Small talk with Ismail about cooking healthy foods
- I: How old are you?
- R: I'm 20
- I: And you can't cook?! So you get married or learn to cook?
- R: *without thinking* Learn to cook!
Mungkin kita sama-sama tau, tapi kita tidak bisa satu. Maybe you were my better half! But I chose to stay the same. Tapi di penghujung hari aku selalu mempertanyakan diriku sendiri tentang kabarmu, mengulik percakapan terakhir kita, lalu, aku kembali ke kalimat kedua dan ketiga. Dan imajinasiku tentang reaksimu dari perpisahan tanpa kata-kata.
Apa kabar? Tetap semangat dan bersenang-senanglah.
Jangan heran jika kuterdiam dihadapanmu. Bukan menahan pilu. Aku sedang menyelam di indah kedua bola matamu. Ada lautan luas yang teduh. Tempat aku berenang, tanpa harus takut tenggelam. Dan ternyata kata-kata terpenting itu justru terucap di saat aku menatapmu di dalam hening. Tak perlu kau menjawabnya, tatap saja mataku. Itulah justru kalimat tak tertulis yg aku pahami :’)
Semoga kau mengerti lalu memahami untuk memaklumi. Sehingga kau tetap mampu menatapku, dan dalam ketelanjanganku, kau masih menyimpulkan senyum manismu.

Lesson learned: Do not expect too much of anything. Let it be. Let it flow. Let it go. Be surprised, not disappointed. What matters more, may not be as important and good for your…..mental health?
The difference between Holland and the Netherlands. Funny, yet a cool one. Now we know that ‘Belanda’ is ‘the Netherlands’ in English ;-P
Nobody said it was easy.
Kita
Merindukanmu adalah bagian terburuk dari cerita kita. Ketika aku merindu dan kau tak pernah tau, aku merindu dan aku terlalu malu, atau aku merindu dan kau tak bisa bertemu. Aku selalu siap menyisihkan waktuku untukmu.
Memilikimu akan menjadi mimpi paling ideal yang pernah ada. Berkelana bersama, menonton drama romansa yang anehnya selalu membuat kita tertawa, atau hanya sekedar mengucapkan selamat pagi sedetik setelah kita kembali terjaga. Menyedihkan.
Mungkin ini yang orang-orang kata. Atau cuma satu fase yang terlalu signifikan, sampai perbedaannya tak kasat mata. Tapi aku memilih untuk menjadi pengkhayal menyedihkan.
Brilliant.
The Story by Mobstr
This put a smile on my face. Continuing on from Mobstr’s “Playing With The Buff Man” series, The Story tells the tale of the on going dance between the artist and the so called “Buff Man” as they both fight for control over the wall.
- Him: Have you ever been in love?
- Her: I don't know. I've told people I love them. But I'm not sure if I was really in love. You know?
- Him: Yeah . . .
- Her: How about you?
- Him: Only once.
- Her: How did you know you were in love?
- Him: Because when I was lying next to her in bed, I never wanted to leave, but it was also never enough.
- Her: What do you mean?
- Him: I didn't want to do anything else other than stay in bed with her, but I wanted more . . . to be closer to her.
- Her: So what did you do?
- Him: I pulled her closer to me and held her tighter. But it still wasn't enough. And then I had this thought in my mind of unzipping my body, from head to toe, putting her inside me, and then zipping myself up again. The idea of it gave me peace. I also thought I was crazy. But that's how I knew.
- Her: Knew what?
- Him: That I was in love.
I wanna glide down over mulholland. I wanna write her name in the sky. Gonna free fall out into nothin’. Gonna leave this world for a while.
Lawan
Jilati ludahmu, resapi amis dan picik serapahmu. Rasakan gengsimu runtuh menimpa arogansi yg lebih dulu melepuh dan busuk. Tak ada parfum yang bisa menutupi bangkaimu. Kau mati, dan hanya mati. Kau mati dan tak ada yang mau peduli.

Steve McCurry’s epic photodocumentation of children all over the world, for National Geographic
“Safety and security don’t just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear. There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.”
—Nelson Mandela

Satu
Kau membalikkan langit, menggemuruh, tak berangin, tak berjejak. Seakan-akan tak ada usai. Sunyi dan ujung yg tak terkenali, lagi, kamu mengemasnya menarik, mengundang misteri.
Dan aku, yang mengamatimu, diam-diam terperosok dalam jurangmu, yang kau gali semakin dalam sembari kau menyimpulkan bibirmu, manis, menang, pilu. Tanpa ada alternatif, kita menikmati ilusi musim semi.
