Checking in

Yeaap! it's me, checking into this abandoned blog.

Been ages since I last post anything here.
Much been going on.
Still at the embassy with all the craps and flowers.

Was looking at my niece's pictures on my phone..
got me thinking.

Life is a series of baby steps,
taken in tiny stumbling movements.
I just hope that by the time we finally learn to 'get it right',
our backs aren't bent, hair hasn't greyed and eyesights haven't worn off.

Tragedy, or comedy, depending how you see it.
So I try hard to remember, remember why Im here on earth,
why I do the things I do,
say the things I say.

Some seek religious escapism, trusting in a Godly figure of some kind.
Many cannot decide, refuse to decide,
calling themselves 'agnostics', or 'discoverers'....

others choose science, skeptical to the very end,
.... and yet working so hard to 'get the facts' sorted out - except, alas, the facts are never facts, the truth is never truth - each time, something occurs - it seems real, and then that wisp of reality floats away as if in a dream.

The past catches up with you so quickly,
you forget you're actually living in the present.
And the future? Sometimes it doesn't ever seem to make sense.
... but strangely, I feel reallllyyy good about the future.
Somehow I know it'll turn out alright.

Ah.. baby steps,
they can be taken in pure discovery.
pure wonder.
... choosing to feel and excavate every sensation,
every breath.
every pebble with awe.
opening our eyes again and again to the constant resurrection of the new world.

We're living in a world and reality of deaths, yes.
.. but we so often forget, this is also a renewing world of births.
I thought it was wondrous to remind myself of that.

Shh… in the heat, the universe is telling you something.
Can't you hear? ;)

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
