Pahlawan

Setiap orang adalah pahlawan. Entah bagi orang lain ataupun bagi dirinya sendiri. Setiap orang adalah pahlawan. Mereka berjuang menolak untuk menyerah.

Pahlawan bukanlah mereka yang memiliki kekuatan luar biasa dan menguasai dunia dengannya. Namun mereka yang berani menggunakan kelebihannya untuk berkorban.

Tentang Menengok Rumput Tetangga

Sebentar lagi saya ulang tahun. Ya, pokoknya sebentar lagi. Entah di mana, saya pernah membaca bahwa pada saat bayi manusia membutuhkan tidur yang terbanyak, sekitar 16 jam. Semakin tua, jam tidur akan semakin berkurang. Itu katanya - ada penelitiannya dan sebagainya. Saya membaca artikel tersebut sambil lalu, tetapi saya mulai merasakannya, terutama akhir-akhir ini. Rasa-rasanya sulit sekali jatuh tertidur di malam hari. "Pola makan kali... ", "Makanya olah raga dong...", "Doa, biar hati tenang...", "Ngitung domba coba...", "Aroma terapi...", "Musik-musik yoga..."

Some dedicated some bored staffs. Angels. God of Death. All of the elements are deliberately or not, directly or not, related to life and death. The atmosphere inside is always unique. Mixed of happiness, sadness, hope, desperation, passion, anger, frustration, believing... As I lie down on a hospital bed, I am wondering. How many people died on this bed? How many people survived?

Graduated

So finally I realized that it was already 2 years ago, the last time I wrote in my blog. I noticed that the last time I wrote was by the time I entered the Grad School. I graduated. I attained my M.A. and now I work as a development worker. Many things happened in 2 years (I cant believe it's just 2 years, it feels like forever). This blog will still be my semi-autobiography. I tell stories that people may or may not want to hear (sorry bout that). I promise someone that I am gonna publish at least a book, in my life. Since this recent time has been quite still, flowing with no significant wave, I will start to write again. I hope.
