Sometimes people criticise you. Sometimes they're talking behind your back with their misleading interpretation. Sometimes people just see what they want to see, and hear what the want to hear--since fact is overrated. Sometimes people just simply hate you. That's life. And we're not living to fulfil all the expectations, yet make people like us. Sometimes we just need to ignore. That's life.

This blog will be hiatus for the next 10 days (or more). See you when I see you! X

Do you remember when we connected by friendster ? There wa s a bulletin board , and there was a time when people wrote question and tag other people so they should ga ve the answer. The o ther game on bulletin board wa s answering question b y song title ( they asked you to put your ipod on shuffle, and the title of the music played was used to answer the question). The office is a b it lazy at the end of the week. So I decide to play shuffle. Well, I just create it to overcome boredom. Actually I want to tag people, but then I decide not to do that. I don't want people to feel oblige. But if you are interested to play this, please do tell me. I will be happy for a new music referenc e! The Rule : -P ut your ipod (or any kind of music player you have) on shuffle, and write down the first 20 music played. -Choose 5 of your favorite from the list, and make comment about it. It's not should be about the music, you c ould write anything. -Don't forget to put the musi

 In the US everybody is so obsessed with sex.  Obsessed? Yeah, obsessed. Not equally obsessed in all over the place, but in Florida they are. They try to always explore new ideas about sex, you know, like how to define sex, but then it was just the same idea. D ude, you already talk about that, now you just put a different name on i t . They become so obsessed by finding a new idea. You know, trying to be progressive. Like trying too hard to be progressive? Yeah, trying too hard to find new idea and be progressive. How hard is too hard? How hard is too hard? Yeah. You know like how much until you call it trying too hard? You tell me. No, I ask you. I want to know your opinion. Too hard is... Let’s say at first you have an idea, but not anymore. After sometime, you got too engage with the idea, the idea own you, not you own the idea. It caught you. The idea define you, the idea tell you how to react, how to act. And you can’t escape fro

Aku iseng membuka statistik blog, selama dua tahun blog ini ada, tulisan yang paling banyak dikunjungi adalah “ Aku tumbuh sembari membenci payudara ”. Sayangnya kebanyakan key word yang mengantarkan pembaca adalah: payudara anak sd, tetek anak sd, payudara anak smp, guru punya toket. Mengerikan sekali membayangkan ada om-om tambun umur 49 tahun yang sedang masturbasi sambil mencari-cari gambar telanjang payudara anak kelas 6 SD yang mungkin baru berusia 10 tahun. Lebih mengerikan lagi kalau akhirnya dia tidak hanya masturbasi di depan gambar, tetapi benar-benar melakukan pelecehan seksual. Dan ini sudah banyak terjadi. (Maka sekali lagi aku bilang ke laut aja ustad-ustad yang selalu nyalahin tubuh perempuan, harus dibegini-begitukan, seolah tutup mata bahwa porno itu tergantung otaknya masing-masing.) Selain makin menegaskan bahwa ada banyak pola pikir yang harus diubah , statistik tersebut menunjukan bahwa pornografi harus dilokalisasi, bukan dihapus. Toh buktin

Setelah lama ga rusuh yang agak heboh, nama FPI kembali mencuat di media pada 18 Juli 2013. Kerusuhan FPI bab Kendal ini memakan dua nyawa, seorang perempuan dan bayi dalam kandungnya diseret mobil yang digunakan FPI.  Banyak versi soal kerusuhan. Warga bilang kerusuhan terjadi lantaran warga tidak terima FPI yang main sweeping wilayah yang disebut sebagai lokalisasi. Meski tempat yang dimaksud memang wilayah perjudian dan prostitusi, warga menilai FPI bukanlah aparat keamanan, sehingga seharusnya tidak berhak atas tindakan demikian. Namun FPI berkeras mereka sedang melakukan pawai simpatik (apalah itu pawai simpatik?), ketika tiba-tiba warga dan preman sekitar menyerang. FPI merasa dizalimi. Kerusuhan FPI turut mengangkat isu UU Ormas yang beritanya mulai digantikan dengan tanjakan harga jengkol dan cabe. Pada 21 Juli 2013 The Jakarta Post (TJP) mengutip Gamawan Fauzi, Menteri Dalam Negeri, yang mengungkapkan FPI dapat terjerat UU Ormas. Bahkan FPI dapat dibubarkan.

It is indeed a hot afternoon. The sun wishes to burn us, inside-out. I could hear my heart pounding from work harder, I could feel my skin head crawling from the heat, and my hair wet by the sweat. But this tropic heat doesn't stop my colleague and I from discussing in the yard with green well-cutted grass. I bet it's 3pm, because I see Icha, my little sister, coming in. She's looked exhausted and soaked. As if I don't really see her, and she's not aware of my existence, she pass by to the house while I still standing in the front yard. I supposed this Indonesian-70's-era-house is not ours. The yard is too big, yet the style is too elegant--you know, the kind of big white antique house--to be ours. But for some reason, we belong to the house. Anthy, my other little sister, come after the first one. I feel happy and gracious to see her. I greet her, introduce her to my colleague, and ask about her day. She say it was just like another school day, nothin
