Buku Harian Emo

Okeh. Gw bakal blog pke Bahasa.
Why? Becos I can. LOL. Ga deh. Karena gw bakal mengutip banyak kata-kata in Bahasa.

Jadi gini.
Hari ini gw start packing buat pindahan minggu depan (so fast man. Hello September bentar lg)
Banyak banget yang musti di pack.
Mulai dari novel segudang, udah dibuangin 10an aja masih sisa sekardus ._.
Pokoknya gw jd menyadari :
1. Betapa banyak sampah-sampah such as kardus2 bungkus parfum or make-up etc yg sudah saya timbun selama ini
2. Obat sama makanan2 udah banyak yg past expiry date. Kalo keminum sih fatal.
3. Sepatu 30 pasang buat apaan ya. Kaki cuman 2 juga. Women!
4. Pantesan orang2 ini suka 'spring cleaning'. Gw baru 2 taun aja udah bisa menimbun mini Bantar Gebang. Nah gimana yg udah taon2an tinggalnya. Ohmy. Pusing duluan.

Yah begitu deh. Fifty : fifty deh barang yg kepake sm sampahnya.
Gw sih tega loh kalo buang barang. Lol. Entar nyesel sndiri.

Anyway. Ditengah-tengah sampah hunting tersebut, gw menemukan 2 buku.
Ets! Bukan sembarang buku.
Buku yang saya tulisin dari hari ke hari dan berkisah tentang hari-hari ga penting saya.
I mean : DIARY.
Iye gw dulu nulis diary. Kan belon jaman blog. Terus diarynya diumpetin di rak baju dalem.
Ok ga penting.
The point issss, 2 diary ini ternyata saya tulis di jaman-jaman baru mulai kuliah.
Serius. Bener2 headache to the max deh pas baca.
Gw jadi mikir 2 kali, bahkan 1000 kali, kalo mau ngejudge orang 'alay' or 'emo'.
Tentunya karena di saya merasa kalo orang yg nulis diary itu adalah sangat alay dan emo super.
Dan.. Unfortunately, orang itu adalah.. Saya.

Ok lah. Ga semuanya alay.
Kadang ada lirik lagu (emo) terus ada gambar2 cewe anime2 (yak gw dulu demen scribble2 muka2 cewe begitu deh.....) terus ntar kalo mslnya lagi sedih bakal ada gambar cewe berambut panjang ditiup angin memandang jauh ke entah-ke-mana. Ada helaian daun gugur beterbangan disekitarnya.
Niat. I mean, niat banget emonya. GILA.

Tenang2. Ga semuanya negatif kok.
Banyak banget entry2 yang bisa bikin introspeksi.
Bahkan byk pelajaran yg bs dipetik dr halaman2 tersebut.

PELAJARAN YG BISA DIPETIK DARI BUKU HARIAN EMO :

1. Flash back.

Jadi inget jaman2 awal kuliah dulu. Enak banget kerjanya kaya Dora, exploring Singapore.
Tipe-tipe makanan pelajar, macam Botak Jones, Astons, Lenchon, Boon Tong Kee (depan rumah soalnya).
Belajar cuman beberapa jam. Sisanya berpikir keras harus 'hang-out' di mana. LOL.
Terus inget dulu skill masak saya lumayan loh. Suka masak2 bareng temen-temen lain. 
Makanannya musiman. Pernah musim spagheti. Trus musim mango salad. Musim ayam kuning. Musim jamur goreng. Musim sop jamur kalengan. Musim crabmeat sandwich. Dannn masih banyak lagi.
Tiap hari temen-temen bakal dateng ke rumah. Terus saya dan Nana masak, sisanya harus bebersih meja or nyuci piring. Haha.
Ada jaman2nya pada demen banget maen bultang, gw kena book lapangan mulu.
Terus ada jaman2nya berenang. Ini tp belakangan sih.
Terus gw paling suka jaman exam. Why? Bukan karena gw semacam freak-genius yg menanti-nantikan exam bak GSS. Nono.
Tapi karena ada temen yg dateng berjam2 buat belajar.
Gw tinggal tidur siang aja dia masih bisa belajar loh. Yah. Berarti dia yg freak, bukan saya.

2. Emo itu bukan pilihan.

Yes bro and sis. Emo itu bukan pilihan. Tapi kepepet.
Ga ada option laen. Ga bisa liat kalo God's grace itu juga mencakup ke kondisi pas putus cinta.
Iya loh. Gw emo karena putus cinta. Ya gw ga pke malu-malu sih.
Kan putus cinta normal. Namanya juga bocah.
Orang kakek nenek aja masih bisa putus cinta (kalo di film2 barat sih gitu ya).
Ya, dengan nulis diary dan membacanya sekarang, gw bagaikan membaca novel, mungkin judulnya 'Buku Harian Anak Baru Akil Balik', dan gw bisa liat kalo emo itu bukan pilihan.
Emo itu karena terkondisi.
Sederhananya begini. Gw ga bisa liat beyond putus cinta gw, kalo Tuhan juga bekerja di situ.
I keep telling myself kalo Tuhan punya rencana yg indah.
Tapi indahnya gw sama indahnya Tuhan kan beda. Itu yg dulu gw ga bisa terima.
Kayanya tiap at least 2 page sekali gw nanya, gimana caranya biar ga merasa begini.
Tp yah, looking back gw jd bisa liat. Betapa Yesus sayang banget sm gw, gw bisa ada di tempat gw sekarang berada, ya cuman karena anugerah aja.
Jadi gw ga perlu depend on one's love to survive. His Love is more than enough cuy.
Karena itu, gw bakal ngeliat orang2 emo (dan alay) dari perspektif lain. Perspektif Tuhan.
Who am I to judge orang emo dan alay dengan kerut muka yg 'ga demen'.
Instead of delete FB-nya or unfollow twitternya, gw bakal doain, so that one day, in His time, orang ini bisa liat betapa penting purpose hidup yang Tuhan udah kasih ke dia, jd no time for over-share di FB LOL.
Ya.. Orang gw juga dulu emo dan alay. Dan kalo bukan karena kasih Tuhan, maybe I'd still be there.


3. True to yourself

Cinta itu kaya hukuman mati. Kalo ga ditembak, ya.. Digantung.

Ya. Itu sedikit kata2 gombal yg saya dapet dari picture di Line.
Konyol. Tapi rada bener juga sih.
Jadi.
Begini.
Ceritanya.
Hmm. Susah juga.
Intinya gini deh.
Dari entry-entry yang saya tulis selama at least setaunan lebih itu, I wrote a name too often.
Dari seneng, kesel, gondok, cuek, dan lain lain. Pasti ada satu nama itu.
Come on. Kalo gw nonton film, pasti gw udah kesel bgt.
It's too obvious kalo ada sesuatu di situ.
Tapi gw refuse to be true to myself.
Instead of flee from things you know that is not right for you, I told myself that this is nothing.
Bukan cuman 'nothing', gw bahkan mentoleransi hal-hal yang sebelumnya gw ga pernah toleransi, just to keep him company.
I don't really like myself back then.
In my head I know 'Ga bisa nih.'
But in my heart it's like 'Ah..... This is just. Nothing.'
And I keep going back and forth to let go. 4 years.
4 years. When I decided to admit it and be true to myself, God give me strength that I never thought I could have before.
Like John Mendez said. When you play with fire, you'd get burn.
When you know that something wasn't right, don't ignore it.
Flee! Immediately.
Before years passed and it is too hard for you to let go.
You're just too precious for God.
And no-one, NO ONE, could fill that God-shaped hole in our lives, but well, God himself.


Yah. 3 point aja deh ya.
Kayanya rada berat untuk dicerna. Padahal gw pengen keep it simple dan ringan.
Ohwell.
Untuk menghibur kalian, nih gw kasih kutipan puisi emo yg gw tulis2 di buku gw.
Jangan terlalu dihina yah. Makasih hehe.



Goresan Tangan yang Hilang Asa

..karena aku lelah
mencoba lupakan dan sia-sia
menggantikan yang tak terlupa
bagai meraih udara malam
dalam genggaman, tak kasatmata

..karena aku hidup untuknya
aku ada ketika dia menyapa
ketika dia nyalakan bara
hidupkan rasa, berkecamuk di dalam dada

..karena pada akhirnya, ku mati untuknya
aku hilang ditelan lara, ketika dia berkata
tak ada lagi ku dan dia, dan
masa depanku bukanlah masa depannya

..karena meski raga dan nyawa binasa
hatiku masih tetap miliknya




SEKIAN. THANK GOD.
Ya kan. Alay banget. Yep. Happy laughing.
Gw jg bakal ketawa kalo yg nulis bukan gw sendiri lol lol.
Parah banget fokus hidupnya melenceng banget ini sih hahahaha.


Ok sekian ya ketawanya.

Just like I said before.

Looking back, I now understand what's the phrase 'caught in His grace' means.
That really, it is not because of who I am, or what I am, or how hard I try.
It is not because I was born a Christian.
I could hear every story in the Bible, read my daily devotion every day.
I could hear people tell their stories about His signs and wonders.
Pastors and preachers could tell me that I should love God because He first love us.
But if it's not for His hands that reaching out to embrace me, I wouldn't UNDERSTAND.
That whatever comes may, His love for us is unshaken. Limitless.
And to experience His presence in the middle of storms in life, just emphasizing that nothing in this world could be safer than when we're with Him.
That's why, knowing how His love was never moderately given, always abundantly, I had no choice but to let go of all the loneliness.
When I found out that He is faithful and His promises never change, I know that I am forever safe and there's no space for insecurities.




Good night peeps.
You are loved.

When God Made a Promise

“I know this is too fast. And please don’t ask me why, because I don’t have the answer. I don’t know why.” “I won’t ask you why. Because I know.. It’s God.”   Wkwkwkwkwwkwkwkwkww duh supershy padahal biasanya ga tau malu. I’m still getting used to this. But those who viewed our IG feed and saw the pic posted in FB would know what this is all about. The Promise of God. It’s been there, mentioned the wholeee time in my earlier posts, yet unnamed. I’ll try to recall the whole story. Some details would be lost in translation because there are wayyyy TOO MANY. Haha. Fyi. I’VE BEEN WAITING SOOO LOOOONG TO SHOUT THIS OUT LOUD. So, here goes. Last Sunday, R asked me out to dinner. A few days before, he’s mentioned this fancy place and I calmly (I think) said, “Yes, yes why not” while inside I was [insert screaming emoji here] knowing that this is not a normal dining experience. OMG. I was so glad it’s through a text message, otherwise he would see me SCREAM

The Boy Who Showed Me My WHY

So last week, the entire school left Redding for ministry trip around the States. I went to Phoenix for 8 days and came home to school with tons of testimonies of healing, people set free, delivered, and experiencing the love of the Father in the most tangible way. But here’s my personal take on the trip to Phoenix, AZ. I met a boy and this divine appointment marked my life forever. I told God (and my team mates), if the reason of my entire trip, all the whirlwind of fund raising and preparations, was just for this one moment with this boy, I would do it all over again.  So on an evening, I was told that I would go to minister to kids in a home church the next day. (On prerequisite of being in the trip with Bethel people is a heart that is always ready with a smiley YES to whatever comes next. HAHAH. So many last minute change, you could be blindsided by the suddenness of if. Or you can take it as an invitation to lean on the Holy Spirit leading. It’s nerve-wrecking for a bit, but once

I Belong to The Youth

SO! I don't know where to start. But I certainly could say that THIS is not the end. God is not done yet. In fact, earlier today I was discussing things with Ijah and we both agreed on something : we are on an accelerated roller coaster ride. Faster than ever! Higher than we ever been before! There are milestones in life. Like moments when you graduated uni, or when your PR is approved. When you moved overseas or going back for good. Moments that marked a change in the season of life. But there are other kinds of moments : intangible, but leaving marks so deep your brain might let go but your soul never will. And last week was THAT kind of moments. A series of events that, combined together, was just.. Well. I couldn't find A WORD to describe it best. But I would try my best to re-tell the story. Here goes. (Beware. It's gonna be long) I was considering a one day leave, a half-day plus another half-day, or simply a 2 days leave to attend Empowered21. If you'
