Still Into You

: for you,

Laptop sudah hendak kumatikan saat kuterima pesan dari pacarku yang berkata hendak menjemputku. Ketika tiba tiba sesuatu mengingatkanku akan dirimu.
Mungkin kau sudah jenuh dengan tangisanku, aku tahu itu.
Dan helaan nafasku kali ini pun mengingatkanku bahwa sesungguhnya kau tak akan mau melihatku begini sedih.
Aku terhenyak ketika teringat bahwa sungguh masih banyak kata yang tak terungkap, masih banyak harapan yang tetap jadi harapan, pun saat ku membulatkan tekad memilih dia; ketika hatiku mantap berkata "memang dia".
Teringat ketika terakhir kau berkata bahwa kau mencintaiku, di sela helaan nafasmu yang sulit itu. Saat itu pun aku yakin "bukan sekarang" saat itu aku yakin kau akan tetap ada.
terkadang ketikaku merindumu, aku terpaksa harus mencari memori lama kita dalam lemari pakaianmu, di sana kau selipkan banyak foto foto kita.

kau, seseorang yang tak bisa kugambarkan dengan kata kata indahku, bahkan di saat bahagiaku semakin dekat.
kau, orang yang sesungguhnya paling kuingini berada di sini saat aku mulai ragu, benarkah pilihanku? saat aku butuh keyakinan bahwa kau mendukungku.

Dear Daddy,
I may find a Prince someday,
but you will always be my King.
-anonim-



Papa, aku hanya ingin kau ada di pernikahanku kelak; hanya ingin kau datang mendukung setiap pilihan pilihan yang aku ambil; menenangkan ketika aku kalut.. aku takut...

Why My Son (or Daughter) is An Introvert? A Guide for Parent


Today, most of our parents are busy. They go to work almost every day from morning until night (sometime they go abroad or out of town). They do not have enough time to play or even meet their children. They go to work when their children still sleep and come back home when they (again) on the bedroom already.

On the other hand, children want to share what they have done at school or their favorite friends or teachers but parents are not there. Some of parents nowadays, they leave their sons or daughters with nanny.
 That condition causes a gap between parents and their children. The children will not have any chance to share their experiences, their feelings, their emotions. Then parents will be too late to realize that their children need more than money and nanny.
 It won’t be happen if parents start to have quality time with the children.
First, appreciate their works or their art works. It will be their pleasure even parents just say “nice works darling”, etc because they need compliment that motivates them. Compliments make them want to give the best for parents on the next day.
Second, try to spend quality time to play with the children or if parents are too tired to play at least talk and ask them what they were doing at school or their activities during the day. They love to talk and tell what they have done at school, as long as parents give their ‘ears’ to ‘HEAR’ their sons or daughters. Be a good listener ;)
Third, be on their bedroom to say goodnight before they go to sleep, kiss them and say “love you”. If possible, parents can lead their sons or daughter to pray before they sleep and ask them to take turn on the next day.
Slow but sure, children will have the feeling “my parents love me lot, so why should I be so introvert? I will share my feelings or activities today”.
Start to do, before it is too late to start.


Goodluck.

On The Rooftop

"Bahagia itu sederhana, rasanya seperti yang di rasakan seorang anak kecil yang girang kesenangan karena berhasil menerbangkan layang-layangnya." *my own quote*

...
Hari ini, saya dan Mrs. Natalie mengajak anak anak satu kelas bermain layangan di 'rooftop' sekolah. Tema pelajaran tentang, air, agin dan udara membuat kami berpikir untuk mengajak anak-anak bersenang senang sejenak setelah mengerjakan soal soal matematika pemberian kami.
Awalnya, anak-anak itu ragu, bahkan tak mau berpanas-panasan, tapi kemudian setelah melihat kami gurunya asyik menerbangkan layangan, mereka langsung berebut giliran memegang kendali layang-layang.
Kami, tertawa senang melihat mereka memancarkan bahagia pagi tadi.

Berikut gambar-gambar yang terambil kamera saya, enjoy:

"friend, help me to fly this kite please"

wajah lelah tapi bahagia

Saya dan Mrs. Natalie senang dan puas. Meskipun bermandikan peluh, tapi anak-anak senang.
Seperti kalimat pembuka saya di atas, rasanya bahagia memang sesederhana itu. 
Atau, jika belum pernah tau rasanya girang karena layangan terbang tinggi, cobalah membuat orang lain girang, itu juga bahagia.

Selamat berbahagia
dan happy weekend
