All Men Are Liar!

It was the first thing that went through my mind when I witnessed my colleague going out with another girl that was definitely not his girlfriend (because the girlfriend I know is currently abroad until July). It is really hard to witness that, not because I am close to any of them; yet it is so hard to think of my own relationship.

This couple is the meant-to-be-together kind of couple that has been going on for more than three years, yet now, the guy went out with another girl when his girlfriend is out of town.

Another friend has confessed to me that he has hurt a girl once. He was having this special relationship with his colleague when he was actually at the stage of getting married (and also when he just got married). He ended up hurting this girl so bad that this girl didn't want any kind of contact with him. I can fully understand.

Both of them stated similar thing "it's just for fun!"

Oh yeah, give me a break!

It is so hard to think of this real stories that happened really close to my life. I cannot help to think of my own relationship. I cannot help to be suspicious.

Some years a go, a good friend of mine mentioned similar thing "all men are like that. Even your boyfriend is most likely now going out with someone else while you are here!" It was his reaction when I said that I was sure that my long distance relationship had been very well, and I was sure that my boyfriend was faithful.

Do you think that all men are cheaters?

Do you think that all men wanna always have some fun?

To be honest I am still holding on to my opinion. I don't think all men are cheaters or liars. Yes, they are all tempted, just like all the women are. All men face similar battles, but I am sure every man has different approach to fight (or give in to) the battle.

Some men might see the battle as an "opportunity" to escape and have fun. Some might see the battle as a challenge that has to be fought and tackled. Some might see the battle as very normal and giving in. Some might see the battle as the villain that they have to destroy.

Thus, do not always think that all men are cheaters, but if you happen to meet one that are a cheater or a liar, just make sure never get involved with him.

I really need to thank this film called Jane Austen Book Club, which has shown me a hope. When I have pondered why men are such cheaters, and whether they were always like that, and whether my man is like that; this film showed that there are men that are really faithful, who would fight for his love. There are also men who might slipped away, but realised his mistake, apologised, and came back. They are also some men who are so clueless, but because of love, he was fighting for his relationship.

Hence this writing.

I hope this writing also gives hope to you.

FENOMENA ACEH 07

Daster Batik Pagi itu Nie datang ke kantor disambut oleh kumpulan ibu-ibu yang tidak jelas dari mana dan mau apa. “Assalamualaikum” sapa Nie. “Waalaikumsalam” jawab kumpulan ibu-ibu itu serempak. Nie menyunggingkan senyum, berusaha menampilkan senyum yang termanis untuk mereka. Semakin aku masuk ke dalam kantorku, semakin banyak ibu-ibu yang duduk lesehan di depan kantorku. Nie bergegas masuk ke ruangan admin, ada Hetty dan Wardah di sana. “Dah, kenapa ada ibu-ibu itu di situ?” Nie bertanya ke Wardah asal muasal ibu-ibu itu. “Oh, Pak Welly menugaskan karyawan kita yang di lapangan untuk mencari ibu-ibu yang membutuhkan sumbangan baju daster. Ibu-ibu korban tsunami. Ya itulah, bu, ibu-ibu yang akan diberikan sumbangan baju daster.” Nie mencermati kumpulan ibu-ibu itu. Ada yang masih muda belia, ada yang sudah tua, entah apa rambutnya sudah putih semua karena uban, atau disemir hitam mengkilap. Aku tak tahu, karena semua ibu-ibu menutupi auratnya, dari kepala sampai ujung kaki. Jadi k...

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...

God's Plan for My Slippers

Look at my cute slippers! Lucu banget, kan!  Slippers ini diberikan sebagai oleh-oleh, dari seorang sahabat yang pada saat itu baru pindah ke New Zealand . Kalau saya tidak salah, 4 atau 5 tahun lalu slippers ini diberikan. Saya adalah orang yang practical . Boro-boro pakai slippers di rumah, sandal jepit biasa pun tidak! Di dalam rumah, kami biasa nyeker alias tidak pernah pakai sandal. Jadi si slippers domba Selandia Baru yang baru ini resmi menjadi penunggu lemari baju. Setelah Axl lahir dan beranjak sedikit dewasa, slippers ini ditemukan tanpa sengaja. Axl suka sekali dan kerap memainkan slippers ini. Namun lagi-lagi, setelah beberapa minggu, si domba kembali menjadi penunggu lemari. Anak balita itu sangat gampang bosan! Sampai 1 bulan yang lalu. Di salah satu tempat ngantor saya yang baru, saya harus bekerja di ruangan yang super dingin! Tiba-tiba, saya teringat akan slippers domba ini! Ternyata benar, slippers ini bisa menghangatkan kaki saya dengan sempurna. D...
