window to the past

Monday, June 26th, 2006

We need to open the window from time to time, and immerse ourselves through it. Remembering the times when life was indeed much more simpler, when we could still laugh outloud & finger the world, and throw every care to the wind.

At the same time, we were secretly wishing that someone would close the window and lock us there forever.

I don’t think I would mind.

feel the heat

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

This time I’ll surely fall. There’s no way to avoid that, even praying won’t help. I’ve let my guard down, and there’s no turning back now. I just hate it if I have to learn things the hard way. Goddamn it!

Feel_the_heatEven though I’m not rooting for Miami Heat, I have to congratulate them for winning the NBA this season. They are the first team to ever win the series after losing the first 2 games, and sweep the next 4 consecutive games.

And no matter what Mark Cuban has to say, the Heat are worthy champions. They don’t blink when the game is on the line, that’s probably because of several seasoned veterans in their team and Flash. He really carries the Heat team on his shoulder throughout the Playoffs, just kinda reminds us of a young No. 23.

I feel bad for Dirk Diggler, but at the same time I’m also happy that Zo, The Glove, White Chocolate, and ‘Toine finally get their rings. They’ve chosen the right team to reach the Promised Land.

the forgettable omen

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

The_omenI desperately wanted to see a movie last week; it was a toss-up between The Omen or Over The Hedge, even though I slightly leaned toward the devil’s son. So there I queued among parents with kids wearing those colorful Over The Hedge t-shirts, silently thankful that I chose The Omen because I’d be the odd-one-out if I went to see the other movie without wearing the same t-shirts like those kids.

But now, I thought that I should’ve braved myself and sat myself among the kids as the omen about The Omen wasn’t that good. The best thing about the movie were only the first 5 minutes, and the last 10 minutes of the movie especially when a Vatican official informed the deeply troubled and ill Pope about the outcome of Damien.

If it’s not for a couple of scenes that made people jump off from their seats literally, the movie was forgettable at best. The end is clearly predictable and it didn’t live up to its reputation to scare, even Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense generates more fright than our little Damien here. The appearance of Remus Lupin & Dumbledore also failed to save the movie. It’s like the movie was doomed to fail, just like our world.

ampun

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Tidak ada yang lebih nikmat daripada penyerahan diri total kepada Yang Maha Kuasa. Tersungkur dihadapanNya, mengakui semua kesalahan, kesombongan, dan menyadari betapa tidak berartinya diri kita. Menunduk malu saat meminta ampunan atas segala dosa yang kita perbuat. Mengapa kita butuh waktu demikian lama untuk menyadari betapa Maha Pemurah DiriNya?

Terima kasih, Bapa atas uluran tanganMu di kala aku tenggelam dalam ketidakberdayaan.

don’t bother

Friday, June 9th, 2006

Why should I care if you don’t even bother to do it? And it’s you who are supposed to be responsible for it. It’s always easy to make the world go round based on your command.

Just don’t get me in it, cause I HATE your world.

calendar

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

I’m here again after running away from everything for a couple of days. Did it work? I believe it just made it worse. Instead of making me fresher & more energetic, it made me more lethargic and disinterested as ever. Not to mention my laptop that has to stay in the service centre once again. I say it’s about time he goes to the retirement land to be recycled.

Nowadays I keep looking at the desk calendar over and over again; probably the most I’ve done in my entire lifetime. Pondering, weighing, calculating, and charting the decision to take. Life shouldn’t be like this. One should not wake up every morning and think on how to survive as the first thing on his mind. I’d rather not wake up if I have that choice, but making a choice is a luxury that I currently don’t have.

So, I’ll just keep looking at my calendar, pondering, weighing, and calculating.

Thank you for all the well-wishing. Thank you for remembering and caring. Thank you for reminding me how close I am to the big 3. Thank you for making me feel special today. Thank you for having me in your circle.

You don’t know how much it all means to me. It makes life more worth living.
