa terus2an suka sama si y. Apapun respon y, x tetep ga bisa berbuat apa2 kan. Kalo y respon balik, artinya x berperan dalam 'menjerumuskan y ke jurang neraka' (serem banget). Kalo y nolak.. x sakit ati juga pasti. Serba salah emang. Tapi paling salah buat gw kalo di kondisi kayak gini, si x ngikutin quotes di atas. Hancur dunia.
Well, mungkin contohnya trlalu ekstrim, itu juga bukan nyindir siapa2, yg kepikir cuma itu hahaa. Cuma mau ingetin aja, siapa tau ada yang lagi gundah gulana, sering bergulat antara hati sama otak, tapi kok kayaknya otak kalah terus, itu harus di perhatiin. Kadang harus abaikan hati, dan tetep ngikutin otak. Pelan2 asal sadar terus :)

Topik lain yang kepikiran, pernah gak sih bertanya2, gimana ya gw bisa ada di sini? How did I get here in the first place? Barusan gw jalan ke tram stop, abis dr uni, waktu jalan, gw sekilas bener2 ngerasa aneh gw bisa ada di melben. 5207 km jauhnya sama orang2 yang udah 18 taun mengisi hari2 gw (cie). Damn it's weird. Kenapa gw? Kok gw bs di tempat itu, saat itu? Tapi sekilas doang sih, sekarang sih udah mikirin mau dinner apa hahahaha. Otak manusia. Aneh ya.
Speaking of dinner, gw catering sekaraaangg :D yiha. Terus kemaren baru beli rice cooker gituuu (iya, sama berasnya). Jadi, rice cooker nya org sini agak unik, menurut gw. Itu tuh cuma kayak.. Bowl.. Ada tutupnya. Masukin nasi, air, microwave 14 menit, jadi. Gile yeee. Dan cuma $6an. Hahaha ga pake listrik yg ky d indo gituu hehe.. Prtama tau taun lalu sih, pas prtama dateng ke ruma tmen gw dsn. Dia uda punya gitu. Tapi bener2 takjub tadi siang. Di tinggal mandi, nasi jadi men di microwave. (Hip, di indo juga ada rice cooker kali. Yang bahkan ga masukin microwave. Yang jadi juga pas di tinggal mandi. Zzzzzzz)
SUDAH KAMIS! Tapi tugas gw banyak juga sih. Huh. Malas. Tp gpp deh. Mood akhir2 ini agak bagus :) enjoy the rest of the week! :D
Big smile! :)

Talking about unfairness
There are people who live in the street, those who work their ass off for a day just to get money to buy lunch, and those who have lost their family members and beloved ones. Meanwhile you have a house to live, enough food for a day, and numbers of family and friends there for you, man, that's unfair.
What makes you think that you deserve all that and those less fortunate people don't? Think about it. We are all humans. We breathe, we walk, talk, smell, and feel most of the same things. Is it really their fault so that they're living in that kind of situation where we live in a better one? What makes them deserve to live that way? Even more, what makes you think you deserve to live in the situation you're living in now?
I'm not talking about those who was rich, but greedy and mean so that they become poor. But I'm talking about those who really was in that condition since the day they were born. Did they ask for that? No, I don't think so.
So it won't harm you just to be thankful for everything you have right now. Even small things that you think is normal, like a normal leg, for example. When you have an extreme pain in your leg, you'll wish for a heathy one, won't you? So why not be thankful for the healthy one that you have right now?
Too much infoooo. Okay need to stop. Haha have a nice week yaaa. Weekend is coming soon! Btw I'm performing tomorrow at Indonesian Film Festival opening dinner with couple of friends. Wish us luck! :)

Nostalgia
Cukup tangguhkan dirimu untuk selalu kuandalkan
Mampukah kau bertahan dengan hidupku yang malang
Sanggupkah kau meyakinkan di saat aku bimbang
Celakanya hanya kaulah yang benar-benar aku tunggu
Hanya kaulah yang benar-benar memahamiku
Kau pergi dan hilang kemanapun kau suka
Celakanya hanya kaulah yang pantas untuk kubanggakan
Hanya kaulah yang sanggup untuk aku andalkan
Diantara pedih aku selalu menantimu
Seberapa Pantas - Sheila on 7
If you pay attention closely to the lyrics, you'll realize that it's beautiful, really. A thought crossed my mind that this song can really express how one loves a person, truly. How he (based on the singer, it's a 'he') can only depend on this girl (or guy? Lol! Just kidding). How he realizes that she's the one, how he finally can't get over her like he get over the others (probably). Well, even though I first listened to this song when I was in 3rd grade, it's still nice to hear now, on my 2nd year of uni. They're geniuses, really. Oh how I wish I could make a song this long lasting :)
Have a great week! Be happy! :D:D
By the way, I woke up this morning and found out so many people tweet(ed) #sexy last night. What happened? Lol. Well, just to add up a little bit, a guy who seems ignorant but quietly pay attention to little things is sooo sexy (to me; and it just happened) lol :)
Remember, BE HAPPY!

Never Underestimate
Mungkin contoh gw ga terlalu ekstrim. But I'm pretty sure kalian pernah ngalamin hal2 kayak gini. Terus, kadang kita juga dapet masalah tiba2 yang bikin kita sensi, bete setengah mati. Masih nyambung sama yg di atas, kmrn mlm gw ga bs alokasi kelas. Udah gw coba2, id gw ga bisa log in. Dan yang bikin keki, dari dulu bulan Mei, kami udah di pesenin, ga perlu alokasi kelas. Eh kemaren, tanpa pemberitahuan apa2, tiba2 di suruh alokasi kelas n dapetnya yang kelas sisa2 --" karena udah kesel+pasrah, gw email uni gw trs gw tinggal tidur. Yg mau gw ingetin, ga ada salahnya tiap ada masalah tuh kita doa. Bukan mau menyombongkan agama. Tapi kalo kita inget dan bergantung sama Tuhan masing2, percaya deh Dia bakal bantuin kita, even when we're sleeping. Tadi pagi gw dapet email dr uni, mreka bilang id gw ga kenapa2, dan udah bisa log in. Mungkin beberapa mikir: ah itu mah kbetulan aja kali.. Emang lu email mereka dan tugas mereka buat balesin n bantu lu. But I'm sorry, I'd rather believe that God put his work on this one too. No matter how ridiculously sickening situation you are in, never questioned God. He will help :)
Ah yah sudah. Semoga post ini bisa di baca dengan pikiran dan hati yang terbuka lebar :) happy wednesday, have a nice day!
