The One Where We Should Love Ourselves More
Take the time to write down ten things you love about yourself. Even if you don’t want to publish it, do it for your own sake. Look at your list. Add more, read it over when you feel down. Tag ten others to do the same. Appreciate yourself!
1. I love my sense of creativity. Sometimes, I don't realize it, but I believe it is actually one of many things that brings me here, to this one particular point in my life.
2. I love the fact that some people do like me and care for me, eventhough sometimes I deny that lovely truth.
3. I love the fact that I may have been the perfect boyfriend candidate for people who have this fetish for "awkwardly-nerdie-big-dude
4. I love to be born as a minority in this country. Cause I've learned to tolerate and love diversity (eventhough some people don't really do that).
5. I love my new haircut. It makes me feel... sociable enough? Weird choice of word. My dad hates my new haircut, but I don't give it a damn. If being a doctor means being boring, well, I will be the not-boring doctor then.
6. I love my personality. It is complex enough to make you remember me. You can love or hate me, but certainly you WILL remember me. :-)
7. I love the fact that I have achieved some things once I could only dream about. Making movies, making my way to one organization's top people, having strangers reading and liking my thoughts, winning competitions, being on national teve, etc, etc.
8. I love the fact that my life is a drama. Seriously, a DRAMA. Once I had this psycho chick coming after me. Once I had this amazingly beautiful person who stood up for me eventhough there were rumors and gossips. Once there was also this psycho dude. Once there was also this death threat. Once I was in this weird love triangle. Once I used to be one's friend. Once I found out the secret lives of some people (but let it still be secrets). Life is and never will be boring, you know. ;-)
9. I love the fact that eventhough I may not even achieve my weight goal, I can still look damn cute. Hahaha. WTF.
10. I love the fact that slowly-but-sure I am accepting my Self.
Enough about me. What do YOU love about YOURSELF?

The One Where Mbah Surip Has Gone
Begitu shocked-nya gue mendengar berita kalau Mbah Surip sudah meninggal dunia, gue langsung bela-belain online *cari alasan mode on*. Dan bener, begitu gue sudah tergabung secara resmi ke YM, Bunga (bukan nama sebenarnya) langsung membombardir gue dengan berita ter-updatenya.
Bunga: Bos, mbah surip meninggal.
Droo: Iya, gue shocked. Kapan, gara-gara apa sih?
Sambil menunggu jawaban Bunga, gue pun mulai melakukan my famous Google research dan menemukan kenyataan yang mengejutkan itu. Gila, ya. Memang benar, nasib orang gak ada yang bisa menduga.
Manusia.
Begitu rapuh dan tak terduga.
Bunga: Baru sejam lalu, serangan jantung katanya.
Hm, Detik.com masih belum bisa menelusuri penyebab wafatnya beliau. Masih misterius. Tapi gosip yang beredar memang sejauh ini kemungkinan adalah serangan jantung.
Droo: Ya ampun. Kasian banget. Orangnya sederhana gitu, dan baru juga terkenal sekarang.
Bunga: Iyaaa. Uangnya masih utuh!
...
Er, oke. Bukan itu yang pertama melintas di kepala gue sih. Anyway, di saat seperti ini, gue pun langsung menyadari betapa menyedihkannya hal ini. Ironis gak sih? Meninggal di saat dia paling booming. Dan bener juga sih kata, Bunga: UANGNYA MASIH UTUH gitu.
Droo: Katanya royalti lagunya aja sampe milyaran. Belum dicairkan tapi. Dulu pernah denger beritanya.
Bunga: Ya ampuuun. Gue mau ngaku jadi anaknya.
...
Manusia.
Begitu rapuh dan tak terduga, memang.
Rest in peace, mbah.
Edited
Okay. I must say this is like the weirdest day ever. Setiap gue liat Metro TV, selalu ada sesuatu yang layak masuk breaking news.
Pertama berita kecelakaan kereta api. Lalu ada, tentu saja, the tragic death of Mbah Surip. Dan terakhir gue menyalakan Metro TV, sekarang sudah ada lagi pesawat jatuh di Papua. Apa yang sedang terjadi sih??
