Pasien Nyebelin

Senin, 6 Juni, 2016

Akhirnya udah bulan puasa lagi. Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa ya, bagi yang menjalankan. Gue sendiri nggak puasa nih.

Jadi gue tuh sakit dari hari Jumat kemaren ini. Jumat malem itu gue demam, panas tinggi banget sampe bener-bener nggak bisa tidur. Gila! Gue lupa kapan terakhir kalinya gue pernah sakit separah itu! Gue emang bukan manusia paling sehat sih. Bisa dibilang, gue cukup sensitif dan penyakitan. Tapi biasanya, kalo gue sakit, gue masih bisa makan, masih bisa bercanda. Malah biasanya kalo gue sakit, gue makin banyak makan. Tapi kemaren ini gue sampe nggak bisa makan men! Semua makanan rasanya jadi kaya sendal dikecapin! Jadi, bagi teman-teman gue yang suka berteori "Tari mah, sendal dikecapin juga doyan," anda salah, teman. Ternyata gue nggak doyan rasa sendal dikecapin!

So, kemaren ini gue sakit parah banget sampe udah nggak bisa makan, udah nggak bisa bercanda! Yang gue masih bisa apa? Ngamuk! Semua orang kena semprot. Aduh, maaf banget yah guys!! Jadi selama ini kalo sakit, nggak enak badan, pusing, sakit apapun, biasanya gue diem-diem aja. Gue justru paling males kalo ada yang tau kalo gue sakit, terutama keluarga gue. Tapi baru kali ini gue saking sakitnya sampe jadi manja. Tapi karena gue sebenernya terlalu gengsi buat manja, jatoh-jatohnya gue marah-marah ke semua orang. Aseli yah, kelakuan gue udah kaya kakek-kakek di panti jompo.

Jadi, pagi-pagi gue udah maksain diri jalan ke circle K depan komplek rumah, nyari madu sama obat penurun panas. Gue jalan udah kaya zombie, bodo amat. Terus gue nanya, "Mas, ada madu?" Entah gue yang lagi sakit sehingga pronounciation gue nggak jelas, atau mas-masnya goblok plus budeg, dengan muka dongonya "Hah? Baru?" Gue ulang lagi "Madu." Terus mas-masnya masih bingung. Wah! Gue langsung naik pitam! "MADU! HONEY! Itu loh, cairan lengket yang dihasilkan sama LEBAH! M-A-D-U!"
Maaf ya mas-mas circle K.

Yah gitu deh, mas-mas circle K bukan satu-satunya korban. Sahabat gue aja baru pulang dari Jepang, udah gue resein, gara-gara gue sensi, pas gue izin absen, WA gue di-read doang. Bilang "Get well soon" kek gitu, sok-sok perhatian dikit kenapa sih! Terus gue ngambekin satu keluarga gue, bilang kalo mereka semua nggak ada yang peduli. Pokoknya drama abis! Lo tau Modern Family? Nah, gue pas sakit kemaren tuh kaya Cam udah tua di panti jompo. Rese, ngeselin, super drama!

Mungkin gue satu-satunya orang sakit yang nggak bikin simpati kali ya. Harusnya sih pada kesel tuh sama gue. Apa jangan-jangan makanan yang disuguhin ke gue kemaren-kemaren ini bener-bener sendal dikecapin?

LGBT

Selasa, 5 April, 2016

Orang-orang udah pada heboh LGBT dari kapan, gue ke mane aje? Hari gini masi ngomongin LGBT?

But believe it or not, isu ini ternyata masih hot aja di antara teman-teman gue.

Gue sedih, malu, dan kecewa sama banyak orang di Indonesia, bahkan sebagian besar orang-orang di lingkungan terdekat gue.

Beberapa bulan yang lalu masyarakat sempet dihebohkan dengan berita pelecehan sesama jenis yang dilakukan salah seorang selebriti Indonesia. Gue sendiri baru denger beritanya, mungkin sekitar sebulan-dua bulan setelah kejadian. Tiba-tiba gue sadar, kok di mana-mana jadi banyak yang ngomongin isu LGBT? Tiba-tiba kata LGBT seolah jadi kata paling populer, topic pembicaraan paling hot di mana-mana.

Gue sendiri kaget dan jijik sama si oknum pelaku pelecehan. Oke, mungkin gue nggak lebih baik dari dia. Tapi gue benci dengan apa yang dia lakukan. Dia pantas dapat hukuman berat.

Tapi yang bikin gue kecewa, kenapa terus kejadian itu jadi dihubung-hubungkan sama LGBT?

Ya, emang sih, kebetulan aja pelecehannya terjadi antara sesama jenis. Tapi kan nggak cuma cowok gay yang melakukan pelecehan. Banyak banget kali, cowok heterosexual yang melakukan pelecehan sexual, bahkan pemerkosaan ke cewek-cewek. Tapi nggak ada tuh yang mengangkat isu ‘Melarang Hubungan Heterosexual’, atau mengucilkan semua cowok heterosexual.

Kasus itu sendiri sudah terjadi entah berapa bulan yang lalu. Tapi sampe sekarang, orang-orang di sekitar gue masih aja terus-terusan ngomongin isu LGBT. Dan ngomonginnya tuh bukan dalam konteks yang positif dan membangun, tapi malah negatif, penuh ketidaktahuan, ketidakpedulian, dan salah kaprah.

Banyak banget cewek-cewek yang ketakutan sama cewek lesbian, maupun cowok-cowok yang ketakutan sama cowok gay.

Wah… pede banget lo pada…. Emangnya cowok gay bakal suka sama semua cowok? Emangnya cewek lesbian bakal suka sama semua cewek?

Walaupun misalnya emang pernah ada satu-dua cowok gay atau cewek lesbian yang deketin lo, terus kenapa?

Gue pernah dideketin, ditembak, bahkan tiba-tiba dicium sama cowok yang gue nggak suka. Terus cowok-cowok ini harus gue apain? Gue harus takut sama mereka? Gue harus jauhin mereka, cerita ke semua orang kalo mereka ini pernah deketin gue, pernah nembak gue, pernah mau nyium gue, terus gue jadiin bahan bercandaan? Lebih parahnya lagi, apa gue harus takut sama semua cowok heterosexual, hanya karena mereka penyuka wanita? Belom tentu juga kan semua cowok suka sama gue?

Buat cewek-cewek di luar sana, apa lo takut sama semua cowok yang pernah suka sama lo tapi lo nggak punya perasaan yang sama? Ya, kalo orangnya freak atau terlalu agresif, emang malesin sih. Tapi lo nggak jadi takut atau geli sama semua cowok kan?

Cowok-cowok pun gitu. Kalo lo ditaksir sama cewek yang lo nggak tertarik, apa lo bakal langsung ketakutan sama semua cewek? Ada satu-dua cewek naksir lo, bukan berarti semua cewek bakal naksir sama lo.

Soal pelecehan, pemerkosaan antar sesama jenis, emang itu nggak terjadi di antara para heterosexual? Berapa banyak perempuan korban pemerkosaan di dunia? Pelakunya bahkan bisa kakak laki-laki atau bapaknya sendiri! Jadi, perempuan harus takut sama semua laki-laki? Semua laki-laki harus dimusuhin?

Gue kenal beberapa lesbian, gay, bisexual, dan transgender, bahkan di lingkungan kerja gue ada cukup banyak gay, dan sejauh ini, mereka semua sopan dan nggak pernah mengganggu atau merugikan gue maupun orang lain di sekitar mereka. Seperti orang yang dilahirkan sebagai ras minoritas, memeluk agama minoritas, orang-orang ini hanya kebetulan saja punya orientasi sexual minoritas. Selebihnya mereka nggak ada bedanya sama lo semua. So, who are you to judge them?

Yah, gue nggak berharap tulisan ini bisa bener-bener ngebuka pikiran orang sih. Paling orang-orang bakal menghindari ngomongin atau bercandain LGBT di sekitar gue.

Midnight Rant to Georgia

2am

It's amazing how my brain could keep blabbering and blabbering, telling stories in all possible ways, when I'm far away from my computer. It's like my brain telling me over and over again to reach my computer right away, and write this and that, but right after I finally decide to make such an effort to reach my computer.......poof!

It's gone!

The inspiration has gone, the stories gone, the words are gone. Well, good bye guys! Call me maybe?

And then I always end up playing minesweeper for hours, waiting for my inspiration to come back, or at least gimme a call.

I was trying too hard to sleep. And I couldn't, because my brain kept telling me stories. It's two o'clock in the morning and I just couldn't sleep! I woke up very early yesterday, haven't got any other sleep for the rest of the day, I worked, I thought a lot, I ate a lot, didn't drink any coffee...so.. Shouldn't I be sleepy right now??


I tried to read a book, but it didn't make me sleepy. It made me bored instead. As much as I'm a talker not a listener, I'm a writer not a reader. I'm too snob to appreciate other people's work. No, Puzo, Pram, and GRR Martin, of course I'm kidding. I love you guys!
What I meant was, as someone who likes to talk and write, I don't listen and read as much as I'm supposed to.

I really need to sleep! I gotta get up really early tomorrow. If I couldn't sleep until three, I wouldn't sleep at all.

You know what? Let's tell a bedtime story.

Once upon a time...
No, not that kinda bedtime stories. Let's just tell one of stories of my life.

When I was little, I used to think that, when a girl turned into a woman, she'd automatically give birth to a baby or more. That scares the s*** outta me. I was afraid because I already knew there were some women die giving birth. So, when I was little, I thought I was going to die giving birth to babies by the time I turned into a woman.

But then I found out that, to be able to have a baby, a woman need to f**k a man. Problem solved. Don't f**k.

No, kidding again. I wasn't that bright. I was a kid. I didn't know anything about f**king. All I know was man and woman get married and they'd automatically have babies. And that was the time I decided not to ever get married.

And now I'm finally sleepy. Good night fellas!

And here I write about Love again

I wrote this on V-day but just got chance to post it on my blog because I finally got the internet connection. Happy belated valentine's day guys!

Sunday, February 14, 2016

So today started with the most hilarious birthday surprise I’ve ever been involved in. (If you’re here to read about the love, just skip to the 6^th paragraph)

Today is one of my best friends’ birthday. He was my friend from internship program from campus, and now also a friend in my team at the office. He’s like the best boy friend any girl can ever imagine. Well, I have two other very close boy friends that I love very much, and I’m not saying that this birthday boy is better than them. It’s just that, the other boys don’t have good girl friends as much as the birthday boy. Seriously, this guy has lots of girl bestfriends and he treats all of us like his girlfriend. And he’s not gay. And not a player. And never complained anything about being in the friend zone. I have proofs for all of those statements.

Yeah bro, if you read this blog, you’re the nicest person ever! You deserve all the best things in life. And happy birthday again.

Anyway, the surprise didn’t go as planned… at all. We, the surprise team were at McDonald and was going to surprise him at his house. But, we didn’t, and still don’t have phone numbers of any of other people in the birthday boy’s house. So, we had to contact the birthday boy himself. One of us, one of my best boy friends, texted birthday boy, saying that his car got a flat tire and he needed to borrow some tools. We were supposed to wait outside his house, but he already walked to McDonald instead. We were panicking. Well, funny kinda panic, not panic panic.

At the end, he caught us hiding, red-handed, and I got to bring the cake to him with all the candle still off. We had to light the candle in front of him! OMG! It was a total failure, but it was funny and memorable. I imagine if the surprise was successful, it would’ve be just like some birthday surprise SOP. You know, cake, candles, those things.

(Yeah you can skip to this part)

And it’s valentine’s day. So my friends were talking about valentine, dating, love, and that kinda stuffs.

I was kinda offended when one of the men said “It’s a problem for a woman to be single.”

Yeah, as a proud feminazi, of course I’m offended. How come is that a problem? Does he think that women need men more than men need women? Men need women more than women need men! Hell! Women need women more than women need men! I do.

Well, ignore my feminazi biased opinion. But seriously, how many single daddies can raise their children without getting next wives?

Okay, feminazi biased opinion again. But point is, is that why men and women get married? Because they need each other? Because they can’t live alone? Because human can’t live alone?

The whole who-need-who-more idea kinda scares me. It doesn’t always feel good being needed too much. I’m already afraid of needy partner. But lately I started to feel scared of needy friends too. I was scared that one day my friends need me more than I need them. I’m needy myself. I’m needy to my brother and sister, and I know it’s not a good thing.

I once wrote about relationships and advantages. It’s easy to call someone ‘taking advantage’ from you when they want your money. But if they want you for your funny jokes, for the joy of your companion, for the happiness of having your presence, aren’t those ‘taking advantage’ too?

I just realized something. Most of our relationships are based on needing each other. We wanna stay with our family, our friends, lovers, children, because we need them and they need us. Because human can't live alone, because we don't wanna grow old alone, and stuff.

At some point, one of us needs the other more than the other one does, and sometimes people just leave. And some people can’t live without their certain people, and get depressed when being left alone. It’s scary for me.

As John Lennon once said, “I can be alone without Yoko, but I just have no wish to be. There’s no reason on earth why I should be alone without Yoko.”

There.

I want to spend my life with someone that I don’t need and doesn’t need me. We would spend the rest of our life together, not because we need each other, not because we can’t live without each other, not because human can't live alone, not because we're afraid of being old and alone, but simply because we want to be with each other.

Now that’s my idea of perfect true love. Well, that, and a couple of rings with “My Sun and Stars” written inside his and “Moon of My Life” inside mine. What? That’s not cheesy! That’s ‘Game of Thrones’!

Short Notes: Me and Puberty

February 7, 2016

In my puberty years, I was 14 or something, the first time I found oil on my head. I thought I was gonna be rich. Nah, of course I'm joking. I freaked out, I thought I was gonna die. Yeah, I wasn't that bright afterall. Wait, nobody said I was? Yeah, whatever. Point is, my mom already told me about the bleeding and all the sexual-related puberty stuffs. But nobody ever told me that my hair's gonna start producing oil. The kinda oil that isn't gonna make you rich.
