Belated Birthday Note

Sometimes life offers you so many stories to write, so many chances to get, so many wounds to be healed, and so many people to be loved.

And at this point, after the 19th trip of me surviving around the sun, I know that the best way to live this damn life is to laugh.

Laugh at those heartbreaks, laugh at the stupidity, laugh at those silly things I've ever done, laugh at those twisted games that got me black and blue, laugh at this goddamn universe...

And also, be grateful.

Be grateful because God still let me have so many people to laugh with...

Have many people to cry with...

Have many people to argue with...

And have many people to share life, love, happiness, fear, and the excitement of this bitchy life.

I never know how or when this journey will end.

Yet somehow I believe that I still have a long, winding road to walk.

Ini buku lama banget dan boleh dapet dari bazaar buku Gramedia LOL.

But hey, Sophie Kinsella is a great writer though. I knew her from "Confessions of Shopaholic" (I read and watched the movie). Honestly I'm just not that into Kinsella's or Meg Cabot's, and I'm just more into Linda Howard's or Sandra Brown's, but this book is just so amazing (and makes me think that I should read more chicklits).

Poppy Wyatt was engaged with a perfect man, Magnus Travish. Magnus proposed to marry her and gave her a beautiful ring. But due to some champagnes she got drunk, and the ring was lost. So Poppy looked for it like crazy because she was going to meet Magnus's parents. Her phone was lost too, and surprisingly on a trash, she found a phone! She took and used it. But Sam Roxton, the owner of the phone, wanted his phone back. So after those witty negotiations, they shared the phone.

I love this book because Kinsella is so smart of making funny dialogues, great narration, and twisted plot. This book told us that sometimes some things that we think are best for us, actually not. But universe will tell us in so many ways, and all we have to do is to find the signs. Someday we have to choose spontaneously, to get our own happiness (like Poppy, who has fallen in love right before her wedding). And this book teaches us how not to be afraid to take chance and be proud of ourselves.

And for Heaven's sake, I love Sam Roxton!!!! XD

Karena Sialnya

Karena sialnya, jika maju aku takut akan pilu, dan jika mundur pun terlalu merindu.

Bagaikan menjejak runtuh lalu melesak jatuh.

Enggan berharap tapi tak henti meratap.

Hanya diam tergugu, menatap tak jemu hingga hati membiru.

Tersenyum pahit di setiap bayangan, memaki sendu di setiap ingatan.

Masih

Aku melepas dengan hati

Berharap tidak terikat lagi

Tapi kau tidak juga menepi

Dan asaku enggan akan sepi

Kadang datang, kadang pergi

Masih merindu, masih menunggu

Mungkin sampai harapku mati

Mungkin sampai lukaku sembuh sendiri.

Bandongan

Mengaji bandongan itu bukan hanya tentang memaknai kitab bahasa arab

Tapi tentang transfer ilmu paling ampuh

Melalui mekanisme bebas tanpa dogma, tanpa kurikulum

Tentang menerima suntikan semangat dan motivasi

Melalui pengalaman-pengalaman yang diceritakan

Melalui celotehan dan gurauan sarat pelajaran

Rindu

Aku merindukanmu,

Di setiap hela tarikan napas

Di setiap  lirikan yang penuh tanya

Di tengah-tengah air mata ataupun tangis bahagia...

Aku benar-benar merindukanmu.

Mungkin Kami...

Mungkin kami memang masih kebanyakan dosa. Mungkin kami memang tidak terlalu mampu. Mungkin kami memang tidak berpengalaman. Mungkin kami memang tidak berhak untuk mendapatkannya.

Atau mungkin, kami memang masih belum bisa ikhlas beramal.

Rada pedih sih, Tuhan. Tapi toh humor-Mu selalu berkesan untuk dinikmati.

Saya Ngantuk, Ya Allah

Kapan Ramadhan di Krapyak Lagi?

Sahur ngantri sambil keliyengan gegara nyawa belom ngumpul...
Subuhan sambil ngangguk-ngangguk gara-gara ngantuk berat...
Nyatet kultum tulisannya udah nggak karuan dengan niat yang penting ngumpulin...
Ngaji kitab di musholla pake bawa-bawa bantal...
Nonton FTV atau MV Korea disela-sela pergantian ngaji kitab...
Sore-sore ngebarisin piring biar dapet katering buat buka...
Jalan-jalan sore sampe Jogokariyan niatnya nyari takjil doang eh yang dibeli makanan yang banyaknya cukup ampe 3 hari gara-gara laper mata...
Buka puasa rame-rame abis itu langsung ngerumpi lagi mentang-mentang udah buka...
Dateng teraweh paling belakangan biar dapet di luar...
Sholat teraweh sistemnya kaya puasa 'Daud'...
Abis teraweh langsung ngetep tempat 'strategis' buat ngaji kitab soalnya ngaji kitabnya bareng santri putra...
Ngaji kitab ada yang bawa jajan se kresek biar nggak ngantuk...
Selesai ngaji kitab langsung marathon film atau MV Korea yang kaga bosen-bosen diputer... saaaampe sahur.

Kami memang santri klowor. 😊

Entahlah

"Bagaimana?" tanya mereka waktu itu

"Entahlah," jawabku

Bahkan aku yang terlibat tidak tahu ini apa

Karena saat aku memutuskan untuk berhenti mengejar, kau juga mungkin memutuskan untuk berhenti berlari

Tetapi kau tidak kembali, dan aku pun sudah terlalu lelah untuk berjalan lagi

Hanya mencoba mengatur napas kesabaran, mencoba mengobati perih yang tidak mau diabaikan

Hingga kini, di sini lah kita, terpisah jarak yang sama-sama tak ingin kita pedulikan

Hanya saling melambaikan tangan dan tertawa bodoh, entah sampai kapan.
