“Baru ‘ingin’ masuk syurga; baru ingin…”

Jadi, ceritanya, Ramadhan 1430H kemarin saya mengambil banyak waktu untuk merenung. Dalam perjalanan saya ke luar Bandung, mengurus pekerjaan (sekalian jalan-jalan, heue…), saya mendapat kesempatan untuk memeriksa kembali diri saya, batin saya, hati saya, perjalanan hidup saya, dan juga harapan-harapan saya.

Kenapa Nasi dan Ayam Goreng Sih?

Jadi, mereka jauh-jauh datang ke sini hanya untuk memesan nasi dan ayam goreng?

Tiba-tiba saja pikiran itu melintas di kepala saya. Saat itu saya sedang duduk bersama adik saya di salah satu restoran cepat-saji, yang katanya, restoran ‘khas Amerika’ (demi kesopanan, saya tidak akan menyebutkan

Meretas Masa Depan, Menjejak Masa Kini

Apa sih gunanya menuliskan cerita-cerita dari hari kita?

Ada yang hilang dari hari-hari saya ketika saya tidak menulis di jurnal harian saya.

Kalau dihitung-hitung, sejak tahun 2009, yang saya lakukan adalah menempel tiket bioskop, bon pembelian, bon restoran, tiket perjalanan, dan tempelan-tempelan lainnya, yang menandakan peristiwa-peristiwa berkesan dari hari-hari saya.

Saya kadang merasa kehilangan. Tapi lebih sering merasa kalau menuliskan kegiatan harian itu tidak terlalu penting lagi sekarang. Entahlah, kadang rindu menulis, kadang tidak.

Kesibukan menelan saya. Dan saya kehilangan tempat untuk bercerita tentang hal-hal yang (mungkin) hanya saya yang mengerti.

Blog saya biarkan selama berbulan-bulan. Padahal blog adalah tempat terbaik untuk berbagi cerita tentang saya di dunia maya. Hhhhh…., jadi kangen menulis lagi.

Mudah-mudahan ini jadi awal.

It’s Me…

I just blogwalking to some of my friends’ and found this personality quiz. Well, it’s quite accurate. Bellow is my quiz-result. Why don’t you try it too?

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend – you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

(Is it?)

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

(Hmmm?)

The right job for you: You’re a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life.

(What if I don’t have a steady job?)

How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don’t succeed. Don’t give up when you haven’t yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It’s time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
