Perlukah bilang sayang?

Kalau kamu sayang sama seseorang, peri peri mat (very very much), dan orang itu actually tahu kalo kamu sayang sama dia. Menurutmu, perlu ngga bilang kalau kamu sayang dia? Perlu ngga mention again and again kalau kamu bener-bener sayang sama dia?

"Ah, dia pasti uda tahu lah, kan aku nunjukin rasa sayangku lewat perbuatan." Itulah kata seseorang yang saya kenal.


Ada lagi yang bilang "Aduh, Nie, gue nih uda pacaran bertahun-tahun. Dari jaman kita masih cinta monyet, uda jutaan kali gue bilang kalo gue sayang ama dia. Sekarang ya kayaknya uda ga perlu lagi lah! Kalo gue ga sayang ama pacar gue, ya gue ga pacaran ama dia sekarang."

Hm,... interesting thought.

"Yeah, itu bukan suatu kebutuhan. Kalo pengen ngomong ya ngomong. Kalo emang lagi ga mood, kalo gue lagi capek, ya sebodo amat! Ngga penting lah!" gitu komentar (implicitly) teman jalan saya tadi malam.

Hm,... good point of view.


Kalau menurut Nie, yang mungkin mewakili sejumlah perempuan lain di dunia, ucapan kata 'sayang' itu sangat penting. Mungkin kita uda ratusan, ribuan, bahkan jutaan kali mendengar kata 'Aku sayang kamu' atau 'I love you' atau buat wong jowo, 'kula tresna panjenengan'. Tapi, setiap kali mendengarnya, sepertinya ada assurance bahwa ada orang yang sayaaaang banget sama kita.


Buat Nie, setiap moment terucapnya kata magic itu, selalu berharga. Kadang Nie yang lagi cemberut bisa mulai tersenyum. Kadang Nie yang lagi bad mood bisa sedikit bersemangat. Kadang Nie yang lagi gembira jadi feeling romantic kalau mendengarnya. Entah ada khasiat apa di dalam kata-kata itu, yang pasti setiap Nie mendengarnya, Nie gembira.

Ya, perempuan memang kadang aneh, tapi boleh dicoba khasiat kata-kata sayang ini. Emang perbuatan dan tindakan juga penting. Kalau cuma kata-kata cinta aja, plus rayuan gombal, yang diucapkan, kami, para perempuan juga eneg. Yet, kalau perbuatan dibarengi dengan kata-kata sayang yang diucapkan secara continuous, akan membuat hubungan makin harmonis (ciee,.. Nie uda kayak counselor pernikahan aja neh!)

So, do it more often, peepz. It doesn't hurt, does it? Dan buat para pria, jangan pernah bilang "aku terlalu capek untuk bilang sayang hari ini" atau "aku lagi ngga mood", karena mengucapkan 3 kata 'Aku Sayang Kamu' rasanya tidak sedikit pun mengurangi kalori atau mengurangi jam tidur Anda.

Bukan begitu?

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...
