Entri terakhir: untuk Yoana Vennezia

Waktu itu tak berujung. Kita hidup di satu masa. Awalnya, lagu Akad oleh Payung Teduh terasa tidak relevan, setidaknya bagiku. Maksudnya, terlalu banyak muda-mudi kebelet nikah yang dengan sengaja meneriakkan lagu itu ke telinga orang. Memang, musiknya mudah didengar dan ringan. Tapi, kupikir liriknya tidak sekuat lagu Untuk Perempuan yang Sedang di Pelukan. Tapi, hari ini, lagu Akad seperti tiba-tiba merasuki aku. Tapi, aku gak menye-menye; aku tidak kebelet nikah, aku tetap sama. Tapi, entah mengapa lirik yang ringan itu cocok untuk meningat kamu, Yo. Aransemen musiknya tidak menyedihkan, tapi menyenangkan. Mungkin, sudah seharusnya itu yang aku, Tane, Iki dan yang lain rasakan. Kami gak perlu sedih soal kepergianmu itu. Kami, seharusnya, mengingat hidupmu itu, Yo. Hidupmu itu layak kami apresiasi setinggi-tingginya. Kamu sudah bantu aku berubah. Tahu gak? Aku gak pernah nangis di pemakaman, Yo. Tapi, kemarin aku seperti tidak kenal siapa aku. Dinding dan tampilan tangguh ya

Foolish Glamor

Into the city,
I have gone
Walk down the road,
On my own

In its’ heart there lies,
A huge building made of stone
Filled with people,
Mostly young and glamorous

The young look like zombies,
Walking down with their phones
Wearing fancies,
Never forget their selfies

I have seen the young in the parks,
In the bench they kiss
Even in schools,
They kiss

I have seen a young man,
With so many earrings,
Pierced in his ears
His face, it is too pale to see

I have seen a young lady,
Wearing beautiful dress
Made from the hide of the dead,
Held her chins high

They do not know,
The deceased forefathers
They do not know,
The tongues of the old

They do not care,
The people on welfare
They do not care,
The war affair

They are walking,
They look dead
For they forget,
That ignorance is not a bliss..






My thanks to my friend Hannah for the template.

As a Good Friend..

Cinta segitiga adalah permasalahan dalam hubungan kekinian yang cukup pelik, contohnya; lo punya teman deket yang bernama budi dan gebetan/crush namanya si susi, lo cinta susi, sedangkan susi cinta budi, dan diujung, budi cinta lo - eh si susi maksudnya. Cukup pelik, bukan? Nah, oleh karena itu dalam postingan ini, gue bakal merubah pandangan lo terhadap cinta segitiga ini. Bukan bermaksud menggurui, cuma kemarin malam gue belajar sesuatu dan akan menceritakan dari awal. Jadi, untuk pertama kalinya gue punya “twitter crush” namanya si Susi (nama sesuaikan contoh biar gampang, dan biar crush gue nya gak ngambek), sedangkan si Susi mau suka ke sohib gue sendiri, Budi (tapi disini Budi kagak suka gue). Sebagai jomblo yang ambisius, gue berambisi untuk dapetin hati si Susi, smsan, mention, DM, segala macem komunikasi gue coba. Masalah utama gue ini, si Susi sama Budi satu sekolah, di SMAN 71 Kalahari, sedangkan gue sekolahnya di SMKN 69 Corleone, jadi gue dan Susi gak pernah ketemu. Aw

To my friend, Grace

I got the name from the Woodlanders. I named you after the character not because you look or act like her, but the name suits you well. By the way, I'm writing this letter just to say goodbye, I can't think of another way because I'm scared shitless and to be honest I don't know what to do. Anyway, it's hard to write a letter like this. Well, goodbyes aren't easy I think, but I just want to give it a shot. First of all, I don't want you to get on the wrong foot, and I don't mean to give you flashbacks or something. I just had a long day and I thought of you. I thought of my mistakes. Then, I remembered how much of a friend I was or am. I was and probably still am not a good friend. So, let's begin with our first contact. I remember I just broke up when you first contacted me. I was hurt. I told you to back off. Well, looking back I realized it wasn't the friendliest welcome, but I was trying.. not to hurt people by hurting them in the fir
