Who's your hero?


Selesai baca novel Cintapuccino, Aku jadi termenung lama, cukup lama untuk kembali mencerna setiap scene kehidupanku, setiap kepingan cerita dalam kisahku dengan Mr. obsession,...

Satu pertanyaanku, which one is better, to fight or to surrender?

Atau, I will put it differently, yang mana yang lebih baik, menjadi pahlawan yang berjuang sampai titik darah penghabisan atau jadi pahlawan yang rela berkorban? The point is they are both heroes, but what kind of hero?

Dalam cerita Cintapuccino, Raka menyerah begitu saja setelah tahu bahwa Nimo ternyata juga uda ‘ngefans’ ama Rahmi-nya sejak dulu, en Rahmi pun juga terobsesi akan Nimo selama sepuluh tahun.

Raka menyerah. Dia ngerasa uda kalah duluan, kalah sebelum perang, menurutku. Tapi, bisa juga disebut rela berkorban. Dia rela Rahmi memilih dan mendapatkan yang terbaik dalam hidupnya.

On the other hand, Nimo yang ngga tau malu itu mengejar-ngejar Rahmi terus, berjuang sampai titik darah penghabisan, walaupun Rahmi udah bakalan bertunangan. Nimo bisa juga dibilang pahlawan yang berjuang terus, pantang menyerah.

Menurutmu, mana yang lebih bisa dibilang ‘cowok’ – lelaki sejati?

Apakah Raka bisa dibilang ‘cowok’ karena dia rela berkorban untuk Rahminya? Apakah kamu malah berpikir Raka adalah laki-laki yang ngga punya nyali karena dia udah kalah sebelum perang? (sambil gregetan teriak,… “laki-laki goblok!”) Apakah kamu berpikir kalo Raka seharusnya berjuang mendapatkan Rahminya kembali, lagian si Rahmi kan emang udah milih Raka dari Nimo-nya?

Or, kamu malah berpikir Nimo-lah laki-laki sejati itu? Apakah kamu berpikir kalau Nimo tuh hebat banget karena dia tidak peduli apapun pokoknya dia mau berjuang untuk mendapatkan yang dia inginkan? Apa kamu malah bepikir kalau Nimo laki-laki kurang ajar karena dia telah mengganggu rumah tangga orang lain apalagi mengingat status Rahmi saat itu yang sudah hampir bertunangan? (sambil misuh-misuh,... cowok brengsek!)

Either way, it is your choice. But for me, neither of those pricks are worth it.

Now I am wondering, is my boyfriend the real hero for me?

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho

The unexpected wedding

Almost every girl has ever dreamt of her wedding day – what she would wear, who would come, who the prince charming is. I would say, every girl must have a certain expectation and standard when it comes to a wedding: it could be grand, small celebration, family only, destination wedding – you name it. My dream wedding happens to me a small, close friends and family only wedding. If you grew up in the 90s, you would know a boy band called 98 degree. They had a song titled ‘I do’. If you search on YouTube, you will find the video clip, which shows a beautiful wedding ceremony. That’s my dream wedding! My whole life, I was picturing that. Twelve years ago, I started dating this guy, who is now my husband. His family background is very different than mine. Among other things – which we thankfully have tolerated and worked on – the way to throw a wedding party is totally different. His dream wedding party is ‘tell the world I am getting married’-kind of party. Yes, he wanted grand

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live
