How do you know when you’re in love with someone? Is it when he’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you wake up and the last thing that you think of before you go to sleep? Or is it when your heart melts every time he looks into your eyes? The truth is, the signs come in a thousand different ways.

When you’re having a really bad day and hearing his voice on the phone just makes it all go away. When all you want to do is listen to him talk passionately about his plans for the future. When you would sacrifice your shopping time just to cheer him up on the field. When a mention of his name makes you miss him so much. When all you want to do is staying up and taking care of him when he’s sick. When your face glows every time you meet him. When even the way he laughs and eats and sleeps fascinate you. When you realize you can finish each other’s sentences. When you can recognize his perfume from miles away. When you laugh when he laughs. When you love seeing the reflection of yourself in his eyes. When you can’t stop smiling every time people talk about the two of you. When you remember him in your prayer. When you feel that he’s the only one who can understand you. When everything that makes him happy will make you happy, no matter how hurtful it is inside. When you’re often torn between your own egocentricity and your feelings for him. When you’re really mad at him but all you want to do is cry on his shoulder. When you can’t help glancing at him every other second as you’re both in the car and he’s seriously watching the traffic.When you actually enjoy the moment when he’s teasing you eventhough you’re pissed. When you dreams of yourself being married to him with kids. When you want to be the woman who makes him coffee and puts on his tie every morning. When you’re seriously reconsidering the relocation because it means leaving him as you move to another country. When you find his boyish whining attitude is endearing. When you find his snoring endearing. When you have your own nickname for him. When every time his name pops up in your inbox you smile. When you gladly wipes his sweat as he changes your flat tire. When you find his singing entertaining eventhough he can’t carry a tune. When you forget when was the last time his name doesn’t cross your mind. When you can remember perfectly the sound of his funny laugh, his fake laugh, and his amused laugh. When he’s the only face you want to be on your 500 bucks Anya Hindmarch be-a-bag. When you would stay awake just to watch him sleep. When you’re seriously thinking of getting a tattoo of his name on your left hand. When he makes you happy and makes you cry at the same time. When you want him to always be your ‘imam’ when you’re praying. When you’re glad that you can be helpless sometimes because it means you can rely on his strong arms to help you. When being with him makes you want to be a better person. When everything could go wrong in the world and it’s okay, because he’s there, with you.

Under the Bottom

Arguing about things waste your time. If you still have your mind for determining which one is right or which one is wrong, you'll end up running all your time out without you noticing. The point is not right or wrong, true or false. The idea is not what you think, but what you feel on the opposite party. The fact is that there exists someone out there who is affected by your actions, either right or wrong. And that they do feel pain.

For The Day To Come

It's for having a person who is willing to accept everything in you and wait patiently to hear you say, "I'm home."

What I Did During Indonesian Test

The things I like about this world
are how there exist a huge number of words
waiting to be spoken
or to be written

and how there are billion ways
to extend and deviate the meaning that each word bears

and how there are different ways to hear
a same word here just by judging the way they appear

and the fact that I do stop myself from any other thing sometimes
just to think how to make this rhymes

Could you differ?

When you were learning how to ride a bicycle, you'll ask a person to place a good grip on your bike, so that you won't fall.

The first time you were learning how to walk, you'd like someone to watch your back, so when you're about to fall, that someone will catch you, will leave you no harm, you're safe and sound.

Now that you've grown up, things changed a bit. You'll walk, yes, this time without anyone get a hold on you or to catch you when you fall. But in this path you're walking, you'll eventually find a person, a certain person, who will help you to stand once again everytime you fall.

ingin ditemukan

"sedang apa?"

"mencari orang."

"orang siapa?"

"si pasangan."

"mengapa?"

"karena setiap orang yang hilang ingin ditemukan."

Sunflower

"a sunflower will always gaze towards the sun with neither hate nor regret

it will continue to look up with a smile, even through strong wind and heavy rain

patiently bearing the pain, while waiting for the sun to shine once again

but the sunflower has never felt, or will it ever feel, any regret."

The Rest of Your Life

-When Harry Met Sally

What You Have

Everything that we have, should be held tight, should be appreciated, should be placed at your best care, at your best concern. Because there'll be someday when they slip away from you, when nothing you do could take them back.

What you have right now are the ones that want to capture your very attention. They'll wish to whisper to your conscience if they could, to thank you when you treat them well. So why hesitate? Why ignoring instead of caring?

You don't have much time. Now is all you have, since the past has gone and the future is not yours to see. Appreciate them. Be grateful.

A Chronology

Back then when you were just a little kid, everyone seems bigger, much stronger, capable of things you couldn't do. But this life was your greatest playground. Moreover, there was no game over, wasn't it? This was an endless game. You hop and jump and run all over the place, like this life is created definitely only for you. There were obstacles on your way, you stumbled and fell. Hence, you had your head face the ground, while the pain in your knee started to sting your eyes. You then were crying then people started to pay attention towards you. Lending their helping hands to get you quiet and still again, for everyone's composure. Among those hands, you noticed the pair of hands that feel just the best. They were the softest and the warmest, the ones that give you the easy feeling, that everything's gonna be just all right. So you danced your life out, thanking you have other shadows behind you that would always look at you, in case you fell of or something. The days were inevitably sweet. The nightmares were always being ease up by everyone's sweet calming words.

Then, you're growing up. You begin to notice things. You couldn't do reckless things no more. Everyone's counting on you to take care of yourself, since they have many more things they need to take care. Ah, the world starts to feel so lonely. The shadow following you is only your very own shadow, none other is accompanying. And then you wait. Oh, you find a friend. And here comes another one. Then comes other people willing to accompany you, this was the first time you experience friendship. You begin to smile again, you know that you're not alone.

Somehow you noticed that there is this certain someone among your friends whose existence feel just different to you. The one whose existence welcomes you to a decent new world you'd never dreamt of. The existence, that has much more meaning to you than other people around. It has something to do with your heartbeats, which, getting faster each time you sensed that person. Somewhere in your heart you wish that one person's shadow to follow you. To much extent, that person is the one you'd very like to be with. The wheel of fortune turns around and somehow, you and that person are being together. Lessons you learn this time? They are the sense of belonging, and the art of missing.

Wordy

It really is no matter for me
to keep repeating words you'd like to hear
If you feel comfortable with words
then I'll be able to say billion words
I do hate doing something useless
but if you like it, it doesn't sound that pointless



RLA,
one time back then in 10th grade

I may not forget, but I forgive. Because the important point is you, not me. And it is about today, not yesterday. Even though nothing lasts forever, I have my believe that it's great to be together

Shoelaces

Love is like your shoelaces.
It could be tied and make it easy for you to move on.
But it may go untied, create distance between each other
and sometimes makes you fall over and over.
But you can always tie it again,
if you care enough to look down, and bent your knee.

A girl

When a girl was created,
she didn't know with who she will be lifted
When a girl was born,
she couldn't think about even one reason
When a girl was growing up,
she was trying to figure things out
When a girl was smiling,
she was trying to hide everything
When a girl was laughing,
she was trying to escape from something
When a girl was keeping her mouth shut,
she was afraid of something she really doubt
When a girl was walking away,
she was hoping for someone to lead the way
When a girl closed her eyes,
she was wishing to have the ability of forgetting minds
When the day turns to night,
there was she sleeping tight

Princess and The Pauper

Times ago, my little sister watched her barbie DVD collections and when I happened to play with her I ended up watching the movie with her. The movie was...... childish, and quite full of songs, but I was attracted to a very catchy verse in one of the songs.

Once a lass met a lad.
"You're a gentle one," said she.
"In my heart, I'd be glad if you love me for me."
"You said your love is true, and I hope that it will be."
"I'd be sure if I knew that you love me for me."
"Could I be the one you're seeking? Will I be the one you choose?"
"Could you tell my heart is speaking? My heart will give you clues."
"What you see might be deceiving, truth lies underneath the skin."
"Hope will blossom my believing, the heart that lies withing."
"I'll be yours, together we shall always be as one, if you love me for me."
"Who can say where will go? Who can promise what will be? But I'll stay by your side if you love me for me."
If you love me for me..........

The red one is the verse sang by the barbie and the blue one sang by the guy.

The Third Eleven

Three

Three is a number, a natural number following 2 and preceding 4.

In China, three is considered the good number.
Some people say, "Third time charms."
The sentence "I love you" consists of three words.

today, three is everywhere.
today is Wednesday, the third day of the week.
this month is March, the third month of the year.
today is the third eleven of the year.

Dedicated to my very best man, whose name consists of three words. Three words for you, happy three months :-D

First Letter

I love the earth where I live this life
I love the dawn who smiles to me eveytime I woke up
I love the wind that breezes through my hair
I love the ice that prevents me from heating up
I love the night who guides me to a dream,







.......then there I'm sitting and hoping that it's not just wishful thinking
