Hiatus

Never in my mind, I'd have to go through this kind of night. When you said you want to take a break. You mentioned that it was not us, it was just you. It's the long commitment that suffocate you; and for that you asked for a pause.

It was not an easy statement for me to hear; it's never even become a question for me to approve.

You said, you'll go away for a while; but what may be short for you can be a lifetime longing for me.

I know I'm just too selfish to ask you to stay, though my reply was never meant to be heard anyway.

So you just sit there, silently, asking for my blessing to fly. You said that growing apart can never hurt anyone and we'll learn something more walking this path.

I'm just scared of being here with your absent. 'Cause you were there when I reached the low end. So now, who should I run to next?

I know it's a lie to smile at the end, while a tear just a drop away for me to shed: but I know you mean well. I know you want what's best for you and me.

So now, am asking for your prayer. For me to be strong while waiting for you to come along.

I'll be waiting here, for the hiatus to be over. I'll be here with a grown-up attitude and a big smile on my face. I'll be here longing for your hug.

Till we could see the spring again.

and till then, I will love you still.

A new perspective

Someone once told me that there is nothing wrong with changes. He said that it would give me new perspective. He said, with me being away, it would makes me appreciate the thing that I had before. And yes, sure, Lately, I have been feeling it to be true. To be away with the things that I used to hold on - makes me realize that I have been spoiled. And now, I need to learn how to survive. To learn how to be brave again. And, sometimes, inevitably -- learning how to be OK with the sound of nothingness. Of course, once in a while, I envy those people who are still surrounded by luxury things. Obviously, I would constantly complain about the absence of my old routine. And, also sometimes, I would try to run away -- find the best escape route, just to get rid of the pain. How I hate changes. I wish some things were just stay the same -- forever. But then, I won't ever learn how to fly higher. I won't grow. But then, I also kind of asking my self, ... do I real...

one missed birthday

Ring . ring . Pukul 06.00. Aku terbangun dengan kepala sedikit pusing. Bingung karena tak merasa memasang alarm yang akan membangunkanku di pagi buta ini. Kuraih handphone mungil itu dan melihat tulisan di layarnya. Yagh, memang bukan alarm. Hanya reminder. ‘Sarah’s birthday.’ Dengan segera aku buka phonebookku yang sudah tak terhitung lagi ada berapa banyak nama yang terpampang disana. Ada! Nomor telepon Sarah di negeri seberang itu. Tapi, masihkah ia menggunakan nomor ini? Kuurungkan niatku dan segera menuju menuju shortcut Facebook dan mencari namanya diantara 1000 nama lainnya. Tidak ada! Aku mencoba membuka semua foto dan notes mengenai dia. Tidak ada! Kemana dia? Namun ternyata rasa penasarannya termakan oleh rasa kantuk yang masih luar biasa. Aku kembali tertidur dan melupakannya dengan segera. Siang ini sepi. Aku hanya duduk sendiri di area kampus yang selalu bisa membuatku tidak merasa sendiri walaupun pada kenyataanya tempat itu memang sepi. Terl...

Mimpi saya untuk mereka - penolong skripsi saya!

Beberapa hari belakangan ini, saya jadi teringat komentar teman-teman atau orang-orang yang bertanya tentang tugas akhir saya. Sebuah pertanyaan yang sebenarnya sangat klise dan bisa saya jawab apa adanya. Karena penelitian saya berhubungan dengan orang Tunarungu, dan ternyata pas nya lagi, di try out saya yang (Alhamdulilah) ke-tiga kalinya, saya diminta untuk ganti metode sama dosen pembimbing saya. Pada awalnya, cara saya mengambil data adalah dengan metode survei dengan mengisi skala/kuestioner, lalu, karena data saya tak kunjung valid, dosen pembimbing saya yang pantang menyerah dengan penelitian saya, mengusulkan saya untuk mengambil metode wawancara untuk mengambil data. http://maxcdn.fooyoh.com Pertanyaannya adalah: "Bagaimana cara mewawancara mereka?" Pertanyaan itu sering sekali ditanyakan oleh orang-orang yang tahu mengenai seluk-beluk skripsi saya. Ada yang keheranan, ada yang merasa itu cukup mustahil, ada yang merasa saya ini becanda, atau bahkan a...
