a glimpse of line from Warm Bodies

I've done reading Warm Bodies, a novel about zombies. I read the novel after read the good reviews about its movie, nah instead of going to the theater watching its movie, I'd rather read the stories word by word.
"theres no benchmark of how life’s “supposed” to happen Perry, there is no ideal for you to wait around for. The world is always just what it is now, and it s up to you how you respond to it.” Perry’s Dad.
“everything dies eventually. We all know that. People, cities, whole civilisations. Nothing lasts. So if existence was just binary, dead or alive, here or nor here, what would be the fucking point of anything? My mom used to say that ‘s why we have memory. And the opposite of memory – hope. So things that are gone can still matter. So we can build off our pasts and make futures. Mom said life only makes any sense if we can see time how God does. Past, present, and future all at once.” Julie to Perry

The future is the tricky part. The past is made out of facts and history, I guess the future is just HOPE. Its shitty world and shit happens, but we dont have to bathe in shit.

I always enjoy reading over watching movies. I love how Andrea Hirata tells the story of Laskar Pelangi better than what movie can show me about the story, all and all I always have something to learn about reading stories instead of watching movies.

Pathetic Saturday : under the state of Randomness.

Have u felt like it’s really really boring until you didn't even know what to do? Like what you’re trying to do to kill that boredom did nothing at the end and you can switch activities once in a while instantly, like you did so much randomness in a very short of time? It does happen to me this time. And it happened to one of my friend at office yesterday, when the working hour just got off. For me the feeling of this boredom can lead me to any of random things. I woke up to the fact that I missed doing my prayer on time so I forced my body to move and did my obligation. After it done, i don't know what would I do in this whole day, and when such feeling hit me, it feels like shit. It’s actually rain that screw all of the plans. I've planned to go at some place looking for a proper baby stroller (with a proper price of course) as a present for my friend’s new born baby girl, and will maybe end up home with a pair of wedges or liberated feeling after bought some goo...

“siapa?” message sent. Seusai membereskan meja dan isi tas cangklongku, aku meneguk setengah gelas terakhir air putih diatas meja, sambil menunggu balasan pesan, aku membuka-buka laman twitter. Nomor tidak dikenal itu t iba-tiba menelepon. Lantunan “youre beautiful” dari James Blunt terdengar hingga refrain, aku enggan mengangkat telepon. Dalam beberapa detik itu aku benci memi k irkan bahwa ketika seseorang tiba-tiba meminta maaf atas kesalahan yang terjadi 2 tahun yang lalu, sudah tentu bahwa luka lama sedang mencoba untuk dibuka kembali. Aku benci mengingat-ingat masa lalu. Why don't you came into my life again just as a stranger?  A complete stranger instead of came in, asking for apology about what have passed? Damn.

Membangun Perasaan Syukur.

Suatu kali aku merasa sangat tertekan dengan keadaan di kantor, sekilas tampak dari luar, unit kerjaku menyenangkan, obrolan-obrolanku kepada teman-teman tentang seneng-senengnya bekerja dengan rekan kerja yang masih pada muda-muda itu lebih banyak sebagai kamuflase jadinya, padahal aku bercerita tentang yang sebenarnya hanya kepada sebagian orang yang aku percaya. Suatu kali itu, aku bilang kepada seorang teman dekat, bagaimana inginnya aku ‘kabur’ dari realita kerjaan dengan boss yang demanding itu, bagaimana bobroknya institusi ini padahal aku pun makan dari penerimaan gaji disini, dan banyak hal lain dari segala pikiran negative yang bermunculan seketika. Malam itu aku pulang kerja dan merasa sangat lelah sekali. Begitu jelas bagaimana pikiran-pikiran negative melumpuhkan syaraf-syaraf positif dalam diri, lahir maupun batin. Tulisan ini bukan tentang curhatan (ngarepnya), tapi mungkin akan berguna sebagai self reminder. Seketika setelah aku mengeluh dengan segala keluha...
