MERRY CHRISTMAS

i miss those times when people exchange christmas card.
think it was more personal and sincere than today's twitter greeting.
well but i'm one of many persons using it last night and today.
happy christmas, anyway.

biarlah tulisan kali ini jadi seperti catatan harian. seperti si boy yang sekadar berbagi cerita kurang penting.

ceritanya kemarin siang ibu menelepon pada jam kerja untuk mengingatkan makan siang. tak berapa lama setelah ibu menutup telepon, giliran bu boss yang menelepon anaknya yang sudah kepala tiga, sudah punya rumah sendiri, dan sudah punya perusahaan sendiri. seperti ibu saya, bu boss juga hanya mengecek keadaan anaknya.

lucu juga rasanya. sepetinya hati 11 dari 10 ibu diisi oleh anaknya.

selamat hari ibu.

it was like playing hide and seek

some part of me hid hole and corner

the other part cried to be found

it is as if i were real

one day i'd like to have a studio-like room. it'll be filled with many different stuff.

on a corner, i'll cover the wall with mirror so i can stretch my body as if i were a ballerina.

i will add some musical instruments. i'll pretend to play the piano or guitar as if i were on stage.

one side of the wall will be my canvas where i can paint anything as if i were a true artist.

then i'll make a small cubicle and turn it into a darkroom, so i can proceed the picture i took as if i were a pro.

also i'll install a computer with a big flat screen, not just a mini laptop. i will see the outer world as if i were locked in a cave.

i will have shelves of books and bunches of papers, so i can read or write or doodle as if i have nothing else to do.

when i'm tired, i'll just lay down on my bamboo rug, as if i were dead.

i hate monday

saya teringat masa-masa sekolah di mana saya lumayan sering salah seragam. seringnya saya salah memakai seragam putih padahal bukan hari senin. kesalahan bodoh itu selalu terjadi kalau ada libur yang masuknya saat pertengahan minggu. otomatis saya mencomot seragam putih-putih dari lemari sejak malam sebelumnya. saya selalu berpikir pendek, 'kalau hari ini libur, berarti besoknya ya senin.' sempit ya otak ini...

there's a reason why being alone is a pleasure.

it is time when you may care for yourself without caring about anything else.
